2017 Worst Year for new coasters in U.S. ?
coasterer replied to nhman93's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!It's definitely a noticeably lackluster year for new rides. It doesn't really affect much, as others are saying, there are still plenty of good rides and new-to-me coasters to hit. But I think the biggest bummer about having a down year is just not having any new projects to follow. Following construction updates, building hype and anticipation, waiting eagerly for new reviews - that's a big part of what makes this hobby enjoyable, especially during the off season. i miss the days when Intamin built new coasters stateside. Those were all a lot of fun to follow.
Wow, what a fascinating discussion! Super good points so far. I wonder what the cost associated with a minor track change is to a steel coaster, especially if any modifications to the supports need to be made. I'm somewhat speculating here. But I mean, remember when they smoothed out that little sudden dip right before the third 90 degree turn on Voyage? That was a perfect example of a smart slight track modification, but in that case the support system could remain pretty much intact, because the existing truss-like support structure could handle a slight elevational change in the track without any major difference in force distribution. And also notice, that any alterations to wood coasters (generally) are confined to vertical shifts (smoothing out hills / drops), or axis shifts (banking). It's really hard to make any lateral displacements because you'd have to rebuild or shift the whole support structure. In this way, RMC can make make dynamic changes in layout to wooden coasters, but you can't really move a whole airtime hill to the right 20 feet (for example), or enlarge the radius of a turn, without completely rebuilding the structure. But let's say B&M wants to make an elevation change to a certain part of one of their coasters. Those supports are pretty specifically designed for the force distribution as is, and would (likely) need to be redesigned if those forces were significantly redistributed, even if it was just a vertical displacement. Those large, angled supports would have to be re-angled and the length changed, if you understand what I'm saying, to match up with the new track. That's probably a fair amount of money. Then look at Intamin's track modifications. The barrel roll on Maverick was replaced with a relatively simple double-banked straight piece of track. They didn't have to alter too much in terms of footers and supports. But then you look at I305's first turn, it turned out to be an enormous headache to re-profile and it still is probably more intense than the park would like. The really big missed opportunity in my mind is the fact that Hulk didn't receive any layout modifications at all. It seems like it would have been the perfect opportunity to modify portions of the second half of the ride or make minor transitional changes, given that the entire structure was being rebuilt anyways. But, I'm no expert. Interesting conversation though. I would love to see track changes and layout improvements on steel coasters, when problems become large enough and fixable.
^ ^^ Ha! Guys! Thanks for dredging this back up. Now come to think of it, there has been a ton more like this I could share over the past few years. I did largely stop taking photos though when it became somewhat of a detraction from the actual experience for me, and I have grown out of some of the drama of my old college self [only a little though], but maybe if I'm in the mood I could throw some things together...
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
coasterer replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!Mean Streak bears so much resemblance to New Texas Giant in terms of scale, size, similarities in layout and length, etc. It's very exciting to me to think that RMC now has had 10 additional goes at coaster design and however many years of experience to rectify whatever might be lacking in New Texas Giant in terms of ride experience. It's like they almost get a second shot at their prototype model, taking what they've learned from their most recent (and arguably more thrilling) products (ie Lightning Rod, Wildfire, Medusa Steel, etc). Given the amount of height and length they have to work with, and their recent successes, I have no doubt this is going to undeniably be cream of the crop after they've had their way with it, and it will be so cool to see how far they've been able to come. Whichever year they open it. Count me as giddy-school-girl level excited, regardless of whether they open it tomorrow or in 2025.
Ride Bucket List
coasterer replied to Evanaj15's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!While there are a number of rides in addition to this that would be swell to get to at one point or another, these are the top remaining major coasters I would reeeeally really like to ride in my lifetime, the ones I would consider going substantially out of my way for. They are all outside of the US. I know some of them are weird choices, but these hold the most appeal for me. Expedition Geforce Wildfire (Kolmarden) Pyrenees Wood Coaster (Knight Valley) Anaconda (Gold Reef City) Flying Aces Tonnerre de Zeus Sky Car (Mysterious Island) Dragon Khan Wild Train (Fantasiana)
Photo TR: From Florida To Dollywood
coasterer replied to xVicesAndVirtues's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!Just went to the park the other day after a decade, terrified same as you that Thunderhead, the ride I remember so fondly, was as rough as everybody says it is. Oh my gosh, I was so relieved! Was it a tad bumpy in spots? Sure. Did it rumble slightly as it charged its way around its spectacular course? A bit, maybe. Did that teency bit of vibration detract at all from how brilliant this ride is?? No way no how. I love this thing, and agree with you completely. Still my favorite GCI after all these years. Great report!!! Looking forward to the rest.
Dollywood Discussion Thread
coasterer replied to crispy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!Totally agree about Dollywood's line up, it's pretty special. What stands out to me is that aren't any real duds. Every ride is worth riding (except maybe Blazing Fury if that's not your thing). And it's pretty amazing that Wild Eagle, Mystery Mine, and even Thunderhead are all supporting coasters now to the park's crown jewel, Lightning Rod. Their line up has more meat than most, and it does it with only 6 main coasters. Not many parks can match that.

