Yes, defying loses the hammers: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=319452
OK, for all you non-MP folks, here's why trying to keep Mutal is a bad idea.
I've drawn in the full cultural borders of all the cities around Mutal, assuming that we will capture Chichen Itza as planned. The key tile is the one already identified, one SE of Mutal. This spot will remain in Imperio hands no matter what we do, making an effective defense all but impossible. That tile has been in Mutal's first ring the whole game, plus it's been getting accumulated culture from Lakamha and Mayapan for ages now. The tile undoubtedly has a "culture score" rating in the thousands, so we may as well forget about having any chance to control it ourselves. Yes, we get bonus culture for it being in our first ring, but the bonus culture only amounts to 20/turn. That won't even be enough to overcome the culture being added each turn from Lakamha and Mayapan, much less erode away the THOUSANDS of culture points already in place from Imperio's prior possession of Mutal. Trust me, I've spent tons of time working with the culture formula. The only way to control that tile will be to capture/raze Lakamha AND Mayapan, a tall order.
However, even leaving aside that tile for a moment, we still shouldn't consider holding on to Mutal. Discounting the white "X" above, Imperio can still double-move on Mutal from no less than SIX different tiles, indicated with white arrows above. And that's not even including Oxhuitza, which I expect us to raze in the wake of a successful Mutal attack. Six different spots for a double-move! The only defense against that would be maintaining a large garrison in Mutal at all times, which would tie us down and remove all tactical flexibility. I think it will be worthwhile to do that at Lakamha (Imperio's best city and possessor of the Islamic Shrine + Notre Dame) but Mutal is just too poorly situated.
I appreciate the comments and feedback, however you guys have to remember that this is NOT Single Player, and we cannot afford to have Imperio recapture their capital city back from us. As a civ, Imperio gets about 70% of its production from Mutal, Lakamha, and Chichen Itza. Knock out two of those three cities immediately, plus the existing Imperio army, and we win the war. Period. No need to take any silly risks from getting too greedy!
Well I'm certainly willing to raze it. IMO we should be happy with what we can get away with already.
In anycase though, it'd be a significant amount of resources we'd be forced to use to defend Mutal, that much more that wouldn't be in an army capturing/razing other imperio cities, and the slower we'd recover from our warmongering ways and get ready for the real fight with PAL.
Note that without Iron, Imperio will not be training any mounted units, so we only have to worry about 1-mover attack. And we have to protect our northern cities anyway, so if we raze Mutal, we'll have to garrison Cape Town and Chichen Itza instead. Why not keep our northern defense force in Mutal, instead of CT itself?
If Imperio gets to keep its army, I agree that keeping Mutal will be impossible. However, if they are down to city garrisons while we have a small stack left, there is no way they can both recapture Mutal and stop our southern advance. Let's see where we stand 2 turns from now, because if we fail to catch Imperio's main army this debate becomes pointless.
Look at what Templars cost us per city - I think with enough drafting and slaving Imperio can certainly hold us off, of course at the cost of torpedoing their civ's long term ability to compete.
FYI - The reason it is MUCH easier to hold Cape Town is because we will have cultural defense and always have warning of an attack.
Also, are we going to try to keep Chichen Itza? I thought we planned to raze both cities.
Well y'all can do what you want, but my personal recommendation is VERY strongly to raze Mutal. We should be able to hold Chichen Itza though without too much trouble. I advise capturing rather than razing there.
Chichen fits nicely into our dotmap and should be kept.
About Mutal, all I was saying was, that we keep an open mind. If we by some miracle not lose our mariner Oromos and not lose our mounted stack in the Mutal attack and our main stack largely intact and Imperio's army defeated, then we should consider keeping Mutal. That's all there is to that idea. Imperio has little garrison units in their remaining cities to threaten with a counter attack. In that scenario we eat through their remaining cities in no-time.
However, in the more likely scenario that we lose some of our mariners, some of our mounted stack and a significant portion of our main army, then Mutal is not defendable and must be razed.
Lets all calm down here and have a fresh look on T170.
I hate to be the wet blanket, but has anyone tried a sim of what happens when we capture CI? Yes, there is no Mutal-culture in the tiles 1S and 2S1W of the city which is what we need to have the Mutal strike ready. But this game is notorious for buggy behavior in the borders right after a capture, where it takes a turn or two for them to properly adjust, so I fear that one of those crucial tiles will remain actively Maya.
Probably the tile to put our knights on is 2W of Mutal? It's the furthest away from the southern army we can get.
Does anyone else have extra iron that they might give imperio to spite us?
Did some simming of Mutal attacks this afternoon:
Sim I: Optimistic Scenario
Mutal with CGII longbow (full fortify bonus) + whipped pike (no promotions or fortify bonus)
1) 2k die, 2k + 5ha survive
2) 3k 1ha die, 1ha retreat, 1k + 4ha survive
3) 2k die, 2k + 5ha survive
4) 1k die, 3k + 5ha survive
5) 3k die, 1k + 5ha survive
6) 1k die, 3k + 5ha survive
7) 1k die, 3k + 5ha survive
8) 2k die, 2k + 5ha survive
9) 2k die, 2k + 5ha survive
10) 2k die, 2k + 5ha survive
OK, pretty clear that there's no need to do any upgrading if we face just the longbow and a whipped pike. All 10 attempts won pretty easily, even with some awful luck on sim #2. However, things become dicier if we have to face a third unit in Mutal.
