You must have heard it a thousand times over and over again and we wouldn't mind repeating. Iceland is expensive. We mean, really really expensive! But that shouldn't stop you from exploring the most gorgeous location on Earth. There are tricks and ways in which you save from spending excessive amount of money! This article is solely dedicated on providing insights regarding the currency exchange and tips to save money in Iceland.
Currency Exchange
Even though Iceland is a part of European Union, they still use their own currency, which is Icelandic Krona (ISK). You could check this site to get an idea about current exchange rates. If you are a first time visitor and are looking for ways to save money on exchange rates, read further where we provide golden tips from a first hand experience.!
Debit/Credit cards
Iceland is a crazy expensive country and you wouldn't want to lose more on exchange rates. The best thing about Iceland is that almost all shops accept cards and you can use your debit/credit cards almost everywhere. The only thing to be careful about is how much your bank would charge you for swiping your shiny cards at the counter.
Handy Tip: Before you leave, call up your bank and check how much they would charge for using the cards abroad. There can be fees on conversion and also for using it abroad.
Pre-paid currency cards
Once you are in Iceland, assuming you landed at the KEF airport (Reykjavík–Keflavík airport) like most of the people, you can see currency exchange counters and a bank called Arion bank. They provide pre-paid cards but their exchange rates are just terrible. On top of it, they charge for the card (around €12) and also a service charge of €6. So before even you could start spending money, you have already lost €16.! The worst part is that they don't even tell you about these charges. The card comes with some terrible discounts at some places (like a paltry 3 ISK discount on a litre of fuel) and good discounts at other places (15% off on the popular arctic adventures tours) but most likely you would have already booked your tours, hence you won't be able to make use of the discount.
Our advice: Do a quick research while you are near the counter and check if the card is really worth it. With your prior knowledge on your bank fees, make some calculations and see if you will save or end up losing more money. Typically credit card companies charge 2% on the converted money. Eg: you will be paying €6 for something that would cost you €300 at a Icelandic shop.
Do I need cash?
Well 99% of the time you don't. But just to be on the safer side (eg: you lost your credit card while doing something crazy), carry some ISK equivalent to €100 or whichever amount you prefer. Use your debit card at the ATM's in the airport to get the best exchange rates.
Tips to Save Money in Iceland
Here are some tips based on our experience, which will help you save that unnecessary expenditure while traveling.
It's all about food
- Cook your own meal, as that can help you save a lot of food. Just to give an idea, a regular pizza costs 25 euros in Iceland.
- Look for an accommodation with kitchen facilities. While this might not always be possible, but try to maximize that option. Accommodation with kitchen facility might be a bit more expensive than regular hotel room but you will save a lot on food.
- Carry ready to eat meals with you. Even the grocery stores are expensive and you can save a lot of time and money by carrying a couple of ready to eat packets.
- Do most of your grocery shopping in Reykjavik as the stores get pricey later on.
Trip Planning
- Rent your own car rather than taking tours (weather permitting). Tours in Iceland are expensive, so if you are travelling in a group you will be paying a bomb.
- You don't need a 4×4 unless you are planning to drive in extreme winter conditions or in the highlands. Check this article for more recommendations.
- Read our article on 5 Tips on Planning a Trip to Iceland for more details.
- If you are travelling in a group, cottages are the best option. A single cottage can sleep around 4-5 people and comes with an inbuilt kitchen. They are really pretty as well for those Instagram photos.
- Read our article on Accommodation Guide for Self Drive Road Trip in Iceland for more tips.
- Blue lagoon is expensive, but there are more such hot spring pools you can enjoy like the Secret Lagoon and Mývatn Nature Baths.
- Do your souvenir shopping only in Reykjavik as the prices are cheaper (even compared to airport).
- Buy liquor in the duty free shop as soon as you land in Keflavík airport. Liquor is not widely available in Iceland and is definitely more expensive.
- Carry waterproof pants and hiking shoes with you if you plan to do glacier hike. Hiking shoes are a must and you will be forced to rent them, in case you are not wearing a proper gear.
- Use the above mentioned tips to exchange your currency and you will definitely save a good few euros.
We hope guide 'Currency Exchange and Tips to Save Money in Iceland' would help you better plan your trip to this breathtaking country.!

Doxygen vs JavaDoc
In order to cultivate good habit of commenting code well I experimented with Doxygen to generate documentation for our J2EE projects. In my opinion Doxygen is a little bit more difficult to learn than Javadoc, but also more robust and flexible. For example, Doxygen goes further than Javadoc: as well as documenting the classes, it also can produce a mixture of diagrams, such as class diagrams, collaboration diagrams, and even dependency graphs using visualization Graphviz tool. Today I tried only the graphical frontend of Doxygen, which is called Doxywizard and found it very useful for learning how to use Doxygen in our environment. I think it should be an uncomplicated task to use Doxygen with Ant. I already noticed an Ant plugin for Doxygen, and will try to use this tool from LuntBuild/QuickBuild environment.

Social Networks really came to the fore in 2006. Millions of people have created profiles and in many cases they have created multiple profiles on multiple social networks. I must admit I don't use any of the consumer social networks, just LinkedIn if that counts and my own blog. But what comes next with social networking; more friends, more pageviews, more widgets?
Well the answer may come from Bebo who today launched their new personal "home" page which I think would have been better off being called "My World". This new home menu tab is a link to an aggregated landing page that shows you what new things your friends are doing in their profiles. Below is Jose's page from Bebo and it shows his friends new friends, their new photos and the new bands they are listening too.
In many ways this is a social discovery engine, as opposed to search, based on your friends attention metadata. i.e what they are listening too, looking at or learning about.
By coincidence or not, over the weekend a story appeared on USA Today about social shopping and how people would like to see this as part of their social network. Imagine if Bebo enabled people to rate/recommend products or places within their own profile and that this information then appeared on their friends aggregated home page i.e social shopping meets social networking.
Philip Wilkinson's [CEO CrowdStorm] blogged about this over the weekend.
What it goes to show is that shopping can, and indeed is, a social activity both on and offline, and that it can be one of the most powerful word of mouth marketing activities due to the "trust factor". As the article says, a lot of the big social networks would benefit immensely from integrating a social shopping element and they will know that this is not an easy task to do organically. Thinking back to my old price comparison days, ask any of the big players what happened to their own efforts at creating a price comparison engine and then ask why they gave up and partnered with a specialised player…
Either way we will see if the big social networks try and do this themselves or if they seek to acquire specialists like CrowdStorm, TrustedPlaces and/or other social recommendation sites.

