Palladium Books® Weekly Update – May 31, 2012
By Kevin Siembieda
A big summer of hot releases from Palladium Books
That's the goal. And we'll be working our backsides off to make it a reality. I'm sure there will be some delays, but they should be short ones. I'm looking to release the following by Gen Con® – which starts August 16, 2012:
- Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook
- Rifts® Black Market
- The Rifter® #59
- Robotech® The Genesis Pits™ Sourcebook
- Rifts® Northern Gun™ One
- Rifts® Northern Gun™ Two
With a little luck, Rifts® Megaverse in Flames™ will follow hot on their heels. These titles are to be followed by sourcebooks for the Palladium Fantasy RPG®, Beyond the Supernatural™, Splicers® and Chaos Earth™ in the Fall, with more support for ALL game lines in 2013.
This week has been going very well as we work to clear our schedule so we can knock out one new release after another.
UPDATE: Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook
While I had done a little of this and that on the Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook, I have finally dived into it with both feet. From this point forward, I hope to spend most of my time writing one book after another. This has most of the material that was left out of Vampire Kingdoms: Reid's Rangers, Doc Reid, Fort Reid, Camazotz, the Yucatan, Werebeasts, more on the Vampire Kingdoms, Vampire Hunter Slayers (vampire henchmen who hunt and destroy Vampire Hunters!), and other good stuff. All updated and expanded. FYI: Traveling shows appear in Rifts® Black Market.
UPDATE: Rifts® Black Market Sourcebook
I've started assigning the artwork for this book. It is packed with good stuff.
UPDATE: Northern Gun™ One
Chuck Walton has been working on the art for the two Northern Gun books for months. I'm told Robots should be finished by the weekend and I should be seeing the finished, tight pencils for the wraparound cover any day. I will be assigning the rest of the artwork for this book soon.
The Northern Gun™ One – Megaverse® Insider crowdsource funding offer starts next week on June 7 and runs til June 25, 2012. This is your chance to get your name listed in the book and acquire items made available exclusively for the Megaverse® Insider crowdsource funding offer. Items such as a PDF of the book, limited edition hardcovers and so on.
UPDATE: Northern Gun™ Two
Same story as above. Chuck has been working on the interior art, John Zeleznik has been busy working on the cover and I expect to see the tight pencils for it any day now. I also need to assign the rest of the artwork. FYI: Northern Gun™ Two – Megaverse® Insider crowdsource funding offer will take place in July, 2012. It will be structured very much like the Lemuria offer. Full details for both Insider offers have yet to be finalized.
UPDATE: The Rifter® #59 & Rifter® Submisisons
Wayne has begun selecting material for The Rifter® #59. Art assignments will follow. Out thanks to those of you who have submitted material for our consideration.
UPDATE: Robotech® The Genesis Pits™ Sourcebook
When I'm not working on Rifts® Vampires Sourcebook I'll be working on Robotech® Genesis Pits. Art assignments should be going out this weekend.
UPDATE: Rifts® Megaverse® in Flames
No change on this title yet. I've gone over the manuscript, broken it down into sections, done a few bits and pieces of editing, and will be assigning art for it by the end of June. This book will knock your socks off.
UPDATE: I'm still calling Lemuria Benefactors & Ultimate Insiders
I was unable to call everyone I had hoped to call over the Memorial Day weekend, though I done leave messages for almost everyone. Most of you were out having Summer fun and enjoying what I hope was a gorgeous weekend with family and friends. I did speak with 6-8 people over the weekend and I have been enjoying my conversations with EVERYONE I've spoken to so far. I look forward to speaking with the rest of you by the end of the weekend. At least that's the plan.
UPDATE: New PDFs now available on DriveThruRPG.com
The Rifter® #51 and #52 are now available on DriveThruRPG.com and we may be adding a few more items in the weeks to come. The Rifter® #49 and #50 were added just last week, and all issues #1-52 are currently available. We're also continuing to move forward with plans for the PDF only editions of The Rifter® #0.1 and The Rifter® #0.2 – both are big, juicy digital editions of new, fan created material for the Palladium Megaverse® of games.
Don't forget, DriveThruRPG.com also offers the Rifts® and Palladium Fantasy® Game Master Kits (both written by Carl Gleba and complete with maps, combat matrix, character sheets, spell list, and 20 pre-rolled characters created by Julius Rosenstein; $5 each), and FREE Sneak Previews of Endless Dead™, Rifts® Lemuria, Rifts® Vampire Kingdoms™, and Thundercloud Galaxy™, as well as 90+ back stock titles, including back issues of The Rifter®, and first edition rule books for Rifts®, Palladium Fantasy RPG®, Heroes Unlimited™, The Mechanoid Invasion® Trilogy, and lots of other good things. ALL available as PDF downloads at reasonable prices. And there is MORE to come.
UPDATE: Online Sales
I'm afraid the Memorial Day Weekend sent sales into a tailspin, making them the worst weekend sales of the year. Maybe the worst weekend ever. Yikes. We assume everyone was out enjoying a long weekend with family, or taking advantage of the million Memorial Day sales. The rest of the week, so far, has been better but very slow. Hey, slumps happen and we typically see a seasonal slump just before it picks up for the Summer. Don't forget, we have all kinds of recent book releases, reprint titles, and new non-book products. I know gamers are hungry for new product and that is a good sign, especially since we have a lot of great new items coming your way.
UPDATE: Kevin's Online Toy & Collectibles Store
Alex and I continue to add a bunch of Palladium collectibles as well as a large number of collectible toys and action figures to my online store. More will be added all weekend long as well as more new items every few days for the next several weeks. Right now they include proofreader copies of books, Palladium gold editions, some artwork, some art prints, and other good stuff. Most Palladium items are signed by me, Alex and other Palladium creators. We'll keep them coming if you keep buying them. http://stores.ebay.com/kevinstoys-artandcollectibles
UPDATE: Gen Con® Indy – Booth 1125 – August 16-19, 2012
I'm not sure why, but I'm more excited about Gen Con Indy this year than I've been in a long time. It's probably because of all the new releases we should have available by then.
This year's lineup of Palladium troublemakers available to chat with you and sign books include: me (Kevin Siembieda), Wayne Smith, Matthew Clements, Charles Walton, Brandon Aten, Sarah Aten, Mark Oberle, and possibly a couple of others. We are looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. If you are coming to Gen Con® Indy, make sure you stop by the Palladium Booth, #1125.
Enjoy Videos of Palladium Creators
Want to see what kind of goofballs we really are? Then check these out. ALL 24 of these video interviews are on YouTube and waiting for your enjoyment.
Carmen Bellaire and Wyll Johnson conducted short video interviews of Palladium artists, writers, staff and personalities at the Palladium Open House. They are fun and worth watching. Carmen hopes to post a few other Open House videos this weekend, including at least some part of my opening ceremonies. Each video is 8-10 minutes long and include chats with Amy L. Ashbaugh, Nick Bradshaw, Mike Mumah, Chuck Walton, Brian Manning, Allen Manning, Brandon Aten, Irvin Jackson, Mike Leonard, Mark Oberle, Wayne Smith, me and many others. Check 'em out at youtube.com/user/Maloquinn – you can also read my 2012 Palladium Open House Report and see photos for more insight and info about the event.
REMINDER: The Palladium Website
We'll be doing some routine maintenance, and making upgrades and changes behind the scenes over the next few weeks. That means it is a good time for you to offer suggestions on things you might like to see added, changed and improved on the website.
UPDATE: Northern Gun Megaverse® Insider starts June 7, 2012
I'm surprised at how many of you seem to be anxiously awaiting our Northern Gun crowdsource funding opportunity. To help fund and facilitate new Palladium products and growth, we will continue to offer new Megaverse® Insider crowdfunding opportunities. Such crowdfunding will be reserved for major releases like Northern Gun One and Two and new ventures into new markets and mediums. Money made above and beyond our projected goals for the specific project is applied to paying off debt, increasing promotion and advertising, and other new products.
The next Megaverse® Insider offers will be for the two Northern Gun Rifts® World Books – the first of which kicks off on June 7, 2012. More on it next week.
Palladium's Megaverse® Insider offers, in effect, sell you an array of special items that are NOT generally available to the public. Product available only to Megaverse® Insiders and only for the limited 2-3 week period of that specific Megaverse® Insider offer. "Insider exclusive" products include your name listed in that book as one of the "Insiders" who made it possible, a very limited edition hardcover, a more limited edition, collector's hardcover foil edition, a PDF version of the book, and special combination packages that may include limited edition prints, original artwork and a call from me, Kevin Siembieda, for a brief chat.
We try to make these special Megaverse® Insider products and opportunities special and worthwhile. This is not a charity, it's the sale of unique items and opportunities that we hope have sentimental and financial value to you, as well as a means to help fund the production of the specific book/project. We hope that in a few years, those limited edition hardcovers, for example, are worth 2, 3 or 10 times what you paid for them. After all, they are printed to your exact orders plus a few dozen extra. (Both of the Rifts® Lemuria hardcovers were under 200 copies. That's a limited press run!)
Have a nice weekend. I'm happy to report that I'll be writing away all weekend, taking breaks only to call Benefactors and Ultimate Insiders from the last Insider crowdsource funding. Have a pleasant weekend and keep those imaginations burning bright.
– Kevin Siembieda, Publisher, Writer and Game Designer

