The Triconomicon BETA1
by wavedash
Howdy folks. I'm wavedash and I'm primarily a Trico player, although I admit to some hilarious games with Raon/Grub -- that's beside the point! As many of you know, there's a Trico guide out there by a certain individual who dubs himself "mauvecow". mauvecow's guide outlines the majority of what you need to know when dealing with how to play Trico SO READ IT FIRST, but I will profess that his guide is rather outdated in certain aspects (given the various nerfs and borks to certain mobiles and power boosts to others), so it does end up changing the landscape of the game to a moderate degree.
In light of this, I will attempt to discuss the basic necessities of Trico play, such as key landmarks -- NOT overall formulas to Trico rotation. You can find neat little things like windcharts and shotcharts on GBGL-HQ or Creedo's site. However, due to popular request, I will post a mini-walkthrough on adjusting shots for elevation and distance differences.
Trico Base Stats:
Total HP: 1050~1100
Mobile Type: Bionic
Shot Type: Explosive
Attack: Very High
Defense: Poor (It says high on the GB official stats... PFFFTT)
Movement: Average
Climbing: Poor
Shot Weight: Very Heavy
Delay Addition (increments by second): +10
- High damage when done properly
- Good bunge potential
- Great delay especially considering damage
- All three shots are extremely useful/versatile
- Great all-around bot
- Vegetables are good for you
- Automatic props for mobile difficulty and additional props for being able to hit your shots right
- Low defense
- Frequently difficult to properly adjust shot
- Right shooting is poor in melee/mid-range
- Extremely difficult to master
- Takes handicap damage while lacking the ability to deal handicap damage
Shot Assessments:
!! Notes to consider: First, all the shots weigh the same so you can switch between them without having to adjust. Second, angle width and position is the same for all shots, with a minor exception to the lack of non-true angle while in SS mode. This being said, it's a good habit to toggle into SS, go to the max/min of SS, and then toggle back over to shot 1 or shot 2 to know your boundaries of what's true and what's not. !!
Shot 1
Base Delay: 740
Max Damage: 190
Commentary: Single cabbage shot. Great delay and decent bunge; paired with shovels or in BigBomb you have a bunging force to be reckoned with. Using strategically placed shot 1's can provide ample delay or serve as test shots for your shot 2s.
Shot 2
Base Delay: 880
Max Damage: 280~320
Commentary: The most powerful overall shot in the game outside of Knight or Dragon, you can generally deal 300 damage with a perfect/nigh-perfect shot.
Interestingly enough if you haven't thought about it before, this shot is also the most versatile of the game. Whereas it's frequently touted for its damage capabilities, shot 2 is extremely underestimated in its bunge capability, i.e. dropping opponents in holes. I've dropped opponents in holes as deep as an SS and wide as a Cake2 or set up bunges on Adiumroot in one pass. Alternately, it's easier to DK in melee positions if you can maximize damage from a flat shot. Come up with neat uses for your own, because there are a lot of possibilities in application.
Rotation landmarks are as follows...
Lefty Loosey: 1, 2.15, 3.2
Righty Tighty: 1.6, 2.65, 3.55
Since all the other guides and landmarks have posted shot ratios, formulas, charts, and other goodies, I'll leave that alone since you don't need to waste time looking at the same info time and time again.
On popular demand, I have been asked to discuss adjusting shots by elevation. I'll say right off the bat that I am absolutely miserable with formulas, so if someone wants to work with me on devising a formula for this based off what I'm about to describe, please contact me! I am entirely a feel player, so formula users won't get too much out of me if you want a fixed formula you can apply and calculate.
Anyways, in dealing with elevation changes you have to remember one key thing -- AIRTIME IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN TRICO'S SHOT 2. To clarify in relation to elevation change, you want to allow for either more airtime regardless of higher or lower. However, note that IF OPPONENT ELEVATION = LOWER, POWER = LOWER. Likewise for a higher elevation. If you're good with understanding rotation timing, then this should make a lot of sense to you, if not then I shall explain further. Normally a R1.6 shot at whatever will hit optimal rotation at a center line parallel to the center of Trico, yes? But consider when your opponent is lower than you, if you were to fire the same shot then not only would the shot overrotate, but possibly fly well over their head. I have an unconscious rule of thumb that says ~.5 bar for each inch of elevation difference, and then adjust accordingly to wind and distance. Additionally, remember here that Power = 90% of Trico distance shooting and Angle is the remaining 10% of Trico distance shooting when taking rotation into account. So with all this taken into account, an example: the distance from the top-right-most island to the next-down right island in Nirvana B would demand that I shoot from roughly 3/4 from the right of the island at about .9 power (this is all mental imagery here, so don't be surprised if I'm off, but this is just to narrate the gist of the idea).
Trico backshotting falls under roughly the same concept. Please please bear in mind that you have to have very strong wind for any sort of backshot to occur. Backshotting is simply a real test of how strong your understanding of Trico rotation WITHOUT FORMULA. This being said, if you understand the concepts behind adapting landmarks and adapting elevation (in addition to wind, of course), backshotting will come easier to you the more proficient you are. I personally test shot 1s as I do not know the distance needed. Also, a 90 degree angle upwards will always shoot as if right shooting (sigh).
Base Delay: 1290
Max Damage: ~650
Commentary: Similarly to the shot 2, Trico's SS is quite versatile (although to a lesser degree, since you only have one projectile here). A large blast radius means that you can bunge efficiently with the SS without worry, and depending on the mobile and shot, you can eke out high damages if done correctly.
Many players feel that for the most part, the damage from the Trico SS is entirely random. I, on the other hand, have a very different opinion.
The total diameter of the circle of SS is roughly 1.25~1.5 times Trico's length -- it's common fare to see SS explosions bunge a good half an inch of land with room to spare. Yet when it comes to damage, it seems like there is little you can do to determine the outcome. What I believe happens is that the the total circumference of the SS is divided up into 6 equal portions. Of these six portions, two or three explosions occur in random order and random spots in each of the sections for the duration of the SS, each mini-explosion roughly the size of Trico's head. This would account for the mostly even spread when a neutral SS is fired into the ground, and also why Dragons take so much damage from SSs. Notably, this would also account for why my Trico SSes have never been below 400 damage when morphed from Nak SSs. I am sure that there is some variable defining the placement and order of explosions, but I can't quite pinpoint what it is. Perhaps total HP?
Match-Up Evaluation and Strategies:
Aduka: TO BE DISCUSSED LATER
Armor: Ow ow ow ow. I say that this is Trico's second worst matchup as at melee Armor is just able to take all the abuse that Trico can dish out and return it equally with devastating results. At a distance you need to worry about the 500~600 damage SS on top of the high power shot 2s. On a melee basis, this one goes easily to Armor but at a distance Trico can take it if you mess with angles and outdelay consistently.
A.Sate: TO BE DISCUSSED LATER
Boomer: This is actually a lot easier than most people think it is. Low HP and low defense means that if you can pace yourself faster than them, you win no matter what distance. Consistent hits and mess with their true angle and the day is yours. I think the best thing about this matchup is that in non-null wind battles, Trico needs very minimal adjustment as opposed to a complete reassessment of the shot on Boomer's part. Trico has the advantage here, I think.
Bigfoot: I feel that this is Trico's worst matchup out there, and if you disagree with me, I'm inclined to tell you why. At melee, Bigfoots will take immediate and immense damage from Trico's firepower, but Tricos will inevitably be dropped in a hole or take long-term similar damages from TehJeep's shot 1s, which still have a good ~80 delay less than Trico's shot 2(200~250). At long distances Trico may have
the upper hand with accuracy, but that's really not gonna matter because Bigfoots ALWAYS make your shots next to impossible to accurately calculate on a continuous basis. If you're proficient at calculating formulas quickly or being able to adjust your shot adequately, then you can take this, but to be anything less than talented at figuring out Trico shots on refreshed basis means this is your worst nightmare. Damage-wise this isn't as bad as Armor or Nak, but the situations a Bigfoot can put you in are simply stupid.
BIGFOOT2: I very briefly played GBWC and so I will write a brief guideline on what I think about this matchup -- if you can melee or stay midrange, you have this one rather easily. If you're lobbing, screw with his angle. The problem with the H2 is that the erratic flying nature of the split shot can provide interesting sniping matches, but is ultimately not as consistent as an effective Trico player. I'm sure once softnyx tweaks it a bit more it'll become a more effective bot, but I feel Trico has a pretty good advantage over this bot.
Dragon: I'm not surprised that a Triceratops would be armed with the firepower to take out his Dragon/T.Rex buddy, but you know, whatever. I'm pretty damn sure that if you manage your delay properly that you'll be able to kill a Dragon before it kills you, as I've done it myself a number of times. Melee is a difficult if not impossible proposition, but mid-range to long-range is Trico's game. Be smart and
teleport away if you like teleports, or heal anytime you hit 75%. Dual 2 or SS if a Thor comes around, because you're dead otherwise, but this one is a toss-up to your skill as a player against his.
FROG: Oi. Think Grub but good. I didn't get too much exposure to Froggy but I'm sure that careless Trico players will find themselves continually eating snotballs, considering that you want to be on an incline to make your angled shots. Play it safe and run for cliffs when you get the chance.
Grub: Stay out of holes, maintain your angle, watch for lightnings, and never EVER sit in the middle of a tornado at melee. Other than that, this match should be pretty easy considering Grub has a significant lack of firepower.
Ice: This one's a toughie, but doable. Melee will leave you hurting bad and probably dead, as Ice's delay is decent, but shove cabbages directly in their face for perfect damage and they might as well throwing stones at you. If you do it right, you can be DONE with them by your third turn, but you'll usually have to drag it out to four shots total given Ice's ridiculous HP. Lobbing is the same story as long as you don't get caught by frantic windchanges. Pack heals and windchanges.
JD: Not much to worry about here, Cake has stupidly low HP and just as much defense with an equally funny attack power. Shot 2 isn't even as much of a problem as you think it'd be because for him to hole you properly means that he has to risk a dual or you stay stationary (which is unlikely since you will probably want to adjust your angle after being dragged around). Holing you will take far too long for a mobile that gets creamed faster than any other mobile. This one's in the bag.
Knight: Knight's delay is so high (AT LEAST as high as Armor's at base, and probably even more) that if you play smart this shouldn't be a difficult fight. Knights have ridiculous angle but slightly off-kilter tracer hits, so capitalize on tempo and keep your angle.
Lightning: With the recent expansion of Lovebot's angle, this went from a reasonably difficult fight to an incredibly difficult fight. Precise Lightning users can deal stupid amounts of damage while screwing your angle over all in one turn. Lovebot players will drop you into holes that give you miserable angle and when you finally think you can hide behind an overhang, they SS you and completely screw your shot. The key here is to simply power your way through the match and just do as much damage as Tricoly possible. Be reminded/warned that this is a shield bot, so with every miss you fall behind that much more than they do, so control the tempo of the match by whacking them with whatever you can as outdelaying them is next to impossible. If you can melee, this fight is easily in your favor, but if it's a sniping battle then be prepared to fight for as much HP you can eke out of them. Keep an eye on your health and delay, and drop an SS on them if you think it'll create an overhang they can't do anything about except fire through (which wastes their turn).
Mage: Be careful in melee, since Mage Dual-2s do stupid amounts of damage to you, but a long-distance game favors you because of the twirling nature of the Mage shot 2. To quote mauve, "What's he gonna do? SS your Trico shield?"
Nak: This is going to be a really difficult time for any Trico player. Melee makes the Trico cry, albeit there's a little trick to making perfect shot 2s on you difficult. If you can still manage a true angle shot, face towards the Nak while on a downward slope. The likelihood of it snapping you smackdab in the middle with all its might isn't as likely as before, but you'll still be hit for high damage. At a distance, create a little mountain to hide behind if you can spare a turn or two. This'll mess with the Nak's shot and hopefully provide more cover to you in the long run. Otherwise, handle a Nak much as you would an Armor.
Raon: TO BE DISCUSSED LATER
Turtle: This is a tough match for Trico. With melee power and distance shooting almost as powerful and defense tougher than Trico's, expect this to be a war of delay and angle. The winner of this one is situational, but usually whoever's got the better damage-delay ratio will take it. It should really be a no-brainer that any turtle who's allowed to high angle really needs his angle fixed.
Trico: Trico duels usually end up being these stupid little wars of who can deal the most damage first, and this really shouldn't be the entire deal. Your weaknesses are his weaknesses; I've won a lot of Trico duels by dropping shot 1s on them to flatten out their land and gain a delay advantage while they're still trying to compensate with shot 2's. Capitalize on gaps in your opponent's play style and this one will go to you, even if you're both shooting consistently.

