In the introduction to classic first edition Dungeons & Dragons module Against the Giants, author Gary Gygax cautions would-be players that the module wasn't just designed for high-level characters; it was also designed for highly experienced players. The author explained that novice players who simply rolled up powerful characters wouldn't have the tactical expertise necessary for those characters to survive the module. Gygax pointed to a widely ignored gaming truth: there is no instant replacement for months or years of player tactical cooperation.
It does indeed take a great deal of time for an adventuring party to learn all the nuances of working together. When a party actually does so – when a group of players actually obtains equipment, develops tactics, and chooses skills, feats and spells based on how they will contribute to group success – enjoyment of the game is exponentially higher.
In games that focus on the tactical elements of combat, the group can, if the players and dungeon master agree, use down time for players to practice directing their characters cooperatively in mock combat. Such an activity may be an option when one or more players cannot attend, and other campaign-related gaming activities aren't as appealing. Of course, these fights never take place from a campaign or narrative standpoint; rather, they're more of a metagaming experience where players test their heroes against monsters of the DM's choosing.
There are several advantages in spending this time at practice:
- Someone at the table can run characters for absent players without fear of anything happening to those characters;
- Players can attempt combinations of field position, equipment, weapons, feats, powers, opportunity attacks, magic items and timing (through delaying actions and such) without fear of their characters dying in-game; as a result, players can and often do try outrageous and/or convoluted plans. After all, there are no campaign consequences for success or failure. Particularly effective combinations should be documented for future reference, as described in the list-making section of this post;
- The DM may choose to use monsters that he or she may have always wanted to use, but never had the opportunity;
- These practice combats are a great way for the DM to practice skills for the other side of the screen, including seldom-used rules for weaponless, aerial or underwater combat;
- There is very little preparation time required on the part of the DM or players for this activity; and
- The players can also have a bit of good-natured metagaming fun by trying to see who can do the most damage to a single target, who can slay the most enemies, or how many ongoing conditions or effects the party can place on a single target.
- Players may even want to take this opportunity to fight each other, just to see the result.
While using downtime for practice effectively turns D&D into a rather complicated skirmish game, the practice can be a useful exercise, especially for novice players or DMs.

2000 GMC 1500 Body Protection & Detroit Locker - The Ultimate Z71 Part 3Posted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on October 1, 2008
Building An Ultimate Adventure rig is not easy. You might think there is an infinite supply of parts and money for a rig that has "ultimate" in the title, but that simply isn't the case. Though the rig's primary purpose is to lead our thousand-mile wheeling expedition consisting of unknown terrain, off-the-chart backroads, and jaw-dropping obstacles that is the Ultimate Adventure, it also needs to represent what we think a 4x4 should be. We, like many of you, plan our builds around a few basic elements that generally make sense to us, the main two being, how much does it cost and do we really need it? When we set out to build this year's '00 GMC 1500 we weren't thinking of all the parts that we could rip out and replace, but rather what we could reuse.
This elemental idea was based around the fact that while most of you (including us) would love to yank out the worn old 5.3L and stuff in a GM Performance series 572ci big-block, it's just not something we think our accountant would approve of. So does this mean the Ultimate Z71 isn't really ultimate? Of course not. In future issues you'll see that by keeping many of the truck's parts virtually untouched, we are able to spend more time on developing vital components like our trick suspension, and keep moving along with our theme of building a super-sleeper Z71. Besides, a stock engine and transmission are way easier to find, replace, or service when you get stranded in the middle of nowhere, U.S.A.
So far we've shown you how to tear it down (Aug. '08) and bob it up (Sept. '08), and now we are ready to work on body protection, build our front axle, and start making headway into the suspension department. Creating this Ultimate masterpiece at Off Road Evolution is Mel Wade and his band of metal-morphing sidekicks that continue to amaze us with their top-notch fab work. Well, once again we are back to the grind, and for those of you that can't wait until next month for your UA Z71 fix, cruise over to our Web site (www.4wheeloffroad.com) for more pictures and a behind-the-scenes look into how it all came together.
Building a rollcage requires confidence in both your ability to weld and your ability to understand loading forces. We spent countless hours triangulating and bracing our cage for whatever impact this 1/2-ton may encounter. The cage is comprised entirely of 13/4-inch, 0.120-wall DOM tubing we acquired from Tube Service Co. Though DOM isn't your only option when building a cage, for a recreational wheeler it's hard to beat the price and strength.
Originally we planned on reusing our rear springs under the frame of the truck, but once we pulled them out we noticed that one had developed a negative sag and the other was bent. At this point we made a call to the experts at Alcan Spring to purchase a set of stock replacement springs, but on their advice, we had a pair built that was virtually stock in every way minus the stiff overload springs that would hinder our flex. Keeping in mind that we lowered our spring mounting points a few inches. Putting your stock springs under your frame is an economical and relatively easy way to gain lift without harming your ride and travel.

