Georgia is gambling billions of dollars on optional toll lanes as the traffic relief tonic for metro Atlanta — opening more than 50 miles of them by 2018.
The plan is to create a 94-mile network of these "express lanes" by 2040, using as much as a quarter to a third of all the money designated for widening roads or improving intersections in the Atlanta region during those 25 years.
Whether it will pay off, however, depends on whether drivers embrace the concept of paying to avoid the traffic they're causing. The state has not yet set the toll range for the new lanes, but it will vary according to the amount of traffic in the lane to keep vehicle speeds flowing at 45 mph or greater. Early studies assumed a floor of 50 cents per trip and a ceiling of 90 cents per mile. So the price of a 10-mile trip on the express lane could vary between 50 cents and $9.
For most drivers, that could be a lot — as much as two gallons of gas at today's prices.But if the ever-increasing use of the I-85 HOT lanes is any indication, the state's gamble may pay off. Hundreds of thousands of drivers in Gwinnett County have become resigned to using the HOT lanes, and transportation planners believe the same will happen after an initial ramp-up period for the new toll lanes they're building now: I-75/575 in Cobb and Cherokee counties; I-75 in Henry and Clayton counties; and an extension of the HOT lanes on I-85 in Gwinnett.
'Death or tolling, it's the same process'
Most drivers will stop short of saying they actually like toll lanes, but since 2011, average weekday trips have more than tripled from about 7,000 to 23,000 on the I-85 HOT lanes.
"People go, 'There's actually a benefit to this. I might be mad about it, but I'll still use it,'" said Bert Brantley, deputy executive director of the State Road and Tollway Authority. "It's like the five stages of grief — denial, anger, eventually you get to acceptance. Death or tolling, it's the same process."
Even so, toll critics abound.
"It's just sort of like forcing people to do stuff they don't want to do," said Smyrna Mayor Max Bacon, whose city lies along the path of the Northwest Corridor toll lane project on I-75. "They'll just say this is the cost of doing things. But it is a hidden tax increase."
Pausing beside his car at a shopping center off Steve Reynolds Boulevard and I-85 in Duluth last week, Ron Fuchs said he refuses to drive in the HOT lane.
"I feel like it's an elitist thing for the wealthy people who can afford to use it," Fuchs said. "I feel like it should be an HOV lane, instead of people who just blow gas. I believe in economy and not wasting."
The I-85 HOT lane in Gwinnett was a sort of trial balloon for the state to test public reaction to a permanent toll lane. That project stumbled out of the gate when it opened in 2011, with many people incensed over the decision to convert an HOV lane to a toll lane. So few drivers were using it that the state had to drastically cut the rate during off-peak times to 1 cent per mile.
Now, though, drivers are choosing the HOT lane so often that the state hiked the price to travel the whole 16-mile stretch to a record-setting $11 one morning in April just to keep the traffic flowing. The average peak period fare in the morning (between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m.) is $3.60.
So popular is the lane that it's been getting bogged down with traffic more and more often. The state has even introduced incentives this year to lure toll customers out of the lane during its busiest times so it'll keep moving at the optimal 45 mph or greater speed. By shifting their commute to off-peak hours, telecommuting or using transit to free up traffic, Peach Pass users can now earn free toll credits.
Transportation officials are staking the region's future upon the I-85 HOT lane's success, and the success of similar projects in other cities.
Georgia lags behind other states on toll roads
Before the I-85 HOT lanes, Georgia had mostly shunned toll roads, while other states were building mile upon mile of them for 50 years. Back in the late 1950's, states like Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas began to levy tolls as a financing mechanism to pay for the construction of turnpikes.
In those states and several others, at least two generations of drivers grew up using toll roads.
Not so in Georgia.
This state adopted the strategy much later in 1993 when it used an across-the-board toll to finance Ga. 400. The toll booths were finally torn down last year.
But state transportation planners are using tolls for a entirely different purpose now, State Road and Tollway Authority Executive Director Chris Tomlinson said.
"What's happened now in the United States in general, and in Georgia in particular with the HOT lane, is looking at tolls not only for finance but for road management," Tomlinson said.
These toll lanes of the future are being billed as a reliable travel option for drivers — and notably not a panacea for traffic congestion — in a region where achieving a predictable trip time on any given day is a laughable notion.
Drivers will now have a fast track to bypass the traffic, when they're willing to pay for it.
Jill Goldberg, the recently appointed "toll ambassador" for Georgia Department of Transportation, puts it this way: "I like to think about it as a little bit like insurance. Only better than insurance, because you don't have to pay if you don't use it."
As Atlanta Regional Commission planner John Orr sees it, tolled lanes are really the only option for interstate relief in metro Atlanta.
"Even if we had the money, which we don't, we're not going to be able to add enough lanes to the freeway (to relieve traffic)," Orr said.
Any new lanes would fill up within a few years, as they have consistently done in Atlanta in years past, because you can't build your way out of the growth and traffic congestion with the limited financial resources available to the state, he said.
Optional toll lanes have become attractive for planners because at least a few extra lanes can be squeezed in, and the construction loans can be financed in part by toll revenues. Plus, transit-riders can travel in them for free, which in theory will attract more ridership on Xpress buses.
'I think this will help. I really do.'
At a Rotary Club meeting in Henry County Monday, local business people seemed to quickly warm to the idea of the I-75 South Metro Express lanes. Henry Dick, a sign manufacturer from McDonough, said he will use them "all the time," for work.
"Can you be done with them next month?" he quipped. "That's what I'm wondering."
Jeff Cooper, who lives and works in McDonough's Eagles Landing community, said he won't use the toll lanes because he doesn't have an interstate commute. But he hopes others will, particularly the beach-and-Disney-bound tourists headed south. As of late last year, the Peach Pass can also be used on toll roads in Florida (Sun Pass) and North Carolina (Quick Pass), and vice versa.
"I'm hoping it would get Florida people through without affecting the local people as much," Cooper said.
Brad Fawcett, of Griffin, said he uses the I-85 HOT lane regularly because he's always in a hurry to pick up and deliver parts around the city for his construction industry job. He's glad that toll lanes are coming to the south side of Atlanta.
"We've gotten behind on building roads because so many people have moved into the area," Fawcett said. "I don't know what the answer is, but I think this will help, I really do."
Time will tell. But in focus groups and public meetings, people seem more willing to accept the new toll lanes because they are just that - new — and not a conversion of an existing HOV lane like the I-85 HOT lane, said Tomlinson.
Even so, using a toll lane on a single stretch of highway is one thing. Using them on a network of toll lanes around metro Atlanta is another. Brian Gist, a lawyer for the Southern Environmental Law Center, which advocates for more transit and rail investment, said people may not react so well when multiple legs of their commute are tolled.
He thinks toll lanes should not be the region's primary strategy for commuting.
"Toll lanes are not an everyday option for everyone," Gist said. "We need a solution you can use irrespective of income on a regular basis."

InforCRM (formerly Saleslogix) Job Service Common Fixes
There are three issues with the Job Service I have seen frequently.
There are three issues with the Job Service I have seen frequently.
After installing Infor CRM 8.4 I noticed that the online help stopped working and generated a browser error. Infor is aware of this and published an article with instructions to correct this. KB 1962133 "The name of the Infor server that hosts Infor CRM Online help has changed. This will cause a 404 error when […]
When HTTP Error 401.2 -Unauthorized appears in your web browser
We had an issue with the Database Manager on our 8.3.6 Infor system where the Database Manager would start to open all of the tables but at the last table, it would hang and eventually crash the Administrator or the Architect. The tables would open correctly in SQL Management Studio so we felt certain the database was not corrupted.
When you are opening an InforCRM application before the login screen loads you see the Error "IsBrandingEnabled"
If you are building a group based on a date and using => for the date condition we are seeing issues on selecting the beginning date
In the new Office Profile setting that is introduced in version 8.3.6 there is a groups tab. Under that tab is a setting "Specify the maximum number of groups users can display". If this is set to zero it is supposed to display all groups but times out on the group load. Setting this to […]
When configuring SpeedSearch you typically share the SpeedSearch Directory and all the subdirectories are now shared and available for users.

