Step by step, I am making myself into whom I wish to be.
Just yesterday I got word that I was chosen for a position as a Blog Editor at Literary Mama- an online literary magazine for the maternally inclined.
This didn't just happen because of my good looks. No, I had to apply, send along a resume and a letter stating why I was a worthy blogger. And then I had to wait- as with all things that have to do with writing.
While I waited, I perused my resume. This thrown together thing that somehow on paper was meant to convey to a distant person who exactly I am. (Ever the question for me- check out The Artist's Words tomorrow for another post on who I am.) But something occurred to me as I read through my extensive blogging credits, and much much shorter writing credits--
I am a blogger. I blog. I blog a lot. I have blogged about my life for six years, in various formats. I am striving to be a writer, a published writer, and writer with writing credits. But as I look back over the years, over all the blogs, I see I am a writer already. I always have been.
Thankfully, I did not have to wait long. I had a phone interview with the Ed-In-Chief Caroline, and five days later, along with one other talented woman, got the job.
Now, I say job, but you should know that Literary Mama is an organization made up of creative and crafty writer-mothers who all give their time and skill to the magazine out of pure Love of Literature. No money doth change hands. Yet, I am prepared to take on my new blogging responsibilities with a creative heart and a wage-earner's passion.
I have read the essays and fiction and columns of Literary Mama on and off for the past year or so, and I highly recommend it. I can say that with honesty, because I have yet to post my first post. Who knows what direction the thing will take with me on board. But this I can say with certainty... I am a blogger. I am a writer. I am a Literary Mama.

T I T L E: San Francisco and the Bay Bridge by Lisa Elley.
I N S P I R E D* B Y: The streets of San Francisco are so diverse and fascinating. Here's a stunning photo I took at a cross street when we were driving around one day. In irresistable sweeping view of the Bay Bridge, looking across the San Francisco Bay towards Oakland. I love the way the grungy urban scene opens up to the cool and wistful waters of the bay.

All my paintings are oil on canvas, using mainly palette & painting knives, with thick application, bold strokes, painterly detail and rich colors.
The palette knife gives my art a unique combination of contrast, fluidity, depth, texture and impact. I do not typically use a brush, as I prefer the way I can mix buttery paints and smear them on my canvas with a flexible metal blade. The amazing thick texture achieved with the knife reflects the light more than a regular brush painting and gives a beautiful sense of movement, with subtle highlights.
I am originally from New Zealand, where the beauty of nature is unsurpassed. The luminescent beauty of our amazing world inspires me, and I feel it in every stroke. I try to reflect this in my work and invite you to enjoy it as I do.
My Artist's Statement:
Lisa is an award winning, modern palette knife artist with an unmistakable style, and colorful liveliness in her distinctive paintings. Given the name "The Knife Queen" by one of her many facebook fans, Lisa maneuvers her artistic knife with an uncanny fluidity. She creates vibrant landscapes, cityscapes, and portraits, hanging internationally in collectors' homes across the USA, England, Ireland, UAE, Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands. It takes a very talented and accomplished artist to use a painting or palette knife. This technique is unique, as the paint is applied very thickly, adding subtle highlights with a beautiful sense of light and movement. Combined with this, is Lisa's outstanding ability to capture with her knife the incredible detail and personal elements that will resonate with your subconscious, and transport you into her colorful world of visual transcendence.
Hello and Welcome! I am a full time artist, and paint every day in my studio in the gorgeous San Francisco Bay, trying to harness some of the spectacular beauty to be found in California and let it loose it across my canvas! Here in my Vango shop you will find a wide variety of my palette knife paintings. My store includes my current portfolio; small paintings which are often studies for bigger pieces, as well as huge paintings. Something for every budget! I like selling on Vango, because I love art and people, and I hope that you will have a great experience here from start to finish, as well as liking your artwork investment! Thanks for stopping by!

text: Anyone know if gtk#-1.9.2 is going to make it into universe? The version in Hoary does not match the libglade/gtk+-2.6 libs and messes up toolbar buttons, as in, there aren't any. The problem is a mismatch between the version of gtk+ api glade is generating and the version that gtk-sharp 1.0 binds. Newer [lib]glades use Gtk.Toolbar and Gtk.ToolbarItem. Gtk.Toolbar exists in gtk-sharp 1.0, but Gtk.ToolbarItem does not, as Gtk.ToolbarItem is a gtk+ 2.4 class. Older versions of glade, which used the gtk+ 2.2 api for adding items worked with gtk# and this new version of glade and gtk-sharp-2.0 (SVN HEAD and the gtk-sharp-1.9.x release series) work fine.

