A POPULAR mountain bike centre in Gwynedd is to double in size because of soaring visitor numbers.
Work will begin soon on a two-storey extension with a new bike shop, cycle hire, meeting rooms and cafe at Coed-y-Brenin, near Dolgellau.
The new building will be linked by a bridge to the existing centre, which is struggling to cope with ever-growing number of visitors since it opened in 2006.
Coed-y-Brenin was the UK's first purpose-built mountain bike centre and its world-wide reputation drew 145,000 visitors last year.
That number looks set to be exceeded this year following a record-breaking summer with other attractions such as the Go Ape! high ropes course, orienteering, running and walking routes as well as geocaching (treasure hunts using GPS coordinates) and audio trails broadening the venue's appeal.
Forestry Commission Wales recreation manager John Taylor said: "Coed-y-Brenin becomes more important to the local economy as each year passes and its reputation grows.
"We're delighted to gain approval for this development from the Snowdonia National Park Authority, which means Coed-y-Brenin will continue to be able to support and give confidence to local hospitality and outdoor activity businesses in the area."
It will be built using a German solid timber system which has no glue or nails.
It's hoped it could be open by Christmas 2013.

Key IS projects this year: Implementation of new core business applications - HR and Payroll system, student management system, and Sharepoint systems for records management; new gigabit core and distribution layer network switches.
Whitireia Community Polytechnic has six campus sites in four cities. Delivering quality learning outcomes and expanding the flexible learning environment for international, multi-ethnic and diverse student groups are among the polytechnic's strategic goals, says IT manager Hylton Tuckett.
ICT Services at Whitireia has experienced significant change over the past two years and the expectation is that ICT is now able to deliver solutions that make a difference.
Whilst there have been generic ICT solutions delivered, the infrastructure platform is now able to make a difference by deploying business solutions to meet expanding tertiary education needs and achieve business strategies.
A new collaborative learning space, or learning commons, is opening shortly. It encompasses a mix of fixed work stations, oval tables for group work, access to loan laptops with wireless access to the campus network, library resources, helpdesk and student learning services. Tuckett says the project illustrates how ICT enables technology environments, in this case for the non-IT academic faculty, the Faculty of Health, Education and Social Sciences.
A key business solution deployed over the past year is smart card technology for individual staff and student identity, room access control, network printing, photocopying, scanning and library resource management. This solution includes student management, print and copy management, financials, security and library server-based systems.
Another key solution to be deployed over the next two years will be the systems and processes to manage all information for compliance with the Public Records Act.

Shortly after I published my own post on the media response to Boston bombing suspects' Muslim heritage, another article about the suspects' background began to go viral. The article, written by Sarah Kendzior for Al Jazeera, focuses in on the media's treatment of the Tsarnaev brothers' Chechen heritage.
First, let's start with a little background. The two bombing suspects, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are of Chechen descent – their family comes from the Chechnya region of southern Russia, located in the Caucasus mountains. The region tried to gain independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, during the communist state's collapse. Rebel groups from the area waged a bloody battle against the Russian army in this effort, and the region remains unstable and (according to the US and Russian governments) susceptible to terrorist influences to this day.
Ultimately, the link between the suspects and their Chechen heritage seems relatively weak: while one of the suspects' social networking sites linked to websites supporting Chechen independence, both suspects grew up in the United States and had no discernible ties to Chechnya or Russia.
This brings us to Kendzior's article for Al Jazeera, which notes that the lack of connection between the Tsarnaev brothers and their Chechen heritage did not stop the media from playing up that particular angle of their story:
Despite the Tsarnaevs' American upbringing, the media has presented their lives through a Chechen lens. Political strife in the North Caucasus, ignored by the press for years, has become the default rationale for a domestic crime.
This is an important point to consider, particularly in light of the countless other media generalizations and gaffes surrounding this story. Yet Kendzior's most interesting point takes a slightly different angle:
Later that Thursday, the FBI released photos of two young men wearing baseball caps – men who so resembled all-American frat boys that people joked they would be the target of "racial bro-filing." The men were Caucasian, so the speculation turned away from foreign terror and toward the excuses routinely made for white men who kill: mental illness, anti-government grudges, frustrations at home. The men were white and Caucasian – until the next day, when they became the wrong kind of Caucasian, and suddenly they were not so "white" after all.
This is an absolutely fascinating point, and one that really exemplifies the power of geographic context in our conception of race. When the Boston bombing suspects were identified as being white, our entire perception of their crime and potential motives changed. In that moment, we moved from the baseline, Islamic fundamentalist narrative towards the type of narrative that characterized shootings by white American men in Aurora, Colorado and Newtown, Connecticut.
Yet, when the two white men who perpetuated the bombing crime were identified as being from a strife-ridden part of Eastern Europe, the narrative changed once again. The media used the suspects' Chechen heritage as a way to frame their crime, drawing on any links between the suspects and their heritage to paint a picture of men who were foreign, disconnected, and decidedly un-American. It did not matter that the suspects spent most of their lives in America or that one of them was an American citizen – it would be much easier for the press to give us the more logical narrative.
But again, underlying the production of this narrative is the innate link between our perception of race and our notion of geographic space. The Tsarnaev brothers and their narrative will inevitably be forged by both their whiteness and their presupposed connection to Chechnya.