So you've decided to start using cloth diapers. Or you are thinking about it. Welcome! You will find a wonderful community of cloth diapering families. There are many different kinds of cloth diapers it can seem a little overwhelming at first. Don't worry, I am here to help! There are four main types of cloth diapers, all in ones, prefolds and a cover, pocket diapers and hybrids. One is not better than the other, they all work well. It is a matter of personal choice.
An all in one diaper is made up of an outer waterproof layer and multiple inner absorbent layers that are sewn together. There is nothing to remove and replace within this diaper. The AIO diaper is similar to a disposable diaper in that you change the entire diaper each time.
The prefolds and a cover are typically what our grandparents used. They consist of an absorbent prefold or insert and a waterproof cover. When using these you need to change the prefold or insert at every diaper change and either wipe down or change the waterproof cover.
A pocket diaper is similar to an all in one diaper, except it has a removable insert. The removable insert goes inside a pocket, hence the name. You do need to change the entire diaper every time, but the pocket diaper allows you to remove or add layers of absorbency as needed.
I use, and love, hybrid diapers, specifically gDiapers. A hybrid diaper is made up of an outer waterproof shell and an inner, removable absorbent layer. The dirty insert can be taken out and a new, clean insert put in its place. You do not need to change the outer layer. Hybrids also have the option of using a disposable insert instead of a cloth insert.
Once you have decided which diaper style is right for you, now the fun work begins! How many diapers do you need? This depends on the kind of diaper you have chosen and how often you want to do laundry. Because you need to change the entire diaper when using an AIO or a pocket diaper, you need more of these than any other diaper. I like to have 12 diapers per day. This allows me to change my baby's diaper every 2 hours all day and night. In the newborn stage, this will happen. I like to have enough diapers to do laundry every 3 days. This means if I were to use AIOs or pocket diapers I would need 36 diapers. 36 AIOs or 36 pocket diapers with 36 inserts for the pocket diapers. If you want to do laundry more or less, add or subtract a days worth of diapers from this number.
For the hybrid diaper and the prefolds, you need more inserts than you do outer waterproof shells. Most hybrid diapers allow you to use one outer waterproof shell per day. Sometimes this shell will get wet or dirty. I recommend having 6 waterproof shells and 36 inserts to be able to do laundry every 3 days.
Now you have your 36 cloth diapers. What else do you need? The necessities are a diaper pail to hold your dirty diapers, a washable reusable diaper pail liner to make laundry day easier and less smelly, and a few wet bags for the times you are not at home. All diaper pail liners are basically the same, a waterproof bag with a top that closes. I toss my dirty diapers into my diaper pail and on washing day I grab the entire bag of dirty diapers, dump them in the washing machine and am ready to wash. All wet bags are similar, made from a waterproof material with a zipper at the top. These are washable as well. When out and about I put my dirty diapers, sans the wipes, inside my wet bags and when I am home I unzip the top and either toss them in the laundry or toss them in my diaper pail. I like to have 2 diaper pail liners so I always have a clean one. I have around 10 wet bags. How many you need depends on your routine and schedule. The bare minimum, in my opinion, is 4 wet bags. This allows you to use one each day for 3 days and have 1 clean one while you are washing your diapers. I have heard of some people purchasing a large wet bag and using that instead of a diaper pail and diaper pail liner. It is all up to you.
You do also need detergent to wash your cloth diapers. There are specially formulated detergents, like Molly's Suds (read a full review here), specifically made to be used with cloth diapers. I prefer to use these detergents. You can use regular detergent as long as it does not have brighteners, dyes, fabric softener, stain guard, artificial fragrances and natural oils. You want to avoid these things because they will build up in your cloth making your cloth less absorbent, creating leaks and possibly diaper rash. You also do not want to use bleach with your diapers as it will break down the fibers.
Things you need to start cloth diapering-
- enough cloth diapers to last you 2-3 days before washing
- a wet bag and/or diaper pail with liner
- detergent to wash your cloth diapers
That's it! There are other optional accessories, like cloth wipes and a diaper sprayer (attaches to your toilet to spray off the stuck poo). Until your baby starts eating solid food, as long as they are exclusively breast fed, their poo is water soluble. Once they are eating food you do need to put their poo in the toilet as it is not water soluble and your washing machine can not clean this in large amounts.
Some diapers come in sizes, newborn, small, medium and large, and some come in one size that fits a large weight range, typically 10-30 pounds. I prefer the sized diapers because I do not like the look of multiple buttons all over my diapers. Again, this is a personal choice and does not effect the quality or use of the diaper.
Note: the purple diaper is a newborn size and the green is a large size. I do not have any AIOs in a bigger size to compare it to.
My cloth diaper stash is very large. I have about 100 outer shells and around 50 inserts. You do not NEED this many outer shells. But be warned, cloth diapering, for some, is an addiction! 🙂 A diaper to match every outfit is the downfall for most of us. However, if you are doing cloth on a budget, you do not need to go overboard.
You can buy your diapers new or used. Getting a decent stash will cost you anywhere form $300-500 depending on what type of diaper you purchase. Buying used most definitely saves you money. When you are done with your cloth diapers, you can sell them as well!
If you would like to learn more about gDiapers, how to use them and what you need for this brand specifically, read my review here.