We loved the Conquest
Carnival Conquest Cruise Review to Caribbean - Western
Sail Date: October 27, 2013
Ship: Carnival Conquest
Cabin Type: Balcony
Cabin Number: 7401
Traveled As: Couple
Reviewed: 4 years ago
Review Summary
We had an excellent time aboard the Conquest. The Matridee was great making sure we had everything we needed and leaving us cute little towel animals every night. Customer service were very friendly and helpful when we needed them. Even when one of our excursions got cancelled due to weather we went with the suggestion of custome srvice and were very pleased with what we got. We attened the Hasbro game show which was fun, learned how to do the thriller dance, and just spent alot of time relaxing. The only thing that seemed a little lacking was the activities on the Lido deck. The photos we purched from fomal night were amazing and the photographers were very nice putting us in poses that were attractive for the pictures. Overall the Conquest is a wonderul ship. I had preiviously sailed on the Triumph and said I would never do it again because the trip was terrible. But im glad I changed my mind because the Cnquest deffinatly mae me want to go again!

If you are craving a Chinese / Japanese style menu without risking accidentally injesting meat / fish in sauces, then this place is definitely for you.
As a former Dim-Sum enthusiast, I was extremely surprised as how meaty AND flavor-accurate the vegetarian dumplings where. Served with a black bean sauce, it took me all the way back to those lazy Sunday mornings at Tong Por on de La Gauchetiere.
I was then served the mushroom laden Hot and Sour soup. I prefered their version better than any of the ones I had in my omnivorous days.
I then had from the table d'hote the Veggie Chicken in Peanut Sauce served in a beautiful bento box (pictured here). The faux chicken was bang on, and the sauce, decadent. It was served with a side of short grain brown rice and mung beans. With it, tempura battered and fried seaweed and steam broccoli. The salad and gherkin pickle were a nice touch to cleanse the palate. For desert, I had the pistachio ice, served with the most delicate and ornate golden spoon with little enameled flowers on the tip.
The service was impeccable and the food amazing. I recommend this place for your next vegetarian dining experience.
In the back of the restaurant, you'll find a very well stocked veggie grocery store with countless faux meat and seafood variations.

Cold Chow Mein...
Maybe it's being disconnected from the constant novelty of the internet for a few days after moving apartment, but it made me reminisce about my first trip to Hong Kong. I was about as excited as I ever get for anything, but the thought occurred: What is there to actually do in HK? I mean, there's no Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Tate Modern, Secret Palace, MOMA, Empire State Buildings or anything of a par. In fact, apart from the movies and the je ne sais quoi, what is there?
As would any sane man, I asked myself the question: What would Tom Waits do?
And St Tom in his benevolence has given us the answer: Shore Leave, a Hong Kong drizzle in Cuban heels.
I don't wear Cuban heels, but otherwise I didn't do too bad on my HK/TW to do list.
in bad need of a shave - check. No problem there.
and so I slopped at the corner on cold chow mein - Oh yes. Multiple success.
and shot billiards with a midget
until the rain stopped - Ok, I wouldn't quite call him a midget. And we didn't actually play billiards. This one is harder than you'd think.
and I bought a long sleeved shirt - Yes
with horses on the front - No
and some gum and a lighter and a knife - Yes, and yes. But no knife. Too 70s.
and a new deck of cards with girls on the back - Aha. Yes, a collection of Japanese erotica playing cards. Unfortunately they were heavily censored.
and I sat down and wrote a letter to my wife - skipped this one, as S.O. and I were sharing a room there didn't seem much point.
and I had a cold one at the Dragon - Couldn't find THE Dragon, but certainly A Dragon
with some Filipino floor show - I've seen too many of those already, thanks
and talked baseball with a lieutenant
over a Singapore sling - Not a Lt. but otherwise yes. Hurray for Singapore Slings.
and I wondered how the same moon outside
over this Chinatown fair
could look down on Illinois
and find you there - Don't know anybody in Illinois. Not very well, anyway. But close enough. I think I saw the moon. Or a moon. Something round, after several or more Singapore Slings.
Other occasions Tom has helped me out: I've never fallen in love with a Gun Street girl (again), never trusted a man in a blue trench coat, dangling from a rope of sand was enormous fun, and he helped me to fall out of windows with confetti in my hair. To date, I have also never driven a car when I'm dead. Can't wait for my forthcoming trips to Singapore, Underground, and the Red Barn.
God bless our Tom.

