I had the opportunity to play another test game of "All Quiet on the Martian Front" over at the galactic headquarters of Architects of War. The first game was a breakthrough type scenario where the Martians (me) had to exit the "Red Martian" tripod off the human board edge. The humans (Ed) had an infantry heavy force which include some of BEF and their damn coil guns. The first pic shows the Martian force - impressive!
The initial advance - the players of the match for martians where the grenadier tripods, who can use a scout tripod to really increase the accuracy of bombardments.
Another photo of the advance - the Martians are a lot of fun to play but you need to balance two distinct play styles - stand-off tactics with tripods and inclose with drones and lobotom squads.
A few turns into the game. The humans have whittled down most of my lobotom squads and drones at the cost of most of their armor - the infantry is still dug into the buildings and will prove difficult to dislodge. You can see the red Martian lurking in the corner trying to skirt down the side to victory. The telephone poles are "Edison wire" which is impassible to tripods. The key to the game was an assault by my remaining drones against some British heavy infantry. Luck was with me and the drones prevailed - just barely and the Red Martian snuck his way to victory!
The other side of the battlefield was a bloody stalemate. The game was won by the Martians but it was very close. It was also a lot of fun.
We did manage to play a second game, which featured the first outing of a mocked up Land Ironclad for the humans. Lets just say from a Martian perspective that Ironclad is a very formidable opponent. yep, very formidable. Sorry no pictures of that game as the form of the Land Ironclad model is still "classified"
I can't wait for this game to come out as it's a blast to play.
This blog will will contain my rather pedantic ramblings on my experiences within the miniature war gaming hobby. There will be informative how-to's, thrilling battle reports and thought provoking editorials. I fully expect that history will one day view the contents of this blog on par with Homer's Illiad or Newton's Principalia. Or it's a complete waste of time.

1681 Route 152, Montrose, Prince Edward Island, C0B, Canada
The Hudson Gordon House is a two storey wood framed house constructed in the distinctive Four Square style common to the elaborate homes built by those engaged in the fox farming industry in PEI. These are known locally as "fox houses." It is located in the rural community of Montrose on spacious grounds surrounded by trees. The registration includes the building's exterior and parcel; it does not include the building's interior.
The Hudson Gordon House is significant as an example of "fox architecture" in PEI. This style combines a Four Square hipped roof design with Classic Revival elements. It became prominent in the early years of the 20th Century (1910-1930) when commercial silver fox farming created an economic boom in western PEI. This example was constructed in 1914 for Robert Hudson Gordon (1863-1948) who was one of the pioneers in fox farming in western PEI. The builder was Robert Rankin. Source: PEI Heritage Advisory Committee Files
The following elements embody the Four Square "fox architecture" heritage value of the house: - the overall massing of the house with its two storeys - the hipped roof with large dormers - the size, style, and placement of the doors and windows - the large verandah on the front elevation with Classic Revival style columns - the stone foundation

Top 5 Plant Engineering articles, Feb. 2 - Feb. 9, 2014
Were you out last week? Miss something? Here are Plant Engineering's five most clicked articles from last week, Feb. 2 - Feb. 9, 2014, including articles about motor strategies, Schneider Electric, aluminum piping, and steam valves.
1. VFD, motor strategies for energy efficiency
A variable frequency drive (VFD) often is specified to save money by reducing energy consumption in pumps, fans, compressors, or any other motor loads that may be found in a typical building. These best practices will provide the engineer with information on how to specify a VFD to meet load conditions while achieving efficiency.
2. Schneider Electric poised to "change the industrial landscape" after Invensys acquisition
Now that the Invensys acquisition deal is complete, Schneider Electric will combine the two firms' unique discrete and process industrial portfolios, positioning it as a global market leader.
3. Schneider Electric completes acquisition of Invensys
Schneider Electric announced today that it completed its acquisition of Invensys PLC, a global automation player with a large installed base and a strong software presence. The deal previously was reported to be a $5 billion transaction.
4. Set-up and design for a steam-pressure-reducing valve station
Proper system design, component selection, and installation of your steam PRV station may prolong the life of steam components
5. Five reasons why aluminum piping makes sense for compressed air systems
Aluminum piping offers many advantages for compressed air installation including reduced costs and increased longevity
The list was developed using CFE Media's web analytics for stories viewed on www.plantengineering.com during the week of Feb. 2-Feb. 9, 2014.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Flow is a simple
game for Win32 based machines based on a cellular automata algorithm which
mimics the properties of a liquid. It is not a game with an object or goal
like most eg; like scoring points or killing something, but it is rather
more like a toy which exists merely to be fiddled with. A good example of
something similar is a game used by many charities where coins inserted at
the top fall through the game, hitting off things as they go. Where Flow
improves on this is that the obstacles can be changed in real-time, with the
liquid responding accordingly.
Real-life scenarios such as waterfalls, fountains and showers can be represented - or indeed anything your imagination allows. User-triggered events can be designed (eg; flushing a toilet) through a user-toggleable filter material. Devices such as capillary action (where liquid in a vertical narrow space tends to rise) and water pumps (up, left and right) move the liquid around the game area in a more controlled fashion. There are two different kinds of liquid, one lighter than the other if user-desired and two tools to filter one type from the other. To give you some idea, here's a screenshot: System requirements:

text: Wells Fargo http://i.thestreet.com/files/tsc/v2008/photos/graphics/032812_rebecca3.jpg $182 billion banking firm Wells Fargo ( WFC) is another name that's showing traders a bullish setup right now, albeit a short-term one. Like Nike, Wells has been rallying over the last six months, climbing a full 40% over that time as cash started pouring into the oversold financial sector. While that rally has taken a breather in the past week or two, an ascending triangle pattern in shares points to additional upside in April. An ascending triangle pattern is a setup that's formed by a horizontal resistance level above a stock's price level and uptrending support below it. As shares bounce in between those two technically significant levels, WFC is getting squeezed closer and closer to a breakout above resistance - in this case at $34.50. A push above that level indicates that buyers have absorbed the glut of supply that's previously caused $34.50 to act like a price ceiling. It's a clear-cut signal to buy shares of WFC. The declining volume that we've seen over the course of this setup is a good sign. When the trade does trigger, we'd ideally like to see volume increase as traders participate in the breakout. This WFC setup could move fast once it triggers -- you'll want to keep a close eye on it. Wells Fargo shows up on a recent list of 5 Best Bank Stock Ides From JPMorgan and is one of 10 Top Warren Buffett Dividend Stocks. Follow @stockpickr Prev 2 of 6 Next

What is an electric charge? Describe the structure & charges in an atom. Charge- physical property Charged objects exert a force- push or pull- on other charged objects Law of electric charges- like charges repel, different charges attract
Electric Force & Field Electric force- force between charged particles Size depends on amount of charge & distance between charges Electric field- the region around a charged object in which an electric force is exerted on another charged object Objects in an electric field react to the electric force
How are objects charged? Do atoms have a charge? Friction- electrons are wiped from one object to another Examples? Conduction- electrons move from one object to another in direct contact Examples? Induction- charges in an uncharged metal object are rearranged w/o direct contact
Conservation & Detection Charges are not created or destroyed, only transferred Electroscope- glass flask w/metal rod in rubber stopper w/2 metal leaves attached.
Moving Charges Electrical conductors- charges move easily; ex. Metals Insulators- charges can not move easily, electrons do not flow freely; ex. Plastic, rubber, glass, wood, & air
Static electricity Electric charge at rest on an object Static-not moving Ex. Clothes in a dryer; tumbling causes transfer of charge due to friction; when friction stops, charges are static
Electric Discharge Loss of static electricity as charges move off an object May be slow or quick Ex. lightning

NZXT Bunker USB Locking Device Review
The NZXT Bunker USB Locking Device
From the front you can see just about all the aspects of the Bunker. A large lock can be found on the left to keep the door closed and keep people from borrowing you headphones, Mic, or anything else you may want to connect here. The door covering the four USB 2.0 connections you can see through the mesh has a slot at the bottom to allow the cords of the devices to pass through, but thin enough not to allow the connector of said device through.
Turning the lock to the unlocked position scared me when I first unlocked it. I wasn't aware at first glance that the door was in fact spring loaded, and once the lock is turned it opens quite fast. As the door opens, a mechanism inside also slides the ports forward to allow for easier connectivity. In the reverse, when closing the door, the same mechanism will slide the ports back to allow for the connections.
With the door closed and the ports sitting the full 4.2cm back from the front of the device, we can get a better look at the connectivity. In the plastic bracket, NZXT takes four USB connections, solders them to a PCB with the appropriate components, and then simply uses a motherboard USB connection for connectivity of his device.
The bracket sits on a pair of tracks, which combined with this arm and spring, allow for the movement of the bracket containing the USB connections. I repeatedly opened and closed mine just to see how it all functions. At no time did I even run into the slightest binding of the unit. This design is well thought out and very functional.
Since there are moving parts in the unit, NZXT added a little wire restraint to help keep the USB connection to the motherboard in place. This will also keep you from accidentally using too much wire elsewhere, so as not to tighten the wire too much so it wouldn't allow the door and tray to function properly. I only wish it was placed on the opposite side of the device; over here it leaves the wire exiting on the open side of my chassis, requiring me to take some extra steps to hide the wire properly, and almost leading me to not having enough length.
Speaking of the length of the wire, there is right around 20" of length to the cable. That sounds like a long cord, but as I mentioned, I ate up five to six inches of that just getting across the bays. Connecting this device is simple, as it uses a typical USB connector found on any motherboard.
I was looking through my devices to stick into the ports for connectivity images and came up with this. On the left is a typical thickness wire from a USB mouse. Next to that is a thicker charging cable for my cellular phone. That leaves the handy little 8GB thumb drive I have for just such occasions.
Closing the door and locking it in place was easy, even with the thicker cable of the charger and the thumb drive still in place. While my connections and drive are hidden for the most part, the cables pouring out the front are a dead giveaway that I have things plugged in. This device will in no means stop someone from getting inside the plastic door with a screwdriver, but it will deter a thief to bother trying and hopefully he moves on to the chassis next to you for an easier prey target.
Mounting the Bunker is simple, especially in cases with tool-less drive bays. There are four holes in either side of the Bunker that will line up with any cage and allow the Bunker to sit flush with the front bezel. I found the Bunker is slightly skinnier than the actual bay width of 5.25". In this chassis the gap is slightly more apparent with the light coming in through the windowed side panel on the left, but it makes the Bunker slide easily in and out of the chassis for mounting.
Even with the thicker bay covers of this chassis above and below the bunker, once unlocked, and the bracket in the forward most position, attaching any device is super simple.

