85% of NC Energy And Mining Commission Members Flagged For Conflicts Of Interests
More than two years after the NC Energy and Mining Commission began writing new safety rules to govern fracking exploration in the state, the State Ethics Commission has flagged 12 of the 14 members as having potential conflicts of interest. These conflicts included energy stock investments, energy industry consulting work and land ownership in potentially fracking areas like Lee County. Instead of finishing these reviews at the outset of the commissions work, the Ethics Commission only completed the reviews months before the current Mining Commission will be retired. Not exactly the transparency that Governor McCrory promised.
From the News and Observer article,
More than two years into the task of writing the state's fracking standards, all but two of the members of the N.C. Mining and Energy Commission have been flagged for a potential conflict of interest.
Chairman Vikram Rao received the 14 ethics evaluations from the State Ethics Commission last month and disclosed them Friday at the Mining and Energy Commission's regular monthly meeting in Raleigh.
The potential conflicts for a dozen members of the Mining and Energy Commission – one of the state's most polarizing government boards – include energy stock investments and energy consulting work. Also included: real estate ownership in Lee County, the epicenter of the state's shale gas zone, where drilling could get underway as early as next year.
A potential conflict of interest does not disqualify a commissioner from sitting on a state board. It's an alert issued to board members and the public of business interests and political ties that could compromise a commissioner's judgment.
However, the State Ethics Commission flagged the potential problems not at the outset of the Mining and Energy Commission's work, but after the fracking board had finished its primary task of writing the state's safety rules for shale gas exploration.
The 124 fracking rules are scheduled for review by the Rules Review Commission next week, to be forwarded by Jan. 1 to the state legislature for final approval.
The lifespan of the Mining and Energy Commission has almost run its course. Under a state law passed this summer, the board is scheduled to dissolve on July 31 and will be replaced by a new Oil and Gas Commission to handle fracking permit reviews, variances, trade secrets and other requests.
When asked about the belated evaluations, which were issued Oct. 23, the State Ethics Commission's executive director, Perry Newson, said the ethics commission is working on thousands of evaluations with limited staff.

Open Streets Detroit Offers Free Street Fair Activities on October 2
Imagine: Within the bounds of an industrial, busy city, there are opportunities to walk, bike, and maneuver through residential and business districts of Detroit.
Enter Open Streets Detroit, the first ever program in the Motor City to shut down Michigan Ave and Vernor Hwy, offering healthy activities, interactive games, shopping, and much more! After a debut event on Sunday, September 25, Open Streets returns on October 2 for a final day of play.
So grab your running shoes and pump up your bicycle tires: Open Streets Detroit invites you to experience roads in a new way. On October 2 from noon – 5:00 p.m., Michigan Avenue and West Vernor Highway are set to shut down for free street fair activities, promoting community cohesion, health and wellness, and local business awareness.
Sponsored by Downtown Detroit Partnership and DTE Energy Foundation, celebrate the inaugural year of Open Streets Detroit by strolling the four-mile stretch from Campus Martius all the way to Livernois. Free activities will dot the grounds of Campus Martius, Roosevelt Park, and Clark Park, offering dance workshops, yoga, Zumba, and various street sports.
Read on for more information on Open Streets programming, along with a word from Kailey Poort, the Director of Communications and Marketing at Downtown Detroit Partnership:
Street Style
The idea of Open Streets came to Detroit through a conference, where a need for alternative transportation was desperate in 'the D.' Today, over 200 cities observe Open Streets as an opportunity to increase patronage to local businesses while raising environmental awareness through alternative transportation.
With traffic clogs and car fumes polluting the air and area of Detroit, Open Streets seeks an open-aired concept, where pedestrians and cyclists put their car in park and unite for a day of environmental awareness and physical activity.
"Being part of the downtown infrastructure and making our city more walkable and bikable, helps the community to be healthier, makes traffic less congested, and we have new types of mobility," explained Poort. "I just walked down the middle of Michigan Ave at the corner of Rosa Parks where I could just stand in the middle of the street.It's so interesting and wonderful!"
Participants will be able to interact with the local businesses and community members, creating a more cohesive city experience.
Chad Rochkind from Human Scale Studio attests to the importance of community connection through Open Streets: "Walkability and bike-ablity are crucial to the economic life of cities," said Rochkind. "Beyond that, places with great walkable and bike-able infrastructure are safer because there are more eyes on the street, and they are healthier because people are more active."
According to the website, the long-term vision of this event is to "make Open Streets Detroit a regular program that highlights a variety of streets and neighborhoods throughout Detroit."
"That's the hope," said Rochkind. "Events like this have the power to change hearts and minds, and eventually policy. Open Streets Detroit is designed to create a public lust for places that put people first."
What about the local community? Poort attests to the positive response Open Streets has received from the local businesses and neighbors.
"The hope is that Open Streets Detroit sparks a dialogue about how Detroit's streets operate going forward, said Rochkind. "Having robust and vibrant public life is crucial to the city's success."

