Valor (iPhone App) Guide & Walkthrough
Welcome to My Valor Guide. Valor is a strategy based game, developed by Play Mesh, for the iPhone. In this game, you must construct a kingdom and expand your empire by dominating other players. Here is a guide to leveling up and being a certified B.A.M.F.
Quests are the key to success in this game and guide a new player very nicely. They will give you tasks to perform that will increase your kingdom size and strength. After completing each task, you must remember to claim the prize. Prizes are generally items like clay and wood that will be used to upgrade buildings. You may also receive troops from time to time. A green arrow will appear on the quest list when the prize is able to be claimed. Remember to not claim prizes if you do not have enough capacity to hold it.
Battling is another way to gain strength in this game. You can attack fellow players and raid their resources to bring back to your kingdom. The best way to ensure victory is to join a guild. You can then coordinate attacks with fellow team mates. One will initiate the attack and others will send support troops to help. It is best to gang up on members without a guild so you will not accidentally start a war. Likewise for you, being part of a guild will help you to not be attacked by guild members constantly.
The only other tip I can offer you is to play daily! Logging in consistently is required for this game in the beginning but slows down as you progress. This is due to upgrades taking longer and using more resources as the levels increase. You must make sure that you log in every day to get your bonus. You will be awarded an Amulet. The amulet can be used to play the Wheel of Fortune, which allows you an opportunity to win great prizes.

Usually in Browser Strategy games (such as KingsAge, Evony, etc) I would agree with "Quests are the key to success in this game"
However, the Quest rewards in the browser based versions of Valor are far greater than spending a few thousand resources to gain 100, 250, 500 (etc) of each. That isn't to say you shouldn't do your quests, just that you shouldn't rely on them as you would in Browser based Strategy Games.
My suggestion is to build up a small army of 100 Lancers asap.
This will allow you to farm the Barbarian Cities and inactive players nearest to you. Farming with your army is the fastest way to gain resources. Once you've researched and trained a few Knights, you can retire your Lancers and farm villages with your horsies.
As far as I can tell at the moment, the best way to gain points is to upgrade your City Hall. Troops do not reward points. Points are given based on the type of building and the current level of that building. The City Hall, Barracks, Stable and Resources typically reward the most points.
City Hall upgrades are also a good because they lower all build times, allowing you to quickly upgrade the buildings that you NEED (warehouse, farm, resources, wall, etc) that wouldn't warrant AS MANY points.
Lastly, I'd like to add that while I'm not a gold farmer in MMOs, I do think we should give support to P2P games that deserve it. Valor is a very well designed app, and I've been searching for a game just like it for a very long time. There are apps similar to it, but none that capture the browser games they're based off of.
I would highly recommend spending the $5 to buy 100 Gold in the Store in order to take advantage of the Queue Extender (worth 50 Gold). I don't suggest wasting your money every week, but it's a great idea for those wishing to build their up their Points.
The Queue Extender is free to all new players for 7 days, and must be purchased on the 8th day to raise building queue limit (from 2 to 5).
Anyway, hope that helps.

Is there anyway to get gold in game without
Buying it?
No. Not unless the game gives everyone a bonus like they did a while ago. 50 gold coins to all players.
How do find and join guilds? I can't see any options for this on the map page…
Can I move my city to be closer to a friends city?
How can i now how much point i will receive for upgrading buildings.In help there is a points overview but when i have upgraded lumbermill to lv 28 i received myb 500 points but i supposed to receive more then 2000..?
@Talon: you can search the map region in which you're in, and look for guilds that way. You can then message the guild leader to pass you an invite.
@steve: not to my knowledge. You can try building up your city and conquer another near your friends'.
@vuja: not sure if I can answer your question but I will say that the help section is misguiding or confusing sometimes. I do believe that the staff in Valor need to fix that…
Can you tell me how do I change my name
How do I boost the morale of my troops! I've noticed it diminishing over the past couple days. Im down to 87%
Well im from World13
My name is Vuja123
|You can change your name in cityhall
Well moral is going lower when you are atacking weaker player..I was farming one are and moral was at 33…
I have 200k of point and those farms 1k so moral was made to prevent guys like me to bully smaller and weaker players;)
Hey how do u get kst points I've battled barbarians and other players but still havent received any kill score
You have to actually kill troops.
Thank you, thats very helpful
So there is no way to get gold in game? You have to pay real money for it? Don\\\'t you need gold to collect resources from your lumber mill, quarry, etc; or am I not doing something right?
@Vuja123 – a level 28 lumbermill (in the world I play in) is worth 2704 pts. But a level 27 lumbermill is worth 2214 pts, which you already had.
So the increase is 490 pts (2704 – 2214), which is what happened to you.
The only way you'd get 2000+ pts for it is if you went straight from level 1 to level 28, which you can't do.
I have been trying to find info on how to conquer a city and take it over. But I can nit seem to find that anywhere. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Build an academy, which can be done by upgrading your city hall to 25, forge to 20, and barracks to 15. After that you must purchase scholarships (with resources) which you use to educate your scholars (also resources, like buying a unit). Sending a scholar to attack another city will lower its loyalty by 20-30. The scholar has to live in order for it to do so. Repeated attacks will drop the loyalty to zero, at that point the city is yours.
There is a tactic called chaos in which you have 40 attacks moving at a target city. That city cannot build troops or receive support, and in consolation you can't send any more attacks (doesn't matter since you have 40 already).
I would like to know how to build up my army? I've been playing it for some time now (my City Hall is level 21) but i can't make any progres in Quests cause I don't have any army.. I've attacked couple of barbarian cities before, but it seams like I've just stoped producing soldiers.. I haven't had them for a while now.. I'm only at my 3rd Quest.. Please help..
How long will the city be in chaos
Is it possible to conquer another city?
My lumber mill at level17 produces 2000hr in one world but in another world at level 17 it's only like 600hr is this normal?
hi there im not getting this,i build warehouse and farm to level 30 now is saying additional food required i cant expand the other buildings ????? ty
Hey is there anywhere where I can find a list of the stats that each building gets as you level it up?
there are queue for attack and support. If you make it full, it will activate Chao so that no more input accept.
Attack queue is 40 and support queue is 25.
Although attack chao is activated, he still can accept the support.
Only same Guild mate can send support (troops) and out-of-guild player can attack.
The best way to go up points is conquer more cities.
How to conquer:
Build Academy, buy scholarship and educate scholar.
No of scholarship to educate scholar needed is increased upon no of scholars you have.
Each conquer of a city used up a scholar.
Eg: To conquer 5 cities, you need 5 scholars (1+2+3+4+5=15 scholarships need to be purchased.
Farm will increase the population in your city. Max level 30 (23778 people). Each building used people and army also use people.
Different type of soldier cost different head count.
All foot soldiers 1 unit= 1 head.
Scout 1 unit= 2 head, Knight 1 unit = 3 heads, Guardian 1 unit = 4 heads.
Ram 1unit=4 heads, Balst 1unit = 6 heads.
If you train lots of army and used up max population, you cannot build anymore building.
Many things to write. Explore in the game. …
if you have more than 1 city can you control troops from both citys together
how to use the market?
If your city is conquered can you come back to the world it was conquered in and start a new game?
Should i conquer a city owned by another player or a barbarian city?
If my city is about to be conquered, can i abandon the game right away so the attacking player will lose the chance to win my city? What will happen to my city after abandoned?
How long does it take for you to lose your cities due to inactivity? I can't play and I don't want to lose my cities lol
How long does it take for you to lose your cities due to inactivity? I can\'t play and I don\'t want to lose my cities lol

