He was struggling internally, she could feel it. She knew why, and so did he.
"I've been on my own for a long time now."
He tensed, his fingers flexing on her hips. Whoops, wrong thing to say.
"I know that, Madison." She opened her mouth to speak. "You're not anymore."
She opened her mouth again.
"Not ever again," he added.
He turned her then and looked down at her with determination in his eyes. Daring her to negate his statement. "Patrick—"
"I found you again. Or you found me. Whichever. But never again, Madison."
She was silent for a beat, and then she felt her heart begin to thunder. Oh God, she was going to hyperventilate.
She shook her head and then asked the question that had been on her mind for a month. "What are you doing?" It came out a bit like an accusation. She looked up at him and watched him grind his jaw, his hands on her hips using the same rhythm.
"What am I doing?"
"What I should have done eight years ago."
She glanced over his shoulder, thinking back to those eight years. She had woken up to her parents, and as much as she'd hated it, she'd wanted him there, too "What do you mean?"
He looked at her for more than a few seconds, his gaze searching hers, and then he just seemed to look into her. "I knew your eyes the second I opened mine," he said as if it were some sort of explanation. Goosebumps erupted all over her arms. "I could never forget them. Ever." Still, she said nothing. "I saw them all the time. Every day for eight years."
She looked down. Their waists were almost touching. He had done that before. Careful not to connect them there. She leaned her lower half into him. Another first. And then he pulled her closer. She looked back up.
"I should have never walked out of that hospital, Madison." He sounded so sure.
"Patrick..." She shook her head. "It's okay that you did."
"No. It's not." He said it with finality. "I knew it was wrong then. I just ignored what I knew or maybe thought that I couldn't be right. That I was misidentifying the feeling. That it was inappropriate for me to have those feelings then."
What was he talking about? "What feelings?" she asked.
But he ignored her and kept going. "You were so scared. I didn't know you, and I wanted to take it all away. All the time you spent there. Clear it from your mind." His gaze was now over her shoulder, staring out the window.
"And you needed me. You leaned on me, slept on me. Held my hand when we got to the hospital. I should have never left. At first, I told myself it was the right thing to do. You didn't know me. You didn't need me. I convinced myself that I was making it up. That what I was feeling was to make me feel better. I couldn't save them all. I saved you. So, I told myself that this was all just me trying to take away my guilt...and that you really didn't need me. But then, after time had passed and I saw your face more clearly...the way you had looked up at me in that basement. The way you looked at me in the Jeep. In the hospital. I knew leaving was a mistake. You did need me."
Madison was silent through it all. His explanation, though disjointed, was perfectly clear. She continued to look up at him. She had no clue what to say, so she didn't say anything.
"And then I realized it wasn't just about what you needed. It was about what I needed. I needed you and to be there for you. To see you through it. And I could've found you, but...I didn't. I stayed away."
"Why?" she whispered.
He looked down at her then. "Because I knew Madison. I knew." As if this were an entirely understandable explanation.
"You knew what, Patrick?
He stared at her, unblinking, and then said, "That you were mine."

Seduction in Seville (The Men of FTI, Book #2 ) Blurb
In a hospital in Seville, Spain, Patrick Kane lies in a coma. Ambushed and shot while protecting someone important to him, he fights to survive.
She never thought she would see him again. Patrick, the man who'd brought her back.
Eight years ago, Patrick Kane, a joint partner in Fairlane Trade International, descended into a basement of horrors. That horrible day he rescued many women, but one he would always remember. Her beautiful doe eyes filled his dreams and haunted his nightmares.
Madison Lockwood, a nurse, has struggled to put her past behind her, trying to forget the time she spent in captivity. But she recognizes the man who rescued her and brought her out of that terrifying reality. She owes him her life. Patrick is gravely injured, and Madison vows to see him through.
When Patrick opens his eyes, he instantly knows that he made a mistake leaving Madison after freeing her from the clutches of a human trafficking ring. She is meant to be his. As Patrick tries to win over a wary Madison, the past they both thought was gone for good comes back with a vengeance. One by one, the survivors of the horrific ordeal are being murdered. Patrick knows that Madison will be next if he doesn't protect her.
Together they must fight for their survival. Seduction In Seville, book two in the Men of FTI series, is a tale of redemption, murder, new beginnings, and love that takes the reader on a wild, exotic ride.

|Case- Maker Caddisflies
There were hundreds of these Case-Maker Caddidflies clinging to the rocks in the calm shallow water areas. Some were actually crawling around, seeming to jockey for position and intercept some rays of sun.
Case-Maker Caddisflies are of the (Limnephildae) family. They live in stationary waters and can be found in the streams margins and calm backwaters.They are climbers and clingers and do not attach their cases to the substrate. They are shredders and feed upon decaying vegetation. The stick-worms in the photo are probably from the genus Pycnopsyche and will hatch into adults during mid-summer. No matter what you want to call them; they are fish food. There are millions of them out there in the streams and they are available year-round. They don't look like Power-bait either, do they?

48 hours with Google Glass
A couple weeks back I was able to borrow Google Glass for 48 hours, and I wanted to maximize my time - so besides sleeping (and showering) - I wore them non-stop. Even when my wife kept asking "Are you really going to wear those out?" and my kids saying "Where did you get those cool glasses!" (they still ask about them) - I wore them, talked to them, tapped them, and scrolled through the virtual interface floating in front of my face.
There is no better way to share something than with photos - so here are 48 hours of photos and videos from Glass: Click/tap on an image to view a larger version. All images had a little post-processing in Analog.
First thing after work, I hooked Glass up to my google account, which was quick and easy - and I was off and running. We went out for tacos that night, and I swear people were whispering and pointing, but I'd been told that would happen.
My lovely wife on her antiquated mobile device ;-) (I think she was taking the photo above)
Then we took a trip over to Target to pick up some things. No funny looks there.
Easy to take some hands free driving photos.
Cart race!
Heading out.
Oh, look - there's a cool car!
Heading home with the 8yo, board games come out.
Then time for bed.
Next morning, hot English breakfast tea.
Next up, pick up the little one from Grandpa.
"Dad, what's that on your face?"
Off to work!
Plane overhead.
All this time I'm saying "Just a FYI, I just took your photo." Hopefully that's enough :-)
Me. Accidental photo from Jay.
Accidental video from Jay.
The Sabre corridor.
Kevin again, I don't think he knew I was taking this.
The office.
Then we had a gathering at the office with the CEO (intern awards), and taking Glass into a large group was interesting - ended up letting around 10+ people give them a go. I had my Nexas 7, so I could mirror the Glass display for a small group to see.
Sam our (now) former CEO.
I think this was when Joaquin had the Glass on. That's Mark in the photo with me.
This is the only photo not from the Glass (obviously) - that's Joaquin sporting the Glass. This was taken with my NX1000.
Heading out, there's Tony and Brian.
Then heading home, time to play with the 3yo.
Round & round!
He likes cars.
Time for some crafts.
Paper airplanes!
Ready to fly!
Test flight.
Getting ready for bed.
Books. Some Moomin I picked up in the UK.
And time to go to sleep.
There you go. 48 hours of photos from Glass.
It's really simple, and unobtrusive to take photos. You find yourself just taking them here and there to see what you'll get. The quality is really pretty good, and when you charge your glass for the night, your photos are automatically backed up to your Google+ account where you can then download them from any browser.
I probably took 100s of photos in this short amount of time, but I tend to take too many photos anyways.
Worth $1500 and a plane ticket to SFO or NYC? Probably not yet for me. It's a great conversation starter. Good camera. Good video camera. Interesting way to consume bursts of information from twitter, email, news, etc...
It will only get better in time, and cheaper as well.
As always, I look forward to the future!

