Sept 7, 2009 - George Frey - The Associated Press
MUNICH - German reinsurer Munich Re AG said its main role in the proposed Desertec solar energy project is currently as a catalyst and advisor, but could become a bigger investor and possible insurer for the project in future - if and when it gets built.
Desertec, still on the drawing board, aims to produce solar-generated electricity for much of Europe, Africa and the Middle East in coming years through a vast network of generating facilities and transmission grids across North Africa and the Middle East.
Speaking in a recent interview with The Associated Press, Munich Re's chief financial officer Joerg Schneider said the reinsurer is for now a leader in the consortium of companies involved, but that Munich Re would "be happy to support it further" either as an investor or by eventually insuring it.
"We very willingly take the role for the interim phase of being the driver of the cooperation in order to make it move," Schneider said.
"That is our task at the moment, to set everything up so that it is then self-running. Then there will be an intensive project phase."
The three-year project phase will focus on creating the regulatory framework and developing a detailed rollout plan to allow stakeholders, including governments, to evaluate their possible involvement and investment. The next step in Desertec will be to legally incorporate, he said, which is planned for Oct. 31.
"We'll try to do our best to speed it up," Schneider said, adding that "political realization is the main question mark here. Is it possible to really find and create enough solid ground for such enormous investments?"
Over the summer, a consortium of 12 European companies announced plans to build the project in North Africa and the Middle East which they said could satisfy 15 percent of Europe's energy needs by 2050.
The Desertec consortium also includes Deutsche Bank AG, German industrial conglomerate Siemens AG, and the German power companies RWE AG and E.ON AG.
The project would be based largely on solar power plants, which use mirrors to focus the sun's energy to heat liquid and power turbines. Such plants are already running in the U.S., Spain and elsewhere.
"Within six hours, deserts receive more energy from the sun than humankind consumes within a year," according to the Desertec Foundation's Web site.
The project is probably still far from being realized though, given the enormous cost and funding necessary to build the project alone - while generation and transmission will also come at no small cost.
Still, other risks remain, like potential political instability or even terrorism threats in the region, while some environmentalists say Europe would be better served sticking to smaller-scale solar facilities at home.
The German Aerospace Center estimates the new electricity transport network alone will cost some euro45 billion ($63 billion), while the group forecast the entire project could approach some euro400 billion.
"Desertec has the unique chance not only to do something for Europe's power provisions, but to also do a lot for these countries," Schneider said.
"That, I think, is very important; to bring wealth to these countries. It is therefore a unique chance to bridge the cultural gap between Europe and Africa somewhat," he said, calling it "a huge vision."
The Desertec consortium said it had already started discussing the project with governments in Europe and Africa, though wasn't specific as to which ones. Morocco, for example, has already expressed interest.
The company said it was still too early to say how equity investors might join the project, if it gets built.
Shares of Munich Re were down about a third of a percent at euro104.20 ($149.00) in Frankfurt afternoon trading.

Company Coverage
Executive Summary
Although, virtual reality had laid down its presence in nineteenth century, it has the greatest scope of development today and in near future. Virtual Reality is a technique which has the ability to place users into a completely different, alternate environment. This alternative environment is computer generated and can be fully immersive or non-immersive.

With the coming up of virtual reality, a simultaneous development of augmented reality can be seen. While similar, there is certainly a difference between the two: Augmented reality enhances the real life with artificial images and adds graphics, while virtual reality replaces the real world with artificial.
Virtual reality platform is mainly divided into two components: Software and Hardware. Software is mainly the content which is displayed through HMDs, which is the hardware component of virtual reality. Virtual reality can be majorly segmented by applications and technology. With the use of technology a stimulated environment is created. Technology is further subdivided into three categories: data processing, display and peripherals. Virtual reality has four major applications, which are in the field of Entertainment, Healthcare, E-Commerce and Training Simulation.
The growth of virtual reality market is driven by increasing smartphone users, increasing worldwide gamers, rising GNI per capita, affordable virtual reality devices and financial support for the Virtual reality companies. But there are some challenges which this industry faces, such as limited technical know-how, VR sickness and limited premium content.

planer boards
Haven't used Yellow Birds in years, Off Shore work much better and easier but about 3 times the price. I used Stren Gold 12 lb., tied to about 2ft. of 10lb. spider wire for leader line to cranks. Gold makes it easy to see line in water. I have heavy action rods for the planner boards with heavier duty reels. Straight lining works well with open face reels and medium action rods. Usually run 5 rods, 3 straight lines and 2 planners, that keeps my partner busy. (11 year old grandson) Far from an expert but we've have learned the drill.
Borneo Fish,
You can use spinning gear, but it is not optimal. I wouldn't hesitate to tell you you can try trolling as you indicated, before buying long trolling rods and reels. You may have to de-twist your line after a long day with lots of action, but that is better than spending the money first before knowing if its a route you want to take.
I occasionally use a spinning rod with a planer board without issue. Just make sure the line clips you have work with the line on your reel. When learning, I hooked up new Off-shores on to 12lb Powerpro, and the line slipped right through the clips. The packaged clips that come on boards are (or were) normally tensioned for 12lb mono....at least they were when I bought my gear a few years back. Can't be sure today, haven't bought one for a while...
Yes you can use mini boards with a spinning setup. Medium action rod and 10 lb mono would be ideal.
I'm looking to do some trolling this year it will be my 1st time. Can I just use mini planer boards and a spinning rod? I want to make sure I like it 1st before I put alot of money into new trolling rods and planer boards. Any info would be great.
Thanks, I assume you use mono then from the braid to the lure. What length do you typically use for the leader?
That would work for the walleye, but wouldn't that be a little light for salmon. Don't know if I can get by with the same rig for both Michigan and Bago?
tough to beat 10lb trilene XT for performance and value
Looking to run the off shore planner boards and wanted to know what line to use, mono or braid. Looking to use the same boards and rods for walleye up in bago.
I finally got out the copper lines yesterday and gave Off Shore's new SST Pro Mag Planer a test. I ran 300' 45# copper with Brad's cut plug and a Big Al flasher and it handled it much better than the standard size in-line board. Bonus was it took a 20# Lake Trout and it didn't bury the board.

