I recently saw the video from Maximilian on New Players in the Fighting Game Community (FGC) and wanted to share some thoughts on the video. Although it was pretty wordy, I think what Maximilian expressed was pretty fresh and totally understandable.
To give you a summary of what he talked about on the video, He responded to a pretty trollish message he received on XBL about what he does in the FGC. It basically stated that Maximilian is making a bad name for the FGC (hence the title of video) and that he is sort of producing "scrubs" like some type of factory based on what he does in the FGC. In addition to that, he is not being "harsh" enough when giving tips through what he does to give the people he brings into the community "the realities of fighting games".
[youtube url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYBHh6BdHEM&feature=player_embedded#!" width="530″ height="530″ hd="1″]
Maximilian didn't respond to that message directly with the recipient, but talked about the overall discussion through his mass communication channel instead. He wanted to address the mentality of the FGC from it's roots, how he is taking a different approach today without trying to change that history or culture and how he is simply trying to alter how people get into fighting games. Why? Because in his opinion, it's hard for new people who were not exposed to the roots of the FGC to actually get into fighting games. He expresses new players don't exactly understand that mentality and he is trying to basically offer a substitute to how players get into a scene when the previous (i.e.: arcade scene) is not there. How does he do that? Through addressing the people who are having issues, having problems and try to make it easier on them. Through that process, players will actually care about the game.
Obviously Maximilian is doing something right by his own goals. He is pulling new people into the community through his content. The resource he offers is helping people make that transition or at least keeping them sticky to the fighting games. Something that's not easily done nor something that all people easily accept judging by the concern Maximilian has in this video. But, you can't please everyone.
Looking at the comment at hand. Maximilian attaches the message to the old ways of the FGC in his video. Something that I think was pretty dead on the reasoning why this anonymous player decided to plague Maximilian with his own personal opinion. The roots were not kind to new players. You had to work for everything you got. Getting that knowledge was through trials by fire, not from some Youtube video where it was spoon-fed to you by someone else. In result, you are actually not helping the community, but hurting it by teaching these grasshoppers that you don't need to work the same way these old-school players did, but take an entirely different–yet easy–path to victory. Thus, you're just producing scrubs, new players who are not equip with the knowledge of the old ways to survive in the community and will dramatically change the face of the community into something that I can only assume is bad.
So, what are my thoughts? Well, I understand both sides of the coin. However, if I had to pick a side, then I would side more on what Maximilian expressed. What was relevant then, was relevant then. What is relevant now, is relevant now. Communities change all the time and this is just one way the community surrounding fighting games is changing. Information is easily accessible on the game. It wasn't back then, but that was then. We are in the now, and pretty much everyone competitive or not is accessing that information either through what Maximilian is doing or through other sources. I would almost bet my life that the anonymous guy on XBL who sent this message has also accessed that information too.
Let's face it, the arcade scene is all but dead. The attitude is not as dead though. I don't think Maximilian is arguing or trying to change everything that makes that attitude relevant today. He is simply trying to express that new players might not relate to that attitude when jumping into the scene, especially the part that addresses how you access that information to become a better player. Overall, you can't simply be good from watching YouTube videos or being babied into the scene. Execution is still a big part of what you consume from either being apart of the older scene or being apart of the newer scene. Otherwise, I would have won EVO a long time ago because I watch a shit load of good players doing great things all the time, YouTube or Arcade.
To end, new players still have to go through the same trials by fire as everyone else. Maximilian is just helping get to that starting point. From there, they are on their own to be slaughtered by the wolves. It won't be pretty, but new fish is a really good thing for the community. If there was not a constant stream of new fish, then eventually the ocean will die. Someone has to help spawn the upcoming EVO champions of the world, why not this guy? What is so bad about that? Players are content and that content is what is going to keep fighting games relevant to now. If you think otherwise, then you need to check yourself.

