Tiny's Fans & Friends Fiercely Defend Her Against T.I.'s 'Distraction' Diss — See Loyal Tweets
Nothing stings quite like hearing your 7-year marriage described as a 'distraction.' That's why Tiny's friends and fans are freaking out on April 12 after T.I. savagely dissed their relationship. See the messages here!
Tameka 'Tiny' Harris, 41, isn't the only one who's pissed off by 36-year-old rapper T.I. calling her a "distraction!" The reality star's friend Sabrina Peterson took to Instagram to defend her girl, writing "Dear Self, don't give a man your good years, become a felon for him, let go of friends, give up your career to support his, don't be too loyal because one day he might get to where y'all worked too hard to be and consider you a "DISTRACTION." Love always, Me." Dayum!
Sabrina continued the thrashing in her caption, saying: "Get your money! & love God his hands are unchanging but these men ain't ish. #girlgang #dontquityourdaydream." We're so glad that Tiny has such supportive friends in the face of all this drama. And that's not all! Fans rushed to her defense on Twitter as well.
Here are some of their best tweets:
T.I. & Tiny: See Pics Of The Former Couple
TI & Tiny both cheated on each other multiple times. But for him to call her a distraction after she held it down felony & all… is foul.

T.I. said marriage to Tiny was a distraction.
I can see how it would be distracting when he wanted to concetrate on cheating.

Tiny deadass took a drug charge for TI & he called her a distraction. Damn.
— Noob Saibot (@MommaAfro_) April 12, 2017
I find it funny that TI is distracted by issues in his marriage considering his infidelity is among the issues he created.
— BlueIvy'sBabyHair (@ImaniOrWhatever) April 12, 2017
Tiny financed TI's career and raised his illegitimate, outside of their marriage ass babies and he called her a distraction….
— Khal Draghoe (@brownandbella) April 12, 2017
T.I. kicked off the drama on April 11 when he said "Marriage is going to distract me and deter me from taking my family onward and upward. I don't always have time to do the thoughtful things a husband does. It could be seen as selfish, but I have a hard time seeing something as selfish if it helps so many other people." Uh okay? He followed up by saying "I can be a better best friend than a husband, it's just the truth." We're sure Tiny disagrees.
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of fans and friends defending Tiny? Are they right? Let us know!

Chattel mortgage finance is a commercial finance product that enables a financier to lend money to your business to purchase energy efficiency equipment (chattel). You repay the loan via regular instalments. You own the equipment at the time of purchase, while the financier takes a mortgage over the equipment. Once the final instalment has been paid to the financier, the equipment's asset title is transferred to the customer.
No upfront capital or security
Chattel mortgage loans may enable a business to undertake energy efficiency upgrades without having to find up-front capital or security.
Realising savings now
Businesses that use finance for their energy efficiency projects can realise immediate cash flow benefits. Energy efficiency projects can result in higher savings than loan costs.
Tax and accounting
As the business owns the asset, the business may be able to claim depreciation of the asset. As the business pays interest on the debt, the interest may be deductable at the company tax rate. Seek specific tax and accounting advice for your particular situation.
Project risk
As the business is considered the owner of the asset, the business bears the risk associated with owning the asset. To secure the loan, the financier may seek security of existing business assets.
Businesses can also receive a discount on energy efficient products that are installed by accredited Victorian Energy Upgrade (VEU) providers. A list of these products and providers can be found on the ESI website.
Visit https://www.victorianenergysaver.vic.gov.au/victorian-energy-upgrades for more information.
The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) has developed chattel mortgage finance offering with co-financiers, which specifically targets the energy efficiency needs of small business, manufacturers, the agricultural sector and small-scale commercial property.
The chattel mortgage loan identifies new technologies that meet the CEFC's investment guidelines and offers a capital lease with 0.7% discount comparable to standard chattel mortgage products. This program is offered by This program is offered by a range of financiers. Visit https://www.cefc.com.au/where-we-invest/asset-finance.aspx for more information.

A lively plantation
The plantation is abuzz with activity. The budget is being debated, or shall we say, the samfy artists are at work. The political operatives are testing the potency of the brew that has been consumed in large quantities. The board of governors for the estate all seek to be named favourites by the chant of 'I'm the master's favourite'.
The Peter Principle is on display. The quest to be the 'master's favourite' will push people to do anything to protect those to whom they answer. It is the programme of the so called sovereign nation. We are the masters of our own destiny. We accumulated the debt and mismanaged the loan proceeds, therefore, we must bear the lashes as we force the labour to give more to earn for the overseer, the label, the 'master's favourite'.
When the whip is cracked in anticipation of the lashes, some of those to be flogged are already dead, others comatose and one in five are barely living below the poverty line. The promises made are discarded without even consultation as they scramble for the coveted label.
In the name of efficiency, the overseers will seek to make sure there is full extraction of $52 billion of new taxes and the an increase of $22 billion in the previously applicable taxes from we the survivors. It will never happen. The economy is in recession and all the convoluted statements to the contrary cannot wish that fact away. You cannot successfully create a variation on the laws of economics just so. Two consecutive quarters of decline in the GDP equals recession.
There has been no talk of the productivity levels in the economy. If our productivity does not increase we cannot generate wealth.
The head of the overseers group is still to contribute to the budget debate and one must fear the contribution. When the prime minister makes the statement she did regarding the accountability of the head of the NSWMA for the fire at Riverton, you must cringe. The executive director of the NSWMA should be defended but the manner left a lot to be desired. The intent to demonstrate the concept of accountability was clearly misunderstood. This is not singular, as I am reliably informed that even if the Court of Appeals ruling is against the actions of the holder of the Constitutional office as Leader of the Opposition, he has no intention of resigning. Let us not speculate, the ruling is expected this coming week, and then story will come to bump.
The occupants of the plantation weep. The lashes, the scarcity of necessities, the hustlers compete in a scarce market and the articulate minority call for a new layer of governance that they control without the requisite accountability. If the economy implodes then Mr Byles and his group bear no blame. If the energy fix gets delayed or does not prove feasible, Dr Lawrence and his group bear no personal responsibility. They would have only been the second layer of failure following the relevant cabinet minister.
Could it be that the rising level of frustration and helplessness which plagues the land has led to 248 murders to date vs 205 for the comparable period in 2014? Maybe I am the drowning man clutching at the straw. The picture is bleak.
The political appointees also seem to be on a frolic of their own. There are unsubstantiated reports that, regarding the decision not to renew the contract of the executive director of the NSWMA, there was no vote of the board, the relevant Cabinet minister was not consulted, and that the relevant junior minister heard the news through the media. The prime minister has already opined on the folly of calling for the removal of the executive director. We await the eventual outcome. Much is at stake. The people on the plantation weep and on this matter the smoke from the burning dump/landfill/solid waste depository/ all add to the misery.

