I can't remember the last time I picked up my knitting needles and created anything out of yarn, or pulled out my spray paint except to loan it to my neighbor, or redecorated a wall after searching pinterest for ideas. I did try my hand at making gigantic hair bows for the girls, with medium success, so there's that. It just hasn't been my year for arts and crafts.
But it has been my year for reading. I feel like I've been reading a lot, and I'm not sure when I did it all, but mostly I think it was when I was sitting in the carpool line waiting for the kids to get out of school, often with Landis climbing all over me or standing up through the sun roof and waving at strangers.
I feel like all of the books I've read this year have been truly meaningful and good. I wouldn't consider myself the best critic, with lists of pros and cons in my back pocket. But I don't love every book I read, so I have some sort of discernment. Anyway, the ones I've read this year have been beautifully written and compelling, books I could definitely read again, some of which I've already read two times.
Most of the books I read I buy the hard copy, because I just loving having the paper in my hands and I learn better that way. But I also read a few books on my kindle that I'll mention as well.
Let's talk Emily P. Freeman. Why have I not read her books until this last year? She speaks my language, and remarkably I think we have quite a bit in common, except for the part about her being an actual published author bit, but that's a minor detail. I keep thinking how I'd love to have lunch with her and have a heart to heart, I just feel like I relate to what she says so much.
Grace for the Good Girl is the one I read first, and I loved it so much I re-read it with our community group women, and it led to some meaningful discussion and definite opportunities to probe the heart and try to tackle the depths of the subject of hiding behind self-made masks. It was a real eye opener and very convicting. I will definitely be re-re-reading this one.
(on a further note, she has a book called Graceful which is much of the same material but is written for teenage girls; I have it and plan to read it and see if Amaleah should read it at some point coming up.)
Simply Tuesday was a good read, kept me moving mentally and had some really good thoughts. I'm still pondering it a bit, but I think the overall simplified gist is learning how to embrace your everyday moments and to be willing to be small, and how to see what Jesus is doing right here and now in my life. In some ways I feel like I get what she's saying, and in other ways I feel like it's just out of my reach. But I like it.
A Million Little Ways–I'm almost finished with this one, and let's just say it's the exact book I needed for this very moment in my life. I bought it quite a few months ago when I bought her other books but I had no idea what it was about. Then last week I just needed something to read while I was sick in bed and it was the only book in my side table so I started it. And really I think it was a book ordained by God for me to read as I approach this new year. It speaks to my soul about what it means to be image bearers of God, and how to uncover the things He has already designed in you and to live as an artist even in your every day life. It's a freeing read and has put words to thoughts I've had but couldn't really verbalize them.
Big Love, and The Hardest Peace, by Kara Tippetts. Big Love is an e-book, and a wonderful look at choosing kindness in parenting. Oh man, I need this book again. The Hardest Peace is Kara's story of walking in God's grace through the most difficult days of her life. Deeply moving and highly recommended. (be ready to cry some though)
Nobody's Cuter Than You, by Melanie Shankle. Melanie is Amaleah's friend's mom and it's been so fun to read all of her books (Sparkly Green Earrings, The Antelope in the Living Room) and get to know her some in real life. She's completely real and down to earth, and hysterical. This book is about friendship, and I promise you it will remind you of your closest friends and you'll come away feeling more endeared to them.
For the Love, by Jen Hatmaker. This book is basically a collection of really great articles. Each chapter is completely different and about an entirely different subject. It's chalk full of laughs, as promised because obviously it's Jen Hatmaker, and quite thought provoking. I love how she can speak the truth, be direct about some things even in the Church today, but you come away feeling like she loves everyone and hasn't insulted anyone, because she has such an amazing way with words. Some of my favorite chapters were "Run Your Race," "Tell the Truth," "Surviving School," and "Dear Church," but of course all of them are great.
Home is Where My People Are, by Sophie Hudson. This is basically and autobiography of Sophie's life, in a style uniquely her own. She tells a very real story about her life and struggles, where she's been and who she is, and it's so sweetly laced with the Gospel and how God drew her to Himself over time and trials and growth. It's a page turner.
Wild in the Hollow, by Amber Haines. Okay, so this girl can write. It's like a poem without it being a poem, its just gorgeous. This book too is almost an autobiography, and is deeply profound and personally challenging. She's been through some stuff in her life and God has definitely enabled her to see His grace in it all and to come to a place where she's freely walking with Him. A beautiful read.
You Can Change, by Tim Chester. We have loved Tim Chester's Gospel Centered Church, and now really love this book. We did it as a community group together, and it allowed for some open and honest discussion. He encourages you to work on a change project throughout this whole book, primarily learning that change comes through what you believe about God and how that trickles down to what you believe about yourself.
A Loving Life, by Paul E. Miller. I absolutely loved his book, A Praying Life, and so I picked this one up and we started it as a group of women (sadly didn't finish it together). It's basically a study of the book of Ruth, digging deeply into what it means to have selfless love in relationships. I have to admit some of this book is hard to grapple with, maybe because it's calling us to so much self-sacrifice and my flesh wants to fight that. In some ways I think he stretches out the book of Ruth a little much, but overall I think it's a good read about the nature of love even in difficult relationships.
A few others I read:
Writing Life Stories (currently working through this one, it's a teaching book about writing), by Bill Roorbach; The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert, by Rosaria Butterfield; Still Alice, by Lisa Genova; Just 18 Summers, by Michelle Cox & Rene Gutteridge
Gosh, after going back through all these books I'm kind of amazed I read all these in one year. I hope you read some of these this year, and tell me how you like them.

