Paint color names mystify me. Why a can of paint should be called Prairie Puce or Barnacle Blue escapes me. So I'm encouraged to find that a robot is even more confused about the topic than I am.
An AI invented a bunch of new paint colors that are hilariously wrong. h/t Ars Technica

Happy New Year!
I hope all you lovely people had a great New Year's Eve (I know I did!) and a lovely Christmas on top of that.
However it's back to business now, and time for some New Year's Resolutions! Last year I promised myself I would stop smoking, lose some weight and start reading with Tilly every night. And, in a shocking twist, I managed to accomplish every one of them! Usually New Year's Resolutions are much harder to stick to, so I'm very proud to have made it!
Ok, so I have a bit more weight to lose, but that's a continuing resolution into 2016. As for the others, I'm thinking:
Official Resolutions
- Take more walks with the family in nature/at the park
- Start playing the violin again
- Try to have one date night a week with Mark
Unofficial Resolutions
- Eat more greens
- Put some money away for Christmas throughout the year
- Convince Mark that the scratching in the ceiling is real
What about you? Have you all set some New Year's Resolutions to stick to this year? Let me know in the comments!

iPad Companion Apps for Photoshop: Eazel, Nav, Color LavaMay 12
Adobe has released its first three Photoshop CS5 companion apps for the iPad. The apps were originally announced in April as a demonstration of what could be accomplished with their new Photoshop Touch Software Development Kit.
The three apps include:
With Adobe Eazel, you can use your iPad and your fingertips to paint beautiful works of art. Paint across your entire iPad screen, and easily access the tools you need. Send your artwork directly to Photoshop CS5 from any locationall you need is a network connection between your iPad and computer. Or do all your painting in the app, and share via email.
With Adobe Nav and a network connection between your iPad and computer, you can customize the Photoshop CS5 toolbar on iPad to easily access the tools you use most. Browse, reorder, view, and zoom in on up to 200 open Photoshop documents on iPad. Tap a document on iPad to make it the active document in Photoshop CS5. Disconnect from the network and use iPad to easily share files in person with others.
With Adobe Color Lava, you can use your fingertips to mix colors on your iPad and create custom swatches and five-swatch themes. Instantly access them in Photoshop CS5all you need is a network connection between your iPad and computer. Or use the app wherever inspiration strikes, and then bring your colors into Photoshop CS5 when you're connected. Share colors via email, too.
Meanwhile, 3rd party developers are also working on their own apps to take advantage of the new Adobe SDK. Adobe Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.4 (released last week) or later is required.
Microsoft to Acquire Skype for $8.5 BillionMay 11
Microsoft has confirmed that they are acquiring Skype for $8.5 billion.
Microsoft Corp. and Skype Global announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Microsoft will acquire Skype, the leading Internet communications company, for $8.5 billion in cash from the investor group led by Silver Lake. The agreement has been approved by the boards of directors of both Microsoft and Skype.
Skype is the popular voice over internet service that also offers a Mac and iOS App version.
Microsoft reports that Skype will support Microsoft devices like Xbox and Kinect, Windows Phone and a wide array of Windows devices, and Microsoft will connect Skype users with Lync, Outlook, Xbox Live and other communities. The press release also states that they will continue to invest in and support Skype clients on non-Microsoft platforms.
iPad Apps: Photoshop Interaction…May 05
A few weeks ago, the Adobe Photoshop Touch Software Development Kit (SDK) was released, which gives developers the ability to create apps for mobile and tablet devices that interact with Photoshop CS5. The Photoshop Touch SDK has been a very popular download and we're already seeing a lot of activity within the community of publishers, trainers and plug-in providers. Tom Ruark, senior computer scientist, says the socket protocol allows developers of all kinds to take advantage of the "open pipe" to Photoshop and leverage the software for what it does best.

The world's first and most powerful handheld spectral light meter
Class leading accuracy and repeatability at the touch of a button
Simple way to turn your illuminance spectrometer into the single LED tester to measure luminous flux and color CRI and TM30 rendering properties of LEDs. Install the GL OPTI SPHERE 48 which mounts directly on the device and measure. This can be used as portable set but also can be installed in the lab or production for quick and precise LED testing.
Any flat light emitting surface can be measured with Spectis 1.0 Touch when you use optional Opti Probe 1.0 for luminance and radiance. This accessory connects to the spectrometer with fiber optic connection and can be installed on a tripod at a distance from the test device or put directly on the LED or OLED surface to measure cd/m2, SPD and radiance.
If you are developing or distributing Aquarium LED lighting you can connect our LED light meter with optional water tight probe design for evaluation of lighting installations dedicated to submarine, aquarium or other underwater technical lighting.
Horticulture or Agriculture lighting applications you can use our spectral light and PAR meter to evaluate any effective irradiance values. Onboard firmware can calculate PAR, PPFD and other critical parameters of modern specialized LED lighting installations. Connect to our Spectrosoft tool for advanced analysis options.
Reliable and Flexible
The GL SPECTIS 1.0 Touch was designed based on the experience gained from our original non-touch screen model, the Spectis 1.0. Our goal was to create a spectral LED light meter for customers who wanted to have a simple solution without any sacrifice in optical performance and dependability.
This battery-operated standalone device is ideal for different light measurement applications – from the laboratory to field testing. Through extensive engineering in the design and calibration procedures, this device provides the highest accuracy of any handheld spectral light measurement device. We understand that light measurement is not an easy task, but thanks to the Spectis 1.0 Touch, you no longer need to be an expert to make professional LED lamps evaluation.
Light Quality Under Control
This light measurement instrument is designed for those who value quality and high technology solutions. It includes many technical features and superior components offering a unique combination of laboratory accuracy and ease-of-use. It is a must have for any lighting professional looking to build its competitive advantage by improving the quality of LED lamps, modules and luminaires.
What would you like to measure?
The standard light spectrometer covers the visual range measurements of LED, OLED, CFL, discharge lamps and other light sources.
Need to measure outside the visual range? Check our VIS NIR model. Use any of our additional accessories and software options for advanced applications.
Self Contained Handheld Spectrometer
The Spectis 1.0 Touch spectral light meter comes standard with Class measuring head as a standard accessory for proper measurement of illuminance (lux). The instrument does not require a computer connection to carry out the measurements and the relevant data is immediately displayed on the color touch screen.
Automatic Accessory Detection
This handheld spectral light meter uses a proprietary mechanism to detect which optical probe has been attached and automatically applies the correct calibration file for that accessory. This enables the user to confidently avoid measuring errors when changing accessory interfaces. The calibration meets the requirements of leading standards institutes and is confirmed with a manufacturer's certification.
Dark current compensation
The Spectis 1.0 Touch spectral light meter is ready to provide very accurate measurements for almost any lighting condition. A temperature sensor installed on the electronic board monitors changes in temperature and automatically compensates for any change in the system noise, providing excellent measurement stability.
Trigger Socket
For automated or production applications, you can use the trigger socket to synchronize spectroradiometer with external systems. For example, the signal from the socket can trigger the flash of a tested lamp during measurements.
Photometric and Radiometric calibration
Each system is delivered with an absolute spectral calibration with traceability to National Labs and using industry best practices. Obtain absolute values such as Lux, Candela and Lumen together with radiometric values depending on the measurement accessory installed.
Our preconfigured, individually calibrated spectral light meters deliver fast and precise results for nearly any practical light measurement application. Measure in seconds and review the results directly on the handheld display or dig deeper with the included software. Using the Spectis Touch, you can measure any or all of the following optical quantities:

The Stung Man
The STung Man is a tough guy. He can inflict poison, jump over pits like a kangaroo, and surf on scorpions. he has the highest health of any existing monster in the game, so it takes 6 strikes from a hammer to knock him out. But he is not invincible. This tomb tip tells how to defeat him.
He has three key weaknesses that can be used to survive an encounter with the Stung Man.
1) He has to reel in his stinger. His most basic attack, and the one he uses most often, is to launch his stinger at you. The stinger flies through the air until it hits you, a wall, or another solid object. This can be exploited by standing in one spot, then dodging the stinger. while he reels in the stinger, land a few hits.
2)He has weak attacks. before you start running around, scared, when you encounter him, you need to know that he cannot inflict real damage, only poison status effect. with shield hearts, this makes the stung man as easy as pie.
3) He is not smart. his stinger cannot penetrate solir objects like horus eyes or flame jets. however, if you get behind one he will continue shooting his stinger regardless of being unable to hit you.

It's not surprising that many weightlifting newbies tend to injure themselves when starting out. Whether it's a result of improper form, bad posture, or stiff joints, a good number of injuries occur as a result of poor flexibility all over the body. Foam rolling is a great way to increase overall mobility and it's excellent for pre-workouts and for treating soreness that sets in afterward.
Foam rolling is the perfect warm-up activity because it stimulates muscle tissue and increases blood flow to the areas being worked. Warming up before training should always be part of your workout regimen. Foam rolling is like a mini-massage for cold muscles. It wakes them up and gets your body ready for a safe and productive workout.
Not only is it beneficial to foam roll pre-workout, but post-workout is as important. Studies show that post-workout foam rolling helps alleviate DOS (delayed onset soreness) which occurs up to 48 hours after a workout.
Weight training over long periods of time can cause tension to build up in the muscles and in the fascia, the thin layer of tissue surrounding the muscles. Eventually, those spots turn into knots, or trigger points, that cause pain and stiffness. In physical therapy, one of the most common forms of treatment is called myofascial release (MFR), which is a fancy term for breaking up and releasing those knots. Therapists often use methods like manual massage and electrical stimulation to do this, but foam rollers accomplish the same thing! In fact, another word for foam-rolling treatment is called self-myofascial release.
The kind of foam roller you need will depend on exactly what you're using it for. They come in a range of sizes, textures, and densities so it's helpful to understand the differences between them and their intended use. If you're just starting out, a medium density roller is best for getting an idea of what you can and can't tolerate. Foam rolling will be painful at times, especially when you're sore, and a medium-density roller offers room to switch to a firmer or softer version, depending on your personal preference. A low-density roller can be ideal for people that are sensitive to deep massage because they provide the least amount of penetration to the muscles with minimal pressure. If you're in a lot of pain or have a particularly tender area, use a low density roller to start the process of loosening the muscle knots and work up to deeper massage as it improves.
High density and textured rollers work best for people with widespread or severe muscle tension because they put the most force on the skin surface. High density rollers apply equal and intense pressure as you roll across them and the textured types have small protrusions that designed to dig in even deeper. If you have chronic muscle tension or deal with trigger points on an ongoing basis, a high density or textured roller is going to get you the best results.
Once you've determine what you're comfortable with and which type of roller is best, you can experiment with the different sizes that are available. There are short and long foam rollers and even some that look like they've been cut lengthwise. Full length rollers cover a large area and short rollers work great for hard-to-reach spots. Finally, the rollers that look like they've been cut in half are designed to build strength and balance in the ankles and release tension in the feet.
Regardless of which roller you pick, it's good to be educated on how to use it properly, pre and post workout.

