An animal sanctuary could be forced to close if it does not receive a fresh injection of cash.
Two Oaks Pony Sanctuary in Northchurch has been running since 2006, and in that time has rescued hundreds of of abused, neglected and unwanted animals, including ponies, ex-battery chickens, pigs and goats.
The charity has now set up a JustGiving page for its Winter Feed Appeal.
Owner Carol Houlihan said: "I find myself when I sit here looking at all these lovely animals - all friends and happy and healthy.
"Looking at Tonto, remembering the day that I first saw his sad-looking face, the words the vets said the day he arrived. They said he would not last two weeks. Well he proved them wrong, eight years on and he is still going strong.
"These animals deserve the best and now I am struggling, but I am trying to fight for each and every one of them.
"I will do my best to keep all of them together as one big happy family."
Carol estimates that the animals taken by the charity includes 119 horses and ponies plus 26 feral cats.
However there are a number of costs involved in takingin for the various animals and caring for them.
Carol added: "Some of them have overcome their past and have been turned into a loving and beautiful creature which has gone onto being loved and cherished.
"Then comes the bit that everyone then says - if only I could have done something more to save you, tried that bit harder, maybe got to you sooner, than maybe you may have stood a chance.
"I know I can't save them all. But knowing I tried my hardest, it makes me more determined to help and save more."

Sweet peas are beautiful, flowering stalks with a fragrance that captivates any passers-by. They're native to Sicily, dating back to 1699, when monk and amateur botanist Francis Cupani first publicly shared seed from his namesake variety. Sweet peas make delicate cut flowers, lasting only a few days in a vase, but their fragrance fills the room. Takes patience and dark, cool conditions to germinate them—soak seed overnight before planting. Likes full sun but cool roots, so mulching is recommended.

Synopsis for "Shoot-Out In Central Park!"
While fighting the Tarantula, Spider-Man finds himself under the gun of the Punisher, who believes that the wall-crawler is in on the kidnapping of the ship's crew. The Tarantula allows the Punisher to believe this, prompting a fight between Spider-Man and the Punisher allowing the Tarantula and his men to escape. When the Punisher realizes that he's been duped, he stops his fight with Spider-Man and tells the wall-crawler to meet him at midnight at the museum in Fort Tryon before jumping overboard. Spider-Man flees the ship when the crew (who still believe that he had something to do with the hijacking) crowd around him. He changes into Peter Parker in the water and pretends that he needs to be rescued. He manages to convince Mary Jane that he was knocked overboard, however, he fails to convince Flash Thompson, who is becoming suspicious of Peter's double identity.
After phoning Jameson to report that Spider-Man saved the cruise and that he got pictures of Spider-Man's fight with the Tarantula. While he showers in his apartment later, he doesn't hear Harry sneak into his room and snoop around for his Spider-Man costume. When Harry finds it, he is convinced that Peter is really Spider-Man and quietly leaves.
At midnight, Spider-Man meets with the Punisher at their designated meeting place, where the Punisher shows Spider-Man slides of the Tarantula telling Spider-Man of his origins: How he was a member of freedom fighters in a South American country, however, his violent ways had him kicked out of the group of revolutionaries. The Tarantula would eventually change sides and be turned into his countries answer to Captain America to fight the revolutionaries. However, his love of violence would get him in hot water with his leaders again, and so he had fled the country to the United States, where he set himself up as a mercenary.
With Spider-Man briefed, the two go after the Tarantula attacking his safe house, the Punisher with the help of Spider-Man defeats the Tarantula and his men. After they have been bound up, the Punisher bids farewell to the wall-crawler. While at the warehouse that Spider-Man had his final battle against the original Green Goblin, Harry Osborn has come to collect his father's device, to get revenge against the man who killed him -- Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man.
Continuity Notes
- The Punisher recounts his last interaction with Spider-Man in Amazing Spider-Man #129
- One of the ship's crew states they haven't had anyone fall off the ship since 1956. This should be considered a topical reference per the Sliding Timescale of Earth-616.
- The narrative of this story mentions the apparent death of Norman Osborn. A complicated matter that occurred during the events of Amazing Spider-Man #121-123. As the Green Goblin, Norman was responsible for the death of Peter's girlfriend Gwen Stacy. Norman died shortly thereafter. His son Harry recovered his costume so nobody would connect his father to the Green Goblin. However, unknown to all, Norman is still alive thanks to his enhanced healing abilities as revealed in Spider-Man: The Osborn Journal #1, he will resurface in Amazing Spider-Man #412.
- The Punisher states that he used to have ideals, but that is a long story. The Punisher's origins are revealed in Marvel Preview #2, wherein it is told that Frank Castle became the Punisher after his family was killed by mobsters.
Chronology Notes
A flashback in this story affects the chronology of the following characters:
- Punisher says Tarantula's real surname alternatively as Rodriquez and Rodriques.

