Halong Bay half-day tour
We're looking for a half-day Halong Bay trip from Hanoi that will allow us to be back at our Hanoi hotel by around 4 or 5 pm. We have a flight to board at 7:30 pm that evening.
Any ideas?

It seems not possible.
The road trip takes you already 3,5 hours from Hanoi to Halong Bay for 1 way.
The boat trip trip takes about 4 hours and you have to be at the airport at least 1,5 hours in advance.
The only way to do this is probably using the luxury service of a helicopter in the surburd of Hanoi.

All right, thanks for getting back! Will explore the city instead. about 7 years agoAnswered by Vikram Subhedar via Ask a Nomad iPad app
You go so I'm afraid not. If a longer time, then you can choose the following trips: http://apttravel.com/en/halong-bay-tours.html about 7 years agoAnswered by apttraveltovietnam via Travellr.com
A half day from Hanoi to Halong is too short time coz you spend 4 hours to transfer by car from Hanoi to Halong and back.Hire a private car to Halong at 6:00 Am and have a 4 hours - 6 hours on Halong cruises. http://vietnamcruise-tours.com/Halong-Daily-Cruise/ha-long-6-hours-cruise.html . then back to Hanoi in the afternoon. about 7 years agoAnswered by Jack via WorldNomads.com
Dont rush your vacation! It will be no fun. I would suggest you enjoy the time in the city. Half a day is really tight if you want to travel anywhere more than an hour drive. You may take half day tours in Hanoi I believe. Not sure if travel agencies such as Intrepid or Buffalo Tours have such short tours. But you may try websites listing individual tour guides like www.triip.me. about 7 years agoAnswered by Brian Koh via Travellr.com
Hi Vikram,
It is not easy, it has to take at least 4 hours from Hanoi to Halong bay. Instead of Halong bay, you should go to Hoa Lu - Tam Coc so-called Halong bay on land!

It is impossilbe. Take 2 day 1 night cruise if you can. You may check Escape Sails, Vspirit Premier. Incredible Asia Journeys provide the good cruises to Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay. You may see at: https://www.incredibleasiajourneys.com/ 6 months agoAnswered by Tony via WorldNomads.com

pine after (someone or something)
pine after (someone or something)
To desire or grieve over someone or something so intensely that one becomes depressed or melancholy. You can't just sitting here pining after your ex-boyfriend. It's over—you need to get out there and live your life! I can't stand these kids who pine after the latest, most expensive tech gadgets, even when they literally have no need for them!
pine after someone or somethingand pine for someone or something; pine over someone or something
to long for or grieve for someone or something. Bob pined after Doris for weeks after she left. Dan is still pining for his lost dog. There is no point in pining over Claire.

Very Smart Brothas' Damon Young gives his comedic take on what happens when we idealize high-profile African-American couples.
Step 1: Find a famous Black couple, and hold them and their relationships up as infallible paragons of everything right with Black love, Black dating, Black relationships, Black sex, and Black marriage
It does not matter if this couple is real (Barack and Michelle, Will and Jada, Jay-Z and Bey, etc), fictional (Cliff and Claire, Martin and Gina, Darius and Nina, Dwayne and Whitley, etc), swingers (Will and Jada), dead swingers (Ossie and Ruby), weird as f*ck (Will and Jada, again), or figments of your f*cking imagination (the uber-modern and fulfilling relationships we assume Common, Andre 3000, and Mos Def have with women because, well, they're Common, Andre 3000, and Mos Def).
In fact, it doesn't even matter if the couples contain people you personally wouldn't date because of your excessively arbitrary standards (Darius is too short, Barack and Will are too lightskinneded, Dwayne is a nerd, Ossie was old even when he was young, Whitley is too bougie, Michelle and Claire are a bit too tall, educated, and independent, Nina is kind of a ho, Gina definitely rocks a headwrap and curlers to bed, etc). As long as they're Black and they're together, they're benchmarks.
Step 2: Refer to said couples by their first names
Doing this obviously makes logistical sense. Some couples are so iconic there's no need to say their full names when mentioning them. Also, it's just easier to say and/or type "Barack and Michelle" instead of "Barack Obama and Michelle Obama" …

The Double Crank Handle
One of my favorite angling writers is O. Warren Smith, who in addition to several books, wrote many articles in the early years of the last century. He also served as the Angling Editor of Outdoor Life for some years. As an Angling Editor he was expected to review new developments in fishing tackle. Today's write up appeared in the October 1916 issue of Outdoor Life along with several other items under the heading: "Some Odd Casting Reels and Special Attachments."One forgets how strange new developments sometime seem when first observed. Such was the case with the "double crank handle" when it first began to appear on casting reels. One writer of the day even ventured the opinion that one's fingers would become hopelessly entangled in such a contraption! Today it is the single griped, counter balanced handle that seems somewhat out-of-place in bass-sized baitcasting reels.
-- Dr. Todd

While we're a duo when it comes to eating out, when it comes to craft beer, Kristina is a solo act. It's only fitting that we learned about Women in Beer, an event that focuses on women's contributions to the craft beer community taking place at Growlers Beer Bistro in Tuckahoe on this Thursday.
As part of Hudson Valley Craft Beer Week, the event will allow guests to sample craft specialties from 17 breweries, enter a free raffle for prizes, and interact with the women who work for those breweries in a variety of capacities, from brewing to marketing and distribution.
Growlers plans to provide one tap line to each female representative, giving attendees an opportunity to sample craft specialties from New York State breweries including local ones such as Captain Lawrence Brewing Company (Elmsford), Broken Bow Brewery (Tuckahoe) and Yonkers Brewing Company (Yonkers).
Others include KelSo Brewery (Brooklyn), Empire Brewing Company (Syracuse), Rushing Duck Brewing Company (Chester), Keegan Ales (Kingston), Ithaca Beer Company (Ithaca), Peekskill Brewery (Peekskill), Third Rail Beer (New York City), Newburgh Brewing Company (Newburgh) and North River Hops and Brewing (Wappingers Falls). Tap lines will also be reserved for women representing craft beers from around the country including Dogfish Head Brewery, Avery Brewing Company, 21st Amendment Brewery, and Allagash Brewing Company.
Growlers offers 17 taps with beers that rotate as the kegs run dry and the ever-changing menu provides true craft beer lovers with a way to try the best ales, stouts and lagers that the area's – and the country's – most innovative small breweries have to offer.
"We have beer events every Thursday night," said Growlers owner, Eric Lorberfeld. "Normally, we'll have just one featured brewery. The Women in Beer event is special because it will give guests an opportunity to sample a wider variety of beers than we'd normally offer at our events, but also because it will give customers a chance to talk to multiple women in the industry about their experiences and their breweries' products and history." Unfortunately, we have plans on Thursday, but we look forward to visiting Growlers soon. Let us know if you check out the event!Women in Beer Event Thursday, September 17, 7-10pm Growlers Beer Bistro 25 Main Street Tuckahoe, NY 10707

