The first storm of the season arrived in Rosario last Friday, October 26, at about 7:15 PM. If this is going to become the norm for mid-Spring and summer (and it certainly looks like it), we're in for a lot of trouble. At least we didn't get hail, like last year. Yet.
For some strange chance, I left home for Japanese school earlier than usual. I had hurried a bit in order to have a chance to go with my camera and take some sunset pictures before the class began. I packed my umbrella just in case. I realized I wouldn't be able to take pictures because it was cloudy, and I also realized I was hungry, so I left the camera at home, and when I arrived at the school, I sat down at the shokudō and asked Alicia-san for a piece of her delicious ricotta cake and a carton of juice to wash it down and cool myself (it was like 30 degrees!) while I waited for sensei to come.
Five minutes later I heard a loud whoosh outside, then another, and then all hell broke loose. It was as if a million giant rain machines up in the sky had been turned on at once. Gusts of wind over 100 km/h forced us to close the windows. Thunder and lightning shook the walls.
The fluorescent lights flickered and turned off for a couple of seconds while we were in class, then came back again. At 9 PM the class was over and it was still raining, though not heavily. I was wearing sandals, so I got my feet wet, but nothing else. As a classmate and I stumbled over broken tree branches, paddles filled with dirty water and leaves, and unexpected holes in the sidewalk, we saw an uprooted tree leaning against a house, and severed power cables dangling from the lines.
I got back to a pitch-dark neighbourhood lit only by passing cars and by the occasional shop that held on using a portable generator. At home, my family was having dinner with candles — nothing romantic about that.
The blackout lasted more than I'd expected, and in fact longer than any other previous blackout I can remember. Power came back after 25–26 hours. On Saturday I had plans to do a photo tour (I'll tell you about that later) and I had to visit a friend to charge the battery of my camera in his house. Since pictures are worth several orders of magnitude more than words, I'll let you see by yourselves.

A dream so dark
"Still reeling from her recent battle (and grounded until she graduates high school), Alice must cross the Veil to rescue her friends and stop the Black Knight once and for all. But the deeper she ventures into Wonderland, the more topsy-turvy everything becomes. It's not until she's at her wits end that she realizes--Wonderland is trying to save her. There's a new player on the board; a poet capable of using Nightmares to not only influence the living but raise the dead. This Poet is looking to claim the Black Queen's power--and Alice's budding abilities--as their own. Dreams have never been so dark in Wonderland, and if there is any hope of defeating this mystery poet's magic, Alice must confront the worst in herself, in the people she loves, and in the very nature of fear itself"-- Publisher's description.

JAKARTA (TheInsiderStories) – Indonesian Financial Services Authority (FSA) will revise the minimum capital requirement for market risk, said one senior official last week. The policy taken after the meeting of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in Basel, Swiss.
FSA' chairman Wimboh Santoso stated, the first agreement is a revision of the approach to calculating minimum capital requirements for market risk to mitigate imperfections in the previous approach. These improvements include establishing a clearer boundary between trading book and banking book also more risk-sensitive calculation approach.
This change complements a number of guidelines in the previous Basel III document that was published in December 2017, specifically related to Pillar 1 in response to the occurrence of the global financial crisis.
The revised market risk calculation framework has three approaches, namely the Internal Model Approach, Standardized Approach, and the Simplified Standardized Approach.
"However, for the capital adequacy calculation of market risk, banks in Indonesia are only required to use standardized approach and the simplified standardized approach which are more careful and relevant," he said in a written statement.
Wimboh added that Indonesia is always committed to guard the implementation of Basel III in Indonesia, while taking into account the characteristics and interests of the national banking system (best fit for Indonesia).
In 2016 Indonesia has been subject to regulatory consistency assessment program (RCAP), by obtaining compliant ratings (C) for RCAP Liquidity Coverage Ratio and large compliant for RCAP Capital.

