text: SXSW 2015 SXSW 2015 Gave Austin's Economy a $317 Million Boost, Study Reports By Emilie Mutert & Veronica Zaragovia • Sep 15, 2015 Ilana Panich-Linsman/KUT The results of Austin's annual SXSW economic impact study are in, and according to the findings, the festival once again served as an economic boon to the city. Best of Fest: The Daily Buzz Picks its Top Interviews from SXSW Film By Irene Cho • Apr 4, 2015 Courtesy of the film Festival-only radio show The Daily Buzz brings you its 2015 SXSW Film roundup, its Best of Fest episode. The co-hosts speak with filmmakers from documentary feature, narrative feature and audience award-winning films. The episode features interviews with the minds behind: Landfill Harmonic, A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Valesquez Story, Twinsters, A Woman Like Me, Creative Control, and Frame by Frame. Hosts also speak with Janet Pierson, head of SXSW Film, and Hugh Forrest, head of SXSW Interactive. SXSW: Episode Seven from The Daily Buzz By Irene Cho • Mar 25, 2015 During the KPop meetup at Blackheart, The Daily Buzz spent some time with Korean indie rock band Eastern Sidekick. The band consists of main songwriter and lead guitarist Ko Hangyul, Bae Sanghwan on bass guitar, Ryu Inhyuk on guitars and Ko Myungchul on drums. How One Austinite Learned to Stop Being a Cynic and Love SXSW (Sort of) By Matt Largey • Mar 20, 2015 Matt Largey/KUT News You might have seen it on Buzzfeed. An article called "Here's what Austinites really think about South by Southwest." "Utter madness," they called it. "Crazy." "Thrilling." I was suspicious. The people all looked like they were fresh out of college. Did they even live here? Real Austinites, you know, who've been here a few years, like to grumble about South by Southwest. What is it About Swedish Pop Music? Searching for that 'Swedish Sound' at SXSW By Audrey McGlinchy • Mar 20, 2015 Ilana Panich-Linsman/KUT You might be surprised to hear that Sweden is the world's third biggest exporter of music. ABBA, Ace of Base, and the guy who invented Spotify are all Swedes. And when Swedish musicians travel outside their country, one of their first stops is South by Southwest. But what makes Swedish music so popular? What SXSW Filmmaker Wants Texans to Know About Mexico's Drug War By Laura Rice • Mar 20, 2015 Bernardo Ruiz This story comes from Texas Standard. A documentary at SXSW – "Kingdom of Shadows" – forces us to look at the ongoing violence south of the Texas-Mexico border. The film is told through three people – a Mexican nun working to find answers about tens of thousands of disappearances, a U.S. drug enforcement agent and a former Texas drug smuggler. Bernardo Ruiz directed the film. The Invisible Thing That (Almost) All Your Music Has in Common By Matt Largey • Mar 20, 2015 Ilana Panich-Linsman/KUT At South by Southwest Music you can hear everything from metal and rock to hip hop and electronic music. Dozens of genres – but for the most part, they all have one very basic thing in common. If you're a musician, it might sound familiar to you:The musical note A, above middle C, equals 440 hertz. It's the basis of virtually every piece of music you'll hear today. And probably every piece of music you have ever heard, with a few exceptions. It's called reference pitch or concert pitch. It's the note that every other note is based on. Take a listen: Every instrument in Western music – more or less – is tuned to this standard. Slideshow: Scenes from SXSW Music By KUT Staff • Mar 19, 2015 Ilana Panich-Linsman/KUT This year's South by Southwest Music festival features more than 900 bands – not counting those who play impromptu shows in clubs and houses and on the streets – and as usual, it's drawn swarms of visitors to Austin. KUT/KUTX photographers and multimedia producers are out in the field, capturing images of musicians, crowds and workers. Click through the photos above for a slideshow. If Embraced by the Industry, Med Tech Showcased at SXSW Could Transform Health Care By Veronica Zaragovia • Mar 19, 2015 KUT News Mary Lou Brown has felt so lonely living in Austin. Since her diagnosis with lupus in 2003, she hasn't found any support groups for people with the disease. She gets a lot of help from her husband and son, but she says no one gets what it's like to be in pain all day long. "[The pain] goes from your heel all the way to the scalp, where no one can touch you," Brown says. Most of us have an immune system that protects us from germs. But if you have lupus, your immune system can't tell the difference between the bad guys and healthy tissue, so it attacks the healthy tissue, causing inflammation and pain. Will Self-Driving Cars End or Extend Our Auto Addiction? By Terrence Henry • Mar 18, 2015 Terrence Henry/KUT News SXSW Interactive has come to a close, and one big trend this year was connected car technology — that could be anything from your car knowing a light's about to turn red to a vehicle completely driving itself. Next week, a car will hit the road on a cross-country drive from San Francisco to New York. Except this car won't have a driver. Let's take a look at where self-driving car technology is today, and the possible places it could take us. Listen to the story: Has SXSW Interactive Done More to Embrace Latinos in 2015? By Veronica Zaragovia • Mar 18, 2015 Veronica Zaragovia/KUT During the South by Southwest Interactive conference last year, only a handful of panels were on Latinos in tech, and those panels were held at an isolated Holiday Inn, nowhere near the convention center downtown. This year, the panels on Latinos have stretched across a number of days, and all of them have been inside the bustling convention center. We spent some time with people at South by Southwest who identify as Latino to hear about their experience at the conference this year. Listen to their voices below. South by Couch West: Watch SXSW From Home By Nathan Bernier • Mar 18, 2015 Nathan Bernier, KUT News Maybe you didn't RSVP to the events, or maybe you didn't buy an $895 music badge or a $189 wristband, or maybe you hate lines, but you still want a taste of Austin's largest annual assembly of live music? There are options. Fader Fort is livestreaming four days of live music performances in ultrahigh definition. Dell is organizing the technology and says it's the first time a concert has been livestreamed online in 4K. "You're going from HD to basically four HD-sized screens, so you're quadrupling the detail," Dell's Scott Hamilton says of 4K technology. "This just takes it to the next level." In Photos: A Look Back at the Early Days of SXSW By Andrew Weber • Mar 18, 2015 Austin History Center Today marks the beginning of SXSW Music — the final stretch of the three-headed chimera of a festival that draws in droves of music-loving revelers and fills the streets of downtown Austin with both music and traffic. Texas Gospel Group Shines in New Film at SXSW By Laura Rice • Mar 18, 2015 facebook.com/thejonesfamilysingers The Jones Family Singers is made up in part of five sisters, two brothers and their father. The gospel music band is based in Bay City, Texas – outside of Houston. For the last several decades, the Jones Family Singers have been touring churches and winning singing competitions. But it wasn't until recently that the group started getting some real attention. That's thanks in major part to music critic Michael Corcoran. Austin-based Arts and Labor produced an album last year. And now, their story is being told in a film getting its world premiere at South by Southwest: The Jones Family Will Make a Way. Lifestyle Startups Gain Attention at SXSW, But Can They Survive? By Kate McGee • Mar 17, 2015 KUT News Earlier this year, a sometimes-fierce debate broke out between students at Austin High School and the head of an Austin company called #BeSomebody. The company makes money by encouraging people to follow their passions. But when the company's founder came to speak at the school, the students criticized his message as privileged and disconnected from reality. Controversy aside, it got us thinking about these lifestyle tech startups — ones based on ideas or messages rather than products and services. Can they survive? One Year After the SXSW Crash, A Survivor Returns to the Hospital to Say 'Thank You' By Joy Diaz • Mar 17, 2015 Jon Shapley/KUT News Mason Endres still needs a knee brace to walk. She's one of the 23 survivors of the car crash that killed four people at South by Southwest last year. Endres set aside this morning to visit St. David's Hospital and thank the staff for her recovery. May Endres, Mason's mom, corralled a big group of doctors and nurses for a photo. SXSW Film: Day Five from The Daily Buzz By Irene Cho • Mar 17, 2015 Courtesy of the film It was drizzling this morning in Texas on Day Five of The Daily Buzz at SXSW Film. If you were walking by our broadcasting studio on N. Congress Ave. earlier today, you may have heard violin and cello strings being tuned as we talked with Christine Vachon from Killer Films, award-winning producer of Boys Don't Cry, Far From Heaven and, most recently, Still Alice. Interview: Texan's Powerful Films on Lasting Effects of Indonesia's Genocide By Laura Rice • Mar 17, 2015 Cody Rea for Texas Standard. From Texas Standard: The SXSW Film Conference marks a sort of homecoming for MacArthur genius and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer's 2012 film, The Act of Killing, looks at how the perpetrators of Indonesia's military coup cope with their past. His new documentary, The Look of Silence, follows victims of the coup and how they continue to live alongside the people who killed their family members. Inside Texas Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez's SXSW-Exclusive Downtown Art Museum By Laura Rice • Mar 17, 2015 Cody Rea for Texas Standard From Texas Standard: Robert Rodriguez is one of Texas' most high-profile contemporary filmmakers — best known for Sin City, Spy Kids and From Dusk Till Dawn among other films. So, why has he set up a temporary art museum in Austin? Rodriguez has taken over a space near the Capitol and has lined the exposed brick walls with framed work by fantasy artist Frank Frazetta. Rodriguez says when he was a kid growing up in San Antonio, he devoured Frazetta's work – which showed up on the covers of comic books and paperbacks including "Conan the Barbarian," "Tarzan" and "The Death Dealer." Some of the art in the downtown space once even hung on his bedroom wall. SXSW Film: Day Four from The Daily Buzz By Irene Cho • Mar 16, 2015 Courtesy of the film It's Day Four of The Daily Buzz at the Historic Stateside Theatre, and there's excitement brewing at the Paramount in anticipation of the 30th anniversary screening of John Hughes' The Breakfast Club.