DEA Comments on Raggy Charters Chumming Incident
Wednesday, March 30th, 2011 at 9:30 am
The PE Herald newspaper this morning reported that the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) has finally commented on the furore raging about Raggy Charters' chumming for birds and/or sharks just off Hobie Beach. Lloyd Edwards of Raggy Charters admitted to the PE Herald on 29 March that he was effectively chumming just off Hobie Beach. The admission amounts to a breach of a number of laws as detailed in the blog article "PE operator caught chumming illegally: DEA Remains Silent", below.
The DEA confirms that it is "investigating" the incident and that it does not support chumming in proximity to swimming beaches or "swimming events" but then bizarrely the DEA spokesperson, Zolile Nqayi, states that they are considering amendments to current legislation to regulate this kind of activity! Wait a minute, does DEA honestly believe that current legislation does not regulate and prohibit "such activity" unless proper permits are in place (which they were not in this case).
Is DEA not aware of the provisions of the WSCD Regulations which prohibit chumming unless the operator is an authorised WSCD operator adhering to strict chumming guidelines? Is DEA not aware of the provisions of the Sea Birds Act which prohibits the disturbance of gulls unless a permit specifically authorises the disturbance? Is the DEA not aware of the provisions of its flag-ship piece of legislation, the Integrated Coastal Management Act, which prohibits the unlawful dumping of effluent which is what chumming amounts to in these circumstances?
Or does DEA just think that we are all just gullible fools and that we cant see through their woeful attempt to once again "protect" Raggy Charters" on the farcical basis that the law currently does not regulate and criminalise this dangerous conduct?
In 2004 Feike's Shaheen Moolla, then serving as head of compliance at Marine and Coastal Management, successfully revoked the white shark cage diving authorisation of a Cape Town based operator because of illegal and dangerous chumming. The laws were in place then to act against such arrogant and dangerous thugs; they are still in place and in fact even clearer now.
DEA if you fail to act and enforce the laws you charged with implementing that aim to protect our marine ecology and the public, you will simply confirm what we all already suspect.
Postscript: The reference to the Kabuso Report is to the still secret report which details extensive corruption, fraud and mismanagement at the PE (Nelson Mandela Bay) Municipality. Apparently one of the justifications by the ANC for keeping it secret still is that the findings of corruption etc are so damning that if revealed it could adversely affect the entire province's economy! Is it not tragic that a municipality so utterly wracked by corruption and failure is named after a man who represents the very opposite?

Waist Cincher Corsets (also known as Waist Training corsets) concentrate primarily on the waist and like its name states 'cinches' or restrains the waist. It's the perfect corset for an instant hour-glass figure. Good quality steel boned waist cincher corsets, you can expect a reduction of 6-7 inches. Out of all of the corset types, the waist cincher will offer you the best waist reduction as it concentrates just on this area. The level of support a waist cincher corset would give you is the best you can get out of all of the corset types.
Please note, if you decide you want to do long term waist training, it is something not to be taken lightly. Make sure before you do anything to get plenty of information and expert medical advice.
Corset Styles:
There are different main styles of corsets to choose from:
Underbust Corset:
This type of corset starts under the breasts and extends down at the hips leaving the breasts exposed.
Overbust Corset:
This type of corset covers the hips and bust. It may cover a portion or the entire cleavage.
Waist Cincher:
Unlike corsets which narrow from the hips to ribs, the waist cincher is a 6-8 inches wide belt and sits on the waist to make it smaller.
Choosing the frontal shape of your corset to flatter your bust shape:
Straight: A-B cup – for the smaller bust
Sweetheart: Medium to large bust
Plunge/Scoop: Bustier ladies – DD cups and over
Waist cinchers are short corsets, usually cut high over the hip and in some cases stop a couple inches below the underbust line. I usually measure cinchers by the height of the side seam – if it's 8″ or less on the side, it may fall into the "cincher" range, and most cinchers are 6-7″ high (although I have seen cinchers or 'waspies' as short as 4″ on the side!).
Those with shorter waists (or who are short of stature) may wear a cincher and have it fit like a full-length corset, so petite women can save money on waist training by purchasing a made-to-measure cincher, so it fits her body perfectly. A cincher can also accentuate outfits as a wide belt on those with longer waists. There is one caveat though; many companies don't make cinchers in larger sizes as they don't provide any support for soft and low-hanging tummies. The following corsetieres and businesses deliver curves in a teeny package.

From the bus station: by Taxi
From the Busstation (1001 Company) to the hostel by Taxi: 5 mins, R$ 25
From the bus station: by Public transport
Public transport by Mini-Van: To enter the Van cross the road of the bus station. All vans will stop there because it's the entrance to the city center. Take the minivan in direction to Geriba. It takes 10 mins and costs R$ 2,80 per person + 1.000 mts walking distance from were you have to get off the mini bus! If you take the public minibus you have to tell the driver you want to get off at 'Trevo da Barbuda'.
From there you cross the street to your left (you pass a shop that sells wood – Madeira ITA) and follow Rua Vieira Camara to your right side in direction to the beach. 100 meters before the beach you will find the Lagoa Beach Hostel Buzios on the left side. Just ring the bell at the colourful entrance area – one of our team member will be happy to welcome you and to help you with your luggage.
If you arrive with a lot of luggage you should better use the Taxi. Because there is not much space in the minivans and the the road to the hostel is not the best to walk with a lot of things on you.

Troubleshooting Browser High CPU Utilization in Firefox
Generally, these issues can be caused by one of a few things – troublesome extensions or themes, a corrupt user profile or 3rd party conflict. I'll walk you through troubleshooting each type of issue – hopefully one of the proposed resolutions will help you out!
Troubleshooting Extensions and Themes
The most likely cause of the high CPU usage will be a problematic extension or theme. Luckily it's pretty easy to troubleshoot this. You'll want to start Firefox up in Safe mode. If you can't reproduce the issue of high CPU, you've likely found your culprit.
To start Firefox in safe mode, go to Start, Run and type the path to the Firefox.exe along with "-safe-mode". If you installed Firefox in the default location, you'd run : "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode.
When Firefox starts, you will want to press the "Continue in safe mode" button (Figure 1). Once you determine what the issue is, you can make a permanent change using the checkboxes on the Safe Mode startup screen.
If the issue persists, you'll want to continue on with the rest of this article. If the issue is resolved, you'll want to start by disabling all add-ons and use a default theme.
Corrupt Profiles
The next likely cause of high CPU usage is that of a corrupt user profile. You'll want to create a new profile to determine if it resolves the issue.
Make sure Firefox is closed. Go to Start, Run and enter "firefox.exe –ProfileManager" to start the Profile Manager.
- Click Create Profile
- In the Profile Wizard, click Next
- Enter a name for the new profile (Figure 2) and click Finish
- Back at the Profile Manager, select the new profile and click Start Firefox
Try to reproduce the problem. If the issue is no longer occurring, you can transfer bookmarks and other profile information from your old profile by following directions from Mozilla's Firefox site - here. If the problem isn't resolved, keep reading.
Other Ideas
If the above ideas fail to resolve your problem, there are still a few things you can do to try to resolve the issue.
Update Firefox – This may seem obvious, but if you're running an older version of Firefox, it's probably best you update – not only to get any performance benefits, but to plug any known security holes. You can always find the latest version of Firefox on the Firefox web site.
If you notice the problem occurs when you are running a flash video, you may try updating the Adobe Flash player for Firefox. You can find this here.
Another possible issue is interference with another program running – one possible culprit is your anti-virus application. You may try disabling the real-time scanning to see if the issue still occurs. If disabling the scanner fixes the issue, check for an update with your antivirus vendor.
The last step would be to completely remove and reinstall Firefox. Be sure to start with a new profile as outlined above.
Hopefully one of these tips will help you out!

