TL;DR Version:
1.) Ban Steadman. This behavior should not be tolerated and his punishment will send a clear message to others that we won't put up with it, period.
2.)Moderators of forums need to do just that; moderate. Police thread hijacking, bumping, double posting, ect.
3.)People who run leagues/arena's should be actively playing in them.
4.)Qan and Ogron would do best for the community to get along.
5.)People on staff that are inactive need to be replaced. Staffers that are inactive for long periods need to start from the beginning of staff training ie. ZH to ensure they are competent and to reestablish with the community that they are staff.
Leaving my opinion here; Steadman should be banned from TWDT for harassment, poor sportsmanlike conduct and creating a uninviting game exeprience for others. Rather than looking at losing 1 player, think of the dozen he just pissed off and the potential to lose them. I'd favor keeping the players who showed up and tried to have a fun day rather than 1 salty player. It seems like a no brainer. Warnings are pointless, set an example and ban the guy so that others who may try to act in similar fashion can think twice about it or face severe consequence.
Thread hijacking; while I do appreciate a good read, especially when Ogron is laying it down (albeit he has been spot on for most of it) but I think the blowout should of been placed in it's own thread. This should be strictly related to our opinions on Steadman's behavior and punishment, not about how people are being screwed over or how poorly the league is being run. I'd ask moderators to start policing issues like thread hijacking, bumping and double posting (solider13). Appearance is everything and when things look this sloppy and unorganized, it's never good. Some vets or even new players may come here and see this mess that these forums are and get the wrong impression of the state SS is in currently. (I'd say it's OKAY.. Not good but not as bad as recent either. Just in case you wondered what I thought.)
Ogran/Qan; I do find myself agreeing a lot of what Ogron brought up. He has done a terrific job with our community, turning a joke league like TWDT into something fun and vastly competitive as well as creating TSL to compensate for TWDT downtime. TSL was much better when Ogron was running it, just look at who was active and that alone speaks volumes. TSL has never been the same or as fun since Ogron was usurped from being an OP, it's a fact. TSL doesn't have anything of value as it stands, it's a total waste of time. Last two seasons they didn't even do finals or did finals and had no idea why they were doing them in the first place because finals didn't mean shit (still don't). I am offended that Skyforger, after all the drama he caused was brought into staff less than 6 months afterwards and it wasn't even me who took the abuse from him. It's no wonder Ogron is upset that not only did said people go behind his back, undo all his hard work, tarnish his reputation and strip him of his powers but also promoted the guy who was constantly harassing him for months on end. Is Ogron healthy for SS? Absolutely, I think if you can't realize he is an asset to this game, you shouldn't be involved with anything related to competition for this game.
Which brings me to my glaring issue with Qan. Qan is a superhero in real life, I have no doubt. He goes above and beyond for us and really does his best to manage from afar. But he is not active enough to bare witness to all the issues we day to day players suffer. From Jessup, to Wiibimbo to Skyforger, staff has been all over the place and Qan has no opportunity to get the whole picture and has made really bad judgement calls because of that. Also, Qan is not a competitve player, hell, he is barely a player. I don't think Qan should have any input on competitve leagues unless it is on a technical level. Even as far as pub goes, Qan refuses to listen to criticism regarding it unless it comes from vets like Rab who like Qan, don't even participate in pub. Most of our pubbers, guess what? Don't fuck off on these forums but I know for a fact most of them don't like the mess pub has turned into. That's what it is, a total mess. Walls of green text, shit all over the map, this lie that it's not competitve yet there goes flag wins and player stats at the end of each round.
Pub has fallen so far from grace it's ridiculous and the large part is because of people like Qan who like pub but don't actually play in it, are making all these decisions that have huge impacts on the game to basically tailor to how they like to play pub, not how we like to play pub. Every single suggestion I have ushered forward has been largely ignored because of it, it's frustrating. It's no surprise more won't speak up, it's a waste of time. I really wish people who don't play in said leagues or arena's, would not have any input on how they should function; from Rab's pub nonsense to DW being this elim wizard. They should be based off of the most active people who continually use whatever it is, whether pub, elim or twd.
Closing thoughts; staff needs to be cleaned up and shown some love. MOM our billing op has been MIA for over a year, this is a huge problem and it needs to be addressed. Many of us have lost names and need MOM to restore them, even more so as of late since the huge influx of old vet's returning. Other staff like Qan or whomever, need to have less influence on leagues/arena's unless they are ACTIVELY engaged in those. That's not to be rude, it's just to best suit the needs to us players and create the best experience as possible for BOTH players and staff. Forums need policing just as the game does, moderators need to take some pride with them and keep things in order.
Closing statement; Imagine if Ogron and Qan, instead of bickering at each other and holding grudges from past incidents, worked together? They both are amazing cats who have so much wasted potential when they squabble at each other. My only hope is someday they can let the past lie and move forward. This game needs it! Thanks and have a great rest of your week.

EDIT: I wanted to add that if a staffer is absent for over a month, they should have their powers removed. If they decide to show back up 1 month or 1 year later, they need to start over with training, going through the proper channels ie. ZH and work their way back up. There are numerous staffers who pop out for months at a time, come back and decide to throw weight. Why do ZH's and ER's wear tags? To establish to the player base they are with staff right? So if people disappear for long periods of time, new players or old players who returned, not knowing them as staff, have no idea that they are staff when they decide to come back. Also, the whole point is and correct me if I am wrong; to fill staff positions with actively engaged players right? What ever happened to quota's? This needs to be addressed. Staff like MOM, should of long been replaced. Goes for Up In Ya !! and many others who are not active. If this sounds too severe, "thank god", because that should be incentive enough for those who want to be staff to be active and up to date! So many staff from yesteryear have no idea how many of the new functions operate. For instance, players being able to join squads from within the game rather than the website. If they were forced to restart from the beginning ie. ZH training, they would know this. Does this make sense?
EDIT 2: Just for you Tiny..