Dollywood Discussion Thread
coasterer replied to crispy's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!We've been pushing back our visit all summer to wait for Lighting Rod, and we just got back from the park! Lightning Rod is unbelievable. Worth the wait, my goodness. It's up there towards the top of my rankings, I just want to sit on it for a while to figure out exactly where to put it... The ride opened about 30 minutes after the park opened, with a line of around 20-25 minutes most of the day. But it started drizzling in the afternoon, which cleared out the park, but the left the rides open. And let me just say, Lightning Rod in the rain is magical. The quadruple down at the end is just otherworldly. It just doesn't let up at all (unlike Outlaw Run, which kind of fizzles out towards the end). Managed to get 6 rides over the course of the day, 3 of which were more or less walk ons in the rain. Wow what a great ride. Also wanted to say that I was worried about Thunderhead - now, I adore this ride, but I had last ridden it in 2007, so I was worried about the roughness. While definitely noticeably rougher (and I know the GP thinks it's rough, they all talk about it), I didn't feel that the roughness was bad enough to significantly affect my opinions. It's still one heck of a ride. For the group that I went with, Wild Eagle was the clear favorite interestingly enough, until people rode Lightning Rod a second time. While the first time was a little too rough, once they knew what to expect, they warmed up to it.
New Wanda Parks in China.
coasterer replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!If I didn't know any better, I would guess that this ride was built about 20 years ago. It just looks strangely old-fashioned.
True Coaster Credits
coasterer replied to Angle O. Descent's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!To answer the original question, (I also love lists and numbers), I did a quick scan of my count and found that if I took out clones, my count decreased by a little less than 40%, give or take. Rough estimate. I agree that a hobby should really only be about what you enjoy doing. I also don't really spend time in the larger enthusiast community, so I never really engage with people where comparison is a thing. I go to parks with my wife or my close friends, and I keep my numbers and count pretty much to myself. I have my own way of doing things, and my own standards of what's worth it to me and what's not. I will generally ride everything I can when I'm at a new park, but I will generally only go to parks that have standout attractions, which to me are primarily any B&M, Intamin, RMC, or wooden coaster. Any parks without an attraction like that, or one-off kiddie coasters, aren't worth it to me. Now I will say that I've spent a good amount of time in developing countries, and in those countries my paradigms change. If I'm in an obscure part of the world and there's a small park or kiddie coaster nearby, I may indulge if I have the time (though not always). They're cheap, they're fun, the parks themselves are somewhat culturally interesting, it's often an experience even getting there - I enjoy that. But If there are a lot of options, I prioritize with the biggest draws, and will generally limit myself to a few of the bigger parks and ignore small single credits. And at this point in my life, I will usually only go to parks when I have a good excuse to be in that area/city. Rarely will I go to a place JUST for the roller coaster - if that is the case, then it's usually a top-notch attraction.
Beer, Coasters and Culture II
coasterer replied to Jcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!Beer, coasters, culture ... This is my kind of TR! Very nice, thanks for sharing. Call me crazy, but the few times I've ridden Bizarro at SFNE, I was so turned off by the Bizarro theming, loud noises, and general sluggishness of the big trains that I actually preferred Darien's model out of the three, with this one being not too far behind. Much cleaner. And the straight segments and large helixes with head choppers, while maybe not ideal and perhaps a little on the dead-space side, all things considered, do in fact give a nice sense of speed, especially over the lake and long grass. Thanks for this!!
My wife and I visited the park yesterday for closing day. It was our first visit so we can't compare it to its old self, but the attention to guest experience and customer satisfaction was really noticeable, and made for a really positive experience. It was a refreshing change of pace from a lot of other parks. And Rampage is so fun - such a great quality ride, and it was awesome to see the care and upkeep the park has put into it. It totally exceeded my expectations (and I love old CCIs). It was intense from start to finish, with a perfect balance between speed, old-school airtime, and great laterals, pushing the limits on intensity without crossing the line toward discomfort. I love how long it feels, and how it continues to build towards the end. What a great ride. So glad I finally got out here to ride this thing. Looking forward to seeing how this park continues to grow and develop!
PTR: The New England Jaunt 2016
coasterer replied to Jcoaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!Great report, thanks for sharing! I went to college on the East Coast but haven't been up there during coaster season since. Never made it all the way out to Canobie, but it's on the list! Wildcat also stands out to me as one of the worst coasters I've ever been on. And I think I prefer Boulder Dash to El Toro. Insane ride.

coasterer replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!Thanks for doing this, excited for more!
Vietnam's Increasing Coaster Count
coasterer replied to Gutterflower's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!This is great news! Having credit whored my way around Southern Vietnam, I'm excited to hear this. Thanks for keeping us thoroughly updated!
Congrats on getting down to less than 10 US woodies left! I have the same goal. Thanks for the update, I enjoying reading your TRs!
Was at the park this morning, and operations for Superman were some of the worst I've seen on any ride, let alone a major(ish) B&M. One train ops with multiple seats in multiple rows not functioning. The crew seemed to be as over it as I was, doing the bare minimum to get trains out at all, let alone full and in a timely manner. No bueno.
Photo TR: Password's Trek to the Midwest
coasterer replied to Password121's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!Great report, you have a great writing style. I cracked up at your use of the phrase "the following overbank hints at intensity". Kennywood is one of those parks that takes a little bit of maturity and nostalgia to fully appreciate - like you said, it isn't a giant 20+ coaster mega thrill park - but it's great to see you guys had such a good time. My wife is from Pittsburgh, and Kennywood was our first 'date'. Phantom's Revenge blew me away (I can be a bit of a B&M/Intamin snob), and the old woodies are great fun. Looking forward to the rest of this! Also, I've heard people from Western PA consider themselves the midwest. Growing up in Chicago, we still considered Ohio part of the midwest for sure.
Most Overrated coaster?
coasterer replied to BlackWidow's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!^Not to MENTION that triple down, which is everything.
I'm really enjoying this report, thanks so much for taking the time to write it up! Your time at Dollywood looked amazing. I'm in Atlanta now, a few hours away, and haven't been to the park in nearly a decade. Glad you had a chance to ride Lightning Rod, and I'm hoping to get on it in the fall. Thunderhead is still one of my favorites after all these years and I'm hoping it holds up next time I go. Looking forward to reading the rest of your report, really loving your perspective!
Kolmården Discussion Thread
coasterer replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!I feel like Wildfire is to RMCs as T-Express was to Intamin Prefabs nearly a decade ago... sort of the culminating crown jewel of the collection, really putting everything together and pulling out all of the stops in one giant ride. Can't wait to hear full reviews and hear how it stacks up against other RMCs and wooden coasters! Awesome pictures
Carowinds Discussion Thread
coasterer replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!Now that we live in GA, Yuengling Black & Tans have become my staple go to. Relatively cheap and adequately delicious. Also loved your TR, Fury is such a breath of fresh air. Easily one of the most well-rounded and impressive rides out there.
Silver Dollar City (SDC) Discussion Thread
coasterer replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!We were at the park yesterday too! First time. The theming absolutely blew us away. So much detail and character. The BBQ and Bluegrass was a great touch too. This place was probably the most quintessentially American place we've ever seen. When we ate BBQ up in the big hall my wife leaned over and said "So THIS is where all the Trump supporters are. We found them." Outlaw Run is really really great. That twisting hill after the first outside overbank is seriously wild, one of the most intense spots on any coaster. It's a tiny bit short for my taste, and the double barrel roll was surprisingly weak (everybody always said this but I just couldn't imagine it... and now I understand). The noise the coaster makes on the sideways airtime hill is the most amazing thing. Also, the last row was really rough and the second to last row was wonderful (but I was expecting this). I don't think it's better than Medusa Steel, and I'm not sure I can put it above El Toro, Boulder Dash, Voyage, or T-Express. But it really was great. Wildfire was a real treat too. It's one of the most beautiful, photogenic coasters I've ever seen, and that air in the back on the first drop is really great. I really enjoy B&Ms in general, but what really helps make a good B&M great and set it apart in my opinion, are the little turns and transitions in between the bigger inversions. Wildfire starts to do that just a little bit, providing great twists and pops - nice little touches to help make the ride a little more special. And it was sooooo smooth. Powder Keg was nice but it's not really my style. Overall, this place is truly special. It will be nice if they do get a new coaster next year. One more big ride would help round out the collection nicely.
Loved these reports too. Great writing style, and I think pretty similarly to you. Fury is a total game-changer, and Afterburn has held up so well. Congrats on completing the US inverts!! That's exciting. I'm getting there, but still have a few gaping holes in Montu and Banshee. And I totally agree with Goliath - it's great, and probably the best US hyper, but after riding Fury, it doesn't hold up quite as well. I haven't ridden Thunderhead since 2007 and in my mind it's still one of the best. i'm nervous to see if it still holds up when I go back to reride it, especially compared to it-that-must-not-be-named. Great stuff!!