Joel 2:1-32 . THE COMING JUDGMENT A MOTIVE TO REPENTANCE. PROMISE OF BLESSINGS IN THE LAST DAYS.
A more terrific judgment than that of the locusts is foretold, under imagery drawn from that of the calamity then engrossing the afflicted nation. He therefore exhorts to repentance, assuring the Jews of Jehovah's pity if they would repent. Promise of the Holy Spirit in the last days under Messiah, and the deliverance of all believers in Him.
1. Blow . . . trumpet--to sound an alarm of coming war ( Numbers 10:1-10 Hosea 5:8 Amos 3:6 ); the office of the priests. Joel 1:15 is an anticipation of the fuller prophecy in this chapter.
2. darkness . . . gloominess . . . clouds . . . thick darkness--accumulation of synonyms, to intensify the picture of calamity ( Isaiah 8:22 ). Appropr iate here, as the swarms of locusts intercepting the sunlight suggested darkness as a fit image of the coming visitation.
as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people--Substitute a comma for a colon after mountains: As the morning light spreads itself over the mountains, so a people numerous [MAURER] and strong shall spread themselves. The suddenness of the rising of the morning light, which gilds the mountain tops first, is less probably thought by others to be the point of comparison to the sudden inroad of the foe. MAURER refers it to the yellow splendor which arises from the reflection of the sunlight on the wings of the immense hosts of locusts as they approach. This is likely; understanding, however, that the locusts are only the symbols of human foes. The immense Assyrian host of invaders under Sennacherib (compare Isaiah 37:36 ) destroyed by God ( Joel 2:18 Joel 2:20 Joel 2:21 ), may be the primary objects of the prophecy; but ultimately the last antichristian confederacy, destroyed by special divine interposition, is meant
there hath not been ever the like--(Compare Joel 1:2 , Exodus 10:14 ).
3. before . . . behind--that is, on every side ( 1 Chronicles 19:10 ).
fire . . . flame--destruction . . . desolation ( Isaiah 10:17 ).
as . . . Eden . . . wilderness--conversely ( Isaiah 51:3 , Ezekiel 36:35 ).
4. appearance . . . of horses--( Revelation 9:7 ). Not literal, but figurative locusts. The fifth trumpet, or first woe, in the parallel passage ( Revelation 9:1-11 ), cannot be literal: for in Revelation 9:11 it is said, "they had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless pit"--in the Hebrew, Abaddon ("destroyer"), but in the Greek, Apollyon--and ( Revelation 9:7 ) "on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men." Compare Joel 2:11 , "the day of the Lord . . . great and very terrible"; implying their ultimate reference to be connected with Messiah's second coming in judgment. The locust's head is so like that of a horse that the Italians call it cavalette. Compare Job 39:20 , "the horse . . . as the grasshopper," or locust.
run--The locust bounds, not unlike the horse's gallop, raising and letting down together the two front feet.
5. Like the noise of chariots--referring to the loud sound caused by their wings in motion, or else the movement of their hind legs.
on the tops of mountains--MAURER connects this with "they," that is, the locusts, which first occupy the higher places, and thence descend to the lower places. It may refer (as in English Version) to "chariots," which make most noise in crossing over rugged heights.
6. much pained--namely, with terror. The Arab proverb is, "More terrible than the locusts."
faces shall gather blackness--( Isaiah 13:8 , Jeremiah 30:6 , Nahum 2:10 ). MAURER translates, "withdraw their brightness," that is, wax pale, lose color (compare Joel 2:10 , Joel 3:15 ).
7-9. Depicting the regular military order of their advance, "One locust not turning a nail's breadth out of his own place in the march" [JEROME]. Compare Proverbs 30:27 , "The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands."
8. Neither shall one thrust another--that is, press upon so as to thrust his next neighbor out of his place, as usually occurs in a large multitude.
when they fall upon the sword--that is, among missiles.
not be wounded--because they are protected by defensive armor [GROTIUS]. MAURER translates, "Their (the locusts') ranks are not broken when they rush among missiles" (compare Daniel 11:22 ).
9. run to and fro in the city--greedily seeking what they can devour.
the wall--surrounding each house in Eastern buildings.
enter in at the windows--though barred.
like a thief--( John 10:1 ; compare Jeremiah 9:21 ).
10. earth . . . quake before them--that is, the inhabitants of the earth quake with fear of them.
heavens . . . tremble--that is, the powers of heaven ( Matthew 24:29 ); its illumining powers are disturbed by the locusts which intercept the sunlight with their dense flying swarms. These, however, are but the images of revolutions of states caused by such foes as were to invade Judea.
11. Lord . . . his army--So among Mohammedans, "Lord of the locusts" is a title of God.
his voice--His word of command to the locusts, and to the antitypical human foes of Judea, as "His army."
strong that executeth his word--( Revelation 18:8 ).
12. With such judgments impending over the Jews, Jehovah Himself urges them to repentance.
also now--Even now, what none could have hoped or believed possible, God still invites you to the hope of salvation.
fasting . . . weeping . . . mourning--Their sin being most heinous needs extraordinary humiliation. The outward marks of repentance are to signify the depth of their sorrow for sin.
13. Let there be the inward sorrow of heart, and not the mere outward manifestation of it by "rending the garment" ( Joshua 7:6 ).
the evil--the calamity which He had threatened against the impenitent.
14. leave . . . a meat offering and a drink offering--that is, give plentiful harvests, out of the first-fruits of which we may offer the meat and drink offering, now "cut off" through the famine ( Joel 1:9 Joel 1:13 Joel 1:16 ). "Leave behind Him": as God in visiting His people now has left behind Him a curse, so He will, on returning to visit them, leave behind Him a blessing.
15. Blow the trumpet--to convene the people ( Numbers 10:3 ). Compare Joel 1:14 . The nation was guilty, and therefore there must be a national humiliation. Compare Hezekiah's proceedings before Sennacherib's invasion ( 2 Chronicles 30:1-27 ).
16. sanctify the congregation--namely, by expiatory rites and purification with water [CALVIN], ( Exodus 19:10 Exodus 19:22 ). MAURER translates, "appoint a solemn assembly," which would be a tautological repetition of Joel 2:15 .
elders . . . children--No age was to be excepted ( 2 Chronicles 20:13 ).
bridegroom--ordinarily exempted from public duties ( Deuteronomy 24:5 ; compare 1 Corinthians 7:5 1 Corinthians 7:29 ).
closet--or, nuptial bed, from a Hebrew root "to cover," referring to the canopy over it.
17. between the porch and . . . altar--the porch of Solomon's temple on the east ( 1 Kings 6:3 ); the altar of burnt offerings in the court of the priests, before the porch ( 2 Chronicles 8:12 ; compare Ezekiel 8:16 , Matthew 23:35 ). The suppliants thus were to stand with their backs to the altar on which they had nothing to offer, their faces towards the place of the Shekinah presence.
heathen should rule over them--This shows that not locusts, but human foes, are intended. The Margin translation, "use a byword against them," is not supported by the Hebrew.
wherefore should they say . . . Where is their God?--that is, do not for thine own honor's sake, let the heathen sneer at the God of Israel, as unable to save His people ( Psalms 79:10 , 115:2 ).
18. Then--when God sees His people penitent.
be jealous for his land--as a husband jealous of any dishonor done to the wife whom he loves, as if done to himself. The Hebrew comes from an Arabic root, "to be flushed in face" through indignation.
19. corn . . . wine . . . oil--rather, as Hebrew, "the corn . . . the wine . . . the oil," namely, which the locusts have destroyed [HENDERSON]. MAURER not so well explains, "the corn, &c., necessary for your sustenance." "The Lord will answer," namely, the prayers of His people, priests, and prophets. Compare in the case of Sennacherib, 2 Kings 19:20 2 Kings 19:21 .
20. the northern army--The Hebrew expresses that the north in relation to Palestine is not merely the quarter whence the invader comes, but is his native land, "the Northlander"; namely, the Assyrian or Babylonian (compare Jeremiah 1:14 Jeremiah 1:15 , Zephaniah 2:13 ). The locust's native country is not the north, but the south, the deserts of Arabia, Egypt, and Libya. Assyria and Babylon are the type and forerunner of all Israel's foes (Rome, and the final Antichrist), from whom God will at last deliver His people, as He did from Sennacherib ( 2 Kings 19:35 ).
face . . . hinder part--more applicable to a human army's van and rear, than to locusts. The northern invaders are to be dispersed in every other direction but that from which they had come: "a land barren and desolate," that is, Arabia-Deserta: "the eastern (or front) sea," that is, the Dead Sea: "the utmost (or hinder) sea," that is, the Mediterranean. In front and behind mean east and west; as, in marking the quarters of the world, they faced the east, which was therefore "in front"; the west was behind them; the south was on their right, and the north on their left.
stink--metaphor from locusts, which perish when blown by a storm into the sea or the desert, and emit from their putrefying bodies such a stench as often breeds a pestilence.
