Swim, little fishies
The Carter Community Building Association (CCBA) has a really nice, big, warm, blue pool. I had never been in Lebanon's nonprofit recreational facility before, but my daughter needed swim lessons. She's been at camp most of the summer, and has started dunking her head in the bathtub, telling me, "Look, I can swim!" (Insert shudder here.) So I signed her up for Goldfish lessons, the beginner level, because I had no idea of her skill level. Turns out she does have some skills…and no fear. The instructor evaluated her and graduated her to the next class. It will be interesting to see how she fares this Saturday with a more experienced swimming group. But I guess as long as she can jump (i.e., cannonball) into the instructor's arms, she'll be happy.
Someone's in the kitchen
I'm trying to get four magazines to press, but the call of fresh fruits and veggies make me want to make jelly! Make pickles! Make zucchini relish! So far I've made four batches of jam – strawberry, raspberry, triple berry and blueberry. I'm thinking I need one more batch of blueberry, because the berries – at least at Juniper Hill in Grantham – are super tart right now. (Seven cups of sugar in the jelly recipe do balance that out, but I think if the berries get more sun they'll be tastier in a week.)
I also made 4 batches of bread and butter pickles, with a box of 20 pounds of pickling cukes I picked up at Springledge Farm in New London. My husband says, "Why are you doing this?" And I answered, "Because the produce isn't going to wait for me!" I found two folks who have those big, bat zucchinis (the kind that no one can sell retail), so I'll be in the kitchen next week, too. Good news is: two magazines will be off to press by then. Whew!
More retail in The Gallery
Last year, my mom and I shopped in Henniker for the day. I remembered this cute shop with country home decor and unique antiques. Well, now the store has moved from Henniker to Newport Road in New London. From House Too Home, in a former financial advisor location in The Gallery, has rooms of gifts and goodies. Be sure to check it out the next time you're getting your hair cut, getting some artwork framed or picking up Chinese food. (Yes, there's a lot to do in the Gallery now!)
The view's still great
I don't know why Groton is all het up over windmills. They don't ruin the view. They aren't that loud (it just sounds like ocean waves if it is a windy day). They don't kill birds; I saw plenty of them. There won't be any housing developments going in; the windmills serve as a conservation easement of sorts. And they're a much better option than all that black goop washing up on beaches. I spent hours with a homeowner in Lempster this week, met the folks that build and maintain the windmills, and took plenty of photos. I learned a lot. I learned things I didn't know. And, frankly, if the cows don't mind the windmills, neither do I.
Have you seen the white rabbit?
What fun! A free performance of "Alice in Wonderland" on the side lawn of the Richards Free Library and Library Arts Center. My 5-year-old daughter loved the one-hour play, specifically she loved the silliness of the characters such as the Red Queen, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. She was itching to go up on stage, as the actors from the Hampstead Stage company included kids in their production whenever they could. Thanks to everyone involved for making the summer performance series for kids so fun: the Friends of the Richards Free Library, the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, and the Library Arts Center for letting everyone in when it started to rain.

Vampire Disciplines

Subject: Auspex.....
Mon Nov 02, 2009 10:23 pm
This Discipline bestows uncanny sensory abilities upon the vampire. While Auspex initially heightens all of the Kindred's senses significantly, that is merely the beginning. As she grows in power, the vampire can perceive the psychic auras that flow around her and even project her mind into another being's thoughts. Furthermore, Auspex can pierce the disguises that Obfuscate creates; see "Seeing the Unseen.
Such sensory command gives the vampire a distinct advantage over mortals and even many supernaturals. Whether these talents let her view a distant haven, sense the prince's mood or pluck secrets from a rival Kindred's ghoul, Auspex is a powerful tool.
Still, the vampire must be careful lest this heightened sensitivity cause her to be distracted by beautiful things, startled by loud noises or overwhelmed by foul smells. Sudden or dynamic events can disorient an Auspex-using character unless she makes a Willpower roll (difficulty 4) to block them out. The more potent the source of distraction, the higher the difficulty. Failure overwhelms the character's senses, making her oblivious to her surroundings for a turn or two.