It's a commonly asked question. Maybe it occurs to you as you're celebrating a significant milestone in life or in your career. Or perhaps it hits home when a survey asks your age and you find yourself ticking the next box down. Suddenly, you realize you're in your 40s, and perhaps you don't have the savings you'd like to have by this point in your life. Now, it's time to take action and to figure out how to save money for retirement The key is to focus your efforts in three key areas: building a plan, repaying debt and maximizing savings. By tackling these areas, you can start making steady progress towards your goals, one manageable step at a time.
How to Save Money for Retirement
Imagine you're about to set off on a family trip to somewhere you've never been. You bundle everyone into the car, rev up the engine and head for the open road. But you don't have a map and you haven't packed anything at all: no food, no clothes, no money. You'll likely be fine for the first few hours – but what then? Few would choose this kind of family adventure – yet, surprisingly, many people travel through life without a financial map or financial "supplies" like short-term and long-term savings to help them buy what they need along the way, and an emergency fund and insurance to protect them from the unexpected. In short, they haven't created and implemented a financial plan. A financial plan identifies specific goals and the strategies to meet them. It's a clearly marked path leading from where you are now to where you want to be. And it can help to answer the questions that keep many of us up at night:
What can I afford today?
When can I retire?
Will I run out of money?
Working with an advisor like me, you can build a written plan that works for you. Challenges may come along – an illness, a job loss, a divorce – but with a financial plan you'll be in a better position to leap the hurdle and get back on course.Take charge of saving in your 4Os.
The ratio of household debt to disposable income in Canada reached a record 163.3 per cent in the last three months of 2014 – up from 66 per cent in 1980.2 A significant amount of this is mortgage debt – a recent survey found that Canadian homeowners with a mortgage are carrying an average outstanding balance of $190,000.3 A plan to repay debt is an essential component of your financial plan. Setting a schedule can help you eliminate all debt by the time you retire. That's important because in retirement, on a fixed income, it can be more difficult to manage the extra expense of interest and of paying down debt. There's also the risk that interest rates may rise in the future, adding to the cost of carrying debt.
To start tackling your debt, consider:
■ Working with your advisor to integrate debt management into your personalized financial plan
■ Consolidating loans into one account with a lower interest rate to reduce the cost of debt
■ Putting a specific monthly amount towards debt to make repayment a habit
■ Reducing unnecessary expenses and paying with cash to avoid adding to debt
■ If you have multiple debts, paying down those with the highest interest rate first Need extra motivation? As soon as you're debt free and don't have to make any more principal or interest payments, you will have more money available to add to your savings.
The financial planning industry often emphasizes the importance of starting to save when you're young. Does that mean that at 40-something you should give up on saving for retirement? Of course not! In your 40s, you may have to work harder at building your savings but you still have time on your side. Start by crunching the numbers with your advisor. How to save money on retirement will start to get easy once you answer questions such as these:
■ How much have you saved so far?
■ How much income do you expect to receive in retirement from government and workplace pension plans?
■ How much income do you need to sustain your lifestyle throughout retirement?
Next, to help make saving a priority, set specific saving goals – as much as you can afford – and check in every year to see the progress you've made and to fine-tune your plan if necessary. It's also critical to maintain a long-term perspective, since you may have 20 years or more of saving and investing ahead of you before you retire.
To help with that, here's a refresher on some timeless principles of investing.
1. Always diversify
This year's top performer isn't likely to be next year's. One of the most effective ways to reduce investment risk is to diversify – across asset classes (e.g., stocks and bonds), geographic regions (e.g., Canadian and international investments), and product solutions (e.g., mutual funds and guaranteed investments). Your advisor can help you select the strategy appropriate to your tolerance for risk.
2. Be rational, not emotional
In good times, investors are excited; they may want to invest more and often "buy high." When markets turn negative, investors sometimes become fearful and decide to cut their losses; they "sell low." Stay disciplined and committed to your long-term investment plan to avoid riding the emotional rollercoaster.
3. Stay invested
Jumping in and out of the market increases the chance that you will miss the days when investments perform best. By staying fully invested, you can help ensure that you capture those best days, which can add significantly to your long-term returns.
4. Focus on the long term
Markets move through cycles but, if you're investing for the long term, longer-term trends are what count. Keeping that in mind, and measuring your performance over time rather than overnight, will help you stay the course through market crises and opportunities.
5. Turn market ups and downs to your advantage
Investing a fixed dollar amount every week or every month helps to keep you on track towards your saving goals. It also means that fixed dollar amount will buy more units when prices are low and fewer units when prices are high – a benefit that is often described as dollar-cost averaging.
You may not be fresh out of school and at the start of your career – but that's an advantage both in life and in investing. As you move through your peak earning years, you have a tremendous opportunity to build your savings by creating and following a financial plan designed to meet your needs and achieve your dreams. Now, it's time to get started. Meet with your advisor to discuss your personal situation. If you don't have one, I am available to sit with you and analyze your needs. Together, we can design strategies to help eliminate debt and build savings through extra contributions and appropriate investment choices. With a comprehensive financial plan in place, and updated regularly, you can have confidence that your finances are heading in the right direction to achieve your goals for the future. This is turn will help you get answers you need on how to save money for retirement, the right way.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'CycloDS' started by raid168, Oct 9, 2007.
maybe their chips are homemade?
why took so long to make a new shipment?
Well, you had to think of what they were up against when they first started.
Everyone lived and swore by the R4.
So producing a not-so-great amount of CycloDS's was a smart move.
But now that they see that it's in demand, they'll probably make alot more.
You can't sell a product you can't have, and you can't ship a product you don't have the money to pay for. It's all about Cash Flow.
I think it is all about priority & shortage and Team Cyclopsds is in wait. Time is time money is money...
I always see cyclo evo sold out every where. It because small amount of production (I think).
I heard from somewhere, you need to order 1,000 pcs to become a reseller (and don't know how long it will be ship) while other company can order at least 100 pcs or so (and ship with in 1 day when payment reach them).
I agree that CycloDS EVO is a great flashcart. TeamCyclops is the most active group which offer support (via their message board). BUT the important thing.. They have problem in PRODUCTION.
If I have a CHANCE (with low shiping cost to asia), I will get one.
I think there is a few Asian use this CycloDS, because it mostly sell in Europe and rarely ship to Asia retailer.
mass production don't need supply/demand for new comer...
PS: sorry for my english. ^^"
It's more expensive and less accessible in Asia (despite being produced in there) compared to other cards (R4/AK+ anyone?)
thats the most annoying about this flash cart, i want to buy it but it's always sold out

VIOLENT crime has dropped by almost a quarter across Clydebank and the rest of West Dunbartonshire, a report has revealed.
The figures, to go before councillors later this week, has outlined a 23.1 per cent decrease in the first quarter of this financial year 2017/18 (April to June).
The figure is based on a comparison from last year and equates to nine fewer recorded crimes.
Chief Superintendent Hazel Hendren, West Dunbartonshire's new police commander, will outline the stats at Thursday's meeting.
It is understood the reduction is partly down to a decrease in violent crimes at the more serious end of the scale.
The report reads: "Reduced crime levels are largely due to a decrease in serious assaults which have reduced from 24 down to 14 year on year.
"Detection rates have improved on last year, up from 66.7 per cent to 83.3 per cent, although this is marginally lower than the five year average figure (85.1 per cent)."
There were 14 serious assaults recorded between April and June, 10 less than the same period last year and one attempted murder, two less than last year's figure of three.
The report adds: "Police Scotland remains dedicated to reducing violence, disorder and antisocial behaviour within the local communities of West Dunbartonshire in order to 'Keep People Safe'.
"Operational police activity carried out on a daily basis continues to be driven by the objectives outlined in the local policing plan: to reduce the number of victims of violent crime, to reduce the number of reported incidents of antisocial behaviour, to impact on alcohol-related violence, antisocial behaviour and disorder with particular emphasis in and around licensed premises and to increase the number of people detected for violent and domestic crime."

