So, I'm rebooting my D&D (Pathfinder) campaign, but rather than do a full reboot, I want to try to keep my old game going but bring in a bit of new blood. my plea on Facebook yesterday nabbed me one interested party at least.
I'm really open to "guest star" players who want to drop in on a rules light narrative weirdness kind of campaign. for me it's more about co-operative world/narrative building, and eating chips, of course.
My current storyline is kind of winding down, so I'm going to play that one out as schedules permit, and have a new player for the end of this campaign and ready, used to the other players for the next campaign.
In prep for this one, I have my arcs, my big ideas figured out, but I needed a visual starting place, really. So I googled "blank fantasy world maps" the below image (sans place names) came up first. I filled in the names myself, based on the game so far and my plans for the future.
Currently the game has 2-3 PCs (players) and me, the DM/GM... I'm hoping for one more person who can make it once a month, sometimes twice if everyone has time.
But anyway here is (based on my indecipherable notes) The Legend for the map below as well. Using the conceit of being from the NPC healer (Oracle) of the party, Gloriana's notebook... the descriptions are meant to be in her voice, what she knows about the places on the map.
is the seat of government such as it is in the Known world, the King and his retinue still have tethered to the obsidian tower, the world’s last skyship. There are more than 5 million inhabitants spread out in a low built city (no buildings over 4 stories) that actually covers about a third of is called Capital Island, despite it’s Continent size.
is an ancient ruined city that is more overgrown than ruined. the forest has reclaimed it hard. It is rumoured there are many underground caves, and ruined cities below the vine sheathed buildings above. Many an adventurer goes in, few return. There is a legend that Tiamat sleeps at the very bottom, in the oldest of old cities built on top of each other over millennia.
Are indeed the ruins of a floating City that crashed to the planet 100 years ago. Sadly, it crashed directly into the thriving City of DwarfTown, killing almost all the dwarves in the world in one fell swoop, as it was the middle of a great festival. Many an adventurer makes their early rep by the wiping out whatever wave of goblins or kobolds is squatting in the ruins on their nomadic trains crisscross Skull Island.
is thankfully bereft of dragons (most nights), and home to Pirates, Buccaneers, swashbucklers, and adventurers of every stripe. There is an unwritten rule that is oft enforced, No bounties may be claimed in the city limits. It is a beehive of activity, licit and ill, and the only “Real City” on Skull Island. There is a Governor (currently Sister Mary), a Sheriff (Currently Bess Blackthorn).... Every so often an ambitious cadre of Pirates “replaces” the old government. Sometimes as often as twice a year, though the previous to Sister Mary government had ruled for 5 years, making them something of a dynasty.
is haunted, crawling with ghouls, zombies, wights, and the occasional vampire. It also has the best library in the known world.
Is really just a black market disguised as a small lazy looking Port home to a oddly disproportionate amount of Drow for so far above ground. There is only one House remaining (out of the 50 that reigned during Operatown’s glory years 3 centuries ago, when the Frost giants still traded with the “small races.”) Since that time there has been a steady decline in working Opera houses as well as an actual working population. Most Operatown folk are transient at best, oft leaving on ship or wagon train in search of “merchandise” for half of each month. The only remaining opera house is A Drow House. Have you heard Drow Opera ? Oy!
Has a heck of a lot of Dinosaurs for such a small island, or at least that’s what the survivors all seem to agree on.
Even Slash doesn't call it that, but (I do &) it's our nigh impregnable fort that we took far too easily, and haven't been back to in aeons.
The Frost Giants used to trade with the smaller folk, until one fateful day 300 years ago, when A pirate Calling himself “the Terror Of The High Seas” said something so offensive during a trade negotiation, that the Giants have sealed themselves into their giant ice walled city on the Arctic continent.
Is a loose confederation of small island cultures that share two natural resources in abundance; star metal, and, shivel. Though, their monopoly on both has recently come into question.
The Scared Volcano is said to be the home of ancient fire Dragon and her council Of Fire Giants, Elementals, and Efreeti.
is home to thousands of freed slaves who have migrated to what is supposed to be a classless utopia, that is anything but classless, it is still the only real democracy in the known world, and is a thousand years old, as a culture.
is supposed to be a vast wasteland, but travellers have told tales of many many ruined cities, towns, and even more strange creatures and races as yet unmet in the civilization of the Known world.