12% quota for Muslims Telangana, Govt to introduce a Bill in Budget Session
Bill providing 12% reservations to Muslims in the state of Telangana will be introduced in the budget session of the Legislative Assembly. Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao said "The reservations are being proposed based on the socio-economic conditions of Muslims in the state and not on the basis of religion." He also said that he would request the Centre to include the proposed reservation in the 9th Schedule of the Constitution.
TRS government had increased the budget to Rs 1200 crore for minority welfare which is being used in setting up residential schools, colleges, overseas scholarship schemes and Shaadi Mubarak scheme.In Telangana 8934 imams and mauzams are being given Rs 1000 monthly honorarium. A grant of Rs 53 crore was given for renovation, repair and construction of wakf institutions, an increase from the practice of earmarking just Rs 4 to Rs 5 crore in the past. The government also gave permission to 11 wakf lands to be leased out for construction and generate revenue of about Rs 60 to Rs 70 crore a year.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, in a statement, informed the Assembly about these measures taken by the state government for the welfare of the minorities.
Owaisi's political outfit MIM has welcomed this move but its floor leader in the assembly Akbaruddin Owaisi asked the government to extend the benefits of Dalit Christians to Dalit Muslims too. He also asked the state government to ask the Centre to conduct NEET examination for medical courses in Urdu medium. The MIM leader asked the government to construct an Islamic Study Centre at Madhapur, where over an acre of land is available.
This move is being opposed by BJP. Its MLA G Kishan Reddy said that it will leads to mass conversions and disturb communal harmony. He also said government cannot propose 12% reservations to Muslims as the High Court has struck down the four percent reservations for Muslims and the case is now pending with the Supreme Court for hearing.