SAN FRANCISCO � As baseball players and a former San Francisco Giants trainer traipsed into the Barry Bonds perjury trial yesterday, it became increasingly clear it would not be a good day for the national pastime. But it was not a particularly bad day for the former Giants superstar.
A day after the soap opera testimony of Bonds� former mistress, Kimberly Bell, the federal jury heard from Major League Baseball�s brotherhood.
Current and former players such as ex-Oakland Athletics All-Star Jason Giambi were forced to acknowledge their own steroid use under oath and reveal the matter-of-fact reality of their sport�s steroids era. Jason Giambi, now a Colorado Rockies player, his brother, Jeremy, and former Giant Marvin Benard all admitted they received performance-enhancing drugs from Bonds� former personal trainer, Greg Anderson, including the same designer steroids prosecutors allege that Bonds secured from his childhood friend.
But those witnesses scarcely mentioned Bonds and conveyed no direct knowledge of his steroid use; and the trial judge, Susan Illston, warned jurors they could only consider the testimony to evaluate how Anderson dealt steroids to athletes, not whether the conduct of other baseball players in using steroids from the trainer demonstrates in any way that Bonds likewise used steroids.
Bonds did not appear particularly uneasy as his fellow ballplayers testified. Indeed, during one break, he patted Jason Giambi on the shoulder as he walked by, evidence of a friendship they formed when they were the Bay Area�s premier players.
Former Giants trainer Stan Conte tarnished Bonds a bit more than the ballplayers, recounting a discussion in October 2003, shortly after the federal raids on the BALCO lab, when the slugger came into his office to decry the investigation and the government�s treatment of Anderson.
Conte, who also testified about the physical changes he witnessed in Bonds, said he had a discussion about steroids in baseball with the Giants outfielder, but did not say Bonds talked about steroid use himself.
�He said it was unfair what the government was doing to Greg Anderson,� Conte recalled.
Bonds is on trial in San Francisco federal court, facing four charges of perjury and one count of obstructing justice for allegedly lying to a federal grand jury in December 2003 about using steroids as he chased baseball�s home run records.
Prosecutors are trying to show that Bonds knew the substances he was securing from Anderson were steroids and put other ballplayers on the witness stand to recount their relationships with the trainer, which were all relatively similar � they would consult with him, and he would ship packages with steroids from BALCO, such as �the cream� and the �clear,� that would elude detection in drug testing.
Benard is expected to finish testifying today and be followed by former ballplayer Randy Velarde. Prosecutors have a number of technical witnesses scheduled to follow, as well as Arthur Ting, Bonds� former orthopedic surgeon, and Kathy Hoskins, his former personal shopper.
Benard, Bonds� teammate from 1998-03, said Anderson got him on a steroids regimen. But he never saw Bonds or any other Giants use the same drugs in the locker room.
Jason Giambi recalled meeting Anderson in late 2002, when he was traveling with Bonds to Japan for an exhibition series.
�I was picking Greg�s brain to ask him what kind of training he was doing,� Giambi recalled, referring to Bonds. �He was an incredible player, and I was just trying to continue my baseball career.�
Giambi and Anderson then worked together when they returned to the United States, with the then-New York Yankee receiving packages with newfangled steroids, syringes and doping calendars from the trainer.
At the time, Giambi had been on the cover of Sports Illustrated in his Yankees� uniform, dubbed the �King of Swing.� He admitted he�d been using another steroid before he met Anderson, but the trainer told him he would get �tripped� with that drug when baseball started testing in the spring of 2003. Jeremy Giambi, who played for four different teams, including the A�s, likewise said Anderson told him he could supply him with �undetectable steroids,� which turned out to be BALCO�s cream and the clear.