I want to wish my family, friends, and readers from the States a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Procida Part II
November 24, 2016 Procida, 80079 Procida, Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy
After gobbling up my gelato (Part I here). We finally explored the island. It's a sleepy fishing village full of cats. We found cats everywhere. Some of them napping, some enjoying a stroll, on stairs, on scooters..the cutest cats!
I didn't even see the cats when I took my photo above. A pointed out to me after and I started laughing.
I was loving the vibe of this island. It was so relaxed. We just kept walking around. Not following a map. We went up a hill and looked at the houses/buildings we passed by. We went on empty alleyways. Everything was beautiful!
I'm not sure if the island comes alive in the summer but I loved it being so peaceful.
I want to wish my family, friends, and readers from the States a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Things are going to be a bit slower for the next year or so. Kate's off work now to look after baby2 (when it arrives) so I no longer have lunch times to myself to sit and geek out. I'll hopefully have the odd chance every now and then, though, so I'll try and keep the blog going. Not much has happened since the last post - I've played a little bit of Beyond Divinity, but I'm still not really feeling it that much. I'm choosing to skip out some of the battlefield stuff because it's so tedious, but I'm worried it's going to leave me a bit under leveled further down the line. It really isn't a patch on the first game, but I paid good money for it, so I'm darned well going to finish it!
Not much to say about SubWar yet. I tried it briefly but couldn't get it to work happily with my joypad. I'll give it a go with keys later on.

Samsung's reputation in the tech world is one of continual innovation, and that's certainly true of its printing technologies for business customers. The company is one of the few that is currently producing high-quality, high-efficiency colour laser printers for businesses.
That means it's possible to get rid of all inkjet models, replacing them with one simple, compact Samsung colour laser printer that gets the job done.

Editor's Note: James Ker-Lindsay is Eurobank EFG Senior Research Fellow on the Politics of South East Europe at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is the co-editor of the book, New Perspectives on Yugoslavia: Key Issues and Controversies.
(CNN) -- The arrest of Ratko Mladic undoubtedly marks an important moment for the Balkans.
In Bosnia, the news will be greeted with relief by Bosniaks (the term now used for Bosnian Muslims). They will be relieved that the man widely held to be responsible for one of the worst atrocities of the Balkan wars of the 1990s will finally face justice. In contrast, across the communal divide, many Bosnian Serbs will be unhappy about the news. To them, Mladic is a saviour. However, it is unlikely to lead to major trouble, let alone fighting. People want to put the war behind them.
In Serbia, there will be a degree of relief that Mladic has been arrested. While nationalists view him as a hero, and will regard his arrest as nothing short of treason by the government, many ordinary people understand that Mladic ties them to the past. More importantly, it has threatened to pose an insurmountable obstacle to the country's hopes of joining the European Union. Such concerns now appear likely to be lifted. It is widely expected that EU leaders will grant Serbia candidate status by the end of the year.
Therefore, while few Serbs believe that Mladic will receive a fair trial, they nevertheless understand that his capture was vital if the country is to finally turn the page on a particularly dark period in its history and pursue the path of European integration.
The key question at this stage is whether the arrest will also open up the way for wider regional reconciliation. There are good reasons to hope that it will indeed contribute to a new spirit of co-operation that is slowly emerging between the states that made up Yugoslavia. Already we have seen considerable steps to this end in the region. President Ivo Josipovic of Croatia and President Boris Tadic of Serbia have made a concerted effort to rebuild relations between their two countries.
Likewise, the Serbian parliament has passed a resolution condemning the horrific massacre of 8,000 Bosniak men and boys that took place in Srebrenica in 1995, which Mladic is accused of directing. To some extent, his arrest will almost certainly help the process of healing between Belgrade and Sarajevo.
But it would be wrong to think that it will be enough to mend regional relations entirely. More needs to be done.
For a start, many Serbs feel that they have for too long been vilified and blamed for everything that happened in the region. They want to see others acknowledge their own roles in the wars that tore Yugoslavia apart. For example, the recent guilty verdict handed down by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to Ante Gotovina, a senior Croatian general, has highlighted atrocities committed against Serbs during the wars of the 1990s.
Meanwhile, in Bosnia, it appears unlikely that the arrest of Mladic will have much effect on the major political challenges the country still faces 15 years since the brutal conflict there came to an end. It is still without a national government after elections held last autumn. Levels of trust between the three main communities -- Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks -- are low, and waning.
Moreover, the capture of Mladic is not the end of the story as far as war crimes are concerned. Goran Hadzic, a Serbian leader from Croatia, still remains at large. He will also need to be arrested if Serbia is to fulfil its responsibility to co-operate fully with the ICTY, the body that will now hear the Mladic case.
There are also a large number of cases pending in national courts throughout the former Yugoslavia. These should not be forgotten.
Finally, there are the grave allegations made against Hashim Thaci, the current prime minister of Kosovo, and other figures from the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). Deriving from the conflict that took place there in 1999, these also need to be thoroughly investigated and prosecutions brought if sufficient evidence is found to support the claims.
So while the capture of Mladic is a significant step forward for the region, it is not yet time to draw a line under the wars of the 1990s.

