Games that feature 2D and pixelated aesthetics are all the rage these days, despite the visual capabilities of the next-gen consoles. Throwing its hat into the ring (err, water) is Ripwave Racing, from sole-developer Oakleaff.
Ripwave Racing is an arcade-style speedboat racing game that features old-school polygonal aesthetics that you might have expected to see on Nintendo 64 in the late-90’s.
The game – which is still in the very early stages of development – currently features three different game modes, which include Race, Arcade (time attack mode), and Time Trial. Only one stage has been released, with five boats to choose from, along with four CPU difficulties.
It also features both keyboard and gamepad functionality, but controllers are the recommended way to play.
A demo for Ripwave Racing is currently available on itch.io, and definitely looks like a worthwhile game to check out if you’re a fan of retro racing games like Wave Race 64 and Hydrothunder.

Intel CEO Otellini to leave company in May
Otellini was chief executive since 2005
IDG News Service - Intel CEO Paul Otellini will retire as an officer and director of the company in May, ending a four-decade career with the company.
Otellini is to retire during a stockholders meeting within six months, making sure the transition to a new CEO is conducted in an orderly manner, Intel said Monday.
"Otellini's decision to retire will bring to a close a remarkable career of nearly 40 years of continuous service to the company and its stockholders," the company said.
Otellini has been a "very strong leader" who "has managed the company through challenging times and market transitions," said Andy Bryant, chairman of the board, in a statement. Otellini is the fifth CEO in Intel's 45 year existence.
A successor for Otellini will be sought by the board of directors, which will consider external and internal candidates to take over the helm of the chip manufacturer, Intel said.
During Otellini's leadership from the second quarter of 2005 through the third quarter of 2012, Intel achieved record revenue and net income. "During this period, annual revenue grew from $38.8 billion to $54 billion, while annual earnings-per-share grew from $1.40 to $2.39," Intel said.
The company also said that the board had approved the promotion of three senior leaders to the position of executive vice president: Renee James, head of Intel's software business; Brian Krzanich, chief operating officer and head of worldwide manufacturing; and Stacy Smith, chief financial officer and director of corporate strategy.
"I've been privileged to lead one of the world's greatest companies," Otellini said in a statement. "After almost four decades with the company and eight years as CEO, it's time to move on and transfer Intel's helm to a new generation of leadership. I look forward to working with Andy, the board and the management team during the six-month transition period, and to being available as an advisor to management after retiring as CEO."

How does depression affect human behavior?
Restlessness, irritability. Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions. Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pains.
What happens in the brain during depression?
Cortisol and the amygdala. The influx of cortisol triggered by depression also causes the amygdala to enlarge. This is a part of the brain associated with emotional responses. When it becomes larger and more active, it causes sleep disturbances, changes in activity levels, and changes in other hormones.
How does mental health affect mental health?
It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.
How does depression affect your mindset?
Depression doesn’t just get in the way of being happy. It can also interrupt your ability to think. It hampers your attention, memory and decision-making abilities. You may find that your executive functions are limited, so you begin having trouble seeing your way through issues.
Can depression change your face?
Wu. Long-term depression has disastrous effects on skin, because the chemicals associated with the condition can prevent your body from repairing inflammation in cells. “These hormones affect sleep, which will show on our faces in the form of baggy, puffy eyes and a dull or lifeless complexion,” says Dr. Wechsler.
What actually causes depression?
Research suggests that depression doesn’t spring from simply having too much or too little of certain brain chemicals. Rather, there are many possible causes of depression, including faulty mood regulation by the brain, genetic vulnerability, stressful life events, medications, and medical problems.
Can the brain repair itself after depression?
A depressed person’s brain does not function normally, but it can recover, according to a study published in the August 11 issue of Neurology, the American Academy of Neurology’s scientific journal. Researchers measured the brain’s responsiveness using magnetic stimulation over the brain and targeted muscle movement.
What is the number one cause of depression?
Research suggests that continuing difficulties – long-term unemployment, living in an abusive or uncaring relationship, long-term isolation or loneliness, prolonged work stress – are more likely to cause depression than recent life stresses.
What does the Bible says about depression?
“ The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” The Good News: While depression can make you feel lonely, God is still there with you. And he’s not going anywhere.
What are the 5 signs of mental illness?
The five main warning signs of mental illness are as follows:
- Excessive paranoia, worry, or anxiety.
- Long-lasting sadness or irritability.
- Extreme changes in moods.
- Social withdrawal.
- Dramatic changes in eating or sleeping pattern.
How can I test my mental health?
Online screening is one of the quickest and easiest ways to determine whether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition. Mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety, are real, common and treatable. And recovery is possible.
What causes poor mental health?
For example, the following factors could potentially result in a period of poor mental health: childhood abuse, trauma, or neglect. social isolation or loneliness. experiencing discrimination and stigma.
Can Stress give you depression?
Depression has many possible causes, such as genetics, brain chemicals and your life situation. Chronic stressful life situations can increase the risk of developing depression if you aren’t coping with the stress well. There’s also increasing evidence of links among poor coping, stress and physical illness.
Does depression damage your brain?
A depression not only makes a person feel sad and dejected – it can also damage the brain permanently, so the person has difficulties remembering and concentrating once the disease is over. Up to 20 percent of depression patients never make a full recovery.
Does depression make it hard to focus?
Other common symptoms of depression are that you begin to feel hopeless and lose interest in activities you once loved. In other words, depression itself makes it harder to concentrate because you simply don’t see the point. Then the more you lose focus due to depression, the harder and more pointless it all seems.

