Requesting Help with Perfect Skin SSS Pro
RobZhena last edited by
I had emailed Ralf for help and a couple of months later learned of his death from his brother. In his lamentable absence, can anyone on this fine forum help me out? I know I can do this in EZ Skin, but the interface in Perfect Skin is easier to me, and I've never had success modifying Genesis 2 characters in that script, although it is listed as a capability:
Perfect Skin SSS does not recognize the new DuskSE as Dusk, and I also want to be able to use your program with Genesis 2 Female. The manual says:
When you click the Preset button, you get a menu where you can load and save presets, copy and
past page settings, restore a page to the settings from the shader, and load settings from an add-on.
You can load and save presets for each page. A preset consists of the values for all controls on a
page, but it doesn't include the set name (if any). Optionally, you can also include the material
selection, but this part will only work when the preset is loaded for the same figure type.
If you save a preset with the name default to the folder where the script is located, this preset is used
to initialize the page settings for figures that don't have be converted yet.
When I try to load DuskSE or Genesis 2 into the program, I get no further than being told the figure is not recognized.
There has to be a recognized figure in the window, and you have to click init and select something other than Start (for example, Skin) in order to even access the preset button. I tried saving Pauline as "default" in the same folder as the script but still nothing happens when I try to import an unrecognized figure. I tried saving the Dusk preset as "DuskSE" in the same folder as the script, but I still cannot load DuskSE. Consequently, I do not see how I can create presets for other figures.
Thanks for any suggestions!

You need to edit the file "Perfect Skin SSS.fig" which should be in Runtime\Python\poserScripts\ScriptsMenu\D3D Perfect\
You need to add DuskSE to the materials and name sections.
Under Material should be DuskSE (or whatever obj. the cr2 calls) = Dusk (I'm assuming the material groups are the same for both)
Under Name Would be whatever is showing in poser (DuskSE) = Dusk.
Same for geneis 2.
Materials - You'll have to see what obj the cr2 calls and add that as above. e.g. gen2123490804 = gen 2.
Name - Genesis 2 (whatever name figure has in poser) = Genesis 2.
This will use the materials definition that is listed farther down for dusk / Genesis 2. If the material groupings are different, you will have to define your own.

Updated May 10th, 2019
Before you speak to a home inspector, it can't hurt to check things out yourself. The good thing about doing a DIY home inspection is that it's tough to do it wrong.
You can't replace a professional service but it can highlight some glaring problems. This is useful; not only does it allow you to get things fixed before the official inspection but it helps you feel more at ease. A big list of problems is more daunting to tackle than a smaller list even if the total labor ends up being the same for you in the end.
There are some aspects of inspection you may not have the best idea about. If the window frames are busted up, do you need to replace the entire window? Depending on the age or extent of damage, the answer might be yes. Or it might be no. This is where a professional home inspector comes in. They'll tell you the things you can't tell yourself based on local ordinance and the standards of home construction today.
Getting Your DIY Home Inspection Started
Your own personal home inspection can take on many forms, and you can use your creativity and judgment here. Some people like to incorporate a physical checklist where they go down the list and manually fill in forms about what they're seeing. Others are content to just file the knowledge away mentally for when they can get the problem addressed. There is no right or wrong way to do this, so take the approach that suits you best.
You'll want to wear gloves and make sure you're not wearing any overly loose or fragile clothing if you plan on getting into tight spots or crawling around in crawlspaces and attics. If you have designated 'work' clothes, wear those.
Next, you'll want to bring some tools along. A bright flashlight is a given but you will also want to make sure that you have a couple of different kinds of screwdrivers with you. A flathead screwdriver can be used to pry things open while a Phillips-head screwdriver can open panels that you might need to take a gander in (such as ducts).
Now you're equipped for the job and ready to start inspecting. This list isn't exhaustive but is certainly a wonderful place to start.
1. Check the attic, cellar/crawl-space, and exterior for rotting wood.
The three mentioned areas are hotbeds for the challenges rotting wood provide. It is easy to spot, somewhat easy to fix, but catastrophic if left unchecked. Replace any rotting wood you find to ensure integrity is tip-top and to address any unsightly concerns a potential buyer might have.
2. Check the top of the house for clogged gutters and roof damage.
This might be difficult to do if you have an aversion to heights, but it's good practice to check the top region of your home for anything that may be amiss. Make sure that your roof isn't sinking or otherwise in disrepair, ensure that your tiling/shingles aren't on top of older layers, and check the gutters thoroughly. They should be empty, rust-free, and secured snugly to the house. The gutters should also be attached to something that directs any water flow away from the walls.
3. Check pipes for leaks.
Ensure that the pipes beneath sinks and behind faucets are leak-free and up to a respectable standard. Any DIY repairs you've done in the past should likely be replaced with new piping before you put the home on the market. If you have a crawlspace or an exposed basement, you will need to check the piping there as well.
4. If applicable, clean and check your chimney and fireplace.
While some modern homes have 'fake' variations for aesthetic purposes, it's still incredibly common to have a home with a functional chimney and fireplace. If you fall into that category, it is worth investing the time and money into making sure both are cleaned and up to spec. Check the construction for cracks and missing pieces, ensure the passage is clear of debris and soot, and test it out in case you haven't used it before.
5. Inspect the exterior and basement for foundation damage.
This is where it's better to be safe. It is easy to dismiss small cracks and stains, but this grows more challenging when you get inspected by a professional and a lineup of potential buyers. Investigate the 'bottom' of your house from the outside and then finally from within your basement for water damage, cracks in the foundation, and mold in any free-hanging insulation.
6. Ensure all appliances and glass are properly maintained.
Now is the time to make those fixes that you muse over but never got around to doing. Replace broken glass in the windows, give all your glass and mirrors a proper cleaning, and make sure your appliances are up to snuff. This includes any faucets in your home. Problems with the water pressure? Is water not coming out right? Puddles beneath the washing machine? Check everything out and get any issues solved. Many of these problems are simple repairs that you can do yourself without any financial investment.
7. Go over your property for sinkholes and other outdoor threats.
Cut back any trees that are hanging over your roof. If it rains and there are deep puddles of water, check for sinkholes or damage to the septic tank (if applicable). Fix any damage to the fences. Fill any holes made by interloping wild animals. These are easy things to see and easy problems to solve.
Ready to sell your home? Listing with a Clever Partner Agent who is reliable and knows the business while saving you money. Enjoy a flat commission rate of $3,000 or 1% if your home is over $350,000 and the reassurance that your home is being treated right without sacrificing an arm and a leg.

