Big Boiler
The other news is that Daz picked me up a 32L aluminium stockpot the other week. I did a test boil this morning. The pot manages to just cover 2 burners, the large and one of the medium. It was a promising start for 24L:

Beer #11 - Fermented out?
I was away at the weekend so didn't manage to make an early check on the beer, a check this evening shows it at 1.010 which I imagine is fermented out and will make it 4% ABV. Easily the nicest tasting I've had straight out of the fermenter. I'll check again tomorrow and think about bottling.

Beer #11 - A bitter
I got a couple of cool books for my birthday last week, Designing Great Beers: The Ultimate Guide to Brewing Classic Beer Styles and Radical Brewing: Tales and World-Altering Meditations in a Glass. I'm just working my way through them and haven't really had time to fully absorb the info in them, but since I had today off thought I would get a brew in anyway.
- 2kg Mariss Otter pale malt
- 40g Biscuit malt
- 200g Munich malt
- 230g Crystal malt
- 28g Challenger -60 minutes
- 14g East Kent Goldings -15 minutes
- 14g East Kent Goldings -0 minutes
Again, the brew in a bag method was used getting about 8.6L of 1.060 wort in the stockpot. I also dunk sparged the bag in a spare fermenter which gave about 6L of 1.0?? wort which I used to top off where the pot had lost volume to evaporation during the boil. In the end I was left with just under 10 litres into the fermenter at about 1.058 (I think), which I diluted down to between 12-13L and a OG of 1.040. The yeast went in after a bit of cooling time. I had had the pot in the sink but without the sink plug that has gone walkabouts it was somewhat more difficult. I used the cooling time to wander up to the plot and drop the spent grains off in the compost, tidy up a bit and cook tea.

Nasri, Song set for shock Serie A moves
Posted: 7 February 2018 Time: 15:59
Former Arsenal midfielders Alex Song and Samir Nasri are reportedly in discussion with Serie A minnows Benevento as they seek to avoid relegation from Serie A.
Song and Nasri, both 30-years-old, starred together at the Emirates Stadium for three seasons before lucrative moves to Barcelona and Manchester City respectively but are both currently free agents.
After securing former Tottenham midfielder Sandro on a season-long loan and another former Gunner, Bacary Sagna, the Italian side are confident of landing their top transfer targets.
Currently rock bottom of the table and 13 points from safety, Roberto De Zerbi's side are in dire need of reinforcements as they seek to benefit from the improved TV rights deal in the Italian top-flight next season.
The top-flight debutants made history this season by taking 15 games to register their first point when goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli scored a 95th-minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw with AC Milan.

If you're having trouble motivating yourself to take action in a particular area of your life it may be because you haven't found your passion. It's too difficult to get motivated about something that you don't have an interest in or something that you're bored with.
On the other side of the coin, if you're extremely passionate about something you can't wait to get it done. This is especially true about your work/job. If you love your job you can't wait to leave the house in the morning and the time goes by really fast during the day.
How Do You Find Your Passion?
What would you do with your life if money was not an issue? What would you do for free if you had the opportunity? Would you travel to exotic countries or would you stay at home with your children? What do you dream about during those quiet moments when you're alone and deep in thought?
Something else you can ask yourself is what do you enjoy talking about the most? Most people talk about having to do chores or problems they are having at work, etc. What would you seriously enjoy talking about for hours at a time that wouldn't require any special effort on your part?
For example, I enjoy talking about and reading self-help books. We all have an opportunity to accomplish what we want if we motivate ourselves to take action. Your time on this earth is limited. How is your life going to end?
A woman who worked with terminally ill patients reported the majority of the people she talked to before they died said that they wished they had followed their dreams. So it's important for you to really focus on what it is you want to do with your life before it is too late. Yes you!
What's Easy for You to Do But Hard for Others?
Most professional athletes make it look easy. Do you ever wonder how a running back in the NFL can run so fast and outmaneuver the other players on the field? How about boxing champs? They make it look incredibly easy to throw punches to knock someone out.
Take a moment right now to write down all of your unique skills and ask yourself if that's something you could do for a living. Be honest because no one is going to see that paper but you, but it is something that has to be done if you're going to find your passion. Don't hold anything back even if you feel that something is small or insignificant.
Finding your real passion won't happen overnight, but if you continue to ask yourself the questions in this article there will come a point when you'll just know what you want to do with the rest of your life.
Finally, try to realize what's important to you and engage in those activities. If you want to change your life you may have to change your circle of friends. Anthony Robbins said, "You have to surround yourself with successful people that are already doing what you want to do." Find better friends who will help you move towards your goals today.

Ending a controversy that highlighted the unequal treatment of gay spouses in the military, an officers' spouse club at Ft. Bragg, N.C., has offered full membership to the lesbian spouse of a U.S. Army officer.
Ashley Broadway, who is married to Lt. Col. Heather Mack, said she will accept the offer to join the Assn. of Bragg Officers' Spouses. Broadway said she was "overjoyed" that the group has added sexual orientation to the non-discrimination clause in its by-laws.
"I have further reason to take pride in the Ft. Bragg military community, knowing that we, as military spouses, are able to come together to support each other, our soldiers, and our families," Broadway said in a statement.
The spouse group rejected Broadway's membership application in November, citing her lack of a military ID card. The cards are among many military benefits provided to opposite-sex spouses but denied to same-sex spouses, such as healthcare and housing.

VIX reacted to the post FOMC rally by giving up just over 20% last week. The standard September contract went off the board leaving October to take over as the front month. With a little time until October expiration (10/19) the result has been resumption of pretty steep contango. Of course there are some potentially market moving events between now and the end of the year so VIX futures bracing for some sort of spike may be expected.
As I wrote the previous paragraph it occurred to me that I have been posting blogs on VIX futures trading for over four years. This means I have access to curve data at this time before the last presidential election. I dug into my archives and was pretty surprised at what I found. The figure below shows the VIX curve this past Friday versus the curve on September21, 2012. VIX was a bit higher four years ago, but in comparable range near the lower end of the long term average. I was honestly shocked by the steepness of the far months on the 2012 curve below relative to the 2016 curve. Maybe 2008 was a recent enough memory to keep the risk premium of VIX futures at such a high level.

