MagicianMan5 stood in the Room of Crack-Pairing Tables. He rolled on the Initial Table twice and summoned Haley and Vaarsuvius.
"Huh?" said a bewildered Haley.
"What in the blasted infernal Hells is going on here?" said an annoyed V.
"You are in the Room of Crack-Pairing Tables." Said MM5.
"Ugh, not this crap again!" Said Haley, really pissed now.
"Unfortunatly,"agreed V," I must agree with Ms Starshine, i am still weary from having to pretend to like that annoying drow, Zz'dtri."
"Well, i'm just giong to see how this plot will unfold with another roll of the 20d." he rolled on the Random Event Table, while V and Haley made a dive to stop him.
"Nooo!" Exclaimed Haley as the die rolled across the table.
"Damnation!" shouted V as the die slowed to a stop, landng on three.
"So, you two get to be in this room, with die, magic tables, and drunk. this should be fun to watch, you know, from a safe distance." And saying so, he walked out the door, with a twirl of his cape, locked the door, and watched as the two people went crazy inside and summoned up people and things they didnt even know, and everyone they did know, with every single event on the table. and after the party ended, everyone passed out, and disappeared back to their own world, seeing as its nearing the end.
"Wow," said MM5 afterwards, "that was much more fulfilling than playdrake, and with twice as many bad plot jokes."

There are many businessmen who travel all the time, dealing with customer and clients from different parts of the world. This can be quite stressful, especially if you do not find a satisfactory place to stay in the new city. As a traveler, you would want to ensure that the hotel where you book a room offers all the necessities and is well equipped to make your business trip more comfortable and productive.
It is important that you choose the best hotel, which caters to all your needs and enhances your overall experience. Here are some of the basic hotels amenities that you need to consider while choose one:
1. Location: The first and foremost thing, which you need to consider while opting for a hotel is its location. It could be frustrating it you are put up in a hotel which is miles away from your meeting place and there are no proper modes of transport to get there. It is quite important that the place where you are staying is well connected through road, train and bus. It is of no use if you are in a cheap hotel and have to spend a fortune on traveling to and fro. Thus, it would be great if you book a room close to your workplace.
2. Price: if you are a frequent traveler, then you would certainly know that the cost of the trip could easily mount up, especially when you need to rent rooms in hotels for couple of nights. In other words, you need a place to stay, which offers their services for affordable price. You also need to find a hotel that does not hit your with extra charges for being a single traveler.
3. Comfort: Long traveling hours and at work could ruin your health and sleep. Since you spend 2 to 3 hours on the road and 8 to 9 hours at wok, it could end up in a stressful business trip. Once you are back to your hotel, the least you can expect is a clean room and a comfortable bed, including a few luxuries such as hot coffee or a glass of wine. It is suggested that you go through the customer review before you opt for a cheap hotel and make sure it is decent enough to offer a comfortable staying experience.
4. Facilities: A free WIFI would always be the best preference for all the business travelers. Other types of facilities such as hygienic food and a small cozy place to drink and relax in the evening after work could be added benefits. Apart from well equipped and spacious rooms, it would be better to look for some more extra facilities like cell phone charger, good lightening, good ventilation and pleasant atmosphere.
5. Parking: Before making a reservation, check if the hotel has good parking facilities for free or at much cheaper price, as you would not want to waste your time looking for a parking space outside the hotel. Parking elsewhere could sometimes be risky, as there is not security of your vehicle.
Besides these, you can also look for the below mentioned facilities while booking a room, in case you are on a long business trip:
- Comfortable chairs and tables for office work
- Internet access
- Good lightening especially near the bed, tables and chairs in your room
- Free local-calls
- Notary in-house services
- Timely food or coffee service
- Room services anytime
- Quick turnaround shoe shine, pressing, dry cleaning
- Beauty salon
- Gym services and many more
There are also some hotels that have added facilities like fitness centers, swimming pools, bars and 24hours restaurants.

Growing in Unity- Day 5! Warning: Photo Heavy :)
I was going to share a new project today using a brand new Unity set...and I will, but not today! :) Instead, I decided to take a look back at my journey with Unity and went looking for pics from some of my favorite Unity projects over the years! These go back as far as 2008 and some are still some of my favorite projects ever!
Do you ever look back at your old projects & think of how much you've changed over the years? It was fun to go looking through hundreds of projects & I found some I laughed at- but lots that I still love!
Here ya go:
Thanks so much for joining me in my GIU week! I hope you all work on some great Unity projects you can look back on years from now!
Remember- leave a comment today and every day from this week for your chance to win an Itty Bitty of your choice! I'll leave it open through midnight Saturday and than draw a winner, thanks!
Hugs- Kelly