Yesterday evening I was very happy to be the guest of Booktrust at the Third Sector Excellence Awards. Here’s a classically terrible photo, taken by me, of Obi Amadi (representing the health professionals who are critical to the delivery of Bookstart); Booktrust’s Chief Executive; Viv Bird, Booktrust’s Director of Programmes; Rosemary Clarke; and Paul Hudson, who heads up Booktrust’s fundraising efforts.
Booktrust were shortlisted for the most prestigious award for an organisation of the evening, The Big Impact award, for their long-running book gifting programme for babies and toddlers, Bookstart. This is a programme I’ve long admired, and, over the years, tried to find ways of supporting. I spoke about my first experience of it in this blog post.
They didn’t win this year, but to make the shortlist together with such impressive and, in some cases, very large scale organisations was a huge achievement.
The atmosphere was terrific. It was, frankly, rather humbling to be in a room with people who spent most of their lives trying to make the world better in their different ways. There were people whose own lives had been touched by the focus of the charity they were associated with (like Hannah Jones, joint winner of the Volunteer of the Year award for her work with The Brain Tumour Charity, who was picking up the award three years after her own diagnosis) as well as third-sector professionals. There were small charities and large charities. Charities with a small specific or local focus and international organisations. The sense of energy and humour in the room was enhanced by the admirably slick and funny compere, Paul Sinha.
So congratulations to Booktrust on their impressive shortlisting. They have, I know, more awards ceremonies coming up, so I for one have my fingers firmly crossed that they’ll receive all the recognition they deserve.
Dear Kate, It was wonderful to share the evening with you and though we were a tiny bit disappointed that we didn’t win – I agree with you- the competition was of a very high calibre and Social Enterprise UK was a worthy winner.
On to the next award!
Still no word about future funding for Bookstart post March 2013 – fingers cross that we can carry on.

Domino was uncooperative today. Every time I aimed the camera in her direction she immediately perked up and walked straight toward it. She thinks it’s a giant eye, and she’s mesmerized by eyes. If I want her to come to me, she resolutely ignores everything I do1 unless I get down on the floor and look at her from eye level. Then she immediately trots over. This is actually kind of fun except when I want to take a picture of her. So instead of a nice spring-ish garden picture, you get one I took yesterday as she was rolling over in her afternoon patch of sunshine. Inkblot, however, who is oblivious to everything,1 remained right where he was when I went out in the garden today. So he gets a nice spring-ish garden picture. If the weather cooperates in your neck of the woods, I hope you get to spend some time in your garden too.
1Other than opening a can of cat food, of course.

We haven’t eaten our Easter eggs yet, but an advert for Christmas 2017 has already appeared.
WFC The Venue has placed a massive advert on a digital M6 billboard that is baffling drivers, urging them to start thinking about their festive parties.
‘I couldn’t believe my eyes. I haven’t even booked my summer holidays yet so Christmas is the last thing on my mind,’ said Ben Goodman, 49, from Wolverhampton.
‘We’d just put the clocks back, it was the day after Mother’s Day and we’re not even at Easter yet.
The bright red ad near junction 10 for Walsall, reads ‘Christmas Party Nights 2017’ and features a bauble and a link to a website.
WFC The Venue, which is owned by Walsall Football Club, is not backing down though.
A spokesman for Walsall FC said: ‘The club has recently taken ownership of the sign which gives us the capability to show our own adverts.
The advert went up when the clocks went forward on March 26.

