The initial idea was a game where it just felt good to sculpt the landscape with your fingers and where huge numbers of creatures flocked and interacted in a way that was fun to watch. Beyond that we didn't know where it was going but we were pretty sure it wasn't going to become a standard FPS or farming simulator. We had ideas about the goal of the game being just to keep things balanced.
After a few months this was kind of working. Even though there was literally nothing to do beyond stroking the landscape into various shapes and watching the animals slide down the steep slopes into the sea it got positive reactions wherever we showed it. The problem was that everyone who saw it seemed to imagine a different final game.
Some wanted a Populous clone, others seemed to want something where you just clicked on animals (this didn't sound much like a game to me at the time but I gather it's how a lot of 'casual' games work these days), others insisted that it just had to be a freemium game, that we could milk users by selling consumable IAP. This last suggestion scared me the most.
Some have accused me of being anti-freemium because I'm somehow idealistic but it's not that. Or maybe it is. I have a simple philosophy when working on a game, a philosophy which is almost certainly directly related to the fact I'm working on my own on a game I find hard to explain to other people. Basically, I can't work on a game I don't like. Well I can, and have done for too many of the years I have worked in this industry but those were the most boring and also the least productive years. If it's not a game that I want to play then it's not a game I want to work on. I can't imagine wanting to play a game that's basically been programmed to milk me for money so it's looking very unlikely that Topia will be one of those.
If that's what it isn't, what is it?
That is a very good question. Right now I have to admit that Topia is still not really a game. This isn't because we don't have a very long list of things to try, it's because it's actually a pretty huge project for a single programmer. If I look at the amount and quality of code I've written for this thing it could well be the most productive nine months of my career.
So where does it stand right now?
- The graphics engine is doing its job very efficiently, even on older devices, running at an 'arcade game' frame rate.
- The multi-touch UI works really well, the line-drawn herd directing controls are simple to use despite being, to my knowledge, the first game to take line-draw controls into 3D. If it isn't the first to do it in 3D it is definitely the first to wrap that type of control onto a lumpy planet.
- The landscape sculpting feels better than I dared hope. I've been wanting to write a new landscape sculpting system ever since we ended up reusing Populous's isometric block system in Populous II.
- The in built level editor is half finished. Levels are built from fractals (kind of like Minecraft) but with a fair amount of user control over the fractal generation.
- The animal simulation is pretty advanced. Several thousand moving creatures and several thousand static objects can interact with each other, herds form and scatter when predators attack, some eat the grass (which slowly grows back) and explore the planet. There is still a lot to do, breeding and a fully working food chain are going in very soon.
But where is the gameplay?
This is the big question. More info on this coming very very soon...

Anavar is a versatile mild anabolic steroid that fitness enthusiasts look forward to for improving their physique and help them in their workouts. As this anabolic steroid is mild in nature, it does not have dangerous side effects like other anabolic steroids. Additionally, this drug can help you with muscle production and weight loss. If you want improved muscle size and definition minus puffy and bulky muscles then certainly this drug would help you. Searle Laboratories created this drug for treating conditions like rapid weight loss and conditions like muscle wasting. Additionally, this steroid is one of the safest anabolic steroids for both the sexes.
This steroid is in high demand especially among the female bodybuilders but men too use this steroid who wish to get ripped and gain thin muscle mass. There are countries where Anavar is legal but in a nation like Canada, it is illegal to sell this drug. In Canada and in the UK all anabolic steroids are considered as Schedule IV drug. The laws prevalent in these nations prohibit users to obtain the drugs branded under Schedule I to IV. The Canadian laws regarding anabolic steroids have been deliberately made flexible for facilitating free judgment of its officials.
Different dosage levels of this steroid
As it is clear that this steroid is excessively mild in nature so it must be stacked with other powerful anabolic steroids during various cycles. The need for a much stronger anabolic steroid is very much there. The dosage recommended for the beginners for the purpose of performance enhancement is between 15mg and 25mg daily. Nowadays with more information and knowledge, the starting doses have been recommended a bit higher than this. Now, beginners can start their doses in the series of 30-50mg daily. AIDS patients can take this drug in ranges of 20-80mg each day for reversing the problem of muscle wasting.
This steroid has 3 times more strength than testosterone so a beginner can manage to gain a considerable amount of gains from this range. The dose of this steroid for intermediate users is 50-80mg each day. Advanced users very often take higher than this dosage level. The uppermost level for the advanced users is 80-100mg every day. Additionally, do remember that users need not always use anabolic steroids in higher doses. As this steroid is primarily taken with other compounds so the dosages of this steroid always remain at the higher level and doses of other steroids used along with this compound remain low.
Buying this compound legally
Canada is not among the countries where Anavar is legal so in order to purchase this steroid from Canada, you have to discover a vendor who can sell this product to you legally. While doing do you will be buying the product of the highest quality as legal sellers do not hide their operations. Moreover, these legal sellers are most probably linked with pharmaceutical laboratories instead of clandestine ones. Also, keep this in mind that Canadian drug law states it is illegal to buy anabolic steroids when you do not explain to your supplier the intention of your buying the steroids.

The Doha patient is still in a coma. Surgical intervention is not in sight yet. But the complementary psychoanalysis at least has started….
With the risk of being accused of promoting only one institution's reasearch, may I just draw the reader's attention to a brand new paper by Peter Kleen, Senior Fellow for ECIPE and former head of the Swedish National Board of Trade. In the last months he has been comparing the Uruguay Round with the Doha Round, and trying to extract what their main differences and similarities are, in order to help find out what it is that blocs Doha. The results are summarized in his "So Alike and Yet So Different: A Comparison Between the Uruguay Round and the Doha Round." The paper reveals many things – developing country coalitions have become more fluid and defensive, business support is not strong because of continued de facto globalization, FTAs and global growth, NGOs play a bigger role. But the Doha Round itself is a not as bold and innovative as the Uruguay Round, which created a new institution and brought in agriculture, services and TRIPs. I very much liked this idea:
"The Uruguay Round introduced into the world trading rules comprehensive frameworks in trade in services and intellectual property. In the Doha Round, however, the only truly new issues [.i.e. three "Singapore issues" – investment, competition, transparency in government procurement"] were eventually dropped.
By scaling down the Doha agenda, the focus on the market access issues in the goods area has increased. A success depends on breaking the "iron triangle"—getting the European Union (EU) to move on agricultural tariffs, the United States (US) on domestic agricultural support and the major developing countries on industrial tariffs. The complicating factors are that further reductions of support and tariffs are politically highly sensitive for many developed and developing countries and there are extremely limited possible trade-offs with concessions in other negotiating areas. Hence the present stalemate."

The warmers you kneed.
There are plenty of cycling sleeves out there, but Louis Garneau's Wind Pro Knee Warmers are a little more advanced than most. They're made from Light Wind Pro fabric, which cuts the wind to reduce heat loss, and lined with Therma Soft 180, a warm and moisture-wicking material that helps your legs stay warm even when the mercury is dropping towards freezing.
LG gave the Wind Pro an anatomic cut to support your muscles and constructed it using flatlock seams to reduce irritation when you're pumping over long distances. Gladiator Grip at the hem keeps the sleeve in place without the irritation caused by traditional silicone, and the Wind Pro also has integrated UPF 50 sun protection to save your skin from harmful rays.