New Samsung S Band activity tracker leaked
Called Samsung S Band, the alleged new device is an activity tracker. As you may know, Samsung announced an S Band last year as well, but that one didn't make it to market.
The new S Band should be released as a fitness accessory for the Galaxy S5 and other Samsung smartphones. Unlike the Samsung Gear Fit (which is also used to track fitness activity), the S Band doesn't seem to have a proper display, and this should make it considerably cheaper. We're hearing that the Gear Fit will cost $200, so perhaps the S Band will be sold for no more than $100.
The S Band can monitor your daily activity (including calories and distance), and even your sleep quality. It connects to Samsung's Activity Tracker App and S Health 3.0 on your handset, that's how it shows you the info it gathers.
It's not clear if Samsung intends to release this new S Band in the near future. But since the new Galaxy S5 will go on sale on April 11, we're probably going to hear more on this pretty soon. Until then, check out the S Band in the slideshow below.

We all know that everything in your mind and body changes during pregnancy. What nobody tells you is what changes after you've delivered. And who am I kidding – Six Things that Change? It's really 6,000 Things. We can immediately list a myriad of obvious things, such as #3,782: Finding the Inner Strength to Handle Diaper Blow-outs, but here are 6 curveballs that I honestly didn't see coming at all and that I am still grappling with.
- Working out
I was so good during pregnancy… what happened to her? The Me who made time for the treadmill. I might as well set the treadmill to 12. I don't even know where my Nikes are. Maybe at the back of my closet beside my skates? Working out is more a matter of heavy lifting when your toddler wants carrying to the potty and you're up at 5am not for bikram yoga but to soothe a grumpy newborn back to sleep…
- Cooking
For your little ones, yes, you soon find yourself pureeing with the best of them and making mounds of spaghetti Bolognese. But for you or your much-forgotten hubby? Hmmmm… not so much. Where's that take-out Chinese menu?
- Coffee catch-ups
Can you say, "burnt tongue"? You mutter "Yeah, didn't sleep… are you sure it's just a phase?" as you drink someone else's caramel macchiato without batting an eyelash, or noticing the fact that you're one hour late to pick up your daughter from school. This from the same girl who used to go ballistic if two pumps of vanilla made it into her cup instead of one.
- Date night
Heels are replaced with fuzzy slippers. Your short tight black dress is nowhere to be seen and instead you sport old sweatpants bearing the glitter glue from your daughter's birthday because she wanted to help you prepare the party bags…
What you google, how often and the images you look at are curated and could be a Pinterboard entitled Shellshocked Mommy. Long gone are the days where I browsed Instagram looking at shoe-short combos… there was something incredibly important about wearing shorts with the right pair of shoes. I can't remember what that was now.
- Freedom to get drunk all day
Can you remember weekends? When you could have a loungey boozy lunch before window shopping and then go out to dinner and get home at 4am? I can't either. Nope. I really, really can't. And that's such a good thing. Except it might be nice to not have to wake up at 6am every single morning to the soundtrack of Mooommmmmmmmyyyy I did poopie!
Those are my 6 Things I Did Not See Coming, what are yours?

(View the tournament standing and all the previous fights here)
This is it. After this week we'll be down to only two out of thirty two competitors, and we'll have our winner soon after that. These four badass chicks have clawed their way to to the top over some very worthy competition. I present to you, the Final Four:
Fight 1: Kasumi (Dead or Alive) vs. Cammy (Street Fighter)
Though they can be rendered in a million different forms, each of these girls is hot in their own right. Kasumi bangs and boobs vs. Cammy's braid and ass. It's a tough call. In this round however, I think the final Dead or Alive contestant must be sent home. Cammy's just too original to be counted out not, and will get her shot at the title next week.
Winner: Cammy
Fight 2: Taki (Soul Calibur) vs. Nina Williams (Tekken)
This entire competition Taki's been one of the only girls who hasn't needed to bathe in cleavage revealing outfits. However, that's because she wears spandex that's so tight, I'm surprised her lungs continue to function. Nina has triumphed over an avalanche of pretty blond girls, but today she falls to the breast-ninja that is Taki. It was quite an experience for her to even get this far, and I'm sure she'll be next year for even more.
Winner: Taki
Well, we have our final matchup: Street Fighter's Cammy vs. Soul Calibur's Taki. Tune in next week for the exciting finale of the Queen of the Iron Fist Tournament.

First posted Feb. 13, 2012 on the Earth Institute's State of the Planet blog.
Midtown Manhattan is red hot; Greenpoint a cool yellow and beige. It's all a matter of energy: A new interactive, color-coded map created by a team at Columbia's engineering school allows viewers to pinpoint and compare estimated energy usage, building lot by building lot, throughout New York City.
The researchers, working under Professor Vijay Modi of the Earth Engineering Center, a center of the Earth Institute, hope the new map will encourage city planners and building owners to seek more efficient ways to produce and use energy by using cogeneration, conservation and alternative energy systems. The map was created by the Modi Research Group.
"The simplest thing we learned [from the map] was that there are possibilities for doing lots of things which are hard to see when you don't look at the big picture," Modi said. For instance, neighboring buildings with large energy demands could team up to install cogeneration systems, which use heat generated from electricity to heat the buildings, cutting energy use.

Which is unfortunate enough in itself - but arg_reg? My understanding of beam internals is not great, but that looks to be something like a stack frame. A 1PB stack frame? As far as I can see "arg_reg" memory is only allocated in one place, around line 3100 of beam_emu.c: https://github.com/erlang/otp/blob/maint/erts/emulator/beam/beam_emu.c#L3157 ...where size is set to c_p->arity * sizeof(c_p->arg_reg[0]). process.arg_reg is an Eterm*, so sizeof(Eterm) *cannot* be huge, so it must be the arity which is ~10^15. We have some excessive arities in RabbitMQ, but not quite to that extent. Does anyone have any idea how this could arise, or can it just be chalked up to cosmic rays?

just finished 3 weeks of using retin-a .1 on my forehead...i like it! yesterday and today i felt really good about that part of my face...no makeup! the rest of my face is looking pretty good too...the whiteheads from last week have seemed to stop, possibly because i switched from pur minerals foundation to bare minerals (matte). i know some people have had problems with it, and i definitely don't like the coverage as much as pur minerals, but it's buildable and i'm glad it doesn't seem to be hurting my skin! eventually, after using the retin-a .1 on my forehead for 12 weeks, i want to start using it on the rest of my face, to hopefully prevent those annoying whiteheads i get around my period. eventually, i'd like to phase out the spiro (i only take 50 mg/day and i'm not sure it's doing much) and a few years down the road i'll also want to stop taking birth control. i'd like to be on the stronger retin-a when that happens.