- Slow Cooker Lasagna Recipe
Feed a crowd with this flavor-packed lasagna, which cooks to bubbling perfection in a slow cooker. If you're lucky, you'll have leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day.
- 1 Tbs. olive oil
- 2 lb. Italian sausage, casings removed
- 2 jars (each 24 oz.) tomato sauce
- 2 cups water
- 1 lb. whole-milk ricotta cheese
- 2 Tbs. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 18 ruffle-edged lasagna noodles (not no-boil noodles)
- 1 1/2 lb. mozzarella cheese, grated
- 2 oz. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, finely grated
- Thinly sliced fresh basil for garnish
In the stovetop-safe insert of slow cooker over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any large chunks with a wooden spoon, until the meat is browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and water and bring to a simmer. Transfer the sauce to a large bowl.
In another bowl, stir together the ricotta, parsley, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of the slow-cooker insert. Cover the sauce with a single layer of uncooked lasagna noodles (about 3), breaking the noodles as needed to fit. Spread about 1/3 cup of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with about 2 cups of the sauce, then sprinkle with about 1 cup of the mozzarella and 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Repeat the layering 4 more times, starting with the noodles.
Transfer the insert to the slow-cooker base, cover and cook on low according to the manufacturer's instructions until the noodles are tender and cooked through, about 4 hours.
Position a rack in the center of an oven and preheat to broil.
Transfer the slow-cooker insert to the oven and broil until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Let the lasagna rest for 20 minutes before serving. Garnish with basil and serve immediately. Serves 12.

- Chicken Taco Salad
To prepare the chicken, in a large fry pan over medium heat, warm the oil until almost smoking. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, tomatoes, cilantro and oregano and stir to combine. Season with salt. Stir in the stock and cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the tomatoes are soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt. Set aside.
Line a baking sheet with paper towels. In a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, pour in oil to a depth of 3 inches and heat to 360°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Using a tortilla basket according to the manufacturer's instructions, fry the tortillas 1 at a time until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Place each fried tortilla on an individual plate. Top with lettuce, beans, chicken, cheese, tomatoes, cilantro, avocado and salsa, dividing equally. Pass additional salsa alongside. Serves 6.

Rated 1 out of 5 by crashdavis69 from Embarrassment for Williams-Sonoma Bought this slow cooker 5 years ago, used it quite a bit. Crockpot stopped working this week, electrical panel won't light up and the buttons would not respond. Also the aluminum insert was peeling badly. Overall I expect more from Williams Sonoma as other appliances (toaster, coffee pot, blender) we bought from them have lasted much longer.Date published: 2019-01-05Rated 1 out of 5 by Samantha from THE. WORST. DO NOT waste your money on this slow cooker!!!! I have barely used mine which I've had just over 2yrs. It quit heating on the warming and low functions. I emailed All Clad and due to it being over 24mo since purchase they will not do anything. I can send it to them for a fee and they will diagnose the issue and give me an estimate for repair. I chose to buy from them thinking I would get a high quality product as I have all of their pots and pans and love them. I will never purchase an electric from them again.Date published: 2019-01-05Rated 1 out of 5 by frenchwillow from Don't purchase under any circumstance... I'm honestly shocked that Williams Sonoma continues to sell this product. Both WS and All-Clad should be embarrassed. I've now had two of these slow cookers over the last five years, with All Clad replacing the insert twice while still under warranty. It continues to bubble and peel -and with the last one I ONLY cooked on low power to try and ensure this wouldn't happen. It's clearly a defective product that WS keeps passing on to unsuspecting customers. Now my second cooker is peeling again and I'll end up throwing this one away as well. This leaves me without a slow cooker despite spending over $600 on these two with WS. Do not purchase it -you would get better quality at a cheap big box retailer.Date published: 2018-12-22Rated 1 out of 5 by lindy from Problem with the cast aluminum insert I have had my All-Clad 7 qt electric slow cooker with cast aluminum insert for 3-4 years. The coating on the insert has ruptured in several places, one of the places is 1/2" by 1/2". I called Williams-Sonoma but they wouldn't assume any responsibility and directed me to All-Clad.Date published: 2018-12-10Rated 2 out of 5 by zevbear from Insert fails in a short time Unit works well till insert start peeling - happens quicklyDate published: 2018-12-10Rated 1 out of 5 by sunnyside25 from do not buy! Have had this item for almost 2 year, we rarely use it. The insert is bubbling and needs to be replaced. This thing is a piece of junk and should not be sold, esp for the price they mark it at. I want my money back!!!Date published: 2018-11-29Rated 1 out of 5 by Plumper from Broke down for no apparent reason I had an older version of this and needed a second one. I used it no more than 5 times and then it just stopped working. Also tried several outlets with the same result. The controls just wouldn't respond at all. The display just faded away... Disappointing and I won't be buying the same one again.Date published: 2018-11-16Rated 5 out of 5 by Nancy from Ready to buy another Wow, just thinking about getting a second slow cooker and wanted to price them. Saw the poor reviews and was curious. I love, love, love my slow cooker! Use it weekly in the winter and have had for around 8-10 years. The stovetop browning insert is the key to absolutely delicious meals. Well I need a second one so will be purchasing. Right now I give it a five stars plus. Easy to use , easy to clean.Date published: 2018-11-06
I'm on my 2nd non-stick insert and it has also started to peel. The mechanics of the machine still work though. Can I use a ceramic insert instead with the same mechanical device? Hi SWinMD - Please contact the All Clad customer service team at 800-255-2523 for a replacement insert. We do not recommend mixing the ceramic and non-stick inserts as they were designed for the technical base that they are sold with.Date published: 2018-10-22

