8.8.1 Extreme Temperature
Analysis of extreme temperature in climate model simulations has concentrated on the surface daily maximum and minimum temperature, or on the duration of hot/cold spells on the global scale (Schubert, 1998; Zwiers and Kharin, 1998; McGuffie et al., 1999; Kharin and Zwiers, 2000).
Zwiers and Kharin (1998) and Kharin and Zwiers (2000) analysed the 20-year return values for daily maximum and minimum screen temperature simulated by both CCC GCM2 and CGCM1. Comparison with the NCEP reanalyses shows that the model reproduced the return values of both maximum and minimum temperature and warm/cold spells reasonably well.
Intercomparisons among five AGCMs for the return values of extreme temperature of <-20°C and >40°C over the globe show a reasonable level of agreement between the models in terms of global scale variability (McGuffie et al., 1999).8.8.2 Extreme Precipitation
Analysis of extreme precipitation simulated by climate models has included the daily variability of anomalous precipitation (Zwiers and Kharin, 1998; McGuffie et al., 1999; Kharin and Zwiers, 2000), patterns of heavy rainfall (Bhaskran and Mitchell, 1998; Zhao et al., 2000b), as well as wet and dry spells (Thorncroft and Rowell, 1998; McGuffie et al., 1999). The results show some agreement with the available observations but the comparatively low model resolution is an inhibiting factor.
Ideally the simulated extreme rainfall should be compared with grided data calculated from the observed station data; however, observed grided data comparable to those produced by the models are scarce. Therefore, often the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data are used as an "observed" data set despite the fact that this data set does not appear to reproduce daily variability well (Zwiers and Kharin, 1998). Another issue is the interpretation of precipitation simulated by a climate model, some authors treat simulated precipitation as grid-box averages; others argue that it should be treated as grid-point values (Zwiers and Kharin, 1998). Hennessy et al. (1997) compared the daily precipitation by both CSIRO and UKHI (United Kingdom High-Resolution) AGCMs coupled to mixed-layer ocean models. They found that simulated frequencies of daily precipitation were close to those for grid-box average observations.
In summary, in contrast with the simulations of extreme temperature by climate models, extreme precipitation is difficult to reproduce, especially for the intensities and patterns of heavy rainfall which are heavily affected by the local scale (see Chapter 10).8.8.3 Extra-tropical Storms
Analyses of occurrences and tracks of extra-tropical storms have been performed for some climate models (Lunkeit et al., 1996; Beersma et al., 1997; Carnell and Senior, 1998; Schubert et al., 1998; Zwiers and Kharin, 1998; Kharin and Zwiers, 2000). However, very different methods are used to characterise extra-tropical storms, among the methods used are: mid-latitude storm tracks defined by 1,000 hPa wind speed (Zwiers and Kharin, 1998), maximum eddy growth rate at 350 hPa and 775 hPa (Lunkeit et al., 1996), index of storm tracks (such as 500 hPa height variability, sea level pressure, surface wind) (Beersma et al., 1997), frequency, intensity and track of 500 hPa transient eddies (Schubert et al., 1998), as well as low centres at 500 hPa (Carnell and Senior, 1998).
Kaurola (1997) compared the numbers of the observed extra-tropical storms north of 30°N for five winter seasons and from a 30-year simulation of the ECHAM3 atmospheric model for two periods during the control run. The comparisons indicated that the ratios of total numbers between the simulations and observations were 0.96 and 0.97 for two respective periods. It appears that the ECHAM3 model is able to simulate the numbers of storms north of 30°N in wintertime. The mid-latitude storm tracks over the North Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and over the southern circumpolar ocean were also well simulated by the CCC GCM2 (Zwiers and Kharin, 1998).
Kageyama et al. (1999) focused on the storm tracks of the Northern Hemisphere as simulated by several AGCMs. Intercomparisons of the nine AGCMs show that the models reproduce reasonably the storm tracks defined with high-pass second-order transient eddy quantities. These results also indicated that higher resolution models tend to be better at reproducing the storm tracks.
Schubert et al. (1998) analysed North Atlantic storms in the ECHAM3/LSG model. Their analysis indicated that the storm frequency, position and density agreed with the observations. Lunkeit et al. (1996) analysed storm activity in the ECHAM2/OPYC model. They found that the mean eddy activity and storm tracks in that simulation were in reasonable agreement with observations.
The general ability of models to simulate extra-tropical storms and storm tracks is most encouraging.8.8.4 Tropical Cyclones
Tropical cyclones can be characterised in models by several measures such as their intensity, track, frequency and location of occurrence (Bengtsson et al., 1996; Sugi et al., 1997; Tsutsui et al., 1999). Other broad-scale fields such as maximum wind speed, maximum potential intensity (Holland, 1997) and high sea surface temperature (Hulme and Viner, 1998) are also used as indicators of tropical cyclones. Thus it is important to consider the particular characteristics that are used to describe tropical cyclones in a given analysis when results from models are compared (Henderson-Sellers et al., 1998; Krishnamurti et al., 1998; Royer et al., 1998; Walsh and Pittock, 1998).
Many analyses have been based on the physical parameters favourable for cyclogenesis as summarised by Gray (1981). Gray relates the climatological frequency of tropical cyclone genesis to six environmental factors: (1) large values of low-level relative vorticity, (2) Coriolis parameter (at least a few degrees poleward of the equator), (3) weak vertical shear of the horizontal winds, (4) high SST's exceeding 26°C and a deep thermocline, (5) conditional instability through a deep atmospheric layer, and (6) large values of relative humidity in the lower and middle troposphere (Gray, 1981; Henderson-Sellers et al., 1998). Following the general concepts outlined by Emanuel (1987), Holland (1997) has derived an alternative thermodynamic approach to estimate maximum potential intensity of tropical cyclones. The approach requires an atmosphere sounding, SST, and surface pressure; it includes the oceanic feedback of increasing moist entropy associated with falling surface pressure over a steady SST, and explicitly incorporates a representation of the cloudy eye wall and a clear eye.
Several climate model simulations in Table 8.4 have been analysed using a variety of the above techniques to determine the frequency of tropical cyclones (Bengtsson et al., 1995; Watterson et al., 1995; Vitart et al., 1997; Royer et al., 1998). The ECHAM3 model has by far the highest horizontal resolution amongst these models. The numbers of simulated tropical cyclones are between 70 and 141 per year. The numbers of observed tropical cyclones per year are quite variable; 80 for the period 1958 to 1977 (Gray, 1979), 99 for the period 1952 to 1971 (Gray, 1975) and 86 for the period of 1970 to 1995 (Henderson-Sellers et al., 1998). Despite the differing definitions of tropical cyclones used in the different analyses, the range of tropical cyclones numbers simulated by the models are similar to the observed data.
Bengtsson et al. (1995; 1996; 1999) have analysed a five-year simulation with ECHAM3 at T106 (100 km) horizontal resolution. They conclude that the model could reproduce some aspects of the characteristic structure of tropical cyclones and some aspects of their geographical distribution and seasonal variability. They also found that in certain areas, in particular in the north-east Pacific, a realistic number of tropical cyclones was only generated by the model when the horizontal resolution was finer than 100 km. Their results showed a reasonably good agreement with the observed distribution, tracks and annual variability of tropical cyclones (Bengtsson et al., 1995, 1999). Sugi et al. (1997) and Yoshimura et al. (1999) used a 100 km version of the JMA AGCM and compared the simulated geographical distribution of tropical cyclones with observations. They obtained reasonably realistic geographical patterns. However, in contrast to the observations, they did not find a significant difference in tropical cyclone frequency when they used the SSTs representing El Niño and La Niña years.
Henderson-Sellers et al. (1998) suggested that AOGCMs could provide useful information of the frequency of tropical cyclones, but the models they studied all had coarse resolution (about 500 km), climate drift (or flux adjustment) and unproven skill for present day tropical cyclones. A first attempt of tropical cyclones simulations with a high-resolution coupled climate model was performed by Matsuura et al. (1999) with a 100 km JMA atmospheric model coupled with the GFDL modular ocean model (MOM2) (0.5°31.0°) model (but without sea ice). This model reproduced some aspects of the structure of observed tropical cyclones, although the simulated "tropical cyclones" are weaker and larger in scale than the observed. The model also shows the observed tendency of less (more) frequent tropical cyclones and an eastward (westward) shift of their locations over the northwestern equatorial Pacific during El Niño (La Niña) years. This result gives us some confidence in using a high-resolution coupled climate model in the future to explore the relationship between global warming and the frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones.
In summary, high horizontal resolution AGCMs (or AOGCMs) are able to simulate some aspects of "tropical cyclone-like vortices" with some degree of success, but it is still too computationally expensive to use such models for long experiments. The type of tropical cyclone index chosen in the analysis of low-resolution climate models is important, the use of maximum potential intensity may provide the most robust estimate, but analyses using this index remain infrequent.8.8.5 Summary and Discussion
Since the SAR, more attention has been paid to the analysis of extreme events in climate model simulations. Evaluations indicate that climate models are more capable of reproducing the variability in maximum and minimum temperature in the global scale than the daily precipitation variability. The ability of climate models to simulate extra-tropical storm tracks and storm frequency is encouraging. When tropical cyclones were analysed, high-resolution models generally produced better results. It is worth noting that some high-resolution operational numerical weather prediction models have demonstrated reasonable ability in forecasting tropical cyclones. This increases our confidence that they may be better reproduced by high-resolution climate models in the future.
The lack of consistent methodologies used in analyses of extreme events prevents a ready intercomparison of results between models; future IPCC assessments would be greatly assisted if common approaches were adopted.

Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. is Nintendo's Newest 3DS Strategy Game
Nintendo has announced that the 3DS will receive a brand-new turn-based strategy game called Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. from Intelligent Systems, creators of the Fire Emblem and Advance Wars series.
The announcement came from a developer roundtable event on June 11 during E3 2014. The title will be exclusive to the 3DS and is "a new take on strategy games inspired by third-person shooters." The first thing you'll notice about the game just by looking at the screens and the title itself is that it's set in a steampunk world and has very comic book-like aesthetics. S.T.E.A.M. refers to a group of special forces soldiers who use steam-powered gadgets and weapons to fight off aliens.
An over-the-shoulder, third-person perspective is used to show off the depth and verticality of the levels, making you feel like you're in the action with your squad, which is made up of four team members that you can customize. In battle, every move you make and every action you take depletes the levels of a steam gauge, so you'll have to think very strategically to make sure you don't waste precious steam power.
There's no set release date for Code Name: S.T.E.A.M., but it's slated for a launch in 2015 exclusively for the 3DS family of systems. We'll update you as more information about this steampunk-powered title is revealed.

Who doesn't want the ability to control robotic arms? Especially when the robo-arms are mapped directly to contact points and grasping-force from your own five fingers. Even though this wonderfully named MiesterGRIP does indeed give you robo-arm control, don't expect to be lifting cars anytime soon since it appears grabbing a balloon is the most exciting trick that's currently possible.
The important part of all this isn't really the robotic arms but more the controller device. A cylindrical interface is gripped by each hand and measures each contact point on your palms and fingers, which allows for the slightness variation in applied pressure to control the attached robo-arms. The cylindrical interface is also mounted upon a movable controller which will register directional movements. So what this means is all your finger, hand and arm movements are transferred over to the robo-arms without even getting out of your seat.
But yeah, there's still no super-powerful robot arms... sorry [MeisterGRIP at SIGGRAPH]

Huawei is on a roll, introducing two high-end handsets at CES this year. Besides the souped-up Ascend D2, the Chinese manufacturer also introduced the Ascend Mate.
The Mate is Huawei's answer to Samsung's popular Galaxy Note series of supersized phones. The Mate goes beyond the Note II with a 6.1-inch display with 720P resolution and 1.5 GHZ quad-core processor. The included 2GB of RAM is competitive other high-end handsets and tablets. It's a big phone and has room for a high-capacity 4050 mAh battery that should provide plenty of power for a typical day.
Externally, the front of the slab-style phone has a series of capacitive buttons and a front-facing web camera. Just like its little cousin the D2, the Ascend Mate also has a large white area underneath the display. On the back is an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash. The camera has features like geo-tagging and face detection and can record 1080P video at a respectable 30 FPS. There's also a small speaker at the bottom for your music-listening needs. The rest of the outer casing is standard fare including a microUSB port for charging and syncing purposes.
On the performance front, the Ascend Mate zips right along, despite the added burden of the Emotion UI. It's a big phone, one of the biggest we've seen, and it really pushes the limits of usability, especially with one-hand. Software-wise, the Ascend Mate ships with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, an upgrade to Android 4.2 will be coming soon after launch.