What is with all the different colored cites on the map?
How can you reread the chapters in the storyline
what are some of the duties of a diplomat. how di\o i become a good one
Hey guys! If you need a Guild, feel free to give me your name (player name) so I can add you! Thank you!!
What's the point of the game???
On the game it says that I need additional scholarships to get a scholar when I already have two scholarships. What\'s wrong?
because u already have a scholar u need 2 additional scholarships to build a seccond scholar so 3 total scholarships for 2 scholars 6 scholarships for 3 scholars and so on
I have over 52,000 population in one of my Valor HD cities and cannot seem to reduce the number. I have MAX FARM and I have sent thousands of troops to their death in Pyrric attacks.
I am locked-up. How can I moderate my population?
Could anyone here tell me how to get the following titles:
- Conqueror;
- Lord of the Decapolis;
- Machiavellian;
- Self-Pwned; and
- Speed Demon.
can i control more than 1 city? and what do u mean by farming barbarian cities?
You can control more than one city! and by farming they mean when you invade a city you get recources so its another way to get recources if you have very little!
You can control more than one city! and by farming they mean when you invade a city you get recources so its another way to get recources if you have very little!
Does anyone know how to get titles
How do u scout barbarian cities?
How do I add my email. I have a kindle fire. Is that a problem?

Fowler claims Tour winComment on this story
Quail Hollow - Rickie Fowler won the Wells Fargo championship with a birdie on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff against fellow-American D.A. Points and Briton Rory McIlroy at Quail Hollow on Sunday.

I had some pain in my leg while exercising, and now my doctor wants to do an ankle-brachial index test. How is it done? And what will it tell him?
Atherosclerosis stiffens and clogs our arteries. It attacks the coronary arteries that provide blood to the heart muscle and causes heart attacks. It also attacks the arteries of the brain, causing strokes.
Atherosclerosis also often affects the peripheral arteries of the legs. When we exercise our leg muscles, they can reach the point where we're asking them to work harder than their blood supply allows. When that happens, they scream in pain. ...

Irish singer Ronan Keating has been hit with allegations he cheated on wife YVONNE while on tour.
The couple's representative announced on Thursday (20May10) that they are to separate, marking the end of their 12-year marriage.
The spokesperson added the split was "amicable" - but a new report suggests their union was destroyed by Keating's infidelity.
Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper claims the Boyzone singer confessed he had been unfaithful during his recent solo tour of the U.K., Australia and New Zealand - and Yvonne immediately told him their marriage is over.
A source tells the publication, "Yvonne was heartbroken but she made her mind up on the spot. The cracks were there already, but this was the final straw.
"She isn't the sort of person to forgive and forget. Ronan has accepted her decision."
Keating has three children with Yvonne.

Re: Update Problems in response to RickGrae
Your podcast is fully up to date in the Store.
Would it be possible for you to check if any tags are associated with my podcast?
All feeds have tags, so I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. However your feed is lacking the 'itunes:duration' tags which should carry the duration of each episode. Otherwise it seems OK, and includes 'keywords' which should help in searching (though in the Store this can be flaky).