because he hath done great things--that is, because the invader hath haughtily magnified himself in his doings. Compare as to Sennacherib, 2 Kings 19:11-13 2 Kings 19:22 2 Kings 19:28 . This is quite inapplicable to the locusts, who merely seek food, not self-glorification, in invading a country.
21-23. In an ascending gradation, the land destroyed by the enemy, the beasts of the field, and the children of Zion, the land's inhabitants, are addressed, the former two by personification.
Lord will do great things--In contrast to the "great things" done by the haughty foe ( Joel 2:20 ) to the hurt of Judah stand the "great things" to be done by Jehovah for her benefit (compare Psalms 126:2 Psalms 126:3 ).
22. ( Zechariah 8:12 ). As before ( Joel 1:18 Joel 1:20 ) he represented the beasts as groaning and crying for want of food in the "pastures," so now he reassures them by the promise of springing pastures.
23. rejoice in the Lord--not merely in the springing pastures, as the brute "beasts" which cannot raise their thoughts higher ( Isaiah 61:10 , Habakkuk 3:18 ).
former rain . . . the rain . . . the former . . . the latter rain--The autumnal, or "former rain," from the middle of October to the middle of December, is put first, as Joel prophesies in summer when the locusts' invasion took place, and therefore looks to the time of early sowing in autumn, when the autumnal rain was indispensably required. Next, "the rain," generically, literally, "the showering" or "heavy rain." Next, the two species of the latter, "the former and the latter rain" (in March and April). The repetition of the "former rain" implies that He will give it not merely for the exigence of that particular season when Joel spake, but also for the future in the regular course of nature, the autumn and the spring rain; the former being put first, in the order of nature, as being required for the sowing in autumn, as the latter is required in spring for maturing the young crop. The Margin, "a teacher of righteousness," is wrong. For the same Hebrew word is translated "former rain" in the next sentence, and cannot therefore be differently translated here. Besides, Joel begins with the inferior and temporal blessings, and not till Joel 2:28 proceeds to the higher and spiritual ones, of which the former are the pledge.
moderately--rather, "in due measure," as much as the land requires; literally, "according to right"; neither too much nor too little, either of which extremes would hurt the crop (compare Deuteronomy 11:14 , Proverbs 16:15 , Jeremiah 5:24 ; is parallel to "in the first month," in the last clause (that is, "in the month when first it is needed," each rain in its proper season). Heretofore the just or right order of nature has been interrupted through your sin; now God will restore it.
24. The effect of the seasonable rains shall be abundance of all articles of food.
25. locust . . . cankerworm . . . caterpiller . . . palmer worm--the reverse order from Joel 1:4 , where by the full-grown consuming locust, but also what has been lost by the less destructive licking locust, and swarming locust, and gnawing locust.
26. never be ashamed--shall no longer endure the "reproach of the heathen ( Joel 2:17 ), [MAURER]; or rather, "shall not bear the shame of disappointed hopes," as the husbandmen had heretofore ( Joel 1:11 ). So spiritually, waiting on God, His people shall not have the shame of disappointment in their expectations from Him ( Romans 9:33 ).
27. know that I am in the midst of Israel--As in the Old Testament dispensation God was present by the Shekinah, so in the New Testament first, for a brief time by the Word made flesh dwelling among us ( John 1:14 ), and to the close of this dispensation by the Holy Spirit in the Church ( Matthew 28:20 ), and probably in a more perceptible manner with Israel when restored ( Ezekiel 37:26-28 ).
never be ashamed--not an unmeaning repetition from Joel 2:26 . The twice-asserted truth enforces its unfailing certainty. As the "shame" in Joel 2:26 refers to temporal blessings, so in this verse it refers to the spiritual blessings flowing from the presence of God with His people (compare Jeremiah 3:16 Jeremiah 3:17 , Revelation 21:3 ).
28. afterward--"in the last days" ( Isaiah 2:2 ) under Messiah after the invasion and deliverance of Israel from the northern army. Having heretofore stated the outward blessings, he now raises their minds to the expectation of extraordinary spiritual blessings, which constitute the true restoration of God's people ( Isaiah 44:3 ). Fulfilled in earnest ( Acts 2:17 ) on Pentecost; among the Jews and the subsequent election of a people among the Gentiles; hereafter more fully at the restoration of Israel ( Isaiah 54:13 , Jeremiah 31:9 Jeremiah 31:34 , Ezekiel 39:29 , Zechariah 12:10 ) and the consequent conversion of the whole world ( Isaiah 2:2 , 11:9 , 66:18-23 , Micah 5:7 , Romans 11:12 Romans 11:15 ). As the Jews have been the seedmen of the elect Church gathered out of Jews and Gentiles, the first Gospel preachers being Jews from Jerusalem, so they shall be the harvest men of the coming world-wide Church, to be set up at Messiah's appearing. That the promise is not restricted to the first Pentecost appears from Peter's own words: "The promise is (not only) unto you and to your children, (but also) to all that are afar off (both in space and in time), even as many as the Lord our God shall call" ( Acts 2:39 ). So here "upon all flesh."
I will pour out--under the new covenant: not merely, let fall drops, as under the Old Testament ( John 7:39 ).
my spirit--the Spirit "proceeding from the Father and the Son," and at the same time one with the Father and the Son (compare Isaiah 11:2 ).
sons . . . daughters . . . old . . . young--not merely on a privileged few ( Numbers 11:29 ) as the prophets of the Old Testament, but men of all ages and ranks. See Acts 21:9 , 1 Corinthians 11:5 , as to "daughters," that is, women, prophesying.
dreams . . . visions--( Acts 9:10 , 16:9 ). The "dreams" are attributed to the "old men," as more in accordance with their years; "visions" to the "young men," as adapted to their more lively minds. The three modes whereby God revealed His will under the Old Testament ( Numbers 12:6 ), "prophecy, dreams, and visions," are here made the symbol of the full manifestation of Himself to all His people, not only in miraculous gifts to some, but by His indwelling Spirit to all in the New Testament ( John 14:21 John 14:23 , 15:15 ). In Acts 16:9 , 18:9 , the term used is "vision," though in the night, not a dream. No other dream is mentioned in the New Testament save those given to Joseph in the very beginning of the New Testament, before the full Gospel had come; and to the wife of Pilate, a Gentile ( Matthew 1:20 , 2:13 , 27:19 ). "Prophesying" in the New Testament is applied to all speaking under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, and not merely to foretelling events. All true Christians are "priests" and "ministers" of our God ( Isaiah 61:6 ), and have the Spirit ( Ezekiel 36:26 Ezekiel 36:27 ). Besides this, probably, a special gift of prophecy and miracle-working is to be given at or before Messiah's coming again.
29. And also--"And even." The very slaves by becoming the Lord's servants are His freemen ( 1 Corinthians 7:22 , Galatians 3:28 , Colossians 3:11 , 1:16 ). Therefore, in Acts 2:18 it is quoted, "My servants" and "My handmaidens"; as it is only by becoming the Lord's servants they are spiritually free, and partake of the same spirit as the other members of the Church.
30, 31. As Messiah's manifestation is full of joy to believers, so it has an aspect of wrath to unbelievers, which is represented here. Thus when the Jews received Him not in His coming of grace, He came in judgment on Jerusalem. Physical prodigies, massacres, and conflagrations preceded its destruction [JOSEPHUS, Wars of the Jews]. To these the language here may allude; but the figures chiefly symbolize political revolutions and changes in the ruling powers of the world, prognosticated by previous disasters ( Amos 8:9 , Matthew 24:29 , Luke 21:25-27 ), and convulsions such as preceded the overthrow of the Jewish polity. Such shall probably occur in a more appalling degree before the final destruction of the ungodly world ("the great and terrible day of Jehovah," compare Malachi 4:5 ), of which Jerusalem's overthrow is the type and earnest.
32. call on . . . name of . . . Lord--Hebrew, JEHOVAH. Applied to Jesus in Romans 10:13 (compare Acts 9:14 , 1 Corinthians 1:2 ). Therefore, Jesus is JEHOVAH; and the phrase means, "Call on Messiah in His divine attributes."
shall be delivered--as the Christians were, just before Jerusalem's destruction, by retiring to Pella, warned by the Saviour ( Matthew 24:16 ); a type of the spiritual deliverance of all believers, and of the last deliverance of the elect "remnant" of Israel from the final assault of Antichrist. "In Zion and Jerusalem" the Saviour first appeared; and there again shall He appear as the Deliverer ( Zechariah 14:1-5 ).
as the Lord hath said--Joel herein refers, not to the other prophets, but to his own words preceding.
call--metaphor from an invitation to a feast, which is an act of gratuitous kindness ( Luke 14:16 ). So the remnant called and saved is according to the election of grace, not for man's merits, power, or efforts ( Romans 11:5 ).