For more information on admission to Clintonville Academy via the EdChoice Scholarship Program, visit the EdChoice site or call us at (614) 267-4799.
Frequently Asked Questions:
When should I start the application process?
Please begin the application process during the early fall one year prior to the anticipated enrollment of your child.
What kind of students are admitted to Clintonville Academy?
Our goal is to ensure that Clintonville Academy is the right "fit" for the student, family, and school. CA looks for students who are motivated to achieve academic success and want to become responsible global citizens. A typical CA student is one who will not only give 100% in our academic, extra-curricular and co-curricular programs, but will, in return, contribute to the Clintonville Academy community: academically, artistically, athletically, and socially.
Does Clintonville Academy accept students with learning differences?
A student with a mild learning difference will most likely be successful at Clintonville Academy if:
• The student demonstrates emotional stability.
• The student possess a strong work ethic.
• The student's learning difference is managed, medically or therapeutically, in such a way that the student completes assigned work, maintains focus and works independently.
• The student compensates for his learning difference utilizing minimal accomodations.
• In most cases, a student with severe learning differences or multiple learning differences may not be successful at CA.
In our experience, students with one or more of the following characteristics may be at risk at Clintonville Academy:
• Below average aptitude or achievement
• Deficiency in written expressions
• Lack of initiative or motivation
• Multiple learning differences
• Lack of commitment to school work
• Tardiness
• Poor attendance
• Lack of respect for others
At what age do students begin our Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten programs?
Students beginning Pre-Kindergarten must be four years old before the first day of school, the year they start Pre-K. Kindergarten students must be five years old before the first day of school, the year they start Kindergarten. All Kindergarten students take an entrance evaluation to be sure they are ready for an all-day program.
When may I tour the campus?
You may scehdule a private tour with the school Registrar, Julie Liggett, or attend one of the Open Houses that are scheduled throughout the year. Please e-mail Julie Liggett to set up a campus tour.
Should my child visit the school?
Yes! Applicants are warmly welcomed during the admissions process. A full-day visit provides an opportunity to become familiar with Clintonville Academy by spending a day in the classroom and meeting potential classmates and teachers.
Does Clintonville Academy provide transportation?
Clintonville Academy owns a school bus which is used to transport students for field trips and sporting events. Any CA family who lives over two miles from the school is entitled to bus transportation through their home school district or financial reimbursement for mileage from the district in which they live.
Do you offer scholarships or financial aid?
Scholarships are available to families who have been members of Clintonville Academy for at least one year. Students must maintain a "B" average and a conduct score of at least 88%. Scholarships are issued for financial need and give parents a 25% discount in tuition for the year.
Where do Clintonville Academy's families live?
Our families come from more than 25 zip codes in central Ohio, including Worthington, Dublin, Grove City, Reynoldsburg, Pataskala, Canal Winchester, Gahanna, Westerville, Buckeye Lake, Hilliard, and of course, Clintonville, among others!
How does the school communicate with parents?
At Clintonville Academy, parents are an integral part of the learning environment – therefore the relationships between the school and our parents is very important to us. We encourage open communication between parents and members of the faculty and administration. Through daily e-mails, the weekly "Cougar Courier" update, and face-to-face communication, we strive to keep parents informed of every step of their child's education.
Are parents involved in the school?
Clintonville Academy parents are encouraged to participate in the life of the school. Parents volunteer on a regular basis at the school and participate on a number of school committees if they are part of the tuition service credit program. Many CA parents choose to share their skills and expertise with our school, which is a great way for their children to see leadership and volunteerism.
Are there before- and after-school programs?
An extended day program for students in Pre-Kindergarten through grade 8 is offered each day for regular daily care or on a drop-in basis. Three to four staff members run the weekly latchkey program. CA Plus is a daycare program planned for teacher planning days, conference days, and early dismissal days.
Does Clintonville Academy have a summer program?
Yes! CA offers a summer program open to our own students and their friends. The program includes field trips, swim club days, movies, games, library visits, and more. Summer program information is sent out every April.
Where do Clintonville Academy graduates typically go after 8th grade?
Our students go on to independent, public, and parochial schools throughout the greater Columbus area including Bishop Watterson, DeSales, The Metro School, Columbus Alternative, Worthington Schools, and The Wellington School, among others. Clintonville Academy graduates have a reputation within the secondary school community for being strongly prepared for and enthusiastic about the academic rigors of high school.

Deluxe Maintenance Kit (For SFS Canisters) Includes:
- Large Triangular Vacuum Head
- Telescoping Pole
- Leaf Net
- 21' White Vacuum Hose
- Standard Maintenance Kit (For Ring Pools) Includes:
-Small Square Vacuum Head
-Telescoping Pole
-Leaf Net
How to use the Leaf Net
1. Insert the leaf net into the end of the telescopic pole.
2. Adjust the pole to desired length.
3. Use the leaf net to scoop out leaves and debris inside the pool.
How to use the Vacuum Head with the SkimmerPlus Filter Pump System (Deluxe Kit Only)
1. Insert the Vacuum Head to the Telescopic Pole. Adjust the pole to desired length
2. Tighten the plug located at the rear of the vacuum head.
3. Connect the Flexible Hose to the Vacuum Head and secure with the Hose Clamp.
4. Prime the hose by dunking the hose completely under water until there is no air inside it. There will be no suction if this step is skipped.
5. Remove the weir from the skimmer pump by turning it away from the pump and pulling.
6. With the skimmer pump running, insert the vacuum adapter through the skimmer pump intake opening and place the adapter on top of the skimmer strainer. The vacuum generated will suck the vacuum adapter in place. If the vacuum adapter does not fit snug, hold the bottom of the canister and gently push down until it does. Attach the other end of the hose to the vacuum adapter.
7. Vacuum your pool by slowly moving the vacuum head across the pool floor. Avoid stirring up piles of debris or dirt that might have accumulated on the floor.
8. After you are finished vacuuming the pool, remove the vacuum head from the water. Detach the vacuum adapter form the Skimmer Canister. Reattach the weir to the canister.
How to use the Venturi action system (if you do not have an SFS canister)
1. Connect the Vacuum Head to the Telescopic Pole. Adjust the pole to desired length.
2. Unscrew the plug from the Vacuum Head.
3. Connect a 5/8-inch garden hose to the Vacuum Head; tighten by turning the lock nut.
4. Attach the Vacuum Bag (sock) to the Vacuum Head, using the draw string to tighten the bag.
5. Place the Vacuum Head inside the pool, connect the garden hose to a water supply and turn it on. This will create the Venturi vacuum action at the vacuum head, and dirt will be sucked into the vacuum bag.
6. Vacuum the pool by slowly moving the vacuum head across the pool floor. avoid stirring up piles of debris or dirt that might have accumulated on the floor.
7. After you are done vacuuming or when the vacuum bag is filled, move the vacuum head to the side wall of the pool, turn the vacuum head upside down, shut off the water supply and remove the vacuum head from the water slowly. Detach the vacuum bag and rinse with running water. Hang the bag to dry.