, that would be your financial path through the month that maximizes your Average ["Bank balance" minus "Expenses"]. Any other path, (I show three of infinite possible ones) where you pay all or part of the credit card bill earlier than the due date, would give a lower value of the Average ["Bank balance" minus "Expenses"], meaning lower interest income and lesser liquidity.
, except everything is upside down, so all the values are negative instead of positive, because we are now subtracting "Bank balance" from "Expenses" instead of the other way around as in the previous plot. The paths are also the same as before, but upside down. Path 4 remains the best path, but now (being negative) it has the minimum average = –$2,700.
. But if you compare the two illustrations, you will see that all the different paths remain the same, except that they are all upside down in the second figure, and therefore the best financial path now corresponds to the lowest (or most negative) value of the Average ["Expenses" minus "Bank balance"]. It is important to realize that this is simply a different way of saying the same thing (just as "increasing your wealth" is the same as "decreasing your poverty"); therefore, it does not alter the choice of the best financial path, except that it now corresponds to minimizing what we will now give this specific name: Financial Action = Average ["Expenses" minus "Bank balance"].
Thus, the optimal financial trajectory for most of us involves minimizing this financial action. But with credit cards and loans, we have found ways to bypass this rule, which is as fundamental in finance as its analog is in nature (as we see next), and if we are too reckless in bypassing this rule, in the long run it can get us into serious trouble—such as foreclosures or bankruptcies!
Now to understand how this "action minimization" principle works out in nature, we need to identify what is nature's equivalent of money. That's simple—it's energy! Just as good financial practice suggests that we should be thrifty with our money, nature is thrifty in its usage of energy, and it so happens that this energy-thriftiness of nature determines all the dynamical laws of the universe as regards to how things move and change in time.
Figure 4.3 In position 1, the ball has the maximum potential energy due to its height, and it expends that into kinetic energy as it rolls down the slope.
. If all conditions remain exactly the same, we can be certain that every time a ball is fired off, it will follow the same trajectory (the solid dark line) from the muzzle at point A to its landing at point B. That certainty is the basis for the entire field of ballistics and for projectile-based weapons in warfare. Yet there are infinite possible paths connecting those two points, A and B (some of which are shown with dotted lines). So why does the cannonball always choose that one particular path? What is so special about it? It is easy to answer that now: along that path the "action" has the minimum value! Every other path would lead to a higher value of the action as defined above, just as was the case with our financial example. So this is how the principle of least action plays out: At each point along the trajectory, take the kinetic energy (expenses) and potential energy (bank-balance), find their difference, and average that over all the points on the path; the true path is the path that gives the smallest value for that average.
. Yet even without delving into that next level of "Why?" we already have something extremely powerful in the principle of action minimization because it gives us a simple guiding principle for finding the correct dynamical laws about how things move and evolve in time in the universe—physicists use it all the time; really, we would be lost without it.
Nature's demands for minimum action translate to something we can all relate to in our "natural" predispositions: Reduce the kinetic energy (cut back on necessary motion) and increase potential energy (store up energy) as much as possible over time, because just like in nature, we humans have a natural tendency to minimize action all the time. In fact, we absolutely love minimizing action, like sitting on a couch with a bag of chips—our kinetic energy is as small as possible (we are not moving!), and the bag of chips we are munching on is increasing our potential energy in the form of stored, unused fat in the body. The other denizens of this world take this action minimization principle even more seriously; most animals don't move around much unless they have to (a lion sleeps and rests most of the day), and when they move at all, it is mostly because they are compelled to increase their potential energy in the form of food. So couch potatoes among us can't be held at fault, they are just following one of the most fundamental laws of the universe: action needs to be minimized! Lying on the couch with beer and snacks, remote in hand, leads to a minimum action on our part, and that is exactly what the universe demands.
when we talked about the second law of thermodynamics), the system will eventually settle into the minimum possible energy. On the other hand, if we allow some of the energy to be transformed into heat, it will still try to cut down on all its potential energy to maximize the loss into heat. In either case, the upshot is that nature usually gravitates to states of lower energy.
Minimize energy, minimize action! Ah, what a justification for laziness! We humans are lazy by nature, and it turns out that so is nature. Most of us probably would not be doing much with our time and our lives without some external incentive and a fear of the consequences of not doing anything. We would just hang out in our ground state of sleeping and lounging around watching television or hanging out with friends in some pleasant surroundings. We even have a name for the ground state—we call it "vacation," and that is what we look forward to for the rest of the year. If we had a choice, life would be just one endless vacation—a lifetime in the ground state.
. But for now, just from the point of view of minimizing energy, it makes absolute sense why we thirst for a good stable relationship or a marriage with abundant mutual attraction, where two people just get along and never waste an ounce of energy in arguing, fighting, or domestic violence. No one likes to remain single forever, because single people have to invest a lot of energy and effort in trying to find dates and someone to be with, someone to hang out with—that is too much action and too much energy wasted. So people get married and try to settle into stable relationships to minimize action and energy. And if we were to go by the confidential and resigned testimony of many married men, it seems marriage significantly minimizes the "action" in the bedroom as well!
Believe it or not, it so turns out that the universe is not only lazy but also seems to be in a tremendous hurry, conveniently providing a natural justification for the endemic impatience of our species. It is not a joke—there really is a principle of least time. Among other things, it explains why light bends when moving from one transparent medium (like air) into another transparent medium (like water). Refraction, as it is called, is the reason why things under water always appear to be closer to the surface than they really are; ask anyone who's gone spear fishing. It is also why a drinking straw in a glass of water looks like it is bent at the surface. It happens because light follows the path that takes the least time, and since light travels slower in water than in air, it turns out that the shortest time of travel between two points—from under water, where the object is, to above water, where the eyes are—is not along the shortest path distance-wise, which would be the straight line joining the points. Instead, it is along an appropriately bent path, as shown in . An analogy will help. You are hunched over a map trying to figure out your route for a road trip. If you are trying to minimize your travel time, you would certainly take the beltway or the bypass around a large city rather than taking the direct shorter route straight through the city because you know it is not just the distance, it is also about how fast you are moving—so the most direct and straight path is not always the path of least time. These days, GPS and online maps give us the choice of what we want to minimize in our trip—time of travel, distance, or tolls—and they might all correspond to very different routes. In the case of propagation of light, the choice is to minimize the time of travel. Just like in a road trip, the path that minimizes the time of travel of light—from a point within water to a point outside—is not the straight-line path of shortest distance. That actual (bent) path can be found mathematically by considering the different velocities of light in air and water.
Strictly speaking, the action is "optimum," allowing certain other possibilities than an absolute minimum, but that is a technical detail we will leave for physics textbooks.
Some folks are very physically active during their vacations—well, even in nature there are occasionally strange scenarios where action is maximized rather than minimized.

BOSTON - The lawyer for Chelmsford resident Roland Van Liew will appear before the state Appeals Court today to argue a lower judge incorrectly dismissed her client's lawsuit against former Chelmsford Selectman Jon Kurland and town employee Patrica Dzuris over Van Liew's recall-petitioning activities six years ago.
In her appeal brief, attorney Patricia B. Garry argues that Middlesex Superior Court Judge Laurence Pierce was wrong in his March 2015 decision when he dismissed Van Liew's lawsuit against Kurland and Dzuris.
Van Liew filed his 2014 civilrights lawsuit as the founder of the pro-recall group "Cheating Chelmsford," in which he claimed he was blocked in his unsuccessful 2011 campaign to recall four selectmen: Kurland, George Dixon, Matt Hanson and Pat Wojtas.
Dzuris, an assistant to the Chelmsford town manager, was sued because she sent an email to 30 people on Kurland's list suggesting a letter-writing campaign opposing the recall campaign. Pierce dismissed the lawsuit after Kurland's attorneys, Phil Nyman and Kathleen O'Hagan, filed a successful motion to dismiss under the anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) statute, which dismisses lawsuits that are only intended to censor or intimidate.
In her brief, Garry says Pierce incorrectly ruled that emails sent out by Kurland and Dzuris were part of protected petitioning activity noting a 1983 case where the state's highest court ruled that a person has the constitutional right to solicit signatures in support of ballot access in the common area of a large, private shopping center.
Garry argues the emails went beyond protected activity by seeking to coerce store owners to remove the signature collectors from private property and that Van Liew seeks damages.
Nyman responded in his brief that the "expression of opposing views on matters of public concern and communications directed to members of the electorate in relation to a recall campaign are protected petitioning activities."
There was no error or abuse by Pierce and no damages suffered by Van Liew., Nyman wrote. And he turned the tables and requested the Appeals Court order Van Liew to pay the attorney's fees for Kurland and Dzuris under the AntiSLAPP statute.
In the 2014 lawsuit, Van Liew alleges that beginning in April 2011, he had 14 days to collect and turn an additional 2,400 signatures - 10 percent of the registered voters in town - to trigger a recall vote. Van Liew pushed for the recall - spending an estimated $90,000 - accusing the four selectmen of corruption, failing to act in the best interest of residents, and neglecting to enforce a 1978 preservation restriction he claims prohibited construction of an office building at 9 North Road.
It was that project that triggered a five-year war of words between Van Liew and former Chelmsford Selectman Philip Eliopoulos, whose father, a real-estate developer, bought the land and built an office building at 9 North Road.
After Van Liew sent out dozens of scathing emails and mailings accusing Eliopoulos, an attorney, of unethical and illegal behavior, a Lowell Superior Court on March 19 sided with Eliopoulos with a $2.9 million damages verdict, which continues to add interest while the appeal is pending.
Van Liew alleges the actions of some anti-recall supporters were part of a "scheme of harassment organized, orchestrated, created, participate in and set into motion by Jon Kurland and others which interfered with (Van Liew's) right to solicit signatures ..."
Pierce wrote in his decision that Kurland's email to 30 people encouraging them to "discourage" Van Liew's canvassers was "protected petitioning" by Kurland and that Van Liew showed no other "substantial basis" for his lawsuit.
The same lawsuit named Catherine and Albert Dubinsky as defendants for allegedly blocking Van Liew's canvassers from getting signatures on a recall petition at the Williamsburg Condominium complex where they live.
Van Liew claims the Dubinskys "screamed, yelled and berated" the canvassers and threatened to have them arrested because they were violating a no-solicitation policy of the condo association. Van Liew claimed the Dubinskys participated in a "scheme of harassment" to interfere with the recall petition Pierce denied a motion by the Dubinskys to dismiss the lawsuit, but that lawsuit was eventually settled and dismissed.