In emergency situations, some children feel comfortable with his thumb in his mouth. But we need to get rid of this habit, because it is fraught with some of the consequences. To a minor nuisance thumb-sucking may include blisters or impetigo. Towards a more significant: the displaced teeth and perhaps even the appearance of stigmata that occur in children when they start going to nursery or kindergarten.
Look for an opportunity to turn the attention of the child, without making a fuss because of this habit.

Inside of a 1000lx bulb LED
Sunday, February 26, 2017 Add Comment Edit
Since this Livarno bulb refused to work after few months of fine operation I decided to dismount it.
Power supply was covered in rubber and it take a while to clean it between the components.
32 LEDs are used for this bulb. I've tested few of them with a 5V power supply and are very bright (don't look at them since is not a nice feeling after that)
Here is the power supply. Still has rubber left between components.

Who We Are
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fisheries Program has played a vital role in conserving America's fisheries since 1871, partnering with states, tribes, federal agencies, other Service programs, and private interests in efforts to conserve fish and other aquatic resources. The Fisheries Program provides a broad network of on-the-ground expertise that is unique in its geographic coverage, its array of scientific capabilities, and its ability to work strategically across political and jurisdictional boundaries.
How We Help
The Ashland Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office conserves, protects, and restores native fish and wildlife resources and the habitats they rely on in the Lake Superior basin for the benefit of future generations. We provide technical conservation assistance in the areas of native species restoration, survey and assessment design, prevention, control, and response to the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species, fish passage and aquatic habitat restoration, and tribal relations and support.
Tribal Trust Responsibilities
Conserving U.S. fish and other aquatic resources cannot be successful without the partnership of tribes. They manage or influence some of the most important aquatic habitats both on and off reservations. In addition, the federal government and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have distinct and unique obligations toward tribes based on trust responsibility, treaty provisions, and statutory mandates.
The Ashland Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office works with many Native American tribes, and Inter-Tribal Authorities and Commissions across the Lake Superior basin and surrounding areas in managing, protecting, and restoring fish and wildlife resources. The Ashland Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office provides technical assistance and expertise across a variety of natural resource issues on lands and waters ceded under the 1836, 1837, 1842, and 1854 Treaties between the United States and Ojibwe bands.

Story by Sgt. Duncan Brennan
From 101st Combat Aviation Brigade
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — At first glance, Army electronic warfare may sound like a bunch of soldiers huddled around computers defeating hackers, but the truth is closer to the front lines and closer to science fiction than you may believe.
In the Army, the soldiers that perform the duties of electronic warfare are often influencing the battlefield from behind the scenes by interrupting enemy communication and defeating radio detonated improvised explosive devices.
"Electronic warfare is manipulating the electromagnetic spectrum for our benefit," said Sgt. 1St Class John Wink, 101st Combat Aviation Brigade's electronic warfare non-commissioned officer in charge. "We request the manipulation of frequencies such as wireless entry, radio, and TV waves to gain an advantage in battle."
"The text book answer is, 'Electronic warfare is defined as military action involving the use of electromagnetic and directed energy to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy,'" said Staff Sgt. Frank Dill, 506th Infantry's electronic warfare non-commissioned officer in charge.
The electromagnetic spectrum includes wireless signals, radio, TV and it also includes lasers, microwaves and radar.
The technology and expertise allowing the Army to be more successful on the battlefield just recently developed, said Dill. Electronic warfare was envisioned as an Army occupation in 2007 and became an actual job in 2010.
The devices that electronic warfare specialists have at their disposal are often classified, but a few were showcased in the Business Insider. Among them are some devices that could be at home in any science-fiction movie.
The "heat ray," designed to be used as a non-lethal, crowd-dispersion tool and the "phasr," a laser system introduced by the Air Force to temporarily blind an enemy are two devices which have recently been added to the electronic warfare arsenal.
The most widespread devices are those that interfere with communications, most notably the counter radio-controlled IED electronic warfare systems, which interfere with the enemy's ability to employ and detonate radio-controlled IEDs, said Wink.
In the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, the electronic warfare mission must adjust to aviation.
"I am implementing a proactive system of employing electronic warfare assets on aircraft to assist the brigades on the ground," said Wink. "I'm also responsible for educating ground commanders about the employment and requesting of EW assets on the battlefield."
Despite the movement of the Army towards a more technologically capable force, electronic warfare soldiers still encounter resistance to their mission.
"Infantry guys have weapons that have a demonstrable effect on the target," said Staff Sgt. Mariah Parks, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 101st CAB intelligence analyst. "Electronic warfare does not have an effect that can be immediately seen unless we employ lethal means. Electronic warfare is a preventative specialty, much like preventative medicine. Instead of attempting to keep soldiers from getting sick, we attempt to keep soldiers from getting blown up by enemy IEDs and keeping the enemy from being able to coordinate complex attacks."
Because of their inability to show results like an enemy emplacement being blown up, it is difficult for some to see nothing happening as a measure of success.
"We have to wait for feedback from communications and intel sections that our effects have been observed," said Wink. "A successful mission for us can sometimes be measured by the fact nothing bad happens on someone else' mission."
Electronic warfare soldiers take the technology and go one step further by coming up with the basis for how the Army will bring age-old strategies of harrying enemies into the 21st century.
"We will be able to shape future training and employment of electronic warfare assets for a combat aviation brigade by analyzing how we employ electronic warfare assets during this [upcoming] deployment," said Wink. "We will be ensuring electronic warfare training gets integrated into all levels of training. Researching potential EW threats and developing ways to mitigate electromagnetic threats are an essential part of electronic warfare's mission success."
Through education, integration and training, the electronic warfare section of the 101st CAB seeks to be at the forefront of developing the electronic warfare mission for the Army.
"I will be working to better integrate electronic warfare operations into the intelligence operations within the Destiny Brigade and setting the example for electronic warfare integration for our fellow brigades in the 101st Airborne Division," said Parks.
At the end of the day, the soldiers executing the electronic warfare mission are taking new technologies and employing them to give front-line forces new tools and techniques to ensure mission success.