Luck can be measured in many ways. For some, it is measured in the amount of money they got on their bank account. Or by whether they are married or not. Whether they have children or not, or by if they had a happy childhood with good parents or not.
But luck can be so many things; it's all a matter of having the right focus and the right perspective. I've made some statements about luck, and you cn check and see how they resonate with your own life, and you may see your life in a new lucky perspective.
I am lucky because I have water from the tap, and I don't have to walk miles to get water and carry it all the way home, and boil it before I'm able to drink it.
I am lucky because I have food in the fridge to eat, and I don't have to starve every day and go through trash cans to get something to eat.
I am lucky because I have at least one person who loves me and cares for me. Whether it is a mother, father, grandparent, friend, a sibling, a uncle, aunt, cousin or a colleague, neighbor. I'm very lucky if I have more than one person that cares about me and that I can talk to.
I am lucky because I have eyes to see, ears to hear, a mouth to speak with, legs to walk with and a body to move.
I am lucky because I have a roof over my head, and a bed to sleep in.
I am lucky because I have access to technology like computer, internet, television and phone.
I am lucky because I have God The Most High by my side, giving me strength, helping me grow, guiding me towards the right path. Forgiving me for my sins and giving me mercy and grace even though I've sinned against Him and don't deserve it.
It's all about having the right perspective. Instead of being mad because you have to stay in traffic on your way home from work, be happy that you have a car at all.
Instead of being mad because you don't have a car and have to walk or use public transportation, be happy that you have public transportation and are able to walk and that you have shoes to wear.
If you have to walk barefoot, be grateful for that you have legs to walk with.
No matter what your situation is the KEY is to be grateful no matter what, and magically you'll start to see an increase in the things you feel you lack.
If you focus on what you have, you will have more. And if you focus on what you lack, you will lack more. You'll attract what you focus on.
So keep your focus right and your perspective on the positive things in your life.
Always Be Grateful.

The History barging in Indonesia began a long time. Start from bamboo rafts (getek), canoe, boat, until a boat that uses engine power. Transport through the river system is one of the forms of transportation used to transport by inland waterways. River can be used as a means to deliver timber-harvested timber to the shelter. Transport by rivers has the advantage because relatively cheap, yet their use on the wane, especially in areas that have been built roads and bridges.