Sim II: Worst-Case Scenario
Mutal with CGII longbow (full fortify bonus) + whipped pike (no promotions or fortify bonus) + CGII musket (no fortify)
1) 4k + 1ha die, 1ha retreat, 4ha survive (SUCCESS)
2) 3k + 3ha die, 1k + 2ha survive (SUCCESS)
3) 3k die, 1k + 5ha survive (SUCCESS)
4) 4k + 2ha die, 3ha survive (SUCCESS)
5) 3k die, 1k + 5ha survive (SUCCESS)
6) 4k + 3ha die, 1ha retreat, 2ha survive (FAILURE, 2 defenders left alive)
7) 3k + 1ha die, 1ha retreat, 1k + 4ha survive (SUCCESS)
8) 3k + 2ha die, 1k + 3ha survive (SUCCESS)
9) 4k + 5ha die (CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, all 3 defenders left alive! Although there were some atrocious rolls in here.)
10) 2k + 1ha die, 2k + 4ha survive (SUCCESS)
Even in what I believe to be the worst case scenario, we still capture Mutal in 8 out of 10 sims, although the combat was often close, and the last horse archer took the city several times. Now here's the same situation simmed out with cuirassiers instead of knights:
Sim III: Worst-Case Scenario with Cuirassiers
1) 3c + 1ha die, 1c + 4ha survive (SUCCESS)
2) 4c + 5ha survive (TOTAL SUCCESS)
3) 1c + 1ha die, 1c retreat, 3c + 4ha survive (SUCCESS)
4) 2c die, 1c retreat, 2c + 5ha survive (SUCCESS)
5) 2c die, 2c + 5ha survive (SUCCESS)
6) 1c die, 3c + 5ha survive (SUCCESS)
7) 2c + 2ha die, 2c + 3ha survive (SUCCESS)
8) 3c die, 1c + 5ha survive (SUCCESS)
9) 2c die, 2c + 5ha survive (SUCCESS)
10) 2c + 3ha die, 2c + 2ha survive (SUCCESS)
All of these sims were successful, even #10 where a cuirassier died against the Imperio pike without doing a single point of damage. And perhaps equally importantly, cuirassiers survived every single sim to live and fight again, as opposed to the slaughter of knights in the previous sim. On average, 2 out of 4 cuirassiers lived. My recommendation is therefore that we spend the 200g to turn all our knights into cuirassiers. Think of it this way: is it worth 200g to be absolutely certain that we burn down the Imperio capital? I say yes, especially because we'll loot at least 100g back in the taking of the city! This also insures us against Imperio getting a fourth unit into Mutal (somehow), meaning we still have a good chance at success. My sincere hope is that we won't even face defenders as tough as the ones I estimated here!
Note: I had our top knight/cuirassier promoted with CII/Melee, which was a mistake in retrospect. We should promote this unit with CIII instead, and will likely do a little better than these sims as a result. Savegame file is attached for anyone who wants to play around with this further. Random seed is not preserved, so load away and get different results.
Looks promising. Upgrading deletes all movement points, iirc. is the plan to attack on T170 still valid?
If so we have to upgrade this turn, right?
Yes - the knights and such are to remain stationary next turn anyways while the workers move back into position and the ships sail to our border tile with Imperio.
We can upgrade on T168, next turn.
Here's the relevant C&D info for Imperio this turn. It's not the greatest, unfortunately.
Imperio 458EP (+0 EP)
Current Civics: Hereditary Rule, Bureaucracy, Slavery, Decentralization, Organized Religion
Mutal (size 13) = N/A, zero shields invested
Infrastructure: Palace, Barracks, Granary, Monument, Forge, Library, Stonehenge, Oracle, The Sistine Chapel
Lakamha (size 10) = 40 shields (+40)
Infrastructure: Barracks, Monument, Granary, Library, Bank, Islamic shrine, Notre Dame
Chichen Itza (size 8) = 53 shields (+13)
Infrastructure: Granary, Monument, Lighthouse, Barracks, Christian Monastery, Library
Uxmal (size 15) = N/A, zero shields invested
Infrastructure: Monument, Barracks, Granary, Ball Court (Colosseum), Lighthouse, Library, Statue of Zeus
Mayapan (size 15) = 102 shields (+12)
Infrastructure: Monument, Barracks, Granary, Lighthouse, Ball Court (Colosseum)
Calakmul (size 10) = 25 shields (+25)
Infrastructure: Monument, Library, Barracks, Granary, Islamic Temple, Lighthouse
Oxhuitza (size 3) = 30 shields (+10)
Infrastructure: Monument, Granary, Library
Damascus (size 4) = 2t resistance
Infrastructure: Monument, Granary, Apostolic Palace (Christianity)
Mutal finished a build that was either 80, 90, or 100 shields. (Last turn: 73 shields, +26 shields/turn.) There's really no way to tell what this is, unfortunately. My best guess is a cuirassier: Imperio started this build the same turn they discovered Military Tradition, and it's a logical build since Imperio didn't know how quickly Templars would collapse. Worst-case scenario is a musket build, which fortifies in Mutal (although I took this into account with our sims, and we can still capture the city even if that's the case.)
Uxmal also worries me. Unfortunately, it finishes what looks like an 80 shield build (Last turn: 66 shields, +18 shields/turn) which can only be a musket. If headed south, the unit will be passing near to Mutal, and would be able to move in there and reinforce when we attack. There's really nothing we can do about this, however. Cross our fingers and hope that the unit won't be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It's theoretically possible Imperio could get four defenders into Mutal when we attack. If so, we'd probably have to cancel the strike, so let's hope that doesn't happen...
Fortunately even if that happens they won't be able to attack out. I'm not in the game at the moment, but I assume there is some sort of city-splitting opportunity that might permit us to get a second city even if Mutal lives. Of course that would hardly be ideal...
In the light of Banana possibly betraying our intent at Chichen Itza, I suggest to escort the galleys with the trireme. Name them "Santa Maria", "Nina" & "Pinta" to maybe confuse Imperio into thinking about a long journey for the New World or possibly for the next continent.
Even if Imperio gets suspicious about the boats, they might just move a defender out of Mutal to protect CI.