Sedimentary Rocks
Sedimentary rocks are one of the three types of rocks that are composed by the deposition and subsequent cementation of that material at the Earth's surface and in bodies of water. The sediment is compressed over a long period of time before consolidating into solid layers of rock. Examples of sedimentary rocks include limestone, sandstone, mudstone, chalk, coal and flint. Sedimentary rocks forms layers called strata which can often be seen in exposed cliffs.
The Sedimentary Cycle
Examples of some Sedimentary Rocks
Limestone: Limestone is omposed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, forams and molluscs. It is found anywhere an ancient ocean used to be.
Siltstone: Siltstone forms where water, wind, or ice deposit silt, and the silt is then compacted and cemented into a rock. It is found in stream deposits, lake beds and most commonly, in Kansas.
Shale: Shale forms from consolidated mud or clay and can be split easily into fragile slabs. It is usually found in areas where gentle waters have deposited sediments that become compacted together.
Metamorphic Rocks
A metamorphic rock is a result of a transformation of a pre-existing rock. Its name is from ''morph'' (meaning form), and ''meta'' (meaning change). The original rock is subjected to very high heat and pressure. Examples of these rock types include marble, slate, gneiss, schist. Metamorphic rocks make up a large part of the Earth's crust.
The Metamorphic Cycle
Examples of some Metamorphic Rocks
Gneiss: Gneissis a type of metamorphic rock that forms when either a sedimentary or a igneous rock is exposed to intense temperatures and pressure. There are mostly found in New England, the Piedmont, the Adirondacks, and the Rocky Mountains.
Slate: Slate is a fine-grained and foliated metamorphic rock acquired from an original shale-type sedimentary rock that is composed of clay or volcanic ash through low-grade regional metamorphism. It can mainly be found from certain countries such as Brazil and the United Kingdom.
Schist: Schist is a coarse-grained metamorphic rock that has layers of different minerals and can be split into thin irregular plates It can be found in many countries including Brazil, parts of the US and Ireland.
Igneous Rocks
Igneous Rocks are formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The atoms and molecules of melted minerals are what make up magma. The upper section of the Earth's crust is made up of around 95% igneous rock. There are over 700 different types of igneous rocks but some common examples include basalt, granite, pumice, obsidian, diorite, gabbro and andesite.
The Igneous Cycle
Examples of some Igneous Rocks
Granite: Granite is a very hard igneous rock consisting mainly of quartz, mica, and feldspar and often used as a building stone. They are usually found on continents around the world near active or past plate boundaries.
Diorite: Diorite rocks are usually composed of sodium-rich plagioclase with smaller amounts of hornblende and biotite. It is produced in volcanic arcs, and in by mountain buildings.
Gabbro: Gabbro rocks refer to a large group of dark, coarse-grained, mafic intrusive igneous rocks. It forms when molten magma is trapped beneath the Earth's surface and slowly cools into a holocrystalline mass.
Tools that test hardness in rocks
A fingernail has hardness of 2.5. A copper penny has hardness of about 3.5. A knife blade has a hardness of 5.5. Window glass and steel file have a hardness of 6.5. These following items help show how the items are affected by the hardness of the rock.

New gambling e-tool unveiled
A new e-tool is said to be a breakthrough for the screening and intervention of gambling-related problems.
The Division on Addictions at the Cambridge Health Alliance, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School, this spring rolled out a free online screening and intervention device that they say is the first extremely brief online gambling screen for current gambling-related problems to provide targeted brief interventions.
The three-item Brief Biosocial Gambling Screen is based on the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders criteria for pathological gambling. Individuals complete the anonymous, three-item screen, which then provides a brief intervention and information tailored to the person's potential risk and readiness to change their behavior.
Anyone – including organizations and medical professionals – can link to the Gambling e-Screener and Intervention System (http://www.divisiononaddictions.org/bbgs_new/) or may contact the division to obtain a free version of the original code for the system.
Debi LaPlante, Ph.D., assistant professor at Harvard Medical School and associate director of the division, says the e-tool is both sensitive and specific enough to provide individuals and health care professionals information that could indicate whether the person is experiencing or at risk for a gambling disorder.
Accessing health information online is gaining popularity and is a first line for many people, LaPlante says. "By providing a resource like this, individuals either could get the help that they need – maybe they only need a little bit of instruction that they can get online – or maybe it will send them to a place where they can get more detailed information and counseling or help, if that's what their situation requires."
The screen's brevity may increase the likelihood a person will participate and aids practitioners with limited time and resources. "This will really allow people to understand whether or not perhaps a red flag should be thrown up and if there is, perhaps they should seek out a more detailed diagnostic process," LaPlante says.
Marlene D. Warner, MA, executive director of the Massachusetts Council on Compulsive Gambling, says she likes that the screen is quick. "One of the things we've heard for years from clinicians is, 'We have to screen for so many things, how are we supposed to integrate another screen for gambling?'"
In addition to its brevity, "What's nice about this is that this is really evidence-based screen specific to gambling," she says.
The screen also assesses a person's "readiness" to pursue change. "For people who do screen in and indicate based on our screens that they might not be as ready as other people, research suggests that providing some very basic information and pointing people to additional resources might be appropriate," LaPlante says. "For other people who dictate they are very ready for change, you want to provide some more concrete resources and potential avenues for making those changes.
"Different people have different needs… If you don't meet people where they are, you can turn them off from where they need to go."
The National Council on Problem Gambling links to the e-tool on its Web site. Keith Whyte, executive director, says, "We especially like that it's based on stages of change principles that help people assess where their gambling is at the moment and helps guide them through that stage of change process."
Warner says gambling disorder/pathological gambling still carries a lot of stigma. By offering the screen online, people can learn more, in a discreet manner.
"One of the things we've seen over the past five years or so is that our help line calls have gone down, but hits to our online help pages have gone up tremendously." she says.