I've been working on Clue #2 of Kevin's Mystery Quilt Along. This is my very first Mystery quilt. Of course, I didn't do it the usual way, nope, I had to do it the hard way, and work on THREE different versions at the same time. Kevin released the final info on this clue, so, I'm w-a-y behind now.
|2 scrappy versions of Clue #2
|controlled version of Clue #2
See the blocks in the top picture. Oops! They aren't supposed to be stitched all together. They are supposed to look like the ones in the bottom picture (2 sets of 3 strips, not sets of 6 strips). I wasn't paying attention, and stitched 2 full sets of the scrappy version together. Guess who has been un-stitching??? I still have some of the larger strip sets to sew together. Kevin warned us that this Clue had the most sewing to do, and, he was correct.
A man came to my booth at Lyon's Farm and asked if I wanted some machines. He just wanted to get rid of them. Well, he called me on Friday morning, and I went over and picked up 3 machines. Not sure when I'll get a chance to clean them up (you can see the dirt on one in the pictures below).
|Kenmore 148.292 (1960-61)
|Kenmore 158.1355080 (1991?)
|Kenmore 158.19460 (1976)
Hubby and I had a very busy day on Saturday. Hubby wanted to go garage sale shopping. We did find a couple of things. My mother wanted a sewing machine that was light weight, and simple to use. The light weight part rules out most of my vintage machines (they start at 25 lbs without a base added). We found a pretty new Kenmore in a bag, that has only been used a few times, and is lightweight. (Sorry, I forgot to take pictures). I'll have to check it out, to make sure it works, then mom will have her machine.
We also found a pack & play that had only been used 4 times. With a new grandbaby on the way, we wanted something for the baby to sleep in when it came to visit us. It has a changing table and a musical mobile, too. The 'baby' is just a stuffed elf I have.
|set up for an newborn
|diaper changing area
While we were out running errands on Saturday, we also stopped and picked me up a new cell phone. Mine would have been 5 years old at Thanksgiving, and was so old that many apps wouldn't load on it, and it wasn't working properly. I don't upgrade unless I have to, since I really don't like learning new technology. I'm doing really well with this new phone. The only problem I've found so far, is that my old phone had a 'quilted cover' on it, but, this one is such a new version, that they haven't come up with any 'quilted' patterns for cases. Yes, I know that I could have uploaded a picture, and they could have printed it on the case, but, I'm already learning enough new technology, so, I opted for a case online. Hopefully it will arrive this week.
Yesterday, when I was backing out, at the grocery store parking lot, this caught my eye. I just had to take a picture of it (and laugh). It must be October and Halloween time.
|passenger in the car next to mine
Last night was my little quilt guild, Wego Quiltin'. Since we are a tiny guild, we don't have speakers come in, but, we take turns (volunteer) to do different demo's for the group. I did the demo last night. I found this Christmas Ornament last year. It was sew simple to make, and the ladies loved it. It took me longer to figure out what fabrics to use, and to cut the fabrics than it took to stitch up some samples.
Here are the two that I finished. I have lots more to stitch up. I made kits for everyone in the guild, so that they could make one at home.
|same fabrics, turned different directions
I'm headed out to pick up a friend, and we are going to the Quilts of Valor sew-in this morning. We both will be sewing binding on finished quilts.

That familiar rumble resonating through the clouds above can only signal one object. A creature familiar to modern travels and children's imagination: an airplane.
The invention that continues to defy physics and beliefs of those in its presence is the one mechanical device that allows humans to go from place to place on the wings of a metal bird. The specimen of a plane takes all of the senses to a maximum; you may first hear the plane in the sky above, only to look to the heavens to see the magnificence of its size and grandeur, to conclude with the smell of jet fuel burning through your nostrils in abundant amounts. The one true sense truthfully denied is that of touch.
Although we may not be able to touch a plane in its greatest scenes, there is a place where you can come so close to this immaculate contradiction you can go along for each ride right next to an enormous commercial plane. At Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, this place is called Founder's Plaza. Founder's Plaza is located on the north end of the airport and, "spans an area of 6 acres," (of the monstrous 22,000 acre span of the entire airport itself) (Founder's Plaza). The park includes an observation area, picnic area, telescopes, aviation history deck, and (most interestingly) a radio expressing the broadcast tower commands of the entire airport (Founder's Plaza). This park allows the most intimate, interactive experience for people ranging from aviation fans to curious children. The location of the Plaza on the airport grounds are what allow for such an exhilarating experience; being on the north end of the runways, you are given the privilege of being at virtually the closest viewing point of planes landing or taking off right above your head.
The magic of flying in a plane has come to be a redundant, uneventful circumstance for most adults it seems. The beauty and awe of witnessing a plane muster the strength to pull up its heavy wings and give all faith to the wind is a less storied matter though. Founder's Plaza holds a history all to it's own. Originally being opened to the public in 1995, the park was first located on the south end of the airport (but was moved in order to allow the continuance of taxiway construction). Every aspect of its construction is dedicated to the magnetism of aviation, the most symbolic being the monument standing in accordance with the structure of an airplane and the airport itself.
It is considered the," premiere aviation viewing area," in the region of north Texas due to its tedious affection in detail of all things aerial (Capps). Over its lifetime, the Plaza has been put to use for the dedication of historical events; such as the use of its grounds in 2001 on the day after the tragic events of September 11. The memorial presented at the Plaza that day commemorated the loss of those in the event of mourning, allowing those who gave their lives in the same planes that Founder's Plaza is dedicated to showcase in their glory a chance to be remembered in beauty and not pain. The Plaza is not only a historical showcase but an imaginative one as well.
Founder's Plaza has come to hold a good reputation in the idea of spreading knowledge through experience. The proponents that compose the park are all directed toward allowing the visitor to feel and understand what they are viewing. The distance from the runway that the planes take flight from and land on is close enough so as the person viewing can feel the rush of exhaust coming from the plane overhead, but the tower radio broadcasting the control commands right next to the observation deck adds real time motion to the planes power. You are allowed into the detailed, highly important factor of planes: who controls them. As you see a plane approaching the taxiway, you can follow the instructions of conversation between the pilot and the tower commands all the way through the take off. The crackle and rustling of those in a tower far away, commanding hundreds of planes at a time through the maze of air traffic and allowing those on the plane to have a safe and comfortable landing. As you listen and follow the planes in the clouds reach and scrape the ground with a screech, the Plaza has telescopes for the use of getting a more optically sound look at the workings on the landing deck as well. Next to the telescopes, placed sporadically amongst the grassy hill below the deck, are the statues of children frolicking with winds amongst the jets themselves. The statues themselves represent the many dreams of those who visit the park; to fly and soar at the heights of manmade birds.
To visit Founder's Plaza at the enormous DFW International Airport is an experience all its own.
278, 372. That is the number of flights viewed from the Plaza in the time span of a year. The park is open from the early morning until after the sunset. Over 200,000 planes taking off or landing in a year; each one of them carrying lovers, friends, and strangers on the highway in the sky, with each take off you can let your dreams fly from your heart into the heavens and with each landing you can bring home a hopeful intention. A place of history, knowledge, imagination, and dreams: Founder's Plaza.