Short, Human Friendly, Permalinks
I was recently asked for my Amazon wishlist. I wasn't able to use email and was expected to write down the URL. I had a look and found that the URL (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/IO9HVNCPEWGD) wasn't paper or speech friendly. Instead of attempting to convey this URL, I used the opportunity to create my own human friendly permalink for my wishlist (chrisroos.co.uk/amazonwishlist). I actually started with a hyphenated variant (amazon-wishlist) but realised that the non-hyphenated version would be easier for someone to understand in conversation.
This seems to tie in with what Dave Winer has been talking about recently.
I think this'd be quite a neat, and fairly easy, little webapp to build. It would need a simple interface for managing permalinks and the ability to work with multiple domains. Hmm, I'm tempted to give this a shot unless anyone knows of anything similar already out there?

The internet is a tool for transformation..
think about it: you can recreate yourself, your business, your look, your book, your thinking, your recipe, advice, love, mood…at the stroke of the key-the click of the mouse……
i love the ever changeing frontier that is the worldwideweb. i dream about code and am constantly amazed and inspired by what is being generated and passed along these fiber connectors-
F-ing AWESOME!
we are able to manifest our destiny- memetics,viral thoughts…all of it -allows our ideas to be instantly transfered to reality- such power at our disposal….. and with such power..comes responsibily…
as all these fancy pages and magical idea transfers- they can be used for both good or evil-
The Good: spreading love beauty happiness art fun inspiration and reasons to be nice to kids and puppies.
the evil : draining useless information transfers, that sometimes clog our fiber connectors, in the form of spam, false fixes, spiteful gossip blogging, virus-y emails, and general explotation of naivety.
The world s a dangerous place
not because those who do evil ,
but because of the people who look on and do nothing.
-Albert Einstein
So, on that note…. and with hopes of buliding up the good team, by diminishing a little bit of the bad….im going to try and do something constructive about the wwww evils i come across ..because really , all the bad webstuff is just being spread due to lack of knowledge ;
which brings back that old adage: knowledge, is still the biggest power source for us humans-
i am going to offer you with a few ideas and thoughts of mine-on what i think is real and cool and useful and what is not
– collecting and marking info /sites/ pages that spread general shitty-ness for the simple shitty sake of being shitty .
the quote that inspired me
" I envision a world of people experiencing great satisfaction in their lives, all clear about what is most important to them and in the process of creating it. For me, if I were to put a label on my life purpose, it would be "special agent for progress." Everything I do is about progress, both for myself and for others. The advance of technology lights me up like a little kid. I just love new gadgets. Even more, I love seeing and helping people grow in their own consciousness. And the more I feel special—like I really make a difference—the more energy I have to contribute."
that quote
completes me.. completely encapsulates what i see as my specialpurpose**
** see Navron Johnson
What i can do for you:
- WordPress-setup fix design explain teach :( everything)
- Simplify ways of doing cool stuff online
- help you create your online profiles/sites/pages
- investigate online services/products for you
- make stuff work : blogs, mail, pictures, ads..
- make stuff work better.(see above)