Kelly gets in some work against O's
DETROIT -- A day after recording the first RBI and extra-base hit of his career, third baseman Nick Castellanos was on the bench in favor of utility man Don Kelly on Saturday.
Manager Brad Ausmus' reasoning was pretty simple.
"It was more about getting Kelly into the game," Ausmus said. "You don't want guys on the bench for too long of a period of time or you can't count on them in a big situation. They have to get some at-bats. Nick didn't need a day off, but Kelly needed a day on."
The Tigers were off on Tuesday and had a rainout on Thursday. With two more off-days scheduled next week, Ausmus wants to get the role players in where he can.
"With all these off-days and the rainout, it could end up being that guys don't play for two weeks if you don't find them a spot to put them in," he said. "It's unfair to them to ask them two weeks into the start of the season to perform."
Kelly went 3-for-4 with an RBI triple in the Tigers' 7-6 win.

What Area's Do You Research Blog Readers?
The migration pattern shown in this episode, is one that is used by many early migratory settlers.
Since I am doing a talk on "Migration across the US" in a few months, I thought I would see what areas
people are most interested.
There are trails used that were less known but I suspect people want to first learn about the major trails used and methods of travel.
So hoping to get some feedback to share with all about places to track and methods used to get there.

Hello I would like to create a private WordPress blog for friend and family and I would also require to restrict certain content for only family which the level of friends can't view. It could be entire categories or just a few posts. Is there any plug in that offers such flexibility. I would also like to protect my RSS feed and not allow search engines to index my site.
Also I am using an external writer to create content. Its called ScreenSteps, this also allows me to upload content to my blog, all I did was to activate the XML-RPC option from the writing tab on the settings menu. Will this be affected if I make my blog private using a plugin ?

It's not anything that will cause Franco Harris to race through the streets to declare vindication, nor will this bit of news lead the NCAA to reexamine the sanctions it handed down and say, "Oops!" But the Freeh Group, which had issued the devastating investigative report on Penn State's handling of the Jerry Sandusky matter, has acknowledged some factual errors.
The errors were noted in an "Errata Sheet" posted
today recently on the Freeh Group's website. And Sara Ganim (who else?) noticed them today. A few typos are corrected, but there are also two significant points of fact that will certainly be relevant during the upcoming trials of Penn State's on-leave athletic director Tim Curley and former senior vice president for business and finance Gary Schultz, both of whom are charged with perjury and failure to report abuse.
- The original Freeh report states that Curley met with Sandusky in 1998, after campus police and state child welfare authorities launched an investigation that resulted in no criminal charges. Today's correction notes that that meeting actually took place in 2001.
- In two different instances, the original report cites an email from Wendell Courtney, the university's lawyer, to Schultz, in which it says Schultz wrote, "I was never aware that 'Penn State police investigated inappropriate touching in a shower' in 1998." Today's correction says it was Courtney, not Schultz, who made that comment.

HP® 2 Deep Ocean Electric Guitar
When a USA-made guitar bears the initials of Peavey founder and CEO Hartley Peavey, players can expect an iconic design with its own unique flair, and the Peavey HP™2 guitar delivers. Featuring professional-quality upgrades and customizations, each Peavey HP2 guitar is constructed with leading-edge technology and traditional handcrafted methods by Peavey artisans in Meridian, Mississippi.
The HP2 stands out with a carved top and offset, asymmetrical body design that offers comfort, proper balance, and maximum playing ease. Maple was chosen for the top and basswood for the back; solid basswood construction is also available. Peavey selected these hardwoods not only for their natural beauty and weight characteristics, but also for their specific tonal qualities. Cream or black top-edge binding accents the body.
At the select birdseye maple neck and fingerboard, players will find unmatched stability and playability. Dual graphite reinforcement bars and an easy-access, adjustable steel torsion rod provide additional strength, as does the bolt-on construction with contoured neck heel. The oil-finished fingerboard is cut from the same piece of wood as the single-piece neck, keeping the color and grain patterns consistent. The stress-relieved lamination also adds increased stability. The HP2 has a 25½" scale length, 22 jumbo frets and 15" fingerboard radius. The 10-degree tilt-back headstock has a 3+3 tuning machine configuration featuring Schaller® tuning machines with pearloid or cream buttons. The chrome-plated hardware finish completes the look.
The HP2's construction and electronics work in harmony. Two custom-wound Peavey humbucking pickups supply optimal output and tonal response. They're made using a two-step wax-dipping process that provides ultra-low noise operation and resistance to microphonic feedback. The pickups are mounted directly to the body, further reducing feedback at high volume levels and enhancing response. A Switchcraft® 3-way toggle switch allows selection of pickups in up, center and down configurations. Players will also find either a Peavey/Floyd Rose® licensed, double-locking tremolo assembly or tune-o-matic/stop tailpiece fixed-bridge to complete the guitar. Finishing off the guitar are two push-pull knobs for volume and tone, with the ability to split the pickups individually.

Tatting Patterns & Shuttles
1227 County Road 1760 E
Greenup, Illinois 62428 USA
The purpose of the join is to integrate the tatting in progress with a piece of tatting previously accomplished. This can be joining ring to ring, ring to chain, chain to chain, or motif to motif.
The basic join uses a free standing picot on a previously tatted ring/chain. The working thread of the new tatting segment is pulled up thru the join in a loop. The shuttle passes thru this loop carrying the foundation thread (shuttle thread) forward. The loop is then pulled back down thru the picot and the work is snugged up securely and tatting continues on the new segment.
Consider the shuttle thread as a horizontal line. The basic join is completed above the line of tatting. The basic join can be anywhere in the 180 degree arc above the line of work.
But what if the join needs to be completed below the line of progression, downwards to a previous row/ring/chain? You may have read patterns that ask you to join in a seemingly impossible way. This situation calls for a different join, i.e., the shuttle join.
One uses the shuttle join to join down instead of up to the picot. It is used most often when doing lots of chainwork as in the edging of this Valentine's Day Heart Pillow.
The shuttle thread is pulled thru a picot or point of attachment in a loop and the shuttle passes thru the loop made. Hold the shuttle thread gently and bring the work in progress over so that it touches the picot used to join. Then gently pull up the slack in the shuttle thread and tighten.
One usually compresses the stitches prior to making the shuttle join to enhance the curve of the work if desired. Also, be sure to check the correctness of your work before making the shuttle join as it is a real bear to undo.
And concentrate on pulling the shuttle thread straight up at a 90 degree angle when tightening it. Right or left hand tatters often work a slant into the shuttle join by pulling in their dominant direction. Pull straight up to avoid the slant.
When joining to a tatted point below the horizontal line (below the line of progression,) the tatting is accomplished to the point of the proposed join. Snug up the double stitches and check the correctness of the work to that point. A shuttle join is not easily undone. If the work is correct, let the shuttle thread drop down behind the free standing picot or other point of attachment on the previous tatting. Pull a loop of the shuttle thread up thru the picot, slip the shuttle thru this loop, but do not tighten it yet. Pull on one side of the loop only, so that the new tatting is drawn up to the old tatting and then hold both segments under the thumb while the shuttle thread gently pulls up the slack in the loop and tightens down. Continue to tat.