Nice piece, mate. I love Tom Waits but have never thought about playing the Tom Waits game. I'll have to try that next time I'm stuck somewhere.ReplyDelete
Waits is the music for lonely, deranged people. I love him.ReplyDelete
Tom Waits seems to be theme of the month. Just as I come to reply I find another reference - less subtle than Nate Flexer's game of 'insert your favourite lyrics into your novel' - in my current read: Josh Stallings' 'Beautful, Naked & Dead':ReplyDelete
"I called the cops from a payphone outside a liquor store. When they asked for my name I said it was Tom Waits, and that I lived at the corner of Heart Attack and Vine."
Lonely and deranged? Guilty as charged, only round here we call it well-adjusted.

First brought to Europe from Australia by John Gould, the notable British ornithologist and artist, the Budgerigar has become the world's favourite cage bird.
They are found wild only in Australia, where flocks running into thousands may be seen, but there are almost certainly now more domestic birds than wild ones.
Wild birds are mainly bright green with black and yellow patterns on head, nape and wing coverts. The tail is a greenish blue and there are touches of a brighter blue on the face. Intensive selective breeding has produced birds of many colours, most common being blues, yellows, greys and whites.
Gould called them Warbling Grass Parakeets but their common English name comes from the Australian Aborigines who dubbed them 'Betcherrygah', which is a rendering of their calls.
Apart from the beautiful colours which have been developed, their appeal lies in a vivacious manner and the ability to imitate sounds including the human voice (though not in the same league as the Grey Parrot or Hill Mynah).

Bank Negara is expected to maintain the overnight policy rate (OPR) for the rest of this year but a possible 25 to 50 basis points hike is anticipated for next year which could result in a "one-time lift" to the earnings of banks.
CIMB Research told this to its clients last Friday via a report, adding that every 25 basis point hike would lift banks' net profit by 1.2% due to a re-pricing gap between lending and deposit rates.
"While rate hikes could provide a one-time lift to earnings, continuous pressure on margins from rate competition remains a concern," it said.
It is keeping a "neutral" call on the banking sector for now.
It added that rate hikes, which mean a rise in cost of funds, would drag down the industry's loan growth though the impact should not be significant due to the small magnitude of increase.
A rate hike could reduce 2014's loan growth by 40 to 80 basis points from 10% to 11% to about 9% to 10.5%.
Bank Negara has maintained the OPR at 3% in its recent meeting. The central bank has kept the OPR at 3% since May 2011. Its next monetary policy meeting is scheduled for Sept 5.
Maybank Investment Bank also expects the OPR to stay at 3% for the year.
It maintains its 2013 inflation rate forecast at 1.8% .
"Assuming the resumption of the Subsidy Rationalisation Programme in 2014, we are pricing in a 2-2.5% inflation rate with 3%-3.25% OPR for 2014," said Maybank Investment.
In its statement last month, the central bank said private consumption remained steady, underpinned by income growth and stable labour market conditions.
"Capital spending in domestic-oriented industries and the ongoing implementation of infrastructure projects would also support investment activity," it said.
Inflation, meanwhile, remained low at 1.6% in the first five months of the year, it added.

Strange how a song can still affect you after not having listened to it for a while. Crazy stuff. If you don't recognize the song, it's fine. I didn't remember it when it popped up today.
I feel like I'm moving forward, but I'm going nowhere.
I'm still here. Still in the same house, still on the same laptop, same couch, looking the same (pretty much), and honestly feeling the same as I used to.
Yeah, I'm not as un-social or whatever but I've not really accomplished much, and if I have, it means little to nothing to the world out there.
I'm not sure where I'm going with that thought. I'll drop it for now. Gonna go work on more html coding.
I guess I just need a change of pace or have things that I really want to happen actually happen…probably partly my fault anyway, but still.
I think it's time for a drive.