The clinical course of postnatally acquired Zika virus disease in children younger than 18 years is mild and rarely results in severe illness or death, reported Alyson Goodman, MD, and her associates at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Atlanta.
There were a total of 158 confirmed or probable postnatally acquired Zika virus disease cases among children younger than 18 years reported to the CDC in the United States between January 2015 and July 2016, wrote researchers in a case series that described the epidemiology, clinical findings, and outcomes of the cases ( MMWR. 2016 Sep 30;65:1-4 ).
The cases were reported in 30 d ifferent states, and the states with the highest numbers of reported cases were Florida (23%), New York (11%), and California (9%). All patients acquired Zika virus infections during travel to a location where mosquito-borne transmission had been documented, according to researchers.
The median patient age was 14 years, the majority of the patients were female (56%), and five patients were pregnant.
Of Zika's four primary clinical signs and symptoms, 82% of the pediatric population had a rash, 55% had a fever, 29% had conjunctivitis, and 28% had arthralgia, with 70% of the children presenting with two or more of these symptoms.
Only two children were hospitalized because of their infections. No children were reported to have meningitis, encephalitis, or Guillain-Barré syndrome, and no patients with Zika virus infection died, researchers reported.
This data "corroborates previously published reports suggesting that the clinical course of Zika virus disease is typically mild in children, as it is in adults," Dr. Goodman and her associates wrote.
Severe disease and death in children with postnatally acquired Zika virus infection are rare, the researchers pointed out, but they encouraged physicians to consider a Zika virus disease diagnosis for children with the four common symptoms and who reside in or traveled to an area with active Zika virus transmission. All Zika virus disease cases should be reported to state health departments.

We have recently received some questions regarding insurance.
Please do have a conversation with your insurance broker as they really are the best people to advice.
One of the recent questions was around 'Directors and Officers Insurance'. We spoke with the CPGA broker, and the response can be seen below.
Directors & officers insurance is something I am recommending more and more to clubs as this protects the committee members against liability claims which may arise through their decisions. As these committee members are all volunteers, the last thing they would want is allegation being made and having to use their own money to defend it.
Accusations a committee member could face include:
- Breaches of health & safety regulations
- Using money outside an organisation's scope
- Not acting in an organisation's best interests
- Libel & slander
- Discrimination or harassment
One final point I would make, a club would need to let their members know that they are using club money to incept this cover as it is a policy protecting their personal liabilities and not the club. However, member shouldn't have an issue with this as they will recognise the work committee members put in to running a club.
Do revisit your club's insurance and think about what you as a club have in place.
It's worth looking to see if any projects that your club are considering this year fit this new fund criteria.
Between £300 and £10,000 so worth looking.

Giorgio de Chirico: A Metaphysical JourneyPaintings 1909-1973
Published by Walther König, Köln.Text by Gerd Roos.
As a forerunner of Pittura metafisica (Metaphysical art), Greek-Italian painter Giorgio de Chirico (1888-1978) exerted a powerful influence on the subsequent development of Surrealism, New Objectivity and Magic Realism. For example, well before the Surrealists, de Chirico had discovered the power of the unconscious and the independent language of objects. Influenced by the symbolic painting of Arnold Böcklin and the dream pictures of Max Klinger, he created his provocative city views of deserted or statically enlivened squares. At the same time, he made ironically intellectual self-portraits that now form a large part of the artist's complete oeuvre. In this enlightening volume, curator and de Chirico scholar Gerd Roos discusses the artist's development as it is reflected in his times; his break with his innovative, seminal painting style; and his turn to a traditional, academic concept of art.

The roll call I put together in a recent column of "dearly departed" folks with whom I have worked in show business elicited a lot of comment from readers of these notes, partially (I believe) because the list was so long. It is one of the side effects of being in a business where one's colleagues are older. That was most certainly true for me at the outset of my career in 1959.
At MGM, where I started right out of college, I was at least 20 years junior to anyone else in my department. It was the era memorialized in the film, The Last Picture Show. Movie theatres all over America had closed and the studios that supplied the films for those now empty houses were hardly a growth industry. That pretty much explained why I was the only member of the so-called Silent Generation in the building; to most of my contemporaries Hollywood must have looked like a poor place to begin any kind of a career. I rationalized the move as part of my understanding of the philosophy of contrary opinion. Simply put: when everyone else is zigging… zag.
In the late 1960s, on my first producer job (Daniel Boone), my associate producers, Joe Silver and Merwin Gerard were closer to my father's age than my own. Ted Schilz, my production manager was at least a decade older than I, and even older than that were my three top directors Bill Wiard, Jerry Juran and John Newland.
There was one exception, an Associate Producer who was six months younger than I. He was my first hire for my second year on the series and I write about this now because it only recently came to my attention that this alumnus of mine had also passed on. It merits comment as I reminisce, because of all the folks on that long list of the departed, this was one I absolutely do not—and will not—miss.
I was at my desk when I belatedly learned of the passing of this former associate. It was a rainy June afternoon on my Island Paradise, gloomy enough for reflection, recollection, and then (ultimately) the referral to notes I had made in the long ago. It had been over 50 years since I had hired this young (to everyone but me) associate producer. And, to everyone but me, it was clear that the mistake I had made in doing so was huge. I spent months defending him as well as my initial decision to bring him on board. The majority proved out to be right, as more and more my unpopular minion demonstrated a pathological need to "stir the pot," culminating in his even turning against the one defender/benefactor he had left. The pain he was to cause me in the years that followed came crashing over my memory like the California surf of my youth.
I began to write fast and furiously, recalling with the help of my copious and contemporaneous notes, this Iago-like minion who tried so hard—and in so many ways succeeded—to cause me harm. As if by reflex, others in my rogues' gallery came to mind. One who has passed on, and two others who, judging by actuarial tables, may soon join my little list of the never-will-be-missed. At least by me. When one considers the cutthroat reputation assigned to show business, it is a remarkably short compilation. Still, there is a lot of rich material there: one former boss, one erstwhile Network chief, and one other used-to-be-boss. These last two still linger on the planet, lending credibility to the poetic statement that only the good die young.
I pounded my keyboard, writing at length about each of them. It was not merely cathartic, the naming of names and the calling out of the villains of my life added (I thought) verisimilitude. More than one of my editors wrinkled their collective noses at what I had written. They considered it bad taste…or at the least…inappropriate, no matter how purifying it felt to me.
Chastised, I nevertheless wondered what authority had decreed not to speak ill of the dead? Turns out it was Chilon of Sparta (6th century BC). His admonition ("De mortuis nil nisi bonum") does have a ring to it. Still, I am betting he never had a career in show business.