In the preface to her 2017 book, On Strawberry Hill: The Transcendent Love of Gifford Pinchot and Laura Houghteling, writer Paula Ivaska Robbins informs readers that her work is not a biography of Gifford Pinchot, American forester, politician and one-time manager of Biltmore's forests. Rather, Robbins writes, "This is a story about two people and the place where they fell in love. The place was West Asheville, North Carolina[.]"
Like many in the late 19th and early 20th century, Laura Houghteling came to the area due to illness. After being diagnosed with phthisis in the late 1880s, she arrived to the mountains of Western North Carolina to seek the medical attention of Dr. S. Westray Battle (See "More than a Citizen," Sept. 26, Xpress).
During this same period, Pinchot came on as a member of the full-time staff at the Biltmore Estate. According to Robbins, George Vanderbilt hired the Yale graduate on Feb. 21, 1892, "to create a plan for managing the forest at Biltmore and to prepare an exhibit of this forest for the World's Columbian Exposition that would be held in Chicago, opening on May 1, 1893."
In the early chapters of On Strawberry Hill, Robbins examines the budding relationship between Pinchot and Houghteling. Both were born into wealthy and well-connected families. Houghteling was 28 when she and Pinchot, 26, became neighbors in West Asheville. Robbins suspects that Houghteling's illness was the reason she had not wed. (Most women within Houghteling's social class, Robbins notes, would have been married shortly after turning 18.) The writer points out that "[c]onsumption carried a social stigma of being a disease of the slums and lower classes, as well as being caused by a hereditary weakness or familial predisposition."
Nevertheless, in December 1893, the couple discussed marriage. During this same period, Houghteling relocated to Washington, D.C., on account of her declining health. Shortly thereafter, on Feb. 9, 1894, the Asheville Daily Citizen informed its readers, "Dr. S. Westray Battle has received a telegram bearing the sad intelligence that Miss Laura Houghteling … died yesterday at the house of Senator Stockbridge in Washington City."
Death, however, would not end Pinchot and Houghteling's relationship. At the turn of the century, Robbins notes, spiritualism had a strong following. "A core belief of Spiritualism," Robbins writes, "is that individuals survive the death of their body by ascending into a spirit existence." This belief, she continues, was especially attractive to individuals who had recently lost a loved one. Pinchot was no exception:
"For twenty years, Gifford secretly wrote about Laura and their ongoing relationship in his private diaries as if she were a living presence who never had left him. She spoke to him, traveled with him, read books with him, advised him, and inspired him."
Code became standard practice for Pinchot when writing of Houghteling's spiritual presence. Robbins explains:
"On the surface, the coded entries appear to describe the weather or what kind of day he had. On days that he felt Laura was with him, he would write, 'a bright day,' or 'a clear day.' If he was having difficulty reaching her but knew that she was near, his usual entry was 'not a clear day.' Sometimes there were bleak days when he could not find Laura at all and the code described his pain: 'a dull, dead day'; 'a blind day'; 'a lifeless, useless day'; 'I'm going blind.'"
Char Miller, author of Gifford Pinchot and the Making of Modern Environmentalism and Seeking the Greatest Good: The Conservation Legacy of Gifford Pinchot, wrote the foreword to Robbins' On Strawberry Hill. In it, he notes that Robbins' work is "the first book-length exploration of Gifford and Laura's fascinating love affair."
He goes on to mention the eternal bond Pinchot and Houghteling made to each other prior to her death:
"In a very material sense, Gifford kept his part of the bargain, a lived reality that he recorded almost daily in his diary, that gave shape to whenever he delivered a speech and felt Laura's enveloping presence, and that he and his mother enacted whenever they visited spiritualists, mediums, and yogis in hopes of contacting his dearly departed. This very personal quest also had a profound impact on his professional career, as Robbins nicely details. In so doing, she gives us a more fully realized Gifford Pinchot: an ardent champion of forestry and a crusading conservationist, his work advancing the public good was fueled in part by his abiding memory of a young woman and the energizing love they shared."

During the months of January and February, 5th grade students learned the ins and outs of the Microsoft Word software while creating textbooks. They learned how to edit the font size and style, insert page numbers, create columns by inserting tables, and adding images with captions as well as a bibliography.
Earlier in the year the 5th grade students similarly learned the ins and outs of PowerPoint, creating slides, inserting images, adding transitions, and experimenting with animations.

Having referred to the Holy Shroud of Turin in my last blog as the quixotic reason I have chosen cremation, I was glad to note that in a long appendix at the end of his most recent book, God So Loved the World (Ignatius Press), author Robert Spitzer SJ examines all the evidence for the authenticity of the Holy Shroud and concludes "we might reasonably infer that the Shroud is the burial cloth of Jesus."
Spitzer, former President of Gonzaga University and founder of the Magis Centre, subtitles his book "Clues to Our Transcendent Destiny from the Revelation of Jesus". It is a scholarly, prayerful and very readable response to the challenging question: Do you believe that God personally revealed himself to mankind? In his endorsement of the book, Cardinal Schonborn thanks the author for his "precious and fundamental help to understand God's love for the world."
In his appendix Spitzer emphasises that the evidence for the historical Jesus stands on its own and does not need substantiation by a relic like the Holy Shroud. Nonetheless, he believes the abundance of evidence for the Shroud's authenticity makes it worth investigating as corroborating evidence for the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ.
Among this evidence, Spitzer details the fact that there are no paints dyes or other pigments on the Shroud; that the anatomical precision of the blood stains are in precise anatomical correlation to the image itself; that pollen grains indigenous to Palestine are found on the cloth, as well as coins minted in AD 29 on the eyes of the man on the Shroud.
Finally he asks: how could a medieval forger (as sceptics suppose) have used vacuum ultraviolet radiation to discolour the cloth on the uppermost surface of the fibrils? How could he have created a perfect photographic negative image?
As Spitzer explains, everything points to a transphysical or metaphysical phenomenon "suggestive of the transformation of Jesus' body from a physical one to a spiritual-glorified one (reported by St Paul and the four Gospels)"; indeed, "a body transformed in glory, spirit and power."
This is in stark contrast to the Halloween artefacts recently awash in our shops, which reflect not so much a preparation for celebrating the glory of the saints as a ghoulish fascination for the macabre and death.
Christians must counter this with St Paul's wonderful words, "O Death where is thy victory? O Grave where is thy sting?" We have to remind society that God so loved the world so much that he laid down his life, only to rise again after three days – as the Holy Shroud shows us in its extraordinary and mysterious grandeur.

