Cyan Gem Edit
Cyan Gems are one of the 8 Gems in Gemcraft and Gemcraft Chapter 0/one of the 10 gems in Gemcraft Chapter 2.
The Special Attack for the Cyan Gems are Shock and Suppressing Healing,The shock shocks/freezes the directed monster for a certain amount of time and a certain amount of damage,while the Suppressing Healing disables HP regeneration of enemies and ignores shield.
Effects Edit
Towers Edit
Cyan gems have a chance of stunning a target in place for 3 seconds/chance of disabling the target's regeneration.
Traps Edit
When placed in traps, cyan gems have increased chances of inflicting stun/increased chances of disabling the Monster's Regeneration.
Strategies Edit
Towers Edit
Traps Edit
- Combine a green and a cyan gem and place at multiple points near the beginnings or at 'choke' points to thin out the number of monsters quickly. If desired, it can also be combined with an orange gem to gain mana relatively fast. This strategy works well combined with splash damage towers.
Gemcraft Chapter 1Edit
Cyan gems have the shock ability.
Gemcraft Chapter 0Edit
Cyan gems still have the shock ability.
Gemcraft LabyrinthEdit
They have shock ability here, like in GC1 and GC0.
Gemcraft Chapter 2Edit
The shocking power is removed in Gemcraft Chapter 2, due to it being considered too powerful. However, Game in a Bottle stated that there still will be a way to stop monsters by the Freeze Spell, which acts like the shock power of the GC1/GC0/GCL Cyan gem, though this spell completely stops the targeted monsters temporarily; however, the target area of the Freeze Spell is bigger and it needs to recharge. The Cyan gem was given the Suppressing Healing power instead, which disables the target's HP regeneration.

Odds and Ends
Firstly, I just got back from the Bahamas. My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary there and we had a great time, however; its amazing how traveling by air these days can completely destroy a good time. Not only did American Airlines cancel our flight to Miami on our way back to LaGuardia, they put us on a connector that only gave us 45 minutes to get to our next flight. We had to sprint through the terminals because we had to go through security AGAIN because we had to enter a new terminal. Of course we out ran our luggage which now resides somewhere in the twilight zone. Hopefully we get our stuff back.

Canada Goose Coats On Sale The details of budget process policy aren't usually exciting enough to make it onto the evening news, but they are an extremely important part of our federal political system.

It would remove budgeting from election years and ensure that spending our nation's money does not become a political football. Canada Goose Coats On Sale

It's a common strategy. If you're leading a regional or mid-sized bank or credit union, you may have looked to your IT personnel to be your primary – and possibly only – driver of your digital banking strategy. As is often the case, IT responds to a digital banking request in isolation. It's up to them to determine how to accommodate the request with the least amount of pain, expense, and ongoing maintenance. The only problem is that an important voice and source of input is missing – your Lines of Business (LOB). According to a recent report published by IDC, businesses are forecast to spend $1.67 trillion on technology in 2018. Roughly half of that spending will come from the IT budget while the other half will come from the budgets of technology buyers outside of IT.
Under this common fragmented model, everything falls on the IT group (which, for some organizations, may only be one or two employees working with a third party digital banking vendor). While they are experts in technology, they are not necessarily connected to the larger operations and profit centers of your financial institution. In fact, sometimes IT teams themselves are sequestered and located in separate areas (often near the technology equipment and away from day-to-day operations). Their paths may not often converge with LOB teams and operations can become siloed.
Conversely, your LOB may not know or have an appreciation for what is transpiring from a technology perspective. They may only learn about new features during a training session given by IT. The LOB learns to live with limitations of the digital banking platform as their KPIs evolve. What may have been a major KPI when the IT group began working on a digital banking upgrade, may no longer be a strategic focus of the LOB by the time the feature has passed all beta testing.
To avoid this all-too-common scenario, step back and ask the important question: What is the best experience for my users and what do they expect? Thinking through this question will help drive your decision-making and force you to focus on "future-proofing" your platform to grow, live, and breathe along with your organization.
The role and importance of IT in digital banking is undeniable, and IT should absolutely always be at the table; what I'm saying is that IT shouldn't be there alone. By bringing in your LOB early and often, you're leveraging your ability to unlock the full value of digital banking, not only as a customer recruitment and retention strategy, but also as a profit center.
In the end, the question may not be so much about whether IT or LOB should be the driver of your digital transformation. The answer is both, they should work together to ensure the focus is on creating a rich and robust roadmap for the future – with the right team to drive progress forward. Providing a seat at the table for your business managers, IT, and LOB seamlessly will future-proof your investment and unlock the true value of digital banking well into the future.

Who Was Steve Jobs?
Steve Jobs
Within hours of the death of Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs, people began to show up at Apple stores with flowers, candles, and messages of bereavement and gratitude, turning the company's retail establishments into shrines. It was an oddly fitting tribute to the man who started Apple in his parents' garage in 1976 and built it up to become, as of last August, the world's most valuable corporation, one with more cash in its vault than the US Treasury. Where better to lay a wreath than in front of places that were themselves built as shrines to Apple products, and whose glass staircases and Florentine gray stone floors so perfectly articulated Jobs's "maximum statement through minimalism" aesthetic. And why not publicly mourn the man who had given us our coolest stuff, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad, and computers that were easy to use and delightful to look at?
According to Martin Lindstrom, a branding expert writing in The New York Times just a week before Jobs's death, when people hear the ring of their iPhones it activates the insular cortex of the brain, the place where we typically register affection and love. If that's true, then the syllogism—I love everything about my iPhone; Steve Jobs made this iPhone; therefore, I love Steve Jobs—however faulty, makes a certain kind of emotional sense and suggests why so many people were touched by his death in more than a superficial way.
By the time he died in October at age fifty-six, Jobs was as much an icon as the Apple logo or the iPod or the original Macintosh computer themselves. Known for his casual jeans-and-black-turtleneck look, Jobs had branded himself and, by extension, his company. The message was simple: I'm not a suit, and we don't make products for suits—suits being a euphemism for buttoned-up, submissive conformists. America loves its business heroes—just a few years ago, books about General Electric's former chief executive Jack Welch, the investor Warren Buffett, and Chrysler's Lee Iacocca topped best-seller lists—and it also celebrates its iconoclasts, people who buck the system and make it on their own terms. As Walter Isaacson's perfectly timed biography makes clear, Jobs aspired to be both, living as if there were no contradiction between the corporate and the countercultural, and this, along with the sexy hardware and innovative software he bequeathed us, is at the root of the public's fascination with him.
Isaacson's biography—which is nothing if not a comprehensive catalog of Jobs's steps and missteps as he went from being an arrogant, mediocre engineer who had been relegated to the night shift at Atari because of his poor hygiene to one…