As a mock interview show host, Zach Galifianakis is accruing awards at the rate of a "60 Minutes" correspondent.
Galifianakis led the 15th annual Webby Awards on Tuesday with four awards for his Web series "Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis." He won best Web personality/host, best comedy short and best online variety show. He won the latter in both the voter-chosen "People's Voice" category, and the proper Webby Award category.

U.S. & World
The Webbys, which celebrate Internet achievement, are presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a group of 750 Web experts as well as other Internet professionals.
Galifianakis' irreverent, sporadically released show, which appears on FunnyOrDie.com, is done in the style of a cable access show. Galifianakis, who was honored last year by the Webbys as best actor, belligerently and absurdly interviews celebrity guests.

Lisa Kudrow won two awards for her "Web Therapy" series. Arcade Fire's innovative "The Wilderness Downtown" music video also won two awards, as did the interactive "Johnny Cash Project." Both Web-based music videos were directed by Chris Milk.
Justin Bieber took the People's Voice award for best comedy video for his April Fool's takeover of FunnyOrDie.com as "Bieber or Die." The site's home page was remade with clips featuring Bieber in famous viral videos.
The comedy site, co-founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, could boast a total of nine awards. That included the Webby for best humor site and a People's Voice award for Jim Carrey's performance as Ronald Reagan in the site's star-packed "Presidential Reunion" video.

The app sensation "Angry Birds" was chosen for best game, for both the Webby and the People's Voice award. The New Yorker's website won the Webby for best magazine site. PBS's iPad app was picked for best entertainment for a tablet. Conan O'Brien's TeamCoco.com won the Webby for best celebrity or fan website.
The New York Times, which recently began charging readers for access to its site, won three awards in how-to, travel and mobile.

Re: The Elder Scrolls V: After the Oblivion Crisis
Nazg closed up his book and gathered all his needed materials. Some food. He strapped his sword onto his waist. Getting up he made his way to the courtyard. His chosen ones slowly made their way to him. They looked suited up well enough.
"You all look prepared. Good. We go." Anya, Var'ryk, Llathala and Faramel followed. They walked out, the Imperial Battlemages bowing to Nazg as he went by.
After making it into the Temple District through the Arbetoreum they got a few looks from the people and the beggars. They went onto the bridge outside and passed Lake Rumare. After an hour of walking on the path Nazg stopped.
"This is were we deviate from the path. There may be many sorts of animals out there so be on your guard." The party followed Nazg as he trudged throgh the bush. A wolf decided to peek out of the bush and worked up the courage to attack. Non-chalantly, Nazg loosed a fireball which sent the wolf howling off into the bush. Slowly the Ayelid Ruins of Nenyon Twyll came into view.
"We have arrived. Be warned. THere are terrible things in here. The necromancers are a murderous lot and do not hesitate if they have the chance to kill you. Beware of their undead." Nazg was about to enter when the sound of hooves was heard.
"Quick use any invisibility spells you have! Hide!"

For about 59 minutes and 56 seconds it appeared that MTSU's blackout was going to be as successful as Georgia's. Then, in final four seconds, MTSU's Joe Craddock lifted a pass and the blackout took over. That's the only explanation for what Florida Atlantic's defensive backs were doing on the final play of the game. They looked into the crowd, saw all black — the void in their own lives — and couldn't focus on the football plummeting towards the end zone. This is the second hail mary worthy of note from MTSU. The other is after the jump. Does this look somewhat familiar? It should. MTSU came within a half-yard from pulling off two hail marys for victory in the same month. What's the play called? Hope. Named, of course, after offensive coordinator G.A. Mangus's daughter. Here's Hope against Kentucky.
MTSU's Joe Craddock is the modern day Doug Flutie. If Flutie had never played in the NFL after college. And Florida Atlantic were Miami and...you get the picture. MTSU pulls out win on last-second catch [Tennessean]

"Consumers are almost twice as likely to engage in negative word-of-mouth, and it can be one of the most persuasive forms of communication among a company's consumer base," said Vikas Mittal, the J. Hugh Liedtke Professor of Marketing at Rice and a co-author of the study.
"Whether or not you engage in this type of behavior depends on whether you are a male or a female, whether the person you are talking to is a close friend or just an acquaintance and whether you are concerned about impairing your image — that is, admitting you are not a smart consumer," the authors wrote. Their study will be published in the April 2014 issue of the Journal of Consumer Research.
In their experiments, the researchers asked 415 men and women to recall dissatisfying retail experiences and indicate whether they told others about them. The researchers noted whether consumers relayed the negative word of mouth to close friends or casual acquaintances and measured how concerned the consumers were about what other people thought of them.
Results from one study showed that men were sensitive to impairing their image but their complaining behavior did not differ for close friends or acquaintances. If they had high concern about their image among others, men were less likely to complain overall. In contrast, women showed a remarkably different pattern. Only when they had a high concern about their image among others were they less likely to complain to fellow shoppers they didn't know. Otherwise, women had a higher likelihood of complaining to close friends. In other words, women's complaints, especially to strangers, are more sensitive and decrease when they are among strangers; among those with whom they have strong ties, women are equally likely to complain regardless of any concern for image impairment.
"Prior research has assumed that negative word-of-mouth transmission is largely a function of product performance," Mittal said. "Our research, in contrast, shows that social factors — particularly those related to a person's gender and closeness to whom the complaint is made — can crucially affect whether or not people will complain. These results occur because women are more concerned about others' welfare than males are, especially if the other is a close friend."
The authors concluded: "There may be some product categories (fashion goods, for example) where people may be more concerned about their image and less likely to admit when something went wrong."
"Companies need to understand that when consumers are unhappy with their products and services, they — especially women — are more likely to complain to other customers with whom they have strong ties. Because of their focus on close friends, women may use negative word of mouth as a way to let their close friends and associates know about negative consumption experiences," Mittal said. "Companies interested in organic sales growth through word of mouth need to ensure that occasions for customer complaining are minimized."
Mittal's co-authors were Yinlong Zhang, associate professor of marketing at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and Lawrence Feick, senior director of international programs, director of the University Center for International Studies and professor of business administration at the University of Pittsburgh.