In Ancient Egypt, the great Pharaohs ruled with an iron fist. They sought wealth, power and knowledge from the Gods. It was tradition for Pharaohs to be buried with their most prized possessions after passing away. For some, this meant riches, for others their most loyal slaves. For Pharaoh Kamzu however, this meant being buried with a secret that has long since been forgotten. After thousands of years a team of archaeologists uncovered his final resting place and sent in a team to explore it. Their aim was to recover whatever treasure they could find, but once they entered the tomb they were never seen again. After weeks with no sign of them we received a message from the expedition, one single word came through the radio with a burst of static: "CURSED". Venture into Pharaoh Kamzu's hidden tomb, see if you can work out what happened to the explorers and try to prevent it from ever happening again. Can you break the curse?
Please note this experience takes place at our secret location near Leeds train station. Details of the meeting point will be e-mailed to you once you've booked.
Once a beacon for the psychiatric elite, Thornhill Asylum fell into ruin in the late 1940s after a tragic and mysterious fire claimed the lives of most of its occupants. Over the years many investors have been interested in buying the property, but all were driven away. Some claimed they'd heard voices calling to them from behind closed doors, others swore that they'd seen spirits roaming the halls, there was even talk of an unexplained fatal accident. Of course, all of these stories are just that; fiction. Our company has bought the property and intend to refurbish it into luxury accommodation. However, our building work had only just started when we knocked through a wall and uncovered a secret chamber that wasn't on any of the official floorplans.

At first, no one knew where the virus came from. It appeared suddenly and swept across the globe, turning any affected humans into feral creatures only capable of hunger and rage. These monsters spread the disease through their bite, and now, with humanity on the brink of extinction, we believe that the origin point of this illness has been discovered.
A laboratory was running an experiment known as Project Pandora. Records suggest that their goal was to halt the bodies aging process, making the recipients of this treatment almost immortal. The experiment was denied clinical trials after initial testing showed that the side effects of the drug were extensive, volatile and highly contagious. With no willing human participants to refine his cure on, the scientist resorted to more drastic measures… and people started going missing.
You wake up in a cell in a mysterious laboratory. Can you escape, and figure out a cure before time runs out?
Project Pandora has the option of having a zombie (actor, we hope! ) in the room for an additional £25 (suitable for ages 15+). This experience is not suitable for anyone under the age of 13.
On an isolated and densely forested island, a group of rogue operatives once built a secret bunker. It has long been abandoned, but rumour has it, that they developed a piece of technology that has the ability to wipe minds. If this falls into the wrong hands there will be disastrous consequences. Your mission is to infiltrate the bunker to activate the keypad that will self-destruct the facility.
Conspiracy theorist and a renowned history professor has vanished under mysterious circumstances. They claim that he finally lost the plot and ran away. But you know the truth. He was taken. And now they are coming for you. Tick Tock … you have one hour to figure out the truth!
Blueprint is Tick Tock Unlock's first game and is one of the best reviewed games in the UK.
Must have experience!
This was one of the coolest experiences that I have had! My group of 5 (including myself) stopped In Leeds on our drive back down from Lake District to Bury Saint Edmunds.
Great fun!
I have now been to both rooms at tick tock unlock and can honestly say it's awesome. The events are well organised and the puzzles are both fun and exciting with friendly staff adding to the experience. Very highly recommended for all ages.
We had a great time and escaped with a minute to spare.
Ages ranged from 10 to 50 and each of us had skills to help solve the puzzles.
We will be back to try 'The Hatch'.

Assalam Alaikom,
I guess you know already that I have been meaning to write this article for a while, perhaps because I start almost every article with that opening. I'm often busy, at the moment I have an idea for an article, with something else that I only note it down along with any major points to recall later. A while ago, during my reading frenzy, which was abruptly cut short by Ramadan and my stumbling through the maze that is Ulysses, I read The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas. It's a famous book, and those who haven't read it still know the title from somewhere. There was a cartoon or Anime about it a long while ago as well. Strangely enough, most of those who heard about it don't know what it's about. I myself only knew it was about three musketeers, doing musketeer stuff, which didn't encourage me to seek it. What's even more strange is that it isn't as heroic as the title would suggest, much like The Great Gatsby in that sense. They both use an appealing title to lure you in then, in the case of Gatsby only, hit you over the head with disappointment.
The Three Musketeers on the other hand is quite amusing and gripping in a way that you can't help but keep reading it cover to cover in one sitting. Dumas also tells the story in a cinematic way where you may have the ability to guess some of the events and secrets of characters without belittling the amusement and thrill of seeing them unfold before you. It's a novel where you don't have to fight boredom, confusion or annoyance. In short it's a very good story and I would recommend anyone to read it.
That said, I still have a few problems with it. If you haven't read the book, I urge you not to continue, otherwise you will not want to read it anymore. It's not a book to be read twice and I will, to a degree, spoil it for you. My first issue is with our protagonist D`Artagnan, who is 20, skillful, handsome, ambitious, strong, hot-headed and exceptionally courageous. That's not what I deduced or noticed reading the book, that's what I have been told numerous times by the writer. One too many times in fact. Not only did the narrator remind us every two chapters or so with the fact that our hero is, well, a hero, but his closest friends seem to feel the need to tell him that every once in a while too. Especially Athos, who is a noble, wise, fatherly man that is respected by D`Artagnan. I recall two occasions but there is more. D`Artagnan's actions, decisions and words would have been more than enough in my opinion to establish how admirable our hero is.
One more thing is about the book, which is that even though it has more than one plot, I know others may disagree, but there is but one villain through most of the novel. Milady. Sounds a bit feminine ? That's because she is a woman. The person that terrified our hero and his three friends, made him run almost naked, and took four grown men to capture and kill, wears a dress. And she isn't even one of those Tsunade-like ninjas that cut men's throats with one hand and nurse a suckling babe with the other, no. She is your everyday beautiful, seductive, and manipulative Jane, Rita or Layla. But everyone is completely fine with the fact that D`Artagnan is scared out of his wits of her. It's true she tried to assassinate and poison him, but any self respecting woman wouldn't stay still after being tricked into sex and have the secret she kept from everyone for years discovered by non other than D`Artagnan, and any self respecting man should at least try to look cool and careless on account of the fact he is a brave skilled swordsman, one of the kings' guards, and is constantly surrounded by armed friends while she is a woman.
Nevertheless, I still maintain that it is a good book and you should read it if you want something light, amusing and worth the time spent on it. There are also two more novels written by Dumas continuing the story of D`Artagnan, Twenty Years After and The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later, but I haven't read them yet.

