In the last instalment, I touched briefly on the subject of how a relationship system could affect combination attacks during combat. Relationship systems aren't a new invention by any means, Breath of Fire had the coloured gems on the character status screen, and Star Ocean: The Second Story had a very in-depth system of inter-character friendships and love. This system was the basis for the 'Private Action' system of events, where you could watch short scripted sequences that took place between characters in your party when you entered a town. Some of these private actions included interactive elements, where you got to choose how you would react to the interactions between other characters. When I first saw it in action I thought it was brilliant, and still to this day think this is a great way to flesh out character's personalities, backstory, and relationships between characters.
However, tihs series is about combat. So let's look at combat.
As I said last time, a character relationship system goes very well with a combination attack system. Characters who are 'friends' are more likely to develop combat strategies that take advantage of each others' strengths. The possibilities don't end there, however.
I used the phrase 'friends fighting side by side', and I think therein lies the key: friends look out for each other, derive strength from each other, and watch each other's backs. These are all things that can be implemented using existing mechanics.
Final Fantasy VI had another, less visible system, where if you had a character at near-death status (low HP, with a visual cue of the character kneeling instead of the usual standing idle stance) and selected the 'Fight' command, there was a small chance the character would execute a desperation attack. Desperation attacks, like the character-specific abilities, had unique combat animations and spell effects, and were usually pretty powerful.
In a similar vein, and using the relationship system, when a character is reduced to near death, it could be interesting to have characters with strong emotional ties to that character to intervene. A healer, for example, might cast a heal on the character to pull them out of the danger zone, while a defensive fighter might position themselves in front of that character, protecting them from the next attack.
To tie it in with the action gem system I detailed in the first ToRPGCS, perhaps the triggering of one of these actions requires and expends an active action gem. This way, we'd avoid the crazy exploitation of the system by the sly – as was common with Squall's Renzokuken in FFVIII – and at the same time it would add another element to the strategic conservation of actions: a player might decide to leave the healer's action gems active instead of topping up characters if they are expecting a powerful enemy attack. The player would also be more invested in keeping track and developing the relationships of their characters.
It would also be interesting for the pendulum to swing both ways: if character A is very good friends with character B, and character B is KOed in combat (HP reduced to 0), it would be interesting for character A to express their anguish or grief somehow. In a combat setting, this could be a temporary debuff that decreases their strength in combat, or perhaps the character goes berserk and attacks the enemy uncontrollably for a few rounds. After all, villains usually resort to attacking the heroes' weaker associates and love ones as a means of demoralising them.

Dominant UK reward model is failing: new approaches must address low pay, gender pay and total rewards
15 Feb 2018
With many UK workers experiencing real wage cuts, persistent and unjustified pay gaps in a tightening labour market, a new research paper by the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) identifies areas where employers and policymakers should act to reinvigorate their pay practices to improve employee engagement and productivity.
With the likely intensification of current recruitment shortages, skills gaps and the fall in living standards as the UK leaves the European Union, the paper argues that both employers and policymakers should act on three key areas – low pay, gender pay and total rewards – to help halt the relative decline of the UK's already below-par productivity performance.
The paper, authored by IES head of HR consultancy, Dr Duncan Brown, analyses trends in UK pay and rewards over the past thirty years. It shows moves across all sectors towards more market- and performance-related pay and individualised, more flexible reward packages. However, beneath the rhetoric of 'total' rewards and aspiring to be a 'best-place-to-work', greater risk and precariousness in pay was transferred to employees at the same time as pay differentials escalated and pay fairness took a back-seat. In this context, more action on the areas of low pay, gender pay and total rewards should be a priority, Brown argues.
Since the financial crash in 2008, many UK employers have made use of low-cost reward models and low pay awards which, Brown suggests, go hand-in-hand with stalled pay progression, limited benefits and uncertain working hours. This has prompted recent government intervention on the 'fairness' agenda, including new measures to address excessive executive pay and systemic low pay with the National Living Wage.
Dr Duncan Brown, author of the paper, commented:
'The UK's productivity woes, lagging behind countries like France and Germany, are partly due to a lack of investment in skills and too many businesses benefiting opportunistically from a prevailing culture of low pay.
'IES research suggests that prioritising and balancing the goals of fairness, flexibility and affordability in reward arrangements is essential to tackle the challenges facing the UK economy.'