On the Countryside in Punjab.
Through the thin white barks of Eucalyptus trees, the first rays of sunrise promise to brighten a chilly morning. I walk through a small clearing in the field, amid dark green shrubs dotted with white, and extend my hand towards what look like snow-flakes, only they don't melt at my touch. If you haven't yet guessed, I'm strolling amid cotton fields. The seeds have burst, and the cotton is blooming.

Algae alternative fuel research just received a financial boost to the tune of $15 million thanks to a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE awarded the grant funds to the Algae Testbed Public-Private Partnership (ATP3), a research center led by staff at the Arizona State University (ASU) Polytechnic campus in Mesa. The five-acre site is the largest university-based algae research testbed in the world.
ASU Polytechnic's Center for Algae Technology and Innovation (AzCATI) is heading up the partnership with a variety of private institutions, national laboratories and colleges including the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Sandia National Laboratories, the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Texas at Austin.
"The productivity data generated by the ATP3 testbeds will flow into techno-economic and lifecycle assessment models and provide a basis for tracking progress toward goals in production economics and sustainability," said Philip Pienkos, a principal manager at the NREL. "By making high quality testbed capabilities available to researchers and technology developers, they will allow rapid testing of novel concepts at scale and greatly accelerate commercialization." Source: ASU
The algae biofuel research field in Arizona is in a prime growth position due to the recent passage of two pieces of legislation, HB2225 and HB2226, that classify algae as agriculture. This classification, known as algaculture, opens up state trust land for the growth and harvesting of algae. In addition to positioning Arizona as a leader in algae alternative fuel research, the two bills will help bring new jobs to the state.

New Outlook 2013 features help manage OST files
Managing the size of users' OST files is greatly simplified in Outlook 2013 with the arrival of two new features.
In past versions of Microsoft Outlook, administrators often had to make certain compromises when it came to managing...
Continue Reading This Article
Enjoy this article as well as all of our content, including E-Guides, news, tips and more.
OST file bloat. In Outlook 2013, Microsoft has introduced two new mechanisms that help balance these files dynamically and intelligently.
As the workforce has grown increasingly mobile, Outlook Cached mode has proved its worth. Road warriors can enjoy the full contents of their mailboxes even over high-latency links, knowing that Outlook is synchronizing outbound messages and incoming updates in the background as network conditions allow, permitting content lookups and searches from a local OST file.
The mobility trend, however, has run squarely into opposition with another trend: large mailbox sizes. At some point, the amount of data in a mailbox creates an OST file that is unwieldy for one of these reasons:
- The file is too large to fit into the limited storage on mobile devices.
- The file is too large for slow mobile disks to search effectively.
- The sync rate from the large mailbox is too much for network conditions.
In previous versions of Outlook, administrators would do things like add expensive, large solid-state drives to mobile devices, or keep user mailboxes small in order to combat these problems. In Outlook 2013, admins now have two new tools at their disposal: Sync Slider and Exchange Fast Access.
The Outlook 2013 Sync Slider
In previous versions of Outlook, a profile using Cached mode (enabled by default on new profiles) pulls down all the data in the associated mailbox. Most users, however, most frequently access their recent data. The older a message item is, the less likely the average user needs to refer to it.
Based on those metrics, Microsoft has included the new Sync Slider in Outlook 2013. The tool lets administrators change the upper age limit of the data it synchronizes.
Whether you upgrade an existing profile to Outlook 2013 or create a brand-new profile, the slider is set to 12 months by default. You either can set it to one, three, six, 12, or 24 months, or permit Outlook to continue syncing all items as previous versions do. Items older than the sync limit will not be pulled down into the OST. Administrators can also use the "Cached Exchange Mode Sync Settings" setting in a Group Policy Object to control the Sync Slider across their organization.
For existing profiles, Outlook 2013 doesn't use the existing OST file. Instead, it converts the file to a new format that provides additional compression. Between the improved compression and sync limit, the resulting Outlook 2013 OST files will be significantly smaller and offer a great balance between space, convenience and performance on mobile devices with limited storage.
Exchange Fast Access in Outlook 2013
The flip side to partial synchronization is that there are times when you need to pull up data not in your local cache. Online mode is the traditional answer, but that requires a constant connection with low latency and sufficient bandwidth to provide a good user experience.
With Exchange Fast Access, the Outlook 2013 Cached mode dynamically contacts the server to pull down the missing information as if it were in Online mode, all without switching out of Cached mode. Searches that result in hits outside the cached data display a prompt that the user can click to pull down additional results.
This feature helps improve Outlook 2013's startup response time. When it starts up, Outlook simultaneously pulls down new items in Online mode, even as it begins the normal Cached mode sync process. Users immediately see new items and begin searching, reading and sending messages while the OST file is brought quietly and efficiently up to date in the background.
As with the Sync Slider, administrators can control the behavior of the Exchange Fast Access feature in their users' Outlook 2013 profiles via Group Policy Objects. The "Disable Exchange Fast Access" setting is a simple switch: Enabling the policy element disables Exchange Fast Access, and you revert back to legacy behavior.
Putting it all together
Before you upgrade to Outlook 2013, think carefully about what your users need. Consider mailbox size, the types of mobile devices your company allows (and the storage available), and your users' particular access patterns. Doing so helps you determine the correct set of policy settings for your organization. You can read more about these settings in Microsoft's TechNet documentation on Outlook 2013.
Understand that these settings and behaviors don't apply to protocols other than Outlook Anywhere. Protocols like Exchange ActiveSync -- which already has a time-based sync setting -- are not affected. This means that neither mobile phones nor Windows RT devices will be affected (as of the time of this writing).
Remember, deploying these tools with default settings might come as a nasty surprise for your users, especially when they realize they don't have offline access to messages older than a year, and when search results and folder browsing require extra steps.