As mentioned before, if you want to see the steps that performed into solving the problems, you have to upgrade the Mathway into a paid version. Upgrading to the paid version will cost you either a $19.99 monthly subscription or $79.99 per year. Paying removes all third-party advertising. Mathway also lets you save your problem history, and access the step-by-step solutions from anywhere. Depending on the length of time you enable step-checking, it can run into some money, but your subscription can easily be canceled.
Moreover, the paid version can actually be your virtual tutor. Mathway will show you steps and formulas and how it actually arrived at them. Even the free version is a valuable tool for students, anyone involved in math or the sciences, or indeed anyone who occasionally needs to solve math problems that go beyond the abilities of the calculator function built into your computer. In case, if you are simply using the Mathway to deal with few numbers, there's no reason to upgrade.
A Cornucopia of Calculators
The Mathway has a pull-down menu listing the app's 10 subject areas: Basic Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Statistics, Finite Math, Linear Algebra, Chemistry. Rest other subjects are also covered but would appear under one of the headings above. For instances, the Basic Math calculator includes keys marked with various geometrical shapes: square, circle, triangle, cube, cone, sphere, and cylinder, among others.
Mathway is the best Math Problem Solver with a variety of functions
The Mathway application does not have any guide or help as such. All you need to do is explore the app by yourself. For instances, pressing the calculator's key marked with a circle calls up a circle with a dotted line denoting its radius (r), followed by "r = ?" with the question mark shaded in gray, inviting you to enter a value for r. If you input a value, say 1.3, and press Enter, a menu with the title "How should I answer?" appears, offering 10 choices, among them Find the Area, Find the Circumference, Graph, Evaluate the Function, and Convert to Radical Form.
Similarly, in the Trigonometry calculator, tapping the keyboard's Sin/Cos brings to the foreground a keypad with 24 buttons – Sin, Cos, Tan, Sec, Csc, and Cot; Arcsin, Arccos, and so on. For example, if you press Sin and enter x, a list of operations appears under the question "How should I answer?" Pressing the first item, Graph calls up a graph of a sine curve.
Mathway has all the symbols needed for Math operations
All 10 of the calculators share the left-most 2/3 of the keyboard, which includes commonly used symbols such as the integers 0 through 9, the variables x, y, and z, open and close parentheses and brackets, signs for the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), an equals sign, exponents, and roots.
What differentiates them is the other third of the keyboard, whether it be the geometric shapes in Basic Math, the Trigonometry calculator's 24 functions, or Calculus's logs, summations, integrals, and limits, to name a few.
There are two ways to enter an equation in Mathway: either by using the keyboard or by photographing the equation with your iPad's camera.
The input with the keyboard is a better option, though it needs some trial and error based attempts to enter certain items like exponents properly. Although entering equations simply by photographing them is a great idea, in practice the app didn't do well in recognizing some of the characters.
Value Squared
The Mathway app is actually a lot more than one could ever need. The functionality that the app has is simply a complete package of all the terms a mathematician could ever need in his life. Mathway has all the operations and functions, you could need. I repeat, all. If you are unable to find the operation, take time to seek it away. Rest sure, it will be there present on Mathway. In case, the camera could not fetch you exact functionality, input the equation manually.
Mathway is exceptionally and exclusively very much good mathematics tool. If you are pursuing your sciences, or you are a math or science student, and frequently have to solve even mildly complex math problems, Mathway is definitely a boon for you. If you need to see the steps that go into calculating an answer, it will cost you extra bucks, but it is still a lot less expensive than paying for a math tutor.
How to upgrade Mathway into paid version?
To upgrade the app, you tap the Upgrade button that appears in a pull-down menu when you tap the gear icon at the screen's upper right.
You then select between the $19.99 monthly and $79.99 yearly subscription, and when prompted, enter your Apple ID.
You are charged through your Apple account, rather than directly from Mathway.
If you tire of the paid version, or it doesn't fit your needs, it is easy enough to cancel your subscription from your iPad's Settings menu.
Mathway is compatible with the-
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch; there's also an Android version. I tested it with an iPad Air 2 running iOS 10.3.
Mathway users review
Parents need to be aware of the fact that Mathway is extremely useful and distraction-free app for math solving. Mathway is not a cheat app. The app only shows answers on the free version. Students can benefit a lot from the app and learn how and when the steps are to be implemented. Although ads will pop up on a free version of Mathway, it is still distraction free. Mathway is an app as well as a website that lets users plug in math equations and tap on "Evaluate" to find solutions. As mentioned already, the free version of Mathway only gives the answers, but a subscription will give step-by-step solutions to problems in a wide variety of math types, including basic math, pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus.
MATHWAY lets you plug in math equations and instantly see their respective solutions. With a paid subscription, they also get step-by-step instructions on how to arrive at that solution. You simply need to pick a subject. For example, trigonometry, pre-algebra or chemistry. A menu then displays useful related symbols and operations such as an integral symbol for algebra, and users can tap or select those tools to set up their equations. After setting up a problem, you need to tap "Evaluate" to see the answer, and they can tap the folder icon to add this problem to their Saved Problems list. You also can see a graph and graph functions on-screen, can create a custom practice worksheet based on a particular math topic from an extensive drop-down menu, and view an extensive glossary.
Even though the Mathway app can result into a great cheat tool for teens looking for a shortcut, this app has supportive features for guided practice that make it a worthy, flexible companion for math students through out the range of grade levels, especially with a subscription.
Creating custom worksheets is one best way to practice before a test, and the glossary is great because kids can browse alphabetically or by topic, and individual entries show up as highlighted, clickable text in the explanations of different problems. The graphing feature also is especially good in that it's a simple, user-friendly way to neatly, precisely graph equations or illustrate geometric figures. The subscription is pricey for sure, and there will definitely be kids who will only use it to copy down solutions, so look for stark differences between homework and test performance as a possible indication of misuse; however, if used properly, the various features could help struggling kids or those who want to explore math beyond the classroom.
- Parents, teachers or guardians need to talk with kids about how they might use the custom worksheet-creation feature before a quiz or test to review.
- Talk more broadly and clearly about how a tool like Mathway is a good tool to check, guide and assist your work rather than to use it as a cheat tool.
- Tell the kids to set up a problem on Mathway. Make your kid work out the problem with pencil and paper, have them explain each step she used to solve the problem, and then use Mathway to check the work. If you have the paid subscription, talk through the step-by-step solution and see how it matches up with your kid's own work.
- Kids and teens should ponder on – Have you created your own glossary of terms from the built-in glossary? What words are important to understanding for your current math class or syllabus? How are those terms related?
First Review
Miss Bookworm reviewed the app by saying, "As a person who relies on user reviews, I did not find many users at the college level leaving reviews so I decided to leave mine. I found this app to be a good tool, as a college student, I was able to do most of my algebra homework with this problem solver. After testing out other apps I found that Mathway continues to give the correct answer, I did not need to purchase the item for the problem explanations, but I am comforted by the thought that if I do need to purchase it the future I can just pay five bucks a day if need be."
Second Review
Yvonne Brassfield, another Mathway user recommended using the app by reviewing the app as one of the best. Yvonne says, "Amazing app that allows you to complete different math problems, from basic math to advance operations. You just need to know how to input the information correctly otherwise some problems will not register. There is no fee for just the answers, and there is a monthly fee to show you the steps need to learn and obtain the answers. You might want to consider paying the fee, for additional help and to actually learn what you need to do. Between this app and Calculatorsoup.com (for all your calculator needs for free), my son is passing math. I'm telling everyone who has a child in school and is struggling with math about this app. It is a Godsend."
third Review
E Willson, who also use the Mathway app for algebra problem solving, review by saying, "I started using this app in middle school when I took algebra 1 and I haven't stopped using it. Now I'm taking pre-calculus and this app has been a lifesaver. I have it on my computer, phone, and kindle! It does suck that it doesn't show the work without paying (which is why I gave a 4) but most of the time if you have an idea of what you're doing you can work backward from the answer. Good luck with your math work!"
Forth Review
Such Rage found the Mathway app excellent and he reviewed by saying, 'Math way is the only way dude. Equations, formulas, simple math, all that shot, BOOM! Solved like a mother trucking baus. It will totally get you the answer you want, the controls seem tricky at first, but you'll quickly get a handle on it. Docked one star cause it Dosent let you see the work unless you buy a membership… other than that, I totally recommend"