Rahul's family responsible for UP's backwardness: Raj
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray on Monday held the Nehru-Gandhi family "responsible" for the lack of development in Uttar Pradesh.
"All prominent Nehru-Gandhi family members got elected from Uttar Pradesh, but they have not worked for development there," the MNS chief alleged.
"They have won from Uttar Pradesh and enjoyed power for so many years. People migrate to other states because of lack of development in Uttar Pradesh and the Nehru-Gandhi family is responsible for it," he maintained.
The MNS leader's comment came hours after Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi's statement on migration of people from UP to other states for jobs.
Please click NEXT to read further...
Image: MNS chief Raj Thackeray
'How long will you beg in Maharashtra?'
Speaking at a rally in Phulpur, Rahul said, "People of Uttar Pradesh are appreciated for their hard work, wherever they go in search of job. How long will you beg in Maharashtra (for work)? How long will you work as labourers in Punjab?"
Maintaining that the Congress general secretary has a "low understanding" of history, Raj said the Amethi MP needs to be more informed.
"He should check the history of Maharashtra and also find out who destroyed Uttar Pradesh." The MNS leader said the people from Uttar Pradesh should know who had made them "beg".

'It is an insult of the people from UP and Bihar'
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Gopinath Munde slammed Gandhi for his remark over migration of people from the country's most populous state.
"If somebody goes to other states in search of work, it should not be equated with begging. It is an insult of the people from UP and Bihar," Munde said.

'Isn't it regionalism?'
Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray was also critical of Rahul's statement.
"Isn't it regionalism? When we speak on the issue, we are criticised for promoting regionalism. Rahul Gandhi is deliberating trying to disturb social balance in the country," he claimed.

The Instructors of Splié Fitness
Anna Wendell
Anna Wendell was born and raised right here in South Lake Tahoe to a very active and health conscious family. She spent her growing up years biking, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and playing team sports. Needless to say, the importance of health and physical activity was instilled in Anna at an early age.
Anna's passion for fitness began to blossom in 2006 when she decided to get into "the best shape of her life" one year before her upcoming wedding to her wonderful husband.
Not knowing what to do really in a gym, she started taking group fitness classes on a regular basis. It was through that group atmosphere that Anna found she was inspired and motivated by her instructors and fellow class participants. Attending these classes soon became a regular part of her lifestyle!
In March of 2013, Anna decided to take her passion for health and fitness to the next level by attending SCW Mania Fitness Convention and obtaining her first certification which was Schwinn Indoor Cycling. She began teaching spin classes shortly after at Splié.
Being an accomplished road cyclist (2013 Death Ride Finisher), she excelled as a spin instructor by creating fun challenging rides with the goal of bringing the outdoor riding experience indoors!
After spending a couple years focusing on being a spin instructor, Anna decided to further her fitness career and became an AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor in September of 2015. Shortly after she completed TRX Suspension Training Course (Level 1 Rank White) and obtained her Jillian Michaels Body Shred certification in March 2016.
Anna is dedicated to furthering her education and remaining up to date on the latest fitness trends to help her be at the top of her game. She has also completed her ACE Personal Trainer Certification.
Margaret Sagucka
Margaret was first introduced to indoor cycling in 2004, after taking her first class, she was hooked! Since then she has received her Schwinn Spin Certification in April 2015 and Barre Ballet Certification, March 2016
Margaret believes that working out is not just about getting in shape, it's about becoming stronger mentally and emotionally as well.
Margaret has always had a passion for music and strongly believes that music is what motivates people, as a result, Margaret is always creating fun lively playlists for her class. She puts a lot of practice, time, effort and thought into her playlists and carefully scripts an entire "show."
In Margaret's Rebel Cyclist Spin Class you will lose yourself in the music while at the same time get a total body workout!
Indoor cycling gave Margaret the strength, courage and confidence to find her passion.
Now it's about giving back what you receive.

I've refused to buy a number of products over the years for various reasons: political/economic boycotts for iceberg lettuce, orange juice and the like.
But there have also been commercials out there that have just offended my sensibilities.
One was for a drink mix from Pillsbury called Funny Face, targeted to compete with Kool Aid. Not only did the character on this particular envelope look like a caricature, if memory serves, he also sounded like one. It's no surprise that the product was replaced by a more generic Choo Choo Cherry a couple years later.

One who loves G-d does not need to be instructed to do so. By contrast one who does not love G-d telling one to do so won't change their mind.
"Moses then told the Jewish people that the proper response to G‑d's self-revelation through the Torah is to fulfill His commandments out of love.
If someone loves G‑d, he does not need to be told to do so; if he does not love G‑d, telling him to will not change his mind. Therefore, both the medieval sage Rabbi Moses Maimonides and the founder of Chasidism, Rabbi Yisrael Ba'al Shem Tov, explain this verse to be both a commandment and a promise. We are commanded to contemplate the unity of G‑d, which is described in the preceding verse – "Hear, O Israel, G‑d is our G‑d, G‑d is one." If we meditate on the meaning of this verse deeply enough, we are assured that will we indeed thereby come to love G‑d.1Derech Mitzvotecha 199b