After adding a custom bundle to Infor CRM (formerly Saleslogix) in the Application Architect two users were missing the Edit Option on a Manage Mail Options Form that was not affected by the new custom bundle, and one other user still had the Edit Option on the form. So the first thing we checked is the user's roles
In order to delete unused templates from the Write menu, it is necessary to delete these items in the Windows registry.
When you hit the test link it should test with the "The feed tested successfully" message. However, if it does not and does not change the Saleslogix Feed and instead returns Error 500 then you will need to modify the ENDPOINTURL in SQL Management Studio.
Domain Group Policy can overwrite the ability of some Infor CRM components to log on as a service.
After installing Xbar 1.3, Outlook 2010 did not have the Record to History icons in the toolbar ribbon. In Outlook, go to File, Options, Add-Ins and you will see Infor CRM Outlook Connecter listed in the Disabled Add-Ins.
When attempting to delete and attachment using the Infor CRM 8.2 Web Client, you may get an error that the "requested value 'Modified' was not found." This occurs when values for RemoteAttachments.Status in the underlying database are not correct.
We had not seen this error in the InforCRM Customer Portal until recently, and the befuddling aspect was the SLXClient attachment upload worked perfectly. The Application Architect setup was checked and IIS was setup and running with the WebDll user running the CustomerPortal application and web pool.
We were recently contacted by a client who had a user unable to log in to the Infor CRM web client. The user was logging in with Chrome on a Microsoft Surface tablet device. As it turns out, the Infor CRM 8.1 web client is not compatible with Chrome's touch screen drivers.
If users are not seeing the SLX Desktop Integration in Outlook after installing SLX Desktop Integration there are two troubleshooting steps that will need to be performed

Virginia Living Magazine
Salisbury Md was a great time.
It was great to all the Virginia teams getting a little press. I believed Cool smoke deserved it. I was disappointed that teams outside of the state were featured in the article. I was under the impression this was more about Virginia teams . Never the less it was a good article.

Gone are the days of sending your children to ski school and watching them cry after being sent down a small hill in a wedge, hoping that they'll learn to stop without falling. The National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) has reported that 85% of first time skiers and snowboarders will never return for a resort's second visit. The staggering statistic is something Snowshoe expects to change. The resort has hired Snow Operating, the developer of the trademarked Terrain Based Learning™ program, to design and create two new terrain-based teaching parks.
"The first time I put my own daughter into ski lessons (at a Resort to remain nameless), they pointed her down-hill, told her to 'make a slice of pizza', and let her go…she spent the whole day terrified that she'd lose control and slide off into the trees," explains Frank DeBerry, President and COO, Snowshoe. "With Terrain Based Learning™, we're going to change that."
The snow has been shaped to create gentle rolling terrain, which naturally controls the student's speed. The mini courses are natural progressions that are all stationed in order to provide the best and most fun learning environment.
"Terrain Based Learning™ is much more than just shaping snow. It's an entirely new teaching methodology compiled with a specially designed on-snow experience. It's a full cultural shift for a resort that focuses on removing the anxiety and fear around first-time skiing and boarding, and leaves the learner with the fun and excitement of snow-play," DeBerry explains. "It's why Snowshoe went out and hired the primary designer of the TBL™ program, to make sure we create the best learning playground for our guests."
"We have done years of research finding the key sensations that are memorable for first time skiers and boarders," states Joseph Hession, CEO, Snow Operating. "We design our features for the Terrain Based Learning™ to give high level sensations to beginner level guests. This coupled with a disciplined program designed for first time guests, creates proven results that lead to a higher return of beginner skiers and boarders."

America – I HATE YOU
Posted by musliminsuffer on May 11, 2009
In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
=== News Update ===
America – I HATE YOU.
Layla Anwar, An Arab Woman Blues
May 10, 2009
I hate everything you represent, everything you stand for, everything about you…EVERYTHING. I fucking hate you.
You completely destroyed my country, my home, my family, my relatives, my friends, you have completely ruined our lives with your greed, your apathy, your criminality, your hypocrisy, your evilness ……….I fucking hate you.
I FUCKING HATE YOU. HATE YOU with every fiber in my body, with every beat of my heart, with every breath I take….
Iraq's riches are being privatized…so your companies and those of the smelly once a month bathing Brits can enjoy their leisurely lives.
I still am not sure who is worse – the Jews of Israel or the Kurds of Iraq. Which Zionism is more lethal ?
Over 100'000 barrels of crude Iraqi oil are being given away by the Kurds to American, Norwegian and British companies. That amounts to a revenue of 5 Million dollars a day.
The Federal government of Baghdad, because this is what Al-Jazeera called it today, the Baghdad government as oppposed to the Kurdish government has agreed but the only thing it disagrees with – the names of the companies. It wanted a say in those hand picked companies, to please its Iranian masters.
Stealing our riches, stealing our lives, stealing our blood and living off it like some worm, like some parasite…I HATE YOU AMERICA.
The Kurdish Peshmergas, the ones you cried about being so oppressed, including your fucked up liberals and progressives of my ass…are waging a brutal war in Kirkuk and in Mosul, displacing hundreds of families….
The South is under total Iranian control, and deals are being made with your monsters of companies via the central Shiite government.
The Iraqi population is living in misery, fear, loss, destruction, neglect, poverty…while you are sucking on our blood, through the kurds and the shiites shits you have put into power…
Our families are torn apart, our lovers are torn apart, our neighborhoods are torn apart, we have become beggars, living off merciful handouts…
Merciful handouts that your so called "good will" people come to the rescue and try to help…assuaging the bit of conscience you have left. But you have no fucking conscience. You are just ego, you have embellished your acts with such denial, you are evil itself.
You ripped us of our dignity, us the proud Iraqis who would not bow to any human…for we carry history our shoulders, like a cross, like a burden, like a message…
Rows and rows of burned flesh, from your smart technology, your technology of death, fill hospitals…Fallujah, Mosul, Baghdad, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Palestine…
Rows of flesh, for your cannibalistic eyes and teeth…so you can dig your ugly teeth in more flesh…and orgasm at the sight…
Humanity ? What fucking Humanity ? You have no humanity, you have no soul, you have no fucking conscience…You are DEAD. A DEAD PEOPLE.
There is worse than physical death. There is a soul, moral death and you are fucking dead. You are nothing but armed skeletons on this earth…skeletons with tons of grease, flab, pulling your weight and your bellies that are never full, your barrels of bellies that look like endless holes that nothing can fill up…
You think you are so fucking sophisticated don't you ? You are fucking idiots with guns…even your so called intellectuals, I don't buy them for one cent…
Including your left, your anti-war shits, your liberals and the wanking Arabs that suck up to you like house niggers, I buy none of you for one cent…
Go ahead, kill as much as you want, burn, maim, tear down, build walls, displace as much as you want…
You are a worthless people and a worthless nation.