I need to get to bed, but here is the update. 8 in-game hours left in the turn. Everything is moved except our naval squadron and our units in the SE. The relevant pic, notice the knight:
Option 1: Continue as normal, cover our workers with some number of units.
Option 2: Move to the wheat tile with our stack and workers, since Imperio can see us anyways.
Option 3: Call off the attack.
Option 4: Someone is more creative than me and has a better idea.
Option A, to be combined with any of the above: Send some sort of message to Imperio.
I Am John is going to paste the text to the chat I had with him, Sooooo, and M_H.
sunrise from x.x.x.60 joined the chat 4 minutes ago
sooooo from x.x.x.229 joined the chat 101 seconds ago
sooooo: hi
sunrise: hi guys
sunrise: ok, moderate potential problem
sunrise: stand by for screenshot
sunrise: http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/5...enshot0430.jpg
Iamjohn: hmm, that would be an issue
sooooo: yeah, definitely an issue
Iamjohn: I really don't think there's much we can do though
sooooo: but what can they do?
sooooo: their stack isn't on a road, they can only move it one tile
sunrise: see, this is why always war is easier - we just kill the sentry, and they don't know if we have a big stack or a single unit
sooooo: i suppose they could just not take Acre
sunrise: no, they have no ability to hit us except with knights and the units in Damasscus, and only the later after the Templars die
sunrise: but they can withdraw
Iamjohn: what happens if they decide to bug out
sooooo: and move their stack 1N
Iamjohn: go north
sunrise: also, we have to cover the workers in case they declare on us
sunrise: what are the odds they arent going to see this coming after the boats move and the email?
sunrise: about zero?
Iamjohn: yeah, I think they definitly arn't trusting atm
Iamjohn: what about if they decide to head to Damascus?
sooooo: yeah about zero
sunrise: wel i just wanted to run by you guys for a reality check to make sure we shouldnt aboty
sooooo: let's wait for 8 hours to come up for a plan
Iamjohn: I don't think we have a choice imo
Iamjohn: unless you see something I don't
Iamjohn: just continue on
sunrise: actually - the only tile that saves their stack is 1NE, onto the hill, I think
sunrise: I should have brought four workers, then they couldnt have escaped
sunrise: although we'd have to capture Acre
Iamjohn: poor templars could be limping on for awhile if things go wrong...
mh from x.x.x.97 joined the chat 3 seconds ago
mh: hi
Iamjohn: hey
sunrise]: hi
sunrise: check out the above link MH
Iamjohn: look at the screenshot at the top of the chat
sunrise: it isnt good
sooooo: they can escape how they want if they don't take acre - 4 workers wouldn't make a difference
Iamjohn: let's hope they don't take the better part of valor then
sunrise: ugh, of course...i wasnt thinking
mh: hmm, tricky. If Templars culture is not removed, we can't follow them as quickly as we wanted. The thing is I am not sure the will retreat seeing our stack. We don't have any 2movers and they might feel their stack is better than ours.
sunrise: they may also capture our workers
Iamjohn: the fact that they arn't fully healed might concern them
mh: We could say, we want to make sure Acre is taken. Or we just say "PAL next" and have them wondering.
sunrise: so here is my proposal
Iamjohn: too much talking is almost as bad as simply admiting that we're going to attack imo
sunrise: move the main stack to the staging tile 3E of Acre, move the workers onto the tile they need to road and road, cover the workers with 2 maces we have available, and cover the workers with X units out of our main stack
sunrise: for X I recommend a pair of pikes, for 2 maces 2 pikes total, against 1 knight, and 1 musket, 2 maces, 1 longbow, and 2 pikes, all but the knight in Damascus
sunrise: actually, since they see us anyways, we can also just move on the wheat tile
sunrise: then we dont need to worry about the workers
mh: The workers are only exposed in peace times, right? So if they go for them, They would have to declare.
sunrise: yes
Iamjohn: I suppose
sunrise: they have to declare first if they want the workers, and they have to do it this turn
mh: True
Iamjohn: what units do they have in Damascus?
sunrise: mustket, longbow, 2 wounded maces, 2 pikes
mh: I would be very surprised if they declare.
Iamjohn: I wouldn't put it past them if they decided it was the best option for them *shrug*
mh: If it turns out we have to thank Banana for this increased alertness of Imperio, that would really disappoint me.
Iamjohn: it does seem an odd coincidence
mh: @John: for just two workers?
Iamjohn: well to put us more on the defence
sooooo: i think t it's fairly natural for them to put a knight on that hill
Iamjohn: they're probably concerned about their SOD
mh: True, but up to today, they think of us as their trusted allies.
sooooo: hey don't need the knight to take acre and they want to get jerusalem
Iamjohn: possibly
sooooo: mh why do you think banana tipped them off?
Iamjohn: I guess the betrayer always suspects betrayal, eh?
sunrise: well do you have any preference over Sullla's tile versus the wheat tile Sooooo?
mh: Yep. I am in favour of the Wheat tile solution
sooooo: probably the wheat is better but may as well wait - we have time left in the turn
mh: But move the workers there as well, in case we ned them later
mh: yes, lets bring it up in the forums, someone might come up with a whacky idea. "Kill the knigh ans say Oooops"
sunrise: do workers captured in a city have movement?
