The Search Engine Optimization Tips Your Competitors Doesn't Would Love You To Understand
If you're planning to monetize your blog or increase website traffic to some website, search engine marketing is one of the most essential things you can possibly do for your personal business. SEO must get the website listed rich in the major search engines.
Please read on to discover exactly how to get this done.
When publishing content, it's better to post multiple short pieces on topics which can be similar than to publish extremely long articles. Long pages are weighted less highly than short ones by search engines like yahoo. Also, you'll discover that the majority of your visitors don't want to consider something that is multiple pages.
There are numerous methods to optimize your web site for search engines. Your site will show up in results with greater frequency when you use SEO effectively. User experience will be greatly improved as a result of increased performance.
You have to have patience to get better SEO. Big boosts for your website's traffic are not going to arrive overnight, regardless of what you need to do. Specifically if you have a brand new website, the optimization process may well not show results for months. The same as inside a physical business, it will take time to develop a reputation.
If you wish your website to attain high rankings, you have to create your content more spider-friendly. Spiders analyze your website, taking a look at stuff like keywords. However, they don't always grasp the way to navigate around your web site. To assist the spiders know the hierarchy of your respective website's pages, craft an internet site map highlighting the most important factors of your site.
You can make this happen simply by making a robots. txt file and adding it in your root directory. This may cause certain files available on your website inaccessible to the major search engines.
Making it easy for people to check out new product offerings and bring them aimed at your website, publish descriptive blog entries that may be subscribed to by readers with an RSS feed. Your feeds should include detailed descriptions of your respective product offerings or services, in addition to prices and pictures. Submit your blog posts to shopping comparison websites and each of the major search engines. Customers interested in your community of business you represent can subscribe via a feed reader.
Determine if an informational site or .org domain will trade links along. Search engine listings view back-links to reputable sources favorably, and they can reward your affiliation along with them. By supplying high-quality content in your site, you may entice websites with solid reputations to feature you. Provide the sort of articles and information that reputable organizations find trustworthy.
Do not add any SEO to Flash content. Flash is not usable on some devices, and look engine robots cannot read it by any means. To optimize a site, your articles must be visible and crawlable by search engines like google.
As you now see, optimizing your website is easier than you think. Making use of the tips you've just been given can lead to increased visitors and popularity. Utilize these ways to get in front of the competition..

Plug Your Money Leaks (and have fun with it)
There was nothing fun about going broke and having a large, powerful bank breathing down my neck. And yet, it led to massive personal growth for me. I got my act together and learned about personal finances (and of course, paid back every last cent I owed), and I learned incredibly useful lessons along the way.
Easily the best and most useful of these lessons was the realisation how much stuff I don't need in my life. My clothes didn't fall apart even after three years. I didn't need to order in pizza, I could bake the frozen version from the supermarket just fine. I realised with relief, that neither my happiness nor my self-worth depended on anything I needed money for.
It also taught me a lot about my spending style, and the reasons why I had always been terrible with money up until then. One major point is what I call "money leaks", and it's so big, I decided to dedicate an entire article to it. Heads up: If you identify and plug the places where you're "leaking money", you'll end up with much more, without penny-pinching.

Identifying your money leaks
We all have different spending habits. That's why it's important to track your spending for a while. Don't worry, you won't have to write down every croissant you buy forever! Just stick with it for a month and see what you can learn from it.
A lot of money advice seems to focus on frugality. My approach is a little different: I recommend you save money in order to finance more joy with it! Plugging the money leaks is much easier this way. By the way, if you haven't done my free online training yet, you can sign up for it here – it'll give you 3 days of lessons and assignments you can put into practice immediately.
A money leak is an expense that's not strictly necessary and doesn't contribute to your joy and passion (or passions) in the long term. In the following, I'm going to give you a list of common leaks, in order to give you an idea. Yours might be completely different, of course, but it'll be easier for you to spot them once you know what to look for.
These are recurring, often monthly, expenses which seem completely insignificant on their own. How much can those few bucks for Netflix really hurt? The problem is, that it's a constant "leak", and if you add up all your subscriptions, the amount you spend on them per year can be rather frightening.
The solution: Ask yourself if you can get the same thing for free. Could you pool your Netflix account with a friend, or watch the same shows on DVDs a friend owns and could lend you? Do you get a newspaper whose main articles are all available online for free? Is your TV really enhancing your life, or taking time from your reading and your passion? Are you paying for an anti-virus program when a free one would work, too?
Clubs and gym memberships
Do you still pay for that gym membership although you've stopped going six months ago? Or do you pay for a social club whose meetings you hardly ever attend? It might be time to weed those out.
The solution: The gym is not the only way to get into shape. Look for online workout videos and find a sports hobby you actually enjoy. Try running with a friend or playing volleyball with a group at a public volleyball court. You're more likely to stick with it this way, and it won't cost you a thing!
Special offers
Certain shops and websites run regular offers which are so cheap, it seems insane not to buy them. The problem is that this tricks you into buying things you would never have got otherwise, and a lot of the time you end up buying additional stuff, spending even more.
The solution: Before you hit the "Add to Cart" button, ask yourself if this pretty porch lantern is really essential for your passions and your joy in life. You have lived, how many years, without it – could you perhaps do without a little longer?
[bctt tweet="If it's something you wouldn't buy if it wasn't cheap, then even the cheap price is too much."]
Once you've plugged those money leaks, you'll be surprised how much more cash you have left every month. It's time now to invest this – into savings, into "play" money (a certain amount you're allowed to blow each month), and of course into your passion! Have fun with this, and always think in terms of what else you can afford now, rather than what you're denying yourself.

We take pride in delivering world-class service to all of our patients. Read what some of our satisfied patients have said about us!
What Our Patients Have to Say:
Brian C
It was a good visit. Informative and efficient. Thanks.
June B
He was very patient with both my Mom (90 years old) and myself. Spent a considerable amount of time with us and was very thorough. The staff in the office were very kind and helpful too.
Ann B
This was my first visit with this dentist after going to his business partner for many years. Dr. T unfortunately passed away and I was a bit nervous going to a new dentist after so many years with the same one whom I liked very much. Dr. Noohi was very nice, professional and explained things throughout the visit. I recommend him.
Brian M
Very thorough in explaining what he was and will be doing to lengthen my tooth that broke at the gum and will put crown on in a little over a month. Dr. N is very professional and very concerned that the patient has an excellent experience. Highly recommend him and his staff.
Milton S
This was my first visit to the office since my dentist died. Dr. Noohi is fantastic.

Robert M
Good visit well worth the visit good dr
Penney L
I cannot say enough about the care I have received from Dr. Babak Noohi! I am about to complete having two implants done with him and he is truly one of the best doctors I have ever had in any field! He takes the time to explain everything as well as give different options for treatment (he always schedules plenty of time so you never feel rushed and never have to wait in the waiting room more than 5 minutes); his gentle yet professional manner inspires confidence and his goal is clearly to make sure that his patient is perfectly satisfied. I have sent several friends to him for major dental issues and they are all extremely happy as well. I recommend Dr. Noohi without hesitation!
Terry S
Very positive appointment. Dr. Noohi and staff were very professional and did a good job of explaining the procedure being performed.
Edward K
My visit went very well, even though I was dreading the drilling. I feel like I received top flight service!
Matthew S
Dr Noohi is a very competent, thoughtful and kind Dr. and person.
Noah K
My son and I both needed a new dentist and I feel that we both found our new family dentist. I highly recommend Dr. Noohi.

