Babis Gwyrdd yn Sain Ffagan!
Dros y misoedd diwethaf rydym wedi cynnal cyfanswm o 5 diwrnod Babis Gwyrdd yn y T? Gwyrdd yma yn Sain Ffagan. Y syniad tu ôl i'r dyddiau Babis Gwyrdd oedd hybu ymarferion gwyrdd ac i leihau'r effaith amgylcheddol y gall godi babi gael.
Er mwyn gyflawni hyn gwahoddwyd nifer o arbenigwyr mewn i'n helpu, fe hoffwn i ddiolch pob un ohonynt!
Yn amlwg un o'r prif ffyrdd o leihau effaith amgylcheddol wrth fagu plentyn yw drwy ddefnyddio cewynnau y gellir eu hailddefnyddio. Mae hyn hefyd yn ffordd wych o arbed arian, tua £ 700! Mae'r cewynnau y gellir eu hailddefnyddio wedi symud ymlaen cryn dipyn ers dyddiau terry towelling a phinnau enfawr! Roedd yn wych gweld ymateb pobl pan ddangosir enghreifftiau o'r gewynnau ffansi newydd ac i glywed eu straeon!
Felly, rhaid i mi roi diolch enfawr i'r 3 darparwyr cewynnau y gellir eu hailddefnyddio a helpasom ni dros y 5 diwrnod. Yn gyntaf oll i mamigreen sydd wedi eu lleoli yng Nghaerdydd a ddaeth i helpu i ni ar y 2 ddiwrnod cyntaf Babis Gwyrdd. Yn ail diolch yn fawr iawn i Gemma o Little Gems Nappies (Pontypridd) a ddaeth i'n helpu dros 3 diwrnod yr wythnos diwethaf yn ystod gwyliau'r Pasg. A hefyd diolch yn fawr iawn i Melanie o Little Lion (ger Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr) am fenthyg i ni amrywiaeth o gewynnau a gellir eu hailddefnyddio er mwyn i ni ei harddangos!
Os oes gennych ddiddordeb mewn dysgu mwy am gewynnau y gellir eu hailddefnyddio neu yn ystyried defnyddio nhw, yna edrychwch ar eu gwefannau. Maent i gyd yn ymdrin â'r rhan fwyaf o de Cymru ac yn ymgynghori dros y ffôn yn ogystal ag ymweliadau cartref!
Roedd hefyd stondin gan Fairdos sef siop Masnach Deg yn seiliedig yn Nhreganna yng Nghaerdydd. Fel cyflenwr o bob math o nwyddau Masnach Deg roedd hwn yn gyfle gwych i arddangos eu dillad baban, teganau a bibiau o gotwm Masnach Deg. Diolch yn fawr iawn i'r gwirfoddolwyr Fairdos a roddodd eu hamser i staffio'r stondin!
Y maes olaf buom yn eu trafod oedd bwyd babanod. Mae gwneud bwyd baban eich hun yn iach, yn rhad, ecogyfeillgar, ac rydych yn gwybod yn union beth sydd ynddo! Roedd gennym ddogfennau cyngor Llywodraeth Cymru a ryseitiau ar gael i'w darllen. Fe wnaeth llawer o ymwelwyr gofyn i ni lle gallent ddod o hyd i'r dogfennau eu hunain. Felly dyma ni ...
Yn olaf, diolch enfawr i bawb a ddaeth i'n gweld yn ystod y digwyddiad ac am rannu eich gwybodaeth, yn enwedig y rhai a gymerodd ran yn ein cystadleuaeth drwy roi cyngor ar ein coeden syniadau Babis Gwyrdd! Cyn bo hir byddwn yn dewis enillydd a chysylltu â nhw er mwyn anfon gwobr iddynt