Who is Martin Odum (Sean Bean)? That's the question behind TNT's thriller Legends (premiering August 13). The Game of Thrones alum portrays an FBI agent adept at assuming false identities — until a mysterious encounter forces him to question his own.
"It's fascinating to see how this man gets lost psychologically in his own persona," Bean says. "You have to go in and out of these people, and that messes up your head, so I have to be careful!"

European Customers
Many carp anglers across Europe have been astounded by the quality, 'catchability' and presentation of the Essential Baits range compared to other baits they have used in the past. We have received reports of some unbelievable captures of big carp from difficult waters due to the fact that Essential Baits offer a much higher level of quality than they have ever seen before.
Most UK anglers now accept that Essential Baits are the best quality food baits available, but now anglers throughout Europe are slowly beginning to realise that they can use a much higher quality bait to improve their catch rates.
Don't forget we offer good discounts on bulk orders, which will help offset the cost of shipping. For example a customer in Holland can purchase 25kg of boilies delivered to their door for about £9.00 per kilo delivered! Please see table below for shipping costs and if your country is not listed please contact us for a quote.
For further information you can email firstname.lastname@example.com
|Delivery destination
|up to 29kg
|Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Germany
|Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Slovakia and Austria
|Hungary, Poland, Sweden, Portugal and Slovenia
Note: Each additional box is the same price, for example, if you wanted two boxes sent to Germany (up to 58kg) this would be £30.00 shipping costs.
Unfortunately we are unable to send our freezer bait range to non UK destinations, however, many overseas customers use our ESL (extended shelf life) boilies with fantastic results. These can be put into your freezer on arrival and treated in exactly the same way as our freezer bait range.
For smaller orders such as flavours, additives, liquids etc, please contact the Tackle Box in Kent at www.tacklebox.co.uk who offer very competitive postal rates to Europe for smaller items.
European Stockists
We have a small number of European stockists but with such good shipping costs, many European anglers can now obtain their baits direct from Essential Baits at very competitive rates. Please see below some of the European companies that we supply....

We were very impressed by this specialist bait rolling company who have many years experience in rolling baits to customers own specifications. We supply Base Mixes and liquid additives to this company who supply many carpers in Germany.
This page will be updated periodically to bring you the latest European export news.
The benefits of Pellets
Pellets are also an extremely versatile bait, that can be introduced in a variety of different ways. One of the best methods is to use them inside mini PVA bags with a few crushed boilies. The full package is no bigger than a tea bag, but leaves a nice little pile of food perfectly presented and difficult for the carp to ignore!
Larger beds of pellets can also be very effective, particularly on heavier stocked venues when trying to create competition for food. On lower stocked venues however, a few pouch loads of pellets sparsely scattered around your baited rig will undoubtedly increase attraction and keep the carp searching for food. This method will always keep a food trace in the area and increase the chances of pulling fish into the baited zone.

King's Birthday is a national holiday in Cambodia. It takes place in May and lasts for three days, so I decided to go to Sihanoukville, nearly one year after my first encounter with Kenneth (Jed). It was May 2017.
I rode all the way to the coast, arrived late afternoon , went to meet a Khmer friend who came to Sihanoukville at my request. My thought was to snoop around, as well as to have some lazy time by the beach. But this holiday turned out to be anything but lazy.
Everything that could have happened – happened. My bike broke down at twelve midnight next to The Square (a girlie bar complex); it got lost in the night while being transported; I met and then parted ways with someone who was once part of Jed's forum; I got bed bugs in the guesthouse for the first time in forty years; got a raging cold.
And I ran into Jed McKenna and his friend Chris. Twice.
It was my third day in Sihanoukville, just after six in the evening when it was beginning to get dark. I crossed the road and went to the Golden Lions monument, sat for a minute thinking where I would have dinner, then got up and started crossing the road from the roundabout. That's when I saw Jed. He was a couple of hundred metres away across the road, sitting in a small cafe called 'Mike's Burgers', the photo of which you see above. I could only see his back and to this day I have no idea how I recognised him from that, especially considering the distance. There was another man with him.
I have to admit here that everything that happened from that moment on – was not under my control. My feet simply turned and went in that direction, the mind was absent, and any conscious thinking left me. In my defence.. Jed's actions were along the same lines. Similarity of nature… can't beat that.
I walked into the cafe, turned around, looked at him and said 'I knew I would meet you tonight. Tonight is the night'. It was true. I didn't want to come out into town, but had this niggling sensation that I absolutely should, and so there I was….
Jed winked. I could see he was hoping I would move on, but no hope in hell was I going to do that. I said 'I wanted to send you an email, but decided against it' (which was true again, I had a draft of it on my laptop). There was a pause, then I said 'We need to talk'. He said 'There is nothing to talk about'. His friend was sitting opposite him, listening and saying nothing.
I then said something on the lines of 'Are you about to have dinner here?', and he said 'Yes, we are'. I then repeated 'We need to talk, is that too difficult for you?', and turned to look at his friend. He was very serious, so I said this to him, looking straight into his eyes, 'You look so very serious, are you always like that?' He got visibly embarrassed, removed his glasses and said 'No, not always serious', and Jed echoed 'He is not always that serious, just sometimes'.
I said 'Would you mind if I joined you?', and that was followed by something really strange from Jed. He moved a bit and said with a smirk 'No thank you, we are gay'. I thought in a flash 'What the fuck does it have do with joining a dinner?', but said nothing. There was a pause, during which Jed and myself were looking into each other's faces, and all I remember from that is a couple of small brown age marks on the right side of his forehead, his half unbuttoned shirt with visible bare chest, tired eyes. Again, he looked vulnerable, small, with a drawn face, but deviant at the same time; this was his private moment, unexpected. I could see that, like myself, he was totally unprepared for this meeting.
I then walked out, went a few metres away, sat down on the steps, got my phone out and found a photo of him in one of the bars. Again, I was completely blank, doing everything on autopilot. I walked back into the cafe, came up to the table, showed him the photos and said 'I haven't told you everything, and there is much more. We need to talk.' This is when he kinda lost it. He made a sound such as 'Ermm…', his face expressed disbelief and annoyance, he got up very swiftly, I stepped aside giving him space. He started giving instructions to his friend, I couldn't quite hear what, but it was clear that the friend was very obedient, that they were very close to one another and knew exactly what to say to each other. Then Kenneth (Jed) grabbed an object hanging from his chair, walked really fast to a small motorbike, put on his helmet, jumped on it and drove off at speed. His friend stayed behind waiting for the burger order to arrive.
His friend had the same object on his chair, so I asked what it was. He said 'Pool cues'. I said 'Can I ask your name?' and he replied 'My name is Chris'. I moved my hand to shake his, he accepted it. I then said 'You don't know who he is', and he said something which made me think about it many times after if it was true (it turned out to be true).. He said 'I know who he is'. I turned my face away and said 'Five fucking years…' He repeated that and looked at me a bit bewidered. Then he said 'You certainly upset my friend'. At that moment the order arrived, he collected it, went to his motorbike and was gone.
They were planning the usual night out in one of the girlie bars, but it never happened. That night Kenneth went straight home and stayed home all day the following day. And that made me think… you already know me, I know what you look like, I know who you are… why hide? The run seemed so immature, so child-like that I began to wonder further, to ask what it was all about.
People only hide when there is something to hide, which proved to be correct later on. This above also made me realise 'Jed McKenna' is not American by origin.