Why I Love Houston...Feasting on Airline Drive
For fixing a fiesta at home, we love to stroll the stalls at Canino's Produce Market to pick up all the essentials. Open 7 days a week, from 6 am - 8 pm, the market's generous hours makes it easy to plan a trip here. The covered area of the market features fresh fruit and vegetables with a mixture of local and global origins. As you move into the open stall area of the market, rows of of cactus paddles (nopales), tamale husks, and spices, especially the famous Mexican mole seasonings provide colorful eye candy. Many vendors offer samples, as well as having ready-made items for sale, like spicy fruit cocktails in a cup seasoned with chile powder for a refreshing shopping snack. If you are craving something savory, stop by Taqueria Tacambaro, located outside the open market area, for crunchy, cheesy gorditas.
My husband, Nick, likes to stop across the street at Flores' Spice and Trading Co. to shop their thorough selection of spices and herbs to make his signature spice rubs. Jean-Luc loves the cheerful pinatas that greet you at the front door. Next door is El Bolillo Bakery, where we like to select a variety of sweets for dessert. Bags of wedding cookies dusted in powdered sugar, trays upon trays stacked high with pan dulce (sweet bread), fruit-filled empanadas, freshly made Ding Dongs, and churros await the aluminum trays and tongs, which you use to make your haul.
Another frequent stop is family-friendly Bellissimo. This casual Italian eatery serves up everything from homemade pastas to pizzas to traditional entrees, like Ossobuco. We love to share an order of the eggplant parmesan and the red snapper. Both are to die for!
Nothing beats a classic diner breakfast or lunch and Triple A Restaurant is just that! This family owned and operated joint has been serving Southern style home-cooking to generations of Houstonians. Stepping inside is like a time-warp as little has changed since my first visit years ago. The service is always friendly and the food is fresh and made with love.
Bon Appetit!

BEDFORD HILLS, N.Y. – Conny Ketting, a longtime Bedford Hills resident, died Nov. 30 from complications of a stroke she had in May. She was 87.
Ketting was born Sept. 16, 1925, in Surabaya, Netherlands East Indies (present day Indonesia). Her father, Cornelis Van Rossen, was a governor of several provinces on the island of Java.
After the outbreak of World War II, Ketting spent three and a half years in five different Japanese concentration camps and suffered malnutrition. In 1946, she and her parents left for the Netherlands. She obtained a teaching degree in the Hague.
Ketting immigrated to the U.S. in 1949 to continue her studies at Columbia University Teachers College. The next year, she married Jaap Ketting.
Shortly after getting married, the couple moved toBedford Hills, where Ketting remained for 62 years. She was a past member of the Bedford Hills Woman's Club. She loved nature and the outdoors and maintained a large collection of well-stocked bird feeders in her yard.
Her husband died in April.
Ketting is survived by her son, Jaap Jan, of Princeton, N.J.; and her daughter-in-law, Regina; a sister-in-law, Cornelia aan de Wiel, of Rotterdam, Netherlands; and two grandchildren.
Visitation is from 10 a.m. to noon, Dec. 15 at Clark Associates Funeral Home in Katonah. A private cremation was held.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Bedford Hills Historical Museum, P.O. Box 331, Bedford Hills, NY 10507.

For the second edition of Millesima Tips, we are going to focus on an important aspect of the wine-making process. No two grapes taste alike. We are going to closely examine several different grape varietals and understand how it translates to what we find in our glasses.
Grapes & vines
Grapes can be enjoyed as a summer snack or in a bottle of the finest wine. The grapes used are different, based on the intended consumption. Table grapes are firm and have a crisp pulp. Grapes used for wine-growing have more juice and acidity. Grape varietals are different vines that are distinguishable by their leaves, berries, the shape of the berries and their colors. Each varietal has its own expression which corresponds to their unique odors and flavors.
Ampelography is the term for studying grape varieties, or the science of grape varieties. It allows us to observe and understand the differences between different grape varietals. Simon de Rojas Clemente y Rubio (19th century), Count Alexandre Odart (mid-19th century) and Louis Levadoux (20th century) grouped together the several French grapes into different families. Count Odart noticed that there were grape varieties that had, "one or more characteristics in common." Levadoux's work and research was confirmed in the 1990s by Montpellier's INRA and University of California at Davis.
So in France, the 210 authorized grape varieties are classified in families (and sub-types):
- Alpins (Mollard)
- Carmenets (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Fer Servadou, Merlot, Petit Verdot)
- Chenins (Bequignol, Chenin, Meslier, Pineau d'Aunis, Sauvignon Blanc)
- Comtois (Aubin, Gringet, Gewurztraminer, Persanne Gris, Savagnin Blanc, Trousseau)
- Cotoides (Cot / Malbec, Merille, Negrette, Tannat, Valdiguie)
- Durifs (Durif Noir, Joubertin, Mondeuse Blanche, Peloursin, Verdesse)
- Folloides (Folle Blanche, Jurancon Blanc, Jurancon Noir, Montils, Ondenc, Sacy)
- Gouais (Aligote, Blanc Dame, Enfarine noir, Gouais, Muscadelle)
- Mansiens (Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng)
- Muscats (Muscat d'Alexandrie, Muscat blanc, Muscat de Hambourg)
- Noiriens (Chardonnay, Gamay, Melon de Bourgogne, Pinot Noir)
- Panses (Bourboulenc, Clairette de Provence, Plant droit, Pascal blanc, Teoulier)
- Picpouls (Araignan Blanc, Aspiran, Cinsault, Picpoul Noir, Terret Noir)
- Rhenans (Riesling, Sylvaner)
- Serines (Altesse, Marsanne, Mondeuse, Persan, Roussanne, Syrah, Viognier)
Today, genetic research complements ampelographic studies and allows us to learn more about the origins of several grape varieties. Grapes can also be classified by region. It is not uncommon to find some grapes in multiple regions with completely different characteristics. Chardonnay is a great example, it can be found in Bourgogne and Champagne.
Wine varieties, single-varietals and blends
Sometimes the grape variety is so significant that it can be found in the name of the wine. Popular "grape-varietal wines" are Gewurtzraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris. They are often produced in Protected Geographical Indications, or PGI's. Wines from France are also allowed to disclose the grape variety. When the wines are exported, their quality is more easily recognizable for international markets.
It's easy to confound "grape-varietal wines" with "single-grape variety wines". "Grape-varietal wines" usually consist of one grape varietal, but single-varietal wines don't necessarily display the grape used. In Burgundy, wine labels have the appellation, domain and sometimes the specific plot of land from where the grapes are harvested.
Certain grape varieties are used to produced wines that have characteristics from several grapes, this is the case of blended wines. They are rarely – if ever- used alone. Typically, they are grown with the intention of mixing them with other varieties. Bordeaux is a region known for its blends of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot or Malbec. This science of blending gives wines more complex aromas, flavors and structures. Of course, a vintage's weather condition also has a large influence on the wine.
Plant hybrids that are Phylloxera resistant
After the Phylloxera outbreak in 19th century Europe, drastic measures were taken to fight against the disease. Hybrid plants were created by grafting French vines onto American vine roots. The result was a grapevine that is resistant to insects and can be planted on various types of soil. Certain grape varieties were banned in the 1930s to limit overproduction and poor-quality wines.
And on a global scale?
While it is difficult to give an exact number of how many grape varieties exist today, we estimate that there are 9600 in the world.
Researchers at the University of Adelaide created an enormous database of global grape varieties. While the total area of vineyards is steadily declining, the rankings of French varietals are quite high. Even with this decline, 6 of the 10 top varieties are French. These varieties are planted all around the world: the United States, Argentina, Italy and Australia. These are just a few popular countries that use French grape varietals.