Q: I've seen a friend try to give time-outs to her 2-yearold. She's holding the child in a chair and telling him it's a time-out. I thought the idea was to take attention away. Is he too young? Is this really working?
A: Time-outs are often controversial for parents. However, the idea of time-out is to remove the problem from the child or the child from the problem. It allows a calming period to occur for child and parent. I suspect that your friend may feel the need to hold the child in a chair because he leaves the time-out chair. You are correct in thinking the idea is to take attention away, but your friend is correct in letting her child know why he is in the chair. She might try putting him there, telling him it is time-out, and then walking away. If the child continues to get up, then she should gently walk him back to the chair, saying nothing (which is ignoring the behavior). This should be done every time he gets up.
The idea is to let him know that no matter what his behavior, mom will be consistent in redirecting him back to time-out. It is very important to remember that when the desired behavior is produced – the child sitting in the chair – mom should immediately respond with positive praise, saying something like "good job" or "thank you for sitting so nicely in your chair."
Once the child has calmed down, mom can then talk to the child about why he was placed there. Some experts also suggest that children bring a special toy into time-out. This helps time-out be thought of by the child as less of a place of a negative experience and more of a place of calmness and peace. Keep in mind that the length of the time-out is generally one minute per each year of the child's age. Time-outs can sometimes be Challenging for both the young child and the parent to get accustomed to, but as always, consistency is the key.
Q: Even as a toddler my daughter was very temperamental. She's 13 now and her ups and downs throw everyone in the house for a loop. How can I tell the difference between normal moodiness and the kind of depression that should be looked at more closely or treated medically?
A: I think I would have to better understand what you mean by ups and downs. Of course, we all know that 13 can be a temperamental age. Our tweens go through many physical and mental changes during this time. It's called adolescence. However, I certainly understand your concern with wanting to understand if your daughter's behavior could be more than just typical. There are a few questions you could ask yourself. How is your daughter's behavior in school, with other friends, family members, in other social settings? Consult your daughter's primary care physician about your concerns. Finally, if you still feel there is reason for concern, request an evaluation from a psychiatrist or other mental healthcare professional. An evaluation will tell you if concerns are warranted, and should direct you to the proper treatment for your daughter.