Without doubt you’ve heard about the advantages of the right diet. Getting a food lifestyle in which you eat only whole-foods will help you feel good, more powerful and you’ll look better too! Still not believing that whole-foods would be the right food lifestyle for you personally? Here are a few explanations why whole-foods are the most useful choice.
• Research has shown that eating a minimum of five fruits of vegetables each day can reduce your chance of developing cancer in two.
• Eating an eating plan composed mainly of whole-foods can decrease your chance of diabetes by upholding your glucose and bloodstream sugar levels under control.
• A life-style of eating only whole-foods will slow lower aging. Individuals who eat correctly have healthier skin, hair, teeth, bones, and nails.
• Making whole-foods choices can decrease your chance of cardiovascular disease by 30 %.
• Research has shown that eating a minimum of eight fruits of vegetables each day can decrease your chance of stroke by 25 %.
• Whole-foods are filled with antioxidants which have been shown to eliminate toxins. Toxins would be the cells that induce cancer.
• Fresh vegetables and fruit contain enzymes, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and nutrients that you can’t find every other way.
• When you eat meals comprised of whole-foods you can easily avoid foods which contain the ‘bad fats’. Additionally, it causes it to be simpler to consume enough from the ‘good fats’ from plants, fish, and liver organ.
• Whole grain products might help keep the bowels functioning correctly.
• When you eat whole-foods you could convey more. Since whole-foods are great for the body it’s not necessary to feel below par when you are set for another serving. Obviously, whole-foods are much better, which means you have a tendency to feel larger sooner.
• Whole-foods are much better total. Individuals who change to an entire foods lifestyle tend to shed weight and maintain it.
• Eating an eating plan comprised of whole-foods provides you with more energy and improve your metabolic process, and that means you can get sick less frequently.
• Individuals who eat whole-foods generally have less difficulties with allergic reactions.
• The very best whole-foods will also be organic, which will help the atmosphere and support local maqui berry farmers.
Altering the food lifestyle to meals comprised of whole-foods is much better. The body will respond rapidly towards the changes and you’ll notice just how much better you are feeling and what energy you’ve. Eating whole-foods will support a sound body and stop many illnesses.

Happy New Year to one and all. I hope each of you had a fun and festive holiday season and were able to enjoy some good beer. It’s been busy here at Mac’s and I offer you this opportunity of catch up on the latest news.
Mac the Annihilator: brewed 10-14-2014; kegged 11-22-2014. 10.3% ABV. This was ready for consumption just in time for Thanksgiving at Mac’s Brew Pub. It turned out pretty good, but not as good as I hoped for. I think I got the grain bill just right this time, and will make no further adjustments to it, but I might change up some of the hops in the future. Also, I might mash at a slightly lower temperature to get a lower finishing gravity and a drier beer.
Maktoberfest: brewed 10-28-2014; kegged 11-22-2014. 6.1% ABV. I brewed a 10 gallon batch and divided it into two 5 gallon portions for fermentation. I kegged 5 gallons and bottled the other 5 gallons. The kegged version, like MTA, was ready for drinking on Thanksgiving. I bottled the other portion 12-04-2014.
I’m stumped on this one. I pitched a little more yeast into the kegged portion, but not a whole lot more (there was a little more wort in that carboy as well), so I can’t imagine that affected the final gravity too much. I might have to check with the Brew Master, Joe Renden, to get his expert opinion.
The kegged version is pretty cloudy, which is unusual for the yeast strain used. The flavor is malty and somewhat sweet, within the Oktoberfest style range, but not as good as past versions I brewed (third place at the 2013 OC Fair under the name “Whatchamacallit”). It’s good, but not great. Now, the bottled version on the other hand, has a much cleaner appearance and flavor. It is very good, with a lager-like taste sensation and malty caramel notes. I proudly gave a case to my father for Christmas. He says he is enjoying it, consuming a couple of bottles a week.
Mac’s Black Forest Stout: brewed 12-11-2014. This beer is still conditioning in the carboy on 5 oz of cacao nibs. It is currently 8.6% ABV, and likely to stay there (the fermentation is over). The flavor is very good – I sampled a little bit of it when I took a hydrometer reading. I will probably bottle it in about 2 weeks and let it bottle condition for about 3 months. I plan to enter it into the OC Fair in May.
Red Headed Step-Child: brewed Friday 01-09-2015 (yesterday). The original gravity was high, but one gravity point lower that it was the last time I brewed this recipe. That’s to be expected, as I collected an additional half gallon of runoff this time.
Last time I brewed RHSC, I collaborated with Mike Matulich. This time I collaborated with Martin Gilberstadt and Martin Gilberstadt II. All three of us really enjoyed brew day, and we each have 5 gallons for consumption. Well, to clarify, I have 5 gallons, and they have 5 gallons between them. I plan to oak my portion, like I did last time, but will use French oak, and will use cubes rather than chips (should give a little smoother oak flavor). I think Gilberstadts are planning on dry hopping their portion. We will have to get together and sample our creations together. Martin and M-II, thanks for your company, your assistance, and the great burrito. I hope you enjoyed the experience as much as I did. Maybe we could do this again.
I’m not sure what’s up next at Mac’s Brewing. Maybe a hefeweizen or another IPA. Possibly a pale ale, or . . . so many possibilities.
That’s if for now. Cheers!

