STEUBENVILLE - Melissa Ryan figures environment has a lot to do with how people respond to therapeutic massage.
That's why Ryan, licensed massage therapist and certified medical massage practioner and owner of Quality Health Massotherapy, 2718 Sunset Blvd., favors a tranquil environment, one where the lights are dimmed, music plays softly in the background and the sounds of water trickling soothes the soul while she addresses the physical aches and pains of her clientele on a heated table.
"It's a spa atmosphere, but we specialize in therapeutic massage," she said, pointing out that therapy "does not have to be done with bright lights and scratchy sheets."

RELAX — Melissa Ryan, licensed massage therapist and certified medical massage practitioner, says dim lights, soft sheets and soft music help her clients feel at ease. Ryan recently celebrated the grand opening of Quality Health Massotherapy, 2718 Sunset Blvd. — Linda Harris
The goal, she said, is to make clients feel better.
"We want this to be the therapy you look forward to," she said. "The people who come to us, a lot of them it's their first massage. They're scared, they're nervous, they don't know what to expect, but very few people walk out of here who don't love it. I warn people ahead of time it can be habit forming. A lot of our clients come on a weekly basis."
Massotherapy can address chronic illnesses, like fibromyalgia and arthritis, she said, though "it's not just about treating ailments, but preventing them."
Quality Health offers:
Myofascial release, an effective therapeutic approach to relieving cervical pain, back pain, fibromyalgia, scoliosis, neurological dysfunction, restricted motion, chronic pain and headaches.
Deep tissue treatment, which helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation, and reduces inflammation-related pain caused by arthrisits and tendonitis.
Oncology massage, helping cancer patients and survivors reduce stress, anxiety and depression, enhance body image and relief symptoms like nausea, vomiting and pain. It also benefits caregivers.
Swedish massage, which can relax muscles, increase circulation and remove metabolic wastes.
Orthopedic massage, which focus on treating physical conditions.
Medical massage, which assists people with medical conditions like multiple sclerosis, diabetes, migraines, fibromyalgia, depression and anxiety. Techniques ranging from neuromuscular therapy to facilitated stretching, pin-and-stretch methods, palpation, Swedish massage and exerices are combined for individual therapy.
Orthopedic cupping, which detoxes the body, and the Chinese cupping method, which uses heat.
"We offer so much more than you get at a spa," she said. "A spa may tell you they can do neuromuscular or deep tissue, but there's a difference. Ours is done with a specific treatment goal, not just for an overall body effect."
Ryan learned her craft at the National Institute of Massotherapy in Akron, then completed a rigourous licensure exam. "The school I went to, some of the anatomy and physiology classes I had were the same as for first year med students," she said.
She's been a massotherapist for 10 years, the last three of them working out of room she rented from a busy physical therapy practice in the area.
Now that she's in her own storefront, Ryan has expanded the staff. Rusty Cade and Lisa Trushel, both licensed massotherapists, have joined her. They have a combined 30-plus years in the business, she said.
Hours are 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. by appointment on Saturdays. Same day appoints are usually available, she said.
Clients who have suffered tramautic injury must be referred to her by a physician or the emergency department at the hospital. And, she says, it's important to remember, "We do not diagnose, we only treat."

Stress Reducing Exercise Moves You Can Do in Minutes
As women with stress we've got to blow off steam before we lash out at colleagues or loved ones -- here are seven ways to help you do just that
Place your palms and knees on the floor, so you're on "all fours." Slide your right knee up toward your left wrist, bringing your foot back toward your body a bit. Rest down onto your right hip and slide your left leg straight out behind you. Bend over your right leg and reach for the floor. Rest your head and arms on the floor -- if you're flexible enough to do so, if not just lean forward a bit. Repeat on the other leg.

I should do this. But I think I need something more to release my stress than just exercise.

What is chronic bronchitis?
Chronic bronchitis is defined as a cough that occurs every day with sputum production that lasts for at least 3 months, two years in a row. This definition was developed to help select uniform patient populations for research purposes, for example, to study medication therapies for treatment of chronic bronchitis.
Many of the bronchi develop chronic inflammation with swelling and excess mucus production. The inflammation causes a change in the lining cells of the airways to varying degrees. Many cells that line the airway lose the function of their cilia (hair-like appendages that are capable of beating rapidly), and eventually the ciliated cells are lost. Cilia perform the function of moving particles and fluid (usually mucus) over the lining surface in such structures as the trachea, bronchial tubes, and nasal cavities to keep these hollow structures clear of particles and fluids. These ciliated cells that help in clearance of secretions are often replaced by so-called goblet cells. This group of cells secretes mucus into the airway. The warm moist environment of the airway along with the nutrients in the mucus is an excellent medium for growing bacteria. The mucus often becomes infected and discolored from the bacterial overgrowth and the body's inflammatory response to it. The inflammation, swelling, and mucus frequently and significantly inhibit the airflow to and from the lung alveoli by narrowing and partially obstructing the bronchi and bronchioles.
The muscles that surround the some of the airways can be stimulated by this airway irritation. This muscular spasm also known as bronchospasm can result in further airway narrowing. With long standing inflammation, as can be seen in chronic bronchitis, this muscular spasm and inflammation results in a fixed, nonreversible narrowing of the airway and the condition is termed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Chronic coughing develops as the body attempts to open and clear the bronchial airways of particles and mucus or as an overreaction to ongoing inflammation. Chronic bronchitis can be a progressive disease; symptoms (listed below) increase over time. Some NIH investigators consider chronic bronchitis a type of COPD.
COPD also includes the entities ofemphysema, chronic bronchitis, and chronic asthma. These conditions are not always separable and patients often have components of each. In the case of chronic bronchitis, the fixed airway obstruction, airway inflammation and retained secretions can result in a mismatch of blood flow and airflow in the lungs. This can impair oxygenation of the blood as well as removal of the waste product, carbon dioxide.
Although people of any age can develop chronic bronchitis, the majority of people diagnosed with the disease are 45 years of age or older.