A Dumping Ground for Construction Debris
Albuquerque City Councilor Dan Lewis is proud to announce that cleanup has begun on the City of Albuquerque open space area at the head of Piedras Marcadas Canyon on Albuquerque's West Side.
The canyon is home to several dozen ancient petroglyphs. For decades, this area was a dumping ground for construction debris including concrete sidewalks, curb and gutter, old flooring and plaster, and household trash.
This latest cleanup effort, paid for out of the councilor's set-aside fund, will remove accessible piles of concrete rubble and get the mesa a step closer to its pristine state.
"Treasures that Deserve to be Protected"
Councilor Lewis says Petroglyph areas like these within the city limits are treasures that deserve to be protected and enjoyed by all.
"We appreciate the community input from the residents of the Sundance Estates neighborhood who brought this need to our attention," he said. "We're glad to protect an important part of the Petroglyphs and help make this part of City of Albuquerque open space a place everyone can enjoy."

Baffert said Point Given settled down after the incident and the trainer isn't concerned the colt will show any antics in the walk over from the stable area or in the saddling paddock prior to the Derby. "He's fine in the afternoon," Baffert said. "He just get so full of himself in the morning."
"Poor Pepe looked like a gerbil hanging on to a piece of PVC pipe," Bob Baffert said Saturday morning after Kentucky Derby favorite Point Given gave the trainer a scare following a routine gallop over the Churchill Downs surface. Baffert said Point Given came off the track, wheeled, and repeatedly reared straight up in the air, flailing his front legs, and causing exercise rider Pepe Aragon to hold on for dear life."Nothing spooked him," Baffert said. "There was only one camera around. This horse is just feeling so good and is so full of himself. He's just a handful. Pepe did a great job hanging on. The last thing we'd need is for him to get loose on the racetrack." Point Given did just that at Santa Anita one morning last month.

What is “music appreciation?
Well, kind of like it states: appreciation of the music or musical components to which you are listening.
More specifically, growing in understanding and the ability to identify specifically what you hear:
melody, beat, rhythm, form, texture, expression, lyrics, style…
to name a few.
And how about some learning about TEMPO?!
You’ll; be able to define this element of music after you watch!
Let’s play: “Guess The Sound”
Listen to each sound sample and see if you can guess
the correct instrument played.
Here is a fun video showing different genres of music as played on the drum set; can you identify each genre?
Here is a video discussing the element of “Form” or how a song is organized.
This video reminds me of some of the games we play in music class showing the difference between “beat” and “rhythm:
So some classes have been learning about time signatures…
I have created a fun listening activity that highlights very unusual time signatures. See if you can guess them!
These are seriously hip… by artist, Dave Brubeck
So how does this activity work?
Download the “Music Appreciation worksheet” for upper grades or “Listening” worksheet for Primary grades (links below)
Choose your favorite song
Use the definition sheet “What To Listen For in Music list of choices” to determine what you hear.
Complete the worksheet to record what you hear.
Video chat with a parent, a friend or gramma & grandpa and share your findings! Tel them what you learned about what you heard.
Then ask them to suggest another song for you OR help them complete the worksheet for one of their songs!