2002 — Lynn Charles Foster Recent Assemblages in Found Plastic
January 7 – March 22
Lynn Charles Foster, a Western alumni (BS1971, MA1979), currently teaches at South Salem High School and works as a studio artist in Salem, Oregon. He also teaches art at Chemeketa Community College. Using found objects he creates whimsical sculptures that take a thought provoking looks at society's cast offs
"For the past three years I have been making something out of nothing. …I look for objects that have interesting shapes and are likely to be thrown away. While going through the piles of plastic in my boxes, I begin to see relationships between objects and I get ideas for sculptures. Sometimes the objects will suggest a specific subject such as an animal or a robot. Other times, I will see a series of shapes that just work together, and I assemble them into an abstract sculpture. The final sculpture may have a "Post Funk" theme, or it may simply be an interesting arrangement of shapes and textures."
Foster has placed a collection box for hard plastic donations in the 1st floor main lobby of the library. On Monday, February 18th, he will be creating a totem sculpture from the donated plastic from 8:30am – 4:00 p.m.

Tasha Fierce at Red Vinyl Shoes: My Kind of Crazy
I used to talk about mental health issues a lot back in the day, but haven't lately because I got tired of feeling like a downer all the damn time. It is really important to bring mental health issues to light because the more we talk about them the less stigmatizing the diagnosis becomes, but constantly being the ambassador from crazyland is tiring mentally. You don't always have to be the one to suffer fools.
Marianne at The Rotund: Fat and Crazy; Not Entirely Coherent, Awkward Musing On My Fat And My Crazy And How They Party Together
So, for me, one of the very hardest, most awfulest to try to overcome parts of FA was the idea that I had to listen to my body and trust that I was interpreting its messages correctly. For an example: I have a proliferation of allergies, both food and environmental. Before I pursued actual useful medical treatment (as opposed to being told the allergies would go away if I lost weight), I had no goddamn idea if I was having an allergy attack or if I had a cold. In fact, it was so impossible to tell that everything read as allergies.

The interactive, online Disability Nondiscrimination Law Advisor helps employers determine which federal disability nondiscrimination laws apply to their business or organization and their responsibilities under them. To do this, it asks users to answer a few relevant questions and then generates a customized list of federal disability nondiscrimination laws that likely apply, along with information about employers' responsibilities under each of them.

The words spoken by the young Appalachian girl evoked in me a response I had not expected. My mouth became suddenly dry as I tried to swallow and fend off the rising lump in my throat. This sweet girl had not threatened me with violence, nor had she intentionally attempted to embarrass me. But her words caught me unaware and have echoed in my consciousness ever since.
We were standing on the foundation of what was to be a new addition to a non-denominational Christian church in northeast Kentucky. I had just asked the girl if she attended services at the church. Without taking a moment for breath, she responded with astonishing ease, Yes, this is where I gave my heart to Jesus Christ.
Excuse me? I was unable to reply to the testimony she had just offered, straight from her heart to my cynical ears. As a cradle Catholic, I had never heard anyone speak about Jesus with such language, which bordered on the romantic. I would imagine that most Catholics, at least in the United States, are in a similar position. Sure, Jesus Christ is our Savior, but you won't find us shouting it from the rooftops. But ever since my experience in Appalachia last year, I have been asking myself, Why not? Or, conversely, how is it that many Protestants are able to speak about their love for Jesus with such seeming ease?
I remember going to see the film Footloose when I was this girl's age. John Lithgow played an extremely stern Protestant minister, who was trying to protect his teenage daughter (played by Lori Singer) from the evils of pop music and dancing. The modish rebel protagonist, played by Kevin Bacon, made it his goal to break the chains of oppression and set her teenage spirit free to dance. Frankly, I was rooting for beer, dancing and girls to win out over the uptight minister! Additionally, around the time Footloose was released, anyone who watched television could not help noticing the ubiquitous images of televangelists that filled the airwaves with talk about Jeeezus and the fires of Hell that awaited anyone who didn't repent. These stereotypical portrayals formed my primary exposure to non-Catholic Christians, and I was completely turned off. Catholics went to church as regularly as our Protestant neighbors, but we didn't use the terms relationship with Jesus Christ or born again. These belonged to the rantings of Jesus freaks. My experience told me that, as great a guy as Jesus was, saying something akin to I love Jesus would invite harsh glances. The message was clearjust love Jesus and be quiet about it.
Even now, as a young man in religious life, I find myself resisting any love talk about Jesus. Outside of a controlled retreat or liturgical setting, I am uncomfortable speaking about my relationship with Jesus. In public, I prefer to theologize with my mind rather than speak from my heart. I have to believe that there are many other Gen-X Catholics (or Catholics of any generation, for that matter) who feel the same way. But in spite of our fear of such language, could it be that we are being invited to something greater? Perhaps we should take notice of the non-Catholic Christian groups who are affecting many people through their honest expressions of love for Jesus Christ. If we accept our mission as Christians seriously, then we (Catholics) need to accept the bid to go out to the world and tell the good news.
Some Catholics are afraid to engage in conversations with Protestants who speak about Jesus with such gusto, because at the root of some of these encounters is a prejudicial motivation to win conversions rather than promote dialogue. This is unfortunate for both sides, as it only breeds fear and mutual mistrust. While Catholics should not have to defend their faith on every street corner in America, we should consider our own flawed history of gaining souls for God before we write off our Protestant neighbors. As we should well know, good intentions can sometimes go awry, but this should not prevent us from cultivating our relationship with Jesus Christ and speaking lovingly and proudly about it. Of course, this is easier said than done.
In the Second Week of his Spiritual Exercises, St. Ignatius Loyola advises the retreatant to ask for the grace of an interior knowledge of our Lord, who became human for me, that I may love him more intensely and follow him more closely. Although Ignatius was a soldier in his earlier years, and even uses quite a bit of military language in the Exercises, he was not afraid to let down his macho guard and speak of his love for Jesus Christ. We Catholic Christians need to ask for this grace so that we are able to follow the one we call Lord, even to the point of personal sacrifice, if that is what is asked of us. But even more importantly, an intimate knowledge of the love of Jesus Christ serves to fuel our faith and impels us to love others. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus declares, The gift you have received, give as a gift. Once we have received the felt experience of Jesus' love for us, the more prepared we are to give that gift to one another.
The question remains, how are we Catholics, once we've experienced the love of Jesus, best equipped to give that gift of love to others? I am not proposing that we start knocking on doors and handing out pamphlets, but we could begin by conversing with one another about our love for Jesus. Many Catholic churches around the country are emptied with Guinness record book swiftness after Mass, even before the procession has reached the middle pew. The concepts of fellowship and community are lost in many of our parishes. Granted, there are exceptions, but they are not the norm. If we wish to cultivate discussions about Jesus' love for the world, then we should start in our own backyard.
Perhaps we could begin our efforts on a small scale, by initiating prayer groups, religious book discussion groups, bible studies and small Christian life communities in our parishes. These types of gatherings provide a more relaxed milieu for broaching love-talk about Jesus. Eventually inviting non-Catholic Christians to join such groups would be a significant step toward ecumenical dialogue on a topic that is at the heart of being Christian.
Of course, it is rather difficult to speak about love for Jesus unless we have cultivated it in our own hearts. A committed prayer life and the occasional retreat are important means by which we can tap into the graces that God is constantly offering us. Attempting to express something about Jesus' love without actually experiencing it is like describing the beauty of the Sistine Chapel ceiling when you have seen only a postcard reproduction. It is important for our witness as Catholic Christians to be honest, and this will happen only if we speak from personal, felt experience.
I believe all Catholics could benefit from an examination of how (or if) we talk about Jesus, and how we respond to others who do so differently than us. The words the young girl spoke to me at the construction site that day impelled me to reflect upon my own resistance and fear about expressing my love for Jesus. It was humbling to witness someone half my age articulate her love for him with so much passion, when all I could do comfortably is parley about Christological theories. Although Catholics are not Evangelicals, we are called to be evangelists, and there is much we could learn from our Christian companions.

BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Could the S&P 500 hit new record highs in the first quarter of 2013? It's looking more and more likely by the day. Right now, the big index is just 5% shy of the record highs that it hit back in 2007, meaning that it'll only take a bit more than the year-to-date performance the S&P posted in the first couple weeks of January again to top that high water mark for stocks. The fundamentals support a climb too. We're knee-deep in earnings season right now, and more than 70% of firms have bested analysts' estimates so far; that's a signal that Wall Street has sentiment pointed in the wrong direction in January. >>5 Stocks Ready to Break Out Also, stocks are still cheap. Major indices are all sporting P/E multiples below their multi-year averages right now, a signal that stocks have ample room to appreciate before equity prices get "expensive." An uptick in equity inflows in the last couple of months is critical too -- it indicates that cash is starting to move from the negative real rate environment of favored risk-free assets like treasuries and back into the positive real returns of stocks again. That's why we're taking a look at a new set of Rocket Stock names today. >>5 Toxic Stocks to Sell Before It's Too Late For the uninitiated, "Rocket Stocks" are our list of companies with short-term gain catalysts and longer-term growth potential. To find them, I run a weekly quantitative screen that seeks out stocks with a combination of analyst upgrades and positive earnings surprises to identify rising analyst expectations, a bullish signal for stocks in any market. After all, where analysts' expectations are increasing, institutional cash often follows. In the last 185 weeks, our weekly list of five plays has outperformed the S&P 500 by 74.4%.

Wanted a printer that had a service persons reputation as being outstandingly reliable. Kyocera has the reputation. So I investigated models and made my choice. I have not had it long but I am very happy with the print quality. Further it does everything I want. Duplex; network; AirPrint; scan to directory, all were standard features.
It did take me some time setting up the network, and scan to directory etc. Honestly I wish the instructions were clearer.
To say I am happy with my printer is an understatement. I am thrilled.
Never in my life have I had an order arrive so fast at my door after placing an order online. It was delivered in 4 hours. Unmatched service to boot.

Rahul always makes baseless sppeches: BJP
| Updated: Dec 22, 2016 14:00 IST
Patna [India], Dec. 22 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday dismissed the allegation of Congress party's vice president Rahul Gandhi that Sahara paid nine times to Prime Minister Modi in six months. BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain told ANI on Thursday that these ridiculous allegations were being made in the wake of the Chandigarh BJP unit winning the municipal corporation polls recently. "Rahul Gandhi is insulting the country by making offense on Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi," Hussain told ANI. "As far as a particular allegation is concerned, there was an NGO of Mr. Prashant Bhushan, which had gone to the Supreme Court on the same case. The Supreme Court had heard the case and a two-judge bench had delivered its observations, saying that no investigation can be ordered because of the unsubstantiated allegations and on unsubstantiated allegations, the highest Constitutional authority of the country cannot be questioned in the way that you are trying to question, the Congress Party and vice president Rahul Gandhi while warding off allegations levelled that Sahara people paid nine times to Prime Minister Modi in six months," he added. On Wednesday, Gandhi said, "Demonetisation move wasn't made against corruption or black money. It was against the honest poor people. Don't know why Modi ji did not target 94 percent of black money but the other six percent," he said while addressing a rally here. Referring to the writing off of Vijay Mallya's loan by the government, Gandhi said, "Modi ji cannot bring back money taken as loans by one percent rich people and hence he is using the money of poor to waive of this debt. When the Switzerland Government has given you the list of names of people having black money deposited in Swiss bank then why are you not disclosing their names in Parliament?" Gandhi said that Prime Minister Modi's aim is to keep the common man's money in banks for at least six-seven months so that he can waive off the loans of rich. Speaking on the impact of demonetisation on farmers, Gandhi said, "A farmer does not purchase his seeds by cheque or card, but in cash. You (PM Modi) have taken away that cash from them." Gandhi's rally comes a fortnight after Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a farmers' gathering in the same district, where he accused the Opposition of not allowing him to speak in Parliament over demonetisation. Mehsana is Prime Minister Modi's home district. It is also the economic hub of north Gujarat, where the Congress has a stronghold. (ANI)