Ok, so am I the only one here who has no desire to "build a new life"?
Discussion in 'Spiritual Growth & Development' started by bluebird, Apr 14, 2013.
I keep reading threads here and various forums and articles and so forth all over the internet, which have to do with what people do and how they feel after their spouse or significant other has died.
So much of what I read is about how to feel some happiness in your day, how to cope with the loss, basically how hard and sad it is but what you can do that might help.
I read all of those things and find myself literally shaking my head "no". I do not want to "build a new life" or "get on with life" or anything like that. And I don't mean just get on with life and forget my husband -- virtually none of the things I'm reading come at it from that angle, they are all about how to incorporate the death into your existence but still get on with your life.
I have no desire to do so. And I'm not just talking about being suicidal, I mean I truly have no desire to live, no desire to even attempt to find things to make me happy, no desire to move on with life in any way. For me, it's just a matter of managing not to kill myself because I promised my family I wouldn't, and that's all every day is. There is nothing more to life, for me, but waiting to die so that I can be with my husband again. I have no energy or inclination or desire for anything else, since what I really want (for my husband not to have died and for us to be together in the life we deserve and should have had) isn't going to happen.
It's frustrating to keep reading about people trying to move on with their lives. I don't begrudge them that if that is what then want to do and what makes them happy -- that's fine for them. But I don't want that for myself. Am I seriously the only one who feels this way??
My guess is at this moment you are the only one who feels this way.
But I'm sure you are not the only one who has ever felt this way. I think it is a rather normal phase of many people's grieving process.
To me, actually, what you describe is consistent with being very depressed. When I was depressed (for years) I didn't want to build a new life or feel happy or make a sandwich when I was hungry because what was the point? Nothing was worth doing. (Sometimes I watch those shows about hoarders, and as horrifying as it is, I totally get how people sink into chaos like that.) Counseling got me to feeling only halfway sad and hopeless. I actually thought that was how most people felt, and they just had more self-discipline than I did. It wasn't until Prozac that I found out most people actually feel sad and hopeless only occasionally, and they find some things are sufficiently enjoyable that they are worth making an effort for.
For me, depression is partly biology and partly a solid thirty years of constant fear and shame and trauma. That isn't quite the same thing as having a pretty good life that is suddenly blown apart.
So anyway, as a sort of psychologist (I do have an MS in psychology, but I'm not a counsellor) I would say that the way you feel is a normal stage. It's your choice to see if you can change it, or wait until it changes itself, or just stay this way forever. I think you seem like a good person, and a pretty smart person, and I wish you could be in less pain. But there are a lot of things I wish that I can't make happen, and that seems to be my challenge in life lately.
I don’t believe people move on with their lives because it “makes them feel happy”, but feeling miserable and pissed off at a god will do absolutely nothing to bring their loved one back, so – really – what is the point?
The way I see it, there is little that can be done in regards to your situation because you have no desire to continue; it’s as if the wind has been taken off your sails. Basically, you have given up, don’t want to feel better, you just want to die, so no-one – not even your husband – can help you (and I’m sure he’s tried!).
In a previous post of yours, I read something to the effect that if you end up in the afterlife, no-one could stop you from finding your husband. You’re so angry and full of anguish, you take a very mortal approach to god, the afterlife, and how things may operate over there; do you really think that once you’re in the afterlife, you can just give them all a blast, win the argument with some higher being and join your husband? I highly doubt it, Bluebird.
You want to communicate so badly with your husband, you yearn for some type of “proof” that he continues to exist, and yet I see/read no evidence indicating that you seriously consider adopting/trying any of the suggestions that could help you do exactly that.
I think others have made several suggestions, but have you really tried any of them? I don’t believe so. Ultimately, the choice always rests with you. I wish there was more that one could offer; I, for one, am at a loss, and I truly am sorry, Bluebird.
P.S. Bluebird, I am not ticked off at you, but I am frustrated at my inability to reach you. What I wrote may be a crock, but it is how I see it… and you know I tell it the way I see it (and yes, quite possibly I am “full of it”). If I offended you in any way, I apologize.
Perhaps I'm not the only one whose current mission in life is to do what must be done and then accept that the results are beyond my control. Not just with bluebird, of course. If you want to feel ineffective, try having grown-up kids!