I've seen those fancy masonry grill stations for gas grills, but I have two charcoal grills that I'd like to build up permanent enclosures for.
Both grills are from Char Griller.
One is the Outlaw #2137
49L x 29W x 50H
The other is the Smokin Pro #1224
62L (including smoker box) x 29W x 50H
The idea is to arrange them 90-degrees to each other with the smoker box for the 1224 at the mid-point angle between them. And this is the space where they'll go:
(I'm thinking having the 2137 perpendicular to the house wall with a prep area under the window up to the grill, and the 1224 parallel to the house at the edge of the pergola between the first and second posts.)
Knowing the ventilation requirements for a charcoal grill, does anyone have any idea how one might go about building a stone grill station for these two things?

LTE coverage for Xperia™ smartphones
LTE networks are getting more and more common, allowing you to browse the web instantly, stream content, or download movies at high-speed. You'll find LTE support in a number of Xperia™ smartphones, all the way from the just announced Xperia™ Z to the Xperia™ ion. Each device has a particular range of LTE bands, with corresponding regions that support the service. Read on to get the full list of LTE-enabled smartphones, supported bands, and the available countries where you can use LTE.
Among the impressive specs you'll find for the recently announced Xperia Z – quad-core CPU, 5' 1080p HD display, and HDR video camera – don't forget that you'll also find support for LTE. It's the latest Sony superphone with LTE capability, and joins an already extensive list of Xperia™ LTE-capable smartphones.
LTE stands for 3GPP Long Term Evolution, and is a standard for wireless data communications technology and an evolution of the GSM/UMTS standards. This technology increases the capacity and speed of wireless data networks using DSP (digital signal processing) techniques and modulations that already provides peak rates of 100 Mbit/s downlink and 50 Mbit/s uplink and QoS provisions permitting a transfer latency of 10-15 ms and is evolving to beyond 300 Mbps. With LTE, the ability to manage fast-moving mobiles is supported, as well as multi-cast and broadcast streams. LTE supports scalable carrier bandwidths, from 1.4 MHz to 20 MHz and supports both frequency division duplexing(FDD) and time-division duplexing (TDD).
LTE frequency bands
The LTE standard can be used with many different frequency bands. The deployment is increasing rapidly among the world. As of today 700, 850, , 1900 and 1700/2100 MHz bands are used in North America. South America uses 700, 1700/2100 and 2600 MHz. 800, 900, 1800, 2600 MHz bands are used in Europe. You'll find the 850, 1500, 1800, 2100, 2300 and 2600 MHz bands used in Asia. And Australia uses 1800 MHz. As a result, phones from one country may not work in other countries. Since the LTE standard is fairly new to the operators there are very few roaming agreements between different countries and operators when it comes to LTE roaming (HSPA roaming already exists). In the future when roaming agreements are in place users will need a multi-band capable phone for roaming internationally. That will be less of an issue if you're using an Xperia™ smartphone, as they are already multi-band capable (with the exception of Xperia™ SX) and support at least two bands or more. The table further down lists the LTE bands supported by Xperia™ smartphones.
The feature image used for this article indicates current countries in green where there is an existing (commercial) LTE network that Xperia™ smartphones can connect to. Please note that many more regions will have LTE in the near future. Furthermore, the availability of LTE networks is operator-dependent and may vary from area to area within a country.
List of LTE supported Xperia smartphones
The Xperia™ smartphones that support LTE include:
- Xperia ion (LT28i)
- Xperia TL (LT30at)
- Xperia T (LTE30a)
- Xperia V (LT25i)
- Xperia SX (SO-0SD)
- Xperia AX (SO-01E)

Bell's Guide to Application Failure
So, now, I'm going to illustrate to you just how to get your application rejected from a high end raiding guild. Enjoy!
Step One: Ignore the application format.
The application format is obviously just a set of guidelines. It's not really information the guild needs to know, it's just stuff we want to know and, well, you can't always get what you want. Make sure to ignore half our questions, make up your own and don't answer anything fully.
Step Two: Log out in PvP gear.
Even though it says specifically on our site to log out in your PvE gear and spec so we can inspect it and ask questions, just log out in your PvP gear and spec anyway. Or equip your fishing pole. Or wear your RP set. Anything so long as it's not what we asked for. We will be very impressed by your full Judgment set.
Step Three: Tell us your opinion of our questions.
Don't like a question? Think it's pointless? Let us know. We think it's really important for you to pick apart our application process. This doesn't reflect badly on your character at all.
Step Four: Show us your care face.
Nothing's better than reading an application going "I just dropped x profession but I'll get y profession up right away" and then watching the skill level never rise. We also enjoy reading "yeah, it's unenchanted and I'm gonna enchant it soon, I'm just being lazy right now." Be in gear two tiers behind without having even pugged ToC 10 as well. This shows us you really care and really want to be a part of a guild working on ToGC 25.
Step Five: Bother us in-game.
Your application has been up for four hours and no one's said anything yet? Make sure to send us tells, lots of tells, in-game to anyone of your class who will listen. Let us know how many views your application has had, ask us our opinions on your chances of getting in, and definitely bother us during raids. We really like this.
Step Six: Reference people we don't know.
I'm glad someone on your server recommended you to us. We don't know who that person is, really, but that's okay. You could even be making them up! Especially as no one with that name has ever been in our guild, and if they had they probably would have told you their original name. This makes it look suspiciously like your application answers were copy and pasted from another guild's application, but who cares?
Step Seven: rite liek this.
U no WoW is just a gaem so gramar & spaeling dont mater rite.
Step Eight: Lie.
Lie to us. We really like when you've misrepresented yourself on your application. It starts building that foundation of trust right away. We'll know we can count on never counting on you to be truthful, and that's important.
That's about all that has recently occurred on our application forums. The sad part is, there may be a part 2 to this somewhere down the road...