Staff and to do's
Staff and to do'sSo, HGM you said you be looking for new Dev in another thread? Consider some of this before bringing a new person on board.
I talked to a few in game and came to some simple solutions others like myself don't log much anymore.
1. I don't even care about experience and levels anymore. We as players beat this topic to death and settled that this is about as good as it gets. Given that thought from others, what else is there? Get an event staff member(s). Someone who will log on at some kind of regular basis and run some kind of event. Anything from Finding hidden objects, Finding a Gm, Portal mazes and dare I say, the occasional raid. Maybe do some kind of weekly/monthly GM Item/Item of choice quest again.
2. Straighten our your webshop and accounts from past domain. Do you and the staff above you realize just how many people really feel ripped off because thier ws gold did not follow them to this updated site? Take care of your paying customers is all I'm saying, Good business practice keeps good retention ratios.
3. Stop deleting all negative posts. Nothing wrong with a little constructive criticism.

RE: Staff and to do'sI agree 100% with you Wasted.
I think a lot of the player's criticizing the Saga Staff is because we do not see much GM activity and we are not kept informed about content being worked on.
Like Wasted suggested, I think small events is what players are asking for. Pop in from time to time and run some small events, such as a "GM Find me Event". Hide somewhere on 1 of the 5 islands, and have a choice of rewards for the winners to choose from. You could do an Arakas find me event for the low level players, and then immediately after, you could run a find me event on 1 of the 4 other islands for the remaining players. Players who participate in the Arakas find me event, cannot participate in higher islands events.
I ran a cool event as a GM on Trilogy. With the permission of HGM, you can turn on drops from EVENT ONLY. "Announce to players" that you are at the top floor of Mad's House. First player to get to the top of Mad's House and find the GM wins a GM item of choice. GM can decide which GM items are off limits. This is a very fun event because it gives the players a choice, do they want to camp the various floors of Mad's House and kill other players, or do they want to go for the BIG PRIZE at the top? The players on Trilogy thought this event was a blast! It gives people a chance to strengthen or weaken ties against rival or ally guilds.
When it comes to content updates or server fixes, I think the general consensus on the server is that 4i and Iceland mobs really need to be fixed. The mobs are too strong, and players are forced to go 300end if the want to reach top level. There should be areas where 100, 125, 180 end players can exp as well. 300end players should get the best exp spots, but lower Endurance players should also be able to get to level 180 range. The way it's setup now, players are forced into a 300 end build...So basically all the other armor sets are useless, and it doesn't allow any experimentation when creating your characters.
Anyways, these are just my thoughts, and I share some of the same frustration as the other players. I think the focus should be put on fixing 4i and Iceland before working on anything else. I think players would be content if they were given updates on how things are progressing with these fixes.

ReThanks for all your input and I have taken note. I do always like to hear from you guys, and hope to see you all online soon! I have been holding several events, and as a reward several players have received Interaction Points.. you must not have been online when I held them.
I am working with the HGM at the moment to get a lot of the updates / bugs figured out. We will keep you informed.
Please don't be shy.. I love to hear your input/comments..

A somewhat mixed seminar on global climate change, showing the sharpest and fuzziest thinking on the subject. The former got me thinking about the latter. There seems to be a broad typology of bad thinking about problems:
1) There is no problem.
1a) The problem is a myth, or only believed by cranks and enemies.
- It could never happen.
- The evidence is flawed.
- It's all tree-hugging nonsense.
- The Nazi's were environmentalists, you know.
1b) The real problem is something else.
- It's not corporations, it's greedy car drivers.
- It's not economics, it's lack of spirituality.
1c) There is a problem, but don't worry because the solution is in hand.
- All we need to do to combat climate change is use non-bio washing powder. Or put up car tax.
- The free market will develop new technology to cope, so we just need to keep doing what we're doing already.
- Our company is researching wind turbines.
- Climate change is gradual, so we'll have time to adapt.
2) There is no solution.
2a) There's nothing we can do.
- The corporations will never switch to ecological methods, because it's too expensive.
- There's not enough time to build a world movement.
- Pollution is a result of industrial capitalism, which is the result of human nature.
- If we solve Global Warming, we get Global Dimming, which is even worse.
- Global Warming is natural and therefore unstoppable, not manmade and therefore controllable.
2b) It turns out there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
- The process has gone too far to be reversible.
Anyway, I've got it on tape, so can dissect it further later.
I think I have a cold. I don't especially need to be snuffling with a muzzy head tomorrow, adding new items to Simon M's ebay business and and summarising the SWP conference at a meeting in the evening.
Gareth E wants advice in running a website - starting with web page design. My advice - to hand code where possible and keep the layout simple - will be diametrically opposed to most of the advice he recieves.

Australian Sires: All Too Hard
By Kristen Manning
One of the most impressive wins at Sandown on Wednesday was that recorded by the exciting colt Superhard.
Up in class off a smart Pakenham maiden debut victory, the Robert Smerdon trained colt finished strongly and is a horse to follow being nominated for the Caulfield Guineas and the Caulfield Classic.
Superhard is one of 15 winners from the debut crop of Vinery Stud's All Too Hard, the four times Group One winner best known as being a half-brother to the mighty Black Caviar.
A half-brother to the Gr.2 winner Twilight Royale, Superhard is out of the Royal Academy mare Royal Season who hails from an influential international family – one to which Superhard is line-bred.
Superhard's grandsire Casino Prince is out of a mare by Last Tycoon whose sire Try My Best has as his third dam Stolen Hour… also Royal Season's fourth dam. Meanwhile Royal Season carries strains of the 3/4 brothers Nijinsky II and The Minstrel who are descendants of Stolen Hour's third dam Torpenhow.
Also the sire of Listed winner Curdled and the stakes placed gallopers All Too Huiying and Mystic Empire, All Too Hard had another winner at the Seymour meeting on Thursday, Superhard's well related stablemate All Come True saluting at just her second start.
Bred by John Singleton's Strawberry Hill Stud, the $300,000 Magic Millions graduate bred on a 5 X 5 cross of Vain is out of the two times winning Galileo mare Dreams And Wishes whose dam is the Gr.3 Tristarc Stakes winner Procrastinate, dam of South African star Laisserfaire and local stakes winners A Time For Julia, Time Thief, Foreplay and Personify.
All Too Hard has another promising type racing this weekend in the shape of Aberro.
Showing plenty of promise during his debut campaign for the Matt Laurie stable, the good-looking chestnut was thought highly enough of to contest the Gr.1 Champagne Stakes before a break.
Resuming with a determined victory over 1300m at Sandown on August 16, Aberro steps up in grade in the Sweeney Handicap at Moonee Valley on Saturday.
Amongst the favourites in the 1509m contest, Aberro is taking it one step at a time as he heads for greater riches later in the spring.
A 3/4 brother to the now retired Gr.1 South Australian Derby winner Escado (by All Too Hard's sire Casino Prince), Aberro was bred by his owner John Ferguson out of the terrific mare Secret Cause.
Line-bred to his own ancestress Frizette (of whom the great Mr Prospector is also a descendant), Aberro is a half-brother to the Gr.2 Edward Manifold Stakes winner Se Sauver from the same branch of the Frizette family as Group One winners Comandante Dodge, Gregorian, Gold And Ivory, Anees, Heart Of Darkness, Arkadina, Heavenly Romance, Dark Lomond, Margarula and Milleverof.
Kristen Manning is a freelance racing writer and pedigree analyst based in Melbourne. A keen owner/breeder who loves every aspect of thoroughbred horse racing, she has written two books focusing on the deeds of Fields Of Omagh and Prince Of Penzance.

Andrew Williams has had a clean sweep on evening television tonight. Close Up and Campbell Live covering his drunken shenanigans
On Campbell Live he lied, and lied and lied. So did the bar staff. On Close Up the Clown rolled out Grant Gillon to smear and lie for him, thus now implicating Gillon in the cover-up. It is actually sad to watch The Clown lie and lie and lie, the man has a problem and he just won't face up to it. He is clearly paranoid that htere is some sort of vast conspiracy to get him for some reason. It isn't vast it is mostly just me and I feel vindicated by drawing attention to this idiots behaviour for the past 2 and half years. As Nick Kearney said on Close Up, it isn't him drinking the piss, it isn't him driving drunk, it isn't him drunk texting, and it isn't him drunk emailing. Grant Gillon is probably going to be sued by SST and Jonathan Marshall for his scurrilous attack on them. Gillon made a cock of himself describing the nice Nick Kearney guy as Rodney Hide's henchman.
In order to believe Andrew Williams this is what you need to understand.
- Andrew Williams said on Saturday to Jonathan Marshall that he was home all night, then he hid behind his missus on Sunday and she said he didn't come home drunk, in other words he was out when he said he was home. Then today he told the Herald that he was out and wasn't over the limit (though how he could know, I have no idea), once again at odds with his first interview and then tonight on Campbell Live he confirms he was out and prior to arriving at GPK he was at an "council meeting regarding an important property matter", which is in stark contrast to the owners of another restaurant who declared that Andrew Williams was at their establishment from 12pm until 6pm.
- That, after more than 10 hours drinking at two different establishments he then walked soberly down to his office and calmly drove home and didn't piss on a tree.
- The was then stone cold sober when he sent an email from home where he had been all night working hard as a mayor should do, when he was actually not at a meeting but in fact at another restaurant followed by another restaurant, after drinking for 10 hours straight. He was of course stone cold sober when he wrote "I won?t be there as I have the Auck?land May?oral Forum on Fri?day Morn?ing but I would gladly give them a a piece if my mind if I was. They will be get?ting off lightly with my being?away."
- Pissing on a tree in public is "trivia".
- Hurstmere Road, the main street of Takapuna, with bars and restaurants lining it and public toilets is a long walk in the dark from GPK to the Council buildings. (500 metres would be a long way if you were pissed)
An OIA of the Mayors diary should show him to be a liar. If it was such an important property matter then there should be minutes of that meeting, with a record of the attendees. He should also now be telling us exactly who he was with at both restaurants, when Jonathan Marshall says he was alone. These are easy details to verify. The bar staff should also show their timesheets that they were working that night (oops has one been telling porkies?) and why their story tonight is different from the statements they gave on tape to Jonathan Marshall on Thursday night? Perhaps they have realised that to tell the truth would imperil the boss's liquor license by continuing to serve a pissed clown who was busy trying to grope people.
Not one statement of the Mayor or his missus lines up. The bar staff even got the wine he was drinking wrong, Jonathan Marshall has some of the receipts.
We now know that he was at Portifino Resturant instead of the "council meeting on important property matters". Lucky for the Clown,? Portifino is but a 100m away from GPK and it is all down hill enabling him to roll into GPK easily. From GPK to the council buildings where his council provided car was is just another 500m again down hill or flat. Even accounting for weaving he would have traveled walked stumbled less than 700m, apparently all in the dark.
As for the matter of Hurstmere Road and alleys being dark, well, what can I say? BTW Google Maps says the quickest way walking from GPK to The Council building is via Hurstmere Road, so does my Vodafone GPS.
When will Andrew Williams come clean and tell the truth? The only story hasn't changed is Jonathan Marshall's, he has even released further information today, I'd expect more as the Clown digs in under his mountain of lies.

Proving that vegetables can be as satisfying as meat, chef Sean Baker serves this mushroom pâté on the vegan "charcuterie" plate at his Berkeley restaurant, Gather. More Amazing Vegetarian Dishes
How to Make It
Put the pecans in a bowl and cover with cold water. Let stand for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, in a small heatproof bowl, cover the porcini with the boiling water and let stand until softened, about 15 minutes. Rub the porcini to remove grit; transfer them to a small bowl. Reserve the soaking liquid.
Cut the portobello caps in half and, with a sharp paring knife, trim off the dark gills on the underside of each one. Slice the caps into 1/4-inch-thick pieces.
In a bowl, whisk together the tamari, olive oil, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, rosemary and miso. Add the sliced portobellos and toss to coat thoroughly. Let stand for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
In a small saucepan, combine the soaked porcini and sun-dried tomatoes. Slowly pour in the porcini soaking liquid, stopping before you reach the grit at the bottom. Bring the liquid to a boil, cover and simmer over low heat until the tomatoes are tender, about 4 minutes.
Drain the pecans and transfer them to a food processor. With a slotted spoon, transfer the marinated portobellos, porcini and tomatoes to the processor; puree to a coarse paste, adding about 1/4 cup of the porcini cooking liquid. Add a little more of the porcini liquid if the mixture is too thick. Season lightly with salt.
Transfer the pâté to a crock and serve with toasted baguette rounds.
Make Ahead
Nutritional yeast is available at health-food stores and at vitaminshoppe.com.

As you may remember, Mr. Groundhog is a thorn in my husband's green thumb, and a constant reminder that our backyard falls far short of my husband's HGTV-inspired vision. Our yard has more weeds and fallen twigs than these gardening shows recommend, not to mention the wild Virginia creeper that twists along the fence like a hopelessly knotted string of Christmas lights, but according to my husband it is the groundhog that is to blame for the yard's shortcomings. It is the groundhog's fault that the dirt is weak and full of holes; the groundhog's handiwork (or teeth work) that inhibits the growth of lush greenery.
Earlier this season, encouraged by HGTV's suggestion that Juicy Fruit and Ex-lax are reliable, harmless agents that force the relocation of unwanted groundhogs, my husband stuffed the ingredients into Mr. Groundhog's burrow beneath our kids' old toy playhouse. Though I question the experts' claim that groundhogs will run from the scent of gum and Ex-lax, I must admit that Mr. Groundhog made fewer appearances than usual this past summer. As weeds grew over the "front door" to the groundhog's burrow, it looked as though my husband had finally bested his furry, fat enemy.
No longer concerned with the groundhog, my husband tackled other backyard projects, like tearing down the old, dilapidated storage shed, and discarding its rusty contents. What's left of the shed now rests in a neat pile awaiting the dumpster. Without the wooden eyesore, we can now see my neighbor's lovely apple tree - and watch falling apples collect on our side of the fence.
Apparently, so can Mr. Groundhog.
This past weekend, I looked out the window into the yard, and saw our furry tenant emerge from a neat, new hole beneath the discarded wood of the storage shed, within easy access of the spoils of my neighbor's fruit tree. Mr. Groundhog waddled a few feet to the fence, snatched up an apple, and contentedly munched. Sated, he then squeezed his ample girth back into his new home. Thanks to Juicy Fruit and Ex-lax, the groundhog has changed his address, and now has an ample food supply well within his reach, and no longer has to waddle the entire length of the yard for nourishment.
Ah, the lessons Mother Nature teaches us!
Contentment, it seems, is a highly personal issue. My husband is content in knowing that his Juicy Fruit/Ex-lax campaign did, in fact, succeed in harmlessly relocating Mr. Groundhog from beneath the playhouse; I am content watching the wildlife from my window until spring returns; and Mr. Groundhog is quite content in his new, well protected burrow beneath the wood pile.

A few days before my surgery this card practically fell out of my diary.
It's from my friend Laura, who has always been the world's best giver of cards. ALWAYS. Since the first day I met her. Actually before I met her. I think she sent me a card before we even met in our college dorm, just to reach out and say hello before college officially started.
I have tried to keep the cards over the years, but they have ended up in places I can't remember, scrapbooks, drawers, this one was in a diary.
But I love to think it fell into my hands at exactly the right time. A little reminder that we get by with a little help from our friends.
Which I am, as I settle back into a real routine – albeit with two robot boobs and drains poking out of my chest. Just a few more days and all will be back to normal.
But I appreciate all the cards and notes and texts and emails and photos… every single one is a little reminder that I have friends helping me get through.
And I think that's pretty beautiful.
More tomorrow.

Spiritual Adoption
December 2018 – September 2019
"I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb" (Jeremiah 1:5).
"I've got elbows! You should see me practice bending and flexing them. I also have a sense of balance thanks to my inner ear, which is already being formed. It's never too early to begin my daily exercise routine even though I'm only about an inch long! Mom would be surprised to know all the things I can do. She hasn't even felt me yet!"
And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me. ~ Matthew 18:5
Fr. Dan and the St. Maximilian Kolbe Celebrate Life Committee
With the unfortunate passing of the Reproductive Act we want to highlight some of the great organizations that are offered in this area:
All Babies Cherished Pregnancy Assistance Center is a Christ centered organization and is willing to share the Word of God through words and deeds.
The center provides emotional support, encouragement, guidance, life skills and parenting, as well as of an array of other classes, and practical assistance to mothers and fathers, as well as on-going family support as needed during pregnancy and the first three years of the child's life.
Mother Teresa Home supports homeless pregnant and/or parenting young people who are in need of basic necessities like food and shelter. The goal of the program is to teach young mothers parenting skills, education, health and much more to help with their long-term economic independence.
It is a sanctuary for those who need a fresh start.