Spontaneous Euphoria: Soft Hands from your Kitchen!
Soft Hands from your Kitchen!
The secret for the softest hands in the world lies not in an amazingly advanced formula from that top Parisian company. Nor does it lie hidden in an old beauty store on the corner of a long forgotten alley. It lies in your kitchen. Well, only if you have olive oil and some sugar.
Anyone who knows me well is fully aware of my obsession with soft hands and nice, neat cuticles. Perhaps because I can never achieve those two for long at a stretch.
So I tried this today after reading about it somewhere a few days ago and absolutely vouch for it! (apologies, can't remember where!). It is better than any of the hundreds of hand creams I've tried or manicures I've gotten.
Rinse off and then put on some hand cream and wear gloves!
P.S. Try this wherever you want. I had some extra left in the bowl so I put some on my elbows- worked wonders there too!
Oh this sounds awesome! I totally know what you mean by 'for long at a stretch' because no matter what I use NOTHING seems to work.
What a great tip - I'm going to try this.

As we all recover from Memorial Day weekend, let’s take a minute to look back at what went down during last Thursday’s game night for the ongoing soccer league The Association. Now five weeks in, Part 5 of the league continued the spirit and energy we’ve been seeing since Part 1, this time with our good friends at Niky’s Sports who took the helm as the night’s official curator, following Part 4‘s live art show with Red Bull and The Seventh Letter.
In keeping with the sports retailer’s branding and ethos, Niky’s sports, a family-run business, kept it all in the family by presenting essentially a museum of visuals that explores Niky’s Sports as a company, and more importantly the people behind it. From framed photographs to a selection of throwback key pieces by the retailer like kits and sneakers well worthy of being displayed, guests were offered a unique look at what makes Niky’s Sports one of the best sports retailers around. Not only that, but Niky’s Sport’s pop-up space specifically for The Association was one of the incredibly rare locations that sold the much coveted adidas Energy Mode X18+ soccer cleat – a brand new silhouette from the sportswear giant.
The exhibition, as per usual, took center stage amidst the live soccer games between our eight participating teams consisting of Beats b Dre, Complex, Dash Radio, FourTwoFour on Fairfax, Jason Markk, Niky’s Sports, Red Bull, and SpaceX. And as these events go, we had free drinks and tacos on deck, as well as our resident music man DJ Kappa, and host Mando Fresko who both kept the vibes going throughout the night. Check out the official recap of The Association Part 5 throughout taken by Willie Toledo and his team, as well as the scoreboard and current standings below, then make sure to stop by this coming Thursday for Part 6!

Advertisements are essential to recruit more drivers into your fleet. Every company, trucking or otherwise, has ads for their business to try and attract new employees. What sets a successful ad campaign apart from a regular, middling one is an identity.
"What sets a successful ad campaign apart from a regular, middling one is an identity."
So how do you figure out what makes your company special, and then make ads around that? Read our 4 steps below to find out.
You have less than one second to grab a person’s attention when they are scrolling through a job site on their phone or computer. Visual images are the most effective way to get someone’s attention, so you want to find one that defines an important point about your company. This has to be both accurate and clear to a prospective driver, or you’re defeating the purpose. Try to focus on a common area of complaint like not enough home time.
Now you have their attention, you need to reel them in further. You only have 1-3 seconds, so you need to add words carefully chosen to go with your image. If you’ve chosen to focus on home time, make them a guarantee of how much home time they can expect. Try to use specifics whenever possible because a lot of companies promise “great starting pay” or “ a lot of home time” without attaching to a tangible number. Be straight with them and don’t make a promise you can’t keep.
If you’ve done the first two parts successfully, you have their attention and have generated their desire to learn more. Show them what your company is all about in a couple simple points. Keep it short and clear because the human brain is not programmed to retain a ton of information at a time. We forget details about everything we read, so cut your company’s whole culture and operation down to three aspects that will make the driver want to join.
What you want now is for that driver to contact you. Most drivers will want to ask some questions to learn more about the company anyway, so the best thing you can do is attach the number of a recruiter or the company office so he or she can get that information. Add in a link for a landing page on your website underneath the phone number so drivers can look for themselves if they are unable or unwilling to call and need that option.
This is the simplest way to get noticed in truck driver recruiting.
The main point is to have an identity built around a driver-centric culture and your own unique brand statement.