My interest is to see the "transition to a world that is Climate-Friendly, Waste-Free and Wilderness-Rich". That is to say "sustainable".
Current oil crops are limited, in yield, by the concentration of economic product in reproductive tissue. With the exception of oil palm. However there are genera where oils are secreted in vegetative tissue, and that fix nitrogen also (via Azotobacter and haem-O2-transporters). For example Myrica cerifera and Myrica pensylvannica are fatty-acid secreting temperate species, that fix nitrogen that might be bred to produce substantial quantities of oil. In the same way that oil palm was selected, in the 1940's-1950's, for high oil in vegetative tissue.
Like oil yields that are limited by concentration of product in reproductive tissue (seeds), starch yields are greatest in crops where the product is in vegetative tissue. Sugar beet, for example, yields an average of 12 tonnes of pure sugar per hectare, in some years across the whole of beet cropping in England. Which might be compared to average yields of wheat, that are at best 8-10 tonnes per hectare. There is thus huge scope to develop higher yielding staple crops - where the product is concentrated in vegetative tissue (turnips, swedes, temperate yams, beets, and many more).
Potato yields, it is perhaps worth noting, have been stagnant for almost 40 years, owing to perversities in research, and to cheating consumers with rotten quality products (so that they are rewarded for buying antique varieties - which are often from the old Maris Lane labs in Cambridge).
Those same, vegetative, and high yielding staples could also be selected for nutritional quality - principally lysine and methionine levels (which are deficient in grains and potatoes). This has been done using GM by Monsanto with corn, and by Chakraborty with Amaranthus protein in potatoes, but the varieties are kept out of the market and there is virtually no awareness of the savings possible and benefits of 'nutritionally complete staples'. Which would quickly reduce the 25% figure - of the world's children (WHO) who are stunted?
This situation, where obvious and feasible technologies are disregarded, is ludicrous given the imperatives of rapid climate change - and of deprivation in many parts of the world. However many people feel that, as we have an economic model that depends on growth, overconsumption and waste (to mitigate deficit financing and an unsustainable redistribution/allocation model), this situation is desirable.
But, like the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, UNEP, and a host of others, I think that this is ridiculous. We should grow up and stop using resources (that pollute the planet) just because we could not be bothered coming up with a better allocation system.
[FOOTNOTE: A more resource rich world would lead to much greater flourishing of care, justice, the arts, sports and leisure - with selection mainly determined by performance in these spheres. As seen in the flourishes and vivid displays of tropical species. This contrasts with the perverse incentives (for waste) and hugely distorted incentives (prices) that are in any case often meaningless (incommensurable in economic, social and environmental dimensions and metrics).]

Dimpleplasty Is The New Cosmetic Surgery Trend And WTF
Blame social media, blame society norms – whatever the cause – cosmetic surgery is on the up. And now, there's a new trend amongst people getting plastic surgery… and it's called Dimpleplasty.
We know, right.
WTF Is Dimpleplasty?
As the name suggests, dimpleplasty is a cosmetic procedure for people who want cheek dimples. Welcome to 2017 and what a time it is to be alive.
Now, we're not going to lie. Yes, cheek dimples are ridiculously CUTE. Just look at Chezza and ol' H Styles, both of which have fabulous faces and even more fabulous cheek dimples. But actually PAYING MONEY and going UNDER THE KNIFE in order to achieve said dimples???? Nah, we're alright thanks babes.
The procedure (which costs upwards of £1,000) involves creating a small incision inside the patients mouth, and will create a semi-permanent dimple effect for around two months.
Apparently the procedure takes about 30 minutes, and had "very little downtime" but call us crazy, we're not convinced.
What do you reckon, would you pay £1K for dimpleplasty? Just IMAGINE the shoes you could buy. And they'd last you FOREVER.
Please tweet us @lookmagazine if you've had the procedure because we are seriously intrigued. (Also maybe lend us a tenner too)

On rare occasions, I get the chance to go into a photography studio and take some shots. There are a studios and photo clubs that every so often open up and let club members and non-members come into the studio to shoot with professional lighting. Sometimes they loan out triggers to trip the flashes. They set up various scenes of backdrops and bring in male and female models so you can practice shooting images. Sometimes they stage on-location shoots at a park, a lake, a museum or other spot.
I don't get to go to these very often. Sometimes – rarely – they are free, or very nearly so, but at other times they can charge a pretty penny for the use of the studio (and that's why I very seldom get to go!) After all, it costs money to have people present in the studio, to have models, the electricity, etc., and I suppose that's fair.
What I particularly enjoy about these sessions is taking head shots. Today's photo is one such image that I took recently. What a difference professional lighting makes!
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY: in 1873, while protecting a railroad survey party in Montana, Custer and his 7th Cavalry clash for the first time with the Sioux Indians, who will defeat them three years later at Little Big Horn.
During the previous two years, Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and his 7th Cavalry had not fought a single battle against the hostile Indians of the western Plains. Hungry for action, Custer was pleased when the 7th Cavalry was ordered to help protect a party of surveyors laying out the route for the proposed Northern Pacific Railroad. The new transcontinental railroad (the third in the United States) was to pass through territory controlled by hostile Sioux Indians. Custer was optimistic that the assignment would give him a chance to improve his reputation as an Indian fighter.
Initially, the military escort saw little action. The hostile Indians seemed to be avoiding or ignoring the survey party. For Custer, the mission turned into something of a lark. He spent much of his time shooting buffalo, antelope, elk, and other animals. To find good hunting, he often led the 7th Cavalry far away from the survey party and the main body of the military escort.
On this day in 1873, Custer was far ahead of the rest of the force, camping along the Tongue River in southeastern Montana. Suddenly, a large band of Sioux warriors appeared on the horizon and attacked. The Indians were led by Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, but the young braves seemed to have attacked impetuously and with little planning. Custer, who had been taking an afternoon nap, reacted quickly and mounted an effective defense. After a brief skirmish, the Indians withdrew.
Since only one soldier and one Indian were killed in the skirmish, Custer's short battle along the Tongue River seemed relatively insignificant at the time. However, Custer's easy escape in his first encounter with Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse may have given him a dangerously scornful view of their fighting abilities. It helped to confirm his belief that the Plains warriors tended to flee rather than fight. As a result, when Custer again encountered Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse at the Little Big Horn River three years later, his greatest fear was that they would withdraw before he could attack, and he rushed in without proper reconnaissance. That time, though, the Indians stood and fought, leaving Custer and more than 200 of his men dead.
TRIVIA FOR TODAY: North America's lowest recorded temperature was -81.4 degrees Fahrenheit (-63 C) at Snag, Yukon Territory, on February 3, 1947.