Is it time to potty train?
2 comments:
hmmm... what does she do when she has a dirty (pooped-in) diaper? fyi - hint for night-time training which i realize may be a little time away. however, we bought several waterproof mats. we would put a waterproof mat and a fitted sheet, then another waterproof mat & another fitted sheet over the other first ones. that way when she pees on the bed in the middle of the night, you just have to strip the first sheet and waterproof mat (make sure you get the bigger size ones) off and you don't have to make the bed again because you already have the other mat & sheet on. it saves a lot of time in the middle of the night. we just threw the soiled sheets/mat in the dirty laundry for the next day.ReplyDelete
She comes to us and tugs on the diaper when it is dirty (poopy). Great tip on the sheet thing! We will totally do that! The problem is that she doesn't like the pull ups or underwear (she despises the pull ups tries to yank them off as soon as I put them on). She would rather walk around with NOTHING on.ReplyDelete

The party was hired in Neverwinter by a dwarven merchant named Gundren Rockseeker to escort a caravan to the small mining town of Phandelin. On the trail they found the corpses of the horses which Gundren Rockseeker and his hired body guard Sildar Hallwinter were riding.
After the party fought of an ambush by goblins who remained at the site, they tracked the creatures back to their layer. The party cleared out the caves which the goblins and found Sildar Hallwinter. After questioning a few of the remaining goblins the party discovered that they had sent Gundren Rockseeker to a goblin fortress called Craigmaw Hold. The goblins were asked to capture Gundren by someone called The Black Spider though the goblins didn't know anything more than the name.

Remarked versions of Intel's Pentium M mobile processors are circulating in China, but the problem is not widespread, the chip maker said Tuesday.
The remarked Pentium M processors were distributed to computer makers as engineering samples and were not intended to be sold to end users, said Jennifer Liu, an Intel spokeswoman in Beijing. The number of remarked chips is relatively small and the problem is not widespread, Liu said.
Remarking is a process whereby a processor is relabeled and passed off as a chip with better performance and a greater value. The problem of remarking is not new, although it has become less common in recent years as chip makers have introduced measures designed to prevent remarking.
In response to the appearance of the remarked chips in China, Intel has sent a reminder to hardware makers to remind them that sample chips provided to them are not intended for resale, Liu said.
Liu advised end users worried about buying systems based on a remarked chip to purchase computers only from reputable dealers, such as members of Intel's Genuine Intel Dealer (GID) program. GID members are easily identifiable by certificates issued by Intel, she said, noting that these certificates are prominently displayed in authorized shops.

text: A good news ! They gave me a new coffee maker. How exciting ! Well, as I wrote about a coffee maker which got out of order all of a sudden at the end of the last month. Since the shop clerk told me it won't come back till the beginning of the new year, I thought it was ridiculous and finally I called up the customer service center at the coffee maker company. I explained the situation that it was not the first time that the coffee maker went dead in a year and the man over the phone was simply told me that it was their fault and that they could send out a new one right away. That 's the way ! The new one arrived just after Christmas. Thanks to our new coffee maker, I am free from staring coffee dripping through a paper filter each time. Now I know we can't really do without it. ( I should have written about it much sooner, but it seems that I've missed it.)