Excellent. Very competent and courteous, well informed and transparent. Inspire confidence.
Kathleen Doyle

Joanna Lewton
Dr. Noohi and his staff are so wonderful, professional and patient. Dr. Noohi is respectful, compassionate and gentle and did not make me feel guilty (even though I was acting like a big baby!) What a wonderful office- I am so grateful
K. McBride
Dr. Noohi and his staff are amazing. I was greeted by Kendra, Paul and Dr. Noohi himself when I first arrived. My cleaning was superbly done by Dr. Noohi. It was efficient and completely pain free. Not only will I be returning, I highly recommend anyone to visit his office and experience his staff and the expert care you will receive. Thank you Dr. Noohi!
Scott L.
Dr. Noohi and his staff were highly recommended to me and were as advertised at my first appointment. I felt welcomed and valued even before I was in the chair. Both Paul and Dr. Noohi were extremely kind, clearly explained things to me, responded to my preferences, and made me comfortable through my cleaning and procedure. I've rarely felt at as much ease as under their care. I'm thrilled to have found a dental clinic I can trust without hesitation.
Will Collier
Dr. Noohi's office has always been good to me in the several years I've been going there. He has always been straightforward, polite, transparent, and effective. Pavel and Desirae are great to talk to and always help me feel more comfortable and they get us through each appointment efficiently. Kendra has always been a huge help in scheduling and billing. She's always polite, flexible, and a pleasure to talk with. This office is a good one, I trust Dr. Noohi and his team and that's what matters most. While I live in DC, I'll be getting my dental care here!
Michael D
Dr. Noohi is a consummate professional who obviously loves his profession and takes great pride in delivering a stellar job! Together with an equally dedicated assistant and office staff, I cannot recommend Dr Noohi highly enough!
Beth S
He is professional and kind.
Tom S
In addition to regular cleanings over the years, I've had Dr Noohi do an implant. His attention to detail is second to none. Patient comfort is a top priority. If you're looking for a regular dentist or a specialist, he's you're man. Absolutely no complaints and highly recommended.
Penney L
Dr. Noohi is by far the best doctor I have ever had! He is a perfectionist and does superb work. Additionally, the classical music in the office is terrific. The most relaxed I ever am at a dentist's office!
Nick G
By far one of the best dentist offices I have ever received services at. The entire team is extremely friendly and professional. Dr. Noohi is extremely kind and genuinely cares about his patients, and his team.
Ann B
He is a knowledgeable and kind dentist who carefully discussed my options re a broken tooth. He is a very gentle dentist and I felt no pain during a 2 hour procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Noohi.
Michael M
Second visit with Dr. Noohi, third time for the practice overall. Was greeted by my name upon my arrival and was seen within seconds after my arrival. Extremely friendly and professional. Had many questions and he took the time to answer them all. Work done was excellent. Will definitely keep coming back.
Susan F.
Dr. Noohi is incredible! I have very sensitive teeth and for all of my cleanings, Dr. Noohi always takes extra time and extra care to help me feel comfortable. He is thorough and professional. When I needed crowns on my front teeth, Dr. Noohi spent countless hours figuring out the perfect shade and shape. I've never had a dentist who cared so much about making me happy with the end result. I am grateful for Dr. Noohi. 🙂
Penney Lagos
Dr. Noohi is undoubtedly one of the best doctors I have ever known. I have been going to Dr. Noohi for over two years for both implant and crowns as well as some other minor dental issues. I had gone to him for a crown about 3 years ago after having an implant with another dr. He recommended I go back to that dr. since he felt that if he put a crown on I would experience issues in a few years. I asked him if he would fix it and he actually said he felt it was only right I go back to my original dentist who, after looking at Dr. Noohi's evaluation, totally agreed with it and proceeded to resolve the problem. Due to Dr. Noohi's excellent diagnostic skills and his ethical behavior I decided to continue my dental work with him. I have sent several friends to him and they all concur. Dr. Noohi will spend whatever amount of time it takes to get it right; he also will advise you if he sees any other issues that may be important to your overall dental health. He always explains everything in detail and follows up after procedures to make sure all is well. Additionally, as someone who has "dentist anxiety," his professional and calming manner go a long way and serve his patients well.
Samantha Joy Fay
The gentlest dental cleaning I've ever had. Dr. Noohi practices state-of-the-art dentistry and walks you through what he's doing every step of the way. He and his staff are so kind and attentive. I couldn't be happier to have found this practice.
Hillary Lassiter
Capitol Hill Dentistry is exceptional, I am so glad I found them when I moved to DC. They get you in and out quickly and have high-quality customer service. I turned 26 and wasn't sure about my dental coverage, and Kendra at the front desk called my insurance and helped sort it out for me. In addition, the parking is paid street parking and Kendra kept an eye on my car during my visit. Needless to say, they are all absolute rockstars. If you're looking for a dentist on Capitol Hill, Dr. Noohi is your guy!
Edward Gardner
Dr. Noohi treated me for extensive restoration, bridge and implant work over a period of 18 months. I have a long and extensive experience with dentists over the years, and I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am by Dr. Noohi's qualifications and integrity. He was the first doctor, after years of inadequate stop-gap solutions, to chart out a clear course of treatment that addressed the underlying problems. Throughout the lengthy process he laid out options and risks and how each would be addressed (including over the long term); and he demonstrated impressive knowledge and professionalism in the explanations he provided, and in his dedication to getting the best possible results for me--both from a medical and an aesthetic perspective. I would trust him unreservedly.
Janice F.
Two photographs,"THEN" & "NOW" would dramatically illustrate how Dr. Noohi greatly changed my life for the better. He gave me excellent, natural-looking teeth, allowing me to EAT & to SMILE. Dr. Noohi is a masterful dentist with a keen, artful gift. I have 3 friends, also his long-time patients (one, a retired dentist!), and we all praise his skill...his assistant, Pavel, is also excellent. A 5-STAR EXPERIENCE
Jim Weber
I have a lot of silver fillings and, as a result, problems with breaking teeth. Dr. Noohi has worked through many problems, from fillings to crowns. He has done so with great care and expertise and the results have been exceptional. I highly recommend him for his professionalism, skill, and level of care.
Willa Prescott
Dr. Noohi and his staff truly go the extra mile for their patients. Amazing dental care and customer service.
Julia Sosnovskaya
"I was extremely satisfied with the service provided by Dr. Noohi and staff. The front desk person & assistant welcomed me with a smile and were very helpful making sure I felt comfortable. The doctor was very attentive and took his time to explain all the procedures that needed to be done. Even though my case was complicated, Dr. Noohi made the whole process smooth and pain free. The result highly met my expectations! I can tell the doctor is extremely experienced, knowledgeable & professional. I would recommend this Doctor to everyone and especially to someone who needs sophisticated dental work."
Christina Osborne
Dr. Noohi was referred to me by my endodontist. Am I ever glad I went to him! I had had a number of root canals and needed crowns. Dr. Noohi was always kind and patient, even when I was frustrated and in pain. He explained each part of a procedure in great detail, and made me very comfortable with everything that was going to happen before doing it. He takes great pride in his work, and doesn't settle for less than he's capable of. My teeth are no longer in crisis, and I have Dr. Noohi to thank for that. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a trustworthy dentist.
Jay P
Always the best. I travel 3 hours to see him.
Fabien Armogathe
I first went to Doctor Noohi because I got a toothache and he identified that I had an infection in my jaw. I had been to a few dentists in Germany and they had my brush better not knowing that I had an infection. He relieved my pain and referred me to an Endodontist to complete the root canal on my molar. He was able to fill the hole in my porcelain onlay and save me several hundred dollars because I didn't have to have a new one made. I have become a patient and asked my wife to to go there to. We trust him and he is very knowledgeable. It's been a year since I first saw him and my tooth is in great shape. Highly recommend him.
Since my first appointment with him, Dr. Noohi has unfailingly been welcoming and thorough. He always goes out of his way to explain what he is doing and answer any questions and he appointments feel like visiting an old friend. The rest of the team is equally friendly and professional. I would and have sent my friends!
John R.
Y'all ROCK !!!! As always - efficient, personable, reliable and just awesome. thanks thanks thanks again for taking care of my snaggletooth emergency and happy holidays!
DuWayne Graham
This dentist was a recommendation from a friend for convenience purposes, as I was looking for a dentist close to my job I could see during my lunch break. I travel about 70 miles each way to and from work, thus resulting in a 4 hour commute everyday . For this reason, I to try and squeeze as much as I can during the week so I can enjoy my weekends. This was definitely my best dental experience since being a child. It's so convenient, about 5 minutes away from my job and ALL of the staff is extremely pleasant, helpful and they were accommodating to my late arrival. Because of the work I needed done, they were willing to split it into two visits to accommodate me. The dental assistant was well versed and schooled me, hipping me to some oral facts that unbeknownst to him, I have adopted. The MEAN, ROUGH hygienist was GREAT!!!! She was VERY informative and thorough. I playful described her as ROUGH because she ENSURED to do a great job...THANKS MUCH! GREAT DENTIST AND WILL BE RECOMMENDED!!!! Thanks for a great experience and many appointments to come...
Char Silberg
Dr. Noohi is a topnotch dentist/prosthosdontist. I sought him out because I needed specialty work on a broken tooth. He's thorough, very communicative, and has the latest in digital x-ray technology and tools. I made the mistake of then going to another dentist for "routine" dental work simply because he was closer to where I live. The "other" dentist told me I needed more crowns than necessary, had outdated equipment and a dingy office. His x-ray technology that didn't show what was happening clearly with my teeth , and on top of it all, started a procedure that I had several problems with. The "second" dentist wasn't available to fix the problem, but Dr. Noohi on very short notice saw me on Christmas eve day because I was leaving the country and had aching pain. Dr. Noohi saved me from work that was incomplete and that would have led to future problems! He takes great care and pride into explaining what his concerns are, and exactly what work he will do to remedy problems. He shows pictures and diagrams to educate the patient. I've never met any dentist who was more thorough and careful in his work. He spends time clearly communicating details in emails. He's also very gentle, yet highly skilled. I completely trust his judgement and his work. I highly recommend him. He's competent, skilled, careful and very smart. And his office is spotless, and his equipment is state-of-the-art. Also, his assistant Paul and office manager, Kendra a good support team. The location is south of Capitol Hill and has street parking.
Kimberly J.
My visit and consultation with Dr. Babak Noohi was fantastic. I was greated by a very warm and inviting man; the doctor. He ask me all about myself to gain a better understanding as to the person I was. He spent great time to understand exactly what I wanted to accomplish with smile. His bedside manner was so warm and inviting and I was able to be open with what I wanted the end result of my smile to be. He is extremely knowledgeable and versed on the many different treatment plans that can be made for his patients. His staff and receptionist are just as professional. The office was inviting, immaculate and very comfortable while I waited to be seen by the Doctor. I was made to feel that his dental practice was happy to have my visit. I left my consultation feeling very happy and optimistic about my future treatment plan and smile. I would recommend Dr. Noohi to all my friends and family without hesitation. He is top in his field.
Bonnie W.
I am not afraid to go to the dentist when I go to see Dr. Noohi. He is very calming and thoughtful. Highly recommend!
Martha M.
Dr Noohi, Paul and Kendra are wonderful . I actually enjoy going to the dentist now. Five Stars!
Sally C.
John R.
Wow wow wow - from the always friendly & efficient & helpful front desk (welcome Jasmine!) to Dr. Noohi's longtime right hand Paul who is awesome in so many ways (responsive, patient, willing to go the extra step) to hygienist Desiree who I didn't see on this visit but always make me laugh and does a great job (and still need to meet Rachel) to Dr. Noohi himself who is beyond attentive and expertly performs procedures that are painless and effective......this is a terrific office from start to finish. And, they have all the modern technological bells & whistles you'd want from a dentist. And, best of all (at least to me!) they do not hesitate to immediately help during urgent dental times -- I have had several veneers unexpectedly break over the years leaving me with a wicked looking gap in my teeth but within hours they had it fixed. I have for years said all the same great praise about Alan Teitzman (the original dentist I saw at this practice) and after his terrible death a few years ago Dr Noohi stepped right in and has continued the outstanding all-around performance of this office.
Jay M.
Dr. Noohi exemplifies exceptional competency and an intuitive sense of his patient's comfort level. He is, quite frankly, the best dental practitioner I have ever encountered. He takes the time to explain things in depth. I am admittedly anxious when it comes to invasive procedures and his calming and perceptive manner always assuages my angst.