Rachel Zoe, Chris Brown & a Blizzard
So back to topics of interest. A pilot program that would allow New Yorkers to hail yellow cabs by using a smartphone application was blocked by a judge on Thursday, handing the upper hand to those black "private car" companies that said the program threatens their business. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Carol Huff granted a request from the livery companies to freeze the new "e-hail" application that had been scheduled to begin today. The "freeze" will be in effect until March 18th when the two sides are due to return to court and argue the merits of a lawsuit brought by the black cab (livery companies) against New York City. The E-hail app would allow people to use there phone and hail a cab. Taxi drivers would be able to receive such requests and confirm pickup locations. I personally think this would be wonderful and beneficial to every New Yorker, and hope that the application gets the "go-ahead" to become live.
Did you finally adjust to Facebook's timeline? Don't get to comfortable. Facebook is yet again getting a new "face". The social networking website unveiled its new design yesterday during a news conference at its Menlo Park California headquarters. The redesign aims to combat news feed clutter and features a more stream lined interface, putting an emphasis on photos. The new minimalist design will be similar to the Facebook application, than the current layout online. "A lot of what your seeing is a very mobile-designed ethos"- Chris Cox (Facebook's Vice President of product) told reporters. The mobile based look aims to create more of a consistency, between all platforms. "Its amazing how much more modern and clean this feels just because we've adopted tablet and phone properties" states Cox. Additional features include pictures and maps for "check-ins" and a follows feed which will now allow users to tailor the content appearing in their news feed. The last major update to Facebook was in September of 2011. Since then the company has incorporated advertisements directly into the feed and has shifted its focus to creating more of a mobile experience because people now access the social network from their smartphones and tablets opposed from computers.
So enough about technology and lets talk celebs . Chris Brown and Rihanna have been all over the website, magazine covers and of course TMZ. So what's this with Chris brown flipping out over $10? It's no shock that Chris Brown has anger issues, but does he also have money issues? According to TMZ, the volatile singer supposedly flipped out over a $10 parking charge Wednesday night, throwing threats at the parking attendee who notified Brown of the fee. The incident occurred after Brown went to a bowling alley in Studio City California for a charity event. Since he was only at the event for half an hour, he felt like he shouldn't have to pay anything. Apparently someone in his entourage was heard trying to calm Chris down, offering to pay, but Chris was overhead saying "We gonna turn this whole thing on out, F-----g ten dollars". Calm down Chris! It's hardly going to make a dent in your wallet.
As everyone was going "bananas" over the return of Rachel Zoe's show, I was more surprised that Bravo was premiering both "The Rachel Zoe Project" and her former assistant(Brad Goreski's) new show "It's a Brad, Brad world". Both Rachel and Brad are still not on speaking terms. "She doesn't speak to me and that's fine" Goreski told Andy Cohen, he also added that "My door's always open. At the moment that's not her choice". Lets just hope Andy doesn't try to bring the two together for a reunion on his show "Andy Cohen live".

Cottle faced a maximum jail sentence of 10 years.Cottle's attorney, Peter D. Greenspun, argued that forensic and anecdotal evidence could not account for what, exactly, happened inside the bedroom of Smiler and Cottle on the night that he died. Devine didn't quite agree, and didn't allow for the suspended imposition of Cottle's sentence that Greenspun argued for."When that gun was placed at Dirk's head, I believe were at the other end of the trigger," said Judge Devine.

[Plugin: PZChineseChop] Terrible Plugin
This is a horrible plugin that has never worked for me no matter which version of WP that I have used over the past year.
The installation is simple enough but what is the point of installing something that doesn't work and all it shows in the config area is the default chop.
The author needs to write a php script that will allow the user to type in their own name and the script will generate the proper chop.
I would NEVER recomment this plug in to anyone but my worst enemy.

A story relayed to me by this little girl's dad. At the breakfast table one morning, her dad told her they would have to get her a bigger bed soon (she's in a toddler bed), and the little girl began to cry. She said, "But, Daddy, I love my bed. I'm your little girl. I don't want to grow up." Something I wish I had known more about when I was her age.