- 1 Why Keeping a Journal is Helpful for Weight Loss
- 2 How to Start Your Food Journal
- 3 Some Final Advice
You should never underestimate the power of perception. And something as basic as keeping a food journal for weight loss is one of the most effective ways you can expand your vision on a healthier life.
Up until now, there are many individuals who have discovered that keeping track of what they eat can help them to make better choices, especially when weight loss has become a priority.
And let's be honest, anything that can help to reach a target weight in a healthy manner deserves to be entertained.
Why Keeping a Journal is Helpful for Weight Loss
Before getting into some tips on how to keep a food journal for weight loss, you should understand why it can ultimately help.
You see, just assuming it will aid you on your journey and hoping something will magically happen is not the approach you should be using.
Instead, you want to create a food journal with purpose. And this purpose should be to pay more attention to the things you put in your mouth.
Just like a personal diary is considered a form of therapy and a dream journal a source of spiritual discovery, a food journal can help you understand why you are not reaching your target weight.
So, if you decide to create one, stay consistent and keep it up to date as best you can.
And here are some suggestions on helping you get started.
How to Start Your Food Journal
1. Set Up A System
The first thing you have to do is get a system in place. What will be the most comfortable and convenient way of keeping a food journal?
If you prefer modern tactics, you can download an app with a built-in template. But if you like things old-school, you can use a conventional pad and paper, then draw up columns you can easily fill in as you go.
In terms of what you should keep track of, it is recommended to enter the following in your food journal.
- Date
- Time
- Place
- Food and beverages
- Quantities consumed
- Anything else you deem valuable
As mentioned, you need to get meticulous if you really want the food journal to make a difference. If you skip entries or fill in the wrong information, you are just trying to fool yourself. Stay consistent and implement food journal entries into your routine.
2. The More Specific, The Better
While it might make you look like a borderline maniac, really get specific with your journal. Because the more accurate details you add, the more effective the journal will be.
For instance, add every snack you have between meals, and yes, even when you test the food you are cooking.
Record every little thing you consume, no matter how insignificant it might seem at that moment.
The same goes for the beverages you drink. Every drop should be noted, along with the amount of water you get in. And after a week or two, you'll thank yourself for going all "maniac" with your entries.
3. Get Informed
A very important part of the food journal, especially if you are looking to lose weight, is the quantities you record.
Naturally, these have to be as accurate as possible, and merely judging from what you see is not the way to go.
The better option would be to invest in a scale and some measuring cups (assuming you cook your own meals).
For occasions when you go out to a restaurant, do an online search and find more information about specific places and their portion sizes/weight.
Essentially, the more you pay attention, the better you'll be at estimating the quantities of the calories you consume.
4. The Importance Of Time, Date, And Place
You are probably wondering why these variables are important for the food journal? Why does it matter when and where you ate?
Keep in mind that losing weight is a total lifestyle change and not just a few adjustments in your eating habits. In other words, the time and places you are prone to eat fit into your lifestyle, which could need some tweaking if you want to get more control.
This is why you want to accurately take note of when and where you eat, seeing as it can reveal some valuable information.
5. Record The After-Effects
That's right, another entry in your food journal should be based on how you feel after eating something.
- Did it change your mood?
- And what about your energy levels?
- Did you feel energized or sluggish?
Give your body and mind about 10 or 20 minutes to calculate what you've just consumed, and make that note in your journal.
This includes the physical side-effects, even if what you eat makes you sick to your stomach.
6. Actually Read Your Journal
Now comes the magic, because this is when you start reading your journal.
It's been a few weeks that you've been keeping meticulous track of your eating and drinking habits, and all that is left is to find a pattern.
Basically, you are holding up a mirror and you have to start being honest with yourself.
For example, do you constantly find yourself in situations where you overeat?
Maybe you snack too much between meals, or maybe your lunch portion is making you feel physically drained?
These are all possibilities that can jump out at you once you take a closer look at your habits. And now that you know where your weaknesses are, you can begin the process of changing them.
Diets That Can Help
Feeling lost? Don't worry, you're not alone! When it comes to losing weight, following a diet plan, and keeping a food journal, things can start to feel overwhelming in a hurry!
The good news is, there are plenty of programs out there than can help you stay on track.
While the good old fashioned pencil and paper food journal works great, there are some programs that utilize modern-day technology to help you journal as well.
The New Weight Watchers Digital program is just one that comes to mind. There are plenty of others out there, though, so be sure to search for a diet that's going to work for you, and go from there.
Pretty much all of them have food journal apps built in at this point- you can see a list of them on our homepage – so just pick one that fits your needs and lifestyle and start your weight loss journey.
Some Final Advice
There are healthy and less healthy ways to reach your target weight, and keeping a food journal falls squarely into the former. It doesn't require a trip to the doctor or a prescription, and the only costs involved is a little bit of your time.
But remember that you are running a marathon, not a race. Because losing the weight is probably easier than keeping it off, so prep yourself for permanent and healthy changes once your food journal gets its first entry.

Need to earn fast money? Why not retail gold for cash? Gold is great in demand these days as more and more people appreciate the beauty and value of gold.
If you want to get the most out of your earnings from gold, you need to establish first the worth of your gold. Appreciate the standard measurement for gold and how to measure the purity of gold alloys.
This is usually referred to as karats. Frequently, karat grades are engraved in gold items.
Note that the upper the karat grade is the higher is the gold content in a gold item.
Subsequently, the higher is the value of the gold pieces. Another essential aspect that you should recognize almost is the real weight of your gold. Utmost merchant practices grams in calculating the weight of gold to get the value of gold.
Here is a list of the unlike kinds of gold that you can sell and earn favorable earnings.
Gold Bullion
This form of gold is an excellent investment vehicle. When an average person is a request about Bullion, the usual reply is gold bars. The reality is Gold bullion comes in two basic forms – bullion coins and bars. Gold bullion specifies the value that is exclusively derived from the content of gold.
Gold Coins
Gold coins are the prized ownership of coin collectors. Gold coins are for investing and collecting. They are stress-free to transport and to store. These times, people even those fitting in the middle class families can now profit and gather gold coins.
Gold Jewelries
These are high stylish jewelries. They never go out of trend. India and China are two of the chief consumers of gold, and they use this precious metal for jewelry engineering.
Gold jewelries come in several forms and designs from earrings to rings and gold necklaces.
Scrap Gold
Not all scraps are worthless. Junk or Scrap gold is very merchantable. Scrap gold is still gainful because these items are reprocessed to make new gold pieces. Samples of junk gold are dental gold, gold wires and broken gold jewelries, etc…
Be cautious when selling gold because these metals are costly. There are so many folks who will do anything just to get hold of your precious items. Read guidelines and pointers on how to sell your items to get the best out of your profit.

Passing on "Furry" Blog Love
Last week, my new human friend, Sharilyn, at Dancin' On Rainbows surprised me with the above blog award. Please visit Sharilyn's blog; my Mommie loves it!
Two rules accompany this award:
1. Confess 5 things you are addicted to
2. Pass the award on to 5 deserving bloggers
Here goes:
Five Doggie Addictions I suffer from:
1. Need for my Mom's undivided attention at times
2. A big rawhide from time to time
3. To go for lots of rides in Mom's SUV
4. To be the center of attention when my parents have company
5. Lots of belly rubs
Now, I am privileged to pass along "The Fabulous Blog" award. Mom has spent days reading many blogs to me and I have chosen five. Choosing five was quite the challenge.
The Blog Award is being passed to:
Kathleen at Heart to Heart. Her blog offers hope in a dark and despairing world. Her honesty is refreshing as she shares her "heart" with human and canine alike. I am learning valuable life lessons as Mom reads Kathleen's blogs to me.
Laurie at Supernatural Living. Laurie shares her testimony of faith and challenges human and canine alike to live above the norm in their everyday lives.
RCUBES at Off The Beaten Trek. RCUBES encourages each of us to consider our journey and path in light of our Savior, realizing no journey with Christ will ever go wrong.
Mary at Crayon Chronicles. Mary reveals life lessons through her experience with the children she nannies, her own children, and grandchildren. When Mom reads Mary's blog to me, I wiggle and squirm with laughter. Visit Mary and find encouragement for your journey with your own precious gifts from God.
Karlene at Joyful Scribe. Karlene will encourage you to write and share heartfelt devotions with you. She is well spoken and presents God's word beautifully. She suggests you grab a coffee, tea, or mocha...sit back and be encouraged. My only suggestion to my new friend is that she not forget her canine followers....Mom gives me a organic doggie treat before sharing blog articles with me.
Congratulations, human friends, and may you continue to encourage, love, and share GOD's heart through your writing.
Woofs and Wags,
Your furry friend, Sitka