Enjoy the Summer, Keep your Debit Card Info Safe
This summer you may find yourself traveling a long distance for a fun adventure, or you may be driving the kids all over town or around the state for different events, such as swimming lessons and little league baseball games. This means using your debit card more often than you usually do – for the purchase of fuel, flights, food and fun. You'll also find yourself at your local ATM more often. Even though you're busy, it's important to take a moment to manage your money and to remember some safety tips when using your card.
The following are some Consumer Reports suggestions about staying safe this summer…
- Beware when using foreign ATMs –
If you see an out-of-order sign on a legitimate ATM, beware of using a nearby ATM. Thieves may have set up a phony ATM to "skim" card data. Consumer Reports also suggests keeping your PIN code separate from your ATM or debit card. Also, when keying your PIN into an ATM or card reader, shield the keypad with your free hand. Do not allow hidden cameras or any person to be in sight of the keypad.
- Protect your card and information at gas pumps –
Consumer Reports reported "Card-skimming at gas stations is likely to increase during summer months, especially in vacation areas." To protect yourself, they suggest using cash or credit cards at the pump, if possible. Should you have to use a debit card, process it as a credit card transaction instead of using your PIN.
- Update your account weekly –
Be sure to maintain your account, so should any unauthorized transactions take place, you may report them to your bank quickly. Time is of the essence!
- What to do with receipts? –
Do not discard receipts at ATM locations or the gas pump. Keep them until you match the amounts with the transactions, wait for them to clear the bank, then shred the receipts.
- Your trash may be a treasure to a thief –
Be sure to shred bank account statements and other financial information prior to tossing them in the trash. Trash is among the top methods used by thieves to commit Identity Theft. Protect yourself – Don't let them do it to you!

As a long-time renter, I have had the opportunity to work with the Property Manager, Heather, and the Assistant Property Manager, Stacie. Both are wonderful people and very easy to work with, whether I have a concern or a compliment! There are rules but thats how they keep our property and grounds looking good. The maintenance staff is quick at fixing any problem that arises.
Honey Creek Apartments has many great activities on site for all ages: pool, underground parking, workout room, mown walking path around the property. The apartments are spacey and have home-like/condo-like feel. Theres even a Clubhouse that can be rented for personal use.
I love the fact that the mailboxes and trash system in inside the underground parking and unseen as you drive through the complex and is minutes from downtown East Troy.
The complex has begun to do more things to involve the residents pets. Mowed area where you can take your four legged family member.

My last post was pretty anti-social, so leave it to me to do a 180 and go in a whole different direction.
It's how I work, folks.
The lovely Rowena from Out of Print Writing interviewed me about my take on Google+ and how the social media platform is helping my writing career.
Truth alert: at this point not very. But that's not Google+'s fault as much as it is mine.
The Tipsy Lit Google+ account? It's pretty much driving itself at this point but only after a remarkable amount of time spent networking and devising the right plan of action. We've now got our own Google+ page and community and a promotional team leading the crap out of it. But Ericka's own personal Google+ account? It's measly by comparison. But not for long.
Sooo…this leads me to this post. I'm reinventing myself as "Ericka The Author" and will now be taking a page out of my "Ericka The Editor-In-Chief of Tipsy Lit" notebook to spearhead my "promote the crap out of the book and my writing career." That's a lot of quotations.
Since I'm starting from scratch (AGAIN), I want you to come along for the ride. First up on the docket? Google+.
How to Use Google+ for Your Writing Career
- Circles. Oh my my, circles, how I love thee. Being able to segment your audience is vital, because not only can you choose a certain portion of your circles to promote your update to, you can also EMAIL your update to them. So let's just say you have a new book coming out and you decide to create a circle called "readers." You can then email updates about the book to these readers directly without being spammy and all "Hey look, I just nabbed your email from the interwebs and here, learn everything about my new book." Because that's just gross.
- Communities. If there's one promotional tool you're going to want to know (and come to love, seriously, it's just science), it's Google+ communities. There are communities for anything and everything, including communities where you can promote your book. By doing a simple keyword search, you can easily find and join a community where you can promote whatever it is your selling (literary gold, hopefully). Just remember to keep your messages tailored to each different group you join and help promote other community members in return. Say it with me now: "Nobody likes a spammy jerk!"
- A few communities I heart:
- Events. Spreading the word about one of your upcoming events is easy as lighting a match with Google+ events. Books signings, release dates, you name it, you can make an event for it. And it's the perfect way to get your circles on board with your latest feats. Just be sure to time these out and make yourself available to answer any comments or questions a guest may leave.
- Google+ Hangouts. Now I'm sure you've come across Google Hangouts on Air and have uttered a royally big "WTF??" You're not alone. Basically, a Google Hangout is a live video chat you can use to network with other writers, "meet" fans, etc. The other day, I was part of a Google Hangout with the editors from my publishing company and it was nice to come "face-to-face." A Google Hangout on Air is pretty much a Google Hangout on steroids because it's recorded, uploaded to YouTube and can be easily searched for and found on Google+. Something to definitely put in your back pocket when your next big promotional event is just around the corner.
Basically, I just dipped my toe into the Google+ pool, but we'll be focusing more on this platform (and all those other wonderful social media platforms) soon. Subscribe to my blog by entering your email address in the box at the right so you can learn more about marketing your writing career online, and I can hang out in your inbox. Sounds cozy!
So let's get this Google+ circle jerk going! Add me to your circles, and I'll repay the favor. Also, I just set up my Facebook page and would love to see you over there as well. According to my grandmother, it's "absolutely adorable." Meh.
Psst: If you'd like me to do an interview for your blog, I wouldn't totally hate that. You can contact me here.