Cost of Legal Education/
By Andrew Brockman
"The average debt taken on by a law school graduate was $84,000 if … [attending] public schools and $122,158 if [attending] private schools."
Within the United States, there is no doubt that cost of education is one the most debated issues. It is a political issue that has both sides of isle arguing. Whether it be Bernie Sanders requesting free college education, or Betsy DeVos promoting charter school, education is on the forefront of our democracy.
The ironic thing about education costs in America is that the better you educate yourself, the more it costs. This is dramatically true when looking at students who choose to gain a legal education.
In the United States, the average cost of law school is $34,000 a year.[1] If a student is fortunate enough to attend a top ten law school, the cost raises $43,000.[2] Michigan State University College of Law, as a private school only affiliated with Michigan State University, charges $43,260 per year.[3]
This is not the way it is in all places though. By looking at Canada and Scotland, a potential law student can see that other countries do not gouge students attending law school.
For example, Toronto is one of the most populated cities in Canada. Students that attend the University's law school are going to pay a semester fee of $17,392.[4] This makes the total cost per year at $34,734.82.[5] American readers will immediate think this is similar to the United States because of the same symbol for the dollar; however, there is a big difference.
Currently, the exchange rate between Canada and the US is 1:0.76. This makes the total cost of legal education in a year at University of Toronto $26,418.71 American dollars. Compared to the average school in the US, tuition at the University of Toronto is 22% cheaper.
If researching tuition rates across the Atlantic Ocean, Scotland is a good spot to look as it is another common law legal system. Located about a half hour away from Edinburgh, Glasgow, and St. Andrews, Stirling University is a mid-size school in the heart of Scotland. For 2017/2018, students that are from Scotland or the European Union only pay £5,950 per semester.[6] One must also remember how much cheaper undergraduate programs in the United Kingdom are as well.
At £11,900 per year, students at Stirling are not given the same amount of crippling debt that students in the United States are given. Each Pound is worth $1.25, so the total cost for a year of law school at Stirling University is $14,902. Working from the average number from above, Stirling's tuition rates are 44% cheaper than the average US school. 4 year students at Stirling only pay £1,820 a year, which comes out to $2,276.51.[7] Very few, if any 4 year American Universities at all, are willing to charge so little.
Toronto and Stirling are not charging huge amounts of money to gain a law degree, which is a major contrast from the United States. Students considering law school are tempted by scholarships for the top ten percent of law school classes; however, the top ten percent is just that.
All law students believe that they will be in the top 10%, but the new surrounding of people just as smart and hardworking, combined with the dreaded 1L curve, makes for a rude awaking just in time for Christmas for most of the class. The bottom 90% are forced to seek out other scholarships, work study programs, or family generosity if they are lucky. Usually, the remainder of students take out loans to pay tuition.
According to the American Bar Association, "the average debt taken on by a law school graduate was $84,000 if … [attending] public schools and $122,158 if [attending] private schools.[8]"the scary part is that the jobs are not there at graduation.[9] That looming debt is huge. It could potentially stop a recent law graduate from obtaining a mortgage or car loan. Further, it does not even take into account the amount of debt a student may bring with them from their undergraduate program.
The prospect of huge salaries is making students in the US take out large loans; however, the salaries are rarely rewarded after graduation. This leaves students with meager salaries to pay off loans worthy of a home mortgage. This inevitable outcome definitely played a role in the American Bar Association publishing The Value Proposition of Attending Law School, a paper which essentially warned college students to reconsider their options if planning on attending law school.[10]

Spin that shit.
All I Want For Christmas
I admit, I'm Asatru, but we all have our own Winter Holidays. I hope yours is much better than my family situation which endures year after years, where family only grows farther apart, rather than closer together. It's not even politics. They just hate each other. "Unconditional love", does anyone ever hear those words anymore? A little more in this World wouldn't hurt.
@POTUS Thank you for all you have done for our Country since you took office, and thank you for all you continue to do. The White House may be a little empty, but you have a Nation standing shoulder to shoulder with you. Therefore, you are not alone this Holiday. Have a great Christmas, and please keep up the great work!
Much love to the World, and to our beautiful Country, and Citizens here in the United States. Happy Holiday's to you all!

Battlefield V – Medic – The Art Of Dying
Music: Gojira, The Art Of Dying
Although the developers have censored chat, avoided some of the most epic battles, (as of the time of this posting) and a few other minor details. The game itself is a blast. Still some bugs, and minute details to work out, but it's nearly perfection already. Gameplay is a mixture of Battlefield 4, and Battlefield 1, with new enhancements. You also have the ability to customize your characters and weapons. Current level caps are at 20 per class, and 50 at rank.
Recently rolled out was Tides of War.
Basic run down by class.
Assaults = Assault Rifles, Semi Auto/DMR's, and Shotguns
Medics = SMG's
Supports/Engineers = LMG's, MMG's, and Shotguns
Snipers = Bolt Action and Semi-Auto/DMR's
Stoned as fuck playing Battlefield V is a riot. Watch out for Kamikaze's.
*9/10 Rating in my view so far. Really close to a solid 10. Thanks for the patch EA. It only gets better. Keep it up!