Ok so yesterday got busy and I have to post the rest of the vacation in a second post. Here's a picture of the falls mentioned yesterday. It really was a beautiful place and the sound of the falls was just extraordinary. I took video and if I ever figure out how to post it, I will (Is there a "Posting video to internet for Dummies book?)
There were actually 2 waterfalls there. Above is the second fall. Below is the first. The area between them was shallow enough for a person to walk between them. The kids there were walking out to the top of the second fall and jumping off of it. It scared me at first because I didn't know how deep it was at the bottom of the fall.
Here's Gooey and I sitting on the rocks enjoying watching the falls. I can't help but sneak smooches whenever I can.
On our way leaving the falls, we caught this couple relaxing in their Hillbilly Hot Tub. We cracked up over this. I realize it was a really smart way to keep cool (it was so hot out) but how redneck can you get? The ducks were even swimming in amongst them.
This is Inspiration Point. It's a small spot on the side of the road with a plaque where someone dubbed in Inspiration Point. It's really a spectacular view. For those old enough to remember Happy Days, I did make Hubster give me a kiss.
After leaving Joplin, we took a wrong turn and ended up in Galena, Kansas. It was ok because we got to see some really nice houses (in the mulitmillion $ range) plus we drove on Old Rte 66. It amazes me how narrow highways were back then especially since cars were so much larger.
Our next stop was Ozark Village. It was the same as Ozarkland but a different name. We bought a shot glass for the collection.
We arrived in Springfield at about 8 and spent the rest of the evening resting and visiting with the IL's.
Saturday morning we went to the Green County Fair. I didn't take a lot of pictures. Let's just say it was too hot to do much. Bubba and I petted our first bull (we asked first and were told to do it very gently because bulls get aggitated easily. Who knew?). We walked through the stalls and looked at the cows, horses, and sheep. We met a woman with her 5 mth old cow that took 1st place the day before in her category. You know how they say people and their dogs start to look alike? Well, evidently it applies to people and their cows too.
You can see how hot it was at the fair by the looks on Gooey and Bubba's faces. Well, not so much Gooey. He was having a blast. Bubba griped the whole time about how bored he was.
Isn't Bubba's new hat just so cool?
Sunday, we ended our trip with a leisurely drive up Hwy 65 to Sedalia (where we stopped at the Russell Stover's outlet store. I think I gained 10 lbs just sniffing the air.) We drove through Knob Noster hoping Whiteman Airforce Base would be flying maneuvers but weren't so lucky. Whiteman is home to the Stealth Bomber and if you've never seen one in flight, you're missing out.
Our last stop was at a small ma n pa shop. I bought a neat little thing that hangs in your kitchen to hold plastic bags from the grocery store. You put them in the top then they dispense out the bottom. It's such a simple gadget but works so well. I also bought some seasonings.
The vacation was so much fun. We left the dog at home with the nieces because I didn't want to take the chance of leaving him tied to the bumper and forgetting. We also made it a point to not visit any aunts for fear they would want to ride along.

Go there after rush hour!
After touring Onomichi, you might find yourself a bit hungry. I'd like to introduce you to Onomichi ramen at the popular, "Shuukaen" restaurant. Occasionally, you'll find up to 50 people lined up just before opening time at 11 a.m. We arrived around 2pm and luckily didn't have to wait!
The tasty broth made from chicken bones and pork back fat is superb!
"Onomichi ramen" is a general term known throughout the east side of Hiroshima Prefecture. The broth is made using chicken bones and soy sauce and the pork back fat makes it thicker. You'll find that some shops use broth made from small fish caught in the Inland sea, but Shuukaen uses chicken, pork back fat, and soy sauce. The slices of roasted pork are so tender and tasty and the noodles go very well with the thick soup.
We easily finished off a plate of Gyoza!
Decide what to eat before entering!
Shuukaen is so popular that they sometimes run out of ingredients and have to close early. They'll come to take your order before seating you, so it's better to decide what to eat before entering. Once your served, please enjoy, but be careful not to burn your tongue, because it's very hot! You should also be polite and leave once you finish, because other people will be waiting for a table.
4-12 Toyohi Motomachi, Onomichi-shi, Hiroshima Prefecture

When someone wants to bring in dozens of customers — will you say yes?
September 7, 2010
Laura van Straaten saw someone save a life on an NYC sidewalk with CPR. The amazing experience inspired her to take classes to learn the live-saving skill — but after searching in vain for a course that was convenient and inexpensive, she decided to do something more ambitious: Make it easier for everyone to get […]

Testimonies: Demonic Possession
"A gentleman came with a demonic possession, couldnât sleep for months, in the middle of the night his wife said he levitated and spoke with a horrible voice, and his oxygen was on 80% max, no one could help him, until his wife brought him to our Healing Room. We pray for him and instantly he did recover his freedom, salvation and health. He is completely free going to church every Sunday and his oxygen maintained in 96%. Him and his wife became saved by letting come in into their hearts and let Him stay forever.To God be the glory!"
- Oscar N. on January 7th, 2018
"I have recently endured the tragic deaths of three of my loved ones. In all of this, I chose to turn my back on my Savior in an attempt to calm my pain & anger. Due to my choices, I knew I had opened my life up to demonic attack. I began to feel very sad, exhausted, and suicidal. This was completely contradictory to my normal behavior. Also, I began to feel movement like a cloud in my face. I knew that I was experiencing demonic activity. After researching online, God quickly orchestrated my contact with old friends who were ministering at the Healing Room. They had already heard about what I was going through with the passing of loved ones and had been praying for me! The wife told me exactly what I needed to do in order to be delivered. She also (with my permission) called prayer warriors to pray for me throughout the day. I spent my day before God. I claimed my rank as his daughter, pleaded the blood of Jesus on each of my sins/people I needed to forgive, and I confessed lies I had been believing. All demonic oppression stopped that day! I continued to keep a short account of those three things. (received ministry on 4/2017) - A.B. 8/15/2017"
- A B. on August 20th, 2017
"Deliverance is often uncomplicated and so subtle - that those delivered seem unaware of anything but an experience of shifting from various tensions to immediate peaceful freedom! Changed in an instant from a distorted kind of image of who they thought they had become (disorderly behaviors), to who they really are (free). Surprised and glad are they! Thankful for Holy Spirit who equips our ministers to SEE!"
- N. S. on March 17th, 2017
"Deliverance is occurring regulary. Praise God!"
- N. on September 17th, 2015
"Deliverance is happening regularly - so profound are the changes seen in people, and yet, it's as if they really don't recognize what occurred. It is at the same time seemingly subtle, and yet so obvious (to those with ability to spiritually see). The inner changes are Great! They're like dumbfounded, (for a lack of better words), as to what took place. What those being delivered notice is the immediate peace and freedom experienced that result. No longer blind by the lies of the enemy, they begin to understand things in new perspectives."
- N. S. on August 14th, 2016
"Visitor returns with testimony: Again he has been healed! And this time - life restored. This sweet little dog has experienced physical, spiritual, & emotional abuses - life seemed to be fading away. Fortunately his owner takes authority, inviting us to join together in prayer! It's such a treat to us, here at Healing Rooms of Idaho Falls, to witness the loving mercy of God for all of his creation! "
- S. L. on January 19th, 2017
"I heard about The Healing Room at church. I was living with my boyfriend and we talked about going to the Healing Room. One Thursday night we attended and it changed our lives forever. Our first experience, we felt healed and so much lighter. We knew we wanted and needed more healing. We knew we were just beginning. I had lots of demons to deal with - drugs, pre-marital sex, anger issues. I had already stopped using drugs (cocaine) but I was fighting the demons to return to drugs, hate, anger, un-forgiveness. Inner healing appointments prayed me through u-forgiveness, anger and hatred. The first inner healing was life changing. After leaving I could clearly hear God. I realized He had been talking to me since I was 17. My personality changed. I became sweeter, calmer, humble, willing to serve with all anger and hatred gone. A peace came over me that I was totally delivered from drugs (a battle of 13 years). I was delivered from hatred, anger, lying pre-marital sex with a whole personality change. Now I am happy, peaceful, joyful, content where I am. RESTORED."
- Artina on April 14th, 2014
"Many years ago my husband brought me a carved, wooden box from Namibia. There were faces carved on top of it. One night,while sleeping, I had a dream of a lady clothed in black and with a black hat on her head. Two "monsters" appeared with round faces and big nostrils and with very long tongues that seemed as if it could roll up. There was a fence between me and these figures. I tried to hit them with a hammer, but in vain. Then I woke up. I realised that the figures in my dream were demons and they resembeled the carvings on the box. The Lord showed me to burn the box, which I did. All demonic attacks disappeared."
- Lynette P. on September 10th, 2012
"I was delivered from demonic oppression last week (11/13/08). This released my body from pain and hurt. God is good all the time and He is on the throne!"
- Danielle F. on November 19th, 2008
"I was prayed for and confessed an open door. The darkness came out of me and a light came onto me. I was set free. My mind is free. There is no more confusion. I was able to forgive myself. I believe with my whole heart that I am healed in my body. I will never be the same again, I had so much joy I couldn't stop laughing. Thank you, Jesus!!! Also when I used a prayer cloth and put it over my chest/throat area I vertually stopped coughing. Before I had a deep raspy cough. I feel so much peace and freedom. Praise you Jesus! "