Since we are already enjoying the daily bed weather, Pork Nilaga will surely make our comfort food list. It's warm, tasty and very easy to make! Do you know that the Filipino word Nilaga literally translates to boiled? That's basically how you cook this Filipino dish – you simply put all the ingredients in a pot, set it to a boil and enjoy a warm pork soup after. You can even multi-task (or sleep) while cooking!
As for the ingredients, the ones that we've included are the most basic ones. We even ran out of regular potatoes so we used marble potatoes instead. The result though, is similar! Other ingredients such as banana and corn also tastes good in this. Try this pork-based soup and let us know what you think! 🙂
Nilagang Baboy (Pork Nilaga)
- 1/2 kg Pork Meat, sliced into cubes
- 1/2 Cabbage, chopped
- 1/4 kg Potatoes Marbles, washed
- 1 pc Pork Broth Cube
- 1 medium-sized Onion, peeled and chopped
- Salt and Pepper
- In a pot over medium heat, put 6 cups of water, the pork and onion. Boil for about 10 mins. Cover the pot and simmer for 30 mins or until the pork is tender.
- Add the pork broth cube then add the potato marbles. Cook for another 5 mins.
- Add the cabbage. Cook for 2 more mins.
- Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl, serve warm and enjoy!

What should be done with that garbage barge? After a fruitless search down and up the Atlantic Coast and across the Gulf of Mexico for a place to unload 3,100 tons of non-toxic waste, the scow has returned, in desperation. New York ought to resolve the immediate problem by promptly finding room for the waste in one of its dumps.
But there's a larger problem, and all states and localities ought to recognize the homeless scow as a floating Paul Revere. It has sounded an alarm about an imminent threat to American life posed by the vast tonnage of waste the nation produces. It dare not be forgotten.
The cargo of waste on this specific barge is about one-seventh of that produced every day by New York City alone. Having been inspected for toxicity by the city's Health Commissioner and found safe, it could easily be unloaded at Fresh Kills, the city's remaining active dump, with the clear understanding that this responsible act sets no precedent for the future.
In return for New York's acceptance of the waste, the state ought to move vigorously to designate other suitable sites for the post-incineration residues of the waste that will continue to be produced by the localities of the region. The scow's saga makes clear every community's need for comprehensive plans for disposing of solid waste. These plans properly would include recovering usable resources from the mass of waste, to the extent that is feasible, and reducing the remaining volume 80 percent or more by high-temperature incineration.
Such programs require that citizens be willing to put the long-range future before present convenience. Land that might support housing, recreation or industry is needed to store waste. Waste sites require costly preparation, an investment paid for by current residents in order to protect groundwater and soil for future generations.
Few political leaders leap to meet such a challenge. No one loves a waste dump. Communities feel stigmatized when it is expected that they will take in waste generated by another place. Some critics stand ready to proclaim, accurately or not, that incineration or other programs to reduce waste volume will produce noxious byproducts.Continue reading the main story
The politics of waste disposal, in other words, offers big risks and few immediate rewards. That is the hardest kind of politics. History, however, will surely judge it to be the highest.Continue reading the main story

In this episode we have some initial reactions to the skirmish deployment cards from Heart of the Empire. We start with Imperial cards, then move to Mercenary cards, and finally discuss Rebel cards.
Some small corrections for things I misspoke about in the episode:
- I say Vader with Driven by Hatred is 12 points but he's actually 13 ( 18 point base -5 on the attachment).
- I was talking about using a command card I called Tools for the Job with Han but actually meant Smuggled Supplies.
- We totally read J4X-7 wrong: it give pierce to enemy figures it's adjacent to. Will mention in next episode.
For feedback you can find us on Twitter @IANewOrders or on the FFG Forums for Imperial Assault.
Thanks for listening and we'll be back soon to talk about the new Command Cards!

Issued 19 July 2015
Bob McDavitt's ideas for sailing around the South Pacific.
Disclaimer: Weather is a mix of pattern and chaos; these ideas are from the patterned world.
Late autumn in New Zealand saw rain return to west coast of South Island after a very dry period. This can be seen in the daily storage of the NZ hydro dams at http://www.electricityinfo.co.nz/comitFta/ftaPage.hydrology
In The Atmosphere:
The Southern Oscillation Index SOI sums up the weather pattern over the South Pacific in one number and is based on the standardized difference in the barometer readings between Tahiti and Darwin (30 day running mean). The weekly update was lower than -10 for four weeks in May, enough to start a moderate El Nino episode. The value relaxed during June had dived rapidly during July, reaching -20 last week, as seen at http://www.farmonlineweather.com.au/climate/indicator_enso.jsp?c=soi&p=weekly .
El Nino's impact: During an El Nino episode, weather patterns tend to be drawn closer to the equator. The South Pacific Convergence zone tends to be tugged north and east of its normal position and there tend to be more troughs over Tahiti. The subtropical ridge in the southern hemisphere tends to be north of its normal position and this weakens the trade winds overall, but doesn't stop the squash zones that can be found on the north side of the migratory HIGHS.
During El Nino years, tropical cyclones in the South pacific enter middle latitudes anywhere between the Australian coast and about 150°W and typically weaken quickly as they move away to the south-east, due to strong winds aloft.
I am NOT aware of any association between SOI and an early onset to the southern hemisphere cyclone season. And cyclone RAQUEL over Solomon Islands earlier this month was a "one-off" so there is no reason that I know of for sailors to speed up their visiting plans across the South Pacific,
Out west, HALOLA is now a tropical depression and heading for Japan .
East of Hawaii the remains of ENRIQUE are fading Further east, near the Mexican west coast, DOLORES is travelling north The weekly rain maps over the past two weeks show the intense rainfall from tropical cyclones. There also seems to have been an increase in intensity in the convection across Tuvalu and Tokelau.
Weekly rain signatures are at http://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov/trmm_rain/Events/big_global_accumlation.gif
SPCZ=South Pacific Convergence zone.
SPCZ this week is expected to stretch from south of Solomon Islands to Tuvalu to Tokelau to Northern Cooks. A small convergence zone (on the north side of a Southern Ocean Low) is expected to travel eastwards (upper westerly winds) and cross the Palmerston Island on Tuesday/Wednesday UTC (local Monday/Tuesday).
STR= Sub-tropical Ridge
STR is along 40S in Tasman Sea and 30S in the SE Pacific, but is having a disjointed week in-between.
A cold HIGH is moving slowly across the Tasman Sea and expected to cross NZ on Thu Fri UTC.
There should be a squash zone of enhanced SE winds on the north side of this Tasman sea HIGH, affecting Minerva to Coral sea around mid-week.
The weekend low is now east of NZ and moving off to the eats, but on Monday one more cold front is expected to skirt the east coast bringing a southerly gale (and alpine snow) until Wednesday morning (mainly Wellington to Gisborne).
For the remainder of the week the incoming High brings light winds and frosty nights.
This is the same low /cold High combo which brought snow to parts of Queensland late last week.
Travelling Westward from French Polynesia:
A good week for going west, but be aware of the strong SE winds expected over Tonga from Wed 22 to Sun 26 local.
Departing from Australia to the tropics this week:
The squash zone on north side of that Tasman High makes Brisbane to Noumea very difficult for first part of the coming week. A trough is expected to travel east across the eastern seaboard on Thursday and then local Friday may be Ok for a departure.
Departing from Northern NZ going north.
A departure on Monday is likely to encounter strong tail winds at first. A departure after Wednesday may encounter NE head winds by Friday.

