Picture contest- Week 2- November 18
For those of you that missed the information about the Contest please either read last's week Blog entry or the information at the bottom of this post. Remember voting is open until the end of Saturday.
Throughout the contest I do three things.
First I tell you about the vote totals from last week.
Second I tell you about this week's pictures.
Finally I give you the bonus section, with a few extra pictures on the blog.
So here is the voting for last week.
1 snowdrops 6+8=14 18.2%
2 oriental lily 7+7+14 18.2%
3 calla lily 19+3=22 28.6%
4 poppy 20+7=27 35.1%
Total 77
The first number in the addition above is the electronic number (voting on the blog), The second number is the email vote.
The winner is----the Poppy--- beating out the Calla Lily. The Calla Lily actually led after the first two days. That lead did not last. All you Calla Lily supporters should not despair. The Calla lily can still advance. The four second place finishers with the highest percentages of votes will advance in January to the really tough competition.
This week's contest:
You can vote either on the blog or by reply email. I do prefer that you vote on line. That way everyone can see the results throughout the week. At the same time sometimes there are computer problems that make high tech voting difficult. Where have I heard that before. Comments are also always good. What do you like about the picture you pick?
The first picture, taken on July 1, is a closeup of an oriental lily called Nymph. There will be some closeup pictures throughout the contest. I wondered for a while if that was fair competition. Closeups can be so spectacular. Then I stopped worrying about that. Some people will like close-ups. Some people will not. So it goes. I like the little raised bumpy parts of the interiors of these lilies.
The second picture is a daffodil, perhaps called Goblet. It was not the best year for daffodils. We had a real bad freeze in Iowa about April 8 and the very cold weather lasted for several nights. We shared this weather with much of the country. Bulbs that were up very far at the time were mostly toasted. Some never recovered (but I am told will be alright next year) and some, like the hosta, just started over and grew an entire second set of shoots. The early daffodils had the structural integrity (that's a scientific term) of their stems compromised. They all fell over and wouldn't stand up again. It was the later daffodils that were appreciated even more because of the freeze. This picture was taken on April 21. I find this daffodil is so simple, so perfect.
The third picture is a daylily called Red Ribbons. I like daylilies. They are probably my favorite flower. There are so many good things to be said about daylilies. They have so many shapes and colors. They are easy to hybridize. An individual flower will only bloom for a day but a big clump can have 200 flowers over a 2-3 week period.
This one is a spider daylily, despite the wrong number of legs. A spider daylily has long thin petals. They were popular 50 years ago and their popularity is coming back. For other daylily spiders garden see the bonus section of the blog.
Finally there is a picture of just about my favorite peony, Coralie. I do not have many peonies. They do want sun. There is a great deal of competition in my garden for the sunny spots. Mostly, the daylilies were there first. But I do try to find room for about a dozen peonies. This was one of the last pictures that I took with my old digital camera, an hp that was just fine for many years. All of last year's pictures were with that hp. This year in June I got a simple Cannon with more mega somethings. I can now get more pixils or something in any picture. I just know that the old camera took some really good pictures, and this is one of them.
So here is the bonus section. Think of it like the footnotes. The pictures in this section appear only on the blog.
Here are two other spider daylilies. Their names are Long Stocking and Rosy Lights
Here is a full picture of the Oriental lily Nymph. This was first year for this plant in my garden. When I order bulbs in the fall I usually do not get more of ones I already have. I made an exception this year for Nymph.
Finally here is your weekly pumpkin picture. With the freezing weather coming they should really get good soon. In addition we have family coming from Chicago who because of the pumpkin shortage there did not get to carve pumpkins at Halloween. I have rounded up more pumpkins and I think after, Thanksgiving, we should try to fill all the plant hooks in the front trees.
Here is the repeat information about the contest:
Each Sunday evening for 12 weeks I will post 4 pictures from the garden for 2007. You get to vote for the one you like best. Those 12 winners and the 4 highest finishing second place pictures will advance to a round of 16. Over the next 4 weeks you will pick the four finalists. There will then be that one last vote for the fan favorite for garden year 2007. By that time winter will be mostly done, at least in Iowa. (in theory)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I know this is going to be a minority position, but I've got to vote for the daffodil. I love the white in the daffodil. It looks like two handkerchiefs folded (badly) by me. A wonderful and homely background for the beautiful yellow flower.

This (your photos & contest) should be just the ticket for helping us to "keep warm" over the winter. ;-)

I can't vote unless I know whether that's a scented peony or one of the (hybrid?) unscented ones. I have gotten to like both daylilles and hostas better than I did in my feckless youth, but I always liked peonies. Grandmother's came out before ours did; she was farther south, 4 blocks. And mostly or all scented. So, scented or not?

The consensus is that the peony is not scented. The pink floppy ones are pretty fragrant. They are floppy because they were bred for the cut flower market. This one, unlike the tree peonies, but like the floppy ones, does get ants.