We have chicks!
Or at least the Peregrines do. There was a worrying moment yesterday morning when I didn't see any activity around the nest for hours, I couldn't see a bird on the nest - and it was raining. I eventually saw the female at the nest late morning but she just had a cursory glance at the nest then flew off.
She returned a little while later and then sat on the nest for the rest of the day. The male flew in a couple fo times and on one occasion I am pretty certain brought in a little lump of food. The female didn't stir but it's possible the chick hatched sometime yesterday (or over the weekend).
When I switched the camera monitor on in my office this morning I saw the female was sitting on the nest then the male popped in with a morsel of food. The female stood on the edge of the nest, started tearing small chunks off and was stretching into the back of the nest to offer the food to the chick. This went on for about 10 minutes until the female resumed incubation.
Peregrines normally lay 3-4 eggs and start incubating as soon as they lay the first one, which means the first egg laid hatches first. Assuming the other eggs hatch there will likely be more chicks over the next few days but it could be a couple of weeks before they are big enough to be seen over the rim of the nest.
Peregrines on the Clock Tower 2012
As with last year the Peregrines were around over the winter, I could see, or hear, them from the office most days. It seems August/September is when they are least visible, probably while they are moulting their feathers after the breeding season.
The camera was back up and running in mid-March just in time to see the female start incubating eggs some time around the 20th.
Let's hope that they have a better season than last year!