My mother and father are apoetic so I think all of these words
must have manifested inside me like a bacterial spread. The first time I heard
Our Father Who Art In Heaven I thought, my father does not Art in Heaven,
unless you count starting up computer software companies as creative. Also
he's alive and also, screw heaven. Art in Heaven won't mean anything
because surely, we can't carry over contention.
On afterlife, as long as we're pretending, I'll say hell I believe in.
Late at night when I think about what I'm doing with my self
and my bacterial word infection and I have friends with jobs
at some big company – which I would like to take the time now to say
I'm smart enough and could do that too and better, probably –
all I feel in the dark is a chattering of grins and teeth, and I try to laugh
back at them, like a homeless insolvent would laugh at me.
Isn't poetry just like peeing on everything so our smell hangs around later,
acrid and deeply felt? Right here I'd rather scupper the thoughts and turn over,
saying fuck the poem, there never was a poem here, just some lost sounds
that jump you like the fall before stage one sleep. I've felt bad about pretending
not to have my sanity, like that one time I dressed as a punk for Halloween
and a wall-leaner yelled that's just my life, man as I passed him on the street.
Let me keep bringing my best until all that's left behind is the worst,
just the fats and sugars to distill into this verse. I will praise platitudes.
Life is sweet. It oscillates from young light to opaque weight and in the mix,
we are still gifted burning glances and kitchen mornings and deep sleep.
More or less, there is a fear of death, which begets a fear of being forgotten,
which is why we do anything, unless it's for sex. I wish someone would believe me
when I say I don't do anything for sex – just for credibility.

Barrow of the Forgotten King II
A balcony on the west wall overlooks this wide room, which is lower and cooler than the previous areas you've explored, and a steep staircase leads from the balcony's north side into the chamber. Atop that stairway is a closed stone door. Swiftly flowing water runs in a canal that flows south to north through the area, and the moisture has made the room damp, the walls and floor slick with malodorous subterranean fungus. A narrow bridge crosses the canal at the foot of the stairs from the balcony. Flanking the canal on the east and west are rows of statues depicting shieldbearing soldiers saluting with their drawn swords. On the east side of the canal, two of the statues are shattered. Nearby lie the bodies of two humanoids.
[Heal Check 24] Novia is able to determine that one of the humanoids (who, now that she gets a close look, look a lot like the strange tall goblinoids from before) died of hypothermia. It seems as though the other person died the same way.
Delgar finds a lot of phat lewt on his body masterwork studded leather, masterwork scimitar, a shortbow and 7 arrows, a satchel, a glass vial, and some jewelry. It seems as though the other body contains the same treasure.
I can see a door at the top of those stairs,
" Morningmist rumbles, pointing toward the east wall and the door that can currently only be seen with darkvision or low-light vision dur to the placement of the torch. "
Should we perhaps investigate that, or do you wish to look around this chamber a bit more? I must admit to some curiosity as to the statues and whether the dead creatures smashed them for some purpose - and whether their mischief directly resulted in the manner of their deaths. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable might be able to tell us something about the statues?
Morningmist will peer into the water.
Kerri looks around a bit passively while the others search
Perhaps searching this room well would be a good idea. It's rather odd, I think
she says, knowing that she can't help much with that
Novia frowns. "
This is strange. It looks like he froze to death, but I don't think it's nearly cold enough in here for that.
The Chilli God
As Morningmist stares into the water, she is surprised to find that it is staring back at her!
A graceful serpent of clear water rises from the canal, making a sound that resembles bubbling speech. It seems to say, "More intruders. Leave this place the way you came, or face the price of your folly, as have those before you."
The water spirit makes no move to attack just yet. It seems open to talk.
WW: Water Spirit thingy needs Knowledge (Arcana) to identify.