TYLER, TX (KLTV) - Every year, Tyler Independent School District encourages their students to take part in College Colors Day, wearing shirts representing their favorite Universities. The main reason is to get the kids thinking about College at an early age.
At Jack Elementary, everywhere you look you see the colors of higher learning and it's a sure bet the school on the shirt is the school they plan on attending...at least right now. But, maybe we should make sure.
"I probably want to go to Baylor," said Graydon Findley, a fourth grader. "Both my parents went there and because one of my best friends - both of his parents went there and we might both go there."
"Definitely Texas Tech," said Casen Salitore, also in fourth grade. "Probably because both my parents went there, and I've seen a lot of their games and I know a lot of good stuff and I'd be a lot of help to them."
"Texas because my whole family - my parents went there and my uncle and Granny and Granddad," said Rhett Parker, a fifth grader.
"I want to go to Texas, UT Texas, because I think that I can learn the most there and it's a good school," said Greyson Preistner who is also in fifth grade.
"ETBU because both of my parents went there and they turned out pretty successful and I want to be successful too," added fifth grader Zoe Hayes.
It is funny how just pulling on a shirt seems to get the kids excited about another four years of school, right after graduating from high school, with only a summer break in between.
"I just want to get it over with," Zoe pointed out.
Well, they say honesty can make you successful, too.
College Colors Day is a national event, and has grown rapidly since it started in 2005. Millions across the country now participate.

Live (Eng sub): Hwayobi's Booty Call28 Feb
One Response to "Live (Eng sub): Hwayobi's Booty Call"
I do like the way you've framed this challenge plus it really does offer me personally a lot of fodder for thought. Around the other hand, from just what I've personally seen, I just merely hope as the actual opinions pile on that men and women keep on issue and in no way embark upon a soap box regarding the news du jour. Anyway, thank you for this fantastic stage and even though I don't go along with it in totality, I worth the viewpoint.

You may have heard, but the Academy Awards has been somewhat reprimanded for its lack of diversity over its acting nominations. Just to remind you, for the second year in a row, all 20 nominations in the acting categories went to white thespians.
While none of these oversights were quite as egregious as David Oyelowo missing out for his performance in Selma last year – as that was one of the best performances of the last 25 years – there's still a hoard of performances that deserved to be recognized in favor of the whitewashing that actually occurred. In fact, here are 6 Academy Award nominations that should have been given to minorities, but were instead overlooked. Can you think of any others?
Best Actor - Idris Elba - Beasts Of No NationIt was always going to be a long shot that Idris Elba would be recognized for his performance in Beasts Of No Nation. The film itself was released on Netflix – something that the Academy still probably can't get their head around – while its campaign for recognition never quite built up the momentum it craved. That doesn't stop Idris Elba's performance in the war drama from being any less dramatic though, as The Wire actor managed to merge charisma and terror into one intoxicating concoction. Just imagine a more guerrilla-style Last King Of Scotland.

ref="http://www.cityam.com/company/entertainment-one-ltd">ENTERTAINMENT ONE (eOne), the firm behind the Peppa Pig children's franchise and the Twilight and Hunger Games films, yesterday announced that it will pay its maiden dividend after posting a 25 per cent rise in annual profits.
The firm, which became the largest independent film company in the world last year when it acquired Canada's Alliance Films, said it had been especially boosted by a roster of film releases such as the final Twilight title, sending box office receipts rising 79 per cent during the year.
The company also benefited from extending Peppa Pig's global reach, including a US launch last year, and eOne's continuing progress will allow it to pay its first-ever dividend next year, chief executive Darren Throop said.
Profits reached £53.8m for the year, while sales were up to £629m.

I am volunteering five mornings and two afternoons a week at the pharmacy in the referral hospital in Rundu. As with most health care positions in the area, the pharmacy is grossly understaffed when it comes to pharmacists. I work with one other pharmacist, Chakanyuka (pictured), who hails from Zimbabwe, and we have 5 pharmacy assistants. We are to manage the medications for a 300 bed hospital, plus all the state outpatients (usually over 300 daily), plus administer and manage all the HIV medications for the thousands of patients in the area.
There are many challenges, as you might expect, but the nature of these challenges actually surprised me. Due to the generosity of foreign donors and programs such as USAID, there are sufficient supplies of antiretroviral medications (ARV) to treat the HIV/AIDS patients in the area. I was also surprised to find the pharmacy was actually quite well stocked with most of the basic medication, as well as secondary therapies for treatment. What I hadn't counted on was the lack of empathy and poor work ethic that pervades the staff of the pharmacy, and most of the hospital as well. Even though we are chronically understaffed, the assistants routinely disappear from the dispensary without notice or warning. Two or three hour lunches seem to be the norm, and there is this unspoken idea that I am not there to assist the staff in there work as we try to improve the poor standard of care, but rather that I am there to do their work so that they can leave to go shopping or other stuff. I have often returned to the dispensary from an errand to find the outpatient window abandoned with a huge queue unattended to, and have had no option but to try my best in broken Rukwangali/charades to assist the patients. My attempts to address these problems have proved to be unsuccessful up to this point.
There are also challenges with the medical staff and physicians, who hail from a number of countries, including the old Soviet Union and Cuba (Cuba apparently has some program whereby they exchange doctors for food, and so these Cuban doctors come for 2 year terms to Africa). While I can speak and communicate in Spanish, that doesn't mean I understand what some of these Cubans are attempting to do, as many of their approaches to medicine are not based on evidence or good practice or rationality. Fortunately the majority of my suggestions about ways to advance patient care have been received positively, and improvement in prescribing patterns have been noticed.
There still remains a lot to do, especially when we are so occupied with the basic tasks and there isn't enough time to address all that we should be. I realize that my training and expertise and experience will probably go underutilized due to the "tyranny of the immediate", but that change can be introduced, even if it is done very slowly. I am continuing to build friendships with my colleagues, which enhances communication and allows me to make more of an impact. I do feel that my presence is appreciated, and there are small victories along the way.

I love living in Madison. It is a very pretty small city with intelligent planning. I have a 15 minute bike ride to work on a rails-to-trails bike path – no cars, just bikes and joggers and walkers. There are several large (250 acre) dog parks close by where we take Lola, our Labradoodle, to swim and play.
I enjoy cooking fine food in a style I call Nouveau American Bistro. I make things like scallops with a grapefruit pan sauce over braised greens. I also do art – water colors and colored pencils mostly though I have done some papercraft stuff.
I'm married to Ena Urbach who is Director of R&D for a small biotech company called eMetagen.
Brief History: I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. I lived in the Palo Alto, California area for several years then moved to Corvallis, Oregon where I lived for seven years. I did a brief stint in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Authorities have reopened the inbound lanes of Lake Shore Drive after a minor traffic accident temporarily blocked traffic.
The collision in the 1500 block of North Lake Shore Drive on the city's Gold Coast brought both a fire truck and ambulance, which blocked southbound traffic for less than a half hour while emergency crews assessed the scene, officials said.
Traffic was reopened once it was determined that no one was injured, Fire Chief Joe Roccasalva said.
Chicago police News Affairs had no details on the accident.