What Else Would Madame Defarge Knit? - book review
What Else Would Madame Defarge Knit?, edited by Heather Ordover and published by Cooperative Press, is the second of a unique series of knitting pattern books. All the pattern designers are fans of some work of classic literature. Here they have the opportunity to present patterns for clothing that might be worn by a favorite character, or some other item that relates to a favorite story.
What other knitting pattern book has its purchasers Tweeting that they started READING it right away? That's what makes this book unparalleled in the world of knitting. I sat down and read the essays cover to cover while letting my subconscious mull over which patterns I might want to knit. And you don't have to want to knit a particular pattern in order to enjoy the essay that goes with it.
Here's an example of the illustrations in this book. First, a drawing of the pattern introduces the essay. The artist, Shannon Sneedse, imagines the item in the context of the story—in this case, worn by Ahab in Moby Dick. Then, with the pattern, you can see a photograph of the finished item.
Inspiration to sweater: Moby Dick
Classic lit with the latest tech
What Else Would Madame Defarge Knit? [link to the Ravelry page] is available in both print and electronic formats (like all books from Cooperative Press). If you purchase it in print, you can get the PDF as well—but if you want to save some money, you can get the PDF only and put it on your Kindle, Nook, or smartphone, to keep it handy for knitting.
The PDF includes fully interactive navigation, including a Table of Contents with live links, a Pattern Index with live links, and a button on every page that returns you to the Table of Contents. Plus links to web pages for the recommended yarns, the Ravelry page for each pattern, YouTube videos for unusual techniques, and more.
The book is organized into three sections, with an introduction by Ordover for each.
- "Children Will Listen" contains patterns based on children's classics.
- "Ladies Glow" patterns are all inspired by strong heroines like Anne of Green Gables, Penelope of the Odyssey, and Jane Bennet.
- "Slip into the Dark Side" brings in the tragic, the evil, and the banned.
Each designer wrote their own essay to explain the inspiration for their pattern. That leads to quite a variation in length, and somewhat in quality. But if you were worried that these might be scholarly, dry dissertations, fear not! The essays are generally about why the designers found the works they chose interesting enough to base patterns on them. They're personal, and personable. Designer/essayists include Laura Ricketts, AnneLena Mattison, Meg Warren, Kate Atherley, Sheila January, Hunter Hammersen, Wendy McDonnell, and more.
The book contains 27 knitting patterns and one weaving pattern. The first book included some crochet, and future volumes may as well.
Another interesting tidbit about this series is that the designers are all being paid in royalties on the sale of the books—a real innovation in the knitting world, where designers have tended to be underpaid for their work. Other publishers are starting to follow Ordover's lead in this.
Types of patterns
Some types of projects you can knit from this book:
- Sweaters
- Shawls
- Socks
- Baby gifts
- Hats
- A cowl
- Mittens
- Bags
- A WOVEN pillow cover
- And even a lace hankie.
Books represented
Some of the classic works represented in this collection are:
- Little Women
- The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
- The Secret Garden
- Ivanhoe
- War and Peace
- Persuasion by Jane Austen
- Agatha Christie's Miss Marple mysteries
- Rosemary's Baby
"The Land of Counterpane" Blanket
Madame Defarge and the series she inspired
Who is Madame Defarge? She's the infamous antagonist from Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. She was always knitting... and it turned out she was coding names of enemies of the French Revolution into her knitting, so she could denounce them later.
Dickens didn't supply any details about what Defarge was knitting or exactly HOW she coded in those names. Heather Ordover wondered about this while she covered A Tale of Two Cities in her podcast, CraftLit... which led to the idea for the first book. Ordover designed Madame Defarge's Stole for that book and recruited 20 other designs, including the popular Jane's Ubiquitous Shawl (because Jane Eyre ALWAYS had her shawl).
In case you are wondering, this second book has no projects relating to A Tale of Two Cities... it's just that the Madame seems to be quite well-read.
Future volumes of this series, still in the works, include Defarge 3, Defarge Does Chaucer, a Sherlock Holmes volume, and Defarge Does Shakespeare. There were promotional goodies like extra patterns for those who pre-ordered book 2, and rumor has it the same kind of fun will ensue for future volumes, so it would be a good idea to join the mailing list to be notified of availability.

With just 100 days to go until Velothon Wales, the organisers have unveiled the exact routes of the two completely closed road distances, via a highly interactive and innovative route map.
The event, which is taking place on Sunday 14 June, will take up to 15,000 cyclists on an unforgettable, traffic-free journey out of Cardiff city centre and past some of South Wales' most iconic landmarks. From today, those taking part in the event will be able to prepare for the event both mentally and physically with a state-of-the-art, interactive route map.
The interactive map will guide riders through the route, helping them to get to grips with the two most significant climbs – the Tumble and Caerphilly Mountain. At every stage, the current gradient is illustrated at the bottom of the screen and updated as the distance increases.
With breath-taking drone footage of the route, historical facts, top tips on taking on certain parts of the route and climbing statistics, riders will be able to fully immerse themselves in the challenge that they are taking on in exactly 100 days' time.
The interactive map also contains images of the main iconic landmarks to look out for along the way.
Velothon Wales' event director Andrew Taylor said: "With only 100 days to go until Velothon Wales, we are well and truly on the countdown to what promises to be the biggest and most exciting cycling event that Wales has ever seen.
"With thousands of cyclists travelling from outside of Wales, many of whom have come from countries in mainland Europe and even further afield, the interactive map will provide riders with the opportunity to really familiarise themselves with the route in a truly engaging way. This will help them to not only mentally prepare for the challenge - it will also give them a feel for the incredible scenery and iconic landmarks they will experience along the way."
In addition to the two main routes, there will also be a UCI sanctioned 1.1 professional race taking place after the amateur event, which will see many of the world's best riders taking on the very same route. Two loops of The Tumble and three of Caerphilly Mountain will take the pro race route up to 194km.
Welsh Cycling's chief executive officer, Anne Adams-King said: "With 100 days to go until Velothon Wales, we are excited to welcome thousands of cyclists to Wales.
The route passes by some of Wales' most famous landmarks, and also provides a unique challenge for participants, with the famous climbs of The Tumble and Caerphilly mountain. We hope the people of Wales will be inspired to get on their bikes and also support those taking on the challenge of Velothon Wales."
There are still a number of charity places available for those who want to sign up and take part, including Gold Charities Save the Children and Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research. To see the full list of partner charities, please click here.
Velothon Wales is also offering cash bursaries to clubs who can provide 5 or more volunteers for the event.

stop spreading prejudice (its as bad as hatred itself) from generation to generation country to country and all sorts
stop shaming people when they don't have a bone of hatred for "black people"
stop acting like your fighting on my behalf and spurring nonsense in the name of black activism
stop making it awkward for the real progressive black people to gel with white people
if you wanna take away white privilege you gotta take away black privilege too
hating someone for culture appropriation is the dumbest thing in the world. just cos it has a name doesn't mean its a serious/big deal. every culture does it. Black face isnt offensive unless the person is doing it to mock you.
stop using my existence to put families in the deep end. if somebody hate you and only you. don't spin it to make it look like he hates "US" so that he loses his job which his family my be relying on
its ok for white people to be curious about black people. stop linking innocent curiosity to slavery. Just cos they touch your hair doesn't mean its racist. Its annoying but not racist. stop making it awkward.
stop slandering people cos of things you hear out of context or out of hearsay
if we are gonna use nigger let white ppl use it too. words are nothing but tools for expression.English is a living language which means that words can always change. if theres no hatred in the use why are you holding on to prejudice. People arnt offended by words, we're are offended by the attempt

How do I reset the Roland Gaia SH-01 Synthesizer?
Following the SH-201, Roland continues its SH-series with the Gaia SH-01. The Gaia is an analog modeling synthesizer that retains the basic traits of previous SH-series synths: hands-on tweaking, user-friendly layout and compact design. It's a light-weighted synthesizer that can also run on batteries. The synthesis architecture is simple and directly accessible via the front panel controls. The GAIA SH-01 uses a trio of virtual analog engines — each with its own dedicated oscillator, filter, amplifier, envelope, and LFO — to conjure massive tones that would make you swear you're playing a vintage synth. If you don't like programming synths via obscure two-line displays and arcane menu systems, the Roland Gaia SH01 could be just what you're looking for.
According to several user reviews, they have praised a Roland Gaia SH-01 for the Three-tone structure is simple, yet powerful; No LCD screen because there are no menus; Can run on batteries; Made for hands-on playability with simple and intuitive patch creation; Sixty-four notes of polyphony. Also, some users have complained it for the Despite all that polyphony, only multitimbral via a General MIDI synth; some of the presets don't exploit its potential; Headphones cut the master outs.Image source: kosmic.com.au
Factory Reset:
To restoring the factory settings on Roland Gaia SH-01, first power on while simultaneously holding the PRESET PATCH button and the USER PATCH button until the TAP TEMPO button goes out. And then, press the WRITE button to start the Factory Reset operation. The NUMBER buttons will light sequentially starting with (1); when the NUMBER (8) button lights, the operation has been completed.
Warning! When you execute "Factory Reset", all data that you've created and saved in the GAIA SH-01's internal memory will be lost. Be sure you want to erase the memory and return the GAIA SH-01 to its factory default state before continuing with this procedure. Hopefully the article of "How do I reset the Roland Gaia SH-01 Synthesizer?" can help you.