If the importance of disability insurance wasn't clear before, it certainly is now.
For those who are not already covered, one great option for doctors is the DInamic Foundation disability insurance policy offered by Ameritas.
Below is an overview of DInamic Foundation's key provisions and features.
Ameritas disability insurance basics
The Ameritas disability insurance policy, DInamic Foundation, is issued by American Life Insurance Corporation in approved states. In the state of New York, the policy is issued by American Life Insurance Corporation of New York.
Does it have an own-occupation provision? Most medical occupations can select an own occupation definition of disability for the length of the benefit period. For physicians and dentists, your medical specialty is considered your own occupation and you'll be paid benefits if you are unable to work in that specialty due to accident or illness.
For certain occupation classes, own occupation is only available for 5 years, meaning that after you've received benefits for five years, you must not be able to work in any profession to be considered totally disabled.
Is the policy non cancelable or guaranteed renewable? You can choose between having non cancelable coverage or guaranteed renewable.
How are pre-disability earnings determined? The company will take your average monthly earning for the 12 months and 24 months prior to your disability and use whichever is higher.
What is the maximum benefit period? To age 70
Does the policy pay benefits for mental disorders? Ameritas has a two-year limitation on coverage for mental disorders/substance abuse.
Cost-of-living-adjustment Rider (COLA): The Ameritas disability insurance policy, Dinamic Foundation, offers two cost of living adjustment riders.
One determines the cost of living benefit by multiplying the monthly income benefit by 3 percent for each year you are disabled, while the other COLA rider uses an Index Ratio based on the Consumer Price Index before your disability (the Initial Index) and on each benefit anniversary following your disability (the Current Index).
The Index Ratio will be the lesser of:
- The Current Index divided by the Initial Index; or
- 1 + 6 percent, compounded annually.
This ratio will never be less than 1.
Your adjusted monthly benefit is equal to the Index Ratio multiplied by your contractual monthly benefit.
Residual Disability Riders: Ameritas has two residual disability riders that applicants can choose from – a basic and enhanced version.
The basic residual rider pays a residual benefit if you have:
- A 15 percent or more decline in earnings; AND
- Either you are unable to perform all of the "material and substantial duties of your occupation; OR you are unable to work in your occupation at least 80 percent of the time prior to your disability.
This rider will pay a benefit equal to the lesser of:
- 50 percent of your base monthly benefit for total disability; or
- Your loss of earnings / prior monthly earnings x base monthly benefit.
Under the enhanced residual rider:
- The requirements for residual disability and the benefit payment formulas are the same as the basic residual disability rider.
- One difference with the company's enhanced rider is that if your loss of monthly earnings is more than 75 percent, you will be considered totally disabled and paid 100 percent of your policy's benefit amount.
- There is also a recovery benefit. If you've returned to work but your income is at least 15 percent of your pre-disability earnings, you will be paid a recovery benefit. The benefit will be based on the loss of income and payable up to the maximum benefit period.
Future Increase Option and Automatic Increase Riders: The Future Increase Option Rider enables you to increase your base monthly benefit without providing evidence of insurability, up to three times your base monthly benefit. You can exercise the full amount on any policy anniversary through age 40. After age 40, you can exercise half the base benefit through age 55. Exercising the future increase option will require additional premium.
The Automatic Increase Rider enables you to increase your monthly disability benefit by 4 percent on your policy anniversary for the first five years without additional underwriting.
Catastrophic Disability Rider: This rider provides additional benefits, up to 3 times the base benefit for total disability or a maximum of $10,000 a month in the event you are unable to perform at least two of the six activities for daily living.
Additional policy benefits
The following provisions are included in the base policy with no additional premium charge:
Good Health Benefit: For every consecutive policy year in which you do not receive benefits, the company will reduce the elimination period by two days, though it will not be lowered to less than 30 days.
Presumptive total disability benefit: The policy will waive your elimination period if you sustain a total loss of at least one of the following: sight in both eyes,hearing in both ears, use of both hands, use of both feet, use of one hand and one foot. The loss is not required to be permanent and the elimination period would be waived even if you are able to work.
COBRA premium benefit: The policy will pay a maximum benefit of $1,000 for 18 months to help you pay for COBRA medical plan premiums if you become unemployed following a disability.
Partial disability benefit: This benefit is only available with a guaranteed renewable policy and only if you do not elect a residual disability rider. It provides a benefit equal to half the benefit for total disability. It's paid for a maximum of 12 months if you are unable to perform at least one of your main duties or can only work up to 50 percent of the time prior to disability.
Nondisabling injury benefit: The policy will pay for treatment by either a physician or a dentist resulting from an injury. Payment will be the half your monthly benefit for total disability up to a maximum of $3,000.

Office 2007 SP1 Screws Up Visual Studio 2008 Web Projects?
Posted by Dan Vanderboom on December 12, 2007
Early this morning I installed the Windows automatic updates that were waiting for me. A message informed me that updates would be made to Visual Web Developer as well as Expression Web, both of which are installed on my laptop. After a reboot, some more updates, and a second reboot, I opened my Visual Studio solutions eager to be productive.
Oops. That never looks good. And my web application project was unavailable. It was working before I installed Windows updates. What could be wrong? Why can't I get a useful error message that at least gives a clue about what it was attempting when it hit this brick wall? "A funny thing happened on my way to load your web project…"
Because I noticed the message about the Office service pack updating Visual Web Developer, and being that my web project was suddenly not working, my first instinct was to uninstall the service pack. According to this article, however…
… this isn't supported. Great. Second instinct: uninstall Office 2007. Damn. That's going to take a lot of time.
My boss suggested creating a fresh web site project and testing that. Good idea. I was able to successfully create a new web application, so the web developer component must not have gotten completely hosed. I then started to copy all of the project files from my real web project into this new, experimental project folder. This kind of operation can be a royal pain in the butt. Visual Studio has had really poor support for including existing folders in a project, at least from what I've seen. "Add existing" files works great, just how you'd expect, but try adding a folder of files once. I dare you. I get one of two behaviors. One, it pulls the files from within that folder, and instead of creating a new folder in the project and placing the files nicely in there, it dumps those files into the root project folder. Two, it ignores you completely and doesn't copy squat. The second strategy is the one it chose for me today. It might have to do with the fact that I tried to "add existing" and chose both files and folders of files at the same time. The files copied; the folders did not.
This is a good lesson of what not to do for those of you learning how to build user interfaces. When I want to include a folder, I want that folder to be represented in the project, and I want it to recursively add all the files and subfolders, etc., in it as well. Anything else seems ridiculous.
So the trick that I use is to open both project files in Notepad, source and destination; I copy the <ItemGroup> sections from one to the other; and when I save the changes and focus on Visual Studio app, I get prompted to reload the project. I do this piece by piece, because I have several ItemGroup sections. I'm hoping to find a group of files that causes Visual Studio to freak out. But the files and folders get added and everything looks okay. I add the last ItemGroup, this time of References, and compile. The build succeeds. How could this be?! If I have the same collection of files in two projects, why is one unavailable and the other is working just fine?
It must be some kind of project property. Looking through the .csproj file, I found a section at the end called <ProjectExtensions>. Both files had one, but the settings are a little different. As soon as I saved those changes and reloaded the project in Visual Studio, my new test web application project blew up with the COMException, and the project became unavailable in Solution Explorer. Bingo!
This is what my new test project looked like before I messed it up by pasting over it:
And here's what my real (messed up) application's ProjectExtensions looked like:
The element of importance here is UseIIS. In the working test project, it's set to False, because by default a web application will use the internal Cassini web server. But we had been publishing and testing against an IIS server.
Then I noticed that my User Account Control (UAC) for Windows Vista had turned itself back on. This really annoyed me. After trying to deal with it for a while, I finally turned the damn thing off. I can't stand being told that access is denied when trying to perform the simplest operations. It seems that every time I take Windows updates, it turns this back on. I really can't stand this behavior.
When I once again disabled UAC, this whole problem went away. It would seem that Visual Studio was running into some UAC restriction by being set up for IIS with this project setting, but instead of UAC popping up to tell me about it, or Visual Studio reporting sensibly what it was trying to accomplish, I get a very useless COMException and an unavailable web project.
Why would the server you connect to be a project setting to be checked into source control and shared with the rest of the team? Seems that this should be a user setting, so that one developer can use Cassini, another IIS, etc. Sharing a list of available test web servers would be nice, but that would make more sense to be independent of Visual Studio solutions.
After losing a couple hours trying to troubleshoot this problem, I was finally able to move on. Key point to remember: Visual Studio 2008 isn't yet completely Vista friendly.