Discussion in 'Homesteading Questions' started by seedspreader, Jan 1, 2007.
Guess they will just have to switch some of the active ingredients then to take care of this and I am sure the different chemical companies are working on just that right now. No big deal it will be addressed with changing the formula. That is what chemical engineers are all about making up different formulas to do different things.
I think I had some of that giant ragweed appear HERE last summer!!! It came up behind my house and I swear it grew a foot a day!!! I have never seen it here (in Terrebonne) before and I battled it all summer. The neighbors have a big patch behind my wood shed that they haven't taken care of and I think the seed kept blowing over here
BAWK... no big deal, polly wanna cracker... bawk.
AK is right on this one. zeal, do you think the sky is going to fall? whats the big deal?
If you aren't dependent on Roundup, it's still just plain old ragweed :shrug:
Ever studied on antibiotics and their indiscriminate use?
We ARE not talking about ""indiscriminate use"" of these pesticides that is WHY Read The Directions, and use accordingly. Gee Apples and Oranges comparing antibiotics GESH..............
ROFL :help:
How is it apples to oranges? Both are genetic responses to things that inhibit their growth.
Pesticide Resistance... well heck, we are talking about herbicide resistance here. It's same-same.
So the next corn that gets manufactured... now has a glyphosate resistant gene manufactured in it... and whatever the new fangled chemical we whip up to kill of the glyphosate resistant, we will have to find some genetic material that is resistant to that ALSO... then we after there are more weeds that develop that are resistant to both...
and so on and so on... until the weeds are resistant to everything we have available. And our corn and grains will have so much extra DNA material that wasn't originally there, that we won't know how it will all interact.
Natures way.A resistant strain is sure to survive.
So much for better living thru chemicals,eh?
Now THAT was funny,LOL!
BooBoo :gromit:
It's a real problem. Of course.
What goes wrong i that everything is coming out glysophate-resistant these days, and some are tempted to spray glysophate year after year. I beleive 7 or 8 'weeds' are showing resistance - I'm sure the link mesntions them all, I didn't visit there yet.
So much for the cheap $5 weed treatment any more.
It is not a 'sky is falling' issue tho either. We survived before roundup-ready crops, and will survive this way too. Just the price of doing business changes.
One needs to mix in an old style chemical with the glysophate. Or, rotate your chemicals completely from one year to the next.
Some farmers are suggesting that it doesn't pay for them to do the gmo crop any more, if they have to add other chemical sprays - might as well leave out the gmo cost & the glysophate completely then.
The ginant ragweed is just regular old grw that has been sprayed with glysophate a lot. Some few seeds turn out to be naturally resistant to glysophate, & they each produce a few million seeds, which are also resistant..... And so, this regular grw is resistant to glysophate now. It's not really any type of mutaint. It was selected from the natural plants out there.
24D, dicomba, or any of the regular broadleaf sprays will kill it off.
So in that respect, it's not really a big deal. Changes farming again for those who were using gmo, but only slightly. It is normal to change practices every 10 years or so, has been that wayin farming forever....
I haven't found too many weeds that are resistant to boiling salt water, which is what I use due to chickens and chirruns roamin' about...it even kills knapweed!
it would be a little difficult to use boiling water on a 160 acre field, and then only hit the targeted weeds, and not the crop,
I tend to agree with Zeal on this. It is not as simple as some suggest, that a simple chemical tweaking every so often will correct it.
While round-up resistant weeds may not be the end of the world in and of themselves, what this is demonstrating is that genetic modification "jumps the fence" and impacts other plant species with unintended consequences. Monsanto and the rest of the chemical companies constantly assure us that these are all tested and safe, but their real world application is not the same as laboratory tests.
Chemically-based agriculture has really only been around since the end of WWII, so we are at or near a point of history where the first generation of farmers who don't know anything except chemical based farming are starting to retire. Compared to the thousands of years of non-chemical agricultural history, the long term impacts of this approach (which we see as the norm) are still unknown.
If one looks at this as a companion issue to the approval of cloned meat for sale, this concept of supremacy of technology over nature is a worrisome trend.
"While round-up resistant weeds may not be the end of the world in and of themselves, what this is demonstrating is that genetic modification "jumps the fence" and impacts other plant species with unintended consequences."
They were using Roundup BEFORE there were GM beans and corn, so resistance was already building in weeds. Its a natural process and has NOTHING to do with genetic engineering of crops. Its about herbicides and resistant plants and NOTHING else
I acknowledge that Roundup existed before GMOs, and that there would have been a Round-up resistant strain developing as a result (I am not sure I would call it a "natural process", perhaps a natural reaction to an unnatural intervention...). However, there is no question that the development of Roundup Ready canola, for example, has greatly accelerated the proliferation of Roundup resistant species. Even though they give it the benign name of "volunteer canola", this GMO crop is becoming a weed in and of itself. You can see it in ditches, crossing into fields, or stubbornly popping up the year after it was intentionally planted and harvested.
Life is a balance. We can see this all around us in physics, chemistry and mathematics - "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". In math, what you do to one side of the equation, you do to the other. In high school, we balanced chemical equations. When we use a technology to accelerate a process or make it easier or more convenient, there is always a price to pay, a down side. There is no free lunch. The difficulty is that the price is not always apparent to the naked eye, or immediately observable, so for the sake of convenience or economics, we convince ourselves that we won't be having to pay the piper.
To think that the use of GMOs, fossil fuels, cloning, and other technology "triumphs" over natural limitations, aren't going to have far-reaching consequences is myopic in my view.
Maybe having 160 acres to take care of is part of the problem?
I don't think weeds will ever build up a resistance to a good old fashioned torching...