After the reveal of the Galaxy Note8 earlier this month, Samsung is continuing their exciting announcements with the unveiling of three new, enhanced wearable products.
The tech giant made the reveal at IFA 2017 in Berlin, revealing details of a sleek new smartwatch, a new version of Samsung's GPS sports band and the second generation of the company's wireless earbuds.
With the new Gear devices, Samsung has introduced new smart capabilities and easy-to-use features to help users assist with a range of activities and go beyond fitness.
The Gear Sport smartwatch is designed with military-level durability, is water resistant up to 50m and can also as a remote control or a contactless payment option with Samsung Pay.
It boasts a circular bezel, has a super AMOLED 1.2-inch display and comes in either black or blue colour options – but at least the straps are interchangeable.
Next up is Samsung's advanced GPS fitness band, the Gear Fit2 Pro, which offers new swim and heart rate monitoring capabilities as well as advanced built-in GPS tracking to accurately capture your run or ride.
This is another product that features the Super AMOLED curved display, this time featuring a 1.5-inch display and colour touchscreen to make notifications easier to read. The Fear Fit2 Pro is available in black and red.
The final of the new product launches is the Gear IconX, Samsung's second generation cord-free earbuds that now comes with an improved battery life and new colour designs – black, grey and pink.
The Gear IconX can automatically track your running routines and features a standalone Running Coach function to provide in-ear audio exercise status updates in real-time.
Music can be enjoyed both on and offline, either by transferring songs from a smartphone or a PC or over bluetooth onto the 4GB of internal storage – and the cool bit is with a simple tap and hold of the earbud you can use your voice to control your music or your phone.
"At Samsung, we celebrate the everyday athlete – whether you're going for a light jog, or training for your next triathlon," Samsung's President of Mobile Communications Business DJ Koh said in a statement.
"We have a long history of embracing choice and innovation, and our wearables are designed to help consumers of varying fitness levels meet their goals and aspirations. We want to help remove the stigma that fit can only mean one thing and that fitness trackers are complex and for only the most intense of workouts.
"Our new Samsung Gear wearables help consumers 'go beyond fitness' and enjoy an active, balanced and fulfilled life in a smart and seamless way."