Well, as this post is publishing the sun is crossing the celestial meridian from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere on its journey to The Tropic of Capricorn. In more plain language, Fall or Autumn is here.
While I have put out some words and text signaling my not wanting summer to leave I do find Autumn a time of joy. Watching my farmer friends and neighbors reap their harvests is always a joy, the sound of tractors and combines humming as the farmers harvest their corns and beans and get them to the marketplace. Cooler weather less conducive the mosquitoes and other insects is always welcome. A chance to walk in the woods whether with saw or my 20 gauge 870 is always a treat.
Of course, I would be remiss in not noting this is just another progression to the upcoming ski season.
In my mind the worst thing about this time of the year is the unfortunate layout of the roadways. Sun in my face in the morning and sun in my face on the way home in the late afternoon. Oh well, in about three weeks that will no longer be a problem again until late February or early March.
Farewell sunshine until next time.
Special treat below the fold.

The heavy workload of this year’s General Assembly session produced some 728 bills from our bipartisan legislature. Though the outcome of some key pieces of legislation and an agreement on our biennial budget remain outstanding, these bills reflect the urgent priorities of lawmakers and those they are elected to represent. With a different party controlling each chamber of the legislature, the only bills which made it to the Governor were the product of bipartisan compromise built on long-standing relationships, intensive stakeholder input, and the shared priority of doing the people’s business.
Each year, at the adjournment of session, focus shifts to the Governor’s policy team as they review the often complex, diverse slate bills we send them. A new administration often means that aides who were not involved in the crafting and amending of these bills, and who are still honing their subject matter expertise, face a monumental task. The Governor is Constitutionally required to approve, amend, or veto all bills communicated to him within 30 days of the end of session. That deadline was Monday, April 11th.
With no bills possessing a major partisan bent in the mix, Governor Youngkin’s team was granted a rather unique opportunity to fully put aside political maneuvering and focus completely on vetting the policies.
Unfortunately, as the clock ticked towards midnight on his last day to act, the Governor squandered that rare opportunity with a flourish of his pen — vetoing 25 uncontroversial, bipartisan bills, all carried by Democrats, in a harried attempt at political retribution. These included nine of the 10 bills I sent to his desk— five which passed unanimously, and four others which passed with more than 2/3rds of both bodies voting in favor. These bills provided real, meaningful change for Virginians, including reducing the backlog for benefits at the Virginia Employment Commission, increasing consumers' privacy over their personal data, providing employment and insurance protections for living organ donors, and reducing overburdensome taxes on growing businesses. In five cases, the Governor signed identical House bills, then vetoed my Senate version. This is an unprecedented practice, devaluing the teamwork and collegiality which allow House and Senate patrons to navigate each other's chambers. The Governor and I have had several congenial, productive meetings since he took office, and though we have clashed over several of his first choices for appointed positions, I was surprised by this rather churlish use of his authority.
Generally, the Governor provides a thorough written explanation for his legislative actions to the Assembly — making his case to uphold a veto or win approval of an amendment. However, despite vetoing more bills than any first-year Governor since Jim Gilmore in 1998, details on the Governor’s reasoning remain sparse. In one case his office pointed out several flaws in a bill, introduced by Senator Dave Marsden (D-Fairfax), regulating cars blocking a right of way. The only problem? The final version of this bill already addressed these concerns — one can only infer that their analysis was based on the unpolished, introduced version. The Governor attributed three other vetoes to “industry opposition” including a bill by Delegate Cia Price (D-Hampton) to give localities the ability to sue dangerously negligent landlords, one from Senator Marsden to reduce high-risk braking by 18 wheelers during snowstorms, and one by Senator Scott Surovell (D-Fairfax) to index the cost of solid waste disposal. But in all three cases, the industry stakeholders didn’t oppose the bill — in fact they had actively supported and collaborated with the patron to improve the bills. The Governor vetoed several bills creating studies stating that we should not waste public dollars on studying issues — “the time for action is now.” This stands in clear contrast to the multiple times Youngkin’s office offered amendments to bills that changed active policy to studies and workgroups.
This lack of consistency surely leaves Virginians scratching their heads. Is it indicative of a prolonged learning curve, a signifier of priorities focused outside the lawmaking process, or simply frustration boiling over from a session where less than 50% of the Governor’s agenda made it to his desk? Whatever the answer, these actions serve neither the deliberative and effective culture of the General Assembly, nor the people of Virginia, well.

