Q: Building a docker image (.NET Core) and uploading it to Google Container Engine? I have an ASP.NET Core app in Visual Studio 2017 with added Docker support and I have created a free trial on Google Container Engine to see if I can host this app as a container. But I'm really totally confused by just about everything...
First of all, I just need to understand how to build the image on my Windows machine (if that is even how it should be done? or should it always be built on the server side?), and then how to deploy it? I also have Docker for Windows installed, if that is needed.
I did run this command (in the folder with my dockerfile) because I figured it was perhaps what I should do:
docker build -t myapp:v1 .

It was successful but I have no idea where the resulting image went? I can't find any new files created that looks to be the image.
And then how do I deploy this to Google?
In the docs, I read this:
gcloud docker -- push gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/hello-node:v1

What does that translate to for me? I'm running a Cloud Shell in Chrome. Can I use that to push the image from my local drive?

A: If you build your image locally, you should check all images on your machine:
docker images

See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/images/ for details
THen you have to tag your image properly
docker tag 0e5574283393 gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/hello-node:v1

See https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/tag/#extended-description for more detals.
If you list now your images, you'll have two with different tags but the same UUID. NOw you should be able to push it to GKE.

RMA Global — which operates the Rate My Agent real estate agent comparison site — made a lukewarm ASX debut today.
RMA (ASX:RMY) raised $12 million selling 48 million shares at 25c each.
The stock opened its first day of trade at 24c and fell as low as 19c before closing at 20.5c — an 18 per cent drop on its issue price.
About $1.5 million worth of shares changed hands.
Rate My Agent allows punters to rate the agent and agency that helps them to buy and sell property. But the product is targeted at agents themselves, who can sign up to a free version or pay fees for greater prominence on the site.
It reported $3 million in customer receipts for the December half but burned about $4 million cash.
In February, it controversially named as 'agent of the year' a man who'd allegedly recently received a record fine for underquoting.
Rate My Agent warned in its prospectus that the continuing property downturn could result in lower agent advertising on the site — which could hit its bottom line.
At the time the prospectus was launched Rate My Agent said 27,000 agents had signed up to the service. It says it covers 77 per cent of active agents in Australia and 30 per cent of those pay monthly subscriptions.
The company says it's listing to increase its footholds in the US and New Zealand, and start looking at other markets.

Watch a Reinforced Steel Rod Break Like a Weak Little Twig
Inside nearly everything made of concrete, you'll find reinforced steel rods that compress the material, making buildings, bridges, and other structures even stronger. The rods aren't designed to break easily, but when they do, the best way to watch the destructive results is through the lens of a slow motion camera.
The Slow Mo Guys visited a Purdue University testing lab with a Phantom v2511 camera, which captured the stretching of a steel rod at 28,500 frames per second. The rod itself snaps under the tension, but in the process, its outer layer shatters into thousands of tiny pieces of steel shrapnel, which go flying in every direction. So much for supposed brute strength of reinforced steel. [YouTube]

BlackBerry PlayBook Launch Dates, Pre-Order Dates, And Early Display Photo
By Chris Burns/March 11, 2011 10:45 pm EST
It appears that some leaky ladies or gentlemen have stepped up to Engadget and shared with them some booty with a double "B" attached. In the images you see below, you'll see both a tiny display showing the BlackBerry PlayBook in a Future Shop in Canada with a very incorrect header (Motorola XOOM) and a few details on multitasking. This ad notes "it's what's on the inside that counts," making us feel like it might have gotten dropped as a child. On the other hand, we WOULD like to get our hands on this sassy little number, so we're grateful for any updates on when it'll actually be in our claws for tapping.
One other other images you see below features a Sears one-sheet that says the "Playbook," as they call it, will be available for pre-order on March 12 and will be shipping by April 10. Also they mention Baby Days, but I don't think we care so much about that. There's another image in the gallery that was sent to someone on Crackberry saying that there'll be a 33-day countdown starting on the 15th of this month – that means April 17th. Engadget again notes that their super sekret tip from a Sprint representative notes a 15th of April release date and some bonus treats.
These bonus treats include several cases and a stylus. A stylus, you say? Yes indeed, we were also tipped just yesterday as to the same exact rumor – a pen that'd be working with the tablet the day it came out. We didn't think much of it until now – heck, two rumors? That's basically fact. Take a peek at the several instances of BB goodness in the gallery below:

All through the long, dry time of bright light I have been waiting to feel the rain falling on me as I walk out into the mists that draw me to them. Grey blankets of fresh-smelling water mingled with cool air wrap themselves around me and at last I can expand back to my full size after the months of partial desiccation where every drop of water is more precious than a jewel. I love the cold and darkness of winter. I revel in the way a little wind can clear the places I like to wander of people who spend most of their days indoors. It is the time when my body and senses that are so unsuited to life inside a climate-controlled building suddenly make sense. Behind a desk in an office I am always somewhat awkward. Too many parts of me are not shaped right, the temperature is usually too hot and the lights are generally way too bright. In the forest at this time of year those situations reverse and I am granted a welcome respite from the constant reminders that those who design living experiences have decided that either someone like me doesn't exist or isn't important to consider. In the fog passing through a grove of cypress I am welcomed as long as I return the respect given to me as I arrive slowly and quietly by following the small slivers of sun that make it to the forest floor.
It is also a time for getting serious about what is important and letting go of what is not. I get to have some input on what I lose and what I leave behind. If I do it with respect and care, the cleansing process applied to my physical surroundings is powerful sympathetic magic. I look forward to the joy that is in thanking something for the time we spent together, then helping it on the the next phase of its existence. Sometimes this is under the earth or a trash can. Other times it is in another person's life. These moments of helping the wheels of change turn around again often lead to poetry, as they have in this case.
For all the beauty that is changing I send out this song. I let it float away but do not forget because without losing the pieces of the past, there would be no room for the present.
As I think of the fog and the trees when I arrive home, one little girl who is very dear to me reminds me of so much that is lost every moment and of how those same moments are what makes life so beautiful to be a part of. So I do my best to listen and to sing the songs that I hear.
Where have you run to?
How tall have you grown?