Based on our research with blue zones centenarians, the healthiest, longest-lived people in the world, we created these simple food guidelines to help people live better. Although the blue zones longevity hotspots were in very different parts of the world, they had similar eating patterns and lifestyles.
These are the four best foods to always have on hand and the four worst foods to avoid. The Always Foods are readily available, affordable, taste good, and are versatile to include in most meals. The Avoid Foods are those highly correlated with obesity, heart disease, or cancer, as well as constant temptations in the standard American diet.
Four Best and Worst Longevity Foods
We distilled more than 150 dietary surveys of the world's longest-lived people to discover the secrets of a longevity diet.
These four best and four worst foods simplify the Blue Zones food guidelines: Favor beans, greens, root vegetables, fruit, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. People in four of the five "Blue Zones" consume meat, but they do so sparingly, using it as a celebratory food, a small side, or a way to flavor dishes.
- 100% Whole Grains: Farro, quinoa, brown rice, oatmeal, bulgur, cornmeal
- Nuts & Seeds: A handful a day
- Beans, Legumes, Pulses: A cup of cooked beans / pulses per day
- Fruits and Vegetables: 5-10 servings per day
- Sugar-Sweetened Beverages: Empty calories
- Salty Snacks (Potato chips, Cheese doodles, etc): Too much salt and preservatives
- Packaged Sweets (Candy, Packaged cookies and sweets): Empty calories, preservatives, additives
- Processed Meats (Bacon, Sausage, Cold cuts): Linked to cancer, heart disease
For Whole Grains: You can include 100% whole grain pasta and bread in this category, but the whole grains (like the ones listed above) are preferable.
For Beans: We include all pulses and legumes in this category, including chickpeas, lentils, broad beans, and green beans.
For Nuts: You can include seeds in this category, as they are also common in blue zones regions.
For Sugar-Sweetened Beverages: This includes the fancy coffee drinks so popular all over America. Try to drink unsweetened coffee or tea, or slowly reduce the amount of sugar you use. We don't include smoothies in this category if you eat them as a light meal.

We decided to have a snack that day. Just alittle something, some quite lunchtime meal.
It'd been 2weeks she hadn't answered my texts nor calls and at the looks of things, she still seemed seriously pissed off.
Gosh what can I do or say
I thought to myself as I watched her chew her sandwich and take sips of her soda.
Please say something, this silence is killing me.
I managed to spit out.
At last she looked up at me to said:
This post brings the Short and Stories month on Idealizeblog to an end.

text: In the opening chapter of his sluggish celebration of the timeless and the universal that he insists is to be found below the surface of the everyday, first-time author Kinseth suggests that his readers ". . .be drawn forward into these pages as if rafting effortlessly downstream." The advice is more easily given than acted upon; most readers are likely to have leapt overboard and started dog-paddling for shore long before journey's end. A resident of Des Moines, Iowa, Kinseth uses his explorations of a midwestern river as a frame on which to hang his musings about what used to be called "the great chain of being." Drawing from, among other sources, eastern philosophies and pantheism, the author describes his growing awareness of the oneness of all creation--from the croak of a frog to the explosion of a supernova is a short leap in Kinseth's cosmology. Properly handled, this could be an inspiring, if less-than-original, view. Unfortunately, although Kinseth describes his approach as "incantatory," many readers are likely to find it merely logorrheic. Sentences ramble on in tangles of meaningless metaphors ("A plant is a star in the earthstream"); strained analogies ("my open eyes hang like dead idols in a reliquary"); self-consciously fine writing ("And yet, to complete ourselves, we do not travel as much to distant worlds as to that which we distance from ourselves"). Frequently, Kinseth's use of personification is strained--"You put your car to sleep high on a hill," for example, and interspersed with the pseudo-Whitmanisms are such dogeared phrases as "the tip of the iceberg," "alive and kicking," and "keep our heads above water." When Kinseth writes, "I am not seeking an answer as much as I am trying. . .to remain awake," many readers will know exactly how he feels.

Reigning champions Aizawl FC will aim to return to winning ways when they host fellow north-eastern outfit Neroca FC in an I-League match at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium here on Saturday.
I-League debutants Neroca has coped well in their maiden season as they have lost only one match in their nine matches and going into the north-east derby they will be brimming with confidence as they are coming from an outright win against Indian Arrows.
The Manipur based club are placed third in the league table with 18 points from nine matches. They are just one point behind second-placed East Bengal with a game in hand and four points adrift of league leaders Minerva Punjab FC.
A win on Saturday will see them go second on the points table. Aizawl are currently fifth in the league table with 14 points from eight matches.
But Neroca coach Gift Raikhan is well aware of the threat posed by the hosts.
"First of all it's not a derby for me but more of a homecoming for me as I have nurtured many Mizo boys earlier in my career and did my B-License here in Aizawl.
"Every match is difficult and I cannot predict the result. All I can guarantee is we will give our absolute best. Aizawl FC is a very good team and it will be a tough match," Raikhan said on the eve of the match.
"It's been a hectic schedule for us and we cannot properly train in the away matches due to lack of facilities. Some fans are coming from Imphal and I hope it will be an exciting match," he added.
Neroca midfielder David Biakzara was excited to face a Mizoram club in the country's top-tier league.
"Aizawl will be tough opponents and it won't be an easy match. Being a Mizo boy I am very excited to face Aizawl FC and my friends and family will be here to support me," the Mizo midfielder said.
Aizawl FC can't afford to lose any more points at home as away fixtures are coming thick and fast.
The Mizoram-based side won't be getting the services of Afghan defender Masih Saighani but head coach Paulo Menezes said that won't prevent him from eyeing all three points on Saturday.
"We always fight for three points in every match and we will do the same tomorrow. We respect the opponents and we will need to play tough. The most important thing is to win three points," the Portuguese coach said.
Nigerian defender Kareem Omolaja Nurain has started every I-League match this season for Aizawl and his role will be crucial in the defending champion's quest to halt Neroca's unbeaten run in the absence of Saighani.
Kareem, who played for Minerva Punjab FC last season, stated that the fans are a crucial factor in the way the team plays their football.
"I am very happy to play for Aizawl FC. We are happy to see the fans supporting us and it is easier to perform well with the backing of the fans. Football is a team sport and the fans make it easier to play," he said.