A survey this week by a travel insurance specialist found that 70 per cent of holidaymakers did not realise that they will be required to cover the costs of medical treatment should they sustain an injury while under the influence of alcohol. A further 80 per cent of those surveyed admitted to getting "very drunk" while abroad.
"We advise all travellers to think twice before drinking heavily on holiday this summer", said Stuart Bensusan, insurance director at EssentialTravel.co.uk, the London-based company that carried out the research.
"Obviously holidaymakers should be free to enjoy a drink, but they need to drink responsibly and take necessary precautions, such as drinking lots of water and leaving personal items in the hotel," he added.
According to EssentialTravel.co.uk, the most common insurance claim rejected due to evidence of excessive alcohol intake is for the loss of personal items, such as a passport, wallet, camera or mobile phone.
Around 28 per cent of "drunken holiday claims" were made following personal accidents, including moped falls, while 19 per cent of claimants were injured during a fight. A further 21 per cent claimed for the cost of hospital fees after suffering alcohol-related dehydration or alcohol poisoning.
"There is no set limit for alcohol consumption - claims are considered on a case-by-case basis," said a spokeswoman for EssentialTravel.co.uk. "But if a medical report suggests that alcohol consumption was a factor, or if the insurer has reason to suspect it is, then the claim could be invalidated."
Hospitalisation in Europe can cost between £870 and £1,300 per day, according to CEGA, a leading claims and assistance company. Medical bills following a broken limb can amount to several thousands of pounds, while an air ambulance from Tenerife to Britain, for example, will cost an estimated £20,000.
A survey conducted earlier this year by Insure and Go revealed that 13 per cent of skiers and snowboarders admit to taking to the slopes while drunk.

text: Thamaire 0 Posted April 30, 2013 I've searched a lot here and there to find the answer about this one, so I am sorry if I am repeating a previous post. Yesterday, me, my love and friends, played and at some point into the game, we ran into a bit of a conflict. I was the OL and I had in my choice of monsters the Hybrid sentinels. Here is the question : -If the Hybrid Sentinel uses his fire breath on a hero who has 2 Might, does all the heroes affected in the fire breath suffers the additional damage even if they have higher than 2 Might? It might be the wording that makes me believe that it could be possible, because Prey on the weak states that if the target of the attack has 2 or fewer might, he suffers +1 damage. But then on Fire Breath, it is stated that ALL figures on it's path are "Affected" by the attack. So to resume, we are very curious about it since we can't find any kind of errata about it! Hope to hear about it soon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not Immune
Today's reading: 2 Samuel 11:1-27
I'm thankful for the realness of the Bible and that God wants us to see and learn from the examples and life situations, both good and bad, of those who lived before us. So while the entire account of David and Bathsheba is disheartening, there is good that comes from this story in that it shows us that no one is exempt from falling into sin of all kinds.
I always find this passage difficult to read because, honestly, it's a little scary to see David, the man after God's heart, giving in to his sinful desires and falling so hard so quickly. I can't read this story and not consider the fact that I'm no different than David--absolutely susceptible to, and capable of, great sin. "Thank you, God, for putting before us this hard but needed cautionary reminder."
The account of David and Bathsheba provides a number of lessons about sin. What did you see or learn about sin from this story? Tami

Expert: Don't be a cubicle coder
SearchSAP.com site expert Jon Reed offers a short to-do list for programmers who want to stay safe when outsourcing trends threaten their jobs.
The explosion of SAP programming jobs in the 1990s is backfiring for those who sought the high-paying positions, according to SearchSAP.com career and certification expert Jon Reed, managing editor of SAPtips.com.
Many people moved into the programming arena with visions of a long-term career path, but corporate IT departments are not willing to spend time training or retraining programmers after they're hired, Reed said.
"A 15-year programmer with no experience in the latest version of Java is not considered a relevant resource for a Java job opening," Reed said.
Also, ABAP programmers could earn $150 an hour in the late '90s, motivating a lot of people to move into the field, creating a glut in the market, he said.
Now, companies have targeted ABAP programming jobs for outsourcing, Reed said. A coding project can be outsourced on a piecemeal basis, and the code can get delivered pretty effectively, he said.
In an interview with SearchSAP.com, he offered advice on how to avoid losing an SAP job to the outsourcing trend.
Don't be a "cubicle coder." Develop a stake in the corporate business process and develop communication skills so that you are invaluable working with users and functional team members.
Develop team leadership skills. Programmers should rarely abandon programming for either management or functional work, but management can work out for some, and it's good to be recognized for managerial skills.
Learn new technologies. This includes SAP Business Warehouse (BW), portals and Web-related development skills like Java and XML. The more a programmer is equipped with cutting-edge skills, the less likely he is to be outsourced.
Certifications. Certifications will expand a programmer's knowledge base, but a programmer shouldn't spend money on certifications and expect great immediate results. One thing to remember, though, is that certification classes are great places to network and meet peers who might help advance your career sometime.FOR SEARCHSAP

Accountable Pet Ownership Weblog
This is a guide to typical household products, plants and foods that are poisonous, toxic or deadly in dogs. As there are actually hundreds of poisonous things out there, I'm limiting this list to items that are found in numerous homes, with an emphasis on things that are frequently regarded as harmless. I will be like some links at the end of this write-up if you happen to be searching for a lot more exhaustive lists of things that are poisonous to dogs and cats.
Controlling a puppy's impulse is not challenging simply because of their smaller sized size, and most pups can be picked up to cease an unwanted reaction to one thing they want. If your terrier puppy finds a chipmunk hole in your prized flower bed, you can choose him up to cease him from digging, and then figure out how to humanely relocate the chipmunk without having ruining your flowers. But based on a pup's age, not all puppies can be picked up to manage an impulse. That's a single explanation why it's critical to commence puppy education as soon as you bring him property. Regrettably, as a pup grows up, he becomes more independent and if you did not teach him at a young age how to handle his impulses, his undesirable behavior will remind you of the importance of dog coaching. A dog that obeys fundamental commands is simpler to manage, and that is 1 way you can preserve him safe.
As a loving and responsible pet owner, you want your pet to be safe at all times. In the event that your pet gets loose and starts roaming the streets, getting her back home is crucial. Home escapes are not the only potential dangers, even though pets can also find themselves alone and vulnerable following accidents and natural disasters. Pets with microchips are considerably far more likely than these with out them to be reunited with their owners. This implies that if your dog or cat does not have a registered microchip, you're taking a massive danger.
Melson and other researchers have studied how humans interact with the Sony Aibo, a modest, artificially intelligent robotic dog. All of the subjects in these research recognized that Aibo was a piece of technology, not a living animal. However that did not cease them from seeing the robots as companions, with their own thoughts and feelings. In a study of youngsters ages 7 to 15, for instance, nearly 80 percent mentioned they felt an Aibo could comfort them if they have been sad. In an additional study, 1 individual described putting an Aibo to bed with a pink teddy bear, so the robot wouldn't wake up distressed" in the middle of the evening.

