Introducing a Game Changer to the Server to Save the Economy
Kifune replied to Kifune's question in Feedback & SuggestionsYes, these items can be put into the selling list of the NPC. And of course, price check has to be done for everything before implementing it.

Introducing a Game Changer to the Server to Save the Economy
Kifune posted a question in Feedback & SuggestionsHi admin team, We all know that people with supplies will be the one who determine the prices. People who have the most MVP cards, for example, will be selling them for any prices that they feel 'reasonable'. And for some, especially newbies, this 'reasonable' will only make them harder to hang onto this server. My idea is to eliminate these people who think of their prices as 'reasonable' by introducing a NPC which is selling items for zenny or coins as per definition in accordance to the NPC's version of 'reasonable'. Yes, this NPC will be the one who determine the prices of these items. So what happen to these people who are trying to control the economy do? Either they would be selling the items at the same price as the NPC or they would lower down their prices. Instead of competing against this NPC, they will be competing with other players too in prices. Newbie will have a chance of surviving in this server, this would encourage more trades among the players at 'more reasonable' prices. Even if this don't work out between the players, people will always have an option to go for the NPC. Prices of these items should not be too low so that things don't go overpopulated in this server. Please consider. Hope to hear from the rest, especially from the admin team. P/S: Please note, I said items. I did not specifically said MVP cards. MVP cards are only used as an example.

What's the success rate for slotting Temporal boots?
Kifune replied to Hersheys's question in Ingame SupportI broke 5 times straight just now when slotting my STR boots
Mathematically speaking, how is it possible for one to sum a value with percentage as they are both in different forms? Unless you converted the total value and change it to get its percentage. But hey, I get what you meant. See the contradictions that you made in your statements? You first said it's based on drop rate so I asked how you got that from? And now you're quoting Everade's statement (as a reference). Is it not funny? Anyway, back to what I asked, do you have any reference to back up what you said. I mean this statement down here that you said. Hope to hear from you.
Can you show me how you calculated it? I don't remember asking for the value. I asked that whether it's based in drop rate chance (your assumption or please show evidences for this) or per Luk (based on what Everade said). That's why I highlighted it. Please read carefully. I asked for evidences or references. You showed me examples that you made of your own based on your assumptions. Therefore, please read and understand what I wanted and not replying what is there not related to the questions. I wish to hear from Everade too.
Thanks for the example, this I understood clearly. Is this not 442% in increment? Now I see our differences in understandings. Can you tell me where you got this from? That it's based in drop rate chance? Everade only stated 0.01% chance increase per Luk. No drop rate chance is referenced. Also, can you refer me to how this is related to your calculated figure will be added to the base drop rate? Please understand I'm not challenging you but I need evidences for my understanding. I think it's bad to spread false things to people. For understanding purposes, please show me your evidences or references. Much appreciated. Thanks!
Hi, I took my time to read it, yet I felt something was wrong with the interpretation that I got from you and from Everade. As stated by Everade, 0.01% chance increase per Luk Taking back the LUK = 342 example, should the increased drop rate should yield 3.42%. Hence the new total drop rate would be 4.42%. This is my understanding and that's why I asked. Can you verify my understanding? Please enlighten me. Thanks!
Can I ask where you get this formulae from? Thanks!
Gale Windscar reacted to a post in a topic: Account Plus - Premium Membership
No, the system still rolls twice, with the exception that the drop rate now has been increased by 50% in a VIP account. Taking back your example on the Dew Laden Moss from Plankton @ 10% (basic account + without bubblegum effect), VIP account will in turn gives you a drop rate of 15% (without bubblegum effect). Therefore to calculate the new drop rate of Dew Laden Moss from Plankton in a VIP account with bubblegum effect in terms of probabilities, while taking account of the system for rolling twice, the event of failure should take place first before the successful event [P(F) * P(S)] since the system does not allow a second drop IF the first event is successful, following the usual probability formulae: P(S) + [P(F) * P(S)] = 0.15 + (0.85*0.15) = 0.28 Hence, the drop rate will be 28% after using bubblegum for a VIP account. Just in case you're curious of the drop rate of the MVP card, P(S) + [P(F) * P(S)] = 0.015 + (0.985*0.015) = 0.0298 The drop rate has been increased from 1% (basic account + without bubblegum effect) to 2.98% (VIP account + bubblegum effect). That's approximately 3 times higher than of usual drop rate. Hope that helps. Side Note: 1) P(S) = Probability of SUCCESS drop rate P(F) = Probability of FAILURE drop rate
Yes, they do stack with bubblegum. As for the command part, I have no idea about it.

If there's one thing to be said for dental emergencies – it is that they usually happen when you least expect them or at the most inconvenient time. You would not believe the number of emergencies that happen when people travel out of town on business or on Saturdays when most dentists in Carmichael are closed.
Immediately After Your Emergency
As soon as you experience a dental emergency, call our dental office. We are even open on Saturdays! The goal should be to have professional dental care within one hour of your emergency. Faster care means less time in pain and more successful options for repairing your tooth. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can prepare for your arrival and treatment.
Chipped or Broken Teeth
Broken or chipped tooth enamel may be able to bond back to your tooth. If possible, locate your broken tooth fragment, even if it is dirty. Gently rinsing it off is all that you need to do as far as cleaning it. The most important part is to place your tooth fragment into a cup of milk or contact solution and bring it to our office immediately. Tap water can be used if nothing else is available, but it isn't the preferred method.
Knocked Out Teeth
Avulsed ("knocked out") teeth should be stored the same way. It is extremely important that you do not scrub your tooth clean, as this could remove the microscopic fibers that may enable it to be reimplanted. If you feel up to it, try placing the tooth back into its socket and holding it in place while you're making your way to our office.
Abscesses or Swelling
Abscessed teeth or swelling around the face should not be ignored. In some rare circumstances it may even lead to hospitalization. Apply a warm damp cloth to the side of the face affected and alternate it with a cold compress every 10-15 minutes. An anti-inflammatory medication can also be used. In most cases we will recommend taking an antibiotic to clear up initial infection before treatment. Some areas of swelling may be so severe that they need to be drained in our office.
Tooth Pain
Anti-inflammatories are usually the preferred pain reliever for toothaches, as most pain is due to inflammation caused by infection. Moderate to severe pain warrants immediate dental care, but minor tooth discomfort can potentially wait a day or two until you can work a dental appointment into your busy schedule.
Broken Crowns and Fillings
If a restoration breaks off of your tooth, you need to have the tooth repaired in a timely manner. Otherwise the compromised enamel can break down to the point that it is no longer restorable (meaning that the tooth will have to be pulled.)
Emergency Dental Care in Carmichael
Marconi Dental Group has convenient office hours including Saturday appointment times so that you can get the emergency dental care that you need. Our first priority is to get you out of pain and help you save your tooth. Whether we've seen you for years or you are looking for a new dentist in Carmichael – we urge all patients to call us for their emergency dental care.