Most Anticipated Books of 2018
Best of 2017 has come and gone, now here are the most anticipated books of 2018, according to major media:
Entertainment Weekly — 50 books we can't wait to read in 2018
THE HAZEL WOOD by Melissa Albert
One of the most anticipated debuts of the year — having set off an auction frenzy — THE HAZEL WOOD is a contemporary fantasy of an aggressively literary bent, centered on a 17-year-old whose mother is stolen away.
LOOK ALIVE OUT THERE by Sloane Crosley
Crosley may have put essays aside for her 2015 novel THE CLASP, but she returns with her particular brand of sardonic wit in this new collection. The tone, she told EW, is "somewhere between jaded misanthrope and easily amused child."
A HIGHER LOYALTY: Truth, Lies and Leadership by James Comey
What will James Comey reveal in this anticipated memoir? Publisher Flatiron Books isn't giving much away, just saying that the former FBI director promises to give a vital lesson on sound leadership, drawing on his own experiences to provide a manual that certain world leaders desperately need.
USA Today — 10 big books to kick off 2018
THE WIFE BETWEEN US by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
What it's about: In this twisty psychological thriller, a woman dumped by her rich husband is determined to prevent his remarriage to her "replacement."
Why it's hot: Steven Spielberg's Amblin Partners, which brought THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN to the big screen, has picked up film rights for THE WIFE BETWEEN US.
A HIGHER LOYALTY: Truth, Lies and Leadership by James Comey
What it's about: The former FBI director, famously fired by President Trump in May, writes a book about leadership based on his own experiences and observations in government.
Why it's hot: According to the publisher, Comey's book will examine what "good, ethical leadership looks like and how it drives sound decisions." The burning question: What will he say about Trump?
The Washington Post — Leadership Books to Read in 2018
A HIGHER LOYALTY: Truth, Lies and Leadership by James Comey
The former FBI director — fired by President Trump and now, some say, a Zen-like master of throwing subtle shade on Twitter and Instagram — inked what was reported to be a multi-million dollar book deal in August. The book's publisher has said the book by Comey, also a former Justice Department official and lawyer, promises to give readers "unprecedented entry into the corridors of power, and a remarkable lesson in leadership itself." Comey, who frequently uses social media to share quotations about character, justice, leadership and power, tweeted an image of the Statue of Liberty on Dec. 5, saying he was in New York to meet with his publisher, with the note: "Hope leadership book will be useful. Reassuring to see Lady Liberty standing tall even in rough weather."
InStyle — Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2018
THE GREAT ALONE by Kristin Hannah
A Vietnam POW returns from overseas and opts to relocate his family to a remote area of Alaska, far removed from the threats of war-torn societies, for a fresh start. All seems well until his PTSD kicks in during the harsh winter and turns their tiny cabin dream into a living nightmare.
LOOK ALIVE OUT THERE by Sloane Crosley
If accolades from Steve Martin and David Sedaris are any indication, Sloane Crosley's new collection of essays delivers, with hilarious takes on fertility, mingling with swingers, and her blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo on Gossip Girl.

OLIVER LOVING by Stefan Merrill Block
Oliver Loving has been paralyzed and locked in his own mind for nearly a decade, the result of a shooting in his small Texas town. In Stefan Merrill Block's psychologically astute novel, the damaged people that surround Oliver try to piece together their own versions of what happened that night and since then, even as doctors prepare a new treatment that might help Oliver communicate again.
THE HAZEL WOOD by Melissa Albert
Here is one of those rare young adult fantasy novels that holds a self-contained world in only a few hundred pages. So much world-building, so little space. If the novel's heroine is a teenage girl, then her story will appeal to readers of all ages, with its intrigue and strange fairy tale magic and very grown up writing.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? by Marilynne Robinson
Even in her fiction, Marilynne Robinson has a nonjudgmental, earnest way of writing about religion that could make an atheist long for spirituality. President Obama is a fan. In this essay collection theology and current events and philosophy take center stage, and it's through the clarity of Robinson's words that hope in times of political strife feels appropriate and urgent.
SOME HELL by Patrick Nathan
A heartbreaker of a book, Patrick Nathan's debut novel captures the hell of adolescence under particularly dire circumstances: Colin is reeling from his father's suicide even as he navigates coming of age as a gay teenager. As they are wont to do, sex and death dominate Colin's thoughts as he makes his way, in agony but with an eye towards a hopeful future.
THE MERRY SPINSTER: Tales of Everyday Horror by Mallory Ortberg

THREE DAUGHTERS OF EVE by Elif Shafak
From the most widely read female writer in Turkey, here's a novel that sees violence and nostalgia vie for one woman's attention on one intense night. In Istanbul, a relatively minor crime—an attempted robbery—sparks a wave of memories as the wealthy Peri ponders an old photograph of her college friends. As terrorist attacks break out, the religious and cultural differences between the three women demand her attention in the fraught present.
WHEN THEY CALL YOU A TERRORIST: A Black Lives Matter Memoir by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Asha Bandele
Patrisse Khan-Cullors co-founded one of the most vital activist groups of recent years. Now, get to the heart of Black Lives Matter with her account of how the movement began, and marvel at the brilliance and persistence of her mission despite a continuing lack of understanding and compassion from many.
PEACH by Emma Glass
In the wake of a horrific sexual assault, titular protagonist Peach attempts to navigate a life that has tilted on its axis. As accounts of sexual assault and misconduct have arisen in recent months, our inability to reckon with such events and their aftermath has only become more clear. This short novel—under 100 pages—confronts the enormity with impressionistic grace.
FORCE OF NATURE by Jane Harper
Wow, this crime novel just gave me my newest nightmare: Five colleagues go on a hike (first mistake), and one doesn't return. Four different stories makes it hard for Agent Aaron Falk (whom we met in Harper's debut, THE DRY) to discern the truth. Don't read this one during the workweek.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? by Marilynne Robinson
Equipped with a heart and mind that seem more capacious than ours (though she might have a match in fan Barack Obama), Marilynne Robinson has made a career out of writing life-expanding novels and wonderings, like Pulitzer Prize–winning novel GILEAD. Soon, she'll give us a new set of essays about faith, life, and culture. readmoreremove