Red, White and Blue
This post was written in partnership with Old Navy
I can't believe another fourth of July is right around the corner! The 4th has always been one of my favorite holidays because it usually involves plenty of time in the sun with family and friends. This year we'll be heading over to my parent's house for an afternoon BBQ and swimming. Since our move, it's been so nice to be closer to family and friend. Typically our celebrations are on the casual side so dress code usually involves a bathing suit and shorts. This year I took advantage of the Old Navy sale to pick up a few new pieces for the occasion. I always find the cutest (at the best prices) pieces when I shop there!
What are your 4th of July plans?

Ryzom: Behind the Scenes #1
Click here to download the magazine in PDF format
Welcome to the first edition of 'Behind the Scenes'!
Let's dive into the world of codes and graphic design. A world where translators and animators work hard for your pleasure. A world with lorists and CSRs to help with important questions and where marketers find more homins to join your next boss hunt or OP war. We are working hard to make Atys even more interesting for you, day-by-day.
This blog is to give our passion a voice and bring it to our most important target: you.
We will start with the next upcoming thing to explore: Guild Islands.
Interview with Ulukyn
Hello Ulukyn. First of all, please tell us how long you have been a member of the Ryzom team?
Ulukyn: I joined the Ryzom team just before Winchgate reopened the servers after the closure by Gameforge. I had already worked with the NeL (Ryzom's 3D engine) to make a mini-game based on Ryzom data which allowed players to create a character and to travel in the map.
Let's focus on Guild Islands. Can you explain to us what it is about?
Ulukyn: Guild Islands are a simple idea, to have a space large enough to allow a guild to install its home sweet home. We talk about island even if, in fact, most of the time, it is not a place surrounded by water. New creatures, NPCs and buildings will be added through patches and will provide various services. Guild Islands are made with the PocketWorld (PoWo) engine, using the Scenographic Editor for scenery, which gives a guild the complete freedom to customize its island.
What was the biggest problem during the development?
Ulukyn: The PoWo system, that allows us to create instanced area (where each groups of players can be in the same place but in a different environment) was initially intended for free access. We had to rebuild it to make it more flexible. For example, being able to open a PoWo to one player, a team or even to a whole guild as in the Guild Islands. We went even further, because a Guild Island can be open at the same time, to a guild but also to others players. The other challenge was to manage an island's creatures. They had to be added first of all when a player enters the island and then after each server reboot. We used a method that we had previously added to test dynamic events. In the end, to save as much time as possible, we try to create very flexible, generic systems, we test them and use them in as many projects as possible. This way we can save time and do very nice things with few resources. smiles
Are there any features planned for future, and if yes, which ones?
Ulukyn: We would like to give access to Guild Halls and some guild inventory extensions, also to add some guild missions and maybe, some volunteer players will learn how to use ARK, to create activities in Guild Islands. However, most of the NPCs and services that are already available, will remain in the social centres of the game, i.e. the Capitals and villages.
Thank you very much Ulukyn, I can't wait to get my own island!
Let's go over to the next topic. The new boss on Silan: Yubokin.
This boss was made by Teanwen and Inky (thanks a lot for scripting!). However we want to take a look at the graphic design now. Aileya worked for the past few weeks on the shape and texture of the new yubo boss.
Interview with Aileya
Hello Aileya! Let's start by talking about yourself. When did you start playing Ryzom?
Aileya: Hey there! That's difficult to date. I guess something around 2004 or 2005. Today I am not playing Ryzom anymore as much I once used to, but it surely is still in my heart and always will be.
And when did you join the Ryzom team?
Aileya: I first joined the Ryzom Team in 2009 as a supporter and later as member of the graphics team in 2013.
When you started to work on Yubokin, did you have a clear idea of what you wanted to do?
Aileya: Of course. I usually have a clear vision what I am going to do, and even if not, I am playing around with uncertain ideas or "visions" until I reach a point, where I guess it might fit well enough so that I can build on it.
What kind of sources did you use for inspiration?
Aileya: I always have a big repertoire behind me, which I can lean on to to find my own inspiration. This is an endless collection of sources: eg. from movies, artworks, TV adverts, my earlier works, my mind, or even just Google research. The most important, for the new boss Yubokin, was to find a good balance between the original Yubo, its "further evolution" and to stay within a real frame of reference. After all the Yubo is still a herbivore, even when it is only digital. For this project I have had more than 30 references in use.
What were the biggest problems you faced during the creation?
Aileya: The biggest problems, heh....where to start?! I guess, to keep it short, was the technical parts. I had to rebuild a lot of the pre-existing material to "reanimate" the Yubo in its new appearance, so it is tinkering around until we reach what we have today. That took me a lot of head-scratching and coffee. Currently, as we are doing this interview, I am still not completely finished with the new boss. A lot of ideas have been dropped already, but I hope that the players will like it when it is finished.
You did a great job, Yubokin looks fantastic!
Thank you Aileya for this interesting look into your work.
We have some more to show you, don't worry! Let's go on with general improvements.
Interview with Riasan
Hello Riasan, please tell us something about yourself first. When did you first start playing Ryzom?
Riasan: Since the open beta in 2004.
How long have you been a member of the Ryzom Team?
Riasan: I joined the team in December 2014.
What kind of improvements are you working on?
Riasan: I have renewed several ark scripts for the Marauders. It was a lot of background work, like bug fixing, so not much to see for the players, but it's also really important work. ARK v4 is running faster than the old version and also offers more possibilities for us to implement things faster and in a better way.
What problems did you face?
Riasan: There were some general problems. For example the source-code is old and it wasn't considered that some functions would need to be changed or extended later on. I had to use the "trial-and-error" method. It takes a lot of time to fix small things, but it's the only way to do it. Also, there is no documentation, so I have to relearn everything. Furthermore, there are no good tools, especially for the User Interface (UI). There is no real-time editor for it, so I have to fix the code itself with a text editor. Everytime I change something, I need to relaunch the game to see the result. It is a time-consuming process, but it's worth it. Also many of the source files are lost. They are compromised in the server data. The client can extract the data, but it is very difficult for us to read it (to extract work files from it), which makes it much more complicated, if we want to change or add something.
Will there be more improvements in future?
Riasan: Yes, of course! Besides me, also Ulukyn, Kervala and Nimetu and now Inky are constantly working on improvements, bug and exploit fixes, as well as bringing the code up-to-date.
Thanks for your time Riasan, seems like you have a lot to do!
Next topic. What's going on in the event team?
There are a lot of members in the event team. Too many to interview each one of them today. We picked two members to give you a small insight into this team. A very new member, Drecyan, and another member that returned after a long break, Zeligmane.
Interview with Drecyan
Hello Drecyan, let's talk about yourself first. When did you start playing Ryzom?
Drecyan: I started Ryzom - I mean, Saga of Ryzom! - in January 2005, a few months after its release. I quickly invested a lot of time and energy into it, until the servers were closed. I have returned several times since the reopening, mainly in 2013 and 2016, and more recently in the summer of 2018.
And when did you join the team?
Drecyan: I joined the Ryzom team at the beginning of January 2019.
So you are a new member. Welcome again at this point! What experiences have you had so far? Have you already played an event?
Drecyan: I have had the opportunity to participate in two events: a meeting of the Matis Court and another in connection with the construction of towers in Thesos. I liked that a lot.
Will you play more events in future?
Drecyan: For now I am still learning the ropes of the trade, so to speak, There is so much to learn, Ryzom is such a rich world from a role-play point of view. So my first objective is to improve myself in order to "do things right".
Thanks for your time Drecyan and welcome into the team!
Interview with Zeligmane
Hello Zeligmane, can you please tell us first a little bit about yourself. When did you start playing Ryzom?
Zeligmane: Well... I tried Silan like a week before 1st Ryzom shutdown. Something like... 2008?
And when did you join the ryzom team?
Zeligmane: I'm trying to find back the date. Maybe 2010.
Can you remember the reasons for joining the team?
Zeligmane: Yes, it was during an event where my character was deeply involved (and a bit in conflict with npc). I started to communicate with event team and joined shortly after. I also had been role-playing (tabletop, including game master) for around a decade at that time.
You also left the team, right? When was that and what was the reason for it?
Zeligmane: I left around 2013 for Real Life reasons : I failed a university year pretty badly and I had to focus on my studies. Afterwards, I've kept finding some university challenges until this winter, and I think I'm now done with studying (after ~11 years :p)
Good things need time! How long have you been back this time?
Zeligmane: A very long time... almost 15 days.
Welcome back at this point! What experiences have you had since you returned?
Zeligmane: I've not been in-game yet, outside re-learning event commands. I'm revisiting every point of Ryzom history since I've left, and learning the upcoming events. I'm getting more at ease with the new, so I hope to start playing during events soon.