AIAA Space 2016 and Flat-Spin Recovery19 Sep 2016
I just got back from the 2016 AIAA Space Conference in Long Beach, California where I presented a paper that grew out of some work I did on KickSat related the classic flat-spin recovery problem. A flat spin occurs when a spacecraft that is intended to spin about its minor axis of inertia (long axis) finds itself spinning about its major axis of inertia (short axis). This problem dates back all the way to Explorer 1, the first satellite launched by the U.S., and a variety of solutions have been proposed over the years. Most of them, however, are not able to control the polarity of the spacecraft as it comes out of the flat spin, possibly resulting in a 180 degree rotation from the desired orientation.
I discovered a Lyapunov-based controller law that solves this problem, guaranteeing that a spinning spacecraft will return to the desired final spin orientation. In math lingo, the control law is almost-globally asymptotically stabilizing. If you're still with me, have a look at the paper. Here's a plot of the trajectory traced out by the angular momentum vector of a satellite during a flat spin recovery using the new controller:

Earlier this year a close friend of mine took a break from the rat race we call "furthering our careers" and set off to explore the Indian landscape on his newly acquired Royal Enfield. I envied him. I still do. He travels all over the country, taking pictures, meeting people, relaxing in different places – the usual travel stuff. But little did I know that running away to a far away land to "further my career" would not leave me trailing behind very far. Yes, I'm not atop a mountain sipping tea made by a chaiwallah who gets the leaves from shrubs in his backyard. But I am also meeting people of various cultures. I get to talk to people from different countries and enjoy conversing with them. So this post is dedicated to all those short encounters I had with people at airports, train stations, mountain hikes, etc.
I have always enjoyed conversations, more so during journeys. These conversations become more interesting when they are with people I have never met before. It is fascinating to hear their stories, their takes on life, hear about the things they've seen and experienced and share a couple of stories from your life too. Of course sometimes the conversation happens entirely in my head because I am too intimidated by myself. I don't want to come off as a creep or as being intrusive. But if the situation leads me to it and the other person/persons don't seem too abhorrent by my verbal advances, why the hell not? You've gained yourself a new short-time acquaintance that you probably will never meet again.
So the first such encounter that I can recollect, as I write this, was at a train station in North India (I forget which city it was). Our train was inordinately delayed and everyone in my family was super tired. We were sitting in the waiting hall, half asleep, half brain-dead, too bored to do anything at all. An old man sat next to me and greeted me with a smiling "Hi!" Now as a kid we've all heard this from our parents, "Don't talk to strangers". They say this out of concern. The big bad world out there isn't always friendly and isn't always what it portrays itself to be. But being the gregarious and rebellious teen that I was, I struck up a conversation with him. We spoke at length about my life, what I was studying, what I liked and disliked about science, about my vacations (my dad has ensured that I have at least 2 every year) and a lot more. The old man spoke about his time in the merchant navy, his mountaineering expeditions with his wife, his daughter in Europe studying medicine and how the merchant navy was much more fun than their military counterpart. I found out that there was such a thing as the merchant navy only that evening. I boarded the train wondering whether I wanted to join the navy or whether I really wanted to continue being the nerd that I was, stuck in science classes, listening to lectures about DNA and protein synthesis.
My second such encounter was at the Chennai airport. I met a young lady who (till date) beat around the bush when I approached the topic of asking about her occupation but seemed like an interesting enough person nonetheless. We spoke at length about ourselves and it surfaced in conversation that I was going to Assam for my vacation and that she was from Assam herself. She ended up giving me her number and suggesting places to visit in Guwahati while I was in Assam and we still keep in touch, I guess :P (if double-tapping her Instagram posts counts as keeping in touch).
Soon I realized that all it took to strike up a conversation with someone was to figure out whether they want to talk to you or not. Few people will label you a creep when you try to start a conversation with them. But of course, this didn't make my inhibitions any easier to handle. I still restrain myself from walking up to that stranger or even someone new in my dormitory and saying, "Hi!" I'm too used to completing conversations in my head. Maybe that will change? Who knows?
Anyway, I have had many such encounters since – the young entrepreneur at Delhi who walked me to the metro station, the old Swiss grandma who helped me find my tram, the Russian girl I met during a very difficult hike up a mountain, countless people I have met at parties, airports and classrooms - the list goes on. The most recent of such experiences was a flight I shared with a German couple who were going back home after their vacation at Sri Lanka. I would've kept to myself, engrossed in music, sleep and the in-flight movies, if it weren't for the gruesome hour's delay at the Muscat airport. I was in the plane, in my seat, seatbelt buckled and asleep, 5 minutes before the scheduled departure of the aircraft. I wake up 45 minutes later, sweating like a pig, dehydrated and groggy from the sleep. But hey, I picked a window seat so that I could enjoy the view when I had nothing better to do while I waited to get to Zürich. So I look out the window and I see Arabic font declaring to me that I was still in Muscat.
What the hell? I look around and quickly realize that the airplane was still on the runway, probably waiting for clearance. The journey from Muscat to Zürich was painful as it is. 7 hours in an airplane isn't really the most exciting of prospects. An extra hour on the clock, inside the cabin, doesn't make the journey any more fun than it already is. I look over to my left and see this guy reading a German version of what appears to be a Stephen King novel. Before my instinctive, "Will I creep him out?" kicked in, I spilled my grouse at him, "Do you know why we're still stuck here?" He closed his book and looked over and gave me a shrug. Okay. "No conversations today" I thought to myself when he suddenly said, "I just wish my dad doesn't have to wait at the airport in Zürich. Parking is bloody expensive there!" From there the conversation carried on. We spoke about everything from hawkers in Sri Lanka, judging people's moods, to the weather in Freiburg and the best place to find a particular type of bread in Italy. It seems he was a bartender at a theme park in Germany (which he claimed was the best place on earth) and his girlfriend (or was it his wife?) was some F&B manager at the same place. Suddenly I didn't dread the 7 hour journey. Time flies when you're engrossed in discussing the intricacies of the German language and how irritating its grammar is. We spoke for about 5 hours and watched our respective movies in between.
Without getting into the intricate details of the conversation, I can assure you that it was added to my list of 'Random encounters with strangers who I will never meet again but still enjoyed talking to'. So, seemingly joining the rat race didn't hinder my opportunities to meet new people and find out about different cultures at all! Ha Nadit! Ha! I'm not missing out on the fun altogether! :P
So if you see me somewhere and you're as bored and agenda-less as I seem to be, just come over and say hi! I can't promise to be the most interesting person on earth, but I can promise to keep the conversation going!
Cheers :)