Oh Barney, now this is a tease. No in-depth description of what these SOBs did to generate this strong impulse to speak your truth – once they died? Yes, we all can relate…even if we're not in show business. What did Chilon of Sparta know, anyway!" Dena Stewart

NEW YORK — Puma AG said robust apparel sales helped drive strong double-digit bottom- and top-line growth in the second quarter.
For the three months ended June 30, the Herzogenaurach, Germany-based branded global manufacturer reported a 48.3 percent jump in net income to 54.9 million euros, or 3.33 euros a diluted share, compared to 37 million euros, or 2.26 euros a diluted share, a year ago.
In dollars, Puma had profits of $66.2 million, or $4.01 a share, versus $42 million, or $2.57, last year. Figures have been converted at average exchange rates for the corresponding periods.
Net sales for the quarter increased 17.1 percent to 352.3 million euros, or $424.6 million, from 300.9 million euros, or $341.9 million. Excluding currency fluctuations, net sales would have grown 18.3 percent, Puma said.
By business segment, apparel sales led all divisions with a 26.3 percent gain to 99 million euros, or $119.3 million. Accessories revenues advanced 19.2 percent to 25 million euros, or $30.1 million, while footwear sales improved 13.3 percent to 229 million euros, or $276 million.
Geographically, Europe, which accounted for 68.5 percent of Puma's consolidated sales, saw revenues grow 23.7 percent to 232 million euros, or $279.6 million. Puma said all countries in the region posted double-digit sales growth and that, as expected, the apparel business grew at the fastest rate, improving 38.2 percent for the first half of the fiscal year. In the Americas, sales increased 9 percent to 72 million euros, or $86.8 million, with the U.S. chipping in a 13.9 percent revenue gain. The Asia-Pacific region recorded flat sales at 41 million euros, or $49.4 million, while the Middle East and Africa region posted a 9.5 percent increase to 7 million euros, or $8.4 million.
For the first half of the fiscal year, Puma said, net income grew 57.6 percent to 135.2 million euros, or 8.23 euros a share, from 85.8 million euros, or 5.28 euros, a year ago. In dollars, profits were $165.9 million, or $10.09 a share, versus $94.8 million, or $5.83.
Net sales for the period advanced 23.6 percent to 796.1 million euros, or $976.8 million, from 644 million euros, or $711.4 million.
In guidance, Puma said that based on its 22 percent increase in order volume as of June 30, annual earnings are forecast to grow more than 30 percent on top-line growth of about 20 percent.

This is my first time ever working with Docker and this size/complexity of bash script, pls be nice and help me learn the correct or more efficient way of doing things.
HMS Docker
Uses docker-compose to bring up the following containers to host an orchestrated home media server:
- Plex
- Tautulli
- Ombi
- Sonarr
- Radarr
- Jackett
- Transmission/OpenVPN with an HTTP Proxy
- Traefik
- Portainer
- Watchtower
Getting Started with the setup script:
- Define the path you want to use to store all data in the
.envfile after
DATAFOLDER(default is
- Define if you're using a network share or not by setting
- Define the domain you want to use in the
.envfile under
LOCALDOMAIN(default is
.local) and also in the
traefik.tomlwhere it says
- Enter your email address in the
traefik.tomlwhere it says
your-email-hereso you can receive notifications for when your certificates are expiring.
- Input your VPN info under
VPNPASSin the
.envfile, as well as the
VPNPROVIDERif your VPN subscription is supported. Click here to check supported VPN providers.
- Declare any other VPN environment variables (e.g. If using NordVPN, you can set the Country and Category with
- Configure any additional Transmission environment variables you may want.
- Define the
NETWORKSHAREDRIVER, currently only supports CIFS and NFS (ignored if
- If using CIFS, define where you want the
CREDENTIALFILEto go. WARNING: only the user that runs the script will be able to access this file as it is stored in their home dir by default with permissions 0600
- If using NFS, define the
NFSOPTIONS(if any). If no options are defined, the
/etc/fstabentry will use
defaultswhen mounting on boot.
- NFS users will also need to put in any sort of value for
NETWORKSHAREPASS, I don't have handling for blank entries yet for these.
- NFS users will also need to put in any sort of value for

- Change your timezone in the
.envif you are not in the
- Run
setup.sh, or just
docker-compose up -dif you already have a docker environment that you prefer.
If this is a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04, just run
setup.sh and it'll automatically remove old versions of Docker (if installed), add GPG keys and new Docker repo and install Docker, install docker-compose, mount a network share (CIFS or NFS) on boot by adding to
/etc/fstab, also appends the IP and hostname of containers to
/etc/hosts (if you enter Y when prompted).
If you already have a Docker environment setup:
- Modify the entries in .env as described above to adapt it to your environment (such as
- Copy the traefik.toml to ${DATAFOLDER}/traefik after modifying
- To run in the background as detached after container startup:
$ docker-compose up -d
- To run with container output for a bit of debugging (will kill containers on CTRL+C):
$ docker-compose up
How it Works
On container boot, Traefik obtains the IPs and hostnames of all running containers and builds a dynamic reverse proxy config that updates on container start and stop. The default assigned hostname values are
<container_name>.${LOCALDOMAIN} where
LOCALDOMAIN is defined in your
.env file. Default is
.local. (e.g. The sonarr container would be
sonarr.local and jackett would be
jackett.local by default).
It is highly recommended that you use a static IP for the docker host machine.
You will need to update your DNS to point all A records for these hostnames towards the docker host IP, the reverse proxy will handle the rest by serving the data on port 80.
If you do not want to update your DNS, you can still access the services by going to
<docker host IP>:<port of service>, or you can create a single "catch all" A record (e.g.
hms-docker.local) pointing towards the docker host IP and then specifying the port afterwards (
hms-docker.local:<port>), the ports for services are listed below:
Service ports:
- Plex: 32400/web
- Tautulli: 8181
- Sonarr: 8989
- Radarr: 7878
- Ombi: 3579
- Jackett: 9117
- Transmission: 9091
- Portainer: 9000
- Traefik: 8080
Although it is device-specific, you can update your
/etc/hosts file (or
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows) with the format
<docker host IP> <container_name>.${LOCALDOMAIN}
This will allow you to access the hostnames of the services by going to
http://<container_name>:port or
<container_name>'s are:
- plex
- tautulli
- sonarr
- radarr
- ombi
- jackett
- transmission
- portainer
- traefik
Or you can create the single "catch all" record in this
hosts file and just specify the port as mentioned above.
You will be given the option to append these to your
/etc/hosts file when running the script (only on Linux). Just enter Y or N when prompted. They will also be printed out so you can copy and paste if needed.
The Transmission container from
haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn also includes an OpenVPN client as well as a HTTP proxy (running on port 8888 of the transmission container) for other containers to route traffic through the VPN. You can find all supported VPN providers and configurations at https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn.
How everything connects
- After port 80 is forwarded, update the DNS with your registrar to add a
ombi.<TLD domain>that resolves to your IP so you can access ombi from anywhere thanks to the reverse proxy, along with any other containers you made available.
- Ombi sends any requests to Sonarr and Radarr, which contact Jackett to query a large number of trackers.
- Once a match is found, Sonarr and Radarr will determine if it should download it based on the quality profiles you specify and then send it off to Transmission to download.
- After it's done downloading/seeding, Sonarr or Radarr will link it to the Plex media folder and notify Ombi that it's ready on Plex.
- Tautulli is used for Plex analytics, such as which users have watched the most content, what kind of content, and a bunch of other useful data.
Note about SSL Certs
Only the Ombi container will be given an SSL cert by default. This is because it is most likely the only container that will be exposed to the internet. To change that, add/modify these lines to the label section of the container in the
- traefik.frontend.redirect.entryPoint=https
- traefik.frontend.headers.SSLRedirect=true
You may also need to update your
traefik.toml file in
${DATAFOLDER}/traeifik to get it to redirect to https every time.
Built With