Govt. should provide institutional support to grass root innovators: Prez
| Updated: Aug 03, 2016 00:06 IST
New Delhi, Aug. 2 (ANI): President Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday said the government should provide institutional support to grass root innovators, adding that their efforts will not be appreciated if necessary linkages between the relevant stakeholders are not established. "The Government should provide institutional support to the grass root innovators. Their efforts will not be appreciated if necessary linkages between the relevant stakeholders are not established. The 'Festival of Innovations' which is organized by Rashtrapati Bhavan in collaboration with National Innovation Foundation has helped to bring together creative energy from different domains," President Mukherjee said while receiving a copy of book 'Grassroots Innovation' authored by Professor Anil K. Gupta of IIM Ahmedabad who is also the Vice Chairman of the National Innovation Foundation at Rashtrapati Bhavan. Speaking on the occasion, the President congratulated Professor Gupta and said that he was deeply appreciative of his efforts and painstaking work about the innate creativity and innovative potential of the people. He stated that Gupta's book was about stories of extraordinary men and women who are silently contributing in the innovation movement for the economic development and advancement of society. The President conveyed his best wishes to Gupta and his dedicated team to continue their march in adding value to the ideas and innovations of communities at grassroots level. Among the dignitaries present on the occasion were Professor Ashutosh Sharma, Secretary, Department of Science and Technology and Dr. R. A. Mashelkar, Chairperson of the National Innovation Foundation. (ANI)

Is Prince Johnson Standard Bearer Of NUDP?
Julius Kanubah, FPA Legislative Affairs Writer (+2316586240)
The Presidential fate of Nimba County Senator and former rebel leader Prince Johnson has been plunged into doubt with yet a defiant statement from his hand-picked running mate, Grand Cape Mount County Senator Abel Momolu Massaley of the National Patriotic Party (NPP).
Senator Johnson (Independent) had in January 2010 declared his Presidential bid after angrily listening to President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf announcing her decision to contest for re-election in this year's (October/November 2011) crucial Presidential election.
In declaring his surprise Presidential ambition, Prince Johnson stood tall enough to label himself as the 'most formidable candidate' to unseat the incumbent who had told Legislators and the public in her 5th annual message that she would not just be a candidate in the 2011 Presidential election but a 'formidable candidate'.
In the process, he put forth Grand Cape Mount County Senator Abel Massaley who is considered a seasoned Liberian Legislator and Foreign Policy specialist of the Senate as his running mate.
Though Senator Massaley confirmed his decision to run with Senator Johnson, there have been reports that the pair may split as the date for the Presidential election draws closer. Reports have even suggested that Senator Johnson is considering dropping Senator Massaley from his ticket because their relations have soured.
Prince Johnson himself has not spoken to this issue but Senator Massaley has now admitted that the fate of Senator Johnson's Presidential bid is in doubt like his.
According to him, the virtue that Senator Johnson declared his intention to contest on the ticket of the recently registered political party- National Union for Democratic Progress (NUDP) means his Presidential fate is in doubt as the NUDP has not held its convention to determine its flag-bearers.
"Let me tell you something today, the National Union for Democratic Progress- Prince Johnson and myself are not incorporators of that party. We were only called upon to provide political guidance. My friend Emmanuel Lomax is the Chairman of that party. So, Prince Johnson and myself are not executive members of that party.
Commenting whether he remains a running-mate to Senator Johnson, Senator Massaley said "it is the convention that will determine that…the convention could take me to be the standard bearer or it could maintain him".
Senator Massaley then plunged the Presidential bid of the erstwhile Independent National Patriotic Front (INPFL) rebel commander into indecisiveness when he declared "until we can go to convention, Senator Johnson himself fate is uncertain….what I'm saying, until Convention endorses you, as it is the highest decision making body, it is that convention that must endorse you as its standard bearer, vice standard bearer, Senator, Representative candidates then before you can say yes, my fate is certain".
Asked whether he wants to be a running-mate to the former insurgent commandant, Senator Massaley- an entrenched supporter of ex-President and war crimes indictee Charles Taylor, he questioned "why will you jump the gun? Let's wait until we reach the point we are about to drive to. It's not for me to determine as to whether or not I will remain running mate to Senator Prince Johnson or Senator Johnson to determine he will remain standard bearer. It's the party that will make that decision".
Despite throwing the Presidential bid of the Nimba County Senator into ambiguity, Senator Massaley declared "Prince Johnson and myself are political godfathers to the NUDP leadership and they will determine who becomes the standard bearer and vice standard bearer".
Senator Massaley could be right in his declaration as he is yet to resign his long-time membership with the former ruling National Patriotic Party (NPP) that now has Senator Jewel Howard-
a divorced wife of war crime indictee and the first flag-bearer of the NPP as its standard bearer. The NPP is not expected to challenge for the Presidency but its standard bearer is presumed to be a running-mate of the National Democratic Coalition's Dew Mason who is now leader of the New Deal Movement. Taylor-
Senator Johnson and the NUDP leadership are thought to be pressurizing Senator Massaley to resign his membership with his beloved NPP before he is considered for any position in the NUDP which he must openly endorse.
Once Senator Massaley meets such requirement, the NUDP will be satisfied that he has given it a huge boost in terms of political capital with a slap in the face of the National Patriotic Party. But can Senator do such and stab the NPP in the back? The answer is a probability as the stakes are high for political power in
with cross-carpeting of politicians and lack of trust in most political leaders. Liberia
With Months running slowly but yet remarkably to the 2011 Presidential election, the hurdles in the NUDP still need to be cleared as either Senator Prince Johnson or Senator Abel Massaley could be dropped or the pair could thrash out their differences to form a combine ticket to take on the incumbent- Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf in a crowded political field for the Liberian Presidency.