Trees can't see, speak, hear and walk but still they look green. Life is beautiful and prosperous for them. To make our life beautiful like tree, we need awareness to understand the right key to the door of happiness and prosperity as trees have. We will find lot of elusive keys to open fake doors, that will take us to darkness. If i talk like a technologist, then for me god is like a server that is distributing knowledge of life to Arjuna who is the client. And the communication is encrypted with perfect algorithm(Language and Culture) and a pre shared unique key(Holy Books). And if we want to understand this divine communication between him and his devotee, then we need a pre shared key that is unique in this world. We will find lot of fake keys that will connect us to fake servers that will look like the original one, but they are just called honeypots. The divine communication can be decrypted by one public key only and not everybody is lucky enough to dig out that key. The desire of client is to be in sync with server and this state is only received by creating a god-devotee bridge which is not possible for everybody as there are compatibility and memory issues involved. Not everybody is lucky enough to know him although he is directly and indirectly serving his clients. You will see lot of clients pretending that they are server, but the job of the client is to send request and wait in a backlog and job of server is to serve through knowledge and awareness. And syncronisation is the state we all desire. There are lot on insecurities, desires for pleasures in life but ultimate job of river is to flow and reach the big sea. Clients who are not compatible to connect to server, can also connect and enjoy the sync. But what they need is flexibility in their structure. I am living life and am capable enough to change my clothes and food according to the climate, so why aren't we flexible enough to change with phases(Happiness and Sorrow) of life. Flexibility to connect to server is received by using proper key (Holy Book) and not behaving like server.

Demi Rose Does Stuff
There's apparently a rapper named "Tyga" because why wouldn't there be. This is his ex-girlfriend "Demi Rose" because why wouldn't she be. On the plus side she has yet to infect the planet with any offspring which I can imagine might happen anytime now. While she claims to be 26 years old, looking more closely at some of her pictures I'd bet she was 19 at the absolute most. Mostly because she has one of those giant teenager heads. Do you know what I mean? Like a balloon with a face and a big forehead. She also has one of those disgusting gigantic asses which you can't see in that picture because despite what you read about constantly on the internet, only circus freaks and rappers think that's attractive and she knows it so she's trying to appeal to the most people possible. This post is going nowhere and I'm already sick of this idiot.

My first real connection with street photography came from Robert Frank's book The Americans, which I was exposed to as an impressionable student in art school. Despite the fact that it's totally one of those books that you get into in college, it's managed to stick with me all these years and I consider it to be one of the major cultural influences on my life.
Which, I suppose is neither here nor there; I just mention it in an effort to say that I like street photography. This past spring I found myself indulging that interest by reading a sweet book called Street Photography Now, which is where I came across the Russian photographer Alexey Titarenko.
Now originally I was going to ramble a bit about him here, but I decided to spare you any more exposition and just cut to the chase with a few photos from his project titled City of Shadows (all of which were taken in his native St. Petersburg):
Now I won't pretend that I know where he's coming from. After all, I wasn't raised in communist Russia. As such I have no frame of reference for his portrayal of a failed utopia, a world where the people are ghosts of themselves shambling along through their dreary business of survival. That being said, there's something there about futility, hopelessness, anonymity and alienation that is universal, and I instantly connected with that something. Intellectually, aesthetically and — on a very primal level — as someone who alternately feels like both the ghosts and the boy. They're all trapped, just in different ways. And yes, yes — I know how pretentious that sounds. I did mention that I went to art school, right?
Moving along.
For your viewing pleasure, I've embedded a documentary about Titarenko that originally aired in Europe. They have it up on YouTube in three parts, and, unfortunately, they all sort of look like shit. I mean, seriously: you have a documentary on a photographer, and the best you can do is 240p? That's just shameful. And it's doubly shameful considering that it's uploaded to Titarenko's own account! Come on, man — have some self-respect.
Regardless of the video quality, it's a pretty fascinating piece. Aside from the obligatory biographical information, they show him following an old lady around and taking pictures of her and they never mention whether or not he has permission to do so, which is reasonably creepy. They also show him making a print and briefly talking about the bleaching/toning process he uses that makes his work look so fucking dismal. So check it out! Or not; I don't really care. Also: visit his site if you want to see/learn more.
Now without further ado, I give you Alexey Titarenko: Art et la Maniere. Just don't watch it full screen.

Poonch establishes first ever transformer bank
India, Jammu and Kashmir: District Poonch, one of the most remote districts of Jammu and Kashmir, has managed to establish the first ever transformer bank in the district to facilitate prompt replacement of damaged transformers in any part of the district, reports Scoop News.
The bank has been set up at the Electric Division Poonch store at Potha, Surankote, with 15 transformers provided within 24 hours after the direction by the Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti.
Poonch officials expect to enlarge the bank by arranging more transformers through available funding mechanism to strengthen the system of replacement of damaged transformers.
The power supply to the district will be additionally improved with the completion of the works on the receiving station at Potha where a 3.15 MVA transformer is being installed.

This is a beautiful gemstone without visible fault. I would hazard a guess of some kind of orange garnet, if I was pressed to guess, what this gemstone was without knowing. I like this standard round brilliant that weighs 2.32 carats. It's clean medium rich tone without a dark modified (doesn't brown out)is just right for this sized stone.
Now I am comparing a tourmaline with a garnet. Both tourmaline and garnet are large families of related species with varying gemological properties. Still garnets have a consistently higher index of refraction than tourmalines so they should be brighter. This is the case, only if they are given a comparable finish and have the same or better cleanliness. With my extra effort in polishing tourmaline, I think that this red orange tourmaline would stand up well in comparison to garnet cut commercially.

Greeley water-sewer rates set to rise again
December 14, 2005
The Greeley City Council will get a recommendation next week from the water and sewer board to hike water and sewer rates for 2006. The increases will cost the average residential customer $2.20 per month for both water and sewer.
The increase is part of a master water plan adopted by the council in 2003 that calls for 4.5 percent rate hikes for six years. The 2006 increase will be 4.4 percent. That includes an additional 1.5 percent funding of $36 million in additional water acquisition.
The council will get the board's recommendation on Tuesday.
Jon Monson, the city's water and sewer director, told the board Wednesday afternoon the city's planning commission anticipates 6,000 new housing units in Greeley in the next five years and that water infrastructure must keep paced.
Windsor, Milliken and Evans will be charged more next year for water that Greeley treats and transfers for those three communities. Whether those charges are passed on to residents or absorbed will be up to officials in those communities.
Monson said compared to other cities in northern Colorado, Greeley water rates remain in the lower third, and sewer rates are in the middle third.