Malkavians and Toreador are most susceptible to such distractions. Kindred from the Tremere and Tzimisce clans seem better able to regulate their sensory input, but they are not immune to the occasional distraction.
A high Perception Trait is a great boon to using Auspex powers. The better the roll, the greater the degree of sensory information the character gains.
Seeing the Unseen
Auspex enables Kindred to perceive many things beyond mortal ken. Among its many uses, Auspex can detect the presence of a supernatural being who is hidden from normal sight (a vampire using Obfuscate, a mage cloaked with invisibility, a wraith) or pierce illusions created by the Discipline of Chimerstry.
Obfuscate: When a vampire tries to use her heightened perceptions to notice a Kindred hidden with Obfuscate, she detects the subject's presence if her Auspex rating is higher than his Obfuscate. Conversely, if the target's Obfuscate outranks her Auspex, he remains undiscovered. If the two scores are equal, both characters make a resisted roll of Perception + Subterfuge (Auspex user) against Manipulation + Subterfuge (Obfuscate user). The difficulty for both rolls is 7, and the character with the most successes wins.
Chimerstry: Likewise, vampires with Auspex may seek to penetrate illusions created with Chimerstry. The Auspex-wielder must actively seek to pierce the illusion (i.e., the player must tell the Storyteller that his character is trying to detect an illusion). Auspex-wielder and Chimerstry-wielder then compare relative scores, per Obfuscate, above. The process is otherwise identical to piercing Obfuscate.
Other Powers: Since the powers of beings like mages and wraiths function differently from vampiric Disciplines, a simple comparison of relative ratings isn't applicable. To keep things simple, both characters make a resisted roll. The vampire rolls Perception + Subterfuge, while the subject rolls Manipulation + Subterfuge. Again, the difficulty is 7, and the character with the most successes wins.
*Heightened Senses
This power sharpens all of the vampire's senses, effectively doubling the clarity and range of sight, hearing and smell. While the senses of taste and touch extend no further than normal, they likewise become far more acute; the vampire could taste the hint of liquor in a victims blood, or feel the give of the board concealing a hollow space in the floor. The kindred may magnify her senses at will, sustaining this heightened focus for as long as she desires. At the storyteller's option, this may make hunting easier. Occasionally, this talent provides extrasensory or even precognitive insights. These brief, unfocussed glimpses may be odd premonitions, flashes of empathy or eerie feelings of foreboding. The vampire has no control over these perceptions, but with practice can learn to interpret them with a fair degree of accuracy. Expanded senses come at a price however. Bright lights, loud noises and strong smells present a hazard while the vampire uses this power. In addition to the possibility of distraction mentioned above, an especially sudden stimulus – like the glare of a spotlight or a clap of thunder – can blind or deafen the kindred for an hour or more. System: This power doesn't normally require the use of dice, instead being defined through the storyteller's description and the player's imagination. In certain circumstances, use of this power requires a dice roll: for a normal perception roll (The storyteller may reduce the Diff by the characters Auspex rating), to notice a subject using Obfuscate, or to perceive a threat (the storyteller privately rolls the characters unmodified Auspex rating, applying whatever Diff she feels best suits the circumstances). E.g., in the last instance, sensing that a pistol is pointed at the back of a characters head may require a 5, while the sudden realisation that a rival for primogen is planning her assassination may require a 9. This power does not let characters see in the pitch darkness, as does Eyes of the beast, but it does reduce difficulty penalties to act in pitch darkness from +2 to +1, and the character may make ranged attacks in pitch darkness if she can hear, smell or otherwise detect her foe.