Start in the village of Sella.
The tour starts at our family-run guest house in the beautiful village of Sella, perched a thousand feet up on the slopes of the Aitana peak and under the shelter of the dramatic Puig Campana, with wonderful views and often beautiful sunsets over this fabulous mountain. Those travelling on the group flights will be met at Alicante Airport and transferred to Sella.
Penya Roc Walk: We make our way to Barranc de l'Arc and walk through El Salt down to the Barranc de Sanchet.
We make our way to Barranc de l'Arc, where we access the spectacular limestone peaks and needles of Penya Roc and walk through El Salt down to the Barranc de Sanchet. This area enchants people with its soaring towers and walls of rock all around. Early sunset lights will catch the spine of the jagged Castellets Ridge that stretches down to Orxeta. On the way to Sella we discover beautiful 'huertas', green orchards with citrus plantations, vegetable gardens and ancient irrigation channels. Duration of walk: 8 hours
Climb Puig Campana, the highest peak in the region (1410m).
Today we summit of Puig Campana (1,410m) which offers 360º panoramic views! Almost all of the peaks and ridges that we will traverse during the week may be seen, whilst on the other side, the Mediterranean stretches to the horizon. We approach the north face of this mountain along good trails and paths, embarking on a gentle climb to the Collao Pouet, the actual base of the mountain. From here, we climb along an old trail on the north face of this spectacular peak, returning to our vehicle by the La Carrasca, over the Castellets Ridge. A short transfer takes us from Font del Arc back to Sella. Duration of walk: 8 1/2 hours
Spectacular walk to Benimantell, passing along the dramatic Simas Limestone Fissures; option to scale Aitana Peak.
From Sella, we drive to Ort de Tudons (1020m) the highest road in the province, where we take the northern track past the miltary base towards Font del Abre and Font de Forata. We scramble through a narrow gap in the rocks called Pass de la Rabossa onto the south face of the mountain. We have lunch at the Simas Limestone Fissures, impressive crevasses extending up to 90m deep, situated on a ridge near the summit of Aitana. It is an impressive geological formation and a perfect picnic spot. Weather permitting, it's possible to climb to the summit (optional). We can then descent along the ridge with the best views of Altea bay. We move to our second accommodation today, a family-run pension in the little village of Benimantell, half way up the Gualdalest Valley on the north face of the Aitana Massiff. Our luggage is transported for us by vehicle.
Free day to explore Guadaleste or take an optional day trip to the coast.
A free day to relax or explore the lovely village of Guadalest, or the less known Benimantell and enjoy the best local cuisine at Ca Rafel restaurant. Alternatively, visit the chocolate factories in Villajoyosa or head to the quiet beach near Altea where there are handcraft shops and art galleries (transfers not included).
Sierra de Xorta: Walk up Penya Alta for fantastic views over Guadalest Valley.
From Benimantell we drive to Guadalest water dam and climb on a track to Portet de Castells. From here, we make our way up Penyo Gelat and Penya Alta (1,219m), where we are rewarded with breathtaking views of the horseshoe-shaped Guadalest Valley. We then descend along the northern slope of Morro Blau via the 'Correuero' (or postmans route), passing beneath the ruins of the region's most ancient Moorish defensive point, known as Castellet, en route.The day ends by walking through avocado and citrus orchards to reach the village of Bolulla, from where we join the short transfer (approx. 35mins) back to Benimantell. Duration of walk: 7½ hours
Climb Serrella Peak for vistas of the Aitana Range; descend via a spectacular gorge to Beniarda; visit a local olive oil factory.
After a short transfer to Abdet, we begin by ascending to Pico Serrella (1,323m) and follow the western spine of Serrella to Mallada del Llop (1,361m). We usually stop for a picnic lunch here to take in the sweeping views of the Aitana Range, and even the Valencia Mountains on a clear day. After lunch we descend the spectacular and remote Barranc de la Canal Gorge with its two parallel fins of upturned limestone strata leading to an abandoned farmhouse at Penyeta de la Hedra. During the last stretch we enjoy pleasant views of terraced olive groves and centenary carob trees, which lead us to the village of Beniardá. In Beniardá there's time to visit the local olive oil factory, a small scale outfit producing award-winning olive oils. Afterwards we can either walk or be transferred back to our accommodation in Benimantell. Duration of walk: 8½ hours
End Benimantell.
The tour ends in Benimantell today. Those travelling on the group flights will be transferred back to Alicante Airport for your flights back to London. If you have not booked flights through Exodus but wish to join the group transfer please request this in advance of travel.

The use of plastic in Bangladesh increased 80 times in past 28 years, claimed a green group, Save the Environment Movement (POBA), on Saturday.
Quoting one of its recent survey POBA mentioned that use of plastics has rose to 12 lakh metric tons in 2018 comparing to just 15 thousand metric tons in 1990.
The statistics were shared at a seminar on polythene and plastic use that POBA organized to mark the Earth Day- 2018.
The speakers at the seminar claimed the regular use of plastic products is causing serious harms to the soil, water, health, ecology, flora and fauna as well as affecting the food chain. Though Bangladesh has a law prohibiting the use of plastic bags still there is no regulation on production and managing of other plastic products, which choke environment.
Dr. Ahmed Kamruzzaman Majumdar, the Head of Environment Science Department of Stamford University of Bangladesh, read out the main article at the seminar.
He mentioned that micro plastic particle microbeads are being used in soap, facial creams, toothpastes, detergents and other toiletries and those are being spread to the environment.
He said as the particles are very minute, they can enter in fish through their foods, and thus it goes in human body which may even cause cancer.
The speakers said, last year at least five trillion plastic bags were used all over the world and only 10 percent of those were recycled while the rest were thrown to the environment.
They mentioned that every year eight million metric ton of plastic get deposited in the oceans.
The members of the group urged the government to popularize the use of jute products instead of plastic, realizing the polythene prohibition act, regulating the plastic products by forming strict law, encouraging recycle systems and creating mass awareness for proper plastic management.
The seminar was chaired by Abu Nasr Khan, the president of the organisation.
Every year, Earth Day is observed on April 22 and this year the slogan of the day is 'End Plastic Pollution'.

This organization was christened "Zions Cooperative Mercantile Institution" and although ZCMI was itself never a true cooperative, it spawned a region wide system of local cooperatives owned and operated by the people. Sales totaled over $1.25 million the first year. The store sold a wide variety of goods including clothing, wagons, machinery, sewing machines and carpets -- all available to member cooperatives at the same price as in Salt Lake City. ZCMI served as an outlet for the products produced by the Saints themselves as well as "states" goods.
Opening in 1870 the "Big Boot," as the shoe factory was often called, soon manufactured 83,000 pairs of boots and shoes yearly. Two years after the opening of the shoe factory, ZCMI began production of its own line of work clothes in a new clothing factory, soon to be famous for its "Mountaineer" overalls.
In 1876 many of the several departments were consolidated under a single roof. The impressive three-story brick-and-iron facade of ZCMI stretched long down Salt Lake City's Main Street. A wing added in 1880 doubled the square footage of this landmark in Salt Lake's business district.
ZCMI met the twentieth century with the same ideals that had always identified its business. The philosophy -- that individual fortunes and private profits should be subservient to the good of the community -- would continue throughout the company's history. Growth became the new byword. In 1961 ZCMI moved to the suburbs with large modern branch stores at the Cottonwood, Valley Fair and University Malls, as well as in Ogden and Logan. ZCMI's 120-year history has seen the store change from a provincial cooperative to a publicly owned and widely respected shareholder entity. Although ZCMI is a publicly owned company with upwards of 1,400 stockholders, its ties to the Mormon Church are still strong. In 1988 the Mormon Church owned 51 percent of ZCMI's stock.