tldr it's finally Ixador who gonna bring the 3rd Reich to Trench Wars, i'm agree on most things.
But concerning Steadman, he should not be banned, he has the potential to be the best javelin so he is an important player. It's up to mythril to be a good coach and make him understand that he has to prove on the field if he wants to behave crappy and play all the games. If Ease arrives late and claims to enter immediately, he enters, that's normal. Sunday, Legio confronts Power, it is the perfect time for Steadman to prove that he can afford anything, or not?Trasher> lol hellrazor

As for my distrust of you, I'd argue it's really not unwarranted. Nearly every other week there was yet another point of contention between you and someone else, and always there was the question, "Has Ogron overreacted again, or is he in the right?" It's extremely difficult to trust a person with a temper. Do you trust yourself? I don't need to go into detail about what happened just before you left with the forums. After that, do you still believe yourself worthy of trust? I don't mean to disrespect you by saying this, but I don't think it would be prudent for anyone to ever fully trust you again.
I'm not saying that you'd lie outright. But I do think you are prone to certain kinds of errors of judgment stemming from your temper.
I also (of course) make errors of judgment. I can't say for certain why TSL trailed off. But from what I understand, the two biggest issues were 1) a lack of real competition, with games feeling too uneven, and 2) a lack of any satisfying conclusion. Possibly a third would be activity playing too big a role in the final standings.
The first issue I certainly have some hand in, having changed the matchmaking algorithm so that it didn't simply put the best available players in. The league was being billed as inclusive, yet it was anything but, and the complaints were pretty regular from players who were excluded by it throughout S1. Including complaints about some ratings being tweaked to prevent people from playing, i.e., ratings that did not reflect their real skill but were instead put in as a kind of punishment. Perhaps TSL just should have been rebranded as not inclusive, but instead as matchmaking for the best players who could show, and everyone else should expect to be benched/maybe not bother to show up. Anyhow. The final matchmaking algorithm, which attempts to create the most balanced possible teams given the possible players, and will make 2 tiers of games with better and worse players split up if there are enough to do so, may have worked well IF we had been able to start there out of the gate. But the numerous matchmaking changes in between resulted in matches that just were not all that competitive or satisfying, and some vets stopped playing. Meanwhile, TSL had brutalized TWD; this happened from the very first week of Season 1, if you check games played... IIRC dropped to about 30% that first weekend, never recovered, and by August 2017 TWBD was basically dead.
For the second issue, for some reason we had finals, when it makes no real sense to do so. That was an existential problem that plagued TSL from S1. Can anyone say why TSL has ever had finals? It wasn't thought through well enough. When they were cancelled due to lack of interest in S3, and when the decision was made to not even include recognition on the map for winning finals starting out of the gate in S1, we all made it clear finals were completely meaningless from the get-go. Simply having a cutoff date like Elim and rewarding those with highest value would probably have been the better move, rather than trying to pretend finals in a league based on personal performance should have any weight, and ending every season with an increasingly more anticlimactic "final" that nobody cared about playing.
For the last issue, activity having too big a weight, I'm guessing that one could be fixed by carefully adjusting the number of games that count. Rather than making hard jumps from 20 to 15, 15 to 10, 10 to 5, etc., could also experiment with numbers in between that give solid results. There's a spot in there where skill is rewarded and people are motivated to keep playing in order to improve their worst score, but you can't bruteforce a spot as an average player by playing every match.
As to anything else, such as staffing, etc., I'm never blameless. We're all just doing the best we can, working with who we can to do what we can. That's all we can do. I usually spend about 2 hours a day working on this game in various places. It's honestly pretty exhausting, and like you with TWDT, the main reason I do it is because nobody else is going to. Not because I'm some kind of genius at it.
(I'd saved this post up from yesterday. There are some things I'd like to reply to you, ixa, but just wanted to get this posted.)"You're a gentleman," they used to say to him. "You shouldn't have gone murdering people with a hatchet; that's no occupation for a gentleman."
-Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment
Thanks for breaking it down into points, heh. Makes this a lot easier.
Originally posted by ixa1.) Ban Steadman. This behavior should not be tolerated and his punishment will send a clear message to others that we won't put up with it, period.
Originally posted by ixa2.)Moderators of forums need to do just that; moderate. Police thread hijacking, bumping, double posting, ect.
There is some light moderation but largely forums, moribund as they are, run themselves. We take care of the obvious bits. And yeah, thread derailing happens. Some dislike it, but I don't think that's such a bad thing. Organic discussion's not so bad. We basically don't have the manpower, and at any rate, there's barely enough activity to justify it. If there are any staffers reading this who might like to work on moderation, maybe we can look into it.
3.)People who run leagues/arena's should be actively playing in them.
Regarding skyforger, people talk about him as having been "promoted." Officially he's a tagless ZH, brought on as staff for helping with leagues. He's also part of the leagues group, which helps plan league details. That group is pretty much open to anyone who's serious about wanting to plan leagues and are actively involved in playing them. (You may have noticed that official leagues posts are simply made by anyone who has the time to make them.) That's a surprisingly small group of people; by and large people just want to show up and play, and I don't blame them. Again, the days are gone when people can dump huge amounts of time into this game. We're all older. Many of the leagues planners are getting married, having kids, having to deal with end-of-life issues with parents, etc. Nobody has the time to be the frontman anymore, at least not consistently, for the long-term. We haven't had a steady head of leagues in literally years now. So for example, when Ogron said Henry is doing a fine job with TWDT, in fact, Henry's not really running TWDT (though he's putting in a lot of work! And serves as the moderator of the leagues group). Technically, nobody is actually running TWDT, except a group of people who, between them, have enough time to take care of all the loose ends. Not everyone likes this, but the alternative is to have a "head of leagues" that goes inactive after 2 months, mostly due to the massive amount of pressure, stress and outright hate that come with the job. Whenever a leagues head abruptly and inevitably quits, it causes all league momentum to die out, and we have to scramble to find someone -- sometimes, anyone! -- to replace them, even if it's a poor fit. It's not a good system. At least this way, we spread out the misery of such a thankless job a little bit. (And having said that, thanks to everyone who continues to work on leagues despite this. TW would fall apart without you.) Again, gone are the times when we have people who can dedicate huge portions of their lives to TW. We have to adapt.
3b) qan doesn't listen to people
I've tried countless times to make TW more democratic (mostly failed, though the experiments were interesting). So it's a tad ironic that I've now become the guy at the top. It bothers me if people feel like they have no say in how things work.
I understand like you feel you're being ignored on pub issues. I'm sorry that's been happening. Mostly my role is to try and aggregate public opinion, and go with that. Obviously, yeah, I'm going to need to make judgment calls, but I try to make those calls based on what I hear from people, not from what "feels good."
When you've posted ideas in the past, have you just posted a list of grievances? (Useful, though it's a single perspective.) Or have you put together a simple way to fix things, found people who've agreed with you, posted their names along with yours, and asked for others to support your idea? A single person's view is worthwhile. But it's only useful in the sense that someone like me can aggregate that with other views. It's vague and imperfect and much less impactful than some kind of proposal. And I don't mean the confusing mess that is http://trenchwars.org/TWPS/ ... I just mean, put together a single, clear idea and get some people to sign off on it, to show it's more than just you. Otherwise, it will always, ALWAYS be down to some guy like me to think about it and compare to other opinions, see if it agrees with what they've seen and implement or not implement based on that. There is no getting away from that unless you put in the work to show it's not just your opinion.
It's pretty easy to put in a vote for this kind of thing as well. Rather than relying on forums, which as you point out, almost no active players visit, we can get people to vote on issues in-game, and make real changes based on actual public opinion, rather than, again, "some guy" like me aggregating what he sees and hears. If you want to get beyond "some guy," you need to take initiative beyond a long forum post detailing what you, personally, believe is wrong. Because for almost every opinion you have, believe it or not, there is someone else who believes just as vehemently that things should be exactly the opposite, and that "some guy" is an incompetent idiot for not doing things exactly as he says. (With such extremes, you can imagine it becomes quite hard to find compromise.)
Regarding not playing pub enough, you're right, I do need to play more. Though over the years I've logged thousands of hours in pub. If I'm going to play, it's often going to be on an alias, because once I go in-game, I'm getting PMs, people talking in pubchat/teamchat, etc. You may not see me playing, but I do play. Just not enough. Japan time means weekend mornings are basically my only option, though I try to make time when I can.
By the way, the command to turn off the graphics all over the map is !helpoff. They're not meant to be kept on after you're familiar with the game. The bot notifies you of how to turn them off every time you log on, and there is information available in the center of spawn and at A1. As for greenspam, I've tried over the years to really drill it down to the absolute minimum, but we've honestly just got a lot of features these days, most by request/suggestion from players. Is what it is. Some parts you can turn off if you like. Have thought of a way to ignore the bot, such as having it send messages as public macros, and then players can Esc+I.
4.)Qan and Ogron would do best for the community to get along.
5.)People on staff that are inactive need to be replaced. Staffers that are inactive for long periods need to start from the beginning of staff training ie. ZH to ensure they are competent and to reestablish with the community that they are staff.
If you want people to be replaced ... well, replaced with whom? Very few people have any interest in joining staff anymore. It's not a great job. Applications are always open, but we just don't get many applicants. Few want to put in the time.
As for Mom and other billing ops being inactive ... yep. All I can say is that it's regrettable. They're not affiliated with TW and we have no jurisdiction there. I'm not sure if they trust anyone enough anymore to pass on the torch, either. Admittedly, if access were given to the wrong person, the results could be disastrous, and they don't have the time or interest to watch to see if someone will do the job well. It's possible we may have to suffer without billing ops for the rest of SS's existence. It's unfortunate that they blacklisted TW from having billing ops way back when, as it's totally cut us off from a lot of that backroom community, so that they basically have no idea who we are, and to some extent, vice versa. I don't think I've ever talked to Mom, and I've talked to Ghost Ship maybe twice. SpaceHiker of course I've talked to many times but AFAIK he isn't active as a billing op anymore (could be wrong). I don't have any solution to the billing op problem. Maybe someone else does? Any ideas?
6.)Thanks."You're a gentleman," they used to say to him. "You shouldn't have gone murdering people with a hatchet; that's no occupation for a gentleman."
-Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment
I think its very important that we all remember when pointing fingers at Ogrons or Qan method of management that we remember how many hours of unpaid work they have put in for our entertainment.
I dont agree with some of the changes qan has made in pub and I wish he could think a little less base and more open map in some instances but honestly I think you guys are really the heroes for how much you have done for this game which has been mostly unthanked.