Patience of Non-Production Meditation: Awakening to the Buddha – Mind
By: Lin Ai Wei (Lin Zi Yi)
The Patience of Non-Production is simply the Buddha-Mind. It is the mind where that which is said to arise isn't said at all. There is no chasing of thoughts, desires and emotions, and no not chasing of thoughts, desires and emotions. That which was said to arise due to causes and conditions, does not arise due to causes and conditions, and does not not arise due to causes and conditions.
It is a state where there is the ending of patience, and there is no not ending of patience. Though patience is the means in which one endures, there is no enduring and no not enduring in the state of the Patience of Non-Production.
It is said to be a state due to the obstructions of living being's minds, yet once the obstructions are put down, this state is no longer a state, but only the true mind. In such, there is no distinction of true and false, and there is no ending of the state of the distinction of true and false.
Patience is non-discrimination. Non-Production is the non-Dual Thus-Nature. It's the realization that all things are only said to arise, yet though living beings find a function for them, it is still not the true function of that which is said to arise.
Since living beings are so deluded as to not understand what arises, they conclude that all which is experienced is just the way of the world. They fail to realize that the way of the world is simply their views.
What is said to arise? That which one attaches to; desires, thoughts, images, things like computers, t.v., radio, clothing, and all that which is of attachment to them. This is what arises, and it is simply the mind. When there is the greed for something distinguished as good or bad, the mind has arisen, and thus there is an attaching to.
It is said that mind arises, yet because of the attaching to ideas, thoughts, desires, etc, there is a mind which regards them.
Then what would be the Buddha-Mind? It is the mind which the production of thoughts has no support; which the view of mind never arises, nor the arising of the things said to be experienced. For to experience, and claim it as one's own, is to harbor the myriad views of self.
The Buddha-Mind can be attained simply through non-distinction; through patience and nothing more. Yet, as living beings trying to conceptualize the Buddha-Mind, we fall into views and attach to what we feel, thus resulting in deepening the states experienced. This way simply redirects one to fall deeper into views, and delude themselves even more.
One cannot conceptualize the Buddha-Mind, nor can they intellectualize it. It cannot be experienced, for experiences only pass. Patience is the method. Since living beings hold to their views so strongly, patience in the world is hardly sought after. Beings function greedily through out their lives. They seek for fame, money, housing, food, clothing and popularity, vanity.
With these conditions in mind, meditation would be a good foundation to begin with. If one holds impatient towards their own behavior, then they will be impatient towards every one else.
Meditation equals the cultivation of patience and once patience is actually realized, slowly one will be able to apply it in their daily lives, but it must begin from within first. Understanding the function of a goal of meditation, which is to sit through the pain of sitting in full lotus, half lotus and even ordinary cross-legged position will assist greatly.
People conclude that it is too painful, and will hurt the body later on in the years, if they were to sit in full lotus while the legs are in pain. This is surely the evidence of clinging to the body, and results in the beginner feeling discouraged. The overall goal for someone just beginning to sit in full lotus, or even half lotus, is to realize that any discomfort felt in the body is a result of past causes maturing and manifesting.
The pain should thus be in the right view of being "good". That doesn't mean the practitioner should hurt themselves purposely, but it means that they should be patient with the pain in their body during sitting in meditation, and gradually apply more effort to calming the mind.
The pain passes, but the thoughts which arise from the views held about pain influence even greater, and last a longer time than the actual pain. One should realize that their views of their own idea of self cause more problems than that which actually manifests.
Patience in sitting results in the realization of true wisdom. Wisdom of the world is simply how to not be lied to by the next person. Many people fail to see that being lied to is also past causes maturing. If they were patient enough with the conditions which arose, there would be no wars, hatred, prejudice, and the myriad worldly afflictions.
The non-production of thoughts is simply the non-attaching and the not non-attaching of views one holds, or the views of any one else. In contemplation of non-production, meaning when sitting in the mind of the non-arising of thoughts, there is no distinguishing of the Heavens above, and the Earth below. It is not the ignoring of things around one, for in this mind there is nothing which is actually around, and there is nothing which is not around; simply, the non-dual mind in which the distinguishing of mind itself does not arise.

We are helping breweries connect data in ways no other software system in the market is.
San Diego, California (PRWEB) December 01, 2016
Halo, the supply chain intelligence company, today announced the integration of its fast-growing demand forecasting software, SkuBrain, with VicinityBrew™, the leading enterprise planning system for beverage suppliers. VicinityBrew™ will extend its one-stop-shop capabilities by enabling customers to forecast demand from their historical data and management input – and use that data for production and inventory management.
"The VicinityBrew™ partnership is a key to our strategy of offering better analytical tools in easy-to-use software for beverage companies that may not have the resources of their larger global competitors," said Keith Peterson, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, Halo.

This is especially difficult in fast growth markets like craft, where new SKUs and flavors are a constant. SkuBrain uses the latest machine learning techniques to recommend the best forecast for each product and channel. It offers capabilities for mature brands as well as new product introductions."
"VicinityBrew™ has been built around leveraging technologies that are available today. This partnership with Halo and their SkuBrain forecasting product is another example of this dedication," says Randy Smith, CEO/Co-founder, Vicinity Manufacturing.

Halo also offers demand forecasting advisory services for its clients.