I have been a patient of Dr. Richard Holub for over ten years. As a person in my seventies, I've known my fair share of doctors! Dr. Holub is distinct in many important ways.
In addition to being an exceptional medical practitioner, Dr. Holub is a scientist and scholar who has conducted over 100 research studies and clinical trials. Thus, Dr. Holub not only contributes to the overall medical knowledge base but his treatment protocols are informed by contemporary research outcomes. This is highly unusual for practicing physicians and adds immeasurably to the unique expertise Dr. Holub brings to his patients.
Despite his experience and superb reputation. Dr. Holub is modest and totally unselfish with his time. His demeanor is delightful yet his kindness in no way clouds his very serious analysis of medical issues.
I trust Dr. Holub implicitly; our community is indeed fortunate to have this extraordinary doctor as a resource. Michael H.

Since we have one channel that plays stupid shows most nights we have been watching movie
rentals from the library nightly.
Last night we watched this very funny cute movie about the history of the number 1. Its called The Story of 1 it was presented by Terry Jones (ex Monty Python). It was humorous and educational all in one. Most educational shows tend to end up being funny, but not on purpose. This one was a PBS home video. Here is a link to my favorite site. I learned how to write 9 in binary number system. 1001. That's nine. Isn't that cool!? This is how they showed it below in little egg holders. Imagine the numers are the egg holders and the # is the open place in the holder. The number places stand for different number and you have to add those together.
# # # # # #
32 16 8 4 2 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 = 63
0 1 0 0 0 0 = 16 ... I think.. haha. OK well Thats enough of that.
I tried to look it up on wikipedia.. and it confused me. BUT you can check it out if you like.
I watched the movie Enemy at the Gates. It stars Jude law, Ed Harris, and Rachel Weisz. It was a great movie showing what was happening in Russia during WWII. The nazis were in Stalingrad and if they took that city it would mean the fall of Russia. Law plays a character who is based on a real man. The story in the movie is mostly fiction but he was a snipper who may have had a battle with a German snipper (played by Ed Harris). It was great, I never knew the importance of the Russians during WWII. History is so biased.
This movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was sad to watch. I dont think its based on an actual true story but it too was based during WWII. It was about a German family who moved out of the city to a house near a concentration camp that the army Commandant father was in charge of. The mother is aware that the camp exists but is very unaware of what happens there. The young son 8 mets a boy in "striped pajamas" who lives on the other side of the fence. They become friends but soon learn they shouldn't talk to eachother. The boy also finds it unfair that the boy in the fence gets to "play" with all those people when he has no friends. Its so sad to see how innocent this boy was to what was happening around him. Their is a Jewish prisoner who works at the house doing odd jobs and peeling potatoes. The little boy fell off his swin and hurt his leg. The man carried him inside and fixed him up. Telling the boy he used to "practice medicine" as a Dr. To which the boy replied well you must not have been very good if you had to practice and that must be why he is here peeling potatoes now and not being a Dr. Because he wasnt that good anyways. I recomend it. Its a very touching story and its sad but real.
We also watched An Inconvenient Truth. I think it clearly shows how global warming not only is possible and real but how we as humans have changed the earth and its "natural" cycle. I actually felt bad for Al Gore in parts! Who knew I could feel like that. I usually find him annoying and boring. This has been a passion of his since he was in college. I think its amazing that he is still speaking about it after so many years. I am glad he has not given up on his mission. Thanks Al, keep up the good work.
We have also watched many other history movies and documenteries from everything on The American Revolution (16 disc CD set) to the Zulu Wars. A battle against the British where they lost even when they were supposed to be so awesome. They did some research to show how the Zulu men were at the advantage from the start. AND there was a solar eclipse the day of the fight too! Crazy.
I think Roman likes movie night too.

Lurking under a headline worthy of The Times's new tabloid format is a damning indictment of Tony Blair's failure to manage Britain's relationship with America. According to Dr. Kendall Mayers, a UK specialist at the State Department, Blair's relationship with George Bush has been "a one sided relationship that was entered into with open eyes… there was nothing. There was no payback, no sense of reciprocity".
Herein lies the root of much of the failure of Western policy in the Middle East. I have been and remain a staunch defender of the Atlantic Alliance and Britain's "special relationship" with the United States. I am unashamed to call myself an friend of America. Yet the current Administration has treated the British Government with utter contempt. While I do not doubt the sincerity of Labour ministers when they say that they have always made strong representations to the American Government in private, it is clear that these have been brushed aside in a naïve display of hubris.
The catalogue of missed opportunities is long. Between 9/11 and the Iraq War, Britain pressed the US to take a holistic approach to the Middle East; no settlement could be achieved if the Israel/Palestine tragedy was not resolved. Yet the Bush administration has steered clear of this knottiest of problems, leaving it as a festering wound enraging Muslim opinion.
Only a few days ago Jeremy Greenstock, formerly Britain's chief diplomat in Iraq, reiterated the claim that Britain urged the US-run Coalition Provisional Authority not to disband the Iraqi army. The Americans ignored this advice, sacked three hundred thousand of troops and started aggressively de-Baathifying the country. The newly jobless and disaffected quickly mounted an insurgency that only later took on an Islamist dimension.
The UK has repeatedly urged the US to close the Al Queda recruiting office at Guantanamo Bay. And the US ignored Britain's suggestion that they engage with Iran in 2004; two years later we will go to Tehran cap-in-hand.
This is a tragedy. When asked on his death-bed what his greatest mistake was, President Eisenhower famously stated that he should have supported Britain over the Suez War. Despite the illegality of this conflict, the Anglo-French debacle gave a fillip to Arab nationalism that led directly to the Baathist takeover in Iraq and so to this second, equally ill-starred conflict. I do not tell this story to justify either that war on this one. Rather, I wonder whether President Bush will also one day come to rue ignoring British advice and treating his closest ally as a client state.
Having said all this, I do not share Dr. Mayers pessimism that the "special relationship" is doomed. However, a re-evaluation is due. Both Britain and America must learn that friends and allies serve one another best when being honest and tough with one another. There are many truths that friends do not wish to hear, but a real friend does not sit quietly by and bury his fears because he does not want to upset his friend with an uncomfortable truth. Rather, he tells it how he sees it, sticks to his guns (or ploughshares) and challenges his friend to prove his fears ungrounded. This is not what the Blair government has done, nor what the Bush administration has encouraged. But this is what the future must entail.
Britain must be a true friend to the United States. To be this, we must be a friend that says the truth.

