Survivors of Ragnarök is a city-building-management-survival game inspired by Dwarf Fortress. Manage, create, and survive through dynamic and deadly worlds. Losing is a fundamental core aspect of design.

A waste of money, this project has long been stuck in its current state with no effort on the developers to improve it or even update the buyers. Keep away from it as your money is better spent elsewhere.

Nothing but empty promises. This has been in production for about 2 years and have and is still not even close to any of the promise core features promised such as city building or the even the survival aspect which doesn't even work in its current form, which is virtually bare bones. The game used to function which at least credit I used to give to the developers for their virtually no existant game, but now it just randomly crashes for no reason at all. In theory up dates can fix the crashes but developers, like their game, might as well be ghosts as they often disapear for 5 months to only return to bring some asthetic updates such as different kinds of game modes(which are non existant) rather than to fix glitches and try to bring their original premise to life.
Alpha funding if for developers who are trying to breaking into the gaming industry not for people who seeks funding just for their hobby. And before anyone even mentions Dwarf fortress keep in mind that game is for free and Toady completely lives off of donations so he can create a wonderful experience(which he release public info to let us know what he's doing) without being impeded by work. These guys can't even spare a monthly status report to let use know what they are doing and why is it taking so long to bring in SIGNIFICANT UPDATES.If Desura has any integrity, they should stop selling this game as if it is still in production or sell it for free at this point because it quite clear the developers aren't taking this seriously anymore.
Seriously people, just buy and play Dwarf fortress, gnomoria, or wait for Stonehearth.they are Much deeper in gameplay and made by people who actually care about their game.
TL:DR: Game is non-existant, Developer is non existant, Desura should take this down, play Dwarf Fortress, profit.

Alpha has been left broken for months and the devs are still allowing it to be sold.

After about two and a half years I came back today to see if there has been progress and yes there has been. But very much to my disappointment it seems it consists only out of interface changes
During this time I started up this game, well, about 20 times tops. And every time I'm turned off by bugs slapping me in the face in the first minute into the game.
* My dwarfs are walking or climbing on thin air
* .. stuck in infinite movement loops
* creeps are stuck inside the earth
* .. are attacking my dwarfs and they don't defend themselves
There is even no way to review it fully due to these game breaking bugs!!
If I hadn't seen a VERY similar game on greenlight just now, I would have completly forgotten about this one. (It's called Craft the World)
Apr 3rd, 2013 1 person agrees 0 people don't
1.) No transparency on what edition you get (cheaper editions contain unplayable earlier versions).
2.) No development or status updates from the developers.
3.) No Updates for a long time.
4.) Not clearly visible that developers obviously have no time to develop the game any further.
5.) Promises of more feedback and communication are constantly made by developers but I have not seen one of the promises (more feedback and communication) kept. The only posts from devs are promises about more feedback.
Dec 11th, 2012 1 person agrees 0 people don't
so I tried the Demo (the first time many months ago - I couldn't even get it to run).
It looks interesting, looks like it might be a good bit of fun, and replayable, and worthy of a much higher rating.
However, the interface is a bit clumsy and not very intuitive. It's not entirely clear how you should use some of the in-game tools. Your workers sometimes freeze up, for the duration. It's buggy as all get out, crashing without error messages. And finally, if you are thinking of building up something, be prepared to play the demo many times to get the hang of it so you can work fast.
How it gets higher than a 5 much less someone to actually spend money on it in it's current state is beyond me.
HOWEVER... it IS worth keeping an eye on. Maybe things will get better, and it will be worth the amount they are asking.
Sep 22nd, 2012 1 person agrees 0 people don't
I was impressed when I read the info on this game, it looks like it could be a good game... However the devs are retards and do not work on problematic areas they are just trying to add a bunch of stupid content before fixing the old garbage. So I am giving this game a 1/10 becuase of bad customer support and I hope one day they fixd the crashing at startup screen issue before they do finally release this piece of crap..
Sep 14th, 2011 1 person agrees 0 people don't
This has potential. As it moves along I will re-score it accordingly
Jan 18th, 2014 0 people agree 0 people don't
I purchased this game back in late 2011, early 2012, when it was one of Desura's first Alphafunding games. The development was slowly rolling along, and I figured it'd be an interesting purchase, and would be loads of fun when it would be finished. There looked to be some seriously awesome updates on their way.
Boy was I mistaken.
Survivors of Ragnarok is a simple tech demo, one that could be turned out in another engine in a matter of weeks. It's horribly unoptiomized (giving abysmal frame rates even on a brand new gaming computer,) and has little to no actual gameplay. Many of the ingame resource and crafting systems are "under development" (and I use those words *VERY* loosely.) The last few updates given have been nothing at all, except for hollow promises of further development, and pitiful excuses. Nothing has actually been added to the game in nearly a year.
Still, I try to sit here and hope for.... something, I suppose. If you really want to play a game like this, I recommend you take your money elsewhere; there's no need to incinerate it here. Perhaps donate it to the guy developing Dwarf Fortress, or pick yourself up a copy of Starbound. You'll only be doing your wallet (and patience,) a favour.