Hi from Philadelphia. I love the blog. I just set the picture of the beautiful coral and yellow orchid as the background on my desktop. This week I voted for the peony because the petals are so delicate and the variations in the pink color are really wonderful.

by Angel-Light Love of Texas, January 4, 2016
on ♥Angel-Light Beamer♥
In service, we are Angel-Light Love & Team. Through this embodiment, we have facilitated the healing and wellbeing of people around the world for over 25 years. How can we assist you?
One can be chosen to be an instrument/agent/messenger for Divine—either long-term or temporarily. I was chosen back in the 1980s after I had spent a lot of time praying and meditating, ascending in consciousness, embodying more Soul, and asking to be placed in a life of service to Divine. Eventually, there came a mostly full-time Divine overlay (which has been only part-time for years now, as needed). Then there began a period of preparation, including no longer eating the flesh of animals at all (although that had almost stopped anyway as consciousness expanded). I also received Divine downloads of information—sometimes showing up as golden letters and symbols on my mind screen or encrypted golden pages/scrolls flowing into my person (light codes). I was reminded of this recently when a man called to report that he'd been noticing what he recognized as downloads. He said it looked like Morse code and the color of golden light or golden white light. Long story short, this man has been "officially" chosen to be a Divine instrument/agent/messenger. This means that he will sometimes be aware that he is acting or speaking as an agent, but at other times he will be used for the benefit of someone in need without even being aware of it. In case the reader is wondering, yes, one can be a long-term Divine messenger/agent/instrument and still be actively engaged in the secular/business world. Some are called to give it up; others are encouraged to stay engaged. I would remind the reader that Divine agents/instruments/messengers on the spiritual path are much needed in the business world at this level of existence. For many "chosen ones," it's a matter of personal choice to go one way or the other.
And then there are people who are chosen to be temporary Divine messengers/agents/instruments. When waiting in a very slow-moving checkup line at Walmart recently, there was the cutest little bright-light girl playing around the area, with her mother in line behind me. She asked her mother, "Do you want a Dr. Pepper?" They conversed, and I couldn't believe my ears when she said to her mother, "You need to drink a lot of water." I confirmed that I'd heard correctly with her mom and validated the child. She said her dentist had told her to drink a lot of water, and we exchanged more words. Discussion ended, and the girl began to sing, "This little light of mine. I'm going to let it shine. . . ." Do you get where I'm going with this? I know I need to drink more water, and I have begun to work on it. My beverage of choice. is iced tea—iced green tea to be exact, sweetened with Stevia mostly. And my sin beverage is Pepsi Cola (caffeine free)—not a lot, but on a daily basis. And this precious child's singing reminded me that I need to channel more Divine light through my being rather than allow it to diminish greatly when I'm alone. Living has become more difficult over the last six years, and it's been a challenge to radiate high vibration light constantly and consistently. Yes, Divine messengers can even be chosen to remind and emphasize what one already knows.
So it is to stay alert and open to Divine messages everywhere—via other people or in the environment (including words on a sign when walking or driving or a book someone is reading). Not only can guidance come into your mind or appear on your mind screen, it can show up externally in unexpected ways. In public, keep the head up, the ears alert, the eyes open and looking around. I would add to pay attention to what you're feeling in your solar plexus (seat of the emotions), but that isn't always correct. Sometimes there is a negative feeling about a person or a place that comes from experiences in past of this life or interactions in other lives but has no basis currently. Could give examples of this, but I'll leave it up to the reader's imagination as we've given examples in previous articles on this site.

Gee Whillickers!
Seeing is believing… or is it?
In today's world, there aren't a lot of things that get published that haven't been retouched.
Girlpower are the ones behind this ad concept. Showing just how easy it is to change someone's appearance. In this example, they take a 14-year-old and make her look like she's in her early twenties, and flawless.
"The media world is becoming increasingly fixated on appearances. And the number of tricks used to achieve the increasingly exaggerated ideals is growing. Many models have plastic surgery and even more are retouched so they appear to have bigger breasts, smaller stomachs or fuller lips.
"We wanted to show how easy it is to change someone's appearance in this ad."
– Girlpower
Following are a few more real-life samples of how retouching is used.

Gosh, That's Handy!
It is common knowledge that captions are sentences or phrases placed near an image or photo to explain or identify what you're seeing.
But not as well known is how high an importance captions should get. They can deliver the essence of a story with images and a few words and act like a cheat sheet to a reader. Also, when the headline fails to do so, a photo and caption combo can be a good safety net in leading the reader into the body copy (main text or article).
Identifier Captions are short and label-like identifiers for the image, without any extraneous words.
A telescopic tripod
Pull-Quote Captions are statements assigned to the image to personalize it or add more significance.
Don't even think about taking this without a tripod!
Narrative Captions are lengthier descriptions or explanations of the image that help relate it to the text.
This is a telescopic tripod used by photographers as a means to steady their cameras for shots that would otherwise turn out blurry from hand-held camera shake.
Essay Captions are long extension of the body copy, since they tell the story along with the photos.
This is an example of a telescopic tripod used by photographers today. Most early cameras actually came with tripod stands as a standard part to accommodate their former bulk and weight. It wasn't until smaller cameras were developed that tripods became a separate tool to steady the camera for shots that would otherwise turn out blurry from hand-held camera shake.
In photo-intensive layouts, more lengthy, but easy-to-read, essay captions are often used to actually carry a portion of the story. In this case, a person isn't just reading columns of text and then dodging off to look at related photos. This can be very useful in driving and guiding the eye of the reader.
Designers often employ different type fonts (Times, Helvetica, etc.), faces (condensed, light, etc.), colors and sizes for captions to help set them apart from the rest of the text. It also serves as a repeating layout element to which they can apply a varied style.

[ personal post | unhealthy to read | contain too much negative thoughts ]
Hi, Mark
I'm sorry in advance I bother you again by another letter. I shouldn't do this but you know in my letter you are not just a name to fill in blank behind the word 'to', you mean so much more than just a person, an idol or an image. You, are, beautiful inspiration of mine and thinking about you make me feel so light-hearted, so carefree, I can mumble whole day and list thousand things I like and love and admire about you as if they are never enough. You helped me a lot, really. So just, one more letter and I would be fine. I promise.
I've already kept promising to myself hundreds of time though.
Right now I feel so hard to breathe and things almost go wrong again, I just don't know why or what happened, I just don't know the reason(+s if they are more than one), or any solutions, or ways, I don't know. I feel so irresponsible to myself, to my parents but I am kinda helpless. I feel so strange, the way too much it separates me from social, from daily life, and I couldn't care less.
It's all about the unexplainable accidents happened to me all this time, like the only sentence appearing the most in my brain recently is 'I don't know', and after that is 'I don't care'. I don't know why I'm feeling down, I don't know why I'm hating people, why I must to live and talk with people because obviously that is not an easy thing for me to do. I couldn't get along with them, I couldn't get the way they're thinking, I couldn't even understand what are they talking about. Okay maybe I express my emotion the way too extreme, but I really mean it someway. I feel disappointed about people, I can't trust anyone anymore, I feel like I couldn't rely on anyone.
So, that's literally the reason why I just wanna be alone. It means I just want to live-by-myself and not to be bothered, annoyed, disturbed, by any kind of human. Is it ridiculous? Yes, I'm weird I no longer negate that. I started staying at home every weekend, just don't feel like going out, and at first it seemed ok, I could avoid people, annoying places and boring conversations. But day by day I feel less alive, I feel less interested in anything and I realize.. I'm dying in my own house. Home is safe, but no longer peaceful. Do you know that feeling? That you are slowly dying, your soul is withering, fading and perishing to the point you could do nothing to struggling but accepting? I just, don't know what to do with life anymore.
I'm thinking of moving out but clearly it's not even a choice for me.. I'm the one who wants everything better the most, I'm sure I want to live better. And suicide is not even a choice either. I don't hate life I just hate the helpless situation I'm stuck in. I feel truly weak, lost and distressed. I don't have good sleeps, every morning I wake up feel like I didn't sleep at all. I hate looking at me in the mirror because I feel too disappointed about myself and gradually I started feeling hatred all over my body. I became more grumpy, irritable and easy to get bad-tempered. After all I always feel so sorry because I made things worse and my parents don't deserve this, they don't have to suffer with me, they don't have to endure my problems. So that I'm faking that I'm still fine, everything is just fine, I'm doing well and I even encourage myself for that to happen.
But none of that is true. Sometime I wish I could think less, or have a simple mind, with simple life standard which easy to fulfill. I was just a normal person having dreams, with normal life and normal happiness, I just don't know where it turned wrong. I literally, don't know where to begin or to fix this, I don't even know what to do to feel better. It's like a trauma I would never ever be able to get off.
Don't worry I'm just mumbling again. I'm sorry for writing and posting this. I'm so sorry.

When Destiny Rise of Iron was originally leaked, it accompanied a sad news for the PS3 and Xbox 360 users: that the expansion might not release on their consoles. This was later confirmed by Bungie themselves, and now, they have also explained the lack of love for last generation users.
The community manager at Bungie, Eric "Urk" Osborne was recently discussing the reasons why this is the case.
The problem is that in order to let Rise of Iron run on the older consoles, some of the stuff will have to be taken away from the game, some major changes will have to be incorporated which would mean that fans on Xbox 360 and PS3 who paid for the base game might not be able to experience even that.
In order to add new content at this time, and especially on the scale and scope of Rise of Iron, we would have to take away from those older consoles, you would have to lose something. We still wanna make sure that people playing on legacy consoles still have all the content that they paid for to date.
So basically it is a tradeoff between making this as much of a major release as Bungie has promised or being able to release it on all the platforms.
So while the developers want to get "you new content that it's worthy of the title of expansion, new raid, new stories, cinematics, characters and places," they also don't want to destroy the lat gen versions in the process.
Alright that does make sense, but hey there is another reason too. Osborne has also revealed that 90 percent of their player base is now on PS4 and Xbox One. Why would they even develop something for the remaining 10 percent?
No I am not saying that, that is one of the reasons Osborne gave for not releasing Destiny Rise of Iron on PS3 and Xbox 360, saying "the overwhelming majority of our player base is now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Around 90%."
What do you make of that, folks?

by Harvesters Community Food Network
There has been a tremendous outpouring of public support for the survivors of Sunday night's (May 22, 2011) tornado in Joplin, MO. However, emergency response officials on-site are reporting that the town of Joplin has been overwhelmed with unsolicited donations, which divert precious resources from services needed by disaster survivors.
To help better manage the public support for Joplin tornado survivors, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Missouri Food Bank Association (MFBA) joined forces with Harvesters—The Community Food Network to alert other organizations and the public about the most effective ways to help, whether volunteering or donating resources.
"When a tragedy like the devastating tornado in Joplin occurs, we all want to do something to help," said Karen Haren, Harvesters' president and CEO. "Food banks in the Missouri Food Bank Association are working with FEMA to get the word out about useful things people can do to support the Joplin relief efforts."
Harvesters works through the Missouri Food Bank Association to coordinate disaster response in conjunction with FEMA and the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA). The Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster and FEMA offer those who want to help, or who are impacted by the disaster, the following advice:
The easiest way to help is to call 2-1-1 in most areas in Missouri to volunteer time or make a donation. For those who are out of state or unable to get through on 2-1-1, call 1-800-427-4626. Cash is the best because it offers voluntary agencies the most flexibility in obtaining the most-needed resources. Confirm what is needed BEFORE taking action!
Donate in-kind goods that are specifically requested or needed by recognized organizations. Unsolicited donated goods such as used clothing, miscellaneous household items, and mixed or perishable foodstuffs require helping agencies to redirect valuable resources away from providing services to sort, package, transport, warehouse, and distribute items that may not meet the needs of disaster survivors. Confirm the needs by contacting the voluntary organization of your choice before starting to collect.
If you have a quantity of a given item or class of item to donate, and you need help in determining which organizations to give to, you can make an offer at http://www.aidmatrixnetwork.org/fema and click on Missouri.
Sheltering: Missourians who need disaster information, shelter information or referrals also are urged to call 2-1-1 or 800-427-4626.
Locate a loved one: Residents affected by the tornado wanting to notify friends and family that they are safe, should go online to https://safeandwell.communityos.org/cms/. To check on a loved one, go online to the same site. It's easy, free and only basic information is needed. If you are not able to go online, call 417-659-5464 to register or find someone who has registered.
File an insurance claim: Call your agent to get this process started.
Register for FEMA disaster aid: Persons in Newton and Jasper counties are now eligible to apply for federal disaster assistance. The process is free, takes about 20 minutes and is available three ways:
1) Call toll-free registration at 1-800-621-3362; for those who are speech or hearing impaired, use TTY (800) 462-7585
2) Apply online at www.disasterassistance.gov.
3) Apply on Smartphones at m.fema.gov.
This assistance for individuals — both homeowners and renters — can help with minimal home repairs, temporary rental assistance and other serious, disaster-related expenses not covered by insurance or other programs. Survivors should keep in mind that registering for other forms of disaster aid is not the same as registering for FEMA assistance. A separate registration with FEMA is required to start the process.
Donate Money online at www.harvesters.org. Note "disaster relief" in the comments section.
Donate Food: To schedule a food drive, go to www.harvesters.org and click on Give Food or call toll-free 877-653-9517. Harvesters' most needed items are:
Canned vegetables
Canned fruit
Boxed meals (Hamburger Helper, etc.)
Canned meat/tuna
Cereal, hot and cold
Household products:
Toilet Paper
Volunteer at Harvesters: To schedule a time to volunteer, go to www.harvesters.org and click on Give Time or call toll-free 877-653-9516.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.
The MFBA is a coalition of six Feeding America food banks in Missouri serving every county in the state. Last year, Missouri's food banks distributed over 88 million pounds of food to hungry Missourians through a network of over 1,000 food pantries, shelters, and kitchens.
Harvesters is this area's only food bank and recently was named 2011 Food Bank of the Year by Feeding America. Serving a 26-county area of northwestern Missouri and northeastern Kansas, Harvesters provides food and related household products to more than 620 not-for-profit agencies including emergency food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, children's homes, homes for the mentally disabled and shelters for battered persons. Agencies in Harvesters' network provide food assistance to as many as 66,000 different people each week. Harvesters, which was founded in 1979, is a certified member of Feeding America, a nationwide network of more than 200 food banks, serving all 50 states. For more information, visit www.harvesters.org.
Locally, Community Blood Center has learned from many of its hospital partners that victims were transported to a number of Kansas City-area hospitals for surgeries and that the demand for life-saving blood will increase as the rescue and relief effort continues.
Local citizens interested in donating with Community Blood Center at a mobile blood drive should go online to www.savealifenow.org or call 888-0647-4040 to book an appointment and learn more about how easy it is to save a life in less than an hour. Additionally, donors can visit one of CBC's seven Neighborhood Donation Centers located in Kansas City, Topeka, St. Joseph, Gladstone, Blue Springs, Olathe or Overland Park.

A Cloverdale tribe called the Cloverdale Rancheria of Pomo Indians has received federal approval for its request to create a reservation on 62 acres of land in Sonoma County in California. The tribe has indicated that it has plans to build the county's third casino on the parcel of land.
Rob Muelrath, the spokesman for the tribe has said that the approval was a major step in going forward with their plans that will help with the economic development of the tribe.
A 575,600 square feet casino resort is being planned on the land which would include a five-story hotel, convention hall and an entertainment center.
According to acting Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs Larry Roberts, the restoration of the land to the tribe will enable its citizens to achieve long-term economic growth.
The $320 million project is being opposed by officials of Cloverdale city and the county who say the project is too massive. The county issued a statement after the announcement saying that it was reviewing its legal options for deciding on a course of action to protect the county from the ill-effects of the casino project. The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to have a closed-door meeting later this week to discuss the issue.
The proposed Cloverdale Rancheria project would be the second largest gaming complex in the county after the $800 million Graton Resort and Casino located near Rohnert Park. The county's first tribal the River Rock Casino near Geyserville has seen its revenue drop significantly after the Graton opened in 2013.
Visitors from the affluent Bay area would have to pass through both these casinos to reach the location of the proposed casino by Cloverdale Rancheria. Experts have said that the North Bay market is considerably oversaturated and the tribe may find it difficult to finance the new casino.
Muelrath stated that the final scope of the project will be decided based on dialogue between the tribe and the county government, emphasizing that the tribe wanted to be good neighbors.
The next step for the project is arriving at a compact agreement with the state's Governor Jerry Brown.
The casino project has been under discussion since 2007 and the tribe had tied-up with a Native American corporation Sealaska at that time for financing and managing the project.
Two earlier proposals floated by Cloverdale Pomos to build a casino, first in 1993 at site near Fountaingrove and another in 1995 near Petaluma were both dropped after enormous local opposition.

Cherry Ridge Farm is located two miles from Bovina Center, New York in the beautiful Catskill Mountains. Bovina is a wonderful little town, frozen in time, and tucked away in rolling hills only 3 hours from New York City. Time truly stands still up here!
Our farm house is very private, set back from the road on 145 acres of property and adjacent to state-owned land. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and one full bath off a large hallway. On the main floor are a fully equipped eat-in kitchen, living room, dining room (seats 10), laundry, half bath and kids playroom (with board games, toys and videos). We have kept the house simple and unpretentious. It is decorated with a mixture of antiques, original art and family favorites. Renovations include refinishing the old pine floors throughout the house, new windows, plumbing and appliances.
Across the front of the house is a big covered porch with plenty of comfortable seating for relaxing, dining and views of the perennial garden.
Outside, there are two old barns. We have made the upstairs of the horse barn a game room so the kids can play ping-pong and air hockey on rainy days. It also doubles as a quiet space for painting and drawing.
In 2013 we built a swimming pond about halfway up the hill behind the house, with a dock for sunbathing and relaxing in total privacy. There are also 2 1/2 miles of trails on the property for hiking, running, mountain biking or strolling through the fields and woods and observing nature. At night, next to the stream that flows behind the house, you can build a bonfire in the fire pit and watch the stars and satellites above.

As everyone knows, O'Neal manned the middle for the Lakers during their three straight championship runs a decade ago. He often referred to himself as "the CEO" of those teams -- which, of course, led to the clashes with Kobe Bryant.
Bryant said he tweaked his shoulder while dunking on Antawn Jamison in practice Tuesday, but it didn't start hurting until later that day. He wanted to play against Portland, but the team overruled him with six preseason games still left on its schedule.
"We've got a guy who can play above the rim, which we haven't had in years," Bynum said. "It makes the game that much more easy, just his presence out there on the court."

Originally posted by nofather View PostFinally getting to the manuscript, I really appreciate that there's a wide variety of example Sin-Eaters and geists (geister?). I like the lighter mood for the game, too.
The examples of Geists are a relief, for sure. I found them hard to come with in 1st edition.
Can't wait for the new preview today - as I thought the mechanics were one of the weakest part of 1st edition, this will be a pivotal chapter!
OK so today's preview is good BUT I wished it came with the Conditions Appendix as it makes getting the Haunts a bit hard at times!
Would it be bad form to do a 'kick the tires' step by step creation thread for the game on the forum? It has not been released yet and the previews are limited to backers, but I won't be revealing a lot of the details; more just checking out the processes
Thoughts ripple out, birthing others
I've noticed some inconsistencies, sadly. Some are just wording (i.e. is it Root and Vine or Root and Bloom) but the Character Creation Quick Reference section mentions two things the full section doesn't, unless I'm missing it---namely, the quickref section mentions something called Passion and states that Bound get the Medium merit free, both of which are not in the preceding text.
I'm no less excited and interested, mind you!
EDIT: Also, Touchstones. Character Creation says you start with two Touchstones and implies a connection to Root and Bloom. Then the Touchstones section says you start with a Touchstone at Synergy 1 and get more as you go along.Last edited by Beans; 07-09-2018, 12:56 PM.

Where I try to make Artifacts. When I finish them I'll probably post them in the Artifact Workshop thread so people can help me hammer them into shape.
Well, that was a really nice preview. Keys are creepy, Deathmasks are scary, Haunts are horrifying. I think In like the Geist Creation and Unleashing process, as it actually treat it as a distinct being, with wishes and needs of its own, while still bound to its Sin Eater. I do like the fact that I've predicted the "memento collection" trend that Sin Eater society has (I mean, it just looked so appropriate!), and that for Sin Eaters, being "Dead" is a Condition :P
I'm still not sure how I feel toward the fact that Sin Eaters don't actually have any "karma stat"- they can cheat, steal, murder and even eat other humans- when one of their Haunts actually require the last one- but as long as they don't eat other ghosts, no worries! Sure, it may cause Crises Points to their geist, but again, it only puts a greater emphasis that the responsible character in the due in an half mad ghost who can't even recall its own name, which means something. On the other hand, I assume that it does works well with the whole "the Bound are dead and soulless, inside and out", and that "death is freedom and celebration unbound by human soul" things which goes on.
Also- as any Deathmask can bestow a Reaper status upon a ghost, it means that Sin Eaters must be very careful about killing other Bound and their geists, or else an unsuspecting ghost may become a servant of the Chthonic Gods. Also, doesn't it give you the feeling of a non Sin Eater Krew which serves the gods of the Bellow and kills Sin Eaters in order to create more Reapers? Yikes.
Now I'm really eager to see the "non Sin Eater" Archetypes, and how they operate in the Bound society :P

Jeff on the Kickstarter website said he would try to get us the Conditions chapter early
I think the intent of the last level of the Caul is that it isn't Ectophagia-the ghost so eaten puts himself back together, because his mind is still intact. He likely wants to jump into a shower pipe and never come out, and he has some choice words about your love of beans, but he's physically intact. Hell, it's possible he came up with the idea, because you're material, and he's not.
That needs to be specified.
Hi! I have read pieces of the first preview, and I'm think is the order of the chapters not inverted? Should Chapter 2 be the first one? The Road Back (Chapter 2) is kind of setting right? and The Quick and the Dead (Chapter 1) deals with Characters and little setting.
Maybe it's just me but it feels as if in Exalted first you explain the Celestial and Terrestial Exalteds THEN you explain Creation. Kind of odd, usually World of Darkness (now Chronicles of Darkness) started with the setting to understand a bit the characters not the other way around.
Gangrel Clan forever!!!
It makes the books easier to use as references after the first time you read them; splats are at the front, Conditions are at the back.
The 2e book template goes Intro - splats - setting - rules for the supernatural beings in question - core storytelling system - antagonists - sample settings - storytelling - minor template - conditions
With some variance for different lines. I have, in the past, asked if I can put the core system before the splat-specific rules and been told no.

- About this Textbook
This book provides an overview of different topics related to the theory of partial differential equations. Selected exercises are included at the end of each chapter to prepare readers for the "research project for beginners" proposed at the end of the book. It is a valuable resource for advanced graduates and undergraduate students who are interested in specializing in this area.
The book is organized in five parts:
In Part 1 the authors review the basics and the mathematical prerequisites, presenting two of the most fundamental results in the theory of partial differential equations: the Cauchy-Kovalevskaja theorem and Holmgren's uniqueness theorem in its classical and abstract form. It also introduces the method of characteristics in detail and applies this method to the study of Burger's equation.
Part 2 focuses on qualitative properties of solutions to basic partial differential equations, explaining the usual properties of solutions to elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equations for the archetypes Laplace equation, heat equation and wave equation as well as the different features of each theory. It also discusses the notion of energy of solutions, a highly effective tool for the treatment of non-stationary or evolution models and shows how to define energies for different models.
Part 3 demonstrates how phase space analysis and interpolation techniques are used to prove decay estimates for solutions on and away from the conjugate line. It also examines how terms of lower order (mass or dissipation) or additional regularity of the data may influence expected results.
Part 4 addresses semilinear models with power type non-linearity of source and absorbing type in order to determine critical exponents: two well-known critical exponents, the Fujita exponent and the Strauss exponent come into play. Depending on concrete models these critical exponents divide the range of admissible powers in classes which make it possible to prove quite different qualitative properties of solutions, for example, the stability of the zero solution or blow-up behavior of local (in time) solutions.
The last part features selected research projects and general background material.

Tonight I stopped by the Fox Tax Gallery to check out Opening of a new show called Post Apocalyptic Blues in northeast Minneapolis. The show features local artist Laura Andrews, Elisa Berry Fonseca, DC Ice, Kyrié Kotlowski, Joshua Mercil, Katie Parr, Jon Reischl, and Jeremy Szopinski. I must say the show a a great diversity as to different mediums of art and their portrayal of the show itself. If you have time, head down and check out the show it will be going until April 15, 2013. I want to give a special shout out to my friend Katie Parr for showing her work at the venue. You check out her and other artists work out from the links below.

Most riding mowers now use a clip with a square key to secure the rear tire to the axle. Early models of MTD riding mowers use only a bolt that threads into the axle shaft. The rear tire can become stuck on the axle shaft when you remove the bolt to change the tire. The meeting point between the rim and axle can seize due to dirt and rust. There is no simple way to remove the tire and rim. The area of contact requires penetrating oil to work through the rust that is adhering the tire and rim to the axle shaft.
Park the MTD riding mower on a solid level surface such as the driveway or garage. Place a floor jack under the rear frame of the mower, and place wood blocks in front of the front tires. Raise the rear of the mower with the floor jack until the rear tires are six inches off the ground.
Position a jack stand under the rear frame on each side of the floor jack. Adjust the jack stand arms to meet the frame. Slowly lower the mower to allow the jack stands to support the weight of the mower. Leave the floor jack under the rear frame as additional support.
Spray the mounting bolt with a spray penetrating lubricant. Spray the area behind the tire and rim where the axle inserts into the rim with the spray penetrating lubricant. Allow the lubricant to work for twenty minutes.
Remove the bolt in the center of the rim that secures the rim to the axle with a socket wrench. 1986 and earlier models of MTD mowers do not use a square key or a cotter pin. Grab the tire on each side with your hands, and rock the tire off the axle.
Place the end of a small one foot long board between the center of the rim and the outside edge of the rim, if the tire and rim will not budge. Tap the other end of the board with a rubber mallet to move one side of the rim. Move the board to the other side of the rim and tap with a mallet. This usually loosens the rim enough to pull it off the axle. If necessary spray more spray lubricant between the axle and the rim and allow the lubricant to soak.