The chooks are settling in well. They've taken to the new feed, enjoyed scratching in the dirt, and eating the long grass that has gone to seed. They're not use to perching on the roost at night yet, however. One has started sleeping on the table, so perhaps they'll get the hang of that eventually, too.
As for the eggs, we've been given between one and two each day. Fortunately we're being given free eggs from friends who have 4 chooks and no appetite for eggs (apparently)!
Until next time.

Chook watch - update!
4 comments:
Nice to read your update. They look very pleased with their new home.ReplyDelete
Good fun chook-gazing isn't it ;-)
All looking good.ReplyDelete
You have curtains? In your chook pen? Mad! I love the house they have and am rather jealous as mine is still a pile of 50x100 mm posts cut to various lengths. Chooks are great to have around the yard - you will love having them...ReplyDelete
Mine won't roost on the perches I built for them either! They won't even sleep inside, but prefer sleeping in the trees in their run. That's fine, they're safe and all, but I wish I'd known before I went to all the effort of building their house!ReplyDelete

Woe is the life of the suburban black kid. He's always put in the position of being too "white" for the black mainstream, and too "black" to fully assimilate into white mainstream culture. Sure, suburban black kids have survived to create wonderful music (Pharrell is the best example of this), but unfortunately, it seems that they will never be considered a true "hip-hop" artist.
Which brings us to the predicament of K-OS. Recently dissed at a SummerJam concert by fellow Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall, for lacking the aforementioned "street cred," the artist found himself in a bind. Does he try to be more "hip-hop," to get the respect of the streets, or does he venture into the "pop" territory to get more critical acclaim and notoriety.
On his third album, Atlantis, K-OS chose the latter. Although his previous efforts, although eccentric, had a basis in hip-hop, the artist goes even more left field. If you're a "true hip-hop" fan then this may be a hard pill to swallow. Said "true hip-hop" fans are already grieving over Andre 3000's trek into pop territory, one listen to this album might send them into cardiac arrest.
For the rest of us though, a listen to Atlantis will reveal a decent, if not brilliant album. The production is heavy on 80's claps and 50's R&B in addition to the familiar dub reggae and acoustic elements are staples in any K-OS production. Tracks like "Mirror in the Sky," "Sunday Morning," and "Flypaper," mixes these sounds like a smorgasbord, producing something along the lines of, "danceable pop." On one level, most of these tracks are borderline corny, but after awhile they get into your head and make you want to jump on the table and do the Carlton dance. Is that bad?
However, contrary to popular belief, K-OS does rap on this album, albeit on three songs. On the first single, "The Seekwill," K-OS's rhymes are again….corny. However, on "Aqua City Boy,"" the dude throws down some bars and even bigs up his supposed arch nemesis Kardinal. It's enough to show that the he can spit, but probably not enough to satisfy the haters.
The standout track on this song is definitely "Highway 7," a soulful acoustic track that has already made some peoples top 10 lists. Think Wyclef at the end of The Score and you have the idea from this track.
The verdict: Fans of K-OS's previous work might be in for a disappointment, as Atlantis doesn't even come close to Exit or Joyful Rebellion (If you're a new listener, I strongly suggest you pick up these two albums first). And after a few listens, the tracks get old real quick. However, K-OS is a talented and versatile performer, and Atlantis shows that he's going to do is own thing whether you like it or not.

We've been busy!
The looks of dog comfort
The way to judge the comfort level of a dog is by seeing their face literally melt away.
Laying on Dad and getting belly rubs brings that melt factor to an all time high.
Getting to know you (Part 3)
Finally the last chapter in introducing our pups to the world. This one is a little more special to me. Buddy is not only my baby boy, he is my life saver.
I was first introduced to Buddy by a former person in my life. This person had bought him from a family that owned a local business and their dog had puppies. They got Buddy so they could have a friend, only this person had zero experience with a dog, never less a puppy. Within a few days I got a phone call asking if I would take him. They couldn't handle all the work involved with a puppy. I said no right away. I was living in a small townhouse with three cats and I didn't like pit bulls at that time. I wasn't afraid of them, I was just unfamiliar and thought it was too much to take on. But when I saw his sweet tiny face I couldn't say no.
Sunny Saturday
R.I.P Fluffy Beaver
With having 3 dogs home alone all day, we choose to kennel the two boys during the day. Devo has been known in the past to mark things when left out all day and Buddy seems to get into more trouble than good when left out. We leave Bella out during the day because she is typically very well-behaved and does have some mild kennel anxiety. We let them all out to play when we get home, with our own little system, and rotate which of the boys stays out at night.
So to my surprise when arriving home from work last night, I was greeted by two wagging, happy faces. Both Buddy and Bella were hanging out. I knew that could only mean one thing…. a big mess for me to clean. See, Buddy and Bella are BFF. They love to hang out and play. They can literally play together for hours, but usually in the end a toy gets destroyed. So I began my house inspection. Great, puddle of pee by the back door. They're all housebroken, but for some reason if Buddy is left out all day he'll take a little pee break. Then I walk into the living room to see the real fun.

Japanese Cult Game 'Yume Nikki' Released on Steam, Sequel Teased
For those fans of the cult Japanese adventure game Yume Nikki, things have gotten interesting. For starters, the game appeared earlier this week on Steam as a free download after years of a fan translation floating around the interwebs (and a brower version after that in July 2016). The new Steam version lists its developer as Kikiyama, and publisher as AGM Playism, a Japan-based distributor focused on localizing and publishing indie games.
Secondly, and more importantly, a countdown timer has appeared on a Japanese site with Twitter and Facebook links. The site's title reads "Yume Nikki – Dream Diary – . Will be released soon." The site lists Kikiyama as the copyright holder, and below that, Kadokawa Corporation. Kadokawa Corporation is a Japanese company which owns several companies across a variety of mediums, including Dark Souls devs FromSoftware.
It's safe to say that the countdown is leading up to the announcment of the new game, or even its release. We'll find out in a couple of weeks, it seems.
Initially released in 2004, the RPG Maker-created adventure game Yume Nikki earned its cult classic status over the last 14 years from its popularization on the Japanese forum 2channel. In the game, players explore the dreams of a hikikomori (a Japanese word for reclusive individuals or "loners") named Madotsuki. Traveling through her dreams, the player encounters moments of surrealistic horror imagery.