I've created a KVM VM using
How do I access the virtual machine and turn it on? Do I need to assign an IP address, and if so, how do I do that?
If it's for the same architecture, you can start it with something like
means use same CPU as host machine
use 1GB main memory
this image is my first hard disk
There are many more options listed in man kvm.
If you used virt-install, you're using libvirt, and you can use virt-manager to manage and view the VM.
What distro are you using? Debian? Centos? Arch? Ubuntu? Suse?
I can recommend http://virt-manager.org/ (older versions can be found in your package manager at your distribution of linux) Very good tutorial can be found here: http://virt-tools.org/learning/start-install-with-virt-manager/
All basic operations with KVM can very easily be done with virt-manager. It is easy, fast and quiet safe for newbies.
All others possibilities how to control KVM can be found here: linux-kvm.org/page/Management_Tools

Charlotte, N.C.- The magic from the series finale walk-off win against FAU over the weekend did not last long as UNC Greensboro swept the doubleheader from the Niners on Wednesday afternoon, 5-3 and 9-0. Charlotte fell to 16-22 on the season after the loss. UNC Greensboro improved to 20-23 on the season with the sweep.
Jackie Kleinsmith led the Niners at the plate going 3-4 in game one with a RBI. Chelsea Ingersoll picked up a hit in both games of the doubleheader. Jessie Fennell drew a career-high three walks in game one.
Game one did not go as planned for the Niners as the first batter of the game reached on a fielding miscue. UNCG's Katelyn Bedwell singled through the left side of the infield to score the first run. The Spartans scored again in the second and third innings to build a commanding 3-0 lead.
Charlotte cut into the deficit in the bottom of the third inning posting two runs off two hits and a Spartan error. Natalie Capone (St. Charles, Ill./ St. Charles North) reached first and moved up to second on a Spartan throwing error. Capone would end up at third on the ensuing pitch swiping third. Samantha Slade (Apex, N.C./ Apex HS) drew a four pitch walk followed by a Jessica Plemmons (Lexington, N.C./ North Davidson HS) single deep in the hole at second base to score Capone. Jackie Kleinsmith (Santa Maria, Calif./ Righetti HS) hit a RBI single to right field to score Slade from third to cut the Spartan lead to 3-2.
UNCG put the lead back to three scoring two in the top of the fifth inning. A Spartan hit by pitch and a Bedwell two run home run gave the Spartans enough cushion heading into the latter innings.
Kleinsmith and Chelsea Lisikatos (Cold Spring, N.Y./ Haldene HS) picked up back-to-back hits through the left side of the infield to put the Niners in business. Courtney Carroll (Clemmons, N.C./ West Forsyth HS) followed up with a single up the middle to load the bases. Chelsea Ingersoll (Charlotte, N.C./ Butler HS) grounded out to second base allowing Kleinsmith to score from third.
The Niners had a chance to tie things up of walk it off in the bottom of the seventh. Ingersoll doubled to right center with one out followed by Jessie Fennell's (Blaine, Tenn./ Grainger HS) and a Capone fielder's choice to load the bases. A hot shot snagged by the pitcher kept the Niners off the board for the 5-3 victory.
In the night cap, the Spartans did all of its damage in the first two innings posting four runs in the first inning and five runs in the second.
The Spartans had 10 batters come to the plate scoring four runs off five hits and stranded the bases loaded. In the top of the second inning, the Spartans had 10 batters come to the plate again, this time scoring five runs off four hits.
Charlotte picked up two base runners in the first two innings with Capone and Ingersoll reaching on the free pass.
Mackenzie Hauser (Lexington, N.C./ North Davidson HS) came to the plate for her third at-bat of the season and picked up the first hit for the Niners in the bottom of the third inning ripping one through the left side of the infield.
Charlotte's best chance to crack the scoreboard came in the fourth inning. Lisikatos drew a full count walk. Ingersoll picked up the final hit for the Niners in the night cap with an infield single to the shortstop.
Charlotte left 14 runners on stranded on the base paths in game one and six in the night cap.
Chelsea Lisikatos (0-5) picked up the loss in game one tossing a complete game allowing five runs (four earned) off seven hits and four walks. Mackenzie Hauser (1-5) picked up the loss in the night cap tossing the first two innings allowing nine runs off nine hits. Lisikatos pitched in relief in the night cap tossing three scoreless innings allowing three hits and three walks.
Spartan's starter Raeanne Hanks(10-14) grabbed the win in game one tossing the complete game allowing three runs (one earned) off eight hits and six walks. Lacey Leary tossed the night cap pitching five innings allowing only two hits and four walks.
The Niners will make the final Conference USA road trip to Birmingham, Ala. to face UAB in a three-game series starting Friday. The conference series was moved up a day to accommodate the Easter holiday on Sunday. First pitch is scheduled for 5 pm.