An earlier post wondered if the last 2 days was an expiration bear raid or something else. One speculation was whether sovereign CDS would actually trigger a credit event. The morning news out of Europe has the tone of giving up on the Common Market Project-part bailout fatigue no doubt and resolution will take forever. Without the promise of endless bailouts, you have to wonder what will prop up equity prices. Do I have to remake myself as a political analyst now?
Meanwhile, domestic equity markets continue their shenanigans, futures up big and selling off in the pre-market. Some of that must be morning short covering, but I think too that more people are catching on– big drops are followed immediately by biggish pops. So, this pattern cannot last too long either.
In the very short term, I suspect much of the expiration driven action is over. Turkey weeks are particularly slow and somewhat bullish biased. Nibble,nibble not gobble, gobble!

I love guacamole and chips more than any other kind of food, so naturally I make it all the time! I love using my essential oils because they give the guacamole a very special flavor! I thought my guacamole couldn't get any better until Gina Truman told me to try adding Wild Orange.... It was amazing and better than I imagined! I thought I would share the recipe so you could try it out for yourself!
Original recipe from Gina Truman
6 ripe avocados
½ medium red onion, small diced
2 TBS sour cream
2 tsp chopped garlic
1 toothpick tip Black Pepper Oil
1 toothpick tip Cilantro Oil
1 drop of Wild Orange Oil
2 drops Lime Oil
Combine all ingredients into a small bowl. Mix—don't mix until smooth. Leave it chunky.
Serve with chips or as a condiment.

Silent film 'Mercury' is a universal thriller, says Subbaraj
Karthik Subbaraj, the young director of the movie directed creative movies like 'Pizza', 'Jigartha' and 'Iravai'. Now his latest film is 'Mercury'. Prabhu Deva plays a key role. The film is being screened as Silent Thriller and is scheduled for release on April 13th. The already released Teaser movie has made huge expectations. Speciality in the Film is screened without a single dialogue.
Speaking about his role in 'Mercury', Prabhu Deva said, "Mercury is my most challenging role to date. We got an amazing response for teaser. Audiences have never seen me like this."
In retrospect, the filmmaker-choreographer calls himself a reluctant actor. "I've never really enjoyed being in front of the camera. Friends like Remo D'Souza and Rajiv Menon have requested me to act. I've done what they asked me to in their films. This is the first time I've taken such a keen interest in a film where I am acting."
'We did not even make any noise while shooting. Background music added after completing the film. It does not have any conversations. Looking forward to this new experiment.

OBAMA: WHAT WE'VE GOTTEN DONE, I'M ENORMOUSLY PROUD OF | The Gateway Pundit.
Really Mr. President!
Follow the link above and check out the charts and graphics. By just about every measure imaginable, we are worse off now than we were almost three years ago. The President is delusional if he thinks things are better and that he should be proud of what the White House and the Democrats in Congress have perpetrated on this country. We are seriously off course.
The Captain of the ship appears to be oblivious. Is he stupid? Is he uninformed? Is he so ideologically rigid that he can't conceive of doing anything differently? Is he secretly in league with the rabble on Wall Street who want to destroy the system? I'm just asking.

WE'VE seen it played before, and it's being played over and over again now since Margaux Uson otherwise known as "Mocha Uson," appeared before the Senate inquiry on fake news.
Looked down on because she was a sexy dancer, we opted to look down some more and disregard the fact that she actually has a degree to her name and a lot more braincells than a journalist has.
Many may not admit it, but the bottomline really is her breasts. Yes, we said it, because we know where the slut-shaming is coming from and for as long as we act with the decency that some Filipinos are suddenly concerned about and not mention her breasts, then we will just be skimming on the surface, without seeing where all these is coming from.
At the bottom of it all is the stereotype of a well-endowed woman: that they are only good for their physical attributes and not for any brainwork. The fact remains that Mocha has a degree to her name and several units into Med School at that. It's just that she's well-endowed, knows how to dance, and not ashamed of the body she is gifted with.
At the bottom of it is the commodification of women in our society.
Now onto her being an assistant secretary (Asec) of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO), and suddenly we are all concerned about her spreading fake news when all she shared that's iffy was that photograph of soldiers that were not Filipinos and a lot of opinions. Her fault, and she already owned up to it. But no, we want her crucified because she's an Asec.
Wait. What is she in PCOO for? Her ability to engage people in a conversation, ability to stir up people to speak up, ability to gather their attention. With that ability thrown government way, people will listen and act.
But we would rather crucify her for it, because you know, big breasts. Our psyche that has long been trained to look down on the well-endowed, and that is a fact.
Now onto fake news.
Many a correspondent and stringer and reporter of national dailies for years on end now have been ruing the fact that their Manila desk would tweak their story and put in some unverified facts even, to increase the death toll or the casualty toll, because that is what sells.
Gunbattles in an almost unknown barangay in the most remote town of a hinterland region would be made to look like there was war in Mindanao.
Mocha now is even accused of polarizing the people as if she indeed is a power so great, she can do everything. But wait, remember those "Muslim" terrorists and criminals the Manila press love to report, to the shame of the Mindanao reporter who actually submitted the news without the tag? It took a major outrage and years of awareness-raising to remove that "Muslim" tag on criminals. Go ask any Muslim, they carry that hurt until now. We even see that label used every now and then from Manila-based journalists. Long before Mocha started dancing, journalists were already polarizing the people.
Lawyer Trixie Cruz Angeles had a strong point when she stumped TV anchor Karen Davila on the topic of fake news and the claims repeated over and over by mainstream media about extrajudicial killings: "You go after Mocha Uson for a wrong picture, but you are absolutely quiet about 13,000 deaths."
Bottomline: Fake news did not come with Mocha nor the Duterte Administration. It has been there, stoked to a blaze by journalists and editors who love to make burning headlines even when what is really happening on the ground is nothing but a dying ember. For as long as we attribute the blame to someone else, the problems will remain.