Iamjohn: Don't think so
mh: then move the knights to Mutal and say "hera are the replacements"
sunrise: if so we also need to consider Imperio can capture acre, use the workers to road under the Imperio stack, and then hit us
Iamjohn: we're upgrading them to currassiers iirc
sooooo: unlikely, they'd have to have 2 workers on the wheat for that to be possible
sunrise: just confirming the two workers they will capture in Acre wont have movement Sooooo
sooooo: oh, yeah those two. no they don't have movement
mh: I repeat, I don't think Imperio will declare on us staright away.
sunrise: ok, good
mh: If we go for the Wheat, they actually might split their stack and move some more defenders into Damaskus. And we can pick them up separately
Iamjohn: I just tested it, they wont' have movement
sunrise: well how about then I move everything else, but not the troops in the SW, and one of you guys can make a forum post?
sunrise: it is very very late here, and I'd like to get to bed
Iamjohn: I'll post the chat log if you want
Iamjohn: other then that sounds good to me
mh: Sounds good. Good night sunrise. I am about to have breakfast now.
Iamjohn: night all
sunrise: thanks guys...I'll be back online in a few
Can we move up the timetable and start the Northern attacks this turn?
How about declaring this turn, killing the Knight and putting the stack onto that hill. With two Workers underneath, we can road it next turn and then attack either Damascus or Acre, and we get the benefit of the hill for defense if they decide to attack?
Workers definitely must be covered - if Imperio moves 1N we need them to road that tile to attack T169.
My big concern is they get smart and move their uberstack 1NE to the hill (more importantly we can't attack there, unless a rare case). In that case I think we raze Damascus, killing the units there on the cheap, but play cat-and-mouse while their stack is off road network - that way they can't hit us first. There is a slight chance that maybe they will take Acre and move their stack 1NE - that's the only case where moving to the wheat buys us something (since we could road through the neutral ex-Templar land and hit them. Not ideal on the hill, but worth it to get the first strike in and kill a bunch of already-hurt units.) If we think this won't happen though the wheat tile doesn't get us anything, and lets us cover the two trailing macemen by staying 1W of the wheat.
Not to sound alarmist, but 2 1/2 hours to play. I don't want to take sunrise's turnplayer spot unless totally necessary however I will need to be at work by the end of our slot and unable to login then.
But we also do not lose anything by moving onto the Wheat.
The advantage of the wheat is that we don't have to declare and we don't have to cover the workers.
@Dreylin - We can't move the timetable up unfortunately due to the Cuiraissier upgrades.
EDIT: 1 hour left to discuss.

Posts Tagged 'River Boat Tour'
Feels like this blog is becoming more about traveling than anything else? Well that's my life right now so enjoy!
So as you know from last week I had a great stay at the Hilton in Lisle, IL. Well the good food and company stayed strong through the workday on Friday where I had another AWESOME sushi meal with Christine from work! Luckily I wasn't the only one eating it this time, so it wasn't assumed it was for 3 people but gosh we got A LOT of food!
and yep, that boat is in the shape of a fish which I'm not certain whether it made me feel better or worse about what I was eating. You were once a fantastic swimmer and now you are going into my belly. Poor fishies. In any case we were very hungry girls and dug right in!
And as awesome as that looks that doesn't even begin to describe the amazing weekend I had in Chicago! Since Dana and Tim were off at Josh's bachelor party for the weekend Kara and I decided we needed a serious girls weekend! So Kara arrived in Chicago around 4ish on Friday afternoon and we got started right away! After making the journey from the airport to the hotel downtown by train which meant carrying our very very heavy luggage up and down some serious steps we checked out the map and headed to Millennium Park to check out THE BEAN!
I have been to Chicago a dozen times and for whatever reason I had never checked out the bean. I have seen some pretty cool pictures of other people at the bean and I knew it was an experience I wanted to have.
It was AWESOME!
Yep, Kara instagrammed (is this a verb?) us at the bean! So cool! And on a complete side note we walked by literally the BIGGEST FREAKING WALGREENS IN THE WORLD (well there was no sign on the door that said that but I'm going with that being a true statement for now- until proven wrong). This "drug store" had a wine store inside, self serve frozen yogurt (could you just see me everyday.. "Tim, hunny I am headed to the drug store again" AKA I am about to go stuff my face with more fro-yo because I have an unhealthy obsession with it. It had a deli inside and pretty much anything you could imagine! It was literally insane. I can't wait to go back.
So we made our way back from the bean and decided to just randomly pick a dinner place. Well thanks to Rich's recommendation we went straight for some serious Chicago deep dish pizza. Kara and I are both pizza lovers so I had no doubt this was going to be one hell of a meal but it proved me wrong. This was THE BEST FREAKING PIZZA ever! STUFFED and I mean STUFFED with goodness this thing was well worth the 45 minutes wait we endured.
And they didn't just do pizza well, they did bruschetta well. Who knew that was even possible? Who knew that a pizza place was going for the record to have the highest bruschetta tower ever? Well I can tell you who knows now- Kara and I do!
So where did this magic happen at you didn't ask but I am telling you anyway ask? Giordano's. Delicious "famous stuffed pizza". The history of this delicious pizza dates back all the way to the 1960's which you can read about on their website. The pizza was even good cold- which Kara and I found out the next day when we were starving after a long day of shopping. Everything about this experience was good including the beers we had! The service was great even though the placed was packed wall to wall with customers.
We were exhausted from all of that travel so after stuffing our faces we headed back to the hotel to get some good sleep in before our day on Michigan Ave! We were fortunate enough that a few of my friends, Erin (who got engaged not too long ago) and Audrey meet up with us and they were fantastic shoppers and tour guides! We walked everywhere- up and down and all over and well… this goes without saying by looking at the photo below but I think it's safe to say I didn't do too bad.
My trip ended up looking like this
- 2 pairs of colored denim from Zara (mint color and coral)
- 2 headbands from LuLuLemon (so cute!)
- A pink/coral colored blazer from Nordstrom Rack
- A floppy hat and belt from H&M
- A honeymoon dress from Forever 21
Success at its finest!
Yea pretty pump to display how these outfits look on after I figure out what the hell to wear with them haha! The floppy hat was a big win- Tim really thought so when he picked me up and I was wearing it!