In Michigan, the legislature has adopted a law that makes all of the users of water in a catchment responsible for not having an impact on the resource. All property owners have a right to reasonable use of the water under their property. Riparians have a right to reasonably use the water in streams that abut their property.Check it out!
If any new use has the potential to cause a problem to the critters in the stream- all users have to modify their uses. The hope is that this happens voluntarily and through private deals. It will, however, end up in court at some point and we'll see what happens then.
This is all enabled by a web-based tool that anyone can use to estimate what would happen if, for example, a new well is placed in the watershed. Ecological impacts are estimated and displayed. If no impact is predicted, the system approves a permit and the well is registered with the state.
As of early this summer, some 170 new withdrawls have been reviewed, and only 25% of those now go to an agency staffer to review. Of all requests, less than 1% have been declined.

Generally, the private solutions would be better, with government acting only as referee to private contracts. But it also depends on what sort of government one has. If it's a reasonable local government, then even #2 might be tolerable. But if it's a distant, unreasonable government -- what America now has -- then expect the worst.

I saw one of these in Tijuana. Except it was just a donkey painted to look like a zebra, which is probably what this is. If not, the poor guy is destined to a life of doing everything half-assed.
From News.com.au.
Zonkey: cutest hybrid ever
A donkey and a zebra have come together to prove Mother Nature doesn't discriminate when it comes to love.
This little guy is the offspring of an affair between said zebra and an endangered species of donkey at an animal reserve in Florence.
So enamoured was the brawny zebra, he climbed his protective fence to spawn a breed of hybrid seen rarely before; a zonkey.
Born in Florence on Saturday, baby Ippo is "the only one of his kind in Italy", according to owner Serena Aglietti, who told ansa.it he is in good health.
Other zonkeys have been reportedly sighted in Germany, China and Georgia.

"Chopsticks (singular: chopstick) are shaped pairs of equal length sticks that have been used as the traditional utensils of China, Vietnam, Korea and Japan for thousands of years. Chopsticks originated in ancient China and later spread to Vietnam, Korea and Japan."
The reason chopsticks are tapered is…
Japan is an island country surrounded by on all sides by ocean.
Since time immemorial, the major source of protein has been fish.
For detailed work like picking the bones out of grilled fish, the tapering is necessary.
If there's any reason that someone can't use chopsticks, the tapered tip also allows the method of stabbing the food to bring it to one's mouth.
(While stabbing food with chopsticks is considered bad manners in Japan, for people who aren't used to eating with them, it can't be helped.)
What are Japanese chopsticks made with?
While chopsticks are used all around Asia, the materials varied. Depending on where you are, you can find chopsticks made of wood, bamboo, metal, ivory, or even simple plastic.
In Japan, you can get custom-made chopsticks made from high-class wood or bamboo.
Of course, you can also find easy plastic chopsticks in the 100 yen shop.
The birthplace of lacquered chopsticks, Wakasa, Obama, is in Fukui Prefecture.
While there are wood and bamboo chopsticks that are used as is, there are also chopsticks made with lacquer created in this area.
The area of Wakasa, Obama (in Fukui prefecture) holds 80% of the market share of lacquered chopsticks.
The technique of applying many coats of lacquer to make the chopsticks smooth is called "togidashi" and has the result of polishing the chopsticks.
Sometimes they will apply shells or gold leaf midway through the process to decorate them.
In Japan, usually each person will have a specific pair of chopsticks to use, and only that person will use them.]
In order to liven up your meals, why not look for a pair of chopsticks with an elaborate design?
During celebrations, even splittable chopsticks are fancy
For weddings and other celebratory occasions, disposable chopsticks made of bamboo called "waribashi" are used.
These are used not to waste reources, but for once-in-a-lifetime occasions, it's a way to make sure that everyone is using new chopsticks.
The way to take these chopsticks out of their sleeve and use them is also a Japan-specific culture.