Free keyword tools are great for the novice who is just starting out with their first blog. It's entirely possible to use these free tools to get an edge on the competition that uses no tools at all. However, it won't help you compete with the big names. This is because these tools are limited, have very little functionality, and do nothing more than feed back results based on existing idea.

All aboard the TCMC train
When living in a river town like Red Wing, it's hard to ignore the prominence of the Mississippi River and the train that runs alongside it. These two landmarks could soon be changing.
The Twin Cities-Milwaukee-Chicago train, or Second Train, was proposed as a daily round-trip passenger train alongside the Twin Cities to Chicago route. This addition would complement the existing Amtrak Empire Builder by being built alongside it.
The project does not correlate with the Zip Rail efforts, a proposed train down the Highway 52 corridor.
During the Minnesota High-Speed Rail Commission meeting in Red Wing on Sept. 7, commissioners went over the status of the river route project and how it has gained momentum.
"We had a comment last night from an elderly couple ... this is how they want to travel in their retirement years. We did a survey of students in Winona last year and the students want to ride this," said Dan Krom, director of passenger rail office for Minnesota Department of Transportation. "It's not just a certain group that are interested, there's a wide range of people that use it."
Goodhue County commissioners discussed during their board meeting Tuesday, Sept. 5, increasing taxes to pay for a transportation funding gap from the state. This increase in taxes would not affect the TCMC Second Train. Funds would only be used for road construction programs, commissioners stressed.
The TCMC timeline outlines public involvement throughout all phases. Currently, the project is in the Phase 1 study, listing public meetings as the focus for this month, with cost estimates for October and recommended infrastructure improvements for November. Phase 1 will conclude Dec. 31.
Looking ahead, the Phase 2 study will start in 2018 with the final design and construction and operation potentially starting in 2022.
Why a second train?
Based on the 2015 feasibility report, TCMC would have an annual ridership of 155,500 passengers and bring in $6.8 million in revenue. The train is expected to run at a maximum service of 79 mph.
Four major needs for the rail were highlighted during the local meeting:
• TCMC would serve as a substitute for insufficient no-auto transportation option for communities.
• Rising population, economic growth creates more travel delays and insufficient schedule choices for intercity travelers.
• The current Empire Builder, the Amtrak service from Seattle to Chicago, is near capacity during peak travel months and travel demand is expected to rise.
Ultimately, the second train would provide the option for riders to use it at a time that is more convenient for them. The southbound Empire Builder is scheduled to depart Red Wing at 8:54 a.m. while the northbound is at 8:49 p.m.
"I think it's important to stress, you really improve the utility of your existing infrastructure, of your existing assets by providing people with additional departure options," said Derrick James, Amtrak senior manager of government affairs. "For the travel consumer, when they are making a decision on mode choice, it's which one is most convenient for them. What we have found, when you start to add multiple trains (and) schedules we start to give people the option to take the train that leaves at the time they do."
Regardless of how fast the train can go, James reinforced, what will help push this project forward is how convenient a new schedule would be.