- Watchtower

ENSO-Neutral conditions were observed over the past month, although sea surface temperatures (SSTs) were below-average over the east-central equatorial Pacific Ocean. While the Niño-3.4 and Niño-3 regions remained around -0.5°C for most of the month, Niño-4 and Niño 1+2 were -0.1°C and +0.3°C, respectively, by the end of the month.
Subsurface temperatures across the eastern and central Pacific remained below average, and negative temperature anomalies remained weak across the western Pacific.
Atmospheric anomalies over the tropical Pacific Ocean largely indicated ENSO-Neutral conditions.
The traditional Southern Oscillation index and the equatorial Southern Oscillation index were weakly positive during August.
The lower-level winds were near average, while the upper-level winds were anomalously westerly in a small region to the east of the International Date Line.
Convection was suppressed over the western and central tropical Pacific, although less suppressed compared to last month. Overall, the combined ocean and atmosphere system continues to reflect ENSO-Neutral.
The multi-model averages favor borderline Neutral-La Niña conditions (3-month average Niño-3.4 index less than or equal to -0.5°C) during the Northern Hemisphere fall, continuing into winter. However, the more recently updated model runs from the North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) more strongly favor ENSO-Neutral.
The forecaster consensus prefers this outcome, which is supported by the lack of significant anomalies in several indicators over the past month (winds, convection, subsurface temperatures).
Overall, ENSO-Neutral conditions are slightly favored (between 55-60%) during the upcoming Northern Hemisphere fall and winter 2016-17.
This discussion is a consolidated effort of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NOAA's National Weather Service, and their funded institutions. Oceanic and atmospheric conditions are updated weekly on the Climate Prediction Center web site (El Niño/La Niña Current Conditions and Expert Discussions).
Forecasts are also updated monthly in the Forecast Forum of CPC's Climate Diagnostics Bulletin. Additional perspectives and analysis are also available in an ENSO blog. The next ENSO Diagnostics Discussion is scheduled for 13 October 2016 .

We understand the stress associated with the buying process!Since you're here, you are obviously curious about Friend In French Tattoo Reviews. You've been bombarded with information, so you need to find a reputable source with credible options before you make any decisions on which product would be best for your needs.There are many sources that'll provide you with that information- buying guides or ratings websites, word-of-mouth testimonials from friends or family members, online forums where users share their personal experiences, product reviews specifically found all over the internet and YouTube channels. Only thorough research will ensure that you get the right product.But that's not always easy, right? That's why we've taken time to compile a list of the best Friend In French Tattoo in today's market, on your behalf, so that there will be no more worries for you.How did we come up with the list, you ask? How did we create this buying guide?
- First, our algorithms collected as much information available about these products from trusted sources.
- We employed both Artificial Intelligence and large data volume to validate all collected information.
- Then our AI ranked them on their quality-to-price ratio using industry-standard criteria that let us pick the best Friend In French Tattoo currently on the market!
- Brand Value: What happens when you go for a not-so-reputable brand just because the price seems cheap? Well, the chance of getting a short-lasting product goes higher. That's because the renowned brands have a reputation to maintain, others don't.
- Features: You don't need heaps of features, but useful ones. We look at the features that matter and choose the top Friend In French Tattoo based on that.
- Specifications: Numbers always help you measure the quality of a product in a quantitative way. We try to find products of higher specifications, but with the right balance.
- Customer Ratings: The hundreds of customers using the Friend In French Tattoo before you won't say wrong, would they? Better ratings mean better service experienced by a good number of people.

- Seller Rank: Now, this is interesting! You don't just need a good Friend In French Tattoo, you need a product that is trendy and growing in sales. It serves two objectives. Firstly, the growing number of users indicates the product is good. Secondly, the manufacturers will hopefully provide better quality and after-sales service because of that growing number.
- Value For The Money: They say you get what you pay for. Cheap isn't always good. But that doesn't mean splashing tons of money on a flashy but underserving product is good either. We try to measure how much value for the money you can get from your Friend In French Tattoo before putting them on the list.
- Durability: Durability and reliability go hand to hand. A robust and durable Friend In French Tattoo will serve you for months and years to come.
- Availability: Products come and go, new products take the place of the old ones. Probably some new features were added, some necessary modifications were done. What's the point of using a supposedly good Friend In French Tattoo if that's no longer continued by the manufacturer? We try to feature products that are up-to-date and sold by at least one reliable seller, if not several.
- Negative Ratings: Yes, we take that into consideration too! When we pick the top rated Friend In French Tattoo on the market, the products that got mostly negative ratings get filtered and discarded.