Charles Svitak is steamed about soaring insurance premiums. He bought less liability coverage for his auto repair shop in Boca Raton because he couldn't afford the 60 percent increase insurers quoted him for full coverage when his policy came up for renewal last summer.
He concedes that insurers have been hit with catastrophic events that led to more losses. But he thinks insurers who lost money in the recent bear markets are passing the costs of their mistakes to consumers.
"The bottom line is they have the ability to turn around and jack your rates up," he said.
As markets plunge and rates rise, many policyholders are wondering if there's a link. After all, the rapid rise in investment gains during the 1990s helped insurance companies offset cost trends such as underpricing.
But industry experts point to rising claims losses and climbing litigation expenses as more significant factors behind the soaring rates.
"It's not inconsequential, but [the market] is not the primary driver," said Robert Hartwig, chief economist with the Insurance Information Institute in New York.
Aside from poor investment returns, he points to a rise in claims losses and the Sept. 11 attacks. A growth in mold claims and expenses related to insurance fraud have each contributed to a tighter property and auto insurance market in Florida.
An example of the relative impact of investment yields can be seen in the property and casualty insurance business. These personal line insurers collected $323.5 billion in net premiums last year according to the Insurance Services Office, which tracks the industry's returns.
Investment income for property and casualty insurers dropped $3.6 billion in 2001 from the previous year, as the sector suffered its first net loss. But expenses and claims losses ballooned $61.8 billion to $407.4 billion in 2001 -- an increase almost 17 times the loss from investments.