3 rows of 16 EXTRA LONG pins (Pin Header)
Warning: Last items in stock!
The "pin header" are these funny rows of pins that are found almost everywhere in electronic assemblies and prototyping platforms type Arduino.
If they are widely used in shield mountings for Arduino, the ones we propose here are particularly useful but also really hard to find.
2.54 mm spacing breadboard (compatible breadboard, Arduino, Pinguino, etc), these Pin Header are designed to be split at the location of your choice. A diagonal cutter or pliers will do the trick.
These Pin Header will be very handy for connecting two female plugs together, turn a female connector into a male connector (see for example our assortment of wires + extra), connect a female connector to a breadboard (see for example our tactile keyboard) are very practical to prepare your own connectors that can be plugged directly onto a breadboard or on the different Arduino connectors.
Among the rather clever uses, the Pin Header can be used to prepare :

Target: Siraj Fegeta, Minister of Defense of Ethiopia
Goal: End the militaristic crackdown on political protesters in Oromia that has already claimed hundreds of lives.
Peaceful political protests are being met with deadly force in Ethiopia. Most recently, nearly 100 protesters were killed and many more injured by Ethiopian authorities in the state of Oromia. These protesters, who have been overwhelmingly non-violent, are asking for economic equality and justice after decades of oppression and discrimination. Rather than listening to their pleas, authorities have decided to execute military-grade retaliation, resulting in protesters’ being tear gassed, harassed, beaten, arrested, and gunned down. These relentless killings and arrests have only incited more rage and, therefore, more protests, resulting in a vicious cycle.
The Oromo, the largest ethnic group in the country, have long faced discrimination. However, the origin of these most recent protests can be traced back to 2014 when they began protesting the proposed expansion of the nation’s capital into their state of Oromia. The expansion plan threatened to displace Oromo farmers and seize valuable farmland. It was eventually dropped due to intense opposition, but not before militaristic retaliation claimed the lives of dozens of protesters and landed thousands of others in jail.
Currently, the violent cycle of political protests and government retaliation has claimed upward of 200 lives, according to eyewitnesses. Ethiopia is in a crisis that will not end until the government ceases its brutal crackdown of protests. Peace, order, and justice must be restored, starting by ending the slaughter and unjust arrests of peaceful protesters. Demand that the nation’s Ministry of Defense call off all military forces immediately and end this bloodshed.
Dear Honorable Siraj Fegeta,
The horrors that have unfolded in Oromia in recent years are nothing short of a violation of human rights and a dark stain on Ethiopia’s history. Every death, injury, and arrest that has occurred since the Oromo’s protests began has left a deep wound on the hearts of Ethiopians and humanitarians everywhere. There is no justification for this amount of bloodshed and suffering. Ethiopia’s officials claim that the protests have grown unruly and must be shut down with utmost force, but I find this preposterous. Armed with nothing more than signs and loud voices crying out for justice, protesters are of no threat to Ethiopia’s police and military forces. Their slaughter and imprisonment tell all of Ethiopia that equality does not matter, human rights do not matter, and the possibility of a fair democracy is nothing more than a distant dream.
Nothing that the Ministry of Defense could do at this point could possibly undo the damage that has been done. Nothing will ever bring back the fallen protesters, many of them children, from death. What you and the Ministry can do, however, is end the violent suppression of these political protests. The Oromo and their allies’ voices deserve to be heard, not silenced, and nothing will change until the government steps down.
I must strongly urge you to call off all military and police forces immediately. That is the only way to stop this vicious cycle and regain a sense of peace and normalcy in Ethiopia.

Obesity and being overweight are problems in America that are continuing to exacerbate each and everyday. According to Jan Simmonds, being a few pounds above an individual's ideal weight is considered overweight; while obesity is being more than twenty percent above an individual's ideal weight (3). Ideal weight is a number based on one's height and body frame. TeensHealth states, "Obese people are very overweight and at risk for serious health problems" (1). Obesity is life threatening and there are many side effects associated with being obese.
Obesity and being overweight is a direct symbol of the culture. Americans always want more and once they get more, Americans still are not satisfied. Moreover, look at what America eats. Americans do not eat to get something in their bellies, instead Americans eat until they are stuffed and can barely move. When U.S. citizens go out to eat they want an appetizer, dinner, and sometimes even dessert. This fact is what is getting Americans into deep trouble- lifelong troubles that can be threatening to their health.
There are many reasons linked to obesity and being overweight. When one eats more calories than the body can burn, he/she is at risk for becoming overweight or obese. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry claims, obesity is related to depression, low self-esteem, family and peer problems, medications, genetics, poor eating habits, overeating, binging, medical illnesses, lack of exercise, and stressful life events or changes (1). Since each person is unique and has different genes, each person burns calories faster or slower than another person. Additionally, people tend to gain weight when they are upset, anxious, sad, stressed ou...