Planning commission recommends denying Grasshopper solar project
By a 7-2 vote on Thursday night the Mecklenburg County Planning Commission voted to recommend that the Mecklenburg Board of Supervisors deny a special exception permit for the Grasshopper solar project just outside of Chase City.
The move comes approximately eight months after Geenex first proposed the project.
Representatives of Geenex Solar, based in Charlotte, N.C., first approached the community with a series of introductory meetings held at the Estes Community Center in Chase City in November of last year. Geenex CEO Juergen Fehr was on hand to describe the 80-megawatt project to be located on a 946-acre site located on Route 49 at the northern end of town. The project would be located adjacent to the town.
Geenex was the second firm to announce plans for a solar "farm" in the Chase City area. Carolina Solar arrived on the scene in October to propose the Bluestone Solar Project, a slightly smaller project to be located on Spanish Grove Road, approximately 2 miles outside of Chase City.
The Bluestone project was granted a special exemption permit before members of the Mecklenburg County Board of Supervisors began expressing concerns about how the massive investments would impact the county and affect the county's Composite Index, a formula the state uses to determine state and local funding shares for public school districts.
Initially, it appeared that under Virginia's tax schedule on solar farms and related equipment, investments on the scale of the solar projects would result in a loss of state school funding.
In December, the supervisors voted to delay any further action until the county was able to gather more information about solar farms and their potential to impact the area. Consultants Gregory Haley and Darren Coffey were hired to provide additional information for the county.
In lengthy reports prepared by both Haley and Coffey, both consultants came to the conclusion that commercial scale solar energy plants are not in compliance with Mecklenburg County's Comprehensive Plan and do not fit with the goals outlined in that document.
On Thursday night, Gregory Haley delivered an overview of the results he presented to the Planning Commission at its June meeting. He told the group that solar issues are new to the Commonwealth and are complicated from a land use perspective. He repeated that many of the aspects of commercial scale solar plants are inconsistent with the goals outlined in the county's Comprehensive Plan.
Specific areas of conflict, he said, are mostly in terms of protecting farmland and agriculture in the area.
Also, Haley pointed out that the plan lists the types of industries the county will focus on, and commercial scale solar power generation is not part of that and in some cases conflicts with the goals outlined in the document. He also discussed the fact that the county has zoned some areas for industry and set up industrial parks throughout the county. The plan, he explained, does not provide for commercial scale solar generation projects.
Another concern expressed was over the process of shutting down and dismantling the solar plant at the end of its useful life, which is estimated at 40 years. Haley said that if the project is approved, provisions need to be provided to ensure that the money to decommission the project would be more specifically outlined to guarantee that funding will be available.
Haley also told the group that should Mecklenburg decide to allow solar farms in the area, changes should be made to the Comprehensive Plan to include and provide for the addition of solar power as an industry in the county.
Ann-Neil Cosby, an attorney with McGuireWoods representing Geenex, told the group that the company has acted in good faith and provided all of the information asked of it. She said the company wants to work with the county and added that the project does not conflict with any of the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan and that the Grasshopper Project has wide support in the Chase City area.
Cosby pointed out that the Comprehensive Plan does not say anything about the location of solar facilities and added that this is not the first time the company has run into this issue. She told the group that in similar cases the company has assisted localities with wording changes that would permit solar facilities to locate in specific areas without conflicts with their plans.
"We're asking the same thing as before," said Cosby. "I don't think anything has changed."
While she said she realizes that staff has proposed changes to zoning and ordinances to dissuade solar projects, she hopes the county will consider this request under the same rules that were in place when the original application was filed.
She concluded by pointing out that the company would accept the conditions suggested and that the company wants to work with the county. She said the company supports preserving agriculture and saving farmland but asked if the county wanted all of the land for farm use.
"A parcel can't be both," she said.
Tommy Nelson of BayWa, the company that has taken over the project started by Geenex, told the group that fears that the county will soon be covered with solar power facilities are unfounded because there is limited capacity on transmission lines. Once that capacity is reached, any new projects would require large and expensive upgrades to the transmission system and that, he said, is too costly for any project to handle.
"There will not be an endless stream of solar farms," said Nelson.
Nelson told the group that although he could not give the group a fixed number of projects that the existing infrastructure could handle, the number does have a limit and that limit is much smaller than most people realize.
Nelson concluded by saying there is enough land in the region for both agriculture and solar generation. He pointed out that North Carolina ranks No. 2 in the country for solar generation and that less than 2 percent of land previously used for farming has gone for solar use.
Opening the floor for a public hearing on the application, five people spoke, four in favor of the project and one opposed.
Mac Bailey, owner of the land on which the project would be located, described the history of the farm and how he came to acquire it from George Spaulding. Now, said Bailey, he is "getting up in years" and had been approached by Geenex with an offer to rent the property. Bailey told them he wasn't interested in renting but would consider selling.
Bailey said that solar generation does not impact the environment and does not hurt anyone or anything.
"It's the coming thing," said Bailey.
Bailey also told the group that he had invested time, work and money in the property and "I'd like to see some return for my hard work." He added that although he had been told he could not sell his land to the company, no one had told him why. He feels, he said, that he should be able to do what he wants with his property.
Charles Willis, a lifetime Chase City resident and member of the Chase City Town Council, told the group that "the land in question, all my life, has been power line with occasional cattle." A solar farm, he added, would not make a lot of difference.
Willis also quoted statistics that show Mecklenburg has seen a 4.2 percent decrease in population over the last 10 years, and the loss has doubled in the last two years.
"I don't see any other industry coming forward in the foreseeable future," said Willis. "I haven't seen any real estate developer wanting to develop property for houses. We have to change. None of us want to limit the opportunities for our young people or see them leave."
He added that the Grasshopper Project would be "a great asset" to the renewable energy market.
Willis compared the current situation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers securing 115,000 acres for the formation of Kerr (Buggs Island) Lake in the late '40s and early '50s.
"There was a lot of opposition, but there had to be a change made, and look what it's done for this county," said Willis. "This is the next logical step. We should be taking advantage of this opportunity."
Mozine Lowe, executive director for the Center for Energy Education, told the group that the company wants to bring education about the solar industry to the area. Lowe talked about the growth of solar power in Virginia, the growing number of jobs related to that industry and how the Center for Energy Education hopes to work with the local community college system to provide training for those jobs.
Brian Crutchfield, a civil engineer and landowner in Mecklenburg, told the planning commission that he would be working with the company on storm water and sediment control plans.
"I've done a lot of work with the company," said Crutchfield. "They're a class organization. I think they would be an asset. Mecklenburg would be better off to have them."
Speaking against the project was a Chase City resident who lives adjacent to the proposed site. While Kathy Keel said that the company had worked with her to allay her fears about it affecting her property, she still opposes the project.
"I don't think it's good for the town of Chase City," she said.
Keel talked about the natural beauty of the area and how the site would be seen by anyone entering the town.
"I hope you do make them do the vegetative barrier so I don't have to see it," she said. "All of the people who have spoken don't live in the county expect for Charles Willis."
Keel added that the company would "get their money, doing nothing for Chase City or Mecklenburg. The jobs are going to get done and be gone."
She added that surrounding the town with solar panels is "not what we want for this county."
"Make them do something for us," she said. "What are we getting?"
Keel concluded by saying she had been generally impressed by the people she had dealt with but that there interests are not in the community's best interests.
She added that she felt Chase City had erred in recruitment efforts in the past, citing Sherwood Foods and Star Scientific as companies that failed to deliver on their promises, costing the town and county and the citizens.
"I haven't seen any improvements in this town," said Keel. "We're going to be here, and they're going to be gone."
The full board of supervisors is expected to consider the planning commission's recommendation at its next meeting.

