Corset is made of flax linen using original medieval technology with cord inside instead of bones which is also typical for XIII century medieval corsets. Main feature of this belt is it's not as hard as corset with bones. Decorative golden lacing with brushes can be used additionally over belt as presented at pictures.
Please note that the width of this item at the waist is always less than your real waist circumference. This is attributable to the fact that corset is designed to tighten an abdomen and create a slim silhouette. With this corset you can reduce your waist circumference even up to 10 cm, but for such a beautiful effect as you can see at the photos you will need to tighten it mightily; it requires outside help. First time wearing a corset can cause discomfort, but soon you will get used and its fabric will slightly stretch.
Is it possible to get this in a darker blue color, with a silver trim?
Hi Elizabeth, yes we can make it in dark blue linen with silver Celtic trim. Please simply leave this request in the comment to your order.
Can i order this with silver cord and a white or silver trim with the white flax color instead of this trim? Because this would be perfect for my wedding!
Hi Kika, yes, of course, we can make it in wide with silver accents and silver Accolade trim, for example. Please simply leave this request in the comment to your order.
Hi, I was thinking of getting this corset in the shown green and customising the trim to be the 'Celtic Green-Gold'. The trim green colour seems to me darker than the main green colour on the corset - are trim and corset greens in the same realm of each other or would it look strange? Thankyou!
Hi Tyla! Green linen will perfectly match the green/gold celtic trim.
What trim do you recommend for white corset?
Can this corset be made in brown with the wide "Ingrid the heartkeeper" trim? Would be happy to pay extra for this.
Hi! Yes, it is possible. Please simply leave this comment to your order at the checkout.
Hello, I would like to buy this corset to go with the red "Secret Garden" dress. Would the red of the corset (if I picked that colour) match that of the "Secret Garden" dress? And if not, would you suggest that I buy the corset in another colour? Thank you very much!
Hello! The red color will surely match. We can also use the same trim on the corset as on the dress.
Hello, I am quite short, 156cm with a short torso. Could it be made to fit me?
Hi! This corset is made in custom size. Please simply fill in your measurements in the order form at the checkout. We will make it perfectly fitting you.
Yes, this is possible for $15.00 extra. Just mention the trim in the comments to your order and we`ll send you an invoice for the extra then.
Can this pretty trim be used on a hem and on short sleeves for any other style of dress please? like Frank's? or Helga (only on arms and hem, not neckline) Thanks!
The trim can be used on Frank`s dress (on sleeves, hem and neckline) for $15.00 extra. You can just mention the trim in the comments to your order and we`ll invoice you for the extra once we receive the order.
Cannot be used on Helga dress as this trim doesn`t have a narrow analogue, sorry.
I know it takes about a month to make. But the U.S. how quick is express shipping?
We ship via UPS express mail, it takes 5-8 days to deliver normally.
Curious how this laces. Love the concept. Beautiful garment. But I wonder how strong the cord inside is; and how the mechanism actually works. It really isn't explained on the website. Not to complain, but I've bought nine garments (and several things like belts and headwear). They all have been lovely. But the ones with similar strings or buttons haven't held up so well. I've had to replace them. With my own buttons and actually changed some lacings to leather. I love the look of this but I'd like it to be durable? I'm not a seamstress, so any alterations I've done must be pretty simple. I'd love to order this, but what assurances could I have to ensure the stays/strings, inside and out would be adequate. I'm doing personal measurements rather than stock sizes.
The corset has back lacing, there is a certain number of grommets (depends on the size) and you need just to lace it with a cord (originally the gold braid is used) as pictured.
Please note, that the corset width is always less than your waist circumference as it is supposed to tighten you and create a slim silhouette. First time wearing a corset can cause discomfort, but soon you will get used and its fabric will slightly stretch.
Hello! Could I have this trim on the Helga dress (just sleeves and hem as I realise it's too wide for collar). Does the trim come with the yellow edge or can that be removed? Thanks!
The Helga dress cannot be made with this trim, as it doesn`t have a narrow version, sorry. The dress can be made only with those trims which have both wide and narrow versions.
The model is 165 cm (65 in) tall and has size 0. We would recommend you to check your size in our size chart.
Good Afternoon, I was wondering if the chemise in the photo was in the white or natural linen? I am trying to gauge which goes best with the green belt. Thanks, C.
Hi, Catherine! Chemise is shown in natural linen.
I so can't wait to receive my archeress corset in green! Getting this along with white archeress chemise as already got it in natural flax color along with the matching earrings..
Stunning set! I do have basically whole archeress collection, just now be waiting for the corset and earrings, thou must get the belt and frog, then I'm complete archeress girl.. love it!
do you have any pictures with the blue one?
Usually we make photo shoots of our items only in one basic color, but we have some photos from our customers, please check the pictures attached below. Welcome!
Unfortunately there is too little time for manufacturing and shipping. Please note, manufacturing of these items takes 25-29 days, plus shipping takes 2-3 weeks, thus, we're not able to deliver them by October 15th, sorry.
“Mistress of the Hills” trim is available in wide version only, there is no narrow version.
Can the Mistress of the Hills corset be made in Black with the silver Forest trim?
Yes, but please note that Forest trim is half time narrower than the current trim. Simply add a comment to your order, no extra.
Green flax should be available again within two weeks.
Your full height from head to toe (including your neck and head).

Well, I actually did it by accident while trying to pause But I'm just reporting it, do whatever you think is best.
Is Archery chance to hit very dependent upon the Agility attribute?
I don't know the exact formula, but I think it's dependent on both your archery skill and Agility. Your Luck probably also plays a role.
I think archery can be pretty good. Maybe not the best way to play the game but not that bad. The early game might be on the rough side depending on your stats and weapon material. You need to bump up agility, speed, and your archery skill.
Just bumping because from your last post, it sounded like this was to be moved to bug reports.

where i keep getting Same fishes For abt 20plus?!
brought back home where i kept him in my salt water fish tank.
The area you mentioned does have some very good places to handline but unfortunately, they're all currently inaccessible due to construction works. Those places include the entire stretch of Punggol 17th ave/Track 24 where there are seawalls. I believe you can still fish on Punggol Jetty(End), though there is very little space to move around. There's also Changi Kelong Walk, but that place is also currently under renovation.
It's not easy to fish with handlines from beach because you can't cast very far out, you need to fish from an extended platform from the shore like a jetty. If you don't mind fishing at canals, you can try them during high tides. You should give Bedok or Labrador Jetty a try too if you want to handline.
Sorry it's not much of a help, for I too am out of shore spots for handlining. Welcome to HLF RoystonVoon. By the way, what are the 20 odd fishes that you've caught at Punggol end?
Those fishes you've caught at Punggol end are saltwater fishes, although some may survive in brackish water but they most probably will die in freshwater. Marine tank needs lots of care and monitoring. The live prawns you buy from tackle shops and those dead prawns you buy from wet/supermarkets are marine prawns as well. You will need saltwater, aeration and food to keep them alive. Frankly, it'll be easier to buy.