Back from Brazil is Dr Luiz Silva where he and his team were presented with the Odebrecht Award for Sustainable Development on October 25 at the Tomie Othake Institute, São Paulo. The award is given out annually by one of Brazil's major construction companies for projects developed with undergraduate research students that support sustainable development. Luiz and his team (four research students) won the award for a project that aims to mitigate the impact of hydro-turbines (hydropower) on fish mortality.
Ramsar Chair for the Wise Use of Wetlands
Institute Director Professor Max Finlayson is the Ramsar Chair for the Wise Use of Wetlands, a position that is part of a collaborative agreement between the Ramsar Convention Secretariat, Charles Sturt University and the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, based in The Netherlands. A recent interview (with Associate Professor of Environmental Systems Analysis, Anne van Dam) which appears on the IHE Delft's web page explains what the position means, its key activities to date and what is next.
Myanmar project partnership opportunities
Prof Ken Irvine from UNESCO-IHE, The Netherlands, and Prof Doug Shaw from The Nature Conservancy, Minnesota, USA were in Albury Feb 7-9 to discuss Myanmar project partnership opportunities. The meeting, hosted by ILWS, brought together experts with specialties in economic development, fisheries, sediment, river flow, wetlands, sustainable development, to consider opportunities for Basin scale planning for Myanmar. The team from CSU/UNESCO/TNC spent three days in detailed discussions regarding potential research priorities on water and land development issues in Myanmar. They settled on four thematic areas for further development and are planning to visit Myanmar later this year to continue discussions with in-country stakeholders. The meeting was extremely productive and has set the scene for future international collaboration.
Dr Joanne Millar contributes to Fish Conservation Monitoring Workshop in Laos
Institute Adjunct Dr Joanne Millar attended a workshop in Vientiane from 7-8 November 2016 on the invitation of FISHBIO, a US company that conducts research and development on fisheries.
They are developing a guidebook on how to monitor effectiveness of fish conservation zones in the Mekong region. Participants identified suitable indicators (social, ecological and governance) to measure, and methods that would be appropriate for local communities.
The guidebook will be tested at a few sites in Laos in 2017 and released in 2018. For more information go to http://fishbio.com/field-notes/the-fish-report/vital-signs-assessing-health-fish-conservation-zones

Soibada, within the Manatuto region.
Meeting with High Commissioner
On October 6, 2016 members of the research team for the project Improving groundwater management to enhance farming livelihoods in Pakistan team met with Her Excellency, High Commissioner of Pakistan, Naela Chohan.
Visitors from Brazil
In July the Institute welcomed Visiting Academic Professor Luiz Silva, who is on sabbatical from the Federal University of Sao Joao del-Rei (UFSJ) in Minas Gerais, Brazil for 18 months. Professor Silva, a fish ecologist, is based at the Albury-Wodonga campus and will be working with colleague Dr Lee Baumgartner. The two are members of a global program, the International Energy Agency Technology Collaboration Program on Hydropower - Annex XIII: Hydropower and Fish - of which Australia and Brazil are both members. Accompanying Professor Silva is his wife Lorena Nogueira, who is doing a PhD on fish eggs and larval drift with Latrobe University. Her co-supervisors include Drs Baumgartner and Paul Humphrey.
Environment Canada
Dr Wayne Robinson spent five weeks in June/July on secondment in Environment Canada's Bio-assessment office in Vancouver, Canada. While there, Dr Robinson was involved in reviewing and refining some of the multivariate statistical procedures used in the Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN). The network is an aquatic biomonitoring program for assessing the health of fresh water ecosystems in Canada.
Fish tagging in Laos
Dr Lee Baumgartner and Honours student Bettina Grieve spent a week in Laos at the beginning of June implanting microchips (PIT tags) into Mekong catfish and barbs as part of a collaborative effort between Charles Sturt University, Living Aquatic Resources Research Centre (Laos), National University of Laos and Research Institute for Aquaculture (Vietnam). The work is a critical component of Bettina's honours project and she spent 40 days in country monitoring which technique was most effective.
Breaking new ground in Laos
The Lao fish migration team facilitated the installation of the first-ever fish-friendly irrigation gate in the Lower Mekong Basin earlier this year. Gate installation on June 24, followed four years of targeted R&D. Researchers initially investigated deficiencies with existing designs in Laos and determined that existing designs resulted in substantial injury and mortality when operated normally. The team did targeted research to identify which aspects of gate design created fish welfare issues. The team then worked with Australian company, AWMA Solutions, and local Lao irrigation experts to come up with a design that created much smoother flow conditions.
The project, Improving the design of irrigation infrastructure to increase fisheries production in floodplain wetlands of the Lower Mekong and Murray-Darling Basins, is being led by Dr Craig Boys from Fisheries NSW but includes ILWS members Lee Baumgartner, Jarrod McPherson and Wayne Robinson as co-investigators.