A frozen rescue at an icy California lake almost turned tragic when many of the people attempting to help the first victim also fell in the water.
Instead, the incident made for one hysterical video
The incident began on Christmas day when one man sledding on Lake Jackson, a largely frozen lake in Wrightwood, Calif., fell into the water, inspiring onlookers to come to his aid, the Telegraph reported.
Then, as each would-be rescuer rushed to lend a hand, he or she also fell into the icy water, WPTV-TV reported.
Eyewitnesses Mickey and Michelle Herman captured the entire scene on video. Michelle said she knew things were bad right after the first ice sledder fell into the lake.
"We saw his arms flail. Someone said 'He can't swim' and it just turned into panic," Michelle Herman said according to AOL Travel UK.
Mickey added: "It was hard to watch, it really was. We saw that guy go under three times and the third time, we didn't think he was coming back up."
Mickey did run to his car for rope, but the 25-foot-long one he had was short by about 7 feet, he said. Meanwhile, other good samaritans tried throwing ropes and inner tubes to other people who were also trying to rescue the people in the water, CBS News Los Angeles reported.
About eight minutes after the first man fell in the lake, a man on a sled was able to pull him out, and help the other victims.

Are you a researcher interested in getting involved in community-based participatory research? Are you considering incorporating some aspects of community-based experiential learning into your teaching? Are you already involved in either of these activities and seeking to connect with other McMaster colleagues or community partners? We know that many faculty members at McMaster are already deeply involved with community in a variety of ways, but we also know that we can do a better job of connecting with each other both internally at McMaster and with our community partners.
Each of our Faculties have research facilitators who support and facilitate research project development, including helping researchers engage with community partners. These roles are unique to each Faculty. You can learn more about the research facilitator in your specific Faculty, including how to contact them, by clicking here.
McMaster's Institute for Innovation and Excellence in Teaching and Learning (MIIETL) is facilitating a 'Community Engaged Education' Community of Practice that brings together staff and faculty who are interested in exploring teaching and learning initiatives that connect students with our local community. Four meetings will take place over the Fall 2014 semester. Those interested in learning more about this opportunity can visit MIIETL's Community of Practice web page or contact Amy Gullage (Chair) at email@example.com or 289 244 0749.
Over the course of each year, McMaster will be facilitating workshops on specific topics and themes arising from needs and priorities of our community partners. While we will be working with our colleagues to identify potential participants in these workshops - based on research interests - we are also hoping to develop a list of potential faculty who may be interested in taking part over time.
Branching into a new area of research can be a steep learning curve. McMaster has recently launched a series of workshops for new faculty members, including a specific workshop on community engagement.
Are you a faculty member interested in pursuing international research? McMaster's Office of International Affairs provides support and guidance for researchers pursuing international research and partnerships. Click here to visit their website.
If any of the above ideas sound of interest, or if you have questions beyond these issues, please let us know via the contact form below. You can also connect with the Network via the Network Liaison from your Faculty. Click here to view a list of Network members.
If you are already involved and/or not yet involved but interested in connecting with us regarding community-engaged research, education, or service activities, we would love to hear from you. Whether you have ideas to share with us based on your expertise or experience in this area, have questions about how to get more involved, or have thoughts or ideas that you would like to explore further, we encourage you to use the contact form below to get in touch.

If the car market's EV offerings aren't your cup of tea, why not build your own? EV conversions have been around years before automakers put out their line of all-electric vehicles. Here are some great starter cars to convert:
1970s Chevy C10: A DC motor under the hood connected to a driveshaft and a Dana 44, and as many batteries you can afford underneath the bed. When your friend with the diesel tells you how much torque his truck makes, you can laugh and explain the how force of an E-motor gives more torque at 0 rpm than his tuck will ever make. You're not going to want to drive very far in an old pickup anyway, so range anxiety isn't an issue.
1960s Cadillac De Ville convertible: With a giant hood and a giant trunk, you can add a giant battery pack and connect it to your giant motor. Drive around town in your giant convertible until a giant smile appears on your face.
1990s Mazda Miata: It's got dialed-in suspension, has perfect weight distribution, and could use more power. Pull that old combustion engine out. The answer is always Miata.
1970s Datsun 240z: This Japanese sports car is the perfect blend between go-kart and vehicle because it's mostly go-kart. When your car has the ability to steer around corners as well as a modern sports car, all it needs is some electric torque to rocket down the straights.