The Students Couldn't See a Yearbook: A Mercer Professor Came Up with a Solution
June 14, 2018
Source: The Telegraph, Georgia
Students with visual impairments generally don't look forward to getting an annual class yearbook.
But thanks to an engineering professor at Mercer University, this staple of the high school experience is available at the Georgia Academy for the Blind in Macon.
Last month, Sinjae Hyun presented seven graduating seniors with their first 3D yearbook.
"They're familiar with a yearbook, pictures which many of them cannot see. We tell them what's there. They're familiar with their siblings, their friends, getting their yearbook. They know that as a rite of passage for high school students," said Cindy Gibson, the superintendent of Georgia Academy for the Blind.
"But they have not experienced it. This is the next level of accessibility for our students."
The yearbook consists of a board with plastic 3D printings of the students' faces screwed onto it. When students touch the braille nameplates pasted beneath each printed face, blind classmates recognize each other.
The project took a little more than 150 combined hours over three months to complete, Hyun said.

Grading Group Restricted Discussion Topics
This article will go over how to assess group restricted topics when they're tied to a single grade item.
Some context:
The way that D2L records grades is one-to-one, so one grade item can only be tied to one activity at a time. This becomes an issue with group restricted discussion topics because once Group 1 is tied to Discussion 1 grade item it will become unavailable as an option for Group 2.
Once you create a forum that has group restricted topics, and students post to them, you can now assess their work by doing the following:
Step 1: Edit the topic for Group 1:
Step 2: Click on the Assessment tab (1), and then from the grade item drop down menu select the grade item (2):
Step 3: Put the score out of within the entry field:
Step 4: Click "Save and Close"
Step 5: Now that you've tied the topic to the grade item you can Assess the topic.
Step 6: Utilizing the filters might help manage the amount of students you must filter through so Viewing by Groups rather than Users is another trick (1 & 2). If you change the filtering you must also click apply so that your page reflects the updates from the selected menu (3).
Step 7: Next, click on the student who's post you'd like to assess (4):
Step 8: This is where you input the topic score (1), and any feedback that will appear in the Grades tool (2). You can also publish from this screen (3). If you do not want to publish the score and feedback immediately do not check the box. When you're finished click "Save and Close":
Step 9: This box will appear asking you to confirm that you want this feedback to appear in the grades tool; click "Overwrite":
Step 10: Here's what it will look like with published feedback/topic score:
Do this for each student in the group, and then you'll have to do a few more things to assess the next group restricted topic.

Canned Goods: What You May Not Know
I think it's safe to assume that we've all heard about how unhealthy canned foods are due to being over-processed and high in sodium. But is that the only thing we have to be cautious about?
Unfortunately, it's not.
If you read the ingredient list on a can of soup, you're likely to see items like carrots, wild rice, perhaps some noodles. What you won't see listed: the industrial chemical BPA, or bisphenol A.
BPA is found in some plastic bottles and in the epoxy resins used to coat the inside of many food and beverage cans. Previous studies have shown that some BPA from can linings does get into the foods they hold.
You Have To See: 7 Foods Farmers Won't Even Eat
Some scientists are concerned about BPA exposure because the chemical can act like the hormone estrogen, and studies show that high levels can affect sexual development in animals.
The Food and Drug Administration will soon decide what it considers a safe level of exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA), which some studies have linked to reproductive abnormalities and a heightened risk of breast and prostate cancers, diabetes, and heart disease.
The good news is that some companies are wising up to these findings. Recently, the traditionally family-friendly Campbell's Soup brand began to attract attention from moms for all the wrong reasons: A report released by advocacy group Breast Cancer Fund found the company's soup to have some of the highest BPA levels among a variety of canned foods it tested. Anticipating not only a potential FDA change on BPA, but also continued consumer backlash, Campbell's announced today its plan to phase out the use of the chemical in its can linings.
So what do you do about keeping safe from BPA? Aside from avoiding canned goods all together (this includes food and drink), here are a few tips on how to stay safe:
- Drink tap water or rely on BPA-free stainless steel water bottles (from companies like Nalgene or Sigg) instead of slugging down bottled water. Difficulty Rating: Easy
- Instead of eating microwavable meals that come out of plastic containers, eat only freshly-prepared, organic foods. Difficulty Rating: Moderate
- Instead of using plastic utensils, rely on the longer-lasting variety. Difficulty Rating: Easy
- To be safe, avoid all canned foods and replace with non-canned variations (replace canned soup with soup in a carton, for example) unless cans denote that they have a BPA-free lining. If that's not possible, avoid these specific canned foods, which are known to be high in BPA: coconut milk, soup, meat, vegetables, meals, juice, fish, beans, meal-replacement drinks, and fruit (yes, we realize that encompasses most canned foods). Take special care to avoid foods that are acidic, salty, or fatty. Difficulty Rating: Hard
- Steer clear of plastic storage containers for leftover food. Instead, use glass containers along with BPA-free plastic lids. The food should not touch the lids. Difficulty Rating: Easy

HTO Flail
I've been lucky. In a relatively short space of time I've clocked-up over 400 Perch captures on HTO lures alone - all detailed and logged. I've hardly been systematic in my approach to lure testing though. To be frank, I've spent most time trying to replicate the rigs that have done me well thus far. Why reinvent the wheel?