So after the long day of shopping and the delicious cold pizza we had for a later lunch we made some reservations at Weber Grill for dinner. I'm really glad we made those reservations (thank you Open Table for making my life easier) because it was PACKED and people were waiting well over an hour to get a table. We waited about 10 minutes. People hated us. Next time they will make a reservation though.
The food smelled SO GOOD but before we could even think about food we needed some juice. So we got a pitcher of Sangria. For 2 people. An entire pitcher. And we drank it all.
No regrets here.
Kara got this delicious looking stake and mashed potatoes which I can say with certainty because I tasted them that they were SO GOOD!
And she was certainly one hot date- so I was honored to be there with her!
I had a delicious hamburger topped with onions and cheese and everything else that could possibly clog my insides up. Oh and French fries. Which rumor has it stay in your system for 30 days. If that is true- they still taste great to me!
I also enjoyed the Sangria… all 4 glasses of it!
And in case you are wondering or because you are reading and for some reason paying attention to what I write, I had Katniss hair that day. If you didn't already know I LOVE the Hunger Games and I think Katniss has the prettiest hair ever. So Kara played with mine a bit to make me a very impressive braided bun… check out this hair. Truly a Hunger Games hair-do.
After dinner we headed to the bar which was a ton of fun. Especially since we saw a TON of bachelor and bachelorette parties going on. There were some seriously large blow up items that were being carried around and poked into people. Eventually we realized that we were just too old for that late night craziness and got to bed before 1am!
The next morning we were determine to pack in fun before we had to head out to the airport! We decided that the Wendella River Boat Tour would be the best way to spend the very hot 90 degree morning in Chicago. It was awesome! For over an hour we got to be on the lake and learned about serious history about Chicago. The tour guide, a local girl trying to make it as an actress was AMAZING. She had every single thing memorized. I was so impressed. The funniest thing I remember was when she showed up where the big fire in Chicago started years ago and when she said "and Chicago has a sense of humor because that is where we train our firefighters".
That's some sense of humor alright Chicago.
There were some serious breath taking views that the captain of the boat lined us up for..
And Kara and I were just relaxing and enjoy the ride!
Although let's be honest… we wanted a good seat on the boat so we ended up kicking a few people out of the front on "accident" by not leaving them enough space. Too bad… these Ohio girls know how to get what they want!
Seriously though I recommend this tour to ANYONE. Even if you have lived in Chicago for a while trust me- there is more to learn! It was the perfect start to our day!
Those are some mad instagram skills brought to you by Kara!
And before we headed ot the airport (and made a very quick stop at Navy Pier) we did what every girl should do…
WE HAD FROZEN YOGURT! UGH I love Fro-Yo
I got some pistachio (my new favorite) and some key lime! I topped mine with some cheesecake bites, a few yogurt covered raisons, and some heath bar! Kara got some pistachio too but got a lot more chocolate goodness and fudge than I did! It was delicious- I had a taste!
After sweating in the sun, but loving it, we hauled our very heavy suitcases up some stairs and over some bridges until we finally made it to the airport!
It was a FABULOUS trip!
I can't wait to see where our next girls weekend will take us!

I like the quiz. Got 13/20. I would suggest there be a limit of the number of quizes you can take per day though. Maybe only 1 or 2 quizes a day, that way people can't retaking them over and over in the same day to up their score. You should get one shot at answering the questions in the fastest time, that would be the true test of knowledge.

At the time of the sale now he is trying to sell CIT.
Sort of denying natural gas Reno's first to report on -- African Charlie John -- Has choice words about your reporting we're going back and forth about this last night yeah -- -- and does not happy -- you well.
I mean he missed the headline the second the real headline is that he can't sell it and why can't you sell it because CIT.
Is a pretty risky operation.
He would want to sell to a US bank the banks are under regulation by the Fed.
He black -- of who wanna sell to systemically important bank one of the big banks who once -- he basically wants a run at some point.
They can't really buy it so he's kind of like left in the lurch on top of that CIT let's go to.
A little in the history then we'll give you some history about John -- CIT itself is very controversial.
-- went belly up tour was heading towards belly up during a financial crisis precede the 2.3 billion dollar and get out.
Bailout almost choking on the story bailout from the federal government then.
Filed bankruptcy.
And then screw the -- essentially stiff everybody did not pay back in that bankruptcy.
John Thain took over after that when he left Merrill Lynch and from what we understand -- bank is -- Thomas he's now trying to sell it he can't sell it.
And what he did yesterday to try to sort of I mean this and every banker on Wall Street knows this is that this is a game of cat and mouse if you tell everybody that you wanna sell something well they think you're desperate yes they each -- he tried to say -- this to pretty.
Compliant media outlet.
Particularly the reporter hit it specifically very compliant.
Bob and he basically -- it this is his go to person the sense of when every needs to spin stuff.
IBC's in this we're not for sale you know we're not that desperate and what I can tell you is this.
Wall Street investment bankers says say he.
Was set shop and it is shop and -- looking to sell at.
He's having a very difficult time doing it for all those reasons CI take -- on -- He's got some issues we should back up -- -- a little background on who this guy is John kept jumping as one of the more controversial people Wall Street.
Member of wartime Goldman Sachs guy.
Lead in was part of the coup that -- -- Jon Corzine.
You know teamed up he was a good -- the job -- as a kind of back sort of a little bit joined Hank Paulson.
I'm John Thornton triumvirate got rid of Jon Corzine was there at bad Goldman for many years then went to the New York Stock Exchange.
After Grasso what are the interest in things he did right after he went into New York Stock Exchange he took down.
Every single picture of -- at the New York Stock Exchange including one of the more -- -- the opening bell on September 17.
Member of Dick Grasso said they are ringing the opening bell after the 9/11 attacks a week later.