Comparing Champions roles with D&D roles
Last blog I discussed the relative purity of the roles in 4th edition D&D, and in doing so briefly mentioned the informal roles from Champions. So I thought I'd compare the meaning and use of the role concept in the two systems.
The 4th edition D&D role concept is a less concentrated form of the role concept in MMO's, where every class has a specific purpose during combat. The ideal fight would seem to involve the defenders standing in front and absorbing damage, the strikers killing monsters, the leaders healing the defenders and boosting the attacks of the strikers, and the controllers hiding in back and helping everyone out by softening up the monsters with area effect attacks and inhibiting them with status effects.
The old role concept from Champions had a different purpose. It was meant to describe the kind of characters that would be found in a typical superhero group. Since Champions is a point-based game where you can design your character anyway you like, the roles might be seen as similar to D&D classes in describing what kind of character you appear to be. But they are also like fourth edition roles in describing what general capabilities the character is supposed to have.
The Champions roles have been formalized in different ways. The list of roles my playing group used to use was Brick, Martial Artist, Energy Projector, Mentalist, and Other. Other included some recognizable but less archetypes such as Gadgeteer and Speedster, as well as weird characters who defied description. Actually, I was never completely happy with the idea that Mentalist was on the list, since in the comic books this was not nearly as common a role as the other major roles (except among mutant superhero teams). But since Champions devoted a fair amount of attention to defining mental powers, and Mentalists are stupendously useful, it was sort of a tradition that the classic Champions group would have a Mentalist. Anyway, that is beside the main point of this article.
One difference is that Champions roles were totally informal. In effect, they were essentially stereotypes that characters tended to fall into; there was no particular need for characters to fit their role. Characters who fit the roles exactly, and characters who completely defied the expectations of the standard roles, were both equally valid types of characters and were equally encouraged. On the one hand, you had articles extolling the virtues of the "well balanced" super team. And on the other hand, you had people extolling the virtues of thinking outside the box when making your character. But regardless which you preferred, there was a general sense of what the completely classic version of each character role would look like.
Here is my description of the classic Champions character types. The Brick was super strong and super tough, but somewhat slow and not too smart. The Martial Artist was extremely skillful both in and out of combat, but couldn't take much punishment. The Energy Projector had a versatile array of ranged powers. The Mentalist wasn't too tough, but had a versatile array of mental powers. And who knows what the Other did, so we will ignore them.
The obvious approach would be to directly equate these Champions roles to similar looking D&D roles. So the brick is a defender, the martial artist is a melee striker, the energy projector is a ranged striker, and the mental list as a controller (Champions had nothing similar to a leader). But this doesn't quite seem to fit. The brick was not only considered to be the toughest member of the team, but also the hardest hitting. This would seem to make him both a defender and a striker, which doesn't make much sense in D&D terms - what are the other classes for?
For one thing, the brick may have been the toughest member of the group, but that didn't account for the fact that the brick was easy to hit. After all, champions doesn't have the D&D peculiarity of merging armor and agility into the same value. The incredible agility of the martial artist meant that, potentially, he could be just as good or better defensively than the brick. But the 2 kinds of defenses had very different feels to them. The brick had the advantage of much more reliable staying power. If the martial artist was attacked in a way that he wasn't prepared to defend against, he could quickly get slaughtered, while the brick was just going to take a lot of punishment to put down whatever you did. And the brick could afford to intercept attacks against others, or run into dangerous zones of damage, or otherwise use his defenses in a more flexible fashion. But on the other hand, if the enemy had some sort of "control" power, it was quite possible that the easy-to-hit brick would be neutralized, while the martial artist would dodge the attack with ease.
And while the brick had the biggest single attack, his slow speed meant that he didn't necessarily have the best total damage output. And if he was being blinded or knocked around, he might miss a lot of attacks and even have a somewhat low damage output. But he could hurt guys who were too tough for the others to hurt. And when it came time to perform a group combination attack, it often ended up with a gigantic haymaker from the brick.
So in theory, the brick and the martial artist would have comparable total offense and defense but in very different ways. The energy projector would have somewhat less defense but the advantage of range. Also, the energy projector had a more versatile selection of powers, the ability to do things other than just blast the enemy. But the mentalist was the real master doing things differently, with the ability to ignore normal defenses completely and attack in ways that the villains may not be capable of dealing with.
In practice, though, it should be said that the brick very often was just flat out more powerful than the martial artist and energy projector. Bricks were often more powerful than energy projector is because, in Champions, they are more point efficient. And in games modeling the comic books, martial artists were often less powerful than bricks because they the party experts at noncombat skills, rather than masters of raw combat power. Similar to the thief in first edition D&D. Of course, fourth edition D&D made a conscious decision to delete the concept of a character whose special role is being good in noncombat.
Overall, it seems that the Champions role describes the combat style of the character rather than an MMO-style role. Although each role has certain expectations, they are more subtle than being a "DPS" or a "tank". The Champions roles are perhaps more primitive, less useful for building a game where every character has a very clear role within the party. But on the other hand, I think they are more intuitive. The idea that a D&D paladin is an expert at forcing enemies to attack him is sort of a funny "game think" idea. The more natural idea to someone not familiar with the MMO role concept is that a paladin is a brave, heavily armored guy with a little bit of healing power. This would be more equivalent to the Champions role concept.