Between long hours of work and temps in the 90s, Laddie and I had little opportunity to train this last week. But we made up for it on the weekend.
On Saturday (yesterday), we participated at club training day. I got to lead the advanced group, and we ran two setups. They were intended for dogs training for Master, but some of the blinds may have been a bit harder than typical Master blinds.
The first series was a walk-up land triple, with the second two marks 180 degrees apart and thrown into high cover. The setup had three blinds available: (1) 40y into cover, to the right of the rightmost mark, (2) 160y on a line between the center mark and the mark on the right, with an angle entry into high conver at the end, and (3) a difficult 110y blind with the line across a corner of high cover on the left, then under the arc of the leftmost mark, then diagonally across a mowed strip with an angle entry into high cover on the right.
The second series was a water triple. The first mark, in the center, was on a line past a point on the right, then past a point on the left, then to the vicinity in the water of a third point. The throw was supposed to be in reeds, but neither the original thrower, nor I when I relieved him, managed to put a single bird into the reeds, we always overthrew. After that mark was thrown, the second bird splashed down between the near shoreline and reeds 20y from the start line, an unusual competition fall worth giving the dogs some experience with. Finally, the go-bird was a cheaty mark on the left with a sharp angle entry.
The water series had two available blinds. One was to the right of the cheaty go-bird, so still a bit cheaty. The longer blind was the most difficult blind of the day; one of the trainers said it was more like an all-age blind than a Master or Qual blind. The start line was on the same shore as the one for the triple, but some distance to the side. The line was between the same two points as the long first mark of the triple, then thru the area of that fall (that is, past another point on the right), then up onto a fourth point, and finally another ten yards inland. So the blind featured several chances to lose the dog on either side of the narrow corridor.
After yesterday's work, Laddie and I got home after 6pm, and this morning we were back on the road before 5am. Arriving at our group location before the other teams, I ran Laddie on a 180y blind that required him to jump over an overturned canoe at 50y, then make a difficult water entry at 140y.
When the group leader arrived, he set up a triple intended to be run as three singles and modified as appropriate for each dog. Each mark was up-the-shore at the right edge of one of the ponds, with the wind blowing LTR. Because I had another training appointment (see below), I ran Laddie on the two outer marks, shortening them and changing the angle on the last one, which featured a swim diagonally across a channel, then a re-entry to a pond for the up-the-shore throw.
After I ran Laddie on those two marks, I made my apologies and drove Laddie half an hour to a steeplechase course. There I had arranged to meet my friend Dave, who brought two ducks and two assistants. We ran two triples with the flyer at close range, Laddie as usual wearing a tab, which enabled me to prevent him from breaking. For the first triple, the flyer was thrown as the go-bird. For the second triple, the flyer was thrown second, while the go-bird was thrown 180 degrees away on the left. The center mark, thrown first from behind a tree, on a line only a few degrees to the left of the gunner with the flyer, was difficult because Laddie, naturally, was focused on the guy with the live duck. In fact, I wasn't sure Laddie had seen the first throw, so I stopped the series and requested that we start again. It turns out that at least the second time, he did watch the throw, then quickly shifted his gaze to the flyer. Maybe that's what he had done the first time as well.
After we completed our training with Dave and his friends, Laddie and I drove back to the earlier location, where they were running the last dog on the series I described above. At my request, they let me run Laddie on the last mark again.
To end the day, the group leader set up three marks, all about 200y, again to be run as singles but with all the throwers standing the entire time. They were all within a 30 degree angle, but presented three separate concepts: the first was an obvious land single run to the left of the edge of a pond. The third was an obvious water mark, run across the center of the pond. In between was a cheaty water mark, featuring a run thru high cover so that when the dog emerged, she had to choose immediately whether to take the water entry in front of her or veer off and run the bank on the left.
After our three hour drive home, I rinsed Laddie off with the hose and dried him with the power drier, and at last our weekend of work was over.

Cheap mtrfkr LOL
Part of my "airbox mod" was to use 4 short stacks, not to cut the middle ones to save $35.00! LOL Here a link if you want to either replace them with oems or get 2 short ones.
So I opened my air box and the previous owner had cut the two tall stacks to the same height as the two short ones.
Is this okay or do I need to get new stacks before riding it again?
I dont want to cause anymore damage if its not okay

I have been running with Delkevic Marthy style exhaust, PC5, cut open airbox with all short stock Velocity Stacks for about 4,000 miles now. I believe with my set-up the airbox mods and short stacks enhance top end a bit. I bought a used airbox on E-bay super cheap, so I can play with Velocity Stack set-up. I was going to try all long stacks, but my bike runs so darn strong now, I do not want to change anything.
The only downside is fairly loud intake howl at WOT.

One of my favorite ways to eat on the cheap, and on the easy is to make a curry. Using simple ingredients, along with some water or broth, you can make any size meal you want, that is filling and incredibly tasty.
My love of curries started in Thai restaurants, whose creamy, peanut buttery, coconut milky goodness was a logical next step after my regular order of Pad Thai needed a break. I have made curries over the last several years for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, adding any number of vegetables and using any number of spices. They are so easy to make kosher because there are no processed goods!
Now many think of Curry as specifically an Indian dish, but Curries are actually European and American in there origin. The term most likely comes from the Tamil Khari , meaning gravy. Most Curry Spice is orange in color because of Tumeric which is popular spice. Curry spice includes most commonly tumeric, cumin, red pepper, fenugreek, and corriander and the name refers to this mixture. Because of its wide spread nature, I figured it would be the perfect way to start off this blog, and a good pulse of what I am going to be cooking on a daily basis in my kitchen. All of my measurements are approximate, for when you start making your own curry, you can add or subtract to your tastes, and you will find whether you like Paprica or Corriander more, or if you like cinnamon added at the end of the process.
Just know, that there are many more curries to follow, along with reviews of curry pastes that can be bought in the store!
3 Cups Potatoes
1 can Garbonzo Beans
1 Onion
1 Clove Garlic
2 cups Yellow Squash
1 tbsp cumin
2 tbsp Curry
Broth, Water
1.5 tbsp flour
1 tbsp Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Oil
Sautee your Onions for two minutes in the oil, add minced garlic and sautee for 30 seconds
Add Potatoes and season with Salt and Pepper
and Cumin, combine. Sautee for 30 seconds until the cumin smells crazy good.
Add Garbonzo Beans and Curry Powder and a few tablespoons of water. Sautee for a few minutes with water boiling.
Add Squash and Soy Sauce, Mix until everything is covered.
Add Water or broth until veggies are covered.
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes until the potatoes are cooked and pierced with a fork easily.
If you want a thicker curry (my fiancee loves it that way)
Add 1/2 cup of the curry broth to a 1.5 tbsp flour. Mix well! Add back to the curry.
I like to add a nut butter to the curry, it really thickens it and gives it a great flavor
Heres to the coming year, tall ships and small ships.

Who's there ?
Curry !
Curry who ?
Curry me back home will you?