Roman Mosaics at Easter
So during this very busy Easter holiday our visitors have been taking inspiration from the Roman building materials we have in the Clore Discovery Centre to make their own Roman mosaics. The results have been oustanding with adults getting as absorbed as children. Here are some of the results but for more come and see the big screen in The Clore Discovery Centre
Art Gallery VADU
VADU: Visual Audio Display Unit
My last blog entry was back in April 2009, so this is a hesitant return.
In July 2011 the refurbished Contemporary & Modern Art galleries were re-opened at the National Museum Cardiff, the following VADU would be included in the initial exhibition. The specification was mainly to showcase video shorts: recorded, interviewed and edited by a few of my colleagues (Art and New Media), the videos would have subtitles and also there would be a visitor comments page.
The iPad 2 was about to be launched when I started work on the VADU. Magic was in the air, queues were forming.
Note: it has been used for two exhibitions, so far:
- Contemporary & Modern Art (July 2011 – January 2012)
- The Queen: Art and Image (January 2012 – April 2012)
Project Ethos
Although there is an 'App Store', it seemed like overkill to write and release an application simply for four machines in an art gallery - I used 'Kiosk Pro' instead, an application which basically removed all the usual iPad functionality and locked it down to a fullscreen Safari browser.
In regards to the actual design aspect of the VADU interface: the only two constraints were museum brand guidelines and a particular colour had to be used to unify it with the surrounding new gallery signage.
Around May 2011, Braun's designer Dieter Rams design ideas entered my world (I can't repeat his mantra here, but only because it is copyrighted). Anyhow, I tried to create an interface that was simple, intuitive, consistent, and didn't distract the user from the actual content:
- Only two colours
- No drop-shadows or gradients
- 10px borders
- I did allow myself one curvy corner (bottom-right), one guilty pleasure
- User navigation: horizontal gestures only
- Page transitions: vertical only
Building Blocks
If you haven't already looked at the photograph 1 and 1b, I would take a look now; so we have a shared reference images in mind.
The top section displays the title of the exhibition, followed by page buttons (Art, Comments and What's On). All exciting stuff - the tip of an arrow indicates which page the user is on (hopefully in a subtle fashion).
The language button starts the most convoluted process on the VADU, in terms of animating a page change. I didn't want the change to be instant, instead I gave it a more graceful flow. The actual result of changing the language only swaps the domain name from English to Welsh or visa-versa (museumwales.ac.uk, amgueddfacymru.ac.uk), but the time it takes to do that is over four seconds. It should become clearer later, if you watch the video below.
The middle section displays the video in focus at the time, large screen print from the video is shown in the background - title, summary and extraneous information such as video length are shown on the information panel. In large font the word: 'Play', indicating the user can start a video. Left and right arrows also allow the user to shuffle through the videos. The information panel can be moved from the right or left of the background image - something that resulted from the fact artists don't like their work flipped [in a digital sense] i.e. if the focus of the background is to the left, the information panel can be positioned to the right by indicating such in the CMS metadata entry.
The bottom section can be dragged with a finger left and right, selecting any one of the sixteen videos. It was quite important to have draggable areas, because it is simply expected by iPad users (thus, making it intuitive). The same draggable feature is used for the what's on page (photograph 6).
If the user selects a video, the screen removes all navigation features so they are only left with the title of the video, a video time indicator (so the user knows the video is only short), the video itself in the center of the screen, the subtitles at the base of the screen and a 'back' button. The user can pause and un-pause the video by tapping of the video in the center (see photograph 3). The video's themselves use the same colour as the VADU, so it all fits together neatly.
Finally the comments page is simple too: optional name input, text input and the last three comments are displayed on the right-hand side (hopefully encouraging the user to write something). The comments are fed into the usual website comments system, approved (or not) by a staff member (photograph 5) – there has been over 2000 comments left of the gallery VADU since July 2011, which is quite a lot considering no one was forcing these people to write something.
The subtitles are again displayed using javascript, they are not integrated into the video. I built a subtitles tool within the Amgueddfa CMS using Javascript and Flash, which creates a XML file that could be dropped into the caption of the video. The idea being that the majority of videos need to be available to two languages and if the videos were published on the main website at anytime, a transcript could be displayed too. Hopefully the task of transcribing the video in the first place is easier because of it. There you go, a little of the behind the scenes work (photograph 7).
Past Performance
The gallery VADUs have been very reliable; once every few months one of them may freeze, but considering they are always on (one weakness of iOS software is you can't boot-up into a single application), that's not too bad. I darken the screen after the galleries close – simply using a whole–screen black div.
We had a brief problem when changing the local network settings in January, so I added a check before the VADU changes language to see if there is a network available (an AJAX query: onSuccess or onFailure).
Future Development
If it continues to be used, I would like to develop a local version of the VADU, providing a fallback if the network goes down, or maybe a hybrid version (storing the videos on the VADU). This would mean a update of the iOS (from 4.3 to 5.1+), but I'm sure there would be some associated browser performance improvements.
Other major changes shouldn't be required, as the video shorts are meant to be the star of the show.
Final Word
Obviously it helps to have a pleasant environment to place the VADUs (photograph 9).
Video Demo
I've included a short demo video for posterity:
Every object tells a story
Inspired by the most inquisitive visitor ever who came and really tested my knowledge yesterday (perfect mental warm up for all the questions we'll get about the collections over the holidays) I thought it would be useful to give some suggestions for things to consider when exploring objects.
All objects have some kind of a story, and objects are all evidence of somewhere, something, or somebody ans as such all have stories to tell.
So when you're looking at an object for the very first time, thinking about some of these will guide your exploration:
Is it real or a model?
How old is it?
Is it man made or natural?
What might it have been used for/by whom/when/for what?
Does it remind you of anything you've seen before?
Some of our busy school visitors investigated and explored objects in the gallery, through careful questioning and research they discovered lots about their objects. Here is a selection of the labels they wrote
Gwneud Tro a Thrwsio
Mae Wood for the Trees yn dychwelyd i'r T? Gwyrdd ar Ddydd Sadwrn, 7 Ebrill. Yn gynharach eleni, cynhaliwyd gweithdy gwneud stôl droed, a oedd yn llwyddiant mawr fel y gwelir o'r llun.

Sun, snow & hosepipe bans
What a crazy few weeks of weather we have had! In one week the weather reporters have featured record breaking temperatures, hosepipe bans and now snow in many places!
The high pressure gave us plenty of sunshine and record breaking temperatures but now temperatures have returned more to what we would normally expect for the time of year.
Meanwhile, the temperature of our planet is still rising. 2010 was the hottest year across the globe. For the UK this seems to mean that wierd weather is becoming more and more normal. We have certainly seen some strange weather since starting our investigation.
BBC Horizon broadcast a program called 'Global Weirding', it explored the science behind why the world's weather seems to be getting more extreme.
It will be interesteing to see what our results show this year.
I've recieved all the data now so after Easter I will be looking at the trends and discussing them with schools.
Many thanks to all the bulb buddies that have worked so hard keeping records since last November.
Enjoy the Easter Break!

