MozNGW: Mozilla-Based Client for Novell GroupWise
Monday April 5th, 2004
Sohail Mirza writes: "Sitepoint.com has an article pointing people to MozNGW, a Mozilla-based GroupWise client by RedbackSystems." GroupWise is Novell's corporate communication and collaboration tool. The native Windows client is, in the words of RedbackSystems, "the fat kid that fell out of the ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down." MozNGW, which was originally going to be based on Opera, is intended to rectify this. As well as MozNGW, RedbackSystems also has several other products, most of which will eventually be rolled into their XULU cross-platform application framework.

I had intended to ignore the above blog entry, but as you have posted here I will respond.
1. Had the original poster bothered to read the project page rather than just rant, he/she would have noted the project's name is XULU not XULUX. 2. Your own link points to the pronunciation, XULUX is "Zool Looks", ours is pronounced "Zulu" - after the African warrior tribe. 3. I personally "googled" extensively on "XULU", and there is no software project - open source or otherwise with that name. Why would I google for a name called "XULUX" when I had no intention of calling the project that? 4. The 'TM' does indeed mean we claim ownership on a project implementing a cross platform XML interface based on Mozilla's XUL technology called "XULU" and pronounced as above. If the Mozilla XUL spec become formalised by the W3C then you may assume the claim continues. 5. In the same way Linus Torvalds claims TM on Linux on behalf of the Linux community, Redback make a similar assertion on behalf of the XULU Project. 6. The 'TM' on the project logo means it is a unique piece of intellectual effort, and therefore has the right to be protected. BTW and ® are different entities. 7. I have no idea what you mean when you say "XULU clearly beats MozNGW but it won't win any awards anytime soon". MozNGW is a snap-in to XULU. 8. I wish your project the best of luck, may the best technology win.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly. This a project for and on behalf of the Mozilla Community, neither we nor this project, are or indeed will be associated with the so called "Open XUL Alliance". As such, the only people who may request a name change is this community itself, and therefore I am not inclined to acquiesce to your request.

Restaurant: The Orient Chinese Restaurant
Location: Bethpage, NY
Total Rating: 4.3
Food: 5, Price: 4, Service: 4, Ambience: 2, Accessibility: 3
Summary: This Chinese restaurant is located in Bethpage on Long Island, NY and is known for its owner's great service to loyal customers and quality of food. Serving classic Hunan style Chinese food, the Orient remains popular for both dining and take away meus. Although no reservations are accepted, you can call ahead to announce how many in your party are arriving – but expect a line waiting out the door upon arrival.
We went for a special dinner with Keith's family and were seated in the side room where it is less noisy. The friendly service makes up for the lack of ambience. Our server, Angel, was very attentive and the owner, Tom, stopped by to announce his seafood specials of the night. All of the food we had tasted fresh and we shared everything with delight. I enjoyed having a little taste of everything. The soup was very good as a starter on the rainy night we went. The Orient is a favorite of Keith's family and I hope to come back again in the future.
What I ate:
Hot and Sour Soup
Dim Sum
Fried Scallops (appetizer)
Sesame Chicken
Chicken and Broccoli

No magic formula - just "rest & time". You'll have to be a spectator for a few days, rather than a performer. Not all bad.
Hope you're better soon.
This is the first time in forever that I've had a chance to sit and read blogs, so I've done some catching up. :)
No help on the voice. I was hoping you were getting better.
Enjoy your Monday off. See ya bright and early Tuesday. *sigh*
Hope you feel better. LOTS of rest!

In all of yesterday's awesomeness--I forgot to mention that it was a little challenging. There were delicious goodies all over the place all day every party we went to! The donuts at breakfast were the hardest to pass up, but I did it.
And because our schedule was all skeewompus (thank you, Mom!), it was a challenge to fit in my run, yoga, and even when to take all of my crazy supplements.
And then there was the issue of getting to bed at 10. If I'm being completely honest, I must confess that I was about 10 minutes late. It would have been much more if HH hadn't sweetly insisted that I hurry off to bed while he get the kids ready for bed (we were out a little late!) and took care of all of that stuff. He's been so super supportive with all of this!
Someone else, however, is the opposite of so super supportive. Of course, being in bed didn't mean I would actually fall asleep for quite some time--thanks to the crazy overzealous firework fiends living around here! They've been shooting off fireworks for the last 10 days, and probably will keep going for a few more. My next door neighbors started before 11 AM yesterday and kept going for over 12 hours! With super loud ones!
So, it took me quite some time to finally drift off to peaceful slumber. And then shortly thereafter, I was awoken by the sound of Sweet P screaming bloody murder. HH tried to calm her, but she was a little bit crazy. I tried to help. It took quite sometime and all of us were a little upset by the time we got her back in bed. So, it took me some time to calm down and begin to drift off again.
Repeat Sweet P's madness.
Start to drift off.
Repeat Sweet P's madness.
It was a fun fun FUN night.
One thing became quite clear to me in the middle of all the fun--I am definitely on the right track here in making myself happy and well again. Otherwise, I'm convinced there wouldn't be so much opposition. When I said I was a warrior, I had no idea what I was about to get into!
But I decided to get up and bike at 6 this morning anyway. And that was excellent. As was the yoga. Sweet P was a little ornery and teary all day thanks to the lack of sleep, but we all survived the day.
And poor Baby B had a hard time falling asleep tonight. So, I went in to comfort him. He quickly quieted down and snuggled into my neck, with his chubby little hand resting on my arm. As much as he loves to be held, he rarely snuggles with me any more. So, this was pure bliss.
As I stood there and rocked him, he settled down more and more until I could feel his body completely relaxed in my arms. Anyone who's ever held a baby like this before knows what an awesomely awesome Joyful Moment that is. To have someone so completely relaxed and at peace in your arms--to be completely trusted like that--it's just a great feeling.
I hope I can relax that deeply when I get to go to sleep tonight!
Wishing you all Joyful Moments and a good night's rest!