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Best venue! My wedding was so special thanks to everyone at atlantis! Jayme and patti were awesome to work with even with my 1000 emails daily ! Adrienne my bridal attendant was amazing. She was with me every step of the way and just amazing. I highly recommend this venue to anyone on a budget and looking for a fairy tale wedding ! Awesome place awesome people! Thank u so much for making our night a great memory!
Absolutely amazing staff and service
Atlantis was the perfect place to have our wedding. All of our guests went out of their way to tell us how amazing it was and that it was the best weddig they'd ever been to. Nothing fell short of our expectations. I could not have asked for a better day!
It was a unique venue. Everyone of my guests had a great time, as did we. I heard the food was great but my husband and I did not get a chance to eat anything. There were a couple small things that went wrong but I believe that true for every wedding. Overall great place.
Everything was fantastic. We had compliments from guests for weeks after the wedding. The entire wedding ran smoothly, I was never bothered by the event staff, they hand eked everything. I couldn't have had a better time!
If you want a unique and amazing venue for your wedding reception look no further than Atlantis Banquets & Events. This venue offers an event that every bride and groom dream of for their wedding day. Our wedding reception far exceeded our expectations from the moment that we were greeted with champagne and strawberries, experienced a unique cocktail hour in the aquarium amongst the sea exhibits, and then went on to enjoy the reception in the beautiful upstairs room overlooking the Peconic River. The service provided by the staff was exceptional beginning with the initial planning with Craig Alexander, to the actual wedding day with Lori, Jayme and Jacquie and all of the other staff who were very attentive to our every needs. The food served throughout the event was delicious and seemed endless. At the end of the evening our out of town guests had the convenience of staying next door overnight at the Hyatt Place East End. Many of our guests commented on how this was the best wedding reception they ever attended. Thank you Atlantis Banquets & Events for making our wedding day a memorable celebration!
Everything about Atlantis was AMAZING! The staff was truly professional and made everything seem personable. They were always there when we need them and they answered all of our questions right away. The amount you get for the price was fabulous! My husband and I couldn't have been happier! All of our guests loved the venue. They loved the feel of the aquarium and just the way it was setup blew them away. We really couldn't have picked a better place to have our wedding!
Our wedding was a dream come true thanks to Atlantis Banquets and Events. Both Steven and I were treated with respect and loyalty and also had top quality service. My family members were so impressed with the unique elegance that Atlantis provided for us. If you are a bride and groom-to-be and are not sure who should host your wedding, choose Atlantis. The recommended vendors such as ADA Photography and Sound Choice Entertainment were absolutely fabulous!
Atlantis was really fantastic, they accomodated me on everything and made the entire process of wedding planning enjoyable for me and my wife. The staff was fantastic both in planning and the day of. I couldn't have been happier with them or any of the vendors they recommended. They were easy and quick to communicate with, the food was excellent, the venue was gorgeous and everyone had a great time. I have family members and friends who hate weddings who stayed till the end and then raved about how unique, different and most important fun and memorable!
I cannot say enough good things about this venue. I had my wedding in the Sea Star ballroom. Everything came out beautiful! The bridal attendant was phenomenal and so nice. Craig in sales was great to work with. Very professional. Worked with each of my vendors seamlessly, and the food in great!!
Our wedding at Atlantis was perfect! The Venue and staff were so helpful and amazing. They all went out of their way to make sure all our needs were meant and taken care of. I would highly recommend Atlantis, they made my wedding day the best day of my life.
Loved everything that's everyone there did Craig was amazing
Fantastic wedding! Everything went very smoothly!
It went very smoothly and I enjoyed the day. One thing that usually goes unmentioned is how nice the staff looked. Clean & neat. Very upscale.
The Sea Star Ballroom is a great venue for a wedding! The staff and service was amazing!
We had a wedding planned for July 4, 2013 but there was a sickness in the family that came on rather suddenly. Craig was wonderful and helped us find a new date that was only a month away. I'm still getting compliments on how our wedding was the wedding of a lifetime (it IS an aquarium after all). The bridal attendant, Jayme and the Captain where amazing. There were a few hiccups along the way, but the wedding was wonderful. We ended up going back the next day to give the bridal attendant and the captain an extra tip (and we're students with little money, so that's saying a lot). I'm already planning our 50th wedding anniversary :)