**Aura Perception
Using this power, the vampire can perceive the psychic auras that radiate from mortals and supernatural beings alike. These halos comprise a shifting series of colours that take practice to discern with clarity. Even the simplest individual has many shifting hues within his aura; strong emotions predominate, while momentary impressions or deep secrets flash through in streaks or swirls. The colours change in sympathy with the subject's emotional state, blending into new tones in a constantly dancing pattern. The stronger the emotions involved, the more intense the hues become. A skilled vampire can learn much from her subject by reading the nuances of colour and brilliance in the aura's flow. System: The player rolls Perception + Empathy (Diff
; each success indicates how much of the subject's aura the character sees and understands. A botch indicates a false or erroneous interpretation. The storyteller may wish to make this roll, thus keeping the player in the dark as to just how good (or bad) the characters interpretation is.
1 Success Can distinguish only the shade (Pale or bright).
2 Successes Can distinguish the main colour.
3 Successes Can recognise the colour patterns.
4 Successes Can detect subtle shifts.
5 Successes Can identify mixtures of colour and pattern.
The Aura colours chart offers examples of some common colours and emotions they reflect. The character may view a particular subject's aura only once with any degree of clarity. Any subsequent attempts that result in failure should be considered botches. It is very easy for the character to imagine seeing what she wants to see when judging someone's intentions. After a full month, the character may try again at no penalty. It is possible, yet difficult, to sense the aura of a being who is otherwise invisible to normal sight. Refer Seeing the Unseen.

***The Spirits Touch
When someone handles an object for any length of time, he leaves a psychic impression on the item. A vampire with this level of Auspex can read these sensations, learning who handled the object, when he last held it and what was done with it recently. These visions are seldom clear and detailed, registering more like a kind of psychic snapshot. Still, the kindred can learn much even from a single glimpse. Although most visions concern the last person to handle the item, a long time owner leaves a stronger impression than someone who held the object briefly. Gleaning information from the spiritual residue requires the vampire to hold the object and enter a shallow trance. She is only marginally aware of her surroundings while using The Spirits Touch, but a loud noise or jarring physical sensation breaks the trance instantly. System: The player rolls Perception + Empathy. The difficulty is determined by the age of the impressions and the mental and spiritual strength of the person or event that left them. Sensing information from a pistol used for a murder hours ago may require a 5, while learning who owned a set of keys found days ago might be a 9. The greater the individual's emotional connection to the object, the stronger the impression he leaves on it – and the more information the Kindred can glean from it. Also, events involving strong emotions (a gift-giving, a torture, a long family history.) likewise leave stronger impressions than does a short or casual contact. Assume that each success offers one piece of information.
The vampire projects a portion of his consciousness into a nearby mortals mind, creating a mental link through which he can communicate wordlessly or even read the targets deepest thoughts. The Kindred hears in his own mind the thoughts plucked from a subject as if they were spoken to him. This is one of the most potent vampire abilities, since, given time, a kindred can learn virtually anything from a subject without him ever knowing. System: The player rolls Intelligence + Subterfuge (Diff = subjects willpower). Projecting thoughts into the targets mind requires 1 success. The subject recognises that the thoughts come from somewhere other than his own consciousness, although he cannot discern their actual origin. To read minds 1 success must be rolled for each item of information plucked or each layer of thought pierced. Deep secrets or buried memories are harder to obtain than surface emotions or unspoken comments, requiring 5 or more successes to access. Telepathy does not commonly work upon the undead mind. A character may expend a willpower point to make the effort, making the roll normally afterward. Likewise, it is equally difficult to read the thoughts of other supernatural creatures.