Sounds like you have much to do. So your plans for your future in the event team is to play regularly events?
Zeligmane: Play events, participate in writing and maybe managing a community like I used to. Yes, first of all, being part of events again.
Then I'm sure we can expect great things from you. Thank you very much for your time and this small insight in your story.
Zeligmane: You're welcome and I'll do my best to give you the "great" things you are expecting of me :)
What a nice talk with you. Thanks Zeligmane and welcome back!
Let's have a small look into the lore team.
Interview with Namcha
Hello Namcha, let's start to talk about your own history. When did you start playing Ryzom?
Namcha: I started the game in 2012, it was my first long experience with mmorpg, after having played on several solo rpg games from ©Bioware's suites and online hack'n'slash.
When did you join the lore team?
Namcha: I joined Lore Team (LT) in 2016 and now also Game Design Team in 2018.
I see that you chose a Tryker as a toon, is it relevant to your personality?
Namcha: It's funny because once we know the game well, we tend to judge Real Life people by their Trykerness, Fyrosness,Matisness etc... we could imagine a Ryzom 4D personality diagram ^^ As for "Namcha" there is no roleplay, it's true my choice wasn't random. I hesitated with a Zoraï, but finally I opted for believing I still have a young mind despite my fortyish body, inside which ideas bounce like ping-pong balls. Also, I didn't want to be seen like a teacher or dogmatic person. In that way I preferred a mere Tryker.
I am wondering how the lore team works. Are you using papers to share your ideas? Maybe you can explain to us how the lore team works in general?
Namcha: Yes, like many other teams we have this set of 3 tools than consist of spaces with documents and PADs (cloud.ryzom.com), a private chat (chat.ryzom.com), and a board with tasks to do (board.ryzom.com) This is for internal work; lorists are also dispatched among other teams' tools (events, translations...) and project-specific tools to interact with others volunteers.
Current team is composed of 5 Lorists + Tamarea as leader. Our internal decision process is mostly collegial, and we seek for unanimity support on a solution rather than voting a choice.
We can separate our missions into 3 categories :
- help and validation : helping other teams and players to create content compliant with Lore.
- writing stories : role-play scenarios for the event team to play. Also writing meta-storyline or just complicated dialog like the tells of a kitins expert.
- documenting : defining the background of Ryzom, meaning the explanation of all things. Ryzom is neither fantasy nor space opera but hard SF kind of story.
pretending to search for a solution for a lore dilemma
Being a Lorist is something more than just a documentation keeper. It's about being able to write new ideas compliant with the existing. It's about being able to fill the holes in the existing. It's about understanding the "spirit" of the background. This cannot be achieved by only reading documents, but kind of "oral" -- if typed chatting can be equated to oral transmission -- during long discussions on concepts and stories which compose the background, repeated times. oh ! ... It's also important having played the game a significant number of hours, in my opinion :)
This is for pure Lore but then a Lorist has to work with other teams too ! This mean understanding their needs, their wishes, their creativity. Finding compromises, making suggestions, hearing suggestions, avoiding causing frustrations. Explaining without revealing !
Are you still following Nevrax Lore? (If not, who is responsible for the development now?)
Namcha: First I'd like to change this concept that we (LT) have a "Ryzom bible", that would be a reference we jealously keep. There are indeed some docs, tidied on a shelf, and it's very incomplete.Lore is rather the sum of what people know. We in the LT count for a lot but also other teams, players... Documentation is a tool for not forgetting and to help transmission. But documents becomes a bit tasteless once you've experienced conversations with expert Lorists. Anyway each team writes its own documents, we are no exception. About past documents, yes, most things described in them are kept.
Are we following it ? No, because what was planned is neither feasible nor desirable at the moment.
People have to realize that the Lore Team is not the same since the game was launched. There even were some years with no Lore Team. We are achieving a good description of the Ryzom background. We could even call it a "modelling". This knowledge will allow consistency for replying on many points. We are also responsible for writing the storyline.
some bark climbing in lakes, it helps to empty my mind
Where are we on the Lore timeline right now?
Namcha: In a way, we navigate by sight ! A storyline has just been proposed to event team and should last the next two years. We still have a good idea of what's next. But the future does not depend only on us, other teams have also their own initiatives about the game evolution. It's also about what is feasible or not, at a given time, and it seems possibilities are increasing. Player's choices influence the course too.
Can you give us any hints about the future?
Namcha: Some of internal questions we had about the future is what would be the consequences of the rise of Marauders on other civilisations ? what would be the reactions from Powers ? what would the changes be in Ranger organisation ? Another hint is that people understood that Atys planet is much bigger than current maps. We are often asked what it is like outside the New Lands ? What are the Old Lands ? What are the other parts of the Atys planet ? But for a clearer schedule, it's in the hand of the Event Team !
hard life establishing communication with cutes, primitives know lore secrets
That was a very interesting look into the Lore Team. Thanks a lot Namcha!
Last but not least: Dynamic Events.
Interview with Daemonixus
Hello Daemonixus. How long have you played Ryzom?
Daemonixus: Since the open beta in 2004.
And when did you joined the Ryzom Team?
Daemonixus: I signed the NDA on May 19, 2016.
Can you tell us more about your personal experience with Ryzom?
Daemonixus: Ryzom is still for me a unique MMO, I can't find anywhere else such a living fauna, such successful seasonal changes. It's the only MMO where, even more than ten years after, I stop to look at the scenery or pay attention to creatures living their own lives. In other words, for me immersion is the most important thing. I'm still playing Ryzom and I'm happy to be able to contribute to it's evolution.
You are working on "Dynamic Events". What is that?
Daemonixus: A Dynamic Event (DE) is a classic event that is started automatically. So it is not the players or an animator who launch it. Have a look at Atys' map, classic missions represent the NPC's demands that players can satisfy if they wish. Now, let's imagine the same Atys' map, but, this time, it will be the NPCs who will indicate their demands, and this, during a given time. Example, a barman may have an important order to provide to a NPC in a short time. The players will have to help to do a part of this order. So you will have to look regularly at a kind of map - You can see an old version below - to know what is ongoing on the Bark.
There are also kitin invasion type DE, which will also be launched automatically, at any time. On the other hand, only players will be able to close them, fighting against the invasion. I must confess, that reboot of the server will do the same, but it's less amusing. These invasions will be able to adapt themselves to the number of players in the event.
How long are you working on this project now?
Daemonixus: Around two years. I started by wanting to create kitin invasion that would be totally automatic in their operation. During development of this first version of DE, I realized that the principle could also be suitable for classic missions. So I started again almost from the beginning to create the 2.0 version of DE, to have a joint part of the coding. At a more advanced stage, I wanted to duplicate the coding from my first mission, the Fairhaven federal merchant, to create another one, the Pyr Corporal. In hindsight, I saw that too much coding dedicated to DE management was still mixed with the coding for the mission itself. That was making DE duplication more difficult. So, I create the 3.0 version, the actual version, that looks like a little framework where the coding for DE management is really different from the coding of the DE themselves, which makes them more readable. That is the background.
What were the biggest problems you had during development?
Daemonixus: One and only problem, even before DE, understanding ARK smiles and all that is around it, and the only way to progress is to make mistakes, so I have made a lot... And I have still things to discover. I also had to choose the place of the NPCs that will be used because they are not all adapted to DE. So you have to look for the good NPCs and test each DE with each NPC.
For the rest, it's not a problem at all, but a facet I didn't know in events: the steps back and forth between the first tests and remarks, and the DE I proposed. Remarks that lead to changes, followed by new proposals and new tests.
But the result is here, they are much better integrated to game than the first versions I imagined, the team work is essential.
When will dynamic events be ready for Atys?
Daemonixus: 2019, finally! smiles
Have you already planned future updates? If yes, which ones?
Daemonixus: In my jargon, I call them multiDE. It will be more basic DE than the FH federal merchant or the Pyr Corporal. But they will each propose several dynamic missions, giving players, on a regular basis, various DE. Forward, I would like to create other DE with animated NPCs as in Fairhaven or Pyr. Of course, you have to be here just in the beginning to see the entire animated sequence, but for the ones present, it gives a little magic touch. I have other projects in mind, but above all, I would like to have feedback from the players, to know what they think about DE, it's the most important.
Thank you Daemonixus! It seems like a really nice project and I can't wait to see it live!
We hope you enjoyed this journey. Besides the projects named here, there are many more projects to show you! Next time - among other things - we will take a look in the translation and the support teams, as well as the game design and marketing teams and more projects for you to explore!
So stay tuned for the next edition of 'Behind the Scenes', coming JA 2603 (mid of april).
See you next Time! Ryzom Team