One of the (many) things I don't miss about dating is the break-up. You meet someone, let them into your life, have some fun and make some memories. Then one day you (or one of you) realize that things aren't quite working out the way you had hoped and you decide it's time to end things. I have always hated that part of a relationship. Now that I am married and have a family I thought I was done with break ups. Luckily there is no break-up as far as my marriage is concerned, but there is another relationship tha has to come to an end - the one between out family and J's speech therapist.
J has had his current ST since around the beginning of June. After receiving his PDD-NOS diagnosis, I had decided I wanted to give DIR/Floortime a chance. At the time J was only receiving ST and a SEIT once a week each. As we were approved for an increase to 3 days per week, I also requested a change in providers. We switched from more "traditional" therapists to a team trained in Floortime. We also added on an OT who also practiced Floortime. J and I quickly developed a rapport with his new teachers, and I found them to be very knowledgeable and invested in their jobs. J really seemed to like them and worked easily with them. As the summer went on and I continued to research, I made the decision to switch to an ABA based program. J started with his new SEIT, JT, at the beginning of September. His ST and OT remained the same. I definitely see value in Floortime, and I feel that J has benefited, and will continue to benefit, from it. However, my husband and I both feel that he has been missing out on actual speech therapy. His speech sessions have all been FT based, which are completely child led. A majority of the sessions involve us following him around the house and trying to get him to engage with us. While I think that there is a place for this style,of therapy, I also feel that he needs some structured speech therapy. J is still nonverbal, and I want to make sure we do all we can to help him develop language.
In the past month I have watched J thrive with the structure of his ABA sessions. I was nervous before it began, but he has impressed me with how well he has adjusted to the change is therapy styles. He is no longer trying to leave the room, and is sitting at the table for longer periods. JT has seen progress with his completion of tasks as well. While it may be slow, we are seeing progress. In an effort to try to have him get more out of his ST sessions, we have decided to switch to a more traditional speech therapist. Actually, we will be switching to one that uses the Verbal Behavior Approach, which is essentially another form of ABA. I am hoping that we can build upon the success he has already had with ABA.

Breaking up is hard to do
1 comment:
He's such a cutie!ReplyDelete
I think you are making the right decision. The previous SLP seems like a very nice person, and I'm sure Jake learned a lot from her, but it's a great idea to try a more structured session. If he's thriving in ABA, that may just be the key for him. Our sessions are very structured, Dylan sits in the highchair facing her, and she follows her program to the "T". There are days he is NOT into it, but he finishes out the session and gets it done. Good luck on Monday, let us know how it went!

2017 Mazda Mazda6 Updated
Mazda is rolling out upgrades on the Mazda6 and calling it a 2017.5 model while holding prices in line with current models of the midsize sedan. Technically, it is still a 2017 since the 2018 Mazda6 won't be introduced until later. The changes include more premium available features on the Touring trim and more standard safety features on the entry Sport model. The 2017.5 Mazda6 sedans arrive in showrooms this month.
The tweaks arrive to compete with the completely redesigned 2018 Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. These enhancements will likely help the Mazda6 better compete in its class as consumers increasingly expect cars equipped with active safety technologies.
New standard features
The base Mazda6 Sport adds standard Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert safety features. Mazda said it is adding the features as part of its commitment to boosting car and crossover safety.
The Mazda6 Touring--the sedan's mid-level trim--adds standard navigation and heated front seats. Mazda also is making leather seats available as an option on the Touring trim as part of the 2017.5 additions. To get leather, buyers will have to add the Touring Premium Package which comes with a choice of black or Parchment-colored seats and an eight-way power driver position equipped with adjustable lumbar support; the 8-way seat replaces a 6-way power adjustable one and black imitation leather seats.
Also: Get your first look at the new and redesigned cars of 2018
The 2017.5 Mazda6 Sport and Touring models come equipped with a SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine that is mated to either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. A 6-speed auto transmission comes standard in the Grand Touring models, the car's top trim level.
Sticker prices for the 2017.5 Mazda6 begin at $21,945 for a Sport manual; $22,995 for a Sport with automatic transmission; $24,195 for a manual Touring and $25,245 for the Touring trim with an automatic. Destination is $875 extra.
An available Touring package with BOSE, a moonroof and satellite runs $1,325 and the Touring Premium Package, including the leather seats, is an extra $1,425.


text: Hey guys, ultimate noob here. I've been trying to digest every possible piece of information I can on the Evo, and have been very anxious to get one on June 4th. But something I'm finding very little info or comments on is how terrible the audio quality is on video recordings. It's surprisingly very bad. The video quality is looking good, but that makes the bad audio just that much worse. I've noticed this on every sample video I've checked out on You Tube. It seems that it is slightly better on the Incredible, but still pretty sub-par. If you watch video recorded from the Motorola Droid or iPhone, you can hear what a difference it is. Is this just a HTC thing, or is it something that can be adjusted? Is anyone else noticing this?

Tilney has appointed former Schroders chief financial officer (CFO) Jonathan Asquith as a non-executive director.
Tilney chair Will Samuel described Asquith as a 'highly respected figure in the City who brings considerable experience to the board.
'He joins at a very exciting time for the business which has been going from strength to strength and is exceptionally well positioned to capitalise on the growth opportunities in the UK wealth management sector.'
Asquith, who will chair the firm's audit and risk committee, spent six years at Schroders between 2002 and 2008, where he was also vice chair.
Much of his career was at Morgan Grenfell which became part of Deutsche Bank in 1995.
His 18-year career at the bank included a perio in its Latin American department and the project finance team, and periods as head of derivatives and deputy head of treasury.
Following the establishment of Deutsche Morgan Grenfell he served as both CFO and chief operating officer.
Since leaving Schroders Asquith has held a number of non-executive roles, and is currently deputy chair of 3i Group and a non-exec director at CiCap Limited, the parent company of Coller Capital.
He was formerly chair of Citigroup Global Markets, Dexion Capital and AXA Investment Managers. He has also served as non-exec director of Ashmore Group.

Pensée Unique
neat and tidy inside
a virtuous bandwagon, loose
ends tied in a curly ribbon
of Pandora's hair, shiny,
spiral from open scissors.
Black-and-white paper
wrapped edges, holy
hospital corners, folded tight,
Scotch-taped to prevent gray
uncertainty and doubt.
Tagged with the devout
label "Whosoever", in a bevy
of name-calling and flag-waving,
they take the bait,
obliged to reciprocate
the oversimplified gift-pack,
bivouac of propaganda.

Willow, you are capturing both a mood and lots of iconic imagery here. While the title says one thing, the package addressed to "whoever" is full of well-worn phases.ReplyDelete

Love the way the words flow and sound when I read it out loud. Wonderful word work Willow.ReplyDelete
Dear Willow: Very Unique Pensee! Unlocking the recurrent imagery; deciphering the master verse, stanza by stanza is an historionic affair. Intuitively I am sensing the past; ancestry of a young girl's things in a trunk (Pandora's; trunk being possibly the religious bandwagon; a tent revival?) of old photographs, "spiral with open scissors" Cant help but think of "travels with scissors". Primpishness of the pioneer era? 2nd stanza is a Bible! 3rd stanza The famous Preacher relative of Willow fame. Reference to the Bible thus "Whosoever" as per "enter the Kingdom.. etc" considered "bivouac of propaganda" which in itself is heavy, considering "the name calling and flag waving" that goes on, after "the bait" is "take(n)". "Tagged" being The Preacher who is "devout". Am I on the correct path on this poem Willow? The personal iconography so illustrative and so amazingly considered; alway so fascinating an "unwrap". A gift of poetry! Thanks Willow!ReplyDelete
So much stays locked away in closed minds. Beautifully expressed, Willow.ReplyDelete
Very creative == barbaraReplyDelete
So good....'curly ribbon of Pandora's hair'....the images worked for me...great!ReplyDelete
Mine better have a fuzzy hat in it. :PReplyDelete
Two things that relate: I heard about a man who lived way out in the country where there wasn't town pick-up for garbage. So he wrapped it up in a gift box with decorative paper and ribbons,and someone always came driving along and picked it up! Also when I visited Elizabeth in Morocco, I went on a camel ride into the Sahara desert, over the Atlas mountains and into the night. We ended up at a bivouac, which was a circle of Berber tents, complete with carpets on the ceilings, cushioned sofas, tea in glass cups and great food.ReplyDelete