This will only work if your pets have survived and you want to bring their overall health back up to max so they can fight once again. If you genuinely want to use a pet once more, try quite challenging to preserve it alive, because with some patience you can heal it back up just before your subsequent fight.
This is ridiculous. Go to a local fish retailer and ask about what the nitrogen cycle is. Would you maintain your puppy in a shoebox? Its pure cruelty. Would you hold your youngster in the corner of a closet and clean his poo after each 3 months? Think about how that feels. Now thats your goldfish. What a cute and exciting piece! Pinned it to my Hubs to Read board and voted for it! I named my black cat Wilkos following Steve Wilkos… difficulty is she's a girl! Oh effectively. Fantastic lens and great list of black cat names! Pet ownership has numerous rewards, and undertaking a tiny study before taking the plunge will aid make your new pet a welcome addition to the family. I like watching opossums play in the wild but would probably not advise anybody have one particular as a pet. Make a list of boarding facilities and veterinarians who could shelter animals in an emergency consist of 24-hour telephone numbers.
My two pet ground hogs have been so amazing. I enjoy to watch them consume their favourite treats. They would fight more than who will get to the cheesecake, cheese sticks or BANANA NUT MUFFINS. I miss them so a lot, they had to get out of my garage and do what ground hogs do in October. I cannot wait til spring, to see them and maybe babies too!!
Here's the interesting factor about rodent farms: unlike puppy mills, which operate via brokers and go by way of all sorts of lengths to be confident that they go unseen by the officials, rodent farms operate out in the open. Certainly, several of them are in fact fairly proud of their circumstances – a fact which may possibly appall some loving rat owners, but which demands to be understood.
Maine is a horrendous state for exotic pet owners and the restrictions on pets are as intense as they are indefensible. This northernmost state on the mainland boasts a climate that very couple of animals could survive in, but it has a really modest list of mammals (gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, mice, rats, guniae pigs, chinchillas, ferrets, sugar glider, degu) that do not require a permit. Achieving a permit in Maine is stated to be close to not possible. Reptiles are confined to choose species as well.… Read More
Welcome To Pets At Property
We humans have a tendency to present our species as getting the most sophisticated, smartest and superior. But when it comes down to it, there are several issues animals can do a lot much better than we can.
A single of the most common Disney kids shows had an unexpected guest in a couple episodes, one particular of the characters has a pet chicken named Dudley. Dudley is an adorable little white Silkie, and even though he doesn't do a lot he positive is cute in his costume. In this episode, the bellhop of the hotel and Dudley's owner, Esteban, is trying out for a talent show with Dudley, who is singularly unimpressed.
I pled for a dog. My father had grown up with a Chow Chow named Ming my mom with Ginger, a Fox Terrier. So they have been sympathetic…but unyielding. I had to settle for the standard Brooklyn apartment default pet, a turtle bought at a Ringling Brothers Circus souvenir concession. Myrtle sported a clown decal on her shell and possibly salmonella beneath it. When she died, there was a succession of goldfish including Caesar, Cleopatra, and Nero I, II and II. My mother employed a kitchen strainer to scoop the final Nero from his floating funeral at the top of the fishbowl. My father stated a prayer over the tiny tarnished physique nestled in a square of toilet paper. Then we gave Nero III a burial at sea. Flush!
So can animals really grow to be ghosts? If we accept that humans can linger in one more type after death, then it follows that animals can also. Some argue that animals do not have souls (obviously these people are not pet owners), but it really is considerably far more probably that animals possess the extremely exact same energy that we do. And, as with us, this power is not extinguished by physical death – physics tells us plainly that power can not be destroyed, only transformed to an additional state.
You are hilarious! Loved reading this and I will certainly stick to chickens. Thanks for a wonderful lens. I am glad that I appear to be turning so numerous individuals into possum converts. haha. I never feel that I could personally ever see myself keeping one particular, but I am satisfied that other folks are finding it to be such an attractive idea. Commence tiny. Attempt parakeets or love birds first. Bigger birds are a lot tougher to care for.… Read More

The all girl team!…excellent work as constantly Parramatta. It looks like it was weather best at the final clinic for the year at Parramatta. Spiny mice. These small little pets are not the domesticated mice commonly sold in stores, but they demand comparable care. An omnivorous diet regime, spacious glass aquarium, and an physical exercise wheel are essentials. I have had my Wal-mart GSP's now for eight months. They are really fun to watch and do act like dogs, they kind of look like a pug anyway. I feed mine largely freeze dried shrimp and they do consume some of the flakes I feed to the tank mates. When I find them they get a treat of ghost shrimp, and they really adore them. anyway i identified this lens actually interesting, the runner ducks, Muscovy ducks and the Welsh Harlequin got my consideration i love that breed.
Also for other bird owners out there, or folks thinking about getting a bird, do lots of research on not only cage needs, but also on the sorts of cages obtainable. I highly recommend Hagen's Vision Hybrid cages. They are amazing, and make the upkeep of the birds SOOOOO much easier. Completely Enjoy your lens about ground hogs. Am lensrolling it to my lens about exotic animals as pets and how they can make you sick. Luckily, Dr. Kat Brandt had an opening for the following day and I was pleased to step in as his parent and, as you can see by his smile, he was content about that!
Property-education chickens? Chicken diapers? lol.. I'm so glad you covered that topic, considering that I was pondering about that from word one particular. This is too funny! As you most likely know from visiting my huevos rancheros lens, I've had chickens. And I really like chickens. I just never ever knew any individual kept them as residence pets. This is fantastic! What a enjoyable and interesting lens.
The process is quick, and in order for her to get a very good drink, she has to defy the forces of gravity and inertia, and lap more quickly than gravity can pull the liquid back down into her bowl. Timing is critical, because a column of water is at its thickest and longest point just just before gravity begins to pull it back down.

High School Sports
Former Westside standout Jackson earns SEC honors
Kareem Jackson is making the transition from high school to prep school to major college football look pretty easy.
The former Westside standout had his best game as a collegian Saturday in Alabama's 41-17 romp over Tennessee and earned Southeastern Conference freshman of the week honors Monday.
The cornerback had six tackles and two interceptions in the win over the visiting Volunteers. The last Tide defender with two interceptions in a game came last year by teammate Simeon Castille, also against Tennessee.
"œI said something to him before the game, and I was kidding with him that he doesn't have an interception," Castille told the Decatur (Ala.) Daily. "He caught me in one game. I was very excited for him, and he played a monster game."
Jackson also had a hand in Alabama recovering the game-opening onside kickoff. He and Castille had key blocks on the play, allowing Damarcus Waldrop to recover it. The setup was designed for Jackson to make the play, but he had been engaged and that helped clear the way for Waldrop.
The effort impressed standout Alabama defensive end Wallace Gilberry.
"Big time players make big time plays in big time situations," Gilberry told reporters after the game. "That's enough said. He is a young player, a true freshman, so he could definitely be the next Simeon Castille here."
Jackson is tied for fifth on the team with 41 tackles, and is tied for second with two interceptions and three passes defended.