This recipe was sent to us by Michelle, one of our online blogger mums. Her challenge was to cook a kids picnic meal for the family using turkey.
What we thought:
My kids love kebabs, food on sticks somehow seems much more fun, and that's what they suggested I make when I asked for their ideas. We were planning a picnic dinner our neighbours when the UK weather decided to unleash a torrential downpour complete with accompanying thunder storm! Undeterred we had an indoor dinner and the kebabs which were to be served in tortilla wraps with salad ended up being served with rice and mixed vegetables.
Serves: 3-4
Prep: 60min
Cook: 20min
Essential Ingredient:
Turkey Breast Fillets
For the Satay Marinade:
1 Tblsp oil
1 onion, very finely chopped
1 tsp ginger, finely grated
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp curry powder
4 Tblsp crunchy peanut butter
200ml water
2 tsp honey
1 Tblsp soy sauce
1 Tblsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
For the Honey Soy Marinade
2 Tblsp soy sauce
1 Tblsp honey
1 tsp tomato paste
1 Tblsp oil
1 Tblsp wholegrain mustard
Send me ingredients list
To serve:
Serve with mixed vegetables and rice.
These turkey kebabs are tasty and versatile.
If you are using wooden skewers soak them in water for at least half an hour before you use them to avoid them burning.
Make the marinades in two separate bowls.
Add half of the sliced turkey to each bowl.
Coat the turkey in the marinade and leave to marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Thread the turkey onto the skewers and preheat your oven to 180C.
Line an oven tray with a double layer non-stick baking paper folded in the middle to form a division which will enable you to cook both flavours of kebab at the same time.
Lay the kebabs on the prepared oven tray and cook in your preheated oven for 15 - 20 minutes until the turkey is cooked and the juices run clear.

Identifying your next big opportunity among a myriad of global trends is a daunting task.
Addressing this challenge is the driving ambition of the Global Opportunity Report. Like the first and second editions, the 2017 report focuses on five global risks. The risks covered by the third edition are: cities disrupted by climate change; cyber threats; rising inequality; soil depletion; and unstable regions. Based on these risks 15 corresponding opportunities via a thorough review process with experts and a global survey engaging 5,500 leaders were mapped.With risks ranging from extreme weather, water shortage, and unsustainable urbanisation to non-communicable disease, youth unemployment, and the global food crisis, we recommend you consult all three Global Opportunity Reports and seek out the risk areas most relevant for you.
In this year's report, stock has been taken in a "Trends" chapter to decipher what defines the 45 new markets we have uncovered during the three years of this project, and how businesses can work with them.

By Adrienne Ross – http://www.motivationtruth.com
Chuck Heath, Sr. and Chuck, Jr. encountered family and friends at many of the Our Sarah book tour locations, and every where they went they made others feel like family and friends. Now, this adventure in the Lower 48 has come to an end. They have had the experience of a lifetime, and we have certainly enjoyed vicariously accompanying them on every stop. After a schedule that took them to a plethora of states, the last of which was Washington State, the Heaths are headed back to the great state of Alaska. I miss them already.
Chuck Jr. journals on Facebook:
This is a picture from our signing tonight. These are some of our relatives that showed up: Greg and Brandi Jones, Kate and Tom Johnson… not pictured are my Uncle Ron and Aunt Colleen Jones. We also had friends show up from as far away as our old hometown of Skagway, Alaska (thanks Fred and Kathy Hosford).
This is a bittersweet post for us. We just finished our final book signing in the Lower 48, here in Richland, Washington. Dad and I are physically and mentally exhausted from three weeks on the road. We've crossed the country, met some incredible people, done over fifty interviews, and along the way, we've become closer as father and son than ever before (even though there have definitely been times when we wanted to strangle each other). After all of our adventures, a big part of us doesn't want it to end. We still want to get out to other places to share our adventures in Alaska and our time with Sarah, but we have families that we miss very much waiting patiently for us at home.
We're not completely done, though. We will be returning to Alaska late tomorrow night, and then we'll head out to Wasilla, Friday, to do another interview with Fox and Friends (from Sarah's little studio) at 3:00am! If you watch it Saturday morning, I'll be the guy with the dark bags under my eyes and dad will be the guy mumbling incoherently beside me. Just joking dad… sort of.
Today was a very busy day for us. Besides the book signing in Richland, we also did three radio and two television interviews. They all seemed to go well, but you never know how they'll come across. We also had dinner with my uncle, Ron Jones, his wife, Colleen, and his son Greg and wife Brandi. As usual, our time with family was too short.
I just want you guys that are following us to know how much we appreciate you. Your comments gave us the fuel we needed to keep going when we were bone-tired. My favorite part has been hearing from people at the book signings that have actually read the book and told me how much they enjoyed it. That's so nice to hear. I know that dad and I are not a couple of Tolstoys, and we didn't pretend to try to be like that when we wrote the book. We wanted to tell our stories in the same way we relate them orally to our friends.
We'll keep plugging along and we'll try to get our book in people's hands, despite getting little or no help from the mainstream media. Besides the stories about Alaska and Sarah, everyone should hear the stories about the way the media can try to destroy a good person's character.
Thank you again for all your support, and at the request of a lot of you out there, we'll keep posting entries from Alaska, just not as many.
As dad always says when leaving his friends, "We'll see you on down the trail."

Frequently Asked Question
All our Snus is strong but we have 1 kind that really stand out: Siamsnus Chili Snus. In addition to the already strong Snus we also added Chili to it, the result is quite explosive …
If you don't like Chili in your Snus our second strongest Snus is: Siamsnus Bergamot Snus.
The weakest Snus we have is called Siamsnus Mild and we would recommend Siamsnus Mild Portion White. This is the best choice for those who never tried Snus before or want to use it as an aid to quit smoking.
We have never and will never sell advertising spaces and such, but we are happy to link back to you if you link to us, as long as your website is related to Thailand 🙂
Yes, you can just email us your order by using our contact form here. You can also call in you order on phone number: 086 – 544 42 43.
Yes we can do that, just Contact us.
Yes we do. You can find the different tastes here.
A box of Portion Snus from us includes
24 30 bags of about 1.1 grams each. The size of the bags are like the ones sold in Sweden for example, General Portion or the like. From 1/1-2020 we changed the number of bags per box from 24 to 30.
One can of Loose Snus from us contains 50 grams of loose snus. The box is not included in the weight. A full snus box weighs 60 grams and an empty snuff box weighs 10 grams, so there will be 50 grams of loose Snus for you.
It only takes 24 hours to the Bangkok area and the rest of Thailand is 48 hours. Sometimes it can be up to 72 hours if you are staying in the islands. Please note that the post offices in Thailand are usually closed on Sundays. During holidays like Songkran and such there can be delays as well.
Order paid before 14:00 will be sent the same day and order paid after 14:00 will be sent the following day (weekdays).
We are only the manufacturer of Siamsnus and we don't have any shops ourselves that sell it directly. We only sell Online through this website BUT we have resellers in most of the major tourist areas in Thailand .
You can find a list of them here or you can contact us directly.
Yes, there is no problem and actually quite common among our customers. To order to a hotel you just need to enter your name, hotel name the hotels address and your room number.
There are however some things you need to think about if you want to order to a hotel or guest house:
The staff at the hotel can receive the package for you IF it is prepaid.
If you order using "Cash on Delivery" as payment only you can receive the package and you will need to pay for it at the same time.
What will happen if you order using "Cash on Delivery" and are staying at a hotel or guest house can be 1 of 2 things:
1. The mailman will leave a slip for you in the reception. This slip you will need to bring to the nearest post office, pay and collect your package.
2. The mailman will not leave a slip and return it to the post office and the tracking status online will say "Adress not clear, no recipient".
You will notice this by tracking the package with the tracking info you got from us. In this case you just go to the post office stated on the tracking page (always the closest to your adress) with the tracking number provided by us and collect your package.
If your order is prepaid and the hotel staff is informed that you are expecting a package they can and usually will receive it for you.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions about this.
We can give discount on large orders, and even in some cases, if you in return can leave an honest review of our snus.
The production of Portion (Pouch) Snus is associated with more work and larger overhead for us. In order to have a fairly sensible profitability in Portion Snus we must keep a bit higher price on it.
Yes, there are some reviews online, actually.
The blogger Thaininjan wrote a little review about us here.
The travel magazine Vagabond has written about us here.
Do you have a blog related to Thailand and would be willing to review our Snuff you are very welcome to contact us.

February 2016 Commerce Club Featuring David Arsenault, Hyundai Merchant Marine America and Hyundai American Shipping Agency
By Judith Schultz, GHPB
"The Future of the Container Industry" was the topic of the hour as David Arsenault, president and CEO of Hyundai Merchant Marine America (HMM) and Hyundai America Shipping Agency, addressed the Commerce Club luncheon at Brady's Landing on February 11, 2016. Arsenault presented his thoughts to 200-plus attendees at the Commerce Club, outlining the events he believed to be the top ten factors influencing business in 2015 and 2016.
"These are the notable events that I believe affect not only carriers, but all stakeholders," said Arsenault as he introduced the presentation. "This is not an official 'party line', just the 'world according to David Arsenault,'" he added as a disclaimer.
Arsenault named mega ships, intermodal complexity, cargo volumes, truck capacity shortages, chassis model changes, WCO labor disruptions, falling fuel prices, the Chinese economic slowdown, the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, and logistics mergers and acquisitions as his ten most significant influencers of 2015.
Succinctly speaking to each industry event, Arsenault stressed his outlook that business tends to be cyclical in up and down rhythms, and the various factors discussed would lend to reshaping the industry for new opportunities.
Significant factors cited for 2016 were the Panama Canal expansion conclusion, IMO SOLAS Container Weight regulations, mergers and acquisitions, automated commercial environments, grounded ops (terminal automation), a reduced overcapacity trend, a pending ILWU OCU contract expiration (6/30/16), moderate ocean rate recovery, continued carrier financial stress, and government infrastructure budget cuts.
Emerging trends highlighted by Arsenault included a look at vessel utilizations and idle containership fleets. He explained that although the container ships today are twice the size of 2009, the TEU capacity total in the overall industry is similar. He expects vessel size to increase more to accommodate as much as a 10,000 TEU capacity, with new vessels meeting the tighter emissions control and other marine environmental standards in the future. This leaves the question of how to employ the smaller, older vessels.
"Is there another deployment scheme for those smaller vessels? In some markets, yes; in many places, no," he concluded. "Scrapping will escalate as ships come out of service." Arsenault feels these events will serve to level out capacity options in the future and adjust rates upwards again to a more profitable level for business.
Fielding questions during the Q and A time, Arsenault discussed HMM's focus on highly personalized service as part of their brand differentiation objectives and outcome possibilities from the Chinese economic slowdown.
"China has been on a super-heated run," observed Arsenualt. "They are slowing down, but they are still the manufacturer for the world … I don't think it's the end for China. It's just slower growth, but it's still a good one -- 6% to 7%."

Reviewed by Mark and Leslie Degner
MindShift Gear recently released a new line of photo backpacks, the FirstLight series. There are three different sized models available: the FirstLight 20L ($229.99 US), FirstLight 30L ($279.99 US) and the FirstLight 40L ($329.99 US). We received the largest model, the FirstLight 40L, to try out and it's the basis of this review. Other than their sizes there isn't much difference between the three models and we will point out the couple differences that exist as we go through the review.
The FirstLight series of photo backpacks are what we refer to as "traditional" design in which there's one main interior compartment with a series of movable dividers that's accessible from the front side. The first thing that we noticed, and really liked, about the FirstLight 40L backpack was its clean lines and smooth exterior. The two grab handles, one on the top and the other on the side, are really handy for getting the pack in and out of your vehicle or overhead plane storage bins.
There are two large zippered exterior front pockets for carrying miscellaneous items, one of which can be used to hold a laptop or tablet (40L – up to a 17" laptop; 20L and 30L – a 15" laptop or 12" tablet). It should be noted that these front pockets are unpadded. On each side of the backpack is a large water bottle or accessory pocket with drain holes and cinch cords. There is also a dedicated hydration pocket on one side (40L and 30L models only) that holds a 3L water bladder (not included). On the top is a small zippered pocket for easy access to accessories or personal items.
A tripod or monopod can be carried either on the front or the side of the backpack using the included tripod mounting systems. All FirstLight models come with a removable seamless waterproof rain cover that protects the backpack from the elements and it can also be used as a ground cloth.
Another one of the features that we really liked about the FirstLight 40L is the depth of the interior compartment; it easily accommodates a pro-sized DSLR with both a battery grip and L-bracket attached and large telephoto lenses like a 500mm or 600mm f/4 lens. The overall size of the padded internal compartment and large number of various sized closed-cell foam dividers that are included allow for a considerable amount of customization of the internal compartment. There are also four zippered internal mesh pockets for storing a variety of accessories.
Since the FirstLight 40L has such a large capacity it can become very heavy when it's full of camera gear, so in order for this backpack to function properly it must have a harness system that's adjustable and rugged to fit comfortably, distribute the weight properly and handle the weight of the gear. The good news is the harness system on FirstLight backpacks delivers on all accounts. The harness system (shoulder straps, sternum strap and hip belt) has 11 adjustment points, including the ability to lengthen or shorten the torso length. In addition, there are padded back panels and a shaped aluminum torso stay for increased comfort and support. With the backpack fully loaded with as much gear as we could fit in it, we both were able to get it properly adjusted for a comfortable fit for hours of hiking and photography.
The MindShift Gear FirstLight 40L is really well constructed using high-quality materials and zippers and is built to stand up to rigorous professional outdoor use. The robust, comfortable and adjustable harness system makes carrying your camera gear a lot easier. Although the 40L model may be too large for many photographers, and one of the other two smaller models might be more suitable, the FirstLight series of photo backpacks are definitely products that are worth checking out if you're looking for a new camera backpack.

When it comes to attesting auto products tested for extreme work and grave abuse, Mile Marker is the one.
Take a peak at what Mile Marker offers you to give you practical ideas to make your vehicle heavy-duty.
Toughness is spelled in every auto product ever produced by Mile Marker, a leader in manufacturing reinforced automotive parts.
Prepare your vehicle against tough use and abuse with popular Mile Marker automotive parts that are guaranteed of excellence.Step back and admire the amazing and unbeatable look of your auto right after you have installed a Mile Marker grille guard. While there are aftermarket auto products that could enhance the visual aesthetics of your auto, no less than the Mile Marker grille guard can add a tough and aggressive touch to your vehicle within a few minutes of installation. Mile Marker grille guards, or sometimes referred to as the brush guard are constructed from chromed or powder-coated steel tubes that are bolted on to the fascia or your vehicle for the purpose of giving your vehicle a tough road look. Actually, every Mile Marker grille guard is created to add an extra layer of framing for protection of the front end of your vehicle. The extra touch of tough road look is only a secondary purpose in the production of the Mile Marker grille guard. If you value the vital, and not forgetting to mention the fact that they are very expensive, components located at the front of your vehicle and want them to be safeguarded against harsh damages with just a small impact you should get a Mile Marker grille guard for securing the radiator, bumper, battery and grille. Every Mile Marker grille guard comes with a set of durable and reliable steel uprights along with strong rubber push pads and tubular crossbars for easy and safe attachment. Whether you are an on-road driver or an off-road enthusiast, there is a Mile Marker grille guard for you.Mile Marker locking hub. There goes the question of when is the right time to lock the hubs, when the hubs should be unlocked, and whether it is wise to leave the hubs locked for a long period of time. As a car owner and a driver, you have to know what the Mile Marker locking hub is created for. The Mile Marker locking hub is devised to connect or disconnect the two front wheels to and from the front axle shafts. The Mile Marker locking hub is proven to be useful when there is no need for auto parts to be connected to others for the purpose of mechanical drag reduction to increase gas mileage. The Mile Marker locking hub may contribute to gas mileage only minimally, but still, economy is economy. And aside from that, you get another advantage with a Mile Marker locking hub which is to reduce the effects of wear and tear to the front axle components since they are disengaged when they are not needed. The Mile Marker locking hub should be engaged when going for a two wheel drive and disengaged when you are going on a four wheel drive. You may contest that connected or disconnected, the Mile Marker locking hub cannot possibly help protect the already heavy-duty front axle parts. Why don't you try it out for yourself to see how amazing a Mile Marker locking hub can be?You probably neglect checking on the towing capacity of your vehicle. You probably haven't even thought of attempting to increase the towing capabilities of your vehicle, what more take advantage of it. However you would want to believe that you don't have to tow anything in the near future, no one really knows when you would be in desperate need of auto devices that could give a great relief when time comes you have to tow something. An aftermarket hitch may come in handy when you need to tow trailers. While the hitch is attached to the chassis for the purpose of towing, there is a Mile Marker winch which is a mechanical apparatus that could coil up a rope needed to firmly attach the object in tow to the vehicle. The simple construction of the Mile Marker winch includes a spool which is attached to a crank. The spool is more popularly known as the winch drum. Complex designs for the Mile Marker winch include gear assemblies that rely on electric, pneumatic, hydraulic or internal combustion for power. To keep the Mile Marker winch from uncoiling, it includes a solenoid brake that may or may not use a mechanical brake or ratchet. Winches are primarily used in sea vessels when pulling anchor, but the Mile Marker winch is practical to use when you have to tow another vehicle or a trailer and keep it in a secure hold with your vehicle to prevent getting accidentally unattached to your vehicle.

History of Britton, South Dakota
Our history goes back to the 1800's when many pioneers came to this portion of the Dakota Territory to settle. Many were of German and Scandinavian ancestry but most were native-born Americans from Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and other northern states.
The first settlers here often arrived by immigrant trains with their stock and household goods. They went to the nearest railroad station of where they intended to locate and then they would travel by horseback, wagon or on foot to the site where they wished to live and built their homes according to their means. Some were built of sod, others were just dugouts. In 1882, the broad expanse of land which is now the town of Britton was just that - many acres of wilderness prairie land without a home in sight. During the spring of 1883, a few "claim shacks" were built on the future town site.
J. B. Squier and F. B. Squier of Fargo came here and squatted on claims and that summer of 1883 they were visited by Col. Isaac Britton who thought the area would be a splendid location for a town site. The scripting of the town began in 1883 and was completed and filed in 1884. The historical naming of Britton is derived from Col. Isaac Britton who was actually born in Concord, Massachusetts in 1826. He worked with the railroad for many years and while visiting the Squier's he charted the Dakota & Great Southern Railroad to extend through this area. He built a beautiful home in Britton and lived there for about three years and then sold his property and moved out of the area.
Shortly after, the town of Britton began to grow rather quickly. One of the first building projects was a very impressive two-story school building and by 1885, Britton had twenty-five businesses consisting of grocery and dry-goods stores, hardware stores, lumber yards, hotels, barber shops, a bank, blacksmith shops, an office for a doctor and lawyer, and a newspaper office.
Britton was chosen as a temporary county seat because city promoters agreed to furnish free room for county officials for two years. The first county election was held on July 23, 1885, and after meeting in several different locations, the Marshall County courthouse was built in 1907 where it still stands today.
Religious services were held in homes until churches were built. Three churches were built in 1887.
The town people depended on the farmland for its prosperity too. During the late 1890's the town had known a recession, then a disordered economy in 1919 and a depression in the 1930's.
Britton weathered those drastic times and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1934 in spite of hard times. Britton lost several young men in two World Wars, the Korean War and in the Vietnam conflict.
In 1959, the town celebrated the Diamond Jubilee with a gala event and in 1976 joined the nation in celebrating the Bicentennial.
In 1984, another celebration was held honoring Britton's Centennial. Britton continues to prosper today with a population of approximately 1,300. It has manufacturing, several retail and service businesses along with a top notch school system and medical facility. It has been labeled "The View is Great From Here" because of its prime location and generous people. Britton is near a number of lakes which provide fishing, boating, camping and swimming. The city and its progressive residents built a swimming pool, library and baseball/softball complex and sports a nine-hole golf course, a bowling alley and lighted tennis courts. Add a movie theater, museum, and three city parks and residents and visitors alike have many things from which to choose in spending leisure time. In addition, the town boasts an airport with a hard-surface runway, an instrument landing system and the capability of handling small jet air traffic.
Many changes have taken place since the first claim shanty was built in 1884. However, one thing that has not changed is the people's spirit, determination and their positive view to build and maintain a community of which they can be proud, and to preserve this community for future generations.

Three Race Courses!
The 2016 FAT 55 will offer a course for every rider from beginner to pro. F.A.T stands for Fatty, 50 miles, A– Kicker, 21 miles, Throwback, 11 miles.
THROWBACK. Start at Oakridge High School, race through Uptown Oakridge to Salmon Creek Road, climb up a short gravel road climb, descend the fast and flowy singletrack with a few short climbs on Lower Dead Mountain Trail back down to Salmon Creek road. Cross over and follow the river upstream along a mixture of road and trail to Aid Station #1 then cruise down the amazingly fun North Salmon Trail back downriver to the Oakridge Fish Hatchery. Jump on the Salmon Creek levee trail and finish at Greenwaters Park where music, friends, food, refreshments and an award ceremony await you. This course will take from 1 to 2 hours to complete. It features 50% singletrack and approximately 400′ of climbing. Race starts at 10 a.m. on June 11, 2016.
A–KICKER. All of the Throwback and more. Climb all the way to the tippy top of Dead Mountain to Aid Station #2, then swoop back down again. This trail is Oakridge's newest trail and first purpose built mountain bike flow trail. This course also is over 50% singletrack and challenges racers with around 3,000′ of climbing. Same start and finish as Throwback. Race starts at 9:50 a.m. on June 11, 2016 and will take from 2 to 3-1/2 hours to complete.
FATTY. Same start and finish location as the Throwback and Kicker but with a 7 a.m. start time. This is a big and gnarly ride that features the best of what Oakridge trails are famous for. This 50 mile big mountain race is also a throwback to the 55 miler of the FAT in 2010 that gave this event it's name. A 4-1/2 to 7-1/2 hour ride with around 6,500′ of climbing. In addition to all of what the Throwback and Kicker racers get to ride, this also includes Aid Station #3 in Greenwaters Park, then crosses the river bridge to climb up a combination of gravel and paved roads to Larison Creek Trail. Not for the faint of heart or lung, racers then will enjoy a fun and flowy gradual climb up the first 3 miles of Larison Creek Trail, then challenge themselves with another 3-1/2 miles of technical and steep climbing on the wild and woolly Upper Larison Creek Trail. Racers then will be rewarded with a fast and rolling (some up and down but mostly down) descent of 8-1/2 miles of wild and remote gravel road and double track to Aid Station #4, then a 2 mile climb on traffic free pavement followed by a screaming fast descent down Larison Rock Trail to the finish at Greenwaters Park. Aid Stations: 1-Road 24-207, North Salmon Trailhead. 2-Top of Dead Mountain Trailhead. 3-Greenwaters Park. 4- Rd2102-101 Junction. Course Marshalls will also be at important junctions.
Awards for all racers will be at the Siuslaw Bank Amphitheater in Greenwaters Park at 4 pm on June 11, 2016. There will be music, food, beer and non-alcoholic refreshments available for all racers, volunteers and visitors.
All three race courses have some challenging trail. There are steep sections, tight switchbacks and remote areas where evacuating an injured rider would be a long and difficult process. Due to the length and remoteness of the courses some hazardous features may not be marked. Ride within your limits, you are riding in remote areas and the course has limited cell phone coverage. These trails are awesome and diverse, the views are amazing, and the support is solid. We promise to do our best to make this a great day on your bike.
Norm Coyer, Director and Co-creator, FAT 55, 2016
Eugene Cathcart, Co-Creator, Fat 55, Director 2010-2015
Awards will be 4 pm in Greenwaters Park: 48362 Highway 58 Oakridge, Oregon 97463

Six saving tips for a weekend getaway [Infographic]
If you're having trouble escaping from the hustle and bustle of work, consider taking a weekend trip.
Though short, weekend getaways can give you just the break needed to get back your groove. Here are a six tips to plan a great weekend getaway and save some money:
1. Avoid peak weekends
When you are planning a weekend away, try and plan it on a weekend that is less busy. For example, instead of traveling to New York around Christmas time, try and go in February or March. This can not only save you money, but save you the hassle of fighting other hordes of people trying to explore.
2. Shop flash-sale sites
Keep an eye on travel website with getaway deals. They always have some sort hotel or flight that is too cheap to pass up. You can also sign up for their emails to keep an eye on upcoming specials.
3. Only carry on
Checking in luggage not only costs money, but costs precious time. The wait to pick up checked luggage at the baggage claim add to your travel time. Not to mention, there is a chance that the airlines could lose your luggage, rendering you luggage-less for most of your trip.
4. Look for local deals
Checking sites like Groupon or Living Social can give you opportunities to find deals on activities you that might not necessarily be on your radar. Keep an eye out and you might be able to catch a cooking class!
5. Make the drive
If you are planning to go somewhere close, consider driving. You will save money and observe the nature and scenery around you. Make sure to bring lots of snacks and music so you can rock out and eat the time away. Make the trip about the journey, not the destination.
6. Budget your time
Time is also one of the things that you are trying to save. With such a short period to do the things you want, you will need to prioritize. Figure out what you want to do most and go from there. Don't spend your entire trip in a taxi trying to see everything. So plan ahead to ensure you have lots of time for activities.

Interior Report Confirms Klamath Dam Removal Can Benefit People and EcosystemSubmitted by Rupak Thapaliya on Thu, 2011-09-22 11:43
Key Words:
A report released by the Department of Interior this week confirms that the benefits of removal of four Klamath River dams far outweigh the costs.
A summary of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) states that the removal will increase production of Chinook salmon by 81% and open 420 miles of habitat for Steelhead and 68 miles for Coho salmon. The report also found that dam removal would cost $291 million (in 2020 dollars) as opposed to the previous estimates of $450 million.
According to the report, dam removal is expected to create 1,400 jobs during the year of removal and another 4600 over the next 15 years during the implementation of the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement (KBRA), one of the two agreements that also paved way for the study. The removal is expected to cause a loss of 67 jobs.
If the dams were removed, water quality could be hugely improved by eliminating the reservoir's toxic algal bloom and by restoring more natural river flows.
The dams currently generate enough electricity to power roughly 70,000 homes, although if the dams are retained, the additional costs from construction of required fish passage facilities, which could be substantial, will likely be passed on to ratepayers.
The Secretary will make a final decision on the fate of the dams in March 2012. Even if the dams were to be removed, actual removal will not happen until 2020.
Several members of the conservation community, including members of the Coalition have been advocating removal of the dams to restore the Klamath River basin. This report is an affirmation of the science-backed position Coalition members have taken for a long time.

Christmas Letters
The round robins sent at Christmas usually provoke groans as the writer's family's achievements are enumerated in great detail. Mine however have a loyal following as I describe the ups and downs of our lives. We have always been ready to laugh at ourselves and we hope our friends laugh with us. I thought you might like to read some of my earlier letters in the run up to Christmas 2017.
If 2015 was quiet, the same cannot be said of 2016. It started with the sad news that Margaret's rediscovered penfriend Carol died on Boxing Day. Margaret was pleased she had made the effort to find Carol and that they got to meet.
Planning and packing for the trip to Singapore and Australia took up the first two weeks of January. Margaret hates packing and there was a lot of huffing and puffing before she finally made her choice of what to put in her suitcase. The trip worked really well, our flights were all on time and staying in other peoples' homes gave us a glimpse of the Aussie way of life.
That was particularly true in Perth where we were staying with our lovely friends Bev and John. We got up early to go swimming in the sea, notwithstanding sharks, and then after drying off, coffee at some local café. It was John's birthday while we were there and we celebrated with dinner at the Royal Perth Yacht Club which had a curious outcome. One of the guest was quizzing Alan about where he worked in the UK and he said Sutton, to which the other guest said one of the State MP's was from Sutton. Of course it was Bob Johnson who had been the Mayor of Sutton before he emigrated. Alan contacted him and we had lunch in the Parliament building with him and his wife Sue.
The work on the house did not begin while we were away. The conservatory was knocked down at the end of May. We sold it on ebay. The work finished in the last week of November. Rather longer than we expected. We are delighted with the new room and the canopy over the front door. Currently we are waiting for our decorator to finish the painting, new furniture to arrive and the books, tables etc to be recovered from storage. Hopefully we will be using it by Christmas.
We volunteered to foster Guide Dogs for the Blind while we looked for another dog. We had Siba for a week over the New Year and then Polly. Polly had been retired early because of her health and we had her for two months in order for her to see the vets and to organise the best treatment for her. Her teeth were in a very bad way and she had twelve removed. There is real pleasure in watching a dog revert to being a dog rather than a living guide and we are full of admiration for the way these animals suppress many of their natural instincts. Polly left to go to the IOW where we hope she is enjoying her retirement.
The week she left we adopted Lily, a six year old Springer with a few issues. We were given a long behaviourists report on her which was almost unintelligible. We decided the only way to deal with her problems was to go back to basics. So Thursday night is Dog Training Club at the Scout Hut in Exeter – chosen because the floors are washable and therefore suitable for small boys and dogs. We have enjoyed going and Lily has passed her Kennel Club Bronze good citizens award. We still haven't sorted out all her problems!
We went to Cornwall to the Minack again. It poured down but we were well prepared and with raincoats and a picnic blanket the wrong way up we kept dry. The play/musical had a terrible plot but the actors were all students at the Central School of Drama – some amazing talented youngsters. The other trip was to Dunster on the edge of Exmoor. We stayed at the Lutteral Arms which is very dog friendly. The weather was warm enough for us to have breakfast in the garden every day. From the garden we could walk out into the park of the castle and the woods beyond.
In September we spent a week at the HPB property at St Simeon on the edge of the Champagne region. There are so few tourists the locals are friendly, almost unheard of in France. Lovely cottage and a great swimming pool as well.
Back in Devon we hired a beach hut at Budleigh Salterton. We went every day as the weather was very warm. So warm we both went swimming in the sea and not in wet suits! It's the nearest thing to having a holiday without having to pack a suitcase. Margaret loved that.
It was the Budleigh Literary Festival during the time we had the beach hut. Some very eminent writers were speaking all lured to Devon by the patron of the Festival Hilary Mantel. Margaret introduced herself to Hilary as they have the same degree Bachelor of Jurisprudence from Sheffield University and they chatted about how they ended up doing this rather unusual course.
October we set off for St Petersburg again with our friends Rachel and Michael. This time flying and staying in a city centre, at the Astoria. We can recommend the hotel for its location and the staff who not only spoke very good English and were very helpful but also had a sense of humour. We spent two days with a guide, Liudmila, doing the tourist route, but we had one day to wander round the city, trying to get a taste of life in a museum piece. So many mansions all turned into Exhibition Spaces – what does one do with redundant palaces? We ate in local restaurants, some good, one terrible, and very expensive wine.
Alan has joined the Exmouth Choir; a much shorter journey than driving to Chagford every week. He is now a fully fledged member of the Samaritans which takes up a few hours every week, including some night shifts. Coming back from his 12-3am shift after a weekend of heavy rains he misjudged the flooding of the River Clyst (car came through the water on the opposite carriage way) and wrote off the Volvo. He wasn't hurt only wet feet. At least the decision to change cars has been made for him.
Margaret's next novel is being rewritten but she has published on Amazon a short book of the stories from her blog. The book is called Trials and Errors and is available as a paperback or on Kindle.
The vote to leave the EU and the election of Trump as the next President has left us feeling uncertain as to what the future hold. Keep calm and Carry On is probably the only approach.
Summer in London 3
There is always a good exhibition somewhere in London, often too many. A trip to the Royal Academy on Picadilly is usually worthwhile. We wanted to see the Matisse exhibition this time. How fascinating. There was not an enormous number of painting but they were exhibited alongside some of the objects he used for his work. The idea was to encourage the viewer to look at the objects the way an artist might. I love his use of colour and textiles and this exhibition was no exception. I've often thought that if I was asked what books I would want on my Desert Island, a copy of Matisse's work would be the first thing I'd chose.
There was also an exhibition of the work of Charles Tunnicliffe in the same building.
He was a Royal Academician best known for his illustrations for books. Think Tarka the Otter. (Memo to self – must read.) What became more interesting was copies of the cards he did for Brooke Bond Tea. The cards were in the packets of loose leaf tea and one could send away for a book in which to stick the cards. Seeing those cards and the book brought back all sorts of memories. I'd collected the Birds of Britain. We started talking to the room steward who told us his had collected the Birds of Africa as he had lived in Uganda as a child. He showed us the Ladybird series of books 'What to Look for in Winter', and it's companion volumes. Tunnicliffe was an amazing artist and deserves to be remembered.
Summer In London 3
One of the exciting things about the summer months in London is the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. We haven't been to a concert there for quite a long time. It was so hot on the last occasion we left before the end. This summer we didn't have that problem — it just hasn't been that hot.
We hadn't booked in advance so we took a chance and went to whatever we could get tickets for. It proved a blessing. The first concert was a French choir singing Monteverdi's Vespers. I love these pieces for their mathematical precision and the music was enhanced by the choreography. It began with the singers facing away from the audience, the backless dresses of the ladies showing Gallic sophistication. Then as the evening proceeded the choir divided and moved around the stage and then regrouped. Soloists peeled off and sang from different parts of the auditorium, adding another dimension to the music.
Three weeks later we went to a concert by the BBC Orchestra and Singers of Mahler's 2nd Symphony. The Resurrections. The orchestra was augmented by extra timpani – five sets of drums I think- and by the addition of brass instruments. Big choirs filling that huge bowl with sound. The music was visceral and I was close to tears in the final movements.
Thank you to the BBC.
Summer in London 2
We had always wanted to visit Carlyle's House in Cheyne Row Chelsea and this summer we finally got there. When Thomas Carlyle and his wife Jane moved there it was in an undesirable part of Chelsea. They paid the princely sum of £35 per year. The house is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/carlyles-house It has been kept much as it was during his time – very Victorian. Virtually anybody of importance in 1830/40 visited him and his wife, including Dickens, Robert Browning and John Ruskin His books are very rarely read today, but he was the founder of the London Library and instrumental in the establishment of the National Portrait Gallery.
Today this is one of the most expensive parts of London but many of the houses are simply investments, not homes and a large number stay dark and uninhabited from one year to the next. When I first moved to London I lived in the next road, Lawrence Street, in a very similar house. I loved this part of London.
One of the pleasures for me of London is the unexpected meeting with someone of interest. We were upstairs in the house when the warden came into the room. She lives in the house and I asked her if she felt haunted by the presence of such an influential man and his equally important wife. She said she did feel their influence. We went on to talk about the area. She remembered the wine merchant's in Justice Walk and the Cross Keys Public House before it became a gastro pub. The houses were all occupied; a mixture of young and old, city lawyers and bohemian artists. The nearby Kings Road the place to be for fashion. We reminisced for a while, before leaving one of my favourite places.
Summer in London
It is quite a while since I've done a post. I have been very occupied with trying to write my second Cassie Hardman novel and it's proving difficult. Possibly because the subject is a rape trial, so it has been very easy for me to get distracted. A trip to Norway cruising to the North Cape and back; a trip to see relatives in the North and then a week in the Yorkshire Dales have eaten into the time. Also, we have spent some time in London feasting on some of the events the city has to offer.
We had tickets for the NT production of Angels in America. I like going to the theatre in London as the average age is much lower than similar events (hard to get in the provinces apart from live transmissions in the cinema) in Devon. But, even by London standards, the number of young people attending this production was very high. There are two plays, Millenium Approaches and Perestroika and the audience was very enthusiastic about both. Rising to their feet at the end and clapping wildly. I can't say I felt the same. It is a tour de force for the actors particularly James McArdle who plays Louis Ironson.
Some how it seemed dated although the issues of the treatment of minorities are.still live. Aids has not at least in the West been the 'end of the world scenario depicted here. And so much has been achieved as far as gay rights are concerned. The relevance today is in the view of politics and how far individuals are prepared to go to hang on to power in the form of Ray Cohn. In addition the perennial topic of deceit, self-delusion and hypocrisy in our relationship both with ourselves and with others.
Reflections on Holidays
Our recent trip to Australia was quite long, nearly seven weeks. I always keep a log of the places we visit and this journey was no exception. What I'm not very good at is making a note of my reaction to the cities and places I visit. I think I'm too busy doing and not analysing my feelings. Now we have been back a couple of weeks and I have downloaded all the photographs to the desktop computer I have started to ruminate about the experiences. I probably need more time to really reflect on the places we went and the people we met. The picture is of Sydney Harbour from the Botanic Garden on Australia Day. I claimed my Australian heritage and walked around carrying an Australian Flag.
Still on Holiday
I must get back to writing next week, but the last few weeks have been spent frittering the time away and having fun. I've been in Morocco for a week. What a delightful country, France with added spice, India but better food. I mention food because I did a course at L'Atelier Madada http://www.lateliermadada.com/fr/ I made a tagine for lunch The trip began at La Roserai Ouirgane in the Atlas Mountains. Then a few days in Marrakech, including the souk and the Majorelle Gardens. www.jardinmajorelle.com Then to Essaouira (has all the vowels) on the Atlantic coast. A picture beats a thousand words so …….