In the 19th century, the royal courts of Bali enjoyed great prosperity and hosted numerous ceremonies and rituals. To assert their right to rule, and to glorify the gods, rulers commissioned artists to create objects of the highest quality. This king's necklace was commissioned by the palace of Singaraja for an important wedding.
Bali is an Indonesian island small in size but rich in adornment. Its artistic tradition descends from older Javanese styles and the ornate Hindu style of India. As in most cultures of Indonesia, gold was believed to be empowered and able to cause both good and evil. It was also valued as a symbol of high status. This necklace may have been commissioned as part of a larger set of royal adornment by King Gusti Agung Gede Agung in 1890 for a significant wedding ceremony. Almost all of the artworks in the set are made of pure gold, evidence of great wealth.

I've collected some information on European and American flour equivalents from several sites, including the artisan, joepastry, german food guide, practically edible, and wikipedia.
German flours are sold by "Type" (Mehltyp in German) with a corresponding number which indicates the amount of ash (measured in milligrams) obtained from 100 grams of the flour. Here's the closest American equivalent to the most common German types of wheat flour.
|Good for…
|pastry flour
|fine pastries and cakes
|all-purpose flour
|quick breads, biscuits, croissants, cookies, & muffins
|high gluten flour
|breads (and sometimes pizza)
|"first clear" flour
|light grayish looking bread; bagels?
|white whole wheat
|whole wheat
|dense whole wheat bread
I'm not sure where whole wheat pastry flour would fall. I think it has a protein content similar to pastry flour (around 9%), but ash content similar to whole wheat flour (~1.5%).
A caveat: Despite the equivalencies suggested by this table, European flours are not directly comparable with North American flours. There are a number of reasons for this.
First, different varieties of wheat are grown in Europe and the States. For example, American high gluten flour is milled from dark (red) Northern spring wheat, which is not available in Europe. Even when the variety of wheat is the same, when it is grown in different soils and climates, it may end up with slightly different protein levels and distributions.
Also, the protein and ash content numbers listed on U.S. flour are not comparable to the ash content numbers on European flours. In the States protein and ash content are measured at a 14% moisture level. In Europe the measures are done on dry matter.
Even when the protein contents are actually the same, the amount of gluten may be quite different. Wheat flour contains a number of proteins such as albumin, globulin, glutenin, and gliadin. Only the last two, which combine to form gluten, are of interest to the baker. Even when the amount of gluten is the same, the proportion of glutenin to gliadin may differ ( for example, between spring and winter wheats). Consequently, the "protein content" of a flour does not tell you very much. In general, the character of the gluten is quite different in a European flour, not nearly as elastic as the kind you find in American flour. Though Type 550 flours routinely list a protein content of around 11.5 percent, they perform more like a medium-protein American flour, around 9.5 percent. That puts them on par with American all-purpose flours.
Finally, the milling process is quite different. In Europe flours are typically "straight". A straight flour is what you get when you grind a wheat berry, remove most of the brand and germ and a) don't sift it into lots of different grades and b) don't mix it together with other grades from other batches (as American millers usually do). The result is a flour that's coarser than a normal American bread or all-purpose flour.
So when you get right down to it, there's not much about American and European flours that are the same, other than the fact that they're all flours. They're different types of wheat grown in different places, under different conditions, then processed differently and milled differently. The end result is that they behave differently from one another in the same types of applications. Thus, there are no perfect substitutes between the European and American types of flour. However, you can get close. I've listed the closest substitutes in the table above.
Classification used in the USA (from wikipedia)
- Hard Red Spring — Hard, brownish, high protein wheat used for bread and hard baked goods. Bread Flour and high gluten flours are commonly made from hard red spring wheat.
- Hard Red Winter — Hard, brownish, mellow high protein wheat used for bread, hard baked goods and as an adjunct in other flours to increase protein in pastry flour for pie crusts. Some brands of unbleached all-purpose flours are commonly made from hard red winter wheat alone.
- Soft Red Winter — Soft, low protein wheat used for cakes, pie crusts, biscuits, and muffins. Cake flour and pastry flour are made from soft red winter wheat.
- Hard White — Hard, light colored, opaque, chalky, medium protein wheat planted in dry, temperate areas. Used for bread and brewing.
- Soft White — Soft, light colored, very low protein wheat grown in temperate moist areas. Used for pie crusts and pastry. Pastry flour, for example, is sometimes made from soft white winter wheat.
Red wheats may need bleaching, therefore white wheats usually command higher prices than red wheats on the commodities market.
Rye Flour
- Type 815 – for small pastries – ground very fine (White Rye Flour)
- Type – 997 – or 1150 – for light rye bread – ground fine (White Rye Flour)
- Type – 1150 – for regular rye bread – it is little darker then 997, but also ground finely – and is called Graubrot (gray bread) (Medium Rye Flour)
- Type – 1370 – dark rye bread, also used for mixed breads (wheat and rye) is ground even finer (Medium Rye Flour)
- Type – 1800 – whole grain rye used for basic for all full grain breads (Pumpernickel)