(9/24/15) Like Tweet Share Pin Email 0 Comments Updated September 24, 2015 10:42 PM HOBOKEN - Hoboken residents attended a meeting Thursday night to learn more about a multimillion-dollar project that could fix the flooding problems in their surrounding area. City residents say that they know all too well how badly Hoboken floods. During Superstorm Sandy, residents were under several feet of water. Hoboken has many low-lying areas that act like a sink. Now, with the money awarded to the city, officials say that a solution for the frequent flooding is at hand and residents were eager to find out more. "During [Hurricane] Irene I had a pump going 11 hours, 40 gallons a minute which works out to a huge amount of water," says resident Marc Luis Villamar. "That kind of water, you can't prevent completely, but you can mitigate some of the damage that was done." The project is expected to place hard and soft barriers around the city and will build greenspace to direct and collect floodwater. "[The project] is quite enormous and it's going to cover three cities," says Kerry Kirkpflugh, the manager of the NJ DEP Constituent Services. The DEP took public comments Thursday, but will continue to take comments until Oct. 9, through emails and other forms of communication. If the project goes to full completion, the total transformation of Hoboken could be done by 2022.

Today had been the worst day of your entire life so far. You have not lived too long on this planet, but now you are sure that the entire universe is out to get you, because as far as you are concerned, everything that could go wrong went catastrophically ballistic. In fact, it went so wrong that you do not know if you can continue to live as you have before and right now, you wish for nothing more than to curl up into a little ball in one of your apartment's corners. Even that is denied to you as someone knocks on your door, then slips a mysterious envelope into your house through your mail slot. Well, that is just one more catastrophe to deal with for today, you muse as you go to the door and open it, but whoever was responsible for the breach of your privacy is long gone as if they disappeared into the ether. You look down to your feet and you see an envelope that proclaims a simple message in big, fancy letters. ARE YOU DEPRESSED? Yes, you are. You are even more so now because you are fairly sure that this is just an elaborate prank to get you down again, but much to your surprise, the envelope contains a flier you had never seen before. The contents definitely seem very suspicious and a little bit too much on the spot, but what do you care? It is not like you have anything to do on Friday anymore, not to mention that even if these people can not cheer you up as they proclaim, at least you will get to revel in the misery of your fellow human beings before you share your own. After all, there is no possible way that anyone could has it worse than you right now, right? The only way there is from here is up, right? All too eager to share your misery with the rest of the world, you get a pen and fill in the enclosed application form.

I may be the one running the game, but if one of my players have a cool idea, I will listen to it and it may even end up being a large part of the game. 6.) Be active! I will try my best to check in and post at least once a week. I expect my players to do the same and I reserve the right to remove people who are not active enough. 7.) Last but not least, include "I hereby proclaim that I am a member of the Mysterious Misery Society!" at the bottom of your character sheet so that I know you read these rules.
Unbeknownst to you, you have signed up for something that is far more complicated than a support group for people who have shitty lives. In fact, had you read the fine print at the bottom of the flier along with the invisible ink on the back of it, you would know that this is nothing but an insane ploy by the equally mad Zanierojorömonupinboltesaumänn, a highly eccentric billionaire otherwise known as Mister Z. It is impossible to tell what he has in store for you, but one thing is for sure: You are in for the wildest ride of your life and you are blissfully unaware of it. So what is this? This is a light-hearted RP with comedic overtones that focuses on a bunch of everyday people who just wanted to tell others about their problems, but ended up getting much more than they bargained for. These very, very ordinary people will have to use their wits, bravery, creativity and skills to survive every single scheme that Mister Z throws at them whether they like it or not… Because the Mysterious Misery Society will always find a way. If not four or five. Sounds like fun! How do I sign up? You have to fill out the Mysterious Misery Society's Application form as seen below! Application Form (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Application Form (open) Application Form (close) Name: Age: Gender: Appearance (Trust us, we really need this!): What Are You Good At?