Holly and Rodney Peete Host Star Studded Gala
Now in its 18th year, the Annual Design Care Gala featured a special musical performance by Ledisi and Joshua Ledet, and a fashion show by designer Michael Costello.
The Gala also honored Chris Paul (NBA – Los Angeles Clippers) with the 2016 HollyRod Autism Angel on the Path Award, Latonzia Montgomery (mother of three children with autism) with the 2016 HollyRod Autism Champion Award, Kevin Keller (Board member, Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism) with the 2016 HollyRod Autism Champion Award, and Target with the 2016 HollyRod Corporate Champion Award.
Inspired by a father and a son, HollyRod Foundation was formed in 1997 by actress, Holly Robinson Peete and her husband former NFL quarterback, Rodney Peete.
The HollyRod Foundation is dedicated to providing help and hope to those living with autism and Parkinson's disease.
In honor of Holly's father, Matthew T. Robinson Jr., HollyRod partnered with the Center for Parkinson's Research and Movement Disorders at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California to establish The HollyRod Compassionate Care Program with the mission to improve the quality of life of people with Parkinson's. The program provides patient services including physician consultations, physical therapy, counseling services and ambulation aids to those who have little or no healthcare insurance and limited financial resources.
After Holly and Rodney's eldest son, RJ, was diagnosed with autism, HollyRod's mission expanded to provide support and resources to families also affected by an autism diagnosis. Like Parkinson's, autism can decimate families physically, emotionally and most of all financially.