75 Years of Minnesota Memories: The First Summer of Business at Cragun's Resort
For more than 75 years, Cragun's Resort has been a premier Minnesota resort where couples, families and friends spend time making memories together.
Cragun's is fortunate in that Merrill Cragun, Sr. recorded some of the early history of resorting in the Pine Beach Area of Brainerd, MN for his son Merrill, Jr. (Dutch). This is the third article in the History of Cragun's Resort series and details the first summer of business.
The First Summer of Business
As everyone learns, costs soon exceed estimates. We had decided that the Lodge should be built at the narrowest point of our property and we could see guests as they came and left. We had to have a small store and office. We were going to place a foundation under the ground floor and then step down to another level. When I (Dutch's father) came up for a Saturday pay day, I found that Dad (Dutch's grandfather) had run into trouble with the "sugar sand" in the hill. It caved in faster than a crew could dig. All week they had been digging and cribbing with logs driven into the bank so they could pour a wall of concrete. That's how the old "playroom" and now the Dutch Room came into existence.
I know you ran into some of the logs when you remodeled and had many problems. But try to envision a foundation sitting on a hill of sugar sand, and you're running out of money. I had borrowed on my life insurance and as much as I could from my bank in St. Paul. I also tapped two of my personal friends for loans. Louise had loaned me her meager savings and borrowed from her credit union.
By the Fourth of July, we had completed the first six cabins, the ice house and enclosed the Lodge first floor. There was a gaping hole in the Lodge floor where the present fireplace was to be but I had run out of money to pay for labor, and besides, when we swept the floor we could just sweep into the hole.
The fireplaces in the main lobby and below that in the Dining Room were built later that summer by Mr. Eckstein of Motley. He built all 4 floors of the fireplace for $125. He brought all of the stones used for the fireplaces from the Motley area and cut each stone by hand – rolling the stone until he found the exact right place and then whacking it with a hammer. Eckstein was of German origin and in German his name means "cornerstone". He brought his teen-age son with him to work every day and the son was responsible for playing German music and running errands while dad worked. He would only build 2 layers at a time so the cement would cure properly. Note the fireplace in the lobby – each stone is exactly matched one side vs. the other. Eckstein also built the fireplaces in the first 7 cabins.
In the summer of 1941, we were open for business. At age 9, Dutch proclaimed himself as the "assistant manager". He welcomed guests, and maintained his work in the bait division in charge of worms, minnows and frogs. He glossed over any adverse situation. I recall him carrying a mouse down the hill, hanging onto the tail. Meeting a guest he exclaimed, "This really isn't a mouse". His enthusiasm was present many of the years except for early adolescence when one guest advised me that he was "the laziest kid they had ever seen". (from Dutch's mother Louise).
At $28 a week ($2.00 per day additional per person, $1.00 for children) on the smallest cabins (1, 2, 5, 6) had a minimum of two persons. Cabins 3 and 4 had a minimum of 3 person and Cabins 7 and 8, after they were completed had a 4 person minimum.
As of October 15, 1941, our first financial statement:
Cabin Rentals $2557.80
Store Sales $ 567.95
Boat Rentals $ 3.50
Electricity $ 106.59 (from meter readings)
Total Sales $3235.84
Cost of Sales $1218.44 (including $131.80 for labor and $270 for
employee meals)
Gross Profit on Sales $2017.40
Expenses $1623.05 (including $300 to Dad)
Net Gain $394.35
Since we were still making monthly payments on our home mortgage and to the credit union and payments on other loans and accounts in the Twin Cities and Brainerd, it was obvious we couldn't make it without refinancing the resort mortgages. We were approved for a new mortgage and signed the paperwork on December 6, 1941 – feeling much relieved. The next day was Sunday, December 7, 1941 – Pearl Harbor Day.
We'll be posting several more articles about the History of Cragun's Resort on this blog so be sure to subscribe and read about all the memories and fun that's happened at Cragun's over the last 75 years.

Improving graduation rates are cause for applause
School districts — such as those serving students in Sandy and Estacada — carry a great responsibility. It's their mission to usher students along the education pathway beginning in kindergarten, and all the way through to their graduation day when they proudly clutch their diplomas.
They aren't successful with every student.
But in the most recent report issued by the Oregon Department of Education, we can find reason to celebrate that the Oregon Trail and Estacada school districts are narrowing the gap. The number of students making it to their commencement ceremonies is on the rise. Even better, the efforts of these local school districts are paying off with graduation rates that exceed the state average.
There are all sorts of studies that have been done that examine the negatives associated with high school dropouts:
• Half of the people on public assistance are high school dropouts.
• 80 percent of people in prisons are high school dropouts.
• Wages for dropouts lag far behind their peers who complete high school, and even further behind those who pursue college or job training after high school. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that dropouts bring in about $20,241 annually, which is $10,000 less than high school graduates and more than $36,000 less than a person holding a bachelor's degree. The poverty rate for dropouts is twice as high as college grads, and the unemployment rate for dropouts is generally 4 percentage points higher than the national average.
• People who receive their high school diplomas are less likely to lose their job.
• Beyond the economics benefits, there's a sense of pride that comes from the accomplishment of completing high school. It's a pivotal moment that can leave a person behind, or catapult them forward into further education and interesting occupations.
In short, it's in everyone's best interest to advocate for improvement in graduation rates.
Local school districts have much to be proud of for these improving numbers. Their determination and programs — designed to engage students and keep them in school — are working.
Oregonians themselves can be proud of having a hand in improving graduation rates through passage of Measure 98 in 2016, which provided funding to establish or expand career and technical education; establish and expand college-level educational opportunities for high school students; and bolster efforts at dropout prevention. Measure 98 is working, and it wouldn't have without voter support.
Congratulations to the Oregon Trail and Estacada school districts for your dedication to students.
Overall, the improving graduation rates are more than mere numbers on a state report; they are proof that when the public and schools work together, great things happen.

An ambitious project to encourage an island community to dramatically cut its electricity use for one day was hindered by bad weather – and a school's decision to bake scones, organisers said today.
The idea of E-Day 2009 on Scilly, the wild and remote collection of islands off the tip of south-west England, was to persuade everyone to turn off as many electrical appliances as possible to highlight how a community could work together to help fight climate change.
In the run-up to yesterday's project, organisers handed out 200 monitors to allow people to see how much electricity they were using. Pubs, families and the Five Islands school were all on board.
Analysis this morning of the islands' consumption revealed that the amount of electricity used had gone down by only 1.2% compared with the previous day.
At one point the school was actually up by 30% because it decided to fire up its ovens to bake scones, although by midnight, after some cajoling from green-minded pupils, it had reduced its consumption by 8%.
Perhaps most encouraging for the organisers was the effort of the Moore family, who were another focus of the project. Partly by spending the evening in one room chatting rather than watching television or going online, they managed to cut their electricity use by 50%.
Meanwhile, consumption in the rest of the UK rose by 1.7% over the same period.
The organiser, Matt Prescott, denied that the project had been a bit of a flop. "The weather was horrendous, which didn't help. It meant that more people were turning on lights and heating. And by any Tuesday electricity use tends to be on the increase, so we were fighting against that," he said.
Prescott said the school could have turned in really impressive results had it not been decided to do some baking. But he said the Moore family had done well, making sure they switched off all electric appliances before leaving for school and work and spending the evening together rather than spread around the house using power in separate rooms.
"I think most people on the island were on board," Prescott said. "The great thing about doing this in an island community is that people are used to doing things for themselves, solving their own problems."
Prescott will now look for another community to repeat the experiment, and hope that next time the weather is more clement and nobody suddenly decides to cheer themselves up by baking loads of scones.