ADMISSIONS: Life as a Brain Surgeon by Henry Marsh
"Like DO NO HARM, Marsh's previous memoir, ADMISSIONS is 'wandering and ruminative, an overland trek through the doctor's anxieties and private shames,' our critic Jennifer Senior writes. Marsh once again recounts his miscalculations and surgical catastrophes; rails against the constraints of an increasingly depersonalized British health care system; and describes his operating theater in all of its Grand Guignol splendor." — New York Times Book Review (10 New Books We Recommend This Week, 10/12/17)

KISSIMMEE, Fla. – The Penn State Brandywine softball team closed out its Spring Break trip to Florida with a pair of losses on Wednesday morning after being downed by RPI 8-1 and dropping a 9-0 decision to Carthage in five innings.
Game One: RPI 8, Penn State Brandywine 1
RPI built a 4-0 lead through three innings before Brandywine struck for its lone run in the fourth inning. Alexandra Szpindor (Pottstown, Pa./Pope John Paul II) singled with one out, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and came home from second on Alyssa Sullivan's (Pennsburg, Pa./Upper Perkiomen) base hit to left field.
Brandywine looked to add to its run total in the sixth, loading the bases with two outs, but a fly out ended the Lions' threat.
Szpindor went 2-for-3 at the plate, while Sullivan, Nikki Velez (Gloucester, N.J./Gloucester City) and Arden Rabiger (Yardley, Pa./Pennsbury) also tallied hits for the Lions.
Cara Fabiano (Bristol, Pa./Bristol) went the first four innings in the circle, allowing five runs and striking out two, while Rebecca Proctor (Cinnaminson, N.J./Cinnaminson) fanned one during the final two frames.
Game Two: Carthage 9, Penn State Brandywine 0
Brandywine's offense was muted by a pair of Carthage pitchers in game two as the Lions mustered just two hits. Rachel Cherubini (Pottstown, Pa./Pottsgrove) recorded a base hit in the first inning and Arianna Segich (Ocean City, N.J./Ocean City) posted a bunt single in the third.
Carthage plated four runs during the first three innings against Szpindor and tacked on a single run in the fourth and three more in the fifth to win the game by run rule.
Brandywine returns to action on March 16 at Swarthmore beginning at noon.

President gets to keep his Blackberry
Obama views the connection to the outside world as vital, seeing it as a tool to help him "stay in touch with the flow of everyday life," he said on NBC's "Today" show recently.
Initially, it seemed, the president was going to give up the device once he took office because of security and legal issues. The Presidential Records Act puts correspondence, including e-mails, in the official record and available for public review. Presidential e-mails also can be subpoenaed.
We will continue to post items of importance to the American People.

So you want to install Arch Linux?
Arch Linux is a great operating system. It's rolling release, so your software is always up to date and secure. It has a great package manger, a great community and it comes installed with the bare minimum – a plus when you want to configure your system exactly the way you want, without having anything extra on top.
Arch Linux isn't for everyone, there are quite a few things you should consider before jumping in. You will need to have a basic understanding of Linux command line as Arch Linux does not do a lot of hand holding. If you aren't familiar with using commands in a console, definitely read up and learn a bit before continuing.
Installing and running Arch Linux requires a regular connection to the internet and regular maintenance. You will need to pay attention to updates, read change logs, and merge new configuration files. (really you should do this with all Linux distributions, but Arch is particularly unforgiving of lazy admins.) If you don't have this sort of time or don't have a regular internet connection, Arch Linux may not be the right choice. Neglecting maintenance and not updating properly can cause your system to crash and make running Arch Linux an unenjoyable experience.
Let's do this!
If you are still set on installing Arch Linux at this point, then its time to get started.
I would highly recommend reading through the beginner's guide completely before installing Arch Linux. You should also look up your hardware's Linux compatibility, and if you need special drivers, have them on a thumb drive so you can easily install them when you need to.
Here is an overview of the installation process:
- Make installation media
- Boot install media
- Establish a network connection - ussually works out of box with ethernet
- Partition your harddrive if it isn't already partitioned
- Format the partitions you are installing to
- Mount the partitions
- Choose mirrors for pacman in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
- Install the base system with pacstrap
- Generate an /etc/fstab file
At this point Arch Linux is installed, but you will want to do some initial configuration through chroot before booting in the new system. Specifically the following:
- Install and configure a bootloader
- Install fonts
- Set locale, keymap, timezone, system time, hostname and root password
At this point you can boot into your new install, setup audio, configure graphics, and install a desktop environment/window manager of your choice. The options are limitless and you can really make it your own.
Keeping your system stable
As I mentioned before, if you aren't careful with updates and maintenance, there is the possibility that your Arch Linux install will break. Arch Linux isn't unstable, but you do need to administer it properly.
Our website and services are run off Digital Ocean droplets (virtual private servers) with Arch Linux. We have great uptime and system stability. If you follow the following tips, you can achieve the same results.
Update every week and read the news
I personally do updates every Friday afternoon. Updating usually takes about 15 minutes at the most. First make sure to read the news at https://www.archlinux.org/news/. Pay special attention to items labeled "manual intervention required". This means you need to take some sort of action to prevent breakage and update properly.
After you check the news, run
pacman -Syu and pay attention to what is being updated as well as any messages printed to the screen. Follow up with any instructions if there are any.
If any critical packages are updated, such as the kernel or X server, read the change log for that package. It could give you information on exciting new features or potential issues to watch out for. It may help to subscribe to the news lists for software you want to keep an eye on.
The final step is to merge .pac files. (this means .pacnew and .pacsave files) These files are created when packages are updated and the configuration files for those packages have been changed. Use find to get a list of .pac files in your system:
find /etc -regextype posix-extended -regex ".+\.pac(new|save|orig)" 2> /dev/null
Then you need to compare the .pac file to the original configuration file, and make changes appropriately. Don't just delete your old configuration files and replace them with new ones, or delete all .pac files without looking at them. This can potentially cause problems and instability.
Once you are done merging .pac files, your update is complete. If the Linux kernel or any hardware drivers were updated, you may want to reboot.
Don't install untrusted or beta software packages
You'd think this would be obvious, but it needs to be said. Installing beta software, AUR (arch user repository) packages, software off git and compiling things from random websites can make your computer buggy and unstable.
If you really want to try something out, sandbox it and don't install on your main system.
You may be surprised at my mention of AUR packages, but keep in mind that these packages can be uploaded by anyone. You have to be very prudent when using them and realize that if an AUR package breaks your Arch Linux system, this isn't an Arch Linux problem and is not officially supported. The AUR is a wonderful resource, but it can also cause problems for new users and the less prudent.
Install Days
Arch Women hosts Arch install days every few months. We answer questions and chat with new users in our IRC channel
#archlinux-women on