After the success of the first 3G smartphone, Idea places another bet with a smartphone that supports video calling, is priced at Rs 7,190 and runs Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread.
Idea Cellular announced its fourth smartphone for the Indian market, called Idea 3G Aurus. The new Idea 3G smartphone Aurus is targeted at people on a budget who aspire to have a great looking device that can make video calls. Though video calling has not taken off very well in India, Idea is banking on the video calling facilities in 3G Aurus to pull in some significant users. For the Indian masses, Idea 3G Aurus smartphone will be available starting today at a best price of Rs 7,190 and it also brings 3G data benefits worth Rs 2,300 for free.
Idea has introduced three mobile phones and the last smartphone Idea ID 918 for Rs 5,994 attracted several consumers. Let's get one thing clear: Idea does not make mobile phones. Idea Cellular partnered with Alcatel One Touch to make the Idea 3G Aurus smartphone. In a way, Idea 3G Aurus is the rebranded version of Alcatel One Touch 985 smartphone. However, the Idea team has worked closely with Alcatel One Touch to add several optimizations to the device.
Idea's newFreedom pack provides 28 day validity for just Rs 100 and 300 MB of 2G data, and Rs 175 pack offers 500 MB of 3G data.
Idea's competitors, Vodafone and Reliance Jio are expected to launch their 4G services by this December.
Idea is also offering 3GB 3G data and Idea TV access for 3 months, with a pack priced at Rs 259 - Rs 261 with the handset.
The 3G speed booster plans are available at three price points - Rs 100, Rs 175 and Rs 250.
With a recharge of Rs 60, all Idea subscribers can get surprise talktime between Rs 51 to Rs 100 in Andhra Pradesh.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Local Government Academy, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
The Township of Ross and the North Hills Council of Goverments have both benififted greatly from the LGA Internship Program. The LGA makes it much easier for us to indentify and hire good qualified college students. Our interns have helped us to develop programs such as our pavement management program and the North Hills COGs stormwater management pond inventory. The projects have been completed at a much lower cost using the excellant interns we have been able to find using the program.
More Feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
LGA is easy to work with.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Do much more..
Ways to make it better...
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
One thing I'd also say is that...
Should this review be counted for a specific campaign?

The Magazine
Bin Laden's video, Scott Ritter, and more.
Dec 24, 2001, Vol. 7, No. 15
The new bin Laden video has been so thoroughly chewed over by the commentariat that The Scrapbook has only a couple of points to make. First, the tape was much more effective at strengthening the convictions of those who had already grasped bin Laden's depravity than at changing the minds of the deluded. This is unsurprising. If you are inclined to believe that the Mossad engineered the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, then you will find it easy to believe that the Mossad can create propaganda videos starring an Osama bin Laden look-alike. A number of people on this planet, after all, still believe the Apollo moon landings were filmed in Hollywood.
Nonetheless--or, rather, for this very reason--the release of the tape was a huge success for the U.S. government. It forced an exquisitely tortuous choice on the bin Laden sympathizers and America haters. They had to declare their party loyalty: sane or demented. Mohamed Atta's father in Egypt said, "It's a forgery, of course." Sufficient reason, if one were needed, to stop listening to his ravings. Perhaps more surprising, especially to its American fan club, was the decision by Qatar-based satellite TV channel Al Jazeera to go with a report from "researcher" Hani Subai in London, declaring the video to have been "fabricated....It is shameful that the strongest nation in the world should be presenting this tape as proof." Something to bear in mind the next time you hear someone extolling the virtues of Al Jazeera.
Second, even as the tape showed the limits of "evidence" in changing the hearts and minds of the delusional, bin Laden himself seemed to confirm that the best American PR comes not from Madison Avenue but from the Pentagon. When people see a "strong horse and a weak horse," said bin Laden, "by nature they will like the strong horse."
Or, as Reuel Marc Gerecht put it in a prescient piece for this magazine ("Liberate Iraq," May 14, 2001):
"Unfortunately, the Arab Middle East easily takes solace in a ruthless despot who can intimidate America. . . . The State Department's Near East Bureau and the Office of Policy Planning . . . do Secretary Powell a disservice when they generate analyses of the Middle East depicting the United States forever on the seesaw of the Arab street. . . . The United States must not try to win a popularity contest in the Arab world--the very act of doing so will make us appear weak. . . . If we are to protect ourselves and our friends in the Middle East, who are many, we have to rebuild the awe which we have lost through nearly a decade of retreat."
We don't need any more bin Laden tapes. The American horse is getting stronger every day.
Scott Ritter's descent from U.N. arms inspector to apologist for Saddam Hussein was ably chronicled in these pages several weeks back by Stephen F. Hayes. Last week Ritter added to this shameful record, arguing that the Iraqi dictator would be justified in working with an Osama bin Laden operative to blow up a Radio Free Europe facility in the Czech Republic for broadcasting news Saddam disapproves of.
At a Dec. 7 briefing for the Center for Policy Analysis on Palestine in Washington, D.C., Ritter addressed the subject of meetings between an Iraqi spy and Mohamed Atta in Prague: "What it appears transpired was that the Iraqi intelligence officer...spoke with Mohamed Atta at length about an attack, but it was an attack on a radio transmission tower of Radio Free Europe in Prague, Czechoslovakia. . . . If you're the Iraqi government and you're looking at the Iraqi National Congress, they are a legitimate enemy. Indeed," Ritter added, "you could make the case that the Radio Free Europe transmission tower, under international law, is a legitimate target."
Actually, as far as we can determine, even Iraqi intelligence doesn't seem to think destroying a Radio Free Europe transmitter is a "legitimate" thing to be doing. Does anyone besides Scott Ritter think international law would countenance such an outrage? Does Jack Kemp, who as recently as his Dec. 6 syndicated column was still citing Ritter as a disinterested, authoritative expert on Iraq?
Creeping Gannettization
Another milestone to be noted in the Gannettization of a fine, formerly conservative editorial page: The Detroit News did an about-face last week and threw out principle for P.C. pragmatism on the subject of racial preferences at public universities. For years, under editorial page editor Tom Bray, the News had published legally informed, coherent arguments for colorblind admissions to the University of Michigan. Now, hewing to the diversity dogma of publisher Mark Silverman and the Gannett Corp., it announces feebly, "Affirmative action is not a perfect solution. But it works."