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
I normally take the entire month of October off & head to Wyoming for fishing. This was my first day on the water in Oct. 2006. A friend had also flown out & took this photo of a brown trout getting the better of me for more time than I would like to admit. But it was fun.

The Bloon Balloon can be launched from anywhere in the world for a flight specially catered to the passengers. Four passengers plus two pilots can fit inside the craft, which is launched off a specially crafted inflatable dome set on the ground. When released the lighter-than-air helium balloon lifts the pod off the ground and into space where you cruise at 36 km for about two hours. To come down, the helium gas is vented into space and then the balloon separates while a parafoil is deployed to control descent back down to earth. Finally, eight inflatable feet are extended from the craft to create a cushion for landing.
Bloon will not use any propellants to achieve near-space travel and creates no emissions as a result. The system is virtually silent and requires no major infrastructure for launching – only a portable and inflatable structure that can be used anywhere in the world. With a scaled prototype test under their belts, the company hopes to perform their first human test flight in 2012 in a 'minibloon' craft. By 2015, the company expects to be carrying human passengers up to 36 km high. The company also hopes to make use of the flights for scientific research about climate and conditions in the upper stratosphere. Tickets to ride on a 3-hr Bloon tour are estimated to cost 110,000 euro (approx $US 160,000).

Maybe they could locate to some where with little to no air traffic (seems like they would have to anyway), keep the "Bloon" tethered and reel it back at the end.
caeman August 16, 2011 at 12:36 pm
With Helium reserves a finite and shrinking resource, maybe another form near-space travel should be considered.
Bardsworld August 16, 2011 at 12:25 pm
So using vast amounts of a non-renewable resource (helium) for pleasure trips is green? Do they not know the world is running out of helium – http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/why-the-world-is-running-out-of-helium-2059357.html

The Atlantic Magazine's Disgraceful Bernanke/Fed Propaganda (And Why You Shouldn't Buy It)
As Winston Churchill pointed out, history is written by the victors. The big end of finance, having won decisively in the global financial crisis, is in the process of rewriting history to suit its liking. The cover story in the current Atlantic by Roger Lowenstein on Ben Bernanke, titled simply, " The Hero," is a classic example of this type of revisionist history.
I don't know what has happened to Lowenstein. His book on the collapse of hedge fund Long Term Capital Management, When Genius Failed, is a terrific piece of reporting. People I know who were on the inside of the LTCM rescue negotiations give his account high marks. But he has increasingly fallen into the role of scrivener for powerful interests, when his previous standards of writing and his knowledge of the finance beat says he must, on some level, know what he is doing.
The Fed couldn't have gotten better PR if it had paid for it. Lowenstein's account has just enough muted criticism of Bernanke (he was slow to see the severity of the crisis, his critics on the left may have a point in saying he hasn't been aggressive enough in trying to reflate the economy) to mask its hagiography.
And this sort of spin-meistering is effective. Not only did people at the Atlantic economy conference, which coincided with the release of the piece, take up the "Bernanke did a great job in the crisis" mantra (they seemed to appreciate a piece that reinforced inside-the-Beltway conventional wisdom) but the cover, with a beatific picture of Bernanke and "THE HERO" blazed across his chest, will be seen by lots of people walking by newsstands and have an impact well beyond those who read the piece. As further proof of its faux-objectivity, the title inside the magazine is "The Villain," to highlight the way (as Lowenstein positions the piece) Bernanke is being unfairly pilloried.
I'll turn to the major arguments shortly, but one of the things that was particularly annoying was the way it repeatedly gilded a rotting cabbage. These are devices that most readers would miss, by virtue of not reading carefully enough to recognize their construction, or not knowing the terrain well enough to discern how Lowenstein skews his account. Here are a few of numerous examples:
Lowenstein offers a key parenthetical, in discussing quantitative easing:
…we have no way of knowing whether the economy's improvement would have been less robust, and how much so, without Bernanke's efforts
This is a twofer: it paints a tepid, technical recovery as "robust" and gives Bernanke meaningful credit for it.
Lowenstein mentions the nervous collapse of Montagu Norman, the governor of the Bank of England during the Great Depression, as proof of how tough it is to be a central banker during a crisis. Um, Montagu had a long history of mental instability and had had a breakdown in 1912. His psychological fragility is described at length in Liaquat Ahamed's book Lords of Finance.
Lowenstein depicts Bernanke as an apt student of economic history, when his account shows the Fed chair is either intellectually dishonest or has issues with reading comprehension:
As we began to discuss his policies, the Fed chief urged me to pick up a copy of Lombard Street, a seminal book on central banking written by Walter Bagehot, the 19th-century British essayist. "It's beautiful," Bernanke said of the book—obviously appreciating that Bagehot had urged central bankers to take vigorous action to forestall panics.
Huh? Most people who know anything of Bagehot can recite his famous Bagehot rule: Lend freely, against good collateral, at penalty rates. You can cherry pick Bagehot to emphasize the "lend freely" bit, and one can argue that a central bank has the power to make any collateral into "good seeming" collateral by dint of throwing enough money at it. But the message of this paragraph is that Bernanke is a faithful student of well-established principles of central banking. In fact, Bernanke has thrown central ingredients of the formula out the window: the rescue is to be only of solvent but illiquid institutions, and then it has to be sufficiently painful as to deter them from coming back any time soon.