The Drottningholm Palace (Swedish: Drottningholms slott) – History + videos
NordenBladet – The Drottningholm Palace (Swedish: Drottningholms slott) is the private residence of the Swedish royal family. It is located in Drottningholm (178 02 Drottningholm, Sweden). Built on the island Lovön (in Ekerö Municipality of Stockholm County), it is one of Sweden's Royal Palaces. It was originally built in the late 16th century. It served as a regular summer residence of the Swedish royal court for most of the 18th century. Apart from being the private residence of the Swedish royal family, the palace is a popular tourist attraction.
The name Drottningholm (literally meaning "Queen's islet") came from the original renaissance building designed by Willem Boy, a stone palace built by John III of Sweden in 1580 for his queen, Catherine Jagellon. This palace was preceded by a royal mansion called Torvesund.
The Queen Dowager Regent Hedwig Eleonora bought the castle in 1661, a year after her role as Queen of Sweden ended, but it burnt to the ground on 30 December that same year. Hedwig Eleonora engaged the architect Nicodemus Tessin the Elder to design and rebuild the castle. In 1662, work began on the reconstruction of the building. With the castle almost complete, Nicodemus died in 1681. His son Nicodemus Tessin the Younger continued his work and completed the elaborate interior designs.
During the period of the reconstruction, Hedwig Eleonora was head of the regency for the still-underage King, Charles XI of Sweden, from 1660 to 1672. Sweden had grown to be a powerful country after the Peace of Westphalia. The position of the queen, essentially the ruler of Sweden, demanded an impressive residence located conveniently close to Stockholm.
During the reign of the kings Charles XI of Sweden and Charles XII of Sweden, the royal court was often present at the palace, which was used for hunting. Hedwig Eleonora used the palace as a summer residence until her death in 1715, also when she had become the undisputed host of the royal court during the absence of Charles XII in Great Northern War (1700–1721).
18th century
Drottningholm continued to serve regularly as a summer residence for the royal court during the entire 18th-century. After the death of Hedwig Eleonora in 1715, Queen Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden and King Frederick I of Sweden held court at the palace in the summer.
In 1744, the palace was given as a gift from King Frederick I to the then Crown Princess, later Queen of Sweden, Louisa Ulrika of Prussia when she married Adolf Frederick of Sweden, who became King of Sweden in 1751. During Louisa Ulrika's ownership of Drottningholm the interior of the palace was transformed in a more sophisticated French rococo style. Louisa Ulrika was also responsible for having the Drottningholm Palace Theatre rebuilt in a grand style after the more modest original building burnt down in 1762. Louisa Ulrika and Adolf Fredrick continued to reside at the palace during their reign (1751–1771). In 1777, Louisa Ulrika sold Drottningholm to the Swedish state.
While it was owned by the Swedish state, the palace was used by King Gustav III of Sweden, son of Louisa Ulrika, as a summer residence, and a grand ceremonial court life was performed at the palace, which is considered to have been a great age for the palace, during which it was known for the elaborate masquerades and grand theatrical festivities and tournaments performed in the gardens. During the reign of Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden (reign 1792–1809) and Charles XIII of Sweden (reign 1809–1818) the palace was gradually used more sporadically. In 1797, it was the place of the great festivities when the King's bride, Frederica of Baden, was received there upon her arrival in Sweden, during which the last so called carousel, or tournament, was staged in the palace garden. After the Coup of 1809, the deposed Gustav IV Adolf was kept here under guard in the Chinese Drawing Room for eleven days.
19th century
During the reign of Charles XIV John of Sweden (reign 1818–1844), the palace was abandoned. The King regarded it as a symbol of the old dynasty, and Drottningholm was left to decay. The buildings were damaged by the forces of nature, and their inventories were either taken away or auctioned off.
It was apparently opened to the public for the first time during this period: a tour was mentioned in 1819, and the public used the park for picnics. Occasionally, the grounds were used for public events: in 1823, the bride of the crown prince, Josephine of Leuchtenberg, was received upon her arrival to Sweden, and her name day continued to be celebrated here. Foreign guests were received in the palace gardens, such as Tsar Nicholas I of Russia.
Oscar I of Sweden took an interest in the palace, and though he preferred Tullgarn Palace as summer residence, he took care to preserve the palace by doing the first repairs in 1846. He further more used it for public celebrations, such as a reception for Pan-Scandinavian students in 1856, and in 1858, the future Gustav V of Sweden was born in the palace. Charles XV of Sweden preferred Ulriksdal Palace as his summer residence and ignored Drottningholm, but Oscar II of Sweden continued the repairs.
Both Oscar I and Oscar II were criticized for modernizing the palace and adjusting it to contemporary fashion rather than restoring it to its original state, and it was not until the reign of Gustav V that the palace and surroundings were reconstructed to their 18th-century appearance. In 1907, a major four-year restoration of the palace was begun to restore it to its former state, after which the royal court began to use it regularly again.
Royal residence
The current Swedish royal family have used Drottningholm as their primary residence since 1981. Since then, the Palace has also been guarded by the Swedish Military in the same fashion as Stockholm Palace.
The palace
The palace and its grounds have seen many renovations, changes and additions over the past 400 years. The largest renovation, in which electricity, heating, sewage, water lines were either installed or updated and the castle roof replaced, took place between 1907 and 1913. During a 20-year-period beginning around 1977, several major areas of the palace were restored and rebuilt. The library and national hall received much of the attention and fire protection was installed throughout the palace. In 1997, work began to clean and rebuild the exterior walls. This was completed in 2002.