So define natural born citizen.
You keep bringing this up but what does it mean exactly?
Oh, I know.
He must be born on the continent only, and absolutely nowhere else in the world right? And must be white.
Well, you are very wrong.
In 2011, a Congressional Research Service Report Stated:
The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term "natural born" citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship "by birth" or "at birth," either by being born "in" the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at birth." Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an "alien" required to go through the legal process of "naturalization" to become a U.S. citizen.
^ "Qualifications for President and the 'Natural Born' Citizenship Eligibility Requirement". Congressional Research Service report. Federation of American Scientists. November 14, 2011. p. 2. Retrieved February 25, 2012.
Here's the full PDF:
But I'm sure you'll just ignore it in favor of your belief and won't change your mind.
The term "natural born" citizen is not defined in the Constitution, and there is no discussion of the term evident in the notes of the Federal Convention of 1787. The use of the phrase in the Constitution may have derived from a suggestion in a letter from John Jay to George Washington during the Convention expressing concern about having the office of Commander-in-Chief "devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen," as there were fears at that time about wealthy European aristocracy or royalty coming to America, gaining citizenship, and then buying and scheming their way to the presidency without long-standing loyalty to the nation. At the time of independence, and at the time of the framing of the Constitution, the term "natural born" with respect to citizenship was in use for many years in the American colonies, and then in the states, from British common law and legal usage. Under the common law principle of jus soli (law of the soil), persons born on English soil, even of two alien parents, were "natural born" subjects and, as noted by the Supreme Court, this "same rule" was applicable in the American colonies and "in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the Constitution ..." with respect to citizens. In textual constitutional analysis, it is understood that terms used but not defined in the document must, as explained by the Supreme Court, "be read in light of British common law" since the Constitution is "framed in the language of the English common law."
Eh, why should I bother. The birthers will just ignore any fact in support of Obama not being a Kenyan.

TextObama underwent the same vetting process as every other candidate. Why is this process suddenly not good enough for him but it's fine for every other President? Also, Arpaio, his posse, and any other person in the world have no right to access Obama's personal records.

Portuairk Archaeology
We drove over early to Portuairk, passing Lochan na Crannaig in which the ridge of Beinn na h-Imeilte was perfectly mirrored.
here - this suggests that one explanation for these buildings is that they may have been houses built by the settlers when they were first allocated crofts in Portuairk, before they built houses on their new land.
3 comments:
I thought I once read somewhere that the first people moved to Portuairk lived in caves while they built their houses. I don't know if it's true or maybe I'm getting confused and the cave story was about somewhere else. Are there any caves near Portuairk?ReplyDelete
Portuairk's a beautiful place though it must be a relief when the sun reappears above the hills in the Spring. When you walk down the path from Sanna on a sunny summer's day it almost looks Mediterranean.
Hi Michael. This is a very interesting comment as there are other structures on Jim's croft which I think are shieling huts. These were, as you probably know, usually built some way from a clachan and used by the women when they took their animals away from the arable areas in summer. The ones on Jim's croft are built into a steep bank and would, when covered with turfs, have looked very like caves. Perhaps, instead of being shieling huts, they were the first 'homes' the people built in Portuairk when they were forcibly moved there is 1843. They are certainly very well built, better constructions than most shieling huts. Jim has pictures of them - when we survey them I'll ask if they can go onto the blog. JonReplyDelete
Maybe the little round walled structure is a planticrub they were used to raise plants and were tiny walled gardens I guess maybe they were roofed in snow or frost and open the rest fo the timeReplyDelete

A coastal hotel in Northern Ireland, Ballycastle's Marine Hotel, which had been closed for several years, has announced a £1m expansion, as there is a wave of development of the infrastructure of North Ireland.
The Marine Hotel was abandoned for more than three years after developer Mervyn McAlister lost control of his assets. But his friends and catering experts Colum McLornan and Claire Hunter bought it over four years ago – in the process, reviving the town's only hotel.
Now the management of Marine Hotel has announced a £1m spend on the venue, which will include adding 12 new bedrooms to its tally of 31, as well as an events suite, sushi bar and hot tub. The changes are expected to add another 10 posts to the hotel's workforce of 46.
And Marine Hotel also revealed they have appointed the architects Ado Belfast who worked on the trendy Bullitt Hotel in Belfast, to carry out the total procedures.
Since then the revamp has been a great source of employment for local people and also a venue for family social occasions, sporting events and conferences, where previously local people had to drive to Coleraine or Ballymena to find a venue to meet their needs.
Ado Architects director John Busteed said that the potential for the Marine was clear in its strength, and as soon as they arrived at the hotel, it was a case of one thing after another almost bowling us over with excitement.

Where to start on what is wrong here? Prices, styles, sizes, stores... sigh.
Let me step back a minute. First, for my new client at work we are supposed to be wearing business formal. This is a big change from work in the US, which for me was always business casual. I had it down pat. Where to shop, my sizes in each store, what styles and colors were popular each season and year. I liked how I looked and dressed. On the weekends it was easy too. I knew what to wear to look cute and casual or to dress up for a fun night out. The only constraint was budget.
Now for the last two weekends I have tried to go shopping for a new business suit or two to supplement my five year old interview suits. I also wanted a couple of things to wear out to dinner or bars on the weekend that are a little more in style here. So that brings me to point number one.
The style here. Some of it is nice. Some of it looks kind of outrageous or downright silly to me. Some people don't have any style at all. Regardless, it all looks different to me than what I am used to. The clothes that look the most like what I am used to apparently look silly or cheap to the people here. My style compass is spinning in circles and I feel like I am completely lost in what to wear. I saw these two girls last weekend that actually scared me. They looked armed and ready for battle and not the type to take any prisoners. The first feelings of panic started to set in. How am I going to find anything to wear here if I don't want to look like a cross between Cat Woman and the Gimp?
The sizes. Being a Saggittarian, the lack of familiar alone wasn't going to hold me back. In fact, I often thrive on the new. So, time to just start trying stuff on. Maybe once I tried a few things on, it would be the start of a whole new fashion era for me. Sure, why not? I reached for suit that looked like it might be alright and quickly stopped. What size did I need? 32, 42, UK 10, S, M, L? I had no idea. My first guesses were way too big. I finally got it down to the right EU size but what was this? The pants were about 15 inches too long! A quick look around the store and I could see why. The women were super skinny and super tall. No wonder everything was so long. On top of that, all the sleeves on the jackets were coming down down to my fingers, a much more difficult alteration to make. All the women around me looked like Barbie and I was starting to feel like Skipper.
The prices. Today we went to some different stores than we tried last weekend. We went into Max Mara and I found some suits I really liked. The material, the cut, the sizes all were working out. The pants needed some hemming but that is normal for me even in the States. Finally! Cue up the party music. A new suit for me!! I took a look at the price tag and scrrrrraaaaaaaaaatch!!! The music stopped. 600 Euro!!
I walked out and we made a half hearted attempt to go to a few more stores. The more I looked the more frustrated I got and finally I called time of death on today's shopping ventures and headed for home empty handed again.