In the IT security field I see too many experts repeating old advise for users, as mantra's: Change your password frequently, don't click on links, install an anti-virus, don't download illegal software, don't go to "dodgy" websites… It is bad enough that experts in the IT security community are selling outdated and impossible advise, stuck in the 90s. Awareness raising should be left to the professionals. What vexes me most is what often comes next: A matter-of-fact statement blaming the user, saying something like 'the user is the weakest link'.
Imagine postcards: You have been told that many people are getting particularly evil postcards. If you open one, it will paint graffiti on all your walls, take ransom your archive of photos and videos, steal credit card numbers and passwords, send similar postcards to your social network of friends and relatives and maybe even your business network. And if you don't stop everything you are doing and call a professional disinfection team to work on the house for a day, then you could have much more trouble in the future. So how would you open your mailbox the next day? You wouldn't probably. Forget the postcards.
Yet, this is exactly what happens in the online world, for years now. And to add insult to injury, so many IT security experts, comment on the news, in the papers, saying things like "You see? The user is the weakest link!". And sometimes they give some funny advise:
- Peak inside the postcard, but don't open it yet! (Good luck with that!)
- Check if the postcard has spelling errors! (As if attackers don't use spelling checkers. Here, I spotted a typo. Oh, too late.)
- Check if you know the sender! (As if attackers wouldn't try to use a familiar sender address. Yes, this must be the usual message from my delivery company. Oh, too late. )
So recapping: We have unsafe technology. It is used by people who are not experts. For everything really. And if things go wrong? We blame the user. And we give impossible advice (see above). On top of that we shame the users, i.e. mixed with some moralistic scaremongering. Porn will make you blind (and it will infect your computer). Downloading 'illegal' music or software is like stealing (and it will infect your computer). Visited a dating site? Infidelity is bad (and it will infect your computer).
Today I heard "the human is the weakest link" one time too often. In the face of maddening and inexplicable behavior of computers and software, fighting one exploit after the other. Somehow not even opening a PDF can be done safely. So the human is the weakest link here? We should really be pointing the finger at the companies and the people making these products, and at ourselves, the IT security community, by extension, for tolerating this and just blaming the user, the one with no choice, no expertise, no budget, no time.
Let's get real. Of course, everyone should be able to open an envelope to see the postcard, and look at it, several times, show it the other's in the house, showing it to the neighbors (recognize this?). Without putting their entire house and all around them in jeopardy. Until we get there we should admit with red-shamed faces that we haven't quite managed yet to secure this process of "opening emails".
I am not saying that people should stop giving this advise to user, to make them safer online. There is some great user advise out there, such as at Stop-Think-Connect. Advising the user is important because the security of IT will not change overnight. I am also not saying that all the advise is bad. But I think it is important to underline that our advise is not perfect, that some advise may be almost impossible to follow, and most importantly, explain that the real problem here is the technology, which is not safe, nor foolproof, not even for basic things like sending postcards: Don't shame the user, blame the technology!
On the positive side: Industry has moved on. There is a now a new approach, which is better than what we did with PCs a decade ago (app stores, sandboxes), offering tighter sandboxes for smartphones apps, moving to disposable (virtualized) sessions (a bit like in CubesOS), using app stores, vetting, etc. The post card does not get to do all sorts of other things to your house. Slowly security has become a competitive advantage when selling computers to non-experts. It is said, for example, that many people buy a Mac, not only for the design but also to avoid the PC viruses. So from here things should improve rapidly. Things are beginning to look more normal.
But to come back to the point of this post: It is time for the IT security people to stop spreading old advise, and particularly this old saying that the user is the weakest link: Blame technology. Don't blame the user!