Account manager And Scammers Of Social bookmarking Sites
As soon as you make contact with an interesting woman internet, you want to keep the communication going. Some people have a hard time knowing what to say and how to make sure that the exchanges remain interesting.
Take another example: If you find out from her profile which usually she is a vegetarian, you might like to wait a bit before you tell her how much you like your meat cooked rare.
The main purpose is to find a common desire or something that you both can easily agree upon. This could be any variety of interest, cars, exercise, home, school, the list may possibly go on forever. From there you just need to keep corresponding with her, with the purpose of keeping the affinity high between the two of you.
There are usually ways to turn your massive doubts into an equivalent impression that is positive. For example, rather than expressing how much you never like and are frustrated by cheaters, and also how angry you would be if perhaps someone cheated on you, speak with her about all the positive points of having a trustworthy relationship.
Make it easy for her to reply. After you construct your message, read the idea again and make sure it will be easy for her to reply to you. To do this, add a variety of questions that will encourage her to write back.
For example, if you are a user, you might want to wait a bit before you talk to her about it. Some women are turned off simply by smokers. If you tell her before you have found a few interests or similarities between the two of you, she might not desire to pursue things additionally. However, if you communicate with the girl's and she begins to help you like you, then she may well not mind and may keep dealing with you even when she discovers you are a smoker.
Women always talk about whatever is their passion. If you can pinpoint everything that she really likes and question her about it, she will be more than happy to retain exchanging emails with you and telling you what she feels.
Be positive. Massive doubts turns women off, also if you have just begun getting together with her. When you first start speaking, you want to be positive. For example, don't start to tell her just how much you hate cheaters, smokers, or people who are not timely. Even if she agrees, the girl might not like the negative frame of mind you take when articulating your opinion.
That does not mean that your thoughts cannot differ from hers, although as you begin getting to know the woman's, you want to keep the attraction concerning you as positive as is possible. One way to do this is to preserve talking about opinions that this lady can agree with.
The purpose when you begin to communicate with a lady online is to create a great attraction. You want her to make sure you like you, and you also want to make sure you like her.
Express opinions that you both can agree with. When you begin to switch messages with a woman, it is not necessarily a good idea to express opinions you know she might not agree with. As she does not know most people yet, she might that you a little less for it and may also not feel as solid a connection with you. For this reason, this lady might not reply to your information.
If you have the same interests, it's even better. Then you can tell her your own thoughts. At the time, you've got two people exchanging ideas about something they the two like, which certainly will useful conversation going and also increases the affinity between the two of you.
Go through her profile. Get a feel for who she is, the things she likes, what your lady does not like. Try to find an issue you have in common with the woman's or something about her that interests you and makes you curious.

Fine Gael TD for Kildare North, Anthony Lawlor, strongly backs a Yes vote for the referendum on the Stability Treaty on 31st May. Fine Gael formerly launched its campaign today (Tuesday 1st May) with An Taoiseach Enda Kenny stating that a Yes vote in the Stability Treaty Referendum will send a strong signal to companies that Ireland is the right country in which to invest.
"More than ever Ireland needs certainty and to know that the future will be brighter. I strongly believe that a Yes vote will ensure Ireland's path to recovery. Investor confidence in Ireland is key to our economic prosperity and in recent months we have had a number of large multinationals, including Paypal, Amgen, Microsoft, make huge investment in our country creating hundreds of jobs. These companies have done so because they consider Ireland to be at the heart of the Eurozone with a stable currency. Ireland's reputation as a place in which to do business is once again growing and a Yes vote will add further to this international opinion. A Yes vote will indicate our commitment to the EU project and fiscal cooperation with other Member States.
"It is imperative that each and every voter informs themselves about the facts of this Treaty. That is why the Government is running the most comprehensive information campaign for an EU referendum ever held in this country. A copy of the Treaty accompanied with an information booklet is currently being delivered to every home in the state, and a dedicated website has been established (www.stabilitytreaty.ie) to deal with any questions that may arise.
"I urge you to access this information and to make an informed decision on 31st May. It is also important to have a high voter turnout and people have until tomorrow, 2nd May, to apply for a postal vote, and Monday 14th May to be included on the supplementary register. This referendum is about your future and I believe a Yes vote will once again create a stable and confident Irish economy" concluded Anthony Lawlor TD,