Major Crisis/Ownix
- Oct 2007
- 833
People are giving Henry way too much credit here.. Yea, it's hard to put a periodic zoner.. Make a schedule.. Rules and many other content has been copied from previous seasons (no harm in that). I think some of the captains have put way more effort into making this TWDT happen than Henry has. Often I felt like Henry thought it would all happen by itself.Major Crisis
Ogron is hands down the most undisputed, organized, most successful league OP in the last 5 years and it's not even close. Need him to run another league.TWLJ CHAMP SYNDICATE
TWLJ CHAMP x3 dicE
TWLB CHAMP x4 dicE
People acting like running a league is hard lmao.. what set ogron apart was the hot or nots, predictions, stats etc, which you don't need to be running the league or staff to do. No other person running leagues has put that kind of effort to create excitement. Tsl was fun while it lasted but it completely killed twd so whether it actually helped zone activity is questionable at best
The biggest change needed is smaller breaks in between leagues, like what was done for basingcup and twdt right now. Let's stop pretending staff needs a break in between leagues as if it's excruciatingly difficult to throw up a schedule and have zoners running for signups
Both Qan and Ogron are/were huge assets to the game. Ogron is an idea guy that was willing to put in work and of course Qan is a dev (maybe the last?) willing dev to put in work. People aren't always going to agree with changes made by Qan or to pub but the reality is everyone is going to have a different opinion on what is good and what is bad. A lot of unfair blame is placed on the guys making changes because of the continued decline of the population. I don't believe this is due to the changes that people are leaving it is just this game is dying.
Truth is, this game is in severe decline and there aren't enough people left that care and want to do work.
I wish people would just get along because they could truly make great things working together (see TSL). Zid is right about leagues and the in between leagues are what is needed now a days. It is great we still have the quality of veterans willing to cap for TWDT and other leagues. These people should be commended as well for managing toxic personalities and putting in effort.
It might be noise, but actually it seems that the drop off in population has stabilized and not going lower. And if people come back in fall like before then its actually a slow uptrend.
So we should be able to have leagues and other exciting stuff for a good while. To turn the trend completely, we need to do a better job at retaining the low amount of new players that we do get. So getting pub and TWD right is super important. I would say both have been made easier for new players to get into, but still alot of room for improvement.Last edited by skyforger; 08-10-2018, 02:09 PM.