Harold Evans, who chairs the water and sewer board, said part of the increase will be used to buy the 6,000 acre-feet of water the city needs to service that dryland area west of Greeley that is being rapidly developed.
"In addition to that 6,000 acre-feet, we may go ahead and acquire water supplies for the future," Evans said, adding it makes more sense to gradually increase rates rather than hitting customers with one large hike.
That came in response to a question by Fred Otis, the newest member of the board, who expressed concern whether the 6,000 acre-feet will be enough to meet demands.
"Maybe we need to be more aggressive," Otis said.
Monson said that should become better known in the next six months when a new water demand study is completed. And board member Bob Ruyle said if necessary, it might be prudent to extend the plan by the more than six years.

We'll probably never see the bright colors of homes along Italy's sunny Amalfi Coast coming to America. Nor will we ever enter the worlds of sunshine and vivid color found in many homes as near to us as the Caribbean Islands or as far away as Lebanon and Tel Aviv. But, even with plenty of exterior home colors to choose from or to custom create ourselves, when it comes to painting the house structure or choosing a standard or custom color for a metal roof, most American homeowners tend to keep it simple.
Very little has changed since the last time we surveyed what colors our customers were choosing when they installed one of our standing seam metal roofs. Same with the big American paint companies whose customers are just now applying the 2015 exterior house paint colors recommended this year.
The fact of the matter is American color choices are pretty dull. Light, warm grays, honeyed yellow and a muted orange here and there are about as exciting as it gets on home exteriors. In the Southwest, an occasional terra cotta roof pops up—but that's it. And in the American South in places like Florida where you thought you might see a hint of color, the big paint pushers talk of sun-washed tones mixed with avocado greens and dark blues.

Kubota B3000
There are actually 2 slight variations of the Kubota B3000 tractor. One is the Kubota B3000HSDC and the other is the Kubota B3000HSDCC. There is very little difference between the 2 except for the mid mounted mower decks that they can accommodate, the hydraulic control systems and alternators. They both have the same engine. This is a Kubota E-TVCS 4 cylinder diesel engine with a total displacement of 1.498 liters. It's a 4 cylinder motor that has a total power output of 30 hp. The engine utilizes a pressurized, forced lubrication system to prevent the moving parts from wearing. The engine is liquid cooled and uses a pressurized radiator to dissipate heat. The fuel tank, providing diesel to the engine can hold up to 31 liters (8.1 US gallons) of diesel. The engine is key started via a 12 volt battery that is then recharged by a 40 amp (Kubota B3000HSDC) or 60 amp alternator (Kubota B3000HSDCC).
The transmission on the Kubota B3000 is a HST hydrostatic with 3 ranges (Hi, Medium and Lo) similar to the gearboxes you'll find on most of the rest of the B series. This transmission gives it a top speed of 19.5 kph (12.1 mph) going forwards while in reverse it has a top speed of 15.5 kph (96 mph). The total length of the B 3000 tractor comes to 2.64 m (104 inches), while it has a wheelbase that measures 1.67 m (65.7 inches). The tractors weighs in at 1030 kg (2271 lbs) without any attachments.
The Kubota B3000 has a number of attachments that it is compatible with. These include a choice of mid mounted mower deck that has a cutting width of 60 inches or a much bigger deck with a cutting width of 72 inches. The mower deck has 3 blades and can be raised from a low of 1.5 inches to a high of 4 inches above the ground. There is also a LA403 front loader that can be attached as well as a BH77 backhoe. Similar models, that are slightly smaller include the Kubota B2630 and the Kubota B2920 tractors.

Berlin Tram and Underground System
Your train ticket to Berlin will also allow you to ride the tram or underground from the train station to your hotel or final destination in the city for free on the day of your arrival.
Just hang on to your train ticket and be prepared to show it should someone ask for proof.
The tram and underground systems in Berlin work on the honour system and it is rare to be asked for your ticket. But you could face a severe fine if asked to produce your ticket and you don't have one.
The Berlin tram and underground are both fabulous, convenient, efficient, modern and clean modes of transportation that serve all parts of the city. Tickets are inexpensive: 2.30 Euros for one 2-hour ticket, 6.30 Euros for a 24-hour ticket. They work on both the tram and underground systems as well as on buses, and you can move from one system to the other with the same ticket.
You can buy tickets from a machine on the underground platform, at special ticket offices (there's one at the train station) or on the bus or tram (coins may be required).
Once you buy your ticket, you must validate it at your first point of entry, whether on the underground or a tram or bus. There are no barriers or ticket takers (it's the honour system), so just look for a small machine on the underground platform or the tram or bus and insert your ticket to have it time stamped.
If you're planning on staying in Berlin for a while, it might be worthwhile to buy a "Berlin Welcome Card," a tourist pass or multi-day pass for the trams and underground, which also gives you discounts at restaurants, museums and other tourist sites.
A 48-hour pass costs 16.90 Euros, 72-hour pass is 22.90 Euros, and a five-day pass is 29.90 Euros. We used ours extensively for travel and it worked like a charm. We did not find as many restaurants and museums that accepted the card as we would have liked, but we still saved money on those that did take it.
Click here for the link to the Berlin Welcome Card site.
There is also a more expensive "Berlin Welcome Card Museuminsel" that also includes access to the five major museums on museum island.

New luxury home tour features Greenwich houses
Later this month, Greenwich and Darien will serve as the backdrop for part of a Fairfield County building industry group's first Luxury Home Tour.
Two of four speculative homes featured on the tour planned to promote work by members of the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Fairfield County are in Greenwich. Karp Associates built a $5.4 million, 4,000-square-foot Old Greenwich home on North Crossway, which includes private balconies with views of Long Island Sound and a boat-docking facility. In Riverside, Argus Development will show a $6.5 million, 7,405-square-foot home that includes a wine cellar and private gym.
The other featured houses are in Darien.
"These are exceptional homes," said Gina Calabro, the group's CEO. "For these types of homes, there aren't always necessarily open houses, so this is a good way to show off the fun work that our builders are doing."
Tour visitors will have the opportunity ask the builders questions and signs will highlight various parts of the homes done by other HBRA members, so people know who to contact for things they like, Calabro said.
Similar home tours are common across the country, Calabro said, which prompted her to try it in Fairfield County for the first time this year. The tours, which costs $20 in advance and $25 at the door, will take place April 22 and 23 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
Visitors will receive a glossy guidebook. The first 400 will be rewarded with a Milan Jute tote.
To kick off the weekend, there will be a reception April 21 from 6 to 8 p.m. on the site of last year's HOBI winner for best remodeled home, also in Greenwich. The event is limited to 125 people, whose $75 tickets include admission to the weekend tour, Calabro said. Net ticket sale proceeds will go to several charities: The Fairfield County Community Foundation and PSC Partners Seeking a Cure, which provides education, support and fundraising for primary sclerosing cholangitis.
The tour is Fairfield County HBRA's first foray into such an event, but Calabro has already received a lot of favorable feedback, she said.
"Next year we want to make this even bigger," Calabro said. "Maybe we'll have 20 homes."
This story has been edited to correct the number of available tickets for the kick off reception.