Who We Are
Beginning in the Fall of 2019 Boylston Congregational Church and Christ the King - JP/Roxbury began worshipping together. We are currently in the process of becoming one church.
Below you will find the vision and values from Christ the King.
Our Vision
Christ the King exists in Jamaica Plain and Roxbury to see people reconciled to God and one another through the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As this takes place we hope to see a positive impact in every aspect of the community where our members live, work, and play.
Our Core Values
Gospel Driven
At the center of our vision is the conviction that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, and that every malady and grief is addressed and substantially healed in this gospel. We long to see transformation in the city by the outgrowth of lives as they are renewed by the Holy Spirit. We are convinced that only the good news of the love of God expressed in the death and resurrection of Jesus is capable of accomplishing such radical renewal in Boston. Although many ministries will flow out of the church, our first priority is the proclamation of the good news of Jesus. We believe Christians are real sinners with real problems, but the truth of the limitless grace of God towards those he loves will change everything as it courses through our community.
Prayerfully Dependent
We believe the Holy Spirit is the driving force in our church. Apart from him we can do nothing. As such, we strive to be dependent on God through frequent prayer. In prayer we do not seek to bend God's will to ours, but rather to draw near to him and let him shape our desires. As C. John Miller says "Prayer teaches us that we are sons and daughters of God with a Father who loves us not because we are perfect, but because we are in union with Christ. It opens our eyes to see that God is not a harsh judge, but a loving parent who is delighted even by our imperfect efforts to obey him"
Neighborhood Focused
Of all the facts about our city, this might be the most telling: there is no Wal-mart here. Boston was founded in 1630, and although life has changed dramatically since then, the provincial layout of the city still shapes daily life. People are more likely to walk to a corner store than drive to a mega-retailer. We believe the most effective church in Jamaica Plain and Roxbury will be the church that understands the dynamics of the neighborhood and continually strives to be a part of the fabric of the community.
Christ calls us to love our neighbor, and in a city as diverse as Boston that means building friendships and sharing life with people from a variety of races, cultures, ethnic groups, and socio-economic classes.
A Living Community
In our culture, people often view church as an isolated activity to be balanced and juggled amongst many other responsibilities in life. However, the Church is far more than a single meeting or service. The Church should be a living and active community of people who rely upon, trust, and love one another throughout the week. We strive to be a church that is more than a location or an event, but instead that we would be a people living for Christ and in relationship with each other no matter what day of the week it is.
In this same way, as a living community we seek to build relationships and share our lives with people outside of the church. As we live in the neighborhood, work at our jobs, attend schools, and frequent businesses, we hope to tell others about Christ in the context of natural ongoing friendships.
Kingdom Minded
God has been at work in this neighborhood a lot longer than we have, and we are extremely thankful for his presence here. As we pray for our community, we seek to support and encourage what God is doing in other Gospel-preaching churches and Christian organizations in the neighborhood, the city, and around the world. We value the fame of Jesus Christ far more than our own, and we long to see his name made great through whatever organization or person.
To this end, Christ the King – JP/Roxbury seeks to have an impact beyond the neighborhood by functioning as a Launching Pad for New Churches and a Training Ground for New Pastors.
Boston is a bustling and diverse city with residents from a broad spectrum of socio-economic classes and faith backgrounds. One church cannot possibly reach everyone. That is one reason why Christ the King – JP/Roxbury is committed to a greater church planting movement in Boston. Christ the King - Boston currently has 7 additional worshipping congregations in Dorchester, Newton, Roslindale/West Roxbury, Somerville, the South Shore, and Portugese and English speaking congregations in Cambridge. Beyond these local congregations, we hope to see churches planted around the country and the world through the connections we make while ministering in this great global city.