In the East Prussian city of Konigsberg the German forces had devised a formidable stronghold. Beginning on January 9, 1945 until April 6, 1945 the German forces held out even though they had been surrounded and cut off from any help from out side the city. For 10 long weeks Soviet aircraft roamed the skies unopposed and Soviet tanks and troops slowly fought their way into the city. ISU-152 #65 with the inscription "Liberated Kirovskiy" was one of the Assault Guns used to destroy enemy fortifications and armor.

Either Retail Industry Evolves with Today's Consumer -- or It Dies
Coming out of the Retail Value Chain Federation Fall Conference, it was clear that retailers, merchandise suppliers and even service providers are facing a do-or-die situation. It's a simple choice – adapt to meet the needs of today's consumer or become obsolete. Period. That means optimizing drop...[more]
Robots Will Soon Be In The Store Helping to Fulfill Orders
As retailers continue to compete with e-commerce, they remain challenged in optimizing the use of in-store inventory as available to fulfill. The emergence of safe, mobile robots will help retailers to make better use of in-store inventory, while also enhancing the customer experience. Robots in...[more]
A Complete Supply Chain Transformation From Push to Demand-Pull
Until 2001, the world of supply chain management, especially in retail, had been driven by what we call the "push system," a very linear and slow-to-move-forward process. This approach, historically in retail, has been driven by an antiquated "middleman & merchandising" model involving "The Show",...[more]
Four Ways Amazon Disrupting Customer Expectations

One of the most wise people on Earth may make an observation (a problem) and from it a suggestion (a solution), but it and she-he will go unheeded and the wise course will not be taken. How are the wise to be discovered, become known? Will he-she-they have some sort of track record of judgments, like Supreme Court justices? Where else in life experiences may they be identified? If the hand lights on the shoulder of one of them, how will a general acclaim blossom, rise loud and clear, and bring them forward to face the general public? Will the approval and enthusiastic applause be enough to arouse a vast society?
It so happens that the one wise person I have read today has a very large bugle announcing his presence. IT was so instantly apparent to me, I had to add my applause. It is a natural!
One of the most wise for our times has proposed "The Green Tea Party" in his N.Y. Times column. Who else? Tom Friedman. Please read it to spread that word.
"Tea Party with a Difference", N.Y. Times. (4-24-10)
Which see:
Take a "lemon" (The Tea Party) and make lemonade, "The Green Tea Party", tea with a squirt of lemon!

What is your measure of success? A brand new house of your dreams? A shiny new car? Being able to take exotic trips? Having a lot of money in the bank? Shopping for whatever you want and not having to worry how to pay for it? Climbing the social ladder? Getting a promotion to a new position with your company, meaning a corner office, more responsibility and more income?
It's funny how we measure success. Everyone measures it differently. For some, success is having good health. Or having family close by and seeing them often. Being able to retire early with enough money to live on. Or just being able to enjoy life, whatever definition you would give to that.
Maybe it's having the "Black Card" with your name on it, allowing you to buy whatever you want — even a jet. Being able to play golf at a prestigious golf course, chartering a really nice boat for a fishing expedition. Taking a cruise, skiing the Alps, dinner in Paris, or laying on a beach on a tropical island.
I get excited when Fingerhut sends me a new card with my name on it. We like to be able to "enjoy the good life" and have a sense of accomplishment by the house we live in or the car we drive or the clothes we wear or the places we visit on vacation.
After being in the ministry almost four decades, I can tell you this … I have never, ever seen a U-Haul truck behind a hearse. Never. You cannot take it with you. Someone is going to fight over it. And the Bible tells us that we are going to meet our Maker one of these days. The longer I live, the more friends I see passing away. Our graduating class lost three classmates this past month. It really makes you think when you see people your age and younger falling over with a stroke or a heart attack or dying of cancer.
The Bible says, in Revelation 20:15 "Whosoever was not found written in the Lamb's Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire." That means this, if you have everything a person could ever want, and your name is not written in the Lamb's Book of Life (you have not been Born Again) you will not spend your eternity in Heaven with God. It will not happen. You must be Born Again in order to spend eternity in Heaven with God. Please get this right. You only have one opportunity to be right when you leave this world. And the devil is a deceiver and he will make every attempt to deceive you into believing you are all right. Salvation has nothing to do with us — it has everything to do with Jesus Christ and receiving Him as our Savior and Lord. It's not a head belief, it's a heart belief. Billy Graham passed away last week, but his message will last until eternity. His was a simple message, "God loves you. Jesus died for you. And God wants to forgive you of your sins. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and live for eternity with God in Heaven." If you have any doubts about whether your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life and where you are going to spend your eternity, please let me know. I'd be happy to talk with you.
And that is Something to Think About for this week.