Murphy Beds started one of the longest and strangest trends in bedroom design: the concealed, fold-down wall bed concept. In some ways, Boxetti's most recent attempt is much like the original idea, but by integrating surrounding storage spaces (drawers, cabinets and closet area) the goal is less to 'hide away' the bed than it is to celebrate the modern modular nature of this dynamic sleeping unit.
Like the other modules in the Boxetti furniture and interior design series, as much as possible is packed into an appealing, small and self-contained box, designed to save space and make installation as simple as setting the object in place. In this case, a double bed folds down, night stand folds out and wardrobe slides open all from the same side.
Moreover, the entire unit can be operated manually or by remote control and even comes in with a built-in, ambiance-adding light fixture for mood lighting or light reading at night. Shelves, drawers and clothing rail are all neatly tucked in at appropriate heights around the central fold-out-bed piece. As such, the entire unit would work well for someone with a small studio apartment space or in a living room as an extra 'instant' bedroom-on-demand for guests.

1 thought on ""ʞuıɥ⊥ ʞuıɥ⊥ ʞuıɥ⊥""
As a career worrier I can say it never helped any situation and left me anxious and I acted out inappropriately many times. because my thinking was askew!
I have tools to dispute my dangerous thinking now and very grateful for that.

I was washing my pump parts in the sink with my back to Kit and Ellie. Kit was sweet talking Ellie trying to convince her to be good for the diaper change. All of a sudden I heard this loud squirt and Kit said, "Aw, crap."
"Are you okay?" I asked.
The nurse peeked in from the bed next to Ellie's and laughed. "That's what she did to me yesterday except I had gloves on."
"I'm going to need your help," Kit said to me.
I came over to the bedside to see poop all over both Ellie's dirty and clean diapers, her receiving blanket, her quilt, the bottom wall of her bed and Kit's hands. Hehe.
While Kit washed his hands, I got Ellie cleaned up, and together we put a clean diaper on her. She calmed right down and was ready for her cuddle with daddy. Kit on the other hand was ready for a nap (or at least some video game playing) to relieve the stress he had just encountered. Having a baby can be so fun.
As for Ellie's health, she weighed in at 2 pounds, 13.2 ounces last night. Today the doctor increased her calories to 27 per ounce. She's still getting 7 cc of milk every hour via continuous drip feeding since they don't want to increase her fluid intake too much with her CPAP on as it can cause problems.
Last night Kit and I went to a NICU parents group meeting. The meeting happens once a month and is led by former NICU parents. It was a good chance to meet some other families and to hear their stories. We arrived a little late so we missed the story of the parents of the little boy next to Ellie; however, we did get to talk with them more after and found out they live pretty close to us.
It's hard to explain what it's like being a NICU parent, especially to be one who has a baby there for more than just a few days or even a couple of weeks. It's a very difficult and vulnerable place to be. I didn't realize until last night the fullness of the strangeness. I've always been a pretty independent person and haven't ever been in a place like this where I basically can't do anything but rely on the Lord and on other people. (It's ironic what the Lord does when you ask Him for wisdom and to teach you to trust fully in Him - a prayer Kit and I had been praying more fervently in the weeks leading up to Ellie's birth.) It was nice last night to be with a group of people in the same place of difficulty and vulnerability and to hear that others are going through the same things we are.
Showing off her cute pink flower socks last night. She loves to kick her feet out of the end of her blankets.
Looking bright eyed and adorable. This photo really shows how much the CPAP hat is stretching her little head.
She kicked up her legs just as I took this picture. She wanted to show you all her amazing kicking skills.


text: In the classic television series Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister, the cynical public servant, Sir Humphrey Appleby, was often wont to observe that politicians like busyness and activity, it being their substitute for actual achievement. Of course, this cynicism highlights the fact that busyness and activity can often be a smokescreen for the fact that while we think change is occurring and achievements are taking place, in reality the status quo remains.

To paraphrase Burt Bacharach, what the world needs now is…another set-top box? San Jose, Calif.-based 2Wire thinks so and has launched MediaPoint, a box that delivers video over broadband directly to your TV. But unlike other set-top manufacturers, 2Wire isn't trying to sell this box directly to consumers.
The MediaPoint box supports both SD and HD content, has 8 GB of internal storage and features all the requisite connections such as HDMI, component, composite, etc., and has wireless capabilities. In addition to receiving content via broadband, MediaPoint includes UPnP and DLNA support so you can stream video and music or access photos from networked PCs in your home.
All this for $99. But don't run out to the store asking for one. 2Wire is selling MediaPoint through broadband service providers, who can customize the box to best fit their business needs. 2Wire already has existing relationships with the likes of AT&T (s t), BT Group (s bt) and Qwest (s q).
According to Jonathan Symonds, vice president of product marketing and management, MediaPoint is not intended to be a primary set-top box in the home but rather an add-on, like a gift-with-purchase that telcos can offer to get customers to sign up for service. 2Wire says it has a number of customers lined up already and will be announcing at least one of them later this month.
Sezmi, a newcomer to the set-top space, is also looking to provide its on-demand TV solution through broadband providers. The company is supposed to begin trials of its product at the end of this year.