Game Review: Prison Architect
I'm a lover of travel, photography and video games, from the UK. I have worked in the games industry and very passionate about games and their design. Never get bored of them!
Prison Architect is a crowd-funded prison construction simulator by Introversion Software, taking inspiration from classics like Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper. It's out now on PC and consoles, with Android and iOS ports reportedly in development. ComiConverse brings you this review from our very own Alan Stock.
Game Review: Prison Architect
Stephen Welch. He's extremely violent and unpredictable, imprisoned for mass murder. Serving a life sentence, he spent his days in permanent lockdown in his cell, in a Supermax security wing of the prison full of armed guards. Almost every day, Welch, who was immensely strong, would start wrecking his cell and trying to smash the door down. Each time the guards tried to restrain him, he'd manage to severely injure or even kill them – he could even withstand a tazer hit. However strong the security, or however his many needs were catered for, Welch would still randomly start trouble. After over ten guards had been killed in one week thanks to Welch, the prison warden made a controversial decision and authorised lethal force if things got out of hand again. The next day, Welch beat an armed guard unconscious and stole his shotgun before shooting another guard dead. He escaped to the yard where a sniper in an overwatch tower opened fire and put 5 bullets into him – at last ending Stephen Welch's reign of terror. Problem solved – but was that extreme measure the right approach?
This question was one for me to ponder later – because I was the warden who authorised lethal force after Stephen Welch resisted all attempts at containment. See, although Prison Architect is essentially about building a prison, it's as much about managing the prisoners and all the associated problems which can turn your well-laid plans upside-down. Whilst being a fun game in its own right, it also provokes some thought about the difficult job that penal systems face - where financial and institutional needs can steamroll over moral issues. It's up to you whether your prison will be a liberal place full of reform programs, a relaxed timetable and comfortable living, or an oppressive regime with tiny cells, constant prisoner searches, sniper towers and armed guards.
A short campaign introduces you to the basics of prison construction and crisis management with premade prisons and a simple storyline. After that, you'll be playing sandbox mode – starting with a bare patch of land, some workers and a government loan – and you'll need to construct a basic prison before the first inmates arrive. This is a private prisons enterprise, you need to be profitable, so you have to start off small (unless you turn on unlimited funds). But the government pays you for inmates in your care and there are grants available to fund expansion. Eventually your prison will evolve from a single shared holding cell and canteen with a fence around it, to multiple wings of individual cells, full of facilities for staff and prisoners surrounded by high walls and dog patrols. As you progress you can unlock research options giving you access to more room types, staff and micromanagement options. It's up to you how to evolve your prison, although the grants do provide some direction rewarding you for developing your prison in certain ways. You can technically play forever, a prison grading system and re-offending rate give you a way to judge how effectively you're doing your job. Game Over occurs under a number of conditions - if you fall into too much debt, or there's too many escapes in a short space of time, for example. Just building a prison isn't enough – if it doesn't function well you'll be for the chopping block pretty soon. Brilliantly, if you fail from too many deaths during your tenure, you are incarcerated in your own prison!
Construction has a nice amount of freedom, rather than being forced to use pre-set rooms, you are able to lay out your prison however you'd like – using a zoning system to designate rooms and placing the necessary objects inside. Your workers do the drone work - dutifully ferrying materials around the map and building and demolishing as required. You also need to support rooms with utilities like electric cables and water pipes, although this often feels like busywork. After playing for a while, the importance of good planning becomes apparent. It's often simply unaffordable and unfeasible to rebuild areas already in use. Bad decisions with room placement early on can come back to haunt you later. As you gain experience, you'll learn what works effectively and figure out more efficient layouts. There's plenty of room for experimentation though – as evidenced in the other prisons you can download using the games' prison sharing tool.
Prisoners and staff are controlled by the AI, although you can select staff and move them to specific points RTS style – useful for quelling trouble. Guards automatically do jobs like unlocking doors, escorting prisoners and subduing unruly inmates. Patrol routes and a deployment map can be researched to give you greater command over their movements. Prisoners, on the other hand, can't be directly controlled - they follow the daily regime you've set out. And as you might expect, they aren't all well-behaved – fights will break out, escape attempts may be made, and contraband flows around the prison (often a shocking amount when you first discover it). Prisoners all have needs, a long list including hunger, hygiene, safety and recreation. If you aren't meeting those needs, they get angry - which can quickly escalate to rioting with the wrong trigger. If you don't put down a prison riot fast it'll spread and then you're in trouble – although you can call in riot police and paramedics to help. If you completely lose control the National Guard will turn up and shoot everything in sight in a grimly satisfying Game Over you can watch. Prison riots are exciting events even if they do end up wrecking half your prison.
Riots aren't the only way prisoners can rebel against the system. You can't get complacent or careless, if you aren't vigilant, prisoners may take advantage of that. I learned this the hard way in a good example of the emergent scenarios in the game. I'd built a large 40-man dormitory to save on costs, which I only allowed minimum security prisoners to occupy – thinking they were unlikely to be much trouble. My trusting nature was thrown in my face when I was alerted to a mass escape – the entire dormitory had worked together over a number of nights and managed to dig a long tunnel reaching outside of my walls where they ran off to freedom. By the time I found out it was already too late. The easy life was over – I cracked down hard with patrolling guard dogs, metal detectors and regular searches of that cell. It's just one example in Prison Architect of how the prisoners work towards their own ends and require thought beyond simply building rooms for them to live in.
The game's style is light-hearted, with cartoony visuals and an element of black humour. But Prison Architect has a darker side to it - it shrewdly makes you consider issues of prison management in the real world. A key point I took from it was how easy it is to dehumanise prisoners. Although each prisoner has a bio, unless they are special in some way - like max offenders – you probably won't know or really care about them – they're simply a commodity grinding their way through your system. From a planning point of view you take the bigger picture – you may start focusing on efficiency and profitability without considering what effect it would have on the prisoner's lives. Whether you cater to their needs fully is up to you – and it's entirely possible to ignore them entirely if you run a tight enough ship. In my biggest prison, I wanted some variety and more money so I started to take only maximum security prisoners, whom you get paid more for. A number of them caused massive fights regularly and overall unrest in the prison. To deal with it I hired armed guards, placed sniper towers over yards and put CCTV and metal detectors everywhere. In the end, I quelled the trouble but as a result all of my prison was suppressed – more unhappy and less likely to engage in reform programs. Although only a small quantity of the prisoners were the problem, my solution had affected every inmate – now living under an oppressive regime, constantly being watched with armed guards everywhere. I found that really interesting, it may just be a game but it raises some thoughtful insights into social issues in prisons.
What sets Prison Architect above its predecessors in the genre is that even once you've exhausted the vast number of room types and research options – there's still plenty of engagement to be had. The prisoner's behaviour keeps things interesting and there's always ways to optimise, expand or restructure your prison to accommodate different strategies. Changing the type of prisoners you'll accept can change the way your prison needs to be run. Some prisoners have special traits which make them a real danger, and others like snitches require protective custody. Random events can be enabled to keep you on your toes if things are going too smoothly – although in my opinion they should be more extreme as they're usually easy to deal with. A great option to turn on is gangs, which create loads of problems for your prison – gang leaders can even appear who make plays for territory and punishing them can result in riots from the gang members. There's loads of depth to be found in the advanced stages. However, gameplay does have a tendency to become a bit dry and stale, especially if things are running smoothly. Expanding your prison can become tedious and repetitive when laying out new cell blocks, utilities and supporting rooms. But once you've reached a point you feel you've reached the end, there's an immense satisfaction to just watch your prison running like a well oiled machine, or following individual prisoners through their daily routine, all of which you created yourself.
Unfortunately the level of quality elsewhere in the game doesn't extend to Prison Architect's useability. At every step of the way the game is undermined by a poor interface and bad player guidance. The interface is often unintuitive - confusing, inconsistent and with many annoying quirks. Although the tutorial campaign and tooltips explain some of what the game offers, it doesn't do enough. Tasks which should be simple are often not explained. When things don't work or you can't do something, there's usually no explanation as to why. Many of the games depths and advanced features can only be fully explored or understood if you go online and start reading Wikis or forums. This is a real shame as the inaccessibility of the game becomes an incessant irritant to progress and interferes with your enjoyment. Although I don't agree with player handholding in these types of games, there's lots of information and systems you simply won't be able to figure out yourself. The console versions have a more polished interface but still suffer many of these issues. There's also plenty of bugs to be found even though the game has been in development for over five years. It's an interesting result of crowdfunding – in traditional development a publisher would have stepped in to force the developer to address these problems. As a result there's a huge amount of deep content in Prison Architect, but a lack of basic useability polishing, which would have helped a great deal and may well put less dedicated players off.
Prison Architect: Conclusion
If you can get over these hurdles, you'll find Prison Architect to be an addictive and absorbing game. It's the new king of this style of simulator, helped largely by the dynamic prisoner behaviour and emergent scenarios that result. It's brimming with extra content, like map sharing, a full mod system, and a prison escape mode. Whilst the campaign could be fleshed out and the sandbox could use some more player direction, you can easily spend days immersed in just one prison exploring all the content and expanding. It's also a showcase for what can be achieved through prolonged development through crowd funding – and the passion that Introversion have for the game is clear with their interesting development videos on Youtube and fan requested features. Prison Architect may not be perfect, but its engrossing and a long awaited rebirth of a genre that's been dead for far too long.