*****Psychic Projection
The kindred with this awesome ability project his senses out of his physical shell, stepping from his body as an entity of pure thought. The vampire's astral form is immune to physical damage or fatigue, and can fly with blinding speed anywhere across the earth – or even underground – so long as he remains below the moons orbit. The kindred's material form lies in a torpid state while his astral self is active, and the vampire isn't aware of anything that befalls his body until he returns to it. An ephemeral silver cord connects the kindred's psyche to his body. If the cord is severed, his consciousness becomes stranded in the astral plane, the realm of ghosts, spirits and shades. Attempting to return to the vampires physical shell is a long and terrifying ordeal, especially since there is no guarantee that he will accomplish the journey successfully. This significant danger keeps many kindred from leaving their bodies for long, but those who dare can learn much. System: Journeying in astral form requires the player to expend a point of willpower and make a Perception + Occult roll. Difficulty varies depending on the difficulty and complexity of the intended trip; 7 are average, with 10 reflecting a trip far from familiar territory. The greater the number of successes rolled, the more focussed the character's astral presence is and the easier it is for him to reach his desired destination. Failure means the character is unable to separate his consciousness from his body, while a botch can have nasty consequences – flinging his astral form to a random destination on earth or in the spirit realm, or heading for the desired destination so forcefully that the silver cord snaps. Changing course or continuing to another destination requires another point of willpower and a new roll. Failure indicates that the vampire has lost his way and must retrace the path of his silver cord. A botch at this stage means the cord snaps, stranding the characters psychic form in the mysterious astral plane. An astral form may travel at great speeds (Approx 1000 mph) and carries no clothing or material objects of any kind. Some artefacts are said to exist in the spirit world, and the character can try to use one of these tools if he finds one. The character cannot bring such relics to the physical world when he returns to his body, however.

XL Foods is dumping beef tainted with E.coli into a landfill in Brooks, Alta.
The company took about 1.3 million pounds of frozen beef to the industrial part of the Newell County landfill, all under the supervision of Canadian Food Inspection Agency officials, over the weekend.
The company is expected to dump more beef on Monday.
The beef product in the boxes is mostly frozen ground beef and trimmings such as heart and tripe, but so far no high quality cuts.
Ray Juska, landfill manager at Newell County, says his crews are putting dirt onto the meat.
"It's to keep out vectors, primarily seagulls is what we have here, and it's also a requirement of the CFIA so nobody can go back and help themselves to some off-spec meat," Juska said,
He's also hoping that his contribution will help the company and its workers get back to work.
We're a waste disposal facility associated with Brooks and area and really what the big issue here, aside from what's happening to Brooks and to XL, is what's happening to the people that it's affected," Juska said. "And it's had a pretty substantial impact and now that a lot workers are laid off and the longer it goes on the greater it's going to be. So, we're really hoping by accepting this material that we're part of the solution"
It's not clear how much beef XL Foods will have to clear from the plant in order to have the CFIA reinstate its license following the recent E.coli outbreak and massive recall of 1,800 products.

ID Theft
Identity theft occurs when someone steals your personal identifying information and uses that information, like your name, Social Security number, or credit card number, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes.
The crime takes many forms. Identity thieves may rent an apartment, obtain a credit card, or establish a telephone account in your name. You may not find out about the theft until you review your credit report or a credit card statement and notice charges you didn't make - or until you're contacted by a debt collector.
Results of Identity Theft
Identity theft is serious. While some identity theft victims can resolve their problems quickly, others spend hundreds of dollars and many years repairing damage to their good name and credit record. Some consumers victimized by identity theft may lose out on job opportunities, or be denied loans for education, housing or cars because of negative information on their credit reports. In rare cases, they may even be arrested for crimes they did not commit.
How Thieves Get Your Identification
They steal your wallets, purses, or mail, including bank and credit card statements, pre-approved credit offers, and checks or tax information.
They find a lost wallet or purse.
They change your address by diverting your billing statements to another location by completing a change of address form.
They rummage through your trash looking for bills or other paper with your personal information on it.
They pretend to be financial institutions or companies and send spam or pop-up messages to get you to reveal your personal information (also known as phishing.)
Do not habitually carry your Social Security card, Social Security number, or your Medicare card.
Never give personal information over the telephone or internet, unless you initiated the contact.
Cancel extra credit cards and IDs. Make a list of the credit cards you keep. Never leave a PIN with your card.