I am interested in abstracting the Scott topology from Domains to Categories. One can find a definition of a continuous functor which is just such an abstraction:
A functor F:C→D is continuous if it preserves all small (weighted) limits that exist in C, i.e. if for every small category diagram A:E→C in C there is an isomorphism F(limA)≃lim(F∘A).F(\lim A) \simeq \lim (F\circ A).
I found this on the n-Lab. What I am interested in is a notion of compact element which is defined for Domains as this:
if k is less than the sup of any directed subset D, then there is an element x in D such that k is less than x.
Any reference would be good. My intuitions are telling me that if a category is compact, in this sense, it should have a kind of finite presentation. This would be an abstraction from a dcpo of groups where the compact elements are finitely generated. I realize this might not make sense so any help would be great.

When referring people to other Stack Exchange sites, usually in question comments, it's helpful to provide an actual link.
However, it's a pain to have to write
[Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com) or
[Prog.SE](http://programmers.stackexchange.com) or whatever.
Could we automatically link (first|any) occurrence of a site name made in a comment?
Or if not automatic, simply a shorter link so we don't need the extra fluff.
Perhaps a pseudo-protocol style, e.g.
[se:WebApps] could be converted into:

WebApps StackExchange
With the icon helping to draw attention to it as a Stack Exchange site.
I don't really mind how - so long as there's a way to be helpful to [new] users without spending unnecessary effort. So yeah, what does everyone else think?

It has been over a year now since Gordon Medical agreed to post the answers to patient questions on this blog, following a local presentation by Joseph J. Burrascano, MD and the GMA doctors. In that time, we have tried to work our way through the questions asked, and to bring you other information of interest.
The doctors at Gordon Medical, in addition to treating many patients with Lyme disease, also treat many other patients with acute and chronic illness, including Fibromyagia, mold illness, Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction, as well as many who have illness that doesn't fit a specific category, other than chronic inflammatory illness. We have decided to expand our blog to one that addresses the full range of what we do. As we work to make the shift to the new blog, please forgive us if our attention is not fully on this one. It will be worth it in the end, as we hope to make it a resource for all patients in need of new thinking in treating their illness.

It's been awhile since a BI company went public, so I'm excited by the news of QlikTech's IPO and what it bodes for our industry. Following the Era of the BI consolidation, when the Big 3 BI vendors grew stodgy and were consumed by mega-vendors like IBM, Oracle and SAP who were looking to add BI functionality (a.k.a. "buy their maintenance stream") to their existing products, it's great to see Wall Street showing enthusiasm for a pure BI player. It clearly demonstrates that the market sees significant value in BI innovation.
QlikTech did a great job of taking its technology and packaging it to appeal directly to the business user. It's a proven enterprise sales model, similar to what Arbor Software did in 1995, and QlikTech should be congratulated for being smart and adapting to an important trend. It's encouraging to see their market valuation and I'm sure it's because:
- Their strong growth rate
- The BI market is very large and getting much bigger
- Newer technology that enables direct sales to business users (not to mention a very sexy UI)
- Other publicly held BI companies are relatively flat
Appealing directly to business users, making it easy for them to upload their data and begin analysis without waiting for support from developers is critical. Every BI vendor must do this and more. The market is also screaming for data integration (simple as well as sophisticated), deployment options (on-premise, private and public clouds/virtualization), and big data analytics just to name a few.
So my congratulations to QlikTech for what they achieved and for raising the excitement level in the BI industry even higher. With this outstanding achievement, I have to wonder how Wall Street might receive a company that is not only financially successful and has great growth momentum, but is also supported by an open source community, has its technology and sales model appealing to more constituents—developers, system integrators, and business users—and has its technology innovated around all the key BI trends. Hmm…

Prove that the subset $U = \{z : |z+ z^2|<1\}$ is open in the $\mathbb{C}$. This seems to be a simple question. But I am not getting anywhere with it.
What I have tried so far is this. If $w$ is in $U$, then I need to find $r >0$ such that the $B$ = ball centred at $w$ with radius $r$, lies inside $U$.
Now, let $w_1 \epsilon\ B$, then $|w_1 + w_1^2| \leq|w_1 - w| + |w + w^2| + |w^2 - w_1^2|$. So if I let $|w+w^2| = \delta <1$, then $|w_1 + w_1^2| \leq r + \delta + |w^2 - w_1^2|$.
I could possibly choose $r < 1-\delta$. But that does not help me do away with the last term on the right hand side of the inequality right? Or am I missing something obvious?

When I asked my teacher for the gender of Mensa, she replied that it is feminine, because the Latin word mensa is feminine. When it comes to words that share the same spelling in both German and Latin, is this generally true?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer

It is largely true, but there are exceptions with false etymologies or old words that have been modified a lot or words that look like the opposite Latin gender to a non-expert.
For example:
fenestra (Latin, female) -> Fenster (German, neutral), both mean window.
arcubalista (Latin=archer, male) -> Armbrust (German=crossbow, female, false etymology arm+breast).
Latin and Greek were both very alive in Germany in the 19th century. This might be one reason why this kind of argumentation and also the knowledge of which latin ending belongs to which gender is still very common. (And a word like "Mensa" might even be introduced during just that very time, but that's just a guess.)
A nice example of how this works in German is the plural of the word "Status". "status" derives from Latin and belongs to the rather uncommon u-declination, so its plural is "status" [ˈstaːtuːs]. This is still the "official" plural in German, too. (according to Duden, for example).
However, you'll hardly ever hear [ˈstaːtuːs]. Instead, people will use "Statusse", or - and now comes my point - if they try to be clever "Stati", assuming this would be a Latin o-declination.
So, the connection between -a -> female and -us -> male, plural -i is obviously very well known. Probably because its one of the first things you'll learn in Latin lessons, so it stuck with people. :) Another one is -or, which is always anticipated to be male.
Word like "Fenster" and "Mauer" came to German ages ago, so the connection got lost completely. Also, there's no -a or -us in there so you can't really see where it is coming from.
I think it's true for words with the exact same spelling, although I think the overwhelming number of loanwords have changed spelling and pronunciation in their German version. For these cases there are exceptions, for example:
I think that it's important to distinguish between two types:
So - to answer your actual question - if you find a word that has exactly the same spelling in German and Latin, you can be pretty sure that it belongs to that second type and has preserved its gender.
As always: Be aware of traps!