Tansin Benn (England)
She first joined IAPESGW in 1973 at the World congress that took place in Iran, in that moment she was a student participating in dance demonstration. She has travelled extensively in a professional capacity on all continents of the world and she has had a particular input in many Middle East countries, for example Iran, Egypt, Oman, Libya, Syria, UAE and Qatar.
Tansin's main focus of research has been on gender, cultural diversity, inclusion and ethnicity, specifically - increasing opportunities for Muslim girls and women to participate in physical education and sport. Publications have included books and articles in many academic and pedagogical journals on issues of inclusion, cultural diversity, gender, religion and ethnicity, learning and teaching in sport and physical education. She has been an advocate to promote the Acceptance and Respect Declaration that was the product of the Qatar Symposium on the history of women's sport and NGOs. She coordinated the first book on Muslin Women in sport and recently she is one of the editors of the book Women and sport in Latin America.
She won a prestigious Leverhulme Research Fellowship award in 2008 to work with Women in Teacher Training for Physical Education in Oman. In 2011 she won the Philip Noel-Baker Research Award (ICSSPE), 2012 the Outstanding Contribution Award of the Muslim Women's Sport Foundation (UK), and in 2013, the Women's Sport Foundation (US) Darlene A. Kluka Women's Sports and Physical Activity Research Award. She also developed a world-first customised, part-time post graduate study opportunity for international professional dancers of The Birmingham Royal Ballet Company with Birmingham University UK from 1997 – 2013. She is currently a volunteer with Age UK in the area of Ageing and Physical Activity.
She led IAPESGW, as its President, (2009–2013) and continued to support the Association as Chair of the Committee of Consultants on IAPESGW's Executive Board (2013 – 2017).
Gertrud Pfister (Germany)
Gertrud Pfister has been a member, Executive Board member, and long-term active consultant with IAPESGW for over 25 years. In 1993, she headed the Association's Committee of Consultants, and other examples of her contributions include co-authoring the 50 years Commemorative book 'Honoring the Legacy, 50 years of IAPESGW' 1949 – 1999', with Ann Hall. She was a vital member of the Oman Symposium in 2008, which led to the 'Accept and Respect' declaration and was co-editor of the Routledge book that emerged from that event: 'Muslim Women and Sport'. She was also key to the Alexandria University Symposium, Egypt, in 2010, and has represented the organisation in many ways, for example in a group workshop event in Tehran. Gertrud organised the first History of Women's Sport Conference in Qatar in 2011 and recommended IAPESGW had an invited spot in that event as the first International Association to be established for girls and women. Other activities include the leadership of the Copenhagen Summer School for the PhD students where IAPESGW has been one of the organisations invited to recommend students. In this recent quadrennial Gertrud again 'stepped up' for IAPESGW as one of the co-editors of the Routledge Book 'Women and Sport in Latin America'. Gertrud has been a recipient of the Dorothy Ainsworth Research Award and now her continued efforts for the Association have led to this Award of Honorary Life membership.
Awarded to individuals in recognition of sustained contribution to scholarly research that furthers the aims of the Association.
Anneliese Goslin (South Africa)
Anneliese has an impressive academic history over long years of service as administrator, researcher, mentor, leader, reviewer, editor.
She has connected gender issues with sport management, equity, recreation & leisure, education, coaching, sport for all, and dance.
She has been connected with IAPESGW for many years and has represented IAPESGW in various places. She has Chaired the Scientific Committee of the World Congress quadrennial events in South Africa 2009 and Miami 2017.
She has published in journals from different regions of the world and is connected with various international organizations. Anneliese has contributed in all fields possible to support the aims of IAPESGW.
Awarded to individuals who have demonstrated active leadership, especially with regard to international understanding and relationships that further the aims of the Association.
Carole Oglesby (USA)
Carole has received major merits within and beyond the USA for her years of dedication to supporting women and sport for over 40 years, since the 1970s, also enjoying life as an athlete and coach. Most recently her work has been acknowledged with a major award from the IOC. Her leadership in the 'women and sport' international community has been impressive over many years and continues today. Her long and continuing commitment and leadership to pursuing co-operation and continued development of international work for women and sport makes her a worthy winner of the International leadership Award. It is particularly pertinent for Carole because from 1972 – 75 she was on the faculty at the University of Massachusetts where Lynn Vendien was co-chairing a Women's Physical Education Department with Betty Spears for a short time. These were her first mentors and Lynn Vendien guided Carole into international interests and her first international conference in Jyvaskyla Finland, which ensured she was 'hooked'.
Awarded to individuals or organisations whose work has resulted in a legacy of positive influence on the lives of girls and women through physical education or sport. This can be at local, national or international level.
Makoto Takahashi (Japan)
Makoto has devoted herself entirely to gymnastics and dance for girls and women in communities since the 1960s. She is regarded as a pioneer of Japanese community dancing for all ages. The number of community dance leaders and teachers who have been taught by her across Japan is over 30,000.
She began lecturing in 1970s, later becoming a Professor. She contributed for JAPEW including Vice President for many years. Here she persevere to widen the reach of dance education to include dance in the Community. She founded the Movement that led to the Japan Rhythm Movement Leaders' Association and since retiring she continues to lead a dance performance group (which we saw performing the first night) and exercise groups for older people. Her influence and achievements are enormous.
She has attended IAPESGW Congress since 1980s. Her daughters - Roka Ida and Anri Tanaka, have followed her footsteps - bringing workshops and displays to IAPESGW events. Her vision and perseverance in bringing enjoyable movement experiences to Japanese communities has ensured a legacy that will continue to benefit the lives of girls and women for years to come.
Awarded to honour a respected dance practitioner / researcher and / or teacher who has sustained a strong reputation over many years and continues to work in the field of Dance in Education.

(Outstanding contribution to IAPESGW)
The IAPESGW awards Honorary Life Membership to members who have made a significant, sustained and outstanding contribution to the work of the Association.
Recipient 2009 - Doreen Solomans
Doreen Solomons has been an IAPESGW member since 1977 and has enjoyed the many international friendships developed over the years. She was an Executive Board member from 1999 to 2009 and in 2005 gave a stunning bid presentation to IAPESGW Congress in Edmonton, Canada, which took IAPESGW to South Africa for Congress 2009.

Through her positions in teacher education and especially as Principal of Chelsea College of Physical Education, she was a respected mentor of thousands of women, not only in the UK, but from all over the world, since Chelsea provided post-experience training for overseas students.
The Award in her name was made for the first time at the 2005 Congress, to Doreen Solomons and her wonderful South African teacher dance group, who not only performed for and delighted Congress participants, but also demonstrated international collaboration, and what could be achieved by committed teachers who were not specialists in dance, but merely were led by a love for the and understanding of movement.
Audrey would have loved to watch South African teachers demonstrating the national (Irish!) dances she had taught Doreen, decades previously – a genuinely lasting legacy of talented teaching and joyous learning.
The Audrey Bambra Award was established to reward a member or group of members of the Association who have demonstrated commitment to the learning process and pedagogy, and have passed this on to others, whether in their own neighbourhoods or countries, or internationally, over a sustained period of time.