Just look at the stars Italy had between 2000-2010;
Buffon, Toldo, Cannavaro, Nesta, Zambrotta, Pirlo, Guttusso, Del Piero, Inzaghi, Vieri, Totti, Toni, Camoranasi, De Rossi etc. All of those players were world class and I'm sure I missed out a dozen more. Between 2010-2017 I don't see that many stand out stars. Don't get me wrong, a lot of "good-very good players," but not many world class players emerged. Something has gone wrong and this needs to be addressed by the FA
fire everyone, get a young coach and make the under 21 team the senior team. Start selling foreign players and give the italian youth a chance to grow properly.
Ventura leaving his post is inevitable. Mancini will step up.
De Rossi shoulda been in that $#@!ing game 100% one way or another, we lacked any fire and passion out there which he is the definition of
As much as I hope that this leads to a general overhaul of the FIGC, let's not recon things. The same team, even with a worse squad, managed to be one of the best teams in Europe just two years ago. This failure is 90% on Ventura.

Audacious to Asinine.
I love the word asinine. That was the cuss word of choice for my father. I know, I know, it's not a cuss word. But Dad used it that way. That was as close to spewing foul language as Mr Puritan was going to get.
I was tagged with the Letter Game by the fantastic Jenny Hansen during her Titillating Tenacity of Tiny "T" post. She gave me the "A". Does that sound naughty to you too?
Thanks Jenny. Let's go for an A-ride.
This is a word that all too often describes me – equal parts recklessly daring and unrestrained by convention. Life is too short to tinker around with. I tend to jump in with both feet. To hell with convention. Also, the word itself sounds gnarly.
This is one of my favorite "A" words. I'm sure to get chided for throwing in a word so obviously full of double meanings. But it is what it is. I spent the better part of last week geared up and in action with a full-blown FTX (Field Training Exercise).
I love action, especially when it involves MRAPs, Black Hawk helo support, explosives, flash bangs, midnight maneuvers, and simunition rounds.
Jenny, this is the reason I was late in responding to your challenge. Please forgive.
Ambergris Cay
"What?" Yeah, you heard me. Ambergris Cay. If you want perfect beaches, friendly locals, and sun to kill for, you should check out Turks and Caicos. There is a small island on the southern end of the group called Ambergris Cay. Very few people, lots of sand and sun, and it is still pretty close to "Provo" to the north.
My last word for this post is allegiance. I'm a very loyal person. I stand behind what I believe to be right. Loyalty is important to me.
Alastor is one of the first words/names that came to my mind when I was given the letter A. Alastor is a Grand Demon that plays some important antagonistic roles in my two books. I mention this only because the characters in my books have become vivid and lifelike in my head. It is as if the character is evolving, and I think that side of the creative process is amazing.
I am a big fan of the Arabic language. It has many dialects and regional differences, but the language itself is very strong, poetic, expressive and evocative.
That about does it for my "A"s.
Any and all additions acting as an acceptable acquiescence are ancillary and auxiliary as appropriate.

So…funny thing. I actually didn't make it very far on my first day. Davenport to San Francisco. I hugged and kissed mom and dad goodbye (no ugly cry – saved that for JOD) and off I went.
The morning was pretty awesome. It was overcast and cool, usual SF summer weather. A bunch of people showed up in the park to do some stunting (of which you'll see pictures…someday). Then in usual fashion, we retired to a bar. And when I say retired, I mean, we got the 2nd part of the day started. We started shopping for heels, cause really, why wouldn't 5 grown men with feet the size of small boats want to wear stiletto heels around the Castro for a night?
Lots of reasons, but first..photos!
I dont understand where this boy glam business came from, or what business our little crew had trying to pull it off. But here is the end result of a 3 hour shopping trip in union square, lots of strange looks from tourists and even stranger looks from locals…not really.
Yes, we were a shit show. and you know what. We had an amazing time. Great first day on my way to Chicago. I really hope they're as welcoming to big boys in heels as SF pretends to be…Meanwhile, I now understand the need for shoes that fit your foot and I have more respect for strippers than you can even fathom. PS, special shout out to whatever celestial being that kept me from falling off my spikes and breaking an ankle.
Day 2, in the works.

Nick Nightmare Investigates by Adrian Cole. Cover art by Bob Eggleton. Interior art by Jim Pitts. Co-published by The Alchemy Press and Airgedlámh Publications
In this frenetic collection of stories taken from the files of Nick Nightmare, Private Eye, the intrepid pulp hero is thrown into a murky world of crawling horrors, spawned by the Old Ones as they seek to rise up from their primordial oceanic depths, 'when the stars are right.' Whether he is shooting it out with power-crazed acolytes in his native New York, or slipping across into other dimensions to battle the spreading plague of invasion, Nightmare is never far from the long, clammy reach of the things from the Deep, bizarre artefacts of power, decrepit villages and citadels, magic and voodoo. Life for the private eye is an endless slalom of mayhem.
Joining Nightmare are a host of weird characters, from the Sleaze Sisters, to Sharkbait Bill; the ageing but still potent superhero team, Vengeance Unlimited; and the extraordinary Monitifellini and his Magic Bus. There are the devious depravities of the Vogue Prince, the Bang Gang, and the frightful Spiderhead, to name but a few.
Nick Nightmare Investigates includes a team-up with Damian Paladin in a brand new, full-blooded action thriller, written in collaboration with Mike Chinn. Nick Nightmare Investigates is a potent blend of HP Lovecraft, Mickey Spillane and the roller coaster adventures of the golden age of the pulps. Available as a signed, limited edition (200 copies only) hardcover from The Alchemy Press.