Morningmist hides her startlement quickly. "
We hae nae wish tae disturb the rightful rest of those interred here, but seek to find those who have raised the bones of the departed into undead abomination, to prevent them from further defiling these grounds with their unholy powers.
((This said, someone -
- else should be doing this. Morningmist has a Diplomacy score of -1 ))
Kerri blinks, a bit surprised as the serpent rises. Then quickly agrees with Morningmist
That is true. We are not here to defile or steal, but to hunt down those who would.
Not that her +2 to diplomacy is such a big difference. But she doesn't have to even bluff in this case.
Of course, she is a little better at bluffing than at diplomacy. Even better at intimidation, but that should probably be saved for the last option.
The Chilli God
[Diplomacy check 18] The serpentine water creature nods slightly at the mention of the 'defilers,' and says after Morningmist and Kerri have presented their case, "Very well. If you pursue those who have thwarted me, good luck on your quest. Leave me."
The spirit then retreats back into the canal and disappears in the water the without a trace, leaving the group free to go wherever they please.
Wow, what an exciting encounter!
((Hey, it's nice to be able to avoid a fight now and again.
((Sometimes. Not too often, though. Action is needed too
Kerri shrugs
What an odd thing, but we seem to have uncovered the mystery of this room and the bodies there. Let's move on.
she says and does so, going to investigate the door on top of the stairs
Destro Yersul
Probably made 't mad by destroying the statues.
Delgar is busy stuffing jewelry into the satchel he found on that corpse. It seems he's foregone the scimitar once again in favour of his longsword.
What can I say, he likes the shinies.
The Chilli God
The jewelry on that one corpse is worth about 100g. Delgar might not know that, but his player should.
Kerri checks the door to the east of the room. The door is solid stone, closed, and locked as well.
El Jaspero
((Sorry...I'm on the road again. I'll work on getting Haemus when I get back this weekend.))
Morningmist rumbled irritably at the discovery of another locked stone door.
Times like this, do you know what I wish I had on me? Acid. Alchemist's Fire is all very good, but it doesn't do squat against stone or metal hardly worth thinking about. A good full flask of acid, though, you can eat through a lock with that right proper, s'long as you don't mind the stench of it. Do any of you happen to have some, maybe?
Surely we should try picking it first before wasting valuable acid
Kerri says, while glancing down the corridor they didn't come from
Destro Yersul
Don't have 'ny 'cid, but I can have a go 't that with a lockpick.
Which he does.
The Chilli God
And it seems as though this door is just as stubborn as the last one, as Delgar finds himself unable to successfully pick the lock.
Kerri sighs and kicks the door slightly
I suppose we'll have to bash this one down too...
or waste a bottle of acid
The Chilli God
*Nudges at the huge-ass quantity of unknown vials in a sack obtained from last looting*
Hmmm, maybe that fellow we killed earlier had something on him that might do the trick ... in that massive collection of vials?
Destro Yersul
Maybe, but 'm not tasting them to find out what's what.
Delgar finds the sack of vials and starts looking through it.
None 'f these 're 'ven labeled...
We're looking for acid, right? Maybe just drip a little on the ground.
" Novia suggests.
Better yet - drip it on the lock. If the lock starts melting, keep pouring.
Destro Yersul
'lright, we'll try that.
Delgar picks a vial at random, uncorks it, and lets a little of the contents drip onto the locking mechanism of the door. If it starts reacting in a generally destructive way, he'll dump the rest on it.
The Chilli God
The first vial that Delgar randomly selected is... Alchemist's fire.
Luckily, being a savvy dungeon explorer, Delgar knows alchemist's fire when he sees it, so he doesn't uncork the vial and blow himself up.
Kerri hmms and decides to step a bit away from the zone of experimenting... and goes down that corridor they didn't come from, to see if there's anything down there. Just to pass time and get away from any possible explosions or poison gasses.
Destro Yersul
'k, not that 'ne. Though I might throw 't 't the next gribbly we come 'cross.
He picks another one to try, preferably different looking than the first.
The Chilli God
This second vial, containing a fizzy blue liquid, doesn't do anything when dripped over the lock. Probably a magic potion or something.
Delgar rules out any vial that looks like that second one, and picks out another vial. This one causes the lock to hiss slightly. Delgar may have just found his acid.
Kerri walks along the balcony on the east side of the room. The wall on the inside of the balcony only reaches about 2-1/2 feet high so Kerri has a nice view of the whole room. Other than that, though, there's nothing much else of interest.
Destro Yersul
Might have 't.
Delgar empties the one that hisses on the lock, and another that looks like it if that one isn't enough.
Kerri walks back, but keeps a distance to the supposed acid
The Chilli God
One of two things happen: either the lock falls off completely, or the lock has gotten its inner workings munted by the acid enough for Delgar to finish the lock off with his lockpick. It depends on whether or not the lock is part of the door itself, the book never said.
Either way, the door is now unlocked and can be opened as soon as one of you is brave enough to do it.
Morningmist nods in amusement. "
Told ye,
" she muttered under her breath, then opened the door.
The Chilli God
The door opens without any further hassle.
This area beyond is a hall stretching from the southwest to the northeast. Statues along the eastern wall represent different figures, and each one is placed in front of a vault door. The nearest portrays a human wizard, holding her staff aloft. Second is a dwarf cleric brandishing a symbol of Moradin. The third and fourth are twin elves, one an archer aiming a bow and the other a warrior wielding a rapier and a dagger. A single stone door is set near the center of the western wall.
The hallway continues into the darkness for most of you, but Morningmist can see with her low-light vision that there are statues appearing to be made of black onyx, to the east and west of an eastern stone door at the end of the hallway. Depicting human warriors, they hold halberds crossed above the door.
Methinks there be a theme to this chamber,
" Morningmist mused as she crossed the threshold and began moving toward H6 in a defensive posture (full defense, which is also why she's only moving as far as H6).
Kerri hmms and follows Morningmist to H7
Destro Yersul
What sort 'f theme?
Delgar is right behind them, with his sword and torch.
Ehm. Sort of a ... classical theme. Y' 'ave your mage, your priest, your roguish/scoutish types ... and a pair of big solid bruiser warrior types flank the door y' cannae see yet. The fact that the other door lacks any such guardian actually strikes me as worrisome.
The Chilli God
Just to be sure, nothing bad has happened to the group yet.
Morningmist will move toward L10 along the diagonal in full defensive posture. If the torchlight doesn't let normal folks see that far, she'll stop in the last square they consider brightly lit along that path.
The Chilli God
Morningmist moves without obstruction further down the hallway, stopping outside the un-'protected' door.
Delgar also moves forward so he can keep her within his torchlight. He can now also see the dim outlines of the soldiers at the end of the hallway that Morningmist was talking about. So can the rest of the group, provided they move up a bit.
Destro Yersul
Maybe it's not a tomb, 'nd 'll the 'thers 're. Would make sense, having statues 'f the deceased 'utside their final resting spot, 's guards, but 'f there's no-one buried 'n there...
Delgar shrugs.
Novia nods in agreement. "
It could simply lead to another room, which might hold more burial chambers.
" She suggests, following behind the others.
((Move to H6 just to keep up))
((Hold position in full defensive for now))
So, suggest we check out the 'unguarded' door,
" she inquires with a jerk of thumb toward the door she stood near, "
Kerri moves to K10, eyeing the statues warily as she goes
I agree, lets see what is behind this door first.
Destro Yersul
Who wants to bet this 'nes locked too?
Delgar grins at the door and tries to open it.
The Chilli God
All bets are off. The door opens without a hitch.
It leads to a corridor that has some stairs going downwards, turning at several points until it looks as though it's heading westwards.
Morningmist paused as she considered the room again.
These four doors ... th' statue is placed direct in front of. Tae suggest th' doors would hae no need to be opened. Liken might each be just a sort of standing coffin or th' like for th' remains of th' one interred. But this door over here ... i' flanked by two statues tha' dae nae obstruct the door proper; perhap' suggesting what beyond might be a grander affair, a tomb or chamber of importance. As for th' stairs, call it bein' old fashioned, if y' like, but I prefer tae check out all of a given area before I set off into what could be an entire new sector.
((Also, full defensive, 5 foot step to M10 if it's large enough for a player to move into.))
Kerri nods very slightly. For some reason, likely not much of a reason at all, she didn't like being in agreement with Morningmist. But then, the half-giant did have a point.
I suppose we should examine the other doors here first.
Destro Yersul
Makes perfect sense to me. Don't want to be waltzing 'ff down staircases with potential 'nkown gribblies 't our backs, now do we?
The Chilli God
Yes, but nobody's jumping up to the chance to open up those vault doors and risk the ire of the dead, now do they?
El Jaspero
[[gribblies? nice one!]]
Sae. Should we open th' door there,
" pointing to the door flanked by two statues, "
or no?
We can always go down the stairs later. Let's see what's behind the other door.
The Chilli God
Ah, but everybody's too scared to open the 'guarded' door for themselves as well, it seems.
((In the interests of moving the bloody game along...))
Morningmist approaches the door in full defensive (round 1)
Morningmist, in full defensive again, uses a move action to try and open the door (round 2)
Obviously, if something attacks at any point during these proceedings, we'll have to play it by ear.
The Chilli God
The good news is, nothing nasty surprises Morningmist as she tries to open the door.
The bad news is, the door is locked.
Kerri follows behind Morningmist slowly and stands there. Another locked door, it seemed. Kerri thinks to herself that it would be so much easier if they had keys.
Whatever did happen to that keyring?
Destro Yersul
((Which keyring? Delgar might have it, but I forget...))
The Chilli God
The keyring? Why, that was left behind with the old party.
Not that this party'd know that, but that's where it is.
So back in the pit with the water and the beasty? Joy...
Novia frowns. "
Why bother to lock things hidden behind a secret door?
Kerri shrugs
Perhaps things will make more sense when we get further into this place.
One can always hope.
Destro Yersul
Because the people who built this place were suspicious twitchy buggers? 'nywasy, not so secret that we can't find 't.
Delgar goes hunting through his bags for his lockpicks. Hadn't worked for the previous doors, but it was only a matter of time before they found one with a shoddy enough lock.
Failing that, he'll see if there's another vial of acid somewhere in that satchel.
The Chilli God
Only a matter of time, yes, but that time isn't now. The lock is the same as all the other stubborn locks, and won't budge.
Delgar tries to find a vial of acid amongst all the other vials in the bag of vials, but it looks like there was only one of them in there (which was the one they already used), and Delgar can't find any more of them in the bag.
Doors. The bane of all inquisitive adventurers.
Well, there's always the slow and noisy method,
" Morningmist observed with a bit of annoyance. "
So, do we want to bash / hack our way through or go downstairs after all?
Kerri reaches for her flail
Might as well get this one over with now that we're here, right?
Destro Yersul
'ctually, now that I think 'f 't, Probably not the best of'deas. We did say we wouldn't defile 'ny tombs 'r 'nything like that, 'fter 'll. Let 't stay locked.
El Jaspero
Haemus nods.
We might find keys later, one never knows. Best to leave the tombs be, while we can.
Kerri shrugs and puts her flail away
I doubt they meant this place, though. I find it highly unlikely that those townsfolk know of this place at all, the way it was hidden
she says and draws her falchion again
But we can always return if we find nothing the other way
she says and heads back on to the first door
The Chilli God
The first door(way) is still there, awaiting someone to walk through it.
Well, then, Let's have Novia head for the open door.
Morningmist rumbled in mild irritation, but nodded assent.
'y. Let's bloody well be going already.
Kerri waits for Novia to go through the door, then follows behind, once again prefering to have someone at her front and back in case of traps or ambushes.
Morningmist will follow Kerri, confident in her ability to get to the front line if needs be.
Destro Yersul
And Delgar goes with them, muttering about inadequate tools.
The Chilli God
Just before Novia goes through the door, her wolf makes a warning growl. It's probably caught a scent down there, one it doesn't like.
Her wolf might be right, because Novia can hear someone moving up the corridor. Whoever it is, though, it won't catch her off-guard.
Kerri pauses at the wolf's growling and tightens her grip on her sword
Something down there?
she asks quietly, mostly directed at Novia
Someone's coming.
" Novia whispers in return, moving back to try hide behind the doorframe, or at least out of sight of anyone coming up the corridor. She signals for her wolf to get back as well.
(("Move Silently" to M11. Assume Full Defensive Posture))
The Chilli God
A tall, ratlike humanoid dressed in black leather studded with dark iron leaps from the shadows of the downstairs corridor, a black cloak and long hair trailing behind. Its rapier and prominent fangs flash as it rushes in.
Novia would immediately recognize this humanoid as a lycanthrope, a humanoid afflicted with or born with a disease that grants them the ability to change partly or fully into another animal - in this case, a rat. The creature's wounds heal almost immediately if they are not caused by a weapon made of silver, and their bite can transfer this disease.
Wr - Wererat.
Statues: Cost 2 squares of movement to enter, cannot end movement in a statue unless climbing it (Climb DC 15).
Gradual Stairs: Gain +1 to hit against opponents on lower ground.
Finally, more fighting! =D
((Ahh, crap ... no silver weapons in my stash. This is gonna be a bad fight for Morningmist.))
If/when informed of the nature of the foe, Morningmist will pull out a flask of alchemist fire (move action) and hold an action to launch it at the creature when she can see it. She'll take a free action before to say, "
Bastard'll burn well enough though
>.> A little retroactively...
Lycanthrope. Only silver can wound them, and for gods' sakes, don't get bitten.
" Novia warns.
Kerri frowns
Next thing I buy'll be a silver sword
. She will wait until it gets within reach, then she'll lash out at it with her sword. Best to test the enemy a little before resorting to special attacks
Destro Yersul
Delgar doesn't have much in the way of a method to damage it either, so he'll be off to the side a bit, digging through that bag of his for some of that alchemist's fire he noticed earlier. Fur burns well, y'see.
El Jaspero
Haemus eyes the critter nervously, but readies his axe in case it proves hostile.
The Chilli God
It proves hostile.
Round 1
Novia's wolf growls louder and bars its teeth, as if wanting to be let loose against this opponent.
Delgar steps off to the side and finds what he's looking for in the bag after a bit of searching - a flask of alchemist's fire.
The wererat finishes rushing up the stairs, bringing everyone into view, and stabs out at Kerri with its rapier, an attack which catches her off-guard and almost punctures a critical point in her body [6 damage]. The wererat also tries to bite her with its exaggerated ratlike teeth, but Kerri is able to fend off that attack rather easily.
Kerri responds with trying to slice the wererat up with her sword, [To hit 12] but the wererat is able to dodge the attack.
Morningmist retrieves a flask of alchemist's fire from her own personal supply, and is ready to throw it at the wererat.
Haemus might want to do a bit more than ready his axe at this stage.
Wolf (Init 17): 10/13 hp
Novia (Init 15): 16/16 hp
Delgar (Init 14): 14/14 hp
Wererat: Unwounded
Kerri (Init 12): 21/21 hp
Morningmist (Init 4): 11/11 hp
Haemus (Init 3): 18/18 hp
Novia signals for her wolf to attack, then takes a good grip on her staff and tries to whack the wererat over the head.
[Free Action] Morningmist growls out, "
Fire inna hole!
" and
[Standard Action] throws the alchemist fire at the creature, trying to score a direct hit.
[5-Foot Step] to M10.
Kerri is in a bit of an unfortunate situation, and the stab didn't make her any happier. She responds with a scream, letting out that anger in a sonic assault on the wererat ((Sonic Energy Ray))
Destro Yersul
Delgar throws his vial of Alchemist's fire as well, hoping his aim isn't off.
The Chilli God
Terribly sorry for the wait.
Round 2
Novia's wolf holds back no more, and launches itself against the wererat. [To hit 17] However, the cunning opponent is able to fend off the wolf's attack.
Novia herself tries to whack the wererat over the head with her staff. [To hit 13] However, she meets with little success as her attack is dodged.
Delgar (whos name is most certainly not Deckard) throws his alchemist's fire at the wererat. [Touch To hit 16] He manages to hit the enemy square on [3 Fire damage], and sets part of its body on fire. Some of the volatile substance splashes the surrounding area, burning those adjacent to the wererat, including Novia, Novia's wolf, and Kerri [1 fire damage].
The wererat responds by ignoring the fire and lashing out at Kerri again. It is able to get a hit with its rapier against Kerri [5 damage]. It also tries to bite Kerri, but she is able to fend off that attack. It then finds an opening spot to move to, and deftly steps there, closer to where the statues are.
Kerri responds by unleashing a scream of concentrated fury, which assaults the wererat. [Touch to hit 17] The wererat is blasted back a bit by the unexpected move [3 sonic damage].
Morningmist calls her warning out before tossing her vial of alchemist's fire into the mix. [Touch to hit 8] However, the wererat is able to avoid being hit by this vial, although the splashing of the alchemical substance burns everyone around him, including Kerri, Delgar, Novia's wolf, and Haemus [1 fire damage].
Haemus does nothing, since his player never posted.
Meanwhile the alchemist's fire that Delgar applied burns out on the wererat's flesh [5 fire damage].
Wolf: 8/13 hp
Novia: 15/16 hp
Delgar: 13/14 hp
Wererat (Wounded)
Kerri: 14/21 hp
Morningmist: 11/11 hp
Haemus: 17/18 hp
Destro Yersul
((I SEE NO ERRORS! especially not in the name of my own character
. I deny that I was very tired when I made that post, and I further deny that all my characters have names that start with 'D'))
Delgar takes a step back, going through the bag again. Maybe there was another one? Or something else? Maybe there was some alchemical silver in there....
El Jaspero
Huh. Sorry 'bout that.
Since axe is ready and wererat is in range, Haemus will take a swing.
Free action: Morningmist mutters something in Giant under her breath after her volley goes wide, "Soon as I get th' little bastard, th' rest o' you gut 'im good," she says.
5-foot step to L9.
Standard Action: Then will initiate a grapple against the wererat. No flank, sadly, so standard bonuses apply:
Initiate Grapple: +3 melee touch; +11 opposed grapple
Kerri will take a firm grip on her sword and attack the rat again.
If the bonus for doing so will carry on to next round and apply when the rat might try to hit her again (stupid initiative), Kerri will fight defensively, having this feeling that she could use a little extra AC. If the bonus would not apply against the rat's next attack, she won't bother. ((The way I interpret those rules the bonus won't apply, but I'll let you decide because I'm not sure))