I've seen a few very good custom-made application templates that are not directly following the guidlines given buy guild. It's generally not bad to make your own as long as you give at least as much information as the proposed template asks and it's presented nicely.
Obviously for each such a good application there are about 5-10 awful ones consisting of char name, "Iwannaraidwithyouasyouaregoodandcancarryme" and half the text is made up of lol, rofl and emoticons without any punctuation or newlines.
If an applicant is 100% coefident he can make a custom-format application and not fail at it it's generally good, though it's much easier to screw things up that way than when follow given guidlines.

I think a lot of guilds ask stuff they don't need to know. You don't need to know my real name or my RL job. It just doesn't matter as long as I perform and attend the raids.
You might be interested in that information but it doesn't matter for an application to a guild/raid.
Refusing someone for bad grammar or for obviously not taking the time to write an application is probably a good idea.
Refusing someone who did not answer unimportant questions just for that reason is stupid.
I haven't read your questions but if someone doesn't like a question, that's a valid answer for me. It tells you that he doesn't like the question and would prefer to keep the answer private.
This is not an attack against you. It's just a vent against all these arrogant people who think applicants have to answer every stupid question they can come up with just because they are in the guild and therefore have the power.
Before I apply to a raid/guild, I read the answers the raid members wrote to applications. That's often a very good sign if I even would be interested to play together with them.

@Ho Ho - when custom applications specifically leave out a huge chunk of information a guild is interested in (even simple information like "do you have vent and a mic") it's generally a bad thing. And to include all the information a guild asks for, why not simply follow the guidelines they've set out, especially when there's an automated fill-in-the-blank application on the guild website?
@Jong - this just happened today =_=
@Kring - a lot of guilds ask questions like your RL name or location because of curiosity. We have those questions, but we never demand people answer them completely. We have people who kid around on them and that's been fine.
The difference is in answering a question and being rude enough to say to a guild "I don't know why you care, I'm answering it anyway, but this is stupid." It's completely disrespectful. And, honestly, the time it just came up was in asking to see a UI. We do this so we can see if people have keybinds, use their skills, and have room on their screen to actually see what's going on. To us, those kinds of questions are important and telling us they're stupid does nothing but antagonize us, the guild you want to join.

I agree. I answer a question or remove if from the
form. If they notice that I didn't answer a question
they at least have the information that I think
the answer is private.
90% off all applications are stupid.
But 90% of all "hot to apply" guides from guilds are
even more stupid. Most of the time the good guilds
also ask in a professional way for an application.

That would be interesting if you have time and interest
to write a post about that with examples and what
your/their conclusion was.
I was never interested in the "this is my interface
and this is why I think it's perfect" reports.
But a "this is your interface and this is why it sucks"
could be interesting.

@Kring - unfortunately, I'm really not in the habit of singling people out and tearing them down; I don't think it's a good thing to do on my blog. I suppose I could intentionally destroy my own UI but man... that could be painful ><

Some people must just go down the list of guild rankings on their server and apply to everything.

My guild makes applicants write a haiku. If people won't do it, or don't make a good attempt, they pretty much automatically get rejected for guild application.
The officers cite it as a way to see if they'll follow directions. If they won't take the time to learn how to write even a sucky haiku, how can you trust them to learn boss fights on their own before they come to raids? So, some things that may seem pointless & silly to you may be really important to the officers.
- November 11, 2009 at 3:29 PM
Part of the reason behind having a set application form is because the recruitment officer knows where all the answers *should* be. While you may put the same info down in a different format, you are making me work harder to find the information I need at a glance, especially when I'm trying to read your app surreptitiously at work. ;)
I never really got the whole RL name question. But we do ask for time zone or GMT+/- x because we've had people overlook that we raid US PST evenings. We also added questions about schedule stability (due to students, shift work, or military deployments) and living situation (live alone, in dorms, roommates, etc) because we've had people apply who then had major unexpected (to us) schedule changes or had parents (even though we're 18+) who disagreed with them raiding and would yank the internet cable out of the wall.
If people remove or ignore our questions, they get called on it and asked to answer. Regardless of if you think they're not necessary, the officers have a reason for putting them in there. To us, if you ignore it, it means that you couldn't pay enough attention to details so we generalize it to how you'll perform in raids.
The question on our app that tends to throw people is "What's your favorite sexual fetish?" We don't care what apps put down (hell make something up) but we can get raunchy in guild/vent when we're shooting the shit with each other so we're looking for people who can handle that and will mesh. If someone is too scared to put something down, chances are that they'll have a hard time fitting in and they'll just end up leaving after wasting their time & $25.
But even when people have missed questions, I've never outright rejected an application for that alone. Usually there's other more concrete game reasons to reject the people who refuse to answer questions or who choose to criticize our app while applying.

Hi Bell,
Might I suggest an alternative (If you were open to it) - get someone who is happy to let you critique their UI, as an exercise in constructive criticism.
You could make your points and the person could get an understanding of things they could change.
I say this because I rarely play with people IRL and therefore rarely see their screen layouts and UI's - My UI is one that has grown up from my playing the game, but I have *no* idea if it is up to the sort of standard that a top raiding guild would expect (even had I pugged ToGC or were planning on applying to such a guild) - even raiders who run 5 and 10 mans could improve if given tips on "This is a really bad idea because ..." or whatever.
I'd be happy to give you a screenshot of my UI for you to tear apart in that way if you wanted one where there *wasn't* a guild app riding on the outcome. Of course, you probably have better things to do :D, but the offer is there if you are interested.

You forgot:
* Talk back - If someone comments in a way that puts you in a negative light, such as "Could you explain your choice of gems" or "Why did you chose Talent X", then make sure to a) reply on the forums in clear leet speak that they have no idea what they're doing or talking about and should just Alt-F4, and b) repeatedly whisper those people in game telling them they suck (especially when they're in Raid instances) and that they're just being vindictive and what did you ever do to them?
- November 11, 2009 at 10:09 PM
- Kring said...
Bell, I didn't want you to embarass other people. The idea was
more to show what's bad on (other people) interface.
Constructive feedback.

That sounds like a good idea if you want to build an army of
non-thinking soldiers. :)
The guild applications are not a one way street. The more people
you neglect for random reasons, the lesser people you get to
choose from. And, to be honest, the best people are never ever
the ones who "follow directions".
For most guilds it's not that everyone would like to be in
"your" guild. Most guilds have to look for members. Therefore,
one might think, it would also be a good idea for a guild itself
to make a good impression and not ask "stupid" questions. They
would like to get the best memebers and before you can even select
them, they have to apply.
As much as you would like to get the best guild members, the
person looking for a new guild would like to get the best guild.