Prepare to see double in this Transformers Generations Clones 2-figure pack, featuring 2 special edition Clone figures in Legends Class scale. This Clone pack includes 2 clone character figures, Wingspan and Cloudraker, available for the first time since 1987.
In the latter years of Generation One, four Transformers were released representing a sub-group known as The Clones. Each side had Clones. The Autobots had Cloudraker and Fastlane while the Decepticons had Pounce and Wingspan. Each pair ostensibly featured identical robot modes with the alt modes being totally different. In 2017, Hasbro had planned to release four boxed sets and using the Clones as the exclusive figure in each (thus forcing your hand to buy all four sets). Two of these sets were produced, one featuring Fastclash (aka Fastlane) and the other with Pounce. However, this left their "brothers" Cloudraker and Wingspan hanging for a while. Then word came last summer that Cloudraker and Wingspan would indeed be released but as a Walgreens exclusive two pack!
By October 2017 the figures had been listed on the Walgreens web site, and soon enough fans across the United States were finding them. I do recommend reading my reviews of Fastclash (aka Fastlane) and Pounce before this review to get familiar with the base design for both figures below.
Cloudraker and Wingspan come packaged in a window box as a two pack. The background is the familiar black color seen on other "Generations" packaging. There is a "Generations" logo on the right and a vertical "Transformers" logo. In the window is Wingspan on top and Cloudraker on the bottom. Both robots are in robot mode. Set vertically are their names with accompanying faction symbols. In a fun bit of design, their alt-mode artwork "flies" towards them. Wingspan's bird mode is featured on top while Cloudraker's jet mode is "flying" across the "Transformers" logo. Towards the bottom is the "Titans Return" logo. The finishing touch is a round Walgreens exclusive sticker on the window. It is an eye catching two pack, partly because it is rather different from any other packaging.
While the heads are the same, the piece attached to the back of the head is different. On Fastclash it was a spoiler for the vehicle mode. Here it is a stabilizer fin for the jet mode.
The torso is the same sculpt as the the one on Fastclash but the way it is used is different. On both figures the back has a gap in the center. This is not used on Fastclash. However on Cloudraker there is a hinge piece with the cockpit/nosecone of the jet mode connected to it. You can actually see the holes that the hinge piece attaches to on Fastlane if you look in the gap.
The lower legs share the same basic sculpt in front, but they are different designs. The sides on Fastclash feature wheels while Cloudraker's feature the jet mode's wings folded in them. In my photos you will notice I wrap the ends of the wings over the sides of the legs. I prefer this because it forms a whole panel instead of leaving a gap. If you don't mind the gap you can just fold the wings onto the back of the lower legs.
These differences are not a huge deal in my book. The G1 Autobot Clones also featured significant sculpt differences noticeable in robot mode as well so this just continues the tradition! I think Cloudraker looks great.
Color-wise it is interesting to compare Cloudraker to Fastclash. For the most part both have the same deco colors and pattern. However I think during the molding process some colors were slightly off. For instance, the red on my Fastclash's forearms is slightly darker than the red on my Cloudraker's forearms. The same can be said for the hip pieces. It is a very slight variation on the colors but under both bright and dim lights I could see the difference. Aside from that, the two share paint applications such as the grey on the fists and the silver and red parts near the feet. The main difference here are the stickers on their chests. While Fastclash has the "race car symbol" on his chest, Cloudraker's looks like a jet fighter symbol.
Cloudraker's joints are every bit as tight as Fastclash's. Both share the same level of articulation. They also both have 5mm ports in their fists.
Swing the legs out a bit, then extend out each wing.
Swing the legs back, connecting the slot on the legs to the tabs on the sides of the torso section.
Swing the jet cockpit section up.
Cloudraker is a more compact and smaller figure than his G1 counterpart. That means his nosecone/cockpit section is a bit wider than G1 Cloudraker's. Also his wings are wider and shorter. However, the two do share some design elements such as having the robot feet swung to the back and the robot arms on the top of the vehicle. The wide design of this vehicle actually reminds me a bit of "Energon" Skyblast and I think it looks cool even if not 100% G1 accurate.