value) is determined by the cost of that portion of the supply which is produced and brought to market at the greatest expense. This is the Law of Value of the third of the three classes into which all commodities are divided.
§ 2. If the portion of produce raised in the most unfavourable circumstances, obtains a value proportioned to its cost of production; all the portions raised in more favourable circumstances, selling as they must do at the same value, obtain a value more than proportioned to their cost of production. Their value is not, correctly speaking, a scarcity value, for it is determined by the circumstances of the production of the commodity, and not by the degree of dearness necessary for keeping down the demand to the level of a limited supply. The owners, however, of those portions of the produce enjoy a privilege; they obtain a value which yields them more than the ordinary profit. If this advantage depends upon any special exemption, such as being free from a tax, or upon any personal advantages, physical or mental, or any peculiar process only known to themselves, or upon the possession of a greater capital than other people, or upon various other things which might be enumerated, they retain it to themselves as an extra gain, over and above the general profits of capital, of the nature, in some sort, of a monopoly profit. But when, as in the case which we are more particularly considering, the advantage depends on the possession of a natural agent of peculiar quality, as for instance of more fertile land than that which determines the general value of the commodity ; and when this natural agent is not owned by themselves ; the person who does own it, is able to exact from them, in the form of rent, the whole extra gain derived from its use. We are thus brought by another road to the Law of Rent, investigated in the concluding chapter of the Second Book. Rent, we again see, is the difference between the unequal returns to different parts of the capital employed on the soil. Whatever surplus any portion of agricultural capital
produces, beyond what is produced by the same amount of capital on the worst soil, or under the most expensive mode of cultivation, which the existing demands of society compel a recourse to; that surplus will naturally be paid as rent from that capital, to the owner of the land on which it is employed.
It was long thought by political economists, among the rest even by Adam Smith, that the produce of land is always at a monopoly value, because (they said) in addition to the ordinary rate of profit, it always yields something further for rent. This we now see to be erroneous. A thing cannot be at a monopoly value, when its supply can be increased to an indefinite extent if we are only willing to incur the cost. If no more corn than the existing quantity is grown, it is because the value has not risen high enough to remunerate any one for growing it. Any land (not re served for other uses, or for pleasure) which at the existing price, and by the existing processes, will yield the ordinary profit, is tolerably certain, unless some artificial hindrance intervenes, to be cultivated, although nothing may be left for rent. As long as there is any land fit for cultivation, which at the existing price cannot be profitably cultivated at all, there must be some land a little better, which will yield the ordinary profit, but allow nothing for rent: and that land, if within the boundary of a farm, will be cultivated by the farmer; if not so, probably by the proprietor, or by some other person on sufferance. Some such land at least, under cultivation, there can scarcely fail to be.
Rent, therefore, forms no part of the cost of production which determines the value of agricultural produce. Circumstances no doubt may be conceived in which it might do so, and very largely too. We can imagine a country so fully peopled, and with all its cultivable soil so completely occupied, that to produce any additional quantity would require more labour than the produce would feed : and if we suppose this to be the condition of the whole world, or of a country debarred from foreign supply, then, if population continued increasing, both the land and its produce would
really rise to a monopoly or scarcity price. But this state of things never can have really existed anywhere, unless possibly in some small island cut off from the rest of the world; nor is there any danger whatever that it should exist. It certainly exists in no known region at present. Monopoly, we have seen, can take effect on value, only through limitation of supply. In all countries of any extent there is more cultivable land than is yet cultivated; and while there is any such surplus, it is the same thing, so far as that quality of land is concerned, as if there were an infinite quantity. What is practically limited in supply is only the better qualities; and even for those, so much rent cannot be demanded as would bring in the competition of the lands not yet in cultivation ; the rent of a piece of land must be somewhat less than the whole excess of its productiveness over that of the best land which it is not yet profitable to cultivate; that is, it must be about equal to the excess above the worst land which it is profitable to cultivate. The land or the capital most unfavourably circumstanced among those actually employed, pays no rent; and that land or capital determines the cost of production which regulates the value of the whole produce. Thus rent is, as we have already seen, no cause of value, but the price of the privilege which the inequality of the returns to different portions of agricultural produce confers on all except the least favoured portion.
Rent, in short, merely equalizes the profits of different farming capitals, by enabling the landlord to appropriate all extra gains occasioned by superiority of natural advantages. If all landlords were unanimously to forego their rent, they would but transfer it to the farmers, without benefiting the consumer; for the existing price of corn would still be an indispensable condition of the production of part of the existing supply, and if a part obtained that price the whole would obtain it. Rent, therefore, unless artificially increased by restrictive laws, is no hurthen on the consumer : it does not raise the price of corn, and is no
otherwise a de'riment to the public, than inasmuch as if the state had retained it, or imposed an equivalent in the shape of a land-tax, it would then have been a fund applicable to general instead of private advantage.
$ 3. Agricultural productions are not the only commodities which have several different costs of production at once, and which, in consequence of that difference, and in proportion to it, afford a rent. Mines are also an instance. Almost all kinds of raw material extracted from the interior of the earth—metals, coals, precious stones, &c., are obtained from mines differing considerably in fertility, that is, yielding very different quantities of the product to the same quantity of labour and capital. This being the case, it is an obvious question, why are not the most fertile mines so worked as to supply the whole market? No such question can arise as to land ; it being self-evident, that the most fertile lands could not possibly be made to supply the whole demand of a fully-peopled country; and even of what they do yield, a part is extorted from them by a labour and outlay as great as that required to grow the same amount on worse land. But it is not so with mines ; at least, not universally. There are, perhaps, cases in which it is impossible to extract from a particular vein, in a given time, more than a certain quantity of ore, because there is only a limited surface of the vein exposed, on which more than a certain number of labourers cannot be simultaneously employed. But this is not true of all mines. In collieries, for example, some other cause of limitation must be sought for. In some instances the owners limit the quantity raised, in order not too rapidly to exhaust the mine : in others there are said to be combinations of owners, to keep up a monopoly price by limiting the production. Whatever be the causes, it is a fact that mines of different degrees of richness are in operation, and since the value of the produce must be proportional to the cost of production at the worst mine (fertility and situation taken together), it is more than propor
tional to that of the best. All mines superior in produce to the worst actually worked, will yield, therefore, a rent equal to the excess. They may yield more; and the worst mine may itself yield a rent. Mines being comparatively few, their qualities do not graduate gently into one another, as the qualities of land do; and the demand may be such as to keep the value of the produce considerably above the cost of production at the worst mine now worked, without being sufficient to bring into operation a still worse. During the interval, the produce is really at a scarcity value.
Fisheries are another example. Fisheries in the open sea are not appropriated, but fisheries in lakes or rivers almost always are so, and likewise oyster-beds or other particular fishing grounds on coasts. We may take salmon fisheries as an example of the whole class. Some rivers are far more productive in salmon than others. None, however, without being exhausted, can supply more than a very limited demand. The demand of a country like England can only be supplied by taking salmon from many different rivers of unequal productiveness, and the value must be sufficient to repay the cost of obtaining the fish from the least productive of these. All others, therefore, will if appropriated afford a rent equal to the value of their superiority. Much higher than this it cannot be, if there are salmon rivers accessible which from distance or inferior productiveness have not yet contributed to supply the market. If there are not, the value, doubtless, may rise to a scarcity rate, and the worst fisheries in use may then yield a considerable rent.
Both in the case of mines and of fisheries, the natural order of events is liable to be interrupted by the opening of a new mine, or a new fishery, of superior quality to some of those already in use. The first effect of such an incident is an increase of the supply ; which of course lowers the value to call forth an increased demand. This reduced value may be no longer sufficient to remunerate the worst of the existing mines or fisheries, and these may consequent