I've had many different experinces with templates, from both sides.
I once didn't apply to a guild just because I didn't like the template "feel" and thought I'd not feel good in there.
I always liked the semi-compulsory templates - ie "please use this template, or your own, but make sure you answer our questions in it". Think this gives the applicant a way to express themselves and provides more info for the evaluating guild.
@ Show your UI question - lately I find it really necessary to see it. Back in the days you could tell people's experience from the gear. Nowadays? Not gear nor achievments are the measure (barring the REAL hardmodes), anyone can lie in their application and it's these little questions that can give you just the tiny more info about the applicant. Let's face it, if a rogue applies to your guild, his default UI cluttered with action bars left and right and that rogue still has autoattack in first slot, that is alarming. Add a large recount in middle of that rogue UI and what you gather from that?
I am myself an addon junkie, but do not expect everyone to tweak their UI with custom frames, bars, timers and trackers. I've never looked down at "clicker with default ui" but too much is too much. Autoattack at first bar spot? Really?
- November 12, 2009 at 7:50 AM
I also read apps posted in order to get an idea of the guild attitude itself from how they are responded to by the guild officers. I once heard in guild that one of our members had posted an app to another raid guild... and I went and looked, and these were the most negative people I have ever seen... Any app that was posted that wasnt perfect had "FAIL" responded to it followed by many insults to the applicant. I knew right then I'd never want to be a part of that guild.
Another ( a highly successful BC raiding guild ) had very polite responses consisting of either a polite denial or a request to set up an in-game talk to check things out further. You can learn things from a guild by checking those out.
In our own apps, nothing is more frustrating to an officer than poorly answered apps. We do this to get an idea of you and your skills. We are going to take the time to read all this carefully and check you out. Take the time to answer fully. If you arent comfortable with a question, feel free to say so in a polite fashion. at least there is an answer there to read and if we feel it's important, we'll follow up.

@Argon – that's true. Still, it'd be nice if there was some effort involved...
@lissanna – that's pretty neat! And a good reason for it.
@Imalinata – Following the set application does make things much less of a headache for the people reading it, it's true. Like I said, the RL name/location kind of stuff is out of curiosity (we've found an applicant who's gone to school with one of our officers completely by accident that way!) and people can always say "I would prefer not to say." It's better than just leaving it blank. I agree; when people ignore questions they should be called on it. It looks sloppy, and you can't tell if they missed it or ignored it on purpose. The "sexual fetish" thing made me laugh, and is an awesome idea.
@Saunder – I'd consider doing that if I was really an expert in UI; the best I can do is make cosmetic suggestions, or a few addon suggestions. I'm not an encyclopedia, I can just say "you're impeding visibility here" or "this is really good placement." A lot of it comes down to what works for you, but I would be able to maybe show some problem areas. That's why I'm reluctant to open it up to just anyone's UI.
@Brent – Very good point! I'd forgotten that one as it hasn't happened in quite a while.
@Kring – The "non thinking soldier" argument is about as valid as calling people "sheeple" for liking something popular. If you like the idea of having some free-form thinker who does their own thing and doesn't bother with instructions, let me tell you a story. It's the story of a priest who joined the guild. He fought with the healing officers on everything, ignored their instructions, bitched about who loot went to (he could do it better!) and now hasn't logged in for 10 days without telling us where he went. He would be a "free thinker" and not one of our "non thinking soldiers" who follow directives and complete tasks. If we wanted "non-thinkers" we wouldn't ask about out of WoW hobbies or question them for their opinions. Our guild mages have gotten into huge theorycrafting discussions with applicants. Asking someone to follow an outline is not limiting their thinking ability. You don't go to a job interview and tell the company that you dislike their outline so here's your own, nor do you leave information blank. The guild's application to you is when you check out their status, their site, and their forums. By applying, it is assumed the guild is one that you want to join. At that point, it is up to you to show that you're someone they want in their guild, and generally guilds like it when you follow their instructions for doing this. Once a discussion is started the guild may have a little to prove to you, but unless they're on the brink of destruction they're not going to just snag anyone who comes along.
@blueberrytotem – I agree, if you don't like the template, don't apply. I've done this before when looking for guilds to apply to. Semi-cumpolsory templates may be nice, but they're also a headache for people trying to categorize information. For the UI stuff, I agree – it shows a lot about a person's abilities where things are located and how they use different addons (or don't).
@Kayeri – I agree, responses to guild applications are important. We've had some issues with that ourselves that we've tried to iron out.

You don't expect that all of your guild members would have written a haiku but the bad priest and this would have sorted him out, do you?
People who can't follow instructions when they should are as bad as people who don't think for themself.
(My opinion is STFU during the raid and post it on the forum.)
A lot of guilds have stupid ideas what they expect from someone applying and all I'm saying is that you will miss out on good applicants.
Kayeri wrote a very good comment.
- November 12, 2009 at 9:50 AM
- Bell said...
@Kring - In mine, and my guild's opinions, "good applicants" are able to recognize the effort and time we put into creating our guild application format, and if they don't like it they will just not bother. If you don't like the application format, don't apply. I already said in response to blueberrytotem that this is how it should work. You can't know what everyone is going to like or not like, but you do know what the guild wants and if you don't want to give them that, then they're not the guild for you. Obviously there is a little leeway, but generally you just don't apply if you don't want to share the information the guild is looking for.
- November 12, 2009 at 10:14 AM
Our application lists a few "scenarios" asking how an applicant might respond in certain circumstances.
Because I have been known to lose my temper with someone in vent (although I'm getting better, honest! I haven't really completely blown up at anyone since Kalegos...I think *grumbles about inept portals clickers*); and because we regularly call people out in vent when trying to work through what's going wrong, we have a specific question on our app that asks how a person would respond to being called out in vent, asked to leave the raid until they understood the mechanics of a fight, or being told that they have made a mistake in front of their peers.
Personally, I like the honest answers. The ones that say "I'd probably be upset" or "It would make me mad, but I'd deal with it and talk to the officer after the raid" because these are REAL responses to honest feelings that a player is likely going to have just by virtue of human nature. As opposed to the guy that just wants to get his foot in the door and responds "I would have no issues whatsoever" or some such thing.
So...answering all the questions, and being honest about them can go a long ways in an application, I would agree.

The SeCom Project Team at the Kickoff Meeting in Aachen, January 2012
Primary aim of SeCom is to develop an innovative, active and problem-based learning methodology for flood risk management education and training.
About SeCom
Every year severe flood events cause fatalities and enormous economic damage increase. The trend will rise as floods and storms are expected to become more frequent and severe in the future (European Commission and UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, 2009).
As a consequence, the revision and adaption of flood management strategies became an important issue. The Flood Framework Directive of the European Union engages the member states to develop flood risk management plans by December 2015.
Initial surveys and studies were undertaken to understand what the current skills and resource levels are to deliver the requirements of the Flood Risk Management (www.defra.gov.uk, July 2010). The outputs of this work are recommended to be used in the development of skills and capacity building of stakeholders involved in flood risk management.
Project SeCom 2.0 contributes to these three recommendations, which are:
- - Developing knowledge and skills for existing staff involved in flood risk management.
- - Building capacity through provision of educational courses for the next generation of engineers (university civil engineering undergraduates).
- - Providing information and tools primarily to support authorities and other stakeholders to collaborate and develop together in collaborative environment new know-how.

This better be a blowout!
Game tips off at 7pm cst.
This should be an easy win if we continue making the extra pass, limit turnovers, and attack the paint.
Let's extend our winning streak and finish the year strong!

"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
If we play the way we played the last three games, this should be an easy win. We should glide to a 15 point win.
Watching Pelicans games is what Georges Bataille meant by limit experiences.
We need to get whoever Dirk is guarding on the block. He cannot defend anyone.
AD on Kleber can be all night long if Dallas keeps that matchup.
I swear no one is even trying to get offensive boards.
Looking very sloppy so far.
RIP FlyGirl
Gonna go learn some voodoo by half time if I can find my old Dirk jersey. Lol!
This first quarter has been very disheartening. Obviously it's way too early to be down on this game, but sofar is bad
Another guy about to have a career night, it never fails.
Mavs making this game as ugly as possible and are dictating the pace. We need some jumpers to start falling to loosen up the paint
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
Just can't defend anything. What is wrong with them
Down 21-36 after one. Woeful. Good news is there's still 36 to play.
rem the rules: never comment on the Pels play before halftime
Send the cans to the G league
Our basket has Saran Wrap on it.
Listen. If you miss 10 straight threes. Maybe try something in the paint.

New Empire Prophecy loader.....
OK, I got a e-mail tonight w/a link to a teaser vid which was pretty obscurred. Like a bunch of clouds with some windy noise in the background. The hopper was behind the clouds so that's why the thing was obscurred. I didn't even watch it all the way through cuz I'm kinda busy right now but.....
Seems Empire is releasing a new hopper pretty soon. From the obscure vid it showed the profile which resembled a HALO. At one portion of the vid the hopper split in two like it was modular or something. Maybe something similar to the DYE hopper, IDK. After that point I split off from the vid so that's it lol -
OK, don't wanna give you too much info as your head may explode.......
But anyway, look for the Prophecy cuz it's just around the corner. If I can get any pics I'll post them. If anyone else has any post them so we can see what's up with this -

Rangers eager to get pitching healthy, 'clicking' again
ARLINGTON -- Nobody expected Robinson Chirinos, Kevin Kouzmanoff, Donnie Murphy and Michael Choice to have more home runs combined than Prince Fielder, Adrian Beltre, Shin-Soo Choo or Alex Rios, or that the Rangers would hit fewer home runs in April than they have in the opening month in a non-strike season since 1983.
The .367 slugging percentage for April was also the lowest since 1988 for an offense that was supposed to be improved over last year.
ARLINGTON -- Nobody expected Robinson Chirinos, Kevin Kouzmanoff, Donnie Murphy and Michael Choice to have more home runs combined than Prince Fielder, Adrian Beltre, Shin-Soo Choo or Alex Rios, or that the Rangers would hit fewer home runs in April than they have in the opening month in a non-strike season since 1983.
The .367 slugging percentage for April was also the lowest since 1988 for an offense that was supposed to be improved over last year.
But the Rangers were doing fine until Round 2 with the A's, when the starting pitching gave up 22 runs -- 18 earned -- in 11 1/3 innings. Oakland's starters allowed just three runs in 21 innings while pulling off the three-game sweep, and Texas finished April at 15-13.
Still, manager Ron Washington was happy with the pitching staff, especially considering the Rangers have already used eight starters and 18 pitchers overall, a group that includes Hector Noesi, Seth Rosin and Daniel McCutchen.
"Our staff has done a great job holding it together," Washington said. "We haven't been able to pull our staff together, but there is nothing you can do about it. You have to keep plugging."
The Rangers inch closer to that elusive moment when they have the staff they expected during the winter. Colby Lewis is back in the rotation after his long recovery from elbow and hip surgeries, and the Rangers expect more mound time will help lower a 4.60 ERA. Matt Harrison allowed two runs over six innings in his first start in 13 months after recovering from back surgery.
They join Yu Darvish and Martin Perez, who were outstanding until stumbling against the A's, to give the Rangers 80 percent of their expected rotation. Robbie Ross Jr. has a 3.86 ERA despite two bad starts, while Derek Holland spends his days in Arizona rehabbing his surgically repaired left knee while aiming for a June return. Joe Saunders could be an option again in a week or two, although he may end up as the long reliever in the bullpen so that Martinez can get back to pitching every fifth day in a rotation.
"There have been a lot of guys moving in and out of the rotation, but hopefully I'm back for the long run, and I know Colby feels the same way," Harrison said. "We've got a good pitching staff. It's a matter of clicking every fifth day, getting in a groove and feeding off each other."
The unknown is Tanner Scheppers, who was the Rangers' starter on Opening Day but is on the disabled list with inflammation in his right elbow and only now is resuming his throwing program. Scheppers was terrific as Texas' eighth-inning setup reliever in 2013 before being shut down after four outings as a starter this season.
It's not hard to look at Scheppers with his 95 mph fastball, plus slider and improving changeup and imagine him at the front end of a rotation. Holding up physically is the daunting part, but the Rangers also know they had four blown saves in April, and all four came down in the eighth inning, resulting in four of the 13 losses for the month.
The Rangers still believe right-handers Alexi Ogando and Jason Frasor and left-hander Neal Cotts can keep that from happening as often as it did in April. But with no obvious spot awaiting him in the rotation, it's also not hard to imagine Scheppers returning to the bullpen in the hopes that he can be the same eighth-inning shutdown guy he was in 2013.
Kenny Rogers had a long and successful career as a starter, but only after two aborted attempts to make Texas' rotation. He made just 12 starts against 274 relief appearances in his first four seasons in the Majors before finally becoming a starter for good in 1993.
So a move back to the bullpen now does not necessarily preclude Scheppers from a future as a starter, although eventually taking over as closer is also on the table.
Those are future discussions. Joakim Soria has handled the closer's role without a hitch through the first month and that has prevented even more anguish than what the Rangers may or may not be experiencing right now. There is no fury like that of the backlash against a closer who has blown a game or two, as many around baseball have already discovered this season.
What the Rangers need now is Lewis and Harrison settling back into their routine, Darvish and Perez to keep doing what they're doing and some roles get defined in the bullpen one way or another. Ogando may be as important as anybody on the staff, and it was telling that Texas let him pitch 1 2/3 innings in mop-up relief on Wednesday to get him some extra work.
It was also interesting what Washington had to say about the A's even before Wednesday's 12-1 loss.
"They always pitch," Washington said. "They may be missing guys, but they've always got guys they can bring up. They are a pitching-rich organization. They know how to scout pitching. That's what they do and what they have always done. Even in their lean years, they have always been able to pitch."
The message is obvious for a pitching staff that had a 1.67 ERA in sweeping three games from the A's last week in Oakland. The Rangers could be better offensively, no doubt about it. But if they expect to keep up with the division leaders, they are going to have to match their pitching.
They did that spectacularly in Oakland. They did not in Arlington.

Inventions "for farmers by farmers" have comprised a significant subcategory at the annual Inventors Congress in Redwood Falls, MN. The June 2005 event was an especially good one for farm-practical ideas, with at least eight new products ranging from hitches to modular fences to new skid loader bucket configurations. Here is the first in a series of inventions observed at the show.
A brilliantly simple idea called the HitchPinPlus offers a better way to keep your wagon tongue securely attached to the tractor drawbar.
Many farmers who visited the 2005 Inventors Congress immediately recognized the value of this product, commenting that they'd had trouble with corn stubble plucking out the stay pin that's supposed to keep conventional drawbar pins secure.
The farmer-inventor, Kenneth Harwick, said he had experienced these same troubles for years, occasionally losing equipment on the road or in the field when the standard pin bounced out. He solved the problem by inventing the Hitchpinplus, which secures a locking bar from the top rather than the bottom. A second version of his invention also allows use of a padlock to prevent equipment theft. The Hitchpinplus and Hitchpinplus II both work with a D-pin hitch up to 11/8 in. in diameter. Both sell for $10 and are available in green, red or black.
For more information, contact Kenneth Harwick, 724 7th Ave., Madison, MN 56256, 320/598-3268. See more Inventors Congress items and other new farm products at www.farmindustrynews.com.

Community Connections
What is the future of Community Connections?
In July of 2012 an announcement was made by President Fenton L. Broadhead, Academic Vice President, regarding a reallocation of resources and programming that previously was under the stewardship of Community Connections. President Broadhead's announcement is below. AFY has since been transfered to the stewardship of the Badger Creek Outdoor Learning Center, which now falls in the Student Activities department.
If you have questions about Adventure for Youth (AFY), Outdoor Youth Adventure (OYA), or Leadership for Life (LFL), please visit the Outdoor Learning Center's website found at http://www.byui.edu/badger-creek or call firstname.lastname@example.com or e-mail
If you have any questions regarding the EFY Program please contact EFY in Provo by calling (801) 422-3817 or visiting their website at efy.byu.edu.
If you have any questions about Education Week please visit the Education Week web site at http://www.byui.edu/education-week or call University Relations at 208-496-3100
If you have questions about the Graduate School Test Prep courses please view the Continuing Education website at http://www.byui.edu/continuing-education or call 208-496-1250.
The BYU-Idaho Home and Family Conference has also been disbanded so the University can focus more on its goals and purpose.
Dear Campus and Community Patrons:
Brigham Young University - Idaho is in a remarkable period of growth and innovation. Every year we find new ways to fulfill the university's imperatives, one of which is to serve more students both on campus in Rexburg as well as in online programs and degrees.
In an effort to meet BYU-Idaho's future growth demands, control costs, and provide an education to even more students, the university has decided to reallocate resources from the Community Connections Department. Events and programs already scheduled for 2012 will continue as planned, after which the following changes will be made:
- Badger Creek Outdoor Learning Center program will be handled by Student Activities
- EFY and Adult Religion Classes (ARC) will be administered by BYU
- Graduate School Test Prep courses will be offered by BYU-Idaho Continuing Education
- Family History Conferences, Learn to Swim and non-credit classes will be discontinued
- BYU-Idaho will no longer oversee AFY, or the annual Merit Badge Pow Wow.
On behalf of the university, I express deep appreciation to those who have supported these programs in the past.
Fenton L. Broadhead, Academic Vice President

I think this episode and the last have been the best paced so far, partially because the manga source lends itself better to the anime's episodic format. The first volume or so of the goddess conquest moved the main plot at a fast pace for the manga which made it absolutely frenetic in the anime, since the anime trims a lot of the side events (which is a whole different subject I won't get into). In past seasons, there was a clear focus for each episode since there was just one target conquest to think about. But in this season there's a lot of overlapping events.
A particularly difficult point was episode 4--in the manga, Tsukiyo's reconquest was mixed in with the Nora/Fio visit and aftermath, with a ton of major plot points, but the manga's slower pace made it easier to keep up. The anime felt rushed and unfocused even though its adaptation was about as faithful as you could reasonably expect. But with the latest two episodes, the manga source material started focusing in solely on the reconquest, allowing the episode to do the same.

Chihiro getting crushed by Keima's overly harsh rejection made me cringe quite hard at the scene. Although, everything after that point especially Katsuragi and Tenri's character development felt kind of flat.

They cut out a lot of material in this episode just to keep everything up to pace.
In the manga, when Keima goes to the band practice room and meets Elsie, he disappears as soon as Chihiro and Ayumi show up, and Elsie is left behind. Being intrigued by the Maijima Academy symbol, he heads to the library for more information. Shiori helps him find books and documents about Maijima's foundation, including the fact that the goddess Demeter is the woman in the symbol and the local deity at that. A photograph Shiori finds in the library's archives includes the silhouette of the old theatre that attached to the cave where the loose souls escaped. Keima leaves Shiori behind to find Elsie again.
Keima finds Elsie disguised as Kanon and drags her to the theatre to investigate it once more. From this point on, the anime generally follows the same events as the manga.
I'm glad that episode 9 didn't mess around with the Chihiro scene, but I was sort of looking forward to Keima and Shiori researching Maijima's past. While that information was not particularly relevant to the goddess arc, it might be relevant to the time travel arc if Manglobe chooses to animate that. The preview of episode 10 makes me worried that the episode will not cover Haqua's torture and awesome escape from hell, but I'm impressed that Manglobe has been able to fit in so much material in each episode so far.

Food usually goes in a bowl ungarnished, spiced with some form of capsicum and greased with cheese or mayo. I'll take good ingredients over nifty gear any day and can improvise from there. What I can't do is untangle the spatula from the avocado slicer in a cluttered drawer. I just can't.
Sometimes I'm shocked by how primitive my kitchen is. For years I opened cans with a jackknife. I still don't own measuring spoons. Not one piece of my silverware matches another. But nobody leaves my table unfulfilled, and no one can taste how dull my knives are.
In fact, knives act as barometers for a cook's obsession with kitchen tools. You can spend a lot of money on them or almost none. Any knife can be kept sharp or get the job done dull.
My favorite knife is one I found in Thailand. It's exquisitely thin with a wide, flat tip I can use as a spatula. I picked it up on a motorcycle-taxi tour around Bangkok's open-air kitchen-supply markets. My driver was helping me find a cro hiin, Thai for "big-ass stone mortar and pestle."
We finally found my cro hiin at a market stall underneath an elevated highway. I bought both sets the guy had because they were perfect: well-crafted from smooth, heavy stone. They were the size of tea kettles and about 20 pounds each—5 for the pestle, 15 for the mortar.
When I finally got my mortars and pestles home, I placed one set on my counter, where it proved well worth the trouble of procuring it. It pulverizes everything, large and small, hard and soft. The pestle does all the work, and the mortar doesn't budge. The bowl's deep enough that its contents don't fly all over the kitchen. It consumes a bit of space, but it's worth it, even though it was a major pain to bring home. That cro hiin remains one of the most important and versatile tools in my primitive kitchen.
I gave the other to friends as a wedding present. What better way to symbolize a marriage than the grinding action of pestle in mortar? As for appropriate presents to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, the retail economy or whatever they're calling it these days, remember: Your friends probably already have an ice cream scoop. It's called a spoon.