BitFenix's first entry in the PC enclosure business was a tad garish, but I've gotta say, the company's new Survivor case looks downright slick. And internally, it resembles the Corsair 600T we reviewed last month, with cable routing holes, a bottom-mounted PSU, and two modular, sideways-mounted hard drive cages (with what appear to be to be tool-less trays).
The Survivor also has dual USB 3.0 ports at the top, room for up to two 200-mm fans or three 120-mm fans, and mercifully, a button to disable the LEDs behind the glowing logo. BitFenix has also thrown in some neat additions for the LAN party crowd, including a slide-out handle at the top and a back-panel security system that purportedly locks down peripheral cables.
Look for the Survivor on store shelves in mid-November. There will be two variants: the full-blown Survivor, priced at $109, and the Survivor Core, which will sell for $89 and come without USB 3.0, LED fans, or the cable-locking scheme.

Cricket World Cup: Pakistan's embodiment of cricketing tragedy Wahab Riaz undone by Australia and luckAnalysis By Geoff Lemon in Taunton
As soon as the catch goes down, you think: of course that catch went down. It's simple enough, travelling fast but straight at slip. Asif Ali gets his hands up late. When the ball bursts through his fingers to deflect for four, you think: of course it went for four.
Of course it did, because Wahab Riaz is bowling. This is what happens to Wahab Riaz. In their World Cup match at Taunton on Wednesday, Australia's captain has monstered Pakistan. Aaron Finch is middling everything, until he edges this one. Wahab gives the delivery his all and draws the mistake, creates the opening to get Pakistan back into the game. In what world would his team follow him through it?
Wahab is a bowler who embodies tragedy. Not in the news bulletin sense but the literary sense: the figure battling against fate, the hero doomed to wander the wilderness. When he strives, his face gets dark with blood and thunder. His run-up is a heave that takes his every atom's worth of energy. He hits the crease like a ship crashing against the shore. He wrecks himself with each delivery and at times he muscles the ball beyond 150 kilometres per hour.
He does this on the witheringly hot flat decks of Dubai, or in one-day games where batsmen line up everything for a battering. Occasionally, his efforts have won a match for Pakistan. Most of the time — or this is how it seems — they end with catches going down, or stumps flying from a no-ball, or some other intervention that turns the scene against him just when it should be his.
Mostly, Wahab Riaz seems tired. Beyond tired, the centre of a deep weariness. His face rumples and creases like the leather of a battered briefcase; the worn face of a man who has witnessed too many things. Let's not go wild on symbolism — he's from comfortable stock, the son of a Lahore businessman. But sometimes, when the catch goes down, when the effort is for nothing, his visage seems to convey a more rugged part of Pakistan: a trek across some desolate plain, a freezing night on the Hindu Kush.
After the drop, his captain Sarfraz Ahmed comes to comfort him. A literal arm around him, a long chat as Sarfraz walks to the other end and Wahab walks towards third man. The captain exhorting his bowler to keep striving.
Wahab especially has this kind of luck against Australia. The way he bowled and batted in the Brisbane Test of 2016 where Pakistan almost pulled off the biggest run chase in history — but didn't. His famous duel with Shane Watson in the 2015 World Cup, where Wahab bowled what was statistically both the shortest and the fastest spell in the tournament from anyone who wasn't Mitchell Starc.
And of course Wahab had a catch dropped that day, and ended wicketless. Of course his spell of brilliant aggression ended with a look-away cut shot from Glenn Maxwell for four and a flat pulled six from Watson. Of course it was another spell where he broke his body only for teammates to break his heart.
Thus the familiarity in this last match at Taunton: the edge, the drop, the parried four, and an over that should have nailed the opposing captain instead becomes one conceding 11.
Later, when David Warner toe-ends to third man, Asif is the fielder again, and the ball takes a slow looping arc that could not be better designed for catching. It plops onto the ground regardless. Wahab kicks at the air and yells. This time Shoaib Malik walks him back to his mark consoling him.
In these moments Wahab Riaz is Sysiphus, heaving a boulder to the summit only to watch it roll back down. He is celebrated and applauded for the efforts, for his feats, for the close-run things, but these are plaudits that come at a steep cost. Remove the stone of shame, attach the stone of triumph.
There is an inherent tragedy to Mohammad Amir, too. The other left-armer. The artistry of his bowling, the opening spell that curves, dips, skims. Foxing and bewitching batsmen. Often those spells don't return wickets. Perhaps they're too good. Later, with the ball softer and the movement gone, the batsmen who've survived make up lost ground.
But Amir is the stage version of tragedy, all pretty angles and the youthful undoing of a flawed protagonist. Wahab is the modernised cinema remake, thick with gristle and viscera.
In Taunton, Amir makes up the wickets that have gone begging. Wahab, when he gets a chance, takes a catch for Amir. Then Wahab braces himself against the stone once more, rallying for another spell, drawing some consolation with a tail-end nick behind. His captain can now offer catches as well as cuddles.
Pakistan have done brilliantly to haul Australia back from a score that could have been close to 400, bowling them out for 307 instead. It's steep but can be chased. All it will take is some application and calm from the batsmen to back up the work from their bowlers.
A couple of hours later, Wahab is out there in the middle batting at number 9, getting battered with bouncers from Patrick Cummins and Starc. The teammates who shelled his catches are all sitting back in the shed having another slice of lemon cake. (Which is excellent, as it happens.)
Wahab won't go away. His best one-day score is 59. He batters 45 on this occasion, lining up three clean sixes in between being smashed on the gloves, smashed on the arm, swaying out of the way of deliveries and then giving Starc a casual jut of the jaw to ask what the big deal was. He is a fast bowler and understands both ends of the transaction.
So when he finally nicks a ball, and the next two wickets follow, he has got Pakistan close enough to underline how much his colleagues didn't do. A few more runs, a couple of catches, and this game would have been his. Instead, it is the previous World Cup again. He has strived, he has impressed, he has fallen short. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.
Wahab Riaz is tired. He was born tired and he will always be tired. He bowls with his thinning hair wisping wildly about his head, with sweat dampening the crags of his face, with the weariness seeping from his bones. He bowls like a man who has just spent 36 hours in an airport. He places his hands to the rock, rolling through this life again and again.
With nothing but a rock and a mountain, goes the formulation, the struggle towards the summit is in itself enough to fill a man's heart. You could never accuse Wahab of being happy. But his heart is somehow full enough to turn up for the next game. To run in for the next spell. His heart is full enough to break it anew each time.