My journey towards Cambridge started in earnest during my Honours year (2015). Honours in Physics at Adelaide has coursework and research components. In the first semester, I started my Honours project with Tony Williams and Martin White as supervisors; both are researchers in theoretical physics at the University of Adelaide. The options for a topic were fairly broad. I wanted to do something which had elements from many different fields in theoretical physics: analytical, computational, theoretical, particle or astrophysical. They introduced me to Soumya Rao, a post-doc who among other things researches a special model of dark matter where the particles have an electric or magnetic dipole moment. He wanted to combine his models with a new paper released the previous month (Vincent et. al. 2015) which suggested it may be detectable in the sun. Martin recognised one of the authors with whom he collaborates regularly and arranged for us to get in contact with Pat Scott (Imperial College London) and Aaron Vincent (Durham University). The first half of the year was spent confirming that there would be some form of measurable effect, through a mix of theoretical calculations and elementary simulations. In this time, I even found a crucial error in their work, which they have since fixed (Vincent et. al. 2016). On top of this, I was also studying coursework and doing a bit of first-year demonstrating on the side.
Also at the beginning of the year, I began sitting on the Office of Learning and Teaching Expert Panel. Backtracking, the previous year I had received a phone call from the office of Christopher Pyne (the then-education minister) asking me to submit a resume for a position on a "board". I obliged, and hadn't given much more thought to it until December, when waiting in the Qantas lounge after the flight I had been on was overbooked, received a call inviting me to join the Office of Learning and Teaching as a student representative. I happily obliged, and the first meeting was in Canberra in late March. I began quite flummoxed with the technical jargon and background of the national university system, but quickly cottoned on to the purpose of the OLT: to disseminate grants and awards to university teachers across the country to encourage best practice teaching. I would later attend another 5 meetings in Sydney and Melbourne throughout the year and more into this year, but it was all thrown into turmoil after the program was cut in the 2015 budget after we had had just one meeting.
Also in late April, I gave up my role as president of AUScA after two terms, and it was dutifully filled by Brittany who turned her secretarial skills into managerial ones in a very effective way. I moved into the treasury portfolio to stay involved and help prepare the new committee. Nevertheless, I didn't need to do much because she was starring in her new role.
The semester came and went very quickly (time flies when bogged down in Data Analysis assignments) and towards the end of exams, I began to contemplate what I would do next year. Having spent time in England and knowing the prestige of institutions like Cambridge, I wanted to give myself a challenge. I emailed my supervisor Martin, who had previously done his PhD in Cambridge, and that sent the ball rolling. During the mid-year break, he spent some time in England and Cambridge and floated the idea to a number of academics there, who apparently (according to Martin) were impressed. He seemed pretty confident I could get in, which helped, though there was the major issue of how to pay the high course and living fees.
I attended, with about 50 or so other prospective hopefuls, a seminar on prestigious scholarships which included the Gates Scholarship (for Cambridge) the Rhodes Scholarship (for Oxford), the Fullbright Scholarship (for America) and the John Monash Scholarship (for anywhere but Australia). The first one due was the John Monash, an arduous application requiring about 2,500 words of prose about future careers and 'benefit to Australia', which is very hard to write without sounding (or feeling like sounding) narcissistic. Having applied, and coerced some referees to write references, I managed to get a state-level interview. I hadn't interviewed properly for a long time, and was in hindsight perhaps a little overwhelmed by it all. I did all right, but wasn't quite up to the required standard and didn't make it through to the national round, but only just.
Late July was a period of downturn. I had been going pretty much non-stop since the beginning of the year, and my motivation was starting to wane. There was a week or so when much of the rest of my office was away at a conference that I hardly got any work done at all. It started to pick up, however, when the new semester started. I finally got the package in August, and began to run code in earnest throughout September and October. I wrote up my thesis, submitted all of my assignments, and had a week or so of proof-reading at the end. During this time, I submitted my application to Cambridge. I had written an application form for Imperial College London, but didn't end up submitting it. The application form for Cambridge included sections applying for the Gates Cambridge and Cambridge Trust scholarships, which I had been considering for an extended period but ended up settling on a much-abbreviated version of my John Monash application. I also submitted an application to the University of Adelaide, as a back-up.
I submitted my thesis at the end of October, and sat my final exams through November. The final assessment was an interview with a panel of 5 academics where we each had to defend our work. I knew mine back-to-front and the format suited me well, and I was awarded the HS Green prize for the highest mark in the theory class.
Now that the Honours year was over, I could finally relax, though the forthcoming year was laced with uncertainty. In early November, I was invited to an informal Skype interview with potential supervisors from the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge to assess my character and suitability for a PhD there. It was a rather relaxed affair, much like talking to an academic supervisor. Apparently I impressed them, because on the 25th of November, not two days after my thesis interview, I received a conditional offer of admission to the University of Cambridge. I was very excited; potentially months of uncertainty had been cut short. Nevertheless, I still accepted my Adelaide offer as well, because I had no idea whether I could get a scholarship to afford to study in the UK. Things progressed well into the summer. In early December I was offered a position at Darwin College, a graduate only college. Going into the new year, I still needed to secure funding and approached it with a sense of nervous trepidation. I refused to get too excited for fear of not being able to secure funding, much to the ire of those around me.

Not all wedding venues have in-house restaurants, I have chosen to work with some of the very best caterers in Tuscany, that provide a top quality service, amazing food and great wines. As I use these caterers regularly I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed with the food or the cost on your wedding day.

Hair & Makeup
If you want to look like a princess for your big day then you'll need the services of great hairdressers and make-up artists. And if you or your guests fancy a massage, manicure or pedicure before the big day I can organize that for you too.
As Shakespeare said "If music be the food of love play on" to complete your wedding ceremony or wedding party you can chose from a wealth of very talented musicians, sopranos, tenors, classical guitar, harp, pianist, jazz bands, bands and groups that play your favourite tunes and DJs or if you just want to hook your ipod up for your favourite tunes then you'll need a sound system.

I can recommend Tuscan wedding venues that I use and know will work really well for your big day. Once you have your short list it's always good to come out for a visit and see the venue first hand, no matter how many venues you chose to see I'll personally take you out to see them all, give you the low down on each venue so the only difficult thing that you need to decide is which venue suits you best. If your wedding party aren't staying at the wedding venue then I can also recommend accommodation to suit all budgets for your guests too.
Before your wedding in Tuscany, where possible, I'll collect your documents from the Consulate so all you have to do is turn up for the pre-wedding verbal hearing and I'll accompany you to do nice things like hair and make-up trials, leaving you free to soak the sunshine and spend time with your guests who have travelled to be with you.