Breakdown firm predicts 72 punctures per hour over February half-term
Green Flag has predicted 72 punctures will happen every hour on UK roads next week as motorists hit the road for a half-term getaway.
The company says dead batteries, punctures, and even engine failures will be the most common breakdowns over the February break – with 175,000 drivers expected to be left stranded.
- This is why you should leave your car after a breakdown
- British drivers are risking £27m in fines over this minor fault
- More car news on Motoring Research
Clutch problems and failed starter motors are also likely to cause issues – and nearly 2,000 of us are expected to lock our keys inside the car. A further 1,405 will refuel using the wrong fuel.
Green Flag's head of rescue, Neil Wilson, said: "During the February half term, the roads will be extremely busy with families across the country making the most of the extra time off so it's no wonder that a high number of breakdowns are predicted to take place. However, the majority of these breakdowns are avoidable if people take the time to check their cars and ensure everything is in working order.
"We want to ensure that people get to enjoy their much-needed break and encourage them before setting out on the road, check that your tyres are the correct pressure and legal tread depth and check your water and oil level. It would be good to ensure that you have a spare tyre just in case. If your vehicle has not been serviced in while and you are contemplating a long journey, have your local garage check your brakes and test your battery."
The warnings follow news that many drivers are driving with illegal tyres because they can't afford to change them or simply can't find the time.
Green Flag has recently launched an 'Alert Me' system which uses a device plugged into your car's diagnostics port. This detects possible issues and alerts the breakdown company, who then forward the warning onto the owner via SMS or the official app.

Hello! My name is Emma Klug, and I'm a metro Detroit-based writer and editor. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in multimedia journalism (concentration in magazine writing and editing) and a fashion business minor. Since then, I've moved back to my hometown and, after working an editorial internship and a business-to-business journalism position, I am now a senior editor and digital content coordinator at Hour Detroit magazine.
My writing portfolio includes profiles on small business owners, columns about art exhibits, long reads on health, and Q&A's with fashion industry insiders. I've also had to the chance to dabble in social media content creation, styling and pulling product for shoots, photographing events, managing interns, and shooting video. My work has been published in Snips magazine, Flexible Packaging magazine, DBusiness magazine, Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Talks, D'Office Threads magazine, my own blog, The Style Note, and more.
When I'm not writing, editing, and planning stories, I'm probably failing to get up early and workout before going to the office; binge-watching Monday Night Raw, The Bachelor/ette, or The Real Housewives of (fill in the blank) ; or obsessing over designer clothing I can't afford.
I believe my experience has provided me with skills that are useful for a career within the realm of lifestyle journalism, and I enjoy contributing to a creative work environment.

AMHERST, Mass. - The following is a transcript of Hunter-Gault''s speech to the Class of 1998:
"I greet you this morning with one of the salutations from South Africa''s 11 official language groups: Sanibona! And if you feel so inclined, you may answer me with "Yebo! Sawubona.
"And if you care at all about how I feel, you could add: Njani?
"Let me now offer my congratulations to the members of the class of 1998 and to all of those who helped you get here. I would linger on this a bit longer, given what it usually takes to get to this moment — especially during the last few days of finals and final bills! But I have been told by E-mail and otherwise to keep this short and sweet, pithy and brief And after the two weeks I''ve just had in war torn and starving Southern Sudan, I am more than happy to try and oblige. I need some sleep!
"I am also more than happy, indeed downright excited to have this opportunity to join you as a member of the class of 1998 and to share my excitement about the world you are about to move into...a world that I would hope you are looking forward to navigating with confidence and joy. . .
"I want to depart from the all too pervasive journalistic tendency to titillate you with tales that make your skin crawl and hair stand on end or that feed what is believed to be a lust for lust. instead, I want to borrow an old line to describe these new times, and talk about them as days of "miracles and wonder".
"Now some of you are already thinking, "But she just said she spent the last seven days in war torn, strife-ridden Southern Sudan. Where is the miracle, where is the wonder in that?" And indeed, there is not much there at the moment to celebrate. A 15 year Civil War has taken a devastating toll on the people and the land. The war combined with a recent famine has claimed many lives and may yet claim many more. Many of them are babies whose mother''s cannot sustain them because the mother''s only food is the leaves from trees and grass. I was recently at a therapeutic feeding center set up by the UN in a near barren area that was once a village until it was destroyed by war. Once there, the babies get on a program of intensive feeding, which almost always snatches them from the jaws of death. They improve rapidly.
"As I stood in the middle of the spare outdoor compound, I noticed at least three mother''s sitting on blankets on the earthen floor, nursing two babies at a time. When I asked the nurse about this, she informed me that they were twins. Was it just an odd coincidence that there were three sets of twins here, I asked. The nurse said no, there were many twins in the Dinka culture. What was there about Dinkas that led them to have so many twins, I wanted to know. The nurse smiled an almost beatific smile and said softly: "We lose so many of our people, I guess it''s God''s way of helping us get them back."
"Hers was the face of hope. These are the days of miracle and wonder. A short time before that, I had been in Rwanda, where genocidal slaughter of more than a half million of the minority Tutsis has left many horrors, not least thousands of children living in households headed by other children — some as young as 11. I met some of these children at a church service. Like I, some were visitors and were asked to introduce themselves to the congregation. Rwandans are basically interior people, not given to venting their emotions. They rarely talk about the genocide. But a few of them alluded to it, if only obliquely. Now and then, one would sing a hymn that they said was of particular comfort. I had not planned to speak, but the lady pastor insisted that the visitor from a long way off say something.
"I was almost overwhelmed by the moment, wondering as I headed to (the front of the tiny theatre serving as a church) what on earth would I say that would have any meaning for young people who had suffered in such a unique way. And so I said just that. And I told them that there was no way that I could begin to understand their pain since I had never experienced what they had. just lived through. But then I shared with them a little of the history of the American South, telling them about the system that was designed to keep a whole race of people subjugated — physically, and spiritually. I told them that many died . And I briefly shared with them the kind of armour that the values of the people of my village created that helped sustain me as long as need be, but also gave me what I needed to join the multitude of students who one day rose Up against that system and destroyed it.
"And as I told them a little about the Civil Rights Movement in America and the successes it had, I told them a little about the values that fuel] those success. That even as I resisted my grandmother''s entreaties to learn the 23rd Psalm—I would rather have been out climbing trees, learn it I did. Thus when I entered the University of Georgia as it''s first black woman student and was confronted with a rioting mob throwing bricks though my window and threatening to kill me, I was wrapped in the armour my grandmother passed down...Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil...Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me all the day long.
"Even now, I told them, when confronted with a society that still finds it difficult to yield its privilege and keep its promise, I keep on moving to take my place, wrapped in the armour hammered into perfection by my extended family — everyone in the whole little village I grew up in...my disenfranchised black neighbors, my ill-equipped teachers in the segregated schools and in the churches. When they, the people of my village couldn''t give us first class citizenship, they labored to give us a first class sense of ourselves. . And then I told the young Tutsis about the victory song we used to sing during our protest marches.. And I invited them to sing along with me. Most spoke no English, but there was a translator for my words. And as I sang, "Aint gonna let nobody turn me ''round," I could see them singing the same words...and that emboldened me on a risky venture. I then sang, "Ain''t gonna let no genocide turn me ''roun'' and kind of held my breath until I heard them sing, "Ain''t gonna let no genocide turn me ''roun." And they sang it with gusto.
"A few minutes later, a young girl rose and told the story of losing her mother, and father in the genocide and of seeing her two brothers slaughtered before her eyes. She told of her struggle to care for her younger siblings alone and of her efforts to continue going to school. Neither struggle was being won. She was having problems providing for the children and money promised to help her continue school had not come. She paused for a moment and I thought she was too overcome with sadness to continue, but instead she started talking again, this time saying that she had been inspired by all that she had heard that morning and that she had a new determination and a new song. And she began singing, "Aint gonna let nobody turn me ''roun''."
"The face of hope in these days of miracle and wonder.
"Likewise in South Africa.
"It was that "miracle and wonder" that called me to South Africa last year for an extended stay. And I have not been disappointed. There is a miracle underway, notwithstanding the struggle by which it is unfolding. To witness the process of transformation of a whole country and its efforts to put the past behind them is truly to be a witness to history.
"It is with "miracle and wonder" that young South Africans are joining young people everywhere in daring to dream and prepare for a future vastly different from the past.
"A past that South Africans are revealing to themselves and the world in one of the most amazing truth-telling processes the world has seen. It is painful and it is flawed, but it is succeeding in ways that I am not even sure it''s creators imagined. For even as some Afrikaners condemn the Truth and Reconciliation Commission for being biased in favor of the blacks, they also acknowledge that they it was from the testimony before the Commission that they learned for the first time some of the horrible violations of human rights that were being done to their opponents in their name.
''"That is the face of hope that is helping fuel the hope of the African Renaissance that everyone''s talking about these days. It is already being realized in the wave of democracy sweeping the continent and in a new generation of African leaders who are insisting on taking control of their own destinies. Thanks in part to President Clinton''s historic trip to the continent, some of that got through, but I have my doubts about how long what I call the "new news" will be reported. It''s Afro-pessimism that sells. ...
"Which is not to say there is no bad news, but even when I have to report "bad news," I try to do it in a "new news" way, providing context and background that often provides a completely different interpretation of the thing that I''m reporting. This is the kind of news reporting that most media decision makers have written off in their bottom- line quest for ratings. But it is the news that intelligent people like yourselves will no doubt want to know so that you can make better judgments about the world that is now your neighbor, thanks to globalization. It is the "new news" of peoples of the world and their cultures, which do not come into our living rooms nightly, just as, conversely, the worst examples of ours go into theirs. But it we are to embrace rather than shrink from globalization, as President Clinton recently urged, then we must have access to information that helps us see and appreciate that which we have not yet learned to see, including both the positive and negative sides of globalization as an economic force. It is quickly shaping the new world order.
"My own "journey to the horizons in search of people" to borrow from Zora Neal Hurston has been such a magnificent journey of discovery. If T were younger, and know what I know now, I think I might have wanted to grow up to be Margaret Mead instead of Brenda Star. And so I implore you who have already been exposed through this magnificent cathedral of learning to the best thought and phi]osophy the world has offered down through the ages to go into the world]d in search of your new neighbors and find out why it is important to the world]d that you meet them and they meet you, to borrow again from Hurston. You have the gifts of your knowledge, culture and values] to share and so do they. And I am convinced that if you join with the peoples of the world]d against the debasement of all our cultures, whatever other gifts you give to the world, this one will rank as one of the most important.. For I am also convinced that culture could become to the 21 st century what that great native of this state,WEB Dubois accurately predicted would be the problem of the 20th — the color line. The rainbow face is the face of hope in days of miracle and wonder.
"But if we embrace rather than fear or fight the culture of others, in addition to the educators, communicators ,economists, nurses, scientists and all the professions hat you now represent, you will also become architects of a new 21st century world that we will all want to live in. In that regard and in closing, let me end as I began, with a lesson from South Africa. This time it comes not from the Zulu but the Xhosa people, who have a value called Ubuntu. South African Journalist Alistair Sparks, in his book, "The Mind of South Africa" explains that it broadly means that each individual''s humanity is ideally expressed though his relationship with other people. Archbishop Desmond Tutu put it this way: "People are people through other people."
"With that, may I say once again how happy I am to be one of your people. I hope to see you in the world during these days of miracle and wonder. Ngibonga kakhulu!
"Thank you very much."