Something else I've decided to do is to separate Bug and Doodles for all of their school subjects, starting this upcoming school year. In the past, we've done Bible, history, geography, and read-alouds together. While we've had some good discussions, all too often one child would interrupt the other, which would cause a quarrel. Or one child (usually Bug) would want me to read another chapter, but the other (typically Doodles) child wouldn't, which also turned into an arguement between the two of them. While I realize this will require more work from me, I feel that it is worth it. It also seems to me that each of my children needs something they can call their "own." So, we will try this and see how it goes and if it will work for our family. And, truly, I did have concerns about placing Bug in Sonlight's next core at his age. I feel he is too young for Core F, but it will be a great fit for Doodles. So, Doodles will be using Sonlight Core F, and Bug will be using this: Further Up and Further In, which is a unit study based on The Chronicles of Narnia series. Bug and I flipped through the teacher's manual last night, and he is already excited about some of the projects that he will be doing.
Baby Girl will continue with her interest-led learning. Currently she is especially interested in singing her ABC's, counting to fifteen (although she skips a few numbers), and singing her current favorites "The Wheels on the Bus," "If You're Happy and You Know It," and "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes." The great thing is that she will sometimes point to her body parts as she sings...YES!!! She has also used her little potty a few times, so that is cause for celebration. Another awesome thing she did was to play with me in her castle tent for over an hour the other day! We had lots of fun singing, tickling, and making silly noises. She made a lot of eye contact with me that day, so it was very exciting! She is also interested in hula hoops now, as you can see below. We pray that she continues doing well, and that hopefully she is moving past some of the issues that she has been struggling with.

Never Trust A Fart: Crohn's Disease
Growing Up Sick.
Adolescents is a time of change that everybody goes through. If you were a boy, typically, your voice gets deeper, your peach fuzz turns into a crustache with shitty sideburns, your face looks like a smashed up bag of bagel pizza bites, and last but not least - uncontrollable boners. Needless to say a lot of shit happens and well, for me, I mean that literally. I was diagnosed with Crohn's when I was 14, I had just started my freshman year of high school and I was really sick but I hid it from everyone.
Let's back up though, it's hard to tell my story without first explaining that I am twin and have been for 28 kick-ass years. My brother, Devin, was diagnosed with Crohn's 14 months prior to when I was diagnosed. I watched him get sick first before it started happening to me, it was really scary and it was the first time in our lives where he was experiencing something different from me. We would spend long days making trips to the hospital where I would watch him get poked and prodded and drained of blood. Not being a fan of needles, I sat out from watching those parts. Through this whole process, which I would assume must have been traumatizing for him, led to his diagnosis and eventual road to becoming a healthy teenage kid again. I wont speak much on his personal experience, however, for me, at this point, it was just the begging. It started slow but in the exact same way it happened to my brother. A few more visits to the washroom here, a little weight loss there, I told myself "I am not getting sick, I'll get over this." I was wrong.
Now to understand Crohn's you've got to know that it affects people in many various ways, for me, when I got really sick, the inflammation of the disease happened in my bowel, aka I had to take a crap every 3 hours at minimum and dealt with a lot of abdominal pain. Sometimes to the point of not being able to stand up straight. I lost all of my energy, a lot of weight and with the constant toilet sitting and horrible pain, I hid as much of it as possible from my friends, my family and my brother. I was in complete denial and scarred all at the same time. It wasn't until blood started to come into the picture that things started to become real for me, I knew that you could only bleed out of your ass for so long before eventually you would probably die. So, I finally conceded to how sick I was and brought it up to my parents. Things started to happen pretty quickly from there. I got the same poking, prodding and blood draining as my brother but just in a much shorter period of time. The doctors were fairly certain that I had the same condition as my brother, however, like everything in health care, they needed to be sure. Skip forward about 1.5 months after I started the serious rounds of testing and we land at the hospital where I probably had some sort of camera device stuffed up my butt, thankfully I was heavily doped up for all of those. They were doing a full lower gastrointestinal scope to help determine how bad the damage was from my on going neglect. They also needed to take several biopsies for soft tissue testing to make sure I didn't have anything else lurking around. It was during this procedure that things went from bad to worse for me, my bowel was so inflamed and damaged that when they tried to compete the biopsy then ended up going straight through the wall of my bowel, creating a not so ideal hole. So, they brought me out from the procedure and quickly woke me up from fog I was in just to let me know that I needed emergency surgery and was heading straight into pre-op to fix the hole they made. The 25 minutes between waking up and be put under general anesthetic seemed like an eternity, for the first time in my life I contemplated my own mortality and realized that my parents and family, even though supportive and loving, couldn't do anything to help me fight this battle happening inside my body.
Luckily the surgery went smoothly, although the doctor reluctantly shared the news afterwards that the hole had healed over by the time they'd gone back in to fix it, making the surgery ultimately unnecessary. Regardless, there I was, in the IWK Children's hospital on one of the top floors recovering. My mother spent every moment through the following days with me, she even slept in the chair next to my bed every night I was there, I remember some of my first memories from after the surgery being of her. They had me on a lot of morphine but even that wasn't dulling the discomfort, I couldn't really move and didn't really want to. Notably on the third evening I was in the hospital Halifax was hit by Hurricane Jaun and I had a front row seat to all of the action. The following days and weeks after I felt much the same as the as the ravaged city around me. The storm was over but there was one hell of a mess to clean up.
I was officially diagnosed with Crohn's by the time I left the hospital and the doctors didn't waste any time starting treatment. Through a combination of anti-inflammitory medication, which I would end up staying on in high doses for many years, and steroids. I was able to start the recovery journey of living with Crohn's. I was back in school about 3 weeks after the surgery but didn't really speak to anyone about my stay in the hospital or newly diagnosed condition, like the sickness before, I hid it away from people. That didn't really change until I was in my 20's, I didn't want to be looked at as being different. I was really lucky to have my brother through all of this, although we never spoke of our conditions in length or often, he was a strong support system while trying to find a sense of normalcy. The doctors gave me three fairly strong guide lines to having the most success with keeping my flair ups/inflammation minimized. 1.) Don't smoke, it's known to be a leading cause of inflammation. 2.) Don't drink sugary - caffeinated drinks, in fact processed sugars can reek havoc on most people in one way or another. 3.) Avoid excessive stress when possible. The rest of it was really up to me to figure out. Things like diet and exercise were definitely important, however, when your a kid that eats cereal most meals, candy as much as possible and really lacks the sense of a true balanced diet, changing your eating habits is no small task. The exercise side of things to me was easy, I wasn't a sports kid but I loved skateboarding and knew that was something I focused on as a goal to get back to through my recovery. Also I quickly figured out that water was my friend, the more I drank, the better I felt. Eventually over the course of years, many more visits with doctors and specialist, and through many different stages of trial and error with my diet, I navigated my way to a point of weening myself off of my medication. I don't recommend anyone try this without consulting your doctor/specialist but I was able to reach a stage of complete remission by the age of 19 and I was sick of taking pills everyday. I finally felt like I was reaching a point of really living a lifestyle that made me feel healthy and strong, however, less than a year later myself and my brother started to become sick all over again but this time it was different. Unlike the sickness we had when we were kids with Crohn's, this was an all new batch of symptoms.
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) is a disease of the liver that is usually associated with inflammatory bowel diseases. It is a condition that inflames the bile ducts of the liver that carry the digestive liquid to your small intestine. The inflammation causes scars within the bile ducts. The scars make the ducts hard and narrow and gradually cause serious liver damage. Interestingly we were diagnosed within a shorter time frame of each other than with Crohn's and our experiences were slightly different as well. I don't know in detail the extent of my brothers symptoms, however, my symptoms ranged from itchy feet/skin, yellowing of the eyes and even full blown Jondis. There are some theories that the massive amounts of medication they prescribed us for Crohn's that we took for over 5 years may have exacerbated the development of the the disease. My liver wasn't able to filter the toxins in my blood properly at one point and I had to have a stint put in to my major biliary duct to prop it open so the bile could get to my intestine and I could digest food properly. Only I needed to have this procedure done. This of course was compounded with small flare ups with my Crohn's, however, based on our medical history, diagnosing the condition was much quicker as we addressed the problems as they happened. PSC is a degenerative condition, unfortunately there is no cure only even individual treatment of different symptoms. The only permanent solution is a liver transplant.
I am happy to say that today and for the past 8 years I have lived in remission from Crohn's, flare ups can happen from time to time but thankfully they're only temporary, and I am able to manage my PSC quite well to match my lifestyle. I can only attribute my success with living in remission to a balanced diet, an active lifestyle, drinking lots of water and of course luck. Being able to manage Crohn's & PSC without medication is very rare, I don't take it for granted. To those that may be living with medical conditions and suffer from chronic symptoms or even pain, your strength inspires me, I hope one day you can reach a point that allows you to live comfortably and healthy. I'll wrap this up with stating the obvious fact that I am not an expert on Crohn's or PSC, I am simply someone who has lived through and lives with the diseases. The examples above are my experiences and the understanding I have developed as the diseases pertain to me.
Lastly, If you made it this far, thanks for reading and a huge thanks to Brian, Jeremy and Taylor. Sick Boy Podcast is rad as fuck, I wish there was something like this when I was younger, it would have made the world seem a whole lot bigger.