Editor's note: Katie Couric spoke with WTOP this morning about interviewing Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o. Read and listen to what she had to say here.
Andrew Mollenbeck,
WASHINGTON - A flirty fake on social media targeted several Redskins players last season, but the steamy images and messages never led to the drama that has surrounded Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o.
A story posted on NFL.com reports at least four Redskins were caught up in the hoax.
According to the story, a woman -- a diehard Redskins fan -- snagged photos of porn star C.J. Miles and passed them off as her own.
She apparently sent photos to players' cellphones and communicated via Twitter.
Eventually the team realized the woman, using the pseudonym Sidney Ackerman, wasn't real.
Phillip Daniels, the team's director of player development, then warned players to avoid her on social media, the story says.
The players never met the woman in person, even though the conversations were said to have continued for months.
The woman's Twitter and Facebook accounts were removed, NFL.com says.
Teachable moment
Te'o and the Redskins' brush with faux cyber romances offers a lesson for anyone looking for love on the net, says Julie Spira, an online dating expert and founder of the website CyberDatingExpert.com.
"I think the need to love and be in love is so strong that the fantasy love and the emotions take over," she says. "Please, don't change your Facebook status to 'In a Relationship' until you've met someone in person, and you're both on the same digital page," she says.
Spira lists several red flags. An immediate warning sign is if a photo looks too perfect and touched up, and it's not supported by additional photos. The person may be using a fake identity.
Another red flag: the communication very quickly jumps to "I love you."
She points out there are also a number of ways to use photo recognition to identify a person. Google provides a reverse image search that scans the internet for the same photo.
"Hop on a Skype call or a video chat," Spira says. "It's free. It's ridiculous not to use it because technology is so easy."
Even those steps aren't a guarantee you won't be duped, but it gives would-be Romeos an opportunity to check that the voice matches the one from phone conversations, she says.

Comments about Wolferman's Mix and Match 10-Bread Selection:
I have been ordering these for our top 25 agents for years. We always include two jars of jelly/jams with the order. Such a variety to choose from. Who doesn't eat breakfast at the office in the morning? The orders always arrive on time and the customer service is excellent! I highly recommend the 10 bread selection.
Comments about Wolferman's Mix and Match 10-Bread Selection:
With three sizes to choice from, you can custom make selections to fit the likes of the receiver. I have never had anyone say they did not like every item they received. Sure they will say "you shouldnt have, but glad you did." It gives them something to enjoy, or have on hand with those guests that drop by unannounced. And it is usually pretty easy to order when their site is working. now if they could figure out cheaper S&H for those who order early, it would be perfect for everyone.
Comments about Wolferman's Mix and Match 10-Bread Selection:
Must I say more? I highly, highly suggest you buy from this company. I started with the biggest basket, ( the best yet) but I'm British, soo off to the muffins I did go. SOO SOO over the top good. They freeze well, the delivery was fast and the packaging very good. They belong with the ' Harry And David" company, soo no wonder they are great! I buy from both. I'm ever soo picky, but when I see their specials, and see their website, I MUST BUY! GO FOR IT! Happy holidays. from Tena11