But there are chances that we are finally approaching the end of this nightmare.
I was testing a new, top-secret ;-) function that uses REGEXP_REPLACE as part of his logic and is called several times within a report region of an Oracle Application Express page and almost immediately i began hitting this haunting problem.
ORA-21779: Duration not active
I found myself screaming: "NO! NOT AGAIN!".
And this time it wasn't occurring on my Windows machine but on a full fledged Solaris server.
So, i contacted my friend John Scott who was fairly surprised to hear about that and together we immediately set out in pursuit of a solution.
The worse thing about this error is in that it's an intermittent one.
It may appear three times in a row then it can disappear for two times, then once again and so on, without any meaningful pattern.
At any rate, after a huge amount of try-this and try-that, John had an excellent intuition:
"It could have to do with the session character set".
He based this assumption on the fact that he experienced the problem only when he was looking at the page in the Italian version, but apparently the error didn't occur when the page was in English.
Given the fact that Apex, as part of its globalization logic, alters some sessions parameters depending on the current language setting, whose detection method is defined in the application attributes, it is perfectly possible that, by doing so, it's affecting the way REGEXP_REPLACE works when it is embedded in an Apex report.
With this theory in mind, i initially created two page processes, one occurring Before Regions and the other one occurring After Regions.
The former saves the current NLS_LANGUAGE into an application item and temporarily sets NLS_LANGUAGE='AMERICAN', the latter sets NLS_LANGUAGE back to its previous value.
bug fix part#1 (to be run right before the report):
select value
into :SAVED_NLS_LANGUAGE
from nls_session_parameters
where parameter = 'NLS_LANGUAGE';
execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE=''AMERICAN''';
bug fix part #2 (to be run right after the report)
execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE='
|| chr(39) || :SAVED_NLS_LANGUAGE || chr(39);
And you know what?
ORA-21779 is gone!
Since i implemented the ALTER SESSION fix, i haven't seen this error any more.
At this point i started refining the bug fix, because i didn't want to run these PL/SQL snippets before and after each and every region, but just before and after the offending one, so i converted the page processes into two special PL/SQL based page regions, surrounding the main report region.
And the report works fine.
Although we apparently managed to get rid of the problem, we couldn't precisely identify the root cause. The attempts to reproduce the error in a simpler scenario have failed, so it's not just a matter of setting NLS_LANGUAGE='ITALIAN' and call REGEXP_REPLACE, there must be something else going on behind the scene.
I am rather sure that it's a combination of factors:
- the use of REGEXP_REPLACE;
- the NLS_LANGUAGE setting;
- the function call to REGEXP_REPLACE inside a report region, as part of an iterative process where a CLOB object is eventually returned perhaps?
- some other component we don't even suspect of?

There are 289 birds and 17 trees in the forest (with 17 birds per tree).
Collection of daily Puzzles, Brain Teasers and Riddles. Try to solve one puzzle a day and check the solution in the next day.
The number of trees and birds together is 289...i.e 17*17..
First, I think that the question is very ambiguously framed...
And to add to it, the constraint given in the brackets adds to it...
So from the constraint, the number of birds per tree and the number of tree constraint gets kinda confusing...
T: no. of trees
B: no. of birds per tree
So, first take...
Then clearly we have
i. T and B are prime numbers.
ii. 200< T*B < 300
for example, (T,B) = (11,23),(13,17) etc
2. T == B (this is what one would interpret the question, but the constraint in the bracket kinda confuses )
Then clearly, its just another constraint added to the first scenario, i.e.
and iii. T == B
So, T = B = 17.
Answer is 17 trees.
The perfect squared terms between 200, 300 are 15,16,17 .
15*15 =3*75=75*3= 45*5 = 5*45, number of trees are not unique.
Similarly answer is not 16, because 16*16 =4*64=64*4= 32*8 = 8*32.(not unique number of trees)
But 17*17 = 289 ,
the factors for 289 only 17. So, for 289 birds there can be only 17 trees in the forest (with 17 birds per tree) and this is the only unique answer.
Well, the hint says for 5 trees, there will be 5 birds on each tree. so total number of birds will be 5*5*5=125. since total number of birds is a given number between 200 and 300, the combination of trees and birds should be 6*6*6, ie., there are 6 trees, 6 birds in each of the trees. this is the only combination which will give total number of birds within 200 and 300.
ya 17 * 17 is rite!!
oops, I understood the puzzle wrongly :(
Puzzle is very good. Nice collection.

He grasped the situation and the urgency of getting this fixed. He quickly assessed what needed to be done, and gave me a detailed plan for what he intended to do as well as a price quote that was very reasonable. Normally I would be nervous about committing to a service provider that I had found without coming as a recommendation from someone I know. However I was pleasantly surprised to have found Jacob, and warmly recommend working with him for addressing web issues, specifically technical matters pertaining to Joomla. I am happy to have found Jacob and look forward to working with him in the future on our web projects."

Log message: Simply and speed up buildlink3.mk files and processing. This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS, BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables (BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity. The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to half of the former time.

Music and the trailer
Hey everyone, just a quick update today. We're currently at 22% of our goal and 221 backers. That's a lot of 2's!
Today I wanted to share some music with all you cool kids.
This is the track from the trailer, and I think M.J. did a great job with it! Our goal with the trailer song was to separate the "hook" and the rest of the trailer with two different sections of the song. It starts slow and soft, showing the viewer the basics, and then turns into a faster, more rapid tune that allows for quick cutting.
The glitchy version is the one in the final version of the trailer, and the clean one is an earlier version from before we started with the glitchy/repetition idea.
Don't forget, if you want to see the game on Steam, vote for us on our Steam Greenlight page.