We had dinner with 2 single women and despite us being snooty old primadonnas,as Stumblefoot can attest,they decided to have dinner with us again.I doubt you would be disappointed with the treatment of singles on Silversea.

"Employment Authorization Document" (EAD) or EAD card or "Work Permit" is a document issued by the USCIS to an alien/ non-citizen which entitles him to legally work in the U.S. for any employer. What makes it different from other work visas like H, I, O-1, or L-1 is that persons with these sponsored work visas can work legally for the sponsoring employer only.
Eligibility for applying for EAD by filing Form I-765 is diverse and includes many criteria like nationality (very small number of nations qualify), special categories of students, political asylum seekers or refugees based on terms and conditions, dependents of E-1/E-2/E-3/L-1 visa holders, persons awaiting permanent residence etc.
Of course if you are a U.S. citizen you don't need an EAD to work for any employer in the U.S., so is the case of Green Card holders or if you have a work visa sponsored by a specific employer.
Interim EAD may be obtained by some category of people id USCIS takes more than 90 days to reach a decision on your EAD application (given for a maximum period of 240 days).
Gavlin & Associates, P.C., New York is the best place you can think of approaching once you have decided to file application for EAD. You can also enquire on your eligibility for EAD if you provide us with all the needed info.
We will be extremely happy to assist and guide you through the whole process starting from filing Form I-765 to preparing all the needed documents and answering to the queries of USCIS officials.

I have a new book of poems, Seeschlange, published by Equipage (Cambridge) in an edition of 300 copies.
I delighted that Rod Mengham has allowed me to smuggle out another fugitive catch of notebook poems, short texts and soundscapes, from his Equipage press. Seeschlange really is about 'waiting for the past of happen'. And happen better. By way of cut-up, ambulant delirium, raids on archive. I'm not sure where these messages come from or where they are going. But I like the way this small book handles. It takes me right back.
There will be a launch reading with Brian Catling at Swedenborg House. At 7pm on Nov 2.