Algebraic geometry predicts a degree 2 branched cover from an elliptic curve to the projective line. What does this map look like topologically?
One example: lay your $g$-holed torus $T$ out flat and draw a line the long way through each hole. It hits the torus in $2g + 2$ points. Consider the 180 degree rotation $w$ through that line. Now consider the space $T/w$ formed by identifying two points $P$ and $Q$ if $P = wQ$ (since $w^2 = 1$ we also have $Q = wP$). I claim that it's not too hard to see that $T/w$ is isomorphic to the projective line, and the $2g+2$ points which hit the line are the ramification points.
edit: This is of course more general than you were asking, but the picture is completely general when you're talking about topology.
edit 2: A picture of this (albeit approached from the perspective of starting on the projective line and cutting slits) can be found in section 20e of Fulton's Algebraic Topology book.
An elliptic curve is an abelian group. The quotient with respect to the equivalence relation $x\sim -x$ is a genus 0 curve. The branched cover is the projection to the quotient and the singular points are the 4 points of order 2 on the curve.
If your elliptic curve is $\{(x,y)~|~y^2=x^3 + ax + b\}$ then take the projection $(x,y) \to x$. This has 4 branch points at the 3 roots of $x^3 + ax + b$ and $\infty$. From this perspective, it's easier to see the resulting $\mathbb{CP}^1$, and harder to see that the elliptic curve is a topological torus.
You can do a reverse construction: start with a sphere without 4 points; now add two points over each one in such a way that every time you go around one hole the two points get interchanged.
The same Riemann-Hurwitz calculation guarantees that you get a torus. If you have complex structure on you sphere without 4 points you get one on top as well; a beautiful fact is that you get all complex structures on a torus — in other words, all elliptic curves over $\mathbb C$ — that way.

I asked this question, because I remember (might be wrong though) that in Hitman: Blood Money, NPCs could be on the lookout for a "bald man", depending on certain player actions reported by a witness. An alert message will pop-up saying something to that effect. This makes the bald Agent 47 more likely to be detected by the now more alerted guards/hostiles if he's wearing clothes that expose his head, even if disguised. I'm wondering if Hitman: Absolution has a similar game mechanic, or if head-covering disguise just has any effect on enemy detection of 47.
I'm also wondering if face-covering disguises can make 47 be less likely or be less quickly detected. Even with the same type of disguises, one could have a head or face-covering version, while another one could have 47's head fully exposed.
Do disguises that cover your head or face make you less likely or be less quickly detected? Any effects caused by a head or face-covering disguise?

T-L Photo/SETH?STASKEY
FIREFIGHTERS responded to this house fire on?Broadway Street in?Martins Ferry shortly after 6 a.m. today. No injuries were reported.
Smoke was seen coming out of the attic of a house at 609 Broadway as firefighters battled to keep the blaze from spreading. The house at 609 Broadway was occupied but the residents were able to get out safely.
"We lost everything," said Amanda Warner, who lived at 609 Broadway with her boyfriend Dave Arno, four children and her parents, Dorothy and Jim Husvar." There was a lot of smoke and water damage to the house."
"At this moment, I don't know where we will stay," Amanda said.
The call came into the Martins Ferry Police Station at 6:14 a.m. and firefighters were at the scene almost immediately., Ladders were used to climb to the roof at 609 as smoke came pouring out of the attic through the vents. Hoses were strung throughout the Broadway Street area.
The Salvation Army Canteen was at the fire scene with coffee, juices and pastries. One man at the canteen said, "this is National Volunteer Week and you can see volunteers in action here this morning. Thank God we have them."
A man who lived down the street said he heard the arrival of fire trucks just as he was preparing to get ready to go to work.
"I got dressed and ran up the street and saws the flames coming out of the roof and attic at 611," he said. "I knew the house was empty. I am happy that no one was injured in the house next door."
Martins Ferry Police were also at the fire scene.
Fire Chief Jack Regis said the cause of the fire remains under investigation. Crews were still at the scene at press