It's a trading site where you sign up for all kinds of swaps not just ATCs, some are not even art related and your swap partner is computer generated. (I don't know if I phrased this right but you get the point, right?) It's a little more risky but the novelty of it is still stuck with me for now.
Then I found Postcrossing where you mail postcards to random people around the world who's addresses are also computer generated so they are as random as they can get. :)
So, I'm into mailing postcards now. But here's the problem. I feel like postcards are near extinction. The only place I could find them was at the post office and at a newsstand but the variety was so poor it was ridiculous. I have to go on the hunt for postcards now. :)

First Supper is Ready! of 2015! A sin considering that yes, we have been cooking and that Oliva Canela is now part of the Top Food Blogs at myTaste. Here are some delicious recipes below including what might be the best white sauce for pizza around.
Roasted Cauliflower Quesadillas – Cauliflower, cooked lightly with olive oil, in a cast iron skillet is delightful. Outside of that we do not cook this beautiful veggie often. Everything from this Smitten Kitchen dish, from the quesadillas to the cumin-lime crema were delicious (as everything from this site is) and a success with the kiddos (the success increases exponentially with the amount of cumin-lime crema available for dipping).
Spaghetti with Crispy Eggs – Who knew pasta and fried eggs would go so well together?! Smitten Kitchen did and now so do I! It was fast to make and super comforting. I wished I had cooked 2 eggs for myself (and so did Chris).
Vegetarian Gumbo – Beautiful okra at the supermarket presented an opportunity to try out this veggie gumbo recipe. The vegetarian sausage and seitan were replaced with black eye peas. We also added some green beans and used veggie broth. SO good!
Spaghetti alla Putanesca – I have made this recipe before using the pesto recipe from Homemade Hearts but this picture of all the pesto ingredients was so pretty that I needed to share it. Such a good sauce!
Infused Béchamel Sauce – My favourite pizzas have white sauce. I love the buttery creaminess of a good béchamel over tomato sauce anytime. This recipe was adapted from the book Sauces & Salsas by Oded Schwartz and it was so good that our 3 year old ate a full slice of pizza for the first time. Recipe below!
- Infused Béchamel Sauce
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 small onion peeled and quartered
- 1-2 springs of sage
- 2 strips of lemon peel
- 2 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup flour
- freshly grated nutmeg to taste
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- In a small saucepan heat the milk with the onion, sage and lemon peel. Bring to a boil and then reduce to low. Simmer gently for 10 to 15 min. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Once the milk has cooled pour it through a strainer and reserve.
- In a small plan melt the butter. Once it starts to foam, stir the flour with a wooden spoon until well combined. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes stirring continuously. Do not allow to brown.
- Then add the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer while stirring for about 15-20min until the sauce is smooth.
- Whisk the nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Cashier: "Do you need a paper bag with that, sir?"

Ha, ha.
must of been before closing time at the bar…
A Scottish couple took in an 18-year-old girl as a lodger. She asked if
she could have a bath, but the woman of the house told her they didn't have
bath, although if she wanted to, she could use a tin bath in front of the
*"Monday's the best night, when my husband goes out to darts," she said.
*The girl agreed to have a bath the following Monday.
*After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman
filled the bath and watched the girl get undressed. She was surprised to
see that the lass didn't have any pubic hair. She mentioned this to her
husband when he came home. He didn't believe her, so she said:"Next
Monday, when you go to darts, leave a little early and wait in the
back garden. I'll leave a gap in the curtains so you can see for yourself."
*So the following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife
*"Do you shave?"
*"No," replied the girl. "I've just never grown any hair down there. Do you
have hair?"
*"Oh, yes," said the woman, and she pulled up her nightdress and showed the
girl that she was really generously endowed in the hair department…..very
generously indeed.
*The girl finished her bath and went to bed.
*Later that night, when the husband came in, the wife asked him, "Did you
see it?"
*"Yes," he said, "but why the hell did you have to show her yours."
"Why ever are you worried about that?" she said. "You've seen it often
enough before."
*"I know," he said, "but the dart team hadn't!"

He had no arms and no legs.
Three women, from England , Wales , and Scotland , were walking past and felt sorry for the poor man.
The English woman said "Have you ever had a hug?"
The man said "No," so she gave him a hug and walked on.
The Welsh woman said, "Have you ever had a kiss?"
The man said, "No," so she gave him a kiss and walked on.
The Scottish woman came to him and said, "'ave ya ever been fucked, laddie?"
The man broke into a big smile and said, "No".
She said, "Aye, well ya will be when the tide comes in."
A woman went to a pet shop and immediately spotted a large, beautiful parrot. There was a sign on the cage that said $20.00.
"Why so little?" she asked the pet store owner.
The owner looked at her and said, "Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of prostitution, and sometimes it says
some pretty vulgar stuff."
The woman thought about this, but decided she wanted to purchase the bird anyway.
She took it home and hung the bird's cage up in her living room, and waited for it to say something. The bird looked around the room, then at
her, and said, "New house, new madam." The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then thought "that's really not so bad."
When her two teenage daughters returned from school, the bird saw them and said, "New house, new madam, new girls."
The girls and the woman were a bit offended, but then they began to laugh about the situation considering how and where the parrot had
been raised.
Moments later, the woman's husband, Keith, came home from work.
The bird looked at him and said, "Hi Keith."

FRANKFURT, Feb 1 (Reuters) - German state-backed lender NordLB is selling the majority of its asset management arm to Warburg Bank and will pool it with the Hamburg-based lender's activities, it said on Thursday.
NordLB, which is ailing due to high writedowns for ship loans that went sour, will retain a 24.9 percent stake in the asset manager to be created under the deal, which will have 34 billion euros ($42.3 billion) in assets under management.
NordLB did not disclose financial details of the deal.
Earlier this month, NordLB decided to keep property lender Deutsche Hypothekenbank, which it had put on the block to repair its balance sheet. ($1 = 0.8033 euros) (Reporting by Arno Schuetze; Editing by Maria Sheahan)

DALLAS -- Unbelievable video as a fireball rips through a condominium complex in North Dallas.
And as of Sunday evening, one person remains unaccounted for. Police need the public's help finding 89-year-old Jacqueline McDonald, who has dementia.
She was last seen Friday night around 11:30 -- about the same time crews were called to Preston Place Condos on Northwest Highway near Preston. The fire quickly escalated to seven alarms. In the end, all 60 units are destroyed, leaving more than 100 people homeless.
It took firefighters hours to get this thing under control. No word yet on what started this fire in the first place.