Sounds like good idea.
I have a 12v 6" monitor, but I think it's too small for anyone but me to see.
Sounds like good idea.
I have a 12v 6" monitor, but I think it's too small for anyone but me to see.
I would think that would work well. However... it's just the receiver that would need to have line of site, correct? The monitor doesn't really matter. I'm thinking if the 40" were just inside the door of ClubSELEM and a video cord run out the door, the receiver could be up on top of the chain link fence or, even at the gutter or roof level of the cafeteria and still see the bird.
Based on the distance from the boat house to the cut off where you turn in off the highway and the fact you had the quad that far away at FLEM, I would think the receiver would pick up the signal fine from the field across the street. A 40" monitor would be badass although, how good is the resolution once you blow it up that big? (I have long lengths of composite cable - at least a 50 footer.)
It's not really the distance that is the factor, it's the solid objects. A small tree branch with leaves is enough to disrupt the signal. It's amazing how little it takes to kill it. I like the idea of leaving the monitor inside though. I also have a long RCA cable that I plan to bring anyway. We could connect them and get the receiver quite a bit higher/closer/free of obstacles. The receiver is smaller than a pack of cigarettes so it should be easy to find somewhere to put it outside.
Besides I won't be flying it through the monitor anyway. I will be using my goggles which have their own receivers.
Yes the resolution will not seem as good on the large monitor. We are dealing with standard resolution not high definition, but who cares.
OK, I will plan on bringing the TV. I'll see if I can pick up an inverter that will power it as well.
Speaking of quad-copters, did you guys see the new "Lily" drone that was all over Reddit the other day?
This thing is seriously cool. Check out the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vGcH0Bk3hg
There are two major drawbacks to the thing, in my opinion:
1) sealed, non-removable battery. Makes sense, since otherwise it would be tough to waterproof the thing, but it means you can't carry extra batteries and swap them out. So you get 20 minutes of flight time and then you're done unless you have a charger handy.
2) zero obstacle-avoidance. Again, it makes sense, since it's just following the tracking "puck" that you wear, but it limits the usage to wide-open spaces. If you don't consider your surroundings, this thing will happily fly itself into a tree (or a building) while shooting your video.
With that taken into account, it's still a damned cool idea, and at the pre-order price of just $499, it's tempting. (Rumor is that they'll have them shipping by next February, at which point the price more than doubles.) But I think I'll pass, if only because I'd rather get some FPV gear first. (The camera specs are quite impressive though.)
Actually, I still have my ski equipment. Just haven't used it in about 10 years!
But yeah, FPV is probably going to take precedence over buying one of these things. It's just that I have a lot of other things that are going to take precedence over the FPV! (Like an Advanced ILDA Router, for example.)
And if you think that selling Marie on an FPV setup will be hard, you have no idea what it's going to be like when I tell her I want more laser shit...

From beauty products to books, I'm sharing 5 things I'm loving lately for travel and everyday… including this facial spray that I'm addicted to, a fun read about a year-long adventure in Paris, and, random, I know, but my favorite new toothbrush that is the perfect size for travel (not bulky and no charger!).
A friend recently gave me a bottle of Caudalie's Beauty Elixir face spray, and I use it every day and night after I wash my face and a couple times in between. It feels and smells so refreshing (made with rose oil, rosemary, grape), and I love that it's "clean" i.e. natural ingredients and free of all the bad stuff. It also comes in a travel size, perfect for keeping your skin from drying out during a flight!
I'm old school and always have a notebook or notepad with me, especially when I travel. I recently discovered Poppin which makes these great little soft cover notebooks for just $9. I always have one in my purse to jot down notes, lists, recommendations, etc.
Loving St. Tropez's new 'Purity' self-tanning mousse. It's vegan-friendly, cruelty free and made with naturally derived ingredients and goes on light and gradual for a subtle summer glow.
I recently read Paris In Love: A Memoir by Eloisa James and it makes for a great summer or beach read. The author, a Shakespeare professor and writer, moved from New Jersey to Paris for a year with her husband and two children. The book is filled with exciting, funny and detailed excerpts from their year long Parisian adventure.
Never thought I'd be writing about a toothbrush, but I'm a sucker for design and I love how the Quip has the effect of an electric toothbrush, but it's battery powered so there's no charging and it doesn't take up a bunch of room in your toiletry bag when traveling. The best part? A new toothbrush head (and a new battery) will be delivered to your door every 3 months, when it's time to change them. One less thing to remember to pick up at the drugstore!

Release Date: 2011 |
Album Rating: 4.0Third review, and written fairly quickly. I had a bit of trouble with the start but otherwise it was quite simple to review. As always, constructive critism is encouraged.
I liked the album, but it's hard to love because of the lack of progression. Each of the past albums offered up something new, but this just feels like a rehash. Good enough review, I'll pos' it.
EDIT: I listened to this album a few times over again and I am now digging it. Bumping it up from a three to a four and withdrawing my soundoff.

What happens if my internet bandwidth gets lower in the middle of streaming?
When you start a live stream, your bandwidth may fluctuate and get lower at certain times. Even if XSplit Gamecaster tested your initial bandwidth, it may still become generally lower after a period of time (e.g. when more people come online using same DSL trunk). If this happens, you will see lag or dropped video frames.
Note: We are working on a solution that can dynamically lower bandwidth use for streaming by detecting when your bandwidth is constrained and automatically restores the original streaming bandwidth when your connection improves. This feature will be included in a future update.

|Fordham University (NY)
|2013 Inductee
Dan Gallagher retired from Fordham University in 2004 with a 518-468-10 record in 21 years, finishing second to only legendary Fordham head coach Jack Coffey on the school's all-time win list.
Included in his coaching tenure are seven league championships (three MAAC, three Patriot League and one Atlantic 10), four ECAC titles, and five NCAA Tournament berths. In two of the first four years in the Atlantic 10, Gallagher led the Rams to the Atlantic 10 Championship Tournament with the 1998 squad winning the A-10 title and advancing to the NCAA East Regional Championship.
Gallagher received the Iron Major Award in 1998, given annually to the Fordham Coach of the Year. It was the third Iron Major Trophy Gallagher earned in his 21 years at Fordham.
Under Gallagher's guidance, a number of Fordham players have gone on to be drafted by Major League Baseball teams or sign free agent contracts. The most notable players being Pete Harnisch, who was a first round draft choice of the Baltimore Orioles, and went on to pitch for over 13 seasons in the majors, Mike Marchiano, who was a 1997 All-American and a draft pick of the Seattle Mariners, and Bobby Kingsbury, a two-time Atlantic 10 Player of the Year, who was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and most recently played for the Greek Olympic Baseball team at the 2004 Olympics.
Gallagher was inducted into the Fordham Athletics Hall of Fame in 1997.