The government announced its plan to prevent the recurrence of personal data leak accident on March 10, 2014. In a press briefing jointly held by the Financial Services Commission, Ministry of Strategy and Finance, Ministry of Security and Public Administration, Korea Communications Commission, and Financial Supervisory Service, FSC Chairman Shin Je-Yoon promised that the authorities will make sure that personal data leak accident will never happen again in the financial industry.
The announced plan contains 7 key measures:
1) Financial companies will only be permitted to collect the necessary minimum personal information and store the collected data for 5 years to the maximum.
2) Resident registration number will be required only once in the first financial transaction and stored in an encrypted form.
3) Important clauses related to the provision of personal information will be printed in bold type to increase legibility.
4) Financial institutions will be required to introduce 'Do-not-call' system which financial customers can register to deny phone calls for marketing purposes. Financial customers will be able to check whether their personal information is being used and shared legitimately by financial firms.
5) CEO's responsibility on data protection and security will be intensified. Punitive sanctions against those who fail to safeguard customer information will be significantly strengthened.
6) A special agency for electronic financial data security will be established. All POS terminal devices will be replaced with IC card payment devices to ensure safe protection of personal credit card data.
7) All unnecessary personal information provided by financial groups and shared with their affiliates will be immediately deleted. Financial companies will be required to establish a contingency plan for future data leak accident.

'Bags of excrement'
On Sunday, protesters peacefully vacated a park in Burlington, Vermont, days after a 35-year-old military veteran committed suicide in a tent there.
But the eviction in Portland was not so amicable.
Mayor Sam Adams ordered the camp to be shut down on the grounds that "crime, especially reported assaults, has increased in the area around the camps".
Ogawa plaza after the raid, 14 November 2011 More than 100 tents were removed from the plaza on Monday
Using loudspeakers, police warned that anyone who resisted orders to leave the parks and surrounding areas risked arrest and "may also be subject to chemical agents and impact weapons".
Witnesses said there were confrontations and shouting as police in riot gear attempted to move people out of the squares.
Meanwhile, a group of small-business owners in New York on Monday urged the authorities to put an end to the original Occupy Wall Street camp in Zuccotti Park.
They said it was ruining their businesses and complained that protesters kept using their toilets facilities to wash, deterring customers.
The owner of a Chinese restaurant said demonstrators had been disposing of bags of their excrement outside his business.
The New York camp is due to mark the beginning of its third month of continuous protest on Thursday.
In St Louis, Missouri, where 27 anti-Wall Street protesters were arrested on Saturday, lawyers for Occupy St Louis planned to take their bid to regain their downtown campsite to federal court on Tuesday.
Police also moved in to evict protesters camping in the cities of Denver, Colorado, and Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday. Seventeen people were arrested in Denver, police said.

Having just watched Simon Keeling's video posted on the Early thoughts thread, I thought I'd look at the current odds for a white Christmas this year and found 10-1 odds for Manchester on one site. I know some people are very anti-gambling with valid reasons, so apologies if anyone takes offence, but I for one like a flutter and I think that looks like good value!
P.S I know this isn't strictly model discussion but stems from it so couldn't see anywhere better to post... snowsign :YMPRAY:
Worth a flutter?

Since 1975, the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) has provided an exemption for individuals providing what were deemed attendant care services from minimum wage and overtime. Later, the service of providing care in the home was referred to as private duty care, personal care, in-home care, elder care, or senior care. No matter the term used, it has always been assisting individuals in their place of residence, with their day-to-day living skills. As of November 12, 2015, the exemption has been removed by the Department of Labor and the current Administration.
The removal of this exemption will directly impact all individuals and families needing assistance in the home from a caregiver who is working through a third party or home care agency. As of the November date, all caregivers working through a third party employer will be required to be paid overtime for anything over 40 hours in a week. This means that if you have a need for more than 8 hours a day, 5 days a week you will see multiple caregivers coming through your home. If you need 24-hour around the clock care, you could be looking at a minimum of 4 or more people each week coming through your home. It will most likely be far more.
Then you get to the costs associated with these new Department of Labor rules! What was once a shift rate for a 24 hour time frame, it is now an hourly rate with 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep time required, or it becomes hourly for the 24 hour period. These costs run from $350 to $500 a day for 24 hour care in your home. As the costs continue to rise for minimum wage the Home Care Agencies will have to increase their costs to maintain their margins. Hourly rates are now going from $18.00 to $30.00 an hour, or more. The pay rate to caregivers range from $7.25 to $12.00.
Below are the links to the new rules found on the government sites. Please note as you read them there is still an exemption for families who hire an individually privately. Please make sure you consult with your attorney as you utilize the services of caregivers in your home on how to best protect yourself and them when services are rendered.