A quick note about Energy Projectors. Multipower and Elemental Control EPs often had a "golf bag" approach that was much more controllery, featuring area effect attacks and control powers like Flash. Or perhaps they sit somewhere on the boundary.ReplyDelete
You are quite right, they did have a lot of controller-like powers. The reason I didn't describe them as such is that, from another viewpoint, they aren't as much similar to controllers, as they are similar to 4th edition D&D characters in general. Almost every 4th edition class, regardless of role, has access to a wide variety of "control" powers. One of the nice things about 4th edition is that the characters are much more versatile, like Energy Projectors. Bricks and martial artists, on the other hand, are traditionally not as versatile (though still better off than 1st edition D&D fighters).ReplyDelete
But now that you mention it, some of those alternate control powers (like Flash) were quite devastating. And mentalists, for their part, were infamous for insanely powerful ego attacks. So maybe it would be best to say that both types of characters lay somewhere on the striker-controller continuum.
I should also mention that control effects are hard to balance, and 4th edition D&D has cleverly dealt with the problem by limiting the number of times they can be used per encounter, greatly reducing the duratin of control powers, and then compensating by adding damage to the control powers. Champions had none of these checks and balances; control powers tended to be ineffective or devastating. So an energy projector could potentially be much more of a controller than any 4th edition character.ReplyDelete
Well, maybe not worse than a high level orb wizard who stuns you with no save possible for the entire fight. But I'm talking about non-broken 4th edition characters.ReplyDelete

It happened again.
I attended a gathering last night and met a good friend who complained to me,
" I smiled at you just now but you did not respond, I thought you've already forgotten who I am"
I apologized to her and continued with my usual explanation about my eyesight.
You see, my optometrist said I belong to the 10% of the population with similar eyesight condition. I discovered this a few years back. I suffered some prolonged headache, and decided to check my eyesight after running out of possible options in finding the remedy. I never quite noticed that I have eyesight problem.
When my optometrist became silent and kept repeating the procedure of checking my eyes, I became curious. Why did he kept on repeating it, and not saying a word to me?
Then I remembered that he had that look on his face (which I can't find a word to describe it right now) and announced,
" You are far sighted on the right eye and near sighted on the left eye"
" Wow.. is that possible? "
" Yup... about 10% have this condition"
That's why I failed to notice it before, because one of my eyes will always remain clear whether looking at an object nearby or in a distance. But the blurry vision of the other eye disturb the focus point, hence the headache comes. Only when I put on that ugly test spectacles that optometrist usually give you in the clinic, then I realized how clear the world should be with a good eyesight!
I was near sighted (on both eyes) and used to wear eyeglasses during my student days, but I simply abandon it after I graduated. I admit I don't like wearing one and since my condition was not that severe, I survived.
But after many years, the condition changed and turned to as it is now.
What is the problem then? I have a problem in getting good eyeglasses. The few attempts that I had, ended up in frustration. And I am not just referring to the cost. The lenses are not comfortable at all. I failed to adapt to the opposite lenses on both eyes, and multifocal lenses are even worse, so I only wear it once in a while when I really need it.
And usually after I explained my condition to others when they were offended because I did not return the smile they gave me, they will ask,
"Why don't your wear your eyeglasses then?"
To lighten up the situation my usual answer would be,
" I don't look good wearing it lah..I look like a teacher,." and they would laugh at me. Yes, besides the eyesight problem, I also have a psychological problem of self denial, a teacher who doesn't like the look of a teacher.. no cure for that, I guess.
So, before you accuse me of being arrogant for not responding to your friendly gesture, have some pity on me please... I just don't clearly see your face, so just come nearer and there you are.. I might have forgotten names sometimes, but I am a visual person, I don't forget faces easily.
However, if you are caught in a situation that you most likely prefer not being seen by me, don't worry, if you are far enough, I won't recognize you. How far is it? That's for me to know, and for you to wonder...

mdm, u can try using eyewear which is available at watsons..
it is for near and far sighted..
no glasses, just holed spectacle.
made from plastic, but it'll look weird of course because it is black in color. also, it helps to improve our sight. hope that helps..

madam,,,it's okay if you cant see people well,,,,the most important thing is to see them with your sincerity of course...they may not see that...but Allah knows..Allah knows what's the best for us,madam...