Tell me about it. I think the biggest shock for me is the styling of the nice shoes. They're so flat and boxy. And some of them curl up at the tips which makes me think of "I Dream of Jeannie." But since I travel for work quite a bit, I usually try to save up my clothes shopping and just buy a whole bunch whenever I go back to the states.
But apparently, my coworkers from Geneva tell me that it's even worse over there in terms of prices. So you could be in a worse situation.
- christina said...
Yes, shopping for clothes can be a nightmare here and I don't even need any dressy clothes. I rarely find pants that fit me properly and always have to hem them. And you find so few classic, timeless styles here. You'd probably need to look into the K "kurz" sizes. If a size 40 fits you but is too long in the legs or sleeves, you can try a K20, if you take a 42, try a K21 - they just cut the size in half a stick a K on it.
Germans do a LOT of catalogue shopping - Quelle, Otto, Neckermann etc and also Land's End and Eddie Bauer in the past few years and it's there that I usually find stuff that I like at reasonable prices.
- Expat Traveler said...
I can sympasize with you on this one. My feet are way too big for European standards and so I can only buy via catalog or in California of all places. It makes it hard to find shoes when needed!
You really just have to find deals when you can or switch your state of mind to buy one or two pieces that are interchangable. Many people buy suits that you can change and mix and match.
I'm lucky I found a few great pants which I could wear but it was more business casual - H&M can do that, but I'm sure you've seen it all already.
Some good cities to shop might be in Zurich or Bern or Mulhouse and shopping online. I wish I could help you more here. Most I could say is it always happens when you don't need clothes that you find something!
Good luck! Walk into Manor in Basel that might be a good place to start.
- Mr. Fabulous said...
Of all the differences between the US and Europe, I never considered the clothes.
I guess I just assumed everyone wore what we did.
Arrogant American :)
- rebecca said...
Tell me about it..... I got used to Dutch clothes and had found the stores that had stuff I liked (I could be in and out in a few minutes flat for the basics) and even knew where to find "special occasion" stuff. Now, I have a big formal thingy and have to find clothes for that in a country I just moved to, where there's H&M and haute couture and not much in between.... I feel your frustration. Do I ever.
- lobstah said...
This reminds me of the stories Amy was telling us about shopping for clothes in Italy. She is probably a size 8 or 10 American. As soon as she stepped into one store, the snobby salesladies looked her up and down and said, "We don't carry your size!" Ouch.
- megan said...
I'll rip the bandaid off quickly: this will not change. The style you'll get a feel for, but the prices of the stuff that fits your 'american' frame will remain higher than a freshman at a frat party.
Try Ludwig Beck* at Marienplatz. It can be cheaper than Max Mara. Give yourself a lot of time and get a saleswoman to help you. Flex a little on your sense of style but don't compromise to the point of feeling so strange you won't wear it. Take breaks, there are bars throughout the store. I recommend prosecco every hour.
This will take time...and some money, try to enjoy it.
(*you can also try Loden-Frey)
- Expat Traveler said...
I forgot to mention, maybe you'd have luck at Loeb or Globus.
- Michelle said...
Wow this one hit a nerve!! Thanks for all the good advice. I'll give the suggested stores and sizes a try and see how that goes. I'm glad I'm not the only one having 'fun' with this ;-)

Additional Information:
Skin care products are mostly impulse driven purchases. You go to the store, see a few products, and pick the one you like. It is perhaps not the best way to care. Caring for the skin requires a little more thoughtful approach. Consumer opinion about different products should be the deciding factor to choose the right product. Reviews of Hydroxatone have made a lot of women rethink about what are they buying and why are they buying it. It has made them look at results that are possible with Hydroxatone and compare them with the results of the creams they are currently using.
Most women thought that once they start spotting fine lines and wrinkles, there is no way to diminish them. Given the efforts of medical scientists, it is possible to make it difficult for anyone to spot these lines with naked eyes. Hydroxatone skin care products have made many women realize that wrinkles can be reduced.
Defy your age with younger looking skin
Wrinkles and fine lines are gifts of aging skin. Some might receive it a little late in life, while others some might receive it early. Whatever the case is, their appearance is sure. Even though there is no way to avoid wrinkles, there are ways to hide them, reduce them, and delay them. All you need to do is defy the aging lines with the right cream. Hydroxatone is the best anti-aging lotion that visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles. In a clinical study, nearly 90 percent of its users said that with continued usage, the reduction in fine lines was quite noticeable and their skin looked much younger. Going by the reviews of Hydroxatone, the cream also improves the skin tone and radiance. Another option is to conceal these lines using foundations and concealers, but using an anti-wrinkle cream gives long lasting results.
Knowing user opinion will help you choose
If you are not sure about the best product for your skin type, go through user reviews. User opinions will help you decide if the results delivered are the ones that you are looking for, or not. Reviews of Hydroxatone will answer a lot of questions running through your mind. If you want solutions for some specific skin problems, such as wrinkles, fine lines, or under eyes patches, they have a huge range of products looking at each of the problems specifically. Hydroxatone AM PM cream is an extremely popular solution that has helped many women fight not just wrinkles, but all signs of aging.