Betty Draper Francis didn't have the benefit of the PointsPlus program offered by Weight Watchers and yet there were many similarities in how the topic of weight loss was handled in 1966, the year in which this season is set. Read: Betty Draper, fat or fat suit?
Betty used a food scale to weigh her portions of food that were meager at best. There was a rigid food plan for each day that required members to eat specific kinds of protein, carbs and fats. A list of forbidden things that included all manner of fruits and vegetables deemed too high in starch or sugar were never far from a member's sight.
Weight Watchers' current PointsPlus system has no food items that can't be consumed as long as the allotted daily points total is not exceeded. Vegetables and fruits with few exceptions are given a zero points value and do not count against the daily total.
Food scales and measuring cups are still a member's best friend but the portion sizes are not as small as what Betty was forced to endure in 1966.
Sitting among other women at her meeting, no men in attendance then, Betty and her fellow members spoke of the importance of food in their lives while learning how to have what they called a "bad" day or week without using food for comfort.
As is true today at Weight Watchers, every weekly meeting means getting on the scale and having a weight recorded. Victories are celebrated but those who don't fare well are not made to feel like failures.
During last night's episode, the meeting leader was seen encouraging the ladies to think of times during the previous week that they were able to cope and not veer off the program.
Betty announced that she faced a tough situation that could have set her off course and while it made her feel bad she was able to right the ship.
What she didn't say to the group was that her first act upon arriving home was to grab a can of whipped cream topping from the refrigerator to squirt some into her mouth, only to spit it out in the sink.
The emotional reaction came after Betty picked up the three children from her marriage to Don Draper, Sally, Bobby and Gene, and come face to face with Don's new wife Megan.
The lavish and modern apartment with a view of Manhattan was eye-opening to Betty who shared a typical suburban home with Don and currently resides in a large and expensive home in a very upscale N.Y. suburb. Megan dances and sings for Don to the tune of "Zou Bisou Bisou."
But it was seeing young, lithe Megan that gave Betty the emotional jolt and set the whipped cream episode into motion. As is typical of Betty, she subsequently acted out against former husband Don.
Last night's angry act ultimately hurt her daughter Sally after the youngster learned something about her father about which she was unaware. As the story ends, Betty was gutting out Thanksgiving dinner with her husband Henry Francis and the three children as she faces a plate that is as empty as she feels.
Weight Watchers was founded in 1963 by Jean Niditch, a N.Y. wife and mother. Niditch held meetings in her house. It grew into a large company with meeting locations around the country and was sold to H.J.Heinz in 1978 for a reported $71 million.

