ATID-406 Ten years since my wife ran away. A father who loved and raised his daughter clumsy with one man. "I'm going to get a job in Tokyo. I don't like this town … I don't like this house." A father raised his hand without enduring the ruthless confession of his beloved daughter who grew up in Teshio. "What was this decade ?!" When he stared at his daughter who had fallen to the floor, he noticed that there was a growing contraindication in his heart that was different from anger. 妻に逃げられてから十年。男手一つで不器用なりにも娘を愛し育てた父親。「東京で就職します。この街も…この家も好きじゃない」手塩にかけて育て上げた愛娘からの無慈悲な告白に堪らず手を上げた父親。「この十年は何だったんだ!」床に倒れ込んだ娘を見つめながら心の中に怒りとは別の禁忌なる感情が芽生えている事に気付いた父親は…。

Looking On The Bright Side of Gaming
Steps Taken in Mobile Game Development
Most people usually used mobile phones in the early days for communication purposes only. There have been significant changes that are made to mobile phones nowadays owing to mobile revolution and technological advancements making these devices very fun to use. There are various activities that one can perform with smartphones nowadays which include making calls, getting reminders, organizing calendars, chatting with friends, playing games among others. There are various steps that have been taken by the gaming industry in order to attract gamers towards using mobile phones. These devices are becoming more and more popular especially with the increased interest in playing mobile phone games among individuals. Games are developed to be used for a wide variety of mobile phones not only hand-held devices.
Technology has greatly been impacted on by the gaming industry due to tremendous growth that has occurred in this industry. Young people nowadays are gaining interest in gaming apps real quick making their demand to be on the rise. During game development, there is a process that is followed in order to create a fun game that will be loved by many people. The first thing one does is to come up with a game idea which is creative and innovative at the same time. In the gaming idea, one should include the experience they want players to gain, player details as well as the problem solving technique the game offers.
Once one drafts the game idea, the next step is to develop the concept. During concept development, there is a document that one makes which represents the four building blocks of games and contains a quick overview of the game. Game mechanics is one of the building blocks of a game. This simply refers to the rule set of the game which simply contains a description of how a player is to achieve the goal of the game. The board, starting position and the moves a player is required to make in order to win the game are briefly described.
How I Achieved Maximum Success with Games
Another building block of a game is the setting whereby there's a summary of the story as well as aesthetics of the game. All events that take place before and during the game are described in the story as well as the game world. How your game sounds and looks is what is described in aesthetics. The technology used as well as interaction provided between the design and users are the remaining building blocks of a game.
The Best Advice About Gaming I've Ever Written
The last step one takes is to create a prototype of their game. In the prototype, one should ensure they include the mechanics of the game and ensure that the prototype resembles parts of the game. One them designs the architecture of the game, develops the game itself and finally test it in order to ensure it works accordingly.

By MuscleGelz
Transdermal Gel - 8 oz. bottle = 236 mL (approx)
50mgs of Epiandro and 50mgs of Androsterone (R-andro) per ML
Apply 2-4 pumps to desired areas (chest, biceps, shouders, abdomen are preferable) and massage in well, allowing to dry.
Apply 2-4 pumps in the am, and/or 1 hour prior to workout.
Do not exceed 8 pumps per day
R-DHEA is known as "Reduced DHEA" because it is a 5a-reduced metabolite of DHEA. It's more commonly referred to as androsterone.
This naturally occurring hormone cannot convert to testosterone, but instead converts to the dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Similar to testosterone, DHT is responsible for masculine traits such as aggression, sex drive, and physical strength. However, because DHT cannot convert to estrogen, it also helps reduce fat storage and water retention, making it an excellent steroid for increasing muscular hardness and vascularity.
R-DHEA will stack well with 5-DHEA or 4-DHEA as it will help reduce water retention from under the skin, thus creating a "dry" and hard appearance. R-DHEA also has moderate anabolic properties thus allowing it to help enhance lean muscle gains.
Strength gains will also be noticeable with R-DHEA due to its strong androgenic effect which will activate the central nervous system and increase muscular power.This will increase explosive power with minimal bodyweight increase. The increased aggression is typically a welcomed benefit, which manifests as increased confidence and an "alpha male" feeling in sexual and social activities.
The strong androgenic action from R-DHEA will also help support libido and erection hardness. This makes R-DHEA useful to help counter the sexually suppressive effects from other steroids. The powerful androgenic effect will also block estrogenic effects, and help prevent (and reverse) gyno.
Side-effects from R-DHEA will be limited to androgenic side-effects such as oily skin, acne, and increased hair shedding if the user is prone. These side effects are mild and temporary for most users.
Epiandrosterone is a natural metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) via the 5α-reductase enzyme, it may also appear under the name 3b-hydroxy-etioallocholan-17-one. Epiandrosterone is a precursor to Stanolone, a powerful steroid hormone. Epiandrosterone can be found naturally occuring in most mammals and is excreted in urine as a normal part of human metabolism. It provide health benefits such as weight loss, muscle growth, and support immune system function.
Stanolone is the hormone that epiandrosterone converts to in the body and it is very androgenic. This makes hair loss a possible concern with epiandrosterone, but anecdotal evidence has shown that it is not too harsh in this area. Epiandrosterone does not aromatise to estrogen, so bloating and gyno should not be much of a concern. This compound will not produce remarkable size gains in comparison to other prohormones, but it is especially good for strength gains and muscle density and definition, which makes it great to use during a cutting cycle or alongside a prohormone that helps build mass during a bulking phase for a balanced strength and size stack. One additional benefit of epiandrosterone is that it appears to have some immediate neurological effects, so having a dose pre-workout can aid in strength and aggression.

Excellent. Super Body Recomp. Acts very similar to anavar and in some ways winstrol. I did get harder and stronger. Some aggression at 10+ pumps a day for sure.
Posted by Michael Starkey on 16th Feb 2018
The stuff is great, keep it coming. Best stuff for gains. Don't go without.

Hi all, coming to Roda 26th September for a week, staying at Elizabeth apartments, first time to this resort, wondering what are peoples favourite places to eat and drink are. Not interested in relative cost, just wanting to know which are the favourites, traditional or otherwise. I am especially fond of fish and seafood, favourite dishes being Gavros, Sea Bass, Seafood Spagheti etc.
My experience is that generally you cannot go wrong eating out, having stayed in Kassiopi, Avlaki and Kalami many times, eating in these places, also San Stefanos, Porta, Sinies, Agni and others.
I would also like to visit Old Perithia if possible, too far to walk or not? Any help appreciated.

Lots of places to eat in Roda. My favourites are El Mar, Skouna (great food and sea front location) and Roda Park (huge menu and excellent quality). For snacks Yummies is well worth a visit. There are also many bars catering for all tastes. The Boat House (on the edge of the village towards Acharavi) is new this year and is perfectly situated next to the sea, well worth a visit.
Old Perithia is too far to walk, but a car hire would solve that problem.