We were visiting relatives for the holidays and I wanted to do something special for a hostess/host gift so I had this gift pack sent to arrive in time for Christmas morning breakfast. The muffins were fresh and the packages were generous. I added on some spreads and relishes to round out the morning. It was well received as a gift and extremely appreciated by all of us around the breakfast table.

The snow we're getting is actually late compared to last year when our area had an October snow. Our Christian Farrell has more on what people think about this first sign of the winter season.
MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. -- "I don't like the winter time," said Middletown resident Sharonda Fisher.
No one could blame Fisher for not enjoying a cold, windy, snowy day Wednesday in the City of Middletown. The calendar has just turned to November. The leaves aren't even gone yet and there's already snow on the ground.
"It's crazy!" said Fisher.
And it's absolutely unbearable according to Marie Grosso.
"I hate the snow. I don't like being cold," said Grosso.
Snow and the unseasonable chilly weather aren't at all popular with many people still trying to recover from Superstorm Sandy. However, there are some like Eric Lopez who smile at the sight of a snowflake.
"I just can't wait for it to really fall," said Lopez.
Ad then there's Matthew Gerald.
"What do you make of this weather?" our reporter asked.
"'Tis the season," said Gerald.
Gerald's right. The holiday decorations do back him up. According to Gerald, November starts the "snowy months."
"From now until January, February," he said.
"Then come March?" our reporter asked.
"No more in March," said Gerald.
Having already lost an hour of daylight this week and now with the snow, you'd be hard pressed to tell anyone around here it's not already winter.

Mathis, Wayne headed back to Hawaii, Luck earns first awards snub
Every year, the NFL community deals with snubs when individual awards are announced. We often see a few players overlooked who have had a tremendous year and while there's not uproar, it does takes away from the validity of the award.
Well, folks, this year is no different for the Pro Bowl.
When the Pro Bowl, also known as the completely meaningless game that the players really don't care about, rosters were announced, there were a few glaring omissions and head-scratching inclusions.
The first? Jeff Saturday.
Saturday is one of the classiest and hardest working players in the league, but let's be honest: Saturday was just benched in favor of Evan Dietrich-Smith. Does that sound like a player who is worthy of a Pro Bowl spot?
It's quite evident that the Pro Bowl has more to do with a player's reputation, especially in fan voting, than their actual production over the season. Saturday is a guy who could not cut the mustard at his ripe age of 37, and was benched as a consequence.
Yet in classy Saturday fashion, he took the demotion like a champ and admitted that he had not been playing well. He called it "passing the torch," also known as the writing on the wall. You had a great run, Jeff.
The second snub is one of the most obvious, and that's the absence of Andrew Luck. When fan voting concluded, Luck was the third highest vote-getter among AFC quarterbacks. For once, the fans appeared to be getting it right.
But then when voting switched to the players and coaches, Luck somehow didn't make the cut and ultimately has become the first alternate in the event that Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Matt Schaub leads their team to the Super Bowl.
Of course, on the NFC side of the quarterback column, Robert Griffin III is sitting in the third spot ahead of the likes of Drew Brees and Russell Wilson. I have no problem with his inclusion, because he deserves it, but how does Luck get the snub?
Sure, Luck is a very popular quarterback, especially in Indianapolis, but his image does not carry the superstar weight that the man called RG3 does. RG3 is a brand's dream, and rightfully so. He's all about being an explosive playmaker, but also a player whose career may be cut short by such explosiveness.
Thankfully, 2011 question marks and iconic Colts Reggie Wayne and Robert Mathis were not overlooked this year. Wayne has been outstanding (sixth in yards, fifth in catches) after coming up short of 1,000 yards just a year ago, and Mathis has been the only real pass-rushing threat on the Colts (eight sacks).
Next on the awards list? MVP and all of those other regular season accolades.
Offensive Rookie of the Year is an award that Luck should easily win (seven game-winning drives, anyone), but I can see it now, and no, I'm not Nostradamus: RG3 wins!