its a great game but has a lot of frusterating bugs and glites

Blake Griffin tweaked an ankle injury Thursday that he originally suffered in the Clippers' loss to the Golden State Warriors, according to the Los Angeles Clippers. BG on L ankle: "I really injured it 3 days ago against [GSW]. It got better but I kind of re-tweaked it. It's not terrible." Update tomorrow — Los Angeles Clippers (@LAClippers) January 25, 2013 That didn't stop Griffin from posterizing the entire Suns roster. Griffin still had a quiet 37 minutes of play: 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks. Losing Griffin would sting with Chris Paul already out indefinitely with a kneecap injury.

2014 NYC Civic Corps Members at NYCHA
Since 2009, NYCHA has partnered with the NYC Civic Corps, an AmeriCorps program run by NYC Service, to bring a diverse group of professionals to support the Resident Green Committee (RGC) Initiative. The Civic Corps members commit to 10 months of full-time service, providing technical assistance to the RGCs across the City and engaging residents in NYCHA's environmental sustainability initiatives. Learn more about the 2012-13 Civic Corps class at NYCHA below.
Maegan Blansett
Maegan Blansett is a recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, who grew up in Idaho and moved to New York to join the Civic Corps this summer. After her year of service, she hopes to attend graduate school and become an environmental educator, because she believes that spreading knowledge about environmental issues to the community members they affect is a critical first step in confronting them. She is excited to be serving with NYCHA residents to increase involvement in green initiatives and inspire positive changes in a setting where such priorities are too often overlooked.
Jeanne Thelwell
Jeanne Thelwell comes to the Civic Corps after an almost 40 year career as a lawyer and a teacher. She is a graduate of Northwestern University, Yale Law School and Pace University School of Education. Raised in Manhattan, and now a resident of Brooklyn, Jeanne is passionate about environmental justice, and particularly food justice. She hopes to be able to use her skills as an attorney and educator to build and strengthen Resident Green Committees, that will empower NYCHA residents to exert greater control over their environment.

The Associated Press and an NBA referee have reached a settlement in a lawsuit against the news agency and one of its sports writers over a Twitter message suggesting the referee intentionally made a bad call to make up for another one that went against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Referee William Spooner agreed to drop the suit, filed last March in Minneapolis, pending removal of the Jan. 24 tweet from Jon Krawczynski's Twitter account and a payment of $20,000 for Spooner's litigation costs. The tweet was sent while Krawczynski was covering the Houston Rockets-Timberwolves game. He heard an exchange between Spooner and Timberwolves coach Kurt Rambis during the second period. Sitting courtside, Krawczynski tweeted: ''Ref Bill Spooner told Rambis he'd `get it back' after a bad call. Then he made an even worse call on Rockets. That's NBA officiating folks.'' The settlement also required a mutually agreed upon statement to be released. It explains the decision on the settlement and r...

Jesse Pepe (Sean)
On stripping down for a scene: "It's definitely a strange feeling seeing your junk on film. It was a judgment call for me going into the project, but I didn't feel all that uncomfortable about it. It still wasn't as weird as I thought when watching the second episode, which was nice."
On his favorite moment in the series: "Definitely watching Suzanne Whang shoot her 'Bad Audition' scene in the first episode. She is so damn funny. She had every member of the cast and crew dying."