|¿Estan listos?; Are you ready? Empecemos!, Let's start!
|The most used informal greeting is:
|[slowly] Hola.
|Hola means "hi," or "hello". We can use it in formal and informal situations, at any time of day. It's very convenient. Hola!
|Now let's look at some greetings that are used at certain times of day.
|First is "good morning".
|"Good morning" in Spanish is
|Buenos días.
|[slowly] Buenos días.
|Buenos días literally means "good day", but we use it to mean "good morning".
|During the day, we say:
|Buenas tardes.
|[slowly] Buenas tardes.
|Buenas tardes means "good afternoon".
|This can be used all day, as long as it's light outside.
|Again, buenas tardes.
|Once it starts to get dark, you can switch to this:
|Buenas noches.
|[slowly] Buenas noches.
|Buenas noches means "good evening" or "good night", depending on the situation. If you're greeting someone in the evening, it means "good evening". If you're speaking to someone before you go to sleep, it means "good night".
|Again, that's: Buenas noches.
|Now you can greet people in many different ways in Spanish!
|Let's review them all again.
|As a general greeting:
|In the morning:
|Buenos días.
|In the afternoon, or during the day:
|Buenas tardes.
|In the evening, or at night:
|Buenas noches.
|Pretty easy, right?
|Now it's time for Lucia's Insights.
|If you're not sure which greeting is appropriate to use - buenos días, buenas tardes, or buenas noches - just remember that hola can be used any time of day.
|During the next lesson you'll learn the meaning of ¿Habla ingles?. Do you already know it? In our next lesson you'll learn this phrase and more!
|Hasta la próxima! See you soon!

Team SpanishPod101.com
Thanks for this lesson.
I was in Cuba and people would say : Buenos dia (no s) is it just the way they pronounce it?
A gardener told me you says Buenos dias to more that one person and Buenos dia to only one but... I does not seem right.
I also in heard Buen dia.

Last month Yivo Institute in New York staged a lecture on European history that may itself be a piece of Jewish history: for it showed how a legendary anti-Semitic episode was mythologized and exploited by Jews and anti-Semites in ways that shape Jewish ideas of safety to this day. Steven Zipperstein's talk focused on the Kishinev pogrom in Russian in April 1903, when 49 Jews were killed over two days, and as many raped; and he sought to demolish a "canonic" American Jewish belief, that the czar was behind the massacre.
The Stanford professor of Jewish history was introduced by Jonathan Brent, director of Yivo, who established the theme of the evening when he said that the intellectual and cultural medium American Jews exist in today draws on ideas about anti-Semitism in Europe. Our understanding of our victimization was based on parents' and grandparents' remembrances, and echoed in synagogues, the movies and popular literature. But these ideas involve black and white ideas of good and evil.
"When I was a kid and my father was feeling expansive," Brent said, "he would summarize Jewish history in approximately the following way. 'The Germans were the worst, the Poles were worse than the Germans, the Lithuanians were worse than the Poles, and the Ukrainians were worse than anybody. Except the Romanians.' And this was the Jewish history that I grew up with." Brent then related that when the phone rang in his grandmother's apartment she would continue dusting as she made her way to the phone, by which time the caller had hung up. She would lift the receiver and curse in Yiddish, Anti-Semite.
The purpose of the lecture, Brent said, was to lift a "veil" on "the complexity and the deep profound ambiguity of so many of the issues that have moved us over a 1000 years of history." I.e., it's not that simple.
Zipperstein, a noted author on Jewish history, spoke for more than an hour and said that the central myth of the Kishinev pogrom, based on half-truths projected by a global press responsive to the burgeoning immigrant Jewish community on New York's Lower East Side, was that the Russian government—the czar– had fostered the pogrom and then failed to defend Jews in Russia's fifth largest city. In fact, Zipperstein said, a radical rightwing circle of anti-Semites was responsible for the pogrom.
These same pogromchiks were likely also responsible for the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the legendary text about international Jewish control, which came out two years after the pogrom. The Protocols are generally attributed to the Russian government. But this theory is surely inaccurate, Zipperstein said. While Russian leaders had deeply conservative and old-fashioned anti-Semitic views and saw Jews as radicals who could foment revolution and threaten the rule of the Romanovs, these conceptions were mild next to the anti-Semitism of the likely authors of the Protocols, "apocalyptic" and latently fascist radicals who sought to generate instability out of fear that they were losing their Russia to an exploitative caste who had access to the world's press.
Zipperstein almost apologized for reaching this conclusion. The political ramifications of his research ran contrary to what he believed. But he had come to understand that some of "my deepest political beliefs are predicated on historical half-truths."
Zipperstein went further, exploring the factual basis for the anti-Semites' belief that Kishinev was the heart of a worldwide conspiracy of Jewish Zionists and leftwingers.
"This is fantasy to be sure, but like much fantasy there was an internal logic…Most legends spring from facts, as [British historian] A.J.P. Taylor once observed," Zipperstein said.
Kishinev was one of four bureaus of the Zionist movement led by Theodor Herzl. Here Dr. Jakob Bernstein-Kogan headed worldwide correspondence efforts for the Zionists and had contacts to the world press. The second night of the pogrom, Bernstein-Kogan raised tens of thousands of roubles from wealthy Jews in Kishinev to relieve the victims, and used runners and telegrams to get news and photographs of the atrocities out to the newspapers abroad via Russia's western border with Romania.
Soon Kishinev became a cause celebre in London and New York, commanding the attention of the world press in a way that no Russian event had before. Millions were raised for the Kishinev victims, and William Randolph Hearst put a daily appeal for the victims on the front page of his New York Journal in an effort to gain Jewish support for his run to be NY governor and later the Democratic nomination for the presidency (both unsuccessful). Hearst also hired the Irish revolutionary Michael Davitt to write about Kishinev, and Davitt became a hero to American Jews—the subject of poems and plays. Jewish groups gave copies of Davitt's book on the massacre to American leaders.
Similarly, the Forward, which was then a socialist Jewish newspaper, ran endless accounts of Kishinev in order to stoke opposition to the Russian monarchy and support for continued Russian Jewish immigration to the United States.
These new "engines" of information drove a "cascade of Jewish public opinion" that was shocking to Russian anti-Semites, and that seemed to confirm their view of an international conspiracy, Zipperstein said. They saw "the claws of worldwide Jewry being stretched in a way that was terrifying."
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is generally thought to be a forgery "produced in the recesses of the Russian government." But citing many clues, including the fact that the Russian government's dossier on Bernstein-Kogan was largely accurate and not overblown, Zipperstein said that the Protocols were most likely the work of the radical anti-Semitic circle. That group was led by a Kishinev editor, Pavel Krushevan, who published the Protocols in 1905 in his St Petersburg newspaper.
If the Protocols were a forgery representing anti-Semites' views of Jewish motives, "the Plehve letter" was a forgery on the other side, caricaturing the Russian government's thinking. Published in The Times of London a month after the pogrom, the letter was purportedly signed two weeks before the pogrom by the Russian minister of the interior, Vacheslav von Plehve. It ordered local authorities not to crack down too hard on anti-Jewish rioters lest they turn their rage on the regime.
The Plehve letter was a "smoking gun" that attained "the most unassailable" and "canonic" status in Jewish consciousness, Zipperstein said: it showed that the Russian government was in on the pogrom. And it was "all but certainly a forgery," he said. The Russian government denied it at the time, the police director said that Plehve had nothing to do with the pogrom, and researchers who later scoured the Romanov archives for it found nothing, even as they found embarrassing documents by Plehve.
Nonetheless, Jews widely blame the czar for Kishinev. Zipperstein said this was "the most resonant of all lessons to learn from the massacre, namely that the government at the highest levelwas directly responsible for it all, that it was intent on wreaking havoc, perhaps little less than the annihilation of its Jews." (I have asserted that the czar was behind the massacre. So does John Judis in his new book on Truman. So did Noam Chomsky recently on Democracy Now).
Zipperstein said the belief in the czar's role in the massacre became the "resilient glue" of liberal Jewish identity in the U.S. "Vast and large and emblematic," Kishinev's mythology informed the Jewish understanding of right and left and our relationship to non-Jews and to government. It produced Jewish support for the NAACP and Barack Obama, and rendered the word pogrom "sketchily used before… into a phenomenon not less intrinsically Russian than vodka and the czar itself."
During the q-and-a, Zipperstein said that only a fraction of the Jews emigrating from Russia were fleeing actual pogroms, but Kishinev represented for them the darkest example of a miserable life. (And I reflected, few of the Palestinians fleeing the Nakba actually had experienced a massacre, but they feared the worst.)
The message of Zipperstein's lecture was that both Jews and Russians regarded one another through distorted lenses, exaggerating the other's power. He considered this chiefly from the Jewish point of view, more frequently assailing the Russian than the Jewish exaggeration (and not saying that Jews forged the Plehve letter, even as he accused Krushevan's circle of fabricating the Protocols).
And I would add one stipulation to Zipperstein's dismissal of the anti-Semites. He said the rightwing anti-Semites believed the Zionists' outlandish claims; and so when Zionists announced plans to buy land in Palestine in 1901 and even set up a bank to that end in Europe, these Russians feared that Jews would take over the holy places in Jerusalem. As I have repeated several times here, Herzl sought to allay these fears by promising the czar (and the pope, and Kaiser and sultan too) that the holy places of Jerusalem would remain internationalized. Below is my photograph of Muslim worshipers at Ramadan in 2012, walking under Jewish flags in East Jerusalem, which is occupied by Israel. The Kishinev Russians were hateful and murderous, but some of their concerns about Zionism look reasonable.
Flags over the crowds going to pray at Al-Aqsa
Update: I told Zipperstein about this post and he offered two corrections:
I never proposed that I was the first to discover that tsarist authorities weren't responsible for the Kishinev pogrom. This is well-known in scholarly circles, and [commenter] Stephen Shenfield is certainly correct that the best examination of the origins of the pogroms is the work of – my teacher – Hans Rogger. Second, by no means were Zionists the only ones to transmute the lessons of Kishinev's pogrom into the heart of their politics. No less influential was the influence of the massacre – and its ostensible lessons – on the Jewish Socialist Labor Bund, and many others on the non-Zionist left. Your focus — singleminded, it seems to me — on the perfidy of Zionism obscured for you the broader ramifications of what I sought to argue in my talk.

