Box Jurors, Battle Buses, summons from Michael Howard and the drinking
habits of the PM: political journalists on the highlights of the
Eoin Callan, senior reporter, Financial Times
The days start early when following Tony Blair on the campaign trail.
The Labour leader's tour has covered well over 3,000 miles by the
half-way point, with many more constituency visits and stump speeches
to go before polling day.
To keep himself going, Mr Blair drinks tea constantly, while his entourage of press handlers stick to Diet Coke.
traditional battle bus – the package tour of journalism – has been
abandoned. Labour is instead concentrating on local and regional media,
leaving the national press to piece together leaked emails, whispered
rumours and wild guesses about the elusive leader's next campaign stop.
Diet-Coke brigade, as Mr Blair's logisitics staff and press officers
have become known, borrow their jargon from the West Wing, the hit US
television series. "It is a tight lid" means: "No, we're not going to
tell you where the leader will be today". Almost everything is a "tight
lid" in this election.
The best the press can hope for from tour organisers the night before a Blair trip is a vague compass point.

Blair's helicopter is to set off before dawn in the general direction
given and await further details.
The main national newspapers
have been kept at arm's length in favour of a pooled correspondent from
the Press Association, along the lines of the model used during the
Iraq war for embedding journalists with troops.
The press strategy was first floated by Alistair Campbell in the wake of the 2001 poll, which saw a historically low turnout.
replacement, Labour veteran David Hill, has helped rebuild press
relations, but his predecessor's plan to "go local" is still in place.
Franklin, a professor of media studies at Cardiff University, says the
strategy makes sense for the parties. "At a time when public trust and
readership of national newspapers is waning, it is logical to reach
voters through local media outlets with high local penetration and a
strong bond with their readers, listeners, or viewers," he says.

by the main parties. Mr Blair has granted interviews after almost every
stump speech exclusively to local press.
But others see Labour's approach as a cynical attempt to duck the tough questions that national media ask.
most important verdict on the new communications strategy may come on
polling day, when turnout figures will show how well the parties have
managed to engage voters in the democratic process.
Jonathan Walker, political editor, Birmingham Post & Evening Mail
A few weeks before the general election was called, Labour chairman
Ian McCartney told me I would be "more important than Andrew Marr"
during the campaign.
He was explaining Labour's plans to reach out directly to voters,
using face-to-face meetings, the internet and the regional media,
rather than depending on the national press and broadcasters.
may have been an exaggeration to suggest this made me more important
then the BBC's political editor. But it is true that every party has
been targeting newspapers like the Birmingham Post and Evening Mail as
they battle to reach voters.
In the "phoney war" before the
election was officially called, the regional media enjoyed
unprecedented access to the party leaders.
The prime minister
invited regional lobby correspondents to join him for lunch in Downing
Street, in March. A summons from Michael Howard became a regular

also has to be said that this campaign has failed to take off. There
have been few exciting new policies, Gordon Brown is keeping his
contempt for Tony Blair firmly under wraps, and even Puncher Prescott
has kept his temper. And there's little drama about the end result.
Gary Gibbon, political correspondent, Channel 4 News
Friends tend to ask two questions these days: "Are you enjoying the
election?" and "Have you been on the campaign?" It set me wondering
where exactly "the campaign" was. A party strategist put me right.
"The campaign," he said, "happens in the newsrooms, the edit suites,
the newspaper offices." The campaign, my source suggested, is the bits
of the parties' messages and activities that the media choose to run
Each day, the parties, starting with the Liberal Democrats,
try to set the agenda with their own chosen topic of the day. Each day,
a top story appears. The strategists' rule of thumb is that if it's not
your party's chosen topic, you've probably lost the battle of the day.
truly having the time of their lives in this election. Tony Blair has
had to abandon the "unremittingly New Labour" campaign he dreamt of and
his acolytes briefed about. He looked distinctly uncomfortable at the
first joint press conference with Gordon Brown. Since then, he's been
surer footed, but not inspirational.
Are we enjoying ourselves?
– like Labour's Thursday press conference when the party seemed to have
slipped into a time warp. Gordon Brown rhapsodised about the wonderful
certainties of the Thatcher years, Tony Blair was nostalgic for the age
of the Kray Twins. And Michael Howard's delivery of the slogan "Are You
Thinking What We're Thinking" sounds increasingly like a discarded Dick
Emery catchphrase from the 1970s. If you're thinking what I'm thinking,
it may all be over already.
Adam Boulton, political editor, Sky News
This is the most dislocated, perhaps even distracted, general
election campaign I can remember. The television screen is probably the
only place where it all comes together. Even there the story did not
get full attention at first, thanks to the papal excitements at the
The decision by party leaders to abandon battle buses means that there are no logical 'regional tours'

flew to the Midlands and then on to the West Country before returning
to the capital for interviews.