Name: Avery Coulson Age: 24 Gender: Male Appearance: Avery is tall, slender, and has deep, brown eyes that display his soulfulness. He is of a lithe build, atypical of males, with defined muscles that show he cares for his physique. He usually wears bomber jackets and aviator shades, to provide an image that he is both fashionable and careless in regards to the fashion world. What Are You Good At? Avery is a skilled musician, talented in the acoustic, electric and bass guitar. Avery is a somewhat skilled communicator, able to bring his point across to his peers and convince them of his opinion. What Are You Bad At? Avery lacks self confidence, due to a plethora of personal situations. Avery is not very strong, so physical exertion is one way to effectively render him useless. Tell us a little about yourself in a maximum of four paragraphs! Avery is a man with a dream. Become famous, achieve stardom. Find happiness. Because happiness is something Avery lacks as a transgender male, his dysphoria, created by his biologically feminine self, slowly creating a sinking turmoil within him that has left him somewhat hollow, and even more slowly unable to cope. So he took up the leaflet after a near-death experience with a fault wire and a guitar (this is what you get from trying to plug in two amps, a loop pedal and an electric guitar in the same plug), he took up the opportunity to be part of the Misery Society in order to try and find the help he needed. GUITAR SOLOS AND PHOENIXES "I hereby proclaim that I am a member of the Mysterious Misery Society!"
Scanning . .. ... Scanning Completed! Welcome to the Mysterious Misery Society, Mr. Avery! We are thrilled to see a skilled musician amongst our ranks and are saddened to see that your outlook on life is so bleak. Please feel free to come in and take a seat; we will be happy to listen to your problems. Guitar solos can be heard from 10 P.M. to 4 A.M. in the basement and you will be given a free pass to visit the phoenix cages at any time.
This RP has been noticed and adored! CS INCOMING! sorry it's so pretty. ㅠㅠ "Yes, I am very aware that my name is complicated when pronounced with an American accent. Therefore, please, call me Min." (Song Jin Min.) 23 | Male Min tends to dress rather lavishly despite his constant mood of utter suffering. Suits, slacks, bowties, glasses, jewelry, pocket squares, and blazers are what one would usually see inside Min's closet space. Min usually takes his wealthy fashion up a notch by dyeing his hair with bright and unnatural colors such as purple, pink, or red. If he feels like bringing his weekly fashion down, he will dye his hair in a natural, dark color while wearing something simple like a sweatshirt and jeans. Rest assured, money cannot buy anyone happiness. Not even Min. + Spending money all in one place. Standing out in a crowd. A crowd pleaser and manipulator. Hiding emotions. Fashion. Studying something worth knowing. Binge eating, drinking, and drug using. Posing in front of a camera. + × Gambling. Controlling surges of emotional breakdowns. Singing. Empathy. Lacks self-confidence, despite his abundance of avant-garde clothing. Coming from 100% Korean descent he has a bit of trouble using a fork, knife, and spoon as a habit. Managing money. × Born into a wealthy Korean family, Min has had no experience with working hard for anything. His dreams and aspirations were different than the average human being, and that's what peculiarly got him liked. He got along with everyone for a while, casually giving money to those he has made acquaintances with when they asked. After immigrating to America, he realized that the reason why people have been adoring and bowing at his feet throughout his life span, was because he was merely nothing to people but a walking ATM. This fact alone got him into a spiraling path of negativity. The culture shock between Korea and America was turning Min into a whirlpool of emotional instability as people gave him death glares, crude remarks, betrayal, and bruises. His wealth and prosperity slowly but surely got him favored and catcalled by drug addicts, dealers, prostitutes, gang members, gamblers, and runaway felons. For years on end, he has spent his money in America but nothing on gambling, drugs, whores, and alcohol. The more he purchased, the more depressed and addicted he got. Min could not stop spending his money, and still can't. He could not rid himself of his money. Not that he wanted to rid himself of his wealth, anyways. A few years after his "rugged" lifestyle in America, a simple flier slid through the slit of his doorway. A flier to salvation. Rummaging through his closet for something to wear, Min came across a small packet with a superfluous amount of Critter Stickers. A perfect thing to mark checkboxes with. "I hereby proclaim that I am a member of the Mysterious Misery Society." ¢ ¢