Yamakasi replied to NikiAnoixe's topic in Rend DiscussionI kinda like booth, the old aswell as the new. As a Banner for Rend on a Webpage I like the old one more. On the Pax Banner in Reallife the new one looks awesome, the only thing i dislike is the "N" i dont like the two \ between the I I The Symbol is awesome aswell
Dont forget about the Edit box if you add or change content
Mistakes? You can correct me any time
Getting Started
Yamakasi posted a guide in TutorialsThe "Getting Started Guide" After you spawning in the World of Rend you will probably feel overwhelmed, thats not a shame most of us did so. There are just a few Basics you need to know to get your self started. The two most important things in Rend are: Food Water Make sure you ask your faction members to show you the nearest water source, if you did so you can also ask them for some Cooked Meat. In case no one is there you can ask, I made a little paint drawing to show you a short description of the way to the most common water source. Once you filled your water desire, you will also want to get some food. I recommend to use berries for the beginning because you level the Plants Skill while gathering them and berries give you Water and Food. After getting those things you surely want to get some Tools. You will need Sticks, Cobblestone, Fiber and Flint for an Axe and Pickaxe also make sure to craft a torch for the night. The day and night cycle is about 20minutes each, so make sure to craft it as soon as possible because the nights are very dark. I recommend to check out the "Rend - Basic Woodcutting Guide" you can see the resources there. To craft those Tools you dont need a Building to craft them you just need your Personal Crafting [C - Button]. You should own the basics for Surviving in Rend now (Water, Food, Axe, Pickaxe, Torch). The next Aim should be a Weapon and Armor, I recommend to instantly craft a weapon in the Blacksmith not in the Personal Crafting Menu. If you followed this guide you shoudnt have any problems with the basic surviving in the beginning.
Yamakasi started following The Character Creation and Getting Started
The Character Creation
Yamakasi posted a guide in CharactersThe Character Creation The First thing you see after choosing a Server will be the Character Creation. Actually the Character Creation is very Limited, so you can choose between the following options: Faction Sex Hair Style Hair Color Facial Hair (Men Only) Actually there are 3 Hair Styles for both genders as well as 3 for men facial hair. I wont show you all of them to keep a little surprise. Currently there are the following Hair Colors available: Grey Orange Blue Yellow Dark Brown White (Female Only) Red (Female Only) Black (Female Only) In the Lower Right Box you can enter your Ingame Name. The Arrows next to your Character turns your Character to this direction. If you hover over the factions you can read the factions description.
FK Majenco Localization is planned, although maybe not for day 1 of Early Access
1) They are currently managing about the server hoster. 2) I have no information about that. I recommend to ask in Discord, in fact i like the question and will do it for you. More feedback soon
Yamakasi started following Servers & Game Localization
Yamakasi started following The Skill System, Soldier, The Crafting System and and 1 other
The Crafting System
Yamakasi posted a guide in CraftingThe Crafting System The Crafting System in Rend has a lot of Categorise. Weapons Light Armor Heavy Armor Tools Magic Food Potions Research Repair You can specify on what Crafting Skill you want to level up. The higher your Level the better the recieps you are able to craft. There wont be any differences in Quality, just better Bows. So if you craft a Level 1 Bow as Level 50 Weapons Crafter it has the same stats as a Level 1 Weapons Crafter. Some Crafting Skills are not directly Crafting like Food, you cook Food but it is Categorised as Crafting Skill.
The Mount System
Yamakasi posted a guide in TutorialsThe Skill System No Mounts Yet! 23.04.2017 MagenZion @FK_JarNod Can you currently tame a wolf the way you guys did in the reveal trailer? FK_JarNod @MagenZion we still haven't balanced that one yet so it's not enabled In Rend are Different Types of Mounts. Currently its not planned to include Artificial Mounts. There are only Ride able Mounts non of them can fly or glide. It is planned to give Mounts special skills aswell as mounts with space for more than one person on its back but it is still in development and balancing. How to get a Mount: To get a Mount you will need a bit luck, because Mount Typed Enemies have a low % to spawn a Spirit Realm Gate. (You can increase this rate with the Mystic Class). Once you got a Spirit Realm Gate you can visit the Spirit Realm. There will be a lot of Demons in this World so make sure you got a Weapon. You will need to fight these Demons and follow your Mount. Once you reached the Mount you can catch it. (I currently dont know how this works, more info later). If you catched the Spirit Mount you get a Mount Stone or something like that, this is a Tradeable Item. If you want to keep the mount for your self you just bound it, but it cant be traded anylonger. Now you can spawn your mount by invoking it. Are Mounts able to die? Yes. Mounts can die, but dont fear you can revive your friend for some resources. (Location will be added later aswell as further Information.) What benefit brings me a Mount? With a tamed Mount you are a lot faster in the Rend World. You can also fight on its back and hunt enemy down with it if they try to run away but care you can get knocked of a mounts back. Mounts are not able to fight alone or fight anyway by thereselfs.

The Skill System
Yamakasi posted a guide in TutorialsThe Skill System in Rend is special, because you can Level nearly every Profession you can do in game. These are categorised as Adventuring Skills, Crafting Skills and Combat Skills. Different to the Class System you can Level Up every single profession in the Game not only 2 out 4, but you will need a lot of time to level them all to max level. How to Level Skills: The more often you do some of the professions the better you get at it. Refering to the Blog post: Punching trees gets you better at punching trees? What happens when I level up a profession: Simple The better you get, the better you get. So if you Lumber a lot you lumber faster and more items. For Combat its do more damage, faster reloads and less recoil. BUT Rend has an unlock system not only a passive system! At certain Levels you can Choose between some Perks these Levels are: 5, 10, 25, 50. Also you Unlock better crafting recipes with a higher level. An Example for the Adventuring Skills: At Level 5 in Herbalis you can Choose between "Friend of the Herbs" aswell as "Huntin for the Rare Bloom". FotH gives you an increased yield by gathering plants HftRB gives you a higher Chance of Rarer Resources. Combat Skill example: At Level 50 in Bow Fighting you can choose between "Hunter Perk" and "Sniper Perk". Hunter Perk gives you a % boost on Movement for 5 seconds up to a stack of 5times. Sniper Perk gives you a % dmg boost while standing still, up to 2%. Hint: You can NOT reset Perks! Actual Adventuring Skills that have a Level: Lumber Stone Plants Creatures Metal Spirits Heat Cold Riding Spirit Realm Actual Crafting Skills that have a Level: Weapons Light Armor Heavy Armor Tools Magic Food Potions Research Repair Actual Combat Skills that have a Level: Wildlife Demons Players Bows Repeaters Crossbows Spike Launchers Light Dark Spirit Leather Silk Thanks to Iamacyborg for the Screenshots!

text: Hello again, Now that I have first versions of FlatRaster ready, I need some more accurate specs: In what states of existence can a dimension be? (I suggest we name cell-in-the-middle-and-all-dimensions aka SingleCell raster as FlatRaster.) As I wrote earlier (but you didn't have anything to say of it), at the moment dimensions are created the first time they're used. 'Usage' means creating a cell along the dimension or trying to go along the dimension. This way most dimensions are created when gZZ creates the client space or when the user cycles to the dimension in a view. This policy is good for most of cases. It doesn't assure existence of any implicit dimensions, however. At the moment such dimensions are d.cellcreation, d.slices and d.masterdim. d.cellcreation is the one revealing the problem: it should exist always, but as it isn't referenced during normal startup procedure, it isn't there (visible) before the user creates it (using it as a view dimension). I think it should be. The effect is visible in FlatRaster (I haven't commited it yet, though.) Possible solutions: (kinda dirty ones) - have a list of these implicit dimensions and "touch" them during startup - initialize d.masterdim with these implicit dimensions (also from a list) Tuukka ---------------------------------------- E-Mail: Tuukka.Hastrup@xxxxxx WWW: http://www.iki.fi/Tuukka.Hastrup ICQ: #11321669

This consolidates all the design capacity tables contained in the individual simple connection design guides into one volume for easy reference and comparison. These tables aim to replace the simple connections section of AISC Standardised Structural Connections (3rd edition, 1985) and also provide typical details for web side plate, flexible end plate and angle cleat connections.
The capacity tables have been developed for selected connection configurations covering: steel grade, connection components such as plates or cleats, welds, bolts, hole geometry, bolt pitches and bolt gauges.
For a selected connection configuration, most design calculations are eliminated using the tables except for design checks which relate to the supporting member or general frame design. Information on the design model used for each connection can be found in the relevant design guide for that connection.