Order your credit report at least yearly - it's free.
Shred all financial and personally identifying information before throwing it away.
Don't allow a company to use your Social Security number for identification.
Remove your Social Security number from your driver's license.
Know when your bank or credit card statements usually arrive. Call the company if they are late.
Check your credit and bank statements closely.
Only print your name and address on your checks.
Report lost or stolen credit cards immediately.
Pick up your mail as soon as its delivered.
If It Happens to You
- Report it to the Police. In Billings call (406) 657-8200, the non emergency number.Immediately after filing a police report, contact any one of the three national credit reporting bureaus and request a security fraud alert be placed on your credit report.
- Equifax (800) 525-6285
- Experian (888) 397-3742
- TransUnion (800) 680-7289
- Notify your bank, credit card companies, and any other companies that may be involved.

$8 for 16 megapixel camera
In blogpost Half Ass Approach in Salvaging Plunging Morale Among Sinkie Males, i suggested using the vouchers for groceries. Well, i found a better use for the $80 vouchers by using it to buy the Canon A2500 entry level digital camera on sale at $88 ($88-$80). Canon website list the retail price at $149.
Furthermore, it comes with free 8GB 30mb/s SD memory card & camera case.
Moving Up the Value Chain
Long time visitors may have realised also that the quality of blogposts have gotten better ever since the camera got spoilt.
When the easier way out is shut off, you'll just have to adapt to a higher level. It is also the case with Google as i've blogged in What Google's Homepage Can Teach S'pore's Overpaid Ministers.
- No digital camera --> Being forced to blog at higher level.
- Google Homepage Zero Ads --> Forcing itself to operate at higher level for profits.
- Close floodgates to cheap foreign labor --> Being forced to productivity gains through automation route.
Google has done it, i've have gone through it myself. The most expensive government in the world - Sillypore govt can't do it despite being paid millions. Being paid the highest in the world yet taking the easy route & inflicting hardship on the peasants compared to other 1st world governments.
Anyway, back to the reuse & repair topic. Now with a camera i can show with examples. Repair & reuse is not just about saving $$$. It is the amount of energy resource that went into producing, packaging, transporting the item as oil prices nowadays are around triple-digits.
We ought to reduce our carbon footprint besides saving $$$. Throwing away something that can be repaired without much difficulty is wasteful.
Chair Repaired With Badminton String
Backrest of the chair broke on one end due to its thinly welded metal plate. Luckily there's a hole. Thickness of broken badminton string can be just nice in threading through holes to secure things. Once done & knotted, pull both ends of string with pliers to tighten the string.
Clothes Hanger in Shower Room
The spare wall mount with its big mouth. To fix the 'big mouth' i stuff badminton grip patch in attempt to plug it.
Bicycle Tyre Tube Patching
I'm an idiot at repairing punctured holes at first. Why idiot? Because i didn't follow the rubber glue instructions & always apply the patch while the rubber glue is still wet as that is what we always do when sticking paper to paper. Apparently rubber glue doesn't work like paper glue.
- Sand punctured area.
- Apply rubber glue on sandpapered area.
- Let it dry completely!

Novo mesto in the field of developmental penetration is an example to the whole country
date: 08. 03. 2019
Mayor of the Municipality of Novo mesto, Gregor Macedoni received the Golden Stone 2019 Award from the Prime Minister Marjan Šarec for the developmentally most penetrating municipality in Slovenia. It is a reward that has been awarded on the basis of a survey involving more than 60 key indicators of development effectiveness since 2012. "Novo mesto has placed creativity, talent and excellence in the forefront. This is a positive spirit, and only such a positive spirit leads to real changes for the better. This is an example for the whole Slovenia and this is the reason why the Municipality of Novo mesto is the recipient of the Golden Stone Award, "they wrote in the explanation.