- When people think about their favorite food, there is usually multiple foods that will come to their mind. It will be something like pizza, pasta, burgers, or french fries. But, rarely do people say that their favorite food is a fruit or vegetable. Is this because of the relentlessness of the advertising from companies. Or are our eating habits something that we have lost control of. There are many questions that are being asked, and there are very few answers that are being given.

I really enjoyed taking part in The Book Club Review podcast in December. Have a listen here and join in with my quiz of 2020!
Before that I hosted a quiz for the Creative Folkestone festival. You can find a PDF version of that here - have a go!
If you couldn't get to the launch for The Book Lover's Quiz Book I've made a PDF of that too. All these quizzes feature brand new material!
Hello! Welcome to the official website for The Book Lover's Quiz Book.
Here you will find news of upcoming quizzes, very kind words about the book, other quizzes for you to try and an answer sheet you can use if you are playing in teams (which I recommend).
I'm a book lover to the core, I was a bookseller for 16 years and I now work in publishing. I also like a good quiz but I've found it's very rare to find a quiz just about books - music yes, films yes, but books not so much. So I started writing and hosting them, first at the bookshop I worked in (Blackwell's Charing Cross Road/Holborn) then in bars and pubs too. In the old world I hosted a monthly book quiz at The Betsey Trotwood in Farringdon, London, watch this space for news of its comeback.
I hope to see you at a live quiz again one day - won't that be nice? In the mean time check out my 'Next Quiz' page and join me for an online quiz - I'll do my best to make it fun!

Pentagon informed on Friday that it will keep constant flow of ammunition for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and other artilleries to disrupt the Russian supply lines.
A senior defense official told reporters that a new $775 million aid package will include 15 Scan Eagles, 40 mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicles known as MRAPs with mine-clearing rollers, and 2,000 anti-armor rounds that can help Ukraine troops move forward in the south and east, where Russian forces have placed mines.
A Defense Department official on condition of anonymity told U.S. media that the Ukrainians lacked sufficient troops and combat power to drive Russian troops from their defensive positions.
Early-August, Washington announced $1 billion military aid package, the largest ever, including also arms, ammunition and other military equipment.
This latest aid comes as Russia’s war on Ukraine is about to reach the six-month mark. It brings the total U.S. military aid to Ukraine to about $10.6 billion since the beginning of the Biden administration. It is the 19th time the Pentagon has provided equipment from Defense Department stocks to Ukraine since August 2021.


Washington, DC (March 11, 2013) – Transportation leaders from across the country met yesterday in Washington, DC to kickoff the Getting America to Work (GATW) coalition. The coalition of transit agencies, councils of government, environmental groups, labor and business organizations is dedicated to finding innovative solutions to funding America’s transit infrastructure and the $78 billion spending backlog needed to bring the country’s transit systems into a state of good repair.
“The future of public transit in America is at a crossroads,” said GATW member and Northeastern Illinois Regional Transportation Authority Executive Director Joe Costello. “Constrained state, local and federal budgets have made it difficult to keep up with maintenance and replacement of even existing transit assets like train cars, buses stations and bridges. We are coming together to shine a spotlight on the anemic state of capital funding for transit and move it up on the national agenda.”
At the kickoff event, GATW members coordinated their advocacy efforts, shared information and discussed policy principles designed to provide Congress with clear direction on how to better support America’s transit systems.
“Public transportation – from big city subway systems to small town bus networks – is one of the backbones of this nation’s economy,” said Jeff Nelson, General Manager of Rock Island Transit. “More predictable funding, increased federal investment and continued tax incentives for transit users are all actions Congress must take. We face yearly funding challenges to keep our vehicles reliably transporting riders to their jobs and back. If our buses and trains break down, so will our local economies. Congress needs to take action.”
GATW already has 49 member organizations and continues to grow. By focusing on educating riders, elected officials and the media on the facts and data that demonstrate the growing need for more transit funding, GATW expects its coalition to grow and increase pressure on Congress to act.
Getting America to Work (GATW) is a broad coalition of commuters, business groups, officials and transportation agencies that support vital investments in public transit. For more information, visit www.GettingAmericaToWork.org.