is a national climate of scepticism. In Vote '05 we are reporting on
more sides of more issues and talking to more people of more different
kinds than ever before.
Mark Austin, presenter, ITV Evening News
Broadcasting into the living rooms of Britain is one thing, but
broadcasting from living rooms is quite another. Since the beginning of
the campaign, we have taken the ITV Evening News to the homes of
undecided voters in marginal constituencies.
Hailstones in Tavistock, ghetto-blasting youths in Hinckley
determined to drown us out, and then there was the elderly woman in
Glasgow who told me she was sick of all those home makeover shows and
why didn't we all get lost?
We visited a selection of the
country's so called "golden voters", carefully selected by the
pollsters, Populus. They're the floating voters every party is
desperate to win over and we're calling them our Ballot Box Jurors.
Each night on the Evening News, one of them gives their verdict on the
day's campaigning.
The BBC's political editor Andrew Marr sees no
value in such an exercise, saying it's a waste of time talking to
ordinary people who are "not interested in politics and who won't
vote", writing in The Daily Telegraph recently of the "terrified cringe
of the informed to the ill-informed".
In my view, he's quite simply wrong. Surely it's our job as broadcasters to make politics more accessible.
point about the people who have been selected is that they are going to
vote, they are informed, but have yet to make up their minds. On many
occasions, the Ballot Box Jurors really added to the debate on the
story of the day.
Incidentally, they are also the people who fund
the BBC's election Battle Bus. Hop onto it some time, Andrew, and give
the Westminster village a miss for the day!
Adrian Van Klaveren, deputy director, BBC News
After 2001, the politicians promised next time would be different.
As they move from staged event to news conference, I'm not sure what
they are doing really is. But we're putting far more effort into
finding out what people really are talking about. Whether it's the
election bus on News 24, the Newsnight helicopter or the Breakfast

writing, there's less sign of 21stcentury innovation in the various
parties' electioneering techniques (apart from the odd Photoshop
abuse). I'm not sure the 2005 campaign marks an e-election turning

By integrating functional silos – strategic, tactical and operational – into a cohesive methodology, the entire process can be optimized
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 08, 2013
ORTEC and Tools Group announce a new approach to optimizing supply chains in a webinar:
TOPIC: "Predictive Replenishment – The New Paradigm"
DATE: October 9, 2013
MODERATOR: Kara Romanow, Executive Editor, CGT
PANELISTS: Pat Smith, VP of NA, ToolsGroup
Bobby Miller, Global CPG Strategist, ORTEC
REGISTER: http://consumergoods.edgl.com/web-events/A-New-Predictive-Replenishment-Paradigm---Integrating-Strategic,-Tactical,-and-Operational-Planning-88032
Leading Consumer Goods companies are adopting "Predictive Replenishment" which generates value by integrating strategic, tactical and operational processes. This supply chain planning approach encompasses three functional areas:
- Strategic - Supply Chain Network Design that continuously adapts and links products flows to downstream processes
- Tactical - Demand Management and Inventory Optimization that predicts customer requirements based on demand and POS data
- Operational - Order Management and Transportation Planning that can create perfect orders and shipments
Each of these functions contributes to overall supply chain planning and optimization. However, they are often disparate, with little to no visibility from one function to another. Leading consumer goods companies are boosting business performance by linking these individual, functional silos into a single cohesive methodology. By doing this, they are maximizing supply chain processes and uniquely positioning their business to manage and improve "total cost to serve."
Creating Opportunity from the Top Supply Chain Obstacles
A 2012 Gartner survey of supply chain executives indicates the discontinuity within the optimization and planning processes. It also highlights the opportunity to link these processes to achieve and sustain a new level of supply chain and business value creation. What do companies say is their top obstacle to achieving their supply chain goals? According to the Gartner survey the top four obstacles are: 1. Forecast accuracy and demand variability, 2. Inability to coordinate and synchronize end-to-end Supply Chain processes, 3. Lack of visibility across the Supply Chain, and, 4. Supply Chain network complexity.
"By integrating functional silos – strategic, tactical and operational – into a cohesive methodology, the entire process can be optimized," stated Jeff Wilson, President of ORTEC. "We refer to this type of optimization as Predictive Replenishment. The Predictive Replenishment methodology takes into account business goals, constraints and capabilities resulting in a sustainable approach to improving business performance. ORTEC has helped many customers with this convergence of planning and execution, delivering outstanding results."

As already urged here, and by its own shareholders, VT is talking to Babcock. This suggests a higher offer is likely from Babcock based on higher synergy figures than the £27m already estimated.
The prospect of a higher price is underpinned by the obvious strategic rationale of the deal which will create a new support services group to compete with Capita and Serco, both of which anticipate more public sector outsourcing as the Treasury demands Whitehall savings. In defence services, Babcock is big with the Royal Navy while VT's strength is with the RAF. Both have some work with the army. VT is strong in training, Babcock in facilities management. VT wants to expand in civil nuclear contracts, Babcock is already there. So how much more can VT shareholders expect?
The current price range is 680p-715p. The top end could stretch to 730p a share and Babcock, depending on the synergies it finds, could comfortably fund a bid worth 750p-755p including an increased cash element sweeter than this year's chocolate bunnies.