With the cops and firemen and the politicians John Thain took down that iconic photographs and gives you little indication what that guy is.
He -- wanted Merrill Lynch.
And again.
Very controversial known as a pretty good operational guy but did it's kind of I would say -- it's stupid stuff when Merrill obviously needed more capital during -- financial crisis.
It was obvious said that they -- -- they were they were looking to make deals to to get them more capital he would say that things aren't so bad things aren't so bad you know we don't he would basically dispel the notion.
We're trying to dispel the notion they need more capital and then they used to do that -- firm -- into bankruptcy.
Or near bankruptcy was what by Bank of America just from what you saw up there well guess what happened.
He went out and tried to pain suffered a ten million dollar bonus that was shot down but what heavily criticized by Sheila Bair in a book.
And then guess what he did after that -- both -- guess what comes after that disclosure that he.
Basically we -- his office with eight.
35000 dollar.
RR Kelly yes I don't yeah -- that.
It was a commode on wheels fake out.

Or continue to doubt pastor Rick Warren are a little one thing he argued it's for the rich paying more in taxes I want -- got about this is that.
It that is expected of them they've they've profited and and live very well.
And and they have to give something back I always go back and say well you know and a lot of people don't pay any taxes at all some quite genuinely but it's gotten to the point -- -- -- don't.
And and that seems a little screwy but you that as it may do the rich have an obligation.
To pay more in tax.
Well first let me just say and -- alleged that question first let me say the Bible does not have.
A lot of economic.
System with things saying this is that there are economic prints that they give this event of the season is that right.
It has economic principles the Bible says that the more wealthy.
The more blessed we are the more we are to be a blessing to others.
The Bible doesn't say.
Is that somebody spoke to take that from -- and give it on your behalf it says you are supposed to give it this is the difference between voluntary giving.
And by the way.
The wealthiest people in America when I think people like Bill Gates or Warren -- look at what they're doing they are the most generous.
They are the most generous people.
Bill Gates is given seventy billion dollars toward.
But care all around the world soak -- any fault that but here's the thing he -- Let's do the brits have a difficult time they mean that -- that it is easier for average prison.
But a lot of the camel to that of a -- to get the than it is to get to -- Heidi is we got -- half heartedly it's you are well wealthy.
Are you pretty much -- you plan on addressing likely have to died because it's going to be hot where you're going.
We have to do what I call the stewardship of affluence in the stewardship of influence.
If I were to say to you Neil at the end of this year.
The American dollars no longer gonna going to be available we're gonna switch to the Japanese yen.
What would you do well if you were Smart man you would switch as much -- view as of your assets.
In -- Japanese yen as possible right now and who -- maintain only enough dollars to get you through to the end of the year.
The -- calls this storing up treasure and haven't.
And that is.
You can't take it with you but you can send it on ahead and you send it on ahead.
By investing in people who are going there and when you help other people the Bible says in as much as you've done it to meet Jesus said you've done it to others.
You can't serve god directly -- you can't see him.
The only way to serve god here on earth is to serve god by serving others and -- to serve god we have our wealth.
We -- to serve god we -- our talents we -- to serve god with our time and we -- to serve god by serving others using those things so.
The mortgage and doesn't mean you have to go to church right because fewer people may be your great parents have -- understanding are going to -- right and what we're talking about the -- Americans even do that -- -- I guess what and ask you is.
In this society where things are changing maybe -- government is the -- Alter.
The debt that.
It's hard to make that sell.
-- let me -- let me give -- my own personal example.
Most people know that I am -- reversed by either in fact we just raised and another percent this year.
I give away 91% of all I make.
And I live on 99 and start there 37 years ago when my wife and I got married we began giving 10% of our income.
A way that's called fighting each year we would raise at least 1%.
On the years we had.
Raises are windfall when you raise it three or 45%.
And -- we're going to tight time tough time and there was no -- -- -- think we don't raise a quarter percent now after 37 years.
I give away 91% of my income and live on nine.
That's been the most fun of my life now I'd much rather be able to do that the number government taxes and give it away because the first place.
I trust myself to give it away better than I trust them.
Right -- that is well -- Real quickly do you think.
God -- first Fox Business over CNBC.
Probably I don't know.
You know because some on the box right now I would say -- you know.
A fantastic seriously is clearly a purpose driven life is the -- one of the greatest upside of -- and most -- rates and as well.
He is a class act congratulations thank you Rick Warren's Saddleback Church pastor -- -- there.

Lifetime Brands Debuts Wine Accessories For Savora LineWednesday August 21st, 2013 - 12:14PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Lifetime Brands added three new food prep items and five new bar and wine accessories to its Savora line at this month's NY NOW. "The entire Savora collection was inspired by the passion and romance surrounding food and wine culture. We are excited to evolve the brand with our Wine Collection. Our research shows that there is a definitive demand for tools that cater to the wine drinker," said Sid Ramnarace,vp/Global Brand Integration at Lifetime Brands, Inc., who leads the Savora design and engineering team. "The Savora Wine Collection delivers the ultimate user experience with a sophisticated and beautiful look backed by high-performance." The five new introductions to The Savora Wine Collection include a Waiter's Corkscrew, Winged Corkscrew, Self-Pulling Corkscrew, Pourer/Stopper and Bottle Stopper. The collection is designed to reflect trends in wine culture, the company said, and the design was inspired by fashion, nature and architecture as well as the contours of high-end automobiles. All items except the Savora Waiter's Corkscrew are available in eight, fashion-forward colors, the company said, while the Waiter's Corkscrew is available in Chrome. New barware items have suggested retail prices in the $9.99-$29.99 range. New to the food prep line are the Savora Colander, Pizza Wheel and Hand Grater. Each new food prep item also has elements reminiscent of automobile features, the company said. The Colander, for example, has drainage holes designed in a vortex pattern to evoke the feel of a luxury roadster's wheels, the company said. Suggested retail is $49.99. The Pizza Wheel, designed with blade kullens so food slides off easily, and the Hand Grater, which includes a container to capture shavings, have suggested retail prices of $29.99 each. "As with all Savora products, these latest introductions are meant to be used and displayed by those who consider their kitchen an extension of themselves," said Sid Ramnarace,vp/Global Brand Integration at Lifetime Brands, Inc., who leads the Savora design and engineering team.