The Chilli God
[OOC]Again, sincere apoligies. I'll try and move this thing along a tad faster in future.[/OOC]
Round 3
Novia's wolf attacks the wererat [To hit 8], but meets with little success.
Novia does nothing since her player never posted.
Delgar steps back and manages to find another alchemist's fire inside the sack. It doesn't look like there are very many of those left, though.
The wererat turns and tries to scrabble up the statue just behind it, deftly twisting to avoid any attacks made, but it fails to get a grip on the stone holdings.
Turning around in frustration, he takes it out again on Kerri, but the attack was wildly made and misses entirely.
Kerri responds with her own slice, moving to get flanking with Haemus and fighting defensively to hopefully avoid further injuries [To hit 12], but the wererat is able to parry the assault.
Morningmist moves into the fray and tries to grapple the wererat [Touch to hit 6], but she can't get a decent hold on the critter.
Haemus slashes out at the wererat with his battleaxe [To hit 18], but is also unsuccessful in his attempt to hit.
Wolf: 8/13 hp
Novia: 15/16 hp
Delgar: 13/14 hp
Wererat (Wounded)
Kerri: 14/21 hp
Morningmist: 11/11 hp
Haemus: 17/18 hp
Oooh, I get flank bonus. Neat.
If wererat still within 5 feet and Morningmist is flanking:
Standard Action: Initiate Grapple
If wererat still within 5 feet and Morningmist is not flanking:
If possible, 5-foot step into a flanking position
Standard Action: Initiate Grapple
If wererat within 10 feet of Morningmist, spend 1 PP from Cognizance Crystal to activate Reach Gauntlets. Initiate Grapple. 5 foot step to become adjacent.
If wererat otherwise out of reach, move action to get into grapple range, standard action to initiate grapple.
Kerri takes a 5-foot step to m11, then digs into her bag to find that vial of acid she'd forgotten about again and again. She then aims the small glass of acid at the rat before throwing it, hoping it will have more effect than her recent attempt to hit the thing
((Whoops. Sorry, Chilli, meant to post something today, actually.))
Novia steps up to trade places with her wolf in order to be able to hit the Wererat.

In The Crucible, why doesn't Elizabeth trust Proctor to go alone to Salem to report what Abigail has told him?
- print Print
- list Cite
1 Answer
Early in The Crucible John Proctor is contrite with his wife Elizabeth and seeks her forgiveness for the affair he had with Abigail Williams.
At the beginning of the play, Proctor attempts to convince Abigail that their affair is completely over and that she should expect nothing more from him. During this conversation, Abigail tells Proctor why Betty is in bed, suggesting that Betty is not really sick at all.
She tells him that it is all pretense and that Betty is just scared.
This knowledge becomes important when accusations of witchcraft begin to be made against townspeople. Proctor tells Elizabeth what Abigail had told him and Elizabeth insists that Proctor share his knowledge with the authorities before things could get out of hand.
Proctor believes that the truth will soon enough come out on its own, but Elizabeth insists that he go to Salem. When he refuses Elizabeth believes that he is trying to protect Abigail. Her suspicions are an outgrowth of her jealousy and pain at having been cheated on by John Proctor. She is not confident that the affair is completely over, despite Proctor's repeated claims that it is now ended.

The controversy over Syrian refugees misses the question we should be asking
The jihad waged by radical Islam rips at France from within. The two mass-murder attacks this year that finally induced President Francois Hollande to concede a state of war are only what we see.
Unbound by any First Amendment, the French government exerts pressure on the media to suppress bad news. We do not hear much about the steady thrum of insurrection in the banlieues: the thousands of torched automobiles, the violence against police and other agents of the state, the pressure in Islamic enclaves to ignore the sovereignty of the Republic and conform to the rule of sharia.
What happens in France happens in Belgium. It happens in Sweden where much of Malmo, the third largest city, is controlled by Muslim immigrant gangs — emergency medical personnel attacked routinely enough that they will not respond to calls without police protection, and the police in turn unwilling to enter without back-up. Not long ago in Britain, a soldier was killed and nearly beheaded in broad daylight by jihadists known to the intelligence services; dozens of sharia courts now operate throughout the country, even as Muslim activists demand more accommodations. And it was in Germany, which green-lighted Europe's ongoing influx of Muslim migrants, that Turkey's Islamist strongman Recep Tayyip Erdogan proclaimed that pressuring Muslims to assimilate in their new Western countries is "a crime against humanity."
RELATED: Obama's Moral Hypocrisy on the Syrian-Refugee Question Is Astounding
So how many of us look across the ocean at Europe and say, "Yeah, let's bring some of that here"?
None of us with any sense. Alas, "bring it here" is the order of the day in Washington, under the control of leftists bent on fundamentally transforming America (Muslims in America overwhelmingly support Democrats) and the progressive-lite GOP, which fears the "Islamophobia" smear nearly as much as the "racist" smear.
This, no doubt, is why what is described as the "controversy over Syrian refugees" is among the most deceitful public debates in recent memory — which, by Washington standards, is saying something.
RELATED: There Are Serious, Unbigoted Reasons to Be War of a Flood of Syrian Refugees
Under a Carter administration scheme, the Refugee Admissions Program, the United States has admitted hundreds of thousands of aliens since 1980 — and, as the Center for Immigration Studies explains, asylum petitions have surged since the mid-Nineties. If there is a refugee "crisis," it most certainly is no fault of ours: For example, the U.S. took in two-thirds of the world's refugees resettled in 2014, with Canada a distant second, admitting about 10 percent.
Those figures come from an invaluable briefing by Refugee Resettlement Watch, which illustrates that the Syrian component is but a fraction of what we must consider. Tens of thousands of what are called "refugees" have come to our shores from Muslim-majority countries. From Iraq alone, the number is 120,000 since 2007, notwithstanding the thousands of American lives and hundreds of billions of American taxpayer dollars sacrificed to make Iraq livable.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan…

Each year millions of people fall prey to Hay Fever or Springtime allergies. When the last snow has melted and the trees start to bloom, pollen from different plants get airborne. While some of us can't wait for winter to be over welcoming the warming sun of springtime, others just wish they could skip springtime, mainly due to the symptoms that accompany them for the course of several weeks. People allergic to pollen are being attacked with symptoms such as sneezing, watery and itchy eyes, coughing.
Every year more and more people have to put up with hay fever or springtime allergies, mainly because of an increased level of pollution decreasing the body's ability to fight it off.
Pollen is the best known spring allergy trigger. This tiny dust is released into the air by different plants depending on the season. Once a person allergic to pollen breathes in these tiny dust particles, they start to sneeze, rub their eyes. Some even have asthmatic attacks. While the immune system thinks that the pollen is a foreign invader it releases antibodies to fight those foreign invaders. These antibodies then attack the allergens. This action causes the release of histamines into the blood. To cunter the attack, most often, people are given anti-histamine medication.
The absolutely best remedy to fight hay fever is the combination of aloe vera juice with bee pollen. Bee pollen is the superfood produced by the bees that can eventually eliminate seasonal allergies while aloe vera softly cleanses the digestive tract and also acts as a transport medium for the bee pollen.
Bee pollen acts as a desentizer. It slowly gets the body used to the histamine which will gradually lower the histamine attacks in spring time. For this to be effective, bee pollen should be started in late fall to early winter. Start slowly with one courter tablet and increase it slowly, eventually taking the maximum dosage. Combine it with aloe vera juice.
Since you know exactly when your allergy kicks in and since the first year you will still have symptoms, you need to stop with the bee pollen once allergies start as the body is now fighting off the histamine and doesn't need more of it. Once the allergy season has passed you can continue with bee pollen since bee pollen is also loaded with much needed nutrition.
Lots of research has been conducted with bee pollen and its effects on diseases. I could write an entire webpage on bee pollen alone because its effects it has on human health is truly amazing, from inhibiting the development of numerous harmful bacteria to fighting cancer, giving athletes more energy all the way to be the most effective remedy against the symptoms of hay fever.
I decided to put it to the test myself. Since aloe vera juice or gel acts like a catalyst multiplying the positive healing effects of bee pollen, we tried the bee pollen with aloe vera juice. The effects were springtime allergies without medications. You can read up on the personal research study about hay fever and how to go about implementing bee pollen and aloe vera juice for the purpose of fighting seasonal allergies.
A study done with patients suffering from allergies had tested the severity of allergies after a body detox. After build-up was removed, and the immune system was able to work more efficiently symptoms of allergy attacks were reduced significantly.
So if you are suffering from allergies it is a wise idea to do a body cleanse to eliminate most of the build-up inside your body. And to reduce the amount of recurring build-up and to support your health and reduce the symptoms of allergies year by year, daily aloe vera juice will help you get there.
Allergy season isn't fun for those that do suffer. Implementing a diet consisting of aloe vera juice and an herbal supplement can really reduce the symptoms significantly. Here are some additional helpful tips how to lessen the amount of pollen around you.
Remember: If you are planning to implement Aloe Vera Juice and bee pollen into your allergy-fighting regimen you must start taking those superfoods regularly, on a daily basis, starting during the wintermonths already. Most people report of having nearly elminated hay fever or seasonal allergies only after a few years of bee pollen. Most of them report a noticable difference already the first year.
Return from hay fever back to allergies

One of the fundamental parts of being successful in direct sales is feeling deeply passionate and connected to the products and company that you work with. With India Hicks, a new direct sales company which offers exclusive collections of well-crafted gifts, beauty, and accessories, you can represent a company who is passionate about helping women build something extraordinary. Each piece, designed by India herself and inspired by her British heritage, island life, and madcap daydreams, has a story.
Her godfather is the Prince of Wales and India was a bridesmaid at his wedding to Lady Diana. After graduating from the New England School of photography, she was hired by Ralph Lauren for her first modeling job. India lives on a small island in the Bahamas, with her partner and their five children. She has produced three lifestyle books and designed collections of bath & beauty products, bedding and jewelry in partnership with others, but realized the time had come to build a company on her own terms. Alongside two strong business-minded partners she launched her lifestyle brand: India Hicks. These collections are sold through networks of other entrepreneurial women, at home or one-to-one. Unencumbered by tradition, India has made bold life choices that inspire women to join her in the pursuit of an extraordinary life.
India has created a community, a tribe in her own words, of women empowering women with a lifestyle brand, not just an individual product line. India Hicks is an "affordable luxury" brand and there is something for everyone with prices starting at just $24. From handbags and totes to scarves to jewelry to body lotion, the India Hicks line appeals to everyone. Additionally, since this is a relatively new company there is a huge opportunity for growth.
India Hicks Ambassador Kits start at just $149 and include something from each of the product lines within the brand (bags, scarves, beauty, jewelry are all part of the line) as well as catalogs, a DVD, swatch book , order forms and a bag to carry it all. The back office is also included and has an AMAZING amount of information and support for the ambassadors. There are also incentives for your first 100 days called "Extraordinary Beginnings" and the opportunity to buy some items at 50% off when you first join to add to and personalize your starter kit.
Independent India Hicks Ambassador Dina Cerchione is passionate about the products and the opportunity she has found with India Hicks. Here is what she had to say about her business:
I am a television wardrobe stylist and have been looking for an opportunity to operate my own direct selling business for some time now. I feel like "India Hicks" has the style and quality that I have been looking for in a business and I love that there is attention to detail every step of the way, both out in public and "behind the curtains" as well. When choosing a brand to work with, one of the things that drew me to India Hicks is that she is telling a lifestyle story. The idea of affordable luxury also struck a cord with me. If I was putting my name behind a brand, I wanted it to be something I would actually buy and use and something I would be proud to be a part of…and I am. India Hicks truly embodies a sense of community and offers support in helping you to grow the business in an organic, fun and personal way.
You can learn more about how you can get involved with India Hicks by visiting Dina's website and be sure to also connect with her on Facebook, and Instagram.

Glowing Complexion, Chinese rockii tree peony
Name in Chinese and pin yin: 紅光滿面 Hong Guang Man Mian
Notable characteristics: Captivating single blossoms of pure white with the darkest, purple-black flares at the center. Flowers lack stamens, giving them an exotic appearance. Vigorous grower, our oldest specimen of this cultivar is about 12 years old and is now among the tallest and widest of any of the tree peonies planted here at Cricket Hill Garden. Deer resistant. Herbicide, pesticide, and fungicide free. Grown in Connecticut.
Hybridizer: Chen Fuhui of the Peace Peony Garden in Lanzhou, Gansu province, China, 2003.
Growth habit and size at maturity (10 years old): Upright and spreading, flowers held well above the foliage. Grows to 6' tall and 6' wide.
Flower form and size: Single to light semi-double, 6-8".
Flower fragrance: Sweet.
Bloom time: Late Mid-season tree peony, blooms in our USDA zone 6a garden in the last week of May and first week of June.
Zone hardiness: Proven in USDA zones 4-9. P. rockii cultivars are particularly drought resistant once established. We have had reports from gardeners in Texas that this variety has grown and bloomed well during the last two years of extreme drought and heat.
Plant size: 1 year old tree peonies have 1 woody stem and a proportional root system. This size plant will most likely flower its second spring in the ground.
When we ship: This plant will ship in FALL 2017. Order to reserve now! We operate like a CSA (community supported agriculture) where payment in received in advance of the harvest, and the produce is reserved for the customer. Our produce is our nursery stock, which can only be harvested in the fall, when the current season's growth is complete.
About us: Cricket Hill Garden is a family owned and operated nursery founded in 1989 and based in Connecticut. We propagate and grow the vast majority of the plants we sell. Most garden centers and nurseries do the opposite of this, 'buying in' and reselling most plants they offer. Growing our own stock allows us to offer the rare and unusual plants we sell as well as provide the highest quality plants to the discerning gardener. We do not use synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fungicides in our nursery production.