Rural America is no stranger to drug waves. Methamphetamine swept through small towns and farming communities with a vengeance just over a decade ago. Home-based meth labs were dangerous but cheap and the ingredients were easily found to produce the drug. Then those ingredients were more tightly regulated as awareness grew on the method of production and use waned.
Since then, another drug has crept its way into suburban and rural America. Heroin has also taken over these areas and is claiming lives and record rates. The rise in heroin use increased production of the drug as cartels made routes into the country and the abundance of the drug drove the price down. Authorities are reporting that many rural towns in Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana have heroin prices of $10 for a small bag, which is the same price as major many major cities. This shows that the drug is available in abundance in nearly every part of the nation.
In order to understand why the heroin problem is growing so rapidly in smaller towns it is important to realize the massive influence of what becomes cultural norms among teens. Often called peer pressure, it really is more of an effort to try things that other kids are trying in an attempt to fit in. This is true of fashion, music and other trends as well. The major difference here, though, is that heroin is a highly addictive substance and has a very high potential for overdose.
Another influence that may be spurring the heroin problem in rural communities is the lack of preventative measures taken. Boredom sets in easier in some small towns and young people seek something different to do. Without effective drug prevention measures their boredom can often turn to substance abuse.
Various forms of interventions are necessary, from the education and awareness programs early on to family interventions to get their loved ones into treatment.

Should I Become an Organic Farmer?
Organic farmers raise crops using natural pest control and fertilizers as well as other sustainable techniques, such as composting. This profession requires an intimate knowledge of the land and the life cycles of plants and insects. To prepare for an organic farming career, a potential farmer must become acquainted with working outside. Organic farmers spend a good deal of time outdoors, and their work can be physically demanding. A year-round, 7-day work week with long hours is common. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that farming jobs in general will decline over the 2012-2022 decade, but due to the growing popularity of organic goods, organic agriculture is actually on the rise.

Step 1: Get Farming Experience
Organic farmers need to have an intimate knowledge of the land and soil they work with. It is important for potential farmers to become familiar with farming processes and get accustomed to working outside. Experience in weeding, tilling, planting and harvesting are just some of the skills a farmer must be proficient in.
Aspiring farmers can begin by obtaining entry-level positions with farms, nurseries, landscaping companies or many other businesses that rely on working the land. Some farms offer formal internships to farmers looking for hands-on experience. The National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) offers a program known as ATTRA, which has listings for apprenticeships and internships at sustainable farms.
Step 2: Consider Obtaining a Degree
There are no formal education requirements for organic farmers; however, earning a college degree is becoming increasingly important for modern organic farmers. Many colleges and universities have created organic agriculture degree programs to cultivate this niche sector of farming. Potential organic farmers may earn an associate or bachelor's degree in organic agriculture to learn about food science, economics, farm marketing, crop production and soil management.
Success Tip:
- Take advantage of any hands-on and extra-curricular farming activities offered at the school. Some schools may have an organic farming club that is designed for students who wish to volunteer and help grow different organic foods. Students may also have the opportunity to sell the foods they grow at a farm stand located on the campus.
Step 3: Get Certified
The developing trend of growing organic foods has led the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to require organic farmers who make more than $5,000 per year to get certified by an accredited agency. Farmers who are not certified cannot label their foods as organic. The USDA provides an organic certification standard that is adopted by state government agencies and private businesses for certifying farmers. NCAT noted that certification prices may vary between agencies in the U.S. that are approved by the USDA.
Once the farmer has chosen a certifying agency, they'll need to submit an application. The application includes detailed information about the specific farming practices and waste management procedures of the individual farm. Once the application is complete, someone will be assigned to complete an on-site inspection to ensure that the farm is legitimate.
Success Tip:
- Create a Production Plan. Part of the application process requires organic farmers to submit farm plans and answer questions about the operation. Farmers must figure out how to deal with non-organic contamination and other potential crop-threatening events before submitting an application, so planning for these requirements early on could make it easier to complete the certification process.
Step 4: Advance Your Career
Organic farmers who own or lease their own land can expand business by increasing the marketing of their goods or finding a popular niche market. Creating business relationships with local restaurants or starting a CSA (community supported agriculture) program are other ways to increase the success of an organic farming operation.