Acclaimed singer/songwriter John Mark McMillan is gearing up for the independent release of his fourth studio album titled 'Borderland' on 4th March 2014. This will be the first album released through McMillan's recently launched record label, Lionhawk Records. 'Borderland' was funded by a Kickstarter campaign earlier this year raising over $69,000 and backed by more than 1,500 contributors.
"'Borderland' speaks to the idea of the 'place between places,'" says McMillan, "which is where I feel I've been living as a person, as an artist, and as a believer for a couple of years. While few things describe the Christian experience more than the 'place between places,' it is also a concept everyone can relate to. We all walk lines between work and family, love and responsibility, art and commerce, passion and business and so on. Many of these songs are my commentary from a life between the crevices and on the verge."
In addition to the anticipation around McMillan's upcoming LP, the Charlotte, North Carolina native's previous work continues with its success. In 2012, 'Seen A Darkness,' from his last album 'Economy,' was featured in the promo for the Grey's Anatomy episode, "Hope for the Hopeless" (Season 8: Episode 12). His single 'How He Loves' was recently listed by Integrity Music as one of the 25 most influential worship songs in the past 25 years and still today ranks on CCLI's Top 25 chart. John Mark is proud to be an ambassador for World Vision and an advocate for its work in Bahkari, India.

Greece woman indicted on murder charge in Old Edgemere Drive slaying
File video: Greece Police Department investigation the suspicious death of a 69-year-old man after he was found dead in his home on Edgemere Drive on Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2017. Olivia Lopez and Brian Sharp
A Greece woman has been indicted on a charge of second-degree murder by a Monroe County grand jury in a Greece slaying earlier this month, the Monroe County District Attorney's office announced Wednesday.
Cynthia Whitaker, 41, is now charged with murder in the death of Michael Taylor, 69, on Aug. 8 inside Taylor's Old Edgemere Drive home.
Whitaker, who was linked romantically to Taylor, was previously charged with second-degree manslaughter.
Taylor was found dead in the kitchen of his residence at 2337 Old Edgemere Drive. His death was initially considered suspicious, but was later ruled a homicide, said Greece Police Sgt. Jared René.
Greece Police Chief Patrick Phelan said Whitaker and Taylor had some sort of argument that led to a physical altercation. He didn't reveal the nature of the argument.
Court papers allege Whitaker threw a barbell weight at Taylor, striking him in the head. The barbell was recovered from the scene, police said.

The two had been dating for several years, Phelan said. "It appears that she was the primary aggressor in this altercation," Phelan said in a press conference earlier this month.
Phelan said it was unclear how long Taylor was dead in his home before he was discovered by his son, who went to the home to check on his father after not hearing from him for several days.

How to Improve WiFi for Your Xbox
So, what options do you have for a better home network connection? Let's look at a few.
WiFi Mesh
WiFi networks can have good speeds, but some still have lower reliability or high latency. Standard mesh WiFi networks, for instance, on average have higher latency or lag times. A standard mesh repeater only extends the WiFi signal while taking up some of the bandwidth for its connection. This means gamers may experience delays and signal interruption.
Power Adapters
There are a number of power adapters on the market, but they don't always live up to their speed hype. In addition, they connect via a home's electrical wiring, so they are subject to more interference. Interference causes lag in a connection, and we know this is bad for gaming.
Ethernet to your Router
Wiring a gaming console directly to your router almost guarantees a reliable connection. Unfortunately, this may not always be an option unless your Xbox is right next to your router. In addition, installing or wiring Ethernet through the walls can be difficult, messy and costly.
Use a MoCA Device
MoCA is a wired technology that allows you to connect your router to other devices in your home by using the existing coaxial wiring in your walls. MoCA creates a superhighway between these devices, with exceptionally high speeds and reliable signals, which is ideal for gaming.
You have two primary options to use MoCA: 1] MoCA Network Extenders, and 2] MoCA Adapters.
The MoCA Network Extender is a sort of hybrid wired-wireless option. With a MoCA Network Extender, you'll get an ultra-high-speed and reliable signal between your router and the Extender using your home's coaxial wiring. From there the Network Extender sends out a WiFi signal to the dead zones in your home, which can be used by gaming consoles or any other wireless device.
To get the fast and reliable connection needed for gaming, you may want to go fully wired. MoCA Adapters will directly connect an Xbox to a router via the existing coaxial wiring in a home. This entirely wired option is also easy to set up. You simply connect one adapter to the router and another to the Xbox that's near a coaxial port. MoCA adapters are designed to give high throughput, low latency, and low packet loss.

Alle Shogun fans kunnen zich weer in de handjes wrijven. Warrior Kings zal gaan waar Shogun eerder gegaan is. Een massale 3d RTS vol met ridders en andere zwaard dragende mannekes.The game will feature five different resources vital for
your army. All resources will be equally important, but
the main resource will be - food. Everyone knows that a
hungry soldier is not much of a soldier; hence, all troops will have an additional characteristic - hunger - showing if they are well fed or not. If your troops get hungry, you will face rebellions, theft, betrayal, and desertion. As you can see, the provisions will strategically be very important. This is why the game will feature several buildings meant for creating and delivering food like cornfields, mills, bakeries, and delivery caravans. Of course, you'll also have to arm your troops in order to make them fight. This is what the next two resources are good for - iron and gold. The gold will be there to lure men into your forces, and iron will be used to forge buildings, swords, crossbows, spears, and guns for harquebus -warriors. The last two resources are wood and stone, and they are used for building structures (Isn't this the same type of resources as in AoE -Ed).
You won't use resources only to build your troops; you
will also have to use them in order to maintain your
troops in functional condition. The soldiers have to eat before the battle, and this introduces a great new strategic element - supply trains. These well-defended wooden cars were used as a means of transport before men invented plains and choppers. If a troop gets cut off of its supplies, it gets completely demoralized.Warrior Kings, Shogun alleen dan zonder Japanners