Stray thoughts don't stay neat and tidy for long..else how would we explore all the grey? Thanks for "unlocking" my mind!!ReplyDelete
Very clever, willow.ReplyDelete
Three cheers for open mindedness, my friends, on this gray, gray day! I hope my own messy thoughts stay far, far away from the tidy box.ReplyDelete
Pretty interesting ... the image of propaganda in a campground. Conjures up a lot!ReplyDelete
Yes, there's lots of layers of gift wrap to this one. Hope you all enjoy peeling back each one.ReplyDelete
i am speechless!ReplyDelete
Yes,sadly, the "virtuous bandwagon" does seem to approve of bivouacs. But we can remember what Pandora left in her box, right? And trust that that remains unlocked?ReplyDelete
Great poem, with much to ponder...thank you.
Absolutely right on. Great writing. Such a neat little package to entice the innocents with the propaganda.ReplyDelete
"the virtuous bandwagon".... brilliant! :)ReplyDelete
Oh, splendid, Willow!ReplyDelete

Many mysteries here Willow in this wonderful poem of yours. Only you have the key to complete understanding. I've enjoyed picking the lock of interpretation, playing with the combination of clues. Intriguing, and very creative.Very much enjoyed your "Pensee Unique".ReplyDelete
With each read I swear I will not lose breath nor concentration encountering 'holy hospital corners,' but it catches me every time.ReplyDelete
Willow, Your work surprises me. You have so many different types of written product. You are a writer. Yes, you are. This poem is well constructed. Your use of language helped draw this reader in...pandora, virtuous bandwagon, sctotch tape, devout... Well done!ReplyDelete
(I'm blocked for Magpie this week...in case you go looking...):)

Not a good day for me to read this!ReplyDelete

If you know me at all, you will know that I am an absolute tan-aholic. I am naturally very pale (see-though!) so it is a rare occurrence that you'll see me without tan. I am a creature of habit when it comes to my tan and I am very loyal to certain brands. I have tried the majority of tans on the market and because I am so fair alot of them tend to look completely over the top on me. I have found three products that I absolutely love, that never let me down and that I always have in my collection. So if you are a lady with fairer skin, these would be the products I would recommend for you.
Cocoa Brown 1hr Tan
If there is ever a time where I don't have a bottle of this in my collection, there is something very wrong. This is my holy grail tan and I could never be without it. You can leave it on for one hour like it says on the bottle, or if you want a more intense shade you can leave it on over night to develop. It gives a gorgeous golden glow, that doesn't look orange, muddy or green. It is the most natural tan that I have ever found. It is a moose formula that is slightly tinted so you can see where you're putting it- so no dodgy streaks! When you shower it off, just let the water wash it away- I don't use any shower gels or body washes. With this there is no "fake tan smell" it has a gorgeous scent but it doesn't really linger so if you're not a fan of it you don't need to worry about it. I really can't recommend this tan enough, for the price you can't go wrong so go out and give it a go!
Wow Brown Ready to Glo Dark Tanning Liquid
This is a more recent addition to my tanning routine. This is what I use when I want to look intense dark but not unnatural looking. This is a tinted liquid so like the Cocoa Brown you can see where you are putting it which avoids any mishaps! A little goes a long way with this tan which I love. This gives a gorgeous deep glow with a slight red undertone on me, so it really does look like you've gotten a natural tan in the sun. This can last up to 7 days on me if I look after it properly, and when it does start to come off it always fades instead of coming off in patches. It has a lovely, light scent too it. I love when tans avoid the traditional biscuit scent. If you are looking for a tan for a night out or if you just like a darker everyday tan, this is your go-to! I really love this tan and again it is one that I wouldn't be without now!
Cocoa Brown Gentle Bronze
This is what I use for maintaining my tan. A couple of days after applying my main tan, I will pop this on at night just for a bit of a top up. I use this all over my body and my face, because of the formula of the moisturiser it will not clog your pores so it is safe to use on the face. This has the same scent as the 1hr tan which is quite pleasant. This is a nice top up mid way through the week just to add a little bit more colour and to even things out if the tan underneath starts to fade. If I wanted a very natural colour I would just use this on its own for a few nights to build up a colour. It leaves my skin feeling lovely and moisturised too. If you don't like an overly intense colour, give this a go! It's nice because you can build it up to the colour you want and it moisturises your skin at the same time- win, win!
So those are my top 3 picks at the moments for tanning. I couldn't live without them and they are complete essentials in different ways. I recommend you give these a go, and let me know how you get on!