I'm sure everyone is familiar with "Murphy's Law", but did you know the original concept is much older, and was once known as "Sod's Law"? As in whatever pitiful sod least needed something bad to happen, something would surely happen to him. {If anyone is equally as nerdy as I, here's the link to the history of Murphy's Law/Sod's Law.} I'm feeling a little bit that way today. Of course, I'm also being melodramatic and whiny, but still… feeling a bit like a poor sod.
Some time back our windshield wiper fluid stopped spraying. We kept putting off going to get it fixed because the dealership is out in far west-central Columbus and nearly an hour drive for us here on the north side. {I don't do freeways.} Compounded, of course, with the general hassle of taking a car to the mechanic. Since we had an extended warranty, which I know are the devil and I will never purchase again, we had to go to that specific dealership for the work. After waiting two hours we were told they didn't have the part, but our warranty would cover it after the $100 deductible. Oh, and btw… we needed an air filter, cabin air filer and tune up.
They asked if I'd like them to do it and I responded with "No, not today." I proceeded to leave the dealership and drive back to the mechanic right next to my apartment building. He's a great guy that does great work… and I can wait in my living room instead of sitting in a garage waiting room. He checked it out and concurred with their determination and called to let me know.
So, alright… go ahead and fix it. Almost $300 later I have a car with two fresh filters and a tune up. That's an incredibly unentertaining way to drop a chunk of change. We finally get some savings going and BAM, car trouble. That's the whole feeling like a sod part. By the time we pay the deductible at the dealership we're going to be out almost $400 for it. Kind of depressing to put $400 in my car's tailpipe and blow it out, but not nearly as depressing as it would be for this car to stop working anytime in the near future. Once I get it paid off, I want to drive this thing forever.
There IS a bright side and some connection to the blog, though. The bright side is that having been reasonably careful and reasonably frugal, we were able to cover the expense. There have been times… many times… in our marriage where that would not have been true. Times when we were making enough money that we shouldn't have had a problem, but we would have. So, bummed though I am about my emptied out pockets, I am deeply, deeply thankful we are able to pay for the repairs, take care of the car, and keep driving safely. Never forget to look for the silver lining in every cloud.

Yes, yes, I've been a slacker, but I have undertaken a few more ventures in my already too-packed life and so my poor blog has had to suffer until I got everything up and running – so, here we go!
The blog may have been MIA but that certainly does not mean that the Crappy Kitchen was collecting dust: I have been cooking up a storm most nights and here is something that I was begged to cook by my son. He had a longing for something I rarely cook, beef, so I succumbed and made something that would please everyone: a whole wok-full of thinly sliced stir-fry beef with rice.
It was delicious beyond belief and even thought it is a tabu food on my particular diet (Blood Type A) I couldn't help "test tasting" a little more than was good for me!
You will need:
3 or so tbs vegetable or grapeseed oil (more if needed)
2 lbs beef, very thinly sliced – not shaved (NY stripe or flank steak is good)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper flakes (chili flakes)
2 tsp granulated sugar
10 scallions, including green parts, sliced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped (use 3 if large)
8 oz mung bean sprouts
1 cup grated or matchstick carrots
4 cups chopped spinach
6 cups cooked basmati rice
*This is a good time to use that leftover rice – it can be added to the dish straight from the refrigerator. If you do not have rice cooked, put it on to cook first thing. If using a rice cooker (as I do!), cook a 3 cup measure of rice. If cooking on the stove top, use two cups and follow instructions on your rice bag*
1 – Mix the soy, mirin, sesame oil, pepper flakes and sugar in a large bowl and add the beef slices. Cover and set aside in the fridge while you prep the rest of the ingredients. Put large saute pan or wok on high heat. When it is very hot, add 2 tbs of oil and add 1/3 of the beef, shaking off the excess marinade and distributing it over the entire surface of the pan. Let it cook for a minute (do not touch it as it sizzles!). Turn and shake the meat about and cook for another minute or two until cooked. Test a piece by eating – it should be tender and soft. Transfer to a bowl. Add more oil and continue to cook the beef in batches until it is all done. Reserve the marinade that is left in the bowl to be used later.
2 – If the pan is very dark and blackened on the bottom, you may want to give it a quick cleaning before you continue. Add a little more oil and with the pan on high heat, add the scallions, garlic and carrots. cook for two minutes, stirring often.
3 – Add the bean sprouts and continue to cook for 1 more minute.
4 – Add the chopped spinach and cook for about 30 seconds before adding the rice. Stir everything together and cook until rice is hot.
5 – Add the beef and its accumulated juices, as well as the rest of the marinade. Mix well and turn off heat. Taste for addition of more soy sauce or a soy sauce and mirin mixture.
Serve immediately in warmed bowls with more soy sauce and a dose of sriracha sauce if that is your thing!