With 2020 around the corner, I wanted to do something that every other hack anime blogger is doing — write about the last decade of anime. The key difference is that my series of articles is named after an emo song, which makes them objectively better.
Before I get started I want to make something abundantly clear: this is not meant to be a comprehensive portrait of the 2010s. This is how I experienced anime over the decade; not the fandom as a whole.
I will also not be covering every major news story that happened. If I remember something, I'll bring it up. But this will mostly be about the titles that came out and my reaction to them. You can skim the Anime News Network archive on your own time.
In 2010, I had already been podcasting about anime for two years. Before 2008, I had never attempted criticism outside of homework assignments. After a few years of poor audio quality and awkward pauses, I was finally getting comfortable.
Nothing demonstrated this more than my jump into written content in 2009. I primarily wrote content for my own website, but I also contributed to three now-defunct blogs — Anime 3000, Pop-Droid, and Geek Party.
Anime 3000 is going to come up a lot.
Anime started out strong in 2010. Probably. Durarara!! had it's first season. I wrote a positive episode one review for Anime 3000, but never continued watching because that's what I do.
I did the same thing for Cobra The Animation, a show where a man with a gun arm smokes a cigar underwater.
Dance in the Vampire Bund also came out that season. When it was streamed online for the American audience, some underage girl in thong underwear shots were censored. This made a lot of nerds mad. I wrote an article for my site making fun of them that no one read until years later when they commented that I was a moron.
Arguably the best thing to come out of the controversy was the Urban Dictionary definition submitted by Dave Riley of Fast Karate for the Gentlemen which states that to Dance in the Vampire Bund means to "perform anal sex without sufficient lubrication, thus causing bleeding."
Ladies verus Butlers is a show that I've never seen, but my friend Ryan has. I still make fun of him for this fact.
Seikon no Qwaser was first aired on January 10, 2010. That's four years before January 10, 2014, which is a song from The World is a Beautiful Place & I'm No Longer Afraid to Die about Diana, Hunter of Bus Drivers. Seikon no Qwaser has nothing to do with her. After all, Diana didn't execute her first bus driver until 2013. Instead it's a show where people need to drink breast milk to use super powers.
Close enough.
Chris Beveridge gave the series a B-, which makes him a bad person. Theron Martin gave it a C+, which makes him a slightly better person, but still suspicious.
Fans of Seikon no Qwaser seem to dance around the breastmilk part by calling it Soma. This is a made up word that means breastmilk. Nevertheless, the Seikon no Qwaser fanwiki has a painstakingly crafted page on the art of breastfeeding.
Did I just write three paragraphs about a show I've never seen? Yes. This is going to be a long ride, kids. You should have packed a lunch.
Have you ever wanted to watch an anime girl sleep for 40-minutes? No? Well, someone did, because in February 2010 we got Sleeping With Hinako. This is one of the strangest OVAs I've ever seen, and I'm including Apocalypse Zero in that count.
Sure, Apocalypse Zero features a geriatric man attacking someone with his dick — his dick turns into a dragon, by the way — but jerking off to someone while they sleep is a line that should never be crossed (I'm looking at you Evangelion fans). Wha'ts that you say? You didn't jerk off when you watched Sleeping with Hinako. That makes you even weirder, buddy.
The Spring 2010 Anime Season had a lot going on. The biggest title for me was Trigun: Badlands Rumble. I don't know how this got made. When Trigun aired in Japan in 1998, it didn't hit. It was much more popular in America when it ran on Adult Swim, but that was back in 2003. Anime Insider published an article about a movie being in production in 2004.
I enjoyed the movie, but I'm confused as to why it was made. Why didn't this get released during the height of Trigun's popularity in America? Why wait seven years to make what amounts to a throwaway film?
For everyone else, the big title was the K-ON! sequel. The most impact K-ON! ever had in my life was that time I started an internet fight with some kid in Funimation's blog comment section. I purported that Basquash was better than K-ON! We argued publicly for an hour before taking it private via email.
What's more ridiculous than the fact that I did this, is that Anime 3000 published the transcript of our fight in its entirety.
Stan Lee made an anime! Bet you didn't know that. I watched the first episode of Heroman on the same day that I watched Demon King Daimao. They both left a similar impression on me.
Did anyone watch Nightraid 1931? I sure didn't. I bought the Bluray when it came out because I liked the cover. It sat on my shelf for years next to all of the other shows I would "eventually get around to."
Rainbow is another show like that, but it never received a home video release. To this day I tell myself that I will watch Rainbow because the description reminds me of the movie Sleepers, a film about torturing children that I watched sight-unseen when I was 13.
If there was an award for Best Movie About Torturing Children, Sleepers would be a top contender.
Tatami Galaxy first aired April 23, 2010. Tony Bowe would spend the next nine years of his life asking why it never got released on Bluray.
House of Five Leaves also came out in Spring. It's a very slow show about samurai. I think. I reviewed it for Anime 3000, but the only things I remember are that the characters had scary eyes and the opening slapped.
Finally, the second Eden of the East movie was released. I watched the show and the first film with my girlfriend at the time. I watched the second film without her because I'm an asshole.
In the Summer, we got High School of the Dead. This was maybe a good show, but it will forever be remembered as having a slow-motion sequence where an anime girl's breast dodge a bullet. The only thing that tops that is the slow-motion sequence from Drive Angry where Nicholas Cage kills a group of assassins while having sex with a waitress he met that night.
You know what else came out in the Summer? Fucking Shiki! I've been riding the Shiki Hate Train since day one. I got my first taste of Shiki when it was streaming. Why did I watch it? I'm sure somebody that hates me told me it was good. It's not.
You can imagine my delight when Anime 3000 sent me the boxset to review years later.
A big reason why I hate Shiki is because it's ugly. Is that petty? Yes. But fuck me if that doctor doesn't shave his stupid beard. Who let him into medical school with facial hair like that? Maybe that's why it takes him so long to realize that VAMPIRES are killing all the villagers and not some mysterious disease. You fucking asshole!
In 2011, Funimation went on record saying that sales for When They Cry – Higurashi were so bad that they'd never again release a series "that bears even a minor resemblance." I still laugh about that quote because it was already too late for them to backtrack on their Shiki responsibilities.
Something that was good — Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail. At least, I assume it was good. I still haven't watched it. I bought the Bluray when it came out and never opened it. This is a reoccurring problem in my life.
The last thing worth mentioning from Summer is an anime I did watch called Colorful. No, not the sex comedy that the late Ryutara Nakamura directed. That's show is also awesome. This Colorful is kind of like a super serious feature length version of the first episode of Yu Yu Hakusho.
The Fall 2010 Anime Season gave us another show that I never watched but always meant to. Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt was the last thing that Hiroyuki Imaishi for Gainax before leaving to start Studio Trigger.
It took longer than usual for Panty and Stocking to sit on my shelf. The Bluray release was delayed in America because of Japan's reverse importation fears. You know what else is scary? Japanese anime prices.
Star Driver gave me a case of Acute Anime Burnout. The person that told me to watch Star Driver had the audacity to compare it to Gurren Lagann. This was probably the same asshole that told me Shiki was good. I've erased all memories of this show from my mind, but I know that it was months before I was ready to watch anime again.
Mazinkaiser SKL was my Anime Secret Santa pick for 2011. I have a surprise for you — I never finished watching it. Inexplicably, because I fucking loved the original Mazinkaiser.
You wanna know something I did watch that came out in 2010? It wasn't until 2012, but I watched the fuck out of it. And I liked it.
Motherfucking Oreimo!
That's right! I watched Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai, a title sometimes tranlated as My Little Sister Can't Possibly Be This Cute. I wonder why they opted to go with Oreimo when it came out in America.
I don't have an excuse for this. I was alone. It was unprovoked. No one told me to watch it. I just did. And I'm not sorry.
2010 was a special time. Podcasting and writing was still new to me, so everything I produced had a weight to it. In a few years, I would find my voice, but I would also become jaded. The content I produce now is of a higher quality, but god damn if I wasn't having more fun back then.

Hi friends! Today we'll talk about water-soluble stabilizers by Madeira. I'll try to show you what they can do and where you may apply them. Madeira has a line of water-soluble stabilizers named Avalon. Therefore, it is not correct to apply this name to all water-soluble products. When we say 'Avalon', we mean Madeira, and when we say 'Madeira', Avalon is implied. Madeira offers 4 items in that department. They have different properties and functions. Avalon Film A thin semitransparent water-soluble film. To the touch, it is like a plastic bag. This stabilizer can only be used as a topping. It is good for terry cloth, piled fabrics, knits, and fur. You put it on top of your fabric in order to prevent the sinking of the stitches. Avalon Ultra Dense water-soluble film. It looks very similar to the greenhouse covering material. Machine embroiderers use it as a main fabric when creating thin diaphanous laces, such as Battenberg lace or Vologda lace. You hoop the stabilizer, choose a design of a certain kind, and embroider. The dense film is also used for cutwork and Hardanger, where you cut out the holes and then apply the material. Avalon Plus A non-woven material that is also used as a main fabric for the embroidery. Works well for felting, cutwork, and Hardanger embroidery. If you're making lace and want it to maintain its shape in future, Avalon Plus is the right choice. You hoop the stabilizer and embroider. After the embroidery is completed, the stabilizer is washed away. If you want my personal opinion, I like Avalon Plus more. To me, it seems more reliable, though while I was writing this article, I asked Irina Lisitza, our technology specialist, and she said that for thin laces, she prefers Avalon Ultra because it washes out better. Avalon Fix This one is similar in structure to Avalon Plus, but with an adhesive layer and protection paper cover. It is used as backing for embroidery on very thin and diaphanous fabrics, such as batiste, tulle netting, and organza. In other words, in all those cases where the stabilizer is hard to remove or where it makes the embroidery too dense. The making process is simple. You hoop the stabilizer, cut the protective cover, put your fabric on top of it and do the embroidery. This is all, in a nutshell. Happy embroidery!