Afternoon All,
I've had the following crash (refer to screenshot) when trying to design central support beam 52 in the model below. I can't find any explanation as to what is causing it and am unable to design the beam at the moment due to it. Has anyone had this pop up and know the cause?
Beam 20 in attached model - there is a large narrow void in the adjacent slab which this beam supports, however in detailed analysis the loads do not seem to be transferring to the beam, hence beam reinforcement seems light. Can anyone shed any light as to why this is happening?
Link to zipped RTD file below:
Many Thanks,
Please try the following:
1. Switch to the Geomerty layout
2. Export the beam to the RC Beam design module as shown on the attached picture
in case you still have the same error repeat steps 1 and 2 again. This time you should be able to export the beam.
The reason is some issue with update of information in the Inspector which is currently under investigation.
If you find your post answered press the Accept as Solution button please. This will help other users to find solutions much faster. Thank you.
Hi Artur,
I've tried the steps above twice, also re-meshed the house and the same "bad dynamiccast" pop-up is appearing.
If you find your post answered press the Accept as Solution button please. This will help other users to find solutions much faster. Thank you.
Thanks Artur
Hi Artur,
Beam 313 on the ground floor. I've tried the method of repeatedly swapping between geometry and RC provided member reinforcement design as shown in the screencast 6 times and it keeps giving the dynamic cast crash with an additional crash message afterwards, both attached.
Found a workaround. For those encountering the same problem -
1) Try screencast steps, if it doesnt work proceed to 2.
2) Save robot file to different file name.
3) Re-mesh, re analyse all bars.
4) do NOT use the toolbar drop down box which quick switches between geometry and RC design, instead click on element, then "design - provided reinforcement of RC elements" from the main dark grey menu.
The same message in "bad dynamic cast crash 2.JPG" pops up, but atleast the members are exported to the RC member designer.
We will try to address this issue in SP3 for Robot 2013.

Artist Profile
Gerry spent his childhood in a small country village in the heart of the Hampshire Downs, which had a strong influence on his artistic development, in particular his landscape painting. Gerry's preferred medium is Acrylic on board, but he also works in watercolour, gouache and pastels. He strives to capture natureâ€ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢€Å¾Ã'¢s fleeting and illusive moods and atmospheres and is fascinated by the play of light, the nuance of tones, the affects of aerial perspective in creating depth and the subtle contribution of colour harmony to the ambience of the scene
He has a passion for painting, deep-sea diving, photography, filming and hiking and his time is now divided between his family home in the Netherlands and his second home in Hope Cove in the South Hams. When in the Netherlands he works on dive paintings. In South Devon landscape paintings take the forefront.
He discovered the South West in the 1960's and has documented his many visits, painting local views, which he has now compiled into a book. This beautiful portfolio, depicting the artwork by Gerry also features directions for both well worn and less trodden local walks, ideal for exploring the amazing scenery in and around the area.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Hello! My name is Isaac, and I am recently graduated from Southern Methodist University.I tutored for over 2 years, both at SMU and at a private learning center, and I look forward to working with you! My philosophy on education is simple: learning is not simply a list of facts which one must memorize, but an essential aspect of human beings. The ability to receive ideas, think critically about those ideas, and express one's own thoughts clearly either verbally or by writing is crucial to functioning in the world, no matter one's profession or career. In short, education is a about learning HOW to learn, and I am passionate about helping others to acquire this life skill.I earned my BA in Philosophy at SMU, and, along with courses in my major, have taken quite a few English classes as well. Reading, comprehension,critical thinking, and writing are my specialty areas, and I have taught them for two years now. I have tutored children as young as five years old to prepare them for kindergarten all the way up to college students needing to improve their writing techniques and critical thinking skills.I have played guitar for 9 years now and have a full knowledge of the techniques used on the instrument, as well as a basic working knowledge of music theory.I also played football for six years from 7th to 12th grade and know the game, as well as exercises for improving techniques for ANY position, from quarterback to defensive line. In addition, I have a basic knowledge of Judo, Jui-Jitsu, and freestyle wrestling which I will be happy to impart.
I was a clinician at Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes from June 2010 until May 2012, and during that time I taught both reading and elementary math. I also taught students with dyslexia and various other learning disabilities. My methods include fun ways to help students visualize the symbols of language (letters and words) and link them with their correlating sounds. My philosophy with education is that almost anybody can learn to read well, if somebody takes the time to make it accessible to... Read More
I have tutored writing professionally for over two years now, both at Southern Methodist University and Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes. During that time, I worked with students from the age of five up to as old as thirty. Proofreading, grammatical instruction, organizing ideas, and condensing content are just a few of the ways I can help you with your writing. However, I won't simply do those things for you and "fix" your writing, but teach you those skills so you're able to write well on your... Read More
In high school, I received a perfect score on the English section of the ACT. Since then, I have taken several English courses and written countless essays in college. Grammar, vocabulary, and sentence/paragraph structure are areas in which I am particularly knowledgeable.
I was a clinician at Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes from June 2010 until May 2012, and during that time I taught both reading and elementary math. My methods include fun ways to make basic mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, etc.), fractions, decimals, and word problems concrete and accessible. My philosophy with elementary education is that all children can learn these things, if somebody takes the time to make it accessible to them and their particular learning style.