The Chinese emphasize a lot on auspicious things. What I mean is it is really important to eat auspicious food (normally food with auspicious sounding names), wear auspicious clothing (red or bright colours) especially on important days such as the Chinese New Year, or pick auspicious dates for certain events such as wedding. Even naming a new born child, the parents would pick auspicious words with significant meanings, or even go as far as consulting a fortune-teller to calculate the elements and signs to advise what name best suits the child and would bring good fortune and luck.
The Chinese word for walnut is 核桃 (he tao - 'he' pronounced like 'her' without the 'r'). The word '核 he' has similar pronunciation to the words 和 'togetherness' and 贺 'celebration'. Since it was the one year anniversary for the cafe I work at, I thought walnut cookies would be an auspicious gift for my boss, congratulating them on their feat and wishing them good luck for the future. And because everyone that works there is like a family, I also wish that this family will stay together through thick and thin and work together towards making the cafe better.
[Walnut Cookies 核桃酥]
40g lightly toasted walnuts, finely chopped
250g all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
120g shortening or butter
90g finely ground raw sugar
1/2 tsp salt
30g egg (half a beaten egg)
1. Sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
2. Beat together shortening, sugar and salt until pale, light and fluffy.
3. Add the egg and mix until well combined.
4. Add in the flour mixture and mix gently until just combined.
5. Add in the toasted chopped walnuts and mix until combine, forming a dough.
6. Cover with cling film and let sit for approximately 20 minutes.
7. Divide into little portions and gently roll into smooth balls. Flatten slightly, pressing down in the middle of the dough with your thumb.
8. Place on pre-lined baking tray and bake in preheated to 170C oven for approximately 20 minutes or until golden.

Captains, the reward system on Prizes has been updated!

Captains, the reward system on Prizes has been updated. Let us take a closer look at the essentials to crack that nut once and for all.
IMPORTANT: The following applies only to new Prizes, i.e. the ones you have not engaged yet.
1. Why did we decide to update the system?
We have always received a lot of complains that Prizes "don't work" or "work badly" or that "the rewards have changed". Some players feel that the way rewards are issued is unfair when they see other players' screenshots of big rewards. One of the major problems is that some sailors can lose their entire armies before they get a decent reward. This is especially true for new players that do not have enough expertise with Prizes or more experienced players that engage higher level Prizes where the intervals between good rewards are significantly longer compared to that on lower level ones. We have made a decision to adjust the reward algorithm so nobody finds themselves in such stressful situations.
2. What will happen to my current progress?
Nothing. Again, your current progress will not be affected in any way. None of your efforts were futile.
3. Why do I get smaller rewards when suffering big losses?
From now on, you will be receiving a reward each and every time you win. It is time to say "Goodbye" to Prizes not yielding any rewards! Brethren Court Engineers are convinced that every victory must be rewarded! Smaller rewards do NOT mean that your Units were lost for nothing: any victory may reveal that there was a huge army held captive at the Prize you have just conquered!
While under the old system you would be left empty-handed, now you will receive a guaranteed smaller reward (we mean Units!). Additionally, if you win on 10 Prizes, the cumulative reward will be slightly bigger than before.
4. How will smaller, more frequent rewards affect the regular reward algorithm?
You will need to win at slightly more Prizes, Captains!
5. Will there still be big rewards? Really big rewards?
Absolutely! Every victory at a Prize is a chance to win a huge reward! The chance of getting it is now slightly lower, but the overall number of rewards remained the same. In other words, you will be receiving the same reward, but it will be split into more parts than before.
We would like to assure our players that we are being very cautious with this update. Our main goal is to not tamper with the existing balance in any way but to make the reward system even more convenient for our players.
It is important to bear in mind that every player is at their own individual stage on the way to getting the reward, and the benefits of the new system may not be apparent right away. It might take you some time to evaluate the new system and to figure out how it works. The algorithm is new, and adjusting your strategy to it will require certain effort. One thing we know for sure: it will be worth your while!

Just now that I started to figure out how they worked? Prizes were not obligatory. People that don't like them better don't play at them. They were a good source of emotion. It has no sense to give small prizes meanwhile. :(

This change is another rip-off. I just threw away heaps on a level 56 Black Corsair and my "prize" a lousey 56 ship of the line and 11 subs. I'm better off going back to Fallout 4 and Black Ops. That only costs me the price of the game.

I understand your emotions, however, let's take a closer look at the situation:
1) If you have ever touched a Prize (even with one Unit), it won't be affected by the change.
2) You will still get big payouts which you were used to get before.
3) In addition to big payouts you will receive small mini-payouts after raiding each Prize.
4) Small payouts will help you to keep a certain number of Units in your army even if the big payout is far away.If you have any questions, please ask.

Sounds like a positive to me, personally., I know there are some who have gone through the prizes, none stop. I didn't, In fact I actually have a level 1 prize still available to me, and I'm a level 73 player. I was after the Adventures, more then the prizes, so I did only one of most levels, lower down. then as troop loss count mounted, I would need to build troops up agqain to take the next prize. Being impatient at times, I might hit a 2nd. prize of a same level, or go back and hit a few more of the lower ones. I agree with the concensus that hitting a prize with massive losses and getting no rewards for losing so many troops, leaves a a bad feeling about the game.
Edit add-on: I might mention that this change may have had a detrimental effect on my troop building. I had a fairly good amount of troops in training and now i have none, to send to the harbor! Did you change it so they go directly to the harbor now, and not to the haven? and there are none in training. and I see no credit for the quests, units built! in th equest window.
Found my troops. I also tried hitting a few prizes and it's going exactly the way they said it would. the first one got me some very nice troops (it was in the lower 40's for it's level. I did another sea fort this time (the first was a corsair) and also received troops but, od course, nor so many. from both offense and defense though. then did a level 50 something and got fewer troops then i lost but still a fairly acceptable number, comparatively speaking! I like it so far!