My weekends at the moment are delicious – and sacred. I guard them with my life. I’m cooking, gardening and going to the beach with my grandsons, Ryder, 19, and Jack, eight. When friends come over for swimming and barbecues I make sure everything is as relaxed and casual as possible; and if I spend Sunday afternoon lying in a hammock with a book, great. It’s the calm before the storm because in October my life is going to get a lot more hectic. I’m moving to Texas and reviving the character of Sue Ellen for the new series of Dallas.
In the original series, which ran from 1978 to 1991, the cast didn’t need to be based permanently near Southfork Ranch, where Dallas is set, as much of the filming was done in Los Angeles. For the past 35 years I’ve lived about 45 minutes north of there in a quiet little community where you can hear roosters in the morning. I wake up and go to bed without hearing traffic but if I want to go crazy in Los Angeles, I can. My children, Jeff and Kehly, were raised here and I built the house from scratch. It’s very “California” – all on one level with lots of windows and skylights looking out over 800-year-old oak trees.
I honestly didn’t think there was another life for Dallas. We’d heard talk about a movie but it never happened. A couple of years ago I suggested to the producers of Desperate Housewives that Sue Ellen should have a part in that – let’s face it, she was the original desperate housewife. But nothing came of it and I’ve spent the past few years making independent films. And then, out of the blue, I got the call about a new series of Dallas.
When you make films you’re always gathering a new basket of friends, but the joy of reuniting for Dallas is that I’ve known my co-stars Larry Hagman, who plays Texan oil baron J R Ewing, and Patrick Duffy, who plays J R’s brother Bobby, for 33 years. We’re like a close-knit family; there have been births, deaths, marriages and divorces and we all have grandchildren, yet we’re like five year-olds when we’re together. We laugh so much.
It’s a good time to bring Dallas back. Entertainment comes in cycles: the reality shows have been huge but I think people are now hungry for a good story – and many of them have fond memories of the Ewing family and all the wealth and scandal that surrounded them.
In the Eighties, Sue Ellen, who is J R’s long-suffering, alcoholic wife – for those too young to remember – was the most interesting character on television. When I first got the part I didn’t know anyone like her. I’d never even been to Texas – I’m a California girl, born and raised. I created the character by listening to what Texan woman were talking about in beauty salons, and observing what they wore and how they walked.
In those days, southern belles were still sweet and shy and reluctant to stand up to their men. They used to suppress their views and drink behind closed doors because they didn’t know how to have a constructive conversation. If they went into therapy, people assumed they were crazy. I saw all this and told the producers that we had to make Sue Ellen more interesting.
It was a very masculine show: male producers, male writers, male directors. The women were the book ends; the reactors. If J R did something, Sue Ellen would react. I wanted to establish that she wasn’t all about eyelashes and shoulder pads; inside her was this deep-seated woman who was aching to get out. In the end, she became a sort of Pied Piper for women.
My weekends during those years were often taken up with work. Sue Ellen was the other part of my life – it was kind of schizophrenic. I’d flick a switch and in she’d come and then I’d be back to my normal self. Sometimes, though, I felt like my head was scrambled eggs and I didn’t know who I was or what I was saying. And when Sue Ellen was drunk and depressed and crazy, I was very happy to get home and see my children, my dogs and my husband at the time [Ed Thrasher] and know that everything was fine.
Returning to Southfork is a bit like going back to Hogwarts for Larry, Patrick and me. It’s the same place but it’s changed. The southern belles are more independent and powerful, and they’re very fashion conscious. They think nothing of flying to New York to do their shopping, and they can do make-up better than my make-up artist. And they are very cunning – just like Sue Ellen. I don’t mean they’re nasty but they can charm you and kill you at the same time.
Sue Ellen has changed too – which came as a surprise to me at first. She doesn’t drink so much for a start, which I’m glad about. I kept trying to come up with something more palatable to drink than rum and Coke – which for me was warm Coke mixed with water. I was delighted when she moved on to neat vodka – plain old water. Thankfully the new script is written by a woman – Cynthia Cidre – and I’ve told her where I think Sue Ellen would be right now.
The new cast, which includes Jordana Brewster [as Elena, daughter of the ranch’s cook] and Jesse Metcalfe [as Christopher, Bobby Ewing’s adopted son], is extremely beautiful. At first, the three of us stalwarts thought “oh dear, maybe they’ll be beautiful and hopeless at acting”, but they’re good looking and talented.
If I look in the mirror now I am no way as immaculate as Sue Ellen. You have to remember that it takes two hours to be Sue Ellen – an hour in make-up and an hour in hair – and most people, me included, don’t have the time to do that. I’m much more natural. My ideal Saturday morning is spent on a hike with no make-up and my hair in a clip – and I don’t care if it’s raining.
But I can glam up when I want to on a Saturday night. I think any woman can be transformed by a beautiful dress and high heels. People always say that Californian women are obsessed with their appearance but I think you’ve got to take good care of yourself, for yourself. I feel better if I exercise and eat healthily. I work out six days a week because I want to be energetic for my grandchildren. At weekends I like to play basketball with them. I’m very bad and they laugh at me, but I don’t care – at least I’m out there with them. I don’t want to be watching from the sidelines.
My friends can’t understand how I can suddenly go and live in Texas for six months but, you know, actors are kind of nomads. I always tell people that my life is in pencil; I have to keep an eraser in my hand because I could always get a call that could change everything. I’m used to it and it doesn’t bother me – it’s good to leave space for the unexpected.