Seniors Power Trojans Past Wingate in Conference TournamentApril 25, 2014
HARROGATE, Tenn. – Senior shortstop Abby Child slammed two home runs and senior first baseman Danielle Swygert ripped a two-run double and a single, as No. two seed Anderson rolled past third-seeded Wingate, 7-3, on the second day of action at the 2014 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament, Friday afternoon at Lincoln Memorial's Dorothy Neely Field.
Anderson (40-10) earned its fifth consecutive victory has won 16 of its last 17 contests, as the Trojans advance to face either eighth-seeded Catawba or fourth-seeded Tusculum, who were slated to meet following the Trojans/Bulldogs contest. First-pitch from Neely Field on Saturday is set for 2:30 p.m. With the victory, the 2014 edition of Trojan softball has equaled last season's school record for wins in a season.
Wingate fell to 33-17 with its first loss in four outings, while slipping into the tourney's elimination bracket and will face top-seeded Lenoir-Rhyne, which eliminated the host Lady Railsplitters earlier in the day, later Friday afternoon at the Middlesboro (Ky.) High School field.
With the game delayed for an hour in the fourth inning due to a rain storm, the Trojans out-hit Wingate 10-7 on the afternoon, while the two teams combined to strand 17 base runners. The senior tandem of Child and Swygert accounted for four hits, five RBI and a pair of runs scored. With the two home runs, Child has now tied her sister, Molly, for the league-lead in round-trippers, as each has belted 13 homers on the season. Child finished the afternoon 2-for-3, with three RBI and crossed the plate twice. Swygert has hit safely in nine of the Trojans' last 10 contests and has driven in 18 runs in the 10-game span. The left-hander was 2-for-4 on the afternoon and recorded a pair of RBI. Senior Bri Cason stretched her hitting streak to three games with a pair of singles and has hit safely in 11 of AU's last 12 games. Junior outfielder Rebecca Martin was 2-for-4 with a single and a double and also scored once.
Junior pitcher Katelynn Howser improved to 17-5 on the season, as the right-hander tossed her team-high 11th complete game. She allowed three earned runs, while walking four Bulldogs and striking out three. The Woodstock, Ga. native has claimed wins in nine of her last 10 decisions.
Wingate sophomore Taylor Laskey went 1-for-2 with a double, two RBI and a run scored to lead the Bulldog attack. Senior designated player Kayla Saliga added a double and an RBI, while junior shortstop Alexis Burrell added a pair of hits for the Bulldogs.
Wingate jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first. Sophomore infielder Mellena Helms started the game with a single, then went to second on a walk. A two-run double to center from Laskey put the 'Dogs on the board. Saliga followed with an RBI double down the left field line to put Wingate on top by three. But it was the last time Wingate would cross the plate on the afternoon, as Howser limited the Bulldogs to just three singles over the final six frames.
After Molly Child was hit by a pitch with one out in the bottom of the first inning, Abby Child ripped her 12th homer of the campaign beyond the fence in center field to trim the deficit to 3-2.
Martin led off the second inning with her sixth double of the season and crossed the plate with the tying run on junior Jessica Neidigh's one-out sacrifice fly to center field. Abby Child, who holds the school record for career home runs, gave the Trojans a lead they would not relinquish, at 4-3, with a leadoff homer to left in the third inning.
The Bulldogs threatened in the top of the fourth with a pair of singles, but came away empty-handed, while Cason led off the home fourth inning with the first of her two singles. Three batters later, Molly Child reached base on a fielder's choice and Abby Child followed with a walk to load the bases with two outs. Swygert, who was 0-for-2 in her first two at-bats, ripped a two-run double to the gap in left-center to plate both Cason and Molly Child with a pair of insurance runs to boost AU's advantage to 6-3.
Anderson added another run in the fifth, as Cason again led off with a single and eventually crossed the plate when Molly Child pulled a two-out single through the right side to set the final score.

Say that through legal game play some player characters have gained a lot more XP than others. Should the referee take steps to rebalance the player characters, or just let it go as it is part of the game mechanics?

It Depends
I have two perspectives, coming from very different gaming philosophies.
From my 2 year Ars Magica campaign: absolutely not. XP represented the investment of time that could be used for other profitable activities. This was about the lives of the mages with no "group cohesion" to speak of. The idea of linked experience would be profoundly out of context in the game, as the demands on group time, especially distractions that would take them away from study, provided significant and interesting friction.
In my D&D games: absolutely. The fundamental "unit" of play is the party. While in 3.5 casters could sacrifice XP for magic items, the items always benefited the group as a whole. Unlinked XP totals in a game that always functions as a group and cares about balance disturbs the balance.
On the gripping hand, it's a question of individualism versus commensurism. What is more important to the players at your table, their own choices and identities as characters or the performance and the identity as a group? It is a question that is dictated by setting, questions of balance, and sources of conflict. If the system offers a
Ask your table. Figure out where their priorities lie, and don't be afraid to fix the mechanics of the game if the group doesn't like different XP totals.
Even with D&D having its built-in non-linear levelling, we have found that using a 'group levelling' approach benefits our players the most. With everybody having very busy lives, some players can only be there every few months, while others might only miss the odd session.
The 'benefit' for us is playing the game itself, and if you show up after missing 4 months of sessions and find you are 4 levels behind the party, you become effectively useless, and wind up hurting both yourself and the party in encounters. This just leads to general lack of enjoyment of the game, and nobody wants that.
You can play through small differences in levels (a level of two), but as the gap widens you either need to shift to purely roleplaying encounters, or dumb down the encounters to allow the lower level characters a shot at being able to participate.
I thinks that is strongly system-dependent. I can share my experiences with some systems.
In D&D and the Spin-off Pathfinder nearly every progress in character-build is made through increasing level. And you need much more XP to reach the next level, than you needed to reach the one before. So, as the party progresses it gets more challenging encounters with bigger XP-rewards. If someone in the party lags behind, he progresses faster than the rest. If someone in the party has more XP, the his progress is slowed slightly down. So minor differences level out themself. If someone is more behind in level than the rest, I make sometimes special adventures for them to gain XP, so that they can get nearer to the others.
In Shadowrun the progress of the character is very slow. So even a newly created characters is not that much weaker, than someone with say 50-100 Karma. Money can make a bigger difference, so I might consider as a GM to give the one who is behind the party some extra Nuyen.
Some systems have a growth on XP-rewards like D&D. Usually this helps to diminish slighter differences, for bigger differences I want to rebalance as a GM. Other systems might need the rebalance stronger.
I usually prefer to explain the rebalance in the system. As most differences result from the fact, that not everyone in our group is able to visit every rpg-session and miss some XP-rewards, I usually try to explain that the character did in the meantime. That involves some adventuring and some XP-reward.
Depends on the table. If I want the players to all be the same level, then they level when I tell them to and we throw XP out the window. (When this happens I make sure to give out other bonus cookies of course.) If I don't do that, I'm willing to accept that players will be at different levels.
When there is a level disparity, I've seen a lot of GMs make a threshold. Something to the effect of, if you're three or more levels below the highest level player, gain 50% more XP. From what I've seen that's a good compromise. The players who invest the most time in the game still get a reward, but the GM never had to come up with encounters that fit severely different power levels.
It's worth examining where a gap that large came from, and taking steps to ameliorate it. My preferred solution would be to start a series of sessions where the play style of the fallen-behind PCs is more present, so they start to catch up in XP. Otherwise, I think it's fine to bring the other characters closer in line to the leader.
In D&D the referee assigns the XP, thus in the first place this large XP gap should be prevented. If it has happened, it is (in D&D) better to fix it (over some time), because it is a team play, and a team with very different power level poses a lot of problems. Think about the monster which is able to kill one PC in less then a round (without effort), but which can be killed by another PC in less then a round (without effort). One PC dead, the other one asks: Huh? Was there any problem here? That might happen once, but if this is the rule, neither PC/player will get happy with it. (Well, if the one isn't a masochist, of course.)