All is finally well in computer-land. After several re-boots and some long periods of rest, my computer once again became accessible and life has returned to normal (whatever normal is re: technology). I can now access Windows, my radio editing programs and all my documents (which, of course, I do copy periodically to my external hard drive!).
Until I could use my regular computer, I worked with my Toshiba notebook and was able to re-post on Facebook some of the Vatican's weekend news stories, given the importance of the Vatican reaction to the Paris terrorist attacks and Pope Francis' firm words Saturday and also Sunday at the Angelus. I was also able to post some photos from Pza. Farnese in Rome, site of the French embassy, that were taken by a friend and first year seminarian at NAC that showed the floral tribute by Romans to their fallen brothers and sisters in France.
A solemn prayer service organized by the Sant Egidio Community as a "Prayer for Peace in memory of the victims of Paris" will be held this evening at the basilica of Santa Maria di Trastevere. Masses, vigils and prayers services were held throughout Rome over the weekend for the victims of terror and for the nation of France.
How is Italy – how is Rome – reacting to Friday's attacks in Paris? It is logical to think that the capitals of countries that are part of a coalition to defeat ISIS would be potential intended targets of similar attacks and that, therefore, measures would be taken to reinforce or strengthen security measures already in place. And indeed that is happening in Italy.
Italy and the Vatican began to really beef up a lot of security measure fifteen years ago for the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000, and those measures have not only remained constant, they are constantly improved and updated, day by day.
In Rome, we saw noticeably increased security over the weekend at the Vatican and throughout the Eternal City at all the highly frequented monuments, well known piazzas, fountains and places of worship. Greater numbers than usual of uniformed police were on duty around St. Peter's Square for the Pope's Sunday Angelus. They randomly checked bags and backpacks. Not to mention the increased number of agents not in uniform who are patrolling the city.
Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, in an interview with French Catholic daily La Croix, said, "These events don't change the Pope's agenda at all," Sunday, a visibly moved Francis said at the Angelus that using God's name to justify violence was "blasphemy."
According to ANSA news agency, Italian Premier Matteo Renzi on Monday said that bombing campaigns will not suffice to stop Islamist extremist groups like ISIS and called for the international community to adopt a comprehensive political strategy to stop terrorism after Friday's attacks in Paris. Speaking at the G20 summit in Turkey, Renzi, when asked about France bombing ISIS's headquarters in Syria Al-Raqqah, said: "A great political strategy is needed." The Italian PM is set to take part in meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama and leaders from France, Britain and Germany to discuss what to do after Friday's attacks. Renzi said Monday that his government was ready to discuss increasing funding for security in the 2016 budget bill.
ANSA reported that Italian police on Monday issued an order to patrols in the province of Turin to search for Baptiste Burgy, a 32-year-old French national suspected of being involved in Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris. Officers on the Turin ring-road and Piedmont highways were told to look for a black Seat Ibiza with Burgy aboard. A previous order had told police to look out for a black Seat car with registration number GUT 18053 that probably crossed the Italian-French border at Ventimiglia.
ANSA also reported that Italy has taken in 139,770 migrants so far this year, down 9% from the same period in 2014 when the total reached 170,100. Sicily is the region hosting the greatest number of migrants, followed by Lombardy and Lazio. Rome is in Lazio.
Talks of closing borders in Europe have increased enormously since Friday. Borders are currently regulated by the 1985 Schengen Agreement. In a nutshell, the Schengen Agreement, a treaty regarding the gradual abolition of border checks in Europe, was signed 30 years by five of the ten member states of the then European Economic Community near the town of Schengen in Luxembourg. The treaty proposed the gradual abolition of border checks at the signatories' common borders. Five years later, in 1990, this was supplemented by the Schengen Convention that proposed the abolition of internal border controls and a common visa policy. The Schengen Area, rather like a single state for international travel purposes currently consists of 26 European countries covering a population of over 400 million people and an area of 4,312,099 square kilometres (1,664,911 sq mi).
The website of the European Union says: The free movement of persons is a fundamental right guaranteed by the EU to its citizens. It entitles every EU citizen to travel, work and live in any EU country without special formalities. Schengen cooperation enhances this freedom by enabling citizens to cross internal borders without being subjected to border checks. The border-free Schengen Area guarantees free movement to more than 400 million EU citizens, as well as to many non-EU nationals, businessmen, tourists or other persons legally present on the EU territory. (JFL: There are provisions for warranted border checks, stopping individuals, etc.)
Here is the map they show on their website:
As you have seen and heard in news reports the last few days, the terrorists experienced freedom of movement in crossing borders in Europe – southern, eastern and central – although some were already in France and others were French residents. The greatest concern has been the huge flow of refugees into Europe, principally from Syria, because of the ISIS presence and barbarity in the Middle East. It is within these refugee groups that a number of terrorists have hidden themselves – and are possibly doing so as I write these words.
Thus, voices have been rising that ask for borders to be closed again, if not permanently, then for a designated period or set of circumstances.
One site notes: "Schengen is now a core part of EU law and all EU member states without an opt-out which have not already joined the Schengen Area are legally obliged to do so when technical requirements have been met. Several non-EU countries are also included in the area." However, the EU site states that, "If there is a serious threat to public policy or internal security, a Schengen country may exceptionally temporarily re-introduce border control at its internal borders for, in principle, a limited period of no more than thirty days. If such controls are reintroduced, the other Schengen countries, the European Parliament and the Commission should be informed, as should the public."
The next days and weeks will be incredibly interesting from so many viewpoints, not least of which may well be the moral obligations vis-à-vis the welcoming of refugees, borders remaining open or not, etc.
Fr. Federico Lombardi, head of the Holy See Press Office, issued a statement Saturday noting that, "In these sad days, in which murderous violence has reared its insane, horrible head, many wonder how to respond. Some people are already asking how to live the experience of these last days of waiting before the opening of the Jubilee [of Mercy]."
He answered that we must "be on guard: these murderers, possessed by a senseless hatred, are called 'terrorists' precisely because they want to spread terror. If we let ourselves be frightened, they will have already reached their first objective. This, then, is one more reason to resist with determination and courage the temptation to fear."
"It goes without saying," Fr. Lombardi went on, "that we must be cautious, and not irresponsible: we must take precautions that are reasonable. Nevertheless, we must go on living by building peace and mutual trust. So I would say that the Jubilee of Mercy shows itself even more necessary. A message of mercy, that love of God which leads to mutual love and reconciliation. This is precisely the answer we must give in times of temptation to mistrust."
Father Lombardi's statement pointed out that, "St. John Paul II said that the message of mercy was the great response of God and of believers in the dark and horrible time of the Second World War, which saw massacres carried out by totalitarian regimes, and the spread of hatred among peoples and persons. Today, too, when Pope Francis speaks of a third world war being fought piecemeal, there is need for a message of mercy to make us capable of building bridges, and, in spite of everything, to have the courage of love."
The head of the press office stated unequivocally that, "this is, therefore, no time to give up the Jubilee, or to be afraid. We need the Jubilee more than ever. We have to live with prudent intelligence, but also with courage and spiritual élan, continuing to look to the future with hope, despite the attacks of hatred. Pope Francis guides us and invites us to trust in the Spirit of the Lord who accompanies us."
For the first time since Jubilees and Holy Years began in 1300, pilgrims will have to register on the official Vatican Jubilee website in order to enter St. Peter's Basilica through the Holy Door. This provision was actually announced long before the terror attacks in Paris on November 13 but will be nonetheless an extra layer of security as the faithful will have to undergo airport-style security checks, just as they do now to attend the general audience in St. Peter's Square.
To participate in the major events of the Jubilee in Rome and to pass through the Holy Door of Saint Peter's Basilica, it is necessary to register. You can register through the page "Pilgrim Registration" on the official web site: http://www.im.va/content/gdm/en/partecipa/registrazione.html
As the site says: "You can register as an individual pilgrim or as the leader of a group (even families or small groups of friends should register as groups, regardless of how many people they include). Every group leader can register only one group for each event, and can make only one reservation for the passage through the Holy Door of Saint Peter's Basilica. Please note that registration for one of the events automatically includes access to the Holy Door as part of the event, at the times and in the ways that will be indicated to those registered." The route to the Holy Door starts at Castel Sant'Angelo, proceeds along Via della Conciliazione to Pius XII Square and finally St. Peter's Square.
All events are, of course, free. (JFL: watch out for people who, online or otherwise, try to "sell" you a ticket to a papal or Jubilee event)