In the analysis, which automatically covers all Slovenian municipalities, development effectiveness is measured in the following areas: demography, efficiency, economy, labor market, education, standard of living, social cohesion with political culture and the environment. The selection takes place in five steps and starts with the examination of the development documents of the municipality, followed by the determination of the development efficiency index, followed by the red thread and the special indicators that were related to this year's selection. This is followed by a shortlist of 12 finalists, where the final word belongs to the expert council - a multidisciplinary group of experts from universities and from the practice that follows the development of the project as a whole. In addition to Novo mesto, the finalists of this year's selection were: Pivka, Radovljica, Žiri, Črnomelj, Trebnje, Šmarje pri Jelšah, Črna na Koroškem, Zreče, Grad, Ormož and Ptuj.
Over the past five years, we have been able to achieve an exceptional development leap, which is also witnessed by a 22-point improvement over the composite ISSO index. We have managed to build a strong economy and a great development potential with modern management based on sustainable and socially sensitive development, while using technologies we follow the trend of smart cities. In the cultural field, successful individuals have been recognized as an important part of the local cultural identity and emphasized the role of excellence.
"The award is a confirmation of the quality work of a wider team, with which we launched a development model four years ago with a clear goal of improving the quality of life of our citizens. The fact that our efforts, in addition to the citizens, have also recognized the wider environment of course brings satisfaction, but at the same time it is also the responsibility to insist on the road ahead, "said the mayor of Novo mesto, Gregor Macedoni.

I've wanted to try a SK-II Facial Treatment Mask for a while but I was put off by the price. It is $90 for six individually packaged masks (which sounds like a lot of money to me). I did tons of online research and I only found rave reviews about this product. Everyone loves it! Finally, during Want It Wednesday of last week I bit the bullet. My face has been SUPER DRY due to this Winter weather and the heat in my office blasting. I decided to break one out last Saturday in preparation for date night with the hubby. Basically, this is a thick paper mask that is coated in a gel-like liquid. You unpeel it and put it on your face. Here are some questions I had and the answers to them:
– Why aren't the instructions on the box or the packaging?
Answer: I don't know and I was annoyed by this. I was all set up in the bathroom, ready to apply the mask and I had to get my iPad and Google the instructions. I wound up finding the information on their website but I was irritated that I had to do that research. Once I found them though, the instructions were pretty much self-explanatory. Unpeel it and put it on your face for about twenty minutes. Afterwards, peel off the mask and wipe off any excess liquid. Do not rinse.
– How do I use it? Do I need to lay down? Will it slide off my face onto the floor?
Answer: You dont need to lay down. The gel will help it stay on your face. (I would not recommend doing Zumba while using it but if you watch TV sitting up you should be fine.)
– How long do I leave it on and when should I use it?
Answer: I left mine on for about a half hour. Another tip is to use this when your husband/child are not home. Mine were playing Fibber in the living room and when I went downstairs they chased me through the house while trying to snap pictures of me in my Silence of the Lambs mask.
– Was it worth it?
Answer: I would have to say yes. I think it made a tremendous difference in my skin. Prior to using this, my face was flaky (especially around my nose) and afterwards my skin was soft and smooth. It stayed that way for about two days and made applying makeup much easier.
The only downside was the price but in my online research I found other bloggers that re-used their masks. So, I followed their example and got another use out of it! When I put the mask on I saved the packaging and the extra liquid inside. Then, when I was done with the treatment, I re-folded the mask, carefully put it back in the package with the residual liquid and taped it shut. I stored it in my fridge until I was ready to use it again (two days later). I added a tiny bit of water at that time and and squished it around. I applied it the same as I had the first time and it worked just as well. Now, I thought $90 for six masks was expensive but I can deal with $90 for twelve uses! I will definitely use the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask again and highly recommend it.

This was a poster designed to make people aware of the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) and encourage them to be a voice for abused animals. We wanted to reinforce the ASPCA's existing theme line, "We Are Their Voice," and illustrate in the most simple, emotionally powerful way how animals cannot speak out against cruelty and must rely on us to do that for them.