If you are serious walkers with the correct gear, one way to Ano Perithia is not a problem, at a guess four and a half hours.
20 minutes to Acharavi, at the Pump roundabout, fork right then first right, follow this road up through the olives bear left keep climbing, you pass the entrance to Monolithi, take left turn at T junction just past Monolithi entrance, carry on to Ag Martinus, through the village turn sharp right up steep hill, your on your way to Lafki, serious climbing uphill all the way.
Enter Lafki (guestimate 2 1/2 hours to here) and stop for a rest and a drink, you've done the hard bit.
After your rest, retrace your steps back to the entrance to the old disused quarry, sign posted Ano Perithia on your right as you go back (100 yards). From here to Old Perithia is about 2 hours, my friends do this bit every year. You could pre-book a taxi to collect you in the afternoon.
I've no doubt there are tracks and trails that cover the same route but I don't know them.
Jesus wants me as a sunbeam. And a jolly good sunbeam am I.

Shaxi hotels in Old Town
The Old Theatre Inn is the #1 rated hotel on TripAdvisor for Jianchuan County for the 5th year in a row. But there are other hotels we recommend, located in the Old Town for those who don't mind a more touristy Chinese atmosphere.
Some other recommended Shaxi hotels include:
- Horsepen 46 – a popular youth hostel and part of the International Youth Hostel association. Just off Si Deng Square.
- Tea and Horse Caravan Inn – simple rooms in a courtyard arrangement, close to Old Town. A step above backpacker accommodation.
- Laomadian – the most expensive hotel in Shaxi, nice location off the Square, nice dessert in their restaurant
- 58 Yard – a favorite for young Chinese travelers, limited choices, very basic rooms
- Cato's Inn – another town inn popular with young Chinese backpackers and students
- Landscape Hotel – coming in late-2016, this Chinese-owned chain hotel is popular with China's new rich and their families
For those interested in knowing more about availability in some other Shaxi hotels, Old Theatre Inn is happy to make inquiries on your behalf. We never charge any commission for our travel assistance services.
For more information on these Shaxi hotels, you can check out the Shaxi China website, hosted by the Shaxi Visitor's Centre.

Whilst many people have viewed 2016 as something of a disaster, our office rather enjoyed it…!
It was a big year for awards at Adam Hobill Design. In April, we had success at the local ACT BDA design awards, winning one category and picking up a highly commended in another.
This success was continued later in the year with two winning entries in the National Building Designers Association of Australia Design Awards including;
> New residential buildings : 251-350sqm (Deakin Residence)
> New residential buildings : 351-450sqm (Turner Residence)
In late October our success continued at the 2016 HIA ACT & Southern NSW Housing Awards where we were honoured to win two awards;
> Renovation/Addition Project : $200-$350k (Narrabundah additions)
> Residential Building Designer of the Year (Turner Residence)
A big thank you to those clients who generously allowed us to reach that success, your hard work, flexibility and willingness to prepare the homes for photos and judging is very much appreciated.
Whilst there is no doubt that winning awards is a big thrill, I get even more satisfaction in seeing our designs being built. This process culminates in that exciting time when our clients move into their brand new homes. 2016 saw the completion of several of our designs and there were a couple of standouts in terms of the final result and over the moon clients. One of those is a new home in Boobialla Street, O'Connor. Built by Creative Building Services, this contemporary home was designed to showcase the expansive views towards the city. With great assistance in the interior design from Nicola at Yolk, this home had fulfilled all of the clients hopes and dreams. Stay tuned for more photos coming to our site soon…

Once I dreamt of bird view from above the cloud.. nothing just flying about the clouds like an eagle.. it was so interesting that i remember waking up and feeling sad that i couldnt fly.
I remember I used to get scary snake dreams so someone asked me to do a shivji's pooja. I did and the same might I dreamt of a "animated" cute snake asking me to come play with him .. I am slightly less scared of snakes now.. like I wont be paralysed after seeing them.. LOL
Once time I dreamt of being in my school after hours and my teacher gave some of us extrea work to do.. we were all busy doing our work .. when we finished and came out of the class it was night and everybody had gone home. It was just a few of my friends and my teacher in that school. It wasnt scary but it was uncomfortable.
then we came out of the school and saw regular traffic and felt better.
One time I dreamt of a white light coming from right sight and engulfing me and then it wrapped me like a baby and rocked me .. I felt like my mother was rocking me..
What does that mean? An angel touch?
I am walking on endless plains. Then some narrow streets then sand fields. Suddenly meet an old man. He wouldn't speak anything but he is walking with me.
When I saw in his eyes, he told me to keep walking and assured me that I am on the right path. I asked him, how he know about my path. He disappeared.
But his voice echoed I am always with you. I am always with you. I am always with you.
A truck came and off-loaded money full of coins and bills. I am filling my pockets with whatever coming in my hand. Didn't know what to do. ran to a shop to spend some money. Shopkeeper said he can not accept that money as he didn't like it.
I ran home to empty my pockets. I slipped on the wet floor. Money spread all over.
I started collecting the coins from all corners.
I woke up and…………………….
I am seeing myself Begging. Begging and arranging food.
Then I see myself distributing roti with daal, a kind of Indian lentil soup, to end number of people free and thanking them. The kind of satisfaction I get from feeding people that daal soup is un-measurable.
I wake up in the middle. This scene has been a part of my nightly excursions often.
While I was young, I used to dream this one so repeatedly.
I am traveling on a truck bay, I mean the truck with a flat bed, getting close to an over bridge. The bridge is leaking water on all sides. Suddenly the truck breaks into two parts and I am left in the part behind and could not make under the bridge. I cry and wake up.