The most newly revealed parts and deco in this mode is the front where the cockpit cover and the sides are painted off white while the area around the cockpit cover is painted metallic light blue. The nosecone has an Autobot symbol on it and the very tip has a yellow triangle on it. This is directly inspired by the G1 Cloudraker's vehicle mode deco. I appreciate the nods to G1 Cloudraker's deco.
Since this figure is part of the "Titans Return" line, the designers found a way to make sure it was compatible with the mini-Titan Master figures. Swing up the central panel and you form a seat. The tab on the back of the Titan Master legs attach to the slot behind the cockpit to secure them in place. I love this play feature and I really hope this type of cross-compatibility continues through the future of the Transformers line.
The forearms have the claws/feet from the beast mode attached to them. Pounce had the holes for the pins that keep the feet attached but they were not used on his arms.
The lower legs are completely different pieces. There are design similarities of course (most notably the feet and the area above them) but the sides clearly have parts of his beast mode wings on them.
The back piece is mostly the same as Pounce's, bit it is utilized differently. Instead of the feline head, there is a bird head attached. Instead of the feline tail, you have the tail feathers from the beast mode. And of course there are no legs for the beast mode.
Overall Wingspan is still a convincing "clone" of Pounce in this mode. The main parts such as the head, torso and arms are really what draw your eye on this figure so in that respect they do look alike.
The deco on these figures matches up really well. Indeed, it is not until you get to the pink bits sticking out on the lower legs that the two really look considerably different. Of course, the primary difference is the symbol on his chest. Whereas Pounce has a feline head symbol, Wingspan has a bird symbol. The rest of his deco matches his brother. Overall both the sculpt and deco on this figure look great.
All the articulation points on this figure are just as tight as the ones on my copy of Pounce. He also has 5mm ports in his fists, just like Pounce.
Swing the arms forward, then turn the forearms in and push the claws down gently.
Rotate the lower legs and swing the wing panels out.
Swing the legs/wings up, connecting them to the tabs on the sides.
Wingspan was a rather bulky bird in G1, so the bulky look of this bird mode looks just about right. Like his G1 counterpart he has distinct tail feathers in the back, a sharply defined beak and head. The wings are a bit different than the G1 wings, which looked a bit more like mechanical feathers than these do. These have feather patterns on them yes, but they look more like wings on a plane or ship than an animal. Still, the beast mode works given that this is a Legends Class figure (or something close to it).
The wings have purple and pink paint on them, which is a bit odd. I would have thought the designers would just use the same color on both but it did not work out that way. The head features yellow eyes, a detail borrowed from G1 Wingspan. The deco looks good, with the pink, purple and white contrasting nicely against the dark blue.
Readers may notice that I used the Nonnef custom weapons and attached them in this mode. The Nonnef weapons have rectangular handles, so they fit into the slots on the hip joint area. This was, of course not by design, but more of a happy accident. Of course, being part of "Titans Return", you can seat a Titan Master on Wingspan's back.
While not the most ideal way to release the Clones, I am glad that even after two of the big boxed sets were cancelled they found a way to release these two figures. It would have been a darn shame if the figures had not come out at all! These are also two fun little figures that clearly show love for the originals. Recommended!
Given the oddball nature of how these figures were released, some fans may just want to order the Takara Tomy versions of the figures which have different decos, but actually package the Autobots and Decepticons in G1 style sets. BWTF sponsor BigBadToyStore currently has both sets in stock as of this writing (March 2018). You can order the Autobot set here and the Decepticon set here.
Completes the set of four Clones (assuming you have the other two).
Both Clones look like their counterparts for the most part.
It is rather expensive to get all four Clones (see above for links to order the Japanese versions).