Celebrations, farewells and welcomes
The morning tea held on Tuesday August 5 in the School of Environmental Sciences' tearoom was an ideal opportunity to welcome (and farewell) a couple of our international students and graduates. Dr Binod Prasad Devkota, a former ILWS PhD student from Nepal, was back in Australia for a few weeks to catch up with his family (his daughter is a CSU Masters student studying nursing) and colleagues. Binod, who works for Nepal's Department of Forests has been combating illegal forest harvesting in that country. Mohan Poudel is heading back to Nepal and his job also with Nepal's Department of Forests after three and a half years in Australia. Mohan, a PhD student supervised by Dr Rik Thwaites, Dr Digby Race and Dr Ganga Ran Dahal submitted his thesis today on " Examining livelihood implications of REDD+ through community forestry in Nepal". Mohan already has had one paper published, another accepted and done a conference paper based on his research. We also welcomed Inam Ahmed, originally from Bangladesh, who is getting a "head start" on the PhD he will be starting later this year. Inam, who will be supervised by Dr Andrew Hall, A/Prof Robyn Watts and Dr Geoff Vietz, from Melbourne University, works in the field of hydrological modelling.
Drs Joanne Millar and Rosemary Black from ILWS partnered with the Council for Renewable Resources Research in Bhutan to deliver a five day training course on social research skills to twenty reaserchers in Thimpu, from 7 to 11 April 2014.
Australian Landcare helps fish in Laos
The Lao Fish Passage project got a much needed boost from links with Landcare. On World Environment Day 2014 near the tiny village of Pak Peung nestled on the banks of the mighty Mekong River in Laos, local government officials, University researchers, fisheries scientists and villagers pitched in and planted 500 trees and grasses to stabilise the banks of the new Fish Passage.
Wetland Research Meeting in China
From May 3 to 13, Prof Max Finlayson attended a meeting hosted by the Institute for Wetland Research, China Academy of Forestry, in Beijing, China, to develop a briefing note on the potential of REDD+ on wetland management globally on behalf of the Ramsar Convention's Scientific Technical Review Panel. While there he interacted with Chinese researchers on climate change topics, including the Institute for Wetland Research's director Professor Cui, a colleague of Prof Finlayson who visited the Institute in November 2013.
(REDD+ stands for the United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries.)
"REDD+ is a contentious topic for managing forested ecosystem," said Prof Finlayson. "So we were examining what are the implications for managing wetlands, what are the issues, and will it be contentious because it extends to the benefits people get from these ecosystems. "We are looking at whether or not it can be applied to forested wetlands such as mangroves in developing countries."
The information gathered will be presented as an information paper to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands.
Michelle Olivier, whose PhD is on "Exploring the relationship between sustainability and localisation" spent six weeks in Bhutan late 2013 working with the Gross National Happiness Commission in Thimpu at the Dzong, where the King and senior government ministers sit.
While in Bhutan she interviewed people throughout the country and helped collate the data required to calculate Ecological Footprinting (EF) for the country at both the national level, and for and each of Bhutan's 20 districts.
Visit by Mistletoe specialist
Professor Robert Mathiasen, visiting academic and forest pathologist from Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona gave a seminar at the Albury Wodonga campus on March 28. on the interrelationship between dwarf mistletoe and fire and its impact on wildlife species. He is also visiting colleague A/Prof David Watson.
Economic, social and environmental issues in international tourism
International early career researchers continue to flock to the Border region, with research students from Indonesia, China, Nepal, Bhutan, India, Canada and Ghana commencing research Doctorate and Master degrees during 2011. Mr Patrick Cobbinah came from Ghana in West Africa to Albury in July to explore how economic, social and environmental issues could be integrated in the planning of ecotourism activities in Ghana.
Linking ecology in China and Australia
Professor Cao was working at ILWS as part of her three month visit to Australia oin 2011, developing a cooperative project proposal with ILWS director Professor Max Finlayson and ILWS researchers on a model for wetland restoration and management in China to address the marked deterioration of wetlands in the giant Yangtze River basin.
International view of managing water resources
Scientists and administrators from India visited the Border in August 2011 to investigate how Australia is addressing the sometimes conflicting uses for limited water resources. ILWS hosted the group, from Loktak in Manipur state and Chilika, Bhubaneswar, for their three-day visit to CSU in Albury-Wodonga and surrounding natural and artificial wetlands.
Visitors from Loktak, Manipur India and Albury Mayor Cr Alice Glachan at Wonga Wetlands.
"Indian wetland managers face competing interests for water resources, such as hydro-electricity, irrigation, domestic supply and the environment, which we are also addressing in the Murray Darling Basin. This is a great opportunity for both countries to learn how we can more effectively manage our water resources for all our users," said ILWS director, Professor Max Finlayson.
Why is the direct role of plants and water in the climate change debate ignored?
Visiting international academic, Dr Jan Pokorný, has been on a mission to have plants and how they cycle water, brought forward in the climate change debate.
Visiting the Institute for 3 weeks in March 2011 he made two special presentations of his research to CSIRO and the Institute. (Presentation) He has co-authored a book called "Water for Recovery of the Climate" (www.waterparadigm.org) and also directs ENKI, a public benefit corporation focussed on applied research of environmental issues ( http://www.enki.cz/index.php?l=en ).