Of the hundreds of strategies used in investing, some of the most highly debated in terms of merit are social trading strategies. First, there is question by some whether social trading is a strategy at all. After that initial question is debated, regardless of which side of that line one falls on, is the question of if it provides a tangible benefit. In terms of trading and investing the definition of tangible benefit is a simple one, does it help you make higher profits?

Solterra Resort Orlando located in Davenport, Florida just off HWY54. This brand new community is only 15 minutes from Disney World. The Solterra Resort has a communal clubhouse open to all guests. It features a large pool area with water slide, hot tub and plenty of sun loungers for all. There is also a large covered lounge area with outdoor TV's and tables so you can get a break from the hot Florida sun. Most of the Solterra Resort vacation rentals we have are either brand new or only a few years old. Building work is ongoing, and new homes are being added as they are completed. Also new for Summer 2017 the clubhouse is being extended to include a lazy river and cafe. NO SERVICE FEE
June 2017 Update: We visited the Solterra Resort clubhouse last week and spoke to the management. The new cafe and lazy river should be open for the July 4th celebrations so fingers crossed.
The new Solterra Resort poolside cafe is a great addition to the clubhouse and we will add more details about the menu when it's open.
The Solterra resort lazy river was making good progress and will be a great place to cool off this summer, again we will add more details and photos once it's open.
July 2017 Update: The new Solterra Resort lazy river is now open and looks fantasic. Check out the video showing you the Solterra lazy river and clubhouse pools on our recent blog post.
Inside the Solterra Resort air conditioned clubhouse there is a gym with state of the art workout equipment which is free to use. There is also a lounge with comfy sofas, dining tables, HDTV, breakfast bar and small kitchen area. An ideal area to sit, read a book and relax while the kids play in the pool.
For kids there is a play area which has slides, climbing frames and is sand based so easy on the feet. If you feel like a game of Tennis the courts are free to use but you will need your own balls and racket.
Solterra Resort is close to shops, restaurants and supermarkets at Champions Gate or Reunion Resort. As well as minutes from the Orlando attractions via I4. We have a selection of luxury vacation rental villas available on the Solterra Resort. Please contact the owners direct to check availability, ask questions, read guest reviews and book.
If you are flying in to Orlando then the Solterra Resort is only 30 minute from Orlando International Airport. With Sandford Airport about an hour and Tampa about 1 hr 15 mins.
We have a selection of luxury Solterra Resort Orlando villa rentals available direct from the owners. The Solterra Resort lot sizes are bigger than normal with larger than normal pool deck areas, allowing everyone to bath in the sun!
We have personally visited most of the homes advertised with us on the Solterra Resort community. And highly recommend it for its great clubhouse facilities and large spacious rental villas as well as close proximity to the Orlando theme parks.
Update September 2017: Solterra Resort Clubhouse information as well as driving directions from the resort to nearby Orlando attractions. We have also included directions from all the local airports to the Solterra Resort so you won't get lost.
Update July 2019: Below is a photo (taken Feb 2019) showing Solterra Resort Orlando from the air. In the photo you can see the Solterra Resort clubhouse pool, lazy river, tennis courts, kids play area and grass at the front of the clubhouse where guests can play football. It also gives you a great overview of the Solterra Resort villas and the layout of the community.
Whilst staying at the Solterra Resort you will no doubt be eating out most nights.

We're all talking about the "jobs of the future" and "winning the future" and transitioning to a "knowledge economy." Since predictions are hard, especially about the future, it's a good idea to look at some data.
And it looks like we have some of it: the BLS has a handy chart of the fastest-growing jobs in America (h/t Erica Grieder), and the vast majority are not the "knowledge economy" jobs we usually think of. In fact, this chart seems to prove things that we already know: the rising importance of the healthcare sector to the economy (especially with an ageing population) and the transition of the economy to services, where "services" is not a euphemism for "computers" but, like, actual services.
So the list has your odd "Biomedical Engineers" (fancy!) and, at the bottom, your "Medical Scientists, Except Epidemiologists" (sorry epidemiologists!), but the vast majority of jobs are jobs like "Home Health Aides" and "Reinforcing Iron and Rebar Workers."
A key point here: The jobs of the future are only "low skilled" if you define "low skilled" as not requiring college. Being a good carpenter (56% growth, Jesus is still with us) or, for that matter, a good medical secretary (41% growth), takes smarts (actual smarts, not just book smarts), hard work, and dedication.
Relatedly, the jobs of the future will be high-paying. It's simply not true that all high-paying jobs require a college degree. It's very very possible to make a very good living as a tradesman, because good tradesmen are–and always will be, unlike Fortran programmers and data entry clerks–in high demand.
"Helpers–Brickmasons, Blockmasons, Stonemasons, and Tile and Marble Setters" sounds like bottom-of-the-barrel work, but follow someone like Samuel-James Wilson, an award-winning bricklayer, on Twitter, or visit Guédelon Castle where contemporary tradesmen are building a 13th century castle with 13th century tools, to see that being a good bricklayer is as hard as being a good lawyer. Obviously I've been influenced by Shop Class as Soulcraft, which should be required reading for any discussion of the future of work and education.
And finally – and this is perhaps the most important thing – some jobs of the future only "require" college because we're very dumb. Very few of those occupations require college in the sense that 90+% of people who pursue that occupation will benefit from having learned about it in college. But my guess would be that more than a few of these occupations "require" college in the sense that employers expect that applicants will have a BA. And this is our problem. A "Diagnostic Medical Sonographer" is a highly-skilled job that doesn't require college training in the sense that you can learn everything you need to do the job in a manner of months. But many colleges offer programs to help you become a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer. And when you compare unemployment rates for college graduates and non-college graduates, you see why someone might want to go to college to become a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer even if it means taking on huge, unnecessary debt. And once there are enough college graduates who can become Diagnostic Medical Sonographers, you can see why employers would rationally toss out of the pile any resumes that don't have a college degree on them.
This is something that we urgently need to fix, because we're wasting ginormous amounts of money, time, and resources. The first step is to recognise what the actual jobs of the future are.