USD/JPY broke above 2015's falling trendline this week signaling a possible shift back into its prevailing trend. Now it is in a pullback. Let's assess the technical developments.
After the break above a falling trendline, USD/JPY failed to extend above the next barrier around 119 and thus held under the 200-, and 100-period SMAs. This does not completely invalidate the bullish breakout, and if price can hold above 117 and return above 118, the pressure will be back to 119, with the 120 level as the next key challenge for the bullish outlook.
If USD/JPY breaks below 117, the previous breakout is likely false, and pressure will be back to the 115.85-116 low on the year, as well as the 115.65 December-low.

When Mason Brian Barclay's friend Houston Shelton was hosting a sleepover recently he really wanted to attend. But unfortunately, her mum had made a same-sex rule.
So the teenager, from Indiana, decided to take matters into his own hands and send a text directly to Houston's mum, asking permission to attend.
"This is Mason Brian Barclay, I am one of Houston's new best friends," he said.
"If she had people over on Friday, would I, a very homosexual male, be able to take part in the sleepover?"
He continued: "I think the common meaning behind only allowing the same sex to share sleepovers is due to the typical interest in the opposite sex, when in this case, I do not like the opposite sex.
"Thank you for your time and consideration, have a great night. Amen."
In response, Houston's mum sent Mason, 19, a hilarious one-liner, saying: "Hmm. Well, my husband is hot. Should I worry?"
The mum's brilliant response has received more than 1,700 likes.
Speaking to HuffPost UK, Mason confirmed he did indeed attend the sleepover.
"We had a great time, we ordered pizza and watched my favourite show 'The Simple Life' - I'm a huge Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie fan," he said.
"Meeting her mum for the first time since the post blew up was really cool and funny."

GG town. I got outplayed so hard by David and Blink's TPR handling. Unknown believed Ami was Lenin and I genuinely believed Dunna was playing the "too ridiculous to be Lenin" card and was actually Lenin. When Blink revealed himself as the true Lenin I knew I was more or less screwed. And waking up to find out David was actually sleeper agent and had checked and confirmed me as scum and then gotten me lynched... That was just the cherry on the cake.
Ultimately, the sheer quality of strong town players kept the scum on lock all game. Fielz prowling every post, Blink with the godreads, citizens TPR baiting. Even the players that ultimately caused the town pain like Rumox and Mago were at least active, and made the more quiet slots like Lenneth stand out more. Such prolific, active games make it far harder for scum to slip under ther radar.
On reflection, I don't think I coordinated productively with my team on n1. We just discussed what night actions we wanted to take and went into little detail about how we'd handle specific scenarios psychologically. It's not like we didn't have the time to dicuss all this - MM and Unk were on for a couple hours after the lynch but I had minimal discussion discussion with MM about how he should handle the BG claim in various scenarios. On n2 I made the exact same mistake and focused purely on what night actions I'd take without planning out how I'd handle specific scenarios properly. I also handled night actions terribly in general. I had a lot of trouble committing to one choice of night actions, which hindered me more than it helped.
I didn't lie about how little I've played scum, but I did enjoy this game a lot more than my previous traumatic experiences. I did get some strange pathological high out of acting hysteric about Blink's roleclaim suggestions on day 2, and various other moments in the game (I'm not a sociopath I swear). In the future it'll probably be harder for me to be townread, so I'ma have to try harder to work on my flaws in future games heheh.
This game was a trickle down effect from my shit claim, pro town indeed. MM was blatantly obvious in the mm/naz/fielz trio regarding me and Unknown fucked himself over hammering me.
I played like shit this game lmao. I guess I shouldn't be playing FM this close in time to an exam.
I apologize to blink, aamirus and Fielz for acting like a total moron
gj for yzb25 for manipulating my empathy at one point, there won't be a second success though, I'll pay special attention to such manipulation attempts later on even IF IT MAY BACKFIRE ON THAT SPECIFIC PERSON.