What was an unexpected expense you had when moving off campus?
9 Answers
Transportation is large expense if you cannot walk/bike to campus from where you live! However, universities sometimes collaborate with local transportation like subways/trains/buses to get discounted passes to students!
Honestly, I found the sheer amount of store trips for necessities to be unexpected! In a house of 6 people we have to go buy eggs, cheese, and toilet paper very frequently. In these situations, sometimes it's better for everyone to buy their own supplies instead of sharing.
I would definitely say utilities. Right off the bat electric and the A/C and heat shocked me and I had to learn really fast to manage the electric and other utilities better!
Francine F. from UC Santa Cruz
Utilities! I had no idea how fast those racked up, especially the water bill. My roommates and I would fight over how long of showers we could take, and one of them would never let us run the heater because of the gas bill going up.
Brittany L. from Temple
Kitchen supplies was the most unexpected expense I had. I was used to a fully stocked kitchen with all the necessary utensils when living with my parents. There were multiple times I needed something little, like a knife sharpener or a colander and didn't have it. Cleaning supplies was also another expense such as paper towels and cleaning spray.
Julia D. from UC Santa Cruz
Certain cleaning appliances like a vacuum, broom and dustpan, as well as smaller items like other folks mentioned including sponges and dish soap, toilet brush (yikes), replacement shower curtains for when the bottom gets moldy, etc. These expenses add up, but again, if you live with other people, try to split the cost of these items so that you don't have to drop a lot of money on these non-exciting but absolutely necessary items!
Christine A. from USC
When I first moved off campus, I wasn't anticipating the cost of all the little things you need when moving into an apartment that you might not have had in a dorm. For me this included toilet paper, hand soap, cleaning supplies for the bathroom and kitchen, dishes and dish soap, and paper towels. If you have roommates, sharing and splitting the expense definitely helps. You might also want to buy from cheaper brands to keep the cost down!
Utilities! I ran my AC all the time in my dorm, but as soon as I moved to an apartment, I learned very quickly how expensive that can be. Definitely factor utilities into your budget every month. And then be conscious about how long your showers are and maybe invest in some box fans? Hope this helps!
Elana G. from Ohio State
Funny as it sounds: toilet paper! Living in a dorm, you're usually not responsible for supplying your own TP, but when you move off-campus, that's an absolute necessity and it's rarely cheap. Try to go for the more inexpensive brands or look for coupons to help offset the costs. You can also buy in bulk since toilet paper doesn't go bad and it may save you some money in the long run.

One of the things I've wanted to write about recently is the fire on Second Avenue and East 7th Street. Not the fire itself so much, but my thoughts, prompted by the fire. It's not a topic for East Village Today though, so I didn't write it there, but since I'm inspired to write here again, I'll take up this topic.
One of the things I've been thinking about is the terrible condition of so many of the buildings in this neighborhood. They were substandard when built, in the late 19th century, and they're in even worse condition today. Any one of them could burn up the way the four buildings did on Second Avenue that day — and it wouldn't take a gas line explosion to ignite them.
Some, however, are clearly in worse shape than others. I started taking pictures of buildings that probably would go up quickly if they caught fire.

Acquired: Rescue / shelter group
Gender: Female
By Deano123
24250, France
Posted Feb 14, 2015
Blanchette was one of two goats that we acquired, effectively rescuing them from somebody who had rescued them herself but could no longer look after them.
Blanchette jumped out of the back of the vehicle on arrival and looked quite lively.
"What have we done?"
Her age, however, meant that she was not the nightmare that people had assured us she would be.
She destroyed most small trees and plants within her range, but nothing was worth running too far or too fast in her opinion. She escaped multiple times, but could normally be herded back into her enclosure, which was a farly simple wire fence, fortified with logs and branches in places. I say 'fortified', but as I write this I recall that logs also served as steps for her to climb up and over.
The dogs immediately challenged her for the enclosure. She head-butted one of them and the dispute was quickly over. Both dogs decided that they didn't like that part of the garden anyway, but that they might come and splash around in her water when she wasn't looking.
Blanchette used to watch my hands when I locked up the gate behind me. She'd look from my hands, to my eyes and back to my hands, suggesting that she really understood the mechanism of what I was doing, but fortunately she had hooves instead of fingers and thumbs, otherwise she'd have been in the cottage and I'd have ended up in the enclosure for the night.
Bit by bit, she tested and discovered weaknesses in the fence, which then had to be strengthened, but on the whole this seemed like an exercise in exerting her independence ... and sometimes attempting to eat the rose bush.
I was hoping that Blanchette would keep the grass down, but she was not particularly interested in grass at all. I'm afraid I don't recall why that was. Perhaps it was the time of year or simply that goats don't care that much for grass.
At first, I would go out to the field and suggest that she, you know, got up and ate some grass. Now! Eventually, I ended up just sitting down next to her.
"You know, you're right," I'd say. "This view is amazing."
The grass grew up around us, but we could feed her the sharpest, nastiest brambles and they'd disappear in seconds, so that was good.
I don't know much about milk production, quality of meat or fibres. We didn't go there.
An interesting animal to have around, but, yes, do watch out for the destruction of your plant life and other structures, especially if your goat is quite young. And yes, they will escape at some point.

After the brutal hills of my 10k race on Sunday, my glutes felt a bit trashed. So in the sprit of listening to my body I took it easy for the early part of this week, instead getting my exercise on a number of bike rides into central London.
But with my half marathon quickly approaching, I recognised regardless of soreness I needed to get out there and put in some quality miles. Luckily I have a new running buddy in the shape of Clare who I met through our mutual friend Helen. With a marathon time of 3:30 behind her running with Clare is great for my training, we have loads in common and the minutes fly by.
Excitingly yesterday she brought along her beautiful 9 month Collie, Watson to join us on the run. Early on Watson was definitely setting the pace. We ran up to our Walthamstow and Hackney marshes. Watching Watson boundless energy was inspiring, he was in and out of the river, puddles, grabbing sticks, playing with other dogs. Basically he was having a brilliant time.
All whilst I was being a little bit of a moaner for the first few miles; I had cycled about 8 miles already yesterday and had been to a great social enterprise event at lunchtime. However at the event there was no vegan food apart from the obligatory plate of fruit. Now I had a choice and did the polite English thing and grabbed a selection of fruit. Basically I needed double what I took to get sufficient carbs in but I didn't want to be a fruit hog. So after my cycle home I felt a little under carbed and had to eat a piece of bread and low fat hummus 30 mins before the run. Not ideal but after a bit of a food and water I felt near where I needed to be.
Once we got into Hackney Marsh the sun started to set the sky was a beautiful orange and pink. We both couldn't stop admiring the beautiful views. These are the moments I have come to cherish as a runner. On every run I see something beautiful or something of interest, I learn more about the area in which I live in. If I was inside I was miss all of the interesting stuff happening around me.
By the time I was into the 4th mile I was starting to feel strong, we decided to run back on ourselves across the endless football pitches. I felt I got found out for my lack of soft surface training at the Bushy Park 10K a few weeks ago. I always find my pace drops on soft surfaces but I am finding it increasingly important to mix up. We then decided to head off down Regents Canal towards Victoria Park, my initial plan was to run with Clare for a bit then turn back and run home. But as I said to Clare I felt I was getting a second wind. This had the makings of a long run in it. So I decided to just keep running I left Clare and Watson at Victoria Park and made my way home.
Whilst running through the park I had a teenager throw a few stones. Which I felt was particularly brave of him only being in his hoody and standing behind steel fence. He must have felt particularly proud when despite me not evening saying anything to him he started screaming and swearing at me. Honestly you just have to smile, what a pathetic existence he is leading if that is how he gets his kicks.
I reached the end of the park and realised it was closed which was a bit of a lesson really, probably not the best idea to run around Victoria Park in the dark. This led to me having to rather gingerly jump the park fence before continuing home.
By this point my splits were again in the 8 minute mile territory again, I wasn't flying but by no means was I struggling. I arrived home after completing 10:68 miles in 1:33.45. This has filled me with confidence for my half marathon on the 1st December a 1:45 time definitely feels within my reach now.
I really think having Watson running with us yesterday helped lift my mood and enabled me to get the enthusiasm to make what was meant to be a 8 mile run something much longer.
Have you ever ran with a dog? If so how do you find it?
Until the next time.