Startup Helps Zap Mobile App Errors with Google App Engine
Startup Helps Zap Mobile App Errors with Google App Engine Organization
BugSense, an application error-reporting service, relies on Google App Engine to track and report millions of app errors every day. When smartphone apps crash, BugSense helps developers pinpoint and fix the problem. The startup depends on Google App Engine for the scalability required to deliver first-rate service to its customers, which include VMware, Samsung, Skype and thousands of independent app developers.
Scalability was the top priority for BugSense founder Jon Vlachoyiannis when he began planning his error-tracking service. He knew there would be a high demand for the offering, which provides detailed crash reports to app developers through a web-based user dashboard. Without the right solution to handle all the data, the service would fail.
The small startup didn't have the budget to build its own infrastructure. Vlachoyiannis wanted to get the service up and running quickly, so he and his team decided against using an infrastructure-as-a-service solution that would require configuring and maintaining servers.
"Scaling the service ourselves and handling things like administration and security really weren't options," he says. "We just wanted to start programming."
"Once we deploy our codes, we can sleep tight at night. With Google App Engine, we don't have to worry about anything going wrong."
Jon Vlachoyiannis founder, BugSense
Vlachoyiannis learned about Google App Engine while running an earlier startup, and he thought it was the perfect platform for BugSense. Without hardware to manage, his team could focus on building the best service possible. App Engine also could provide the scalability to effortlessly support customers as the business grew.
BugSense incorporated a number of App Engine features into the service, including:
- Google App Engine's Datastore – to provide secure, scalable data storage
- The XMPP application programming interface (API) – to push live data onto users' BugSense dashboards so the team can view error-related information as it's generated
- The Task Queue API – to schedule email notifications to developers who haven't fixed their apps within a specified time period
App Engine makes it easy for Vlachoyiannis and his team to continually improve the service, since they can deploy new versions of their code without taking the operation offline. They also can monitor the service and check response times, errors and other data through App Engine's intuitive, web-based dashboard.
"Managing the service on App Engine takes no time at all," Vlachoyiannis says. "Since Google takes care of administration, all we need to do is check how the system is performing."
BugSense has grown quickly since its September 2011 launch. It now has thousands of customers ranging from independent app developers to large enterprises. Google App Engine has scaled effortlessly to handle that growth, helping establish BugSense as a trusted name.
"Our customers love that we have a very predictable service," Vlachoyiannis says. "They love that we've never had downtime. They know that whenever they log in, everything will run as expected. Google App Engine has helped us accomplish this."
The company is saving nearly $220,000 per year by eliminating the need to purchase and maintain servers and hire two additional staff members. Perhaps more importantly, using Google App Engine has given Vlachoyiannis and his team peace of mind.
"Once we deploy our codes, we can sleep tight at night," Vlachoyiannis says. "With Google App Engine, we don't have to worry about anything going wrong."

Single, dual, or triple excitation laser configurations provide up to 14 simultaneous detection parameters, including 12 fluorescent colors plus forward and side scatter for size and granularity determination. For applications requiring exceptional sensitivity, a high-power blue laser (HPL) is offered in both single- and HT-loader formats.
easyCyte Flow Cytometers use novel microcapillary technology that enables a compact user-friendly format, which is powerful enough to run your most complex assays. These simple fluidics enable a self-aligning flow cell that can be removed for cleaning by the user. New, more robust lasers available in virtually any combination mean that you choose the excitation and emission channels that are a match for your lab's experiments and budget. All of our versatile optical configurations are available with an affordable single-sample loader, or an integrated multiwell sample tray option, for trouble-free walkaway acquisition of up to 96 samples.
All easyCyte Systems use a unique, microcapillary flow cell for easy operation and minimal maintenance
Direct absolute counts without reference beads
Absolute cell counts are a distinct advantage of direct sampling, and automatic cell enumeration is returned from every sample acquired on an easyCyte Cytometer. A positive displacement syringe pump enables not only direct sampling, but can adjust the flow rate as well to ensure clear data from a range of sample titers.
Automated Sampling for 96-well Plates
The easyCyte HT series enables walkaway sample handling for higher throughput assays using a built-in, automated 96-well plate loader tray, which can hold a 96-well plate as well as 10 sample tubes. To ensure that cells stay in suspension during sampling, a rotating, variable- speed mixing paddle with auto-cleaning is used between each well so there is no need for manual resuspension after loading the plate. This virtually eliminates carryover between samples and mixes more efficiently than shaking plate holder formats.
Single Sample Loading for Tubes
For manual sample handling in a cost-effective format, we offer the easyCyte Instrument with its rotating sample tube loader. The manual loader holds two separate tubes, allowing the user to progress quickly from one sample to another, or to wash between samples following an acquisition.
Thoughtful laser and detector selection ensures that easyCyte Instruments are compatible with familiar and trusted fluorophores, as well as many of the newer dyes that offer advantages such as increased brightness or photostability.
The easyCyte format is compact and offers many new innovations in optical performance and software.
Accuracy on the easyCyte 8HT is shown using a human whole blood cocktail (FlowCellect® Human CD4/CD8 T Cell Kit). Results were comparable to a predicate method on a sheath-fluid based flow cytometer.
Accuracy on the easyCyte 8HT is comparable to traditional flow cytometry
Superior small particle bead detection down to 0.2 μm now on the easyCyte 12 instruments
To ensure that cells stay in suspension during sampling, a rotating, variable-speed mixing paddle with auto-cleaning is used between each well so there is no need for manual resuspension after loading the plate.
The mixing feature virtually eliminates carryover between samples and mixes more efficiently than shaking plate holder formats. Data shown below confirms that carryover is minimized with this format.