That may take awhile to explain but in short, you need to feel the type and intensity of the bite. Basically, you need to wait for the fish to get the pointy part of the hook into its mouth. When that happens, usually you can feel the weight of the fish when you taut the line. That's when you give the line a jerk to set the hook.
Of course that won't happen all the time for several reasons. The fish may be too small for the hook, not in the feeding mood or cautious in approaching your bait, or even your actions spooking the fish. You eventually will get the feel of it the more you fish. The "let it eat until something comes up" is a way of fishing but the techniques and rigs will be different. But basically it involves letting the fish swallow the entire bait, lodging the hook deep in its guts.
It's best if you can set the hook earliest possible to prevent gut hooking the fish. Because sometimes we land fish they we don't want to keep, and gut hooking will most likely kill the fish even if we intend to release it back. Another alternative is use of circle hooks to prevent this, but that's another topic altogether.
Good luck on your fishing trip tomorrow!
Where exactly at Changi Point are you referring to? Sorry, I'm not too familiar with the east side.
Just a quick question to everyone, I'm new and kind of clueless but does this forum service just on specific area or country? I live in a small town in central North Carolina and I eat sleep and breathe fishing. I'm just looking for a place that has the same addiction as I do.
Welcome to HLF, Lococrazy. We're a Singapore based website but we welcome all anglers across the globe. There will be topics that a lot of members here may not be able to relate to with regards to fishing in your locality as fishing techniques and fish behaviour may differ. That said, we're happy to engage in general fishing discussions and sharing of catch reports. Enjoy your stay here.

The artistic and sometimes absurdist world of fashion is becoming an increasingly fascinating subject for documentary filmmakers.
The September Issue (2009) featured Anna Wintour, the legendary Vogue US editor-in-chief, followed by Bill Cunningham New York (2010) and The Eye Must Travel (2011), a spotlight on Wintour's predecessor Diana Vreeland.
The newest name on the marquee is Carine Roitfeld, the former editor of Vogue Paris.
The Fabien Constant-directed documentary, Mademoiselle C, released this week and offers a peek into the congenial fashion icon's whirlwind life as she prepares to launch her own magazine, CR Fashion Book.
Though it hasn't been treated kindly by the critics -– The Hollywood Reporter calls it "anecdotal and shapeless" while The New York Times describes it as "meandering" -– the film does offer up plenty of classic Carine moments for Roitfeld's cult following.
There are also the prerequisite celebrity cameos; designers Karl Lagerfeld and Donatella Versace, model Kate Upton and rapper Kanye West all enjoy their 15 seconds of screen time. An especially memorable sequence follows Lagerfeld wheeling around a baby carriage after Roitfeld's granddaughter Romy drops in on an important meeting. And who else could make the 'Ksar' do that on film, but Roitfeld?

Ariel Kachuro/Assistant Photography Editor The Elsie B. Rosefsky Memorial Art Gallery opened last Thursday, Sept. 6, with visiting artist Jenny Day.
Last Thursday, the Elsie B. Rosefsky Memorial Art Gallery in the Fine Arts Building welcomed visiting artist Jenny Day’s exhibition, “Lone Star, True But Whatever,” with a public, two-hour reception.
Day’s exhibition, which will be shown in the gallery until Sept. 30, is inspired by her trip this past year to Port Aransas, Texas, a city that faced heavy damage from Hurricane Harvey. She said the series is meant to reflect the city’s resilience and patriotism while also exploring humor and irony as a response to current events.
Her paintings feature remnants of a battered physical landscape, as well as elements drawn from dreams, memories or internet icons. Patches of gold leaf and glitter burst from her canvases, which are often framed with images of winding snakes or ribbons.
On display for the first time are Day’s “cut ups” — collages of scraps and photographs that inform the images in her paintings and are sometimes directly translated into paintings. Day has never shown these before, but she decided to display them alongside her paintings for the first time at Binghamton University.
“I thought that since this is an educational space, I could show part of my process,” she said.
Since finishing graduate school at the University of Arizona four years ago, Day has shown her work mostly in group shows or commercial galleries. BU will be the first college campus she has shown at since she graduated, and this new setting has given her room to expand. As a result, the pieces in this exhibition are larger than any she has shown before.
“Because I’m not selling from the school, I have a lot more room to be experimental with size and topic,” she said.
Her decision to include larger pieces in this exhibition also stemmed from an experience she had while viewing another artist’s work during a visit to Marfa, Texas.
“When I was walking through the exhibition, all I could think was, ‘I have to paint bigger,’” she said.
Halfway through the reception, attendees gathered around Day while she spoke about the exhibition and answered questions. She discussed her undergraduate background in environmental science, emphasizing that her academic and career path has been full of surprises. Years after earning her first undergraduate degree, Day earned a bachelor’s in fine arts in painting at University of Alaska Fairbanks while working as a horticulturist.
Day’s background in environmental science is reflected in her art, which draws inspiration from natural disasters and features themes of environmental destruction.
Megan Munley, a sophomore majoring in mechanical engineering, said that Day’s interdisciplinary approach to art reflects her own converging interests in nature, engineering and photography.
Jackie Kachadourian, a senior double-majoring in art and design and theatre, said that she appreciated the culturally relevant subject matter of Day’s art.
“It’s interesting to see social media and environmental studies in her painting, and it’s a different approach to painting than you normally see,” Kachadourian said.
The exhibition will be shown in the Rosefsky Gallery until Sept. 30. The gallery is open to the public, free of charge.

It’s that time again, when a new year emerges, fresh-faced and rich with possibility.
In a professional capacity, it’s also an opportunity to turn the dedication applied to your work this year into wisdom for the next.
2018 brings with it another chance to shape your massage practice into exactly what you’ve always dreamed it could be.
Whether you consider yourself a pro of promotion or a novice, specialize in a massage marketing role or wear many hats, knowledge of several basic strategies and tools can help you realize the vision you hold for your business.
By focusing on specific facets of your practice throughout the year to set clear intentions, make adjustments and track measurable growth, you will ensure that your massage marketing strategy is the strongest it can be.
Tools and technology for implementation, or platforms to create, plan and manage your calendar and communication.
Altogether, your three-step marketing plan for 2018 will involve setting intentions, a mid-year check-in, and solving marketing mysteries with metrics. Let’s go!
Before crafting your plans for 2018 or putting them into action, it’s essential to begin with clear intentions by reflecting on your practice, overall, before envisioning the year to come.
What would you like to see in terms of the relationships you foster with your clients? What is the message you’d hope for them to hear most clearly? What channels might you use to communicate your message most effectively?
Each intention should be grounded in your unique purpose as a practitioner and applied to such aspects of your work as your audience, relationships, messages and channels of communication. Consider what drew you to massage therapy in the first place and what you hope your clients will gain from your services.
Audience: Who is your message for? It’s valuable to consider the demographics of both your current and prospective clientele, as well as your current and prospective services. If expanding your client base is central to your intentions for 2018, consider which type of client your practice currently serves and whether a diversification of your services might benefit them or attract a more diverse clientele.
Considering the networks that these target markets might be a part of can also be an indication of where to place your promotional message to best make initial contact.
Relationships: What is your connection to your audience? The quality of your professional relationships is often a reflection of the clarity of the intentions you’ve set. Envision the connections you’d like to foster with new and existing clients alike, and use this as an opportunity to experiment with treatment offerings and physical ambience.
The nature of these connections is the cornerstone of any marketing strategy and forms a guiding principle to which you can always return.
Message: What do you stand for and what do you want to say? As one of the most thought-provoking and pertinent facets of your business, it is essential to reflect on the deeper purpose and inspiration of your marketing messages. The more authentic your messages, the more effective they will be.
Ask yourself what you stand for, what initially drew you to massage therapy, what makes the work you do meaningful to you, and what unique gifts you offer your clients and the world. The deeper your reflections, the more clear your intentions and messages will be.
Channels: Where will your message make the most impact? There are many communication channels to choose from when networking with your professional community. Selecting the most effective channels can be determined by assessing both functions and limitations of each one for alignment with your unique business needs.
Development of channels—the how, when and where your messages are communicated—should be based on the intentions you’ve set for building relationships with your audience.
For example, channels like newsletters and blogs provide opportunities to design customized content and intentional messaging to be received by an organically growing group of subscribed recipients, often for a fee.
Featuring a newsletter signup sheet at your front desk can be an effective means of expanding your reach, from which you’ll build sorted distribution lists, such as clients most interested in specific promotions or workshops.
Free social media platforms like Instagram or Facebook are ideal for such visual content as images and video that provide a larger network a visual glimpse and feel for the work you do.
Tools and technology: How are you implementing the plans you’ve designed? It’s best to begin by taking inventory of the resources at your disposal to accomplish your professional goals, be they financial or physical assets like studio space or personnel.
Additionally, many automated tools are available to create, plan and manage your channels of communication. These platforms are designed to organize and timetable content, allowing you to calendar the year in advance based on seasonality and specific goals, all easily stored, viewed and reorganized by simply logging in.
With clear intentions for the coming year in mind and knowledge of the tools at your disposal you are ready to lay out your promotions in the affordable, editable, and shareable format that works best for you.
Every effective promotional strategy is designed to stretch and bend with the changing needs of your practice. Assessing your progress mid-year creates an opportunity to directly compare initial goals with reality, gauge effectiveness and return on investment of the resources you’ve allotted and the choices you’ve made, and course correct if needed.
Audience: Has your client base evolved or remained rather consistent? Are you satisfied with the degree of growth you’ve experienced? If not, are there adjustments to your practice that could be made to better support this? Are you making use of the networks of which your clients are a part?
Relationships: Are you witnessing the connections with your clients you were hoping to foster? Is the experience of working with you demonstrating consistency and care? How have elements like physical ambience and variety of treatments factored in?
Message: Is the caliber of the services you hope to offer your professional community reflected in the voice you’ve assigned your business so far this year? Consider whether your language and media choices are attracting the right clients and building the right relationships.
Channels: Which channels have you chosen to use thus far? Perhaps you’ve relied on social media channels to provide a visual indication of your work to a larger network, or perhaps you provide more personalized messages to a smaller newsletter subscriber base. Consider the scope of client interaction that each channel generates.
Tools and technology: Which tools have you implemented thus far and how have they served you? Where might they have fallen short? Are there adjustments to be made? Has a means of reliable timetabling allowed for efficient content management of your promotions throughout the year?
There is no excuse to not have technological systems in place to track and log inventory and assets; keep track of current and new clientele, including demographics and contact information (this is your customer relationships management system); measure engagement of your channels; and measure leads, followers and subscribers. You must both understand and implement methods of upgrading or expanding your tools and technology based on your needs.
Your efforts during 2017 have laid the groundwork for the degree of marketing success you’ve achieved in 2018. Where the mystery lies is in which factors are responsible for the growth in your business and how best to maximize those that are working while adjusting those that aren’t fully serving you.
While any check-ins or assessments done throughout the year may have been the kind only observable to the naked eye, determining a metric, or system of analysis to gauge your professional progress, is another story entirely—one that requires a detailed investigation that builds proof for your case.
As with any good investigation, you will examine the evidence, define the objective, and examine what worked (and what didn’t work).
It is helpful to review the same list of considerations that begun the marketing planning process to consider any quantifiable changes to your resources, in quantity, quality and type: audience, channels, tools and technology, and your new client base.
What we are looking for are tangible indications of the effect of your marketing efforts.
The investigation (defining the objective): Determining an origin of new leads for your business, or which method of promotion has been most effective, is central to designing a future marketing plan.
You may remember a truth reiterated in both humanities and science classes that correlation does not necessarily equal causation. Now that we have gathered the evidence of the way your massage marketing efforts might be quantifiably impacting your business, we can begin to build a case that points to a cause.
It’s best to begin by surveying trends. With your data-driven evidence in front of you, what jumps out at you first? Commonly, you will notice the numbers that have changed the most from the beginning of 2018 to the end of 2018, demonstrating not only notable change but the most growth as well.
Your educational newsletters were met with the largest open rate.
All of these observations provide not only clarity on what’s working, but opportunities for growth. Your subscription rate increased, but do you know at what rate? You should determine any correlations between when and how most people subscribed, such as during particular months when you offered specific promotions.
Determine if clients signed up via your website or during an office visit. Double-check to make sure you are building a relevant readership base for your message.
You noted that more appointments were scheduled around the time newsletters were received, which might indicate that all that your base needed was a friendly reminder to keep your services top of mind.
Determine if this frequency is working well, and experiment with how often you are able to send out e-newsletters.
Consider how much time you should commit to creating content and striking a balance between being top of mind and excessive communication, which could lead to unsubscribing. It is always best to imagine yourself in your clients’ shoes.
Your educational content had the highest open rates, meaning your readers were interested enough in learning from you to open the email.
What opportunities does this create for you? You might use your practice space to teach an occasional workshop, for example, or you might partner with another practitioner to host an educational event.
Filming an instructional video to include in an email is a way of ensuring your massage marketing message is accessible and can reach your subscribers regardless of geography. Becoming a trusted source of information will establish you as an expert and resource, while building client loyalty.
Examining weaknesses as potential inhibitors: Next, review the channels from which you noticed the least amount of change or interactivity.
While your best-performing channels might explain the growth in your business, the weaker channels might best explain the rate of growth. The good news is, you do have opportunities to increase flow through your weaker channels.
Here’s an example: You created a Facebook page but rarely have a chance to post. When you do, you receive little interactivity although your admin page says the reach of the post is high.
Your Facebook page isn’t receiving as much attention as you would like, which could be explained by any variety of factors—from how much time you have to commit to it, to common practices on this social media platform.
Perhaps clients are getting what they need from simply reading the post without responding to it in any way.
If you sense true stagnation, however, consider what you are willing to change. Do you have additional time to commit? If so, consider using valuable content from the channels that are working well. You could repurpose educational content from your newsletter or post a video, for instance.
Here’s another example: Although your website hosts an inquiry form, few people use it. Instead, most new clients call you to make appointments, which creates more work for you.
This might be an opportunity to review the form yourself or ask others how their experience has been. Perhaps the form is too long, or considered cumbersome or confusing by some people. Perhaps new clients are submitting the form and not hearing back from you.
Ultimately, solving marketing mysteries and proving causation is almost always accomplished by two dimensions: examining your customer experience and asking your customers questions.
To examine your customer experience, take a moment to step fully into their shoes and look at that experience from start to finish. Looking for snags or breaks in the chain can be very revealing.
This will give you a better idea of both the experience your clients are having and the professional impression your business is creating.
Next, ask your clients how they heard about you, what they like about the communication they receive from you, what they enjoy most (and least) about your treatments, and what improvements they might hope to see.
Your clients are your very best resource, and they can provide the largest pieces of evidence available to solve your case—by determining motive and drawing a clear line between your promotional efforts and your business growth.
Holding a clear vision for your massage practice is a uniquely empowering experience.
Putting measurable growth indicators in place and possessing knowledge of the best channels to communicate your message before diving in to craft your marketing plan for the coming year will set you on the path of success.
Remember, you know your business better than anyone—and only you can make it all it can be.

Businesses face two enormous challenges when seeking to contain cyber risks and maximize cyber insurance recovery. First, the risks are by their very nature ever-evolving and thus difficult to stay abreast of, let alone contain. Second, the insurance marketplace is in flux and fragmented.
Below are 10 tips for maximizing cyber insurance recovery.
Make sure your insurance matches the way you conduct online business and process data. For example, there are insurance coverage implications if you use cloud computing or other vendors for hosting and processing data. Many cyber-risk insurance policies available today can be tailored to reflect the fact that the policyholder may delegate to third-party data management and hosting.
Do not rule out coverage for a claim under traditional business policies. If a cyber loss occurs, consider D&O, E&O, crime and general liability insurance coverage depending on the claim against your company or the form of loss. We have had success in winning coverage for our clients for cyber-related losses under traditional coverage.
Avoid cyber insurance policy terms that condition coverage on the policyholder having employed “reasonable” data security measures. These clauses are so vague and subjective that they are bound to lead to coverage fights. Further, given the lightning speed of technological innovation and amorphous nature of cyber risks, a cyber security practice that was reasonable just months ago may look reckless with the benefit of hindsight.
If you possess or process consumer or business credit card information, make sure that you have coverage for fraudulent card charges and credit card brand assessments and fines — these can be large exposures when there is a significant data breach.
If you do business with individual consumers and obtain their personal identifying information, make sure you have coverage (including attorneys’ fee coverage) for the inevitable expenses of responding to informal inquiries and formal proceedings that ensue from state attorneys general, the Federal Trade Commission and others when a breach occurs (often implicating residents of several states).
Make sure that your insurance covers breaches arising from mobile devices that may or may not be connected to the company’s computer network. More and more employees can access systems through tablets, smartphones, and PCs. The ever-growing size of hard drives and the ubiquity of portable drives mean that some employees may create security risks, even when the device is not logged onto the company servers.
Complete insurance applications carefully, including D&O applications. Underwriters will be focusing more and more on computer risk areas, and insurance application responses often are used against policyholders to contest insurance claims.
Avoid cyber insurance policies with contractual liability exclusions. Contractual liability claims often are made in conjunction with statutory claims, negligence claims and other forms of relief, and policyholders are best off not enduring a huge allocation fight over what portion of the claim is covered.
If you are buying or renewing specialty cyber insurance policies, make sure you work with a very good and experienced broker. There is not presently uniformity of product in the cyber insurance marketplace, and lots of terms are open for negotiation. A good broker can help get you the best coverage.
Provide notice to your insurance companies quickly after a breach. The cost meter starts immediately. When you have a breach situation, every second counts, and you undoubtedly will incur costs quickly for computer forensics, attorneys and other consultants. Providing proper notices and advising of these costs promptly can increase the odds of recovering these costs from your insurance companies.

Trans-Pacific Partnership Ready for Christmas Delivery?
As the end of 2013 approaches, so does President Obama’s deadline for approving the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
The TPP is a direct and deadly attack on sovereignty and representative government masquerading as a Pacific Rim trade pact.
Currently, there are 12 countries negotiating in secret to create this regional trade agreement that some have called NAFTA on steroids. The number of participants could rise to a baker’s dozen should China be welcomed on board by the United States (President Obama has signaled that he would recognize the Chinese communist government’s partnership in the bloc).
Barack Obama is asking for fast track authority for the Trans Pacific Partnership. Consider that to be another version of “you have to pass this to see what is in it.” With fast track authority, there will be no hearings on this treaty. It will be negotiated then sent to the Senate for a simple up or down vote. The Senate will not be able to provide advice and consent because they cannot offer amendments under fast track.
Less than one fifth of the Trans Pacific Partnership deals with trade. The remainder of the treaty governs a myriad of things, including regulating the price of medicines. A few months ago, a mix of conservative and liberal groups stopped the “Stop Online Piracy Act” or SOPA. Most of the provisions of SOPA are included in the Trans Pacific Partnership.
Under the proposals of the TPP, American sovereignty would be eroded. American courts would be inferior to foreign trade courts and disputes between American citizens and foreign corporations would not be litigated in American courts but in these trade tribunals.
The TPP is guilty of each of those charges, and the evidence is overwhelming.
Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of all the roster of frightening things about the TPP is the secrecy surrounding the details of the agreement.
A few federal lawmakers have tried in vain to bring into the light the frightening compromises being made by our trade representatives at the TPP negotiations.
Zach Carter of the online Huffington Post reported that Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee’s Subcommittee on International Trade, Customs and Global Competitiveness, was stonewalled by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) when he attempted to see any of the draft documents related to the governance of the TPP.
In response to this rebuff, Wyden proposed a measure in the Senate that would force transparency on the process, and that was enough to convince the USTR to grant the senator a peek at the documents, though his staff was not permitted to peruse them.
Wyden spokeswoman Jennifer Hoelzer told the Huffington Post that such accommodations were “better than nothing” but not ideal in light of the well-known fact that on Capitol Hill the real work of drafting and evaluating legislation is performed by the representatives’ staff members who are often experts in particular areas of domestic and foreign policy.
It is instructive that a duly elected senator of the United States has to beg and plead and threaten legislation in order to see the TPP trade agreement negotiations, but corporate interests are given a password by the USTR that grants them full, unrestricted access to those same documents.
After more than a decade of broken promises from NAFTA, CAFTA, and normalized trade relations with China, we can now add a credibility deficit to the trade deficits we’ve seen. The leaked documents surfacing today only underscore the secrecy surrounding TPP negotiations and confirm worst suspicions about the direction trade negotiations are heading. It’s telling that it is easier for the CEO of a major corporation to access information about the negotiations than the American people’s elected representatives.
The negotiations must involve more transparency and bring more voices to the table.
Apart from the secrecy, a few drafts of key provisions of the TPP have been leaked to the Internet. One thing all the leaks reveal is that large corporations would be allowed to assume powers that constitutionally belong to Congress and to the states.
Notably, in both statements announcing the hemispheric enlargement of the trade bloc, former U.S. Trade Representative Kirk places the approval of “domestic stakeholders” (read: large corporations) on a level with that of Congress. It is precisely this exalting of big business, as well as the as-yet-impenetrable wall of secrecy surrounding the drafting of the TPP treaty, that has troubled many of the people’s representatives in Congress.
Although the treaty negotiations are being kept under a thick veil of secrecy, a draft document leaked to the Internet discloses that as part of its membership in the TPP, the United States would agree to exempt foreign corporations from our laws and regulations, placing the resolution of any disputes as to the applicability of those matters to foreign business in the hands of an international arbitration tribunal overseen by the secretary-general of the United Nations.
The leaked information also confirms the fears of many who from the beginning have opposed the entry of the United States into this trade agreement. The alarms sounded by several groups on the Left and the Right warning of the wholesale damage that the TPP could cause to commerce, copyrights, and the Constitution now seem vindicated.
These new trade agreements will place domestic U.S. firms that do not do business overseas at a competitive disadvantage. Based on these leaked documents, foreign firms under this trade pact could conceivably appeal federal regulatory and court rulings against them to an international tribunal with the apparent authority to overrule our sovereignty. If foreign companies want to do business in America, they should have to follow the same rules as everyone else. No special favors.
This tribunal needs to be removed from this agreement, and no foreign company doing business on our soil should have a competitive advantage, created by some dumb agreement, over American companies. What is Obama thinking? He is placing international organizations above the interests of our own country.
Just days after the proposed provisions of the TPP appeared online, The New American interviewed ALG President Bill Wilson. Wilson was asked what he believes Americans have to fear should the United States enter the TPP and why he thinks the negotiations have been conducted in secret.
At this very moment, the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) — a trade agreement that could affect the health and welfare of billions of people worldwide — is being negotiated behind closed doors. While 600 corporate lobbyists have access to the text, the press, the public, and even members of the US Congress are being kept in the dark.
That raises two distressing possibilities: either in an act of extraordinary subservience, the Times has endorsed an agreement that neither the public nor its editors have the ability to read. Or, in an act of extraordinary cowardice, it has obtained a copy of the secret text and hasn’t fulfilled its duty to the public interest to publish it.
Senate Finance Committee leaders called on Wednesday for Congress to pass fast-track legislation aimed at smoothing the passage of any future trade deals.
Panel Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and ranking member Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said during a trade hearing that they are working on crafting trade promotion authority (TPA) legislation and are expecting the Obama administration to work with them toward gaining its approval in Congress.
There is still time for Americans to contact their senators and encourage them to refuse to ratify any agreement that is worked out in secret, grants corporations lawmaking power that the Constitution gives exclusively to Congress, and ties the future financial well-being of the United States to countries ruled by communists, dictators, and with economies that will adversely affect nearly every aspect of American manufacturing and agriculture.

The 1938 quarter value is $2.80 each, it's the starting value for a coin in "Good" condition.
Two mints produced Washington quarters in 1938. Philadelphia and the San Francisco mint. The more valuable of the two is the San Francisco coin, identified by the "S" mintmark on the reverse.
Other elements do contribute to raising the value higher, particularly the condition of your coin. After finding the "S" mintmark, determine the condition. The very nice "Uncirculated" Washington quarter pictured is a highly sought coin.
The older dates are commonly found very worn, see if yours is in a more collectible condition, by comparing it to the "Grading" images below. A just slightly better looking 1938 quarter is worth a premium.
The coin value chart breaks the prices down by date, mintmark and state of preservation.
The "1938-S" is a quarter minted by the San Francisco mint in 1938 and values are given in four different "Grades." A section on how to judge the condition, and grade your coin is found below.
From brand new "Uncirculated" condition to very worn, "Good" condition, is reflected in the examples. Line your Washington quarters in a row, judge their state of preservation and assign each a "Grade."
As you proceed, handle each coin carefully, keeping in mind, value is highest for "Uncirculated" coins.
Uncirculated: A 1938 quarter in the "Uncirculated" grade has no wear on its surfaces. The appearance is as if freshly minted. Some develop natural toning over the years, and is considered very desirable. This combination of factors results in the most collectible and valuable coins.
Extremely Fine: Still sharply defined with abundant detail remaining. Examine the high points of the hair, curls above the ear, the cheek and neck line for minimum wear. The coin should standout from the rest as clearly detailed.
Fine: Most of the fine detail in the hair is lost, the area around the ear is smooth, but the major design elements are still bold. Overall a pleasing coin.
Good: Here we are at the low end of the desirability scale. The lettering is now connected to the rim and only the major details of the portrait remain. The coin does not appear mistreated, just well worn.
Check your coins with the values chart. Most of the silver Washington quarters value is tied closely to the price of silver. However, a few rare dates and mintmarks are very valuable.
Including more relating to your 1938 quarter value. Easily find how much your old coins are worth.
From Bust Quarters to Seated Liberty, Barber, Standing Liberty and Washington quarters. All series include Grading Images to judge the condition of your coins and coin value charts.
Do you have other coin denominations?
All old US coin values. It is an excellent index with images and text links to all coin series, from Cents to Gold. Value charts, grading images and descriptions uncover how much your box of old coins is worth.
How does a Washington quarter rise to a value over $400? It took an outstanding 1938-S quarter featuring a bold strike, silver white luster with attractive light toning, and barely noticeable marks.
Auctioned by DLRC Auctions it realized $402.50. A proud addition to any collection.
The sale was conducted through an online internet auction. Which points to an excellent way of viewing coins and gaining an understanding of your 1938 quarter value.

Here’s everything that grabbed our attention in the world of beer in the past week, from cask anxiety to Berlin boozers.
Martyn Cornell – “Why is finding a properly kept pint of cask ale such an appalling lottery in Britain’s pubs”?
This month’s host is Dave S of Brewing in a Bedsitter and he has asked us to tackle, in any way we like, the subject of farmhouse brewing.
We’ll begin this bit of pondering with an extract from an article in the Brewing Trade Review for June 1955 reporting on the collection of the Museum of English Rural Life of ‘absolute unit’ social media fame.
In the home brewing section a particularly interesting exhibit is the equipment from a Suffolk farmhouse where this once domestic art was practised as recently as 1934. Included is a mash tub, vat, stillions and a heavy old copper, the removal of which almost necessitated dismantling that part of the building in which it was houses. Other items allied to home brewing include examples of malt scoops from Suffolk and Berkshire, a Suffolk mash stirrer, a Berkshire horn mug and kegs of various size from Somerset, Essex and Worcestershire once used by farm labourers to carry their beer and cider into the fields, particularly at harvest time.
Insofar as we’ve given British farmhouse beer – or let’s say rural beer – a great deal of thought there’s a point hinted at here that rings true for us: we reckon it ought to be quickly, cheaply, easily made, and probably drunk very fresh, if not, indeed, while still fermenting.
One particular set of instructions is repeated in various corners of the internet, usually verbatim, without any original source. The earliest version, posted on RootsWeb by someone called Jan Gluyas in May 1997, calls for boiling four pounds of brown sugar in five gallons of water for 45 minutes with hops, ground ginger, raisins and salt. It is to be fermented for around two days and then bottled with a single raisin in each bottle for priming.
those who liked “young beer”, it seems – or who perhaps found seven days too long a wait to quench their impatient thirsts – often tapped the casks before the lapse of this period.
But it’s hard to imagine anyone making this kind of beer commercially viable in 2018 so these days farmhouse, as a label, must mean something else. Lars Marius Garshol may have it when he suggests that most commercial beers commonly labelled as ‘farmhouse’ are actually “farmhouse ales that have been imported into the world of commercial brewing, undergoing some changes on the way”.
This is our contribution to the monthly exercise in collective beer blogging which this time is hosted by Jon Abernathy at The Brew Site who asks us to reflect on home brewing.
We winced a bit at this one. Over the years we’ve written about why we love home brewing, why we stopped home brewing, and why we started again. But we haven’t brewed in ages, or felt the urgent drive to do so. Jon has prompted us to interrogate ourselves.
Question One: Why is the home brewing kit still in the attic six months after we moved to Bristol?
There are positive reasons. We’re in a new part of the world with limited time off work which we want to spend exploring, not watching a pot that never boils. We’ve been busy ticking pubs and getting to know the local breweries. And (this may or may not be positive depending on whether you believe it is the job of beer bloggers to sacrifice their health in the War on Prohibition) we don’t drink as much as we used to – we only need so much beer!
But there’s at least one poor excuse: we’re still sulking because the last few beers we made were duds. We read the books, we bought the apps, we procured the fanciest ingredients from the Malt Miller, and we sanitised everything within half a mile of our house. Twice. After all that, the beer was still basically crap – a bit rough, a bit acidic, a waste of time and money.
Question Two: So why bring the brewing kit at all?
We had limited space in the removals van and got rid of lots of stuff, including about 150 books, but for some reason we kept the boiler, the mash tun, and the thousand bits of easily lost copper and plastic. Clearly there is unfinished business. The itch lingers.
It might never get used again – there’s hardly a house in Britain that doesn’t have a load of dusty home-brew kit in the back of a cupboard – but it’s good to know it’s there.
If we find a particularly interesting recipe in the archives we can at least make a stab at brewing some version of it. (Our last really successful beer was a 19th century Whitbread pale ale from Ron Pattinson’s marvellous book which turned out funky and fascinating.) If we wake up one Saturday morning with the urge to brew we could be filling a fermenting vessel by teatime. (Bristol has actual bricks-and-mortar home-brewing shops.) And we sometimes daydream about using it to make some mad, strong, beastie-riddled keeping beer for mixing with stuff from the supermarket as we’ve done with Orval in the past.
Or maybe it’s just sentiment. You’d be surprised how many memories a plastic bucket can hold.

Dragons (drah-gkon and dov-rha to the ancient Nords, or dov in their native language) are large flying reptilian creatures that are encountered in Skyrim. They are immortal and highly intelligent, have an affinity for magic, and were once even worshipped by the ancient Nordic people. Temples dedicated to dragon worship were built across the province of Skyrim, but now only a few artifacts relating to the Dragon Cult remain, such as dragon claws and Dragon Priest Masks. Once thought long dead, dragons are now beginning to return and are a major part of Skyrim's main quest.
There are several encounters with dragons during the main questline, though randomly generated dragons also appear in the wild after the completion of Dragon Rising. Although the majority of dragon encounters will involve only a single creature, in rare cases it is possible to come across two or more of them at a time, especially after fast-traveling. All dragon lairs contain word walls and are indicated by a dragon's head icon on the map.
Dragons are also often encountered soon after fast-traveling to a relatively wide open location, within smaller towns like Riverwood and Rorikstead, or even inside large walled cities like Whiterun and Markarth.
Dragons are fearsome opponents in combat and are some of the most dangerous creatures in all of Tamriel. As your level increases, more difficult types of dragons will appear, ranging from a basic dragon at the lowest levels up to a mighty legendary dragon at the highest. Encounters with dragons in the wild are heralded by a loud roar; the dragon will often fly very close to you if it has spotted you, causing a palpable rush of air, almost as if the dragon is deliberately trying to provoke you. Not all dragons are automatically hostile to you, however. Some will simply circle overhead for a while without engaging in combat; if you ignore it long enough, the event will end and the dragon will fly off.
Dragons are highly intelligent and can use the power of the Thu'um (also known as "The Voice" or Dragon Shouts) to attack their enemies, using short phrases of words of power to cause a variety of effects. It is said that combat with dragons is actually a debate; as the dragon Paarthurnax explains, "There is no distinction between debate and combat to a dragon. Tinvaak los grah. For us it is one and the same."
All dragons have either frost- or fire-based breath attacks and will use them while airborne and while on the ground. The damage inflicted by this attack can be decreased with the appropriate elemental resistance, magic resistance, and wards. During combat, dragons will occasionally land on the ground to briefly engage in melee with you or any NPCs or other creatures in the area before taking flight again. Dragons may also perch on rooftops or other features, such as word walls, attacking creatures below them while keeping out of reach of melee attacks. The Dragonrend shout can be used to force a flying dragon to land for a short time. Once a dragon is at about half of its health, it will either land on the ground (often with a clumsy crash) and not take flight for the rest of the battle or, rarely, flee combat altogether, depriving you of a dragon soul to absorb.
A Blood Dragon attacks with its Fire Breath.
While a dragon's breath is a formidable attack in its own right, dragons also have a devastatingly powerful bite. It is important to keep your health high when close to a dragon on the ground. If your health drops below a certain threshold and you are close to the dragon's head, the dragon may kill you with an action sequence: it will lunge forward and grip you in its jaws, lift you in the air, swing you from side to side, and then throw your corpse to the ground. Staying to one side of the dragon while it is on the ground can help keep you clear of its bite and breath, but the dragon will still be able to lash at you with its wings or tail. You can try using trees and other landscape features to gain a cover advantage, but the game may not register all forms of cover and the dragon may still be able to attack through them, so choose your hiding places carefully.
Dragons will attack nearby creatures of any kind, from mudcrabs to giants, but not other dragons. You can use this to your advantage by engaging a dragon where other creatures are nearby, especially if the dragon has already selected alternate prey, using the distraction as an opportunity to move in for the attack. Dragons will even target other creatures while engaging you in combat, so fighting alongside followers and other NPCs or creatures makes surviving a dragon assault much more feasible, since damage can be absorbed by others. However, the presence of other creatures does not guarantee the dragon will attack them instead of you, even if it was already fighting them when you arrived.
When you slay a dragon in combat, the body of the beast will be engulfed in flames, and you will absorb its soul. After the flames subside, you will be left with the dragon's bare skeleton, which can then be looted for its bones, scales and other miscellaneous treasure. The scales and bones can then be used to make formidable armor. If the Dawnguard add-on is installed, the dragon's bones can also be used to create and temper Dragonbone weapons. Dragon souls can be saved and used to unlock Dragon Shouts and, with the completion of the Dragonborn questline, reset skill perks.
Dragons have long, slender extremities covered in scales, and large, thin, leathery wings. Their feet are tipped with three sharp talons and one vestigial digit known as a dewclaw, a characteristic that can be seen in their written language. Dragons have horns and spiked ridges along their backs and are several times larger than any human or elf. They have two hind legs but no forearms, so they use their wings to crawl when they are forced to traverse along the ground.
With the exception of a few unique dragons, there are several varieties of dragons that can generally be distinguished by their color. The table below lists the dragon colors found in the game.
In addition to the special abilities listed below, all dragons have a special Dragonskin perk, which negates 50% of all damage from any attacker except the Dragonborn. Except for basic Dragons and the Skeletal Dragon, all dragons also have an ability called "Dragon Bite", which grants them a constant Fortify Unarmed Damage effect. Dragons are immune to paralysis and cannot be soul trapped.
Dragons have their own unique "dragon" versions of the Fire Breath, Frost Breath, Unrelenting Force, and Drain VitalityDG shouts, and their Fireball and Ice Storm spells are treated like shouts as well. Dragons rely on their magicka reserves to use these shouts, which means that if a dragon's magicka is drained, it will not be able to use its shouts. The base damage for all the dragons detailed below is 25 (with the exception of the Skeletal Dragon), and their tail swipe attacks will stagger all enemies in a large area.
The sections below detail the attributes and abilities of each of the various types of dragons. The types of dragons that spawn in the wild will depend on your level, but regardless of your level, dragons' combat abilities and their centrality to the game's plot effectively make them game bosses. Note that although the different varieties of dragon normally start to appear at the player level indicated, it is possible, though rare, to encounter a more powerful dragon at a much lower level.
Basic Dragons are considered to be the easiest dragon type to fight, although they can provide a challenge early in the game. They come in three different colors and can have either fire- or frost-based attacks. They will spawn at any level once the quest Dragon Rising has been completed.
All Blood Dragons are entirely green in color, can breathe either fire or frost, and are slightly tougher than basic dragons. These dragons have sail-like fins on their backs and on either side of their tails, and a bony ridge along their foreheads. Blood Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level 18.
The Skeletal Dragon is a unique dragon found only in Labyrinthian that is made up entirely of bone, with no scales or flesh, and cannot fly. It breathes frost, but has no resistance to frost or weakness to fire; instead, it has weakness to magic (100 pts). The Skeletal Dragon has no soul to absorb and, unlike living dragons, drops only dragon bones when killed. The Skeletal Dragon's base damage is 50, and its bite attack multiplies this damage by 2 instead of 1.5.
The Skeletal Dragon breathes a blast of frost.
Frost Dragons are colored white and grey and have very large, black spikes along their back. They have a frost-based breath attack. These dragons are a little tougher than Blood dragons and have significantly more health. Frost Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level 27.
All Elder Dragons are bronze in color and are significantly tougher than the previous types, both in melee and breath attacks. Their wings have a unique two-tone pattern, with bronze at the top and a lighter green lower down. They can breathe either fire or frost, and begin appearing in leveled lists at level 36.
An Elder Dragon glides over the water.
Ancient Dragons are covered with coppery red-and-black scales, with almost no ridges or spikes on their backs, and are capable of breathing either fire or frost. The Ancient Dragon's "Dragon Bite" adds a massive 175 points of damage to their attacks, making them remarkably deadly both in the air and on the ground. Until Dawnguard was released, they were the strongest non-unique dragons encountered in the game. Ancient Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level 45.
An Ancient Dragon scorches the air with its Fire Breath.
Serpentine Dragons are found only on Solstheim and can breathe frost or fire. Their appearance is unique compared to other dragons, most notably their blue hue, lack of scutes, and oversized bottom jaws which give them a distinctive underbite. They are formidable foes, possessing slightly greater strength than an Ancient Dragon. There is one named Serpentine Dragon, Sahrotaar, whom Miraak uses as his mount. Serpentine Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level 55 if Dragonborn is installed.
Revered Dragons are orange-scaled dragons that have long, flat bodies and broad tails. In addition to their Fire Breath, they can use a dragon version of the Drain Vitality shout, which lets them rapidly drain a victim's health, magicka, and stamina. Revered Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level 59 if Dawnguard is installed.
Second only to Alduin in their sheer power, Legendary Dragons have striped black and purple scales, large curved horns, unusually long claws on their white-and-purple wings, and what appear to be compound eyes. Like the Revered Dragons, they can use Drain Vitality as well as the traditional Fire or Frost Breath. Legendary Dragons begin to appear in leveled lists at level 78 if Dawnguard is installed.
A Legendary Dragon swoops down with a frosty blast.
"Destroyer Devour Master" The firstborn of Akatosh, elder brother of Paarthurnax, and self-proclaimed aspect of Akatosh. Also known as "The World-Eater" and "Bane of Kings".
"Curse Never Dying" An undead dragon the Ideal Masters tricked into guarding the Soul Cairn for eternity. He can be summoned after defeating him and learning his shout.
"Sorcerer Day Mind" Found outside of Nchardak on the island of Solstheim.
"Ancient Dominate" In the Black Book: Waking Dreams, encountered during the quest At the Summit of Apocrypha.
"Allegiance Strong Hunt" The first living dragon you will fight in Skyrim, at the Western Watchtower near Whiterun. There had been no previous record of his death, and he may have actually survived in hiding all this time until Alduin's return.
NaaslaarumDG N1SL1RUM One of two dragons encountered in a frozen lake in the Forgotten Vale. They are fought simultaneously and can dive under the frozen lake to ambush you.
"Fury Burn Wither" Buried in a mound west of Rorikstead.
"Snow Hunter Wing" Was the right-hand to Alduin, records date by interrogation of captured Dragon Cultists during Crusade. Buried in a mound in the south east of Skyrim, near Riften. After completing the main quest, Odahviing can be summoned by using a dragon shout called "Call Dragon".
"Ambition Overlord Cruelty" The legendary lieutenant of Alduin in The Dragon War. He is now known to reside on the Throat of the World under the protection of the Greybeards of High Hrothgar.
"Dominate Wise ?" In the Black Book: Waking Dreams, encountered during the quest At the Summit of Apocrypha.
"Phantom Sky Hunt" Buried near Kynesgrove, encountered during A Blade in the Dark.
"Mighty Servant" In the Black Book: Waking Dreams, encountered during the quest At the Summit of Apocrypha.
"Shine Hammer Rage" Buried near Lake Yorgrim. Death dating back to Dragon War era.
"Dark Maw Eat" Buried in a mound northeast of Sunderstone Gorge and southwest of Sleeping Tree Camp. Death dating back to Dragon War or just after.
"Dark Overlord Fire" A dragon encountered underground, in Blackreach.
VoslaarumDG VOSL1RUM One of two dragons encountered in a frozen lake in the Forgotten Vale. They are fought simultaneously and can dive under the frozen lake to ambush you.
A mighty dragon lies dead.
The standard loot for dragons is listed below; revered and legendary dragons give additional loot.
With the Dragonborn add-on, you have the ability to ride specific dragons after obtaining all three words of the Bend Will dragon shout. After shouting at the desired dragon, it will land and you will be able to get on its back, and it will engage in flight. You give the dragon instructions, rather than directly controlling the dragon. There are a few dragons that you are unable to ride.
Since Legendary Dragons only start to appear in regular leveled lists at level 78, this achievement is difficult to complete until your character reaches very high levels.
Outside of the main quest, the most reliable way to find dragons to fight is to perform the radiant quests Dragon Seekers or Dragon Hunting. They are repeatable, and your destination is guaranteed to spawn a dragon. Dragon Seekers is available if you have completed the Companions questline and Dragon Rising, and Dragon Hunting is available if you have completed Rebuilding the Blades and are on friendly terms with the Blades.
Although Arngeir says that dragons have the same ability as the Dovahkiin to absorb a slain dragon's soul, receive its knowledge, and use this to master a new shout, it never happens during gameplay. This is presumably because there is no occasion when one dragon fights or kills another, unless the player has summoned or mastered one: and on such an occasion, the Dragonborn is present to get the dragon soul, whether you want or need it or not.
If you instantly kill a dragon while it rests on a word wall, or is completing an animation such as taking flight, the dragon will finish its animation (it will take flight if it is resting), before landing (or crashing) to die. This is due to the longer animation sequences associated with dragons due to their size.
The Wabbajack will not transform a dragon, but can be used as a constant source of destructive blasts.
If Dragonborn is installed, the quest The Temple of Miraak has been completed, and the quest At the Summit of Apocrypha has not been completed, Miraak may appear and absorb the dragon soul before you can.
Dragons are immune to all Illusion spells and effects cast at them.
They also have extremely high Sneak ability, which allows them to signficantly counter all forms of stealth, including invisibility and muffle, though they're not technically immune to these effects.
You will occasionally fail to absorb a dragon's soul after killing one. This issue can possibly result from fast traveling, mounting a horse, looting a container, or engaging an NPC in dialogue the moment the dragon dies.
This bug usually occurs with dragons that have spawned from dragon lairs after you first visit them.
Dragons will occasionally lunge through cover such as boulders, sarcophagi, and trees.
If you have the Disintegrate perk and you disintegrate a dragon with a Shock spell, the ashes may disappear into the world terrain (or just be very hard to find). You will still absorb the dragon soul, but will miss out on the dragon bones and scales as well as the other leveled loot.
If there are no open spaces nearby, wounded dragons (or those under the effects of Dragonrend) will sometimes be forced to crash-land and skid through solid objects, and often teleport wildly and/or end up at odd angles.
Casting most spells on a dead dragon's skeleton may move it incredible distances.
Right after a dragon dies, you can walk inside its corpse and view its skeleton before it disintegrates.
You may see some dragons flying backwards. These dragons are not affected by Dragonrend and never land, so they can only be killed by arrows and spells. This bug was introduced with patch 1.2.
This bug is fixed by version 1.3 of the Official Skyrim Patch.
Sometimes after leaving a building or fast traveling, dragon skeletons will spawn and fall from the sky, without you fighting them at all.
In some cases this is not a bug, but a result of the way the game saves data. When returning to an area where a dragon has been killed, after the cell has been unloaded from the buffer but before the corpse would have expired, the corpse is respawned in the air (as if a live dragon) and allowed to fall again.
Dragons may spawn with their distant skin model instead of their close-up model, and will appear blocky with blurred skin.
Saving and reloading will correct this.
On the PC, some have experienced a glitch when performing one-handed weapon "finishing moves" on dragons in which the animation will be off-center. In most cases, it will appear as though the character is dangling off the right side of the dragon's head when the finisher animation occurs.
Occasionally dragons can become invisible for no apparent reason, however NPCs will still attack them.
When you visit a dragon lair, the dragon may be in front of the word wall stuck in the ground. This renders the dragon unkillable and it will not attack you.
Using Storm Call to kill a dragon that's still flying may make it continuously fly in circles and become unkillable.
If you fast travel after killing a flying dragon, the dragon may appear in that area.
Dragons landing on stairs can get stuck since each step is its own surface and they cannot fit on a single step. This causes them to be stuck until the forced landing sequence, and in this case they simply jump up and crash back down.
On rare occasions, a dragon soul will be absorbed before the dragon is dead, leaving an invulnerable skeletal dragon.
Sometimes, a dragon may get stuck in a circle flight and will be unable to land or hover. They also become immune to Dragonrend, you can see the shout effect hitting them, but they won't land. They can only be killed by arrows or spells, and in some cases they will continue to fly in circles after their health is reduced to 0. Entering a building and going back outside fixes this. ?

Lale Anderson (born March 23, 1905 in Bremerhaven, Germany – died August 29, 1972 in Vienna, Austria) was a German singer and songwriter, who is best known for being the first ever artist to record the song "Lili Marleen" on August 1, 1939 (originally titled "Lied Eines Jungen Wachtpostens"). Anderson initially only sold 700 copies of her recording. The song became tremendously popular on both sides of the front during World War II, when it was frequently played by Radio Belgrad in the then-occupied Yugoslavia.

A transit advocacy group petitioned the state Court of Appeals yesterday for permission to appeal an Appellate Division decision that ruled the MTA was justified to raise bus and subway fares.
“If the Appellate Division decision stands, it’s a license for government agencies to lie,” said Gene Russianoff, staff lawyer for the Straphangers Campaign.
A unanimous decision by a five-judge appeals court panel last month reversed the ruling of a lower court judge, who had ordered the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to roll back the increases.
The judges found the MTA had not broken state law when it failed to notify riders that it had enough reserve cash to delay a hike and that it had “exceeded the statutory requirements” on its public hearing notices.

"During my short stint in Jacksonville, I quickly realized that they are working incredibly hard to turn the corner and I truly believe that they will find success in the coming years", Albert said via an email from the Jaguars when he announced his retirement July 31. Albert quit after three training camp practices.
According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, Jacksonville could lose the draft pick if they cannot recoup Albert's signing bonus if he does not return to the team. The Dolphins were planning to release Albert before the Jaguars expressed interest in trading for him.
Jacksonville head coach Doug Marrone discussed Albert's potential impact on the offensive front following the trade, per John Oehser of the team's official website: "Brandon is an experienced left tackle". After the 2015 season, Albert was chosen to play in the Pro Bowl for the second time in his career. AP reporter Mark Long tweeted he'd be "shocked" if the Jaguars took Albert back after his unusual and surprising retirement last week.
Branden Albert told the Jaguars he wants to play again, after retiring last week.
Jacksonville has been in New England the past couple of days for joint practices with the Patriots before Thursday's first preseason game.
Albert was the 15th overall pick by Kansas City in 2008. But if Albert isn't really into playing anymore, or isn't in good shape, is he that big of a help?