Q: Quick PHP echo help What is wrong with this?
echo 'Last Chance';

As it's putting the the_permalink() before the <a instead of inside it.

A: Wordpress often echo's the content out of the function instead of returning it.
Use get_permalink() instead.
echo 'Last Chance';

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_permalink
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_permalink

A: Actually it looks good to me (but see my edit comment).
Better is to embed PHP into HTML:
<a title="Last Chance" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="status open">
   Last Chance

Edit: As @Marwelln found out, the_permalink() is already echoing data. Still, this is a better solution than echoing the HTML.

A: I guess you have echo "abc" in the the_permalink function. In order for this to work as you wish, you have to return "abc" instead of using echo.

A: Use it like this (not inside echo )
<a title="Last Chance" href=" <?php the_permalink() ?> " class="status open">Last Chance

See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_permalink for more details.

Job Ukranian Footballer
Ukranian Politician
Desc Yet another player to win the Ballon d'Or with Ancelotti as their manager, Shevchenko was by far and away the world's best number nine during his seven-year spell at the San Siro. Only two players have scored more than the Ukrainian under said coach and lest we forget that he converted the winning penalty in the 2003 Champions League final

Org Ukraine National Team
Club as Player Chelsea FC
Wife Kristen Pazik
2011 02 27 Retrieve
[On-loan Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko is delighted with the way AC Milan fans have welcomed him back to the San Siro] It's fantastic, I'm really pleased. For me, the emotions have never changed. The affection of supporters is very important for me because helps my morale and motivation
[Euro 2012 was awarded to Ukraine and Poland in March 2007] This is my dream, and it is also a dream of my countrymen. It is huge to finish my international career at such a tournament in front of my home crowd
[As a child he had to be evacuated from the Chernobyl region] It will be a great achievement if my goals and the victories they bring will remind the world of that great catastrophe and its victims
[Shevchenko claims he still enjoys playing, and even went back on the intention to retire completely after Ukraine finish their part in Euro 2012] I will continue as long as I have positive emotions
[For Ukraine Striker, Ending Is Also a Beginning] My whole life has been connected with this ball
I have several offers. I asked everyone to wait until the end of this tournament so I can decide what to do
All my dreams came true. My best characteristic is that I made the most important goals in the most difficult games
I'm 35; I don't have a lot of time left. I've prepared very seriously
[A month before the disaster at Chernobyl, Shevchenko, then age 9, signed with the youth team at Dynamo Kiev] My first coach came to my house and talked to my parents. I went back and started training seriously at Dynamo
[Shevchenko said he believed the British news media was overstating the extent of racism in Ukraine] They talk about Ukraine like we don't have culture, like we don't have nothing. Of course, we have a lot of problems, but people are nice. I don't see this racism
[Yanukovich became Ukraine's president in 2010. Ukrainian politics are again stormy] I'm not taking any side. I took sides long ago. Now, I represent Ukraine to the world. I have my own mission
[He said he saw no purpose in a political boycott] If European leaders want to change something, they don't have to use sports for it
[But his main interest remains soccer, Shevchenko said. After his playing career ends, he wants to coach] This is the world I understand, the world I want to stay in
[Andriy Shevchenko on Paul Scholes] They have two of the world's best young players in Ronaldo and Rooney, but the player who most impresses me is Paul Scholes. He is United's most important player, and makes most things happen on the pitch
[Quote on Cafu] A warrior on the field and a sincere, kind man off it. Strong and powerful, his runs from defence led to numerous goals at AC Milan and his jokes helped to ease the pressure during training and in matches
[Andriy Shevchenko has backed AC Milan legends Paolo Maldini and Zvonimir Boban to put the club 'back where it used to be' after they were given key backroom roles] Maldini and Boban will guarantee that the club mentality does not change. They will do well. Paolo is growing as a manager. The expectations are high, but I believe that Paolo and 'Zvone' will bring Milan back where they used to be.
[Marco Giampaolo was appointed head coach in June and Shevchenko has been impressed by the former Sampdoria and Empoli boss] He seems like a guy with strong ideas, like these managers [Maldini and Boban]. Giampaolo is a coach who can achieve great results through play. He gives the impression he is prepared: I believe it was a good choice
[The 24-year-old Piatek is set to wear the iconic number nine shirt, following on from such names as Filippo Inzaghi, Marco van Basten and George Weah, and Shevchenko said the Poland international is a worthy successor] The way he entered Milan, the naturalness, the important goals he scored, it was a great impact and now it is right that Kris also takes responsibility for such an important shirt. It's not just about wearing certain shirts. Milan's story itself is both beautiful and difficult to wear on the skin. This is demonstrated by the attachment of the fans: in recent times the results have not been the same, yet I have seen that at Milanello for the first day of training there were thousands of people
[Coronavirus crisis reminds Shevchenko of Chernobyl] I'm near London, I live just outside the city. I've been locked in for almost 10 days. We live this difficult moment with hope, hope that things will improve. The only solution is to respect the rules laid out by the government, stay at home and give doctors the opportunity to do their job. All the doctors in the world are doing a great job, the nurses, [the] volunteers. Thank you so much for all that you're doing for us. You're truly the heroes of our time. I experienced a very similar situation when I was nine years old and the Chernobyl power plant broke out. It was a difficult time. The only solution is to believe in government decisions. We don't have to do stupid things, especially not leaving the house. We don't know if we have the virus or not, there are many people who can be infected and carry the virus with them, continuing to pass it on to other people without symptoms. We mustn't only think about ourselves but also the many other people we can infect
[Andriy Shevchenko: I would love to manage AC Milan one day] Milan is always in my heart and one day, when I decide to change, I would love to train them. We must try to finish the season at best at this moment. Everyone will have to give their best to have respect of the fans. Then, we will see what will happen and what future the club will have

Contact tracing: Who's at..
Contact tracing: Who's at fault for unidentified patrons
Scott Emerson
air travelborder closurescovid-19Queensland
Queensland venues have been given 72 hours to move to electronic check-ins after contact tracers struggled to identify patrons of The Glen Hotel due to illegible handwriting on paper tracing forms.
Scott Emerson said The Glen Hotel had received criticism over the weekend for the illegible forms.
"It's very tough on the venue," replied Bernie Hogan from the Queensland Hotels Association.
"I think it's a bit of a shared responsibility.
"People who want to come into venues right across Queensland, they've got to play their part."
Mr Hogan said at this point it is unclear how mandatory electronic check-ins will work for people who don't own a smart device or are uncomfortable with providing details electronically.
"We've got a lot of regional and remote hotels and we want to make sure they're looked after as well.
"There's got to be another option and we're working through that this morning."