Bill requiring drug tests for welfare signed | News
ATLANTA -- Gov. Nathan Deal has signed legislation that would require some people applying for welfare in Georgia to pass a drug test before they could get benefits.
The bill passed the Legislature along partisan lines, with Democrats balking at the proposal as an unfair burden on the poor.
RELATED | Drug testing for welfare recipients passes Senate
MORE | Welfare recipients could face drug tests
Under the bill, anyone who tests positive for drug use could not apply for welfare for one month and until they test clean. A third violation could prevent someone from applying for benefits for a year. They would also have to pass another drug test before reapplying.
The results from the tests couldn't be used to criminally prosecute people.
Courts have struck down similar laws in other states, although supporters in Georgia expressed confidence that the law here could withstand a legal challenge.
Debbie Seagraves
ACLU Georgia
"It will be very, very expensive. Because every study that's been done shows that people who are receiving assistance do not use drugs at a higher rate than people who are working. So most people will have to be reimbursed," because, she said, the overwhelming majority of applicants -- in the tens of thousands per year -- will test negative and, under the new law, the cost of the test, at least $17, will be paid back to them when they test negative. "So the state is going to bear the cost."
"It's a violation of the Constitution."
A court in Michigan has ruled a similar law unconstitutional, she said, and in Florida a judge issued a temporary injunction putting a similar law in Florida on hold. The Florida case will be heard by the federal appeals court in Atlanta.
"And that judge" in Florida "said there was no reason to believe that it was going to curtail drug use because there was no reason to believe that people were using drugs at a higher rate when they were getting assistance, and that is was unconstitutional, and that it [the challenge] was likely to win in court."
"It's requiring suspicion-less searches. It's one thing to require a drug test of someone who is suspected of using drugs. [But] these are people who are being blanket-tested, or who will be blanket-tested, with no suspicion, in order to receive a public benefit. A benefit that we have all paid for as taxpayers."
Yes, she said, taxpayer money should not be used by welfare recipients who buy drugs, but taxpayer money should also not be used to conduct illegal, unconstitutional searches of innocent people.
"They are having a requirement put upon them to give up their bodily fluids, to be tested for drugs, when there is no reason to believe that they are drug users. So suspicion-less searches, and this is a search, suspicion-less drug testing is not a constitutional thing for the state to be doing" and regardless of how popular the plan is, she said, the Constitution forbids it.
"There's no evidence that there is a high rate of drug use among TANF recipients. Any evidence that's out there would tell you just the opposite."
"What if our government -- state, federal or local -- just decided that we have a high rate of drug use across the board, and there is something wrong with that and so everybody is going to get tested? What if they said that, well, we need to have DNA samples of every citizen in this state in a database, and that way, when a crime's committed, we can just pull it up and go get the right person? Are you okay with that? Suspicion-less searches, taking away the privacy of a human being, is prevented, it's restricted in our Constitution. It's prohibited in our Constitution. And, to say that someone, at the worst time in their life, they're having to get TANF, they're having to get assistance, during the worst recession that any of us remember, that we are now going to impose this punitive testing, it serves no purpose, it saves no money, it's unconstitutional, and it's just misdirected and mean."
Sen. John Albers
(R) Roswell
The new law is needed "To make sure that we get people clean. And we never want to spend tax dollars on enabling people's illegal activity. Implement a little tough love, because ultimately the best way to serve people is to give them a hand up, not simply a hand out."
The new law, Albers said, is not "red meat for the right wing" to pander to voters, as some critics have called the law.
"If anything, this is about as American as it becomes, which is doing the hard work, being accountable. And we should never give one group an advantage over another in anything we do. I'm a volunteer firefighter. I have to take a drug test. In the private marketplace, for my job, I have to take a drug test. To have someone who receives a free government benefit to do the same is simply leveling the playing field. So I don't believe that argument holds weight, we have worked very closely with legislators in Florida and our Attorney General's office.... This is nothing about illegal search and seizure."
"The average TANF or welfare recipient in the state of New Jersey spent 5.8 years in the system. However, if they were using illegal drugs, they spent 12 years, more than two times. So the state has a reason and a fiduciary responsibility to make sure that tax dollars are never going to be used for illegal purposes , and that we're using the best use of taxpayer dollars for programs."
Sen. Albers said statistics from Florida indicating that about five percent of welfare applicants test positive for drugs are inaccurate; he said the rate is closer to 13 percent. "If 13 percent of the people no longer get a government subsidy to fund their use of meth or cocaine or heroine or something terrible, then absolutely we're doing the right thing. We would never take our tax dollars and go hand it to somebody to go break the law. It's just wrong."
"This is good government. And true compassion is doing what's best for people, not easiest. Tough love works, and it's time we (had) a little tough love in the state of Georgia."

Pink, a brilliant film by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury is going to shake you to the core. It is not a film from a feminist perspective, but it does talk about the shackles in which girls of our country are tied even in this century. The newspapers everyday talks of atleast one incident where a girl is either molested or raped. Recently, we found two acid attack survivors Reshma Quereshi and Laxmi making headlines by walking the ramps in New York Fashion Week and London. They conveyed a very strong message that acid can destroy their face / bodies but their will and spirits cannot be destroyed. Thinking of such ordeal itself gives us goosebumps, difficult to even imagine the trauma of the victims. What is the mentality of the people, who do so in the rage of not able to accept rejections? And as far as Reshma and Laxmi are concerned, they have displayed extraordinary grit and strength by fighting all the sorrow, grief, vulnerabilities and leading a life with their heads held high. They generate a great sense of respect and regard for them. If I talk regarding the film Pink, it does not talk of such intense incidents, but it does raise many pertinent questions, talks of double standards, gender discrimination etc. In spite of females excelling in almost every field, there are many unsaid rules in our society which decides whether a female is of good character or not. The beauty of the film is that this is not at all a loud film in spite of conveying a very loud message. It talks of the attitudes prevalent all around us which stamps a female of 'questionable character' on the basis of the length of the her skirt, the time when she returns home after work, how much she smiles at men, whether she drinks / parties or not, and her virginity status etc.
There are enough moral policing for girls. It also talks about the corrupt system in our country, the cops who actually need to protect people, end up in framing people in false cases. Pink through its highly engaging plot and courtroom drama turns out to be so powerful that it is bound to make you think.
Three single independent working women Minal Arora (Taapsee Pannu), Falak Ali (Kirti Kulhari) and Andrea (Andrea Tariang) are friends and they share an apartment in Delhi. Minal is from Delhi itself, but due to her odd working hours, she stays with friends. Falak is from Lucknow and Andrea from Meghalaya. Their lives take a turn when they go for a rock concert with a friend Vishwa (Tushar Pandey) and befriend Rajveer (Angad Bedi) and Dumpy (Raashul Tandon). They accept a dinner invitation from Rajveer and go for the same in a resort in Surajkund, Haryana. After some light talks, jokes, drinks, Minal is inappropriately touched by Rajveer. In an effort for self-defense, Minal picks up a bottle and smashes it on Rajveer. The girls manage to escape from the resort. Till the credits roll, the incident is not shown which led to the whole plot. But the screenplay is so strong that one gets to have vivid visualization of what could have gone wrong.

Girls do not approach the police initially out of fear. They even get more scared when they come to know that Rajveer is the nephew of very influential politician. Later, when all three are harassed by the boys gang (actor Vijay Varma also joins the gang) by different means, they decide to approach police department and file a case. But Rajveer files a case in turn against Minal mainly and accusing other two too. Minal is accused for 'Attempt to murder', for extorting money etc. All three of them are labeled in the FIR as prostitutes. Minal is arrested, and the case is handled by none other than Deepak Sehgal (Amitabh Bachchan), who lives in the neighbourhood of Minal, Falak and Andrea. The initial shots itself show Deepak doing morning exercises in the park, where he often ends up looking at Minal jogging with blank expressions. Deepak Sehgal had called it quits to his profession as a lawyer due to his bipolar disorder, but comes to the rescue of the girls.
The second half is highly engaging with courtroom sequence. Piyush Mishra as Prashant is the prosecution lawyer. There we get to see some fine and smart moves during the debate. Deepak had answers to every accusation which Prashant was bringing up.
Who wins in the end – Girls or the boys? How efficiently does Deepak suffering from bipolar disorder fight the case ? What defense statements were made by Prashant to protect the boys ? What was the motive of girls behind accepting dinner invitations from acquaintances, was it to extort money from the rich (as accused)? How were the girls Minal, Falak and Andrea treated in the society, workplace and in court after this incident ? How did they handle their character assassination?
There are certain moments in the films which certainly would bring tears to your eyes. There is a scene, where after the incident, Minal is commented upon as the girl involved in 'Surajkund Kand', she just puts the hood of her sweatshirt on her head instead of retaliating, Amitabh Bachchan removes the hood. There are many more such moments. There is no lecture in the film; rather it talks about what is happening in and around us.
There are some parts of the plot which were not very much justified: Amitabh Bachchan's Bipolar disorder, his ailing wife confined to a hospital bed. The boys appeared very influential and egoistic in the beginning, wanted to punish girls at any cost, but once when the courtroom drama started unfolding, there was not a single moment of encounter / threatening from these boys to girls, which seemed unlikely. One of the girl was molested by the boys in a running car, she was harassed, but why incident was not at all mentioned during the court proceedings? But these are very much unnoticeable in midst of powerful scenes.
Amitabh Bachchan blends with the character of Deepak Sehgal so well. He is outstanding. Taapsee, Kirti, Andrea are also extremely good, have projected their vulnerabilities, pain, sadness, confusions, anger with so much finesse. Angad Bedi as Rajveer and Vijay Varma stand out, rest of the boys, Raashul Tandon, Tushar Pandey are also very nice. Piyush Mishra with his exclusive style of dialogue delivery excels as the prosecution lawyer. Vinod Nagpal as the landlord and Sudhanva Deshpande as Haryanvi cop are superb. Dhritiman Chatterjee as judge has done so much justice to his character, he projects his uneasiness when girls are interrogated with uncomfortable questions.
Pink, a very powerful and outstanding film, conveys a message very loudly that when a woman (be it friend, acquaintance, wife) says 'No', it actually means 'No'. It also prompts society to stop judging a girl on the basis of length of her skirt, time of her returning home, her single status, her attempts to enjoy life in parties etc. The poem by Tanvir Ghazi recited by Amitabh Bachchan when the credits roll, clearly conveys that it is high time to end the patriarchal rules which shackles the women in stereotypes. Pink through its highly engaging plot and courtroom drama turns out to be so powerful that it is bound to shake you to the core.
Rating : 4.5 / 5 (Very Good+)

Evaluating risksDcss (dungeon crawl stone soup) is a pretty good game, it taught me very valuable lessons - why ? because this game is very rich in features, very very well balanced and very deadly.
I only realized the value of this game after hours and hours of frustration, but this game is good - first my strategy was to look for the 'perfect' combination - I tried gargoyle hunter (because gargoyle are not affected by poison and start with a decent armor class - and I was losing a lot of characters because of poisonous adder or scorpions) - but they lack in strength at the beginning, that's why I switched to troll hunter - but the constant search for food to feed these beasts was overwhelming, so I switched to spriggan (not requiring much food) and tried the spriggan venom mage - who is very powerful at the beginning, only to discover that he could be smashed in one hit by giants or ogres ...
Now I sort of found a real winning combination with the deep dwarf artificer follower of Elyvilon - he has a very nice beginning with 3 wands (including a healing wand he can recharge them using his MP) and then later he can cure himself - that was the way to fix his natural flaw of not being able to regenerate hit points. And now this little fellow has conquered the lair, decimated the spider nest, and entered the vaults ...
Oh, one thing you should never, never do as a healer is to protect yourself (using a,p) then attack monsters - this is considered as a transgression by Elyvilon and the healer is then under penance.
StrategyQuit early, if you have never seen that monster before, press x go over the monster and press v - this will give an overview of the monster's capacities, and more in depth description.
There is no shame in going away soon - as a rule of thumb if the character has lost one third of his hit points, it is time to run away, read a teleport scroll, blink or use a wand of teleportation on himself, if the loss goes more than 50% then the situation can really be fatal.
Don't engage monsters on an open ground, unless you are 5 or 7 blocks away and can outrun them (with a haste potion, or using cheibriados 'slow' on the opponents). Now if you don't have other options, then you better switch your weapon to an axe type - because you can then hit multiples opponents at once. But this is not a guaranteed strategy.
Trying to enchant and use a troll hide to regenerate a deep dwarf doesn't work.
If you want to use the immolation scroll, make sure you are far from the opponents flocks.
You can burn trees with a wand of Fire, this can be quite useful.
Stupid deaths seriesHere's a few screenshots of stupid deaths
Mistake number 2 : not using an axe type (which I had in my inventory)
This was really a stupid death, I had a scroll of fear I could have used
none of these monsters alone would have been a problem at all.
Retreating the the small square on the right, I could have taken them one by one, I even had many unused healing and curing potions, what was I thinking?!
Mistake number 2: not using the haste potion to run away
That is the typical situation that followed a 'winning streak' where I thought I could handle this kind of setup - I used a phial of floods to help - but it wasn't enough and then the character got confused and it was over in matter of 2 rounds.

city at war, IDW Publishing, Mirage Studios, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, TMNT, treasury edition
Okay, this was a cool idea: reprinting the original pencil art and layouts for the fiftieth issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. IDW has been printing over-sized "artists" version for a few years, volumes which feature original unfinished artwork.
But I have to admit I would have preferred seeing the published art at this impressive size. The book rivals the old Marvel Treasury Editions in size, but it sort of feels like an "extras" DVD that came without the original movie. I sold it to a TMNT collector who could truly appreciate it. Here are some photos so you can peak inside.

The 34-21 vote came after more than an hour of debate.
"This is about equal protection under the law," state Sen. Toi Hutchinson (D-Chicago Heights) said.
"The sky is not falling," state Sen. Kwame Raoul (D-Chicago) added.
State Sen. Jason Barickman (R-Pontiac) is the only Republican who voted for the bill. State Sens. Gary Forby (D-Benton,) William Haine (D-Alton) and John Sullivan (D-Rushville) opposed the measure, while four other Democrats either voted present or abstained.
Sen. Kyle McCarter (R-Lebanon) predicted the measure would force teachers to include same-sex marriage in their curricula. He also said it would adversely affect bed and breakfasts, florists and other wedding-related businesses.
"People will be discriminated against," McCarter said as supporters who gathered inside the chamber laughed. "Promises from the proponents that this bill will not discriminate; that's not true."
Gay state Rep. Greg Harris (D-Chicago,) who co-sponsored the measure with state Sen. Heather Steans (D-Chicago,) applauded the vote.
"The momentum is building," he said. "More and more House members are telling me they want to be on the right side of history and that they intend to support the bill."
President Obama, Senate Majority Whip Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) and Illinois Republican Party Chair Pat Brady are among those who had urged legislators to back the measure.
"While this historic day is only half the battle, the Senate today put Illinois on the road to recognizing that, as President Obama said in his inaugural address, 'the love we commit to one another must be equal,'" Equality Illinois CEO Bernard Cherkasov said.
Same-sex marriage advocates from across the country also celebrated the bill's passage.
"We thank the Illinois Senate for passing this historic bill, making this a sweet Valentine's Day for loving same-sex couples across the state," Jim Bennett of Lambda Legal said. "The momentum for marriage continues on this day American holiday honoring love and commitment, and we now urge the House of Representatives to join the right side of history and grant same-sex couples the dignity and respect of marriage."
"We celebrate this wonderful gift of love on Valentine's Day as the bill moves for consideration in the state House," Maureen McCarty, online content and marketing manager for the Human Rights Campaign, wrote on the organization's website.
The vote took place less than a month after the Rhode Island House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a bill that would allow same-sex couples to marry in the Ocean State. Delaware and New Jersey lawmakers are expected to consider the issue in the coming weeks and months.
Illinois is among the handful of states that currently allow same-sex couples to enter into civil unions. Maryland is among the nine states and D.C. that permit gays and lesbians to marry.
"Couples across Illinois have even more reason today to celebrate their love for each other, thanks to the hard work of committed advocates and lawmakers," Gov. Pat Quinn said in a statement shortly after the vote. "This historic legislation will strengthen our state by allowing all committed couples to enjoy the same legal protections and benefits of marriage."
The Illinois House of Representatives is expected to consider the bill in the coming weeks.
"The vote today for marriage was even stronger than the vote in fact for civil unions," Cherkasov told the Washington Blade. "We came out from that with a really strong momentum."
They just gave the gay's the right to pass on the HIV virus and they gave both the gay's and lesbian's the right to molest children to turn them to their way of living.
WOW cant believe how ignorant (Gary) people can be, I don't think u even know what you just wrote, Educate your self sir before you can write comments like that one, Renae Adams Nicholas David Reed Leticia Velasco Leon what you guys think about this! BTW great Job Illinois!
I know what I am talking about because they tried it when I was young.
All gay's and lesbian's need psychiatric care.
And you need a better education than middle school.

Loyalty Startup Seeks Credit Union, Bank Partners to Help Feed the Hungry
The demise of PerkStreet, a startup that offered generous cash back on debit card purchases, illustrates how the business is changing. Interchange-funded rewards are out; merchant-funded perks are in.August 16
Fisoc has added a community bank and four credit unions to its Buzz Points program. Buzz Points is a merchant-funded loyalty program that helps banks and credit unions connect to consumers and merchants through social media and offer rewards.February 26
Software maker Glyph has a new relationship with Yodlee, a mobile app update and a new web app designed to help consumers decide which credit card to use at checkout.February 13
Post recession, companies are designing software meant to rejuvenate saving account activities.October 30
Card reward programs are well past their S&H Green Stamps phase, where people redeem their rewards by picking items from a catalog that stays pretty much the same all the time. Consumers demand far more flexibility these days, and analysts say banks need to get creative about delivering it.January 2
Bank of America announced the nationwide launch of its online rewards system, BankAmeriDeals.August 14
Mogl, a startup that's created a restaurant loyalty mobile app, has been gaining credit union and bank partners for its program, which provides cash back for meals out, with the option of donating the money to local food banks.
Financial services partners could benefit by becoming top-of-wallet while also helping to feed the hungry, and in turn, improving their brand images.
Currently, the San Diego startup counts nine credit unions, one bank, and two airlines as partners. Three additional credit unions are finalizing their participation in the program.
Like other rewards apps such as SaveUp, SmartyPig, and The Spring, Mogl requires people to link their cards to the app. Users get 10% cash back when they swipe their connected physical cards at participating restaurants and bars. Mogl says its software works with hundreds of thousands of cards. The do-good twist is that users can choose to donate their cash back to food banks in the area. (An option that can add up: delivering one meal costs about $0.20. In other words, $10 equals 50 meals.)
Participants who have downloaded the mobile app will receive push notifications or texts about the cash back and/or donations. Currently, those alerts work quickest with Visa cards (and can come within minutes of swiping the card), while MasterCard and American Express can take up to two days. Users can pre-set the percentage of cash back to donate on the app.
Unlike some apps that use Yodlee or Intuit to power the user's ability to link in outside accounts, Mogl has users enter in or swipe in their payment data. The information is sent to the card associations, which send back a token. Mogl does not store any card data.
Broadly, Mogl is meant to help people "have an easy, easy experience in earning cash back," says Jeff Federman, chief executive and co-founder of Mogl. "It's very 1993 to walk in with a coupon or anything of that nature. Half the time you forget them or are embarrassed to show them."
The mission underscores a growing trend among banks: Merchant-funded rewards are getting modernized for the smartphone.
Bank of America, for example, rolled out BankAmeriDeals to award customers with cash back for their swipes.
Young companies like Fisoc also sell merchant-funded loyalty programs to community banks and credit unions. Mogl offers yet another example of the trend and distinguishes its offering with its charity component and focus on restaurants.
The young company counts more than 2,000 participating restaurants in California and Arizona and says it can launch its program in a new market with 100 users and five restaurants.
To gain users, Mogl stocks restaurants with kiosks that let a person swipe a card to enroll in the program and remove one possible barrier to usage: data entry. The bigger distribution play, however, comes from Mogl forming banking partnerships, including one community bank so far, OneWest Bank.
The financial services strategy helps Mogl acquire users quickly, Federman says.
Credit unions, in turn, get to offer yet another way to give back to the community through a program designed to keep their cards top of wallet. "If you go out to eat, you're thinking about the credit union," Federman says. "It's an increase in interchange."
Ventura County Credit Union in California is one of Mogl's satisfied partners.
"It's one of the quicker and easiest decisions that I had to make," says Joe Schroeder, president and chief executive of the credit union and board member of Food Share Inc., the food bank for Ventura County. "It all lined up."
The credit union counts about 5,200 Mogl users since launching the program in April 2013 and continues to observe membership enrollment growth. (The credit union has more than 62,000 members.) Ventura County Credit Union auto-enrolled cardholders who provided email addresses and hadn't opted out of communications. It's also invested about $20,000 in marketing Mogl.
The credit union's promotions for the program include email campaigns, web banners and in-branch associates wearing t-shirts touting the service. Tellers are happy to chat up the program, and with it, the credit union's cards. "It makes [employees] feel better about the place they work,"says Schroeder.
Only one member has expressed privacy concerns. "It's great feedback: only one complaint," says Schroeder.
The program has the potential to influence members to use the credit union's plastic as their primary payment, he says. Already, the credit union has observed monthly transactions grow among its participating members.
To be sure, members can and do tie other cards to the service in fact Ventura Country Credit Union encourages the practice. "We want to see the poor and hungry get fed," Schroeder says. "Members get additional value and we help the poor out. It sounds corny but it's what we should be doing: We should be finding ways to give something back to the community and membership."
Another benefit is it benefits the brand. "It's something that isn't political at all," he says. "I haven't found someone who doesn't want to feed the hungry."
And if a person donates the cash back to deliver meals, the tech will "be a gigantic game changer for food banks," he adds.
Though credit unions not-for-profits are Mogl's sweet spots, Schroeder sees such tech-enabled loyalty programs coming to financial institutions, too. "I'd be surprised if more community banks didn't do this," he says.
He's looking to broaden the tech-enabled ways Ventura County Credit Union gives back. "I'd love to layer something on top of this," Schroeder says. "I'm looking for something this good in another area to help out the community."
As for Mogl, co-founder Federman says it will raise another round of investment in February as it works to expand into Nevada and Florida and add 10 more credit union partners into its program by the middle of the first quarter. "It's the fastest way to grow customers," Federman says.

In late October people around the world saw an unusually brilliant round of auroras, including blood-red northern lights that reached as far south as Alabama in the U.S.
The sky show was the product of what's called a coronal mass ejection, or CME—a cloud of charged particles that came bursting off the sun on October 22.
It took a couple days for the cloud to reach Earth, slam into our atmosphere, and generate the auroral display.
Now, recently released video from one of NASA's twin STEREO satellites shows the actual CME in action. Earth is out of the frame, but roughly to the left.
To give you a sense of scale, the white circle in the center of the video represents the sun, which is blocked by a mask so that the satellite can capture fainter structures in the bright star's upper atmosphere.
Watch the video again—full screen in HD—and ponder this: The sun has a mean circumference of about 2.7 million miles (4.3 million kilometers)—and that massive cloud of material it ejected was aimed at Earth.
The sun goes through 11-year-long cycles of activity, and we're currently in what's known as Cycle 24. Sun experts expect a peak in this solar-activity cycle around May 2013.
Recent increases in solar activity—sunspots, flares, and CMEs—prompted NASA to raise its prediction for the level of activity we'll see when the sun reaches that peak.
Our active sun, seen in September in UV light by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.
However, the predictions still call for this to be the smallest sunspot cycle in more than 80 years, according to experts at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
And some solar physicists are seeing signs that the sun is headed into what's known as a grand minimum—an almost totally quiet period—during Cycle 25.
Still, it only takes one strong CME on the right trajectory to wreak havoc on Earth, scrambling satellites and maybe even burning out transformers in the electric grid.
And in the meantime, we'll be sure to enjoy all the excellent auroras we can expect from Cycle 24, as well as the jaw-dropping videos from sun-orbiting satellites.

text: I had not seen this before my latest update on my post. I see the pump you picked up is rated max 5.5 psi (I have found a local source for the Facet pump with same rating), but from I see in Catalina Direct (and I think from the universal parts list) that the pump they have has the same 32gph, but a max of 8 psi. So, from what I'm reading you are not seeing any problems with your pump when in gear/cruising speed?

Here's When You Should Call, Text, Email, or Write a Note
Find out which communication method is appropriate for every scenario.
You receive an unexpected gift in the mail—is it good enough to shoot out a quick "thank you" text, or is it time to pull out the stationery for an old-fashioned, handwritten note?
"We have lots of choices to make in today's rich communication environment," says Daniel Post Senning, an expert from the Emily Post Institute and co-host of the Awesome Etiquette Podcast. "People will start taking cues about what you mean by how you communicate it." An emoji-laden text is clearly more familiar and fun, while a handwritten note seems more formal and heartfelt. The best way to decide if you should text, write, or call is to evaluate the relationship—if you and your best friend are committed texters, then text messages will be the natural avenue for birthday wishes or heartfelt thank-yous. If you know your grandmother loves to hear your voice, skip the text and opt for a phone call (or a visit if you can!).
Each scenario requires some nuance, but the rule of thumb for thank-you notes is that you can never thank someone too much, says Catherine Newman, Real Simple's Modern Manners columnist and author of Catastrophic Happiness. You should never worry about redundancy, only about sincerity.
"If you know in your heart of hearts that the person feels super thanked, that's all etiquette is about," says Newman. "You don't need to be tripped up by rules if you are confident that you are expressing gratitude. In every scenario, that's going to be the most important thing."
We came up with a range of scenarios—from apologies, to condolences, to job interviews—and asked Newman and Senning to weigh in on which communication type they would choose. Spoiler: The answer is rarely to send an email.
Scenario 1: Your close friend gives you a birthday gift.
The etiquette standard, says Senning, is a warm, in-person thank you. "If you've had a chance to do that, a written follow-up is not obligatory," he says. Eye contact and a personal display of gratitude in the moment ("I love this, I can't wait to use it!") is enough. That said, for more formal relationships—like your grandparents or your boss—it's nice to go "two tiers," says Senning. Send a text as an immediate thank-you, and then follow up with a handwritten note of thanks. "I think the rules are changing," says Newman. "I personally would send my closest friends a note but that's me, and that's the culture."
Scenario 2: Your aunt sends you an early gift for your new baby.
Special occasions—like new babies, graduations, and weddings—require a personal handwritten note of thanks. "They're brief," says Senning. Make sure to personalize the note and express gratitude, to demonstrate that you've made an effort.
Newman agrees: "She's going to expect a note," she says.
Scenario 3: You just left a job interview—and you really want the job.
"Thank them twice, maybe thank them three times," says Senning. You'll want to thank your prospective employer as you're walking out the door and follow up with a handwritten note. If you're nervous that "snail mail" moves too slowly, send an email a few hours or day after the interview to emphasize your interest and appreciation for their time.
"It's an opportunity for distinction," Senning says of the handwritten thank-you note. "The reason people have done it for so long is because it's such a powerful tool when you're hunting for a job. You want to take every opportunity you can to distinguish yourself in a world where we have a lot of communication choices, and they're increasingly casual and informal." As a bonus, says Senning, you can also send thank you notes for positions you didn't get or didn't accept.
Scenario 4: Your grandfather passes away, and your coworkers send you individual condolence cards and a fruit basket.
"The etiquette standard is that you do acknowledge sympathy cards or funeral gifts," says Senning, and you do so for each person. "It can be tough when it's a group gift, but you do your best to thank everybody." Even notes should be acknowledged. If there's an enormous volume of sympathy gifts coming your way, Senning says that friends and family can help send out thank you notes.
Scenario 5: You want to wish your friend from college a happy birthday.
When it comes to birthdays, Senning advises using whatever medium is most familiar or most used in that relationship. He himself has used Facebook often to connect with old friends, or a text.
"My family is the family that calls and sings happy birthday into your voicemail," says Newman. "As long as you know that you're doing something that will make that person feel loved and appreciated, it's good enough."
Scenario 6: Father's Day is around the corner… do you send your dad a card, or give him a call?
"The greeting card holidays require cards," says Newman. That means major holidays, like Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day necessitate a card to your immediate family or partner. For Father's Day, you don't have to send a card to your husband, uncle, grandfather, father-in-law, and brother-in-law—just sending it to your own Dad is enough.
Scenario 7: You inadvertently excluded a friend from a party or event and owe him or her an apology.
When it comes to apologies, "don't use email or texting to avoid a difficult or awkward situation," says Senning. "Avoid the chance that someone might find your apology insincere. Give them a call." His rule of thumb: If you can't say it in half a sentence via text or email, pick up the phone.
Scenario 8: You host a housewarming party, and your friends were thoughtful enough to bring wine.
The one time it's redundant to thank someone is when it's for a hostess gift. "It puts you in a Hall of Mirrors," says Newman, where you are thanking them for thanking you.
If you're hosting a dinner party, your guests will likely check in with you before they leave. You can give them a hug and a heartfelt, in-person thanks for coming over, and that is enough, says Senning.
Scenario 9: Your friend hosts you at her lake house for the weekend.
Remember: "a hostess gift does not count as a thank you," says Newman. While you should send a quick text or email on your car ride home, Newman suggests also following up with a thank-you note. Her favorite: "Go to Shutterfly and upload your best picture from the weekend onto one of their card templates. Type in a note, and send it," she says. "It's fun, they get a picture, and it takes five minutes to do it."


text: I recently reached the six-month mark in my breastfeeding journey. It was a big day because there was a time when I didn't think I would make six days. Somewhere between sleep deprivation, a bout of mastitis and a tongue-tied infant, I almost gave up a number of times. Fortunately I persevered and I'm so thankful that I did. From those middle-of-the-night feeds, when it felt as though Baby Boo and I were literally the only people in the world, to those special moments when she paused mid way to smile at me, I feel truly privileged to have experienced this relationship with her. But it's not just the sense of bonding that I've found enchanting. From its ability to treat eye infections to being a new mum's miracle calorie burner, breast milk really is magical. So, in honour of World Breastfeeding Week, I've put together a list the colossal benefits, and a few quirky facts, I've discovered about mother's milk. Continue reading

Recording & Mixing a Live Jazz Gig
Recording the debut performance of a large ensemble is always a challenge, since there is no reference point for the sound or the overall mix. On this occasion however, the music of Charles Mingus forms the very core of this ensemble so we had a rich heritage of recordings, though none recorded in such a huge church!
The band is "dedicated to sharing the music of Charles Mingus through live performances and education projects" so our brief was to accurately capture the performance to be used in educational and promotional material.
As is often the case with live recording, we bring in at least one additional engineer who can take care of the live sound, so we simply focus on capturing an exceptional recording, running a direct feed from each channel of the desk to our rig.
An appropriate selection of our studio microphones get to join us on these recordings, and we normally end up using mainly our own microphones. In this instance we spot miked all instruments, and created an ambient rig on the balcony for audience capture and ambience.
Spill and bleed between instruments is inevitable on such a tightly packed stage, but the overall sound captured the event accurately and appropriately and after some subtle editing in the studio, all elements had their own clear space in the mix.

Mojave Audio is one of the world's leading professional microphone manufacturing companies and is well known for their attention to detail and characteristic sound. Although only founded in 2005, Mojave Audio actually started life as a one-man pro audio gear shop in 1985 in the garage of David Royer. Best known for his ribbon microphone designs with Royer Labs, David Royer has been creating cutting-edge microphones, preamps and compressors for many years.
The Mojave product catalogue is small but perfectly formed. Currently comprised of just eight microphones, the Mojave Audio range includes FET and vacuum tube designs that all boast solid build quality and some of the smoothest outputs you'll ever hear. The MA-200 is one of the leading models and has been met with rave reviews. It's ultra-clean signal path, Jensen transformer and hand-selected 3-micron capsule make the MA-200 perfect for any recording you would typically use an expensive, large diaphargm tube microphone for including vocals, piano, acoustic instruments, drum overheads and of course orchestral and choral recordings. The Mojave MA-300 offers the same great valve sound but with addition switchable low end roll-off and 15db pad controls, plus remote controlled continuously variable polar pattern selection.
Mojave also offer a range of smaller format microphones with more discrete chassis for more intimate recording situations. The MA-100 also provides the rich warmth of vacuum-tubes but with a small diaphragm and switchable cardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns. The MA-101fet is the equivalent design but with solid state innards. Both are ideal microphones for acoustic instruments, close-micing drums, and piano but the MA-100 works better on guitar amps and the MA-101fet is more suited to location recordings.
Mojave Audio microphones are the result of years of high end mic design by some of the greatest minds in audio and provide beautiful sound and broad versatility at a fair price.

Now we know. Linn Hall's homemade plane will fly. I did a blog post on his rolling it out at Columbus Metropolitan Airport in Columbus, Georgia after he finished building it after 8 long years. He told me that he wsn't going to invite media the first time he flew it. Pilots who build their own planes are advised not to tell media about their first flight because they might find something wrong with the plane but go ahead and try to fly it anyway because they invited media to come.
But, there are pictures. His friend Mary Lynn Lobello was invited and she made a video of the flight and they put it on YouTube.


text: DIY Artwork and Home Décor on a Budget Create Your Own Masterpiece Tweet Share 2 Pin 18 Between making your monthly rent or mortgage payments, paying for your utilities, and buying furniture, moving into a new home can be quite taxing on your wallet. For many of us, there seems to be little left over in the budget when it comes to extra money for decorating. But with a little creativity and imagination, you can make your own beautiful artwork and home accents that won't break the bank. Upcycling Thrift Store Finds Thrift stores are filled with hidden treasures. The key to finding them is to look past the color and focus on the shape. Always remember that you can change the color. Don't pass up those ceramic figurines that seem outdated; instead, picture them in all white, rose gold, or even black. In addition to figurines, you can paint frames, candlesticks, lamps, vases, baskets, and more. With a little bit of paint, you can transform those once-kitschy pieces into modern home décor resembling what you'd find at expensive department stores today. You can easily update thrift store knick-knacks to fit your style in just a few easy steps. The basic materials you need to paint your thrift-store finds are spray paint, sandpaper, and primer. When selecting spray paint, choose interior multipurpose paint. Using an all-in-one paint and primer will save time and money. You can select different finishes, from matte, satin, and gloss to sea glass, metallic, or even textured stone. You may need to sand some pieces first to allow the paint to adhere nicely. For small home décor accents, light sanding by hand is sufficient. The heavier the material on the piece you're sanding, the coarser the grit you'll need to use. Start with a fine grit. For example, 120 is used as a starter grit for delicate surfaces, like ceramics. Work your way to a higher grit if needed. For metal pieces, you'd need a coarse grit, like 60 or 80. Once you've sanded your piece, spray paint it in a well-ventilated area. Lay down a tarp to protect your work area from excess spray. It is best to spray several light coats instead of one heavy coat. Allow your project to dry for at least 20 minutes between coats. A good trick is to put small home décor pieces on top of a cardboard box and spray them there so you can easily rotate the box and spray all four sides and the top with ease. You can take your pieces inside to dry about thirty minutes after spraying your last coat. Allow them to dry overnight. DIY Stenciled Gallery Wall Gallery walls look great in hallways and entryways or above your living room sofa. You don't need to spend a lot of money on individual pieces of artwork. Instead, create your own by stenciling recycled shoebox lids. This upcycling idea is even less expensive than buying paint canvases from the craft store, and it will have the same look. You can even mix and match them with the thrift store frames you just painted. You will need shoebox lids in various sizes. Save box lids from shoes, boots, and kids' shoes to get a variety of sizes. You will also need acrylic craft paint, paint brushes, stencils, and stencil brushes. Use about five to seven pieces to create a good gallery wall. Choose your color pallet and lay out the shoebox lids in your desired arrangement. Next, paint each box lid a different base color. Don't forget to paint the edges of the lids. Two coats should do the trick. Using your stencils and stencil brushes, add a design in a contrasting color by carefully saturating the tip of the brush, removing some of the excess paint, and stamping the paint down onto the stencil in an up-and-down motion to help prevent bleeding. Allow each box to dry between painting the stencils, and be sure to wash your stencils after each use. Once they are dry, hang each lid with a thumbtack. Add rubber putty to the tip of each thumbtack to prevent the lid from slipping off. Repurposed DIY Artwork with Salvaged Materials Another option for inexpensive artwork and home décor is to repurpose salvaged materials such as old shelves, cabinet doors, and extra floor planks. If you don't have these items laying around, you can find them for a few dollars at salvage shops, such as Habitat for Humanity's ReStore shops. A cabinet door can cost as little as two dollars, and a box of 20 or more flooring planks can run ten dollars or even less. Check garage sales or free curb alerts too. Salvaged materials like these are perfect blank canvases for welcome signs, holiday artwork, serving trays, and more. Some DIY projects take just a little time and a few quick steps. To make a serving tray, add cabinet pulls to the sides of a cabinet door. Using industrial-strength glue, attach metal clips to an old shelf to create an instant photo display piece. Cut 4" x 4" pieces from a flooring plank to make a set of coasters. If you invest in a good letter stencil set, you can stencil your own signs for every holiday. Projects like these are unique, and they look like trendy store-bought items. Standard flooring planks are the perfect size to make a welcome sign for your front door. To make one, you will need 5"-tall letters, sandpaper, craft paint, a paint brush, and industrial-strength glue. You can find unfinished wood letters at your local craft store. Sand down the splintered edges. Next, paint each letter in the color of your choice. One coat will suffice. Once the letters are dry, lay them down on the flooring plank to position them properly. Make sure they are centered. Once you are satisfied with the placement, use strong glue like E6000 to glue them down. Decorating your new home isn't as costly as it seems if you get a little creative. Turning someone else's trash into treasure is simple even for a beginning do-it-yourselfer. With a good eye and a little elbow grease, you can create beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces for your home on any budget, even a tight one.

The good news is that someone managed to create an iOS 11.3 jailbreak. The bad news is that the person who managed the trick probably won't turn it into anything the general public can use.
While this once would have left a significant percentage of the iPhone community tearing its hair out, these days jailbreaking is almost dead.
A Chinese hacker named Qixun Zhao, who also goes by the Twitter handle SorryMybad, claims to have cracked Apple's software. His post says it all: "Jailbreak on the latest iOS 11.3". He posted several screenshots to support his claim.
But those same images, and the rest of his post, show that the goal of this project was to score $30,000 from the Microsoft Bug Bounty program. Zhao belongs to the Qihoo 360 Vulcan Team, which looks for bugs but doesn't publicly expose the details of them.
So far, Zhao≥ has said nothing about using his discoveries to make a publicly-available iOS 11.3 jailbreak.
Jailbreaking mostly a thing of the past
In the early days of the iPhone, Apple's operating system was fairly simple. While easy to use, it lacked many features people wanted. The solution was jailbreaking: hackers finding ways to modify the operating system so non-authorized software could be installed.
But these days, so many features have been added to iOS that there's little need for jailbreaking. Interest dwindled to the point that two of the three top repositories for jailbroken apps shut down last year.
Which is just as well, because Apple has made it much harder. It took about 6 months to jailbreak iOS 11, for example.
So if Zhao doesn't release his iOS 11.3 jailbreak, a few people will be frustrated. But not many.

Last night I got devastating news, David Corso, passed away; this news came from Duncan O'Finian, talk radio show, a streaming program, on for two hours, on a broadcast station.
He said David Corson was now deceased; it was a shock, and immediately two of my alters came out, but I controlled them, but I felt intense loss, for David is and was my maga, I was and am suppose to protect him.
This is now over, and I am having to deal with, not having my maga, any more; I feel empty, and know I have to find a new maga, of a need to fill it up with something else.
I am physically having to deal with this, as well as, feelings, and I know, I am in a very dangerous place, for I no longer have being an outryder, for David Corso, which was the center of my being for over 50 years; and now I don't have thhis, so I'm looking for new things to have as a recognized action, which will replace my maga, and allow me to go on, without that demand on my time, experiences, and activities.
I'm still in a raw place, but I will work through this, as I've worked through my UFO Abductee experiences, and being kidnapped by military style groups, who want the information I and others have.
My life has been hindered by all of this, and especially, being an outryder, in Vietnam, Black Ops, making sure David Corso finished his sniper, and other jobs, assigned to him, as another graduate of the Black Ops program of the CIA, and others, including private corporations, etc.
I have other things going on im my life, which helps me get through this; they will help immensely, in recovering from this hyperintense state of being, programmed, by those outside of me; they will be brought to justice, as well.