In the midst of everything and "tapering" we are 188 days out from a full 26.2 miles. So we are loosely sticking to that plan and all the while making it work with all our other races, and impromptu runs. Our coach called for a four mile, easy run today. Which we set out for as per normal, except my NIKE+ started acting up. Without getting into too much useless details, it wasn't giving me the distance options it usually does, and even though the settings were on "Miles" it was giving me my distance in my ear. Unfortunately, I do NOT like trying to do math in my head. One kilometer complete...welllll five kilometers is threee point one miles soo... As much as it sounds like a nice way to distract you, it was just irritating to me. So we had to reset the workout twice and it didn't log the whole four miles in one work out. Oh well?
I was running aphrensively, and I hate running that way. Even though ice has been my best friend lately, I am really not that fond of pain and am starting to learn that it's smarted to avoid the dive into injuries. We did this crazy thing called WARMING UP, who does that? Goliath and I usually run door to door. We are acustomed to that, we know the mile markers and we know the hills. Today, we walked a half a mile and started our mileage after that.
We ran three miles out, and found a baseball diamond. I let G-Money go nutso. Sometimes I feel like he runs with me a pretends that it's enough, just to appease my ego. He ran back and forth, smelling everything. We played tag, and fetch with a ball we found. The pure physics of his energy is unexplicable.
The run was a good one. The weather was beautiful. The trail was full of smiling faces. The pain was minimal. We got a good work out. We got some miles on the shoes. We stuck to our plan. and of course, we got a little muddy.

Lambert tweeted photos of someone's hands - presumably hers - dropping a need on a single, called "Vice." The tweet said "July 18."
The song would be from Lambert's seventh album, which has no release date.
Lambert's previous release, "Platinum," dropped in 2014. She had hits with "Automatic," "Somethin' Bad" (with Carrie Underwood) and "Little Red Wagon."
She currently is on tour with Kenny Chesney and will also headline her own Keeper of the Flame tour this summer.

A speakeasy style lounge and event space. We offer an extensive cocktail menu featuring classic and modern craft cocktails in our historic gambling hall space that dates back to 1911.
If these walls could talk (and they do), they'd tell the story of the movers, shakers and hell raisers that defined our Stockyards culture that still lives on today. Add to that legacy and create stories of your own. Big things are happening at Niles City Hall.
Niles City, home of the Fort Worth Stockyards, was incorporated in February 1911. The town was called "the richest little city in the state of Texas" due to the big business within its boundaries, the Swift and Armour packing companies being the largest.
A little over one-half square mile, Niles City had a population of 508 inhabitants. It was governed by a mayor, a city marshall, and five aldermen. Its first election was held on April 4, 1911. Six railway companies operated lines through Niles City, including The Belt Railway which owned and operated a roundhouse in Niles City. The Northside Coliseum, now known as Cowtown Coliseum, was the site of the Fat Stock Show, the first indoor rodeo and the first indoor horse show in the state.
Many famous personalities performed in the coliseum while it was located in Niles City, including Enrico Caruso, who sang before a crowd of about 8,000 in 1920. The town attracted a number of home builders because of the many utilities and conveniences that it offered, but only a few private homes were located within the town, since most of the property was owned by private corporations, from which most residents rented living quarters.
Niles City became a part of Fort Worth on August 1, 1923, and the tradition of culture of cowboys lives on to this day.

If you're looking to buy an investment property or you have a property investment loan expiring soon, then you will want to read on.
At the moment lenders are mainly focusing on your serviceability rather than your equity position. Here are 5 tips before applying for a loan.
1. Check your credit history. It's free to check once a year and it will show your monthly repayment history. If there are any issues with your history then you will need to explain on your application the reason for late/overdue payments. It's better to address any issues upfront than to have a lender refuse your application without any explanation.
2. Don't apply for too many other types of personal loans in the 12 months prior to applying for an investment loan. All loans will be taken into account with your application and your serviceability will be affected, so it's better to hold off on those personal loans until after your loan has settled.
3. Review your current expenses. You will be required to provide copies of all your bank accounts and credit cards statements for at least the last 3 months prior to your application. The lender will be assessing your expenses and also your ability to save. Therefore you should be reviewing all your expenses 6 to 12 months prior to applying for a loan and reducing or eliminating any unnecessary expenses. You should also have a separate saving account and be mindful of what you label each transfer between accounts.
4. Lower your credit card limits. It doesn't matter whether you pay off the full balance of your credit card at the end of the month, your application will be reviewed on servicing the full amount of the credit card limit you have. Potentially the lender could be factoring in that your servicing ability is reduced by about $150 per month for every $5,000 of credit card limit.
5. If you're self employed then you will be required to provide at least 2 years of company financials and personal tax returns. The lender will be looking at how your business has performed over the last 2 years and that you know what you're doing.