A local 6-year-old girl named Addilyn is battling a rare disease and cancer, and a GoFundMe page is collecting donations for her family.
The fundraiser, organized by Reanna Dittman and Courtney Wallen on behalf of Nicole Kubley, has collected $15,282 of the $15,000 goal as of Wednesday.
On the page, Dittman, wrote, "As most of you know, Addi was diagnosed with Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome, also known as SDS, at a very young age. The last few years have been nothing but busy, with keeping Addilyn's health in check, lots of doctor visits and lab work, which means lots of poking of needles and uncomfortable visits. Fast forward to March 8, 2022, Addilyn's parents got the call that no parent could ever imagine. She's in bone marrow failure and there are cancer cells.
"Fast forward again, four months later – Addilyn spiked a fever towards the end of June, which landed her in the ICU. Aside from spiking a fever, they also found out that she had pneumonia. Having a compromised immune system, makes it harder for Addilyn to fight pneumonia on her own. She began having troubles with her blood pressure and her oxygen, which required her to need to be put on oxygen. Things quickly worsened and she needed to be placed on a ventilator.
"Since then, her pneumonia has resolved, but she is currently still on a ventilator, with failed attempts of weaning her off.
"We are asking for friends and family to consider donating towards the Kubley family for their expenses, such as hospital bills, food, etc.
"Please, do not feel the need to donate. Share the page, follow her journey, pray for them, including the doctors and nurses who are working endlessly to help Addilyn and her family."
On Monday, Dittman posted on the GoFundMe page: "I am absolutely blown away from all the love and support that the whole entire Kubley family has received, from each and everyone one of you. It saddens my heart to say, that Addilyn most likely will not recover. She has been placed on hospice and the plan of action right now is to keep Addilyn as comfort as possible. The doctors and nurses have all done an amazing job at keeping her comfort.
"There are going to be a lot of hard conversations and very uncomfortable decisions to be made within the next few days. I ask everyone to please pray for them. Pray for comfort, pray for peace, just pray."
People can follow her journey on Facebook by following the link https://www.facebook.com/Addilyns-journey-2001692686758958/.

A Mural of Swirling Cursors, Dancing Skeletons, and Rainbow Hearts is Set in Motion When Viewed Through a "GIF-iti" App
For the D&AD (Design and Art Direction) festival, recently held in London, Shutterstock commissioned muralist and pattern designer INSA (previously) to create an interactive artwork. When viewed through the graffiti artist's "GIF-iti" app, the multi-part mural, titled "File Under:Unresolved" springs to life in a looping animation. Multiple working image windows are filled with visual content from Shutterstock's media library, ranging from cheerful Lisa Frank-esque rainbow hearts to a stock gif of a businessman smashing his laptop. Nestled among the working image windows are three file folders, constantly hovered over by an arrow cursor.
In a statement INSA wrote, "I hope that the work might make creatives consider how they feel about themselves, their work, the endless deadlines and their use of time in life." This augmented mural is far from INSA's first: the U.K.-based artist shares his animated artwork on Instagram and Tumblr. (via Fast Company)

Advanced Technologies Hide Below the Surface in New Three-Dimensional Collages by Dustin Yellin
Brooklyn, New York-based artist Dustin Yellin (previously) preserves three-dimensional photo collages in glass bricks to create what he describes as "frozen cinema." Some of his more recent works feature landscapes only slightly more dramatic than our own natural and manmade world, often with groups of subjects working together to construct grand machines. Humans unite to build rockets under waterfalls and the sea, while a time machine is secretly constructed underneath a car junkyard. No matter the subject, each work explores our fate within the Anthropocene and the lasting impression we will leave on the Earth. You can see more of his scenes encased in glass on his website and Instagram.

Jarring Juxtapositions of Prosperity and Conflict by Uğur Gallenkuş
Turkish artist Uğur Gallenkuş uses split images to emphasize the grave differences between war-torn countries and privileged, peaceful societies. Gallenkuş often specifically references Western visual culture in his juxtaposed images, such as Christian iconography of the Madonna and child, and the Instagram aesthetic of the ice cream cone portrait. In each composite image, the Istanbul-based artist pairs a carefully matched slice of prosperity with jarring documentation of conflict and poverty to show what occupies the attention and defines the experiences of people around the world, depending on where they live.
Gallenkuş has been creating these divided images for several years as a personal project, and has garnered global attention for his work, which he shares with nearly half a million followers on Instagram. In a recent interview with Juxtapoz, the artist explained, "If we want to live in peace and trust, we must have healthy knowledge and empathy. Wrong and biased information and hatred make these problems even worse."

Imitation China Plates and Layered Cut Paper Animals Explore the Sculptural Potential of Paper in a New Exhibition at Paradigm Gallery
Subtle manipulations, intricate cuts, and ornate collages are a few of the various ways contemporary artists are transforming paper today. These techniques and more are displayed in the upcoming exhibition pa•per, curated by Paradigm Gallery co-founder Jason Chen and featuring artists outside of the gallery's roster. The list includes Nayan and Vaishali (previously), the India-based duo who spend 4-6 hours a day crafting precisely sliced and painted miniature animals. Kent-based artist Sally Hewitt creates the illusion of a body's impression on cartridge paper by gently prodding the material with needles, bodkins, and embossing tools. Other included artists like Danielle Krysa and Lizzie Gill use collage, while Rosa Leff cuts traditional patterns and imagery found on fine china into cheap paper plates. The exhibition, hosted at Paradigm Gallery in Philadelphia, opens on April 26 and runs through May 18, 2019.

Atmospheric Collages by Art Duo 'Frank Moth' Combine Elements from the Past and Future
Frank Moth is the nom de plume of an anonymous Athens-based art duo. Together the pair creates atmospheric collages that combine elements from vast expanses such as oceans, deserts, and the universe at large. The artists combine these scenic elements with decades-old images of men and women, simultaneously dating the collages and giving them a futuristic feel. Because of this push and pull between the past and present, the pair refer to their work as "nostalgic postcards from a distant but at the same time familiar future." You can see more of the collaborative's collage work on Moth's Instagram and Tumblr, and shop prints in their Society6 store.

Elaborately Collaged Newspapers by Myriam Dion Transform Current Events into New Visual Narratives
In the patient hands of Myriam Dion (previously), daily newspapers become timeless works of art. The artist reads each newspaper she transforms from cover to cover before envisioning an entirely new visual identity for the inexpensive yet information-dense material. Using a combination of collage, X-ACTO knife cutting, gilding, and painting, Dion forms intricate patterns, often adorning and emphasizing a single image across the broadsheet.
"By crafting thoughtful mosaics out of the world events, I question our appetite for sound-bite news and sensational art, showing the quiet power of a patient hand and an inquisitive eye," she explains in an interview with Huffington Post. "I am creating a new newspaper that can be interpreted, that encourages people to think more deeply about the news that we consume too easily."
In addition to working with current events, Dion also engages vintage printed materials, like a 1953 issue of The Gazette that lauds a young Queen Elizabeth, and fact sheets from mid-century beauty pageant contestants. The artist is based in Montreal, Quebec, where she received her bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Quebec. Dion is represented by Division Gallery, and her work will be part of the group exhibition "Pushing Paper" at Museum London in London, Ontario from January 26 to May 12, 2019. You can see more of her work on her website.