Fun Fact: It rained all. day. long. All day! I surprising was not worried about it. We had practiced inside, in case the weather was bad, so I knew it would all be okay if we had to do the ceremony inside the carriage house. However... right as dinner was ending, the rain stopped. It was so funny (and extremely heart warming!) to see all the guests go outside and start drying off the seats so we could have the ceremony outside. By far, one of my favorite things from the wedding day. Not only did a bunch of folks show up to see us get married, but they helped wherever help was needed! We are so blessed to know such kind people. <3
^^ look at that stud! ;)
^^ Milo was just NOT having it.
^^ We did communion, just the two of us, during the ceremony. Blake's grandpa led us, and holy waterworks. Ugly cries, snotty nose, all that.

I admit Im not good at asking questions, that would be what I will call an inheritance, but to say that an archer in the back is a sniper instead of a hunter, would mean they fire when they get an absolute shot. this is just a title for a fight. Another example of gift (which in my opinion was a bad word to use), would be if the warrior was a tank instead of a paladin, then the warrior would take the offensive position and take the aggro from the enemies as the main target.
these would just be titles that the player chooses before the battle, incase the player has to go into AI because of something happening.
It was just an Idea, I read alot of the requests here about players not responding if there could be a kick and I thought this would allow you to be creative with parties so that they can initiate their ideas into the battle field with a title for Ai, without having to be kicked out. I see this as a disadvantage to have gathered loot with out actually playing.

I like this, what if I wanted to play with a specific person and my schedule is one that takes extra care and focus, like a security guard at the mall. and I cant play all the time, then I would need this to request a time to play. its not often that I get invited or get sent a message, but I had a good game going and would like to party with them again, I dont have them as friends yet so even having a players met log maybe cool too.
I would love an option for a "Real time" mode. Something you can put in the LFG menu that indicates that you want to sit there and play.19 votes
if there was a small icon like the o in this sentence, that when pressed enabled your character to go into a basic AI so you could leave the pc to feed yourself or feed your kids or feed the dog, or even patch a hole in your roof, that would be nice not leaving your teams to bleed to death if you have to get rid of the mormons parked outside your house knocking on a door even though the house looks empty for a 10 minutes to tell you that a robber . . you get the picture, I need to go CLICK the ai turns on CLICK Now im back your dreadful minions mwa ha ha
16 votes
leader +2 instead of +1? to vote. . the way im putting it is like may as well say if the leader votes he may as well have leader +5, but then again if leader votes A and the the other three vote B then that is A + 2 and B + 3 so that could be good. .
3 votes
This is a good Idea as well, also set a time if you need to leave game for something, that time out for your character guarantees your not booted and could set an ai for the team. say to go to the restroom or even step out side to talk to the mormons, you never know after all. so setting that option aside for online and offline functions in the game would really be helpful

On the fire tiles, to . . lets say injure an enemy near a flame, maybe adding the fuel to burst the flame to spread the nearby tiles, maybe not all but a few random ones. . to interact with the shadows of the trees and just the environments itself is within itself a very fun idea

this could be helpful.

Wait, like in Diablo 2? so that if your surrounded or killed instantly then you get a message saying that you fell due to this creature doing this attack, okay I may have added "this attack", but I would also like to know what had happened to me and my party each.

I favor this one myself, although I do go on an adding spree, I do always think about being kicked, and in that case I know to leave them be, but without knowing if they didnt want the friend add to bother them would seem cruel.

This is a fun game, I could see myself playing all kinds of variations of this game with my friends on our phones. The past the present the future, The possibilities are truly endless.

That could turn the game into something like diablo or wow thought, when the players like us need the individual game play instead of party that is what we rely on. but to make it relied on a party makes people interact, As far as booting players as I've read a few other ideas made, or even voting to skip a players turn, I think that if you play alone then the options of purchasable "bots" to fill the shoes of possible companions to be available, that way you still get the loot for you, and you can custom bots in the process as temp (and I mean bots or ai ally being only available, even through purchase through the game, for so many battles before having to repurchase) characters that will be deleted. but if you have 2 or 8 vanguards a few trades could be made I guess, but that may be leading in the direction of players trying to create a Demi God then playing in parties. . so back to your first one, I agree that there should be something done about that when you leave parties

I feel as though having the same result is a good thing through out most of the story line, because its still what you do that makes the point, having a few random if you choose this you go this path and if you choose this you go down this path may spice things up, but maybe for every single option in the game there should be a form of something changed later because of what you just did. so the whole story line wont need to change just the selection of what is said maybe.