Sports gambling began to tempt lawmakers after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalized it earlier this year. The report released Thursday from the Pew Charitable Trusts said sports book likely won't be a magic pill to cure state budget issues. It's Legal To Grow Hemp In Kansas, But It Won't Be Easy By Brian Grimmett • Jul 2, 2018 Listen Listening... / P.J. Sneed is a nurse at a hospital in Wichita, but only until the end of the June. That's when he'll quit to become a hemp farmer. "I've not grown a stitch of hemp," he said. "But I feel like I know how I could do it and have a plan to do it." He'll need more than just enthusiasm to succeed as he trades the stresses of checking patients' vital signs and administering medicine for the stresses of growing a new crop without experience or the benefits of crop insurance. Kansas Department Of Agriculture Asks Public For Help Drafting New Hemp Growing Regulations By Brian Grimmett • May 14, 2018 Industrial hemp is coming to Kansas, but first the Department of Agriculture has to figure out how to regulate it. Seg. 1: The Health Effects of Cannabis. Seg. 2: Off-Season Sports And The NFL Draft. By Steve Kraske & Luke X. Martin & Anna Yakutenko • Apr 30, 2018 Dank Depot / Flickr - CC Segment 1: What science does (and doesn't) know about medical marijuana. Missouri and Kansas are edging closer to legalizing medical marijuana under limited circumstances, but what do we really know about its health effects? While state lawmakers debate possible harms or benefits of cannabis and its derivatives, we spoke with a scientist who helped write a major study about the good, bad and unknown health effects of marijuana. Cannabis Oil Advances In Kansas Legislature As Other Medical Marijuana Proposal Dies By Stephen Koranda • Mar 26, 2018 file photo / Harvest Public Media Lawmakers in the Kansas House rejected an effort Monday to allow medical marijuana in the state. But they advanced a plan to allow the sale of some products made from cannabis — if the high-producing compounds have been removed. The discussion over legalizing cannabis for medical purposes came as lawmakers considered regular updates to the state's drug laws. Kansas Lawmakers Inch Toward Legalizing Cannabis Derivative, And Keeping Kratom Legal By Jim McLean • Mar 15, 2018 file photo / Wikimedia Commons A Kansas House committee on Thursday recommended the legalization of medicinal supplements containing cannabidiol, CBD, a marijuana extract used by some to control seizures and pain. It also moved to keep an herbal stimulant, kratom, legal in Kansas. Garden City 'Pot Mom' Pleads No Contest In Exchange For Probation By C.J. Janovy • Aug 11, 2017 James Dobson / Garden City Telegram Shona Banda, a Garden City, Kansas, mother who drew national attention after losing custody of her son over her use of cannabis, has pleaded no contest to felony charges in exchange for probation. Banda, who has Crohn's disease, has been a vocal advocate of medical marijuana and self-published a book about her use of cannabis oil to treat her condition, an inflammatory bowel disease that can cause severe abdominal pain and other symptoms. Judge Tosses Lawsuit By Kansas Marijuana Activist Who Lost Custody Of Her Son By Dan Margolies • Dec 27, 2016 James Dobson / Garden City Telegram A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit brought by a Garden City, Kansas, mother who lost custody of her son over her use of cannabis oil in an incident that drew national attention. In a brief four-page order Tuesday, U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten dismissed the action, finding that Shona Banda had failed to respond to the defendants' "prima facie valid arguments." Banda, who represented herself, had sued the Garden City school district and one of its employees; the Garden City police department and its chief; the state of Kansas and Gov. Sam Brownback; and the Kansas Department for Children and Families and its secretary, Phyllis Gilmore. Banda filed her lawsuit in March, exactly a year after Garden City police raided her home and seized marijuana, cannabis oil and drug-related equipment after her 11-year-old son spoke up about her use of cannabis at a school anti-drug presentation. Chairman Says Kansas House Health Committee Will Debate Medicaid Expansion By Meg Wingerter • Dec 19, 2016 Kansas News Service File Medicaid expansion will get hearings in the Kansas House during the upcoming legislative session, the chairman of its health committee says, and leadership assignments suggest the issue may have a more receptive audience than in the past. Rep. Dan Hawkins, a Wichita Republican who also headed the committee in 2016, says he remains opposed to expanding Medicaid to some low-income non-disabled adults, but his committee will debate the issue. Advocates Rally In Topeka Against Watered-Down Medical Marijuana Bill By Andy Marso • Apr 27, 2016 Andy Marso / Heartland Health Monitor A bill to legalize hemp oil at the state level has drawn the ire of Kansas medical marijuana advocates who say it's too watered down to do any good. Members of Bleeding Kansas, one of the state's largest medical marijuana advocacy groups, rallied Wednesday at the Capitol to urge legislators to ditch Senate Bill 489. Christine Gordon and others said the bill would only add fees and regulatory hurdles to cannabidiol, or CBD oil — a substance that already can be accessed legally at the federal level. Child Custody Case In Garden City Stirs Medical Marijuana Debate By Andy Marso & Ashley Booker • Apr 20, 2015 Danny Danko / Flickr--CC The case of a medical marijuana activist in Garden City who lost custody of her son after the boy spoke up at a school anti-drug event has stirred legalization advocates. Shona Banda had a custody hearing Monday after police went to her home and seized suspected marijuana that she said she used to treat her Crohn's disease. She was stripped of custody, at least temporarily, and may yet face charges. Banda previously lived in Colorado, where marijuana is legal not only for medical use but for recreational use as well. Garden City is only about an hour's drive from the Colorado border but a world away in terms of state marijuana laws. In Kansas, possession of any amount of marijuana is a felony on the second offense. Legislative efforts to change that have gained little traction in recent years, with broad-based medical marijuana legalization bills generally not even getting a hearing. Could Cannabis Return As Cash Crop? By Gina Kaufmann & Matthew Long-Middleton • May 20, 2014 Edward the Bonobo / Flickr/CC In 1942 the U.S. Department of Agriculture produced a film promoting the many uses of hemp and touted its production as part of a patriotic mission to win the war effort. But, shortly after World War II domestic production of any form of cannabis, hemp or otherwise, became prohibited. But, the legacy of this once cash crop lingers and you don't need to look far off the roads of Kansas and Missouri to find wild varieties of "ditch weed" growing. Could Hemp Be An 'Agricultural Revolution'? By Luke Runyon • May 20, 2014 Luke Runyon / Harvest Public Media The farm bill passed earlier this year is big news for advocates of hemp.

Chesterfield Inn
Chesterfield Inn
Address: 20 Cross Road
Phone: 800-365-5515
Web Address: http://www.chesterfieldinn.com
West Chesterfield, New Hampshire
Perched on a hill overlooking a pond in the front and a field of wildflowers in the back, The Chesterfield Inn is the ideal place to serve as your base when visiting southern Vermont and New Hampshire. Located just over the border from Brattleboro, Vermont and halfway between Keene, New Hampshire it is the perfect refuge when skiing at Mt Snow or Stratton , antiquing in the many great antique shops, or just relaxing in the mountain air. The sprawling Inn, originally built in the late 1700's with an additional building constructed in 1992 is wonderfully maintained with beautiful rooms, excellent food and a delightful staff.
There are 15 rooms in the original house and the adjacent Johanna Wetherby Building. Ten have fireplaces, two have whirlpools and six are pet friendly. Mine, #20, in the Wetherby Building could not have been more comfortable. I had a hard time gathering up my things and getting on the road the next morning. A private entry led past an antique secretary to an oversized room made larger still with cathedral ceilings. Two club chairs and ottomans with a throw draped over one surrounded the fireplace and were perfect for reading, glass of wine and early morning coffee. Decorated with toile wallpaper, rich burgundy floral draperies, traditional furniture and antiques, the room was both elegant and intimate. A wonderful Temperpedic bed with luxury linens guaranteed a great sleep and in the morning a personal Keurig machine helped start the day with a great cup of coffee. The bath had a huge two person Jacuzzi, a stall shower and Gilchrist & Soames toiletries. A good sized deck looked out over an open field which I was told is filled with wildflowers in the summer.
Cocktails are served in the parlor or outside on the Terrace. The views of the back meadow and the rolling hills beyond are soothing and colorful when the wildflowers are in bloom. The formal dining room is elegantly decorated with traditional furniture set with crisp linens, crystal and china and fresh flowers. A small 4 table porch next to the main dining room juts out over the meadow and is a wonderfully intimate setting for dinner. Under the direction of Chef Bob Nabstedt, the menu is innovative, well prepared and quite good. It features fresh fish from Boston, local game and herbs from their own gardens. I started with a roasted butternut squash ravioli with a balsamic brown butter, toasted hazelnuts and shaved Parmesan that I didn't want to end. I really wanted to order the braised bison short ribs with a zinfandel and roasted shallot reduction sauce, but opted for the healthier sesame encrusted Atlantic swordfish with a bourbon, ginger and soy glaze and wasn't disappointed in the least. A pumpkin creme brulee ended a great meal. Appetizers: $7-$11, entrees: $22-$32, desserts: $6.
The wine list, although totaling only 40 selections has some well thought out choices like a Louis Latour Chardonnay, a Trimbach Pinot Blanc, Bogle Phantom and a Perrin Reserve Cote du Rhone, all well priced.
Breakfast was equally as satisfying with fresh Green Mountain coffee, fresh juices and fruits and a choice of delicious entrees including eggs, omelets, pancakes and French toast. Breakfast is included in the room rate.