Studying abroad is an experience that many students want to have, but the process of planning can be very overwhelming. If you take it step-by-step, however, it will be less stressful and you'll be sure to have a great time. No matter your interests, language ability or confidence be sure to schedule an appointment with your college's study abroad office before deciding on a program or country. The faculty members there are trained to help you choose your destination and make it fit with your plan!
CostThe cost of studying abroad may seem daunting at first. However, there are ways to minimize the amount of your own money that you spend on your trip. Many schools will apply your scholarship dollars to studying abroad—if you go during a semester, your regular school awards will count towards your trip. Be wary, though, and remember that if you travel over the summer, it will count as a semester, so you will lose a semester of school-given scholarship dollars. If your scholarships include a study-abroad stipend—as many full-ride awards do—at least some of your travel expenses will be covered. Many colleges and study abroad programs offer scholarships that you can apply for which will definitely make a bit of a dent in the overall cost of your exciting adventure abroad. The federal government does have loan and scholarship opportunities. For example, if you're thinking of studying somewhere unusual, check out the David L. Boren scholarship.
Different types of programsThere are several different kinds of study abroad programs, each tailored to a different kind of student. Island programs involve American students all studying together; the material is designed for American students. This would probably be a good fit if you want to take a short trip—maybe over spring break or for a couple of weeks during the summer—to get a feel for what kind of traveler you are. If you're prone to homesickness or if you're not confident in your foreign language skills, an island program may be the right study abroad experience for you. If you decide to participate in an integrated program, you'll take all your classes in the local language alongside local students. No need to fear that you'll be totally lost—there are usually opportunities for you to get tutoring in your classes and if you're an outgoing person, you'll be sure to make friends quickly. This kind of study abroad opportunity would be a good fit if you're working on a major or minor in the local language. A hybrid program is a combination of island and integrated programs. Some of these classes would be taken at a local university in the native language, and the rest would be offered at a study center in English. In a field-based study abroad program, you would spend much of your time working on an independent study project for credit. It seems, from the information I've gathered, that the classes you would take in this kind of program would be more hands-on and not stereotypically academic in nature.
When should I take my trip?Most sources seem to agree that the ideal time to study abroad is either over the summer or during your sophomore or junior year. That way you'll have most if not all of your gen-ed classes out of the way and can focus on the more specialized classes you'll be taking during your travels.
Where should I go?Where you go is entirely up to you—the world is your oyster! However, you might want to take some factors into consideration when planning your adventure. If you're working towards a major in a foreign language, studying abroad in a country where you can immerse yourself in that language is almost certainly recommended, if not required, by your college. Even if, like me, you're on your way towards a minor in a different language, you should consider spending a little bit of time in a country where that is the national language. Research, research, research! Make a list of all the countries you're interested in visiting and read accounts of others who have visited them. If you know somebody who has studied abroad, ask about their experience and what they would have done differently. No matter where you end up traveling, studying abroad will give you a new perspective on the world and quite a bit of valuable experience. As a bonus, employers and graduate schools will surely appreciate an individual with a global outlook.
How will studying abroad impact my college plan?You will certainly be able to get some kind of credit for the classes and experiences you have overseas. However, it's important to talk this over with a study abroad counselor and with your academic advisor to be absolutely certain that you'll get the most out of your trip abroad, both academically and credit-wise.