Quick link: You can download the latest Mac installer image for Kitchen Sync: here
New In 1.6.0
Version 1.6.0 adds a feature in Disk Sync to calculate the size of the files being copied and to ensure that enough free space exists before the copy starts.
Overview of Kitchen Sync
If you are like me, you have a computer or file server at home that stores your music and movie collection. Although you love Dropbox, or iTunes Match, they are not always the answer. Maybe you have an expensive or slow Internet connection. Or maybe you're going on a plane, backpacking in the mountains, and the Internet is just not there.
So what do you do? Simple- you copy portions of your folders to a USB stick, or external hard drive and carry it around. (it's called SneakerNet). Easy, right? Not so fast. You have to import the stuff on your other computer. And then the fun begins. See if any of these ring a bell:
- when you unplug the USB stick, the entries still hang around your iTunes library. It's only when you go to access them, that you get an error message. And if you are using an Apple TV, you find this out after the popcorn is hot, you're in your favorite comfy chair and then ARGHHHH!!!
- If you add more stuff to your USB drive, you have to remember what you've already imported and not reimport the old stuff. Jeesh, I thought computers were supposed to do this.
- You make changes to the files you are carrying around and then forget what you've done- ending up with slightly different copies, or missing files ("Where did that document go??!!!")
Enter: Kitchen Sync
I kept having these problems and so I went about creating Kitchen Sync. It is a collection of synchronization utilities: iTunes Sync and Disk Sync.
When you plug in a USB stick, iTunes Sync automatically adds all its media into iTunes. When you eject it, iTunes Sync updates iTunes and deletes the entries (but never the files!)
Disk Sync lets you easily carve out folders of a disk and place them on disk (called a "slave"). You can then take that slave disk anywhere- make changes, add or delete things. When you get back, Disk Sync will merge them back into the master disk.
Kitchen Sync places an icon 'Ks' in your system menu bar. From there, you can quickly see the status of your disks and can open the Kitchen Sync status pane.
Easy, huh? You can download the latest Kitchen Sync Mac installer image: here

"It behoves the Bishops of every nation to know the one among them who is the first or chief, and to recognize him as their head, and to refrain from doing anything superfluous without his advice and approval: but, instead, each of them should do only what is necessitated by his own parish and by the territories under him. But let not even such a one [the primate] do anything without the advice and consent and approval of all. For this will there be concord, and God will be glorified through the Lord in the Holy Spirit, the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit."
These are the words of Canon XXXIV of the Holy Apostles. This canon is frequently quoted in the discussion of primacy and conciliarity in the Church; it is an early witness to the need to balance both of these functions in order for the Church to function well. I offer it to us here, quite frankly, in the hope that this early patristic text will provide both the Orthodox and the Catholics some food for thought.
It is no secret that I believe that the positions of the East and West are complimentary, and can be reconciled without either a facile "compromise" or a surrender of one side to the other. I am also convinced that authentic ecumenism does not have as its goal the mutual ratification of each other's abuses. Nor does a worth-while ecumenical process lie in contrasting the highest ideals of one side with the most deplorable practices of the other side.
The Apostolic Canon clearly excludes two extremes. The primate is not and cannot be "above" the Church, nor "above" the episcopate. He is not to act without obtaining the consent of his brothers. The episcopate is not and cannot be "independent" of the primate; the remaining bishops shall not act without obtaining the primate's advice and approval. Thus the primate is not to be a dictator or tyrant, but neither is he a mere figurehead. The history of the past two-thousand years provides more than sufficient examples of what can happen when either extreme is pressed too far. But before I come to examples, let me address an objection sometimes voiced.
The Apostolic Canon speaks clearly of "the bishops of every nation", and therefore appears to be discussing local primacies: in Italy, in Gaul, in Egypt, in Ireland, or wherever. Is it, then, proper to refer to this canon in the context of a discussion of the universal primacy?
Surely it must be proper. The Orthodox insist, correctly, that there is not and cannot be any radical, essential difference between one diocesan bishop and another. Whether the Pope of Rome offers the Holy Eucharist in Saint John Lateran, or the Bishop of Scopelos serves the Divine Liturgy in some small village church in the western United States, the Eucharistic Sacrifice is identical. Whether the Ecumenical Patriarch ordains a priest in Saint George's Cathedral in Constantinople, or the Bishop of Peoria ordains a priest in a small church in Illinois, the divine grace of the Priesthood does not differ in the least.
Thus the relationship of the primate to the rest of the bishops, be this on the "universal" level or within a given "nation," must in either case be the relationship of the first among brothers with the remaining brothers. The primate does not stand as Jesus Christ stands among the Apostles; the primate does not stand as each bishop stands among his presbyters. The primate and the remaining bishops are brothers: the primate is not the father, and the rest are not his sons.
The Apostolic Canon does not mention it, but there is another matter arising directly from the comparison of the local level with the universal level of primacy: traditionally, the Church links primacy among the bishops, whether locally or universally, to the city of which a given hierarch is the bishop. The authentic tradition does not know of a "shifting primacy," which can be moved from place to place almost without notice. One is the primate of Egypt and Africa because one is the Bishop of Alexandria, not because all the bishops of Egypt and Africa happen to prefer that for this particular term of years bishop so-and-so should be their president. This link between the primacy and the Local Church in which the primacy is situated is an important element in the stability of the Church.
To be continued …