The grown-ups in the house liked this recipe. The kids in the house thought the stuffing was "strange". I don't know yet whether the recipe wants to become part of our regular menu or not.
The original recipe came from Pillsbury Slow Cooker Recipes, which came home with us from the library. I modified it in a vain attempt to better customize it to my family's taste. I also increased the amounts from the original.
Pork Chops with Fruit Stuffing
- 1 1/2 cup diced dried apples
- 2 cups chicken broth OR 1 1/2 cup no salt added chicken broth plus 1/2 cup water
- !/2 to 1 cup apple juice
- 6 Tbs butter
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 (6 oz) pkg low-sodium stuffing mix
- 6 pork chops
- vegetable oil and butter for frying
- Mrs Dash
- In large pot (my biggest saucepan wasn't quite big enough), combine diced dried apples, 1/2 cup apple juice, chicken broth, butter, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and stir in stuffing mix. Remove from heat. (Add a tiny bit more apple juice if needed to moisten.)
- Heat a little vegetable oil and a pat of butter in large skillet. When hot and bubbly, but before the butter browns, add pork chops. Fry on high heat for a minute or two on each side, just enough to brown them. Season with Mrs. Dash.
- Pour 1/4 cup apple juice in slow cooker. (Just enough to cover the bottom). Place pork chops in slow cooker. Top with stuffing.
- Cover and cook on low 5 to 6 hours.
- To serve, transfer stuffing to a serving bowl and fluff with a fork.
- Good with sweet potato fries or baked sweet potatoes as a side dish!
Cookie Dough Ice Cream
In our house, we make our own ice cream. We make one or two gallons a week. (And when I say "we", I really mean the Jedi does it all.) It's not that much more expensive than store bought. It's certainly more delicious, and we get to experiment with all sorts of flavors!
This came from Toa of Boy's request for chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I picked up refrigerated cookie dough from the store, thinking that refrigerated cookie dough had been pasteurized and was safe to consume raw. I was wrong. The Jedi noticed all sorts of "do not consume unbaked" warning labels on it. Luckily, I found a great substitute recipe on Allrecipes. (This doesn't include the directions or the ingredients for the ice cream itself, just the mix in!)
I changed nothing from the recipe except to double it for my ice cream loving family. The amounts below are for the family-sized batch!
- 1 cup flour
- 5 Tbs brown sugar
- 3 Tbs white sugar
- 4 Tbs softened butter
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 Tbs water
- mini-chocolate chips
- Cream butter with sugars until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla and water.
- Mix in flour until well blended.
- Stir in mini-chocolate chips. Yeah, I didn't measure. I just poured and stirred until it looked right. You have to use the mini-chips though, because the regular sized chips get way too hard in the ice cream.
- Turn out onto parchment paper and shape into a rough log.
- Freeze for 1 to 2 hours then cut into chunks to stir into the ice cream. (We also at that time added extra mini-chocolate chips to the mix-in process.)

Just a few fashion tips if you're feeling like looking authentic chinese
either black and straight with a wonky fringe (tres cool) or a ridiculous colour like off orange
no mascara at all or eyeliner. i saw one boy in eyeliner - but i think he was just a bit cookoo.. NO MASCARA AT ALL
erm i saw advert for 'maybellene STAY WHITE UV FOUNDATION' -> aka... the oposite to every girl in bucks. very essential that you stay white as this means you are higher 'caste' (perhaps not the right word at all) in order for marriage
mini heels... the kind english people never wear 'kitten heels' i think is their official term
lower half
tights to make your legs look pale are often appropriate or those catching on to the western trend are going for brown ones!! scandallloso
top half
wear a t-shirt that says something ridiculous in english but that you probably don't understand
real life examples include
"i want love hnd peace" - a nice spelling mistake slashed across your chest
"memory flask" - the less sense they make the better
"i am in my prime" - best worn on the very young teenage girl i saw today... peados paradise