Hello friends and strangers! Today I want to talk about being honest with yourself. I want to talk about this because it's been at the forefront of my mind. I've been doing quite a bit of self-inventory lately and I've discovered that if I am being honest with myself, I've been living too much in the past and in the future, and not enough in the present. I'm not the person I was 10 years ago, a year ago, or even a month ago, and I'm not the person I envision myself to be in a month, a year, or 10 years from now. I am who I am today. O.k., so that might sound sort of obvious. But, hang tight and let's look at this a little bit deeper because I think it's very important to look at.
I have a friend who at one point in time went to the gym almost every single day. They felt great about it and it was a wonderful priority in their life. Then some life circumstance things started happening that prevented them from sticking to the gym schedule they once had. No biggie, shit happens. But, what I noticed was that whenever the topic of going to the gym came up among friends, this one friend would still proudly boast that they went to the gym almost every day. I spent a lot of time with this person so I knew that this wasn't the case, and hadn't been the case for several months. The thing is I don't think that she was intentionally lying. I just think that she was living so much in the past that she didn't even realize that her current reality had actually changed, or conversely she was living in the future, and knew that she would just get back into it tomorrow… And, I'm not going to lie, I found her delusional thinking a little bit disturbing. But, then I realized the ways in which I've been doing the same thing, but with acting!! Ahh! It never fails people. We are all mirrors to one another.
There was a time in my life when acting was everything. I acted almost every single day. I felt very confidant in my skills as an actor, and it was a wonderful time in my life. I worked very hard, and was quite dedicated to it. Over the years my day jobs, the business of acting, relationships, and other distractions got in the way of this. But, up until quite recently, I held onto this vision of myself from years ago, and believed that I was somehow still this same person. The truth is, I'm not. That's o.k., but it's vitally important for me that I am truthful about this with myself.
I want to ACT. Ideally, I want to act in projects that require all of my acting faculties. I want to play roles that require me to do all of my acting "homework." I love the reward that comes from having figured out the beats, the actions, the objectives. I enjoy all of the sensory and imagination work too. And, I love how when I'm going about my day-to-day different ideas, angles, or insights will just pop into my mind about the character I'm playing. The reward from having done all of this homework occurs when I actually do the scene, and it comes alive in ways I didn't even fathom it could. So that being said, how often do you think I actually do all of this? Honestly, about once a week if I'm lucky.
Well, once a week isn't enough. However, every single day is not a part of my current reality either. I have other priorities and dreams that take precedence too. I'm not counting the commercial auditions that I go on, or the business of acting work that I do. That stuff is important and can pay the bills, but it's not the in depth acting work that I desire, it's not the reason why I have made two cross-country moves in the past 8 years.
Listen, if I wanted to, I could give you a handful of reasonable excuses for all of this. However, if I am living in the present, none of those reasons really matter. What matters is what I'm going to do about it-NOW, not tomorrow, but now. Today after I finish this blog and eat some dinner, I am going to get cozy with the script that I am working on in my scene study class, and I'm going to do all of that wonderful homework I outlined above. Today I am determined to be in line with my own desires. Tomorrow, I will need to do something else. And, at the end of the week, I am going to take a look at how I've spent my time, and if I'm not happy with it, I will adjust accordingly the following week.
I hope this resonates with some of you in one way or another. If it does, leave me a comment below! I'd love to hear about your journey 😉
About Jackie Fogel
Actor - Hi, I'm Jackie Fogel! I've lived in Los Angeles for the past 4 years, and like so many people who end up here, I moved to L.A. to realize my dream of becoming a successful actor. I'm still working on that dream, and I work towards it every day, but if my happiness were based solely on my career, let's just say I wouldn't be winning any Miss Congeniality awards. One of the things that has helped make me a more well-rounded and consequently happier person has been cross-fit and following a mostly paleo diet. But, it's been quite the journey leading me up to this point. Join me in my blog as I reflect on the crazy road that's lead me here.

On Heat and Meat
I promised myself I wouldn't blog about the heat until Louisiana, or Texas. But it is an animal, even here in the upper south. It feeds on our flesh and sucks at our innards.
At a St. Louis Cardinals game the other day I literally watched Will's arms bake. My arms burned and his arms baked.
I could hear the heat ringing in the metal bleachers around Busch Stadium.[i] And I could hear Will's arms sizzle.
We contemplated turning around, so we could cook slightly more rotisserie style. Instead, only the topsides of our arms got scorched.
"I look like an action figure," Will said after the game. "Like my arms have been artificially attached."
I might be offending baseball purists here, but they shouldn't allow day games in the Midwest. It was almost too hot to drink beer.
We've come up with some creative ways to beat the heat. Will has started to bathe in water fountains. I'm still holding out. We spent yesterday in a cave, a huge one in the Onondaga State Park in Missouri. Apparently Missouri is the "cave state." They're everywhere, and they're all about a dreamy 57 degrees Fahrenheit, the mean temperature above ground. We stayed cool as amphibians and we learned a lot too. I might start basing our route more around caves.
That afternoon I experienced the heat of the south in a life-changing way. For some reason Will and I decided that since we were in the south we might as well start dipping tobacco. Bad idea. I'm not used to it. I don't know how anyone is. It's horrible.
I stumbled, sweaty and dizzy, out of our car into a convenience store in Southern Missouri to get some bread. I couldn't think straight. But the air-conditioning of the store soothed me. I spent ten minutes in there clearing my head and cooling my bones.
When I exited the door the heat hit me like a mack truck. It slammed my face and squeezed my lungs. The world spun. Somewhere to my left I caught a glimpse of one of the whitest, fattest, greasiest bellies I've ever seen in my life. It sat in a rusty pick up truck.
A powerful urge to vomit overtook me. I hung over a garbage can for a while. I'm not sure how I held it in.
I don't mean this as a criticism of the south or overweight people in general. I don't know if there are more overweight people down here, but there are certainly more shirtless overweight people. The man should have had a shirt on, but maybe he knows more about the heat than I ever will.
A while after this we ran into a rainstorm. It cut the temperature in half.
We picked up one of Will's friends, Pimp (I'll explain later), in Little Rock and headed off to the Riverfest Amphitheatre, one of the most accessible and beautiful concert venues I've ever had the pleasure of attending, to watch a Widespread Panic show. If you don't know them they're a great southern rock band—a little folk, a little blues, and a lot of jam. Maybe too much for a lot of people. A lot of ex-Phish followers.
We are in a hole in the wall joint called the Poet's Café in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Will just ordered a one-dollar chili-dog. We've eaten a lot of chili-dogs so far. The best, hands down, came in Eastern Kentucky. The chili was homemade and we cooked the "smokehouse" dogs over an open fire.
Will just said the dog was "amazing."
"Each one gets better."
[i] Our original plan was to catch Bonds' record-breaking home run ball, and then maybe retire. We mis-timed it slightly. And we ended up with two extra tickets that we couldn't even give away. So we're now eighty bucks poorer.

Federal Shutdown Page Content
Dear Friends, Supporters and Pueblo County Residents,
Pueblo Cooperative Care Center has been receiving calls and getting questions from Federal workers and their family members, Federal contractors and vendors wondering how they will get through the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. We know that when people miss paychecks the food that they can purchase is greatly affected. Pueblo Cooperative Care Center, along with our network of partner agencies and programs across Pueblo County are striving to respond to these needs.
Pueblo Cooperative Care Center exists to provide services during times like these and we firmly believe that individuals and families do not need to suffer in silence. We serve as southern Colorado's largest emergency food and crisis center and we recognize that while Federal employees, contractors and vendors are not being paid, the impact in our own communities is substantially greater.
In the first two weeks of 2019 alone, Pueblo Cooperative Care Center has experienced an exponential increase in the number of clients served. Considering that we serve over 36,000 people each year, listed below are the facts of what we are undergoing:
- We are up 28% in the number of households served,
- We are up 28% in the number of individuals served,
- We are up 35% in the number of new clients enrolled into services, and
- We are up over 80% in the number of homeless served.
We have concerns about keeping our shelves stocked should the Federal government shutdown continue, and we are preparing now to brace for the potential future impact. While Pueblo Cooperative Care Center is in a good position to meet the current increase in food requests, we are witnessing greater numbers of senior citizens, veterans and low-income individuals and families being affected who are a part of the SNAP or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps). We have walk-in clients every day and we fully expect to see more clients coming through our doors as each day passes.
Every food donation helps, and we need your support now! Given the large number of government workers, contractors and vendors situated in Pueblo County, we expect this situation to worsen before it gets better. Colorado and local agencies are warning SNAP recipients to carefully budget their grocery purchases because of the government shutdown, and unless the shutdown is resolved swiftly, food benefits for March just might not be available to the people who need help the most. Just like countless agencies and organizations all across the nation, we are waiting for Federal, state and local guidance as each day passes. We will keep the Pueblo County community informed as we are best able to do.
Pueblo Cooperative Care Center will accept food donations at our facility located at 326 W. 8th Street in downtown Pueblo, Monday's through Friday's from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. For larger quantity food donations (over 500 pounds) we will schedule a driver for food items to be picked up. If you need additional information on donating to our organization, or if you need food assistance please refer to our website at www.cooperativecare.org or call (719) 543-7484.
Corry Higbee, Executive Director
Pueblo Cooperative Care Center

State of Origin
The State of Origin is the most watched Australian sporting event on television annually and with so much conversation the NRL wanted to feed fans rivalries across Instagram throughout the series.
On the field the State of Origin is the biggest rivalry in sports, but it's on Instagram where true fans are one upping each other.
We created a series of activations that used social media functions to help drum up the rivalry in fun and playful ways. These included the illustration of players, stickers, polls and games that could be played on Instagram Stories.
The different executions were there for fans to use as they rode the highs and lows throughout the 3 game series. The stickers were searchable by typing 'NRL' or 'State of Origin' on the Instagram stickers function. To aid the discovery, we made a nifty supporting video that was used by NRL both as an Instagram Story and in-feed.
- Over 4.3 million organic impressions on Instagram Stories
- Almost 40 million organic sticker views on Giphy
- An average of 2 million TV viewers per match

St Etienne – Bordeaux : Preview & Prediction
Returning home with the 3 points of victory on the lawn of Montpellier (0-1), the Stephanois chained the good performance at the end of the season, occupying a beautiful 5th place in Europe, after having experienced a long period of doubt. In front of them, the Girondins de Bordeaux will present themselves to Geoffroy Guichard with the weak hope of hanging a European place at the end of the championship.
In the first leg, the Bordeaux had beaten AS Saint-Etienne 3-0, during the long period of misfits of Stephanois, who will be revenge for this return match.
On the last 5 meetings, Saint-Etienne has an excellent record of 4 wins and a draw.
Saint-Etienne has not lost in Ligue 1 for more than 13 games. Their last defeat goes back to January 2018 (1-0 on the lawn of Nice)
Bordeaux leaves often empty-handed of his displacements with Saint-Etienne. The last victory of the Girondins at Geoffroy Guichard dates back to the 2011-2012 season (win 2-3).
The St Etienne have an impressive record since the beginning of 2018, to the point of being passed from the bottom of the table to an honorable 5th place, qualifier for the Europa League. In Geoffroy Guichard's cauldron, Saint-Étienne often meets the big teams. Faced with Bordelais having a small chance of hanging Europe at the end of the season, the St Etienne will be motivated to offer the 3 points to their public, and so take an option on qualifying for the next Europa League. We opt for a victory for Saint-Étienne.
St Etienne – Bordeaux : Betting Tips
St Etienne – Win Odds: 1.95
Both teams to score / YES – Odds: 1.70
Over 2.5 Goals – Odds: 1.70

The Thomasville City Council race witnessed little controversy Tuesday evening as all seven incumbents were re-elected to office.
Current council members Jane Murphy, Scott Styers, Ronald Bratton, Joe Leonard, Neal Grimes, Wendy Sellars and Pat Shelton kept their seven seats.
Jane Murphy led with 11.05 percent of the vote. Behind her were the following candidates: Scott Styers, 10.53 percent; Ronald Bratton, 10.17 percent; Wendy Sellars, 9.63 percent; Joe Leonard, 9.62 percent; Pat Shelton, 9.25 percent; Neal Grimes, 9.04 percent; Cheraton Love, 7.69 percent; Michele Hill 7.03 percent; Larry Hogan 6.21 percent; Huey Turner, 4.97 percent; and Carl Shatley, 4.22 percent.
Murphy, who received 767 votes, will serve her second term.
Murphy said she would like to see the Thomasville continue to come together, move forward and grow.
"I'm very humbled that the citizens of Thomasville got out and voted and I was one of the people that they elected back into office," Murphy said. "I will do my best the next two years to represent them."
Styers was behind Murphy with 731 votes.
He said that being on the council is not about politics — it's about service.
"It's a labor of love for the people who really take it seriously, and our council does," Styers said. "It's something that is very rewarding to be able to be a public servant. I'm just very happy to have that opportunity one more time."
Bratton came in third with 706 votes.
The veteran council member said some of his goals for the future included building a new Thomasville police station and working on new recreational facilities.
"I think we worked very hard to try to do what we thought was the best interest of Thomasville," Bratton said. "I think that the voting and confidence of the citizens reflect that."
All council spots were at large, which meant the 12 candidates competed for the seven spots. The Thomasville mayor and city council are elected for two-year terms.
Thomasville Mayor Raleigh York Jr. ran unopposed and will serve his second term.
"Even though I didn't have any opposition, I still appreciate all the people that come out and vote," York said. "I'm excited about serving two more years because I have a passion for our city and the citizens. And all that I do is for the betterment of our city and our folks. I'm about as excited as I've ever been."
Styers said that all the incumbents being re-elected showed that the public feels Thomasville and the City Council are headed in the right direction.
"We still have a lot of work to do and a long way to go," Styers said. "But I think people understand that our vision plan that we developed a few years ago was a blueprint for us to follow, and we're really trying to follow what our community it says it wants."

This is really cool! I love the idea of interchangeable clothes! What kind of adhesive did she use to be able to take the clothes on and off, and re-position them unto another doll?

It's very beautiful! I like it!
Cool album and a great idea to use this way. Carla from Utah
Cool idea for the play on the photo book!
This is a very interesting idea and I can see making different photo frames as well to use for framing travel shots.

"Your mammogram has some areas of concern." There it is; the sentence no woman wants to hear. You are then told to schedule more mammograms and then an ultrasound. If you are lucky they tell you that you are fine, it was just a cyst, or a very fibrous area and you are relieved. I you are not so lucky, they tell you that you must come back in for a breast biopsy. This whole set of procedures are terribly uncomfortable and disconcerting for most people.

I let Winston type the title…he's not very inspired today. Sorry blog, I have been gone since last week. Hopefully you all will enjoy some fun pet/pictures of me and Dan outside of Wal-Mart.
I tried to go to a Sci Fi convention because Bobafet was going to be there, but sadly admission was a whopping $25! You know how much a normal nerdy convention is? Like $5! Pffft. Bobafet is EXPENSIVE. Anyhow, it was pretty much worth it just to see some kids exit their basements to dress up like Manga characters and head into another basement for two days. AMAZING.
After Steve, Dan and I decided that spending a combined $75 on admission, we figured we could have just as much fun as Wal-Mart. Man, I remember being like 14 and hanging out in Wal-Mart because there was pretty much nothing else to do.
Anyhow, Dan photographed Steve eating 20 McNuggets in a row, which is probably the sickest thing I've ever watched. I think he's going to post a documentation of this on his blog…I'll let you know when it's up!
Does anyone else ever go to Wal-Mart and end up making all these impulse purchases because everything there is extremely cheap??? I think I ended up spending like $70!!! ON WHAT??? I don't even know. I bought dog food and Spongebob slipper/socks, but I can't really remember what else. It was all a blur of happy faces and great deals.
Today was my second day of back to work. As for my weekday job, I am almost out of things to do! My boardroom project is close to being done and I'd like to just be able to look for a permanent position. Sadly I have about 2 more weeks to go! BLAH! Anyone have any suggestions on how to spend my time???

Children are notoriously picky eaters and many parents find it hard to get their children to eat more vegetables, which are important for growth and development. Now, a new study shows that repeatedly offering a variety of vegetables boosted the kids' acceptance and consumption of healthy foods, such as vegetables.
A team of Australian researchers aimed to evaluate the efficacy of repeated exposure to multiple target vegetables in boosting kids' consumption.
Children, particularly, toddlers, may become picky during mealtime, and the problem is compounded by readily-available salty, high-fat, and sweet food products that often lack the needed recommended daily nutritional intake, letting parents surrender in providing healthier alternatives to their children.
Even though the daily recommended consumption of vegetables for children varies depending on the country, the dietary guidelines are quite similar. For instance, the American Heart Association, recommends that children should get 25 to 35-percent of their daily calories from low-fat food items, like vegetables, when they reach 4 years old.
"In Australia, dietary guidelines for vegetable consumption by young children have increased although actual consumption is low," Astrid Poelman from the CSIRO Agriculture & Food, Sensory, Flavour and Consumer Science, North Ryde, Australia, said. "This study introduces an effective strategy for parents wanting to address this deficiency," she added.
High vegetable consumption is linked to a lower risk of developing chronic disease and mortality. In Australia, it is recommended that children between 4 and 7 years old should consume two servings of vegetables. The recommended daily intake recently increased to 4.5 servings for children who are 4 to 8 years old. However, the actual vegetable intake in the age group is just 1.2 servings.
Vegetable offering strategies
To arrive at their findings, which were published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, the researchers recruited 32 families with children who are 4 to 6 years old and where reports of low consumption of vegetables are present. The team asked the parents to answer an online survey and attend an information meeting before participating in the study.
From there, the researchers formed three groups – the first group included kids who were served a single vegetable, the second one served with multiple vegetables, and the third or control group continued with their usual diet.
The researchers measured through two dinner meals served at research facilities, a usual vegetable intake with a parent report and three-day weighed food records. The team acquired the data at baseline of the study period, and either immediately after the intervention, or at 3 months follow up, or both.
The more choices, the more they eat
The team found that there were no differences between the groups at baseline with vegetable intake. However, the usually vegetable consumption increased in the multiple target group from 0.6 to 1.2 servings and did not change in other groups.
The dinner meal, when children consumed their food without their parents, did not increase their intake due to an unfamiliar setting and the absence of their parents. However, those who received multiple or single vegetable serving had heightened acceptance of vegetables.
Surprisingly, the families that served multiple vegetables had greater consumption of servings, while there was no change in the intake of families that served a single vegetable, or those whose diets were not changed.
Children served with multiple vegetable choices accepted eating vegetables more than the others, and it was maintained during the first five weeks of the study, up to the three-month follow up.
The parents also reported that after they offered a variety of vegetables found it "very easy" or "quite easy" offering vegetables to their children.
"While the amount of vegetables eaten increased during the study, the amount did not meet dietary guidelines. Nonetheless, the study showed the strategy of offering a variety of vegetables was more successful in increasing consumption than offering a single vegetable," Poelman added.
Low acceptance is the main reason for decreased vegetable intake among children. The study highlights the importance of exposing children to multiple vegetables simultaneously, which can be an effective method, instead of single vegetable serving, to boost their daily intake. The researchers recommend further studies and larger scale research to validate the efficacy of the method and to improve understanding of the importance of vegetable intake in children.

Springfield, Mass. — The Springfield College men's volleyball team was swept by visiting Rivier in Blake Arena on Tuesday night by the set scores of 25-20, 25-21, 25-14.
The Pride, which was ranked No. 1 in the latest AVCA Division III National Poll for the 37th-consecutive poll dating back to 2017, dropped to 15-2 with the loss, while Rivier improved to 8-6. The loss snapped Springfield's 46-match winning streak against Division III opponents, broke the Pride's 42-match home winning streak, marked the first time that Springfield has been swept by a Division III opponent since March 9, 2016 and was first time that the Pride was swept at home by a Division III team since February 14, 2014.
NEW PROGRAM ALERT: St. Francis (NY) announces the addition of men's volleyball program
Brennen Brandow totaled 10 kills and seven digs in the loss, while Kyle Jasuta produced eight kills and a pair of blocks. Eli Gabriel Irizarry Pares notched 26 assists, seven digs, and four kills, and Johjan Mussa Robles registered a match-high 13 digs. Springfield was held to a .143 hitting percentage in the setback.
Rivier hit at a .349 clip in the win, with David Smith leading the way with 12 kills. Pedro Campos directed the Raiders offense with 29 helpers and Dashuan Graham controlled the net with eight blocks.
Springfield put away eight kills on their first eight swings, and forced Rivier into a timeout at 11-6 after Jasuta's third kill of the evening. Rivier would battle back and take a 17-16 lead following the longest rally of the evening, which was finished off by Smith's fifth kill in the frame, as the Pride burned its first timeout. Rivier continued its surge and would pull away for the 25-20 victory as they hit at a .519 clip in the set.
MEN'S VOLLEYBALL: Championship history
After the hosts gained a 4-2 lead on a kill from Brandow in transition, Rivier erupted for a 6-1 burst as the Pride whistled for an early timeout. The Raiders lead would grow to 10-5, but Springfield responded with a 6-1 push to even the score at 11 after Jasuta hammered a ball out of the middle. The visitors answered back with a 6-2 run, as three-straight attack errors by the Pride allowed Rivier to open up a 17-13 cushion. A block from Jasuta and Astin Sesoko brough the Pride within 20-19, but the visitors would end the set on a 5-2 run to take a 2-0 lead in the match. The Pride hit .000 in the stanza, committing 12 attack errors.
A kill from Brandow made it 2-1 in favor of the visitors in the early going of the third. However, Rivier would pour on the pressure to seize a 17-6 advantage, hitting .524 in the frame, and cruised to a 25-14 win.

Liebeslieder Waltzes (Brahms)
The Episcopal Parish of St. John the Baptist, 6300 SW Nicol Rd, Portland, OR 97223
Ping & Woof Opera and the Coulter Concert Series present:
Brahms' Liebeslieder Walzer, Op. 52 and 65
Jocelyn Claire Thomas, soprano
Hannah Penn, mezzo-soprano
Scot Crandal, tenor
Zachary Lenox, baritone
Brian Thomas, pianist
Hannah Brewer, pianist
Johannes Brahms' Liebeslieder Waltzes (Liebeslieder-Walzer) are distributed across two opus numbers: Op. 52 and Op. 65. The waltzes are a collection of love songs in Ländler style for SATB voices and piano four hands. The lyrics for the Liebeslieder come from Georg Friedrich Daumer's Polydora, a collection of folk songs and love poems. While there is no concrete record indicating the exact inspiration for the Waltzes, there is speculation that Brahms' motivation for the songs was his frustrated love for pianist Clara Schumann, composer Robert Schumann's wife.
The Coulter Concert Series has brought amazing musical experiences to St. John's over the years, from classical singers to Gospel musicians, from the American Boys' Choir to a Russian choir, from swinging jazz to Broadway belt, from a fully staged production of Hildegard of Bingen's 12the century masterpiece Ordo Virtutum to the upcoming fully staged production of Jesus Christ Superstar.