10 Beauty Products to Mask the Symptoms of Allergies
Spring has sprung, and although some of us are taking the time to stop and smell the daffodils, many are sneezing because of them. Allergies are rampant this spring thanks to the Pollen Vortex (and I thought the Polar Vortex was frustrating). And if itchy noses, watering eyes, and congestion weren't enough to contend with, sufferers know that allergy symptoms can look as bad as they feel. In anticipation of the pollen overload, here are 10 products that target common allergy symptoms so you can actually actually enjoy the great outdoors.
Dark Under Eye Circles
For dark under eye circles, try a creamy concealer with pink undertones to illuminate the area, like this one by Laura Mercier.
Laura Mercier High Coverage Concealer For Under Eye, $28, bergdorfgoodman.com
Dark Under Eye Circles
One product may not be enough to conceal particularly deep circles. For maximum effect, use a corrector like this one by Bobbi Brown to cancel out purple tones, followed by a regular under eye concealer.
Bobbi Brown Corrector, $24, sephora.com

Summary, Mark in toto, Part 1
We've read the entire gospel, including the epilogue that contains a Resurrection story that was not part of the original, and apparently written by someone familiar with Luke's version of the Resurrection story. Or, Luke and the author of Mark 16 had access to the same source. I should have thought of that earlier. It pays to remember that there is almost always another possible explanation to the one that may seem obvious.
As the gospel gets started with Jesus beginning to preach after the arrest of John the Dunker, what we get is a series of stories of, well, Jesus preaching. Jesus travels about Galilee and environs, crossing and re-crossing the Sea of Galilee, even venturing into the territory of Tyre and Sidon. On these wanderings, he heals all who are brought to him, exorcises hordes of demons, and preaches the good news by telling parables about the coming new order. All who hear him are amazed, and he is enormously popular, having to skulk about in the wilderness because he's unable to enter towns due to the crowds he draws. One consistent message is that the healings and the exorcisms he performs are done by virtue of the faith of the person requesting. When Jesus returns to his (unnamed) home town, he can do little because they don't have faith in him, largely because they knew him when. In contrast, the bleeding woman's faith is so great that she is healed despite the fact that Jesus was completely unaware (not exactly omniscience) of what was happening until he felt the power going out of him. During this stretch of narrative, which seems to run through Chapter 7 and into Chapter 8, there is a level of uncertainty about who Jesus actually is. A demon tells us that he is "the holy one of God", but that doesn't really tell us much.
In the commentary, I made observations about the ambivalence of Mark regarding Jesus' divinity at several points in the narrative. As the gospel moved on, however, it seemed that this ambivalence dissipated, and all doubt about Jesus' divine status was removed when we reached the Transfiguration story in Chapter 9. There, Jesus was all-but assumed into Heaven as Moses and Elijah appeared with him in a blaze of dazzling light. Then, in Chapter 11, when Jesus makes his entry into Jerusalem that is commemorated on Palm Sunday, the pervading sense seemed to be that Jesus was the heir of David, the Messiah, the Christ. Reading all of this piecemeal, section by section, some of the flow and context was lost; reading it start to finish, I had the distinct impression we were reading about two separate and distinct representations of Jesus. This led to the question of whether this distinction was present in the text, or whether it was something that occurred to me based on a flawed reading of the text.
So I did some crude textual analysis.
One of the techniques of textual analysis is to count up the number of times a given word crops up in a particular work. Counts like this are then used to spot thematic trends or changes in authorship; for example, odd words occurring once may be a clue that the word in question is a gloss that became incorporated into the text. This is especially true for a word that has evolved in meaning. Of course James Strong has done that for both the Hebrew Scriptures (f.k.a. "the Old Testament") and the New Testament. Strong's Words is an invaluable tool both for analysis, and sometimes for helping to figure out what a particular word might mean in a given context. I have cited such analyses a number of times; it was particular helpful when reading 1 Thessalonians and Galatians. Mark's vocabulary, in contrast, is less controversial, or perhaps less tortured. (Bear in mind that this is coming from a Classics person; such persons often have a snobbish disdain of NT Greek. That the disdain is rarely—if ever—justifiable is beside the point.)
I took a slightly different approach. Jeffrey Burton Russell, in his magnificent series of books on The Devil, Satan, Lucifer, and Mephistopheles introduced me to the idea of the historical concept. It's more than just the use of a given word; it's also all the various ways that a word can be expressed. Take, for example, "the Christ". Counting up the times this word occurs is helpful, but I believe it's incomplete. Recall that in 1:24, the unclean spirit that Jesus has expelled informs us that Jesus is 'the holy one of God'. I think we are fully justified in taking this as a synonym, or a proxy for "the Christ". Yet, if we only counted instances of the exact word, we'd miss this example in 1:24, and our count—and so our analysis—would be incomplete.
In doing this conceptual analysis, I noticed something that I found striking. The concepts that occur in Chapters 1-7, roughly the first half of the work, are different from the concepts that occur in Chapters 8-15. More, the difference between 1-7 is more pointed than what occurs in 11-15. A number of concepts that show up in the first half sort of drift off in Chapters 8-10, and a lot of the concepts of 11-15 are first seen in this middle section of 8-10. Even further, there is a qualitative, or typological distinction between the types of concepts that occur in 1-7 vs. those that occur in 8-15.
In the first half, we encounter almost all of the healing stories (12 of 14); most of the exorcisms of demons (9 of 13); the comparisons to the current practice of religion (14/19); miracle stories, when the laws of nature are suspended, such as when Jesus calmed the storm (5/7); 14 of the 15 parables Jesus told; two-thirds of the references to a 'new order' or a 'new teaching' of some sort (4/6); all of the references to sinners, sinning, and repenting (8/8); references to the wilderness (7/8); and most of the references to 'good news' or preaching (15/19). In addition, use of the word 'saved' in these chapters always refers to mortal life and never everlasting life; and all references to someone being raised from the dead refer to Jesus raising someone else—such as the daughter of Jairus—rather than Jesus referring to his own coming resurrection. Finally, we get 8 of the 13 references to persons being healed by their faith; in the case of the bleeding woman, whether Jesus willed it or not. Three more occur in the 'transitional' section of Chapters 8-10.
In short, these are the stories that would have been told about the wonder-worker that was (probably) mentioned by Josephus. I believe the part about the 'Wonder-Worker is genuine; most of the rest was most likely added by later Christians. Had the whole passage been invented by later Christians, I doubt they would have referred to Jesus as a "Wonder-Worker", which had undertones of "charlatan" even back then. The modern American colloquialism would probably be something like "snake-oil salesman".
In contrast, starting with Chapter 8, the concepts we get are different. While the concept of the Christ occurs only three times in 1-7 (and the occurrence in 1:1 is quite likely a later addition), the concept occurs 8 times in the last half; most of the references to the kingdom (10/14) occur in the second half, and three of the four that occur in the first half are contained in the parables of Chapter 4. In 8-15, 'saved' now comes to mean eternal, rather than physical life. When the topic of rising/being raised from the dead crops up, it is Jesus talking about his own resurrection rather than the resurrection of another. In Chapters 8-11 the theme of the 'suffering servant' is introduced, with Jesus referring to himself and his coming suffering at the hands of others. Even the title 'son of man' is used primarily in the second half, nine times, vs. just twice in the first half of the gospel. Jesus introduces the theme of humility in Chapter 9; the theme of the elect in Chapter 13; the theme of "the life" occurs six times in Chapters 8-10, and nowhere else. Finally, the idea of Jesus returning in glory is not mentioned until Chapter 8.
In short, the second half of the gospel seems to be more about the Christ than Jesus the man who was a wonder-worker. The implication of this is that the second half is more closely related thematically to Paul than the first half of the gospel. Paul does not talk about miracles, or wisdom sayings, or parables, or Jesus' family outside of James. Jesus' mother Mary is never mentioned by Paul, let alone Mary of Magdala. Paul does mention—but not much else—the Twelve. Paul is almost (but not quite) wholly devoid of anything relating to Jesus' life. The major exception is in 1 Corinthians, when Paul discusses what we call The Last Supper.
Paul had lived and written and died before Mark wrote this work. We have Paul's own words attesting what he believed about Jesus. However, much—about half to be precise—of what Mark wrote is not in—or even implied by—what we find in Paul. Given this, and the bifurcation that we find in Mark's gospel, I believe we are justified to infer that there were at least two separate traditions that Mark tapped into when he sat down to write. Based on what is in the text, it would seem that the traditions can be roughly broken into two types: Jesus the Wonder-Worker, and Jesus the Christ.
(By 'tradition' I refer to an account of Jesus which may have included stories about his life, his teachings, or any other aspect of Jesus. This may consist of a set of stories, or a narrative, or a set of sayings like the hypothetical "Q". These stories/narratives/sayings may have been written, or, which may be more likely, related orally, perhaps as part of being inducted into the mystery of the Jesus followers.)
As a result, I believe that Mark's great contribution to Christianity was that he attempted to weld these two separate traditions into a single narrative that encompassed both interpretations of Jesus' life and death, and the implications of both. He was largely successful in this attempt. I say 'largely' because there are definite 'seams' in the work, where it's pretty apparent that different—and even contradictory—views are woven together with varying levels of success.
(to be continued….)