Few games carry the hype that Xenoblade Chronicles had behind it. Sure, we might say that we're excited for a game come out, but it is rare to see a fan based movement such as Operation Rainfall help localize a game that won critical and consumer hearts in Japan. But Xenoblade Chronicles is this type of game, and while it's not perfect, it is a solid JRPG that was more than worth the wait and one of the best RPGs in recent memory.
This review isnt very good
"This isn't the JRPG you may know from twenty years ago. Heck, this isn't even the JRPG you know from last year. Xenoblade Chronicles combines the narrative, aesthetics, depth, and charm of a JRPG with the modern features we've seen from Western RPGs and MMOs, "
This is just sensationalism filabustering………….hack, draogn quest IX, ff 12 are all very similar. Yet we cant mention them
There is nothing western rpg about it. MMO, yes but thats a multi region thing

Well, it has been a busy old time, with all manner of works happening, both here on the farm and out in the world. Having left the world of making websites behind, I have made a little foray back into the business to produce a site for Northern Ireland Community Energy, who are a community owned enterprise providing solar panels to charitable organisations. Their first share offer has now opened, and I'm sure they will be hugely successful. The website is here – www.nicommunityenergy.org, and you can watch their launch at Stormont below –

Here's a two-disc compilation I made years ago, information pills with the help of some of my co-workers at Cinefile Video, order the speciality video store in Los Angeles which I continue to manage. It's in the same vein as the last three posts (all audio rips from obscure and/or stupid films) — there's just more of it!
I broke it down into two halves — those tracks with vocals, pilule and those without.
Films I took stuff from include: Megaforce, Lost Horizon (the musical version), Sextette, Zardoz, Phase IV, Human Highway, Mistress of the Apes, Ishtar, Tapeheads, Mister Scarface, The Stuff, Can Hieronymous Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe And Find True Happiness?, and Friday The 13th Part 3.
There's much more movie audio material out there for me to wade through, so hopefully I'll put together some more posts like this in the coming months.

Crystal Castles
On November 3, the Kool Haus in Toronto was full of dark, brooding electronic music enthusiasts for the Crystal Castles show.
Since HEALTH was unable to continue touring with the band, Toronto-based Kontravoid took the space as opener. Donning a black suit, a mask, and a poppy in lieu of Remembrance Day, Kontravoid took to the stage and promptly began to churn out 'beats'. At first, the bass was pulsating and had me captivated, but as his set continued, it became apparent that there was nothing more to his music but the bass – and an overtly loud and obnoxious one, at that. After what seemed like a never-ending stream of a constant, unchanging beat, the set was over and my ears were saved by a mix of old school hip-hop that was put on as a buffer before Crystal Castles began.
The wait between Kontravoid's and Crystal Castles' set seemed longer than it actually was. The crowd even began chanting "We want Alice! We want Alice!". Eventually, the duo came on stage, immediately following a cloud of fog that lingered on stage for the whole set.
Barely visible throughout the set, Alice's vocals were somewhat drowned out by the music. She crowd surfed a few times but stayed prowling around the stage.
The band stuck mostly to playing old songs including, 'Untrust Us', 'Crimewave', 'Alice Practice' and 'Courtship Dating' (encore), all of which sent the crowd into a frenzy. The only songs performed from their latest album (III) were 'Wrath of God', 'Plague' and 'Telepath'. Perhaps the band wanted to stick to old favourites and leave the new stuff for fans to seek out on their own.
The concert was basically a light show, an excellent one, but the lack of personal connection between the band and the crowd left me feeling flat. Perhaps that's just characteristic of electronic-based music shows, though.

The progressives of the Democratic Party are taking the lead in strengthening unions.
"Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) announced a plan Wednesday that he says will lift the nation's lagging wages by restoring power to unions and protecting workers in the gig economy — both top items on the labor movement's wish list.
The Workplace Democracy Act, co-sponsored by Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and 10 other Democrats, would make it easier for workers to organize, supporters say.
The bill would allow employees to form a union by a majority sign-up process, rather than an election (which proponents say heightens the risk of employer meddling); require companies to negotiate with a new union within 10 days of receiving a request; mandate that workers in every state pay some dues to unions that represent them; and expand the law's definition of 'employer,' a hotly debated term as the country's contractor workforce expands.
The catch, of course, is that President Trump and the Republican-led Congress aren't likely to entertain these traditionally liberal goals — and they have virtually no chance of soon becoming law.
But Sanders said he hoped his push would shift the conversation about jobs from the dropping unemployment rate to stagnant wages.
The jobless rate hit an 18-year low of 3.9 percent in April, according to the most recent government data, while pay growth stayed flat.
'It's not a question of just jobs — it's a question of what those jobs pay,' Sanders told The Washington Post. 'Many of the occupations that are growing in this country do not pay workers a living wage.'
The nation's largest labor unions, including the AFL-CIO, Service Employees International Union and the National Education Association, have endorsed the measure."
For the rest of the story, visit The Washington Post here.