So, I haven't had much chance to cook anything exciting from our cookbooks recently. We made cornbread again on Saturday morning, but added more sugar this time (maybe five times as much as the recipe states? We weren't really counting) so it came out sweeter. Not too sweet, but definitely sweeter. It was lovely.
I was idly flicking through my baking book on Sunday morning (because it was still out) trying to decide what I should bake from it to take into work next week, when I spotted the recipe for Welsh Cakes. Given that I was feeling slightly peckish at that point, it is no surprise my stomach growled make these now!
Luckily, I had all the ingredients to hand.
|The recipe wanted me to use lard. Who has lard in the fridge these days?
Also, those are sultanas, not currants. I don't think it matters.
The trouble with welsh cakes is, like scones, they require all that pesky rubbing of butter into flour. I usually have quite cold hands, which makes me a natural at that sort of thing, but I wanted them now so decided to take the easy route.
|I love my food processor so very much.
The only real downside to using the processor is it chops all the fruit up into little bits. I don't mind though.
|They're so quick, only five or six minutes in the pan and they're done.
|Just a light sprinkling of sugar to finish them off.
The recipe reckons it makes ten. I got sixteen out of it, plus a bit of left over dough to eat while I waited for them to cook. It think I might add them to the list of things to take into work.

Christmas Tags
This tag uses an old gingerbread man stamp that I drag out every holiday because I love him. Colored in Copics, icing trim was highlighted with Dazzling Details sparkly glue and then I added some white Flower Soft flocking. The paper is Nordic Noel? (new in current SU holiday mini catalog), with red baker's twine, and Christmas sentiment from Punches Three. I used the white cardboard that came in the designer paper pack to adhere the paper to so it gives the tag a little more body. I stamped over a dozen of these gingers so I will complete them assembly line style later today.

I am French/American visual artist currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia. I moved back to the United States in 2009 from Paris, France where I was researching 20th century French writers for my dissertation on autobiography and personal writing. Before that I received an M.A. in Humanistic Psychology for which I studied Journal Writing and Self-Growth.
My academic focus has been on identity, self-knowledge and self-understanding with a particular interest on identity fragmentation as regards gender and multiculturalism and how these issues are manifested and confronted in autobiography. I have continued this focus in my photographic work which now deals with many of the same issues from a personal perspective.
My work has most recently been exhibited at the Jim Cherry Media Center, Lyndon House Arts Center, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, University of Central Florida Art Gallery, Museum of Contemporary Art (Atlanta), and the SCAD Museum in Savannah.
In 2015 I completed my Master of Fine Arts at Savannah College of Art and Design and am currently represented by United Photographic Artists Gallery.

Eating a low-calorie diet in which carbs have a heavier presence at dinner may offer a host of healthful benefits, a study finds.
Researchers randomly assigned 100 obese male and female Israeli police officers age 25 to 55 to one of two diets for six months: a standard low-calorie diet (this served as the control group), or a low-calorie diet that offered more carbs at dinner. Both diets contained about 1,300 to 1,500 calories per day.
Nutritional breakdowns were the same for both groups as well: 20% protein, 30% to 35% fat, and 45% to 50% carbohydrate. But those in the experimental diet ate more protein than carbs at breakfast and lunch and loaded up on carbs at dinner, while the control group scattered their carbs more evenly throughout the day.
After six months the experimental group that ate more carbs at dinner saw more weight loss, body fat mass reduction and lower abdominal circumference than the control group. The experimental group also had higher satiety levels during the day than did the control group. This, the authors wrote, may be due to the fact that the experimental group had a smaller decrease in leptin levels than did the control group.

Hi, my name is Roni and I'm a pantser. (This is where you guys say "Hi Roni" to make me feel okay about myself.)
Alright, over the past few weeks, I've attended two workshops for pantsers--one by author Sandy Blair and the other by author Kathleen Baldwin--and have learned a lot.
First, I've learned to accept that pantsing isn't an affliction, it's just another equally valid method at getting to the same goal. But more importantly, I've learned that often, it is not really a choice. Pantsers and Plotters brains work differently--not just with writing but in most aspects of our lives.
Pantsers like creating order out of chaos, but in order for us to do that--we need the chaos first.
An example: I love to cook. I'm good at it. But, I am by no means a neat or organized cook. I cook like I'm on fire--pans banging, spice bottles littered everywhere, veggies being chopped at random moments, dishes piling up on every counter as I go. However, once the meal is ready, I present this lovely, gourmet plate of food.
So, my husband (who would definitely be a plotter if he were a writer) watches me do this at night with knitted eyebrows. "Honey, why don't you chop everything all at once? Why don't you move the salt dish closer to the stove so you don't have to sprinkle to world with kosher salt on your way over to the pot? Why don't you load the dishwasher as you go?"
To which I, of course, reply with a perplexed look, "Why would I do that?"
That would take all the heart and excitement out of the process for me. I can clean the kitchen after the meal and bring it back to order, but doing that during the cooking would ruin the joy of creating for me.
Now for him (the plotter), he gets pleasure out of sitting down to a meal knowing everything is already done and organized for the night. He will never "get" my viewpoint, just as I don't "get" his. But both are perfectly okay.
But what does this mean for you if you're a pantser? Well, what I took away from the workshop is that we have to go with what works for us and stop beating ourselves up. Otherwise, we are going to screw with our creativity. Here's the warning:
If you are a true pantser and force yourself to intricately plot out the whole book--it could kill your creativity and you may no longer be able to write the book!
Did you hear that?
The passion and excitement for a pantser is in experiencing the story as your write. If you write it all out in outline form first, you've already gone on the journey and you may lose interest in going on the same journey again.
Now, if you're a plotter, this is not the case. Plotters take comfort in having that outline and thrive with that order already in place. So if a plotter tries to pants, their stress over the unknown may choke their creativity. So the key is to know what works for you and to stop forcing yourself into a round hole if you are a square peg.
Of course, that's not to say that pantsers don't have to plot. Every story needs plot, obviously. But it's just a matter of WHEN we plot--before the writing (plotters) or during the writing (pantsers).
And it's important to figure out which way works best for you. If you're not sure which camp you fall into, try a few methods out and see what feeds your muse the best.
I've discovered that I'm a pantser, but like to have my characters backgrounds fleshed out before I start writing. I don't necessarily need to know what is going to happen to them, but I need to know their history and wounds. I think this need to know their past comes from my therapy background. Plus, I'm a character-driven writer, so I tend to show up with characters and a vague idea of the hook, then decide, okay now what journey are these people going to go on.
The downside of this is that I often end up with a lot of words I can't use as I write my way into the story (I have 10k in my cut file so far on my new WIP), but I enjoy the journey of discovery. If you are a member of RWA and get the Romance Writers Report, there was a great article called "Once More Into the Mist" this month on this very thing. Author Jo Beverley said she often writes 200-300k words for every 100k book she publishes. The thought is daunting, but that's what works for her.
So, moral of all of this: accept what kind of writer you are and stop trying to be something else because you may murder that fickle muse otherwise.
Alright, so I'm curious as to your thoughts on this. What's your process? Do you fly into the mist or have a GPS? Do you find yourself forcing methods that seem great but that just don't fit you? Did you try out various ways and see what works best? Have you ever done something that completely beat down your muse?