Hey all, this is an idea I had in which weapons are given certain properties in order to differentiate them more with an eye towards realism, as always feedback is welcome.
This little variant is not yet completed obviously, prices and strength requirements are yet to be determined.
Melee weapons
Melee Base damage. This is the basic damage for all melee weapons and it depends on their size.
Light: 1d6/Min. Str. -1
Medium: 2d6/Min. Str. 1
Two-handed: 3d6/Min. Str. 3
Melee Properties
Axes - +2 damage
Bludgeons – piercing damage/(if the stunt that halves armor comes up, penetrating damage instead)
Blades – +1 attack, +1 defense
Polearms - +1 melee range, +1 defense/ no penalty for attacking someone that is mounted (he gets no bonus to defense)
Flails – ignore shields bonus to Defense
Ranged weapons
Bows, user adds Strength to damage, reload time: Minor action
Self Bow – 1d6
Longbow - 2d6 (cannot be used from horseback)
Composite bow could be an enhancement to the self bow and essentially reduce, or negate, the penalty for shooting from horseback.
Crossbows, +1 attack, deal piercing damage, reload time: Major action, (if the stunt that halves armor comes up, penetrating damage instead).
Light crossbow – 2d6
Heavy crossbow – 3d6
Repeating crossbow could be an enhancement that allows shooting up to 5 bolts without requiring a reload action, however when actually reloading the time needed is increased by two Major actions. This enhancement is only available to more technologically advanced nations/domains.

Elnora June Jensen
was born at home on
It wasn't an easy life, as she worked like a "hired hand" helping do chores on her Uncles' farm during the Great Depression. She proudly completed the ninth grade in a one room country school house. Going to high school was out of the question with it being 12 miles into town.
At age 20 Elnora
started work as a "hired girl" for the Westegaard Family. She earned
$2 a week doing cooking, cleaning, laundry and worked alongside Nels
Westegaard doing outside chores. On

sister, whose husband was absent due to work, promptly went into
labor and off to the hospital they went. Ruby delivered twins. From
there they traveled to
In 1939 Elnora and Nels moved to Weippe where he worked for Cardiff Lumber Co. and Schmidt Brothers Lumber Co. as a truck driver. Elnora was a homemaker and never lonely having Nels and her sister Ruby's family nearby who moved there in 1940.
In 1943 they moved
to Orofino where Nels started work for Riverside Lumber Company.
They bought a home on
Elnora and Nels never had any children of their own, so Elnora's nieces and nephews were very dear to them. The Lewis children of Orofino, Mark, Gail and Laura, were "some of the dearest little ones they've ever known". Elnora & Nels always had a warm smile and hug for them. Some of her fondest memories were when she created the fairy queen out of Johnny Jump-up flowers and Nels making penny whistles.
Elnora loved her flower garden especially the spring flowers. Pets also brought her much joy, especially her pet parakeet, Pepie. He would repeat everything she would say and was a constant companion.
Elnora and Nels enjoyed fishing together. Elnora was a champion fisher woman with countless record size steelhead fish and pictures in the paper.
Nels retired in
1970 where they bought a trailer and made several trips to the West
They lived happily
together until Nels passing on
Elnora kept up with her homemaking, gardening, flowers and enjoyable pursuits until health reasons kept her from it. She always had an open door and many a friend came by and she shared her life's adventures and stories. She loved to ramble on about her favorite memories. She was always looking forward, even until the day she passed on, to her greatest adventure and back to her husband and into the arms of the Lord. She was a bright star that has dimmed and will be greatly missed.
Elnora leaves behind many family and friends who will remember her dearly and cherish her treasured stories.