This is a very good idea

I'm not sure if this would be helpful for everyone. but I see what you mean, what the time zones could be universal and incorporated in the game more openly so that there is a kind of reference to allies or those in your guild even. I dont mind having friends from around the world, but knowing their time zones from specific spots like where I'm from (Hawaii) may help with others understand why I'm up so darn early.
2 votes
I agree, and in another idea, there was the question of if there should be a skip. This is a good idea, and if you could add a vote system then a timer for the player who is taking to long to respond, then that player may have a minute after a minute to respond, other wise take action to skip or boot.
please add a class that uses greatswords/swords! or allow us to fully customize the initial classes :)5 votesunder review · AdminDerek (Manager, 10x10 Room) responded
The Heavy Blade skill is likely to be featured in one of the next archetypes we introduce, though that will likely need to wait for an expansion or second campaign.
two handed swords, like a claymore, or a two handed hammer , or two handed axe. that could give different tactics in a game if each had their own skills and abilities.

that might get in the way unless its a fade in when mouse comes into play or fade out when it leaves. . . but what if there was abbreviations to archetype then race and gender. or even better some emblems to represent the archetypes, race and gender individually. . i dont know its late and I'm rambling.

add a vote and a timer for the one being voted out of the turn. is that a good idea?

If you own an air conditioning system, you know how important it is to you and your family during the hot summer months. Having a cool and comfortable place to come home to can make a big difference in your family's health. Unfortunately, many people do not give the right amount attention to their systems. Because they fail to maintain them, repairs end up needing to be carried out. In some instances, failure to maintain your system can result in costly replacements. Through this information, you will know exactly how to care for your Portland HVAC system, so it will continue to work for you for many years to come.
- One of the most important maintenance chores you can do for your system, is to change the filters and keep them clean. A filter is crucial for allowing air circulation in your system. It also cleans the air coming into the unit, before it is blown out into your home. Unfortunately, many home-owners fail to keep a check on their filters and end up running their systems with dirty filters. When this happens, your system cannot properly function and will eventually begin to break down and overheat. This can cause major damage to your system and can be avoided by simply changing the filters.
- Storms and high winds can cause debris to blow on top of your outer unit's grill. When this happens, the debris could be sucked down into your system and cause damage to your fan blades or other parts. It is important for you to check your system for leaves, limbs and other debris after a storm, so you can ensure your system is not being damaged. When your system is not being used during winter months, you may want to consider investing in a protective cover.
- It is also important to keep the weeds and grass trimmed around your outside unit. When weeds and grass grow up around your unit, they can cause it to have difficulty in air flow. This can lead to your system choking up and overheating, causing major malfunction. Check your unit once a week and make sure to keep it as clean as possible.
By following these tips, you can avoid problems with your Portland HVAC system.Through their services, your HVAC system can continue providing you with good service.

How to Repair Cracked Hot Tubs
No matter how careful you and your guests are, it's always possible that an accident or moment's lack of care can lead to damage in a hot tub. When this happens, cracks can develop. This does not have to render the hot tub unusable, as it is relatively simple to repair cracked hot tubs in a few hours. Knowing how to repair cracked hot tubs yourself lets you patch a small crack without the expense of calling out a professional and it often is a lot quicker.
Drain all the water from the hot tub and allow it to dry thoroughly overnight.Drill a hole at one end of the crack, then drill another hole at the other end to prevent the crack from getting longer. Cut the fiberglass into six strips of varying lengths with a fiberglass power trimmer, starting small and getting increasingly long until the final strip overlaps the crack by a few inches on each end.
Prepare the epoxy resin according to the instructions provided. Apply a small amount of the resin to the crack, using the paintbrush. Apply the smallest fiberglass strip to the crack. Coat the strip in resin. Apply the next strip to the crack, overlapping with the first strip. Apply the strips over each other and paste each one with epoxy resin.
Coat the final strip with a final layer of resin. Wait for the resin to set firmly according to the instructions.
Sand the repair down to provide a smooth surface. Coat the repair with a layer of marine-grade plastic filler. Wait half an hour for the filler to dry. Sand the repair down to provide a smooth surface. Paint with gel coat and a paintbrush. Sand down again.
Things You Will Need
- Drill
- Fiberglass power trimmer
- Fiberglass strips
- Epoxy resin
- Paintbrush
- Marine-grade plastic filler
- Marine-grade gel coat
- Sandpaper
- It is best to use a plastic filler and gel coat that closely match the color of your hot tub. This way the repair won't stand out.
- Always thoroughly drain your hot tub before attempting repairs, especially repairs involving the use of electrical equipment such as drills. Putting devices powered by main electricity in contact with water can result in serious injury or even death, and getting battery-powered devices wet can damage or ruin them.

Apple's stalling attempts in their battle to put Samsung out of business is falling on deaf ears in a British high court. According to reports, senior judges have expressed amazement after technology giant Apple suggested it would need two weeks to post a notice on its website.
One judge suggested that Apple chief executive Tim Cook ought to make a statement setting out the "technical difficulty" facing the American firm.
Judges were sitting in the Court of Appeal in London hearing details of a dispute between Apple and rival Samsung.
Apple had been instructed by judges to publish a statement acknowledging that it had lost an earlier legal fight with Samsung. The two firms returned to court after Samsung complained that the notice Apple posted did not comply with the court order and should be altered.
Apple said the notice did comply. But judges agreed with Samsung and said Apple should post another statement.
A lawyer representing Apple said the firm could take a notice off its website in 24 hours but asked judges for 14 days to post a replacement.
Lord Justice Longmore told Michael Beloff QC: "We are just amazed that you cannot put the right notice up at the same time as you take the other one down."
And Sir Robin Jacob added: "I would like to see the head of Apple make an affidavit about why that is such a technical difficulty for the Apple company." He told Mr Beloff: "I don't believe the instructions you have been given. This is Apple that cannot put something on their own website?"
Judges said Apple should post the notice within 48 hours. They were hearing the latest stage of a legal dispute centred on computer technology produced by Apple and Samsung. Apple had complained that the Samsung Galaxy Tab was too similar to its iPad.
But a judge at the High Court in London ruled in July that the Samsung Galaxy Tab was not "cool" enough to be confused with Apple's iPad. In October, Apple failed to overturn that ruling in the Court of Appeal.