We stayed the night last night. Sleeping in one of those bed/chairs was sure rough at almost 20 wks let alone all the worrying about our baby girl. Next is probably a chest X-ray to rule out pneumonia.

While it's important to remember to keep your balance, not look at your tips and hire all the right gear, one of the most important things to get your holiday off without a hitch is to make sure you pick the right resort.
You should do some looking around to make sure you find a resort that has the right sort of terrain, which means that you want nursery or green level slopes and poma or magic carpet lifts so you can build up to chair lifts.
Two of the best places for you to try if you're a beginner are Avoriaz and Meribel in France, not least because they have wide expanses of areas just for novices.
However, skiing and snowboarding are now widely recognised as extreme sports thanks to organisers like the X Games and Red Bull.
If you like your sports extreme and prefer a black run to a bunny run then there are two particularly jaw-dropping slope challenges waiting for you in France and Austria…
Flaine in France is a well-known spot for die-hard skiers, but it's La Combe to Gers that you'll want to look towards for this particular challenge.
As winter closes in and the snow gets deeper, more and more resorts open each weekend - and the next one to do so is one of the biggest and best.
Val d'Isere has a deserved reputation as one of the most glamorous resorts in the Alps and everything is gearing up for the coming weekend, as November 28th sees the resort opening.
While winter sports fans make their ski hire arrangements, the lifts are ready, the bars are poised, the preparations are in hand for the opening night party and, most importantly of all, the snow has started to fall in large quantities. The first big storm of the winter arrived in the last week and as temperatures plunge after a mild autumn, lots more is expected in the coming days.
News this week that the opening of Val Thorens has been put back a week may alert some to the simple reality that, however diligently people may make their ski and snowboard hire arrangements, book flights and accommodation and take the time off work, sometimes the weather does not co-operate.
For those going to Val Thorens, the extra wait for the pistes to open is not a long one, but that will be of little comfort to anyone booked in for the first week who has to cancel and rearrange everything.
Val Thorens has been one of the most popular and highly-rated ski resorts in the world since it was first established in the 1970s.
From its superb slopes to its brilliant design and accommodation, everything about the report is top-notch. It even boasts the world's highest zipwire. The only thing it cannot do is control the weather.
This last fact has led to the opening of the resort for the new season being delayed.
For ten years now, Snowrental has accompanied you in your online ski hire: An easy way to reserve your ski equipment at discount prices in more than 400 European ski resorts.
There is no easier way to hire skis:
Select your resort from the Snowrental network in Switzerland, Italy, Austria or Spain. Then select the shop nearest your residence using one of our plans, and indicate your dates.
The winter sports season is almost here? Don't delay, hire your skis online at Snowrental.co.uk and save up to 50% on prices in resort shops, according to your dates and destinations.
Among other things, Snowrental offers you the opportunity to hire your skis in the largest ski resorts in France using a good discount ski rental:
St Anton - Val Thorens - Orcieres Merlette - Courchevel 1850 - Arc 1950 - Les Menuires - Meribel Centre - Les Deux Alpes - Serre Chevalier - Risoul - Montalbert - Megeve - Tignes - Avoriaz - Morzine - Meribel Mottaret - Les Saisies - Valmeinier - Arcs 1800 - Alpe d'Huez - La Clusaz - Valmorel - Plagne Bellecote
At Snowrental, nothing is left to chance. Our pool of skis and snowboards is renewed every year with all the very latest equipment selected by mountain professionals. Beginner or advanced skiers or snowboarders will always find equipment adapted to their level and needs.
The professionals at our partner ski shops will advise you according to your level and the conditions around the ski area.
By filling in your promotion code below you can take advantage of a bonus discount on your ski rental.

Hi Matt.
I'm new as well, to the board and photography (though newer than you). Why do I do it? Because whatever it is you shoot, it'll never be exactly like that ever again. Because I love to look at the images. Because I love to share the things that I think are special and beautiful and interesting. I love to focus in and get life to something that maybe someone else hasn't bothered to really look at. For some people an old railroad bridge is just an old ugly failing structure - but there's beauty in it if you look at it the right way. If no one agrees - oh well, it will still be beautiful to me and long after it's gone I'll still have the photos to remind me of something that once was. And that is the other part of it, being able to hold and remember something after it's gone - a beautiful windmill, an old ship, a crumbling bridge, woods, flowers, animals.