At the end of May, 1854, the minister to Central America, Solon Borland, and the United States commercial agent at Greytown, Joseph Fabens, both wrote to the Secretary of State, William L. Marcy, about recent events in Greytown. Fabens declined to mention how he'd tried to burn the town to the ground in the wake of Borland's alleged injury. Marcy might not have known about that until the newspapers reported it late in the summer. He did know that if anybody hit Borland with a bottle, it happened because Borland intervened to protect an accused murderer from arrest.
Borland himself declared that he cared not at all about whether or not Captain Smith, the murderer in question and an employee of the Accessory Transit Company, had killed the man. Considering Borland talked him into the killing, that took some cheek. Borland demanded justice for an injury that left not a mark upon him which he suffered in a confrontation that he initiated, based on a murder he encouraged.
Fabens, working more for the Transit Company than the United States, dealt with Borland's injury as almost an afterthought in his letters. But the murky real estate disputes between the Transit Company and Greytown had gone on for some time. For more than a year the Company refused to recognize Greytown's jurisdiction. All its protests and lobbying through Fabens did not bring the George N. Hollins and the USS Cyane down from New York. Borland's injury, and Faben's dispatches declaring that the people of Greytown tried to seize and detain the minister, did. To hear Fabens tell it, a mob of "Jamaican negroes" formed to seize Borland and the broken bottle struck him in the face, drawing blood. Borland must have been a fast healer if this really happened, as others saw an uninjured face the next day.
Whatever happened, the Navy issued orders to Hollins dated June 10. He would sail down with the Cyane and get satisfaction from Greytown. He should not spend too much time there, but should consult with Joseph Fabens to get the latest facts on the ground before acting. Whatever he did, he should try to prevent any loss of life or destruction of property. The Cyane arrived on July 11 and Fabens and Hollins conferred. Fabens shared that he'd told the Greytown authorities the Navy would soon arrive and they should have some kind of restitution for Borland's injury and the Accessory Transit Company's complaints ready. The Greytown government declined to give Fabens an answer. Possibly they felt less than sociable toward him due to his late plan to burn their homes and property to the ground. Furthermore, Fabens had it that the mob that injured Borland now entirely controlled the town.
The amount of restitution that Fabens suggested to Hollins, which the latter accepted, went well beyond the agreed value of the property in question for the Transit Company. It certainly exceeded any reasonable sum one could ask for Borland's uninjured face. After repeated demands brought no answer Hollins accepted, he gave twenty-four hours' notice that he aimed to disregard his instructions to avoid violence and destruction of property by bombarding the town. But Hollins had something of a soft touch and abided by one third of his instructions by trying to avoid killing anybody. He instead set up facilities for everyone to relocate to safety before the shooting started.
The pleas of the commander of a much smaller British warship present did nothing to move Hollins. He had it in his power to destroy Greytown and destroy it he would. That Greytown had no defenses against a naval bombardment did not enter into it. Nor did Greytown's position in the United Kingdom's Mosquito Coast protectorate. Nor did American commitment in the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty to maintain the neutrality of any route for a canal across Central America matter. The next morning, Hollins performed an intermittent bombardment, with frequent breaks for someone from Greytown to come over with cash on hand, or at least promises to pay. No one did and over the course of a few hours Hollins fired into the town and then ordered a party ashore to burn the rest.
The United States Navy, on behalf of Solon Borland for injuries he probably did not suffer and on behalf of the Accessory Transit Company, for grievances where the facts generally stood against it, destroyed Greytown entirely. It did so over the protests of the British and wildly out of proportion to any injuries suffered. Borland might call Greytown a nest of pirates, but George N. Hollins destroyed a defenseless town because it refused to pay tribute.

Chest exercises are critical for getting one of the most intimidating muscle groups in a man's physique. Similarly, doing the right chest exercises will make those muscles look defined while wearing a fitted shirt (new profile pic, anyone?), making you more attractive to the ladies. Show me a guy who says he doesn't want a chiseled chest and I'll show you a liar. A big, chiseled chest is a defining characteristic of the classic male physique and achieving it is perhaps the most coveted training goal among men. Not only will a bigger chest contribute to a stronger Bench Press but, by adding more muscle to the top of your frame, your waistline will appear considerably leaner.
>>> Chest Exercises: The Basics & Three Layers
>>> Superman Workout: Get a Chest Like the Man of Steel
>>> Bane Workout: Chest [The Dark Knight Rises]
To aid you in the process of building a respectable set of chesticles, I'll briefly outline two of the most commonly made mistakes when it comes to chest exercises.
Neglecting Heavy, Compound Lifts
Trainees often make the mistake of assuming low load/high repetition isolation exercise is the only way to gain muscle. In reality, though, using heavier loads to increase strength provides a necessary stimulus which facilitates muscle growth. While isolation movements such as Cable Crossover's and Pec Fly's are undoubtedly valid exercises for chest development, they should not be used at the expense of heavy, compound lifts like variations of the Bench Press and Dips.
Neglecting Full Ranges of Motion
Neglecting to take the chest musculature through a full range of motion (ROM) is possibly the single best way to sabotage your efforts. Granted, partial ROM movements serve a purpose under various conditions, but the vast majority of training should utilize full ranges of motion. For example, don't shortchange yourself during the Bench Press by only lowering the bar halfway to your chest. Assuming your shoulders are healthy and you feel comfortable with the movement, lower the bar all the way to your chest prior to pressing it back up and finishing the lift.
The Top Chest Exercises for Maximum Results
Below I, Jordan Syatt, have provided a list of my top 10 chest exercises for sculpting a massive chest. I'd note, there are hundreds upon hundreds of exercise variations designed to target the chest, each of which has a time and place within a well designed training program. That being said, these are my personal favorite exercises which have produced astounding results time, and time again.

Dignity Therapy: For The Dying, A Chance To Rewrite Life : NPR.
One of the important pieces of working with the dying is to give them or their families an opportunity to rethink and relay their lives to others. We are afraid that we will not have a legacy, and as such, some of our fear of death could potentially be alleviated through reflection and story telling. There is a formal methodology for this, which is called dignity therapy. Unfortunately, for many, reflection comes too late because of other concerns getting in the way, such as the fear of telling the person the truth because if someone knows he is dying, the person will get very depressed. Instead, dignity therapy is a means of working through the depression to find a place of meaning that will outlast one's life.
For several decades, psychiatrists who work with the dying have been trying to come up with new psychotherapies that can help people cope with the reality of their death. One of these therapies asks the dying to tell the story of their life.
This end-of-life treatment, called dignity therapy, was created by a man named Harvey Chochinov. When Chochinov was a young psychiatrist working with the dying, he had a powerful experience with one of the patients he was trying to counsel — a man with an inoperable brain tumor.
"One of the last times that I went into his room to meet with him, on his bedside table was a photograph of him when he had indeed been young and healthy and a bodybuilder, and it was this incredible juxtaposition of these two images," says Chochinov.
So in the bed there's his patient — this skeleton of a man — very pale and weak. On the bedside table, there's this portrait of a glistening, muscled giant. And Chochinov says that sitting there, it was very clear to him that by placing this photograph in such a prominent position, the man was sending a message: This was how he needed to be seen.
As Chochinov continued his work with the dying, he confronted this again and again — this need people have to assert themselves in the face of death. And he started to wonder about it…
"When you face death, it's like facing a wall, and it forces you to turn around and look at the life that you've lived," says William Breitbart, a psychiatrist at Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. He's been trying to develop new psychotherapies for the dying. He says that many people have the wrong idea about the dying process.
"The prevailing mythology is that you die the way you live, and you can't change yourself in any way," says Breitbart. "The fact is that the last few months of life — because of the awareness of death — create an urgency that facilitates growth and change."This, he says, is why something like dignity therapy can be good. Though there's no evidence that it relieves depression or anxiety, he thinks it can help us change in the very last moment of our lives. After all, he says, we've all lived imperfect lives.
"All of us fail, and the process, the task of dying, is to relieve ourselves of this guilt, whether it's forgiving yourself or asking others to forgive you," says Breitbart. "Or to remember your life slightly differently. But that's the task of dying."
As for Frego, she says she's developed a strange relationship to the document her mother put together. Since her mother's death, Frego says she's actually carried the document around with her. She has the story of her mother's life, always at her side, knocking around in the bottom of her bag.