It 's an hour away from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, in the heart of "Bitronot Ruhama" Nature Reserves. We have a retreat center that has been used by groups to celebrate holidays or events, have yoga or dance classes, for field trips and learning about gardening - the imagination is the limit. We have a hydroponic garden, an outdoor garden, a grey water system, a mudhouse, two pools, and we are continuing to develop new things. We enjoy our peaceful life out here and take daily walks around the area to enjoy the wildflowers and the sunset. There are two dogs and two cats who live here, so you must like animals!
The volunteers have a room of their own in the house. There is wifi and any kind of anything else you may need, including hammocks to lounge in and papayas and passionfruit freshly picked from the garden. We would like to have volunteers who can help out with the room maintenance, laundry, general house work, and gardening. We would love to have volunteers develop some projects of their own as well. We are looking to get some yoga started in the retreat center and we would like to have artists who paint, sculpt, etc.

NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE! It was the best experience so far. Ram is an angel and his place surrounded by nature is very peaceful! We applied to stay 1 month, but we stayed 2 and we did not stay more only because our visa, otherwise we probably would be there now hahaha. We will remember this experience for the rest of our lives as well as Ram (Pica, Toto and Gingi - the lovely animals) as a very good friends! Thanks again Ram for everything! Miss all of you!

First of all let's clear up what kind of batteries you will find. According to the substances and technology used to produce the batteries – there are lead acid batteries, lithium and lithium ion batteries, nickel cadmium batteries and nickel metal hydride batteries. There plenty other battery types however the above mentioned are very prevalent and mostly used ones.
Lead acid batteries are actually great. ag13 battery lr44 are utilized to power cars, data stations, forklifts and other items that need a high output. These batteries aren't ideal for smaller products as the battery continues to be made to work in situations which require lots of energy. Since many batteries happen to be given certain corresponding letters such as double "A" batteries, you will notice that a lead acid battery is given the signature letter of A. If you see something that requires the utilization of a b battery you will be aware you need to have a lead acid battery for your appliance to operate. There are two main kinds of this A battery. These batteries are suitable for instance beneficial in times when the power has for various reasons been stop. At these times the lead acid battery can be used in emergency lights to supply the sunlight that is required.
Lithium and lithium ion batteries are great providers of instant power. The overall use for a lithium battery are available in the overall consumer products like portable radios. These batteries will also be utilized in powering hybrid electric cars and normal planet too. The items which are generally operated by lithium ion batteries include calculators, walkmans, radios, torches as well as touch lamps. Even though the lr44 battery compatible for these appliances can vary in dimensions there's one similarity. When you can buy a number of different batteries for your various appliances you will find it cheaper to buy a battery that may be recharged to full power.
To assist deal with the requirements which these organizations might put the lithium ion batteries through there has been a newer version that has been developed. This new lithium ion battery is called a lithium polymer cell. To make certain that the lithium ion battery can be used by a number of appliances you will notice that battery is made in many various sizes and shapes. As the usual use for lithium ion batteries is consumer electronics you will find that you can use these batteries in hybrid planet and normal electric cars.
You will notice that when you are utilizing a nickel cadmium battery this popular battery is that of a rechargeable one. You can generally find that these batteries are also known as NiCd – also known as Ni Cad batteries – batteries. However, there is an interesting fact which is very seldom thought of. While the consumer battery is called by many people people like a NiCd battery there's another battery which utilizes this name as well. The nickel cadmium battery comes in two forms. These forms are the sealed and vented forms. The overall use for any nickel cadmium battery is that of toys and electronic items like walkmans, Discmans and portable radios. There are also specialty nickel cadmium batteries that are around. These batteries are ideal for using in model airplanes, wireless phones, power tools, cordless power tools as well as for camera flashes. As you see there are lots of devices which can use a nickel cadmium battery.
Unfortunately unlike other batteries the nickel cadmium battery is more expensive. This means that if you aren't willing to pay more for this battery you may find another battery brands to be a better buy.

Fête de la Musique
One of the best nights in Paris, and one that should not be missed.
On this one special day of the year, street corners, bars, river banks, you name it are strewn with musicians, strumming and singing through to the early hours of the morning. It is like the city has turned every outdoor space (and some unusual indoor ones) into a stage, and openly invited loads of awesome talent to share their music with the world.
It is truly wonderful and will be happening all over France. It is the perfect night to welcome Summer. MLP found this reasonably good comprehensive program but you may find even better ones online. MLP will be doing a special report on the event which will be live soon. So stay tuned. Have a peruse of the previous MLP post on Fete de la Musique 2015!

Phantom of Paris
If you haven't yet been to the Gaite Lyrique then you should definitely consider checking it out. It is a fabulous venue. It's positioned across from a playground and has the most huge and stunning café upstairs. Until July 29 there is some kind of haunted house experiment going on there offering a chance to explore some secret passageways! Apparently there are 4 parts to the expo which allow you to flit between illusion, fantasy and surrealism through to reality and hard truths. In the end, you can become a ghost! Sounds super weird but oh so fascinating!

Paris Gardens open day
This is an annual event in Paris and presents the opportunity for you and your family to explore the most private of green spaces in the city. Parks that are not normally open to the public will be awaiting your visit on this special weekend.