I Can’t Promise Nigerians CHAN Trophy – Keshi
Nigerian coach Stephen Keshi has warned that Nigerians should not expect too much success as his team prepares to make her debut appearance in the African Nations Championship.
The current home-based Super Eagles team has had little time to prepare for the Championship but that has not adversely affected expectations of soccer-loving Nigerians.
Stephen Keshi has stated that he expects the team to do the nation proud and there should be no expectations of a trophy.
“It’s because we’ve got little or no time and we are working with new boys on this project, but I hope we do the nation proud in CHAN but I cannot promise the trophy.”

Crosman Challenger With Out Iron Sites .177 only - Not Available
No Sites Included
Crosman is proud to introduce to the world the latest and greatest in competition airguns; the all new Challenger PCP. This Sporter Class air rifle was recently reviewed by the National Three-Position Air Rifle Council's committee and was approved as legal for use in Sporter Class air rifle competition.
The Challenger PCP kept the adjustable stock and ambidextrous bolt handle from the wildly popular Challenger 2000, but now includes a patented integral locking mechanism. Additionally, the completely re-designed feature set includes a two-stage, match grade, adjustable trigger and a Lothar Walther barrel for unsurpassed accuracy. The gun comes equipped with the ability to operate on either CO2 or compressed air, using Crosman's highly successful PCP platform.
Combine all of this with a visible pressure gauge and user friendly loading port, and the Challenger PCP becomes a gun that all competition shooters, young and old, can be proficient with in any shooting event. Only from Crosman, the world leader in airgun innovation since 1923.

Japan’s system of senior transit passes stands at crossroads
10:09 JST, May 3, 2022
As Japan continues to become grayer, municipal governments are looking into the cost of senior discount passes that allow the elderly to ride mass transit at reduced fares.
The Tokyo metropolitan government and all 20 ordinance-designated major cities responded to a Yomiuri Shimbun questionnaire in April. While Tokyo is not looking to change its system, 60% of ordinance-designated cities said they had made revisions to or abolished the passes.
Senior passes have been introduced since the 1970s, mainly in urban areas where mass transit is convenient. Though the idea behind the passes is to encourage senior citizens to proactively participate in social activities, the fiscal burden on the municipal governments subsidizing the fares has been increasing.
According to the questionnaire, the Kobe, Nagoya, Niigata, Osaka and Sapporo municipal governments have already revised their systems by, for example, setting upper limits on usage of the pass.
City governments of Kawasaki, Kyoto and Yokohama replied they were considering revising their systems, while Chiba, Hamamatsu, Hiroshima and Shizuoka abolished their systems in 2007 or later.
On the other hand, the Tokyo metropolitan government and six cities — Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, Kumamoto, Okayama, Sakai and Sendai — have not considered revising their systems.
The two remaining ordinance-designated cities, Sagamihara and Saitama, have never introduced the senior pass system.
For the above municipal governments with the senior pass system in place, the aggregate fiscal burden is ¥76.9 billion, according to the current fiscal year’s initial budgets.
The highest amount is Tokyo’s ¥19.9 billion, while five city governments including Osaka each shoulder more than ¥5 billion.
According to the central government’s statistics, the population 65 or older was 8.87 million in 1975 and increased to about 36.03 million in 2020.
Many of the municipal governments that have revised or abolished the pass system cited the rise in their fiscal burden along with an increase of elderly users.
In February, the Nagoya government set an upper limit on using the pass at 730 times a year. Before, usage had been unlimited. One person had used the pass more than 2,000 times a year, for an amount equivalent to ¥400,000. Thus, with fairness in mind, the city government sought to reduce the frequency.
Yokohama residents 70 and older can buy a pass in accordance with their income levels for free unlimited use of buses and subways, a system the municipal government is considering revising. The system was introduced in 1974. Back then, the number of senior pass users in the city was about 70,000, but this has increased to about 400,000 today. The Yokohama city government’s fiscal burden for the system has ballooned by 47 times, to ¥13.6 billion this fiscal year.
As the estimated number of Yokohama residents age 70 or older will increase from about 760,000 in 2020 to 900,000 in 2041, a city government official expressed alarm.
“It is possible that we will be unable to maintain the pass system,” the official said.
The Tokyo metropolitan government, however, is not considering revising its senior pass system.
“Though we notice how large the fiscal burden is,” said an official of the metropolitan government, “there are many opinions that the pass system contributes to elderly people’s motivation in life. So the system has great meaning.”