Today gives me yet another day to gloat about the idiotic college professor I had years ago at Strayer University (yes, avoid this college. It is a waste of time and money). The CEO of Dow Chemical borrowed a page straight out of my economic philosophy and is proving that energy based inflation is a reality, not some idea that deserves a B on my term paper. Dow is going to raise their prices immediately by up to 20%
Dow is just the start too. Energy based inflation starts here. Energy prices increase, putting pressure on businesses to either cut profits or slow down. Traditional economist, aka most college professors, will tell you that energy prices will come back down and everyone will be happy. However, in the real world this doesn't and didn't happen over the last 10 years. The result is that every company in America (except big energy, and miraculously Walmart) is being squeezed to the brink of no ability to make a profit or even be productive at any level.
There is a solution. It isn't cheap, but it wouldn't cost any more than the failed tax rebate of 2008. This solution would provide a long-term solution to the energy crisis in America and heavily stimulate the US economy while building the infrastructure needed.
Where have all those "tax rebates" gone? Hats off to anyone who spends it on anything other than energy.
Not long ago, I wrote a blog about the most idiotic economic political scam of the 2008 election year. Today, I read to stories about our economy that rank up there with the "gas tax vacation".
The first story was about how the Fed has adjusted it's estimates for 2008:
- Economic growth of 0.3 – 1.2%, instead of 1.3 – 2%
- Unemployment rate 5.5 – 5.7%, instead of 5.2 – 5.5%
Good thing they are still running those antiquated economic formulas to give us these otherwise worthless numbers. An added bonus is that the Fed also adjusted their inflation estimate upwards.
There really should be no surprise here folks. Bernanke just needs to start reading my blog to get better guidance on economic policy. I've written about energy-based inflation before. Of course, I even wrote about it years before that in a paper for an upper division economics course I was taking in college. The professor said it was an unrealistic theory.
Why I keep talking about this college professor is because that is what economists are learning in college (not all colleges, of course). Our economists are morons because they were trained to be morons!
Meanwhile, back in the world of ridiculous economic news for May 21, 2008… The other bit of economic news that really got me chuckling today was the news about the oil executives going before Congress again. How many times are we going to have to watch the same FAKE political interrogation? This is a political SCAM. The oil companies are pulling an Enron. Only, the goal is not to get California to sign a ridiculous long-term energy contract… The goal is to get the United States to open land restrictions in Alaska, the Rocky Mountains, and/or the Pacific Ocean so the oil companies can go drilling for oil. Enron is small potatoes compared to this scam.
Economists have fascinated me for decades, so much so that I actually when to school for a degree in economics. After years of bogus economic theory after bogus economic theory, I was still in the game. That's until I predicted that a steady increase in the cost of energy would send the US Economy into an unprecedented type of economic turmoil. I called it Energy Based Inflation in my paper, and subsequently received my first B on a term paper in college.
I even came up with a solution to Energy Based Inflation. Yet, to date, I still see economists following the same failed economic concepts being taught while I was going to school.
Yahoo published an Associated Press article about recent slashing of jobs. The article indicated that a growing number of economists were starting to believe that we were in a recession.
Here is a bit of news to economists: We've been in a recession since at least 4th quarter of 2007. The collapse of the financial market is due to the fact that we financed the recession via our properties, equity, and homes. The Federal Reserve resisted the idea of being in a recession during 2007, and took no action to curb the debt spending taking place. By the 4th quarter, there was no longer any equity in our property and the market began collapsing.
At this point, there is very little that the Fed or the Whitehouse can do to turn this situation around quickly. Prices on homes have plunged so much that it has exacerbated the debt situation. Lowering interest rates won't provide an immediate relief because the prices are too low. It will act more as a tourniquet against the virtual free fall of property value.
If we can fix our economic education system, we can fix the problem long-term. Until we stop teaching the antiquated and failed economic theory of the last 30 years, we'll repeat the same mistakes.
I majored in economics because I thought it was a fascinating subject. Years ago (circa 2003) I was taking an economics class at Strayer University and handed in a paper explaining that our economy was seriously threatened by energy-based inflation. Up until this point in my education, I had received an A on every test and every paper, but this paper on energy-based inflation would the first B grade I received on any economic paper. The professor even mentioned that he was going to give me a C but that I had worded my argument so well that I deserved a B.
His argument was that energy prices generally remain stable and that companies will compensate for any prolonged increase in energy prices. Failing to see the long-term trend towards higher energy consumption was my professor's largest mistake in the analysis of my paper. He also failed to understand the world demand on supplies of energy. So, alas, I get to say I told you so! 😀
I've written a brief explanation of energy-based inflation on Words Cause. The idea is pretty simple. Energy is required at every stage of a product or service, which means that a sustained and rapid increase in the price of energy would severely damage the US economy. Over the last several years, my theory has essentially proven itself to be
correct. Energy prices continue to rise, causing inflationary pressures that the Federal Reserve is powerless to affect.
The Federal Reserve can't do anything about energy-based inflation. Contracting the money supply will only choke the economy (which is what we've seen over the last 2 years since Bernanke has been Fed Chairman). Increasing the money supply will quickly be absorbed by a rapid increase in the price of energy (resulting in ripple inflation). Watch what happens with the recent decrease in interest rates.
So what would be the solution? I'll outline my solution later this week on Words Cause.
It is Fall 2005. I've been teaching swing dance with Denise Gibson at Moorpark College for a couple of semester. We both love West Coast Swing. We've been taking lessons from the world famous Sonny Watson, and we'd both love to bring it more exposure in the college community.
We start teaching beginning West Coast Swing to a beginning ballroom class. Now, for those of you who know anything about West Coast Swing, it is not as easy or simple as some of the other forms of swing. When it is done right, West Coast Swing is the coolest looking dance on the planet. Period.
West Coast Swing, however, is not an easy dance to learn. Nor is it an easy dance to teach, let alone to beginners. Denise and I are doing our best to prepare the students at Moorpark for a 6 week master class in West Coast Swing with Sonny Watson. When Sonny arrives, the students are excited! They are doing a great job. They are struggling but making excellent progress!
Next thing you know, the six weeks are over, Sonny is finished, and the beginning dancers now have 8 weeks to prepare for the dance concert at the end of the semester! Here is the result:
Remember! These are all beginning dancers. Some of these people have never danced a day in their life before this class. Some, this is their very first partnered dance class. For all but a handful, this is the first time they ever heard of West Coast Swing Dance. One semester! Look how clean they are. I'm so proud of how well they all did 😀

I'm a lover of Swing Dance. My first love was Lindy, but West Coast has really stolen my heart. However, I will never forget some of the great memories I've had with Lindy. My first dance teacher, Denise Gibson, has gotten hip with the times. She's posting videos of some of the dances she's put together over the year on youtube.
About 9 months prior to the release of The Pink Panter starring Steve Martin, the Moorpark College Swing Dance Club performed a routine to the Pink Panther Theme. Denise and I choreographed the piece together, and it is one of my favorite pieces I ever did with the MCSDC.