No Itch, No Flakes, No Worries.Selsun blue shampoo is specially formulated to control the scaling, flaking and itching of the scalp associated with dandruff. Selsun blue formulated with Selenium Sulfide 1% not only attacks the root source of the dandruff, but laboratory tests have also shown that Selenium Sulfide is one of the most effective ingredient to treat dandruff and control recurrence.
Received this Shampoo from EKMEDIA. Previously, i was using Essential.
Was quite happy with the product. I myself do not have dandruff. But my dad's did. So i bet his quite happy that i take on this adventorial and he could solve his dandruff issue.
Before passing to him, i tried it myself.
Probably, it's not suitable for my hair now as i just coloured it. After usage, it was quite dry for me.
well, so i got my dad to try this. Gradually, it did help his scalp peeling problems. He's hair doesn't smell as oily as before. Dandruff still visible but under control already. It's about a week+ usage. he's dandruff problem was really bad. He kept scratching his head due to irritation and his back are all the white dandruff. OMG. super harmful for his scalp. But now, he don't scratch as much, he mention.
The downside of the shampoo is that, it kinda dry his hair a little compared to other shampoo and it smells like sulphur. To him, he was quite okay with this shampoo because it helps his scalp problem! where most shampoo doesnt seems to work for him. Dandruff is one issue, irritation is big issue where he cant stand the most.
I would say, it's a recommendable shampoo for people who has really bad dandruff problems. For people who has really long hair, i would suggest you to use moisturiser at the end of your hair after shampooing with Selsun. But do not apply moisturiser on the inner root of your hair, it will clog your pores in the scalp and cause more irritation, hair loss and increases the risk of getting oily hair and smelly hair.
Hair loss has a close relation with scalp problem.
You need to protect and keep your scalp healthy, so your hair can stay rooted to your head/scalp longer. Breakage of hair, not because of colouring or perming or rebonding, it's because your hair parts are not moisturise and hydrate enough to prevent dryness and it breaks. So moisturise your hair if you just had your hair dyed or chemically treated,e.g; perm, rebond, style. even it's just one time or first time, you still have to be go thru all this troublesome steps to keep it healthy and moisturise.
So for this shampoo, it has these hydrating ingredient that would cleanse your hair while protecting your scalp.
The Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Prescribed by Doctors. 99% of Users Claim Effective*.
Let's check out the ingredient in Selsun Shampoo.
Surfactant ingredients are the detergents that combine with water to loosen and remove dirt, oil and dead skin cells from your hair. All Selsun shampoo use ammonium lauryl sulfate as the main detergent ingredient. In addition, most also include milder surfactants, such as cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamide DEA, lauryl glucoside and sodium methyl cocoyl taurate.
Emulsifier ingredients give Selsun shampoo its smooth, pearly texture by preventing ingredients from separating. Selsun shampoo emulsifier ingredients include hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, magnesium aluminum silicate, glycol distearate, cocamide MEA, cetearyl alcohol and TEA lauryl sulfate.
Selsun shampoo includes ingredients such as glycerin, panthenol and aloe vera leaf juice to protect your hair from damage due to dryness. Humectant ingredients attract moisture from the air and trap it, preventing it from evaporating back into the atmosphere. Selsun Blue Naturals also contain a variety of plant and flower extracts designed to attract and add moisture to your hair.
pH Balancers
Citric acid, potassium hydroxide and sodium chloride are ingredients Selsun shampoos use to create a slightly acidic pH level. Although Selsun uses the term "ph balanced" in advertising, making the shampoo slightly acidic creates a better shampoo by smoothing the hair cuticle, allowing it to lie flat and preventing your hair from feeling rough and looking dull.
Preservative ingredients in Selsun shampoo release formaldehyde to keep it free from bacteria, fungus and yeasts and to prevent spoiling. These ingredients include DMDM hydrantoin, propylene glycol, benzyl alcohol and sodium chloride.
Other Ingredients
Menthol is an important ingredient that Selsun Blue shampoos use to soothe and cool your scalp, as well as to draw blood to the surface of your scalp, increasing circulation. Menthol also helps to moisturize skin on your scalp.
Each shampoo variety also includes a fragrance and assorted dyes such as D&C Red 33, FD&C Blue 1 and Ext Violet 2.
Each shampoo variety also includes a fragrance and assorted dyes such as D&C Red 33, FD&C Blue 1 and Ext Violet 2.
sounds good ah. So once your started using Selsun, and your dandruff problem has relieve, do not stop using. But alternate your shampoo. Our hair & skin needs a change after awhile to keep looking at it's best. They have temper too! HAHA!
Thanks for reading my very long winded post. But i believe it kind help a little for a minority of readers here. :)

Two studies show that genes that encode a chromatin-remodeling complex foster resistance to checkpoint inhibitors. One study identified the proteins by using CRISPR/Cas9 to knock out genes in mouse melanoma cells. The other study converged on the same result by identifying mutations in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma who responded to PD-1 inhibitors.

Lovegrove Design & Photography, Tiverton, Devon
I have been thinking alot about deadlines recently….everyone knows that a designer's life is ruled by timescales and deadlines but it struck me that not everyone is as used to working within a timeframe in the same way as I am. So I wondered what advice I could give to help others reach their targets.
I have worked in both an advertising agency environment and in more recent years within a design studio at a large printers. I have therefore plenty of experience of working under pressure. The switch to the printers studio was admittedly a massive shock to the system. Designs have to come quick and it's crucial to work efficiently, often juggling lots of tasks and deadlines all at the same time. The demands were intense, the deadlines tight, the hours often long and the expectations were always high.
So how do I feel about deadlines?
Well it's true that they get a bad press and can often be described like a dirty word. In reality though a deadline can be a helpful tool if used correctly. It can help you to prioritise your workflow and focus the mind on the task at hand.
A useful deadline HAS to be realistic and achievable though otherwise it can have an adverse affect on your concentration. Applying undue pressure on yourself or having that pressure imposed by others can leave the brain with the consistency of porridge, stifle your creativity entirely and send you into a spiral of panic that is unhelpful to you and more importantly your client.
So when discussing deadlines NEVER agree to something that you fear you are unable to achieve. It's counterproductive. Clients appreciate speed, they love to feel that they are your number one priority but it's always better to allow a little extra time for yourself so that you can confidently meet your deadline and always deliver one time. Agreeing to a tighter deadline may sound impressive to begin with, but if you fail to meet that promise the damage to the relationship with your client is hard to rectify.
Always take into account what I like to call…."The Screw Up Scenario", (actually I have another name for it, but that's not suitable pre watershed!). The Screw Up Scenario is all about foreseeing the unforeseeable. Take into account ALL the possible things that could affect your ability to meet your target.
1. Will the client be available when I need them to check proofs and discuss design alterations?
It's pointless to agree to a tight deadline if your client will be spending days on the golf course when you need them to approve your work and you can guarantee they are unlikely to volunteer such information, so find out. Working with a client to a deadline is a team effort and we have to make our client take a certain amount of responsibility in order to be able to meet their demands.
The same applies if you are working with subcontractors or suppliers. Find out their availability. Work with them, don't make your deadline their problem by agreeing to an unrealistic timeframe and demanding they oblige. That's not how to get people to pull out the stops for you and create a good working relationship.
2. What if the client changes their mind?
You can get all the way through the design process, get close to sign off, only to be tripped at the last hurdle because the client's wife or next door neighbour has expressed a concern over your design. So take this into account, it happens more often that you may think. Allowing some cool off time so the client can live with your design for a while and be absolutely sure they and their colleagues, neighbours, aunties and whoever are completely happy with the direction you are taking them.
The design process is a journey, with twists and turns and bumps in the road….so just like you plan a road trip, allow enough time to reach the destination safely.
Don't allow yourself to be distracted.
Organise and prioritise your deadlines, and once you have done that…stick to it. Don't take on anything on embark on any tasks that will jeopardise the likelihood of you delivering on time. You have predicted how long a project will take, taken into account client behaviour and made a judgment about the order of your workflow, so why increase your stress by allowing yourself to deviate from a well thought out strategy?
This may sometimes mean having to say no to a valued client, but with careful consideration and gentle client management, that doesn't have to be a negative thing. Be honest with your client. Give them an alternative completion date that you CAN meet. Nine times out of ten they will agree to your deadline because they like your work and trust your judgement…..why wouldn't they?, you have effectively managed your previous deadlines and never let them down.
Ok so we all know that the world isn't perfect and there will be occasions that you will have to pull out all the stops, put in the long hours and meet an immoveable deadline, but if you have effectively managed the rest of your workload then you will have the capacity to take on such a project and keep everyone happy with your performance.
Just ensure that not every deadline requires such a marathon endeavour and you will successfully educate and manage your client's expectations of what is achievable and learn to love your deadlines…..well some of them anyway