Because at our core, we are an engineering company. Our engineering is impeccably reliable. We abide by our promises and deliver on our commitments. Predictable reliability can never be achieved through passive regurgitation of what has worked in the past. We have always delivered top-notch quality while continually innovating. We remain true to our values. Our behavior is consistent and predictable.
The 'timeless' comes from the fact that we do not play to the gallery for short-term returns. We earn respect by always doing what's right for our customer in the long-term.
GI/TERM is very useful to log into multiple places at one time and seeing the virtual printer data is very easy to view and to cut and paste into another document.
TPF/GI – It's great because once you get the hang of it you have a way to see variables and specific data elements as you trace. Very helpful with troubleshooting / debugging problems.
TPF/GI I like having all of the information about Data Levels and Variables one click away.
I like TPF/IDE as an editor as it is much more friendly than VM tools.
SourceView is great because I can be looking at the specific line of code being executed and still see what is happening to all my work blocks, ecb area, etc.
I have been a QA programmer in TPF for over 15 years, so I am constantly trying to recreate and fix problems. CMSTPF was a huge step forward in problem-solving. It's tracing abilities for single-ECB functions have helped me solve many problems that would have been very difficult in a typical lab environment. Obviously, TPF/GI has those same valuable tracing tools, but with the added bonus of a friendly Windows interface.
I use GI/TERM daily. What I like the most is the ability to work with multiple sessions while still having access to TPF at the same time. It makes troubleshooting much easier.
I like TPF/IDE because it allows me to be able to use one tool to view files on all of the different platforms that we have. I also like TPF/IDE because it provides a way to easily move files from one platform to another.
As someone who had spent many years waiting for program listings to print in order to instruction trace segments, the Source View option has saved many hours and increased productivity immensely.
TPF/GI is an awesome test tool! the new T-REX features make system effeciency enhancements easy to quantify and justify. They also assist us QA-types with problem investigation and solution. I use SourceView exclusively with initial testing of code revisions because of it's ability to pinpoint problems and show me variable values. TPF/IDE is a must-have tool for all C-programmers.
CMSTPF – Its your own local copy of database.. Problems? Dumps?.. No worries.. play with it and get it tested.. Great tool for initial testing phase.
I use TPF/GI, GI/TERM, TPF/IDE, CTFS, T-REX, Source View. I like those products because they give me the feeling I'm developing more windows based software rather than knowing I'm developing on a mainframe. They allow me to quickly deploy software and aid from design, development, intergrated test, customer test and post phases. Through college I worked with IDE to develop code mostly on Linux and probably would not have lasted too long on TPF without these products. Thank you very much!
CTFS – A great tool to allow access to communication links through a TPF/GI or CMSTPF session.
TPFGI – I quality test prior to release of production products for my team. We use CTFSS in conjuction with TPFGI to receive real time link traffic which gives us a very powerful desktop tool.
Good Job! Keep up the good work.
We would like to see TPF Software with us in the future projects also.
URM decommissioning project completed in Nov. 2010: Appreciate your dedication to getting this completed.
URM decommissioning project completed in Nov. 2010: Thank you to you and everyone involved in the completion of the fixed bid work for sticking with the project through the lengthy extension of the schedule.
Thanks so much for you and your team's support to make this happened.
It's really a good experience to work with you. Thanks.
I first want to thank you and your team for a successful Multiple TCB implementation on our TROYA ALCS system. It was a very smooth transition – beyond my expectations. I expect us to partner on other projects with the same level of success.
I've been tracing with ALCS/GI for a long time and find it an invaluable trace tool providing much more flexibility than before. I then found the old trace tool slow, cumbersome and frustrating as I needed to recall and apply all the trace entry formats again.
zIDE has certainly changed the way I code. Being a developer who uses advanced IDE's such as eclipse and Visual Studio, it?s great to be able to use an Editor that behaves similarly.
zTPFGI is great for z/Linux or z/TPF related file setups and testing. For .so creation, loads and testing it is a dream. Saves key strokes in not having to sign into Linux (putty), which is a lengthy process.
Thank you for the tutorials, they were really useful … zTREX enables us to compare instruction counts and other data between two (or more) different ECBs, and that's exactly what we wanted.
[TPF Software] have made a very intuitive product – zTPFGI. It proved to be an excellent tool in resolving bugs found in the z/TPF migration effort.
Almost everyone has a horror story or three when it comes to customer support, but not so with TPF Software. I have found the product support for TPF Software?s products to be consistently superior. Responses to inquiries and help with troubleshooting (though rarely needed) have always been pleasingly prompt.
Congratulations to all on the hard work and dedicated to arresting this condition from our system. I appreciate the hard work!
Congratulations to all on the hard work and dedicated to arresting this condition from our system. I appreciate the hard work!?
I like TPG/GI because the colors are so beautiful. When I feel down and depressed, which happens often in this stressful industry, only I have to do in start up my TPF/GI session and run a few traces and source views. The beautiful colors of the ECB displays just calm me down and make me feel that all is right with the world. I just wish that there was some way to add aromatherapy to TPF/GI!
I use TPF/IDE for TPF development mainly in C. The editor is perfect for our environment. Unlike other products editors, this one is geared for the mainframe environment and recognizes the restraints and restrictions of that environment so we don't have to. After development is complete I switch over to TPF/GI and use Source View for my initial TPF unit testing. TPF/GI is a marvelous testing tool for TPF/C. I don't know of another product that makes the testing of C code in the TPF environment that so easily gives you control over the access to your testing variables and environment. I don't think these products can be beat. Plus the support for these product from TPF Software is exemplary.

Monsieur is a famous magazine about men's fashion,cars,food and wine.
I have known it since I was 6 years old and been adoring the paintings.
They look very simple and clear but on the same time original.
The reason why I am writing about this is that I had the honor to met mr. Francois Jean Daehn who is the director of the magazine and mr. Floc'h who (besides writing and making comics )is drawing for many years now the covers and many articles for Monsieur.