I'm not sure what was in the air around teachers during the early part of 1994. During the same time as the letter below (1994), I had a teacher argue with me over whether one private citizen could sue another private citizen for violating his "civil rights". The evening after I argued with my teacher in front of the class, I spoke with my father regarding this subject.
My father was going to the law library that evening anyway, so he took a little extra time to find me the exact law regarding this particular subject. Clearly stated in the letter of the law was the term "color of state". This term essentially means that civil rights violations apply to the state and local government and government agencies, not an average citizen like you or me.
I brought in the copy of the law that my father had made for me and handed it to my teacher. He apologized in front of everyone and then thanked me for taking the initiative to follow through on the pursuit of education.
Well, this wasn't the case with the teacher at some school in some town, who knows where? Just take a look at this letter posted on entensity.
I had to do a double take when I read this. WHAT!?! My favorite part is the second to last paragraph:
Although he was correct, Alex's actions show a blatant disregard for authority, and a complete lack of respect for his school. In the future, Alex would be better off simply accepting my teachings without resistance.
Honestly, this is impressive. I give this teacher the honorary 1994 lame a$$ of the year award. Thank gawd for kids like Alex. Thank gawd that there are people who are not willing to just listen to an arrogant teacher who believes that we should simply accept his/her "teachings without resistance." Thank gawd that we have people who are willing to stand up to authority figures who are clearly in the wrong.
While this is a rather trivial issue (especially since the great metric takeover never took place), it is an excellent example of the arrogance of some teachers. By no means am I suggesting that all teachers are like this. As my example from my own schooling shows, there are teachers who are willing to support the pursuit of education rather than their own ego and control issues.
Damn! Now I need to go find my inner peace. This kind of stuff really gets me riled up. I hope Alex's teachers brought this letter to the principal's attention. If that didn't work, I hope they brought it to the super intendant's attention. If that didn't work, I hope they brought it to the state board of education. If that didn't work, I hope they stated civil unrest in whatever town they were in! Alright, I think I've vented enough. My inner fields of daisies have been found. 😀

Description of the book "The Rule of Law":'The Rule of Law' is a phrase much used but little examined. The idea of the rule of law as the foundation of modern states and civilisations has recently become even more talismanic than that of democracy, but what does it actually consist of? In this brilliant short book, Britain's former senior law lord, and one of the world's most acute legal minds, examines what the idea actually means. He makes clear that the rule of law is not an arid legal doctrine but is the foundation of a fair and just society, is a guarantee of responsible government PDF, is an important contribution to economic growth and offers the best means yet devised for securing peace and co-operation. He briefly examines the historical origins of the rule, and then advances eight conditions which capture its essence as understood in western democracies today. He also discusses the strains imposed on the rule of law by the threat and experience of international terrorism. The book will be influential in many different fields and should become a key text for anyone interested in politics, society and the state of our world.

APTOS, Calif. -- The $600 contraption drills home some basic laws of physics, and the importance of energy conservation, but also provides a way for students to get some light exercise.
In August 2008, Cabrillo College in Aptos, Calif., received a five-year grant from the National Science Foundation to create a series of programs aimed at getting more students to pursue careers in math and the sciences. Last year, some of that grant money was used to create an "energy bike," which provides a stark, visual demonstration of just how much more energy is required to light an incandescent light bulb compared with its fluorescent counterpart.
"It is a wonderful educational tool to connect a student in a very kinetic way to understanding energy demands of different appliances and energy transfer," Susan Tappero, a math instructor and director of the MESA (Math, Engineering, Science Achievement) program, wrote in an email.
A group of Cabrillo students worked for about seven months to build the bike, whose parts alone cost about $600. They mounted an old bicycle onto a wooden platform, then attached a 12-volt motor and electrical cord to the rear wheel.
The other end of the cord is plugged into an outlet installed on the top of a wooden box, surrounded by two rows of incandescent and fluorescent light bulbs. An inverter inside the box transforms the energy, and the entire bank of fluorescent lights up with virtually no pedal effort required. But getting even one incandescent bulb to light up takes considerably more effort, like switching from fifth gear to first gear on a regular bicycle.
"You just don't get that (kind of understanding) over a table of numbers," Tappero said.
In addition to building the bike, the students also created a handbook with step-by-step instructions so others can build their own. To view a demonstration of how an energy bike works, go to www.cabrillosteep.org.
Last week, the bicycle was donated to Joe Manildi, who's taught physics at Aptos High School since 2005. In the fall, he plans to use the bike as a teaching tool for students in his classes, but it also will be available for use in other classrooms and school districts throughout the county.
Though the energy bike will be used as a classroom tool, it also can be used, at least in theory, to power everything from a small, old-style television set to cell phone chargers. Eventually, Manildi said, he hopes to have his own students create their own, using the one Cabrillo donated as a model.
"Whenever we talk about energy and power, we can take it out and have a real demonstration, because energy can be a pretty abstract concept," he said.

The best band Canada has ever produced is Hedley. Earlier this month, the four piece pop-rock group, released their first single in a while, "Lost In Translation."

The group's sixth studio album is titled "Hello" and it is slated for a November 6th release, via Universal Music Canada. "Lost In Translation" follows in the vein of previous Hedley songs in that it listening to it almost immediately turns into a jam session.