I can admit that standard grammar is an exceedingly important part of writing, particularly in the academic context that The Writing Center exists in. If only to avoid being distracting to readers, grammar is important. If we also want to convey a sense of professionalism or mastery of coursework, it becomes indispensable.
I will also admit, however, that I absolutely hate focusing on it in sessions. To explain my distain, I will point to my title as a "Writing Consultant." There is a distinct ideological difference between tutoring writing and tutoring English, as a language. As mentioned in the introduction to this series, The Writing Center does not require consultants to be "grammar experts," though we all have a general knowledge that is sufficient for most situations.
Though grammar is integral to clear writing, there is a great deal more to the expression of our thoughts, ideas, and feelings through the written word than grammar alone. A typical academic writing assignment, for example, requires that a student be able to read and understand often lengthy prompts, have formulated original, insightful thoughts on the topic, articulate and structure their ideas logically and in adherence with American academic conventions, and all the while keeping in mind course materials and themes. Juggling all of these various, competing conditions requires a number of skills that take time to develop. Our goal at The Writing Center is to not simply to make better papers, but better writers. To do so necessitates that we focus on helping clients develop these skills to do well now, and throughout their college career. Continue reading "Understanding "Writing" More Broadly"

David Statham, 38, his wife Michelle, 33, and their children Reece, 13, Jay, nine, Mason, 20 months, and baby girl Elouise, 10 weeks, died after their car burst into flames following a five-vehicle collision on a stretch of the motorway in Cheshire.
Police picking through the wreckage on the M6 near Sandbach said it resembled a "war zone", and the Stathams' car could only be identified by its chassis number.
A Portuguese lorry driver has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and is waiting to be questioned through an interpreter.
The Stathams were returning to their home in Llandudno, north Wales, after a trip to Birmingham where they were thought to have been visiting the children's grandparents.
Chef Mr Statham had moved his young family to the seaside town from Birmingham for a fresh start some years ago.
He started work at the local Fountains restaurant before becoming head chef at the nearby prestigious St David's College private boarding school. His wife Michelle was a mortgage advisor.
While Mason attended a local nursery, Jay went to Blessed William Davies school and Reece was a pupil at John Bright Secondary School, a short walk from their home.
Neighbours said the couple's children had dominated their world.
Dawn Jones, 32, who lives across the road, said: "They loved those kids. I feel devastated. They always wanted a girl and finally had one after three boys."
Her husband John, 36, added : "We couldn't have wished for better neighbours. They were fantastic. Every time I saw them there was nice words. They were a hard-working young family."
Another neighbour said: "I used to see them every morning getting into the car for the school run and they seemed so happy - the brightest family in the world. It is shocking - truly shocking.
"Why are our roads so unsafe? They were a simple family and now all have gone. They have just all gone - just like that. It should never happen."
The collision, involving three heavy goods vehicles and two cars, happened on the northbound carriageway between junction 16 at Barthomley and junction 17 at Sandbach at about 10.40pm on Monday.
Inspector Brian Rogers said the crash was like a "war zone".
He added: "I feel so sorry for the officers from the emergency services who had to deal with it."
Just over 90 minutes before the crash, former rugby league star David Myers, 37, died when his van smashed into a bridge support on the same stretch of motorway.
The former Wigan Warriors, Bradford Bulls and Widnes player crashed between junctions 17 and 18.
Insp Rogers said both crashes were part of the same investigation to establish what driving conditions, congestion and driver behaviour were like.
Wigan's performance director Joe Lydon said: "David and I played in the same Wigan team in the early 1990s. It is such a tragedy to learn about this news and my thoughts are with his family."
Mr Myers played for the club between 1990 and 1992, making 69 appearances and scoring 38 tries.
A spokesman for the Highways Agency said there was a third crash at 5am Tuesday morning when a car travelling north on the M6 crossed the central reservation and hit a van heading south, although nobody is thought to have suffered life-threatening injuries.
In an unrelated incident, three people, including a 12-year-old girl, have died in a collision on the A52 in Derbyshire, police said.

I was faced with a dilemma earlier this week. I desperately wanted curtains hung on the windows of the store. See it without curtains? It just needed them so badly.
Two issues, I didn't have curtains long enough to go from floor to ceiling, couldn't afford to buy any AND I am not allowed to damage the woodwork in any way…. I was stumped for a second. Then… a glorious, amazing idea came to me. To hang rope from curtain brackets to the desired length of the curtains I already had.
Here is a list of the supplies I used. Total cost was a little less than $40.00.
1. Gold Spray Paint
2. Electrical Conduit
3. Curtain Brackets
4. Jute Twine
All supplies purchased at Lowes.
The install was very easy and straight forward. After spray painting the electrical conduit, I just measured my curtain brackets to their desired places and hung them. Then I measured how many inches I needed to cut my rope to get the desired hanging height. I needed them to be 25″ long but since I was knotting them at both ends I went ahead and cut them at 27″ to allow myself to use some extra for the knots. The final step was just hanging the rope and inserting the
conduit curtain rod into each of two loops of rope.
Here is how it turned out in the end… ((sorry for the horribly dark pictures. An actual camera is definitely needed in the near future))