Yet another re-render of Starstation India's cargo maintenance bay, this time with the better realized shuttlecraft. I was also able to reproduce the visual threshold of a more accurately scaled workbee/cargo sled passing through the bay door's environmental shield. The first version of this effect was a lot of fun, but it was early in the modeling process. At the time, the vehicle was too small and the bay itself was far less fleshed out. Luckily I saved the individual elements in Photoshop and they transferred over perfectly into Pixelmator allowing me to tweak their size and placement in the shot.
I also played around with another previously posted image, "Licking Her Wounds." I put some furniture in the more starkly equipped upper level concourse. Though comfortable in appearance, these furnishings are far less lounge like and mostly represent just rows of seating for passengers awaiting their boarding times. They are a large lot of comfy cube like chairs out towards the large view ports (multiple rows) and there is a line of smaller chairs attached to an inner wall. The furnishings are very hard to see at this distance, but they do break up the monotony of floor, and being low poly they aren't much to look at anyway. There is still a large portion of the upper section that needs more furniture and detailing, but my rendering engine may have reached its limit with this shot. The new additions are all very low poly count, but I still managed to get a memory error when I tried to render as is. I actually had to pull the McCook out of the shot to reduce the number of calculations and then Photoshopped the new line of furnished view ports into an older render of the McCook berthed at the station. I will have to follow this same procedure if I want to fill in the remaining view ports.
I also added a few more auxiliary vessels (workbees and shuttles) to the mix as well.
3-10-12: Minor update to the upper concourse- Added more seating as well as color and texture alterations
4 Responses to "Revamps"
The shuttle looks great tucked in there in the first pic!
The second one is great too, as I loved the original version as well.
You do have a MASSIVE station after all!:) What are your machine specs again? I can't remember if you mentioned that over on sfm or not.