When somebody decides they need to take one for the home team and call in for a personal day, one of the most popular ways to enjoy it is with a day at the spa. And perhaps the biggest allure to doing that is enjoying a massage. But besides the masseuse's talent, why are these so relaxing?
One answer rests in the comfort and support products used to help put you at ease. The real goal of massage cushions and supports is to concoct a suspended experience where the only stimulation you're aware of is the pressure and release of your muscles and joints being worked and relaxed.
The most important piece of equipment is the table where the massage takes place, and the most important part of that table is its comfort layer, which needs to provide support that holds the body in alignment, while also offering softness that allows the recipient to comfortably rest there for an extended period of time. High-end tables are engineered to include this balance, while others can achieve a similar feel by adding comfort layers that soften harder surfaces.
Pillows are the other major factor in comfort during a massage, which has prompted the introduction of one of the most unique pillows on the market. Massage pillows are iconic, with their ring-style shape that features a center cutout to let people rest on their stomachs without having to twist and torque their necks, all while maintaining easy breathing. Without these accessories, something like massage wouldn't be nearly as relaxing and effective as it is.
Article submitted by The Foam Factory, an online source for comfort products, including table padding and the face pillow products, great for massage.

Power Tour 2016 is the biggest road trip in the world, by far. This year, thousands of participants joined us in a huge convoy from Gonzales, Louisiana, to wrap up in Kansas City, Kansas. For the final drive of the week we left from Wichita and make the 200-mile drive north and passed by corn fields, a few small oil derricks, and brick-paved main streets in the town along the way. Like always, locals lined the route to catch the long procession of classic and late-model performance cars, and some even convinced the local constables to look the other way when participants did burnouts in a water box. We selected our favorite photos from Friday's drive, you find them in the gallery below.

Copper has two key beneficial properties for improving the well-being of the skin. One is biocidal properties. Also, copper as a mineral is involved in many physiological and metabolic processes that are essential for the appropriate functioning of all the bodily tissues including the skin.
What Are Copper Peptides?
Copper peptides are microscopic copper oxide particles, which are most commonly used in topical cosmetics to improve the health and vitality of the skin.
Skin Benefits of Copper Peptides
Copper plays a vital role in the physiological processes responsible for maintaining healthy skin. Specifically speaking, copper is involved in the synthesis and stabilization of extracellular matrix skin proteins and angiogenesis.
According to clinical studies, copper peptides demonstrate anti-microbial properties by effectively curing athlete's foot and other skin infections. Other studies show copper peptides ability to improve skin elasticity, reducing fine line and wrinkles in the face. Additionally, copper peptides are known to accelerate wound healing. 1
Copper Peptides on Skin Aging
As the largest organ of the body; the skin is the most important barrier system for protecting our internal tissues from external toxins – i.e. chemical, physical, and microbial stressors. It also prevents the loss of water and other endogenous substances while acting as a detoxification organ, assisting in the elimination of any built up internal toxins.
The skin is broken up into three categories the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous layers.
• The epidermis: The outer most layer, the epidermis, contains keratinocytes that overlay the membrane, melanocytes and langerhans cells, which together act protective barrier.
• The dermis: Below the base membrane, consists of fibroblasts, nerves, hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, lymphatic and blood vessels. The dermal layer gives the skin its shape, firmness, and sensation.
• The subcutaneous: This layer consists mostly of adipose tissue, acting primarily as a heat insulator and cushion.
As the body ages, the skin naturally undergoes many changes. It eventually becomes wrinkled and losing its firmness, elasticity, tone, texture, thickness, flexibility and moisture content. Skin aging is said to be caused by a number of physiological changes. One of the primary changes is in the dermal extracellular matrix (ECM), which is made up mostly of collagen, elastin and skin fibers. Collagen and elastin are secreted by what are called fibroblasts. The production of collagen and elastin are mostly stimulated by transforming growth factor- β (TGF-β). Another factor in the changes of collagen and elastin is the absence of lysyl oxidase (LOX), which can regulate proper cross-linking of proteins.
During aging, the reduction of elastin and collagen production is a result of a decrease in dermal fibroblasts and alterations in LOX, which break down the collagen/elastin fibers. These conditions are accelerated by inflammation and oxidative stress and can be slowed down by preventing inflammation and oxidative stress.
This is where copper comes into play. Copper is one of the nine essential minerals for good health. It plays a role in various physiological normal processes in healthy skin formation. Specifically, copper stimulates dermal fibroblasts proliferation, upregulates collagen (types I, II, and V) and elastin fibers by increasing the production of fibroblasts.
Copper also serves as a cofactor of LOX, which is needed for efficient protein cross-linking. Also, copper serves as a cofactor of superoxide dismutase, one of the most potent antioxidant enzymes present in the skin. This is important for projecting the skin free radicals, thus inhibiting cellular oxidative stress that damages skin membranes.
In Conclusion
Due to the important role copper plays in the physiological processes for maintaining healthy skin, applied topical copper peptides can be an effective skin regeneration agent. The powerful antioxidant qualities, collagen production abilities, and other abilities, make copper a very attractive agent for the improvement of skin health. This science is the exact reasoning behind the use of copper compounds in The Alitura Gold Serum.
