Biographical Sketches
Thomas Paine
Thomas Paine (1694-1757), a native of Barnstable, Mass., graduated from Harvard College in 1717. He worked as an itinerant preacher until, in 1719, he was ordained as the minister of Weymouth. In 1721, he married Eunice Treat of Boston, daughter of Rev. Samuel Treat of Eastham and granddaughter of Rev. Samuel Willard of the Old South Church, Boston. Paine left the ministry in 1734 and embarked on a career as a merchant in Boston, often suffering from the vagaries of trade in the 1740s. In 1754, he moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, but became ill and returned to Boston in 1756. He died the following year in Germantown at the home of his daughter Abigail Greenleaf.
Paine's surviving children were: Abigail (1725-1809), who married Joseph Greenleaf; Robert Treat Paine (1731-1814); and Eunice Paine (1733-1803), unmarried sister and frequent correspondent of Robert Treat Paine.
Robert Treat Paine
Robert Treat Paine (1731-1814), son of Thomas Paine (1694-1757), was born in Boston, attended the Boston Latin School, and graduated from Harvard College in 1749. For one year, he taught school in Lunenburg, Mass., then worked as a merchant in the southern trade, traveling to the Azores and Spain and on a whaling voyage to Greenland. In 1755, he served as chaplain for the Crown Point campaign. Paine returned to Boston in 1756 to continue his law studies, which he had begun informally two years earlier in Lancaster, Mass. He studied under Benjamin Prat and was admitted to the bar in 1757. Initially burdened with the settlement of his father's insolvent estate, Paine moved to Taunton in 1761, where he developed his legal practice, following the circuit of courts through Massachusetts and the province of Maine. He was appointed a justice of the peace in 1763, served in various local capacities, and was eventually elected to represent Taunton in the state legislature beginning in 1773.
Paine's involvement in provincial politics began in 1770, when the town of Boston asked him to assist in the prosecution of the Boston Massacre trials. A member of the Massachusetts delegation to the First Continental Congress in 1774, he served in Philadelphia as chairman of the ordnance committee and was among the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He represented Taunton in the three Provincial Congresses and returned to the state legislature in 1777, when he was chosen Speaker pro tempore. Elected attorney general that same year, Paine supervised the condemnation of Tory estates, prosecuted the insurgents of Shays' Rebellion, participated in the Commonwealth's Constitutional Convention, and served on the committee to revise the laws. In 1790, he was appointed an associate justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts and served on the bench until his retirement in 1804. He died in Boston in 1814, aged 80.
Paine was married to Sally Cobb of Taunton (1744-1816), sister of Gen. David Cobb. Their eight children were: Robert (1770-1798), Sally (1772-1823), Thomas (who, in 1801, changed his name to Robert Treat Paine, Jr.) (1773-1811), Charles (1775-1810), Henry (1777-1814), Mary (1780-1842), Maria Antoinette (1782-1842), and Lucretia (1785-1823).

Collection Description
This collection consists of the papers of Robert Treat Paine (1731-1814), Massachusetts lawyer, politician, member of the First Continental Congress (1774), signer of the Declaration of Independence, and justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Included are correspondence; account books (1751-1814); business and legal papers kept by Paine as a lawyer, attorney general, and judge; minutes of trials, including the Boston Massacre and Shays' Rebellion trials; and documents related to his work as a local and state politician. Earlier papers include his sea journals/logbooks (1750-1754) kept on trading voyages to Cape Hatteras and North Carolina, the Azores, and Cadiz, Spain, and on a whaling voyage off Greenland; diaries (1745-1814); and sermons given in Massachusetts and as chaplain on the Crown Point Expedition during the French and Indian War (1755).
The collection also contains the papers of other family members, a significant amount of Paine family correspondence, and legal and financial papers (including the estates of Robert Treat Paine and his father Thomas). Papers of family members include the annotated almanacs (1716-1750) and sermons (1724-1733) of Paine's father Thomas Paine (1694-1757); the diary (1785-1791) of Paine's son Robert Paine (1770-1798); and the astronomical observations (1833-1837) of Paine's grandson Robert Treat Paine (1803-1885). Other family members represented in the collection include Paine's sons Robert Treat Paine, Jr. (1773-1811) (originally Thomas Paine) and Charles Paine (1775-1810); grandson Charles Cushing Paine (1808-1874); and great-grandson Charles Jackson Paine (1833-1916). The collection also contains catalogs of private libraries and genealogical information. Among the many correspondents are Richard Cranch, Joseph Greenleaf, John Hancock, David Cobb, Shearjashub Bourne, and Elbridge Gerry.
A one-volume index to the Paine papers was prepared by Charles Cushing Paine, and many of the items in this collection were numbered in the upper right-hand corner. This index, located at the end of Reel 8 (Series I.N.), reflects an earlier arrangement of the collection and is now obsolete.
This revised microfilm edition supercedes all previous guides to the Robert Treat Paine papers, including the 1991 Guide to the Microfilm Edition of the Robert Treat Paine Papers, microfilmed on Reel 1.

The first major group of papers came from John B. Paine, Helen P. Kimball, Georgina P. Fisher, Mary A. Winsor, and Frank C. Paine in 1940. An addition containing printed material and more manuscripts was added in 1954. In 1972, an allegorical letter from Robert Treat Paine to Mr. and Mrs. George Leonard, Jr., dated January 1, 1760, was purchased by the MHS.

This is a community event held by Portland Sacred Harp shapenote singers and is free and open to all.
There is just one requirement to attend: an interest in singing. This is not a choir. We sing for ourselves and for each other, not to perform. There are no auditions, and our singings are made up of whoever happens to show up on a particular day. This often includes every possible level of musical experience and ability... from trained opera singers, to folks who sing in the church choir, to those who were asked not to sing in the church choir! All are welcome here.
This form of music-making has been practiced throughout the country since its origins in New England in the late 1700s. The shape note system was developed to help people learn to sight read music, and even after the system lost favor in the Northeast, it continued to thrive in the American South, and has now experienced a revival in all parts of this country and in many places abroad.