If I'm repeating myself, I apologize in advance.
I LOVE this cardigan. Finding it was an unexpected moment. While in Houston, during the Christmas holiday, a friend and I were at Rice Village. We happened to stop by the Gap. While we were both standing there, an employee walked passed by us and I couldn't help staring. She noticed it too and asked if I needed help. I wanted her sweater. It was on sale and there was literally 5 racks of them in grey, brown, and black. For $32, I should have bought all three colors but I resisted. If they had a million and one of them, surely the price will go down again and I can get myself more. So... I settled with just buying brown.
If I could (and not that I can't), I would be wearing it everyday. It is the most coziest thing to wear. I wear it at least 2 times a week.
Ready to buy the other two colors, I discovered that I couldn't. I probably called a half dozen stores with zero luck. How was that seriously possible? I also visited two stores. In two weeks, did everybody jump on the cozy cardigan bandwagon? It seems so because one person recognized it the first time I wore it to work and at one of the Gap stores I went to, a fat, old lady was wearing one. Ironically, that hasn't deterred my love for this cardigan.
I'm happy to say that I did score one more. I got another one in black (via online). I really wanted the grey one. We take what we can get, right? I'm hoping that a grey one in small shows up on eBay soon.

We know that Jesus says we have to become like children to inherit the Kingdom, (Matt 18:3); but what does that really mean? What are the attributes of the Kingdom that children carry more fully than adults? Children live with joy, walk in freedom, do not know how to carry offense and are continually in awe of the world around them. If the cry of our heart is to have more of the Kingdom, and we want it to be on earth as it is in Heaven (Matt 6:10), then we need to get serious about maturing into childlikeness.

'Lo everyone.
Well, that was interesting.
So, work yesterday, pretty quiet, half an hour before I could go I got so bored I lost myself in a storeroom.
Get home, get showered and ready for a bit of the old ultraviolence. Walked up, got some odd looks for the cane, then saw Potter and Louise on the corner in their outfits. They looked like hookers on the streetcorner, trying to get cars to toot. I think that's what they were going for.
Get to Jason's, meet up with the droogs, Aaron looks creepy as hell, Jason looks like a hooker, Jake's got a very very messed up mask on, Hayden's in a dress, and Isaac's got a bright orange jumpsuit. Girls looked pretty good too, Jess was a bit off her face already as a witch, Meg was a cat, Nemo was a pixie punk rocker. An old acquaintance came up and apologised profusely.
Then the rest slowly arrived. No one could take Aiden seriously in his batman suit (it was designed for a fatty, we concluded), Sam looked really scary with blood, gasmask, and giant bloody pickaxe, Kelly was a devil, Erin looked creepy, and Alison was an angel.
Lotta year nines there as well, surprised to see Ben Lawless as a nerd. They kept to themselves til we broke out the poker, which I didn't join. I've learnt my lesson.
Anyway. I was fairly responsible. Made a new friend called Jane, got to know her fairly quickly. Buttload of year tens rocked up from another party, they were unamused. Jason's mum went nuts at Josh Darby, and suddenly everyone was leaving, cept Sam and Isaac who were ridiculously wasted. Guess I was sorta sobering up by then.
Tagged along with Jordan, Alison, and another new mate Dylan, who were all a bit wasted to walk across town by themselves. We were headed to Jamie's house, but he was sticking with the others. Took us a while to get there, stuck around for a bit, then I headed out with Alison and Jordan to meet Alison's pommy mate. I said bugger it at that point, retreated back home to scare Beardman.
I should have stayed at Jason's a bit longer, I guess, but hell, the cops didn't get me, and I'm still alive. Very, very good night.
Made better by no hangover in the morning, of course. Arms were literally covered in mosquito bites. I look diseased. Well, more than usual.
Spent day trying not to get distracted on the internet, finished bio, finished media, nearly finished lit, and dunno what to do for history. Dunno what to do for a few things. Damn VLA.
Tomorrow's Monday, probably another bitchfest, there usually is. Meh. I'm tired. Not interested.

Artistic expression provides a valuable lens when considering a group's history and culture. It's with this mindset that the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts strives to increase the public's understanding and appreciation of Native cultures by exclusively displaying works created by Native American, First Nations, and other indigenous peoples. Although IAIA MoCNA was originally founded with the goal of celebrating the creations by students and faculty from the Institute of American Indian Arts, the museum's mission evolved over the decades. IAIA MoCNA stewards a collection that currently includes over 7,500 pieces by the institute's students as well as renowned artists from across the continent, specifically focusing on artwork created between 1962 and present day.
With the rotating exhibits displayed throughout the year, MoCNA aims to showcase the Native peoples' ongoing contributions to the larger world of fine art. Progressive paintings, sculptures, ceramics, photography, and installation pieces can all provide insight into the artists' views of their culture and heritage. In the years to come, MoCNA hopes that this ever-expanding collection will continue to serve as a source of inspiration for future generations of Native artists and art scholars.

ZAFCO Launches New Patterns at SEMA 2015
November 11th, 2015
Las Vegas, NV – There was a lot of traction around the ZAFCO booth this year as the company unveiled two brand new patterns: the all-season ZEETEX ZT3000, an eco-friendly alternative in the PCR category that offers exceptional wet grip and balanced driving behavior, and the slick ACCELERA 651 Sport, the brand's first racing tire engineered with the R-Compound.
Maintaining a presence at the SEMA Show for the past decade, the ZAFCO umbrella has expanded and now boasts four brands, ZEETEX, ACCELERA, FORCEUM, and ARMSTRONG, all of which showcased a wide range of patterns under PCR, TBR, SUV and Winter categories.
"The traffic this year was exciting," says Giovanni Arrigone, COO of ZAFCO International. "With the current market situation and raging price wars, our brands, which are manufactured primarily in Indonesia, continue to provide an attractive alternative to the drivers looking for superior quality at value-driven prices. That's what ZAFCO does best."
The booth also featured Café Zee, a creative concept introduced by ZEETEX, inviting attendees for some tire talk over a cup of coffee. The four-day agenda at SEMA was dedicated to deepening existing relationships and cultivating new ones.