Rose Chase was arrested in December following a six-month investigation into the disappearance of her husband, Adam Chase.
The Ontario County Sheriff's Office claimed Rose Chase killed her husband by pushing him down a flight of stairs. She is also accused of dismembering his body, then transporting the remains to Yates County where she allegedly cremated them on her mother's property. Those remains were discovered in December.
"The charge is murder in the second degree and that's the top count in the indictment, where we're going with this. Then we have the other two charges that are included in this and we're seeking to go forward with the charges that we have," said Heather Hines, prosecutor.
The other charges include tampering with physical evidence and endangering the welfare of a child. The indictment alleges that Rose and Adam Chase's four-year-old son was in the vehicle with his mother as she transported Adam's remains and the boy was also in the vicinity as Chase's body was disposed.
Because of the seriousness of this crime, Hines requested that bail be set at a quarter million dollars. However, judge William Kocher set bail for Rose Chase at $100,000 cash."
Adam Chase was reported missing in June following an alleged argument with his wife. At the time, the Sheriff's Office treated his disappearance as a missing person case.
In December, authorities received new information and searched the Chase home along with a location in Yates County leading to Rose Chase's arrest.
"Whenever you're talking about the loss of the life of someone, that's an extremely sensitive issue that you're about, and we're looking at a case that we're looking for justice for the family of Adam Chase," Hines said. "We're looking to have a trial and have a jury hear the evidence and we're looking to make sure that justice is served in this case."
Rose Chase's attorney, Ontario County public defender Leanne Lapp, was not available for comment.
Chase remains in the Ontario County Jail and is back in court May 2nd.

Pacsafe RFIDtec Bifold Wallet 16 16
Great product WOW!!!! this wallet is the Best one that i have ever owned. It has plentry of room and than some , i was able to get all my wallet stuff in to it and still remain as thin as possible. The coin pouch is a must and the protection it provides is great.. October 15, 2014
a surprise hit! My husband really likes this wallet! A double surprise for both of us! He has said "travel wallets are a joke and waste of money because they can't hold more than 1 credit card, etc. He opened this up and couldn't believe the all the spaces for credit cards, business cards, driver's license--all the manly stuff a lot of guys collect. Everything fit into this wallet and it fits fine in his pants pocket. He's been using it ever since it arrived. The joke is that I had ordered a leather men's wallet from Macy's that finally showed up. He' sticking with this one! September 4, 2014
Ultimate Wallet Sort of like a man-purse in your hip pocket. Keeps my IDs and cards and cash organized and easily accessible. Large pockets make it easy to separate cards by function and easy to remove without taking every other card or cash out. Discovered this weekend that I can also slide my blackberry inside the folded wallet, the outside band keeping it all together. Outside zippered pocket is perfect for keeping the card, cash or coins i'll be using next handy so no need to open the wallet in a crowd and fumbling or showing the contents to those who may wish to do be wrong. I'm very satisfied. Good value for a very practical product. June 25, 2013
Best wallet on the planet The Pacsafe wallet is extremely well designed, holds a ton of material (credit cards, cash, etc.) with ease, and wears like iron. It is the best wallet money can buy. The RFID-blocking feature is just the icing on the cake. I would buy this wallet even if it didn't help prevent identity theft - but I'm really glad that it does. August 20, 2014
Looking all over for this product I became very concerned about identity theft and have been looking for an RFID wallet for my husband who is not concerned with identity theft. We are pleased with this product. Especially nice is this wallet is made of a soft fabric which my husband states is comfortable in his back pocket rather than the hard, unbending leather wallet he gave up. He likes the elastic strap that keeps the contents in place and the zippered bill compartment that separates his large from small bills. We are happy with this purchase. The price was right, also.

Best Wallet I had one of these for many years...then, when in the metro in Rome this summer, I had my pocket picked ...never felt a thing...they unsnapped and unzipped my Baggalini (which was strapped across my body) and snatched the wallet from the inside....I love that wallet. It holds everything... August 15, 2014

Bifold Wallet Great wallet. Held all my important cards and currency. Did not have to worry about credit card info being lost and wallet is light weight. April 14, 2014