It's that time again Calgary. You managed to get ahead of the Mighty Oil by a measly two goals last Battle of Alberta. Fortunately the good guys dug deep and managed to pump eight straight past your goaltending duo. Eight. Straight. Goals.
Let the soundtrack be the sequel to Gangham Style which dropped today. We have a few things to say.
Perhaps someone can explain why the Flames have won two of your last three games since selling off everything of value in the Saddledome including the scoreboard. Do the remaining "NHL calibre players" not understand what needs to happen from here on out? You need to l-o-s-e. Every game. Not squeak out shootout victories in Phoenix and celebrate like you are a few good powerplays away from being back on top.
You're so bad down in Calgary that you are bad at being bad. Let that sink in. Up here we are great at being bad. Hell the Oilers are the Lebron Jameseses of being bad – we understand exactly what it takes. A burning desire to see your squad crater into the league basement at 800 km/h, the ability to mail it in on any given night. You have to want it for heaven's sakes.
Fortunately the Oil will show you how to spectacularly implode as they look to pump another 8 past you tonight. Think of it as helping kick off your 6 year rebuild.
Speaking of people who are doing it wrong the residents of the venerable Wanye Manor here in Edmonton have elected to scalp tickets for tonight and take Edmonton's newest permanent resident – former Morningside Panther Sam Brown – to his first Oilers game.
This guy is one hell of an Oiler fan already mind you – he knows the team from tip to toe and has been streaming games from Australia all year. He knows that Tambo is an indecisive wreck riddled with crippling second guessing and is more interested in solving the Caramilk Mystery than he is figuring out how to take the Oilers to the next level.
But we still have blind faith in the Oilers up here. Yes they may have cooled off after being red hot and yes it's not looking good for the Mighty Oil to streak into the post season. But you gotta keep the faith that selling most of the furniture in the Manor and going to a Saturday Night Battle of Alberta will result in victorious mayhem.
You think the Oil are going to let down Sam Brown at his first Oilers game?
Please. Chalk this up as a win right now.
According to the Oilers official twitter feed there will be no changes in the Oilers lineup from last game
Khabibulin gets the start in net.
The Flames lineup is hard to determine tonight. Their official site has no mention of how things are shaping up, nor does their twitter feed. The ever helpful folks over at Coppernblue have published the lineup below which is quite a different squadron than suggested in the Edmonton Sun today. It's almost as though the Flames themselves are running a smoke screen to mask how far the franchise has fallen.
Anyways, the "lines" are as follows:
Horak – Cammalleri – Baertschi
Glencross- Backlund – Stempniak
Hanowski – Reinhart – Jones
Jackman – Cervenka – McGrattan
Joey MacDonald gets the start tonight until he is inevitably pulled.
Note: Rumour has it that Glencross is out too with some sort of mystery illness – most likely being sick of being a Flame. If this happens chuck another crumb you have never heard of onto a line randomly.
Note 2: In addition to having one of the worst lineups in the NHL, the Flames have to be near the top for the hardest lineup to spell. Who the hell are any of these players? What the hell is a Ben Hanowski?
GAME DAY PREDICTION: Oilers win 5-2 on goals from Hall, Eberle (2), J. Schultz and Yakupov. Scoring for Calgary "who cares" and "some guy you quasi know"
OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: The Oilers remember that they might be on the outside looking in this year but the Flames are on the outside of the outside looking in. They shell them into oblivion.
NOT-SO-OBVIOUS GAME DAY PREDICTION: After lumbering into his perch in the press box Flames GM Jay Feaster will scan the lineup for tonight's match. "Jeez the Flames don't look very good on paper do they?" After it's brought to his attention that it is in fact his job to fix the lineup he will dimly shrug his shoulders and say "nothing that can't keep till the summer am I right? Now where's that free popcorn I heard about up here?"
From across the press box Steve Tambellini smiles knowingly and gives him the thumbs up.

Each time Game of Thrones returns, it's worth noting how the ever-expanding animated map of Westeros illustrates the series' excursive story – a tale that shows no sign of restricting the number of borders it is willing to cross, or the seas it will traverse in order to regale viewers with the most unrestrained yarn possible.
As season 3 begins, the intro's eye-in-the-sky zooms in on King's Landing; does a flyby on the scorched stones of Harrenhal; buzzes a smoking Winterfell; and bounds effortlessly over the sea (offering a glimpse of Astapor, the home of the Unsullied). Through this journey one thing becomes clear: No matter how many Starks wind up with their head on a pike, no matter how many countless warriors become engulfed in wildfire and spend the rest of eternity in the depths of Blackwater, Westeros, the most vital element in Game of Thrones, will carry on.
But that satellite – watching as the world seemingly builds itself up from nothing – is more than a celestial voyeur; it is the omniscient eye of showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff. Thanks to the work of George R.R. Martin, its vision hints at a course along a pre-established storyline, alluding to the fates of characters too small to be seen from its lofty vantage point, but exceedingly integral to this world's future. The landscape that is shown before every episode reminds the viewer that across the myriad plotlines, this is the tale of Westeros; it is detailing where the story has been, but along with having the best seat in the house, it is blessed with the knowledge of what's to come.
Perhaps that's what affords Weiss and Benioff the opportunity to tell this tale so patiently and, as we've seen over the course of two full seasons, in single-serving portions that the audience gobbles up with all the enthusiasm of a direwolf chomping fingers off burly men with a penchant for furry footwear and winter swordplay.
In 10 hours, season 2 broadened a world where men like Ned Stark lost their lives to the whims of sneering boy-kings into a place where Daenerys Targaryen's dragon-aided aspiration of laying claim to the Iron Throne was nearly derailed by blue-lipped warlocks, and Tyrion Lannister nearly lost his life in a battle so epic its account was granted full-use of the season's penultimate episode.
The build-up to 'Blackwater' paid off in more ways than one. It brought several of the season's key storylines together and it showed how increasing the scale of the series could be feasibly and convincingly done. And now, season 3 is following that large-scale effort by making things even bigger and grander (if the sight of a giant driving wooden stakes into the frozen ground with his fists is any indication). In fact, season 3 is so big it will reportedly only constitute one-half of the book from which its storyline is derived.
And as the games commence, the effects of that mighty battle are still being felt. Blackwater has left two men on opposite sides of the conflict broken. In defeat, Stephen Dillane's Stannis Baratheon appears to have given himself over wholly to the instructions of Melisandre, who imprisons a sun-baked, but still devoted Davos. In King's Landing, however, victory proves to be just as empty for Tyrion, who receives a one-two punch from sister Cersei and father Tywin, knocking him back to the lowest rung on the Lannister family ladder.
Elsewhere, Robb looks for a suitable cell for his mother amongst the ruins of Harrenhal, while Jon Snow is still trudging along beyond the wall, waiting to make the acquaintance of Ciarán Hinds' Mance Rayder, while his fellow (former?) men of the Night's Watch prepare to do battle with the elements, White Walkers and Samwell's inability to do the one job he had to do.
But despite the addition of even more effects-driven magic, e.g., dragons, giants and beautiful, sprawling vistas, it doesn't feel like a jarring leap from season 2 to season 3. In their staging of the series' progress, Weiss and Benioff have ushered in a more gradual and therefore seamless transition between seasons that belies the excruciating wait between them and hints at the grand, long-term plans HBO has for Game of Thrones.
And so, even when presented with an exceptional episode like 'Valar Dohaeris' (that is, for all intents and purposes, an hour of table-setting), what transpires feels like something more along the lines of true episodic carry-over, rather than the brusque beginning of a new season; a notion that (with the possible exception of diva-in-training Daenerys) thankfully leaves little time for characters to constantly remind one another of their situation. Instead, they are tasked with keeping the story moving forward.
After all, this isn't just the start of another thrilling season of HBO's preeminent series; it's the continuation of an epic television saga that shows no signs of slowing down.
Game of Thrones continues next Sunday with 'Dark Wings, Dark Words' @9pm on HBO. Check out a preview of the episode below:

Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo has been added to Golden Globe nominations list for her work on Ellie Goulding's "Love Me Like You Do" from the "Fifty Shades of Grey" soundtrack.
Lo, who co-wrote the song, was not originally listed as a nominee for best original song when the Globes announced its nominations earlier this month. But the Globes told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Lo will now compete for the award because she wrote the hit along with nominees Max Martin, Savan Kotecha, Ilya Salmanzadeh and Ali Payami.
The multi-platinum "Love Me Like You Do" is up against Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's "See You Again," Sam Smith's "Writing's on the Wall," Brian Wilson's "One Kind of Love" and David Lang's "Simple Song #3" at the Jan. 10 awards.

Two weeks ago, Mike and I took a ski vacation to Aspen, Co. where he proposed!
We had the most wonderful trip - I love Aspen because not only does it have picturesque skiing, it is a fantastic town with amazing restaurants, cafes, shopping and fun night life, as well. The entire village is located at the base of Aspen Mountain - you can ski right into town for lunch or an apres ski drink.
ABOVE : this is our first day skiing after our lunch at Cloud 9 Bistro. The restaurant is located 100 yards off of the Cloud 9 lift on the Aspen Highlands Mountain - my favorite mountain... it is a private, luxurious feeling mountain without crowds and long lines.
The first day was our travel day - we flew directly into Aspen, then settled in to our hotel, The Grand Hyatt Residences.
ABOVE : a view of the town during the day.
The first day, we had lunch at the Ajax Tavern at The Little Nell. It was delicious - truffle fries and tomato bisque!
ABOVE : Mike in front of our hotel at the base.
For dinner, we went to the Brexi Brasserie - a fabulous little spot. At restaurants, instead of sticking with the typical salad then entree routine, I like to order several small courses to be shared. At the Brexi, we started with crab legs, then we shared a warm goat cheese and beet salad, then steamed mussels in a saffron broth. I'm still daydreaming about it today...
On our first day skiing, we skied Aspen Highlands. Here I am in front of "Apple Strudel" my favorite run... note the 'easiest' designation.
ABOVE : Lunch at Cloud 9 - such a nice treat to be 12,000 feet up having a white tablecloth lunch by the fire. We started with a seafood and potato chowder, then...
I had a pan fried bass with homemade dumplings and caper berries. We ended the meal with the most spectacular hot chocolate.
After skiing, we hit the hot tub at our hotel.
That evening, Mike surprised me with a horse-drawn sleigh ride thru trails on the back side of Aspen Mountain, where he proposed : ) Unfortunately, I only had my iphone camera with me, so we didn't have a flash for a better photo - this was taken by the light of the sleigh!
ABOVE : Chocolate covered strawberries and champagne to congratulate us on the engagement from Mike's parents.
The view from our hotel room - an ice skating rink and sparkling lights!

Release ~ Super Robot Wars Gaiden v1.05 Super Robot Wars Gaiden
# Posted on September 4th, 2018 11:26 AM by Gideon ZhiHi everyone, this is just a quick note to say that SRW Gaiden has been updated to v1.05. Among several typos, this fixes an issue where if an Elemental that does not have a pilot ends up in your Repair screen at the end of a map (for instance, if it gets wrecked and its pilot gets killed as part of a plot event), said Repair screen ends up slightly broken. I´m expecting that this will be the final version of the patch. Enjoy!

Progress ~ The State of SRW Super Robot Wars EX, Super Robot Wars 4, Super Robot Wars Alpha
# Posted on June 25th, 2018 12:59 PM by Gideon ZhiWith the recent release of The Elemental Lords, it´s time to talk about AGTP´s remaining SRW projects. First on the docket is Super Robot Wars EX, which thanks to some recent tooling I´m proud to announce has taken some massive strides forward in the last few weeks and is very close to being technically complete. The script is in reasonably good shape, though I´m in the process of passing it off for a second look-over by SSJCyberSonic who´s fresh from his recent work on the A Portable project. I´ve added 22 new screenshots to the project´s page and am attaching two to this post. I´m hopeful that the game will be ready before the end of the year, but as usual I can´t promise anything. Additionally, EX´s new toolchain acts as a functional proof-of-concept for work that will be going into Hero Chronicle.
The added benefit of having EX fully functional is that the work can be ported to the other SNES SRW games. SRW3, while impressive for its day, is not nearly up to standard and I´m intending to redo it with EX´s new font code. And yes, the various incorrect character names will be fixed and the script itself will receive a fresh edit as well. The project´s stuff, while usable, is all extremely old though and I´m basically going to have to redo the hacking from scratch. Shouldn´t be too difficult, but no timelines or promises on availability.
So that´s the good news. The bad news is that the translated lines for SRW4 and SRW Alpha probably fall about 50% into the "best guess" category; in addition to the poor writing quite a lot of the text was just flat-out translated incorrectly. Alpha has been undergoing a verification process with Jolly, the current editor, who´s been steadily churning away on its gigantic script for the last several years; he´s estimating that he´s about 2/3s of the way through the script. What he´s done does look really, really nice though, and I´m looking forward to seeing the final version of the text. For SRW4, we´re probably just going to toss the script and retranslate it from scratch. Disappointing, but necessary. For the record, The Elemental Lords suffered a similar issue; this is one of the primary reasons the patch took so long in the first place. If anyone wants to have a whack at SRW4´s text please reach out! There´s an email button on the Contact page, and I can generally be reached on Twitter or on the Discord.
As a final closing note, I´ve made several minor fixes to The Elemental Lords. Typos, mispellings, that sort of thing. A few are still trickling in here and there so no new patch yet, but I´ll push out a v1.05 or something in the next month or two once that trickle slows.