With an enviable location on Long Island and close to New York City, your Jamesport vacation rental has lots to offer. A quaint hamlet near the town of Riverhead, Jamesport's population swells in the summer months as vacationers take advantage of the beautiful beaches surrounding Great Peconic Bay. Taking its name from the first settler, James Tuthill, Jamesport was a fishing community until the Long Island Rail Road extended the line, transforming it into a popular summer resort. Today the area is known for its vineyards, restaurants and bars, meaning you'll never be far from a good bottle of wine.
Jamesport has a very easygoing, laidback atmosphere. Less expensive that the neighboring Hamptons and still retaining a rural feeling, with farmland and beaches surrounding the hamlet, Jamesport inspires outdoor activities like boating, swimming and cycling. Relax in the sun on either Iron Pier or South Jamesport Beach, take a dip in the bay or rent bikes to cruise the local area and take in the sight of vineyards, pumpkin patches and commercial flower farms, as far as the eye can see. Head back into town for a selection of restaurants serving organic food and a well-earnt glass of wine.
Long Island is full of things to see and do. Just a short drive from your Jamesport vacation rental is the town of Riverhead, with great attractions for the kids. Long Island Aquarium has the largest coral reef displays in America. Its 120,000-gallon shark tank, penguin encounters and sea lion shows are bound to thill the whole family. If you're feeling really brave, why not try a caged shark dive? Alternatively, the Railroad Museum of Long Island, also in Riverhead, exhibits working locomotives and miniature railways dedicated to the history of the railroads linking Long Island with the city.
Recognized as a mainly summer retreat, Jamesport is at its most popular during the high season. While New York City melts in the August heat, those clever enough to escape to a Jamesport vacation rental will find the sea breeze and sheltered beaches of Great Peconic Bay the perfect place to cool off. In spring and fall, when the prices dip, so too does the weather. Those who don't mind the odd drop of rain can enjoy Jamestown without the crowds. The fall season brings the grape harvests and is a much more affordable time for wine tasting.
Hallock State Park is a 225-acre shorefront preserve set just north of Jamesport on Long Island Sound. With meadow, forest, a couple of lakes and the shorefront, Hallock is home to an abundance of plant and animal species. Long Island has very few large animals, other than white-tailed deer, but the park is home to opossum, mink and weasels. There are also several different species of bats who call the preserve home. The visitor center and noticeboards dotting all the trails are full of information on the wildlife present. Lucky visitors to the shore may spot seals in the bay.

A CANADIAN man was caught on camera jumping into freezing water to save his puppy after the pet fell through the ice.
Footage shows dog owner Duncan McIver, from Alberta, plunging into an icy pond before swimming desperately to save his French bulldog Cosmo.
The pup can be seen struggling to paddle as he tries to keep his head above the freezing water when the thin ice breaks beneath him.
Without hesitation, Duncan jumps in to reach him but he falls through ice as he crosses the water to save Cosmo.
Duncan soon gets the animal to climb on a strip of concrete to get relief before they both eventually manage to scramble to shore - drenched and cold, but safe.
The dog rescue was captured by local news CTV by chance - who were in the area to film a generic story on ice safety when the dramatic scene unfolded before them.
CTV Edmonton reporter Angela Jung called emergency services to the park while co-incidentally reporting on a recent increase in ice rescues in the area.
Dog owner Duncan told CTV Edmonton: "As soon as the ice broke, I just went right in… I think most people would do the same for their dog.
"I think most people would do the same for their dog."
He added: "It's a split second thing. You're not just going to let him die, right?"

text: I was pleasantly surprised when I weighed myself this morning to find I had lost another 5 lbs in the last 6 weeks. So I am starting 15 lbs lighter than January 1. In addition to the meals shown below, I have had 3 oz of cheddar cheese and will probably have a Granny Smith apple tonight. It was too hot today to have the oven on so there was no cornbread for dinner. Luckily the chili was already made and in the freezer.

DIY Teacher's Day Gift
So for those of us who do not home school there is a special day or week set aside each May to celebrate teachers. My kids love making their own Teacher's Day gifts, really they love making DIY gifts for anyone really lol! When we lived in Louisiana they actually celebrated the teachers for an entire week and sent home a daily gift guide and that was really cool, I made this Teacher Appreciation Week Printable for my family, so we can still do a special thing each day to show our teachers appreciation.
Teachers Do So Much
Teacher's really do so much for our babies. Not only are they the ones with them most of the day, but they are nourishing their hearts and minds during those hours. On top of that they provide so much financially for our children to be able to do activities and projects in school each day. They don't make much money, but they dedicate so much of their time, love and finances into our children. Showing our appreciation should be a mandatory thing in my opinion!
DIY Treat For Our Teachers
I decided to go ahead and make, instead of buy, a special treat to give the teachers this year and I got the recipe on Pinterest for the yummy caramel sauce, you can check out that awesome blog here! It looks SO yummy and I actually saved a little for myself 🙂!
Okay so we made the caramel cream cheese sauce and put it in 4 oz mason jars. I have four teachers total to make a gift for so we had half of the sauce left, thank goodness or I would've had to make more lol! We then put the apples on top of each jar and wrapped it in cello bags.
I made this cute gift tag printable to go with the gift. You can print them out on card stock, punch a hole in them and tie them to the gift. I used ribbon I had left from Tom's first birthday party. You can use twine or any ribbon you have on hand though!
They came out so adorable and were super simple to make. The kids had fun making them and the dip was so satisfying for baby Alex and me 😉!
What kinds of gifts do you make or buy for the teachers at your child's school?

If Peterson Santos or Darin French walked the halls of a typical high school, many students would feel uncomfortable and possibly avert their eyes. Some of the friendlier ones might offer them a smile, and, if no one were looking, perhaps even say hello.
Santos, 18, and French, 20, are special students who attend a special school--Esperanza School.
Established in 1973, Esperanza--Spanish for hope --educates 117 trainable mentally handicapped students--from preschoolers to adults. The school, up the hill from Mission Viejo High, is part of the Saddleback Valley Unified district.
Within Esperanza's curriculum is the high school program, in which 48 students from ages 15 to 21 learn academics and job skills.
Esperanza's principal, Ruby Edman, said her school's students would have difficulty at other high schools because of problems with concentration, language skills and articulation. Many of them speak in only three- or four-word phrases.