Flatfingers, I think there's a problem with the implied premise of your post, which seems to say that there's something wrong and undesirable about a game whose subscription base comprises a plurality or majority of people who already play MMOs. It seems that you're saying such a game would be "less successful than it can or should be".
The reason I piped up on this was to try to provide some kind of logical foundation for designing and marketing a Star Trek MMORPG to more than just current MMO fans -- not because I think there's anything wrong with those folks, but because I think aiming too much at them risks losing potential revenue from other sources. For the record, I think it would be equally mistaken to aim Star Trek Online's design too much at Star Trek fans.
My belief is that there's a sweet spot for design somewhere between the standard list of general MMORPG features (whatever those are) and the standard list of iconic Star Trek features (whatever those are). By aiming ST:O's design and marketing not just at current MMORPG players, and not just at Star Trek fans, but at a mark in the general population that strongly includes both these subgroups, I think ST:O can be more successful than if it tries too hard to satisfy either of these groups.
WRT Star Trek's current popularity, I believe you may be underestimating the cachet that Trek retains among the general public. (And overestimating the importance of Star Trek: Enterprise's ratings.) Again, if it's truly so déclassé these days, why is CBS spending millions of dollars to make yet another Star Trek movie, even if in some adulterated J.J. Abrams version? Why would Perpetual or Cryptic or any other game development studio agree to make a Star Trek MMORPG if that bit of intellectual property is no longer considered to have enough fans to make attracting them seem financially worthwhile?
Furthermore, the people in high school and college when TNG started have now reached the point in their professional lives of having more disposable income, not less. That makes them prime candidates for trying a subscription-based online game.
The question of having less free time is a good one, but it cuts both ways -- if young professionals have less time for Star Trek Online, they have less time for WoW or EVE or any other online game as well. So Star Trek is not at any disadvantage there merely by being Star Trek.
Additionally, I see the time issue as a competitive opportunity for ST:O because its design is not yet (as far as I know!) set in stone, as is the case with games like WoW and SWG and EVE. If ST:O is not already being designed to accommodate the casual player with only 30 minutes to an hour or two to play each night, then there's still time to "make it so." And to do so would be a definite win: someone who pays a monthly subscription but plays only one or two hours a night is actually more valuable than a hardcore player because the casual player pays the same amount of money to use less bandwidth -- whoever makes Star Trek Online ought to want to design ST:O to appeal to casual players! Again, that's a good fit for the people who watched TNG as teenagers and young adults.
Finally, on the question of the general population of which MMO fans and Star Trek fans are a part:
Originally Posted by CINC-UFPForces-Cardassia:Concerning the difference between current MMO fans and the general public, I think my earlier point holds. A game about elves and orcs and magic -- which is exactly the kind of thing that most current MMOGs are about -- is not going to appeal to your MMOG-curious suburban golfer to the same degree that a relatively straightforward science fiction game can. Clarke's Law aside, a starship can be treated as just a really good car; replicators are just fancy microwave ovens; and so on. More people can relate to those things than to (for example) a spellcasting "14th-level Tauren shaman." Yes, a Star Trek game has aliens, but the technology-based setting is, I think, more plausible, more familiar to the average person, and therefore more acceptable as entertainment that people can admit to their friends that they enjoy.
With all of that said, I'm not actually certain what the ultimate difference is. I'm not really sure "general entertainment fans" are going to want something particularly different than what most MMO players want, and if they are, what? I consider myself a "latent Trek fan", and in all honesty, a "general entertainment fan", and I'm probably perceived to be more in line with "most MMO players" than not. Which is also to say, I find this argument to conflict somewhat with pleas on this board for Perpetual not to "dumb down" STO, or to appeal to the least common denominator.
As for "dumbing down" a Star Trek MMORPG, I suspect that when some gamers express a concern that Star Trek Online's developer will dumb it down, they're not talking about making the game more appealing to the general public -- they're worried that it will be simplified per the demands of the hardcore MMORPG players who want guaranteed wins through predictability. That said, there probably are some people who worry that features appealing to non-Trekkies will attract players who want the "wrong" kinds of things. To which I'd reply, hey, it's a massively multiplayer game -- everybody gives up some of what they want in order to get some of what they do want.
A game with some meaningful and thoughtful gameplay (in addition to the usual frenetic action and accumulation gameplay) is better than no game at all.
The point of all this is not to criticize what other people want -- I'm just not opposition-focused like that. All I'm trying to do here is think out loud a bit about what the best high-level target for designing and marketing Star Trek Online might be.
And what my gut tells me is that the real bullseye isn't just current MMORPG players, nor is it primarily Star Trek fans, nor is it the general public -- it's somewhere (I'm not pretending to know exactly where) in between those three overlapping groups. It'll have some features that feel familiar to your typical MMORPG player; it'll have some features that appeal primarily (or even exclusively) to the dedicated Star Trek fan; and it'll have some features that are acceptable to people who aren't currently MMORPG players or Star Trek fans. That game, I think, would tap into the biggest population of people who might play an online game based on Star Trek.
A reasonable counterargument to this is that such a game, by trying to appeal to too many people, would wind up not appealing enough to anyone. I think that's a fair criticism, but it would have more punch if it were backed up with its own answer to the question I've tried to address: If Star Trek Online shouldn't be designed and marketed to appeal roughly equally to MMORPG players, Star Trek fans, and the general public, then who should it be targeted to? And why?

Observation of Rydberg Blockade Induced by a Single Ion | Publication in PhysRevLett
Atomic giants meet single ions
Exploiting and controlling strong interactions between atomic constituents is one of the key aspects for implementing experimental quantum simulations. A prominent candidate are giant atoms, so-called Rydberg atoms, whose outermost electron is sent to large orbitals. These objects feature particular strong interactions as a result of which they cannot be created in pairs unless they keep a certain distance. This is known as the Rydberg blockade effect.
Now, an experimental IQST team at the University of Stuttgart has pushed this concept to its extreme and fully removed the electron of one of the two Rydberg atoms. For the first time, they were able to observe the interaction between the resulting single ion and the Rydberg atom. As a consequence of the strong pair-interaction, they found a qualitatively new type of blockade mechanism induced by the ion's electric field with a blockade sphere around the ion as large as tens of micrometers. Inside this sphere, the creation of the second Rydberg atoms is fully suppressed.
The observed interaction could provide new approaches to study or even control transport dynamics of single ionic impurities through quantum matter such as a Bose-Einstein condensate.