liyari restaurant is said to have the ultimate briyani rice in the whole of dubai. google 'liyari dubai' and you only get 'the best' accompanying the name. this pakistani restaurant serves the usuals - briyani with a choice between chicken and meat (mutton), their own brand of dalca and nan bread. come later in the evening, and their grilled chicken and meat are ready to be served.
it is so popular, that it even has its own facebook page! al-tawasol pun kalah ni!
according to its facebook page, it is situated in naif, deira, 'tucked in the right hand corner of florida hotel off nasser square', right next to the bus-stand. it's also close to the famous malaysian-favorite tailor, pulwani.
it's almost impossible to find any parking space remotely close to the restaurant, so everytime we go, we parked at this murky, low-ceiling parking lot in a building next to the naif police station - which is quite a walking distance from the restaurant.
ok, it's hard to explain in words how you actually get there from where we park, that's why i'm only giving you landmarks, like naif police station, pulwani and the deira bus stand (especially since i'm not good with roads, and most of the time - ok, ALL of the time i would just tag along behind mr. khairul who leads the way!). it's a maze of left and right and going into narrow lanes, passing by small abaya shops and other restaurants - it's complicated!
however, if you ask anyone on the way, they would definitely be able to guide you to liyari restaurant.
mr. khairul said, the interior of liyari restaurant is a reminscent of old penang restaurant - with its marble floor, and thick-wall stairs leading to the family area. the restaurant is brightened only by its lights.
we ordered both chicken and mutton briyani.
now the presentation was a bit new to me - the briyani was served in a very generous portion, in a small hollow plate, and that plate was placed in a bigger hollow plate. so it's like 2 in 1 la. hihi. mr. khairul said the small plate would probably supposed to be where you put your tulang and bits of bunga cengkih and such.
what we did was we pour the rice from the small plate into the bigger plate, and eat from that plate, leaving the small plate of rice for later.
i'm telling you - the portion is huge! you better share the plate if you're not that hungry. each plate of chicken briyani has 3 ketul ayam! the chicken is cooked a bit like curry, and it's placed 'among' the rice, together in the plate. the chicken sort of hides in the rice, so to speak.
the briyani was served with this dalca-like gravy which i love, because it's actually less spicy than the original gravy that comes inside the chicken briyani. in fact, the gravy that they 'pre-put' in the rice was too spicy for me that i would always give the 'already-drowned-in-curry' part of the rice to mr. khairul, and i would take his 'untouched-by-curry' briyani rice!
i know i married the spicy-nut for a reason! hihi.
we ordered the bread separately, but it's a bit chewy and liat. our briyani plates also came with a plate of salad - which probably be the only disappointing part of our liyari experience - it's only cut-up cabbage, sliced onions and carrots! salad and timun pun takde!
this liyari restaurant is so simple, and popular - that it doesn't even need a proper menu. just glance upward, and a 'printed' menu greets you.
briyani sedap gile melimpah ruah, sekali dengan 3 ketul ayam, skali dengan dalcha sepinggan penuh - lebih kurang RM12 - dubai rate. man, it's so worth it!
the liyari briyani is constantly being refered to as the BEST briyani in town. well, it is no doubt very delicious, especially with its generous portion, and to top it all - cheap! however, my personal favorite, the one i would crown the BEST briyani in dubai is still the one in the restaurant that i called the 'slumdog millionaire' restaurant. read about my fav briyani here.
anyhow, try some briyani today and judge for yourself!

We are always talking about the benefits of adopting a dog versus buying a dog, although we are not against buying a dog IF you buy the dog from a reputable breeder.

Using line of sight in Maptool (Part 2)
by, 05-09-2011 at 07:44 AM (14459 Views)
Last time I promised that MapTool would hide and reveal enemies and sections of the map as the players moved around. Then I showed you how to get MapTool to draw white lines representing the vision. Which is just a tad short of the promise I made.
So lets play with more settings and see if we can't make that happen then. Choose Preferences from the Edit menu, go to the Application tab and look for the check box "Auto-expose fog on token movement" and be sure its checked. That setting will need to be made by yourself and each of your players. Next lets go to the menu, choose Map -> Vision -> Day and it should now show a check box next to that option. Then choose Map -> Fog-Of-War to check that setting too.
What this accomplishes is having MapTool hide tokens and draw a fog over areas that the character can't see. Making it far more clear to the players what is truly within their line of sight. When you're conencted to the game as a GM everything will be revealed to you, whereas from a player perspective if something doesn't fall within a player character's line of sight it won't be revealed. Have a look at this, here's how the GM would view the map:
He sees four tokens. The two on the left are the PC tokens that have vision, the two on the right are the NPC tokens without vision. The shaded area represents parts of the map that aren't within line of sight. Notice how that area entirely covers the blue wolf token and part of the red troll token. Because of that here's what the players see:
The palyers can see anything that falls within line of sight range. Because of that the wolf doesn't at all appear on their map, and the troll is partially concealed.
When you're working with the maps it might be worthwhile to flip between these vies by choosing View -> View as Player. That will change the map so that it shows the map exactly as the players would see it.
This is probably not ideal. Just because one player can see something, doesn't necessarily mean the rest of the players can see it. MapTools realizes this, and will tweak the map so that it only shows what that particular character can see. To do so, all you need to is select on of the tokens with vision, and voila! The map shades out what can't be seen, and even removes the tokens that are now out of sight. Here's that same map as seen from each of the PC characters:
You can enforce the vision limitations on the players when you start up a server. Just check the following settings: Strict token ownership, Players can reveal vision, and Use individual views.
Then when the players connect be sure that they have ownership of their respective tokens. If they don't have the onwership the map will stay entirely black.
It can certainly add to the immersion when the players can only see portions of the map. It will definitly make your surprise attacks much more interesting. Though I should mention that there are a few warnings that you should take into consideration when making use of these features in maptool.
- Be sure the players are aware that they can't see everything. Vision isn't revealed while the token is being dragged, only when its released. So if you have some monsters flanking a doorway waiting to pounce on any PC that enters they might run straight into the room unaware, while you're cutting them to ribbons with attacks of opportunity. In reality the character would have approached the door and possible see the monsters, before going through. If not the PC definitely would have stopped when the blades struck them. To counter this I suggest the players stop their movements at all doorways and corners to let the map update, then continue their movement.
- It is possible for the line of sight calculations to get a little CPU intensive. This doesn't happen often, but one of my players has a slower machine, and was exploring an extensive cavern. Because there wasn't straight walls I made heavy use of the polygon tool to set my vision blocking layer. Drawing that way puts the heaviest load on the CPU when figuring out whats in sight. If you can stick to the rectangle and circles since they are much easier. Keep in mind that the vision blocking stuff isn't visible to the players, so it doesn't need to be perfect. Having the edges sloppy and not quite in line with where the background images show the walls won't detract from its effect. Its not likely that this will be a problem, but I figured I'd mention it anyway.
- If you use the fog of war on your maps, which indeed I suggested, it will not remove the fog where the vision blocking layer is. Which means that part of the artwork won't be revealed to the players. With the map that I made here's how the fog would effect it:
The players can see there's an obstacle there, but with just that black square they've no idea what it is. For rocks and walls thats probably ok, but if you had a door there or something else they might want to interact with it might be a problem.
- The map is only updated when a token moves. If you do have a vision blocking layer over a door, and when the players opene the door you then erase that bit of vision blocking, the players won't immediately be able to see whats beyond. Once a token with sight moves on the map it will update with what has newly been made visible. Its a little clunky, but its probably better than having it perpetually running those calculations.

At first glance, Natalia Juanero and Rhonda the Rhino may seem an odd match.
But the spunky six-year-old girl and the celebrity rhinoceros bonded instantly during a hands-on visit at the Los Angeles Zoo.
Rhonda and Natalia share the same goal: beating cancer.
The two met this week at a preview of the zoo's annual "Dream Night," which gives patients from Children's Hospital some one-on-one time with animals.
"I think it's really significant to see that kids have a hard fight against cancer, and so do the animals," one parent told KCBS News.
Do Animals Have Compassion? These Five Certainly Seem to…
Natalia, a huge animal lover, wants to be a veterinarian. She has a dog, a cat and an aquarium full of fish at home. She said Rhonda felt like a lizard. She should know. She has two of those at home, too.
Two-year-old Charlie Pope has a condition which damaged one of his eyes. He got to slide up alongside a seal who also sees life through injured eyes.
"Dream Night" is celebrated annually at zoos around the world on the first Friday of June. You can contact your local zoo to learn more.

Yellow Dock is everywhere.
It's a subtle plant that has big benefits for our bodies. The root should be dug up in fall when the top of the plant has turned completely brown. It's roots are- not surprisingly, bright yellow (thus the name yellow dock) This key identifier is a good way to know you have the right plant.
Once the roots have been dug up, split them and chop them up as soon as possible, waiting more than a day or two will give you a difficult task as they get hard quickly.
Yellow Dock is high in food based, non-constipating iron and has the ability to correct anemia in a matter of days. Iron supplements don't compare as they are created in a lab and are not as naturally assimilated by the body as plants. Plants do a better job of putting minerals into a usable form for animals and humans through the process of photosynthesis. Mother nature will not be outdone with her ability to make foods & plants that heal!
Yellow Dock is a natural blood cleanser. It supports the livers production of bile, which is created from toxins that the liver filters. These toxins, once turned into bile- are used by the body to break down dietary fats. Bile also has a natural laxative effect. In this way Yellow Dock is used for constipation as it will support the livers role in digestive function.
Yellow Dock is used for many conditions of the skin. It takes time to cleanse the blood so don't expect results over night- but with time and diligence Yellow Dock can provide relief from acne, psoriasis, eczema and shingles.
It can also be used topically for boils and shingles and should be taken internally for those conditions as well.
I love the "doctrine of signature" with this plant as it's yellow root can be used to treat jaundice (a yellowing of the skin). It has an action that can bring relief when the jaundice is due to gallbladder congestion. Though conventional science has dismissed the doctrine of signature as superstitious, I find this is an ignorant way to proceed.
Thinking in this way is a fruitful endeavor as it taps into a much more intuitive part of our beings than most of us connect with on a regular basis. There are many examples of doctrine of signature with food that are widely known and accepted. Why should herbs be any different?
Too busy to dig up Yellow Dock? I totally understand! Purchase Yellow Dock tincture from a reputable source at www.goodherbs.com.
the same plant two months later in August- ready for harvest!chop it into thin slices for tinctures or teassome nice big roots I dug up over the weekend. this will make good medicine for me and anyone else who needs it:)

HOSPITAL bosses are in talks over dropping a controversial option to close either City or Sandwell A&E departments in a public consultation.
Sandwell and West Birmingham Trust, which runs the two sites, is asking residents how hospital services should be developed in the #750million 2010 project.
Health chiefs revealed four options in the summer, including a new 'super hospital' in Smethwick to replace City and Sandwell or to shut down one of the existing casualty departments.
But due to a furore which blew up at the weekend over the A&E option after complaints by West Bromwich Labour MP Tom Watson, trust bosses are concerned the overall issue will be overshadowed by campaigns to save the casualty departments.
Birmingham City Council's joint health scrutiny committee met with hospital bosses yesterday and voted for them to withdraw the option in order not to cloud the issue of the consultation.
Health watchdog, Coun Deirdre Alden, said: "The trust board will now discuss whether to drop this option and decide in a few days time.
"We don't want to end up with people in Sandwell Birmingham against each other to save their local A&E rather than focussing on the future of the two hospitals, which is what this is all about.
"The public have always been given four choices. One of them was closing one of the A&Es but the other three involve either keeping them as they are but pumping more money in or building a new hospital of various sizes."

A lot of men are more and more dissatisfied with their intercourse drive, with many affected by erectile dysfunction ( E.D.), low libido and impotence. This discrepancy between precise profit and banned status highlights the difficulty sport physicians have in advising athletes, parents, coaches, and the sporting neighborhood in regards to the correct approach to monitoring, schooling, and testing for these drugs. This being said, correct nutrition and training must be put as priority earlier than incorporating fat burners and other stimulants. Taking stimulants and over exciting your self can have a detrimental impact in your performance.
A form of stimulants are inhalance which are ingested into the physique by breathing within the vapors of merchandise. As such it is very straightforward to misjudge the differences in general effect on vital features when combining depressants with stimulants. RC stimulants usually carry a very high risk of addiction, since they are typically comparatively cheap and are generally designed to be increasingly more potent physically and in terms of their results.
Ephedra alkaloids, 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 which are well-liked parts of many nutritional supplements, are naturally occurring CNS stimulants obtained from a number of Ephedra species. Depressants are drugs that inhibit the operate of the central nervous system (CNS) and are among the many most generally used drugs on the planet. In addition, researchers have studied the usage of newer, much less addictive stimulants as a technique to deal with cocaine addictions.
These studies have proven that stimulants could improve the chance of beginning defects and premature delivery. Hallucinogens are medication that trigger hallucinations – profound distortions in a person's perceptions of actuality. Depressants, stimulants, and hallucinogens are the principle kinds of medication which might be severely abused today. In conclusion, all medication are unhealthy and produce a short term happiness, but a long run damaging to the body and the individuals round you that also endure.
Apparently the merchandise synthesized are uncommon as a result of they work on the nervous system bounce starting the sexually weak and awakening the lowered libido on account of stress. Its leisure use is widespread, and it is highly addictive with its effect mediated through dopamine release. People use these medicine to get that feeling, that for some purpose they're missing. All of those medication do you no good in the long term and lots of the folks we watched on intervention might presumably die if they do not get the assistance they need.