Progress ~ Star Ocean: Blue Sphere Star Ocean: Blue Sphere
# Posted on June 4th, 2018 11:27 AM by Gideon ZhiToday I´m going to discuss the progress Blue Sphere has had over the last several years. The initial translation completed in 2012, though the writing is pretty rough and it´ll need to be edited. It´s also kind of glitchy, and there´s lots of interface work to be done. But I picked up some Z80 and GBC architecture last fall rather than wait for someone else to help out with it (I´ve had abortive promises on the technical work from at least three different directions) and managed to convert the main dialog font into 4x8 in the same manner as the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Work continues! I´ve updated the game´s project page with nine new screenshots indicative of the technical changes that have been done.

Release ~ SRW Gaiden v1.01 Super Robot Wars Gaiden
# Posted on May 29th, 2018 12:28 PM by Gideon ZhiIt´s been brought to my attention that the base ROM for the Super Robot Wars Gaiden translation was an overdump. Today I´m releasing v1.01, which uses the No-Intro ROM as a base. Fun fact: when the SRW Gaiden project started, the overdump was the only copy of the game available; No-Intro didn´t exist! The update also adds in the usual AGTP logo intro, and fixes a small handful of typos. There will likely be another patch at some point down the line to further fix any typos that may crop up, but beyond that there shouldn´t be anything of significance that would detract from anyone´s enjoyment. Play and have fun!

Major Release ~ Super Robot Wars Gaiden: The Elemental Lords Super Robot Wars Gaiden
# Posted on May 22nd, 2018 06:51 AM by Gideon ZhiToday AGTP releases a complete translation for Super Robot Wars Gaiden: The Elemental Lords. This title details the very beginning of the saga surrounding Banpresto´s first original Super Robot War character, and includes aboslutely no licensed units: the story and characters are all entirely original. The art style additionally is non-SD and the game includes several additional tactical elements not present in other SRW titles. It is, in fact, as ideal entrypoint as possible for anyone not familiar with the series.
The translation is complete and without any known issues. Enjoy!

Announcement ~ Announcing Hero Chronicle Hero Chronicle
# Posted on May 10th, 2018 06:28 PM by Gideon ZhiToday I´m announcing a translation project for Hero Chronicle: Project Olympus. This is a crossover RPG from Winkysoft and Banpresto, who you´ll know from Super Robot Wars. In fact, Masaki Andoh and Shu Shirakawa make appearances as playable characters, and this features the very first appearance of Gilliam Jaeger, a character who will go on to appear in several Super Robot Wars titles. The title screen music from this game actually became Gilliam´s SRW theme starting with the PS2 Super Robot Wars Original Generations titles.
I picked up Hero Chronicle for a number of reasons. First, I wanted to dabble with creating a fully-proportional menu font out of a tiled font, a skill which will serve me well in other projects like Madara 2. Second, Gilliam´s appearance gives this game historical importance amongst Banpresto´s crossover titles. I actually began work on this during the Great Battle endeavor back in January. The script was once again translated by TheMajinZenki, though once again it needs a good edit. And ,as state,d the menus are going to be extremely challenging, but the experience will be a good one and it´s already given me some thoughts on how better to handle the other SNES SRW titles´ menu problems. It´s going to be a bit of a slog to get the rest of the technical work done but I´ve got a good feeling about it.

Progress ~ Chaos World Redux Chaos World
# Posted on April 30th, 2018 11:45 AM by Gideon ZhiChaos World was one of the very first RPGs I worked on, and as a result the current patch isn´t quite up to standard; I had to cut down a *lot* of the text in order to fit the game script back in, and I never released it with a v1.0 status. Today I´m announcing that I still have Xeur´s original script before all the paring-down; with the help of TheMajinZenki I´ve mapped it to a new proper script dump and am preparing it for reinsertion. No new screenshots yet as it hasn´t gotten that far, but this is something I´m legitimately excited about and wanted to share the progress that has been made.

Progress ~ Yu Yu Haksuho Tokubetsu-Hen Yu Yu Hakusho: Tokubetsu-hen
# Posted on April 23rd, 2018 12:01 PM by Gideon ZhiToday I´m providing a progress report for Yu Yu Hakusho: Tokubetsu-hen. The main script is translated and inserted, but there´s a lot of fiddly technical bits left. I´ve been slowly re-drawing the menu graphics (the text on the menu items is actually painted on; it´s not on a different layer so when it´s removed, whatever was supposed to have been underneath it needs to be filled in by hand) and working on the menus. The tournament mode has a few problems and the attract mode still needs to be done, but the project is in fairly good shape. I´ve replaced the screenshots on the project´s page to reflect the work that´s been done. No ETA though; other things are taking priority.

Progress ~ Monstania Redux Monstania
# Posted on April 16th, 2018 11:59 AM by Gideon ZhiMonstania was the very first translation patch of meaningful size that I released, and it is correspondingly more than a little creaky in a lot of ways. To that end I´ve spent some time reworking it. I´d like to be able to have user-entered 8-character names and it still has the weird soft-lock semi-hang bug that the original version has, but I´ve gotten the script completely retranslated (thanks again to TheMajinZenki, who did JoJo, SRW2, Magical Drop 2, and Masoukishin.) I´m attaching a couple of sample snapshots of current work to this news post, but as they don´t reflect the currently available patch I´m not going to add them to the project page. As with Lady Stalker, the Monstania redux´s future could go a number of ways; I´m not going to say much more here about it, other than that it´s amazing how simple this game is to work on now that I´ve got nearly 20 years of experience under my belt!