Do you think I could just leave this part blank and it'd be okay? We're just going to replace the whole thing with a header image anyway, right?

Pages: 1
Hello you !
In my eternal quest to find the most enjoyable way to build on EE, I am confronted to a big question. Use a software to build, is it cheating or not ?
Of course you can quickly answer the question :
Yes, if you abused,
No, if you controls your dark side,
Yes / No, it depends on the software.
So, I will present a pleasant way to build through software,
It is my first time, and I stop at the middle for the moment.
Here's how I do it :
Step 1
Searching for an image.
I personally use the site "Pinterest". There is a good quality image catalog. Just type a few keywords and paradise of ideas awaits you.
The best thing is to make an board to store images you find nice.
For example, I have a special board for inspirations for my 200x200 worlds.
So, you have to search, test keywords like "architecture", "fantasy", "building", "medieval", "pixel art" ...
And after lose yourself, go to suggestions to suggestions, open tabs.
In this game I can spend hours !
After a while you keep aside a few pictures, then two, then one, and it's gone !
Here is mine:
Step 2
Image processing.
I use the GIMP 2 software, because, it's the same as paint in more convenient with some photoshop stuff.
So no-brainer, it's still easy to use.
So, create a new document,
Size 200x200, white background.
(All screens will be in frenh sorry for that !)
Copy and paste the image into it.
Adjust as you see fit with the scaling tool (hold ctrl to not distort the image).
Fill in black the background
So, here I am with this:
Step 3
First layer.
Open the layers window (Window => dockable window => Layers)
Then create a new layer with a invisible background :
(Layers are your friends, create as much as you need <3)
On this layer I first arranged 42 squares around (I need 42 for this world, kinds of minigames, but that's for the gameplay part if there's one)
I put the square obviously on the building zone of the picture.
After that, nothing more simple, I just link the square while following the buildings already there and putting a little imagination.
I use the pencil size 1 to do that : I draw lines then I fill empty zones.
To draw a straight line hold shift.
I leave arteries exposed to give some dimension to the picture.
And here's the result:
Step 4
Creating an EE palette.
Here we will have to switch to EE, so it's gone, I open a blank world to create a palette.
The goal is to make enough concit, no need to take dozens of blocks.
It is also now I need to think about in game art. So no ugly blocks.
Personally I will do in simplicity, buildings in gray, the heart in red.
Few blocks in gray too much (for later).
Same for the blue and purple that I care for veins (which is marked in red)
Just take a screenshot of the minimap,
Paste it into a new layer. Just keeping the palette and hop !
To simplify my life, I create directly a GIMP palette :
Step 5
First coloring.
I will use the gray color as I did for "Maze Runner".
I'll cover all that gray texture before adding the details of the buildings over (on another layer).
This texture is simple, I use the first three blocks of gray palette.
- The background is with the grey brick texture
- The square are with the basic grey
- I cleared sometimes with the beta block
Some tips to go faster:
- Textures can be copied, areas of 5x5 or 8x8, I copied the maximum as possible!
- Use the brush to paint: for example my texture, it is square 1x1, 2x2 or 3x3, I increase the size of my brush and everything is faster!
- The x800 zoom is cool!
This is the result of background texture for built:
With the heart, put in red to have a global idea of the result :
Aoutch, this still need work ! The heart need a better processing to don't have this weird 3D effect.
Step 6
Construction of buildings.
For need my level, I had to set up 42 small boxes that will host the future system.
Before starting I have to set up all this stuff!
So I can now come furnish all with a style of a lab / factory.
First I put a tint to the edges and a gray background.
After some time, I am finished with the factory buildings :
Step 7
The heart.
To find inspiration, I did some other picture research.
I don't have one picture in particular, I just notice this research to explain how I work when I don't find ideas.
So let's do this heart like a floating island which is in deconstruction !
First, let's drawn the outlines, in a new layer of course. Then I fill it.
For arteries, I use 2 other shades of red to remember what is inside and outside.
Here the result :
I now need to shade this, I'll do the same texture that I did before, but in red.
I'll in more mix more the grey and the red texture.
Here the result :
The art is 90% done now, I just need to do the inside of the boxes, but there'll be minigames, so it's for later !
Step 8
The system.
Do you remember the 42 boxes that I keep for the system ? I have in every box to do this with a different ID for the switch :
But I'm a lazy guy, so I'll not do them by placing every action block one by one. Exept the switch and portals because of the IDs.
To be faster, I'll do like this :
I'll add color for action blocks (boost, time door).
I'll them create on system box, using EE block color (different that I used for my palette).
I'll use green (there's no green in the minimap for the moment), this is the result :
(the red and blue will be removed, it's just to show you the outline)
So now, I copy this 42 times ! Yay !
Result :
So when the level will be copy into EE, I'll just need to use a replacer to change green block into boost, purple into "no curse", and other purple block into time door / gate.
Step 9
First of all, I need to export my picture as PNG (this is important, not jpg).
It's now time to transfert the picture into EE.
First, take EEartist on capasha.com/ (I love this website, good that you come back just when I need you !)
Then launch it and... you know... copy the picture in an empty level, that's not hard !
Step 10
The gameplay.
I'll probably continue this later, but not sure.
After using the machine as a constraint with the perma-block, I saw that we could have fun.
The software used is quite interesting to explore new ways of building level.
Perma-block adds the challenge. But with software as GIMP2, life becomes very simple shot.
Copy and paste, brush size, filling, ordinates palletes like in your dream (take that EE)... I just came back to regret all these stalkers, it's true that in front of the software we feel very lonely.
In short, I suggest you all try, it is convenient if you want to create from an image a world: you have the basic design, you can quickly map out the level, organize everything as well before going into detail.
Now it remains to find another way of experimentation !
Bye you !
I wish you could do stuff like this in game without having to use a third part editor. Making levels would be so much faster if we had commands and tools to fill in large areas, or copy/paste stuff. Anyways, thanks for the ideas, your levels have always been a favorite of mine
Working off of a bot-assisted image - I like it!
Good job! Always helpful for me!
Nice tutorial!
(Also you spelled 'Conclucsion' wrong)
this seems more difficult than actually building it in ee
i'm terrified of what pictures you're going to use in the future
Thank you all
this seems more difficult than actually building it in ee
True, and... false.
The set up is a bit annoying and took time.
To start enjoying the building you need to create your [insert a software (Photoshop, GIMP...)] palette which correspond to the EE blocks, and yes, it's not just slide icons in the toolbar. You also need to create the document, set the background, set the picture you want (not necessary if you don't use a picture)...
Then you can start enjoying to create, and here it's easier than building in EE.
For me, just the differents zooms you can have on the level and the differents brushes simplify life. A lot !
But after that, you have another annoying part, the transfert into EE.
So I don't really know if it's more difficult or not. If you know good how to use these type of software it'll be easier. If not, you'll loose time at the beginning to understand how the machine works.