She has black hair that's usually tied in cornrows and dark brown eyes that can give a nasty glare. She has full lips and a tiny nose while her eyebrows are not prominent or noticeable. She's also an A cup and has a few scars on her where her cat scratched her arms. Her clothing consists of jeans and light colored t shirts, wearing a denim jacket to cover the shirts. What Are You Good At? Math, science, calculating numbers in general, being a sales clerk, interacting with others What Are You Bad At? English, other languages, swimming, hiking, biking, sports in general, physical activities in general Tell us a little about yourself in a maximum of four paragraphs! Dani was born a happy kid, always in the limelight in some way in her parents' eyes. At least, until her little sister was born, then the attention was directed at her. Still, she did her best in school and her family was able to move to a better neighborhood after some sort of serious crime happened in their old one, she doesn't know what though, because no one tells their kids anything. As time went on, she began to feel apathetic about some things. Her usual passion for numbers was slowly dwindling away while he grades started to slip in her best subjects. She just didn't care anymore, which worried her parents to no end. Unfortunately no one in the family believed that she might be suffering from a mental illness, thinking that that sort of thing wouldn't happen in their family. Really, they were doing okay in terms of providing for themselves and paying the mortgage, and were practically living the good life, so what was there to complain about? Her breaking point was after she graduated that her pet cat got sick. The family rushed him to the vet. Sadly, the cat died and she was distraught for a good long while, until she got the letter that talked about the Mysterious Misery Society. What could that mean? She honestly thought it was a support group and told her parents about it. Since it was free, they let her do her own thing within the group. Dyson Spheres and Artificial Intelligence I hereby proclaim that I am a member of the Mysterious Misery Society!

Name: Thiri Hla Thura Age: 25 Gender: Female What Are You Good At? - Painting - Language aquisition - Mediation What Are You Bad At? - Standing up for oneself - Leading - Making tough choices - Dealing with criticism or disapproval - Public speaking Tell us a little about yourself: There has always been a pressure on Thiri to succeed and to thrive. Just before she was born, her parents fled from their home country of Myanmar following the swift and violent suppression of protestors and the coup that followed. They had remained for a time, hopeful that the promised elections would restore some semblance of stability but were met with disappointment on the front and risked the lives of themselves and their young children escaping. Not more than a year after their flight, Thiri was born, the youngest of three children and the only daughter. This, however, was not a hardship in and of itself, as women were well-respected in her parents' culture. But it was always a matter of looking up to her brothers, of trying to emulate them and never quite measuring up. She has always felt like a failure when people compare her to Soe, the eldest, and Phyu, the middle child. Soe remembers, a little, what life was like in Myanmar and how poor her family was there and has embraced the luxuries of this new life with an almost obsessive diligence. He is thirty this year, married now with a baby daughter of his own and working for a bank. Phyu is twenty-seven, not yet married but finishing residency to become a doctor. Thiri, in comparison, has not shone so brightly in life. Meek and quiet, she has always been more of a dreamer than a doer and knows well that she looks like a failure compared to her brothers. They encourage her and Soe even took time off of work to attend the little showing where one of her paintings was featured, but her parents have made no secret over their doubts regarding her future. "We love you, yadana, we want you to be happy. But happiness does not fill your stomach." This only redoubles her guilt, her fears about disappointing her doting parents. She earned a degree in early childhood education and works in a preschool at present but she is not good at disciplining the children and wishes that should could be alone to paint. Today was almost enough to cause Thiri to give up completely. She returned home from work after cleaning the horrific mess caused by a child with some sort of stomach virus, scrubbing foul smelling bodily fluids of all kinds from the floor, to find a letter from a gallery informing her that her painting had not been selected for their showing. And just as she had set herself down on the chair in her tiny apartment to have a good cry over it, a car parked outside the window began blaring music with enough bass to shake the walls. Thiri frowned as she flipped to the second page of the application and gave the nonsensical checklist a furtive once-over. Was this a joke? Was there someone out there trying to mess with her head? The checklist sure looked like a joke, if not one that was very funny to her. She read all the options and considered them , pursing her lips and furrowing her brow as she did so. What kind of options were these, exactly? She tapped her lips with the eraser of her pencil, thinking over the options far more seriously than was probably warranted. Finally, she lowered her pencil to the paper and made a check in the box labeled "Magic". Magic would be great, right? Or would it? What if the wrong people had magic, then they'd make a real mess of things. She erased the check mark and scanned the other options. Or maybe people could use the magic to help other people? She checked the box again, leaving a slightly smudgy mark. This was hard and she felt tired just looking at the application. Everything made her feel tired lately. With far less deliberation, she checked the box next to "???", figuring that that summed up her feelings on the matter anyway. I hereby proclaim that I am a member of the Mysterious Misery Society!
Scanning . .. ... Scanning Completed! Welcome to the Mysterious Misery Society, Ms. Thiri! We are glad that a person with such an artistic vision is joining us and we look forward to witnessing your work in the future. In the meantime, why not take a look at our grand library that features many old grimoires, said to contain magic? Or perhaps [DATA EXPUNGED] when [TEXT DELETED] while [INFORMATION CENSORED] it?