Gilraen:Giver of Hope - Chapter 25
Gilraen ran down the path not knowing what to say but she knew she had to get there soon. Nothing had ever felt more urgent than the way she felt at this moment. She finally had made up her mind to put aside all her fears and give her heart to Raion and the feeling was very freeing to her. She did not want to waste another second staying away from him.
She got up to his door and quieted her rapid heartbeat. When she felt under control, she knocked on the door. Immediately her nerves took over and she started to tremble. Raion opened the door and she started to cry.
"Gilraen what is the matter? Is Estel ok? Why are you here?"
His questions came but she did not have the ability to answer them; because she could not make her words make sense. Everything was falling apart for her. Raion had to invite her in and make her sit down. He got her a cup of hot tea. When he came back with the tea, she sipped it as she made her mind think clearly. He started rubbing her arm and all her calmness went out the window causing new tears to flow. He immediately took her in his arms and spoke soothing word that he hoped would help.
"Its ok Gilraen, I am here. Cry it all out."
"You don't understand," she blurted out as her tears started to subside.
"No I suppose I don't. Maybe you can tell me."
"You are so kind and I broke your heart."
"I have never stopped caring for you."
"I have not either. I have tried so hard. I wanted to know that I was right in denying my feelings, but after 3 years of trying to deny it I see that I never will be able to prove myself right. I love you, Raion. I never stopped loving you. You have been in my thoughts from the time I left you on the bench. I have never sat in that bench since that night. Elrond tried to tell me it was ok, but somehow I could not believe him. Estel has never felt right asking to come see Serme because he was afraid of hurting my feelings. I don't know what why I listened this time, but Bilbo came and talked to me tonight. He told me sometimes you have to listen to your heart and not your head. I am so tired of running from my feelings. I need to tell you exactly how I feel. I need my heart to be free. I love you, Raion. I love you more than anything in this world. I lo..."
She never got the rest out. Raion took her face in his hands and kissed her with all the pent up passion he had held in for three years. It started slow and tender and then turned into an aggressively hard kiss. Gilraen felt like a starved woman who was just given permission to eat at a banquet in the king's palace. She wrapped her arms around Raions neck and grabbed handfuls of his silken hair. Raion felt as if all his senses had exploded at once. He pulled her tight to him and ran his hand up and down her back. If he could have he would have sucked her inside himself and held her there forever. His lips left her mouth and kissed all over her face. Little shivers of excitement ran down her body, and almost left her limp. She felt perfectly happy and safe right here in his arms where she belonged. Raion finally stopped kissing her and just sat there holding her.
Finally he spoke, "You don't know how I prayed for those words. I have not been truly happy for three years. As an eternal being years pass and I have never felt them to be tedious until now. The last three years have been long and laborious. Now I feel free and light. You have me the happiest elf man alive. I want you to be my wife."
"Yes Raion, Yes. I will never be able to give you back those three years but I sure will do my best to make you the happiest elf in the world. I am so sorry for the wasted years."
Raion tilted her face up so she could look into his eyes. "I forgive you and I don't want you to waste any more time thinking on the past. Its over and we will live for the future. Agreed?"
"So will tomorrow be too soon to get married." Raion asked
"Tomorrow? How will I get everything ready? Who will we invite?"
"I do not care. I just want you for my wife. We have already spent too long apart."
"We need to go ask Elrond to marry us. We need to tell the children."
"Lets go do that now. Estel came here after the banquet and I think they are in the garden talking."
At that moment Estel popped his head around the wall where he and Serme had been hiding. "We heard everything and we agree that you should get married."
Gilraen's mouth popped open and she started to laugh. "How long have you been hiding there?"
"I saw you come down the path, and you have not been here in so long I had to know if something was wrong. Are you mad?"
"No, nothing can make me mad this night."
"Let's go tell father. He will be so happy."
"Estel it is too late tonight. I know Elrond will be in bed. You need to go to bed also young man."
"I was going to spend the night herein the extra room if that is ok with you?"
"Sure. Raion will you walk me home?"
"I have a better idea how about you sleep in my bed for tonight, and I will sleep out here on the couch. It will be ok."
"Alright if you don't mind. I don't want to put you out in your home."
"It will be your home by this time tomorrow if all goes well. So how does a nice soft bed sound for right now."
"Perfect! I did not realize how exhausted I was until right now."
Raion took Gilraen back to his room and after a nice long good night kiss he left her to sleep out on the couch. He fell asleep with a happy smile on his face.

I've mentioned before that taking advice from unqualified celebrities when it comes to health is a bad idea. While they might be well intentioned, good intentions are not the same a good advice. On that note – please stay away from goop.com – the health, wellness and lifestyle business operated by Gwyneth Paltrow. There's too much in it that is either misinformed of frankly dangerous to take a chance that something in it might be useful.

High expectations and anxiety impact weight loss
According to research by behavioural scientists from Australia's CSIRO, most Australians tend to over-think, have too high expectations and are anxious about failure – all of which can derail the best intentions when it comes to shedding unwanted kilograms (or pounds if you prefer).
They found there are five behavioural "Diet Types" with the over-thinking, anxious perfectionist the predominant type.
Correlation, causation, flaky science and trust
A recent article on the weight loss benefits of eating breakfast says
That doesn't mean particular breakfasts can't help some people control their appetites, or bring other benefits like energy. Schlundt's study was tiny. But it shows how easy it is to simplify the complexities and limitations of nutrition science and cherry-pick the findings.
The point of the article is that choosing a single study to prove a point is easy. When you're looking at a "fact" a single data point is not enough. The reason peer review is so important in science is that being able to repeat a study is critical.
BMI and GI – can we trust the numbers?
Body mass Index, or BMI, has been used by doctors and other health professionals as aindicator of healthiness. And Glycemic Index (GI) has been a popular tool for nutritioists to advise on the rate at which foods will release sugars into your bloodstream.
The trouble is, niether tool is perfect nor do they take into accout the differences in our indivdual body compostion or metabolism.
Sugar lobby paid for favourable research from Harvard
In news that comes as no surprise, it's been found that the sugar industry paid for research that found sugar didn't have a role in coronary heart disease.
Harvard nutritionists published two reviews in a top medical journal downplaying the role of sugar in coronary heart disease. Newly unearthed documents reveal what they didn't say: A sugar industry trade group initiated and paid for the studies, examined drafts, and laid out a clear objective to protect sugar's reputation in the public eye.
This is why it's important you critically read all research and ask questions – particularly when the outcomes of a study can benefit one particular group. Also, it highlights that even highly respected institutions like Harvard can be manipulated.

Dairy and weight management: what's the story?
A recent article, published at the CSIRO blog discusses the impact of dairy product consumption on weight management. I hate the term weight loss – it implies lighter is always better whereas healthy is what we are really striving for.
There is no one-size-fits-all (excuse the pun) solution we are advocating here – for various reasons, you may prefer a different dietary route to weight loss. But, for many people, increased dairy intake can help knock off the kilos while still staying healthy.
You can read the full article here.
Thinking about exercise can deliver benefits
Researchers at Florida Gulf Coast University conducted research with 60 college students, half of whom had a high need for cognitive stimulation. The others preferred to avoid anything too mentally taxing.
Both groups were outfitted with fitness trackers, which showed those who craved a mental workout were far less likely to do a physical one during the week.
If their deep thoughts include exercise, other research shows they might just be able to trick their body into believing it got a workout.
To top it off, some Japanese research has found that looking at sweets can cause your body to retain more calories.
In other words, getting your head in the right place may have profound effects on your health.
BMI is a flawed measure – let's stop using it
Researchers have examined data from 40,420 people in the most recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, looking for a link Body Mass Index (BMI) and key health markers including blood pressure, glucose, insulin resistance, and cholesterol and triglyceride levels. The BMI/health connection didn't pan out—by a long shot.
We've noted previously that BMI is flawed for individual analysis and how it doesn't take into account the weight of lean muscle versus fat.