The Pen and the Brush
While we are on the subject of art here is an original painting he bought at the Big House. By Big House I mean the grounds is covered by a 20 feet high wall with barbed wire at the top. The Federal Pen.
It was purchased in our BK era. We heard that the Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta, just up the street from Grant Park had a art festival every fall. The art canvases for sale were done by inmates. The art show and sale was not within the walls but just down the street, still on the Pen's property I think.
How does the above painting strike you? To me it looks like someone trying to get away rather quickly and he is running down a dark alley or corridor.
The art was for sale at a darn right reasonable price and I think the proceeds went to help out with the inmates somehow or another.
We went two years in a row and ended up with at least three paintings. One above, which my son now has, a ship in earlier times when they used sails in rough seas, and the other one I am not sure what it is… it looks like some kind of dream a Persian cat might have had. I looked for those also, I have no idea what happened to them.
The inmates created some fantastic art paintings. Some were highly unusual. My theory is that the inmates are not your common everyday yuppie you see in the latest style and joking about their golf games. Individually the average person marches to his own drummer. He might even have a disturbed mind…. All the better to put out startling art, dearie.
Lets face it, any art created in the Big House was probably done by a rule breaker. I don't know but I would guess that there are rules in art to followed, the same as rules in writing, grammar, and so on. These guys will probably dare to break the rules and produce some strange unnerving art.
I think I just rather stay on this side of the wall and color by numbers.
That reminds me, when I first got out of the Navy my first job was with The Atlanta News Agency. I was a route salesman. I traveled over a certain area in southeast Atlanta and visited various convenience stores and drug stores and see what magazines and books were selling and what wasn't selling. I would pick up the ones not selling and give them credit, and if the next store down the street was out sold out of what I just picked up I would leave it with them…. There were more to it than that…. But that is essentially what I did.
At times the Atlanta News Agency would give each of a huge number of publications that were not selling good. They would say get rid of them. And don't pick them up for credit until after inventory was taken.
Once I was given something like 1500 coloring books to get rid of. They were very child like coloring books that most children would have felt superior to. So, how was I going to get rid of 1500 useless coloring books.
The Atlanta Federal Penitentiary was on my route. I wrote up one ticket, carried to the dock, had the guy that was in charge of the loading dock to sign for it and he turned around and had some prisoners unload it, and I was on my way, laughing all the way out the gate.
And guess what? The coloring books were never returned for credit.


text: more than average on some cans, you might want something purpose-built. Fiio thinks its E17 / Alpen USB DAC headphone amplifier is the tool for the job. With a passing resemblance to a PMP, the E17 has a single 3.5 output, SPDIF and AUX inputs, with mini USB and a proprietary dock for hardware / computer connectivity. The dot matrix OLED screen and brushed metal finish make it look sexy, while the 96K / 24bit (USB) and 192K / 24bit (SPDIF) sample rates should nicely tickle most ears. Listeners on the go will profit from the 1,500 mAh battery, which Fiio claims is good for 15 hours. There are also basic bass, treble, mid and gain controls if you think you know better than the original engineers. Think this is what your life has been missing? Then be prepared to drop about $150 in the next week or so, when it lands in your favorite audio retailer.