Bring Me The Horizon: This album needs to be the one that lasts forever
On the brink of the release of their fourth full-length studio album 'Sempiternal'; Bring Me The Horizon are at the forefront of the British metal scene and are spearheading the resurgence of modern British bands. I talked to front man Oliver Sykes about purging inner troubles, the band's religious connotations and isolation in recording.
How's it going with Sempiternal?
Yeah, it's good. It's not out until April 29, so it's just a waiting game at the moment. The reception to what's been put out so far is really positive. It feels really good for us especially. I'm feeling really positive, which is new for our band, so it's really exciting.
It must be quite frustrating to wait for everyone else to hear it.
It's killing me. We finished it in November, and we wrote it way before that, we've had these songs for so long, it's just that and we're worried about it leaking. We want people to hear it, and we want to go out and play it. So yeah, it's a little frustrating, but that's how it works I guess.
Good things come to those that wait.
Yeah man, exactly.
Let's talk about recording. You recorded parts of Sempiternal far out in the Lake District, what was the reason behind that?
We started there because that's the usual approach we take: recording in isolation. Most albums we go away somewhere remote and record. It didn't work out as well for us this time because we liked that before as we were always touring, and we needed somewhere quiet to go. But this time, we had a bit of time to chill out before that, so we didn't need it as much. It took us so long to get into the writing process this time because we had that massive tour, and we hadn't written for so long. It takes a while each time – a few months – to find that first song, and be like 'this is it', because we always start off by believing that this album is going to be completely different to the last, but we never know why, and we never have that vision, but it's always about finding that first song that's going to represent the album, and that took us a while.
So where was the rest of the album recorded?
The majority of the recording was done at my house with a computer; and that was when Jordan was brought into the band, he's a bit of a geek so he knows all that stuff. We got a bit of a set up and it worked so much better, we put it down on the computer and wrote a quick electronic beat to it, rather than six people in a practice room, and everyone smashing their instruments. That was always the most frustrating part about writing, so it was a new and unconventional way of writing for us, but it worked really well.
Was that like the early days of the band then?
Yeah, in a way. At the same time, it was completely new to us; we would always do it in a practice room from the start. It was new in the sense of just writing from scratch into a computer. It works so much better because it means you don't have to start with the guitar necessarily; so you can start with a synth, or with a drumbeat or with a vocal line. It opens up so many more opportunities for us, and you could come back every day and go 'that's really good' and fine tune it at every point.
How did Jordan joining the band come about in the first place?
Basically, with digital and programming aspects, we always bring someone in to do that, which we've done on the last few records. Each time it got a bit more evolved. He [Jordan] was originally a friend who we'd bring in on a more freelance basis. He would sit down on his computer, and we say what we want and it's basically like that. But this time, it kind of progressed more and more until he was writing the songs. He's amazing, he's got loads of style, he's got loads of ideas and he listens to music that I don't listen to. We connect on a very similar level, even if we don't know the same bands and music, we both know the same elements of music and what makes a song good. I don't think many people find people like Jordan in life, someone you can trust to do something like that. I can't trust many people to go off and design our band a T-shirt, or do something on our behalf; but I feel very comfortable with him writing stuff. It was a turning point for the album when he got involved, he's responsible for a big part of that new sound.
With this album and its predecessor, there are a lot of religious connotations, is this deliberate? Is religion a big thing for the band?
I've always been an atheist. I obviously just don't believe in God. But I've had a lot a sorting myself out do, and it came to the point where I was put in a position where I asked to believe in God. I was asked to hand over my faith to god, and let someone try and help me. For me, I just thought 'are you serious?', because they thought my only reason to get better was because of god, that imaginary guy in the sky. That really struck a chord with me, and I thought of all the people around me trying to get better because of this reason, because of god. I didn't get it then and I still don't get it now. Everyone in the world, no matter who you are, knows what's right and what's wrong; you don't need anyone to tell you. You don't need a set of guidelines to tell you what's wrong; you know when you do it. That's how you should live your life, you shouldn't have to believe there's a fiery hell that you're going to, or there's a kingdom that you'll go to.
So how does this affect the band, the fans and the album?
I don't have strong voiced opinions. For example, I'm a vegetarian, but I don't give a fuck about people eating meat because that's their choice and it's not going to change them. I think people are rude who point their finger and belittle people, but that's just an example. I think religion is evil, I think it's the root of all evil, I think it causes thousands of deaths and I think it's a brainwashing tool. Kids need to know that, especially those that we play to around the world. I'm not going to tell them to not believe, but I want people to think about it, and explore the avenues of it. It's not harmless belief, it's not like Santa Claus or anything, it causes so many wars and so much fighting, and the fact that I was supposed to get better for that reason really infuriated me. It is a talking point of the album, yeah.
You say 'getting better'….
It's not something I talk about. You could listen to the album and put two and two together.
Fair enough. So the definition of the Sempiternal is 'eternal and everlasting', is this the motive of the band?
It symbolises a lot of different things, some of which were intended, some that kind of came together. This album needs to be the one that lasts forever, just by Bring Me The Horizon, no guests, no gimmicks, no nothing. It's straight up us, it represents what we're about, what we do, and what we've spent the last 10 years doing, working on, and progressing. The flower of life – which is the cover of the album – means a lot of things, but it boils down to simply representing everything, it's the life of everything and that's where 'Sempiternal' comes from. The ongoing theme of the album is that every song is about a different point, with a different story and a different message, it's a step-by-step concept. When you get the album, it will have it laid out in steps. Each song represents a different kind of realisation, whether that's credence, admission or religion. It's a process. Sempiternal stands for the realisation of something that's never going to go away. People have afflictions and diseases that you can't get rid of and sometimes – no matter how hard you try – it's always there.
Are these 'afflictions' purged during the writing process?
For me, it's like therapy. I get to be completely honest because I'm writing it down and I don't have to sugarcoat it. For me, I don't have to explain my lyrics to anyone if I don't want to. Getting out on stage and screaming it is a complete and utter relief. I've learnt sometimes that talking about stuff and letting it out is the best form of therapy that you can do but even this is a greater form of that.
So a purification, of sorts?
Does the need for Lads On Tour (the band's documentary) come from the need to show the fun side of the band? A side that isn't shown in the music.
The music is very serious. We're not professionals, we're five kids that come from Sheffield and we don't know the world that we're in, and we're still those people. We've got to talk about how epic is to play Brixton and talk about symbolism, and we just can't do that. We're quite competent songwriters now, but when you sit me down and try to talk about, I'll stutter. It's not who we are, it's important to show that we're not as serious as we come across.
To wrap up, what's the next step after Sempiternal's release?
Just getting out and touring! It's the fun part now; the hard work is over, so it'll be a year or two of just constant touring.
Bring Me The Horizon's fourth full-length album – Sempiternal – will be released April 29th 2013, through Sony Music and RCA.