Why You Need a Good Renovation Contract
An old post that is worth re-publishing:
For less than 1/2% of the value of the project, we hammered out a contract that spelled out the understanding of the parties. It is in compliance with local law, so the contractor is protected. In fact, the homeowner told me that the contractor was willing to chip in and help pay for my fee. Discussing the contract terms helped the homeowner further define the scope of the project and a realistic payment schedule.
We discussed what would happen if change orders were necessary and how they would be handled. The homeowner decided what would constitute an unreasonable delay. Problems were anticipated and dealt with preemptively.
This experience was in huge contrast to the usual scenario in my practice. I receive a call from a desperate contractor or homeowner and things are going terribly wrong. It is usually too late to get the project back on course, and on some level, everybody loses. That is why I started this blog; to serve as preventative medicine, and to encourage more people to take my client's approach from last week. This may be the best money he has spent so far to ensure a successful home improvement project.

Most people have heard Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous poem, The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. Many also know that this famous ride took place the night before the American Revolution began. But do you know about the events that led up to this important war in our nation's history? The British colonies fought for their independence from England for a number of reasons-including taxation without representation in England's Parliament. Within this book, you will learn exactly what drove the colonists to wage war against their mother country-and also what helped them gain important advantages even before war broke out.
As the 50th anniversary of the 1963 march for Civil Rights in Washington, D.C. approaches, this timely book looks at its organization, the key players, and why it is still relevant today.
Detailed black-and-white illustrations in the style of old political cartoons add to the historical theme of this book. Readers identify cause and effect as they learn about the early years of our republic.
Describes the events leading up to and including the exploration and settlement of places which became driving forces in the expansion of America.
Describes the events of September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.
Explores the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.and how that event has sculpted societies, the sciences, and politics.

Every so often I come across LGBT signs and pictures on the internet that grabs my attention. Some are funny mostly because they are true. Here are some of the most recent ones I stumbled upon.
"The delightful and dreary sides of gay life. The views and experiences of a thirty something guy trying to navigate his way through life. Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, but always entertaining."

After I had my son I ate salad and drank plenty of water for 6 weeks and I lost 30 pounds of baby weight. Some how I don't really think that will work this time. I'm not as big with my current baby as I was with my son. So far I'm 4 and half months and I've only gained 7 pounds. Which I think is pretty good. But I want to know what are some of the things that you did to help you lose weight and get back to your pre-baby weight and body?

When it comes to illustrations and character design, Adam Hughes is one of those artists who truly combines the best of old and new. A comic book illustrator by trade, Hughes often has to imagine bizarre and futuristic garbs to adorn beloved superheroic characters. Where his creations differ from most, however, is in the classical beauty of the women he depicts. Each female is radiantly attractive while hearkening back to the aesthetics seen in Vargas-era pin-up models. This fusion of old and new visuals leaves viewers in awe as they feel trapped somewhere between the future and the past.
For those unacquainted, Adam Hughes is an Atlanta-based artist whose impressive client list includes the likes of DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Warner Bros. Pictures, Lucasfilm, Playboy magazine and much more.

"Interest rate derivatives pricing when the short rate is a continuous time finite state Markov process"
The purpose of this presentation is to price financial products called "interest rate derivatives", namely financial instruments in which the owner of the contract has the right to pay or receive an amount of money at a fixed interest rate in a specific future date.
The pricing of these products is here obtained by assuming that the spot rate (i.e. the interest rate at which a person or an institution can borrow money for an infinitesimally short period of time) is considered as a stochastic process characterized by "absence of memory" (i.e. a time-continuous Markov chain). We develop a pricing model inspired by work of Filipovic'-Zabczyk which assumes the spot rate to be a discrete-time Markov chain: we extend their structure by considering, instead of deterministic time points, the random time points given by the jump times of the spot rate as they occur in the market. We are able to price with the same approach several interest rate derivatives and we present some numerical results for the pricing of these products.

DES Draft Wetland Rules CC Meeting Scheduled for January 10th
As you are aware, the NHACC has been heavily involved with the wetland rule change process. We participated in numerous stakeholder groups throughout the summer. DES has requested a meeting with conservation commission members to address some of the issues raised in our letter. The brainstorming session will be held at DES on Thursday, January 10th from 1 to 3 pm.
DES has stated that they do not have the staff or resources to continue the review process they currently have. The intention was to allow more minimum impacts to be permitted quickly so that staff could focus on wetland functions and values impacted by standard permits. Our members have concerns about the cumulative impacts of speedy approval of minor projects. We wanted to take this opportunity to share our concerns in the event you wish to provide comments during the public hearing and/or through reaching out to your local representatives. Please review the talking points below and consider adding any of your experience with wetland permits to the concerns below. The comment period is scheduled to end on January 18, 2019.
The following are a list of our major areas of concern:
You can find a copy of our letter to Commissioner Scott through this link.
Bills to Watch in 2018
We work in the legislature and on state committees to ensure that your conservation commission is informed. We are keeping an eye on the legislature and tracking proposed bills that would affect conservation commissions or natural resources in NH. Check out our 2018 Legislative Session Spreadsheet for a list of bills we are tracking.
HB1104-FN This bill proposes reductions in regulatory permits, including Dredge and Fill application timelines and includes many other changes to administrative procedures. The Executive Departments and Administration has recommended that the bill passes with an amendment. NHACC worked closely with the Governor's legal council to ensure that conservation commissions have the ability to request an extension to the 40 day wetland permit review process. The House concurred with changes made by the Senate to HB1104 Senate Amendment. The final version will likely be signed by the Governor.
SB 48: Establishing a commission to study efficiency and effectiveness of the Fish & Game Commission & Department has been signed by the Governor. Final Version
Bills Referred to Interim study
HB1749 Relative to the state's authority to prohibit or regulate firearms and relative to the selectmen's authority to manage town property. This is a concern to conservation commissions because town conservation land often prohibits firearms. This bill examines the authority to prohibit firearms on town land.
HB1343 Relative to the protection of beaver. This bill adds provisions for the protection of beavers and beaver dams and requires the executive director of the fish and game department to include advice on beaver control on its public website This bill has been Referred to Interim Study.
HB486 Relative to the protection of wetlands. This bill identifies and defines different types of wetlands protected under the Wetlands Protection Act. This bill proposes a state wide buffer for high value wetlands, " A natural vegetation buffer of 100 feet shall be maintained from the mapped edge of all high value wetlands, except wetlands within 50 feet of, and hydrologically connected to, a Tier 3 or larger stream, as defined in department rules, which shall have a buffer of 50 feet, measured from the ordinary high water mark of the stream, plus an additional 25 feet from the edge of the wetland."
The bills proposed to study current use have now been laid on the table.
HB 1210: An ACT establishing a committee to study the effect of current use taxation on small and rural communities. NHACC opposes this bill and provided written testimony at public hearing. This bill would not introduce any legislation for 2018, but the study committee could have a big impact on current use. SB405 is another current use study bill that could impact the protection of open space. The Amendment to SB 405 changed the bill to study current use taxation on small and rural municipalities. Both of these bills have now been laid on the table which means the House or Senate may vote again on the bill someday, but for now the bill has been set aside. If the session ends and the bill has not been taken off the table, the bill dies.
HB 1585 would have inserted the words "or a Natural Resources Inventory" in RSA 36-A. It was voted Inexpedient to Legislate by the full House in March. Since NHACC has always interpreted the word "index" in RSA 36-A:2 to also refer to a Natural Resources Inventory (NRI), this bill would not have changed the way we operate or support conservation commissions.