The quickest way to get fitter and stronger is to put in more training sessions; however, we cannot go into a training session while still recovering from the previous one. Putting too much stress on the body while it is needs to recover will push you in to over-training.
Here are a few tips to improve your recovery time between training sessions or especially after race.
- Post work out nutrition: Having a well-balanced protein or meal replacement shake after a training session is key to supplying your body with the vitamins and minerals lost during exercise and especially providing your body with the much needed protein to begin muscle repair.
- Stretching: After a training session or ride our muscles need to relax and our bodies need to return to our natural posture, while the muscles are still warm from exercise they are most flexible so the perfect time is right now. Stretching realigns muscle fibres thus aiding in recovery and also reduces the soreness the next day (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness).
- Ice bath: An ice bath after an intense session will decrease inflammation and flush out waste products in the muscle that was produced during exercise. As your cold limbs gradually warm up fresh blood is brought into the muscle to start the recovery process.
- Blueberries: Studies have shown that adding blueberries to your diet pre and post exercise will aid in the reduction of inflammation caused during exercise. Blend them into a smoothie with ice and yoghurt or add some to a salad.
- Massage: After a training session a massage can aid in removing waste from the muscles therefore reducing soreness the day after. A massage relaxes contracted muscles, increases blood circulation and increases range of motion. With the use of a foam roller you can do your own massage in the gym or in front of the TV for a few minutes every day.
- Active Recovery: Low intensity exercise after a race or intense training session will reduce the waste products in the body faster than just resting alone. It dramatically increases blood circulation to the recovering muscles which brings much need nutrients along with it.
After participating in an event where I truly push the limits in terms of distance or overall effort I like to do the following to kick start my recovery process. Hopefully some of this will benefit you too.
As I cross the finish line I immediately have my high protein meal or meal replacement shake followed by 15 min of stretching to relax those strained muscles. Once I arrive home I jump in and out of an ice bath for 10 – 15 min intervals with a few minutes between sessions, after gradually warming up I head to the kitchen to make a blueberry shake before relaxing and getting an early night.
Keep an eye out for our future posts on the ultimate recovery smoothie and ice bath do's and dont's.
What do you do to recover after strenuous training sessions or races?

Registering a game page on Playfield is very easy and takes maybe less than a minute! Why wouldn't you create yourself a game page / community with us when it is all free! If there is anything you would like to ask or just give a feedback, I am happy to answer to everyone! Have a great summer and best regards, Mirza Hasanzade Digital Marketing Shark Punch
It is hard to get your game n RPS though. How many people has been able to get on RPS without a lot of hard work. I mean yeah you need to put a lot of hard work into your game and marketing if you want to gain users. I persnally think that with a platform where people could sign up and register their game for others to see, that would help a lot smaller studios.

MirzaH posted a topic in Your AnnouncementsHey everyone! We are finally done with The Masterplan developing and it will be released in 15min! We are currently streaming and doing giveaways! Join us on twitch and lets have fun together! :) http://www.twitch.tv/indiemegabooth Thank youu!
Yeah paying youtubers to promote your game is not realistic if you are an indiedev without a lot of cash to spend on marketing. To be honest all promotion channels requires some sort of money or really epic game that goes viral. If you want your game to get viral on youtube, your game has to be funny or somehow entertaining. I mean yeah all games are entertaining but would people watch you play that game and enjoy the game as much as you do? Probably no. All big youtubers that have hundreds of thousands viewers are usually playing games that are funny like Goat Simulator or Prop hunt etc. Ever since I started using that web site (can't say name or it would be spamming), I've found some interesting games to play that I wouldn't usually find and it is surprising how many good games are not getting any recognition because they can't afford the marketing fees. With so many gaming companies competing over keywords and ad spots, it is almost impossible to get your money back that you put into advertising. This is why I personally have been using that website I previously mentioned for game discovery and advertising games that I personally know who made them. I wish the advertising fees would be lower so we could find out all those interesting games but I guess that is not happening... ever :D
Sure no problem! I just thought to mention to show that I'm not completely new to this thing. Since I've been struggling with this problem for a while now and would love to hear what others think about it
I find it hard to find new games
MirzaH posted a topic in Games Business and LawHey Gamedevs and Gamers! I decided to register on this forum page to find out if there are people struggling with the same problem that I am. What I personally have noticed is that, no matter when I go to Steam / Apple store I find same games over and over again. They keep recommending / showing me same games that they have shown for past 4-6 months. [LINK REMOVED] Here are a few things I want to find out about and would be glad if you could answer my questions So, if you are a gamer then how do you find out about cool indie games? Any favorite sites you use, or just word of mouth? What cool games have you discovered'? For me it takes a while until I find something that I enjoy playing. I have been stuck playing one game now for past 5 months because I can't find something that would make me want to play it. Also because it is not that easy to find a game that I would like. This is why I don't search for games that often but how often you search for new games? once a week, once a month or play games that are trending on media? I found the game that I am playing now for past 5 months from forum posts and it took me very long to find it. I was just daily trying out different games until I found something I liked. Do you easily find what you like or do you have to spend a lot of time to find it just liked for me. If you are a developer then how and where do you promote your game? It would be interesting to know how you guys do it and if it Is easy to increase your fanbase before launching or after release? I would appreciate if you could leave a comment and let me know your opinions of this topic and if there is anything you would like to add or discuss, I'd gladly participate in this conversation!