Make My Head Sing[CD]~ Jessica Lea MayfieldProduct Notes
MAKE MY HEAD SING is the 2014 album from acclaimed singer and musician Jessica Lea Mayfield,. Co-produced by Mayfield and her collaborator, bassist and husband Jesse Newport, the ten-song album was recorded at Nashville's Club Roar studio. Of the new music Mayfield comments, 'The whole record is just me and Jesse and my drummer Matt Martin. I think a lot of my favorite bands are guitar, bass, and drums. I wanted to simplify things. Bands are so big these days, I wanted to get in the studio and make a rock record and hear real guitar tones and something heavy.' the new album follows Mayfield's 2011 release, TELL ME, which was produced by the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach.

Aoi Hiiragi's manga about a schoolgirl's adventures with a very unusual feline comes to the screen in this witty anime feature. Haru is a girl who one day saves the life of a cat while on her way to school. To her surprise, Haru… More Aoi Hiiragi's manga about a schoolgirl's adventures with a very unusual feline comes to the screen in this witty anime feature. Haru is a girl who one day saves the life of a cat while on her way to school. To her surprise, Haru learns she came to the rescue of no ordinary cat -- the kitty introduces her to the Kingdom of the Cats, where the feline potentate attempts to arrange a marriage between her and his son. Brought into a world he never knew existed, Haru learns a few lessons about herself as he discovers more about the strange and magical secret world of the cats. Neko No Ongaeshi (aka The Cat Returns) was released in the United States with a dubbed soundtrack featuring the voice talents of Anne Hathaway, Andy Richter, Tim Curry, Peter Boyle, and Elliott Gould.
Catchy entertainment for kids and adults...
Full review…The Cat Returns...is all fluff, but it's cute and enjoyable fluff at the very least.
Full review…Director Morita does an exemplary job of bringing a Japanese graphic novel to the screen.
Full review…[Director] Morita has a slightly cruder, more realistic sense of the world and its looniness than does Miyazaki, and you can see where The Cat Returns moves on a different track even as it pays homage to Japan's current animation master.
Full review…The story whisks gracefully along with little saunters and pitter-patters of humour. A Princess-and-the-Cat tale that also coolly reflects the arrogant aloofness, suave superciliousness and intriguing independence of man's best-when-convenient friend.
Full review…Interesting and watchable, but definitely not up to Miyazaki's standards.
Full review…Another enjoyable fantasy adventure from Studio Ghibli.
Full review…Undeniably sweet, but it is also undeniably slight, and not remotely as visually rich as we've all come to expect from Studio Ghibli.
Full review…...moves along at a brisk clip and features a bright, vibrant animation style...
Full review…

Colloque Promenade dans la physique d'aujourd'hui / A Stroll through Today's Physics
Crumpling a paper or a soft tissue Martine Ben Amar (ENS) 29 juin 2007 |
(in collaboration with Julien Dervaux)
Ten years ago, Yves Pomeau and I investigated the existence of singularities in the solutions of Foppl-Von Karman equations of plates. We showed that the variationnal character of elasticity selects developable surfaces, the developable conic points and folds being the most commonly encountered in experiments. The Foppl-Von Karman equations include geometric non-linearities but maintain the linear hookean elasticity, an assumption which may be questionable for soft or living tissues. The first question we have considered concerns the validity of these equations for soft tissues and arbitrary elasticity. It is known that living tissues have non trivial behaviour to loadings due to nonlinear elastic response It turns out that the only hypothesis of small thickness compared to lateral size (the plate geometry) is sufficient to recover the standard Foppl-Von Karman equations. We extend this formalism to incorporate a growth process and show that growth may induce non trivial shapes which can been seen in nature like leaves and flowers.

Well I finally did it, I dusted off the ice cream maker and I made Vegan Chocolate Walnut Fudge Ice Cream!! Last year when everyone was putting together their ice cream roundups, I did not have a single recipe to contribute. Well not this year, so prepare yourself for the dairy-free ice cream recipes to come! 😉
My brain was still in Paleo mode, so I did not use traditional sugar in this recipe. Instead, I decided to give raw coconut nectar a try. It has a low glycemic index, non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free.
Coconut Nectar has a deep, barely sweet flavor. If you like super sweet ice cream, stick to honey or maple syrup. 😉
Dark chocolate contain antioxidants that help protect the brain, so I used cocoa powder in the ice cream and dark chocolate chips in the ganache/fudge swirl.
Walnuts are high in Vitamin E, which helps reduce memory loss. So I guess we could call this ice cream "brain food", and it should be eaten daily! 😉
Start by whipping the coconut milk until it is light and fluffy…..
Add the sweetener and cocoa powder, and beat until well combined…..
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Pour chilled mixture into the freezer bowl of an ice cream maker (I use this Cuisinart ICE-21 Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker, White)
Process according to the manufacturer's instructions (about 15 minutes) until mixture thickens. Pour the chopped walnuts in, and continue processing until walnuts are fully incorporated…..
Pour into a freezer safe container, and freeze for one hour.
To make the ganache/fudge swirl, heat chocolate chips, coconut milk, and butter in the microwave in 15 second increments until smooth and melted…..
Remove ice cream from the freezer and stir together…..
Drizzle the ganache/fudge over the ice cream…..
Swirl fudge with a spoon or knife…..
Return to the freezer for 1 hour for "soft serve", or 2+ hours for "hard serve" ice cream. The longer this ice cream is in the freezer, the harder it will get. You may need to leave on the counter to soften before serving. 😉
I'm sure Nathan would approve…..Yummy!