I want an African Pope, just to see how well Racism and Religion really holds together.
So is there an actual group of Catholics who have not already left for other reasons that you expect to walk if an African is at their head?
Also is it African specifically or any man who self identifies and/or is perceived by others as other then European?

Well, 100 years ago, plates were once coated by hand in rooms of individual coaters in dark red safelight and heavy lab smocks. Then they began coating with a cascade coater with sheets of glass passing under on a felt plate. A special cutter then cut the huge sheets into individual glass plates. Many coaters were similar to that of Jim Browning.
Film was not an early contender, but when it was, it was coated using a trough coater as shown here on APUG in a video. Paper was coated the same way. Later coaters added a doctor blade or air knife to reduce ripples and irregularities.
Drying of plates was difficult, but drying of film and paper was rather simple given enough room. The coated material was hung in festoons from the ceiling of the coating room and allowed to dry. However, each loop in the festoon introduced a "kink" or coating defect which limited the longest length of good coating to just a little less than the distance from floor to ceiling.
Accuracy and precision were pretty good, all things considered.

ITPS President Dennis Speigel has one word to describe the Middle East's theme park licensing frenzy years ago: ludicrous. And continuing on the same merits would only restart the vicious cycle.
December 18, 2011 4:55 by kippreport
The theme park industry has marched its way around the world. Emanating from the USA in the mid-1950s, with the launch and opening of Disneyland, the USA saw basic theme park market saturation through the early 1980s.
The movement then went overseas. It went to Europe, with a lot of parks hitting and some missing the mark. Parks developed during this time were Parc Asterix, EuroDisney, Warner Bros, Port Aventura, Le Nouveau Monde Des Schtroumpfs, and Futuroscope. It also continued to march throughout Asia, with parks being built in Japan, Korea, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.
As the pendulum continued to swing, things started heating up in South America. And by the millennium, the movement headed to the Middle East.
Experiencing a development boom at the time, the Middle East drew operators from all over the world. It was a "licensing frenzy" with Sea World, Universal, Warner Bros, Six Flags, Marvel, Paramount, Dreamworks trying to jump on the bandwagon – just to name a few.
In Dubai alone—a city of more than 1.2 million people during the pre-boom—there were over 13 theme parks ranging from $400 million to $3.5 billion planned. Ludicrous.
What was happening was Middle Eastern developers were caught up in the licensing frenzy to tie up theme parks for the eventual boom that was to come. It was unlike anything we have ever seen in our industry. There was no real foundation or reason for the parks to be developed. The market was not there, the infrastructure was not there, and Dubai had not yet been established as a tourism hub. Dubai was not Orlando.
When the economy tanked, so did all of these projects. No surprise. Not much has changed in the market or region to once again launch such development. In fact, with the reports about the dismal attendance at Ferrari World during its first year of operation, one has to wonder about the future of this enormous project.
We have learned in the industry, you cannot force a market. Orlando has literally taken 40 years to reach the proportion it has to date. It has grown on the basis of supply and demand. It has seen both lean and successful times over the last 40 years. One thing the Orlando market has always done is continue an upward trend in infrastructure and tourism. Both of these support the 50 million people who visit Orlando each year.
The Middle East certainly has cities and markets that can support their parks. The keys are proper sizing and proper investment levels. It is important not to over-size or over-invest, lest the market cannot support the attraction. There is no need for numerous projects in a developing market. Let demand pave the way for expansion. You cannot force a market to develop, but you can nurture its growth. It would have taken 40 to 50 years of continued tourist development for Dubai to have supported all of these parks initially proposed – and that considers that people could have had all of the necessary amenities to accommodate their stay.
In developing a theme park, a proper feasibility analysis must be conducted – a process and formula which dates back to the early 1950s when Harrison "Buzz" Price did the first theme park project study for Walt Disney. That process is basically the same formula used to study markets today, and it provides the project's foundation or "roadmap."
I ask, "what would have ever made the developers during the boom time in Dubai believe that 13 theme parks would be successful?" It was unrealistic on their part. As I stated, it was really just an intellectual licensing roll-up by developers and operators.
When planning a new project, the following are the 12 basic steps of development for leisure project development:
1. Feasibility Analysis
2. Masterplan Programming
3. Preliminary Concept Design
4. Final Concept Design
5. Schematic Design
6. Detail Design
7. Production and Construction Documents
8. Production and Construction
9. Installation and Testing
10. Pre-Opening
11. Grand Opening
12. Rehabilitation / Expansion
Simply stated, if this12-step process is followed, it will properly pave the way and act as a guide for the development process. At ITPS, we have successfully followed this approach for 30 years, allowing these 12 steps to guide us through the successful development and opening of many projects.
The Middle East will see development of leisure when markets and economic conditions are proper for development. As mentioned earlier, proper sizing and proper investment levels are keys to the potential success of any planned project.