Fight obesity? Add sales tax to soda tab
But the beverage industry will no doubt fight a legislative proposal like that, Brownell and others said. PepsiCo threatened to move its corporate headquarters out of New York before that state dropped efforts to implement an 18-percent sales tax on sweetened beverages, they noted.
The American Beverage Association disputed that the soda tax would reduce obesity rates.
"We agree that obesity is a serious public health issue, but the solution put forth by these researchers simply won't work," the trade group said in a statement. "Reducing obesity will only be addressed through comprehensive solutions."
Thompson, the Arkansas surgeon general, said one reason soda taxes fail is that consumers don't view sugared beverages as an important source of their weight problems.
"That's a new concept" that may take a while to gain wide acceptance, he said.
Brownell said it is more likely that soda taxes would be adopted first by states, than by the federal government.
"That's what happened with tobacco. The states were on it long before there was federal action," he said.

The LaserLyte® Rear Sight Laser for GLOCK® One Laser – All GLOCKS
LaserLyte® returns to basics with the patented RTB-GL rear sight laser that fits all GLOCK® firearms. The high performance laser built into a rear sight specifically designed for all GLOCK® pistols features a simple, ambidextrous "press and go" activation. The laser is easily programmable to either constant on or pulse mode. Another great feature is the "auto-off" feature that displays a unique flash after 5-minutes of operation and automatically turns the unit off after 6-minutes.
Made from heavy-duty, high carbon steel for added durability, the LaserLyte® RTB-GL rear sight laser has a black chrome finish for corrosion prevention. A great benefit of the LaserLyte® RTB-GL rear sight laser, besides the single-laser-fits-all-GLOCKS, is that the customer will not have to replace grips, internal stock parts or holsters. The LaserLyte RTB-GL rear sight laser is compatible with all Level 1 and Level 2 holsters including the BLACKHAWK!® SERPA® holster system.

The company's 2011 guidance is based on certain assumptions including:
Selected Operating HighlightsOpana® ER Complete ResponseOn June 23, 2011, Endo Pharmaceuticals announced that it received notification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that Endo's complete response to the FDA's Jan. 7, 2011 Action Letter relating to Endo's new drug application (NDA) for a new formulation of Opana ER has been accepted. The new formulation was developed in partnership with Grunenthal GmbH and is designed to provide some resistance to certain types of product manipulation.

Completion of Acquisition of American Medical SystemsOn June 17, 2011, Endo Pharmaceuticals acquired American Medical Systems, Inc. (AMS), for approximately $2.9 billion.

Hello everyone. This is my first photo report as well as the first time using my new camera I got. Its nothing great, but it does a lot better work that my old camera. Id thought Id share a few photos with everyone from my trips to the resort on the 9th and 11th. Ive included a variety of pictures testing out my camera as well as a few Fantasmic photos. Frogbertos natural lighting ability is still quite overwhelming, but I tried to do a bit of my own. Most of my time at the parks was spent in the evening. Enjoy!
I took quite a few of the Tiki Room after learning what the best night mode settings would be.
I really enjoy this shot.
Later than night, walking to Mansion, I got this picture of Royal Street that turned out a bit like a black and white style.
It even made the mansion look a bit different and moody.
Tom Sawyers info about closure, quoting Mark Twain as proof for Piracy.
And an peaceful evening over the Rivers of America
The second day into the park was for a little bit of DCA and a final performance of Fantasmic for a few months. Monsters Inc. started off the evening.
My first time seeing the Aladin show and I loved it.
Im trying to figure out why the third floor was empty
And my other question is how long theyve had scaffolding across the water from Big Thunder. I know they had the tarp up for a while, but this looks a bit different than I remember.
Frogbertos still got everyone beat on the natural lighting of pirates, but heres a few of my better attempts.
An interesting night shot of Big Thunder.
At last, its time for Fantasmic!
I wonder if they were waving extra hard?
And a delicious box of treats that still shows Ursula as a larger part of the show with her long gone float.
That wraps it up for now. I hope my first report was enjoyable for you all. I also hope Photobucket can handle this.

Summary: Few of us have a confident understanding of probabilities and statistics. I'd say most of us relate to a scene from Dumb and Dumber:
Loyd Christmas: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me… ending up together?
Mary Swanson: Well, Lloyd, that's difficult to say. I mean, we don't really…
Lloyd Christmas: Hit me with it! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances?
Mary Swanson: Not good.
Lloyd Christmas: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
Mary Swanson: I'd say more like one out of a million.
Lloyd Christmas: So you're telling me there's a chance… YEAH!
And the reason we relate is because at some point it becomes meaningless to us. We play the lottery and we see commercials for wonder drugs. It all seems great, even if we don't understand why.
Would I say this book is for everyone, no. It doesn't rule anyone out, but it can be dry. The reader must want to improve their grasp of probabilities and uncertainty, to improve their innumeracy. This book provides a mental tool to help – natural frequencies.
Detail Review: Before I get to the contents of Gerd Gigerenzer's book, I'd like to comment on the tangible book. It has many small numbers creating a grey pallet. The name of the book is reflected so two versions of it are represented on the cover. There's also a symbol which appears to be a sigma, but I'm not sure. Together it makes for a busy visual. Within the book the font is of average size and there are helpful visuals sprinkled throughout. The result is 246 pages you can get through without feeling overcome by it.
The introduction sections of the book layout the ideas with the middle going into real world examples to explain them. The last few sections provide some funny and light hearted content.
Early on he sets the stage. I like the definitions, the philosophy, and the varying views of risk people have. Here are some examples:
The definition of innumeracy in general is the inability to do basic math, but this book is focused on the inability to understand statistical relevance. Gigerenzer breaks it into four types: illusion of certainty, ignorance of risk, miscommunication of risk, and clouded thinking. The excerpt from Dumb and Dumber was an example of clouded thinking since Lloyd understood the sheer magnitude of the chances Mary was giving him but didn't know how to draw proper inferences from it.
The author also defines different views of risk. He describes three types – degrees of belief, propensities, and frequencies. Degrees of belief are similar to what a doctor would assign the chances of survival are to a patient who is undergoing a new surgical procedure. Propensities are more about the properties of an object like a die. The traditional die has six sides and given a uniform weighting and edge will result in a distribution of 1 in 6. The design dictates the likeliness. Six Sigma design and quality programs stress this sort of risk.
The last is Frequencies and it's the focus of the book. Frequencies take actual events, defines a reference class, and observes what happens. Roll the die a thousand times and see how many sixes resulted. Frequencies are both powerful and flawed. They are powerful because they take design to the next level, the system. With frequencies you can draw conclusions with complex situations. The downside is the event has to happen… well frequently.
With frequencies the book then goes on to explain relative risks and conditional probabilities. The writings use health care as the back drop. Here's an excerpt for Relative Risk:
What is the benefit of a cholesterol-lowering drug on the risk of coronary heart disease? In 1995, the results of the West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study were presented in a press release "People with high cholesterol can rapidly reduce… their risk of death by 22 per cent by taking a widely prescribed drug called Pravastatin sodium. This is the conclusion of a landmark study presented today at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association." The benefit of this cholesterol-reducing drug, just like that most medical treatment, was reported by the press in the form of a relative risk reduction. What does "22 percent" mean? Studies indicate that a majority of people think that out of 1,000 people with high cholesterol, 220 of these people can be prevented from becoming heart attack victims. This, however, is not true… Out of 1,000 people who took Pravastatin over a period of 5 years, 32 died, whereas of 1,000 people who did not take Pravastatin but rather a placebo, 41 died. The following three presentations of the raw result – a total mortality reduction from 41 to 32 in every 1,000 people – are all correct, but they suggest different amounts of benefit and can evoke different emotional reactions in ordinary citizens.
Three Ways to Present the Benefit
Absolute risk reduction: The absolute risk reduction is the proportion of patients who die without treatment (placebo) minus those who die with treatment. Pravastatin reduces the number of people who die from 41 to 32 in 1,000. That is, the absolute risk reduction is 9 in 1,000, which is 0.9 percent.
Relative risk reduction: The relative risk reduction is the absolute risk reduction divided by the proportion of patients who die without treatment. For the present data, the relative risk reduction is 9 divided by 41, which is 22 percent. Thus, Pravastatin reduces the risk of dying by 22 percent.
Number needed to treat: The number of people who must participate in the treatment to save one life is the number needed to treat (NNT). This number can be easily derived from the absolute risk reduction. The number of people who needed to be treated to save one life is 111, because 9 in 1,000 deaths (which is about 1 in 111) are prevented by the drug.
Another situation described in the book is mammography screening for breast cancer. Several randomized trials of women 40 and older were conducted in Sweden. What the trial found was screening resulted in reducing the risk of dying from breast cancer by 25%. That's a huge number and one that can change health behaviors. However, this number is the relative risk reduction. What the study found was out of 1,000 women, 4 would die without screening. With screening, 3 die. That's an absolute risk reduction of 0.1%(1 out of 1,000) and a relative risk reduction of 25% (1 out of 4). Another way to think of these results is out of every 1,000 women who did not get regular mammography screening, 4 die of breast cancer. For 1,000 women who did get regular mammography screening, 3 die of breast cancer. If you're one of the four, this is a big deal. If you're one of the 996 then the screening made no discernible difference (may have actually led to false positives, pain, discomfort, or anxiety). Alternatively, for women between the ages of 50 and 69 who participate in breast cancer screening will average an increase in their life expectancy by 12 days.
For those who remember the OJ Simpson case, you'll recall the name Alan Dershowitz. He was one of Simpson's lead attorneys. After the case was over he penned a book describing how they strategized the defense. One aspect involved domestic violence. He used figures from the FBI crime reports for 1992 and found a ratio of 1 out of 2,500 battered women are killed annually by a husband or boyfriend. OJ had previously hit Nicole Brown Simpson, the murder victim. The defense used these figures to argue that men who beat their domestic partners rarely go on to murder them.
But these numbers aren't quite right. Dershowitz is arguing what the chances are someone murders their spouse after they have beaten them – about 1 in 2,500. A low likelihood. But the question should be spun around and stated: what is the probability of a man murdering his domestic partner given that he battered her and that she was murdered. The part about Nicole Brown Simpson being murdered is relevant. Here's the frequency tree illustrating it (for round numbers 1 in 2,500 equates to 40 out of 100,000):
The book ends with fun accounts of how statistics can be used for game shows or brain teasers. I enjoyed them. Here's an excerpt of one I got a chuckle out of:
In the late 70s, the Mexican government faced the problem of how to increase the capacity of the Viaducto, a four-lane motorway. Rather than building a new highway or extending the existing one, the government implemented a clever, inexpensive solution: It had the lines on the four-lane highway repainted to make it six-lanes wide. Increasing the number of lanes from four to six meant a 50 percent increase in capacity. Unfortunately, the much narrower lanes also resulted in an increase in traffic fatalities, which, after a year forced the government to turn the highway back into a four-lane road. Reducing the number of lanes from six to four meant a 33 percent decrease in capacity. In an effort at touting its progress in improving the country's infrastructure, the government subtracted the decrease from the increase and reported that its action had increased the capacity of the road by 17 percent. In reality, of course the capacity returned to what it had been, resulting in no net benefits. The net costs were the price of the paint and increase in traffic fatalities.

Product description
The Hellenistic world, ushered into existance by Alexander the Great, took in a vast region, stretching from Iraq in the east to Sicily in the west. Within this area, society was multicultural but the dominant culture was Greek, developed from the culture of classical Greece, and carrying on the legacy of classical Greece in the visual arts, literature, science, technology, and daily life. Narrative chapters guide the reader though the vast conquered lands of Hellenistic Greece, exploring marriage customs; festivals, sports, and spectacles; symposia (drinking parties); the agricultural and urban components of the polis (city-state); food; drink; education; science; technology; and the legacy of the Hellenistic age in the modern world.

Review quote
"For high school and college students who must research daily life during the Hellenistic Age, this will be a very useful resource. Thus, it should be purchased by most high school, college, university, and larger public libraries. Since this period is also of great interest to students of Christianity and Judaism, it will also be a good acquisition for seminary libraries." - ARBA

Stevens:We are not currently in any
business partnerships, nor are any
planned in the near future. We do
offer fermentation services and product
homogenization to our local colleagues
for a very reasonable rate. As
our laboratory expands and our personnel
increase, we hope to make
these services available to laboratories
outside our university.
BioPharm: As you believe the future of structural biology lies in the hard-toisolate complex protein assemblies, do you feel that youre at the beginning of a trend in returning to the use of largescale fermentors?
Stevens: It may very well be some years down the road, and certainly each large macromolecular complex will present its own technical challenges, but I think that there will be a number of structural biologists and collaborators who will choose to go this route. Roger Kornberg at Stanford University reported that crystallization of the RNA polymerase II complex from yeast required 10,000 liters of fermentation to produce the required amount of protein complex. Clearly the payoff was huge. I can see that this will be required in many other cases and that large-scale cultures will be the only way to address interesting biological problems. Investigators who employ brute-force approaches will be the ones who solve large, interesting structures.

I hope my AMD 3100 can handle this oh and by the way make sure this is historically accurate and no magic k? I'm dying for a caveman game that's historically accurate oh and also do you have any possible release dates?
Stone Rage™ is a Free-To-Play online third person multiplayer action game set within the Pleistocene and Eocene eras, featuring prehistoric tribalism, prehistoric landscapes and prehistoric animals. Players will take control of a single character of either a human class, neanderthal tribe or animal genus and wreak havoc in a survival-based game mode. As players win games and progress through achievements, options in weapon layout, upgrades and personalized character customization will be unlock, giving a large array of choices to those who do not wish to completely conform to a single archetype.
Every character has a set of unique traits and abilities, as well as unlockables to modify their effects and tactical usage, ensuring that no two games will play the same, and no one player is by default more or less dangerous than another. Situation and opportunity play as much a part in winning a game as how well players use their character skills and environment to their advantage. Since tribal skirmishes and hunts take place across a wide stretch of land, players will encounter sprawling forests with prowling smilodon, vast plains with marching mammoth herds and gastornis scavenging the remains left behind by the prey of dire wolves.
Please do note that, for the time being, all current in-game screenshots and videos were taken in CryEngine. We will be replacing as soon as we have exported our assets into UE4.

Greetings to all of our distant stone age ancestors and to all current day cro magnons. We have a big announcement to make. So big in fact, that it is going to completely overhaul the production of Stone Rage. We want to make our ancestors proud by putting out the best stone age based game possible, and we believe that we can now truly accomplish this noble goal with the support of the spectacular Unreal Engine 4. We have been using CryEngine for some time now, and, unfortunately, we found that we simply could not continue using it; there were far too many major issues. We were unable to learn CryEngine's new animation system (Mannequin) due to a lacking of documentation, and the engine was not programmer friendly enough, causing massive delays in our production. It is because of this that we are more than excited to be switching to an engine that will truly bring out the full potential of Stone Rage. We have an amazing lineup with some incredible programmers, artists, animators, etc.. and we want to make sure that they have just the right engine to ensure that all of their talents are put to use in a functional, and simple manner with as few hangups as possible. Unreal Engine 4 is an amazing piece of programming that is sure to make Stone Rage an amazing piece of playable art. Have a good day, and stay tuned for Stone Rage news!

House and Senate members are expected to meet in conference committee, possibly on Tuesday, to discuss a bill that would require more transparency and accountability from special districts.
House Bill 1, championed by state Auditor Adam Edelen, would create an online system for such districts to report their financial records. It also would create some penalties for districts that do not comply with the filings, including possible audits.
Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, agrees with the original bill seeking more ...

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Turn an old coffee container or oatmeal container into a lovely daisy container from Beacon Adhesives. This is great for holding anything you wish like kitchen utensils, gardening materials or even snack treats.
- 9" X 5" round, clean & dry container (an old coffee or oatmeal container works great.)
- 8" X 17 1⁄2 piece of plant print paper
- 1 1⁄2" X 17 1⁄2" polka dot paper to coordinate with plant print.
- 4 1⁄2" circle of polka dot paper
- 35" of coordinating decorative ribbon
- Seven 7/8" white buttons
- 4 1⁄2" silk daisies
- Soft bristle craft brush, 1" wide, scissors, paper trimmer
- Working in small sections, brush LIQUID LAMINATE over a portion of the container and immediately place paper over wet surface from the container base up to the top, smoothing with your fingers as you go. Continue until the entire container is covered.
- Brush a topcoat of LIQUID LAMINATE over the entire container and let thoroughly dry. For a glossier finish, brush another coat of LIQUID LAMINATE over the first.
- Cover the lid in a similar way.
- LIQUID LAMINATE as above the 1 ½" wide piece of polka dot paper around the canister, slightly overlapping, and then coat over top with additional LIQUID LAMINATE.
- LIQUID LAMINATE polka dot circle to the center of the lid, following above instructions. Dry well.
- Glue ribbon with GEM-TAC around the base of the canister over the print, covering area where polka dot paper meets the print paper. Use GEM-TAC to glue the buttons on top of the upper ribbon as in photo and then glue silk flowers to the center of the lid.

My first thought was to use mod podge instead of liquid laminate. I have used mod podge in the past on many different types of surfaces (cardboard keepsake box) and it worked great. I also thought of putting to use the many plastic coffee cup to use and giving as gifts to my coffee dringing friends. mary

I love this beaker. I don't think I realized just how many different measurements were on the beaker until I received it. I love that it has a cover. Very nifty little item.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?
What a shape!
This is a great little measuring device and the main complaint I've heard in the other reviews is the it's made of plastic and not glass. The main benefit of using glass would be because oil doesn't stick to it and require some considerable elbow grease to get clean. But the shape of this beaker allows to you to clean it more easily than any other plastic container (mostly Tupperware) I have in my kitchen. There's not a whole bunch of nooks and crannies for grease to hide in like those Ziploc/Glad-ware lids. The lid is also a great feature because you can measure out you multiple ingredients for you baking recipe then pop the lid on, give it a good shake (keep one hand on the lid) and then add to your dry ingredients. This avoids a pancake dough where the vanilla nicely slips off the top of the liquids first and is promptly soaked up in a little ball of flour, securely locking away any of it's potential to flavor the batter. I love this little beaker and would recommend it to anyone.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?

I give these at Xmas or other times just to business or friends. I had one of the Vets to tell me her kids just love it cause they can see though it a year after I had given it to her. I like yours because of the small bottom and lid on it. My husband bought one when bread machines first came out. I kept one of yours for my self several years ago. I will be talking to somebody on the phone or in person and we get in a conversation and I ask if they have one and tell them you have the best one. The funny thing is I don't really know these people first time I ever talked to them or met them. I have 3 from different places and yours is my Favorite.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?

CEZANNE:father of all modern art
Part 1:
More than 6 years ago, on Sunday 16 March 2008,(1) I watched a television program about the French artist Paul Cezanne(1839-1906). From Cezanne's early forties until his death at age 66 what some call "this father of all modern art" worked more and more in isolation and in privacy, a virtual recluse. This was the central aspect, among many, of Cezanne's life that interested me since that tendency toward increasing artistic isolation, drawing on the familiar in my work, doggedly struggling to deal with complexity, the need for a place to be by myself came to characterize my life as my fifties advanced and turned, year by year, into my sixties. After more than forty years(1954-1994) of a high sociability quotient, working alone became more and more paramount in my daily life.–Ron Price with thanks to (1) ABC TV, 16/3/'08: 4:00-5:00 p.m.
Part 2:
I, too, needed, that attention,
that concentration, exploration,
to capture the truth of perception,
understanding, imagination's design,
belief, desire, the familiar, complexity.
I, too, was a recluse of sorts with my own
isolation and aloneness, although a social
religion kept me in touch with an immense
artificial world of sociability, of a necessary
and essential reservedness, stylization, talk,
democracy, for the sake of talking with its
own laws, a changing of subjects, some play
of relations, joining and loosening, winning
and succumbing, giving and taking, means
to liveliness, a solemn consciousness and
harmony where everyone can play the game
and the giver becomes invisible behind some
kind of play-form, some collective, some airy
realm where life emerges in the flux of the
facile and happy, producers lose themselves.
They get lost in their products, where a certain
tragic vision encompasses the weak & the strong
& feeds on a deep, loyal relation to aesthetic charms
which embody the finest and subtlest dynamics
of broad and rich social existence, not negative
conventionalism merely, but a type of liberation
and relief where the latent forces of reality
reverberate dimly and their gravity evaporates,
or so one would hope, into a mere attractiveness.
Ron Price

Part 3:
In its essence being cultured and attaining the first element of perfection lies in "learning and the cultural attainments of the mind." One's purely personal dispositions and one's mental life attain their full idiom and personality as one's circle increases, at least in some sense. The possibility of fully developing one's inner life and personality lies in this social direction. However, isolation is not a strictly individual condition. It in no way implies the absence of society. Isolation and aloneness attain a very real and positive significance as an effect of society at a distance. Isolation is, indeed, a form of interaction. It is characterized by distance between the individual and society, an imagined society, an abstract one or a real one.
The first condition of having to deal with somebody at all is to know with whom one has to deal. Knowledge of another person is reciprocal, but generally not equal on both sides. One can, however, never know another person absolutely since this would amount to an infinite, an endless sharing, a duplication and repetition, of experiences. We form a sense of unity with others, any other person, from those fragments through which another is accessible to us. The unity that may develop, depends among other things, upon what that other person permits us to see about their inner and outer life. Psychological knowledge of a person is not some stereotype of that person but depends, like knowledge of all external nature, upon the forms, the details, the information, which the person gives and which they receive in turn.
Part 4:
The giving of a gift, say in these email posts at this site, must not be considered isolation. It is not a one way act, but it possesses a relation to the total personalities of the two parties. Gratitude consists not only in the return of the gift, but in the consciousness that this gift in some ways cannot be returned. There is something, Simmel states, which places the receiver in a permanent position with respect to the giver. The first gift, given in spontaneity, has a voluntary character which no return gift can have. That first gift has a freedom without any duty attached to it. A gift once accepted, engenders an inner, a mysterious, relation which can never be eliminated completely. This is because gratitude is a feeling which results and is rendered by the recipient.

Can I call you grandpa? GP-Rice read ok?
[Tis probably not the best time for me to be reading these types of things, and I sure hope you're not a troll. bahahahah ]
Thank you for sharing this ball of energy.
However, I've kinda really simplified it in my head to this.
It's the loud noise that would drive me to solitude when I'm touching 60.
Not because of all the wonderful experience life would have given me, but it's just too damn loud.
I've loved this quote from Isamu Noguchi
"Imperfection makes perfection"
As long as the heart still gives to the life around them, that would be beautiful, or Awesome, same diff.

Belated thanks, vardoburrito
Belated thanks, vardoburrito---after more than 5 years. I am a grandpa and have no problems being referred to as such by non-family members. Just to add a note on Cezanne......there is a madness in the creative side. It is something commented upon by writers and poets down the ages. There are so many quotations in the literature on this theme. Ill drop one here from the writer, Maurice Blanchot, his comment on the artist Paul Cezanne: Cezanne was tortured and stimulated in immeasurable bliss.(The Sirens Song, Harvester Press, 1972)
In 186667, inspired by the example of Courbet, Cézanne painted a series of paintings with apalette knife. He later called these works, mostly portraits, une couillarde ("a coarse word for ostentatious virility").[28] Lawrence Gowing has written that Cézanne's palette knife phase "was not only the invention of modern expressionism, although it was incidentally that; the idea of art as emotional ejaculation made its first appearance at this moment". I find writing is somewhat of "an emotional ejaculation."-Ron

I understood non-sliding pieces quite easily but I've been having some trouble with the sliding pieces.
I currently have 64 bitboards (1 for each square, not saved in a array as well as 8 bitboards for masked rows, 8 bitboards for cleared rows, 8 bitboards for masked columns, and 8 bitboards for cleared columns, as well as, of course, a bitboard for each type of piece.
In generating legal moves for the bishop and rook I hear you are suppose to get the first occupied square on the column/row.
My questions are:
- how do you know where the rook is to and it together with the appropriate mask.
- how exactly do you get the first occupied square in the diagonal as well for the Bishop.
- if you know of any other common bitboards which will help me in my tasks at a latter point, please let me know of them.
Currently I have it going with no branches and would like to keep the amount of branches I use down but I feel some will be needed here and am curious about the most efficient way to go about solving this problem.

Atlanta Rolling Mill
The Atlanta Rolling Mill (later the Confederate Rolling Mill) was constructed in 1858 by Lewis Schofield and James Blake and soon after, Schofield and William Markham took it over and transformed it into the South's second most productive rolling mill, after the Tredegar Iron Works in Richmond, Virginia.[1]
Their specialty was re-rolling worn out railroad rails but during the American Civil War it also rolled out cannon, iron rail, and 2-inch-thick (51 mm) sheets of iron to clad the CSS Virginia for the Confederate navy.[1]
It was bought out by Charleston, SC interests in 1863 and became known as the Confederate Rolling Mill when it produced the former products as well as cannon.[1]
On the night of September 1st, 1864, the mill was destroyed in a series of explosions of ammunition trains parked nearby, set off by cavalry under Confederate General J.B. Hood in a successful effort to deny the war materials' capture by the advancing Union Army under General Sherman.[2]
Part of what is now Boulevard was named Rolling Mill Street, when the street was extended north of the railroad in the late 1860s, thus commemorating the already destroyed mill. The name was changed to Boulevard around 1880.[1]
It was located on the current site of the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mill (now residential lofts) in Cabbagetown on the south side of the Georgia Railroad just east of Oakland Cemetery.[1]