The Piscataqua Region Estuaries Partnership, Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, and the NH Association of Conservation Commissions are proud to present the 8th workshop in the Board Empowerment Series – Floodplain Management 101: Improving Flood Resiliency in Your Community in partnership with the NH Office of Strategic Initiatives. The workshop is designed for members of conservation commissions and municipal boards.
Registration Email Steve Miller (email@example.com) to register with your name, position, organization, and contact information (email and phone). Registration is free, with a suggested $5 donation.
The NHACC Board of Directors is pleased to announce the selection of Barbara Richter as its new Executive Director. Barbara will lead the organization, and provide assistance and direct support to NHACC members. Prior to NHACC, Barbara worked at W.S. Badger Company where she was responsible for regulatory compliance.
"The support NHACC provides to NH conservation commissions is critical to successful natural resource protection in the state. The strength of the conservation movement in NH comes from the unity of its many amazing citizen groups, government agencies and non-profit organizations," said Barbara. "I look forward to providing valuable technical support to NH cities and towns and advising their conservation commissions."
Barbara's background uniquely qualifies her to assume the role as the NHACC Executive Director. Her extensive experience in land conservation includes working at the Forest Society's Center for Land Conservation Assistance where she supported local and regional land trusts with their land protection initiatives. Barbara also worked at the Monadnock Conservancy in the role of both Stewardship Coordinator and Membership Coordinator. She has first-hand experience with conservation commissions as a previous chair of the Surry Conservation Commission and a member of the City of Keene Conservation Commission. She understands the required duties of conservation commissions and is familiar with the challenges faced by both small towns and cities.
Barbara received her master's degree in environmental studies from Antioch New England University and her bachelor's degree in fine arts from Syracuse University. She lives in Keene with her husband and two children.
We've just received word from Governor Hassan's office. She's vetoed SB 324, and we couldn't be happier!

At the March 1965 Town Meetings, 18 towns established conservation commissions, including Bedford, Center Harbor, Durham, Epsom, Exeter, Francestown, Gilford, Hampton, Hampton Falls, Hollis, Hooksett, Littleton, Meredith, New London, Rindge, Rye, Salem and Sunapee. 50 years later we are still adding towns to the statewide list! Say hello to Roxbury, our state's newest conservation commission! With a population just a little over 200 residents, Roxbury is one of NH's smallest communities, but is certainly not without a passion for conservation! I asked Amy Bodwell, one of the organizing members, a few questions about how they got started:
How did the idea to form a conservation commission come about?
I served on a Conservation Commission in Brookfield, IL for 10 years and loved it. I was disappointed Roxbury did not have one after moving here. But I ended up as head of the Planning Board and didn't think about it again until Tom Duston [NHACC Board Member & Chesterfield Conservation Commission] approached me to see if we were interested. We are starting to collect wildlife information as Roxbury is under reported at the state level so we were already engaged in that activity.
What do you think you might do first?
We have not met officially but the group of us talked about building a working relationship with the Keene Conservation Commission. Keene owns about 2700 acres of land in the middle of Roxbury for their watershed. We also talked about marking the town boundaries. We would like to do a natural resource inventory and that also means a good relationship with Keene. We hope to get better acquainted with easements as all the land in Roxbury is privately held other than the Keene land and we want to encourage people to consider those or be available if someone needs information. The town does not own any land except around town hall.
Why is conservation important for Roxbury?
The town is tiny and everyone wants to keep the rural characteristic here. Many of the folks I know here are into conservation. Whether a conservation commission is critical like it is in many towns, I'm not sure, but it feels good to be starting one.

The Trust for Public Land released their much-anticipated report on NH's Return on Investment in Land Conservation. This study provides a fantastic resource for conservation commissions looking to promote and support land conservation efforts in their towns.
50 years go the NH Legislature passed the enabling legislation for conservation commissions. Towns began forming commissions the following year.
We need your help: When did your community vote to form a conservation commission? Were you the first? Is your commission the newest in the state? To celebrate this important milestone, we'll display copies of your warrant articles at the NHACC Annual Meeting.
Please contact the NHACC office if you don't know what year to start; we have an idea of when most commissions started. You'll need to research the town reports from the year of formation and the following year. Send us a photocopy or scan of the warrant language (year of passage) and any related discussion (minutes of the previous year's meeting).
You can send us the documents in two ways: Email us scans of the relevant pages or snail mail copies to NHACC, 54 Porstmouth Street, Concord, NH 03301.
Have fun and thanks for your help!
NHACC is the only organization specifically serving the needs of conservation commissions in New Hampshire.

Bukkake Ranch v1.03 Patch
An update has been created to address some issues users have been experiencing with Bukkake Ranch. The patch changes are as follows:
1.03 Changes
– Incorrect item requirement checks on the synthesis recipes for the Year's Supply of Boob Balls and Fluffy Helm of Wind could allow you to create the items without all the requirements, putting your item counts in the negatives.

– If you've managed to put your item count to negative, the game will self correct next time you go to the synthesis screen or perform gathering.
1.02 Changes
– Corrected incorrect item requirement check on the Directionless Compass.
– H-Scenes triggered by obtaining the Holey Bikini, Pheromone Lure, and Directionless Compass will no longer fail to play if you've obtained more than one of the required items. Players who were stuck unable to complete the ero-armor requirements should be able to do so now.
1.01 Changes
– Fixed the Holey Bikini H-Scene appearing in Japanese.
– Fixed an issue where the game could sometime crash during play and corrupt save games.
Users downloading the game October 22st 2013 or later should already have the latest version (you can check your game version while playing in the Help->Version Info menu).