Work on Public Highways (Section 278 Agreement)
A Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980 agreement can be used to licence a developer to carry out improvement works on public highway which are generally necessary where planning permission has been granted for a development.
It is Council policy to apply this method of amending of existing highways. A Section 278 Agreement (Highways Act 1980) allows developers to enter into a legal agreement with the Council to make alterations or improvements to the public highway. Examples of work covered by this type of agreement include new access into a development site i.e. a roundabout, signalised junction, right turn lane or a simple priority junction. A Section 278 Agreement may also be required for works such as a new signalised pedestrian crossing or improvements to existing junctions close to the development site.
In Birmingham, we normally use this section of the Highways Act to allow the developer, to employ a contractor and for that contractor to work on the existing public highway in the same way as if we, the highway authority, were carrying out the works instead. The developer is normally responsible for all aspects of the works on the public highway, from the design through to supervising construction and ensuring that the works are fully and finally completed to our satisfaction.
At planning application stage the principles of the development layout are established such as the type of junction that will provide access onto the highway network, the scope of any off site works required to mitigate the impact of the development and the internal road layout of the development. Once a site has planning permission we can not fundamentally amend the approved layout and we can not refuse to enter into an agreement for the developer to undertake highway works required to facilitate their development provided that all appropriate design and safety standards are met. Where a developer is required to undertake highway works in association with their development the planning permission will require them to enter into a highway agreement to carry out the works.
Where highway schemes require developers to offer up land within their control for adoption as public highway the agreement would be combined with an agreement under Section 38 of the Highways Act 1980.

Five-year project aims to digitize up to 153,000 volumes per year from each partner institution.
New York University Libraries, a leader in digital library development, has announced the creation of Arabic Collections Online (ACO), a major project to create a publicly available, digital library of public-domain Arabic language content. NYU Libraries will create a website for the project to make the content accessible to the public worldwide.
Funded by New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), this mass digitization project aims to expose up to 153,000 volumes from NYU and partner per year from each institutions over for a period of five years.
"We are delighted that we and NYU Abu Dhabi can make this major contribution to scholarship and bring great library collections of Arabic materials to a wide audience," says Dean of Libraries Carol A. Mandel.
NYU and the partner institutions will contribute all types of material—literature, business, science, and more--from their Arabic language collections. NYU Libraries Digital Library Technology Services will develop and manage the on-line interface, creating a web portal accessible to the public around the world.
"Arabic Collections Online brings the rich content of Arabic publications held in American libraries not only to universities worldwide, but to secondary schools and readers throughout the Arabic speaking world," notes Ginny Danielson, director of the NYUAD library. "It truly enhances reading and research opportunities for Arabic speakers globally."
ACO will provide access to printed books drawn from rich Arabic collections of prominent American libraries. Columbia, Cornell, and Princeton Universities are among the partners in the project with NYU. It is very likely that some of the books ACO will digitize may not be available elsewhere in any format.
"The scope of the ACO digitization project is unprecedented, and its potential for democratizing access to printed Arabic materials will make it an important first-stop for future scholars," said Elias Muhanna, Assistant Professor Comparative Literature & Middle East Studies, Brown University.
NYU chose the initial partners based on their extensive Arabic language collections and their commitment to high standards of digital preservation. The libraries of Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, and NYU have collaborated on a variety of digital access projects. NYU is in discussion with other institutions to include their participation in the project.
The NYU Division of Libraries comprises five libraries in Manhattan and one each in Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. Its flagship, the Elmer Holmes Bobst Library on Washington Square, houses more than four million volumes and received 3 million visits last year. Around the world the Libraries offers access to more than 800,000 electronic journals, books, and databases; its website received 2.4 million visits last year. For more information about the NYU Libraries, please visit http://library.nyu.edu
NYU Abu Dhabi consists of a highly selective liberal arts and science college (including engineering) and a world center for advanced research and scholarship — all fully integrated with each other and connected to NYU in New York. Together, NYU New York and NYU Abu Dhabi form the backbone of a unique global network university, with faculty and students from either New York or Abu Dhabi spending "semesters away" at one or more of the numerous study-abroad sites NYU maintains on five continents.