Italy's Arcadia Yachts will be showing a new version of their Arcadia 85 at the forthcoming Dusseldorf Boat Show in the New Year.
This yacht is based on the successful Arcadia 85 with Francesco Guida applying the same innovative design to this semi-displacement hull built in composite. His design has been guided by eco-friendly principles and features an abundance of natural light and some ingenious technological innovations. The accommodation is for eight guests in a master suite and three cabins.
On the new Limo version, the saloon and the dining room are now integrated in the same living area, giving more than 80 square metres of continuous space on the same level. From the dining bulkhead to the sundeck, guests can enjoy a 14 metre walkway along the main deck, with uninterrupted views all around. A spacious lobby leads to the lower deck cabins, to the galley and to the wheelhouse, creating a perfect filter between the guest and the crew areas.
The galley now has a direct access to the external starboard passage through a wide door which allows for easy crew circulation around the yacht. A stairway (optional) allows a direct access to the crew quarters (two twin-cabins with en-suite bathrooms) from the bridge.

Most of my brand is actually dresses, those are the main pieces of any wardrobe and the item which makes the outfit stand out the most. Its worth investing into as it makes outfit stand out the most - much more so than four pieces of AP plastic jewelry of the same cost, or those AP tea parties noone can tell from Secret Shop shoes anyway. But did you ever wonder what those brand socks with lace or without are like? The details, the feels? I did, so I got some!
Name: Wide Lace High Socks
Brand: BtSSB
Year: 2009
Lolibrary Entry
I got these new today (2014-06-09) in offwhite, that means its been laying in someone's closet for 4 years, wow! Size says 22-24 and theres some japanese sticker on it I can't read. The cotton lace needed ironing and looks a bit bulky on the under the knee socks.. I guess it would be called old-school by now.
Name: Torchon Lace OTKs
Brand: IW
Year: 2006
Lolibrary Entry
I got these new today (2014-06-09) in black, which makes them 8 years old o.O Theres still even the tag attached! They're rather knee high on me, and I'm not even particularly tall with my 165 cm -.-'
Name: Antique Perfume Bottle OTKs
Brand: IW
Year: 2013
Lolibrary Entry
It's definetly these OTKs, but in Black x Pink, which is not listed on Lolibrary, wow! I got them in a gift bag at Innocent World Tea Party in Wien at autumn 2013.
Name: Fruit Punch OTKs
Brand: Metamorphose
Year: 2011
Lolibrary Entry
I bought these in pink secondhand as my first brand hoisery.
It turned out the details are what - embroided? In there, not printed as I thought. The first two are made of cotton and I seem to be too tall for them! The other two are a blend with polyester, much smoother at touch and more stretchy. They're big enough for me - did they start to make them longer or is it because they're more stretchy? I'll have to include a picture of all them together someday to find out! I still wonder about printed tights though - how sturdy they are and if they're fully opaque. I'll have to get one someday...

Solving the Big Homelessness Challenge
In Vancouver proper, there are only 114.97 km2 (44.39 sq mi) of space, and personally, we now have to let go of the idea that we can all live in a single family dwelling. I am hoping to tackle affordable housing, like all of the other candidates running for office, but my ideas are to use space creatively, and allow unusually-sized buildings, such as modular housing, laneway housing, tiny housing, wood houses, shipping crate homes, wood pallet homes, hemp concrete homes, co-op housing, prefabricated housing or micro homes like those found in Japan.
If we can't find the answer, let's turn to other places in the world to see how they have attempted to solve their issues and learn from them. Not everything will work, but it is better than not trying at all! I will be adding to this list, as soon as I hear other ideas.
Solving housing & homelessness challenges around the world:
How about this idea from Hawaii:
Kahauiki Village is a proposed community of approximately 153 one and two bedroom homes to be built on 11.3 acres of land located between Nimitz Highway, Keehi Lagoon Park and Sand Island. Kahauiki Village will provide long term, permanent, affordable housing for approximately 153 currently homeless families with children on Oahu. When completed, Kahauiki Village is expected to house over 600 adults and children.
Or flex-housing:
housing that could be easily adapted to meet the present and future needs of the occupants. Adaptability will become increasingly important as our population ages. As lifestyle changes, and as we witness an increase in home-based activities and new technologies."
Solving homelessness: (various countries, such as Finland tried this).
The optimal solution, a group of four experts appointed by the Ministry of the Environment in Finland found, was Housing First. "Solving social and health problems is not a prerequisite for arranging housing," they observed. "Instead, housing is a prerequisite that will also enable solving a homeless person's other problems." One of those goals was to cut the number of long-term homeless in half by producing 1,250 new homes, including supported housing units for tenants with their own leases, and around-the-clock presence of trained caring staff for residents who needed help.
Germany solves homelessness in Munich:
Munich, Germany's third largest city, with a population of 1.3 million, conditions are comparatively good; public support, partly in co-operation with charities, helps to alleviate the plight of the homeless. Among the numerous general facilities for the homeless are centres and overnight accommodation specifically for women (with or without children); residential establishments for ex-prisoners and those in danger of committing offenses; live-in communities with supervision; rehabilitation centres; tea houses; advisory centres; short-term sleeping accommodation and employment offers; therapy centres for addicts etc.
Helping homeless in Korea:
The Korean Homeless Team is managed by the street paper Big Issue South Korea, a social enterprise that is part of international street paper network The Big Issue. One of the enterprise's permanent activities is street football, titled The Homeless Healthy Football League. Its impact is two-fold. It encourages homeless people to regularly exercise and therefore lead a healthy lifestyle. It also raises awareness about homelessness and shows people in Korea that homeless people can play football, and consequently work and live just like any ordinary person.
Allowing homeless to shower daily:
Project WeHOPE, a homeless non-profit in San Mateo, California, is crowdfunding a new type of facility for its clients: a customized trailer that comes with showers, a washer/dryer, and bathrooms. The trailer has an accessible ramp, a small hydraulic lift for wheelchairs, and its own tank for grey water collection. Once it's built, WeHOPE plans to take the trailer to encampments in the San Mateo area, including in Half Moon Bay where many homeless migrant workers live on the beach.
Or in Australia: Eco-Village called "Crystal Waters"
Established in 1984 in northeastern Australia, Crystal Waters was the world's first permaculture village. In a region plagued by drought, these 200 residents have created a small Oasis using intricate networks of dams, channels, and rainwater into thriving streams and lakes. It's very common to see the local wildlife of kangaroos and wallabies hop by. Residents enjoy their own bakery, community center, and a quaint monthly country market. Crystal Waters Website
Portugal Idea – Multi-Dimensional Approach
When tackling homelessness, we always have in mind the need of fully understanding someone ́s whole story so we can fix the root of the problem instead of only dealing with its symptoms. Therefore, there ́s a multidimensional approach when making a diagnosis of a situation. A relationship between a case manager and a homeless person grows stronger as life projects with concepts as inclusion and empowerment in mind are drawn. With the right team and methodologies we will guide a person in need to a temporary accommodation while monitoring and developing his/her situation
Netherlands – Social Shelter for all
In the Social Shelter Action Plan policy document, the Dutch state defined the vulnerable people as people having psycho social problems, having different addictions and who are not able to look after their housing, income, social relations and self-maintenance. There are two phases of the Dutch approach. The focus in the first phase was on getting all the homeless of the streets, the second phase focusses on preventing people becoming homeless.

