I don't want to steal Haggard's thunder, but maybe you were referring to my reply to your post? It could be the case, since I was the only one who was ranting in this particular thread!Haggard, your rant was well said and I agree with all of it!
Anyway, I think we can all agree that the "Arrow" writers didn't do Laurel/BC any justice, which must be a disappointment for long-time BC fans like yourself. I became aware of the comics after I started watching the show, so I didn't have any specific expectations...I just thought Laurel was an interesting character with all her backstory with Oliver and Tommy and the Queen/Merlyn families.
I didn't expect Laurel to become BC right away, and my frustration with her treatment really started in season two, when she seemed to circulate in her own orbit in relation to Oliver and the team, something which reinforced the (IMHO exclusionary and exaggerated) sentiment among some fans that the "real" and "original/originary" team are Oliver/Felicity/Diggle (which caused some of them to treat Laurel as an unwanted imposter once she put on the mask). I understand that the writers wanted to give Laurel a crucible similar to Oliver and Sara. However, although I appreciated Katie's portrayal of Laurel's trials in season two, I feel that they saddled her with a substance abuse arc that actually undermined her chances of acceptance as a masked hero, especially when Sara arrived on the scene as some ready-made BC substitute. Laurel's marginalization in seasons three and four only reinforced the impression that the producers/writers weren't really invested in giving the Black Canary fans a chance to see her blossom on screen. So, in a way it was maybe better for Laurel's character (and Katie!) to move on, especially since there is still no guarantee that the show will ever fully recover from the season four trainwreck.

The Airbak Zoom Pack may look like an ordinary photo backpack but it's not. To protect your gear while simultaneously helping relieve stress on your back, the Airbak uses a patented, built-in air cushion system to offer support and comfort.
With the bag completely filled with air, the pack sits high on your shoulders to relieve pressure on your spine and improve posture. Instead of putting the stress on your back, the Airbak transfers the weight in the pack to your hips and waist where your core balance lies.
Meanwhile, a pump and a pinhole release in the pack let you adjust the air in the built-in bladder to get the right fit. (If you've ever slept on an inflatable Aerobed, you likely know the drill.)
While a typical pack will bang against your back with each stride, Airbak's air pockets are designed to cushion the impact. The heavy-duty bladder inside the pack can withstand 100 pounds of pressure and will hold air for up to five years without a refill. Otherwise, this photo bag is fairly routine. It's made of lightweight nylon and has those classic, soft photo dividers inside to swaddle your DSLR bodies and lenses. It's super lightweight though, tipping the scales at just over two pounds. And with a retail price of just $79.99, the Airbak Zoom Pack is light on your wallet too.

The Bedroom Makeover That I Had Been Planning For 5 Years!
We bought our new home in July of 2012! We loved the area, the neighborhood, and most of the house. As soon as I walked into the bedroom I knew I would be changing the color! It looked more like a creamy mustard yellow than a beige color to me. It seemed to make the room dark and depressing.
My plan was to start on this as soon as we closed on the house but you know how that goes! It seemed like we were handed the keys and it was time to move in the furniture. After the furniture was in it became a hassle that I didn't have time for. Fast forward five years and I was fed up with this room. We decided to sell all of the furniture (seemed easier than moving it out and back in) and start over!
Let me just say that all of my projects end up being craft projects because I can never find anything exactly the way I want it! The color or something is always wrong!

Case In Point: I could not find a liquor cabinet that would fit in the space I needed so I had to repurpose an old desk hutch.
Or I couldn't find a mirrored sideboard that was tall enough so I bought one with glass windows that I had to remove and cover with mirror paint.
Anyway…back to the bedroom…
Before Pics
The first step was to choose a new color and I wanted gray so this was going to be easy, right? Wrong!
We agonized over this decision because one gray may look darker when it dries or the other may be lighter than I had originally hoped for. We ended up painting 3 walls with 3 different colors and praying that we fell in love with one of them! We decided on Sherwin Williams Pewter Cast. It was not a "fell in love" situation but a "we can't keep going back and forth or the room will never get painted" situation!
Turns out it was the right decision! We love the color!
After painting came the new furniture! That was so exciting as we bought our previous bedroom suit while I waas pregnant 13 years ago! We decided on the Belmar set at Rooms To Go and are so pleased with that decision!
Then the decorating began. This quickly becomes my favorite and least favorite part. I love decorating and crafting but it seems like every time I take on a project it becomes a full blown crafting event. Let's start with my mason jars…
Quart size mason jars (I bought this 12pk on Amazon because I craft all the time but you only need 5)
Rusto-Oleum Primer spray paint
5 small bottles of acrylic paint (I used Americana Warm White, Americana Spa Blue, Americana Aqua Sky, Americana Peacock Teal and Anita's Deep Blue Sea)
Paint brushes (which you may already have but if not I love these and they are under $6!)
I also bought a wall shelf to display my pretty little jars on!
All you have to do is spray paint the jars with the primer. Let them sit untouched for a couple of hours and spray them again. Once you are sure they are completely dry you can start adding color to them. I had to put several coats on them to get the finished look (without brush strokes) that I wanted.
As soon as I was finished with this project I started the next one! I wanted a plaque for the wall that said "You are my bucket list" but I couldn't find one I liked at all, much less one that matched my color scheme. So my next shopping list included a wooden plaque, blush paint and stencils to make this cute little creation!
Next was to include one of my favorite photos from our wedding. I wanted a black and white canvas so I uploaded a wedding photo and ordered a 16×20 through Easy Canvas Prints. The canvas was beautiful and very high quality. The contrast of the black and white was great. They are offering my readers 85% off all canvas prints right now! These make great gifts as well as home décor so click the banner below!
Next Project: Barn Door
I have wanted a barn door since they became "the thing to have" inside your home. Lucky for me, my hubby is almost as crafty as I am! After a few trips to Home Depot and ordering barn door hardware from Amazon we were ready to get started. I could not find the hardware I needed in a store anywhere…maybe you'll have better luck but if not check out the ones that we used from Amazon.
We finally have the bedroom I have always wanted!

Twenty-three stories above Times Square, the windows of the former Vanity Fair offices frame views that look as if they're Michael Wolf's dizzying architectual landscapes. Across 43rd Street, office workers sit at desks—the stacks of which can be seen by floors at a time, while billboards flash and buzz nearby. This cold remove, far above the tourist masses, makes for a fitting backdrop for SPRING/BREAK Art Show, which had asked its exhibitors this year to curate autobiographical work on the theme of "Black Mirror," a device used by the Old Masters to isolate a subject from its surroundings. The open call was a risky stipulation in danger of encouraging the solipsistic, but it mostly paid off. Over 150 curators have brought in over 400 artists—here are eight artists in particular who stood out.

One of the aspects of the Forex market that differentiates it from other financial markets is the concept of currency pairs.
When you take an FX position, you gain exposure to two different currencies. This creates many interesting opportunities, such as the ability to exploit your view of two economies simultaneously. It can also be complicated to judge the performance of a currency in isolation.
Consider the Euro/US Dollar currency pair (EUR/USD). If it has gained strongly on the day, is it because EUR is doing well or because USD is doing poorly?
This article will look at a solution to this problem – an online indicator called a currency strength meter that has been updated to a much better version in 2017 as a part of our MetaTrader 4 Supreme Edition. This Forex meter shows which currencies are strong and which are weak, reflecting movement in the form of a matrix. By using a proper strength meter, you will have another tool in your favour that will make you a profitable trader.
There are quite a few issues with poorly coded currency strength meters. If a currency strength meter doesn't give accurate currency strength indicator values, it's of little use regardless of its other features. With outdated currency strength meter traders might, but not necessarily, experience:
Some products might even produce data that's moved away from the original concept of what currency strength actually is. Some apply smoothing filters, like moving averages. Some apply other filters, e.g., RSI and MACD. This is just a complex algorithm of indicators that might make you enter false trades and losing streak.
The real strength of currency trading comes from correlation. Correlation matrix has been coded properly, using the latest technologies, and is unlikely to cause any of the above-mentioned issues.
Over the years, Forex strength meter has naturally evolved into a correlation matrix that could also be more complex and accurate. Forex Correlation, like other correlations, is a term designated to signal correlation between two of the pairs. When two sets of data are strongly linked together, we say they have a high correlation. When pairs move in the same direction, they have a positive correlation, and when they move in the opposite direction, we observe a negative correlation between them. A perfect correlation occurs when pairs move in the same direction, which is extremely rare. We say that correlation is high when pairs move in almost the same direction.
Elimination of double exposure: Opening multiple positions with pairs that are highly correlated is not advisable as it gives rise to more exposure. Moreover, having higher exposure to a particular currency can be harmful should the analysis go wrong. For example, by going long on AUD/CHF, AUD/JPY, and EUR/JPY, a trader gives rise to double exposure if they are highly correlated. Digging deeper, the aforementioned positions bring double exposure to AUD and JPY, which can be harmful for trade should the movement go in the opposite direction from the trader's expectations. Knowing the correlation levels between different currency pairs, a trader can get the idea of how they are connected to each other and avoid double exposure to a weak currency.
Elimination of unnecessary hedging: If the correlation strength between different pairs is known in advance, a trader can avoid unnecessary hedging. For example, there is a negative correlation between EUR/USD and USD/CHF that restricts taking positions in the same direction. The reason is when you win on one trade, you are more likely to lose on another trade, whereas the volatility makes it uncertain whether the gains will surpass losses or not.
Signals high risk trades: Correlation between different currency pairs can also signal the amount of trade strategy risk. For example, if we are going long on EUR/USD and GBP/USD, and both are positively correlated pairs, it signals a possible double risk from the same position if one of the currencies is strong. It might also happen that one of the pairs is indicating a strong movement, while the other is just ranging, which signals to avoid entering trades with correlated pairs in the opposite direction. For example, if the EUR/USD is witnessing a downtrend, and the GBP/USD is ranging, a trader should avoid going long on GBP/USD, which carries a higher downside risk due to a possible USD strength.
Positively correlated pairs pairs have shown positive correlation between them, thereby, they move in a similar direction. Negatively/inversely correlated pairs tend to trade in the opposite direction from each other.
Correlations are also divided into four groups in accordance with their strength. For easy viewing, all correlations in the following table are coloured to show their strength, as is noted below:
MetaTrader 4 is an extremely widespread FX trading platform. One of its advantages is the ability to download and use custom indicators and Expert Advisors (EAs).
The MetaTrader 4 platform comes with a useful selection of popular indicators built into the client terminal. You can also download independently written custom indicators.
As MetaTrader 4 is an open platform and has such a wide community of users, indicator innovations move fast. There are thousands of custom indicators available for analysing the Forex market using different algorithms.
You can search for custom indicators from within the platform. Some charge money for the full version, but some are entirely free to download, such as our award-winning MT4SE.
Whenever you consider paying for a trading aid, remember that any reputable provider will offer a free trial version, and you can even program an algorithm yourself.
We recommend you to download MetaTrader 4 Supreme Edition – an extended version of the client terminal. It includes many features; not just the currency strength meter, but also a live trading simulator to backtest strategies. It also lets you add different custom indicators and EAs you might benefit from.
Once you've downloaded your MetaTrader 4 Supreme Edition that includes our currency strength meter, you are set to go!
How to download:
Watch the video below for the full instructions how to set up your currency strength meter on your Admiral Markets' MetaTrader 4.
The chart above shows a Forex strength meter in the form of a unique correlation matrix.
The strength of each of the major currencies is indicated by colours as we noted in the above paragraph. The currencies are also listed by different colours. This allows you to see at a glance how strong or weak different currencies are.
Easy, don't you think?
In the example above:
Equally important, whether the correlation is positive and/or negative is what matters.
In the Forex market, currency units are quoted as currency pairs. The base currency – also called the transaction currency – is the first currency appearing in a currency pair quotation, followed by the second part of the quotation called the quote currency or the counter currency.
The example above shows that CAD is the strongest as it shows +91 correlation between USD/CAD and EUR/CAD (CAD is the quote currency). The weakest correlation is between EUR/GBP (GBP is quote currency) and GBP/CHF (GBP is the base currency) – -96 – which means that the simultaneous positions in this pair in the same direction are very likely to cancel each other out, indicating the GBP strength.
Some currency meters may also provide trading signals, alongside Forex currency strength. The given example combines currency strength with a momentum-style measurement to indicate buy and sell signals for a wide number of pairs.
It shows a green up-arrow when the first (base) currency is strong and the second (counter) currency, weak. A red down-arrow denotes that the base currency is weak and the counter currency, strong.
This allows you to identify which pair has the potential to move in a certain direction.
A Forex currency meter looks at all the common currency pairs and evaluates the strength/weakness level for each individual major currency, in real time. It takes into account both the base and quote currencies.
Positive Green: Little or no correlation. Positions on these symbols will tend to move independently and have profitability, which is not related to each other.
Negative Green: Little or no correlation. Positions on these symbols will tend to move independently and have profitability, which is not related to each other.
Positive Blue (up to +30): Weak correlation. Positions on these symbols will tend to move independently and have profitability, which is not related to each other.
Positive Blue (up to +49): There may be similarity between positions on these symbols. Positions in the same direction may have similar profit. Positions in the opposite direction may offset each other.
Negative Blue (up to -30): Weak correlation. Positions on these symbols will tend to move independently and have profitability, which is not related to each other.
Negative Blue (up to -49): There may be similarity between positions on these symbols. Positions in the same direction may offset each other. Positions in the opposite direction may have similar profit.
Positive Orange (up to +75): Medium positive correlation. Positions in the same direction on these symbols will tend to have similar profit. Positions in the opposite direction will tend to cancel each other out.
Negative Orange: (up to -75): Medium negative correlation. Positions in the same direction on these symbols will tend to cancel each other out. Positions in the opposite direction will tend to have similar profit.
Positive Red: (up to +100): Strong positive correlation. Positions in the same direction on these symbols are very likely to have similar profit. Positions in the opposite direction will cancel each other out.
Negative Red: (up to -100): Strong negative correlation. Positions in the same direction on these symbols are very likely to cancel each other out. Positions in the opposite direction will have similar profit.
It's a relatively simple concept that allows you to judge the raw strength of a currency in isolation, as opposed to seeing what it is doing against another currency.
The calculation method may vary according to which Forex meter you use. One of the best known measures of a currency in isolation is the above-mentioned base vs quote currency concept. This gauge calculates the value of all available currencies relative to each other.
These currencies are:
A less-known, but more comprehensive measure is the broad USD index, which uses a wider selection of currencies.
Both work in a similar way. They calculate the strength of the Dollar by aggregating bilateral exchange rates into a single number and applying a weighting for the currencies included.
The weighting applied for the broad index is a trade weighting, derived from trade data. Specifically, this is the share of merchandise imports in annual bilateral trade with the U.S.
Currency meters work in a similar way.
They use the exchange rates of different currency pairs to produce an aggregate, comparable strength of each currency. Simple meters may not use any weighting, while more advanced ones may apply their own weightings. They may even combine other indicators with the currency strength measurement, to provide trading signals.
In terms of our correlation matrix – true strength currency meter uses complex algorithms, but is very easy to use. It even allows you to choose a strength for a certain period of time. For intraday trading, we recommend up to 200 bars, while for scalping, up to 50 bars should be enough.
Scalping: M5, 50 bars
Intraday trading: H1, 200 bars
Intra week swing trading: H1, 500 bars or H4, 200 bars
You typically use an FX strength meter as a short-term indicator. It is useful as a quick guide to which currencies are on the rise, but it's more of a snapshot than anything else.
A major advantage of the Forex strength meter is how simple it is to understand. This is especially appealing to the novice trader. You don't need to be a Forex market expert because you can just look at a simple graphical representation and see which currencies are faring well or badly.
There are weaknesses as well, though.
The indicator only communicates a very narrow piece of information. Therefore, it is worth considering how currency strength and weakness fit into the bigger picture.
Are there fundamental reasons that support the currency meter's story? Does the currency meter tell the story like other indicators? Will the trend continue?
You may find the utility of a currency strength meter limits itself.
Like most technical tools, it's more useful when used in conjunction with other indicators. For example, you might want to use a strength meter to complement or confirm what other signals are saying.
Source: GBP/JPY M30, Admiral Markets MT4, June 21 20:00 Platform Time
The image above shows the GBP/JPY chart, with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator applied. The RSI attempts to identify when an instrument is oversold or undersold.
However, there's another slight drawback. The methodology behind standard indicators is well-known, but the precise calculations used for custom strength meters from unknown sources tend to be vague.
Still, a Forex strength meter can provide a convenient guide of how each currency is faring and supplementary info for working with more in-depth indicators.
If you do decide to try out a currency strength meter, it's a good idea to test it in a risk-free environment. Try experimenting with real-time market prices testing our free demo trading account to see how well it works for you!

I spent the past weekend pulling my jeans out of storage for the first time in months, and I'm trying to plan some eye-catching fall outfits to wear when I go out. Jeans are a great fall/winter alternative for the lightweight slacks and khakis you've been wearing all summer for parties and outings. Jeans are warmer and more durable than slacks, plus they won't show the stain when you spill half your cider on your pants (it can happen to anyone guys). With fall fashion in mind, here's our quick guide to dressing up your jeans.
I recommend going with dark denim for nicer outfits. Dark denim looks sleeker and less, well, denim-y--a bit more sophisticated, a lot less cowboy. Wide-leg pants are making a comeback this season, but I would choose something that flares at the bottom, like a boot-cut, while still hugging your legs and waist a bit up top. Baggy pants tend too look informal, and, in my opinion, a bit juvenile. Show off those legs instead.
First up is your shirt. A good dress shirt instantly makes any jeans outfit seem more formal. A quick word of caution, though: you don't want to choose a shirt that's too formal, otherwise it will clash with the jeans. (Also, you don't want to risk damage to your nicest shirts by wearing them all about town.) So, hang that extra-fancy Italian-made shirt back up and save it for a suit. A nice Oxford button-down, like this striped shirt from Lands' End or this grey twill shirt from J. Crew, would hit that perfect mid-point between dressy and casual. While solid colors do fine with denim, pairing patterned shirts with jeans can create a more eye-catching look. This checked purple shirt and dotted navy shirt, both from Bonobos, are bright and fun without being too bold.
I'm only a recent convert to the blazer-and-jeans look on guys, but it's starting to grow on me. A nice navy blazer never goes out of style and can create a cool faux-suit appearance, but a gray blazer creates a nice color contrast and is in line with this year's fall fashion. However, this is also the sort of outfit that's great for breaking out a nice sweater to wear over your dress shirt (see our guide for that here).
Remember that accessories make an outfit--that adage is especially true when it comes to sprucing up a pair of jeans. You definitely want to pick a good belt to wear with the outfit; it makes the jeans look nicer and draws eyes to your shirt. I'm a fan of this brown brass belt from Todd Snyder (somebody I know is getting it for Christmas). I think that it's fine to wear a tie with a jeans outfit, but remember our rule that you don't want something that looks too formal. Rather than compliment your jeans, a silk tie will stand out too much and just look wrong with the outfit. Instead, try a wool necktie, like these blue and gold herringbone ties from Bonobos; both invoke a real sense of autumn. For a bolder choice, this cable-knit tie from Lands' End is unique and looks like a more formal version of a scarf.
The main goal with any dressy jeans outfit is to make the jeans look more formal and exciting than they actually are. The result is an outfit that looks nice for going out but is comfortable to wear; it feels a bit like cheating the fashion system in a fun way. Start mixing and matching with your favorite dress shirts and accessories to create a look that's right for you. Feel free to share some of your new fall outfits with us on Facebook!

Discuss the massively-multiplayer home defense game.
You are not logged in.
Pages: 1
You used to start each new life with $500 on your head.
Josh pointed out that this made money too easy to come by (from suicide runners). I've reduced it down to $100.
The bounty still goes up by $500 for each vault reached and $1000 for each family member killed. Thus, entrapping a seasoned robber will bring you a lot more bounty than entrapping a suicide runner with nothing to lose.
A starting bounty of $100 seems a bit low. The suicide runners get a free look at your house, and some can make it quite far. $500 was probably too much though, I could see $250 being reasonable.
My iOS game Metal Masher check it out! www.MetalMasher.net
I actually think $100 starting bounty is a really good change thematically and gameplay-wise. If you have never committed a murder or successfully robbed another person, you shouldn't have hardly any bounty on your head. This should reduce the cash-flow going to people with multiple accounts that just constantly suicide into their own houses to build their cash piles, and make it necessary for starting people to have to make some risks by attempting a couple of robberies. Before, if you could make a decent little trap with your starter cash, you could just sit back and wait for 4 suiciders to completely recoup your startup costs. Now if you want to upgrade/expand your home defenses you also have to participate in some successful robberies to supplement your income. Remember: YOU ARE A DESPERATE MAN IN DESPERATE TIMES! Anything that increases incentives to take risks/rob houses is both good thematically and for the game itself rather than just having 20 houses that just turtle and never take a peak outside.
Love the game, and glad I came back after a few months off to see how its been progressing. Keep up the awesome work Jason!
Suicide runners are really "throw-away" lives... I don't want to value them too much. You should REALLY be rewarded for building a house that is tricky enough to kill someone who has something to lose.... someone who is trying not to die.
Chills do bring a cost to suicide running, but right now, the cost isn't very high (one hour). That cost may go up in the future by increasing the chill time, which would make every robbery count more.
Still, even if the chill timer is 24 hours (extreme), there are times when you'd feel like risking a bunch of suicide runs in all available houses, just to blow a bunch of throw-away lives and try your luck. This risk-free-mode is not ideal, in my view, but I can't conceive of a way to prevent it.
After this change was made, I noticed the game speed has slowed down about 10 times. Which may or may not be a good thing depending on how you think the game should be. Having a slower game allows more people to play without having to babysit their houses so much. They can leave for a day or more and not worry that they will have $80k built up. But on the other hand, with the $500 starting bounty, seeing the houses change so fast was crazy and there was high cash flow, which was a bit more thrilling, and there was always money to attempt a robbing spree on other houses. But $500 was probably too much.
So in conclusion, the speed and cash flow of the game can be finely tuned by changing the starting bounty parameter.
My iOS game Metal Masher check it out! www.MetalMasher.net
I definitely like how you don't have to babysit your house as much now - as nice as it was to have several people kindly suicide in your house for thousands of dollars, more often than not someone ends up robbing you before you can put it to good use.
There definitely seems to be more houses now, which could be because there are less people robbing (they don't want to rob if they don't have certain tools, and they can only afford those tools by getting suicide kills). However, this might give actually give an incentive to big houses to start robbing - if they're not getting as much money from suicide robbers, they're going to have to resort to other methods to get money, either by improving the trickiness of their home to get valuable kills, or to start robbing other houses.
Fortress Theory Mod - New objects, tools, and paintings!
I keep dying of a natural cause - Stupidity
The biggest thing that Castle Doctrine has taught me is that the price of your house is proportional to the stupidity of the mistake that kills you.
Lowering bounties seems to have slowed the pace down quite a lot. I personally prefered to come back and see that I earned a lot of money but my house was solved or brute forced, rather than seeing I earned $200 over the day with no interesting tapes to watch.
New life suicide runners are usually pretty risky to your house in my experience. They will almost always come in with $2000 worth of tools, will not back out of your house until they die or reach the vault, and are not necessarily any worse or better at the game than people with houses. It takes a long time now to save up for a single tool, making suicide runners even more dangerous than homeowners.
Currently it seems that the primary source of house income is through starter account tools as a robber dying in your house with just one saw left on its own will give you twice their bounty in value. My house to now has had a bounty income of $500 and tool income of over $3000. So a good strategy is to build a house that kills people by surprise before they get to use all of their tools or traps them in such a way that what they are holding can't be used to escape. I guess this is more interesting than a commit gate leading to a combo lock to start. This kind of setup doesn't really encourage bringing tools along.
When it comes to the effectiveness of suicide runs I'll admit they are quite powerful. Yesterday after a few runs I was able to get to the vault of every single house except the top three combo houses, most without tools by the end. What this means is that having some form of combo system that can withstand $2000 scouting is essential for a top level house. Lewis had a clever setup which meant that even with only 4 buttons it was still highly unlikely anyone would get it by chance so his house was basically starter proof.
I think $200 starting bounties should be given a try. It should speed things up a little without making surviving the night impossible for new houses and still encouraging houses not to just feed off no tool suicide runs. Perhaps with this the sale value of tools should be decreased to 1/4 meaning that you can't just rely on tool dumps to build your house and to encourage houses to actually use the tools.
Update: Despite what I said above, bounties now make up the vast majority of my current house's income. RIP Mr Noel.

Interesting issue!
Looking at the stats, I definitely see a huge drop in all activity as soon as starting bounties were reduced by 5x. People started building less, robbing less, and so on.
I'll try upping it to 200 and see what happens.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Alabama retailers are getting ready for the annual tax free weekend for back-to-school merchandise.
The state will waive its 4% sales tax from Friday, Aug. 2 through Sunday, Aug. 4. The Alabama Retail Association reports that a record 274 Alabama cities and counties are waiving their local sales taxes during that weekend.
Items covered by the tax holiday include clothing priced at $100 or less, school supplies costing $50 or less, books that cost $30 or less, and computers and computer equipment selling for $750 or less.
The Retail Association says Alabama is 1 of 17 states with back-to-school sales tax holidays. Florida and Tennessee are having their holidays the same time as Alabama. Georgia's tax holiday is the weekend after Alabama's.

Bridal Expo
A few weeks ago, I participated in my first bridal expo, ever. After almost 10 years as a wedding photographer, you'd think that this would be one of the first marketing avenues I'd explored but I've always pushed it aside in favor of other strategies.
But this year, I wanted to try different things in my business and when the opportunity arose, I jumped on the invitation from the Metropolis Ballroom in Arlington Heights to be one of their vendors at their boutique bridal show.
Let me tell you, vendors go ALL OUT at these things! I actually put a lot of thought into my booth and since I had no idea what I was doing I went for a more minimalist approach, just to be safe.
I learned something that day. That when it comes to presentation and spectacle, I am no Steve Jobs.
Whereas Steve Jobs' simple designs made Apple products incredibly beautiful, my booth just looked sad. I honestly felt laughably embarrassed standing in front of it and maybe even a little disrespectful towards the wonderful venue that so graciously invited me.
However! Maybe people could sense my sadness because everyone was so very nice. I got to meet and network with many vendors and couples which made me feel a lot better. In fact, I might do it again next year!
But for now, I'm going to stick to what I do best: making photographs!

Loome Tools
Are you ready to pom pom?
We are, thanks to the Loome Tool.
We're very picky about tools. A tool has to earn its place alongside our stitch markers and swan scissors.
You can improvise pom poms and tassels with a piece of cardboard, but the process gets a whole lot easier, and the results get a whole lot nicer, when you use the Loome Tool. And to top it all off, it's very satisfying and simple to use.
We offer two versions of the Loome Tool: the compact Robot Model, and the Slingshot XL, for larger pom poms, and the handy grip that helped David take care of Goliath.
The how-to is easy, thanks to the Loome Tool's excellent short videos and printable step-by-step tutorials.
Specs & Details
Slingshot XL 7": 7.35" H x 3.20" W (18.67 cm H x 8.13 cm W)
When it comes to tools, simple is best, and multi-purpose is even better. When we saw the Loome Tool in action, it became our tool of choice for making pom poms and tassels, and also for whipping up a braided cord or friendship bracelet if the mood should strike. (It's nice to know we're ready for that situation.)
Cassie Hull used the Loome Tool to make the flufftastic pom poms and tassels featured in Field Guide No. 3: Wild Yarns.
The how-to is easy, thanks to the Loome Tool's excellent short videos and printable step-by-step tutorials.

What You Can Learn From the Winners of the ABC Kids Expo's Product Awards
The ABC Kids Expo sees about 900 exhibitors utilizing 3,000 booths in nearly one million square feet of exhibit space, and it is currently one of the fastest growing trade shows in North America. Last month, seven winners were awarded the ABC New Product Showcase Awards of Distinction.
The winners of the Expo's New Product Showcase shone a bright light on expected trends for this year. Here are some of the standouts from the awards:
Baby Gear – Technology for babies has been around since the invention of the baby monitor . Since then, tech has grown to include many innovations in nurseries across the globe. This year, we saw brands like Halo Innovations bring "all-in-one soothing stations" to the table. Equal parts white noise machine, bassinet vibrator, and nightlight, they includes two levels of soothing vibrations, three different sounds, and an LED starry night ceiling projector.
Toys – Of course, toys are nothing new to the industry, however, consumers are looking for non toxic, made from 100% recycled materials, USA-made toys. The award winning Green Toys Farm Play set offers a toy set that contains no BPA, phthalates or PVC, meets FDA food contact standards and is dishwasher safe. The toys are also packaged with recycled and recyclable materials and printed with soy inks and are made in the USA.
Baby Care/Safety –Safety innovations for the bathtub are highly coveted considering more than half of drownings among infants occur in bathtubs. The Expo honored Baby Dam Bathtub Divider because it easily sections off a smaller space in the bathtub, creating a safe, eco-friendly, and more comfortable bathing space for babies.
Furniture/Bedding – Natural and organic furniture/bedding are top trends as non-toxic and safe places for baby remain a priority. Lorena Canals offers 100% natural washable handmade rugs, providing a safe play area for baby or kid(s). Each rug uses natural dyes, and is in compliance with quality and safety regulations – they are also biodegradable.
Maternity – Any trend that helps bring comfort to new Mom's and their changing bodies is a trend worth paying attention to – back pain, swollen ankles and tender knees are all top complaints on almost all mom-to-be's checklists. 2016 Expo winner, Mommy Steps Maternity Insoles, are bio-mechanically designed to help alleviate these common foot problems before the start, bringing new Mom's much needed relief.
Brands working in the Kids & Baby industry can take note of the Expo award winners and the products they've created. Safety, natural, nontoxic options are a common theme.

THE SOMEBODY BEFORE THE NOBODYIn Kingdom Hearts II, Saix's never given a person to match up with as his somebody. The rule of the Organization is that they place an "x" in your name to become a Nobody. Saix with out an "x" can be any of the following names:
- Sai
- Sia
- Sai
- Sia
- Ias
- Isa
NAME: Isa
NOBODY: Saix
HOME WORLD: Radiant Garden
PERSONALITY: Like his Nobody Saix, Isa is much quieter and more mature than his companion, Lea, with a similar speaking tone. He has no interest in fighting on Lea's side in a childish challenge, but is shown smiling as Lea and Ven fight. He is shown having a more carefree personality compared to his Nobody and values his friendship with Lea. He also has a comical side, as he jokingly tries to forget about his friendship with Lea. He is rather sarcastic and doesn't hesitate to mock Lea after he loses his fight with Ventus, though he does so jokingly.
"A serene and self-possessed boy who always has time for a quick quip at his best friend Lea's expense. " - Square Enix
Isa is the original persona of Saix, and a close friend of Lea, Axel's original persona. He appears in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, as a teenager, alongside Lea. At an unknown point in time, Isa's heart was consumed by darkness, turning him into a Heartless. However, his strong heart and will gave him the ability to continue on as a Nobody: Saix. Some time later, Organization XIII found his Nobody, who received the name Saix and was inducted into their ranks as Number VII. It is known that he joined alongside Lea, and the two had a secret, unknown plan.
1. "Lea, we don't have time for this."
2. "From where I stood, the only thing you drew was a big L on your forehead for "Loser"..."Lame", "Laughable"..."
3. "Oh, you mean I was supposed to lie."
4. "What is it with you and picking up stray puppies?"
5. "I know I won't forget you. Believe me, I try all the time."

This game is looking so good to be name Killzone 2. It should have been name just killzone since the first one was just plain crap.
the psp version could it be KillZone 2 and This should have been the begining of liberation (to next gen fps) :)
the original killzone wasnt the best but it sure wasn't crap, killzone 2 is fine but this game will definitley take the series to new levels
I am still waiting for the stuff where light shines through bullet holes that you create...that will be the absolute coolest thing in a shooter ever...
but the first Killzone was not crap dude. It's actually pretty damn fun and (I really hate reviews - just ask Paul Cerula) actually still holds an average 8.2 to 8.7 user and reader rating over at GameSpot.
I love the original KILLZONE score in the background. "Our forefathers embarked on the greatest exodus in the history of all mankind...."
Reminds of a great intro to one of MY old favorites:
I would have to agree with you BIGPOPPAGUNZ. I have s feeling this could be either Sonys Halo or Sonys Gears. But we will have too wait and see how could this game actually is. But you guys should also check out www.Killzone.com They update often with news and info. But it will show up on here anyways. But you can also join and submit your thoughts for Killzone 2 on forums for the developers. Theres still 6-8 months too go on the game. So it should look good.

in sohar, in oman, virtually everybody has a back yard or front yard well
cleaning them is a major effort. usually when it is about 50+ degrees C outside.
In this kind of work, the men only wear a thin cotton wazir, about 2x1 meters of pure cotton cloth, with very narrow(1cm) bright red, green, blue and orange dyed or embroidered striping on the long edges and each side and decorative knots on the short side where the cloth is cut.
if the muck is really awful, they tuck it up like in an indian village.
most wells are deep and quite cold at the bottom.
waterworks of any kind, irrigation, underground water tunnels are a communal responsibility and have been built by local communities in oman for at least 10,000 years using locally organized and directed voluntary communal societies. the local community voted for a head man who did all the engineering, and logistics, collected the money, paid for things, and appointed teams and hours and work plans. If you decided not to join the society though, you didn't get any of the community water...
in my back yard, four men, the owner about 70 years old and three of his sons worked three days and had to stop collecting the dates in my garden. i think they collected about 300 or 400 grams of dates or more, after the electric pump in my well was repaired, and the pipes all cleaned out, and the muck and trash were hauled out of the well. i made ice tea. from bottled water since the well was all muck.
they found several goat heads and other goat bones, bits of plastic containers, and some toys, and some beer bottles and lot of cigarette butts, and some unidentifiable bones, (or at least they weren't going to identify any endangered species to me, as the penalties are really severe. the most severe anywhere. i believe.) pots, pans, and miscellaneous unidentifiable shards of stuff.
the father wouldn't allow any of his kids to shimmy up the tallest date trees because he didn't trust them not to fall down.

A kicker or an offensive lineman? Penn State kicker Joey Julius weighs in at 271 pounds
Penn State kicker Joey Julius might physically resemble an offensive lineman, but don't be deceived.
The program listed its starting place kicker at 5-foot-11 and an eye-popping 271 pounds on its updated roster. Last season, Julius weighed 259 pounds as a redshirt freshman.
Please allow yourself to get acquainted with Joe Julius, Penn State's 259-pound kicker. cc: @piesmantrophy pic.twitter.com/sfDimYRKvj
— Dr. Saturday (@YahooDrSaturday) September 5, 2015
Julius was relatively effective last season and quickly became a fan favorite in Happy Valley. He converted 10-of-12 field goal attempts and went 20-for-24 on point-after tries. He also has a pretty strong leg, averaging 61.96 yards per kickoff and booting 22 touchbacks.
Just don't expect Julius to make many tackles on the kickoff team this season.

Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Director-General Ahmet uzumcu met on Wednesday with Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg and Minister of Foreign Affairs Borge Brende to give an update on the state of chemical weapons in Syria.
uzumcu also discussed options for Norway's participation in eliminating Syria's chemical weapons.
"This challenging undertaking requires solid international cooperation and strong collective commitment in order to be conducted safely and as swiftly as possible," uzumcu said. "I am grateful to Norway for its strong support to the OPCW-UN Mission in Syria, through a voluntary contribution to the Trust Fund for Destruction and through an offer for maritime assistance."
uzumcu said an updated and detailed plan for the removal and destruction of chemical weapons from Syria will be presented next week.
uzumcu also met with Olemic Thommessen, the president of the Norwegian Parliament, and Anniken Huitfeld, the chairwoman of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence.
During the meetings, uzumcu talked about Norway's continued collaboration with the Chemical Weapons Convention. He said support for a stronger involvement of non-governmental organizations would show a "remarkable awareness of the significance of the Convention and of the necessity to broaden its scope and its reach."
"I am looking forward to the continued cooperation with the Norwegian authorities" uzumcu said.

The difficulty in developing a vaccine for RNA viruses lies in their ability to change rapidly and evolve to evade the host immune system and grow resistant to drug treatments. These RNA virus populations are often heterogeneous; composed of a group of related members, known as a quasispecies.
Until now, there have been no reliable systems to predict mutations responsible for the emergence of new viral strains. Traditional sequencing methods do not have the resolution needed to identify the mutations that create these subpopulations and thus cannot differentiate the mutations responsible for virus survival and adaptation.
Pine Biotech utilizes a combined biological and computational method to accurately measure the mutations of various RNA viruses, including Poliovirus. The biological method, known as CirSeq1, improves traditional sequencing methods. CirSeq allows for the identification of individual viral strains within a population, through highly accurate sequence data. In parallel, the utilization of our innovative sequencing platform allows for a new genetic approach to study the evolution of viruses within the context of their host. CirSeq works by converting viral RNAs into circular molecules. Viral mutations remain within the circular copies while errors are avoided.
When CirSeq was applied to poliovirus, researchers were able to define single nucleotide mutation rates and established a platform for studying the underlying evolution of virus populations in human cells. Additionally, this method can be used to determine the fitness of each base at every position in the genome, allowing analytical determination of which bases are neutral and which have been positively or negatively selected. This information can, in turn, be used to develop new innovative techniques.

To practice multi-cultural supervision creatively means to enable experiences of the other to emerge. How-ever, it is clear that supervision cannot be a substitute for therapy as the ideal safe place for this.
When we talk about cultural differences between supervisor and supervisee we say that one of them is bi-cultural: the culture of the heritage and the culture of the actual social world mix in one person. My own experience of becoming bi-cultural somehow forced me to a new cultural identity.
The paper of Sapriel and Palumbo (2001) is a good example of how these two authors were able to understand their culture and its implications for their therapeutic work. Lolita Sapriel and Dennis Palumbo present their personal history as their way into bi-lingualism and bi-culturism. In their added clinical vignettes we learn how their cultural context including their "Organisation Principles" (Sapriel and Palumbo, 2001) is one of the contexts to find meaning with their clients. Sapriel and Palumbo illustrated "how cultural biases and specific familial dynamics can join in influencing both therapist's and client's organisation of experience, and the always present danger that the therapist's assumptions about the patient (either of perceived social/cultural similarity or dissimilarity) can obscure the appreciation and investigations of the patient's personal universe" (p.95). They conclude that both "Gestalt therapy and intersubjectivity theory (a relational, psychoanalytic theory) are viewed as being ideally suited for cross-cultural application as they reject the notion of only 'one truth', are contextual and field-theory based, and respect the phenomenology of subjective experience" (p.86). This paper also confronts us with the existence of female and male cultural subworlds within a culture. The complexity of culture in its vitality within a person will have to be understood in relation to many other factors like social status, gender. etc.
A german expression says that it is better to stand on both legs. I want to apply this to the field of cultural differences in supervision. The transmission of knowledge is a good leg to stand on. But it also needs emotional confrontation leading to experiences and awareness.
Key words: multi-cultural, bi-cultural, subworlds, complexity, transmission of knowledge

This page describes the obsoleted official "HabitRPG" mobile apps. They are no longer functional as of July, 2016. They have been replaced by new apps:
These apps are no longer recommended for use although they are still available to players who have installed them in the past. Log in using the same details you use at the Habitica website. Please do not report bugs or make feature requests because these apps will not be modified again.As of 30 July 2016, these apps are completely non-functional because they used the deprecated API v2, which was removed on that date.
Under the Tasks page, you can create, check off, and edit Habits, Dailies, To-Dos and Rewards, by clicking on their respective icons on the bottom of the screen. The "Habits" portion of this screen automatically opens when the app is started.
Creating, Editing, and Reordering tasks Edit
To create a new Habit, Daily, To-Do, or Reward from the mobile app, click the plus icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen. This will cause a text box to pop up at the top of the screen. Type the name of your Habit, Daily Reward, or To-Do in that box, and press the "Add task" button at the end of the text box. This will add the Habit, To-Do, Daily, or Reward to your task list.
When you click on a Habit, Daily, To-Do, or Reward, you are brought to a page where you can view and check off that item's checklist (if it has one), or edit that item.
The edit icon will appear as a pencil in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Clicking it will take you to the edit screen, which contains all the same editing functions as the mobile site. You can add, delete, or edit an item's checklist, change the difficulty of the item, add or edit notes, change the due date of To-Dos, and change which days of the week you do your Dailies.
To reorder tasks, click the four-way arrow at the top of the page next to the edit icon. It will show a small white bar on the far right side of the screen next to each task, allowing you to reorder them as you see fit.
Habits Edit
Under the Habits section of the tasks menu are your Habits. You can click the + and - as you normally would on the website.
Dailies Edit
Under Dailies, you can check off your Dailies normally. Checklists can be accessed by tapping on the task, or tapping and holding the task then choosing "View/Edit". You will then be in the details section and can check off checklist items as normal.
To-Dos Edit
Under To-Dos, you will see incomplete To-Dos by default. To see completed To-Dos, click the eye with the slash through it.
Currently, due dates appear in Y M D format, followed by your difference from UTC time zone.
Rewards Edit
Under Rewards, you can see and purchase unowned equipment, and custom rewards. You can also buy a health potion.
You cannot currently use Skills.
It also displays your current levels of gems, gold, and silver.
Notes Edit
- Emoji will display as normal, however, Markdown to change sizes will make the text smaller, and code will appear as serif font.
- Tags do not work on mobile currently.
- You can view your challenge tasks, but you cannot join new challenges.
Here's where to find all your character's information. Note that the Buff symbol does not appear in the app.
You can see your avatar, change your build (slim, broad), buy/change shirts, skins, and hair. Your avatar might not show the latest equipment (refer to the "Equipment" section below).
Here you can also see your avatar, and buy or change backgrounds.
Under this tab, you can see your health, gold, level, and experience. You can also see your attributes (STR, INT, CON, PER), the number of pets you have found, and your achievements.
Here is where all your eggs, potions, quest scrolls, and food/saddles will be.
Under this tab you can buy food, eggs, potions, and special items such as the Fortify Potion and the Orb of Rebirth. All items cost gems.
Here is where you can pick both your battle gear and costumes.
When new equipment is released on the Habitica website, it won't appear in the app for up to several weeks because Google and Apple have slow approval times. However if you wear the new equipment on the website as Battle Gear, you will still benefit from the stats for it on the app, even when you can't see it.
Here are all of your pets. If you click on one, you can add it to your avatar or feed it, if you do not already own the corresponding mount.
Here you can see your mounts and select one to add to your avatar.
Under this tab you read and write the Tavern chat messages. You can't see people's contributor tiers or their profiles.
Here you see your party's name and description and the group ID. You can also see the party's quest, including its description, progress, participants, and rewards. You cannot accept or reject quest invitations on the mobile app. Click on the chat arrow to read and write party chat messages.
Here you can see and chat in the guilds you are a member of, and also join public guilds (this is sometimes buggy). You can't join challenges in app, or view the challenges page.
Purchase GemsEdit
Under this tab you can buy 20 gems for $5. Note that you cannot buy a subscription through the app.
Under this menu you can copy you User ID (for GItHub and the Data Display Tool) and API token (which is like a password and must not be shared with other people). The URL of the website is also shown. You can check into the Inn, which protects you from undone Dailies (used for when you go on vacation or get sick) but does not protect you from party damage.
This gives information about this app and webpage, how you can help, how to report a bug, and what version the app is in.
The Android app requires the "Identity - find accounts on the device" permission so that push notifications can be sent (e.g., to advise you when your party's quest has started).
Push NotificationsEdit
The Android app sends notifications when:
- you have been given a subscription
- you have been given gems
- you have won a challenge
- you have been invited to a party
- you have been invited to a guild
- you have been invited to a quest
- a quest that you accepted has started
If you do not want to receive these notifications, use the stock Android method of preventing the HabitRPG app from sending notifications. There is currently no in-app way to turn off some or all notifications.
In the event of a Habitica website outage, use of the Mobile app may result in an error. This may manifest as an app dialog filled with HTML code. If this occurs, any tasks a player may have marked as completed may not register as complete on the website itself. Players are advised to double check their task progress on the website itself to prevent personal tracking errors.

By Shawn Sebastian
When Shameer and Shafeeq, two young photographers from the southern state of Kerala, embarked on a 25,000 km long journey on their Royal Enfield, the riders were uncertain about what would lie ahead.
They carried with them the well wishes of their family and friends who whole heartedly supported their dream to cover the length and breadth of India's vast geographical expanse.
Their journey that began from Cochin on July 28th 2013, went along the south-western coastal line, touching Goa, Mumbai and further up till the much contested northern region of Kargil in Jammu and Kashmir. The circuit was completed when the journey continued to Bihar, the North-eastern states, and further down to South India, along the eastern coast.
Considering the limited resources, and their lack of language skills, they knew that the ride would be a bumpy one from the beginning.
Nevertheless, their modestly majestic 1990 model Enfield, painted in silver and black, which they referred to as a 'friend', took them, not only to the sprawling metros but to the remote hinterlands as well, touching the country's 28 states.
Riding, not only held for them a personal affection, but was also a means of speaking to people and spreading a message. As nature lovers, the recent natural calamities such as the landslide in Uttarakhand, deeply disturbed them. "We wanted to spread the message among the people about the need to preserve nature," says Shameer.
'Tree Belt- Preserve Nature-All India Bullet Ride' reads a board behind their bullet. "Throughout our journey, people noticed what is written and asked us more about it. We think it helped in communicating our message," he adds.
Realising the need to know the basics of two wheeler maintenance, Shameer, before starting the journey, spent 6 months training at a local workshop under a person, whom he refers to as 'master'. "Since we had to travel to unknown, remote rural localities, it was necessary for us to know how to take proper care of our 'friend'," says Shameer.
From the heavily guarded snow-capped mountains in Kargil to the flooded villages in Nagaland, the places they travelled were visually diverse from one another.
They ditched the technology of GPRS and Google maps and relied on the tourist map of India.
"Since we had to stop and ask people for directions, it helped us interact with a lot of people, which wouldn't have been the case had we used mobile devices for navigation," observes Shameer.
While some amused villagers frowned upon the purpose behind their journey, some youngsters they met on the way drew inspiration for a similar ride. "An army fellow in Manipur traded his shooting skills in return for a couple of camera techniques," whispers Shafeeq with a slight grin.
The riders were welcomed on most occasions. "A truck driver in the isolated Leh-Ladakh national highway offered a bottle of water when our cans dried up, and an ageing housewife in Mizoram gave us a lifeline by donating a few liters of petrol," says Shameer remembering the many faces that offered a helping hand.
Both consider the visuals and people they saw and met on the way as a precious education that can't be learned in school. "All of us need a journey like this at least once in our lifetime," Shameer avers.
Considering their constant involvement in humanitarian works like blood donations back in their home town, financial support for this journey came from all quarters.
The two are a week's travel away from Cochin, where their journey will reach its closure, and where a group of people will anxiously be waiting to receive the biker duo who expressed the will to travel an untrodden path.

STATEMENT Alexandra do Carmo
My project intends to question the function of artistic practice in relation to social contexts focusing on two main avenues of investigation:
First, the studio's capability as an instrument to observe society; with the studio seen as simultaneously a mobile yet grounded entity. The physical space being of temporary use while information gained through social encounters is transformed for re-presentation. In this way, traditional, specialized tools of art practice (drawing for example) can synthesize the artist engagement with the social sphere, activating ways of seeing and thinking within that group not possible through other means.
Secondly, the relation between the politics of collective memory and the aesthetic object. If uncovered within the construction of a work of art, the representation of social memory can be an agent for the infiltration of new memories and possibilities into situations of past or present conflict. Passed through images, sounds, smells, events, once observed, scrutinized and digested through our edition and fabrication, memory becomes a social agent, actively participating in opening new avenues for democracy.