this is a big big ripoff the way i see it
i made 40 missions today wasted finually 1200 linienships and lost nearly 4 millions of offensive without get one bigger payout
if i have to put in 1490 linienships to gain 40 fregattes something is wrong and after 40 missions i could have expected one big payout but no
before you got back more or less what you sended in if done right now it seems to me that you have to sacrify youre fleet to get points from the lighthouse. i play this game now for nearly 1 and a half year and i really liked it and it was hard to finually figure out how to work the lighthouse but today im quiet close to quit cause i have nearly no more armada left for the korsair targets so where have my every thenth price might be a winner have been?40 prices no big payout is there any system at all left which has a look what the player put in at first?it really feels like a ripoff and if i dont get better decriptions or informations i can use im out

I still don't see the utility of the small amounts of units in exchange of more delayed big payouts.
Two days ago I sank all my troops on the Prizes. It was MY fault. I tightened so much the string. So I had 2 options: Wait to rebuild my troops or pay for some of them and hit again the prizes with the hope they give me back a considerable part of my troops and keep playing. I chose the second option and get a big payout back.
I paid a big amount of money to be back on the game and now you change the rules? Now that I have figured out how to approach the Prizes? I have now to learn how it works again? I think it is not fair. I'm disappointed.
I have now the amount of troops that had allowed me to play Prizes carefully getting back all what I have inside the Prizes' bank slowly. It is now that amount enough or I will sink everything again?
We are playing Money, it is not fair you change the rules.
I'm very disappointed.

That is a very nice update in the prizes.
I was stuck with my 15-20 Million bank value for about a month and than i got the payout which took my bank into negative value and i had to build lot of troops (with lots of wait) and feed my bank to regain bank value.
I lost my offense, my defense and dropped down to 200 units though i am level 76.
But this system will help to avoid that 200 unit thing. I hit 20 prizes since the release and i got units in every prize. Used them to kill the next.
Started the day with 11M bank value and now it is well over 13M with +600 units in my troop count.

I had a level 87 who has been playing the game since 2014 quit because he is not happy with the new prize system. He really loved playing the prizes, but says he has had enough. I have also had another BH contact me about holding a boycott of in game purchases to protest the new changes to the prizes. So I venture to say the early reviews of the new system have not been positive.

I do not read the Forum very often…. And again I am reminded why that is... and will continue.
I may spend some money to buy some rubies, because I can't wait to try this routine. And to reward Plarium (and thank) Plarium.

I have been off prizes to build for higher level needs
if the system works I should be able to finish them all..
that is today.. the way I play prizes.. nothing should change..
if you understand prizes and they have not changed the final payout then it may take several days to get to that big payoff we were used to getting 3 times a day.
either you have enough troops to turn them all over or you don't.
if you don't, get to work and build more troops for free..
. I have seen some famous Prize Players quit cause they never learned the game from ground up.. all someone has to do is build and keep going
No amount of money spent makes you understand game better.. if you do not have patience you are doomed..
And prizes should never be the only reason you play.
Update 0:44 UTC now
OK..... ran some prizes..I did 2, 8, 9, 10, 14, 14, 15, 17, 18, 48, 49, 50, 52, paid little bits and 55 paid me a lot more than I lost.
So this seems to work so far.. i do not know if it is equitable yet... so i found a payout point about where i should have anyway..
I can't say it does not work.. - I'll keep goin' and we will see what happens. I was wrong about days till a big payout..
I agree with the guy below so many do not understand prizes.. but i was doing all the prizes before from 1 on up.. funny thing is you it real hard to do prizes wrong the way it is set up.. either you have enough troops or you don't..
hey i thought prizes maxed out at 115 now? is that guy below me saying he is at level 130 prize??

this system is awfull, why do i want to smash my boats in exchange for tiny little ammounts.... with little ammounts comes the need to do smaller and smaller prize levels with smaller and smaller payouts.. and when finishing already yellow barred levels, it does NOT always give a prtize payout.
now I am up to lev 130 so I know what I am on about... why do you guys (game makers) always have to fix something that is not broken... please put it back like it was... the people that moan about it are the ones that have not read/asked how to do them properly or what kind of units to use ect..
now it seems that those like me that have bothered to read and learn how to do the prizes are now being penalised by those who have not and are still like the man above about to start on a lev 1 prize when his gaming level is in the 70'S !!!!!
it is a ridiculous concept.... PLEASE PUT IT BACK.

as a smaller player (level 53) the prize changes suck.
In the space of one day pretty much ive lost the bulk of my navy. Lose 100 subs, you get 100 bombadiers in return, lose 100 man o war, you get 8 skirmishers :D
For those who relied on the prizes for fleet and armada its a lousy change.

Your banking is still there,
just it won't calculate your old bank with the new hits on prizes but it's still there as before
any new prizes you have attack after the recent update will show the newest %
it just couldn't had the old, please don't get discourage over this update, give it a chance,
I understand your emotions, however, let's take a closer look at the situation:
FROM THE CM recently
1) If you have ever touched a Prize (even with one Unit), it won't be affected by the change.
2) You will still get big payouts which you were used to get before.
3) In addition to big payouts you will receive small mini-payouts after raiding each Prize.
4) Small payouts will help you to keep a certain number of Units in your army even if the big payout is far away.
If you have any questions, please ask.

I understand your frustration, and i do understand this game can get very annoying really fast when updates are added
But this update wasn't changed in how we banked, the banking is all the same, and if your friend did not get paid what they where suppose to
then it's still calculated in the banking you will still get paid eventually as you did before, i believe this was added for the smaller players, so they always got something, many of the smallers ones don't play the banking system like the old sea pirates, so this was added to help them,

baby movement...kinda freakin me out
so our son is moving around a lot lately. lots of kicks and squirms. i was excited for this time to come but now that it's here....i am not sure i am loving in. this little guy is always really low when he kicks me and it always shocks me. sometimes it literally takes my breath away, but in a weird way! you know when your heart skips beats and it feels super weird and uncomfortable? that's how this feesl to me. it's not painful, just so odd and....and i don't know. there are no words. it freaks me out!! of course it is always good to know that the baby is moving cause that means that everything is good, right? but still, i am not sure i am going to really love all the moving around. is that bad? i feel slightly guilty feeling this way. maybe once i am used to it it won't bother me. let's hope.