I had a chance to see the movie “The Way” last night. I’d been waiting for months…half of me excited to see a movie about the Camino de Santiago, and the other half dreading how Hollywood might choose to portray it.
I was pleasantly surprised. Sure there were some issues. Anyone who has walked the Camino will see that some of the places were shown out of sequence to what they are in real life, one albergue was identified to be in a town other than what it really is, and a couple of times the pilgrims were walking in areas that aren’t actually a part of the trail (for cinematic effect I assume). Also, I’ve never met a Canadian like the one in this movie.
All that aside though, I thought the movie did a good job of portraying the spirit of the Camino, which for me is the most important thing.
The film certainly took me right back there. I’d see a picnic bench and remember the day I ate lunch there and who I was with. The scene in the Roncesvalles albergue brought back a memory of me lying in bed trying to figure out what the time signature was of the snoring symphony that I was being treated to.
After the movie, a group of us who’d walked the Camino plus one woman who is about to, gathered to enjoy some wine and tapas. All of us said the film made us want to go right out and buy a plane ticket to Spain. The pull of the Camino is strong and I can understand why some people return there again and again. My next Camino is likely still several years away, but there is no doubt in my mind that I will go back in the not too distant future. In the meantime, The Way gave me a much appreciated little fix.

Hello everyone and apologies if this has been covered in depth already.
I am after some advice. A while ago a rear strut failed so rather than replacing one unit I decided to give a set of coilovers a go.
While this certainly transformed the handling of the car, the set in question (Spax RSX) have always given a very harsh ride. I appreciate there is always a compromise for the performance but for me the knocks and bangs are far OTT for everyday road use.
I have now decided to take them off and I need to decide whether to buy an OEM kit and go back to original OR (and this is where I hope someone can help) are there other coilover brands for similar OEM money that still provide improved handling without suffering a boneshaking ride. Ideally I'm not looking at spending more than £1000.
As a side note, does anyone know where I could get hold of an OEM kit? I'm not having much luck.
CAR: 2004 Impreza WRX with PPP (non STI)
Thank you for taking time to read this post, any suggestions welcome.

LJMU Writers' Workshop present: Writing the Body
- Wed, 17 Feb 2016
- 6.00 PM - 7.30 PM
- Tickets: £3/2
Readings from poets Andrew McMillan and Rebecca Goss.
Connecting to the current exhibition Left Hand to Back of Head, Object Held Against Right Thigh, this event brings together two poets whose work has very much explored aspects of embodied human experience. Both poets will read from new and recent work and followed by a discussion on their writing and the themes of the exhibition with Bluecoat's Head of Programme Marie-Anne McQuay.
Andrew McMillan is a lecturer in creative writing at Liverpool John Moores University. His debut collection physical, published last year, is the first book of poetry to win the Guardian First Book Award. It also won the Fenton Aldeburgh Prize for a first collection and was shortlisted for both the Costa prize and the Forward Prize for first collections. The success of Andrew’s book is tribute to the way in which his poems have spoken to so many people, exploring questions of masculinity and male vulnerability in a very direct, honest and moving way, and opening up a much needed space for thinking about men’s emotional and physical lives.
Rebecca Goss grew up in Suffolk, and has now returned to her roots there, but lived for twenty years in Liverpool, where she both studied and taught at John Moores University. Rebecca’s first collection The Anatomy of Structures was published in 2010 and her second collection, Her Birth, came out in 2013. Her Birth was shortlisted for the Forward Prize, the Warwick Prize and the Portico Prize, and won the poetry category of the East Anglian Book Awards. Last year Rebecca was selected as one of the Poetry Book Society’s Next Generation Poets. In Her Birth Rebecca addresses very directly and movingly her experience of loss and grief, writing about the short life and death of her baby daughter Ella. But in her work more broadly she also explores sexuality and sensuality, the whole range of our emotional and embodied lives.