Last month I published Beyond the Paperwork: Practical Advice for Obtaining a Protection Order on this blog site. This month, as promised, I would like to address some strategies for defending against an order of protection.
As noted in my previous article, there can be grave consequences if a protection order is filed against you. For the purposes of this post, consider a "protection order" the same as a restraining order or no-contact order; the terminology changes depending on your jurisdiction and your relationship to the petitioner.
Protection orders must be issued by a court and are designed to prevent threats or acts of domestic violence, stalking, and harassment by limiting contact with the petitioner/victim.
Typically, the petitioner files for a temporary or emergency order of protection. Only the petitioner is present at the initial hearing and the judge will either grant or deny the request. The judge is likely to err on the side of caution based upon the petitioner's sole testimony; temporary protection orders are usually granted. A subsequent hearing is then scheduled (within two weeks) to determine if the temporary order should be continued indefinitely. At that time the respondent/defendant can present evidence to counter the petitioner's claims of threatening or violent behavior.
As a respondent, once you are served, you must abide by the terms of the protection order until the continuation hearing. It does not matter if the temporary order was based upon false or misleading testimony-do NOT contact the petitioner under any circumstances. You could face charges for contempt of court or violation of a protection order, with penalties that include fines and/or incarceration. Any communication with the petitioner before your hearing will all but guarantee a more permanent and restrictive protection order set against you. If others are included in the no contact order (children, other relatives, friends, co-workers) do not make any overtures to them either.
Alternatively, if the petitioner/victim violates the order by reaching out to you, do NOT respond in any way or by any medium. Document any of the petitioner's attempts to communicate and be prepared to share this information with the court and your attorney, should you retain one. This is a two-way street; no contact means no contact, and both parties must strictly adhere to the terms of the order. If you can demonstrate that the petitioner has made efforts to contact you, such evidence may negate the claim of fear or imminent danger from you.
If possible, hire an attorney to represent you. This is a contested hearing (to continue the protection order), with potentially devastating legal, professional and personal ramifications. If you cannot afford to retain counsel, seek out any low or no cost legal clinics or advocates that may be able to assist or advise you. Use CourtReference to help you begin your search: select your State and County, then choose the "Legal Aid, Lawyer Referral option from the Court Resource Category menu. You may also find links to your local and State Bar Associations under that option offering additional referral services.
In your search you will find many legal and social services advocating for victims of domestic violence. This is a compelling problem for the legal system, and it is understandable that the prevailing public policy is one of prevention and protection.
But, sadly, there are instances of false reporting of domestic violence. The claim is often used for strategic advantage in a divorce or custody dispute, or as a retaliatory gesture in a contentious breakup. It is difficult to refute a claim of "fear" of imminent danger, but it is not futile. You must rally all available defenses to challenge the alleged threats or acts identified in the petition for the temporary order. These will be the same "facts" that are presented at the continuation hearing.
The petition lists specific acts used to justify the creation and continuation of the order. Evaluate each incident and prepare your responses and defenses. Were your actions or behaviors mischaracterized? Particularly for the most egregious offenses alleged, do you have evidence that could rebut the petitioner's account or perception? If you have witnesses that were present at or around the time of the alleged incident(s), their supporting testimony will be critial in advancing your defense. Evidence that contradicts or discredits the petitioner's claims of threatening behavior may also include: electronic recordings (video, phone, social media posts, etc.), written witness statements, medical records, phone logs, arrest and conviction records, and law enforcement incident reports. Any credible information you can offer to show that no threatening or violent acts occurred may result in the dismissal of the order.
As mentioned earlier, overtures made by the petitioner after the filing will cast doubt on his or her actual fear of harm from you. Document any communication initiated by the petitioner, particularly any expressions of remorse or regret, or offers to "negotiate" a less harsh contact ban between you.
After preparing your defenses to each incident alleged, anticipate the petitioner's evidence and testimony. Does the petitioner have credible witnesses to support the claims asserted? If a witness is not believable, do have additional information to impeach his or her character or reputation? What physical evidence can the petitioner present to support continuing the order? As the respondent, you have a right to subpoena any records presented with the original order, and can also compel appearances by the petitioner's witnesses-including those who have provided written testimony, but who may be reluctant to appear in court.
Regarding your own witness testimony, prepare yourself and those supporting you. Practice what you want to say and what you believe to be your most compelling and persuasive arguments. Make sure your witnesses are comfortable and confident in their testimony. Confirm your witnesses' availability, and provide transportation or directions to the courthouse if needed.
I will reiterate what I stated in last month's blog article about demeanor and appearance. Do dress for court with some formality; observe courtroom protocol and show respect for the judge and court personnel. Speak only to the judge unless directed otherwise. Interrupt no one. Speak slowly and clearly, and give complete answers. If you do not understand a question, ask for clarification or simply state that you do not understand. If you or the petitioner require translation services, be sure to request that well in advance of the continuation hearing. In fact, if English is not the petitioner's first language, it is possible that some of the alleged incidents were not accurately translated in the protection order application or in the charging papers or incident report. If you believe this may be the case, challenge the interpretation and reliability of the initial translations at the hearing.
A final point about demeanor at your hearing. Since you are defending yourself against claims of potentially violent or threatening behavior, you must demonstrate contrary qualities of calmness and restraint. How you conduct yourself at the hearing will weigh heavily upon the judge; keep this foremost in your mind even if you are offended and outraged by the allegations leveled against you.
It is shameless that protection orders are used as retaliatory tools in relationships or for strategic gain in family court. But never dismiss these charges as trifling, or ignore a temporary order and allow it to continue indefinitely by default due to your inaction. You stand to lose significant rights as well as your reputation and status if the order stands.
Did you know that you may lose your right to possess a firearm if you are the subject of a restraining order? Regardless of whether you need a gun for employment (e.g., law enforcement, military), you will forfeit that right in many states and under the federal Violence Against Women Act you will lose the your right to have a gun or ammunition for the duration of the protection order. Also be aware that a protection order is a part of the public record and is generally accessible to anyone from your state court records provider. Potentially your current or future employment could be impacted by this protection order information, as many employers and prospective employers routinely perform background checks. When you submit to a credit check to purchase a home, secure a credit card, or rent an apartment, this disclosure could adversely affect your application. In a divorce, the perception of being a violent spouse could influence support and maintenance decisions, and certainly affect custody assignment and visitation of minor children.
I am sure you can imagine just how damaging the label of "abuser" could be to your professional and personal life. Don't let a false claim destroy your reputation. If you are facing such an accusation, I implore you to use any and all resources to seek dismissal of the protection order. And good luck!