Can retained main-verb houses into the 19th century). Periphrastic Verbs the center English interval will be characterised as one who witnessed the advance of a couple of periphrastic verb varieties to precise modality and point. we will first flip our recognition to the so known as quasi-modals, the set of periphrastic structures complementing the middle modals and happening in main-verb contexts (i. e. they've got usual demanding oppositions and ensue in non-finite forms): be going to, be capable of, need to. mostly, those 3 kinds bought a few modal meanings throughout the previous English or early center OLD AND center ENGLISH a hundred thirty English interval. This modal which means used to be consolidated throughout the heart English interval, in order that the periphrases will be followed in main-verb contexts while the center modals had built as particular auxiliaries. Be going to originates in previous English gangan 'go'. it always talked about circulate in a few course, however it may be through an infinitive or gerund of function, and in such contexts its that means comes just about the trendy English futural that means: ic geongo to cunnanne da ilea Ί am going to discover that out' (lit. Ί visit recognize the same'). This use used to be consolidated within the center English interval, and was once on hand to be used in these contexts requiring a primary verb to specific modal destiny that means. be capable of has been hired with a modal experience expressing skill from the time that it used to be borrowed from French. Examples of this use are available from the fourteenth century, e. g. feithful males, which schuln be additionally in a position to teche different males. even if have ... to was once predominantly possessive in outdated English, it received a modal feel of legal responsibility particularly early, cf. haefst pu seceras to engennel 'do you will have fields to plough/have to plough fields' (lit. 'have you fields to plough'). Even in early center English, examples are available the place the which means of legal responsibility predominates: early thirteenth-century pu a hest ... to witen hit 'you continually need to understand it'. This use was once consolidated throughout the center English interval, and made need to a primary candidate for expressing legal responsibility as well as needs to. one other modal periphrasis to be pointed out here's is/are/were to in its modal that means of obligation/destination. This improvement is identical to that of the quasi-modals: the seeds of modal that means are there in previous English and increase extra firmly in center English, cf. OEng. se pearfa ... pe mid pe is to cumene to engla gebeorscipe which has attainable meanings while translated, 'the terrible person who is with you to return to the ceremonial dinner of the angels/ who's to come back with you to the ceremonial dinner of the angels' (lit. 'the needy person who with you is to return to the angels' feast'); early MEng. ic wot alpat to cumen is Ί be aware of all that's to come'; past due MEng. he wist what he was once to do 'he knew what he was once to do'. Is/are/were to differs from the quasi-modals in a single vital recognize: it got here for use as a finite verb simply, just like the center modals. The innovative shape previous English doesn't have a completely grammaticalized aspectual distinction: revolutionary element was once (optionally) expressed via a sort of be by way of the current participle with -ende.

2 questions:
I am currently considering how it would be possible to deactivate Dizzy for messages and to make them appear again after MessagePop.
I suspect the command PlayerSet (P_DISABLE, 0); plays a big role. I also think it should be added to the messages.gs file in the message preferences. Hmm ... but with which command line?
Furthermore, I do not want the well-intentioned life announcement. Is it enough if I delete these lines from handlers.gs?
Code: Select all
// lifebar
lifeid = 2; // life tile
w = 55*PlayerGet(P_LIFE)/100;
h = 6;
HudDrawTile( lifeid, 152, 5, w, h, 0, 0, w, h, 0, 0 );
That's it for today.
Best regards

Belief still there: Broxham
Melbourne Victory is confident the club's 1-1 draw against Tianjin Teda is just the start of an Asian Champions League revival.
Melbourne Victory is confident the club's 1-1 draw against Tianjin Teda is just the start of an Asian Champions League revival.
Victory was able to come back from a goal down last week against last year's Chinese Super League runners-up in a fighting performance.
Midfielder Leigh Broxham said the result was good for morale.
"We take a lot of confidence out of that one. I think the boys knew we could do it," Broxham said.
"We came out and did well, I don't think they expected it from us."
Broxham also gave credit to caretaker coach, Mehmet Durakovic, who has worked hard with the players since taking over and made some adjustments to Victory's style of play.
"The first game he only had a couple of days to implement what he wanted. That was always going to be tough," Broxham said.
"We worked just physically and tactically for 2-3 weeks and it showed in the game, we finished off the game, everyone seemed quite fit and sharp."
With a return home match coming up against Tianjin Teda on Wednesday, Broxham has pin-pointed the next two games as keys in the ACL campaign.
"They are important for us, we take confidence from the performances we put in away from home."
"We know a bit more about them now, they'll know the same, it's only positive going into the next game."