Hey, dear reader. This is not a crafting post, shock, horror! You may have caught from my Instagram feed that we have some furry friends in the house. We have the joy of some house bunnies. Genny had two for her birthday one year. And, yes, they are house trained (mostly!) and have poop-decks! (Think cat litter tray).
Daisy. Daisy is a delight although she is sometimes grumpy. She's a girl, she has the right even if she is a rabbit! She tends to blend into the rug downstairs. I think there was some kind of subliminal thing going on when I chose the rug. Daisy likes lots of hay, carrots, greens (cabbage, brussel sprouts, dandelion leaves…), wall paper, door frames, boxes and she is partial to some fresh herbs from the garden.
Daisy on the Ikea doll bed!!
Duke. He is the man, called duke as he has a 'tache. He is really, really laid back, he does a lot of 'the flops'. One minute sitting up and the next you hear a slight thud as he does the rabbit flop. He also has the same eating habits as Daisy. He is more cuddly than Daisy, although neither of them are lap bunnies. You can still sit with them and give them some cuddles and they do the bunny purr (grinding of teeth).
Company when crafting – a bit like a dog lying at your feet but here is a rabbit!
Tilly is adopted and joined us just a week or so ago (April 2018). She is a cross with a lion head rabbit and not sure what else, maybe a Rex. She is very friendly, although Daisy has some issues to work through with having another woman in the house, but they are getting there. We knew it would take some time with introducing another rabbit to the Daisy-Duke partnership (they are brother and sister), but it there is some improvement in the 'getting to know each other' stage. Duke doesn't care, he has another woman (all rabbits have been 'done'), and has been friendly towards Tilly (no more than that when we are around anyway!). We're getting used to having ears up as Duke and Daisy are lops.
There are also a couple of chickens, they live outside in their Egglu and are currently not free-loading. They have been known to wander inside to check things out.

The alarm went off at 05:30am on Monday morning and I lay in my tent not wanting to move. I could hear Laura moving around outside and getting breakfast ready and I also realised that the inside of the tent was full of condensation and that the sleeping bag was wet because of it, which was a pain in the arse as I would have to carry it all day and it wouldn't be dry by the evening.
Ignoring that issue I packed up and stuffed my face with porridge. Gareth eventually showed his face but he had to be at work by midday so needed to head off. Laura and I got on the trail at 07:30am and were aiming for lunch at Wolvercote which was a good 20 miles away so we had to crack on.
Laura: "Where is the US Open this year?"
Me: "It's always in New York."
Laura: "Are you sure it's not in Melbourne in January?"
Me: "That'd be the Australian Open."
"US Open, in the US? That can't be right?!"
As lunch approached my favourite episode of the day took place. We were asking for directions to the pub and a passing driver got out of his car and walked with us for a couple of minutes to ask what we were up to. At the end of the pathway he handed over £20 as sponsorship. This wasn't a £20 note because that's all he had in his wallet, but a £10 and two £5s, so he really wanted to give that much, which struck me as an incredible act of generosity and gave me an enormous boost that what I am doing is really worthwhile.
We didn't get underway after lunch until about 3:15pm and the day began to drag a little as Abingdon seemed to not come any closer. We passed through Oxford while the sun was still out, and saw a few pubs which I remembered visiting back when Gareth and Laura were living in the area, and chatted to a few more people at Sandford.
By the time we reached Radley it was really quite dark and my legs were beginning to hurt. Gareth and I had talked about a great quote from Jens Voigt, a cyclist who just shouts "Shut Up Legs" when the going gets tough, and I started going down that road.
The GPS had long since died so we were not sure how much further it was to Abingdon, where I was due to camp in the grounds of Abingdon Vale Cricket Club, and we spoke to some more kindly passing people (who were staring at a Kingfisher) and told it was about four miles. It was 7:30pm by now and the sun had almost set but without any choice we pushed on.
By 8:45pm it was fully dark and Laura had to get her head torch out. I tried to gee myself up by blasting out 'Jump' by Van Halen on my phone, but once we hit a small bridge and couldn't tell if we'd actually gone over the river or just an estuary off it, and started heading back the way we had come, my sense of humour began to fail badly.
Looking at the map later that night I realised that this was the right way to go, but at the time I had a bit of a meltdown. There was another path off to the right and I could see street lights so decided to take that route. It was too dark now to keep going in the same direction, we were often stumbling; our legs and feet were in considerable pain (SHUT UP LEGS!) and I figured at least in some proper light we would find our way.
We bumped into some kids on bikes who gave us directions and I called the groundsman at the Cricket Club and asked if he could come and let us in. He did more than that, he came down and opened the club and had tea waiting for us when we arrived at 9:30pm and found towels and extra blankets for me. A huge thank you to Dave for that.
Laura had gone white as a sheet, but she recovered a little after some food. G-Man came to collect her at around 11:30pm and looked pretty worried about me and said as much – admitting that while he'd been able to manage at work he would never have been able to spend another 14 hours on his feet after what we'd done on day one. My feet were a mess and, unpleasant as this is to tell, the chafe had kicked in badly and the pants I'd worn looked like they had taken a shotgun blast.
This hole was not created by flatulence. I wish it was.
I was supposed to be camping wild in Pangbourne the following night but honestly did not think I could face that. Day three was always a concern as I'd not gone beyond two days in training and had now done 67 miles in that time. I looked up a few B&Bs and swore to come back to that in the morning. My sleeping bag was still damp and I spent the night with my temperature going up and down uncontrollably. I hoped that this was just my body showing the effects of exertion and not that I was getting ill.