ZooMontana is a 70-acre (28 ha) wildlife park located in Billings, Montana, U.S. and is Montana's only zoo and botanical park. It currently maintains nearly 100 animals, representing 58 species.[] These animals all live in habitats designed to imitate their natural habitats. The zoo was incorporated and established as a non-profit 501 C (3) organization in 1982. It focuses on year-round wildlife native to Montana, the Rocky Mountains, and other cold temperature regions at or above the 45th Parallel. Indoor habitats include animals from around the world.[3] The zoo hosts over 80,000 visitors per year.[2] Canyon Creek runs through the center of the zoo's grounds, creating a natural and tranquil park-like setting. 2018 marked the establishment of the Yellowstone Arboretum located on the ZooMontana grounds, containing a large selection of native and non-native trees.
ZooMontana is divided into two main "regions" in addition to other exhibits. The Asia Region starts by the wolves and is a paved path through a cottonwood forest. The path splits at one point and one half becomes a nature trail. The other path splits again, one going towards the Siberian tiger, and the other going to the red panda.
The North America Region includes habitats for wolf, grizzly bear, river otter, beaver, bald eagle, and bighorn sheep, as well as ponds for waterfowl including swan geese, emperor geese, Arctic geese, and domestic geese.
Several animals can be found indoors amongst the Living Wall habitats within the zoo's Discovery Center. These exhibits include animals from South America, Africa, and other parts of the world. These Living Wall Habitats include iguana, mink, chinchilla, western screech-owl, Madagascar hissing cockroaches, tiger salamander, ball python, box turtle, rubber boa, aracari, common degus, Columbian red tailed boa constrictor, savannah monitor, and several other snakes, lizards, turtles, amphibians, and arthropods.
The Barn is home to mostly domesticated animals, including Belgian draft horses, pygmy goats, peafowl, rabbits, and goats. During the warmer months, the turkey vulture may be found here as well.
Zoo guests also may visit the ponds and feed the koi for a small fee.
Beginning in 2016, the zoo will have new exhibits featuring takin, wolverines, bison, and raptors.
The one-acre Sensory Garden is planted with both native and exotic plants intended to stimulate all of your senses. It is a very popular site for weddings. The zoo also includes a Montana garden with native plants, and Dottie's Garden, which is home to plants that use very little water.[4]
ZooMontana is home to ZooSchool Preschool, an independent preschool which holds classes within the zoo.[5]
The Science and Conservation Center is an independent non-profit organization that is headquartered at the zoo. The center produces and distributes a wildlife contraceptive vaccine, and maintains records and data required by the Food and Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency. Working with the Contraception Advisory Group of the AZA at the Saint Louis Zoo, the center coordinates, and in some cases carries out, application of the contraceptive to wildlife.[6]
In March 2014, ZooMontana experienced flooding, and "more than three feet of water covered some of the zoo's paths."[7]

I'd sooner argue one of the first pictures:
It seems silly to classify them specifically as sandy bridge RAM kits. The timings aren't all that much tighter.
They're sporting AMD's logo too
nvm just realized they were a 4GB kit after rereading everything
Seems like the Corsairs were actually the best kit for the money there

Since I was brought here to actually do some work and not just zooming around on a snowmobile or wrestling polar bears, those last few days have been productive and were mostly spent indoors. The weather was rather cold, windy and lots of snow came down.
On Easter Sunday we all went to a magnificent Brunch Banquet at the Frobisher Inn. It was HUGE! So much food... so much great food... fresh strawberries in the Arctic, can you wish for more?

SAN FRANCISCO --San Francisco is making a bid to be the host city for the Super Bowl in 2016 or 2017 even though the 49ers are moving to Santa Clara.
Mayor Ed Lee has been quietly working with the 49ers to be the host city even though the game would be played at the new stadium in the South bay.
On Tuesday, the league will announce whether San Francisco is among the contenders.
San Francisco would host a myriad of events during the week leading up to the big game.
49ers CEO Jed York reaffirmed on Friday that San Francisco is the team's home.
He says if the 49ers win a Super Bowl, the parade would be on Market Street.