The road along the canal is a towpath. The Parma Bridge lies in the bend of the canal close to the Westpoort. The Canal Sluis-Bruges is better known as "Damse Vaart" or "Napoleonvaart" and was dug by Spanish prisoners of war between 1812 and 1814 under the impulse of Napoleon. Napoleon wanted to establish a connection between Bruges and the Westschelde via Sluis to Breskens. The canal was not intended to promote the prosperity of the city, but to make Napoleon's military transports and supplies independent of the connection by sea. (The North Sea route was blocked by the English enemy) In view of the defeat of Napoleon, they did not get further than Sluis. In 1854 the canal was extended to the center of the city. Shortly after 1854 there was also a draft boat connection between Sluis and Bruges. A barge is also called a barge ("kluun" for the Dutch). The trip could take up to 3 hours. Only on Saturday the trip was only done in two hours, two horses were used instead of one. most passengers were farmers and peasant women who went to the Saturday market in Bruges with baskets full of meat and sausage. For the end point of the canal there is a memorial with 1858 at the head of the quay. The "Lamme goedzak" now bridges the connections between Sluis and Bruges.
I hope that you enjoy it

Hallo John,
Een heel mooie foto in dit heldere winterlicht. De warme kleuren en de blauwe lucht gaan mooi samen. Het bruggetje loopt mooi diagonaal door het beeld, omringd door het riet en de bomen. Fijne jaarwisseling!
holmertz (83376) 2018-12-31 11:04
Hello John,
You had a beautiful January weather that day almost four years ago. You were also lucky that two persons were crossing the attractive bridge as you had your camera ready. There were straws in the foreground and trees across the water. They all frame the view nicely. The photo has a wonderful clarity and perfect sharpness.
Kind regards,
Silvio1953 (191323) 2018-12-31 11:49
Ciao John, lovely composition with beautiful bridge, fascinatin reflections, wonderful natural colors, excellent clarity and splendid light, very well done, my friend, Happy New Year, ciao Silvio
tyro (29026) 2018-12-31 11:57
Hello John,
As always, a fascinating note and a very fine photograph to accompany it.
How interesting that Napoleon ordered the building of this canal - perhaps, if Wellington had not defeated him at Waterloo, you might now have a longer canal!
A delightful scene captured on a bright and sunny January day and the bare trees and foreground yellow grasses contrast so beautifully with the clear blue sky and water reflections. And the couple crossing the narrow bridge are perfectly placed in the frame.
A lovely composition, perfect exposure, glorious light and colours and exceptional details and sharpness.
Kind Regards and Very Best Wishes to you and your family for 2019!

The presence of the people is animating the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the bridge. The light is enhan cing the beauty of the colours. Best wishes for 2019.
emka (139302) 2018-12-31 16:05
Hello John, Wonderful picture made four years ago on a sunny but probably cold day. The air is so crisp. I think that the water in the canal is frozen. Beautiful bridge, I suppose it is the movable bridge, allowing the vessels going under it. I like the bare branches and high grasses.
Happy New Year 2019

Hi John
A pristine rural scene by the river and the intriguing draw-bridge grabs my eye as strong eye stopper- I've seen the similar kind of bridge in Jakarta built during the Dutch period. This creates a lovely overall impact to this charming country side enhanced by people's presence to finish off harmoniously. A very fine capture, Congrats
Wishing you a Happy New Year 2019
Best regards
Fis2 (142753) 2019-01-01 4:31
Witaj John!
A very interesting bridge, the construction is impressive.

jmdias (92039) 2019-01-01 5:10
I remember a bridge like this in a painting of van gogh. nice the colors and contrasts here, a very beautiful moment, with a great light and sharpness. perfect and well done.
take care and happy 2019
Royaldevon (64382) 2019-01-01 7:26
Hello John,
Your notes are most interesting and extensive about the canal. The history of a place adds much to its interest.
It's a beautiful, winter's day and under a lovely, low light. The colours on the canal are rich and warm, as reflections from the bank.
I like your use of the f/g vegetation for a fine sense of depth, whilst the old, wooden bridge makes a very effective link between the different areas.
My very best wishes to you and your family for 2019,
Bev 😊
jean113 (16127) 2019-01-01 11:44
Hello John, I love this style of bridge, so typical of your part of the world. They are very photogenic.
Pin sharp, this is a lovely scene with lots of lovely detail.
The people animate the scene.
Regards Jean.

Ciao John
i primi ponti di questo tipo li ho visti nelle pitture di Van Gogh e mi hanno incuriosito molto.
Bella la tua nota storica, accompagna una bella fotografia scaldata da una bellissima luce.
Felice anno nuovo
adramad (62750) 2019-01-04 8:02
Hi John.
A charming image in this natural environment, ideal the typical wooden bridge, the environment with the canal, the beautiful graphics of the trees and these reeds in the foreground, all contribute to the success of the photo.
Wonderful image, sharpness, exposure, colors and POV are excellent.
Photo very well made. I like it
Enjoy a good day.
Very best regards.