Indicative calendar for the Eurosystem's tender operations in the year 2000 including an adjustment to smooth the century date change
The European Central Bank (ECB) is today releasing to the public the indicative calendar for the Eurosystem's tender operations in 2000 [annex, pdf 26 kB].
The indicative calendar is prepared in compliance with the procedures set out in the "General documentation on ESCB monetary policy instruments and procedures" (dated September 1998). The ECB aims at establishing conditions ensuring that counterparties in all Member States can participate in the main and the longer-term refinancing operations. Therefore, when compiling the calendar for these operations, the ECB has made appropriate adjustments to take into account bank holidays in the individual Member States.
Attention should be drawn to one particular aspect of the indicative calendar relating to the transition to the year 2000. As already pointed out in a previous press release, the ECB is convinced that the Eurosystem's monetary policy framework is flexible enough and has built-in mechanisms designed to deal with any level of liquidity demand that might arise in the euro markets. In addition different scenarios have been analysed and the conclusion has consistently emerged that the Eurosystem will be in a position to cope with any potential increase in the demand for liquidity: the stock of banknotes held by national central banks is sufficient to allow for a considerable additional demand for banknotes in circulation and the amount of collateral available in the Eurosystem will be sufficient to allow for the corresponding increase of refinancing needs of the banking system. Nonetheless, it is considered prudent to eliminate any potential problem that may derive from the maturing and renewal of a main refinancing operation in the first week of the year 2000. Thus, no new main refinancing operation will be initiated in the first week of the year 2000, and no such operation will mature during this week. In fact the maturity of the main refinancing operation of 21 December 1999 will be lengthened exceptionally to three weeks. To avoid that two main refinancing operations mature on 12 January 2000, the operation of 30 December 1999 will also be lengthened to three weeks. This adaptation, which is consistent with the overall set-up, is considered useful to minimise any potential problem for counterparties and for the financial market, which could result from the conduct and settlement of a large operation directly after the transition to the new century.

The Achievable Health Center is one of Culver City's best Resources
Culver City offers many different services and amenities that help the community, and Culver City Real Estate, stay in high demand. That is one of the reasons that Martin Feinberg, Realtor, has lived in Culver City for over 30 years. One such service is the Achievable Health Center.
The Achievable Health Center—or Achievable as it's sometimes called—is a state-licensed, Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). It opened in 2013 and offers "continuous, high-quality, coordinated and integrated healthcare services." Its mission is to "provide high quality, integrated health care to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, and other vulnerable populations."
Josh Kruskol has been with Achievable for a year and a half and is the director of development and communications. According to Kruskol, the center was able to see 1,500 patients in 2016, which represents 4,500 visits. Achievable would like to see that number rise in 2017, but to reach that goal the facility needs to expand.
What makes the Achievable Health Center so amazing is that it uses a form of integrated behavioral healthcare. The center has staff that includes doctors (including a pediatrician), a psychologist, a dentist, and more. This allows Achievable to manage all the needs of their patients, and not just focus on their disability.
Patients with diagnosed disabilities often suffer from what is known as "diagnostic overshadowing". This means that any complaints or ailments are automatically blamed on their disability rather looking for another cause. Kruskol described situations where patients had been suffering from tumors or even broken bones but had not be treated because healthcare workers believed the symptoms were caused by the disability.
Achievable's use of integrated healthcare helps patients be seen as whole people, and not just as their disability or diagnosis.
Kruskol explained that if a patient is agitated and won't allow blood to be drawn, for example, that there are people at Achievable who can sing to them to help them calm down. He said, "it's hard to take blood from somebody and keep them calm if they don't know what is going on."
According to Kruskol, "we have parents who say that they can't believe they didn't know about this place before. We're known as LA's best kept secret. This population has been severely underserved."
The Achievable Health Center offers many different services. These include everything from primary medical care like well-child visits, immunizations, sick visits, pregnancy tests, and sports physicals, to psychiatric evaluations and neurological consultations. They have intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorders, psychotherapy for adults and children, and even workshops and support groups to help patients and their caregivers manage the stresses that result from their mental and health conditions.
Achievable is a community non-profit and depends on fundraisers and the generosity of the public to provide the services they offer. Achievable holds many fundraisers throughout the year and is always looking for volunteers. Martin Feinberg, Culver City Realtor, recognizes the importance of these services and encourages people to visit https://achievable.org to see how they can help.

Sunglasses at Night
Today is National Sunglasses Day so I wanted to be prepared. Sunglasses protect our delicate eyes from the sun's harmful rays but they also make a fashion statement.
I wear my sunglasses at night. These pink "cat eye" glasses are stylish at any hour, anywhere.
I wear them at the beach. I'm rockin' these red shades with extra UV protection.
Did you know that cats can get CATaracts? We get them from diseases, meds, trauma to the eyes, aging, or even toxins. Some cats are even born with them. Dogs can get cataracts from the sun so I suppose feral and outdoor cats can too. Cataract surgery in cats is very similar to human cataract surgery complete with a new lens implanted to take the place of the cloudy one. You only get one pair of eyes so protect them. We know that most cats can't really wear sunglasses but that's what photo editors are for.

You look good in sun glasses CK. I don't trust any cat with wearing sunglasses at night. They must be up to no good. Kali tried wearing sunglasses at night but she couldn't see her paw in front of her face. Seeing she is accident prone at the best of times, she decided to only wear them during the day.

Hey CK, yes, mommy did have to have da laser pawrt done after her surgery, but her has an astigmatism and insurance didn't cover those lenses. Da doctor didn't even tell her 'bout it till they wheeled her in to surgery so she didn't have da oppurrtunity to say anythin' or try to get da money fur da lenses herself. Anyways, dat's why even tho' she had da surgery and da laser to clear them up, she still sees blur and not so good. But we's glad to hear TW and Pops did well with it.

DSHS informs City it will not renew Eastside Off-leash Dog Park lease; City working to keep park open
The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) has informed the City that they would not be renewing our lease for the Eastside Off-leash Dog Park located on the Fircrest campus. The current lease is set to expire on December 31, 2019. DSHS also informed us that due to safety concerns they would be restricting public access to the park by closing the gates to vehicular access between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. That change went into effect over the Labor Day weekend.
The City has leased the Eastside Off-Leash Dog Park from DSHS for the past six years. As the landlord, DSHS has the authority to make these changes. However, we will continue to work collaboratively with them to see if we can help resolve their concerns around safety and access in order to keep this valuable amenity accessible to our community.

This year, the full 250 hours of interviews I conducted for the BBS Documentary are going online at the Internet Archive.
There's already a collection of them up, from when I first set out to do this. Called "The BBS Documentary Archive", it's currently 32 items from various interviews, including a few clip farms and full interviews of a bunch of people who sat with me back in the years of 2002-2004 to talk about all matter of technology and bulletin board history.
That collection, as it currently stands, is a bit of an incomplete mess. Over the course of this project, it will become a lot less so. I'll be adding every minute of tape I can recover from my storage, as well as fixing up metadata where possible. Naturally you will be asked to help as well.