Sandy Bay – the only place to hang out in Cape Town this summer
Sandy Bay is the only naturist beach in Cape Town, and attracts people of all shapes and sizes (so be prepared). "Naturist" is, of course, another word for "nudist" that people use when they don't wish to get into any trouble.
Some locals think of Sandy Bay as the unknown; a mischievous spot the purpose of which is to tempt you into gazing at naked flesh. While there may be some truth to this (cue the 14-year-old boys peeking behind the big rock), the people who enjoy the beach clearly have a different motivation: freedom.
Cape Town has a "live and let live" attitude that many feel cannot be restrained by oppressive underpants or constricting bikini tops. These people seek a space in which to express themselves fully, a space in which their entire bodies can absorb the sun's glorious rays. These people want to be free. These people invented the phrase "hang loose".
Although slightly more difficult to find than other popular Cape Town beaches, Sandy Bay is hardly a hidden secret. An approximate 20-minute walk from the car park is all that stands between you and its picturesque white beach and the turquoise ocean. The beach is somewhat protected from wind thanks to sand dunes and the mountainous terrain.
If you are interested in visiting a nudist resort, Vasant South Africa in Somerset West is an option to consider.

If I have an android game based on java native libraries. Is it to possible to compile into a windows/linux executable without a 3rd party emulator?
No, you cannot directly compile an Android project into a non-Android based executable.
You're going to need to port the code out. How easy that will be is going to depend greatly on how you structured your code base. If the game/application logic is separate to that of your Android specific code (think Activities, etc), it should be fairly easy to do, because that's the code that will obviously need to be re-written.
I would take a look at LibGDX to aid this. If you port your game using LibGDX, you'll have both desktop and Android with virtually the same code base.
The short, official answer is no, you can't. Android has it's own specific API's which don't exist for any desktop environment.
That being said, there's things you can do:

http://ow.ly/5C4G7 - picture link - baked organic chicken with homemade vodka sauce on penne.
http://ow.ly/5C4HR - picture link - cream of broccoli, carrot and potato soup, all organic fresh from Full Circle Farm http://www.fullcirle.com/ - Thank goodness for pressure cooker, otherwise this would have taken hours...
@ohcheri: By the way, my lady said your post is not helpful without a photo of you "sitting pretty". LoL.
@kamikazeken: that sounds really good. I'm jealous. But yes, it did satisfy until I found my way to In-n-Out.
@kamikazeken: That sounds good, too!
@kamikazeken: Dude, my name is Cheri, that would be a terrible name for a man :-)
@lll0228: I am very electronically challenged and don't know how to put a picture in here but whenever I ask my husband if he needs help in the kitchen he always says...You just sit there and look pretty...so that's what I do :-)
I used to enjoy the off topic stuff, but now you people are posting such inane questions in hopes of getting and keeping your reputations in the black... It's not so fun anymore. :(
@ohcheri: it's the name of a website that sells lingerie. I figured it wasn't YOUR name. When I think of people who run lingerie websites, I think of guys. sorry.
My name is kamikaze ken, you don't think I'm of japanese descent and like to crash planes into things, I hope!
by the way, you sitting there "looking pretty" takes on a whole new meaning since you run your own lingerie store. I can only imagine... No wonder your hubby tells you to just sit there & look pretty!
@claudicina: come to the darkside... the chat is inane, but we have cookies.
@kamikazeken: Well... I do like cookies... But only if I can have snickerdoodles!
@lll0228: the dishes look yum! i hope you used real vodka ;-)
i'm eating paper and laundry detergent like those role models on the obsession shows. no, really i had some spinach, tomato, and goat cheese pizza from target's. not bad, the goat cheese seemed a bit dry if that makes sense. just got my kitchen installed after going without since august and i used my stove/oven for the first time today. woot!
@w00tgurl: saying "goat cheese seemed a bit dry" is akin to saying "the car accident was bit upsetting".
@w00tgurl: Real vodka, of course.
And here's my lady's birthday dinner I made last month:
http://ow.ly/5C6aQ - Picture - Vegetarian puttanesca (all freshly made and organic) paired with Gamache Vintner 2005 Estate Syrah (from Garagiste)
http://ow.ly/5C6df - Picture - Kale soup with organic kale, carrots, kidney beans and red onions. Most ingredients from Full Circle Farm.
@claudicina: Awfully cynical, aren't you.
I love food. Curious what others are eating. A simple question.
Do people actually care about their "reputation" on some random website they don't own? I don't.
I hope you smile a little later tonight! :)
@kamikazeken: ha, i never eat goat cheese! is it always dry tasting? like a powdery mix of cheese. i couldn't tell if the pizza was ok, fresh or if it was supposed to be that way. i should try it by itself one day
@lll0228 the kale soup looks like some homemade stews from when i was little. noms
I might be the odd wooter out, I eat generally Tofu or some other meatless, dairyless, eggless fake meat. Big fan of the beans too.
Tonight for dinner I made some Ronzoni veggie delight pasta (which apparently gives a full serving of veggies a serving) with some "meatball" patties only rather than ground meat I used puree'd kidney beans, egg replacer and almond milk soaked bread for the binder and nutritional yeast instead of cheese (it tastes just like cheese and also acts as a binder). Lightly pan fried em (I know, naughty!) and ate them and the pasta covered in red sauce and more yeast. Yummy!
for anyone that chooses to be vegan & avoid eggs and dairy because they don't want to exploit the labor of animals, you do realize that by eating vegetables, you're exploiting the labor of underpaid migrant farmworkers, right?
@kamikazeken: I've heard that arguement before...call me crazy, but I don't object to eating animals for the reasons I think most vegans do. In fact, if you go out, and hunt, not for sport, but to kill and eat something, I'm totally ok with that. Animals eat other animals, and humans are animals too.
I'm vegan more because I object to the conditions and practices of the big and industrialized operations that use the animals. It just seems like living things should be given a chance to live, rather than be born essentually with their execution date set before they even come into the world. That's really what bothers me more than anything.
Obviously it isn't ok to exploit human beings either, but unfortunately I can't produce food via photosynthesis yet. :)
I digress, and we are getting off topic here. Sorry for the short derail.
@kamikazeken: I don't see your point. Exploitation of animals and the exploitation of human beings are both abominable. If people choose the healthier diet by minimizing meat and dairy products, and in the course of doing so, lower their impact on the planet and reduce the support for the exploitation of animals, I applaud them. The diet low on meat but high on greens is not only healthier for us, it's also lower in carbon footprint. It is a win-win-win diet. For health, for animal, for the planet.
Also, not all farms employ "underpaid migrant workers". When I worked as a senior engineer in CA's Central Valley, while I met lots of minority workers, all of them were permanent workers, not migrant. All organic farms that I frequent in Washington State are run purely by Americans and are certified by third parties.
@tiamat114: I completely understand where you are coming from.
For any one who has a little bit of conscience, and have enough intelligence and curiosity to seek out information about their food supply would understand.
I am with you. Completely. Unfortunately, most people don't care, and would justify their unsustainable way of living through any excuse they could find; mostly notably it always comes in soundbites.
(I don't mind you changing the topic at all, you didn't start it).
Post more food!
@w00tgurl: The kale soup is yum. She was a happy girl that night.
I asked because I have a vegan friend who won't eat honey because the bees aren't being paid for their labor. She has no idea where her vegetables come from though, and I've also lived in the central valley for almost 20 years, and I've seen the living and working conditions of many of the farm laborers, and it's pretty miserable. I'm personally of the mindset that I like certain foods, and within reason, I don't much care where it comes from or how it was raised. I'm more interested in how it tastes.
edit to stir more crap up:
any idea how many animals are killed by simply running a plow through a few acres in order to plant a crop?
@kamikazeken: That's unfortunate.
Firstly because the American food supply is miserably disgusting, with a standard that's awfully close to third world level. And on top of that the amount of unnecessary suffering the animals have to endure is completely inhumane. This country's food supply is one of the most contaminated, toxin laden in the first world. Many chemicals banned by most of the first world are still legal and are in use here thanks to a system that allow corporations lobbying to go nuts.
You want good tasting food? Try humanely raised animals, organic milk and truly fresh vegetables.
Your point regarding animals killed during a plow is moot and pointless. There is absolutely no comparison in terms of the suffering we inflict on the animals that produce most of the cheap meats we eat, on top of the extra carbon footprint on consuming meat versus vegetables.
But of course, you don't care. I fear for the next generation. But of course, you probably also don't care.
@lll0228: There won't be a next generation. Problem solved!
without chemicals and modern farming science, there would only be enough food for about 5-6 billion people (at MOST, some estimate say 3-4 billion). That would only be the case if ALL AVAILABLE and suitable land for farming were put into production, meaning that the rainforests would need to be converted to farmland.
The vast majority of people tested can't tell by taste the difference between an organic & non-organic fruit or vegetable. Cavemen ate all organic, all-natural, chemical-free food and they all died by age 30.
Besides, if we weren't supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?
@kamikazeken: Altho I've seen some documentaries, I don't always believe everything I've read in the news or on the net. The small productive farmers have mostly been overtaken by large corporations. A large percentage of our corn crop is going towards the production of ethanol (not a bad thing, I guess). We are exporting to 3rd world countries to help them out, but importing from countries to supply our own needs (from Mexico and South America). We can't afford to, or have the resources, to feed the world. AND, we can't keep converting farmland into Condos!! I'll get off my soapbox now. Where's Woody Guthrie when we need him?!
I'm just trying to stir the pot.
@kamikazeken: You're doing a good job at it!! I could go on and on about it but would be getting way off topic.
stirring the pot is an essential part of cooking, which is an essential part of eating
My feelings.... :(
@w00tgurl: If there's a Trader Joe's in your area they have a great goat cheese pizza, one of our favorite fast meals along with their Greek salad.
@kamikazeken: how wise, sounds like something people preface with "Confucius say"
@ohcheri: thanks i'll have to go buy some. there's one really close by me and their prices are always good. i like their tomato & garlic on an oval crust pizza. so delish
@kamikazeken: I actually picture a guy holding a yummy green adult beverage!
@kamikazeken: Your understanding of the economy and the current and future state of food supply is unfortunate. Your display of the lack of compassion for the humane treatment of animal is common as well, and also regrettable.
Regardless, back to food.
http://ow.ly/5CJJv - picture - made lunch: Gnocchi with fontina cheese on a bed of swiss chard. Local and organically grown.
@ohcheri: that would be the green mistletoe punch from my new years eve party. 1 bottle midori, 1 bottle vodka, 1 bottle champagne, 1 bottle pineapple juice, 1/2 bottle 7up.
@lll0228: i've never heard of gnochi but from the pic it looks like tender spheres of pasta. i think anything with cheese is drool worthy.
here's my dinner tonight:
chicken boiled with "sofrito", leftover plain white rice, baby tomatoes as garnish. my first cooked chicken in my new kitchen woohoo