The light was magnificent with pleasant resulting colors so warm in spite of the winter.
Great clarity and we can spot a family having a walk and an interesting tower of a church far in the distance.
Beautiful work,

You guys, I ate cake this week and some cupcakes and I didn't have to feel guilty about it! Olivia wanted to bake on Monday and I was out of eggs, then I remembered that I had pinned a recipe for lemon cupcakes with only a few ingredients that were only 1 point for a mini cupcake. Last time I was at the store, I bought the ingredients so I told her she could bake those. She decided to do it in cake form and we melted some icing for the top. Delicious!
Then I got to thinking...if I could do it with lemon cake mix, why not another flavor. I like lemon, but it isn't necessarily my favorite, but when we talk strawberries, I am all over that! So I went and bought a strawberry mix and let me tell you, these are so good!
You can find the lemon recipe here. If you are more partial to strawberry check out mine!
1 Box of Strawberry cake mix
1 - 100 calorie strawberry greek yogurt
1 cup - Water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare pan. I used cupcake liners, but you could grease the pan
(or use a 9x13 cake pan)
Mix all ingredients
Scoop into liners, filling a little more than halfway
Bake for 15 minutes
I was able to make 48 cupcakes and of course ate a few!
Each mini cupcake is
1 WW Points +
24 regular cupcakes is
2 WW Points + each
9x13 cake pan, divided into 12 pieces
4 WW Points + per piece
Take your pick of how to make them, but you should definitely try them!

Multicultural Children's Book Day is one of my favorite days of the year. I love reading diverse books with my boys. Introducing them to other cultures through books is one of the best ways I know to encourage tolerance and acceptance. And tolerance and acceptance rock.
If you're looking for good books to read for MCBD on January 27, I've got the goods. (You know I love ya.)
Make sure and check out the Story Times for If You Were Me and Lived in the American West, If You Were Me and Lived in Ancient Mali, and If You Were Me and Lived in Ancient China , but right now let's have fun with 10 Gulab Jamuns.
10 Gulab Jamuns by Sandhya Arachya is a fun book that introduces both Indian food and math with energy and hilarity. This entertaining book will have your littles' mouths watering while they're both cringing and laughing at Adu and Idu's antics.
This is not a simple counting book, my friends. It's the story of 2 little boys who can't keep their hands out of the proverbial cookie jar and the mama who understands them. Illustrated in warm, bright colors by Vanessa Alexandre, 10 Gulab Jamuns will make a vibrant addition to your picture book library.
And since I love it so much, I came up with some fun activities to go with it.
10 Galub Jamuns is all about the math. So I've pulled from the book to create a fun worksheet that even little littles can do.
My favorite illustration in 10 Gulab Jamuns is a full-page spread with all the food Mamma has prepared for her guests. In the background is a traditional Indian door hanging that I totally swooned over. So I thought it might be fun for your kiddos to make one to hang in their own rooms.
Traditional Indian Door Hanging
What you need:
- Lit Mama's Traditonal Indian Door Hanging template
- White card stock
- Grey, blue, green, and red markers
- 2 lengths of 18″ and 3 lengths of 14″ red and/or gold ribbon
- Red, green, blue, and gold glitter
- Craft glue
- Canning jar ring
- Scissors
- Exacto knife (optional)
What you do:
- Print out 3 copies of template on card stock
- Color elephants with markers as shown
- Add glue to green headdress
- Sprinkle on green glitter
- Shake off excess
- Repeat with blue and red glitter
- Make a small line of glue between each of the 6 blue circles
- Sprinkle with gold glitter
- Shake off excess
- Cut out elephants
- Use scissors or Exacto knife to cut straight lines on elephants' backs
- For first elephant, run 1 14″ ribbon into bottom slit from the back
- Push back through top slit and slide elephant to near bottom of ribbon
- Repeat with a second elephant
- Thread two elephants onto the second 14″ ribbon
- In the same way, thread 4 elephants onto each of the 18″ ribbons
- Tie the 18″ ribbons onto the canning ring on opposite sides
- Tie the 14″ ribbons to the canning ring on opposite sides between 18″ ribbons
- Thread third 14″ ribbon under the ties of the other two and knot at the top to create a hanger
- Hang in a doorway
Gulab Jamuns
This sweet treat is even yummier than it sounds. The recipe is in the back of the book, too!

- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- one 3-4 inch cinnamon stick
- 4-5 cardamom pods
- 10-15 saffron threads
- 1 tsp rose water
- 1/2 tsp lime juice
What you do:
For the dough:
- In a small bowl, mix together the powdered milk, flour, Bisquick, cardamom powder, and salt
- Add warm milk and stir well to make a wet, sticky powder
- Stir in ghee (batter should be sticky but easy to shape into a ball
- Grease hands roll dough into teaspoon-sized balls making sure there are no cracks
- Drop dough balls into hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes
- Remove to a bowl
For the syrup:
- In a small saucepan, heat water, sugar, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and saffron threads over low heat
- Once all the sugar is melted, boil for 5 minutes
- Add rose water and lime juice
- With a fork, remove cinnamon stick and cardamom pods
- Pour hot syrup over dough balls
- Set aside to soak 1 hour to overnight
Can you even with these activities? So. Much. Fun. Don't forget to celebrate with us!