Jennifer Fallon is now in Brisbane on the next leg of the Supanova tour!
Here are some fabulous shots from last weekend at Supanova in Melbourne, with captions by Jenny:
You see, Mr Taxman… I really do need that hideously expensive colour laser printer for work related purposes.
Of course, there's the staffing issue… but, you know, there's the odd 6′ 2″ dwarf floating around:)
And the people across the way were a little bit odd…
But the security was pretty impressive.
And of the launch itself … some of you might recognise the gentleman below better if he was wearing an iron helmet and drinking dwarven stout … Jennifer and John Rhys Davies went to the boxing ring …
Where my new best friend told everyone to buy my book…
And then did a reading… which sounded so cool we sold out of every copy of The Immortal Prince.
Tune into Jennifer Fallon's blog for more, or watch this spot for Jenny's blogpost exclusive to Voyager Online! And if you're lucky enough to be in Brisbane then go and see her!

Welcome to the Misery, a blasted land that resulted from the fallout of a magical super-weapon built by a living god who has since disappeared. Here walks Captain Galharrow of Blackwing, bounty hunter and secret agent of a living god. Facing traitors, flesh-eating monsters, reluctant heroes and willing villains, Galharrow and his band of cut-throats must save the Republic from the horror of the Deep Kings and their endless army of the dead.
McDonald throws you straight into the action, and some of his creations are really quite disturbing. The pace is fast, the fight scenes extremely realistic and the dialogue sharp and often witty. This is a book with heart, that despite its violence is really about the power of love and friendship. It's not grimdark, it's grimheart.
The sequel, Ravencry, is, if anything, even better! I'm avidly looking forward to Crowfall, the final book in the Raven's Mark trilogy, which is scheduled for release in June 2019.
The Court of Broken Knives
The Empires of Dust lie dreaming, but their dream is about to become a nightmare as Marith, disowned prince-turned-mercenary, sets events in motion that will unleash a storm of war across an entire continent.
This is a truly extraordinary book, literary in a way that almost demands that it be read out loud. Some people's prose is poetic, but Smith Spark's is positively operatic. This is a bleak and bloody story of lust and addiction, regicide and madness, that feels partly like a Greek tragedy and partly like a black metal opera. I have honestly never read a grimdark fantasy quite like this before.
The Tower of Living and Dying, the second in the Empires of Dust trilogy is equally magnificent in its mythological tone.
Kings of the Wyld
This was a really fun read, with a great story driven by Eames's very particular brand of humor. It's like what you might end up with if Joe Abercrombie and Terry Pratchett sat down to write a book together while listening to Spinal Tap and early Black Sabbath on endless repeat.
The humor is absolutely on point, mixing classic rock analogies with gentle pokes at the fantasy genre in general, and yet this is far more than just a funny book. There's a really engaging story here, and moments of surprising tenderness.
The sequel, Bloody Rose, is on my to-read list.
The Red Gods are rising, and no one is safe. Godblind is among the grimmest of grimdark fantasy, written in a style reminiscent of George R R Martin's A Game of Thrones. The growing sense of despair as the story progresses and everything goes from bad to worse to oh-so-much worse is almost stifling in its intensity. One character in particular is dragged bodily across one of the most brutal character arcs I think I've ever read, and it's extremely well done. And then there's THAT scene, the one with the hammer…
Dark and bleak yet utterly compelling, this may not be a book for the squeamish but it's definitely a thrill-ride for all grimdark fans.
The sequel, Darksoul, has just been released.
Gates of Stone
This is the one that is forthcoming, and you have a treat in store here!
A ferocious emperor's daughter who will not be denied her birthright, an indolent prince forced to take a stand for the first time in his life, and an ancient and terrifying sorcerer with the power to destroy the world all collide in the lush, tropical islands of a fantasy world reminiscent of ancient Indonesia.
With its tense political drama and rip-roaring action on both land and on the high seas of a fresh and believable Asian-inspired setting, Gates of Stone reads like a collaboration between Joe Abercrombie and James Clavell.
Add feuding sorcerers and a queen who would eat Cersei Lannister for breakfast, and you have a truly fantastic fantasy debut. Angus Macallan is a compelling new voice in epic fantasy, and this is definitely a book to pre-order right now.