In case you hadn't heard, Skorne is a strong faction now, and Makeda 1 is one of their Warlocks that I really don't want to play against unless the Scenario massively favors me.
Unfortunately, that's what I ended up playing against. My opponent had a shooting heavy Morghoul 2 list with no Soulward, and that ultimately meant he would be playing Makeda 1 against my massively Stealth heavy lists.
Makeda 1
- Marketh
- Molik Karn
- Gladiator
- Krea
Legends of Halaak
Min Beast Handlers
I dropped Una:
Una 2
- Pureblood
- Gorax
- Scarsfell x7
Shifting Stone x2
Sentry Stone x2
Blackclad x2
I won the roll off and windmill slammed going first. The Scenario was Extraction.
My opponent deployed pretty central, just like me. Side note - beautiful paint jobs man.
And we were off!
Circle turn 1:
Time to run at him and force out his feat turn 1.
Mirage on the Pureblood, Hand of Fate on a Sentry unit, and everything runs. Una gets into the little pocket of clouds and forests where she will stay the entire game.
Skorne turn 1:
He does something similar. Quicken on the Keltarri, Ferox runs.
He spends about five minutes carefully arranging the models around Makeda so that no small bases can fit next to her, and he does an amazing job of screening off his beasts from charges.
Unfortunately for him, his placement in the back wasn't quite so perfect, and I was about to capitalize on that.
Circle turn 2:
This turn began the long hilarity of both players' dice. I couldn't hit fives for anything, and he got to dodge his Ferox around no less than six times.
Una kept her spells, and she went first and popped Feat.
Griffons ran, three engaging Karn in the backfield, and a few more getting in around Radheim.
I killed a few Keltarri with Hand of Fate and back arcs getting me the odd hit here and there, but that was basically my turn.
Skorne turn 2:
He was in a bit of a mess and he knew it. His Keltarri attacked Mannikins, Shifting Stones, and a Blackclad. I'd made the Stones sacrificial lambs to stop his Legends from doing much.
He got one or two Ferox onto the Pureblood, but he also couldn't roll to hit and so the beast took a few points.
Circle turn 3:
I leached Fury, and the first Griffon went to work on Karn, doing....five.
I was able to kill Karn with a second Griffon, headbutt Makeda with a third, and wail on her with a fourth, but because I was a moron and didn't kill the Gladiator like I should have before going in on her (Hand of Fate on the Pureblood would have done it I think), she survived on...one box? I did kill the Gladiator, all the Ferox, a few more Keltarri, and most of the Krea though.
Skorne turn 3:
He gets to do things, and birds start dying.
One of the legends smites a griffon into another griffon, rolling all sixes for damage and one shotting the bird. Various other griffons get massively wounded, but Makeda is still engaged by two Griffons at the end of the turn.
Circle turn 4:
I try for Scenario, but I can't kill the Keltarri worth anything, and settle for getting one point.
Makeda dies to beaks and claws.
Score 1-0
Victory for the Druids!
Post Game Thoughts:
My opponent played such a tight game here. He gave me exactly one opening and man did I go after it hard. I was super impressed with his play and with his list AND with his painting ANDDDD with his manner. He was super friendly and extremely enjoyable to play with.
On to round three.

Warrior's Path S.P., Kingsport, TN–Some people see a world filled with darkness and danger, a world where the future hangs like a foreboding storm cloud.
Some see anyone who believes differently from them as their enemy.
Some view strangers with suspicion and distrust.
Some even fear the simple, empty alleyway.
How can this be?
Because most people see the world through their mind and not through their eyes. Through their fears and not through their heart.
Most people see thoughts–but not Truth.