On the path to improving your credit scores, becoming authorized users is a good idea, but piggybacking should be the final step in the process — not the only step.
Based on your current credit scores, Chad, you and your wife both appear to be suffering from poor credit histories. That means you need to look over your credit reports for negative items that are lowering your FICO scores. While some of those damaging items possibly could be the result of errors, the fact that your scores are so low mean the blame likely lies with you and your wife.
Experts say such self-evaluation is the most effective way to strengthen your credit. "In order to improve credit scores as quickly as possible, the person needs to address the things that are most affecting them personally," says Rod Griffin, director of public education with credit bureau Experian.
Bill payments. Making on-time payments to your credit card issuer and other lenders is key to a solid score. Need proof? In 2009, FICO said one 30-day late payment can lower a FICO score of 680 by up to 80 points.
Debt levels. Aim to keep card balances and other debt levels as low as possible, ideally paying off your loans entirely, since a maxed out credit card could trim that 680 FICO score by up to 30 points.
Account changes. Opening and closing card accounts can also tweak your credit score. For one, FICO doesn't look kindly at someone who applies for too much credit in too short a period, though there's no concrete answer to how much is too much. On the flip side, closing too many accounts can also hurt, leaving you with too much debt compared to your available credit — called the utilization ratio.
The experts recommend focusing on those areas. "Reducing your existing debts, catching up on late payments and then making all of your payments on time are the keys to rebuilding and then maintaining strong credit scores," says Griffin.
Of course, you and your wife may not be the only ones who've made mistakes. That's why you need to address damaging errors — perhaps made by your banks or the credit bureaus — that could show up on your credit reports. (If you spot such errors, get them removed by contacting the information provider and the credit bureau, as outlined in a previous column, "Decade-old credit mistakes shouldn't appear on your report.") If you can find out which bureau report and score your lender uses, you can focus your initial efforts on correcting that credit history, rather than trying to change all three reports at once.
Your parents, meanwhile, may already have their own lengthy credit histories. If they aren't responsible cardholders, piggybacking on their accounts won't help — and could even hurt you. "If you've been added to a card that has been paid late, shows higher utilization than your own cards or has not been open long, your scores may drop after being added as an authorized user," says Barry Paperno, consumer operations manager at myFICO.com.
However, assuming your parents do have favorable borrowing records, you can have them list you as authorized users on their credit card accounts to extend your credit history. While adding a family member to a card account is legal and can help your relative's FICO scores, so-called "pay to piggyback" credit repair schemes — in which you pay to be added on a stranger's credit card account — aren't recognized by the newest FICO scoring model. Additionally, such credit repair schemes cost you money that could be better spent paying down your existing debt.
Luckily, though, since you've got relatives who can help, you don't need to consider paying to piggyback. If your parents are prepared to add you as authorized users on their cards, just make sure their banks will report those authorized accounts to the major credit bureaus. Otherwise, you won't see any scoring benefit.
Once you've done everything you need to accomplish your goal, be patient, since it may still take a while for you and your wife's credit scores to catch up. As with home construction, it's necessary to create a solid foundation before your credit scores can be built upward.
Considering co-signing for your son or daughter's credit card? Know that if you do, you'll bear as much legal responsibility for paying that debt off as he or she will.