The USPTO refused registration of the mark MORO in the design form shown below left, for "olive oil," finding the mark likely to cause confusion with the registered marks MORO in standard characters and MORO RESTAURANTS & Design (below right) for "restaurant and catering services." The Board noted that there is no per se rule dictating a likelihood of confusion between a mark for food items and a similar mark for restaurant services Something more must be shown. How do you think this came out? In re Conga Foods Pty Ltd., Serial No. 86261786 (April 8, 2016) [not precedential].
Click here to view image.
The Board focused on the cited standard character mark MORO. It noted that "something more" has been found when "the mark for restaurant service made clear that the restaurant specialized in the identified food goods" (E.g., COLOMBIANO COFFEE HOUSE and COLUMBIAN for coffee). Or when the restaurant's wines were actually sold in applicant's restaurant (OPUS ONE for wines confusable with the identical mark for restaurant services). Or when the mark was a "very unique, strong mark" (MUCKY DUCK for mustard confusable with MUCKY DUCK for restaurant services).
The examining attorney submitted evidence of third-party registration and use of a single mark for both edible oils and restaurant services. The Board found the evidence relevant, but it "did not show that the goods and services originate from the same source or that there is an association or connection with the sources of the goods and services." [Not clear why not - ed.].
The cited mark does not indicate that registrant specializes in olive oil as a type of food. The fact that olive oil may be an ingredient in some of the items on Registrant's menu is not enough, by itself, to support a Section 2(d) refusal. "That is, use of a term referring to an ingredientin some dishes does not carry the same weight as use of a term referring to an entire type of food, such as Mexican food, or to a complete product, like pancakes or coffee." (The Board noted that the result here might have been different if registrant specialized in olive-based cuisine.)
As to the strength of the cited mark, the Board did not find MORO to be a "very unique, strong mark," or "unique or memorable."
Finally, there was no evidence that registrant sells applicant's olive oil in its restaurants or via its catering services.
The Board concluded that the USPTO had failed to prove the "something more" required to support the refusal, and so it reversed.

Before & After Facelift 32
Patient Info
Procedure(s): Mini Facelift
Correction: Jowls and Neck
Results: Natural and Beautiful
This wonderful patient wanted to have improvement in her neck and jowls without changing her entire face too drastically. A mini facelift with local anesthesia and twilight sedation was recommended to her. Her procedure was successful taking just under two hours to complete and her recovery time was quick, taking under one week to heal. In this photo she is 8 weeks post op with a natural look and a smooth neck.
Mini facelift is economically and surgically more sound for people who want to have a soft and natural look. It is important to note that a minimally invasive facelift is still surgical, so patients must be healthy, just hidden incisions allows patients to avoid the normal two to three weeks it can take to heal from a full facelift. Just a local anesthetic is needed, so patients can also avoid the risk of a general anesthesia.
Results may vary