My darling Reggie,
I am aghast, you are one already, where did the time go? Maybe gazing at you, all starry-eyed with love and wonder; maybe the time has been so precious that it was sent to a zip file, all nicely compressed in my memory for all time?
You are the sweetest-natured little guy, happily chatting to yourself, playing with your terribly interesting fingers, chasing the dappled sunlight across the dining room floor, just being you. Your big sister Edie, is your greatest champion, as I am sure you will be hers in years to come. She adores you, getting all up in your face with her love and affection – sometimes I am sure you would like to tell her to back off a bit, enough with the touchy-feely stuff, give me some air… She just wants to be your everything. Like you are to me.
You are turning into quite the climber, you cannot walk, but boy, there are not many places you cannot get to if you really want to be there. Outside this morning, I was hanging out the washing and the girls were playing in the garden in front of the Cottage – then you were there too, you had clambered over the granite rocks edging the garden, ploughed your way through the pea-straw mulch and found them in their 'secret hideaway'. Little devil. When you are properly mobile and walking, I am going to attach a bell to you, or a GPS tracking device…
Connie calls you 'cute little guy', rarely does she call you by name – I do not know why this is. It makes me smile.
She likes you now, a little, and is just starting to play with you, she will not however, share toys with you – not at all. Even if you only received them two days ago for your first birthday and would like to have a play – sorry dude, Connie will not have a bar of it. Don't worry tho little guy, I have put most of them away in your room, just for you.
You have recently developed a love for all things vehicular – if it's got wheels, it rocks. You even make engine noises! It makes me laugh to watch you on your knees, hands on the tractor's cab, wheeling around the kitchen. I'm guessing it's a boy thing…tho both of your sisters love trucks and tractors. Nanna gave them both a doll for Christmas and they hated them!
Here is a list of some of your favourite things…
1. Me – morning, noon and night. I feel the same way about you too xxx.
2. Wheels – toy trucks and tractors, prams, bikes – any wheel will do.
3. You love Arnotts Scotch Finger biscuits.
4. You are so happy outside, you want to spend every waking minute outside. If you are cranky, which isn't often, you will perk up totally if I take you outside.
5. Coffee cups – no Reggie, no.
6. The fire. My lord, you are fixated. No amount of telling off or barriers will keep you away – obsessed dude. Scares the pants off me.
7. Baths, seriously you love the water. And splash – mercy me, how can someone so little in such an enormous bath, make such a mess everywhere? You have been taught by the best – just ask your sisters. Pretty sure I am gonna hate summer when the three of you are constantly begging to go swimming, all day, every day.
You are a wonderful kid and I love you absolutely silly. And I always will.
Mucho love,
Letter to Reggie
My darling Reggie,

Company Roots
The KVAR Energy Savings Corporation (KVAR Corp.) began its manufacturing operations in 1992 in Port Orange, Florida.
The KVAR Corp. later perfected a patent protected Kilovolt Ampere Reactive (KVAR) sizing equipment to accurately and efficiently determine the reactive component of power in motors in the mid '90′s. In other words, the corporation had a real-time method for determining the efficiency of individual motors required to do work for utility customers in homes, businesses and industrial plants.
In doing so, the corporation further developed and validated a methodology to improve the efficiency of motors by developing products, known as KVAR Energy Controllers (KVAR ECs™) that recycle the magnetic field of the motor and thereby reduce the amount of electric energy to do the same level of work. In technical terms, this meant the implementation of a methodology that could effectively optimizes Power Factor (PF) to unity or 1.0 for motor loads.
With products that save energy for utility customers and demand for electric utilities, the stage was set for bigger and better. The business really started to flourish in 2007, when two investors and seasoned businessmen joined the corporation: Mr. Steve Fish and Mr. Earl Malisoff. As CEO, Mr. Fish set-up the business so it could thrive through a network of over 500 distributors. The corporation now owned the US patent for the apparatus and procedures that allowed the sizing of the reactive component. All KVAR ECs™ were UL and CSA listed energy controllers.
The corporation outgrew successive facilities in Port Orange and was finally re-located in 2009 to the current 20,000 square feet manufacturing facility in Daytona Beach, Florida. By then, a joint venture had been established with a UK company called Advanced Power Components (APC), manufacturing was streamlined, CE certification had been secured and KVAR Group companies were onto larger markets nationally and internationally.
Starting in July 2009, plans were underway to build up the team and restructure the organization so that it could effectively deal with a fast growth sales environment, with a Now Solution' for energy efficiency and Smart Grid. New business entities and programs sprouted out of this effort: A new Sales Channels Management Group, a KVAR National Accounts Division and a "Product to Mainstream" Project were formed.
The KVAR Group, through its leadership, and the determination and strengths of the individuals involved in producing, selling and commissioning KVAR Energy Controllers, is making a significant difference by producing products that reduce carbon footprint, energy consumption and electric demand on utilities and the power grid. From humble beginnings to a real success story that preserves our natural resources and fosters a sustainable environment. This is what we're all about.

A charitable remainder unitrust is a great way to protect the lands and waters you love while receiving income for life or for a fixed number of years. You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your contribution and save on capital gains taxes.
How it works
- You donate $50,000 or more in cash or securities or $100,000 or more in real estate to the trust.
- The Nature Conservancy drafts a trust document to be reviewed by you and your advisors. If desired, the Conservancy may serve as a trustee in certain instances.
- You or your beneficiaries receive payments for life (beneficiaries must be age 50 or older) or for a term of up to 20 years. Payments will vary based on the performance of the investments held in the trust and are based on a rate agreed upon when the trust is created (the statutory minimum of 5 percent is our most commonly used rate).
- If you donate appreciated securities to the trust, those assets can be sold and the full amount reinvested without incurring capital gains tax at the time of the transfer.
- You may add to your trust at any time with additional gifts of cash, marketable securities or real estate.
- When the unitrust terminates – either at the death of the last beneficiary or at the end of the trust term – the remaining balance will transfer to The Nature Conservancy.
How You Benefit
- Provides payment for life, lives or a fixed number of years.
- Offers flexible funding options.
- Diversifies your portfolio.
- No capital gains tax is due at the time of transfer on any gifts of appreciated assets.
- May entitle you to a partial charitable income tax deduction the year you make your gift, with additional carryover in subsequent years.
- Gives you the satisfaction of knowing that you are improving the world and conserving our precious natural resources.
More Information
The standard unitrust is designed to pay you income as a fixed percentage of gradually increasing principal. Payments from a standard unitrust begin as soon as the trust is created and funded.
Alternatively, you can establish a "FLIP" unitrust. This type of gift allows you to plan for a future event by increasing your future income, allows you to hold appreciated assets and avoid the capital gains cost of a sale and allows you to defer your trust payments so they can grow over time and provide a hedge against inflation.

Breeding sheep to survive and thrive in high rainfall zones will always have many selection criteria to meet, but we believe to increase production there needs to be balance in selection. Wool cut per Ha, wool quality, fertility, growth rates, sheep health and resilience to parasites and seasonal conditions, maturity, constitution and confirmation are all key drivers that help to maximize productivity in both stud and commercial operations. At Sunny Valley we will always strive to increase both our own production and that of our clients through using the best suitable genetics available.