Sears Bankruptcy: Everything You Need to Know
Is Sears facing bankruptcy in the coming weeks? Leadership is taking drastic measures to avoid it, but what does it mean for shoppers?
The majority of America has shopped at Sears *sometime* in their life. For our younger crowd, it may be a distant memory in which you recall receiving a variety of Christmas gifts with a Sears receipt. However, those in their 30s and older (uh…we mean…wiser) might remember Sears differently. It was where you went to buy your appliances, winter clothes, tools, and even an every day birthday gift. So how did America's most popular box store convert to the finance industry's biggest debt?
is sears facing bankruptcy?
First, the store is facing banks who want major debts paid back. In fact, a handful of banks control a $1.5 billion asset-backed credit line, including receivables from customers who have recently purchased on credit. Why are banks suddenly so nervous? Because $134 million of that is set to be due next week (the 15th of October) and Sears has not reported earning any profits in seven years.
What's Next for Sears?
Mostly, all of us are really unsure what's next for the once-popular store. Bankruptcy filings were expected, but it looks like the company's leadership is attempting to liquidate as much as possible to avoid it. Think: selling the Kenmore brand, selling real estate, and obtaining emergency short-term financing to cover the original creditors.
Sears May survive
However, the company is doing everything it can to stay in business and keep stock prices stable through the holiday season. With 75 days or so left until Christmas, we understand why.
All that being said, if you have a Sears gift card hanging around in your wallet, we suggest cashing in ASAP.

Gnocchi, like homemade pasta, has a plain flavor, but there is a great deal of pleasure in a well-made, cloud-like gnocchi. They are usually sauced lightly, then then are ready to devour.
The major difference with a gnocchi (pronounced "nnn-yoke'-ee,") recipe and a pasta recipe is potatoes, starchy potatoes, low on moisture after cooking make the best gnocchi. The dryer the potatoes, the lighter the gnocchi.
Follow your recipe carefully, paying particular attention to the amount of flour added. Too much will make them heavy, two little, and they will fall apart when simmering. When the gncchi mixture is just right, divide into balls about the size of a tennis ball and gently roll into a "snake" shape. Cut it into inch-lengths, make ridges on them and simmer in small groups until they float. Continue reading

HCC 3:Two challenge Garcia in bid for re-election
Two Houstonians active in community service are attempting to unseat longtime incumbent Herlinda Garcia as trustee for the Houston Community College System's southeast district.
Public relations specialist Diane Olmos Guzman and author Jose De La Isla are trying to end Garcia's 15-year tenure in Hispanic-majority District 3. Both campaigns rely heavily on attacks on Garcia.
"It's time for a change," said Olmos Guzman. "The incumbent has been nonresponsive to the community and divisive on the board. Because of those faults, things necessary for the district are not being implemented."
"The question is what kind of leadership do voters want to address issues in HCCS' southeast district?" asks De La Isla. "Do they want a new set of shoes or old ones that let water in?"
Garcia responded that her opponents have launched bitter campaigns and are making unfounded accusations because they are grasping for issues. She said she has spent plenty of time in the community and wouldn't have been elected vice-chairman of the board if she were divisive.
"We have a lot of momentum going that I want to continue," said Garcia, a school principal who originally was appointed to the HCCS board by the Houston Independent School District board in 1988, then elected in 1991 and 1997. "I want to be around to implement some of the positive change coming."
Garcia cites her experience as an educator as particularly important to the board.
She said her priorities are "better work force and economic development, better job training and retraining." She said HCCS has done well in the area of academics, but "needs to come up with a plan to get our exploding Latino population jobs, then return them to their studies."
Olmos Guzman cites her own experience as a qualification. As a single mother and full-time worker, she went to HCCS at night before transferring to the University of Houston to get her bachelor's degree. She is currently pursuing an MBA from the University of Phoenix.
She ran unsuccessfully for HISD's District VIII trustee position in 1994.
De La Isla said he wants the southeast college to grow and provide more jobs to people in the district. He said he would propose a code of ethics to make the board of trustees more accountable.
De La Isla cites as his top qualification his long resume in education, which includes a stint at the American Association of Junior and Community Colleges and subsequent consulting work for junior colleges. He is the author of the recent book The Rise of Hispanic Political Power.
Olmos Guzman and De La Isla complain that students in the southeast, unlike those in the northwest, aren't taking advantage of the HCCS dual-credit system, in which high school students can earn HCCS credit. Garcia responded that the reasons for that are complex and have nothing to do with the district trustee.
All three candidates favor the $150.8 million general obligation bond referendum on the Nov. 4 ballot.
They agreed that the board should study a recent state audit's recommendation that HCCS reduce the system's colleges from five to three, but none took a position on that proposal.

MMA - make success measurable in three steps!
- Effectiveness means to do the right things.
- Efficiency means to do the right things in the right way.
- Success means productivity is high.
If you do the right things in the right way your productivity rises and you are successful. Sounds rather simple. But how do we know that we do the right things in the right way?
As Robert S. Kaplan, Economist at Harvard University says, "What is not measurable, cannot be controlled".
So each business leader has to ask regularly whether he still does the right things in the right way and reaches a high productivity. That continuous measurement is the core of COP - a continuous optimization of processes.
Multi-Moment-Analysis (MMA) is the o n e instrument to manage COP by making effectiveness and efficiency measurable. There is no way to do this more effectively and more efficiently.

At sunset tonight the Jewish holiday of Purim begins. It is celebrated on the 14th day of Adar, which typically falls in March. It is a joyful and festive holiday; in fact some consider it to be like a Jewish Mardi Gras. Children dress in costumes and make gragers, which are noise makers. Here is a very simple and abridged version of the story of Purim:
Long ago the Jews lived in Persia under the rule of King Ahasuerus. The King was looking for a new wife and he decided on a young woman named Esther. After her parents died Esther was raised by her cousin Mordecai. Esther's cousin suggested she keep her identity as a Jew a secret and she did. The King had an advisor named Haman who was an evil and vain man. He wanted everyone to bow before him but Mordecai wouldn't because the Jewish people only bow before G-d. Haman decided not just to punish Mordecai but to annihilate the Jewish people. He convinced King Ahasuerus that the Jewish people needed to be punished. Haman was casting lots or Purim to decide on the date of the massacre. When Esther discovered what was happening she risked her own life by revealing to the King that she was a Jew herself. The King then executed Haman and the Jewish people were saved.
In order to celebrate the holiday Jews must eat, drink and be merry… what a fun holiday! The book of Esther known as the Megillah is read in synagogue. Whenever Haman's name is mentioned everyone will use their noise makers to drown out the sound of his name. It is also common to give gifts of food and drink. The most common food during Purim are the tasty Hamentaschen treats. They are fruit filled cookies that are shaped in triangles to represent Haman's hat. It is also common to hold plays, parodies and carnivals.

Blue Dasher Farm focuses on research
Many of you may remember Dr. Jonathon Lundgren, a former entomologist with USDA-ARS in Brookings, S.D. Dr. Lundgren spoke at our Panhandle No till Partnership winter conference a few years ago. He is a very enthusiastic and dedicated entomologist, and his passion for his work shows in his presentations. Lundgren was very well received at our conference.
Lundgren recently left the USDA-ARS research center in Brookings to embark on a new career which I think is going to be fascinating to watch as it develops. Lundgren, his wife Jenna, and several of his colleagues from ARS, have struck out on...