The armed men now standing in front of the Winter's Guardians wore armor that was nearly made entirely of metal. With the man in front wearing full plate with the exception of his helmet. Cloaks of red and black fur covered them, and the symbol of a black boar was clearly shown on their chests.
Rainer heard Erik beside him swear under his breath, "Damned Baron Lodran's men."
Using[Appraisal] on the group, he noticed they all had the class of [Soldier]. Other than the one in front, all were level 3 and below. None of the group were particularly young, looking as Rainer's seniors by at least 15-20 years.
[Human, Male, Soldier lvl 9]
I suppose it's quite common to see people stuck at the levels where the experience needed is multiplied greatly.
The level 9 [Soldier] seemed to be the leader of the group and also the oldest with his short gray hair.
Rainer could right away tell this was going to be annoying and he immediately made his armed bolts return to their brighter form that shone strongly amid even the midday sun. Though soon after, he gave the situation no more thought, realizing his lack of words would be just as useful, if not more, given the status of mages. In truth, he just wanted to appraise the rest of the townspeople within eyesight while this discussion went on.
Yet to the leader of Baron Lodran's men the bolts had a much larger effect than intended. Leaf was the first to speak up after a minor staring contest.
"How can we help you lovely boys? You're looking a bit grayer since last I saw you, Lance," He said, referring to the full-plated man.
One of the men stepped forward before being immediately stopped by Lance. He gave a pointed look to the man before wondering how someone with combat experience couldn't understand the situation in front of them. Lance gave a quick glance over to the new mage of the Winter's Guardians before the objective of their visit completely changed.
"We merely wish to remind you to behave, even if the Hunter's Guild has set up here, you are still within Baron Lodran's territory."
Leaf gave a cheeky smile understanding the situation and with an exuberant bow responded back, "Of course us Winter's Guardians are the most upstanding members of society."
Lance just gave a sigh and ordered his men to make way. As the Winter's Guardians walked towards the Hunter's Guild, their earlier killed boar in tow, Lance called out once more, this time towards their mage.
"If you require any assistance while in our territory Lord Magus, you may find us and in a few days our lord within the manor over there." Lance said while pointing towards a half-built mansion.
Rainer just gave a simple wave, not wanting to offend either side. He had no idea what kind of forces a Lord would have. And so, he saw no reason to make an enemy.
Seeing he neither accepted nor rejected his offer had actually pleased Lance. Whatever debt the mage had with the Winter's Guardians, it didn't extend to being an enemy of their enemy. Lance could see no other way they could attract someone who gave off such a feeling of power with a simple looking spell other than a debt of some sort.
"Captain? What was wrong with you being respectful to that household conjurer using a light spell, our orders were…"
A single stern look from Lance shut him up. Lance soon realized that no one other than him felt exactly how big the energy was coming off that magic. Though he lacked an ability to sense mana, years on the battlefield left a sixth sense in relation to magic.
If he was just a random rogue mage with a few cantrips to his name that was one thing and not too uncommon in Monster Hunter groups. But those bolts were most certainly not a simple light. He had to be from a guild or clan and whatever debt he had with the Winter's Guardians to help them Lance decided to wait it out until it was over.
Or better yet, they die with the purpose they came here for…
Rainer, now entering the Hunter's Guild, had given little thought to the encounter. No one around him seemed eager to explain either. Remembering the classes and levels he saw, he realized that apart from those [Soldiers], everyone in this town had either no class or a non-combat one. Things like [Mason] [Laborer] [Architect]. Though, that changed as he looked around the Hunter's Guild.
While Rainer still didn't see any rare classes within the guild, there seemed to be several other groups that came with the same purpose as them. There was a single [Physician] behind the counter, but he didn't seem to be a part of any group. Out of the dozens, there were only 3 that had reached level 4, if you counted the level 6 ancient looking [Physician]. One also being an old and hagged level 6 [Hunter] and another a level 4 half-elven [Archer].
Rainer imagined this was a concentration of talents for a newly opened dungeon seeking a greater fate, and most of the population likely resembled the workers outside.
He had also momentarily gotten excited at finally seeing an Elf, but it seemed that half part was far less than a half. Other than a young face his ears were pointed, but not enough to be really considered inhuman. No one other than Rainer may even know he was a [Half-Elf, Half-Human].
The group split off, most going to help sell the Monstrous Black Boar along with other goods, with Kara doing some heavy lifting. Leaf led Rainer over to a counter where a middle-aged bald man presided. Currently, he organized some paperwork.
"Hey Riv what'd you do to get shipped out here?" Leaf spoke out familiarly.
Riv gave a small glance to Rainer's now dimmed armed [Arcane Bolts], but, like to most, they only looked like a strange light spell.
"Looks like you finally found someone to perform some minor dungeon spells for ya. He need to register?"
"You didn't answer my question Riv," Leaf in his usual form joked around.
But Riv simply disregarded him and went to the back to likely grab whatever was needed for a new member to join.
"I'm not sure antagonizing the person who can make us spend all day here waiting is the best idea Leaf."
"Nah, he'll want me gone as soon as possible. Besides, he's a friend."
"Leaf, those two things are mutually exclusive…"
But Leaf just continued leaning on the counter waiting for Riv to return. Coming back quickly, Riv returned with a contract and two metal plates. One of which was on a chain.
"The Hunter's Guild has numerous functions. One of which is handling wills and helping groups enter dungeons together without being separated. That's what these plates are for. They'll show your class and your level and they'll show when the holder has been killed. And the important feature is that they'll show which group you belong to. They'll only work for those officially approved by the guild, and stealing them is a capital crime in most countries, including this one."
Rainer gave Leaf a confused look before Leaf guessed what the problem was.
"Ah, but don't worry, the class shown is only general. It'll list you as either a Fighter, Magic-Caster, Support, or Ranged."
Rainer was going to use [Appraisal] on it either way. While reading the contract, he used the skill.
[Hunter's Guild Identification Plate: Allows one to join a group of 15 or fewer members in Raiding a dungeon. In special circumstances more than one group can also join together.]
[Hunter's Guild Validating Plate: Allows the holder to determine whether the partnered card's user is alive or dead as well as validity of partnered card.]
He wanted to ask Leaf how you would enter as a group without these, specifically because there was no reason to limit it to 15 unless it was an inborn dungeon limit. Riv, seeing Rainer now focused on the two plates, explained with a bit of pride in his voice.
"Impressive aren't they Magus? There is magic that can have the same effect that you can learn from a World Tree Dungeon, but most never bother ever since the Skyborn Mages Guild started selling these to us quite cheaply. Likely the only enchanted item most of us lay people will ever hold."
Rainer inspected them a little longer, but he saw nothing to suggest tampering. He also had no idea how to register himself to it.
"Just place your thumb on the plate with the chain attached and allow it to see your level." Riv timely said.
Similar to how he shared his status with Luna, Rainer instead very carefully made sure to only share his level, but he soon felt a tiny tug on his mind reaching for more. It was the tiniest of tugs, most may have dismissed it or not even noticed it. But Rainer noticed.
Mobilizing his mana and the traces of Arcane Energy within it, he fought against the strange force that increased as he defended against it. Riv and Leaf watching only saw Rainer taking longer than usual to register. Soon the force resided and failed to accomplish its task as Rainer received a message. The metal plate now displayed the intended information [Magic-Caster lvl 6].
Riv couldn't help but exclaim seeing Rainer's level.
"Well hell Leaf, you might really have a shot at this unlike these chumps here with this Magus of yours. Or is it Lord Magus?" Riv said to the displeasure of the people around, that could very much hear him.
Rainer looked at the two now understanding how Leaf considered Riv his friend.
"Lord Magus shall do," Rainer said figuring it would keep anyone from bothering them.
He hung the metal plate on his neck and, after a full read over, signed the contract as there didn't seem to be any magic in it. The contents simply stated they weren't responsible for your death or harm.
"Alright, then Riv, me and Rainer here be heading over to the Inn. You'll have to tell me how they stuck you here later tonight. Just put Rainer's registration fee on the Winter's Guardians tab."
Following Leaf as he walked out of the guild, Rainer furrowed his brow as he stared at the message that appeared.
[Skill Gained: Mental Resistance lvl 1/10]
He was furious, to say the least. Prior to this message appearing, he had been about to lose. He didn't know what was the enchantment contained in that plate, but it definitely wasn't related to just his level and class. The only thing that calmed him down was that he benefited from it.
"Rainer," Leaf suddenly spoke, no longer jovial as he was before.
"Before the rest of the group gets to our rooms in the inn, let's have a talk, yeah?"