My First "Fresh Loaf" Loaf
I've been wanting to get into baking bread for a while, and coming across the Fresh Loaf site gave me the final push to have a go and get my hands dirty (doughy)! So here is my first report in baking "artisan" bread from the point of view of a complete novice.
After looking around numerous sites for good beginner loaf recipes, I finally bought Floyd's handbook from the Amazon Kindle Store. Its a great little book, and I think I will be doing quite a number of the recipes he features in it - but first I went for the introductory loaf - French-style bread.
As you can see from the picture above, it didn't turn out too bad for a first attempt - I'm pretty proud of my efforts!
Baking Floyd's French Loaf
Living in the UK, I don't have measuring cups, so after some research I went with a 120g flour to 1 cup raito - See my comments later on what I'll do next time.
I used 300g Strong White Bread Flour (Waitrose Leckford Estate), and 240ml of warm water, with the salt and sugar as stated in the original recipe. I currently have some instant fast-yeast sachets (Allinsons), and so used half a packet.
Once all mixed together the dough was pretty wet, and a lot of it started sticking to my fingers (slightly stress inducing). I found sprinkling flour on the work surface (granite) and directly onto the dough helped (as Floyd states) for a short time, but as I kept kneading, the dough would quickly become over-sticky again. I'm wondering whether the granite work surface has anything to do with this? Things became easier after repeating the sprinking of the work surface about 4 times (using a tablespoon of flour each time). I also tried a small amount of oil of the work surface, and again it helped for a short period of time, but the dough soon became quite sticky again.
On reflection, I think my hydration percentages might have been a bit high? (see, I've been reading lots of books about the subject!). However, I did end up with quite a nice light silky dough which looked like this after "rising" for 2 hours - I smaller bowl is needed for a more impressive rise I think!
I didn't find shaping the loaf as difficult as I thought it would be - again Floyd's instructions are really easy to follow. I left the shaped dough to rise for another hour, although to me it didn't really look any different between the first shaping and leaving it for an hour.
I have a fan assisted oven, and pre-heated it to 220C. A bread knife worked well to score the loaf, although I think I could cut it a little deeper next time. I also added a cup of hot water to a roasting pan as a put the loaf into the oven on the middle shelf. After 5 minutes I turned the temperature down to 200C and then after another 5 minutes I rotated the baking sheet. The oven-spring was impressive, the loaf really ballooned up nicely.
The loaf was then left in the oven for another 10 minutes (total time 20 minutes). We couldn't wait for it to cool very much before trying it out, and it tasted pretty good!
Changes for Loaf #2
The loaf turned out much better than I could have hoped for, and its given me the inspiration to keep on practicising - I think I'm hooked! For loaf #2 I think I'm going to make a few tweaks:
- Increase the total baking time by an extra 5 minutes - the bread was a little doughy in the centre
- Increase the amount of flour to something like 330g (133g per cup) to try and reduce the wetness of the dough
- Really make sure I use no more than 240ml water
- Use a chopping board, rather than granite for the kneading surface - would this be easier or not?
- Knead the bread for longer (I need the practice) - I assume more kneading can make a "lighter" loaf?
- Score the bread a little deeper
Loaf #2 will be baked tomorrow so hopefully I'll continue reporting my adventures in "proper" breadmaking then.
Comments and suggestions always welcome! Cheers for now!

Kerry Kennedy defense says treat her like anyone else
Kerry Kennedy charged with drugged driving
Kerry Kennedy's lawyer in her New York drugged-driving case is complaining that prosecutors want the court to be tougher on her than on ordinary defendants.
Attorney Gerald Lefcourt is trying to get the case dismissed. He filed papers Tuesday claiming the district attorney's office is holding Kennedy to a higher standard because of her famous surname.
Kennedy is the daughter of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and the ex-wife of Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
She was arrested in July after her Lexus swerved into a tractor-trailer near her home in Bedford, 35 miles north of New York City. She says she accidentally took a sleeping pill instead of her thyroid medication.
The prosecution has argued a dismissal would make it seem people of wealth and privilege are treated differently.

I could probably up that by telling you my favourite phrase for a penis? (It's massive throbbing gigglestick just fyi god I love shitty fanfiction)
Yeah, the waiting is the worst bit. Plus I live close enough that I could go home and come back again but then I'd have to deal with the going home and coming back again. I was in year 10 when I first joined BA and it was always open while I was at school xD I am definitely a morning person and as such having classes that go til 8 or 9 at night is in fact the worst. 100% agreed on the things being easier.
It is fun but it does take up a bunch of space on your phone, which can be a problem. Idk if you know Stuart, but he was also telling me about it the other day and I was like 'microtransactions? oh goodness I can never resist those...'
Sounds like a plan~
That's totally understandable, aha, I do that with texts all the time?
I try and do stress relief, but sometimes it stresses me more because I think of what I need to do and then anxiety kicks in and like... yeah anxiety and stress are a bitch, yo. Still, I'm trying and that's the main thing. Oh good, I'm not the only one who uses it xD My university is small and thus doesn't offer many (read as: any) options for different lectures and tutorial times. It's a 12 hour day but I have two three hour breaks which sucks more because then I'm stuck, waiting. Still, I have a three day week which is nice.
Yeah, I have played magic like twice? I mostly just stick to Hearthstone, it's cheaper :P YES! Please do I love D&D it's great. I have a character who did the horizontal tango with a goblin and then we the players spent the next year wondering if she was pregnant. It's good times.
I can never seem to escape stress, it's a problem. And yeah my time crossing over with east coast nocturnal people is often fortuitous. D&D is good fun and 5th Ed (the current edition) is super easy to get into. If you want to get into it I can totally help you out with that? Also as I typed totally I was like what is this, 2016? before remembering that it's 2018. Ah, 12 hour uni days. It makes total sense to me. I know a bunch of people who play Magic but not Yu Gi Oh. My partner and his friends periodically play which is cool.
Ah. Man, Australia's system is so much better. And that is a good philosophy to have. Very non-stressy. Ah yes. See it's nearing my bedtime as I am strictly dayturnal if that is even a thing? I'm basically a grandma unless it's a Saturday night, at which point I have to run D&D when I'm trying to not crash and burn. Nocturnal must be nice and quiet though. Also from the time zone I am guessing east coast?
Yeah, I'm in my last couple of semesters which is nice. Isn't college super expensive over there? I feel so lucky when I hear about it. Free time to pursue your interests is great. Haha I'm not surprised that he's sitting next to you, that's hella sweet. Isn't it nearly bedtime there? :P (Depending on the coast I guess?)
University assignments, curse tertiary education. I am currently studying full time and not working because I have much studying to do. What is your job? Little victories are great. I probably should ask him, but I figure he will stalk me at some point and see it? Also, I'm trying to flesh things out a bit still.
Agh, you guys are so great. I have a vague idea for my standard Bleach RP Character's zanpakuto, at least themewise, but abilities often leave me blanking :P I may bug him after my next class and be like hey help a friend out...? Also I need to sit down and read all of your history stuff for your RP but like... Assessment is a thing that I have, aha. Maybe tomorrow, which is a public holiday (yay)
Thanks! Building zanpakuto has always been a weakness of mine ^^' And nowadays I'm more versed in building D&D characters than anything else. I want to build a character for the standard Bleach RP and then maybe do a side plot with yourself and Wayne (if that is okay and we all have time) which I'd like to build a different character for. This will be fun.
Okay silly question, where can I find Benihime and Raizen's profiles?
Bless you, thank you. I like me some templates. I appreciate your help <3