I was a clinician for Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes for two years, and while the programs there are designed for all ages (5-adults), most of our students are grades 1-8. I have spent more than 500 hours teaching elementary age children reading, comprehension, and math. In addition, my work with students at the learning center was conducted in one-on-one sessions, so the methods I used transfer over well to tutoring.To aid in reading, students are taught to visualize a letter as...

I have played guitar for nine years now. In that time, I have acquired a working knowledge of virtually all technical skills involved in the rock/folk tradition of the instrument, including chords, arpeggios, hammer ons, pull offs, basic sweep picking, alternate picking, string skipping, and much more. I am also knowledgeable in basic classical techniques such as finger picking.In addition, I have an intermediate knowledge of music theory, including such skills as reading music, contriving...

I played football from 7-12th grade in such positions as runningback, wide receiver, linebacker, defensive end, cornerback, and even defensive tackle. In those six years of playing, I learned methods for developing defensive skills such as tackling, shedding blockers, fitting on the defensive line, and coverage techniques. I also learned how to enhance offensive skills such as passing, blocking, carrying, catching. In addition, I learned countless drills for developing strength and agility, which... Read More

Comments about Ritchey WCS Ergo Truegrips:
Great at first but they compressed to the point where they didn't have much cushion left. My hands started hurting bad after a while...if you do buy them, for the price get 3 pair and change often. However at that price you can just buy some nicer ones that will last longer.

Comments about Ritchey WCS Ergo Truegrips:
Very light weight. I have installed/removed the same grips several times without ripping or tearing the foam. They do not spin around the bar when in position. The foam is soft and will be damaged if you bail while riding. No odor from these after 120 miles.

If they kill off Harry, I'll be a little sad. But if they kill off Charlie on "Lost" then I'll be inconsolable! Lol.
^^ Yes, yes! Mixtape, post those pics! I'd love to see them.
11:09 pm
Ugh. I did the same thing. I think that image is burned in my mind.
Here this should help (now that's one fine behind):
[Image Can Not Be Found]
Sorry for getting off topic, I just had to.
"We are looking to set up a helpline for them.''
Okay, so this is ages old, but I just noticed this. I'm sort of amused by the fact that she's relating the possibility of Harry Potter dying to Take That breaking up.
Mainly because I had NO FUCKING CLUE who Take That was until I Googled them.
(Apparently they were a Brit pop band in the early 90's, of which one Robbie Williams was a member.)
I am also amused because this lady seems to be implying that the kids back then were so upset about Take That breaking up that they should have had a hotline. Like for Harry Potter. Hmm. I'm sure they all got through it okay…
(No, seriously, Take That? Robbie Williams? Does anybody pay attention to him anymore? Like, I remember watching part of a televised Robbie Williams concert on Jan. 1st, but that was because there was nothing else on….)
(Really. Come on. If you're going to go with pop group comparisons, I think Ginger leaving the Spice Girls was a bit of a bigger deal. Imho. Mainly because I've heard of the Spice Girls. Though I didn't grow up in Britain in the 1990's, so what do I know…)
Rachel: I need you to be my J orge!
Me: Are you asking me to be your Invisible Robot?
Rachel: Katy, will you be my Invisible Robot?
omg omg omg omg omg omg i has a blog.
4:23 pm
^^ Oh, believe me, I barely remember it but take That splitting was a HUGE thing. I mean, girls screaming and crying and everything. I work with receptionists who still get upset about it. And four of them (minus Robbie Williams – an utter prat) recently got back together and released some songs, and for those girls who had been teenagers in love at the time, it was like heaven or something. Take That were BIG. Shit, but big.
Ginger Spice leaving was way worse for me though. Mainly because when we played "Spice Girls" (this was a playground game for us), I was always her, so I got kicked out of the game… *sigh*
4:37 pm
have i heard correctly that the spice girls are coming back?? the hollywood gossip man said they're recording a greatest hits thing and then touring.
I'm camping out at the shopping centre before the last HP book comes out. I'm not that obsessed i just figureed it's gonna be the last time i can do something silly like that. The plan is to steal the keys from my work and hide in the store room so security can't find us muahaha!
When Spice World came out in the theaters, I went to see it with a few friends and we dressed as them. I was Ginger too. I knew I liked you for a reason.
7:43 am
I am grinning rather insanely right now
Ginger was always the best. She had that husky voice thing going on. And red hair (ish). Which is obviously cool
6:22 am
I LOVE that you guys played spice girls as a game…
It wasn't much of a game to be honest, though…
One friend (sporty) kicked the air a lot;
Another (scary) walked around "rawwr"ing at people;
Another (baby) brought lolly pops into school to suck on and twiddle her hair;
Another (posh) looked down her nose at everyone;
And I went around flirting with guys. That was the unanimous decision of what my job entailed.
We were freaks…. lol
Ginger was always the best. She had that husky voice thing going on. And red hair (ish). Which is obviously cool
The embarrassing thing about this is that I was 17. You at least had the excuse of being in elementary school. I'll have to post the pic of me and my friend as Ginger and Baby. Her costume is WAY more accurate.
12:34 pm
Eeee! I'm going to hold you to that!
I remember Take That being absolutely huge. I was confused too when I was living over there (U.K.) and saw them on the front of just about every tabloid every week. (Them and Princess Di). I'd never heard of them either but someone explained to me that they were like the Backstreet Boys were to the U.S. Then when Robbie Williams went out on his own, I didn't know what the big deal was until I heard he used to be in Take That, and then I understood why people made a big deal out of it.
I remember this conversation with a kid at some music show here in Germany:
Us: "We saw Paul McCartney last weekend!"
Kid: "I saw Robbie Williams!"
Me: "Yeah. That's… the same…"
I don't think Robbie Williams is bad, though, just for the record. He's got a couple listenable songs that I know of.