I always want to save the best for last. That chicken skin which you'd find on the side of my plate every time I have McDonald's for lunch — don't be deceived, I don't do that because I won't eat it. That pretty dress I just got and excited about but won't wear unless there is a very significant occasion. That action movie on my files but won't watch until I finish all the so-so ones. So I will say, Cornetto did a great job when they decided to put the chocolate syrup at the bottom-most part of the cone.
It was the very first that came into my mind when I thought of my Music category here. But I did not push it to be my first entry in the category. Why, I don't understand myself and right now I am asking what the hell I was thinking. Because I save the best for last, that is, maybe.
But it's just so good I cannot wait for the right time because every moment that I listen to it is right. The oomph, I just can't explain. Every time Igor plays the intro, something sends me to another dimension, to a not quite comfortable place, but it's where I want to be. And that's just the start.
Then Elena speaks, and everything is better than it already is. I close my eyes. You think that I am overplaying it. That it's on loop and mercilessly on repeat. Yes, you are freaking right. And here's more: there's no other on the playlist.
I start to breathe deeply which prepares my heart for a series of palpitations as Remi hit the drums. The sound and vibrations make me feel empowered, I picture myself walking slowly towards my war, and I'm ready to fight it. In reality, my eyes are still closed and my fingers are tapping the table, following the beat. I'm proud to say I kinda perfected that after x number of times. There's not a single moment when I am listening to it that I never went teary-eyed or actually cried. All I can say is, wow.
I've never been this absorbed with a song and all my life I've been trying to figure out what my favorite song is and now I finally did. Okay that's shallow but it's just too perfect and that's not even a small deal for me. The song is my life and my life is the song. I can't pick the right words and I know everything that I have said is just crazy, crazy, crazy and you're thinking I'm on a high (yes that's how beautiful it is) which is why you're giving me that "what the hell is wrong with this person" look. But no there's nothing wrong, it's just that, I need to tell the world how awesome this is! I tweet about it all the time but I just have to dedicate a more special space for it because it's worth it. It's my life, after all. It strengthens my being as Margo Roth Spiegelman.

Sports is seriously the biggest barrier that stops people from feeling confident enough to cut the cord. It can be complicated, but it doesn't have to be. You can watch sports without cable in a variety of easy and legal ways. And, in some cases, you can even watch sports online free.
So what are the steps to live stream sports without access to cable? Before you start, consider which sports are most important to you. Are you more interested in following one specific team or the entire league? How are those sports accessible through traditional channels?
Once you have an idea of how you watch sports, you can dig into the details to allow you to watch live sports online without cable, legally, and conveniently. Along with the biggest streaming services on the market, like DIRECTV NOW and Sling TV, there are also a few specialized options.
Check out our guides to stream live sports and read below for more information on how to watch sports online.
Watch NFL Online
There are several ways to watch sports without cable. NFL is one of the trickier leagues to watch, but thankfully it's getting easier.
DIRECTV NOW, fuboTV, Sling TV, and PlayStation Vue all have access to some networks that air NFL games.

ESPN is also available nationwide on Sling TV, DIRECTV NOW, and Vue, which is great for Monday Night Football, while NFL Network (for Thursday Night Football and more) is included from Sling TV and Vue. All of these services offer FREE trials so you can live stream sports and see for yourself.
The CBS All Access stand-alone app recently announced a deal with the NFL to offer all games aired on their network. This service isn't available nationwide yet, but it does cover most of the country. This is especially good for fans of AFC teams, which air the majority of their games on CBS. CBS All Access also offers a FREE try before you buy option. Note that this is only for CBS, so it's not as complete of an option as DIRECTV NOW, fuboTV, etc.

How Else Can You Watch Sports Online
Another method we should mention for many of these sports is a digital antenna paired with an over-the-air DVR.
Digital antennas allow you to pick up any broadcast channels in your area. That means you can stream live sports on NBC, ABC, FOX, and CBS if you receive the channel over the air. Besides the initial cost of the antenna, watching is completely free.
An over-the-air DVR allows you to record live TV and watch later. Or, you can use it to stream sports live to your computer or connected device and watch even if you're away fro home. This is one great way to watch sports online for free! The only other way we know of to legally watch sports without cable for free is with free trials of the services mentioned above, will typically be for only a week at a time.

Brooklyn was helping me set up for the party and she was so freaking confused by what was going on. She kept thinking it was my birthday, was confused why we weren't hanging the pinatas from the ceiling. She didn't know why we were having a party for someone she didn't know! Haha
Guys......this project....was terrible. Haha! I found it on Pinterest and thought it would be easy to do and man was I wrong. It took a lot of work, mainly creating the letters out of cardboard boxes. Then as I was covering them I kept saying "these are honestly hideous" and the name of chewbakka pinatas was born. I still am not super convinced that they are cute but I spent a good ten hours on them so I felt like I had to use them haha
These were for the girls to take home so their mugs would stay decorated!
I don't know if I have talked about Hilarie on my blog but she is the best.. She gets it done, whatever it may be. I put her in charge of my wedding and I have 0 regrets. She is also the best waffle maker in town.
These are my roommates from freshman year! We are missing one of them, but it was fun to get together again!
Man, I really need to get a tripod and also one of those clicker things. The hood of the car situation wasn't working out too well haha
By the end of this I was so exhausted so Hilarie and I sat down and made like ten mugs with rap lyrics.
Also, Trader Joes, guys. I heard they had flowers so I went in and got this bouquet for $4!!! The flowers are mostly dead now though...so they aren't the best at lasting but they are just so pretty.

Case Study – Consumer Electronics
GETSHIELD helps a Consumer Electronics Manufacturer get back to normalized operations after experiencing a severe DDoS attack
America's number one HDTV and consumer electronics manufacturer company contacted GETSHIELD after experiencing a DDoS attack.
The Chief Technology Officer of the Electronics Manufacturer called GETSHIELD in December 2010 as they were suffering from 1Gbps of SYN Flood while experiencing a DDoS attack that was affecting their web site operations. Their website was down and their phone support system was over killing them because of high volume of support calls.

GETSHIELD proxy started to receive the traffic from client domain and our technicians began filtering the bad requests.
The website normal traffic was restored the same day. Website was up and running with minor glitches for the first 12 hours of protection period and error free after that.
The client remains with GETSHIELD to date and expresses satisfaction with the services provided.