Lord, teach us to pray (Luke 11:1).
Another prayer strategy I use is 'imaginative prayer.' I thought I had invented imaginative prayer. Just goes to show how little I knew -- and know -- of prayer.
My use of the Rosary as a prayer tool initiated me to the practice. For readers unfamiliar with the Rosary, I posted links to information in my last Strategy blog to help explain its history and its use. You can follow these links here and here.
I do not use the Rosary as traditionally prayed, but modify it to better meet my prayer and worship needs. When I ask someone to pray for me, I usually tell them what I need prayer for. And so, I modify my petition on the 'Hail Mary' beads this way: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, please pray for (name of a person, or a situation). Amen. (For readers familiar with the Gospel of Luke, you might have recognized two portions of Scripture in the Hail Mary – Luke 1:28 and 1:42).
The Rosary also includes the recitation on the Apostles' Creed, the 'Our Father' (the Lord's Prayer) and the 'Glory Be'. By the time I'm through these sections of the Rosary, 20-30 minutes might have passed because I take time to reflect on specific words or phrases in those prayers. This is in addition to the half hour or so I spend reading Scripture and worshiping Jesus through music CDs. But I don't like to leave the Rosary without meditating on at least one of the Mysteries. For readers unfamiliar with the Mysteries, please follow this link.
It was during my meditation of the Mysteries that I stumbled on what I thought was my invention of 'imaginative prayer." I later discovered people have practiced imaginative prayer for centuries. St. Ignatius of Loyola wrote of that prayer method in the 15th century. When I searched the internet for other explanations of the practice I found many sites. Here is one link (click here).
As I meditate on one of the Mysteries of the Rosary, I focus on that particular time in Jesus' life. For example, one of the Mysteries has to do with His flogging. I imagine I am there, in the courtyard. I try to smell the dust swirling in the wind, to hear the mob's shouts behind me, to watch His mother crumble with grief as the soldier's whip slices Jesus' back. Click this link to read my essay resulting from such an imaginative moment. Another Mystery – the Resurrection – resulted in this essay.
Scripture is replete with stories and vignettes that easily lend themselves to imaginative prayer – yet another strategy to engage us more deeply into the art and practice of communion with God.
I'll post another of my strategies in a few days.

I found this earlier today - how relevant it is...
10 Simple Rules for dating my daughter
Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.
Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.
Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this
compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.
Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate: when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.
Rule Five: In order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."
Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.
Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?
Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter:
- Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than an Ogden stool.
- Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight.
- Places where there is darkness.
- Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness.
- Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka zipped up to her throat.
- Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which feature chainsaws are okay.
- Hockey games are okay.
- Old Folks Homes are better.
Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a pot-bellied, balding, middle-aged, dim-witted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.
Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy outside of Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you roll into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight.

A Brief History of Seven Killings won the Man Booker Prize, the American Book Award, and the Anisfield-Wolf Award for Fiction, and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. The Book of Night Women won the Minnesota Book Award and was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, as well as the NAACP Image Award. Marlon James is a professor at Macalester College in St. Paul. He divides his time between Minnesota and New York.
Fantasy fiction gets a shot of adrenaline * Newsday * One of the most fully, imaginatively realized fantasy universes ever. Our only question is: When does the next book come out? * Nylon * The most original novel I've read in years -- Irvine Welsh on 'A Brief History of Seven Killings' Vast and vastly ambitious... The author's imaginative and stylistic range are impressive * Sunday Times on 'A Brief History of Seven Killings' * Epic in every sense of that word: sweeping, mythic, over-the-top, colossal and dizzyingly complex... Violent, darkly comic, exhilarating and exhausting - a testament to James' vaulting ambition and prodigious talent * Michiko Kakutani, New York Times on 'A Brief History of Seven Killings' * Lyrically written and drawing from African history and mythology, Black Leopard, Red Wolf will be the book everyone is talking about. * PopSugar * A sprawling, epic fantasy... Fuses mythology, fantasy, and African history into a sensual, psychological triumph. * Esquire US * A miracle... If Charles R. Saunders' Imaro series opened the door to new ways of telling epic fantasy, and N.K. Jemisin's Inheritance trilogy leapt over the threshold, then Marlon James' Black Leopard, Red Wolf just ripped the whole damn door off its hinges. * Tor * The novel teems with nightmares: devils, witches, giants, shape-shifters, haunted woods, magic portals. It's terrifying, sensual, hard to follow-but somehow indelible, too. * Vogue US * James has created a novel and a world that is both fresh and beautifully realized and written...I loved it. * Jeff Vandermeer, LA Times * Has the same ambition and dizzying array of voices as its predecessor - a sprawling fantasy novel set in a dark age Africa of witches, spirits, dazzling imperial citadels and impenetrable forests...it feels new and exciting. * Hari Kunzru, Wall Street Journal * He not only brings a fresh multicultural perspective to a grand fantasy subgenre, but also broadens the genre's psychological and metaphysical possibilities. If this first volume is any indication, James' trilogy could become one of the most talked-about and influential adventure epics since George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire was transformed into Game of Thrones. * Kirkus * Marlon James's writing can be at once punchy and lyrical; can alternate strange, dreamy poetry with visceral action; and can bring persuasive life to a kaleidoscopic range of characters...Extraordinary... A writer whose importance can scarcely be questioned * Independent * This book begins like a fever dream and merges into world upon world of deadly fairy tales rich with political magic. Black Leopard, Red Wolf is a fabulous cascade of storytelling. Sink right in. I guarantee you will be swept downstream * Louise Erdrich * '...an African fantasy landscape that rivals the greatest sword-and-sorcery storytellers in the history of the genre... Black Leopard, Red Wolf heralds the arrival of one of fantasy's next great sagas and reaffirms James as one of the greatest storytellers of his generation. * BookPage * 'Stand aside, Beowolf. There's a new epic hero slashing his way into our hearts, and we may never get the blood off our hands. James is clear-cutting space for a whole new kingdom. Black Leopard, Red Wolf...rises up from the mists of time, glistening like viscera. James has spun an African fantasy as vibrant, complex and haunting as any Western mythology, and nobody who survives reading this book will ever forget it. * Washington Post * Marlon James possesses almost frightening levels of talent. The arc of his career has barely begun, but he has already shot past the best of what other writers could ever hope for. His work is wholly original while paying homage to all the important literary ancestors. . . Black Leopard, Red Wolf holds the promise of being an archetypal epic for the 21st century. * Forbes *

bill-swift - July 23, 2014
It remains to be seen whether the Michael Bay-produced, Jonathan Liebesman-directed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot is any good. Personally I have my doubts, but I'm trying to keep an open mind.
One thing we know for sure right now, though, is that the new flick will carry on the tradition of having a really terrible original rap song on the soundtrack.
Now obviously, it's not easy to follow in the footsteps of a rap legend like Vanilla Ice, who changed popular music forever when he recorded "Ninja Rap 2" for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II back in 1991. However, Juicy J, Wiz Khalifa, and Ty Dolla $ign were brave enough to take a stab at it. And while the chorus "Knock, Knock, You About to Get Shell-Shocked" doesn't roll of the tongue as smoothly as "Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go," it's still pretty fantastic.
Don't take my word for it, though. Have a listen to the new song above. Then, after you've let the knew one sink in a bit, compare it to Ice's 1991 classic below.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot hits theaters August 8, 2014.