Sharpen Up (GB) - Doubly Sure (GB), by Reliance II
Alice Chandler was in England when Diesis won the Dewhurst so impressively that she begged her friend Lord John Howard de Walden to syndicate him as her first stallion at Mill Ridge. It was such a pleasure to have this sire of three English Oaks winners come to Mill Ridge to stand at stud when he retired. Diesis' career was illustrative of Mill Ridge's international influence, providing a foundation with his European connections and success. His career made Mill Ridge proud by producing a high percentage of stakes winners, graded stakes winners, champions and international recognition as a broodmare sire.

|and tamed them with the magic trick of staring into all their yellow eyes without blinking once
Our favourite, favourite though, is tiny Nutshell Library book, Pierre, captioned below with the lines that make J laugh out loud every time.
|They pulled the lion by the hair.
They hit him with the folding chair.
"Young children don't amble or saunter, they goose-step. Only Sendak noticed that. They seem to have no knees, the Sendak kids, or more probably they refuse to bend them - it's hard enough work just staying upright, maintaining your centre of gravity. And their creator was a child in the age of the European dictators; he's endowed his creations with a lesson learned, namely the use-value of clomping, making an outsized noise..."

The countdown is on, people.
The first annual Movement Mission performance is just weeks away. EEEK. February 7 and 8 we take the stage for three performances only. Have you bought your tickets yet?? (DO IT.)
The funny thing about shows is that you always think you have SO MUCH TIME. I mean, we started rehearsals last summer. That was an eternity ago. But all of a sudden, it's crunch time. Costumes to buy. Choreography to finish. And tired (tired!) bodies.
This week I couldn't stop smiling through rehearsal. All this women are so beautiful. Sometimes I want to pinch myself. That such an eclectic group of strangers could come together to produce so much beauty is beyond me.
As the shows get closer, the weight of not only being a dancer, but being a first time choreographer is setting in. Choreographing is terrifying for a few simple reasons.
What if no one understands the story?
What if I haven't been a very good teacher?
What if we just look…well, stupid? (I mean, it could happen.)
No different from other forms of art, it's horrifying to lay a piece of yourself out for the public to chew up and spit out. But at some point you have to let it go. Just like the quote says, there comes a point when the pain of staying closed up and held tight is worse than the pain of letting go and blooming (extremely rough paraphrase by moi.)
Regardless, I'm so happy and proud to be telling this story I've been carrying around for a few years. It's like a part of me has come to live in the world. I can't wait. I better see you there (yes, you.)
And while I can't give you an actual sneak peek, I thought I'd give you a little taste of what's to come. Here's our song! I'm a sucker for acoustic music and I love me a chick rocker.

Morning Service
Main auditorium
Evening Service
Lower Hall
Sundays at Church
(WHEN NOT IN COVID_19 LOCKDOWN) We have two Sunday services each week and each one lasts about an hour and a half. We know that it's not always easy visiting a church for the first time however, we're a friendly bunch of people and you can be certain of a warm welcome! Our services are relaxed and informal. You don't need to come dressed in your 'Sunday best' (unless you really want to.) Just wear whatever you feel comfortable in.
Although it may vary, a typical Sunday morning service usually goes something like this:
- We start off the morning at 10am with coffee, tea and biscuits in our coffee house. This gives us time to chat and relax together.
- Our meeting usually starts with some worship (song singing) with a live band. Our young people and children stay with us for the first 20 minutes or so and then go to their own age related activities (Check out our Youth and Children's pages to find out more).
- We often have church notices and an offering will usually be taken – however, please don't feel that you have to give anything. We don't want your money – we're just glad that you are here! Let the collection plate go past.
- We listen to a talk for about 20-25 minutes where we learn about how God's word impacts our lives today. We may also take communion (bread and wine.)
- We have a prayer team who will be happy to pray with you if you want prayer for anything.
- After the meeting, we chat and share friendship together and sometimes we have a family lunch.
Our Sunday evening service follows a very similar format to the morning one, except without the Children's activities.
What's Going on Midweek?
We have a huge range of activities going on every day for all ages.

Long-term scientific
forecasts confirm that diesel engines still will be the basis of the transport
and stationary power in the near future. This is explained by their high
efficiency and profitability compared to other types of heat engines. In the
automotive industry carried basic researches are aimed at creating a new
generation of diesel engines with reduced exhaust emissions (with stable
performance) determining the minimum impact on the environment. The application
of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) and especially their modifications based on
semitransparent ceramic materials allows solving this problem. For such
researches the preliminary stage of testing of physical characteristics materials
and coatings especially with semitransparent properties the authors proposed
experimental operating innovative
radiative-and-convective cycling
simulator. This setup contains original radiation sources (imitator) with
tunable spectrum for modeling integral flux up to several MW/m2.

The Frame-Up, Meghan Scott Molin
I received this book from Amazon's First Reads program.
I very much loved this quirky new book by Meghan Scott Molin. I haven't been inclined to order any book for the past new First Reads, but this month THE FRAME-UP spoke to me. So glad it did.
In this modern detective novel, we follow MG, a writer for a comic book company, who inadvertently gets roped into solving a crime that seems cut out of the pages of her favorite comics. She teams up with the (cute) detective, and all of her geeky knowledge is put to the test in order to catch this devious culprit.
I found myself laughing out loud at some of Molin's references - from Doctor Who, Harry Potter, LOTR, and countless other fandoms, many of which went over my head. But those I caught, I delighted in. MG feels like a very real girl caught in a slightly unbelievable series of events. I recommend this book highly to those fans of detective stories, fandoms in general, or those who just want to lose themselves in some good ole fashioned fun.

The following are among ASTA's legislative priorities at the state level:
- Noxious Weesd
- Seed Treatment
- Biostimulants
- Hemp
- Regulatory Funding
- Consistency of State Laws and Regulations
Noxious Weeds
An ASTA Working Group was established to address the rapid expansion of noxious weed listings at the state level. Working Group objectives are to create metrics for economic impact of new weed seed requirements. Develop a comparison of state noxious weed seed laws and encourage seed industry participation in state noxious weed rule-making.
Seed Treatment
ASTA is leading proactive engagement at the state level to protect the treated article exemption in coordination with CLA.
ASTA is a part of a national coalition on biostimulants being coordinated by the Biostimulant Coalition (BSC) and Bioproducts Industry Association (BPIA). ASTA's priority is to improve the efficiency of state regulations for biostimulant seed treatments to enable the interstate movement of treated seed.
ASTA will convey the following policy position in response to any state legislation.
- Seed supply sourcing should only include free market accessibility from commercial production.
- The Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies standards for production of industrial hemp seed should be used for all production to ensure quality and differentiation between hemp and marijuana because of the difficulty in differentiating between the two crop seeds.
- Interstate transportation rules should be clarified to eliminate the disparate and confusing standards on commerce for hemp seed and plant shipments.
- How to Read a Label on a Bag of Hemp Seed
- Laws, Regs & Other Considerations when Buying Hemp Seed
- Best Management Practices for Hemp Seed Production
Regulatory Funding
Adequate funding for state seed regulatory programs, and supporting labs, continues to erode. The seed industry as a whole is committed to delivering quality seed to agricultural growers and it strives to maintain complete integrity throughout the supply chain. The seed industry advocates adequate funding to ensure a comprehensive, proficient and technologically current state regulatory system, including the use of appropriate state seed licensing fees. Consistency of state laws and regulations.
Consistency of State Laws and Regulations
Primary to ASTA's state legislative agenda is to ensure that state regulations relating to the seed industry remain consistent between the states. This allows for smoother interstate trade, equalized competition, and elimination of unnecessary, duplicative and burdensome regulations.

To understand Christmas you must first understand the GrumbleMeister and his henchmen of evil bankers called the Grumblemkind. GrumbleMeisters hate to work. They really really hate to work. So instead they came up with a system of loaning to others invisible money. The money didn't exist but they were liars and said it did. Other townsfolk would come with their "check" and say "Ok pay me" but the GrumbleMeister would fool them. He'd say "Well I COULD pay you right now, or, you can deposit that check BACK into my BANK and over time it will magically make more money." The townspeople thought this was strong magic indeed so over time all the townspeople began to take the GrumbleMeisters check back to him and open accounts. Thinking that the people would grow suspicous, the GrumbleMeister used his secret staff of Madoff and created "interest" that is magical money that doesn't exist. And then he wrote down letters to each person with an account and declared they had earned for doing nothing, the same sickness he had, free money.
"What's money!" the townspeople cried out?
"Well", said the GrumbleMeister, That check that Fred the baker gave you, its a receipt to come to my Bank for money right?"
"That's Right" said the townsperson.
"Well instead of taking your money OUT of my bank, I will give you smaller checks in simple units of one, five, ten and twenty. A twenty will be one ounce of gold, a ten will be worth half an ounce of gold, a five a quarter ounce of gold and so on. A one coin will be worth an ounce of silver, A half coin will be worth half an ounce of silver, and a quarter coin will be worth a quarter ounce of silver. So you see, you never need the original check once you give it back to me, you can have these common notes."
"What will we do with the common notes?" asked the townspeople.
"That's the beautiful thing, you can trade it between yourselves!" said the GrumbleMeister. "I will keep all the real money safe for you."
And so the townspeople were given the gift of money. Soon everyone was pricing their items not in gold and silver, but GrumbleNotes.
But the GrumbleMeister wanted more money. Since the Townspeople didn't produce but a few loaves of bread a day, he wanted a way to take all their money for a lifetime. So he began to offer loans to the townspeople using money he didn't have. He simply printed more notes as many as they wanted. Since few people came to him with real gold and silver anymore, all money was produced from these loans – debt, and the debt kept increasing year after year.
Still the GrumbleMeister wasn't happy. So he and his family went to every country and set up more banks. And they began to loan money to kings to make beautiful palaces. The kings were low on gold and the people would revolt if he raised taxes, but once he switched them to money he could simply borrow what he needed.
Still the GrumbleMeister wanted more. So he told one king that the other king was plotting a war against him. Then he told the other king the same thing. The first king put troops on the border. Then the GrumbleMeister told the other king "see see… look at those troops, he is planning an invasion!" Once enough troops were on each side of the border, the GrumbleMeister sent dark hooded GrumblemKind to attack both sides then return to the center where they quietly slipped into the darkness. In the morning to his delight, both sides were fighting against each other. Soon they ran out of supplies and each king came to him and said "Oh GrumbleMeister, we are in a difficult war, can you loan us more money so we can win it? Surely if you loan us a billion dollars we will beat them" "Why of course I will" said the GrumbleMeister, knotting his boney fingers. The net day, the other king seeing the first kings new shiny weapons and armor came to their countries Grumble and said "The other king has vast resources, we cannot win without your help can you loan us ten billion dollars?" "Why but of course I will, I am your friend"
Can you guess what happened the third day? The first king came back in a panic! "Oh GrumbleMeister I was a fool even with your money the other side has ten times as many swords as we do. Can you loan us more money!" Why of course! the Grumblemeister replied. And on and on it went until nearly everyone was dead.
When each country was exhausted and out of gold the Grumblemeister along with a group of Grumblemkind would gather up suits and ties and briefcases and approach the kings. "Your lordship, your treasury is out of gold from the long wars. If you make US your bank for the whole nation and declare that everyone must use our money, we will loan you even more" The king was delighted at this turn of events. And soon the law was announced, only GrumbleNotes could be used and any other people who tried to use any other would be shot. Anyone who bought or sold gold or silver had to pay a TAX to the king. They had to pay the tax both when they bought the gold, and when they sold it. Although small – 15-20 percent, very soon people realized they would lose money if they tried to exchange gold instead of using grumblenotes. When people tried to set up communities which freely exchanged gold or silver the government called them counterfeiters and locked them up.
Since all the money was debt, and townspeople could only get it by borrowing and every king borrowed it, and each time you needed more to pay it off, the amount of debt kept increasing year after year until finally in order to allow the king to keep paying they had to lower the interest rate on the loans to near zero percent. Once this happened, the country was effectively bankrupt. And the Grumblemeister came back to talk to the king.
"You have so much debt, I no longer trust you to pay it. What do you give me as collateral?"
The king sighed. "But you already own everything? What can i possibly give you."
"I want the blood of your people, a guarantee of all their earnings and their children's earnings, for all time. Only then will I not collapse your country"
Sadly, the King was forced to sign the law, and in 1933 all children born were issued stock certificates on their birth and the numbers given to the Grumblemeister. Every person was given a number and on the back of their card with the number was their debt contract which stated the Grumblemeister deserved half their earnings for their entire life to secure the debt.
The people got poorer and poorer and more angry. When new people tried to be king and abolish the debt system they simply faked the elections and hired more soldiers. They gave them huge tanks and more guns than you can imagine. The townspeople soon had no way to fight back.
Then one year, SinterKlaus came. And into each of the children's stockings which hung by the fire to dry he placed a small coin, one of silver and one of gold, depending on how naughty they were. Bad kids got lumps of coal. Sinterklaus sang a song as he did this "Silver and Gold, Silver and Gold, how can you measure it's worth?" They called him Saint Clause because he insisted, there could be no real contract from the people without their signature, or SinterKlaus for short. In fact, the entire IOU was a fraud. The people had never agreed to it.
With silver and gold the townspeople began to exchange their services directly for the things they built. And soon there was some wealth again so they bought the children presents. And on the first Christmas all the children laughed and played for the first time in many years.
But once the Grumblekind found out about it, he banished Sinterklaus to the north pole in Switzerland, the only place left on earth where they still use silver and gold, a place high up in the mountains covered in snow. And he imprisoned him inside a massive fortress called the Bank of International Settlements, the biggest bank of all. But when Sinterklaus got there he was shocked, because within there vaults, there was no gold left at all, just pieces of paper and on each was written "I O U". In their madness and greed the bankers had spent even all their own gold. There was nothing left at all which backed the "money" they had given the townsfolk and if the townsfolk ever knew about it they would revolt. Sinterklaus built a huge sleigh and trained a group of reindeer to fly so he could escape. He carefully collected all the silver and gold things which remained around the palaces and put them in a big sack and then flew back to town. The bankers screamed "We've been robbed We've been robbed!"
When Sinterklaus landed back in the town he told the people the sad truth. That there was no gold backing any of their money anymore it was all debt now. He handed out the gold and silver to the people so the smiths could beat them back into gold and silver coins. The people took the Grumblemkind bankers and threw them into the bog of endless inflation which swallowed them up and they drowned in the money which they had produced and sold to everyone. When the last Grumblemkind was thrown out of the town the people cheered and soon everyone had money again and the children got presents every year.
Now each December 25th we remember the spirit of Sinterklaus and cover our trees with silver tinsel and gold lights, and put silver ribbons on presents to teach our children about the importance of silver and gold. And Sinterklaus? Now he is called Saint Claus, or the saint of contracts. Rumor has it every December 25th he chases round and round the world, hunting the GrumbleMeister with his fierce pack of reindeer. The GrumbleMeister keeps running and getting ever more worn and tattered, and each town he goes to he asks them if they will let him set up a bank and give out his paper notes. But every town with smart children who like presents says no. Does your town use gold and silver, or does it say "Note" on your money? Look in your wallet and see if there will be a bright Christmas or if you live in a town that got greedy and gave in to the GrumbleMeister.
[ Please forgive me for straying for the articles which ACTUALLY discuss the truth of something, but it's christmas and well this seemed more appropriate. For the real truth about Christmas it all comes down to the story of some brown skinned people who were so backward that they were going to sell their daughters into prostitution because they didn't have money for a dowry. Can you imagine that outside of America women are seen as so useless that to marry them you actually have to pay off the men? Crazy I know. Well, Ol saint nick helped these ladies out by ponying up the money for their three dowries so they could be proper ladies. Makes me wonder if he didn't have a hand in the goods in the first place. But the spirit of free giving, a EUROPANIC notion, was born. And no, that 1960s murderer who invented KWANZA just doesn't compare to good ol santa. Community and goodness is a EUROPANIC custom and we developed it because we needed to bond together as a people to get through the scarcity of winter as the ice age receded. This is where our Christmas spirit comes from. But races which evolved in the tropics did not develop this, and instead often are more lose family and warlike at the community level. And from this, we get welfare babies without fathers and endless warlords in Africa today. I always feel that if you want to truly experience the christmas spirit, go to the northern European countries – Germany yes, but much better so in Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, and Helsinki. The spirit of free giving helped our people survive and organize into nations, but now, that same genetic altruism is destroying us as we try to help brown and african peoples but instead they are having endless births and then fleeing their destroyed homelands and invading europe and the USA. China does not have this problem (ok technically there are a few tiny minorities but they are not being invaded on a large scale). The great horror is that the native people are taxed to death to pay for the invaders and deadbeats. It's that simple. So its quite complex and challenging to find a solution to all this but the first step is raising awareness and the second is to throw the bums out of office. But America has cultivated so many dumb people who don't have a clue what's going on, the minority that does – the Ron Paul supporters – can't win and overturn rigged elections. What's next is state succession but I can tell you this. The first nation to recognize a homeland for bright hard working europanics and no one else will take off. And you can bet the jewish bankers will start a world war to make sure it isn't allowed to exist just like they did to Hitler. Of course the Jews demand the right to an ethnically pure homeland, forbid jewish marriage to non-jews, etc. It is a bit ironic that israel is now flooded with the same African hoodlums that were taught by the jews to seeks handouts in better countries than the hell holes they tend to produce. If all this sounds a bit racist well ask yourself if the world does or does not have different races of people. If it's an attribute that we can measure and classify, then why is it wrong to use that to understand what is going on in the world? They say that it is because skin color is skin deep but we know that is not the case at all genetics clearly impacts so much – althetic abilities, are you a sprinter or weight lifter, are you calm or violent, are you dull or smart, that it's just foolish to consider all this and consider race just a color. Now racism, real racism, is prejudice based not on the facts. Whereas the scientific use of racial characteristics is not prejudice since it is always a discussion of true measures of the group expression. Science. What is observable. Facts. Testing Hypothesis. Why do we suddenly throw away everything man has learned to do when it comes to Race? Because the violent destructive races will become upset that their IQ doesn't measure up, that's such a powerful secret that we cannot tell them? But it's ok for them to become our great basketball players and jazz musicians, but it's not ok for europanics to be praised for great math and physics? And mixed martial arts? Sorry I don't agree. If you understand that Africans evolved in a environment of abundance and did not develop the long term planning, altruism, or close knit families of the Europanics, then you can change social policies to HELP them more. We can stop dysgenic welfare policies that teaches 14 year old girls to start having babies so they will have enough of them to get free housing by the time they are 18. We can stop breeding the dumbest and worst of them and start giving out incentives for the jazz musicians, the greats spokesmen (I'm sorry no Europanic can do what Reverend Manning can!). It is our blindness to race that has wasted trillions on the great handout and education. Why don't lower IQ children get schools that teach auto repair and other trades like they do in Germany? Forcing every kid to learn calculus only makes some fail and end up useless in society and lets face it every kid is not designed to be a rocket scientist! Why is being a jazz musician wrong or less noble? What's wrong with being a great cook? Instead we create thousands of kids who fail and then think it's racism that's causing it – it can't be IQ because that's not allowed to be discussed – and turn to violence and hatred. In a way they are right it is racism, it's the racism that denies reality and science and discussion of race. That is the true racism. Maybe this Christmas we should LOOK at each others race, realize what we do and don't do well and move towards a better happier nation. This is a vision to bring people out of poverty and suffering, not the hatred and endless handouts that Africans and invaders would tell you, and that's the true spirit of Christmas. As Manning says, keep the faith.]

There is nothing quite as fun as planning and going on a picnic. Here are five creative ways to pack up the basket and/or the cooler and head outdoors to bond with family and friends.
This one is my favorite I do believe, the Doodle Picnic. It is a great way to access your inner doodler while enjoying a pretty day.
And if you are taking your family along, here is a great list of ways to ensure successful fun for all , including sports, fun and tie dyeing family tees.
I love the table setting for this one!
Family Picnic Fun With Teens and Tweens
If you want to make a difference and leave a little love behind, the Happy Rocks picnic plan is a good one complete with poetry.
Craft Picnic Outings are great fun. Here is one that we took to the zoo complete with lunch and creative ideas for crafting with kids in a public place to create a little down time.
You can even create a fun picnic when going to the pool. Just pack that basket with Duck Tape!
Got any other fun picnic ideas? I would love to hear about them.

There are many recipes out there for making your own ice cream at home, but did you know that you can make your own ice cream in five minutes using two Ziploc bags?
Here's what you'll need for this experiment:
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup milk, cream, or half and half
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (or other flavoring)
6 tablespoons salt
Enough ice to fill the gallon-sized bag halfway
1 gallon-sized Ziploc bag
1 pint-sized Ziploc bag
Ordinary table salt will work, but salt that has larger crystals, such as kosher salt or rock salt, will work much better. Mix the salt around in the ice and set aside.
Make sure the pint bag gets buried in the ice. Seal the gallon bag. Shake the bags vigorously for five minutes. You might want to use a towel to hold them, since they will be very cold and slippery from condensation.
Milk will provide a less rich, lower calorie ice cream, while using heavy cream will have the opposite effect.
This method will make a small amount of ice cream, about enough for two people to enjoy. Experimenting with other methods can allow you to make more. One version uses two coffee cans of differing sizes instead of plastic bags.
Flavor combinations are almost limitless. Chocolate syrup is a basic option, while various flavor extracts available in your grocery store's baking section can lead to more exotic variations. Try combining mint extract with chocolate, or adding small chocolate chips.