Which social network is better for fixed ops marketing, from Stratosphere Studio.
At Stratosphere Studio, we've run across a number of auto body shops in which the owner is wearing multiple hats: performing customer service, repairing vehicles, handling financial paperwork, and so much more. On top of all that, you are likely the solo marketing department for your shop, which leaves you with very little time to accomplish much. Therefore, you're probably looking for ways to maximize your time. One of the ways that you can increase your efficiency is to eliminate any unnecessary or dysfunctional areas in your marketing plan. For plenty of body shops, their social media choices come into question during the busiest times of the year. Some shops are spread too thin, trying to participate on every social network available. Some are only on Facebook, but wonder if their time could be better spent elsewhere.
If you're currently debating between two of the top choices for body shops—Google+ and Facebook, here is what you should keep in mind: Facebook is still the king (in terms of numbers).
At present, there is still a significant difference in the number of users on each network. Facebook is at over 1.15 billion monthly users, while Google+ is at 343 million. Now, the number of Google+ users is certainly considerable and something to pay attention to, but it doesn't yet compare to Facebook's powerful rankings.

If you want to spend a night out in a good restaurant. This is the place to go. The food is fantastic, I had the goat, the Mafonga and tasted the steak. All were absolutely delicious. Good service too.
We loved this little bakery. We went for a walk on a beach every morning and came straight here. The family that runs it was so kind to my children. Amazing breakfast sandwich on their fresh bread. Don't miss it!
Simple looking place with good quality bread in the mornings and equally good no-frills pizza in the evening. Had a local feel and character, although several jeeps with americans stop by all the time.

Huddersfield scored a near perfect 19.5 out of a possible 20 in Cask Marque's scoring table just pipping Truro, Twickenham and Exeter for the top spot. The town has also been voted the most sort after place to live in the UK recently not to mention a poll of residents last year that found them to be the most content people in the north of England - and now we know why!
One pub with special reason to raise a glass is the legendary Ossett Brewery owned Rat and Ratchet (above) at Chapel Hill, Mild Pub of the Year 2007 and current holder of the local CAMRA Pub of the Year award.
Manager Sam Birkhead, 24, took over from the previous landlord three months ago and is pleased that the area has been recognised for its pint-pulling prowess.
He said: "There are a number of great pubs in and around Huddersfield and it is no great surprise that the town has been recognised with this award.
"I suppose as the town's Pub of the Year we are leading the way, but as the cliché goes, you are only as good as your last pint.
"The Rat and Ratchet has a long history of good cask beer, and we want to continue that tradition."
Nationally Cask Marque assessed a total of 9,403 pubs and rated about 28,000 pints (now there's a good job to have!) during its research throughout 2007.
Its inspectors say the perfect pint must be served between 11 and 13ºC in a spotlessly clean glass.
"The beer should have good clarity, a fresh aroma and a refreshing aftertaste. Cask Marque director Paul Nunny said: "For pub goers to really enjoy and appreciate their ale it has to be served just right. We were extremely impressed by the consistent quality of pints being pulled in Huddersfield and offer our congratulations to local publicans, many of whom have already gained Cask Marque accreditation.
"Cask ale is unique to British pubs and when it is well kept and well presented there is nothing else quite so refreshing and flavoursome.
Get it wrong, however, and you run the risk of putting the consumer off for life!"
...or at least until the next pub! I can only surmise that their 'tour' of the town included the Big Four (Rat, Star, Grove & Station) and largely ignored the rest - but who's complaining!

Spring In Minnesota
Hi all! While we wait for the snow to melt, I will be planning my second giveaway this week. Check back to see who the winner of the "Smudge" book is in my next post and enter the new giveaway.