How to Use Dishwasher Salt

In this Article:Putting Dishwasher Salt in Your DishwasherChecking if Your Dishwasher Needs SaltCommunity Q&A11 References
Dishwasher salt is a specially formulated product used to soften hard water. Hard water can cause dishes to appear dirty, streaky, or filmy. In regions of the world that have especially hard water, such as the United Kingdom and much of Europe, most dishwashers come with built-in water softener units that need to be periodically filled with salt. Using dishwasher salt isn't difficult, and can help you achieve clean and sparkling dishes!
Putting Dishwasher Salt in Your Dishwasher
1Remove the bottom rack to expose the salt reservoir. Pull the bottom rack out completely and set it on your kitchen counter. You may need to lift it up slightly to unclip it from its rollers. Your reservoir will be on the bottom of the dishwasher, probably off to one side. If you don't see a reservoir, your dishwasher may not have a built-in water softener.[1]
2Unscrew the cap and check for water. Water softener units have caps that need to be tightly secured after each use. Unscrew this cap and set it to the side. If this is the first time you're using your unit, it needs to be filled with water. Pour enough in to fill it to the top of the opening.[2]
- After the first time you use it, your softener unit should always have a bit of water in it. You won't need to refill it.
3Use only dishwasher salt in your softener unit. You can find specially made dishwasher salt at grocery stores, hardware stores, or online. It doesn't matter which brand of you choose, but you cannot use table salt, sea salt, or kosher salt as a replacement for dishwasher salt. These cooking salts contain additives that might actually increase the hardness of your water. They may also be too fine, which could clog the unit.[3]
4Pour salt into the funnel until the reservoir is full. Different dishwashers will have differently sized units that take various amounts of salt, so there's no precise measurement for this process. Pour salt into the unit until it's completely filled up. Since you also have water in the unit, you're creating a saltwater brine that will refresh the chemical processes that occur in the built-in softener.[4]
- Using a funnel to pour your salt will help you avoid spills. Hold the funnel above the reservoir instead of plunging it into the unit. If the funnel gets wet, the salt won't pour through it properly.
5Clean excess salt with a wet cloth. If you've spilled any salt in the dishwasher around the unit, wipe it up with a wet cloth. The salt you pour in the softener unit never actually touches your dishes, as it just stays in the unit itself. If you leave loose salt in the dishwasher, however, it will get mixed in with the water that cleans your dishes. This won't hurt them, but it may give you slightly dirty (or salty) dishes for one cycle.[5]
- You can also run a rinse cycle without dishes to clean any spilled salt out of the dishwasher.
6Screw the cap on tightly. Replace the cap securely and check to make sure it's tight. If the cap gets loose during a cycle and detergent gets into the unit, it could break. You certainly don't want to pay for a new dishwasher just because your cap wasn't tight enough![6]
7Replace the bottom rack and run the dishwasher normally. Once you've checked your cap, you can put the bottom rack back into the dishwasher. Fill your dishwasher with dishes and run it like you always do. There's no need for an empty rinse or clean cycle after you refill the salt.[7]
Checking if Your Dishwasher Needs Salt
1Use salt only in dishwashers that have built-in softener units. If you are unsure whether your dishwasher has a built-in unit, contact your manufacturer. If you can't find it on the bottom of the dishwasher, you probably don't have one. Don't put dishwasher salt into other spots marked for normal detergent or dishwasher cleaner. This could easily break your appliance.
- Most dishwashers in the United States do not have built-in softener units that need to be filled with salt. Only select models come with this feature.[8]
2Check your dishwasher's salt indicator. The easiest way to know if your dishwasher needs more salt is for it to tell you that it's ready for a refill! Many dishwashers have an indicator light either on the top panel of the dishwasher and/or on the unit itself. If your lights are green, they're good to go. If your indicator lights are red (or, on the unit itself, clear), then you're ready to pour in more salt.[9]
3Top off the reservoir at least once per month. If your dishwasher doesn't have indicator lights, it's up you to make your own schedule. It's a good idea to refill the salt about once per month in dishwashers that contain built-in units. Even if you have indicator lights, you may want to do a refill if it's been over a month.[10]
- If you notice that your indicator lights are taking more than a month to tell you to refill the unit, they may be broken. Check your unit levels, and call your manufacturer if you're concerned.
4Top off the reservoir if your dishes appear overly streaky. Monitor your dishes to keep an eye on the water softness. If your water is getting too hard, you'll start getting streaky dishes that look like they have a white film on them. This will be especially obvious on clear glasses. Top off the reservoir with salt to restore that pretty sparkle to your wine glasses![11]
Community Q&A
- If you have a built-in softener, using dishwasher salt at least once a month may cut down on your water and electricity bills. The salt will help break down mineral deposits and calcium particles in the water, and your dishwasher won't need to work as hard to push through lime scale or other buildups.
- Do not put regular dishwasher detergent in your salt reservoir. This could break the appliance.

The inclusion of actual world interplay inside sport play is imminent. For instance, the builders of World of Warcraft (WoW) are at the moment investigating methods to synchronize WoW's public sale home with actual world foreign money.
Sport worlds appear to be extra inclined to associate with parts in life house versus the reverse. That being stated, the unlucky actuality of gamification has began to take form in each realms.
There's, nonetheless, an alternative choice to this diluted perspective. Sport designer and professor Ian Bogost notes: "Critical video games have given their advocates a strategy to body using video games in governmental and industrial contexts by making the declare that video games can deal with consequential subjects and supply profound outcomes. " These can vary from easy video games to extra complicated methods. As an illustration, Third Faction offered "DPS" (Demand Participant Sovereignty), a undertaking selling social activism, at ISEA 2011 in Istanbul. That is a method artists have begun merging actual world politics with gamespace in a non-trivial means.
The way forward for gaming is morphing. Artists and educators are performing as a catalyst for this alteration. The consequence can be a merging of each the digital and the geophysical world. As an alternative of integrating video games into actuality, as with gamification, actuality can be built-in into video games.
John Bruneau
There's loads of buzz proper now over Gamification. Companies are leaping on the Gamification bandwagon to push earnings up. There's a robust drive in academia to gamify training. On the one hand now we have Critical Video games and Video games for Change; on the opposite, now we have foursquare America^ Military and Badgeville, all vying for our consideration, all making an attempt to up the ante. Gamification is the current of gaming. So what of the longer term?
The long run is stuffed with depth, pleasure and stress! Each side of life is so deeply infused with sport mechanics that separating sport and life is an impossibility. Desperately, folks start trying to find a strategy to escape into a spot the place they received be weighted, measured or scored, a spot the place quest-lines all come to an finish. Banal is the brand new fantasy world of video games.
When life is a sport, escapism turns into the best life. A number of indie sport titles at the moment indulge this impulse. Passage, Dinner Date and Metro Guidelines of Conduct are all indicators of issues to return. As this new style of video games begins to rise in reputation, entrepreneurs and lecturers will start on the lookout for methods to introduce life-like parts into life. For higher or worse, future colleges, companies and altruistic nonprofits will all attempt to lure us away from the leveling rat race with "Lifeification". The way forward for gaming is just not the Gamification, however moderately the Lifeification, of life.