The Carrion Fields: Welcome to the Best of the Best!
In the world of online gaming, it is the human element that brings complexity and consistent replay value. It's a simple fact. Dress it up however you like- there exists at the core of our gamer's heart a driving quintessence of intellectual competition. Born of our cunning and creativity, we constantly strive to outperform, to outdo, and as always, to outkill the rest of the crowd. In today's gaming universe, however, individual accolade and renown are lost in the thousands of pre-teen spamtoons. An atmosphere of true immersion is a laughable prospect. The bells and whistles, the scenery and the stock lineup of faceless "heroes" are easy to play through, and about as much fun, ultimately, as manipulating a clock radio in a too-bright fluorescent padded cell. The human element, in the end, is actually limited so severely by those bells and whistles, by the multitudes of the legitimately immature. To find a reasonable adventure these days, you'd actually have to sit down with a book.
Then again, maybe there's an adventure out there after all. An adventure that started twenty years ago, for me. With the emergence of the famed Copper Diku, a paradigm shock was seeping into the collective consciousness. At the University of Denver, the smartest, most popular American "MUD" had been born. I still know the IP by heart: 126.96.36.199 port 4000. With such successors as Renegade Outpost and Black Knight Diku, the first online gaming experience had been born. There are many reasons why people still play this particular platform, so to speak, but near the top of the list has to be the richness and depth that the combination of the human mind and the English language produces. It is our collective inspiration that crafts the ENTIRE experience, from top to bottom. It is our imaginative firepower that writes the adventure as we live it, in an atmosphere of mature and enforced roleplaying, constantly evolving gameplay that evokes within us a spirit of adaptation and improvisation- qualities that no other game can boast of encouraging, much less requiring.
Carrion Fields has been active and successful since 1994, and has proved the mightiest and truest of spirit in the line of those descendants. A rich, diverse world, staggeringly large and yet familiar after only a short time, amazingly detailed and prosaic in its construction. An Implementor and Immortal staff the like of which cannot be found in any other MUD in history, much less in the faceless, soulless GM-base of online pay-to-play boredom. A playerbase that challenges and inspires the veteran and newcomer alike, while providing an intriguing and helpful welcome to those in search of that true gaming adventure. Now perhaps most seductive of all to the average gamer- by quality of roleplay and gameplay alike, there exists a massive amount of Immortal involvement. The game-staff is constructed from the playerbase as well as the original creators, and thus encourages individual heroism, achievement, and recognition across the board.
The level of customization and the ease of gameplay speak for themselves. I understand perfectly well the contentment of being force-fed someone else's imaginative vision while gaming. I played SWG, I played WoW, I thankfully was never addicted to Evercrack, but I've been there. LOTRO, DDO, you name it. City of Heroes. It almost makes me sick to look back at the list, and realize that the experience I was really looking for was back in the power and eloquence of my own mind, forged in the perfect atmosphere and bent to the task of active gaming and creativity. Pick any of the alternatives I listed above, and by comparison, I was paying $X.XX per month to button-mash. Call it skill-grinding, call it raiding, call it whatever you like. It's button-mashing. It doesn't stimulate. Maybe the whole creative process I put into characters is just button-mashing writ large, but I think I can call a rational defense in its superiority. Also drawing from the list and two decades in online gaming, I would say I'm somewhat qualified.
Just my thoughts, and a freebie for you. If YOU are corporate, PM me for an address to cut a check. Otherwise, post it as you wish.
The Faithful of Nazmorghul
Cheers, and See you in the Fields.

Currently lessons at Thungmaprao High School have been suspended while the students play sports and undertake other activities for a couple of weeks. So this week I taught at two contrasting three day English camps. Both were for government school students, but the first was at a five star resort and the other was in a primary school located in a very small Muslim village.
The camp at the resort was for the most proficient English students from a large high school in Takuapa. The other camp was the first one ever at the little primary school and you can see from the tears in the farewell picture (top left) that it was something very special for the children. The younger children were fascinated and were often found watching at the door and, at the end, some of the mothers were there too.
Both camps were wonderful experiences for me and I have picked up a few new tricks from some of the other teachers. The pictures show that the students enjoyed themselves too.
I have just found out that I am required at Thungmaprau on Monday morning to attend an event and give a speech. As long as no-one puts a microphone in front of me and asks me to sing "If you're happy and you know it" again, I should be fine. Anything but that, please!
And I am back to regular classes on Wednesday.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.

I received my matchbox yesterday from blupaisan!
So I was too eager to open the box and knowing that my perfectionism would make me want "perfect images" I skipped the opening-the-box pictures and ripped right into it. Sorry 'bout that, but my matchbox from blupaisan is absolutely amazing so I'm sure you all can forgive me for not posting me ripping the tape off the box. =D
I unwrapped him from the tissue paper and could not stop giggling! He is soo adorable and incredibly creative! =D

I love this magnet, it's beautiful! It's already on my board in my room!
I don't want to post too many pictures, so if you want to see more, here's the thumbs.
My cat is really interested in my panda too. I think he smells your cats blupaisan! And no, I have no idea what you made the claws out of! I took a macro of the claws so if anyone wants to guess. I just got my new camera so that was fun getting to play some more!
Thank you so much blupaisan, I LOVE my panda! I know I put pandas on my questionnaire, but I don't know if you guessed that I'm OBSESSED with them! I don't know if you can tell, but all the pictures were taken on my panda comforter. =D