I tried searching a lot, but I could neither find the paper that introduced Q-Learning nor the paper that introduced Deep Q Learning. If anyone knows anything about it please do tell me.
Where can I find the original conference paper that introduced Q-learning and Deep Q-Learning?
$\begingroup$ It's very strange that you didn't find the papers that introduced Q-learning and DQN. You just needed to type "Deep Q-learning paper" on Google to find it immediately as the first returned search result. $\endgroup$– nbroJul 13, 2021 at 11:01
$\begingroup$ Yes, I agree it is strange. I didn't find the original Q learning or DQN paper at all. I found a few papers introducing modifications/applications to these algorithms but not the absolute original one. $\endgroup$ Jul 14, 2021 at 9:45

This is the original Q-Learning paper by Watkins, though you may need to pay for access to this.
This is the Nature paper that introduced the DQN.

The Best Dark Souls 3 PVE Weapon Tier List
In the list below, you are able to see the best PVE Weapons tier list in Dark Souls 3 game. So, here they are.
- Lothric Knight Sword
This sword is dropped by Lothric Knights which can be found in the High Wall of Lothric, the Grand Archives and Lothric Castle. This sword has great scaling for sharp, refined and blessed infusions. With pure Dexterity builds, it marginally performs best. If you use this in combat, the thrust attacks of this sword will give it a longer reach if we compare to other weapons in the category.
- Hollowslayer Greatsword
You are able to get it after defeating the Curse-Rotted Greatsword. It can be crafted through Soul Transportation with the Soul of the Rotted Greatsword and 1,000 souls. This sword deals an additional 20% damage against hollowed opponents so that it makes it specifically great in PvE because the most creatures in the game are hollow. With quality builds, Hollowslayer Greatsword will work greatly.
- Astora Greatsword
You are able to get this weapon by looting it off a corpse in the graveyard near the Cleansing Chapel in the Cathedral of the Deep area. This weapon holds the title of lightest ultra greatsword in the game which gives the users more flexibility in providing attributes and equipment options. If it is used in combat, you can expect lower stamina consumption compared to other ultra greatswords while getting the advantages from similarly long reach. With a Sharp infusion for Dexterity builds, it can work best.
- Claymore
You are able to find it at the High Wall of Lothric, on the plateau with the perched fire-breathing dragon. Also, in Irithyll of the Boreal Valley, it is also dropped by enemies wielding claymores. This is a multipurpose weapon which can work with Dexterity, Strength and quality builds. You have to make sure to infuse it with the right gem.
- Ringed Knight Paired Greatswords
To get this weapon, you have to defeat the Ringed Knight near the cathedral in the Ringed City DLC. These weapons are effective in PvP particularly against anyone who lacks experience with the moveset of the pair. To be able to use these swords effectively, it is important for you to understand hit range and windows from enemies to avoid your attacks.
- Profaned Greatsword
You are able to get this weapon after you defeat Pontiff Sulyvahn. It is crafted through Soul Transportation by using the Soul of Pontiff Sulyvahn and 3,000 souls. This weapon can hit super hard. Besides, it has a moveset which combos very well with dodge rolls and thrust attacks.
- Sellsword Twinblades
It can be obtained as a starting weapon by the Mercenary class. For others, they can go to the Halfway Fortress bonfire in the Road of Sacrifices. The Twinblades are in a hallway past the Black Knight near the entrance to the keep. With a fluid moveset, these weapons merge fast strikes. It makes them one of the best weapons for a pure Dexterity build. You have to make sure that you infuse it with Sharp for the best results. So, you can slice and dice your way through any PvE content.
On my daily job, I am a software engineer, programmer & computer technician. My passion is assembling PC hardware, studying Operating System and all things related to computers technology. I also love to make short films for YouTube as a producer. More at about me…

Sound of Silence: Century III to be Sold at Sheriff's Sale
The nearly 40-year-old mall encounters foreclosure once again. Will this sale be the end of the line?
photos via flickr creative commons
It's been years since West Mifflin's Century III Mall was considered a hot shopping destination. These days, the mall is so empty you're more likely to find people having a nerf-gun war than actually shopping.
It may finally be the end for the once-great shopping mall. After two of its last anchor stores, Sears and Macy's, closed in 2014 and 2016 respectively, Century III will be sold at a sheriff's sale — otherwise known as a foreclosure auction — on June 4.
Century III opened in 1979 and was once one of the biggest and best malls in western Pennsylvania. Moonbeam Capital Investments LLC bought the mall for $10.5 million in 2013 after its former owner, Simon Property Group, defaulted on its $79 million property loan. Unless another buyer comes along with a plan to give the space a third chance as a shopping mall, the sheriff's sale will be the end of an era.
Despite its now-short list of open stores, it seems Century III mall will always hold a special place in many Pittsburghers' hearts.
Century III mall finally closing feels like the fall of the Holy Roman Empire
— Gina Granata (@ginagranata) April 15, 2018
As a W. Mifflin native who remembers the glory days of #CenturyIIIMall, this hurts my heart. Its time was probably up regardless … but the last few owners certainly hastened its death with neglect. https://t.co/Wl8d3DBwGM

Century III Mall – The place to be in the 80's and now its dead. As a child of mallrat culture this saddens me. #deadmalls #1980s
— Michael Davis (@spridlewv) April 13, 2018
Recent Century 3 Mall visit. Nostalgia kicked in walking this mall. As a kid/teenager I came here a good bit. When it opened in 1979, it was one of the biggest malls in America. Sad to see the shape it is in today. Only roughly 19 stores left out of the 200 at its peak.

From Shimla to the icy heights of Spiti, more than 55 lakh voters across Himachal Pradesh are expected to step out on Saturday to elect a new state government.
The Election Commission has set up 7,884 polling stations, including three temporary voting stations in remote areas.
One of the polling station has been set up in Tashigang in Lahaul and Spiti. Situated at 15,256 feet, the polling station in Tashigang is the world's highest polling and will cater to 52 voters. It has been made Model Polling station to make voting easy for senior citizens and disabled voters.
Lahaul-Spiti district has 92 polling stations, the lowest in the state.
With snow spells in the higher reaches of the hill state, polling officials had to cover snow-covered assembly constituencies on foot to ensure that even the voters in far-flung areas get to vote in the election.
Chamba, a remote district of the state, has the maximum number of 1,459 voters. The 26-Chask Bhatori polling station of Bharmour AC is the remotest station in this district, where the polling party has to walk a distance of 14 km to reach.
Tashigang (Lahaul&Spiti ), has world's highest polling station at 15,256 ft & 52 registered voters, is set to retain its record of 100% voter turnout in the Nov 12 assembly election. It has been made Model Polling station to make voting easy for senior citizens & disabled voters. pic.twitter.com/SJcw86Z3lL- CEO Himachal (@hpelection) November 12, 2022
A total of 412 candidates, including Chief Minister Jairam Thakur, former Chief Minister Virbhadhra Singh's son Vikramaditya Singh, are contesting in the elections in 68 constituencies across the state.
For the ruling BJP - which is hoping to break the state's tradition of governments being voted out after a single term - Prime Minister Narendra Modi has led the campaign from the front, wrapping up his campaign with a personal appeal to voters of the state, where he said every vote cast for the BJP symbol "lotus" will enhance his strength.
The election is also crucial for the Congress which is hoping for a comeback after years of sliding electoral fortunes.
The counting of the votes has been scheduled for December 8.