US Solar Decathlon seeks best sun-powered homes
For the past week on the National Mall in Washington, international crews have been busy putting up structures for an event showcasing a radiant source of energy that some once revered as a god.
No, it is not a remake of President Barack Obama's inauguration but the Solar Decathlon, a biennial event that begins Thursday and this year puts modular, solar-powered homes through 10 tests to determine which is the new sun king.
Over the course of a week, teams of students from Canada, Germany, Spain and the United States will take part in competitions judging the houses they designed and built for everything from aesthetics to engineering to whether the water heating system can meet a couple's hot water needs.
Judges will determine whether the houses are properly fitted out with the modern conveniences most Westerners cannot live without, and whether the appliances consume less energy than those in the average US home.
The houses displayed on the Mall, the sprawling grassy esplanade between the US Capitol and the Washington Monument, are restricted to a footprint of 800 square feet (74.3 square meters) and are supposed to target a specific market.
Scores of teams applied to compete in this year's decathlon, but only 20 were accepted, including Team Beausoleil from the University of Louisiana, which built a house inspired by Cajun culture and facts of life in the southern US state, such as hurricanes.
The 5.5-inch (14-centimeter) insulated walls can resist winds of 130 miles (209 kilometers) per hour, and the insulation would also "cut your energy rate by about half if the house's solar panels were not producing for the home," said Catherine Guidry, one of the students working on the home.
The house featured a porch -- almost a requirement in laid-back Louisiana -- with moveable doors so it can be closed off on all sides or open on two sides. Plants indigenous to Louisiana thrived in planters in the small garden.
"We wanted it to feel like Louisiana from the inside and outside," Guidry told AFP.
Team Germany, winner of the 2007 decathlon, has reconstructed a house whose exterior walls and louvered windows are covered with small integrated solar panels.
Like the Spanish team's abode, which features a large, raised moveable solar panel on the roof, the house was shipped across the Atlantic Ocean for the competition.
The entry from Cornell University students in New York state features three corrugated steel cylinders and walls insulated with five inches of soy-based foam and sky-lights in all three cylindrical rooms.
The house is visually striking and, according to Cornell architecture student Chris Werner, can hold its own in a new category in this year's decathlon -- the "net metering" contest, which measures the energy a house produces for or takes from the electricity grid during the competition.
Even the heat that gets trapped in the structure's steel exterior is used to heat water, said Werner.
And when Cornell put its house through its paces at last month's New York state fair, it achieved "net-zero or better the entire time," meaning it is efficient enough to not require energy from the grid, according to Werner.
After two years of work on their houses plus nearly two weeks of constructing and competing, the winners will take home "bragging rights and lots of good feelings about the last two years of our lives," he said.
They will also take home a little culinary insight into the regions represented by other competitors because the "home entertainment" category of the decathlon requires teams to cook dinner for members of rival line-ups.
The German team's menu will feature dumplings known as knoedeln, but no sauerkraut, said Sardika Meyer, a spokeswoman for the team.
No German beer either -- alcohol is banned at the competition.
The University of Arizona team, whose house is made up of four modules that look like glass-domed funicular railway cars, plans to treat guests to tamales -- the Mexican answer to chapatis -- filled with dried, shredded beef known as "machaca" and a cactus salsa.
And Team Beausoleil will serve up Louisiana specialties, including gumbo and bread pudding -- but has ditched the idea of serving fried alligator.
"We thought it might scare away the neighbors," said Geoff Gjertson, the team's faculty advisor.

THE leader of Wirral's Liberal Democrats has received the mayor's award in recognition of his selfless work for the community.
Eastham councillor Phil Gilchrist learned he was the recipient of this year's Andy Day Memorial Cup during a meeting of the full council on Monday night.
Also known as 'councillor of the year', the honour is given in memory of the former labour councillor.
It was presented to Cllr Gilchrist by the Mayor, Cllr Dave Mitchell during Monday's meeting.
Cllr Gilchrist said: "I feel honoured to have received this award, but it was quite a shock when I was told that I'd won. I had no inkling that I was in line for it."
Cllr Gilchrist was elected in 1977 and lost his seat in 1990, following public opposition to the Poll Tax. He was re-elected in 1992 and served as mayor from 2007 to 2008.
He took over the reins of Wirral's Liberal Democrat group in May last year.
It followed a decision by then leader Cllr Tom Harney to stand down in the wake of the group being criticised for its "lack of direction."
Cllr Gilchrist continued: "Andy Day was a councillor for about 15 years and this award is given in recognition of their selfless service to the community.
"Each year the cup is award to councillors who selflessly serve their community. When I was Mayor I nominated Cllr Tony Smith for the award, in recognition of his work."

Indirect bonding is a method of applying brackets for braces to the teeth in such a manner that an entire set of braces can be applied, including expanders, in less than an hour.
Indirect bonding process
Indirect bonding is a technique in which molds of the teeth are made, and most of the work for the braces is done in the lab. It is an amazing process that depends on our ability to make particularly accurate models of your teeth. Much detail goes into the accurate measurement and alignment of the model, since your mouth is naturally unique to you.
The brackets for the braces are placed on the models of the teeth, exactly in the right place, fitted into the trays made on the model, and sealed and cured.
Setting your braces
When you come to our office to have your braces fitted, the trays, made from your own teeth models, have been completed with the braces built into them. All that remains is a quick sitting to fit the trays onto your teeth, align them, and separate the braces from the trays.
- Ideal tooth position
- Reduced treatment time
- Precisely aligned brackets
- Increased patient satisfaction
- Reduced likelihood of relapse
- Higher level of precision and strength
- Reduced rate of re-bonds after delivery
- Reduced chair time at initial appointment