I have tried this. It works but wasn't sure about the density so I recently did the following test using Foma 100, 120 roll. I made exposures at 100, +1/2, +1. I developed in Suprol 1+4 for 6 mins. After bleach and clear I split the reversal part. The first 3 frames were exposed to light then second development and the next 3 with Iron Out, two teaspoons in 400ml water.
When I was doing the development the light reversal strip developed blacks very quickly. With iron out the development took longer and whilst the film was wet the blacks looked less dense but when dry there was not much between them.
I have enclosed scans, I know this brings in other variables but it was the same parameters for both strips.
I have been experimenting with Foma 100 since last year and although it works quite well I am not happy with the density of the images compared to other films. I do not have the technical knowledge but think maybe it is not the best film for reversal. I found that rating it at 400 with longer development time gave slightly better results.
I also now think that light reversal may be the way to go. I always thought it seemed a bit vague, uncontrolled and open to inconsistencies but seems to gave the clearest slides.

Fort Monmouth police chief: A study in contrast
February 16, 2010
By Jason Kaneshiro, Fort Monmouth Public Affairs
FORT MONMOUTH, N. J. -- Standing well over six feet tall and needing to duck under the doorway to his office to avoid hitting his head, Fort Monmouth's Chief of Police Adam Weinstein is a formidable presence.
With a build like his, you might imagine that he was destined for a career in the military, law enforcement or the National Football League. But the paths people eventually take in life aren't always clear when they take their first steps.
"I was actually a teacher in New York City for about a year," Weinstein said. His first goal was to be part of the New York Police Department (NYPD). He applied for the New York Police Academy when he got out of high school, but was not initially accepted.
"It was hard to get into the force back then," he said. In the meantime, he attended college and was three quarters of the way through his studies for a degree in education when he got the call from the NYPD.
"I always wanted to be a police officer as a little kid," he said. Weinstein is the first in his family to serve in law enforcement and achieving his dream of wearing the badge didn't come easily.
"It was like six months of boot camp," he said, describing the training that he and his fellow police recruits endured. With the hardships they shared, the friendships he forged are maintained to this day.
Weinstein spent his 10-year career with the NYPD patrolling the neighborhoods of Brooklyn, making hundreds of felony arrests throughout the 1990s. The highlight of his career there was serving with an undercover unit.
The relatively tranquil Fort Monmouth community is nearly the opposite of the often wild and unpredictable streets of Brooklyn.
"In New York, almost all of our time was devoted to responding to 9-1-1 calls," Weinstein recalled. Here the slower pace allows for time to devote to community policing and getting to know people that leads to a more effective relationship between the community and the law enforcement personnel charged with their protection.
The positive relationships extend beyond the post to the police and emergency services departments of the surrounding communities.
"We have a great relationship with the surrounding departments," said Weinstein. "We work with them a lot and, if requested, we can help them and vice versa.
Weinstein attributed much of the success of the Fort Monmouth Police Department to the depth of experience on the force. Because there are no age restrictions it brought in experienced officers who already had careers and had retired from local police departments, bringing a good mix of young recruits and older veterans to the force.
"That's been a big advantage," said Weinstein. And that's an advantage that he's eager to hold on to for as long as possible as the fort nears its final days of operations.
Police officers here are Garrison personnel, so their positions will disappear when the post closes. "It's been tough, but we're encouraging our people to go and get jobs," Weinstein said. "We're still backfilling positions here, and as we get closer to the end, it may be more challenging to be fully staffed.
Looking ahead to the future, Weinstein isn't sure what is in store for him. Like others employed with the Garrison, his job will disappear once retreat is called for the final time at Fort Monmouth.
"I'd like to find another job in law enforcement, maybe with the government or with the private sector," he said.
It was an unexpected path that led Weinstein to find success here and whatever waits beyond the installation gates, he's confident his experience will lead him to more success in the future.

The Berkley fourth-grade travel boys basketball team was head and shoulders above the rest.
BERKLEY — The Berkley fourth-grade travel boys basketball team was head and shoulders above the rest.
And they proved it against some tough competition.
The locals competed against 17 other Massachusetts teams and came away with a first-place finish in a recent Metro West tournament.
Berkley beat Dedham in the championship game to captured the trophy.
The young talented group was too much to handle with their team work and hard work on the hardware floor.
The seven fourth-grade travel members capped off a terrific season with the championship and have something to build on in the future.
Members of the Berkley championship are Michael Locarni, Brian Kanuse, Ryan Forkey, Brian Cassidy, Kaimana Mazza, Austin Macek, Bryce Garretson and Mason Arruda.
Scores and results are sent to the Daily Gazette weekly.

I found these two types in a seed packet of 'Pink Banana'. According to W W Weaver around 1900 the seed company Aggeler and Musser of Los Angeles developed three varieties: a yellow-orange one, a blue-grey one and a pink one. The one most frequently seen is the pink type.

There are two types of "Banana" squash. The older cultivar is the Blue Banana which is bluish gray. I am refering to the Pink Banana. This produces a 15 to 20 lb cylindical squash in a light pink color. It is a prolific producer and flesh quality will rival a Hubbard. The shell is much softer so one doesn't need a chainsaw or an axe to open it. It is very good for processed squash dishes like pies, puddings etc. Better flavor than pumpkins and will substitute for all but Jack O Lanterns. It grows a huge vine so allot plenty of space.