A Heartwarming Banana Pie TalePosted by Justin D. Pereira at 1:54 AM
I was never a fan of pastries. I didn't enjoy the sweetness of the dessert and especially the crust where if I had to eat it, I would only finish the filling. While at Katong Shopping Centre, a strong aroma eluded the entire basement level. It was those fragrances that once you smell it, you know you want it. It was a pleasant surprise that it was actually the baking of Fresh Banana Pies in the oven of Dona Manis Cake Shop.
It was temptation without words and the fact that there were people buying boxes of the pies led me to tell myself that I must buy a slice.
My first bite – a sudden tug at my heart. The delicate sweetness of the banana and the gritty coconut dusted crust contrasted each other.
My second bite – I just felt like crying.
Somehow, the pie reminded me of the very scene where our forefathers worked through sweat and tears to bring us to what we are today. Somehow, each bite simply brought back the memories of home.
There was a certain tenderness, and yet at the same time you could feel the loving work placed in by the old bakers. It was a pastry like I never had before.
Sadly, the shopping centre is already old. And I do not know how long it can last for. It does not seem like this homely tradition will carry on, once the leaves of time fade away.
Price per slice of Banana Pie : $2.00
Dona Manis Cake Shop
Katong Shopping Centre, 865 Mountbatten Road #B1-93
Tel : 6440 7688. Closed on Sundays.

bronte creek provincial park, oakville to uxbridge
110 km (part one)
the morning broke relatively cool and sunny.
a fragile time in the lives of many people.
how to get fourteen people to take care of that most critical and vulnerable phase of the day?
it was a miracle that took place each and every day of the ride.
a miracle that most miraculously always included coffee.
a few of the more truthful and inwardly confident riders admitted that this had been one of their main pre-ride anxieties. not the weather, the distance, the people. nope, would there be coffee!
here's michael carefully assembling the food to break his fast.
after observing that michael the hungry beast has moved on,
john paul steps over and assembles his morning meal.
here's part of the team huffing back their breakfast in the cozy confines of their camp chairs
under a gorgeous beginning of the day sky.
the raccoon that had showed up last night was still at work and reappeared to the left of the
orange bike just moments after i took this picture.
somehow, miraculously, everyday this and so much else was achieved.
like most things, this was a team effort. somehow people got things done. food bins were brought out. dishes and cutlery appeared, and eventually when the frenzy was over, snacks for the ride appeared, and then the whole was tidied up and put away. different people chipped in each day to help make this, and everything else happen.
you know this is how things should be in all parts of our lives,
but to actually be a part of something like that - well it's special!
a member of the oakville rotary club arrived at our campsite to escort us safely and quickly out of oakville and through the circuitous route that gets us north of toronto.
i'm sorry i can't tell you his name but he really was a super nice guy and a strong cyclist!
i'm pretty sure that he is a member of the oakville cycling club so here's the link to their page.
the route he took us on was safe and gorgeous, and while longer than what we had planned
it was definitely the better route.
we travelled through beautiful countryside and eventually met up with the rolling hills that characterize much of the land that sits north of the toronto conurbation.
speaking of good people.
here's an over-the-shoulder shot of bike buddy jolianne.
jolianne is one of those very quiet people who do amazing things.
jolianne completed the tour d'afrique.
never heard of it?
well, it's a 12,000 km ride from cairo to capetown.
no typo - 12,000 kilometres.
think about that.
almost 12 times what we were cycling!!!
if you're interested in the incredible details of the tour d'afrique
then you need to nip over here and have a look and learn about this gruelling and incredible journey!
our rotary guide left us at belfountain to heaps of gratitude from the team.
on we went through the hills and valleys.
bike buddy ben and i spent quite a bit of this day up front
racing along at a good clip and gabbing.
here's a shot of ben at speed going uphill.
with nice open roads, beautiful scenery, and the prospect of
lunch was sent out to the park we stopped in.
i'm pretty sure that it was provided by the rotary club
and consisted of subs and cookies. wow!
then some of the boys from the uxbridge cycling club arrived to guide us the last fifty km or so into uxbridge.
not to worry, eventually the pace picked up and so did the hills!
long rolling hills and some of the heat - dry heat, but heat all the same - returned
and the combination made for some hard cycling.
going down the other side of the hills - well there was lots of yelling and high speed!

I have more questions than answers. For instance, how can I find a good ending for the Fence key story? It looks like I have boxed the main character into a corner. I have given him an amazing ability to read people's minds. I mean quite literally read, because thoughts not only appear on Jed's forehead but on other people's as well. It's a bit like a stigmata, a spontaneously appearing phenomena. Jed has also learned to read other people's emotions …they correspond to the font type that the thoughts are printed in. Comic Sans means the person is happy go lucky, monotype corsiva belongs to a person prone to flowery speech, whereas IMPACT belongs to an angry person.
Jed's psychiatrist, Damien Kelly wants to help, (in more ways than one, if he got his way.) He knows a virologist and someone in the church who can cast out demons, but they want a lot of money to do it. How will Jed and his cool friend Johnny find a way to get the money? Will it be the Churh or science that save Jed? Will there be a twist?… there has to be!!