Australian scientists say nutrition research needs a shakeup
A paper titled Nutritional Ecology and Human Health, published by David Raubenheimer and Stephen J. Simpson from the Charles Perkins Centre and School of Life and Environmental Sciences, The University of Sydney says the way we measure the health impacts of the human diet needs to be reconsidered.
Simpson says "Conventional thinking which demonises fat, carbohydrate or sugar in isolation as causes of the obesity crisis — dubbed the single nutrient approach — has now run its course. We've provided a framework for not only thinking about but also experimentally testing issues around dietary balance. Much like the invention of the telescope or microscope, this framework offers a new tool with which to look at complex dietary problems and bring them into focus".

Exercise, diet and the weight loss conundrum
What's your goal? If it's weight loss then you'll likely hear conflicting advice as to whether diet or exercise is the best way forward. The trouble is there's some conflicting advice out there, particularly if you pay attention to bro-science. But this video offers some helpful insight.

Probably not. Care to specify what kind of controller you have?
Can you turn a regular controller into an Xbox 360 controller? Answered
I have an old controller lying around that I could use for my Xbox. I'm wondering if there is any way that I can mod it with a USB wire and some way to use it for my Xbox 360. Thanks in advance!
The one I have now is broken, but I'm wondering if it could be done with any controller
So do you have a 360 controller right now.
Then why don't you just open it up and try to google the solution. Post a pic and I'll help.

Car hire in Switzerland
In Switzerland, there are 4.3 million passenger vehicles on the roads. 14,000 (0.3%) of these vehicles come from car hire companies. Europcar, with its fleet of 4,200 vehicles (0.09%), is Switzerland's leading car rental company and takes its responsibility towards the environment seriously.
A convincing vehicle fleet
The responsible use of the fleet of vehicles is an extremely important factor, particularly in the environmentally sensitive area of car hire. This is why we place equal focus on the needs of our customers and our high standards of quality and service. We are constantly working to improve the environmental performance of rental vehicles. In the years to come, our goal is to reduce our fleet's average CO2 emissions to below the limit of 120 g/km required by the Swiss government.
A future eco-fleet
Car manufacturers are increasingly developing vehicles with new drive technologies designed to reduce fuel consumption and thus also CO2 emissions. Hybrid engines and vehicles powered by natural gas, hydrogen and ethanol promise an improved environmental performance. We are continually trialling these new models in our fleet, including with regard to acceptance among our customers. The low-emission Skoda models and VW's BlueMotion vehicles are particularly worthy of note in this regard.
The latest vehicles produce less CO2
Our vehicles are always at the cutting edge of technology and are thus more environmentally friendly than other cars on the road. On average, our vehicles are three months old - other Swiss cars have an average age of eight years! Older vehicles use much more fuel and therefore produce more CO2.
Many of the vehicles in Europcar's fleet are diesel vehicles, which use less fuel than petrol vehicles. Each one is fitted with the mandatory particulate filter.
Vehicle availability
Our 75 stations give Europcar the largest network in Switzerland. This allows us to significantly reduce long transfer distances, while protecting the environment and ensuring that customer have the vehicle they require at the right time and at the right place.
Your driving behaviour can pay off!
Over the exact same route, you can use up to 45% less petrol, significantly reduce CO2 emissions and, at the same time, help reduce accidents on the road through the way you drive.
This is how it works:
- Drive in the highest gear possible and at low revs
- Accelerate quickly
- Move up a gear as early as possible and down a gear as late as possible
- Switch off the engine at red lights and in traffic jams
- Drive smoothly and look ahead
- Only use the air conditioning when necessary

House Passes Amendment Calling for an Investigation of the Pentagon's "Information Dominance" Program
May 22, 2008
Last month, the New York Times published an article outlining how the Pentagon set up private briefings for a network of "military experts," who often held financial stakes dependent on continued Pentagon access, in order to achieve "information dominance" in the American media. As Chairman Skelton stated in April, "it all comes down to trust and credibility. And it would be a dangerous thing for the American people to lose trust in the Pentagon, in our retired officer corps, and in the press, each of which has a critical role to play in preserving our nation's freedoms."
Tonight, the House passed an amendment introduced by Reps. Hodes, DeFazio, and DeLauro to the Defense Authorization Act for FY2009 requiring that "not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Inspector General of the Department of Defense and the Comptroller General of the United States shall each conduct a study of, and submit to the Congress a report on, the extent to which the Department of Defense has violated the prohibition on propaganda" and defines propaganda as "any form of communication in support of national objectives designed to influence the opinions, emotions, attitudes, or behavior of the people of the United States in order to benefit the sponsor, either directly or indirectly."
On passage of the amendment, Speaker Pelosi said:
In his farewell address, President Dwight D. Eisenhower stated that "only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together." The Pentagon media influence program reported by the New York Times struck at the heart of this principle — not only denying citizens the knowledge they deserve but also using the media to manipulate public opinion, and as a consequence, damaging our democracy.
The President and members of his Administration led the country to war on the basis of unproven assertions, later confirmed to be false, and have continued to misrepresent the truth on the ground. The Hodes-DeFazio-DeLauro Amendment which prohibits the Department of Defense from using funds for propaganda purposes and initiates a GAO and IG investigative report into past use of propaganda, is a vital step toward restoring the public's faith in information stemming from the Pentagon.
Rep. Hodes:
|Rep. Hodes:"The American people were spun by Bush Administration "message multipliers." They were fed Administration talking points, believing they were getting independent military analysis. Days after, the Pentagon suspended the program. The news outlets have been remarkably silent. The Department of Defense Inspector General has begun an internal review of the program but given the possibility as well as decision makers in this Congress were misled about the war in Iraq, I believe it is absolutely critical that a public investigation happen that is transparent to this body as well as to the American people. Congress cannot allow an Administration to manipulate the public on false propaganda on matters of war and national security."
Chairman Skelton:
|Chairman Skelton:"The fact that there were a good number of former military officers that were given special access, many of whom had conflicts of interest in various defense businesses and they are considered military television analysts – you see people in the military are trusted by Americans. People who are retired military are trusted by Americans. And what's interesting is that this special group had special access to information in the Pentagon and obviously used that in their analysis…what's real interesting is the fact that – their special access was canceled."
Rep. DeFazio:
|Rep. DeFazio:"We have prohibited propaganda directed at the people of the United States using taxpayer dollars by the Pentagon. What happened here was a violation of that law and that anybody would stand here on this floor and say that that law, which we have had in place for more than 50 years, should be repealed or undermined by one narrow-minded Administration or Vice President Cheney or anyone else who wants to manipulate intelligence to the Congress and American people to a war that should not have been initiated. An informed and free press is critical to our system of government to have informed decision makers here. Maybe you don't want to hear the truth, but I do."
Rep. DeLauro:
|Rep. DeLauro:"This is propaganda, it is a military and industrial complex in which military analysts, many who have ties with the contractors making money off of the war and parroting DOD talking points on the air to mislead the American public and the TV networks did nothing to prevent it. And I would just tell my colleagues that if you voted for the DOD Appropriations Bill last year, you voted to prohibit this. You've done it since 2002. Donald Rumsfeld met with these guys 18 times, told them what to say, and then, my friends, DOD hired a company to track their remarks on the TV networks."