Progress ~ Magical Drop 2 Commercially Available Magical Drop 2
# Posted on April 9th, 2018 11:33 AM by Gideon ZhiToday I´m going to be talking a bit about Magical Drop 2. The translation is complete and the game is now fully playable in English, end to end! But I´m not releasing it just yet, primarily because it is currently available for purchase - yes, with the English translation applied - as part of the Data East Classics Collection from Retro-bit. That´s right: we´ve been licensed! I´ve ticked the progress counter on the project page up to 99 (it doesn´t go any higher for projects without downloads) and updated the screenshots to showcase current work. From here I need to ask for some patience while I figure out where Magical Drop 2´s future lies.

BERLIN — In what could be the first tentative step towards what many in town will hope will be a peaceful reconciliation, the Mayor and Council recently directed Town Attorney Dave Gaskill to begin a dialogue with the Berlin Fire Company's (BFC) legal representation.
However, Gaskill's job, according to Mayor Gee Williams, is only to request "specific financial documents" from the BFC so that the town can determine where the institution stands financially. Whether or not that will eventually result in Berlin restoring any or all of the approximately $600,000 in funding it yanked from the company over the summer is unknown at this point, according to officials.
The town severed all of the funding it was giving the BFC, causing a huge stir at the time and resulting in accusations of mismanagement by both sides.
The council has claimed that the company failed to properly address internal cases of harassment while the BFC has argued that the council has attempted to interfere with how the organization is run to the point where it might hinder the company in their mission to serve the public.
Additionally, Williams has accused the BFC of running an "ambush" write-in candidate in the hopes of unseating him in the last election in October 2012. That's a charge the company has denied completely.
But even with a less than shiny recent history between the two groups, both have said that they would like to see a renewal of the century-plus relationship between Berlin and the BFC.
"We're basically waiting to hear something from the town as to what they want to do to proceed forward," said BFC President David Fitzgerald. "But yeah, we've been since last April willing and ready to meet with them, and we're just waiting to hear something from the town."
Though funding was pulled over the summer, the friction between the two parties extends back until at least last winter. Since then the BFC has made a number of attempts to find a way to restore town funding, publically asking the council in November to sit down with the BFC in front of an unbiased, third-party mediator of the town's choosing. At that time, the council refused, citing complaints with company leadership methods and wanting to see where any legal cases for either side stood before moving forward. Williams said that January would be the earliest he would expect the issue to gain any momentum.
As of Tuesday, Fitzgerald said that the BFC has not heard from the town and is planning on approaching the council again with the idea of both parties sitting down with a mediator. However, Williams confirmed that Gaskill has been instructed to make the first move in the process and will likely do so sometime in the first half of this month. The dialog will only take place between attorneys for now, added Williams, to keep any personal feelings out of the mix.
"For the time being, all communications will initially be limited to the attorneys representing each party," he said. "In the initial contact, the town seeks to determine the actual financial status of the fire company and our attorney will be requesting specific financial documents from the fire company as the first step in the process."
According to Fitzgerald, the financial status of the fire company is definitely starting to feel the effects of the severed funding.
"We have had to change some of our ways of thinking and yes, we've cut back on our maintenance, we've cut back on our other training, we've cut back on anything that we can and we've tried to do that without regards to anything that the public would see," Fitzgerald said.
But many of those cuts, especially on routine equipment maintenance, can stack exponentially, explained Fitzgerald, and continually avoiding repairs can drastically shorten the lifespan of any equipment. When vehicles begin to breakdown early, "that's when you'll see the cost catch up with us," he said.
Fitzgerald warned, "The longer it's going to continue the more it's going to have a long-term effect."
Personally, Williams asserted that he hopes that funding to the BFC can eventually be restored. But he has also made it clear that if and when money begins to flow back to the company, it will likely be less than before and contain more conditions.
"In my opinion, I would certainly want to re-establish funding at some point," Williams said. "In my opinion, I don't see that it will go back to the level it was."
Williams put that idea into action this week when he proposed drawing $300,000 annually for 10 years from the town's contingency fund to pay Berlin's portion of establishing a stormwater utility. That $300,000 would usually be part of the funding given to the BFC. With the contingency fund at a little over $700,000 currently, according to Williams, there would still be money left over for the company if funding is re-ignited. There's also the possibility of pulling money from elsewhere in the budget for the BFC if the council chose to do so.
But moving ahead with using the $300,000 for stormwater, which the council agreed to unanimously at Monday evening's meeting, with the exception of absent Councilman Troy Purnell, makes it seem unlikely that all $600,000 in BFC funding will be returned.
During Monday's stormwater meeting, Williams said that any return to funding of the BFC will probably be at a "substantially reduced level."
That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, he argued. Williams claimed that in the past the town "literally just wrote [the BFC] a check" every budget and that if money does return the council might monitor more closely how it is spent.
Whatever number the council may eventually decide on, Fitzgerald said that he just hopes it will be sufficient for the BFC to continue to properly serve the public.
"We would certainly hope that the funding will be restored to the level that we need to provide the public safety, as the residents have been used to for years in the community in Berlin," Fitzgerald said.

Etta James' son says the 72-year-old R&B singer is hospitalized in Southern California with a serious infection but he expects her to be released soon.
Donto James says his mother has been at Riverside Community Hospital for about a week and is recovering from sepsis caused by a urinary tract infection.
He says James, who lives in Woodcrest, entered a treatment program about a month ago to shake a dependency on painkillers and over-the-counter medicine. She was transferred to another facility and then the hospital when her physical condition worsened.
James, who sang everything from blues to jazz, is best known for the hit "At Last."

Brief Introduction to "Quran Tafsir" What it is and Why We Need it
We start with the word "Quran"
The word "Quran" in Arabic means "Recitation" (not written word). Too many people today are telling us what the Quran of Allah is and what it means.
All too often we are hearing from both Muslims and Non-Muslims; 'The Quran says this-or-that and the Quran means so-and-so' without giving reference to their actual source for meaning and understanding.
Many misconceptions, misquotes, misunderstandings and misrepresentations are tossed around in the media, news and public discussions about Islam and what it teaches.
The solution is to go back to the original source in the original language as understood by the people who first heard the Quran from the lips of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, along with his own definitions and explanations.
The good news is the Quran exists today in its entirety, exactly as it at the time of the prophet, peace be upon him.
The prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, heard the words directly from the Angel Gabriel (Jibril in Arabic) and these words were memorized by Muhammad, peace be upon him, and then recited to his companions, who then memorized and passed on these same words to their followers and this has continued to this very day.
The first word Angel Gabriel spoke to Muhammad, peace be upon him, was "Iqra", which comes from the same root for Quran, and it was a command to "Recite!" (Many people, even Muslims today think this word meant 'read', but it is incorrect because the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, was not able to read or write). Immediately we see the importance of going back to the most authentic and original source - the Quran in Arabic - to better understand the meanings.

Was £14.50 £11.60no reviews
When the seasons turn, wrap your little girl up warm in a snug jumper or cardigan. Our range of cosy basics features both fine and chunky-knit pieces decorated with floral prints, appliqué and contrast buttons. Options in delicate pastel hues are versatile and pretty, while knitwear in bright shades – from lemony yellow to pillar-box red – bring a splash of fun colour to baby's wardrobe. We've got traditional styles (just like nanny would knit) and more contemporary cover-ups with ruffles and ballerina wraps. Some even have super-cute bunny ears that are bound to get the family cooing.
Pick out a newborn girls' cardigan in a cosy jersey cotton to pop on over a sleepsuit in those first few weeks. We've even got tiny styles for premature babies weighing up to 4lbs if your little princess decides to show up early, and a size range that goes up to 3 years.
Baby girl jumpers team well with leggings for everyday playdates, while baby girl cardigans are perfect for layering over a dress for that special occasion. Hoods and cuffed sleeves keep them toasty when you're out and about. Soft cotton is gentle on delicate skin, while button fastenings up the front make for easy dressing – even with a wriggler. Most of our jumpers and cardigans can go in the wash at 30°C, so simply pop them in with the rest of baby's growing pile of laundry.

Odyssey of Nat Turner's Bible – from hidden in closet to featured at D.C.'s newest museum
Nat Turner is a revered figure to many African-Americans, a tangible example of someone who defied slavery's shackles.
He was a slave who could read and write, an early rebel who, inspired by Scripture, led a bloody rebellion against whites in southern Virginia in 1831.
But to the white families once targeted by Turner's band of slaves and freed blacks, he remains something altogether different, akin to today's terrorists, responsible for the killing of more than 50 people, including women and children.
That paradox came together when Rex Ellis, a curator at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, got a call out of the blue from a Virginia family that said it had Turner's Bible and wanted to donate it to the Smithsonian Institution, of which the museum is a part.
Such an artifact would be invaluable to the museum, which had to start its collection from scratch. Ellis, the associate director for curatorial affairs, knew that many tantalizing leads often fall through. This one, however, "was intriguing," he said.
The location was right: Southampton County, Va. So was the family name, Francis, which was among the names of Turner's victims. The story was also credible because Turner always carried a Bible.
Ellis, who is African-American, went to Virginia Beach, Va., to meet the young woman caller, Wendy Porter, who had convinced her family – particularly her stepfather, the Bible's owner – that the book needed to be preserved for history.
In addition, Porter thought the Bible was showing signs of deterioration and needed the care of a museum, where it could also be seen by the public.
Porter's mother brought out a bundle from the closet wrapped in an old dish towel, which Ellis said seemed to be as old as the Bible. She also said something that struck him; that the family knew that the Bible was important because "there was so much blood on it." He realized that it could be authentic.
"All that excited me no end," Ellis said. "I couldn't wait to bring it back" to Washington for testing.
For Maurice Person, the Bible's owner and Porter's stepfather, the Bible created more complicated feelings. In an interview, he recalled the family story about his great-great-grandmother, Lavinia Francis, who was a young child at the time of the Turner raid.
"She was home one day, except for the servants," said Person. "They got word that the Nat Turner group was approaching the house. The servants took her upstairs and hid her in a cubbyhole. That's why I'm here today."
Turner was tried and hanged. Slave owners killed more than 100, and possibly close to 200, black people in revenge.
The Bible could have been lost to history except that Person's grandfather, Walter Carl Anthony, was at the courthouse in Courtland, Va., one day around 1900 when they were cleaning out the basement.
"He saw the Bible there and realized the significance," said Person.
His grandfather acquired it, along with some records related to the case.
"It had a lot of very historical significance to it," Person said. "It was great to have it in the house. . . . There's not admiration for Turner. It's more of a Southern history appreciation. This was a huge event in history, especially local history."
He said he was "a little shocked" at his stepdaughter's insistence about relinquishing the Bible, but given its condition and historical significance, "it seemed like the reasonable thing to do."
The Bible is now on display in the exhibit "Changing America: The Emancipation Proclamation, 1863 and the March on Washington, 1963" at the National Museum of American History. But it will become part of the black history museum's permanent collection.
Ellis said blacks and whites might look at the artifact very differently.
"It's challenging," he said, "interpreting our history from a perspective that may seem to be maligning one community, while trying to support another with a symbol of dignity and freedom."

Its value derives from providing our customers with quality service, enhanced partnerships, problem-solving strategies and the support necessary for the prevention of crime and reduction of fear of crime. The Commissions foster and maintain ethics and integrity, encourage continuous learning, and treat everyone with dignity and respect. To this end, the PCTC is now housed in the comprehensive Public Safety Education and Training Center. Other agency responsibilities include administration of the Maryland Community Crime Prevention Institute and the Leadership Development Institute. The Police and Correctional Training Commissions administer the following programs:
- Correctional Entrance Level Training Program

The Public Safety Education and Training Center in Carroll County, Maryland, provides training for state and local public safety officers by:
- Providing state-of-the-art driver training
- Offering comprehensive firearms instruction
- Renovating vacant buildings into classrooms and offices
- Supporting crime prevention educational programming
Administration of The Public Safety Education and Training Center is provided by the Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commissions. The Commissions are the primary providers of correctional entrance level, and mandated police and correctional administrator, supervisor and instructor training in Maryland.
With the support of many professional law enforcement organizations in Maryland, the 1966 Maryland General Assembly established the Police Training Commission. Its composition, authority and responsibilities are set forth in Ann. Code of Md., Public Safety Article, §3-201 et seq. In 1971, following the police lead, correctional organizations encouraged the creation of a Correctional Training Commission, Ann. Code of Md., Correctional Services Article, §8-201 et seq. Although they are separate entities under the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, both Commissions are served by a single Executive Director and Agency staff. The Maryland Police and Correctional Training Commissions are vested with the authority to set standards of initial selection and training for all governmental law enforcement, correctional and parole and probation and juvenile justice officers in the State of Maryland, and to otherwise upgrade the professionalism of these officers.
Maryland was the 23rd state in the Union to adopt some type of legislation to provide police and correctional training on a statewide basis. It was the 6th state to make compliance with minimum standards mandatory. It was the 1st state to require correctional standards on a statewide basis.

It's nearly summer – although you can't tell from the RAIN outside. My skin is still as dry as anything but as it warms up, I find more and more use for pretty powders.
I purchased 2 powders from Skinfood a while ago but have only just had the chance to open them to give them a go! They are both sunny themed – one is a bronzer (pretty rare where Korean or indeed Asian brands are concerned) and the other is a SPF face powder ('Pact'):
I introduce the Seaweed Shining Bronzer Pact and Red Orange Sun Pact SPF 50+. So one is for setting make up, absorbing oil and protecting from the sun, the other is to bronze yourself up! I like the packaging for both – what about you?
First off, let's look at the Red Orange Sun Pact. In case you didn't know Skinfood is a Korean brand who makes skincare and cosmetics. All of their products are related to food in some way – some are plain weird like Black Garlic or Cheese, some are far more nice like Black Sugar or Bananas!
Red orange is a very nice one. This powder is a translucent whitish hue with the scent of tangy oranges which is lovely. The packaging is clever, with a flip up plastic lid which protects the mirror.
I've used this a few times as a very light setting powder and it works quite well although I feel that you can see the whitish element to it – so if you are olive or dark skinned, I think this will look ashy and totally forget it if you want to appear in photos! But pale girls will fair better.
I like the fact is has high SPF but could it realistically be the only SPF you have in sunny weather – nah, I wouldn't put my faith in this powder for that. After all for a natural effect you should only be applying a small amount.
The Seaweed collection from Skinfood caught my eye right away – I love the quirky ranges (this selection also has a waterproof mascara, some waterproof eyeliners etc – the emphasis on summery make up).
There aren't a ton of true bronzers on the Asian market – indeed, most women over there prefer to be pale and interesting.
This is the colour of the bronzer:
I detected orange in it at first sight but actually it's a really nice natural warming powder. It is quite sheer, has a faint shimmer and is somewhere inbetween peach and brown. It's very nice and on most complexions will comes across as a warm bronzy glow.
It comes with this brush:
Here are the swatches – I would plump for the bronzer as being a pretty blush, I wouldn't use it to contour, and the sun pact I would use in the summer very lightly on my t-zone only.
All in all, just some quirky little finds from eBay!
Would you try either of these powders?

Let them eat gauze
2012 has been a crazy year in presidential politics, from Rick Perry's suggestion that Texas might secede from the Union to Rick Santorum railing against all forms of birth control to Newt Gingrich's talk of an American colony on the moon by the end of his second term. While that is unlikely to occur in the foreseeable future – either a lunar colony or a Gingrich presidency – those bizarre notions might have been surpassed this week by the Republican nominee for president, former Gov. Mitt Romney, who appeared on the CBS News program 60 Minutes.
When answering a question from correspondent Scott Pelley about the responsibility to provide care for the 50 million Americans without health insurance, Romney rejected the suggestion those uninsured are doing without.
"We do provide care for people who don't have insurance," he said. "If someone has a heart attack, they don't sit in their apartment and die. We pick them up in an ambulance, and take them to the hospital, and give them care. And different states have different ways of providing for that care. … Some provide that care through clinics. Some provide the care through emergency rooms."
That spraying sound you may have heard was ER doctors, nurses and admitting clerks around the country doing a spit take at Romney's outlandish and uninformed statement. No doubt the staff and administrators of hospitals here in Southeast Texas were equally dismayed at the notion that it is somehow acceptable for the ER to be the medical facility of first – not last – resort. ERs are the most expensive and inefficient means of delivering routine health care – and clearly not the place to provide preventive care and address chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. Left untreated, they cause serious complications, exacting both a human and financial toll that should be unacceptable to all but the most fervent social Darwinists.
Opposition to the ER-as-panacea idea was immediate, but one earlier rebuttal came from an unlikely source – Romney himself.
"Look, it doesn't make a lot of sense for us to have millions and millions of people who have no health insurance and yet who can go to the emergency room and get entirely free care for which they have no responsibility," he said in a March 2010 interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Romney should know it is not "entirely free care." It is subsidized by state and local taxpayers and through higher premiums on those who do have health insurance.The problem is the rabid GOP opposition to the Affordable Care Act of 2010 contained no ideas whatsoever as to what might take its place. After a primary season when Romney and his rivals scrambled to outdo each other in their rejection of what they derisively termed "Obamacare," their nominee is left with nothing better than sending people to the ER – again demonstrating how out of touch Romney is with the lives of average Americans.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this message bioard and desperately looking for some IVF buddies for this cycle to share my experienced with.
This is my fourth cycle after three IVF and one FET transfer. All of them BFN - did not even make it to the PT. I have issues with my tubes from a misdiagnosed EP and cannot conceive naturally. DH aoppears to be fine.
After my third IVF, I did all of the test, uteran scan, etc. - nothing. After my failed FET, I also did all the expensive immunology test - nothing but a little risk for blood clodding and a need to add Heparin to the meds.
I am about to undergo my last IVF cycle. Lucky Number 5. First day was August 14, 2009. Our doctor suggested to leave FET and go back to the full IVF for best results. Ou embryos have always been A or B quality, never any issues. Inplantation just never occurred.
Anyone up to share during this cycle?

Rome, Italy
Rome – the very word conjures up gladiators, ancient civilizations, the Pantheon, Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain, pasta, wine and of course the Pope! By choosing a Mediterranean cruise you open yourself up to a world where time stands still, yet it moves forward, as on Via Condotti, where Italy's fashion designers call home. Upon entering this glorious city, it's hard not get goose bumps as you pass the Coliseum and find yourself immersed in thoughts of Julius or Augustus wandering these very corners; a true piece of world history before your eyes.
One of the world's best preserved ancient buildings, the Pantheon, is home to the tomb of the painter Raphael. Go inside and be stunned by the magnitude of this building – a perfectly shaped dome some two-thousand years ago. Cross the Tiber and get a chill as you enter the Sistine Chapel – Michelangelo's greatest accomplishment – be sure to remain quiet or one of the guards will utter their famous admonition, "Silenzio!" Often overlooked, book an appointment with the Vatican and be taken three stories underneath St. Peter's Basilica to view the relics of St. Peter, and see where the original church was built. When you exit you are on the same level as the Pope's crypts. Walk past Pope John Paul ll's crypt and see how his legacy lasts with flowers and tokens placed on his tomb. During some free time after a visit to the Vatican, wander Via Cola di Rienzo, a 15 minute walk away. This is where Romans shop – clothing stores, specialty stores and a market all at your fingertips. Make sure to bring a Roman treat home from Castroni, which some call Rome's finest food store.
Treat yourself and choose a cruise embarking or disembarking in this magical city. That way you can spend a few days following the footsteps of famous Romans, and explore so much more beyond Vatican City. Spend evenings wandering cobblestone streets with Romans and dine on some of the best fare Italy has to offer, from pizza at a sidewalk vendor to the very best restaurants overlooking the Eternal City. Delight your taste buds at a gelateria offering over 100 flavors of the frozen treat, or visit a traditional enoteca to sample fine local wines…it's your choice! And remember to toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain for the eternal wish of a return to Rome. There are many "old" new corners to explore in this gift of a city.

WAG to Offer Free Admission on Louis Riel Day
Winnipeg, February 12, 2013: The Winnipeg Art Gallery is offering free admission from 11am to 5pm on Louis Riel Day, Monday, February 18, in honour of its Centennial.
"The WAG is normally closed on Mondays," says Executive Director Stephen Borys, "but we are celebrating our 100th birthday and we want to be the one giving the presents. Whether our visitors like Old Masters, contemporary photography, Inuit sculpture, decorative art, whatever, I guarantee they will see something that truly appeals to them. And, quite possibly, something they never thought they'd like that absolutely grabs them. That's the power of art, it opens one's mind and eyes to something new and unexpected."
The highlight exhibition on view on Louis Riel Day is Creation & Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art. It's a fascinating look at the history of Inuit art over the past six decades—artistic developments, influential artists, new media. The 115 artworks—sculpture, prints, drawings, textile art—are drawn from the WAG's Inuit art collection. The WAG has been collecting Inuit art since 1957 and now has the largest collection of contemporary Inuit art in the world.
The Gallery will also be open the following days in 2013: Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, August Civic Holiday, Remembrance Day (open at 1pm), Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, and New Year's Day.
Other exhibitions WAG visitors will see on Louis Riel Day.
The WAG Century • Archival materials, a digital timeline, photographs, architectural models, and works of art chart the WAG's history over its first 100 years, and the key events that have shaped Canada's oldest civic art gallery.
All in the Family • An exhibition of works from the WAG's photography collection that question and redefine our notions of what constitutes "family."
Janet Cardiff: Forty Part Motet • This brilliant, award-winning sound sculpture reworks Spem in Alium by 16th century English composer Thomas Tallis. Involving 40 separately recorded choir voices played back through 40 speakers positioned specifically around the gallery, the 14-minute work creates a deeply moving effect on visitors.
The Collection on View • Six exhibitions of works from the WAG collection span 400 years from the Renaissance and Baroque through to the 20th century.
The Winnipeg Art Gallery is celebrating its Centennial year with an unparalleled series of exhibitions, programs, and events promoting the power of art in life. As Manitoba's leading art museum, the WAG is home to over 26,000 works of art spanning ten centuries, including the world's preeminent collection of contemporary Inuit art.
The Winnipeg Art Gallery is grateful for the support of the following Centennial sponsors: BMO Financial Group, The Winnipeg Foundation, the Department of Canadian Heritage, TD Bank, James Richardson & Sons Ltd., MTS Allstream, Johnston Group, Air Canada, RBC Royal Bank, PACART, Great-West Life, Friesens, Manitoba Culture Heritage and Tourism, City of Winnipeg, Investors Group, Scotiabank, Volunteer Associates of the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Storm Bistro, Manitoba Lotteries Corporation, Ernst & Young, Fort Garry Hotel, KPMG, Lawton Partners, Loewen, Parrish & Heinbecker, Aikins Law, AON, Cambrian Credit Union, Manitoba Blue Cross, National Leasing, CP Loewen, North West Company, NRG Management.

OK, guys. I didn't get as far as I'd hoped. But we have at least something to start playing with.
We're gonna camp out temporarily on http://journalfen.com instead of .net for a while, so I can work on getting more functions ready for us on our usual .net site. When the time comes, we should be able to import what we want from .com when the regular .net is ready.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get community info (members and maintainers) imported properly. We're going to have to re-friend people, too, sadly. And we don't have our user icons, either. Yeah, it's a long list of what we don't have, I know. Trying to import that info through the command line and in mysql made me keep crashing the database. And we can't have that while we're just trying to post and do things as normal.
So a lot of what we're doing will be from scratch for a while. But it is a place to start posting again in some way.
To get started, you'll need to go through the lost info steps to reset your password. And it will probably tell you to confirm your email address again. But it does work (mail notifications is something that is actually working pretty well, knock on wood), and so you can quickly get access to your account to start customizing again and finding your friends.
I'm sorry I couldn't get more functions ready for us by today. I tried!
Oh, and if anyone is interested in signing on as a sort of VP of sorts, to help with admin stuff and helping with ideas for us to grow and do cool things, let me know... I could really use the help!
I'll announce something in a few on our main jf .net page, FYI, so that more people will know where we're temporarily setting up shop.
Thanks again, everyone!