Good to see somebody's enjoying pussy-footing through the snow! Looks beautiful, but cold!ReplyDelete
Poor kitty....Well, hope it melts soon!ReplyDeleteReplies
Guy Noir loves the snow! He was ready to come in after about five minutes though. Most of it should be gone by the weekend *fingers crossed*.Delete
Man, it looks like another planet! Beautiful though with the color of the trees coming through... (and what pretty music you have on in the background. What is it?)ReplyDeleteReplies
The music is by a young Russian artist named Beshevli. At the top-right side of my blog under the hopping birds, just click on the music box and it will take you to the SoundCloud page. I love it and have interacted with several "unknown" but fabulous up and coming artists. It is quite fun because they actually comment back!Delete
Wow, Diane, this late in the season?? We have had temps of 84, today it is mid 60's, we had a huge thunderstorm last night. I hope it melts really fast. xoReplyDelete
It looks really pretty, but flipping cold!ReplyDelete
Hmmm, looks suspiciously like Alberta. At least you never have to worry about not being able to see Guy Noir in the backyard!ReplyDelete
Looks like a scene in a Canadian area! The photos are gorgeous --- just misplaced! It should look that way in January, not in April. What a contrast between Guy Noir and the snow. You can spot him from a mile away in there :)ReplyDelete
The snow has not arrived here. At least not yet. I keep seeing warnings about snow and ice pellets and freezing rain, but so far, nothing. I'm hoping that this will be another one of those times when it just doesn't happen. We'll see...
Gosh that does look an awful lot like winter! :) I hope you have a snow-less spring soon.ReplyDelete
Diane, the pictures are beautiful, but I have to admit, it is time for the snow to go! We got the same snow and tomorrow, it's suppose to be freezing rain! Uggg! I love Guy Noir in the photos! So did my mom ;o) Big Hugs ;o)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the treasury ;o) Hugs ;o)ReplyDelete
wow that's too coldReplyDelete
Your cat's name is Guy Noir? That is awesome!ReplyDelete
Oh, my! I saw on the news you got socked again up north. We had golf ball sized and bigger hail here in Eastern Nebraska. I think we're looking at a new paint job on the house. Stay warm.ReplyDelete
Your fence looks pretty and your cat looks quite content ~ oh my though the snow, oh MY.ReplyDelete
Dear Diane - this is beautiful but I wish it was not April's beauty...certainly looks more like January and February. Hope it melts soon. You are certainly making the best of it my friend. Take care - I will look up and ask that spring comes your way soon.ReplyDelete
O wow, how beautiful -- the snow, the cat, everything! Not quite spring... but I'm sure there's some flower or two poking up somewhere under all that!ReplyDelete
Gosh - pretty - but cold!ReplyDelete
Thank you for leaving a comment! I do read them all and will try to respond if I'm able. Please know that all comments are appreciated, I love to hear your thoughts on my posts! ~ Diane

Vikings have always had a very rich mythology and amazing culture. So it is not surprising that nowadays they have become so popular among lovers of tattoo making. Perhaps this is the main reason why the pictures on the human body, depicting Normand symbols, should be made in every professional tattoo salon. The specialists are sure, it is quite difficult to do the images of the northerners. However, the total meaning of the viking tattoos can be identified. – These pictures are able to emphasize such human qualities as courage, bravery, power, etc. They are usually chosen by men or strong women.

Sometimes it is rather difficult to understand the meaning of Viking tattoo designs, the pictures, which were previously used by Northerns to decorate their bodies. However, we can give the general explanation: these traditional skin decorations emphasize such human qualities as courage, bravery, courage, etc.
Among the most popular themes of Viking tattoos are the following ones:
- drawings of a ship, telling about the love of Normans to unconquered lands discoveries;
- images of strong and brave warriors in armor with traditional axes and swords, emphasizing the courage and bravery of the Scandinavians;
- pictures of Valkyrie, that is picking up the fallen soldiers from the battlefield and sending them to Valhalla.
The Viking tattoo designs can also contain geometric shapes and symbols. The most common of them are crosses, triangles, tridents, and various ornaments, with the help of which the figures acquire the integrity and completeness.
Where to arrange a traditional Viking tattoo?
A portrait picture is one of the most common variants of the modern skin decoration as to the Scandinavian themes.
As a rule this kind of sketch is represented by portrait drawing, arranged on the shoulder. Usually the warrior is depicted with weapons (sword or ax), and sometimes with a helmet on the head. The pattern can be complemented by ornaments, contour patterns, etc.
The ship images are also among the most popular ones. Such designs are usually applied on the abdomen, back or arm. But there are also the ideas in which one tattoo comes slightly from one body part to another. The pictures may be also supplemented by images of birds, sea waves. etc.
In order to create a strong artistic effect the figure may involve the elements of red, blue and others bright shades, for example, the blue sky and the waves, and a traditional red-and-white Scandinavian flag.
Another idea is represented by a picture with the image of various creatures known from the mythology of northern people. This tattoo is a bit allegorical. It seems to reflect the power and strength of the Vikings.
In addition, some archaeological excavations help us to suggest that the Normans decorated their flags and ships by monsters. That is why sometimes it is possible to create a terrifying picture inside the Viking tattoos.

Bisexual Hollywood: Evan Rachel Wood confesses lady love
Evan Rachel Wood has opened up about her bisexuality, joining a growing list of famous females who love both men and women. Self-described as romantic, you can expect Evan to be the one to pick up the tab and hold open the door while out on a ladies only date.
Evan Rachel Wood's bisexual confession is in the pages of the latest issue of Esquire magazine. The 23-year-old former fiance of rocker Marilyn Manson explains what first attracted her to his unique ways.
"I was always into very androgynous things. Guys, girls...I'm into androgyny in general," she explains. "I think one of the things that freaked people out so much is that we looked so different."
When it comes to dating women, Evan prefers to take on the more traditional male role. "I'm more of like the guy when it comes to girls. I'm the dominant one," she says. "I'm opening the doors, I'm buying dinner. Yeah, I'm romantic."
While bisexuality itself is nothing new, the willingness of those in the public eye to talk freely seems to be a growing trend. Prior to Evan Rachel Wood's bisexuality confession, her True Blood co-star Anna Paquin (now married to Stephen Moyer) shocked fans by coming out in 2010 as part of a PSA for the Give A Damn campaign.
Other bisexual celebrity females include Angelina Jolie, Drew Barrymore, Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan and Judassongstress Lady Gaga.
With one recent commenter writing, "I think it would make bigger headlines if someone in Hollywood came out as straight," one has to wonder about the recent popularity of bisexuality.
Are celebrities jumping on the bisexual chic bandwagon? Or is a greater acceptance of bisexuality finally allowing the truth to emerge?