Wait till he finds your ribs and you can't sleep all night cuz he's getting his excercise.ReplyDelete
It is a strange feeling, but I'm sure you'll get used to it, and then you'll be done with it cuz all you want to do is get a little sleep.
Very excited for you nonetheless!
i'm already not getting sleep. hahaReplyDelete

The Cambridge, Mass.-based New England Healthcare Institute (NEHI) recently released an issue brief, "From Evidence to Practice: Making CER Findings Work for Providers and Patients," which detailed the hurdles and policy choices facing leaders in comparative effectiveness research, in their efforts to widely disseminate comparative effectiveness research (CER) findings. Given the provisions in the federal healthcare reform legislation, called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), passed by Congress and signed by President Obama in March, that will establish the creation of a federal Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to identify research priorities and conduct research comparing the clinical effectiveness of medical treatments, NEHI's issue brief certainly provides a timely look at the challenges ahead in this dynamic area.
HCI Editor-in-Chief Mark Hagland spoke recently with Tom Hubbard, senior program director at NEHI, on the healthcare reform context of comparative effectiveness research, as well as on the major industry-wide challenges to CER results dissemination related to the state of healthcare IT evolution.
Healthcare Informatics: Can you explain the mechanism for comparative effectiveness research that was established on the federal level via the federal healthcare reform legislation passed into law in March?
Tom Hubbard: Stepping back a few steps, comparative research is certainly nothing new; doctors have been comparing research results for as long as there have been doctors. But there's no question that the field of comparative effectiveness research has been growing in the last few years. And in the couple of years leading up to the passage of the healthcare reform legislation, despite the fight that broke out, a number of folks on Capitol Hill realized that it would be a good thing to expend funding on CER. The most contentious issue that came up was doing comparisons based on cost-effectiveness. You can do research on clinical effectiveness purely from the patient outcomes standpoint; or you can mix clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. And cost-effectiveness clearly was the most contentious thing. And I think members of Congress had decided to downplay the cost-effectiveness issue even before the healthcare reform debate broke out over this. And clearly, the cost-effectiveness issue became the most contentious, with images of shoving Granny off the ventilator and such.
But many European countries have been applying that mixed model to healthcare decision-making for a long time. And this debate got off to an early start, because the federal stimulus goal provided the incoming Obama administration with the opportunity to fund CER. So $1.1 billion was appropriated both to commission new research, but also to provide money for CER infrastructure, meaning the research networks and tool-building to support CER, and quite a bit of that involved information technology. The research infrastructure includes building the health IT networks to do the data mining to start doing more rapid and real-time research on what's effective. And that's the kind of thing that some major hospitals are doing already, diving into their patient data and determining what works best for their patients.

Happy Memorial Day
We've been spending this weekend at Grandma's house and loving every minute. Here are some highlights...
The girls helped Grandma place flowers on the graves of ancestors, including Grandpa's.
David and the boys attempted to go fishing, but ended up playing in the snow, instead.
We also saw the movie, Tomorrowland. We give it two thumbs up!
I loved this whole weekend, but my favorite part was decorating the graves, which we haven't done for years. The girls enjoyed it, too.
Happy Memorial Day.

Let's just put it out here....geology is one of the last things I ever wanted to study in college. For a time Shelby was planning to grow up to be a geologist --so I tried. We bought The Rock Picker's Guide to Lake Superior, and we'd attempt to identify the rocks---but I also brought some hammers and safety glasses for Daniel..and then we'd end up trying to find geodes and really just smashing up all the rocks we could. Or we'd pull out the glue and paint and take away sculptures...I'm sad to say, we were high impact amateur geologists. But let me tell you, we sure could chug.
This summer, Geologist Mark Jirsa brought University students to travel to Bingshick and study the rock formations ---apparently it is a geologist's dream out there. He chose that lake because he said there were rocks from 3 major time periods in history--and he was looking for some specific junction, revealed by the fires of years past. I was politely curious. But that guy has a passion for this stuff, and it's fairly contagious. He identified some sort of junction this year on Bingshick--something that proved a theory that he's had for 10 years--about rocks from different time periods (and maybe this photo illustrates that, and maybe it doesn't---)... but now he has proof. Pretty soon, I was enthused right there with him--in part because it's fun to see someone so zealous about his work, and in part because he kindled my interest---in rocks.
So, when he was giving a presentation last week--on the nearby Gunflint Narrows Road, we all arranged to go.
In May of 2007, the Ham Lake Fire foiled Mark's geology field trip to Seagull Lake. The closest he was allowed to go that week was the Narrows Road. So he started exploring--and made an important discovery---evidence of a meteorite that hit the earth in Sudbury Canada. The event sent the earth into a nuclear winter---1.85 billion years ago.
We saw some braccia formations; layers rock that was broken and stirred up as a result of the shock waves. It seems there are several local fire places made of that stuff. These braccia formations were made from rock already here, but we also looked at ejecta---the lappilli formations made from rock ejected upon impact (apparently not part of the monster meteorite--which vaporized from all that energy)
The pea shaped lappilli were formed because the tremendous energy and material ejected into clouds---like hail stones are created during a thunderstorm.... "stone hail" was formed during that event, and some of them rained over the Gunflint Lake area. (Stefan came up with the term stone-hail--and we thought that was clever)
At any rate---it appears to be a significant geological discovery right here, and I've got to credit Mark for making that snippet in time, almost 2 billion years ago, come alive for me. And I'll also admit, my hike yesterday was enriched by the curiosity about the rock formations I noticed. Hoping he'll be back again, and if you have the chance to hear him, you might want to take it-even if you think you might not be interested!

Price realised
RUSKIN, John (1819-1900). Seven autograph letters signed, including five to an unidentified correspondent ('Dear Sir'), Amiens, Brantwood, and n.p., 26 October [1848] and n.d.; one to Miss Corkran, Herne Hill, 31 March, n.y.; and one to Philip Massey, Brantwood, 22 August 1883, together 13 pages, 8vo.
Ruskin gives his uncompromising opinion of restoration, and supports the Pre-Raphaelites: 'If I had entire authority in such matters I should have no difficulty, my code being a perfectly simple one. Never restore sculpture. Not an atom. Not so much as a dogtooth, broken from a row of a thousand ... Preserve your building by any unsightly process, props, buttress of mere block, beam across arch. Anything to keep it together'. 'Turner is the greatest landscape painter in the world and the Pre-Raphaelites the only good figure painters in the world'. Writing from Amiens, he admonishes his correspondent that 'Nothing can be begun on borrowed money' and advises him to buy a handpress and print the good news from other papers, 'The News of Good', once a month. Another blunt piece of his mind goes to Miss Corkran, 'I had rather a daughter of mine was a country scullery maid than a London hack artist', but with a kinder postscript; and the letter to Massey offers to accept his Turner drawing not for himself but for the Sheffield Museum.

What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a serious life-long health condition that occurs when the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood is too high because the body can't use it properly. If left untreated, high blood glucose levels can cause serious health complications.
There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. They're different conditions, caused by different things, but they are both serious and need to be treated and managed properly.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a very important role in our bodies. After we eat, we begin to digest carbohydrates, breaking them down into glucose.
The insulin released by the pancreas moves glucose into our cells, where it is used as fuel for energy. It may help to understand that insulin is often described as a key, which open the doors to the cells, allowing glucose to enter.
Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition where the body attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells, meaning no insulin is produced. This causes glucose to quickly rise in the blood.
Nobody knows exactly why this happens, but science tells us it's got nothing to do with diet or lifestyle.
About 10 per cent of people with diabetes have Type 1.
Type 2 diabetes
In Type 2 diabetes, the body doesn't make enough insulin, or the insulin it makes doesn't work properly, meaning glucose builds up in the blood.
Type 2 diabetes is caused by a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Up to 58 per cent of Type 2 diabetes cases can be delayed or prevented through a healthy lifestyle.
About 90 per cent of people with diabetes have Type 2.
How does diabetes effect your feet?
- Reduction in sensation to the feet
- Poor circulation
- Increased risk of infection
- Poor healing
- Ulcerations (non healing wound )
- Amputation risk
Diabetes can cause damage to your blood vessels in particular the micro (small) blood vessels that supply the skin and to the nerves that are associated with sensation. Poor sensation and circulation to the feet can have a serious impact on an individual's foot health causing ulcerations to occur. Ulcerations of the foot are a serious matter causing a potential for serious infection and tissue death all leading to the possible amputation of the effected area. If you notice any signs of foot ulceration, blistering, redness, heat or inflammation, you must see a Podiatrist or Urgent care immediately.
A few key facts from our podiatry team to help you manage your feet and prevent the affects of diabetes on your feet:
- Maintain a good control of your diabetic blood glucose levels (sugar levels)
- Check your feet daily
- Apply an emollient such as CCS cream on your feet daily, but not between the toes.
- Wear sensible supportive shoes
- Cut your nails straight across
- Have your feet assessed every year with your Podiatrist or Diabetic nurse.
How can South West Podiatry help?
The Podiatrist's at South West Podiatry are specialized in managing the diabetic foot, providing thorough diabetic foot checks using specialized equipment to monitor your foot health. At each clinical site there is a force plate that can scan your foot to determine where the at risk areas are for the development of ulcers. With this information the highly trained Podiatrist can produce a bespoke orthotic which will offload the high risk areas and prevent ulcers forming.
The Podiatrists will also manage any acute symptoms and provide a thorough up to date clinical management plan for the diabetic foot.

It's so good to sit down in front of my computer for a minute! I just finished delivering my boxes of art to a friend for a craft show this weekend. I had NO idea how much time it was going to take me to get ready! That said, it is the first craft show that I'll have Megaluno Studio work at! I'm so excited to see the results!
In the time that I've not spent getting ready for the show, I've gotten the house all Christmas-ed up! I love all the soft lights and angels!
We're hitting the road for California for a few days tomorrow. Unfortunately, it won't be just for recreation, but I think we'll manage to squeeze in some fun time anyways! Besides, I can't wait for the 23C! We've had some really cold days, so I'm ready for the sun!
Until next week...

Yikes...don't drop him! Okay, so the pictures in this post have nothing to do with what I'm writing about...but posts with pictures are always better!!
So "Fireworks Season" is upon us.
It can also be referred to as "single parent season."
So far so good!
My biggest challenge this year is getting the grass mowed.
I know that must sound silly but we have almost 3 acres that we need to keep mowed and it is terribly hard to do with a baby in the house. And I'm just not the kind of girl who can just "let it go." So Christian has officially become the babysitter. I get Will down for a nap and then hand Christian the monitor and tell him to listen while I mow. Then he comes out to get me when he hears crying. It's working out pretty well as long as I don't leave McKenna in the house with him. Those two...ugh...I'll leave that for another post.
At bedtime last night McKenna asked me where Daddy was.
I explained that he was still at work and she said,
"I miss his face. I never get to see his face."
Bless her heart. It was so sad.
She loves her daddy so much and I know that her daddy misses her.
I let her call daddy anytime she wants to. She loves to dial his number and can almost do it by herself. Today she called him to tell him about her pretty dress and about the scrap on her knee.
Ryan is going to be gone for an extended period of time coming up here pretty soon and
while this time is challenging for our family we are very thankful for his job and for the company he works for.
About a month ago his company went through some difficult changes that directly affected Ryan's job and it was STRESSFUL. I think there were a few nights when I barely slept! We had to make some very difficult decisions but those times of testing when you're just wishing God would speak in a audible voice are always a time of growth and it was good for us.
Make sure you buy some TNT Fireworks this season!
And keep praying that I survive until July 5th!