Joel and I went to Salt Lake City for a little getaway last weekend and we had a blast. We managed to pack in as much as we could because that's how we roll on vacation (especially when it's a place neither of us have visited).
We checked out downtown Salt Lake City first and the Mormon Temple. It was an amazing building with so much interesting history. It took 40 years to build (1853-1893) due to transportation issues and expectations.
Views of the city from Ensign Peak.
Cottonwood Canyon
We hiked the Donut Falls trail which was amazingly beautiful.
We had to climb this waterfall to get to Donut Falls.
Look at me, breaking the rules. It took everything in my type-A, first born personality to ignore the sign.
But it was totally worth it.
We also checked out the Salt Lake City Olympics Sports Park where ski and bobsled events were held. There was a ski museum that had a lot of information on the games and the history of Salt Lake City.
Before heading out of town, we had to visit the Great Salt Lake.

Campuses are turning to laptops for students
Article Abstract:
A growing number of universities and colleges are requiring students to operate laptop computers. Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, began issuing IBM Thinkpads and printers to freshmen starting in 1996 as part of a $3,000 tuition hike. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill mandates laptop use for its business school and medical school students, and freshmen will begin using computers in 2000. Laptops also have become a requirement or necessity at Drew University in Madison, NJ, and Valley City State University in Valley City, ND. Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania is among the schools that students are accusing of widening the socioeconomic field because of its laptop requirements. The University of North Carolina, meanwhile, said it reached its decision after realizing that 50% of undergraduates already brought computers to campus and that 25% planned to buy them while in college.

Releasing A Digital Only Project
Without Using Hard Copy
this video I talk about the
obvious trend of do digital
releasing and the advantage of
digital only releases.
But I still talk about the
importance of the CD itself and
that it's a very important part
of your music marketing.
However the amounts that you
order is what is going to
change as well as what else is
inside the CD as far as
marketing collateral.
believe that the CD will not
fade for many years to come
because of the "touch" aspect of
the purchase during live shows.
It will be another form of
creating ancillary income for
Many say that the CD is dead and
in some cases like retail space
and places to buy, it's true.
But before you though out the
notion of the CD as the only way
to sell your money, use it in
conjunction with your digital
release and treat it as
merch..........what? More
to come! :)

The Carpathians are allied with:
During the age of the Vampire their wrath knew no bounds. The Gypsys, seeing their power and fury, made a deal to join with them in an unholy alliance. Thusly, the de Carpathian Family came into its own. A merger set on combining the ancient magic of the gypsy with the bloodlust of the vampires. Deep within the heart of the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania Dracule himself wept when he saw the spawning of the family that would rule the shadows of the day just as the Dracule ruled the darkness of the night.
Romani is the Matriarch of the Carpathian Family. Sinopa, in Romani's absence, is taking care of the family. Romani took the throne after the falling of the Gypsy King Michael at her own hand. Michael fell to the evil magicks when he sought to take the hand of their daughter Scarlette as his lover and turn her into a vampire to preserve her beauty. Romani despite her intense love for Michael, killed him in cold blood.
Brief History
In ancient times when Darkhaven was but a new city, those that did not fit in were outcast into the darkness of the forests. Such was the plight of the gypsies that lingered in the shadows wielding their forbidden magic and gleaning a coin or two from passing citizens.
In their search for a home the outcast gypsies split into three groups. The first group, one bent on thievery, still exists to the south of Darkhaven, stealing bits of gold off those that dare to enter their world. The second group sought out other creatures that fully understood their sense of duty and ancient magic's, the vampires. The third group seemingly vanished from the lands, though rumors say that they clung to the darkened woods of the far north.
It is here, in the far north where the family de Carpathia came into power. With the fighting amongst the local vampire and the gypsies, a bargain was struck. The Dracule and the de Carpathia family entered into an unholy alliance. Born of blood, signed in blood both ancient and gypsy. The Dracule and the De Carpathia are bound:
