Study Abroad in Rome: Courses
View and print all course descriptions
Italian language course levels are determined by placement tests to ensure the appropriate level. Since language demands are challenging, students may be placed in a level lower than requested. Students are advised to gain pre-approval for several levels of Italian from their home institution in order to ensure that they receive credit for the level they are placed into after the placement test. A minimum enrollment of 10 is required to confirm a course. Semester credits are shown in parentheses.
Please note that not all courses listed will run; in order for a course to be offered, there must be enough interest generated from the preliminary course forms.
Courses may change and new courses may be available.
From Fall 2017 onwards, courses offered at Richmond's Italian Study Centers will adopt a revised 4-digit model rather than the 3-digit conventional U.S. course numbering used in this chapter. This change has already been made on the University's London campuses. A course code comparison spreadsheet will be provided for the use of students and advisors at the Italian Study Centers - please contact the Admissions Officer.
Online Registration - Very Important
Students must register for all classes online at: www.richmondinrome.it.
Registration week is: June 5-12, 2017 (fall semester), November 6 - 13, 2017 (spring semester)
Traditional Academic Program
With the exception of Italian (which is required), courses are taught in English, Monday through Thursday plus some Fridays. New courses may be offered.
Italian Language
CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) level is indicated in parenthesis.
Conversation is a central part of every lesson. All students start with an intensive 2-credit course taught during the first month. For the remaining of the semester they choose between the Basic Spoken Italian (1 credit) or the upper continuation of previous level (4 credits).

The Music Program
For music majors who do not want to fall behind during a semester abroad, or for those with an interest in music, an exciting Music Program is available, taught in a multicultural environment in conjunction with Saint Louis College of Music, founded in 1976 and authorized to issue Bachelors and Masters degrees by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research. Students take up to 15 Richmond credits and may then take an additional music course.
As this program is taught by the Saint Louis College of Music, Richmond does not award the academic credit. Students receive a Saint Louis College of Music certificate authenticating work completed and should confirm the status of credit transfer for courses taken at Saint Louis with their home institution.
Music classes are taught in the evenings and do not conflict with the majority of the Richmond courses. Richmond students take their music classes in a truly international context, with Italian and other international students at Saint Louis College of Music, conveniently located in Monti neighborhood, just a short distance from the Richmond Center.
Instruction is in Italian, but all music instructors speak and understand the English language.
The Music Program at a Glance (up to 18 credits)
Intensive language classes during the first two weeks (2 credits)
Language classes for the continuation of the semester (1 or 4 credits)
Two to four other classes of your choice among the academic offer (6 to 12 credits)

One of these days, we hope to paint the kitchen a stormy, stony grey. But rather than live with dozens of grey paint swatches taped haphazardly to the wall, I thought it better to give all those samples a point (or three).
Poor Pinterest followers, you've been patiently putting up with months of pins simply labelled "triangles". I love them, the trinity of shapes, just as good right-angled as isosceles, stacked or built into squares.
Some recent favourites:
The pattern I finally settled on is a take on the "flying geese" pattern in quilting -- a pattern I have yet to attempt with fabric, but love the directionality of. If I remember anything from art teachers of yore, it's that every part of a painting works to lead your eye somewhere, and the overall effect can be static or dynamic -- dull or interesting.
Using triangles is perhaps rather an obvious way to explore that idea -- arrows for the eye to follow! -- but a nice base from which to play with colour. Greys, blacks, the palest of pinks... and a little red, of course.
Yes, that's a two-step tutorial -- cut triangle, stick triangle. Repeat.
Note: Glidden's paint samples are by far the best to make things out of, being large, solid squares of colour, without any fancy poke-a-part-out bits.
Also note: For the backing, I used a sheet of cut-it-yourself mat board. A large piece of paper would work as well, but I've lost the glass to my frame and need something a bit sturdier so there's no mid-section flop-down.
And a note for Justin: This has been up in the kitchen for four days now -- please notice soon!

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) Josh Woodrum connected with B.J. Farrow on a 40-yard touchdown pass with 1:27 to go and give Liberty a 24-21 upset over Coastal Carolina in a regular-season finale on Thursday night.
The Chanticleers had taken a 21-17 lead after Alex Ross threw to Chris Jones for an 83-yard completion and three plays later De'Angelo Henderson ran in from the 1 with 3:59 to go.
The Flames (6-5, 3-3 Big South) then drove 85 yards on seven plays for the game-winner. The drive included a fourth-and-8 completion from Ross to Darrin Peterson.
Coastal Carolina (9-2, 4-2) came in as the fourth-ranked FCS team in the country.
Woodrum finished 19 of 30 for 262 yards and two touchdowns.
Ross was 17 of 32 for 325 yards, a score and an interception. Six of his passes went to Chris Jones for 168 yards and a TD.

Even though it's over now. But because today is November 1st, this means CHRISTMAS TIME! And I know there will be an ongoing battle between those who believe Xmas time begins after Halloween, and those that believe it begins after Thanksgiving. What side are you on?
Here are some photos of my Halloween costume, my work dressed up as Toy Story, guess who I was? (Surprisingly, a lot of people had no idea. "/)
And a solo of Woody (David, my old roommate and bestie!)
I honestly had so much fun dressing up as someone evil, since my work decided on something I wasn't too thrilled about. That's okay though, next year we all decided on something horror, scary, gory, creepy, haunted, all of the above. I win!

Hi all, I'm back with another project, an altered box with floral punch flowers. A friend gave me several cute soap boxes to alter and give new life to. I covered up all the writing on the box with layered panels and that still left a lot of the boxes original colors and beautiful paper covering. Next I made the yellow roses and buds using the begonia punch from Punch Bunch.
It is a fun and quick recycle project and the gift box is a gift in itself! You will see more of the little boxes in the future, I so much fun making this one. Back later with another card that I made for an online course that I am taking.
EDIT TO ADD: Had a question about where I got the soap boxes, a friend gave them to me and I believe that she purchased the "designer" gift soaps w/boxes from Marshall's. So look over those sale aisles in these types of stores, you never will know what you will find that can be altered!
Comments are always welcome, I love hearing from all of you!! Post links to your recycled/altered projects in your comments!

Much of a garden's appeal lies in its ability to generate a feeling of complete peace and relaxation. For most people, this is one of the most important properties that a garden should possess. What better way to incorporate this than to have a water fountain centerpiece and steady flowing water that's music to everyone's ears?
This particular garden created by Fernhill Landscapes is the perfect escape if you just want to take the day off and unwind with the sound of steady flowing water. It was the winner of the 2003 International Landscape Design Gold Award for small residential design of APLD. Situated at the heart of the meditative garden is a beautifully constructed oriental zen-inspired fountain centerpiece with similar trimmings to its attached water works. The fountain carries a steady flow of water into the man-made riverlet. This exquisite award-winning garden can take the soul to a whole new dimension through a different kind of sensory experience, induced by the calming color scheme, balance of garden elements, and of course the stream of flowing water.
Subtle greens and a beautiful balance of textures, heights and shapes provide a perfect contrast to the natural warm and welcoming brown of the wooden water feature. The garden features some interesting plant life that make the entire garden come together. These include bamboo, boxwood, and ornamental grasses. Pebble linings are also placed to add more character to the already handsome garden. Mimicking the zen-inducing designs of the Orient, this garden is truly a perfect marriage of traditional and modern elements.

Tonight on my way home from work, a number called that I didn't recognize, but I answered the phone anyway. I didn't recognize the voice on the other end and judging by the way the person was talking, it was one of those one of those robots that call you and tell you you just won some phoney bologna contest. I was just about to say, "Oh. Shut up, robot!" and hang up, but just before the words came out of my mouth, I realized, OH MY GOD! It's my buddy, Johanna He-MAN-Way! My darling watercolour picture must be ready. *PHEW!* Good thing for that split second before I slammed the phone down on my friend.
Side note: You can't REALLY slam your phone down anymore. The old rotary phones were awesome to slam in a huff, but an iPhone? You're only hurting yourself and your phone if you're slamming that. Another great thing is made obsolete! Phone slamming! Modern living is so civilized.
Anyway, I got to pick up my beautifully framed watercolour tonight. Last Tuesday, I went over to the Framing Department at Michael's where Johanna works and carefully selected the red mat (which I love!) and the red frame (which I also love) with her. You can't tell from this photo, but the red mat has the texture of linen.
This cheerful picture is hanging front and centre in our kitchen. We will love seeing her granny bun and jack-o-lantern all year long.
Thanks again to Tami for the watercolour and to Johanna for making the perfect frame for my kitchen art!

While on the 10 commandments, here is a fairly old one from the Joy of Tech – but still relevant today.
Found these whilst I was stumbling around the web. You may have already seen them, but they're worth a laugh or two.

Haha! Very good.
Love the new theme btw. cool.
I have spent the last couple of days looking for a car for my 17 year old. It brought back memories of my first car, a 1980 Toyota Corolla station wagon that I bought in late 1983 at a cost of $3,000. That was quite a bit back then and I wasn't sure what we 'd get in our budgeted range of $2,500 to $3,500.
Well, we got an awesome car, with a lot of thanks to some friends from our church who more than looked after us. So much so that my daughter and I feel blessed and humbled.
What was fun was the joy I saw in my daughter's eyes as she looked upon her new car (of which she will pay 50%), but also the feeling I had that we were giving to her something that she will treasure.
It can't be compared to what our Heavenly Father has given to us, but I can appreciate even more what He gave when He sent Jesus to earth for all of mankind. His love compelled Him to send Jesus, just as our love for our daughter compelled us to help her acquire her first car.
With gifts comes responsibility, something my daughter will start to experience tomorrow when we take delivery of her car.
Tomorrow should see the delivery of our new Kindles, one each for my wife and I. I have internally debated whether I should acquire one, with the competition being the long rumoured Apple tablet, as I was really keen to see what Apple would do. The debate was finalised when the rumours began declaring that the price for the tablet would be over US$1,000 – some suggested as high as US$2,000.
We have literally hundreds of books – the legacy of a pastor married to a librarian, and space has become premium so the transition to digital books has been a no brainer for me. Over the past few years I have been buying eBooks for my various PDA's that I have owned, so I already have a good collection to place on the new Kindle even without buying any new books from Amazon.
A great way to convert existing eBooks (PDF's, Word Files etc) is to use Mobipocket Creator (Publisher). It's a Windows-only application which is drag and drop for file conversion. The only problem I have encountered is that it doesn't appear to work under virtualisation on my Mac. No dramas as I bring my work laptop home – the only time a dedicated Windows machine has been in my house for years!
The thought of having upwards of 1,500 of my books with me is a bit staggering, but I must confess there have been times when having access to my library when away from home would have been fantastic. Just as the iPod changed the way people listen to, and in many cases, purchase, music, I think the Kindle will do that with books. The fact the Amazon is now producing an international version of the Kindle will only increase the usage of digital books – only time will tell if society embraces digital books as they have digital music.
Over the years I have also subscribed to Time magazine as well as many others. I generally keep about 10-15 issues before I think that I need to throw them out (again due to space constraints), now this becomes a moot point as there are many magazines that can be subscribed to on the Kindle which I will be able to keep as reference material for years to come and can also keep on my laptop and desktop through the Kindle for Desktop application.
My two requests to Amazon are:
As the Kindle also allows for the spoken word as you drive, it could also diminish the need for the purchase of Audio Books. What is certain is that due to the close parity of the Aussie dollar to the US$, the cost of Kindle books has become about 50% of their print equivalent – another fine reason to add to that of the space saving benefits for purchasing and using a Kindle. So in summary, my key reasons to acquire a Kindle are:
I will give you my initial thoughts on using the Kindle after I have tried it for a couple of days – unfortunately you will have to wait. My wife says I can only use it after I open it for Christmas! I wished she believed in early presents.
Until then then, I will stick with reading my print books – I do have a few to get through that I have recently purchased.
Hello all,
My blog has changed address and can be found here at sustainingword.com
I was reading a blog that I regularly visit yesterday and stumbled upon instructions for creating audio books from any type of text file. It was so awesome that I put it out on Twitter early today and have been requested to "fill in the blanks".
First and foremost, credit goes to Rick Mansfield and his blog This Lamp. Unfortunately for you users of PC's and the multiple variants of Windows, this will not help you, but if your a Mac user you will find all the instructions here.
The example that Rick describes is converting a christian resource book into an audio book. Yet this method works for anything that contains text – I have created audio books from pdf files, Word docs and Pages docs, the list is endless.
One last thing that Rick doesn't mention is that when you have your new "Text to Speech" file in iTunes, you can then convert it into iTunes audio book format by running a script called Make Bookmarkable by Doug Adams and you can download the Apple Script here.
Rick in his post mentions how little time it takes to create an audio book from scratch. One of the ones that I created was The Lost Continent by Bill Bryson. The final product was an audio book that would take 10 hours and 54 minutes to listen through – total time to prepare and convert on my MacPro was about 8 minutes.
It's an absolutely awesome way to get audio books onto your iPod or iPhone. The possibilities are endless – I can see myself converting some of my daughter's Uni text books next year so she can listen to them as she commutes to Uni, rather than having to carry them with her.
I hope you enjoy exploring these unlimited possibilities. If you're a Windows user and you know of a way to do it on that platform, I'd love for you to share the secrets.
Happy audio book listening!
Come next January, I will have been married for 25 years – from research, that is a Silver Wedding Anniversary. What that goes to show is that my wife is a very understanding, gracious and generous person to have put up with me for so long without much complaining or attempting to remodel me too much.
So last week when she mentioned that she didn't really enjoy reading my posts about technology and stuff and that in future she would prefer more of the philosophical, what was I supposed to do?
It is so obvious, that I am surprised that you are waiting for my response.
Here's my response – I'm writing a philosophical post.
I just hope that your spouse loves you as mine does me.
A couple of days ago I started reading Andre Agassi's autobiography Open. It's really well written and so far I am about half way through the book – he has been dating Brooke Shields and just won the 1995 Australian Open, so I haven't read the confessions of his drug taking yet, but I have read about his infamous wig.
A number of things have stood out to me in the first half of the book, including:
I'm a Mac user, and proud of it. When I made the switch from Windows in 2004 the biggest challenge that confronted me was what bible study software would I use. For all of my Windows life (from 3.0 to XP) I had used various versions of QuickVerse and it's associated atlases and dictionaries.
Unfortunately for me, QuickVerse only came in a Windows version, and PC emulation at the time was terribly slow, so it was not an option for me to consider. I therefore had to find a new bible study software – there were a number of free/cheap options, but the standout was Accordance.
Now using Accordance was more a paradigm shift compared to switching to Mac and something that took some time to come to grips with. It was frustrating as it limited my ability to study and prepare messages, but over time I have come to appreciate it more and more – it's power in compiling searches from a huge array of resources is awesome. To me, Accordance, makes the complex simple – a bit like a great teacher of the Word.
Five years on, after attending a training seminar in Sydney, I love Accordance. Yet now, Logos has recently released Logos4, clearly their best offering yet.
The Mac version is currently in Alpha mode and it's fun to be a part of software development, whereas the Windows version is a complete release. With the advent of exceptional Windows virtualisation programs such as Parallels and VM Fusion, running a Windows bible study application is no longer a chore for Mac users.
The Windows version of Logos4 certainly has a Mac feel to it, but not quite. Yet is a great tool and has a great interface for students of the Word – powerful searching and great layout of resources for viewing. A neat bonus from Logos is that they have released an iPhone App that will sync your library with the phone – unfortunately, no information is presently able to be stored on the iPhone – it must by streamed over Wi-fi or 3G phone networks.
It's a great position for the modern Christian to find themselves in – two great bible study apps for either of your operating system of choice.
For me, I will use both as they do different things in some ways better than their competitor. But if I had to choose one, it would be Accordance, as there motto says, the bible is central.
So if you're in the market for new software, please consider Accordance and I Know you won't regret it. Go ahead, make the switch!
PS – if you don't want to leave Windows, Accordance provides an emulator so you run run Accordance on your Windows based machine.
Andrew Mercer, Dr. J, thislamp, and 1 other are discussing. Toggle Comments
Been looking at the accordance site. Looks very good. Which level of product do you have?
I'll check when I get home and let you know. I think I'm Library Collection – Standard
I use Logos as well, and find with Accordance it makes a powerful combination.
That said, there is no one with the quality of Accordance Bible for the Mac platform. When it comes to standards, Accordance is the one which sets the bar.

The Blood Host Detachment
Having played KD as a CAD and as a Blood Host I believe that the Blood Host is the only way to go but not one that is without cost. I can only comment on those units I was able to play so have no experience of Bloodcrushers, Skull Cannons, Maulerfiends etc as I don't have the models. However, after a couple of months using the army and these games I do have some thoughts about their relative Pro's and Con's...
Blood Host Pro's
- +1 Tithe every turn. This for me is why its such an effective formation. KD are strong where they can buff themselves with Tithe bonuses. That extra +1 gives you an amazing boost to Tithe generation. This commonly results in decent Tithe totals occurring by Turn 2 rather than much later in any game.
- Slaughter Cult Bonus Tithe - I interpret the rule to mean that this free bonus only applies to the Slaughtercult. But even so its a strong ability meaning you don't have to wait as long to build up points.
- Summoning - I think I summoned an average of 1-2 units per game over the weekend. One game in particular I brought on 4 units. They were great for taking objectives, forcing opponents to divert units to deal with them and wracking up Tithe points.
- Flexibility - the choice of Auxillary formations is quite good the Gorepack in particular being very strong. If I had the models I would run the Charnel Cohort as well.
- Cultists - love these guys. Each unit is basically worth 2 Tithe points minimum if you get them into combat - 1 for the Champion when he dies in the challenge and 1 for the unit. Plus with Mark of Khorne that get 4 attacks on the charge. Take them in a blob of 20+ and go nuts.
Blood Host Con's
- Mark of Khorne - Its not universal Flesh Hounds don't get it for example and neither do Blood Thirsters who only get Rage. It also increases the base cost of all of your units. What this means is fewer bodies.
- Fewer Bodies - The MoK tax means that unless you want to spam Bloodletters and Flesh Hounds you tend to run out of bodies really quickly.
- Summoning - I summoned a lot of units over the weekend mainly Flesh Hounds & Bloodletters. But these lack heavy firepower so they rely on key units in your original list remaining alive they also do not benefit from the Slaughtercult bonus as they are not part of it. Plus if your summoning it means your either killing a lot of stuff or your units are dying like flies.
- Summoning #2 - You need the models to do this, I didn't have them, so to make KD work you need to have a reasonably extensive collection.
- Lack of Heavy Weapons - you get access to Melta's on the Bikes and CSM there's also the odd warmachine but its difficult to get more than a few of these into your army. Those units become priority targets for your opponent e.g. the Blood Thirster and get picked off early.
- No objective secured- Nothing is objective secured in this formation and importantly this includes Summoned units.
- Cultists - you can only take 2 units in a Slaughtercult I'd love more.
Blood Host Umm's
- Possessed - Some reviewers argue that these guys are the main problem with the Slaughtercult not seeing them as a good unit. I actually think they're really good S5 base with Furious Charge and a 3+/5++ is pretty good. I look at them as slightly more survivable Cultists (as they don't have the firepower CSM have). Give them Apocalyptic Fury for +1 A and they have a minimum of 5 attacks each on the charge @ S6 and possibly +1 A more if they roll right on the table. In combat they just decimated people but the lack of consistent AP3 attacks means they are not a complete Pro
- KD Warlord Traits - 4 of them are a bit naff IMO but I always used the table as I was hoping to roll either a 1 or a 6 each game. The 1 gives your Warlord and all units within 12" re-rolls on their charges and the 6 means they pass the test to become DP or BT. If I didn't get #1 I always re-rolled to go for it as this is, for a combat army, an amazingly strong power.
The Bloodthirster
- I love the model I really do its a great piece of kit and I'll probably buy another one at some point. But... to me a Bloodthirster's role is to soak up shooting and Psychic powers from your opponent that would otherwise be used against the rest of your army. Over the weekend there were games where he died within 2 turns, one where it never got into combat and in the rest he was there mainly as a bullet magnet. At 250-300pts thats a rather expensive bullet magnet but an effective one.
- In terms of what he killed vs. other units my Cultists did more damage on the table in most games. However, the Thirster's threat range did have a big impact on how my opponents deployed and used their armies.
- Overall, I can't offer much here as I simply don't think I used him properly - I forgot he had Vector Strike until Game 5 for example. I think you best off putting him into Swooping mode in Turn 1 and just buzzing him around threatening to land him, rushing him up behind some scouting Flesh Hounds or just buzzing around being annoying.

Morning: I've got to admit it, the last divine chew and swallow of the peanut butter muffin brings about several minutes of reflective sadness, the taste buds sort of wilt, and I swear to you, the characters must be sad too because they stop in their tracks and stare at me. A moment later, I hear Savich or Sherlock speaking in my ear, "Hello? Time's awastin'." So I throw myself back into the gnarly mysteries S&S are trying to figure out before the bad guys do their worst.
Interesting factoid: This happens rarely -- I type 95 words a minute, no lie, but sometimes the characters are talking so fast I can't keep up with them. Does that sound crazy? You bet.
I always try to write at least six new pages every day. Sometimes the pages pile up sometimes they don't, and sometimes, like this past weekend, I was nearing the end of ENIGMA (the next FBI thriller) and I wrote twenty-five pages non-stop. What a rush.
But you know what I've learned and what I yell to everyone who wants to be a writer? JUST WRITE: if you write crap, it doesn't matter, at least there's something now for you to work on. Odd, but I've yet to edit a blank page. Being a 'pantser' (writing by the seat of my pants rather than outlining), I'm always doing the 'backward build up', I call it. Edit what I wrote the day before or two days before, a week, always making adjustments, forever tweaking.
Finally I make it to mid-day: I go to the gym three days a week, right after lunch. At noon the gym is a strange and magical place. Only a small group is usually there and we all know each other and bust around. I post my new book covers on the cork board and my gym buds swear they've pre-ordered the book, but are those noses lengthening?
Then it's home and either more writing or taking care of business. For example, when a new book is coming out, there's lots of stuff to do, mainly social media, about which I'm an acknowledged idiot. It amazes and humbles me to see all the talent brought to bear to get my books into your waiting hands.
There's a warning to a writer's life: To be a writer means you never have a day off. I might be on vacation or with family or skiing, but the characters are always wreaking mayhem in my brain. The last time I was skiing, I nearly ran off-trail into a tree because a character acted 'out of character' and did something without running it by me first, like murdering his mother-in-law, the little butthead.
So, bottom line, writing stories is front and center in my life. I can't imagine not writing and pray every single day that there will be readers out there who like my super-exciting, mindbending, never-will-you-figure-it-out murder plots. And when people ask me, "Are you still writing?" my reply is "Am I still breathing?"
Evening time: If football's on or the Warriors are playing, then I'll stay up. If not, then it's off to bed to snuggle with the critters (if they let me) and a good book. My dreams are always an adventure, wild and hairy, and thankfully, so far not fatal. Sometimes a dream will even show me how to save a mother-in-law.

I'm still working on decorating the upstairs bath, and I'm trying SO hard not to be too matchy-matchy. A bathroom is such a tiny room (relative to the rest of the house), and it is really easy to go overboard with a theme (I know because I've done it with pansies, leaves, boats, and fish). In this bathroom, the wall adjacent to the shower was blank except for two towel racks. I wanted to stick with the regal peacock theme, but also keep it pretty simple. I looked online for prints and decals, but couldn't find the dimensions/look I was after. So I just broke out the acrylics and painted a simple feather on the wall.
The nice thing about flexible, organic things like feathers is that they don't have to have a set shape or color, so your drawing skills don't have to be perfect. I used a real peacock feather as a "live" model, and it really helped me with the proportions etc.
I added gorgeous Sis Boom Stephanie Paisley Appliques to some peacock blue hand towels and hung them on the towel racks below the feather.
If you look closely, you can see I added a family monogram over the applique. I tend to like dainty fonts that get lost in terry cloth, so putting them on fabric is the only way to go. It gives a bit of a quilted appearance to the applique, too.
Before I go back into the bathroom (still one more wall to do, you know) I want to give you a heads up about some GREAT giveaways going on across the blogosphere...
Desi over at WeeShare did the sweetest review of the Sis Boom Sophie Tunic, and is giving away three patterns from my Etsy Shop. Isn't her little daughter the cutest??? The drawing will be held on 2/22, and she gives you lots of ways to enter. She has scads of great giveaways going on all the time, so check her out!
On the Sis Boom Daydreams blog, Jennifer is celebrating the release of her much anticipated So St. Croix line with a Fat Quarter giveaway! You have until Sunday the 21st to enter. Not one, but three lucky winners will get fat quarters representing the entire line (18 slices of heaven in all). This is gorgeous, gorgeous stuff folks!!!
My good friends Kim and Kris (the talented chicas behind YouCanMakeThis.com and SWAK embroidery) are "dishing out" a series of free, fun, and very educational videos over at their new blog, The DIY Dish. Get on over there to find out how you can enter to win a Janome sewing or embroidery machine - wow!!!

Challenge Day 61 - Pirate Batch 2 Nearly Finished
I've managed to finish painting the second batch of pirates today. In a little while I'll be giving them a coat of Klear/ink. Once that has cured, I'll be popping them off the sticks and sorting them by armament ready for mixing up for basing tomorrow. I might just be able to get them based up for a huge entry this weekend, which might see me jump back ahead of Dave and a few others.
In the foreground you can see a bunch of bases which I've given a coat of yellow ochre. I'll have to spend a bit of time tonight and tomorrow doing more batches so that I have enough ready for basing the pirates.
In the background is the ship I started yesterday. It is a "Lady Christina" recovery and repair ship. I did a little bit of work on it last night, painting the parts which won't be yellow.
Some pics of the finished pirates, before they get all glossy from the Klear/ink mix.

@ Clint - doing my best to avoid that happening!
@ Dean - there's no real deadline for the pirates at this point, but I would like to get them submitted this weekend if possible.
@ Millsy - these have actually taken me a lot longer than I'd have liked, but I think that is down to how I've painted them to mix up the colours.

How to Scan a Hard Drive for Errorsby Contributor
Computer hard drives can sometimes have errors form on them through normal use or power glitches. These errors can easily be fixed once they are detected. While it may seem like a difficult task, searching your computer's hard drive for errors is actually very simple.
Open "my computer" and select the hard drive you wish to scan.
Right-click on your hard drive and then select "properties."
Switch over to the tools tab on the menu that pops up.
Look at the error-checking box and click on the "check now" button.
Check "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors."
Press the start button and let the scan complete, following your computer's instructions.
Disk Defragmenter
Begin by opening your Start Menu.
Select "all programs," then "accessories" and finally the "system tools" folder.
Pick "Disk Defragmenter" and then "Analyze."
Allow the computer to run the defragmentation process if it determines it is necessary.
- Do not use your computer while it is scanning as this can interfere with the scanning process.
- The scan will probably take 20 minutes total; possibly more or less depending on your hardware.
- Your computer may prompt you to schedule the scan on your next system restart. Click yes, and then close all programs and restart your computer.
- These steps may vary slightly depending on the age and make of your computer.
- Defragmenting can often take more than 30 minutes.
- These steps may also vary slightly depending on the age and make of your computer.
- Do not interrupt your scan as this could cause further complications with your computer.
- Do not interrupt your defragmentation as this could cause further complications with your computer.
- Do not use your computer while it is defragmenting as this can interfere with the defragmentation process.

What Are the Benefits of Increased Physical Activity in a Weight-Loss Program?
Among the more than 10,000 members of the National Weight Control Registry, a research group consisting of people who have lost an average of 66 pounds and kept it off for longer than five years, 94 percent report using increased physical activity as a part of their initial weight-loss plan. Another 90 percent report maintaining an average of one hour of exercise daily to keep from regaining. Increased physical activity contributes to better health, stress reduction and burned calories -- all of which help in your quest to drop pounds.
Calorie Burn
To lose weight, you must eat fewer calories than you burn. A pound of weight is equal to 3,500 calories – so you must burn 500 calories more than you consume daily to lose just 1 pound per week. Physical activity increases the amount of calories you burn daily. If you are inactive, you may have to trim your calorie intake to an unhealthy and unsustainably low level to create a calorie deficit that stimulates weight loss. By adding physical activity, you can still create a calorie deficit without feeling ravenous all the time. The American College of Sports Medicine advises you exercise at least 250 minutes per week -- or 50 minutes per day, five times per week, at a moderate-intensity level to stimulate weight loss.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends you participate in strength training for the major muscle groups at least twice per week. This can help you offset the natural loss of muscle that occurs with age. Muscle burns more calories than fat tissue at rest – essentially boosting your metabolic rate so you burn more calories just living. When your body has a greater percentage of lean tissue, you can eat more and still manage your weight.
Stress Reduction
Exercise helps you release stress, a major factor in weight gain. When you are under stress, you may find it hard to stick to a low-calorie diet. Your body also releases a greater number of stress-related hormones that inhibit weight loss. Physical activity can help encourage the production of endorphins, which counteract stress. Exercise -- whether it be yoga, weightlifting or competitive sports -- can help take your mind off the stresses of your day, effectively clearing your mind and making you feel calmer.
Long-Term Management
You may be able to drop weight by trimming calories alone, but physical activity can help you maintain weight loss for the long term. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking or active gardening, weekly for weight management. You may find this isn't enough to keep the pounds from creeping back on, however, and need to do more – especially if you have a hearty appetite.
Mood and Sleep
By improving your mood and reducing the symptoms of depression, exercise can help you have a better attitude toward the challenges of a weight-loss program. Increasing your levels of activity can also improve your sleep. Inadequate sleep may affect the levels of your hunger hormones, making weight loss difficult and inducing weight gain, explains the National Sleep Foundation.
Health Promotion
Structured exercise can tone and strengthen muscles to make daily movement easier, so you are more likely to move around all day and raise your metabolic rate – which leads to faster weight loss. While weight loss helps decrease your chances of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, some cancers and Type 2 diabetes, including physical activity as part of a weight-loss plan decreases the risk of these diseases even further.
Even if you can't fit in the recommended 250 minutes of aerobic exercise for weight loss, some activity is better than none. Work your way up to longer sessions overtime and always consult with your physician before starting a new regimen. Physical activity does not have to involve the gym. Find an activity you love, whether it be dancing or walking briskly through the park, so you can stick to your new routine for a lifetime.

Judge not ...
The old saying that one should not criticise another unless you can walk a mile in their shoes is very perceptive. The trouble is that we cannot 'walk a mile in another's shoes' since we can never fully experience the world as they have been conditioned to do so. What we can do is take account of someone else's family background, their self-perception and their reactions to the world, and try to be understanding when faced with what we may consider to be a poor response to something. All too often though we find that it is easier to shun someone we label as 'awkward' or even as 'stupid' than to deal with trying to adjust our own prejudices, fears or responses. We tend to shun behaviours that we see as 'negatives' in ourselves.
Part of the 'growing up' experience we all go through teaches us to self-analyse and to be self-critical. Once we develop a certain 'image' of our abilities, we can either excel or, where the 'image' is a negative one, fail to develop at all. Naturally we also develop the 'image' we present to the world, which may be very different to that we have of ourselves. That can lead us to making an effort to 'hide' what we see as our inadequacies by overplaying behaviour that we think shows the opposite. People who suffer from an image of themselves which reinforces their insecurities, often try to present themselves as confident and 'in control' which can make them seem aggressive and over assertive. Of course, the response this gets from many of the people they meet tends to reinforce their 'inadequacy' self-image and it becomes a bit of a vicious circle.
In my own case, I learnt quite early to consider myself as not particularly bright, and that being noticed usually got me into a lot of trouble. The most damaging 'praise' I got constantly was the statement, "Well done, you did OK, but you could have ..." That "but you" always stung and it always meant that whatever I'd done was never going to be good enough. On the other hand, my attempts to please often resulted in attracting the wrong response. So I learnt to be invisible. Fortunately, I still got noticed by people who encouraged me and tried to reverse the negatives. Thankfully, in part, they succeeded, but it was a long and very uphill battle to eventually build up the confidence to tackle taking responsibility for myself, my career, a family and eventually emigration to a new world and a new life and career.
It came as something of a shock, ten years ago, to meet some old school acquaintances who told me they'd 'envied' me at school. There was a double shock here, first in their perception of my home and family life, and secondly that theirs might have been tougher than my own. Even more surprising was the discovery that many of those who'd had far better and more economically stable homes, had not achieved even a third of what I had since leaving school. All the assumptions I'd cherished about their 'advantages' over me were blown out of the window and it made me realise how dangerous it is to allow yourself to think in this way.
We are unique. Each of us has strengths and each of us has weaknesses. We each choose whether to build on the strengths, or reinforce our weaknesses. The latter is self-destructive, the former is much harder work, but infinitely rewarding, but even more so is the realisation that each and every person we meet faces the same choices, though their choice of development may be influenced by experiences we can never share. That is when one realises that it is important to be grateful for the rewards you reap, and, at the same time, to be tolerant of the failures you see in others. None of us is every 'perfect' and we are certainly never 'right' a 100% of the time. We all have our own failures, or 'skeletons in the closet', but equally we have our triumphs. We should celebrate those more, but we should also celebrate others triumphs as well.
Above all else we need to avoid judging others against our own self-criticisms. We need to understand why someone else behaves or responds the way they do. We need to 'walk a mile in their shoes'. Probably we need to make peace with ourselves as well. Often those who throw dirt at others do so out of a sense of their own inadequacy and are attempting to make themselves feel superior in doing it. In fact, as one of my mentors once told me, what you take from another, you take twice from yourself. The saying "Judge not, lest you be judged" reveals an enormous truth, for, when we 'judge' someone else, we are exposing some of our own inadequacies and prejudices. Never a good thing to do.
We are not all the same, though we may be 'equal in the eyes of God' we do not have the same experiences, the same world view, or the same abilities. It behoves us to remember that, and to make allowances. A lot of conflict can be resolved simply by trying to understand someone elses point of view and, in today's 'polarised' world, that may be a good starting point.

I'm very fortunate to have a line manager who would agree with all of the above. Even when we're dealing with the most infuriating people, he'll find a way to get my team to consider some reasons why that person might be behaving this way. It's a good way of defusing your own anger (good for your own wellbeing), which amends your behaviour towards that person and can sometimes get a more positive response. He generally discourages his staff from passing judgement on others' behaviour.ReplyDelete

A very good and perceptive post. I am reminded of a famous poem by Robert Burns, Scotland's national poet. It's called, 'To a Louse', and he wrote it after being annoyed by seeing a flea crawling over a woman's hat whilst he was in church. Angry with the flea defiling such beauty, he realised where he was, and admonished himself for criticising one of God's creatures. The one verse which many people are familiar with is:
"O wad some pow'r the giftie gie us
Tae see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion:
What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us,
And ev'n devotion!"
Essentially, he is saying that we would probably be shocked if we knew how others perceived us, and we would be humbled.
P.S. As it's written in lowland Scots dialect, I'll translate it for a small fee!
I just found another blog post that supports yours nicely :)ReplyDelete

Henry Hudson's Last Letter
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Shawna Audet and The Overlanders
Download this song for free.
Right click the link and "save as".
In 1610, Henry Hudson searched for the Northwest Passage. Although the passage eluded him, he would not give up. The crew mutinied and set Henry (and several others) adrift in the treacherous Arctic waters. When we wrote this song, we tried to imagine how Henry would explain the situation to his wife.
Dear Kathy, Where should I begin?
The ice is setting in; my luck is running thin
And I'm feeling so alone
Dear Kathy, The winter stole my dreams
There's danger in these waters; these men aren't what they seem
Snow is just like diamonds but it hides the ice below
A mask of dedication, deep down I knew it was a lie
The sum of everything I am has never been enough
Was it really worth the trip?
I couldn't find my way to the thing that was most true
I'd be a richer man if I'd stayed with you
Dear Kathy, I think I pushed too hard
I wouldn't stop the journey when my men were all half-starved
I couldn't find it in myself to ease my iron grip
It was time to cut their losses; they cast me off the ship
And I'm feeling so betrayed
Dear Kathy, You should be proud of John
While others were rebelling, he told them they were wrong
And he stayed strong
But he knew all along
They were right
I thought I was a wise man
The stars were clear to me
I promised you the spices from the Orient
But the bay wouldn't set me free
Dear Kathy, I cannot tell a lie I have no ship,
I have no wings, I know that soon we'll die

Claire Feniuk, a PhD student in the Conservation Science Group won first prize at the Student Conference on Conservation Science yesterday, for her poster "Finding the balance: Food production and biodiversity conservation in Europe". This was quite an achievement, given that there were 100 posters and the standard was unusually high. The chair of the team of poster judges, EJ Milner-Gulland (Imperial College), had many deservedly glowing things to say about the design and content of Claire's poster.

Today, we took Inang to the hospital.
Every morning, per our normal routine, I check on Inang before heading into work. She was still sleeping when I got there this morning. I noticed she seemed paler than usual and asked my parents (who are real-life medical professionals, unlike myself who just fakes it) to follow up and see what might be wrong, as I had to get to work for an early presentation.
The presentation went well, and as I settled back into my office to catch up on emails, I noticed that my mom had sent me the following text:
"Don't get alarmed."
"She does not need blood transfusion."
"Vomiting. Pooping. Blood."
I left the office within fifteen minutes of receiving that text message, and arrived before Inang was scheduled to go up for an endoscopy. As we waited, Inang struggled quite a bit with the idea of using the restroom in an incontinence garment* the nurses had supplied her.
"But I want to walk."
"You're not allowed to. You just had a GI bleed."
"But I need to use the restroom."
"Then use it. Let it go, Inang. Let it go."
Inang was not amused with the Idina reference.
After a while, Inang had no choice but to comply with the thought of using the incontinence garment, which I'm sure she was not happy with and ultimately led to certain acts of rebellion.
Like, full-on disrobing.
Not really Inang, but you get the idea.
And I get it. If someone told me, "Hey, use the bathroom on yourself," I'd want to get as clean as possible, as quickly as possible – even if that meant stripping down to my birthday suit in front of my kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, and kind Malaysian maintenance man who was in the room to fix my curtain.
You could hear Inang's heart shatter after we told her she wasn't going home tonight. No amounts of "We're staying with you! We're staying with you!" brought any comfort to her (or maybe it was the fact that my dad and Uncle George joked around about going fishing tomorrow).
I'm praying that Inang gets to go home quickly, and that Tuesday's tests bring about positive news rather than the alternative. Until then, Inang and I will be on mini vacay, glamping out at Hotel West Houston Medical Center, where we accept gifts in the form of coffee, chocolate, and telenovelas (just kidding, Inang's NPO… I'm not though).
Where the party never stops
*who are we kidding? it's an adult diaper

Hi there,
You said you were looking for friends or something to that effect. Were you looking for female friends? I'm not gay, or jealous, or competetive, it's just that beautiful women should be kind to each other because there's alot of B*****S out there.. I'm older now so I don't get it as much as I use to. I'm 55 and I still got it.

"Why did you call, Mr. Willoughby?" said Elinor, reproachfully; "a note would have answered every purpose. — Why was it necessary to call?"
"It was necessary to my own pride. I could not bear to leave the country in a manner that might lead you, or the rest of the neighbourhood, to suspect any part of what had really passed between Mrs. Smith and myself — and I resolved therefore on calling at the cottage, in my way to Honiton. The sight of your dear sister, however, was really dreadful; and, to heighten the matter, I found her alone. You were all gone I do not know where. I had left her only the evening before, so fully, so firmly resolved within my self on doing right! A few hours were to have engaged her to me for ever; and I remember how happy, how gay were my spirits, as I walked from the cottage to Allenham, satisfied with myself, delighted with every body! But in this, our last interview of friendship, I approached her with a sense of guilt that almost took from me the power of dissembling. Her sorrow, her disappointment, her deep regret, when I told her that I was obliged to leave Devonshire so immediately — I never shall forget it — united too with such reliance, such confidence in me! — Oh, God! — what a hard-hearted rascal I was!"
They were both silent for a few moments. Elinor first spoke.
"Did you tell her that you should soon return?"
"I do not know what I told her," he replied, impatiently; "less than was due to the past, beyond a doubt, and in all likelihood much more than was justified by the future. I cannot think of it. — It won't do. — Then came your dear mother to torture me farther, with all her kindness and confidence. Thank Heaven! it DID torture me. I was miserable. Miss Dashwood, you cannot have an idea of the comfort it gives me to look back on my own misery. I owe such a grudge to myself for the stupid, rascally folly of my own heart, that all my past sufferings under it are only triumph and exultation to me now. Well, I went, left all that I loved, and went to those to whom, at best, I was only indifferent. My journey to town — travelling with my own horses, and therefore so tediously — no creature to speak to — my own reflections so cheerful — when I looked forward every thing so inviting! — when I looked back at Barton, the picture so soothing! — oh, it was a blessed journey!"
He stopped.
"Well, sir," said Elinor, who, though pitying him, grew impatient for his departure, "and this is all?"
"Ah! — no, — have you forgot what passed in town? — That infamous letter — Did she shew it you?"
"Yes, I saw every note that passed."
"When the first of hers reached me (as it immediately did, for I was in town the whole time,) what I felt is — in the common phrase, not to be expressed; in a more simple one — perhaps too simple to raise any emotion — my feelings were very, very painful. — Every line, every word was — in the hackneyed metaphor which their dear writer, were she here, would forbid — a dagger to my heart. To know that Marianne was in town was — in the same language — a thunderbolt. — Thunderbolts and daggers! — what a reproof would she have given me! — her taste, her opinions — I believe they are better known to me than my own, — and I am sure they are dearer."
Elinor's heart, which had undergone many changes in the course of this extraordinary conversation, was now softened again; — yet she felt it her duty to check such ideas in her companion as the last.
"This is not right, Mr. Willoughby. — Remember that you are married. Relate only what in your conscience you think necessary for me to hear."
"Marianne's note, by assuring me that I was still as dear to her as in former days, that in spite of the many, many weeks we had been separated, she was as constant in her own feelings, and as full of faith in the constancy of mine as ever, awakened all my remorse. I say awakened, because time and London, business and dissipation, had in some measure quieted it, and I had been growing a fine hardened villain, fancying myself indifferent to her, and chusing to fancy that she too must have become indifferent to me; talking to myself of our past attachment as a mere idle, trifling business, shrugging up my shoulders in proof of its being so, and silencing every reproach, overcoming every scruple, by secretly saying now and then, 'I shall be heartily glad to hear she is well married.' — But this note made me know myself better. I felt that she was infinitely dearer to me than any other woman in the world, and that I was using her infamously. But every thing was then just settled between Miss Grey and me. To retreat was impossible. All that I had to do, was to avoid you both. I sent no answer to Marianne, intending by that to preserve myself from her farther notice; and for some time I was even determined not to call in Berkeley Street; — but at last, judging it wiser to affect the air of a cool, common acquaintance than anything else, I watched you all safely out of the house one morning, and left my name."

Lord's Day 32, 2008

Petitionary Hymns
Poem VIII. John xiv. 17. He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Augustus Toplady (1740–1778)
Savior, I thy word believe,
My unbelief remove;
Now thy quick'ning Spirit give,
The unction from above;
Shew me, Lord, how good thou art,
My soul with all thy fulness fill:
Send the witness in my heart
The Holy Ghost reveal.
Dead in sin 'till then I lie,
Bereft of power to rise;
Till thy Spirit inwardly
Thy saving blood applies:
Now the mighty gift impart,
My sin erase, my pardon seal:
Send the witness, in my heart
The Holy Ghost reveal.
Blessed Comforter, come down,
And live and move in me;
Make my every deed thy own,
In all things led by thee:
Bid my every lust depart,
And with me O vouchsafe to dwell;
Faithful witness, in my heart
Thy perfect light reveal.
Let me in thy love rejoice,
Thy shrine, thy pure abode;
Tell me, by thine inward voice,
That I'm a child of God:
Lord, I choose the better part,
Jesus, I wait thy peace to feel;
Send the witness in my heart
The Holy Ghost reveal.
Whom the world cannot receive,
O manifest in me:
Son of God, I cease to live,
Unless I live in thee
Now impute thy whole desert,
Restore the joy from which I fell:
Breathe the witness, in my heart
The Holy Ghost reveal.

Psalme 137
(Geneva Bible)
1 By the riuers of Babel we sate, and there wee wept, when we remembred Zion.
2 Wee hanged our harpes vpon the willowes in the middes thereof.
3 Then they that ledde vs captiues, required of vs songs and mirth, when wee had hanged vp our harpes, saying, Sing vs one of the songs of Zion.
4 Howe shall we sing, said we, a song of the Lord in a strange land?
5 If I forget thee, O Ierusalem, let my right hand forget to play.
6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleaue to the roofe of my mouth: yea, if I preferre not Ierusalem to my chiefe ioy.
7 Remember the children of Edom, O Lord, in the day of Ierusalem, which saide, Rase it, rase it to the foundation thereof.
8 O daughter of Babel, worthy to be destroyed, blessed shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast serued vs.
9 Blessed shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy children against the stones.
Grace be with you, and Peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

This 3T ARX Team Alloy Oversized Road Stem is no longer available although you may find similar or newer versions below:
In particular, we have optimized the design of the clamps. Steerers and handlebars are now usually made of composite materials, and can easily be compromised by poor clamp design. To assure the integrity of the ARX clamp interface, we perform our own tests that go way beyond the demands of CEN standards. We even tested this new stem's compatibility with other brands of handlebars and it passed with flying colours.
The ARX TEAM is made of Al 7075 T6, with the grain structure aligned for optimal strength. A titanium bolt package brings the weight down to 120g. In addition to the usual reversible 6-degree fitment, ARX TEAM is available in a 17-degree variant for a really aggressive, low riding position.
We will happily refund any item purchased on Wiggle if returned to us within 365 days; excluding Wiggle gift vouchers, nutrition and customised products, except when faulty.
Please note: Bikes and other bulky items cannot be returned using our local returns service (where applicable). Please contact us and we can arrange to collect these from you using our discounted courier rates. There is a fee for all collections, except for faulty products.Returned goods must be unused and supplied with their original packaging, unless the goods are faulty. Wiggle will pay the return postage costs for any faulty items.

TWRA Among Agencies To Host Public Meeting on Federal Trout Hatchery Funding
NASHVILLE --- The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, along with the Tennessee Valley Authority, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and Georgia Department of Natural Resources will host a public meeting in Knoxville on Tuesday, May 27, to receive comments on long-term funding recommendations to continue popular trout stocking programs in certain TVA reservoirs and tailwaters across the region.
The agencies are seeking input from angling groups, local and regional businesses, tourism organizations and local governments that benefit from fishable trout waters in their communities.
The meeting is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (EDT) at TVA headquarters, 400 W. Summit Hill Drive, Knoxville, in the East Tower meeting room. The public can participate in person or by webinar. Registration information for the webinar can be found at www.tva.gov/trout.
The session will include a brief presentation summarizing the issue and the Trout Hatchery Funding Stakeholder Working Group's recommendations. Attendees can ask questions and provide comments. The meeting will be recorded and posted to the agencies' websites, where additional comments may be posted.
On May 17, 2013, U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and representatives from the agencies formalized an agreement to cooperate in seeking a permanent source of funding to continue trout hatchery production by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's National Fish Hatchery System for stocking in TVA tailwaters and reservoirs in Tennessee and Georgia.
As part of the agreement, TVA committed to provide more than $900,000 per year from 2014 through 2016 to support federal fish hatchery operations that produce trout for stocking. The agencies also agreed to form a working group with key stakeholders who benefit from recreation-based trout stocking to help identify a long-term funding source. The Trout Hatchery Funding Stakeholder Working Group conducted two meetings in 2013 and developed four recommended long-term funding alternatives for the agencies to consider.
Currently, non-native trout stocked near some of TVA's dams come from three federal fish hatcheries operated by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service: Erwin National Fish Hatchery in Erwin, Tenn.; Dale Hollow National Fish Hatchery in Celina, Tenn.; and Chattahoochee Forest National Fish Hatchery in Suches, Ga.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service stocks most of the trout it produces at TVA facilities, and provides eggs and fingerling trout to the TWRA for further grow out and stocking at TVA facilities. TVA supports these stocking programs by enhancing the aquatic habitat through oxygenation systems, controlled hydroelectric generation and minimum water flows to help maintain cooler water temperatures. However, in most of the waters, the trout still cannot naturally reproduce, requiring regular stocking to maintain fishable populations.
The short-term funding agreement allows for continued trout stocking for recreational fishing in the colder water of the reservoirs or tailwaters at 12 TVA dams in Tennessee and Georgia: Apalachia Dam on the Hiwassee River; Blue Ridge Dam on the Toccoa River; Cherokee Dam on the Holston River; Ft. Patrick Henry Dam on the South Fork Holston River; Normandy Dam on the Duck River; Norris Dam on the Clinch River; Ocoee Dam No. 1 on the Ocoee River; South Holston Dam on the South Fork Holston River; Tellico Dam on the Little Tennessee River; Tims Ford Dam on the Elk River; Watauga Dam on the Watauga River, and Wilbur Dam on the Watauga River.
The TWRA is funded primarily by hunting and fishing license sales and boat registration. The TWRA is responsible for the management of all wildlife in Tennessee.

Dragon Sword is not a new game. But I ignored it last year, simply because I couldn't play it. I don't know what changed over the year? But now I can play it rather smoothly. This is pretty much the character customization.
And I gave you some mount combat game play. And some little action. I'll fully review it later in the week. Also you don't need a key to play this one. Just a Net Ease account which is easy to get.

According to the company, this 150A solution eliminates the risk of "overdriving" or drawing excessive current beyond the maximum continuous rating on a piece of equipment. Other product enhancements include arc-snuffing chambers, multiple grounding styles, and positive polarization. Both models are UL-listed, CSA certified, and rated NEMA 4X.