As I'm planning my final semester of graduate school (where did the time go?!), I am faced with the task of finding an internship. As a full-time MBA student, it is highly suggested that I complete a 3-credit internship during my last semester. Because I had a couple of internship experiences during my undergraduate career, I've known I wanted to do another internship since I started my MBA program last fall.
So, what's the importance of an internship? If you're a freshmen or sophomore undergraduate student, you may be wondering what's so great about an internship anyway. As an internship veteran, I cannot stress how important an internship is during your college career.
Let me take you back to February 2010. I knew I would be graduating next spring, and summer was only a few months away. As a communications major, I had been told by classmates and professors that an internship is good way to add work experience to your resume and network in the industry. I had already planned to do an internship in Spring 2011, but that was a year away. Then, I had an idea: what if I did an internship in the summer? I knew I wouldn't receive college credit, but I could gain some work experience. I began my internship search soon after, determined to find a communications-related internship opportunity in the Albany area.
My determination paid off as I secured an internship opportunity as an Outreach Intern for the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. My primary job duty was to encourage registration in the Association's new Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS). I worked about 20 hours a week throughout the summer and learned more about marketing and worked on my cold call skills.
As I began my final year of my undergraduate career in Fall 2010, I worked with my professors to search for an internship opportunity for college credit during Spring 2011. Because of my internship during the summer, I already had internship experience, which was very desirable to employers. I was able to secure a great internship opportunity at the Public Relations Department at Albany Medical Center. I worked there during Spring 2011 and was hired as a part-time consultant last summer.
Because I've experienced great success with internships during my undergraduate career, I'm a big supporter of college students participating in internship opportunities. You not only gain work experience and network with professionals in the industry, but an internship can also give you a competitive edge in the job market. If an employer is looking at two recent college graduates and only one completed an internship in their final semester, the employer may be more likely to hire the graduate that did the internship.
Have you done an internship? If not, are you planning on doing an internship? Share your thoughts below!

Count Witte (1849-1915)
Sergey Witte, Russian premier.
A railway administrator, he became minister of communications in 1892 and minister of finance (1892-1903). He introduced the gold standard, reformed finances, encouraged the development of Russian industries with the help of foreign capital, and opened up Siberia to large-scale colonisation with the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
These measures reduced the gap between the industrial development of Russia and that of Europe and also expanded the Russian industrial proletariat, which was concentrated in a few large cities.
Witte was dismissed in 1903, probably because he opposed the aggressive policy of Tsar Nicholas II in East Asia, but he was recalled in 1905 at the close of the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) to negotiate peace with Japan. He secured unexpectedly favourable terms for Russia in the Treaty of Portsmouth and was rewarded with the title of count.
Returning to Russia during the Revolution of 1905, he was called on by the tsar to draw up the manifesto of October, 1905, by which Nikolay II promised more liberal government under a duma, or legislative assembly.
Appointed premier (October, 1905), Witte failed to gain liberal support against the Social Democrats and the reactionaries. He secured a loan from France and suppressed a workers' uprising in Moscow (December, 1905 - January, 1906).
His resignation was accepted (April, 1906) by Nikolay II, who restored a more conservative regime.

There are some situations in which this procedure will not work.
Sometimes you need to unzip the file locally prior to installing. If you get an error saying that the file is not in the correct format, the need to unzip is a common cause of this. After unzipping try installing the individual items. Note that the files you upload using the installer still need to be zipped.
Sometimes you cannot use the automated installer. For example, very large extensions may exceed the maximum upload size allowed by your host.
First of all you have to make a backup of the component/module/plugin before installing an updated version. You might want to take a look at https://www.akeebabackup.com/
After you have made a backup, please upgrade your component and check if everything is working fine.

Viktor Stalberg scored on a near-breakaway early in the first period to lead Sweden past Germany 1-0 on Friday night in a preliminary round game at the Winter Olympics.
Patrik Zackrisson found a streaking Stalberg with a clearing pass and the 32-year-old veteran of eight NHL seasons rocketed the puck over the stick of German goalie Timo Pielmeier just 2 minutes into the game.
The game was chippy at times, with a scrum in front of the benches at the end of the first period. Both goaltenders dodged close calls throughout and the hard-luck Germans found the post on multiple shots, with another clanging off the crossbar early in the second period before falling harmlessly to the ice in front of the net. Germany outshot Sweden 28-26 but couldn't get one past Jhonas Enroth.
Germany went 0 for 5 on the power play and Sweden was 0 for 3.
Defenseman Rasmus Dahlin, projected by many to be the top NHL draft pick later this year, saw his first playing time after being a healthy scratch in Sweden's opener. He ended up with 4:36 in ice time, none of it in the third period..
Sweden (2-0) will face Finland (2-0) in a Group C showdown on Sunday. Germany will play Norway in a matchup of two teams looking for their first win of the tournament.