1 1/4" wide
This idea was originally published in our 2016 Winter issue. Subscribe today and save off newsstand prices! You'll get ALL the projects delivered to you in six jam-packed issues per year.
*tips: If right handed, placing the lobster clasp on the left side of the bracelet makes it easier to put on your arm. If left handed, reverse sides.
Small snaps or ribbons can be used as closures for the bracelet. If using snaps, cut fabric slightly longer to accommodate the width of the snap on each end.
Place a piece of blue tape inside the pliers to keep them from scratching the metal.
(Note: Use two yard length doubled of black Silamide for all stitching. Place a knot in thread to begin and end thread by running needle under previous stitches on the backside. Check back of suede to see if stitches are going through. Pull each bead stitch snug to ensure all thread is as tight as possible without wrinkling suede. It's helpful to hold beads snug against previous beads with thumb of opposite hand. Secure thread on back side by running under previous worked stitches. To press bracelet, use low temperature and a soft, thick terry towel. Place bracelet right side down on towel. Refer to photo for color placement of beads.)
1. Cut black ultra suede 1¼" wide by length around your wrist minus ½" to allow for catch. Cut a piece of tissue paper in the same size. Cut another piece of black ultra suede 1/16" smaller on all four sides than the first cut piece. Set smaller suede piece aside.
2. Visit www.CraftIdeas.com to print full-size pattern; click on Magazine, then Patterns. Trace pattern onto cut tissue paper from Step 1. Pattern should be ½" shorter than suede to provide ¼" on each end for catch. Center pattern on 1¼" wide suede and pin. Baste tissue paper in place with light grey sewing thread.
3. Work beading through tissue paper and suede. Use Silamide and the bead row stitch to work the pattern across the length of the bracelet. Use Royal Blue, Brilliant Orchid and Periwinkle seed beads for the three wave lines across the bracelet center. Use one color per line. Start each line on the left side and work across area. Remove tissue paper by gently tearing it away from beading. Use tweezers to remove small pieces that are caught under beads.
4. Use Silamide and 5mm silver sequins with a Royal Blue seed bead to create stop bead stitch. Place a silver sequin with a stop bead in each diamond center created by the pattern. Make a tiny straight stitch on backside behind each sequin to secure stop bead. As you move onto the next diamond, slide the needle under a previous stitch on the back to reach the center of the next diamond.
5. Use Silamide and the seed stitch to randomly place glass seed beads above and below the center pattern. Keep beads approximately 1/16" from outer edge of suede.
6. Adhere smaller suede piece from Step 1 to backside of beaded suede using small amount of Fabri-Tac. Press two pieces together and let dry.
7. Use flat pliers to attach clamp to fabric. Center and line up clamp on one end of suede, being sure there's no fabric hanging over the sides. Keep suede straight as you use pliers to press clamp firmly over it; turn clamp over and repeat to secure. Repeat for other end of bracelet.
8. Attach extension chain to right side clamp and lobster clasp to left side of clamp using jump rings and round nose pliers.

Amanda joined Pacific M&A and Business Brokers Ltd. in 2011 with a long history of business ownership and development.
Schooled as an educator at the University of Auckland, New Zealand, Amanda left the discipline early on in favour of a career in business development. Growing up in a family of entrepreneurs fostered her spirit to explore companies that made sound financial sense and had reasonably instant cash flow. Her first foray into business was an automotive interior trim franchise with a large BC territory. Six years later, she successfully sub-franchised the business interests into three separate territories and subsequently sold all three to new operators. At the same time and inspired to satisfy her creative nature, she began the development of a silk-screening company with a focus on wholesale printing of textiles, garments and other printable substrates. Later she added a small to medium format sign manufacturing shop under a separate division – both operated for 15 years in the Vancouver area. After 22 years, her start-up companies are now sold and continue to operate under new ownership – a satisfying testament to some acquired skill, mentorship and a fair amount of sweat equity.
A return to Business School (Sauder School of Business, UBC) inspired Amanda to begin a search to acquire a profitable existing business. In the process she was invited to join Pacific M&A and Business Brokers as a Senior Intermediary, to work on the sell and buy-side transaction of multiple companies from a broad cross-section of industries. Assisting and facilitating in the transition of a seller or a buyer to their next venture, while at the same time avoiding the numerous potential 'potholes' of deal collapse, is a symphony of skills Amanda brings to each stage in the process from valuation to closing.
Amanda has achieved the professional designation of Certified Business Intermediary (CBI) and is a member in good standing of the International Business Brokers Association. She holds a current Commercial Real Estate License in British Columbia. In addition, Amanda is currently the President of IBBA Canada and has served as a member of the Board of Directors of IBBA Canada since 2012– promoting the professional integrity of brokered transactions.
On a personal level she has been an independent professional dancer in Vancouver, teaches ballroom dancing, enjoys sailing, tennis, skiing, biking and yoga among a plethora of 'playground' activities offered up by the good fortune of living and working in beautiful Vancouver and coastal British Columbia.

- Synopsis
- Welcome to Kettle, Wisconsin, a town where everyone knows nothing bad ever happens. Enter Lorelei Taylor-notorious, glamorous, and hot off a not-guilty murder verdict that stunned the nation. To the women of Kettle, bad things seem suddenly inevitable . . . Sarah Gilchrist-A perfect house and garden can't quite make up for a marriage that's a wreck. Sarah is determined to rise above her opinion of Kettle's dreadful newcomer and give her a perfect welcome. But in the face of Lorelei's outrageous provocations, Sarah's control starts to unravel. Erin Hall-What her husband does to her behind closed doors stays hidden. But Lorelei's acquittal gives Erin hope for the first time. Convinced Lorelei did kill her abusive lover . . . and got away with it, Erin thinks she may have some power after all. Lorelei Taylor-In Lorelei's eyes, peaceful, heavenly Kettle could not look any more like hell. She vows to shake up the town-smug, priggish Sarah; mousy, downtrodden Erin; and while she's at it, her widowed neighbor, Mike. Except the harder she shakes, the more the shake-up is happening to her. Sometimes the only thing women on the edge need . . . is a push.