"Lead the way," Rainer guessed it might be related to who he really was. He could understand not wanting to trust your back to someone you didn't really know.
The inn was more representative of a boarding house, likely containing dozens upon dozens of rooms. Rainer was truly impressed at how fast all this was built. Perhaps being a high-level laborer truly had an effect?
Walking up to the counter, Leaf received 7 room keys having sent in a reservation with the Hunters Guild the moment it was heard that a dungeon was discovered here. Then after putting down a silver looking coin, he received an eighth key Rainer assumed was intended for him.
"Come on, I got you a room right next to mine, we can talk in there."
Heading up the stairs and down a long hallway, Rainer revised the real story he would tell, mixing in as much truth as possible in case Leaf had any talent for detecting lies. Within the room were 2 beds on opposite sides and nothing really else besides its wooden floor. Rainer entered and, after closing the door behind him, waited for Leaf to speak first. Said man currently staring out of the window.
Leaf breathed out a bit before he began speaking, still facing outside, "I'll get right down to it, less the rest return early. I need to know your actual background, Rainer. Dungeons are a dangerous place, far more than you realize, especially one that has little information available on it. All of us have accepted we might not come back," Leaf turned around to face Rainer.
"But if you don't come back what happens to us or our families? Is there going to be someone very displeased with such a case? You haven't exactly hidden your presence in this place, it wouldn't be hard to track you here."
Rainer sat on a bed, half faking and half truly mourning as he finished planning out his story.
"I had gone along with you all considering me being a Lord Magus but in truth, I am but a homeless wanderer. My master…" He said recalling his grandfather that he may never see again, "Had passed and I left seclusion to go out into the world through a magic portal at the now empty tower I stayed in. I know not where I came out from, but soon I found myself within that forest. Then I had run into the rest of you. There is no one expecting nor searching for me, not any in this world."
Rainer's guess that Leaf could discern lies was partially true. But Rainer's half-truths had mostly convinced him.
"I'm sorry for your loss lad, and I'd advise keeping this to yourself unless you want one of the boys to get drunk and blab about how we have an unaffiliated mage of insane talent. Then you'd have the mage guilds looking to recruit you or kill you if you join their enemies."
Rainer put on a smile glad there weren't going to be any issues.
"So why exactly is an unaffiliated mage so valuable?" He had some idea but he'd like to confirm it.
"You asked the right person lad, my older sister actually was recruited by a minor Mages Guild. Though she mostly does simpler work in a lab all day, hardly a mage compared to you."
"Work in a lab all day huh…" Rainer thought a bit wistfully. He quite enjoyed travel but at the same time, he'd love to take a break and just study magic.
"Put simply, most magic is controlled by the various guilds, clans, and royalty. When it comes to guilds, betraying your guild instantly makes you a pariah at best, a criminal at worst. Anyone who officially hires you would be making themselves an enemy of all the mage guilds who operate in the open. Same with trying to spread any of the magic you learned from them. Of course, retiring to a court mage or similar position is common. But without the approval of your guild, spreading anything you learned there would result in being heavily punished," Leaf continued on a bit grimly, "It was only 6 years ago actually that the former Kingdom of Talon challenged this. As you can guess by the former it went about as well as anyone expected. They gathered many of these outcast mages and attempted to create a powerful force. Not only did all the neighboring kingdoms invade, all the nearby mage guilds assisted. It was an unprecedented massacre."
"That isn't to say there aren't organizations and mages outside of this, but it's a rare thing and they are often filled with mages that practice the not so savory kinds of magic."
Rainer thought a moment before speaking, "Yeah, it's best no one ever finds out."
"Not the type to do well with authority?"
"So when we leaving for the dungeon?"
"Everyone here is likely playing chicken, waiting for the first group to go and then buy their information on it. We've already decided to enter the day after we got here. The rest of the group will be purchasing supplies after they've sold the boar. I'll keep your share for ya till we leave the dungeon."
"Before I forget hand me your plate I'll add you to our group," Rainer handed it over and soon received a message.
[Join the Winter's Guardians? Y/N]
Rainer hit yes.
[Winter's Guardians. Slots filled: 13/15]
"Just use our tab you should be able to get anything you need from Hunters Guild related places. You got any issue with going tomorrow morning?"
"None," Rainer said a bit of excitement in his voice.
"Good, I'll tell Kara where your room is, maybe you'll have a late night visit." Leaf said back to his usual self.
Rainer stood and headed to walk out but not before giving a reply. It was no secret they spent their nights together, though not doing what Leaf insinuated.
"Speak in such way about my teacher and I won't forgive you," He spoke in mock seriousness before heading to his room. His was similar to Leaf's having two beds with little space, though Rainer had it to himself.
After locking his door, Rainer sat cross legged on the left bed and thought over new spells to create. Manipulation of elements and energy was truly a wonderful thing, and likely a rare thing, lest mage guilds likely wouldn't exist. At least not in their current form that depended on monopolizing spells.
Rainer would use [Sleep Learning] on [Weightless Blade Mastery] and [General Blade Mastery] once again. He didn't believe that a dungeon would truly be dangerous for him as it was for others and opted to keep his magic spells and skills available for gaining experience.
As he was thinking over what spell to create, Luna fluttered out of his pocket rubbing her eyes before sitting down on his left knee.
"Ah, it's been so long since Luna talked to Rainer." She said while stretching her arms.
"We talked last night. And every night before I went to sleep…"
"It's not the same, Luna doesn't like being so quiet."
"So whats up?"
"Mana!" She said while reaching out her arms towards Rainer as if he was going to use them to pick her up. But of course at only 7 inches, he just scooped her up in his palm.
He had given mana to her several times after the first but he finally noticed a minor change.
"Did you grow a little taller again Luna?"
"Luna did! Luna is amazing right? Soon Luna will be bigger than Rainer and can do whatever she wants to Rainer."
"Is that supposed to happen?"
"Luna doesn't know. It's never happened before since..." She paused a moment before stopping.
"Anyways Luna doesn't know. Rainer's mana is just tasty and special."
Rainer wanted to ask about her past, but didn't feel tonight would be the right moment anyways.
"Luna, before we start, can I take you with me into the dungeon?"
"Oh Rainer means the group limit? It's no issue since Luna is Rainer's."
He assumed she meant their familiar bond. Like before, Rainer began channeling mana into a relaxed Luna. She laid back, a bit more comfortable about it than before. Looking at her enjoying herself, Rainer jokingly wondered if this was similar to romance for fairies hence her being annoyed by Kara. After a final loud breath and slight moan, she had finished receiving mana.
Then again it could just be her personality…
Luna ended up falling asleep at the end of it and Rainer gently slipped her into the padded pocket in his coat. Still sitting cross-legged, Rainer focused all his attention on a space in the middle of his palms. Slowly he gathered Arcane energy and formed a ball of it as best he could, not using a containing field like with an [Arcane Bolt].
Rainer took the time to make sure it was stabilized before he began using mana to manipulate fire onto the surface of the Arcane energy. Slowly but surely, the ball of fire and arcane formed, Rainer now controlling it a bit away from him. As it was now, it wasn't really anything. The fire would likely snuff out and the bolt itself may not even reach the target before collapsing.
Yet this was only the first step. Maintaining the fire and energy for a while, Rainer pondered over which of the new runes and spell formula he gained would cause this phenomenon. Everytime he created a new spell with Manipulation, the system gave him the formula for it. It becoming intuitive actually made it difficult for Rainer to use it to make new spells, however.
Getting a few ideas of how he would replicate this odd ball of fire and arcane Rainer dissipated it. Rainer reached into his pocket and grabbed a few scrolls of paper Luna had made for him prior. He only needed to use the tiniest bit of mana on his finger and he could write on them. Erasing was a similar affair, only the intent differed.
He spent the rest of the night trying to create the spell formula for that first step of his grand spell before falling asleep. Ever so slightly disappointed, he didn't get a night-time visitor.
The Winter's Guardians stood outside the grand shrine-like entrance of the dungeon. They had opted not to take any baggage carriers with them on the simple premise no one was willing. Most of the group each carried a decent amount of supplies with the exception of Rainer and Kara.
The entrance itself stood over 50 feet tall and seemed to coalesce to a void-like black doorway at its very end, the true entrance. Slowly climbing up the steps, Rainer stood in the center of the group with the [Archers] and a single [Warrior] behind him. [Warriors] and [Hunters] in front of him with Leaf and Kara at the very lead.
One by one they entered, their plates magically connecting them, and soon ventured into a world beyond their own.