Video Game Demo Review #5 - Indie Games Winter Uprising #3: Ubergridder
Oh hey, it's a puzzler. Does "Ubergridder" by "Badger Punch Games" have enough content to make it a worthy $1 purchase?
Bloobity bloo after the bloobity bloo
"Ubergridder" is a game that combines different things together to make a game unlike anything I've seen before. It takes the gameplay and concept of the pen & paper game "Dots & Boxes" and put it with the moving mechanics of "Clu Clu Land" with the objective of a game like "Ultimate Qix/Volfied". I know it may seem confusing, but once you've seen all three and then play "Ubergridder", you'll see the similarities.
In "Ubergridder" you play as a maintenance robot, named Robert, and it is your job to fix your spaceship by walking all around it. Aliens though, the jerks that they are, are trying to stop you and you have a time limit as well. All you have to defend yourself is a small trap known as "Monster Chew", which pauses the aliens for a short while, if they run into it.
The music ain't half bad either, done by the folks at "Xerxes Music". They did a great job of making some great atmospheric music to the game.
"Ubergridder" takes a little bit getting used to, but once you do, it becomes a fun little game. It can be quite challenging, but sadly for the wrong reason, bad hit detection. Let me explain.
Let's say, you are on your last life you are only one line away from winning that round. But, an alien is chasing you and is closely near you. Logic dictates that if you turn, the alien will follow but you'll be able to finish the line. But nope, as you turn the alien reaches across the corner and hits you. It's an unfair advantage that the alien doesn't even have to be on the same line you are in to hit you.
There is a glimmer of hope though with this mechanic, it makes it more challenging. You are gonna have to stay away from the aliens as best you can, and that can be tough, making this one of the harder puzzlers on the 360's Downloadable Service.
It's hard to recommend "Ubergridder" due to it being a puzzler, as there are a lot of puzzle games out there, even the joe shmo type flash puzzlers can be good. This is a game that you'll have to try yourself if you like the mechanics. I like "Ubergridder" as we are most likely never gonna see a sequel to "Clu Clu Land D" and "Badger Punch" made the next best thing.

Rock singer Freddie Mercury of Queen died at age 45 of pneumonia brought on by AIDS.
Freddie Mercury (born Farrokh Bulsara (5 September 1946 – 24 November 1991) was a British musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the rock band Queen. As a performer, he was known for his flamboyant stage persona and powerful vocals over a four-octave range. As a songwriter, Mercury composed many hits for Queen, including "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Killer Queen", "Somebody to Love", "Don't Stop Me Now", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "We Are the Champions". In addition to his work with Queen, he led a solo career, and also occasionally served as a producer and guest musician (piano or vocals) for other artists. He died of bronchopneumonia brought on by AIDS on 24 November 1991, only one day after publicly acknowledging he had the disease.
Mercury was a Parsi born in Zanzibar and grew up there and in India until his mid-teens. He has been referred to as "Britain's first Asian rock star". In 2002, Mercury was placed at number 58 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons, in 2006, Time Asia named him one of the most influential Asian heroes of the past 60 years, and he continues to be voted one of the greatest singers in the history of popular music. In 2005, a poll organised by Blender and MTV2 saw Mercury voted the greatest male singer of all time. In 2008, Rolling Stone editors ranked him number 18 on their list of the 100 greatest singers of all time. In 2009, a Classic Rock poll saw him voted the greatest rock singer of all time. Allmusic has characterized Mercury as "one of rock's greatest all-time entertainers", who possessed "one of the greatest voices in all of music".
Mercury wrote 10 of the 17 songs on Queen's Greatest Hits album: "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Seven Seas of Rhye", "Killer Queen", "Somebody to Love", "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy", "We Are the Champions", "Bicycle Race", "Don't Stop Me Now", "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Play the Game".
The most notable aspect of his songwriting involved the wide range of genres that he used, which included, among other styles, rockabilly, progressive rock, heavy metal, gospel and disco. As he explained in a 1986 interview, "I hate doing the same thing again and again and again. I like to see what's happening now in music, film and theater and incorporate all of those things." Compared to many popular songwriters, Mercury also tended to write musically complex material. For example, "Bohemian Rhapsody" is acyclic in structure and comprises dozens of chords. He also wrote six songs from Queen II which deal with multiple key changes and complex material. "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", on the other hand, contains only a few chords. Despite the fact that Mercury often wrote very intricate harmonies, he also claimed that he could barely read music. He wrote most of his songs on the piano and used a wide variety of different key signatures.
Queen consisted of vocalist Freddie Mercury (d.1991), guitarist Brian May, bassist John Deacon, and drummer Roger Taylor. Their discography consists of fifteen studio albums (one of which is a soundtrack album), six live albums, twelve compilation albums, 62 singles and a number of other appearances. Founded in 1970, Queen released their self-titled debut album in 1973. Despite not being an immediate success, Queen gained popularity in Britain with their second self-titled album in 1974. Their 1975 single, "Bohemian Rhapsody", was number 1 for nine weeks (and a further five weeks in 1991) and is the third biggest selling single of all time in the UK. The band's 1981 Greatest Hits album is the biggest selling album in UK history with 5.8 million copies sold by 2012. The band's 1991 compilation Greatest Hits II is also one of the UK's top ten biggest sellers of all time, with 3.8 million copies sold by 2012.
In 1972, Queen signed a production deal with Trident Studios. Later in their career, Queen signed a record contract with EMI, and Elektra in the United States. The band would remain with EMI for the rest of their career, though, in 1983, they terminated their contract with Elektra and signed with Capitol Records. In 1990, they once again terminated their U.S. record contract and signed with Hollywood Records. In 1991, Queen's entire catalogue was remastered and released on compact disc in the United States, and thirteen albums (all studio albums up to 'The Works' as well as 'Live Killers' and 'Greatest Hits') were remastered at Abbey Road Studios and released on CD and cassette in the United Kingdom between July 1993 and March 1994. Queen's entire album back catalogue was remastered and re-released in the UK and rest of the world (excluding the US) through 2011 to commemorate their 40th anniversary (as well as being the 20th anniversary of Mercury's death). The 2011 remasters were released on Universal's Island label as the band's contract with EMI ended in 2010.