In the second part of Computerworld's Q and A interview Rob O'Callahan, head of Mozilla's New Zealand office, tells Stephen Bell why he moved back to Auckland and explains why he thinks the fact New Zealand universities are so spread out prevents a "critical mass" of talented people working in the same field.
What's the great attraction that brought you back to New Zealand?
The lifestyle's much better here, especially for kids -- I have two children, both born in America. I have family here. I also feel it's a bit ungracious to have a great childhood and a great education almost free and then take off overseas and never come back. You want to give something back to the place where you grew up.
So how do we persuade more people to do that?
We need to make sure there are more interesting jobs here. A lot, probably most, of the so-called ICT jobs here are actually pretty boring. That's one reason for starting a Mozilla office down here.
Another problem is the mindset of global companies. A lot of companies decide how much to pay you depending on what it costs to live in the place where you're working; so you'll get paid much more in London or New York than you will in Auckland. If there were more equality there, more people would be attracted back.
It's a matter of critical mass, too; the more people you have local to you working in the same field the better it is. One of our problems is that our universities are too spread out.
We've spread our money around and established several computing faculties. We'd do a lot better if we focussed our research money on one particular site. Talented people want to move to where there is already a concentration of talent. I've met academics overseas who'd be interested in living in New Zealand; but they want good colleagues and the good colleagues are right now spread among different locations.
Aren't we always told the internet abolishes distance?
Not really, if you compare us to somewhere like Stanford or Carnegie-Mellon, where you've got people working in the same building. Virtual collaboration really doesn't compare, no matter how much you wish it did.
And it never will?
I suppose we could have the technology one day; but even if it does work as well, you'll still have a problem getting people to believe it.
Also, the kind of work we do needs to have an understanding of the whole computing stack right from the hardware up to the high-level software.
You have to understand how [machine] processes work, how machine-code works, how high-level languages like C++ work. We tend not to teach that in New Zealand. Most ICT jobs here are at a high-level where you're basically putting together components to build a specific system for a company. For that, you don't need that kind of [lower-level] knowledge; but for the more interesting work, you do.
It's an economic problem. The students demand the kind of skills for the jobs that are out there, so universities don't teach the low-level stuff. It's a chicken-and-egg situation. That makes it hard for [companies like Mozilla] to grow here and to employ a lot of the people who do apply to us.
We have found some excellent people, but they tend to be self-taught. People we've hired here have typically learned skills on their own. If we had one leading computer-science university in New Zealand, there would be an opportunity to teach those skills.
The other universities could take care of the 'IT-department' kind of skillset.
Part one of Q and A with Rob O'Callahan here.
O'Callahan will be presenting at the ITEX conference at SkyCity in Auckland on Wednesday November 23.

Hey Fam! I did get the Green River Picture, thanks so much! That was really pretty and I'm sure you all had a blast.
I love this work so much! So... here comes a tidal wave of info all scattered abroad! They have an ASTROTURF SOCCER FIELD here and I love it! I play every day and all the little latinos were amazed when I played goalie and not only had some nice saves, but could chuck the ball full field! haha all of their eyes popped up huge as I caught a kick and tossed it the full length of the field to a team mate! I really am Sasquatch in these parts.
The food is 'mas o menos' (more or less) good. Some days I love it, others not so much, but boy do they have good juices! TONS of rice, always juice, and really good bread! Good thing they make you take only 2 or I'd become a round mound of rebound! Oh and strange... I was excited cause I saw cheesecake, turns out the topping was raisins! Interesno... haha. The next few days here are nationally important to Peru and so we had a HUGE buffet today. I've got a picture and found out how to send them, so you'll get a barrage of photos here.
My room is such a blast, we pull pranks on each other and laugh our heads off, even though neither of us know what the others are talking about! They are SUCH a blast and I will have lasting friendships here, what a fun time I've had. EVERYTHING is Spanish here and it is so hard at times, but so worth it! I'm starting to pick up on my companion's accent, but still have a hard time expressing myself. It is frustrating teaching cause you want to express your full heart as I can in English, but there's that language barrier. I then had a humbling experience as I stopped and thought 'you spoke NO Spanish before the mission except for food items at Betos, and look at what you can do now! With simply 4 weeks of Spanish I can say prayers, bear testimony, and carry on a decent conversation, what a miracle the Lord has done for me! The gift of tongues is real, I just need to realize that it doesn't come all in one package, the gift of tongues (as with most things in the Lord's timing) are 'poco a poco' little by little. What a joy that has been for me to look at where I've come, not where I'm going.
Everyone here is so nice, I have lasting friendships throughout the MTC! I'm 'elder español' to one elder cause every day he asks me how my Spanish is coming. He is 'elder english'. One of them really does look like an Ewok, I'll have to get a picture and send it to you all! That's the reason for my title, anyway... the people here have such kind hearts and I don't want to be anywhere else right now. I feel such a love from their kindness, their patience, and their simply genuine care. What a blessing! Oh and ask Ryan McGinn if he knows an Elder Rodgers who ran cross country, he had an SVU shirt on and I asked him about it and he knows him real well and absolutely loves him!
OH HAHAHA back to 'Elder English'... the other night he was taught the song "God be with you till we meet again' and I was laughing so hard as he bumbled around the MTC singing 'Till Me Weet' I haven't laughed so hard in a while!

|Topic Short Facials in NYC/Brooklyn
|By Spaniella On 03/29/04
Hey girls. So winter is over and I feel like I look like an ashtray. I really want to get a facial but I cant swing one of those $85 jobbers. When I was in college in FLA I went to a place that had 1/2 hour facials where it was $30 and they didnt do extraction and they used Dermalogica products, and I looked like a dew-laden rosepetal afterwards. (It probably helped that I was 19 at the time, but whatever.) Anyway, does anyone know of any deals like that around? I can deal with the extraction, or even a long facial, what I am looking for is the cheap aspect. Thoughts?
|By emilygrace On 04/01/04
Supposedly the New York International Beauty School http://www.nyibs.com/home/ will give you a facial for ridiculously cheap... though you will have a student experimenting on you. I couldn't find anything about it on their website, though. Maybe give them a call?