Thought of the Day
January 14, 2010
Knowledge that Jim Chanos has chosen to short China has become ubiquitous. Mr. Chanos has been a highly successful short seller and his opinion is always worthy of consideration, though I marvel and wonder that he allows his investment ideas to be so publically disseminated.
Thomas Freidman, in a column in yesterday's New York Times, entitled "Is China the next Enron?", questions Mr. Chanos' thesis. (I find it hard to believe that a man such as Mr. Chanos, known for his diligence, has not considered these observations.) Mr. Freidman's essential point is that, while agreeing China has problems in "spades", "It [China] also has a political class focused on its real problems, as well as a mountain of savings with which to do so (unlike us.)"
That sentence highlights China's real problem – a political class focused on addressing its economy, the exact opposite of what has produced two hundred years of unparalleled economic growth in the Western world – the willingness of creative individuals, operating in a society that supports personal freedom, to take risk. It is the ability to function freely that solves problems – not government bureaucrats. The Soviet Union and Communist Eastern Europe were the most recent examples of failed States that tried to control industrial production and the flow of goods and services to consumers. Tom Freidman hints at the resolution to China's problems, but fails to make the link. He points out that China has 400 million internet users, half of whom, he claims, use broadband. In spite of current censorship in China – enough to cause Google to consider giving up $600 million in revenues – the internet is a great force for democracy, and ultimately will bring down the totalitarian dictatorship which is Chinese Communism.
The willingness of the Chinese government to embrace capitalism suggests an understanding of the powerful, long-term, forces of freedom; reluctantly, they will be dragged toward democracy. It will be at that point that China will realize its full potential.
Unknowns breed risk, and in China there are a lot of unknowns. Has infrastructure run ahead of development? How controlling and/or corrupt is the government? Transparency is an issue (as it is in our derivatives markets.) How significant is the social unrest in last year's 80,000 demonstrations?
It is far beyond my capabilities to weigh in on the merits of investing in China. My only experience was a, very brief, visit a year and a half ago, but I was struck by the youthful dynamism and confidence of the people in Shanghai and Beijing. There is a feeling that one is at the start of a long and important journey. It is an exciting place.
China has allowed capitalism to flourish. But capitalism constrained by Mr. Freidman's bureaucrats over individual freedom will not unleash the "animal spirits" that allow creative responses to specific problems. A necessary component of capitalistic growth is, unfortunately, recession, the healthy part being that it eliminates excesses. There will be economic downturns, which not even China's leaders will be able to prevent. One cannot rule out future Tiananmen Squares, but there is little doubt as to the long term trajectory.
Over the past ten years China's economy has compounded at 10%. In contrast, the Shanghai Index has compounded at less than half that rate – 4.5%. Not knowing anything as to the valuations, those numbers suggest to me that there is at least some degree of skepticism built into the market.

Area mailboxes overflow with brochures, pamphlets and newsletters offering a wide spectrum of programs including weight management, stress management, assertiveness skills and childbirth classes.
All this mail signifies a change-the role of hospitals in the community is evolving and becoming more visible.
Not long ago, hospitals were considered nothing more than emergency or critical-care specialists.
Today hospitals still provide the same vital service but augment those with community education and prevention programs.

President Obama is just average.
At least by the standard of approval ratings.
Though Obama's job approval score is strong and has been since he took office, historical polling data shows Obama's popularity during his first 100 days is right in the middle of the scores other new presidents received from the public over the past 60 years.
Obama's 63 percent average, according to a study released by Gallup last month, is the highest for a new president since Jimmy Carter (he clocked in at 69 percent during his first 100 days).
But John F. Kennedy bested Obama by more than 10 points, with 74 percent. Dwight Eisenhower enjoyed a 71 percent rating early on.
Even Richard Nixon averaged a 62 percent approval rating, just 1 point shy of Obama's.
Overall, Obama's average for the first three months matched the historical average of 63 percent for presidents since Eisenhower.
When you include presidents who took the oath mid-term — after the death or resignation of a president — Obama's 63 percent looks paltry.
Harry Truman enjoyed 87 percent approval, while Lyndon Johnson enjoyed 76 percent.
Obama might have benefited, too, from the unpopularity of his predecessor.
Even after the contested 2000 election, though, George W. Bush averaged 58 percent in his first 100 days, according to the study.
Ronald Reagan averaged 60 percent, George H.W. Bush averaged 57 percent and Bill Clinton averaged 55 percent.

You might remember that upon the conception of Chipotle there was a downtown Danville location. Unfortunately, it was unable to take a foothold in the market and was forced to close. Country Waffle now occupies the space and does a very good business. Despite this, Chipotle wants to take another stab at Danville. The new location will be located in Danville Square, the center anchored by Trader Joe's. I am sure the students at San Ramon Valley High will be ecstatic for the new addition.
Other tenants in the center include Z Pizza, Starbucks, Tutti Frutti, and Bank of America. The center has a couple of vacancies including a small second generation restaurant space and an end-cap location that was temporarily used by See's Candy.

Mr. Erik Myran
Hi, my name is Erik Myran and I am in my 8th year of teaching. My wife, Vanessa, is the High School counselor for Lake City and our daughter Addison turns 1 on September 16th! I have a Masters degree in education from Winona State and a Bachelor's degree from Minnesota State, Mankato. I am also heavily involved in athletics and weight training, so I may have the priviledge of working with many of the KM students over the course of the year in that arena as well!I look forward to working with the students at K-M for the 2009-2010 school year.