Spicer has brought up an excellent that has the corrupt media machine scrabbling to defend Obama as to why he did not punish China for their massive hack of the American people.
Fox News reports Sean Spicer, the incoming White House communications director, suggested Sunday that President Obama's imposing Russian sanctions related to email hacking was politically motivated, considering China recently did far worse without punishment.
"Maybe it was; maybe it wasn't," Spicer said on ABC's "This Week." "China took over a million records. And a White House statement wasn't even issued. … So there is a question about whether there's a political retribution here versus a diplomatic response."
Obama, a Democrat leaving office next month after two terms, has insisted the hacking probe is non-political, saying, "There is no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections that we need to take action."

Interior Design Office
This project involved selecting materials for an interior design office using the existing layout. The office required a new workstation, seating area for clients and a storage solution for the printer, paper and other office supplies. Since the space is a rental, a unique wall treatment was created with paint - it mimics the look of wallpaper, but can easily be covered at the end of the lease. A large walnut cabinet with a handcrafted panel front conceals the printer and provides ample storage. A new sofa and loveseat in easy-to-clean leather and microfiber are anchored by a natural wool rug which is repellent to dirt, soiling and debris. Wrought iron cubes are topped with glass and can be reconfigured into coffee tables and side tables should the layout need to change. Pops of aqua and turquoise are carried from the oversized abstract artwork into pillows for the furniture pieces. An affordable and flexible Ikea desk pairs with a simple black task chair to create a welcoming reception area.

Founded by close friends Don Clark and brothers Ron and Bill Fenech (each having over 25 years of experience in the RV industry). Although they have lead some of the most successful companies in the RV industry, and are proud of their accomplishments at Keystone RV, they recognized that it was becoming more difficult to stay in touch with the needs of customers, employees, and the products being built.
So, in 2011 they began pursuing their dream of reconnecting on a more personal level with customers and dealers. The result of that pursuit is Grand Design RV. A company designed to create recreational vehicles that provide more features, better designs and unparalleled customer support!

Hi all, I'm Nicola. I usually blog at isayimposterista but today I'm moonlighting over here. Now, anyone who knows me will know that I am OB-SESSED with carousels, who wouldn't be right? So when I was trying to decide on a post for Carousel Diary, I thought, hey! I'll do a "what I'd wear to the Great British seaside" post, because when I think of the seaside, I think of carousels.
I went for the 60s look with this Dahlia dress, and kept to the look with the satchel and the loafers. I love straw boaters, they just scream seaside to me, and I finished off the look with some blue ankle socks, cat eye sunglasses and some lovely coral lipstick. To me, a perfect sea air breathing, ice cream eating, carousel riding outfit, no?
I'll let you in on a little secret; I actually bought this dress yesterday as a little treat to myself for finishing uni forever. Hooray! I can't wait for it to come, maybe I'll wear it to the seaside next time I go.