Perhaps a late night picnic is your thing or an apéro. Whatever takes you fancy, this is indeed an unusual opportunity that might be worth a punt.
Parc Zoologique, Zoo de Vincennes, 53 Aveneue de St Maurice Paris 12.
This expo looks pretty amazing. It's the work of Huang Yong Ping who has created these ginormous structures some of which resemble huge dinosaurs. immersed amongst coloured crates stacked to the ceiling. It's meant to be all about the modern world and the power struggle that exists, hence the name Empire but to a kid it will feel like walking amongst giants!
Monumenta 16 – Empire at the Grand Palais until June 18.
Damon Albarn, The man behind the Gorillaz and front man to Blur back in the day, has turned his hand to theatrics again by creating a musical inspired by Alice in Wonderland! This modern day rock opera centres around an unhappy teenager, who escapes her misery at home and at school by logging into the digital cyber universe of 'wonder.land'. As the story unfolds, Ali, the main character takes us on her courageous journey of discovery.
The show is on at the Theatre du Chatelet which will shortly be closing for two years, so it's a great opportunity to check out this historic Parisian venue.

There are a couple of short films being shown before each big movie, which look child-friendly, but overall Mama would say, this is one for the adults!
Movies under the stars, Parc Saint Cloud, Paris.

76ers rookie Joel Embiid tilts at windmills, tries to recruit LeBron James via Twitter
When the Philadelphia 76ers selected Kansas center Joel Embiid — a remarkably skilled 7-footer who likely would have been the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft had he not suffered a stress fracture in his right foot that required surgery — with their No. 3 pick last Thursday, it seemed clear that Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie had once again elected to concede the upcoming season. One year after trading for injured Kentucky center Nerlens Noel and keeping him on ice for the whole season to rehabilitate the torn ACL in his left knee — despite Noel's assertion that he's been 100 percent for months — Hinkie again took a high-ceiling big man who might miss his entire first professional year, and also worked out a deal for Croatian forward Dario Saric, who won't suit up in the States for at least two years, effectively adding no up-front help to a Sixers squad that slinked to a "successful" 19-63 record last season.
By continuing to kick the can down the road and cast his eyes toward a very bright future, Hinkie seemed to be committing the 76ers to another year of dismal present. He didn't count on one thing, though: that his brand new top draft pick would take it upon himself to start recruiting free-agent talent in the here and now:
@KingJames hey bro hope you're having a good day...... Want to join us in philly?? Peace
— Joel-Hans Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) July 1, 2014
Yep, that's Embiid reaching out to LeBron James — who, as you might have heard, decided to hit the market this summer — to gauge his interest in perhaps bringing his talents back up north to The City of Brotherly Love. When the four-time NBA Most Valuable Player didn't respond — he must've been pretty busy waiting to hear how Pat Riley's going to reload the roster of the Miami Heat — the Cameroonian big man decided to take another crack, poking a bit of fun at his own draft-night foible in the process:
Been a day.. still waiting for @KingJames to answer me like (TAPE DELAY GUYS) how can you do that to me? @espn pic.twitter.com/LkeGQLrszQ
— Joel-Hans Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) July 3, 2014
Don't take the "tape delay" personally, Joel — LeBron was apparently otherwise occupied on a family fishing trip.
For what it's worth, the 76ers have oodles of cap space available, with just under $40 million in guaranteed contracts, cap holds and as-yet-unsigned draft deals now on the books. It isn't worth much, though, because there's a better chance that Questlove suits up for Philadelphia next season than that LeBron does. Still, though, it's nice to see Joel reaching for the stars and willing to recruit ... not to mention getting his Twitter account in the news for something a little bit more positive this time around.
Hat-tip to For The Win.

(ABC News) After arriving on the scene, police searched the room from which Nkemdiche fell at the Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead, Georgia, on Saturday night. According to the incident report, the investigating officer discovered "seven rolled marijuana cigarettes, rolled in Cigarillo Blunt papers" and reported that "the room was in complete disarray."
As the days go by more and more information begin to trickle out about this story which is pretty strange. Reports said he broke a window , climbed out of it and somehow ended up fallling to the floor below. Now when you read that you may be wondering what leads up to something like that and the answer is fake weed. That potpourri looking stuff thats sold in gas stations that causes god knows what to happen to your body all while making a good number of people that use it very paranoid, and suffer hallucinations. So obviously Bob saw some scary mystical creature in his room and nope'd the fuck outta there. If after falling through bushes and landing on the cold hard pavement wasn't enough he got arrested to boot so of course the police search his room and bingo bango they find SEVEN pre rolled 'marijuana cigarettes'. My man where you planning on going? Besides getting your R. Kelly on later that night.
Such a shame too, especially being one of the top prospect for the upcoming NFL draft. Only if you could've seen what happens when you abuse fake weed up close..OH whats that? Your brother has been MIA since getting found on the roof of his house wrapped in a blanket trying get away from someone chasing him. Sounds awfully familiar. Clean it up Bob, you hear this every year getting close to the draft about a prospect doing something knuckle headed and end up costing themselves money. Get yourself some help and stay away from fake weed mmkay.
PeeplesChamp21 coming in hot with the scoop! Wow if thats true and he fell 3 stories then popped up back and fell another story, he's lucky to be still walking much less breathing.