The scholars of at the moment are the employees, citizens and leaders of tomorrow. It adopted a Core Knowledge program that provides a rich, content material-based curriculum across all disciplines. I'll shut with one in all my favorites for classes, displays, clipart, video assets, and activities – by Don and Linn Donn. Down by means of historical past, education has had two nice targets: to assist people become good and to assist them change into good.
Good character will not be fashioned routinely; it's developed over time via a sustained means of instructing, example, learning, and follow. The need for preparation turns into clear as many states mandate or encourage character education programs of their schools (see chart, State Support for Character Education"). After all, simply as we do not know for positive that character education results in better results in the lengthy-time period, we don't know whether character training can change our non-academic outcomes both.
Nevertheless it's not just the fact that the calls for caution from the prophets of the character creed have largely fallen on deaf ears, each on the frontline and in political circles, that is worrying. The cognitive side of character contains at the least six particular moral qualities: awareness of the moral dimensions of the state of affairs at hand, figuring out moral values and what they require of us in concrete instances, perspective-taking, ethical reasoning, thoughtful resolution-making, and moral self-knowledge.
Nicky Morgan, the Schooling Secretary, was for it. Tristram Hunt, the shadow training secretary, agreed. This is the most popular visual aide in educating Character Schooling to students. This policy displays the eight character traits adopted by WCPSS in 1993 and focuses on curriculum, local weather and group involvement as core elements of the Character Training Program.

On June 1 Children's Day, Chunhui Children's Secretary-General Zhang Zhirong, Deputy Secretary-General Rachel and China Care Home Director Liu Shan, together with two administrators of Beijing Civil Affairs Bureau (BCAB), presented themselves at Beijing Relief Center for the Under-aged for a donation campaign themed "Let Your Dreams Fly; Let Your Future Thrive" and hosted by the Charity Office, BCAB. CH was among five charities that donated 20,000 RMB worth of books, stationary, toys, clothes, and food to the Center. After the donation, the charities enjoyed performances by the children there, threw a group birthday party for them and took photos to mark these loving moments.
BCAB acknowledged the charities' loving care for the children, and encouraged more charitable commitment and contribution to the needy groups.
CH has been endeavoring to build up social awareness of orphanage children in joint efforts with China Charities Aid Foundation for Children. CH team began serving for vulnerable children in China as early as 1998, and the foundation was registered in Beijing in 2012.

Currently, it runs six programs covering 11,000 children in over 80 welfare institutions and 40 villages. Showered by the nurturing care of Chunhui moms, the children have a second chance at childhood, their lives have been transformed, they survive and thrive, learn to love and be loved. CH was honored with the highest rating of 5A in 2015 Beijing social organizations evaluation.

How to Get a Domain Name with GoDaddy
The first step to create your own website is to get a domain name. From my experiences over the years, I've found GoDaddy to be an inexpensive, reliable source for my domain names and online projects.
To get a domain name, all you really need is a few dollars for registration, a good name for your domain and about 10 minutes of patience to complete the registration process.
In this hub, you'll learn how to get a domain name using GoDaddy in less than 10 minutes.
Step 1: Choose a Good Name
A domain name says everything about your website; it needs to be easy to remember (like Nike, Amazon or Ebay) but also share what people can expect from your website.
A great domain name is well balanced. Take as much time as you need to come up with a name for your website because it's difficult to change your domain name afterward.
If you need help, use the Google Keyword Tool to generate a list of keywords you could possibly use for your website name that will also help you get higher rankings in Google.
Step 2: Select the Domain Extension
Domain names have a lot of choices for extensions such as .com, .net, .org and many others. Although the extension doesn't really matter, it does for some because everyone generally assumes a domain name will be followed by .com.
Try to snag a .com domain name which will help people easily type in your name to find your website. Otherwise, go for the second best which is .net or if you're an organization, try a .org extension.
In all, you want to aim for the top-tier domain extensions and maybe even purchase the others so people don't come along and "snipe" your domain name which could confuse people.
Step 3: Complete the Purchase
Complete the purchase of your domain name by following through the steps toward the checkout process. GoDaddy throws up a lot of additional offers for other web services but they aren't truly needed at this time especially if you're just setting up your first website.
On the checkout page, setup your GoDaddy account and fill in your credit card information. At this time, you may use a GoDaddy code which will pull down the price of your order (try websites like RetailMeNot to find these codes).
Finally, complete your purchase and verify the information from the email you're sent. Save your email for documentation and reference at a later point. Congratulations, you're done!
Now What?
Now that you have a domain name, you can follow through with setting up a website by purchasing hosting which will allow you to upload website files and have your website online.
The domain name is extremely important because it completely represents your website and online brand. People need to easily place the name, in search engines and the address bar, to find your website so avoid names that are difficult to spell.
The domain name is only one element of getting your website up and running. Once you're online and active with your website, you can do many things like start an online business, sell products online or just write about what you're passionate about.

I joined the community over 5 years ago, and yet, I never felt a part of it. I never wrote journals, I didn't comment on videos, I just sorta ghosted the company and community, but I want to change that starting today. I want to be more involved with the lovely people in the community, the incredible people at RT, and make friends in the process.
I should probably introduce myself then. I'm Jordan, I'm 20, from Birmingham, UK, but now live in Cardiff, Wales. I love comics, PS4, archery, pop punk music, RT (obviously), Mr Robot. I'm sure there's more but I can't remember