- If dress is bargain priced, buy two. Extra fabric can be used to modify dress.
- It's easy to add wide straps or sleeves to strapless gowns
- Fill plunging necklines and high slits with contrasting or matching lace or extra fabric
- Hem long dresses and use excess fabric to modify dress
- Ask store if leftover fabric is available for use to modify
- Layers are in! Use a simple or lace under-tee to cover shoulders, chest or midriff
- Lengthen skirts by adding a wide lace or fabric trim to the hem or layer a matching slip

It's your nature: Turtles in the region
A wood turtle is more terrestrial than today's highlighted turtles. Note the flatter shell. BARRY REED/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS
The snapping turtle (snapper) can attain a weight of more than 30 pounds and leaves the water only to lay its eggs. Note the ridged (dragonlike) tail.
The stinkpot turtle has a higher-domed and rather unremarkable shell. Very shy, I couldn't get it to stick its head out at all.
The Times News area has more species of turtles than you probably expect. They include the painted, box, snapping, stinkpot, spotted, wood and map turtles. They range in size from snapping turtles with a shell over a foot in length and about 30 pounds, to the stinkpot turtle with a shell only 3 to 4 inches. How about a little information on a few of these?
The stinkpot turtle is more common than you realize. True to its name, it is a type of musk turtle secreting a foul-smelling liquid from under its carapace (top shell) when it feels threatened. Seldom seen, it habituates shallow, slow-moving streams or sluggish river edges or shallow, mucky ponds. They seldom leave the water, but when it needs to warm up, it moves to a shallow edge of the water where its unusually high-domed shell remains exposed to the warming spring sun.
The ones I have observed have all been covered by the pond muck where they live. Supposedly they can climb tree trunks that slope out of their watery home and are the best tree climbing Pennsylvania turtles.
The spotted turtle is actually quite pretty with a black glossy shell speckled with yellow spots. The number of yellow spots (dots) is variable among different specimens. I have found them only in East Penn Township where springs have formed rather clear, shallow pools next to the abandoned railroad beds there. I've seen them basking in the sun on some grass clumps on cooler spring days. They are a bit larger than the stinkpot and like all other Pennsylvania turtles, find a south-facing gravelly area (sometimes the cinder railroad beds themselves), to lay their few eggs.
The snapping turtle (snapper) is the largest state turtle. They spend almost all of their lives in ponds, lakes, canals or slow-flowing streams. They appear very menacing if they are "cornered" on land, and please give them plenty of space with their very sharp, powerful jaws. Keep your fingers as far from their mouths as possible. They have proportionally the longest tails (almost dragonlike) of any of our turtles.
Their bottom shell (plastron) is rather small compared to the top and their neck can extend quite a distance to snatch its prey. They will scavenge and eat dead animals as well as frogs, fish, tadpoles and some birds. Ducks and geese may lose some of their brood when a snapper sneaks under them as it walks cautiously on the pond bottom waiting for the opportunity to pull one under. I did watch one feeding on some leaves hanging just above a pond's surface.
My father would find one or two days each summer to take me along to one of the smaller Pocono lakes to bass fish. He fished almost entirely with live minnows. I believe at least one time on each trip he hooked into a snapper. We would regularly see their heads slowly rise to the water surface to breathe, much like a periscope rising from a submarine. If exploring near one of these bodies of water, keep an eye out for their characteristic head rising just above the surface.
Remember that most species of turtles live in or mostly in water. Only the wood turtle and box turtle in our area spend most of their lives on land.
Test your outdoor knowledge: The last few weeks you may have noticed 1- or 2-inch conical holes dug in your well-kept lawns. _____ are the nocturnal culprits. A. moles, B. raccoons, C. skunk, D. groundhogs.
Last week's trivia question answer: The peregrine falcon is one wildlife success story. Now getting complete protection, it nests at many locations, especially tall city building ledges, close to an abundant supply of pigeons and other "city birds."

Community Trust have worked with over 4,000 children and have mentored 120 teachers as part Premier League Primary Stars.
- Nick Powell and Nathan Byrne visited Orrell Holgate Primary School.
- Session was part of the Premier League Primary Stars programme.
- Community Trust have worked with over 4,000 primary school children.
Nick Powell and Nathan Byrne helped to develop the skills and techniques of over 25 pupils at Orrell Holgate Primary School this afternoon.
The visit was part of the Premier League Primary Stars programme, a scheme that uses the appeal of Wigan Athletic Football Club to inspire children to learn, be active and develop important life skills, saw the pair take part in a number of different football drills with children in Year 6.
Wigan Athletic Community Trust have worked with over 4,000 primary school children across the borough and have mentored 120 teachers in PE since the launch of Primary Stars.
Nick said: "To see the kids enjoying football for what football is actually all about was really good to see. Even though it was freezing cold they were all running around and having a laugh, and it was great that there were lots of girls involved too which shows there's interest at such a young age."
Primary Stars has proven beneficial for the school's PE Lead Chris Van Geffen who has been upskilled in the subject by the Community Trust's coaches over the past 18 months.
He said: "I owe a great deal to the Trust and in particular to Gareth Shaw as he's helped me to become the coach I am today. I've developed my teaching skills so much and I feel a lot more confident in my delivery of PE having had the opportunity to work with him.
Adding: "The visit was fantastic and the pupils will remember it for a very long time. Nick and Nathan are obviously two of the team's star players so to have them come along to Orrell Holgate for the afternoon was an honour and we thank them for their time."