Our Aries meal up to this point has included…..
Rosemary and Panko Crusted Salmon. Next up is Matcha Pancakes with Pomegranate Acai Syrup.
Vegan Chocolate Walnut Fudge Ice Cream
Serves | 2 1/2 cups |
Prep time | 4 hours, 20 minutes |
Meal type | Dessert |
- For the Ice Cream
- Two 13.5 ounce cans full-fat coconut milk (shake before opening)
- 1/2 cup coconut nectar or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweeted cocoa powder (I used Ghirardelli)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- For the Fudge Swirl
- 1/3 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 2 Tablespoons full-fat coconut milk (can)
- 1 Tablespoon non-dairy butter
Beat the coconut milk with a mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. | |
Add the coconut nectar, cocoa powder and beat until well combined. | |
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours. | |
Pour mixture into the freezer bowl of an ice cream maker, and process as per manufacturer's directions, about 15 minutes for soft serve consistency. | |
Pour the chopped walnuts into the machine and continue processing until incorporated. | |
Pour ice cream into a freezer safe bowl and freeze for 1 hour. | |
Heat the chocolate chips, coconut milk and butter in the microwave for 15 seconds. Stir to combine. Continue heating in 15 second increments until melted and smooth. Set aside. | |
Remove the ice cream from freezer and stir. Drizzle the chocolate ganache/fudge over the top of the ice cream. Gently swirl with a spoon or knife. | |
Return to the freezer to set, about an hour for soft ice cream or 2 to 3 hours for hard serve ice cream. |
For non-vegan, substitute honey for the coconut nectar or maple syrup.
This recipe will be partying at these link parties!

They could pay inflated prices, well above wholesale, or by the late 1970s they could enlist in Smith & Wesson's Stocking Dealer programs in their Carter Era form. Under that program, for every five Smith & Wesson 1000 shotguns a dealer bought for $229.95 apiece, he would get one Model 29 for $250. We would sell the 1000s at cost or lose $10 apiece on them, and sell the 29 for $550 - $600 range pricing. The Model 1000 was made for Smith & Wesson by Howa in Japan, and all of them were such good shotguns that most of them are still serviceable, and will be for many years to come. Here is a circa 1982 Howa / Smith & Wesson model 1000-M, steel frame and 3 inch Magnum capable with one gas port instead of two. It was fairly new when Steel Shot came into usage, and its owner, a distinguished Agriculture Scientist, had its barrel cut to 26 inches and a Colonial Arms Modified Choke Tube installed. Thread specs are .795 x 44, and this tube is made by Colonial Arms, PO Box 636, Selma, Alabama 36702. This tube is the exact same thread as Remington's Baikal Imports. The owner of this shotgun was a meticulous chemical engineer, and its moderate amount of surface detractions comes from waterfowl hunting. From the looks of the shell carrier / floorplate, we do not believe it was ever fired over 300 rounds. Finishwise, we classify it as Very Good, since it has a moderate amount of scouring and weathering to its glossy finished walnut stock and forend, and some spottiness to its receiver and other blue steel surfaces. Photos ought to suffice so that our shoppers can judge finish grade for themselves. It is excellent mechanically, and its owner maintained his firearms very, very well. Bore, threads, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent. We're offering this strong, attractive Howa / Smith & Wesson 1000-M Shotgun for only $ 369.95. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Long Guns: $20 flat fee shipping to the lower 48 states; $50 to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico, UPS Ground, insured. We accept checks with no more than 7 days hold. MC or Visa phone- or fax-in orders shipped same day; USPS Money Order paid items shipped same day. Cashiers checks & non-USPS Money Orders hold a day or two longer than personal checks. We require initial payment of at least 20% down within 7 days of offers to buy; otherwise we relist.