Castle of the Black Dragon
Holidays & The Cycle of Time
With each year we have a reflection of the great Fall of Satan and His kin down, down to what, come spring, is established as Hell.
The Fall Equinox of Satan Satanael recalls the fall and rebellion of angels, and in memory of the suffering They endured, but ultimately a holiday of hope in that in this sacrifice of self for the greater good there is happiness to come.
The Winter Solstice of Satan Asmodeus is the celebration of freedom, recalling Asmodeus and His kin being freed from the enslavement of s/olomon. And just like the sun, by Satan Asmodeus are we reborn into free beings and better versions of ourselves. We are still a broken not-even nation but at least we are now individuals shackled to none, wiser and lighter, sure of the Hell we wish to build.
The Spring Equinox of Satan Lucifer is the start of our nation of Hell. We were always a community in love for one another, but now we resolve to building the structures to create the world we wish to make for ourselves and each other. It's a time for organizing, starting new projects, and strengthening what we already have.
The Summer Solstice of Satan Belial is to see our Hell in full realization.
⛧ Fall
The sun is in it's midpoint between North and South. The sun sets in the West, much like in fall it gets colder and things begin to die, making this season West, Water, Satanael.
Fall/Autumnal Equinox
When the days and nights are of equal lengths, but from then on the days get shorter and the nights get longer as the sun moves into the southern hemisphere.
Celebration of the world's gifts, thanks for another year lived, and participating in indulgences and desires as if you're soon, because metaphorically you are. Signifies the beginning of the Fall, ending on Halloween when Satan and His people are established and rejoiced in Hell. The West, Water, and Satanael. Heralds Satan's epitome: Halloween.
Devil's Night - October 30th
The night Demons are petitioned to for war against injustice and personal ills. A ritual is performed in which the Demons of Hell are given offerings and honours so that they might answer our pleas. Things and concepts we'd like to get rid of, both externally and within ourselves, are written down on scraps of paper to be burned, and in this burning they are carried away by the Demons to do what They will to destroy them. This carrying away is also a cleansing of ourselves.
General celebration of Satan in His totality, Hell, the self, the universe, and being alive. Honouring the good things in life. You know what it's about.
Honouring of the Dead in Hell - American Thanksgiving
Truth be told, I just wanted something to do with all the left overs generated.
⛧ Winter
The sun is in the southern hemisphere, thus making this season South, Fire, Asmodeus.
Winter/Hibernal Solstice
When the sun is furthest into the South, producing the longest night of the year before beginning it's way back.
A time to honour the dead and love those that're still alive with us. This is a day to reflect on what lies inside of you, as winter is a dark and solemn time. Light fires and feel the warmth and wisdom of Asmodeus radiating through us to these deeper reaches we may hide away. The South, Fire, and Asmodeus.
Anniversary of the Serpents – February 14th
An adaptation of Valentine's Day to honour the Leviathans and Their message of love, family, and the persistence of compassion despite it all.
New Year's Eve/New Year's Day – Baphomet/Azazel
⛧ Spring
The sun is at its midway point between North and South. The sun rises in the East, much like how spring brings new life, as well, making this season East, Air, Lucifer.
Spring/Vernal Equinox
The sun rises once again from the quiet, deadening winter, as Lucifer rises from Hell to beacon His light to guide the Earth. We have come together in the season of Asmodeus under a common bond, rallied and healed, so now it's time to build our Utopia.
April Fools - April 1st (to be satanified)
May Day
Human sacrifice (symbollic) to Moloch for fertility in the coming year. Inspired by similarities between the wicker man and Moloch of the bible.
⛧ Summer
The sun is in the northern hemisphere, thus making this season North, Earth, Belial. Hell is flourishing.
Summer/Estival Solstice
⛧ Miscellaneous
Friday the Thirteenth
Fasting of things we may like, but ultimately cause us harm, traded in for acts of hedonism and offerings to the self and to the Infernal. Fabulous time for magic.
Waxing/Full Moon
Illumination and concentration, therefore Above, the Alchemized, Beelzebub.
Waning/New Moon
Subconscious and untouched by the sun, therefore Below, the Natural State, Azazel.

RENTON — On a summer trip to Ireland in 2018, Alex Collins took a tour of the famed Cliffs of Moher. He got to the top of the cliffs and, naturally, he started to dance.
"Being a male Irish dancer takes shamrocks," read the T-shirt Collins wore that day.
Collins was able to show off his Irish dance moves in his touchdown celebration after his 8-yard run helped clinch the Seahawks' Week 17 victory at San Francisco last season.
After a solid showing during the first week of Seahawks training camp, the veteran running back looks like he will have a few more chances to celebrate with his dance steps this season.
"The fans have been wanting to see the Irish dance, " he said Tuesday, "so I've been coming up with new ways to show out."
Collins picked up Irish dancing back home in Florida in 2016, as he prepared for the NFL draft. His high school coach's daughter was an Irish dancer, and she eventually dared him to try. He did it, and enjoyed it. Better yet, he discovered the footwork required for the dance moves helped him as a running back.
He's continued to take dance lessons in the offseason — he's usually the only male dancer in his classes — and he reported for camp last week noticeably leaner.
Collins is listed at 210 pounds, about 10 pounds lighter than when the Seahawks drafted him in the fifth round in 2016.
"Hopefully I look better, a little skinnier," Collins said, smiling.
Teammates and coaches have taken notice.
"Alex Collins is going to be a monster," DK Metcalf volunteered this week.
After playing for the Seahawks in 2016, Collins had his best season with Baltimore in 2017, rushing for 973 yards and six TDs. Injuries slowed him in 2018, and he was out of football in 2019.
He returned to the Seahawks last November, initially joining the practice squad and then getting activated for three games as injuries mounted for Seattle's running backs.
Collins then re-signed with Seattle on a one-year veteran deal this offseason, and he is now pushing Rashaad Penny for carries behind starter Chris Carson.
"They wanted me to come back here when I was a free agent (last fall) ... and it was like nostalgia being back in the facility, seeing the same coaches and some of the same players," Collins said. "It was a dream almost, like wow, we picked up right where we left off and just those good vibes again. I came here and didn't miss a step. It's a great feeling."