Many of us know the variability that k-fold cross validated stepwise regression might have with small samples. It is often suggested to repeat this procedure 50-100 times in order to increase the realibility of the outputs.
I was wondering if there is a way in JMP to repeat this procedure? It will save me TONS of time!
Below is an example script that repeats k-fold crossvalidation on the same stepwise model 10 times. Copied from the JMP Scripting Index, the first part of this script runs a stepwise regression model and then performs a k-fold crossvalidation with 5 folds. The second piece makes the table box containing the step history and best model statistics into a data table for each iteration, and concatenates all the data tables together into one K-Fold Results table. You can of course choose to make a different table box of results into an output table, or none at all.

But this particular song is too sweet not to share with you. There is just *something* special about hearing so many children’s and young people’s voices lifted in praise to our great King.
A friend wrote and composed it.
Children and young people of all ages sang it.
Some of the mothers’ of our congregation graciously agreed to join in.
The words came directly from Psalm 4.
This song was difficult to learn, but they pushed on. And it sounded wonderful! The children and young people have all been blessed with beautiful voices, and they all use the gift God has given them to bring glory to His Name.
May this song bless you as you listen!

In 2013, we had gorillas in our midst. Last year it was the elephant parade and for 2015 it’s Go Go Dragons. Expect to chase the technicolor creatures along the Norwich dragon trail this June. Now call me a party pooper if you want, but I thought the purpose of these campaigns was to highlight the desperate plight of endangered animals. The last time I looked, dragons, unicorns and centaurs, fun and fantastic as they may be, don’t actually exist. I know, shut it, Jack. The kids will love it.
Hmm – perhaps it’s the fact that they don’t exist and that will soon be the fate of Gorillas and Elephants that is the point? Could be a very clever way of bringing the message about extinction home….
. . of course they exist, I’ve read about them in books – and seen pictures – and what about Smaug the Magnificent? He bloody-well exists! Jesus, Jack, you really need to get out more!
I’m not sure kids will love this dinosaur, I don’t like the look in it’s eye.
. . you’re Potty . . Harry Flatters!
“The proceeds of this project will fund the valuable work of Norfolk charity Break who support vulnerable children, young people and families across East Anglia. #GGD15” Guess they’re not fund-raising for critters this time around.
In previous years the Elephants and Gorillas were auctioned off after the event and at least some of the proceeds did go to animal charities, Born Free being one if them. As worthy as Break are it would be a shame if they got all the support.
These dragons have odd heads! The gorillas were much more appealing. My favourite was Earnest. He stoo outside The Playhouse in his pinstripe suit and styled himself ‘Dapper gorilla’ on his Twitter feed. He really made me smile.
One of these dragons is getting a chain mail armour suit made from donated 2p pieces. They seem to have misunderstood the whole St George thing!
From the website, it certainly looks like Break will get all the proceeds. I agree it would be better to spread the love a little wider. I remember Ernest well. We used to rent in St George’s Street before we bought a flat near Chapelfield.

A Glimpse At My Day – Part II | Who Needs a Nap?
THEN. The highlight of my day arrives.
8:30am – The clouds part and heavenly rays shine down on my house as in walks… AMANDA. Amanda is our sitter, a.k.a my Savior. She is absolutely, without a doubt every single member of my family’s Favorite Person in the World. And a better mother to my children than I am. I WISH I were exaggerating. I’m not. Ask people that know us. If they’re one of my closest friends, they might lie, but you’ll be able to tell because their left eye will start twitching.
You know your babysitter wish list? Patient, energetic, easy-going, fun, enthusiastic, sporty, artistic, creative, imaginative… and oh yeah, REALLY GOOD at dealing with your kids’, um, unique eccentricities? Yeah, Amanda is all of those. Her only real flaw? She likes country music. Especially the pop crossover stuff. (Note: Nothing warms a Dad’s heart like hearing his 3-year old son sing Taylor Swift songs. While playing with his American Girl doll.) But given all of her other qualities, we decided we could overlook this imperfection. We’re super-kind like that.
OK, back to the schedule.
9:00am – 5:00pm – During these hours, each day is extremely different from the next. So I’m going to give you a random sampling of the types of things that I might do everyday. I thought about subdividing it into categories (kids activities, errands, appointments, house management stuff, school/volunteer duties), but then I decided that a stream of consciousness description of a typical day would be more effective.
Clear breakfast dishes, load dishwasher, and toss [third] full cup of cold coffee. Eat some granola bar. Think about working out. Nah. Clean up the toys that are all over the kitchen floor, bring to toy box. Spot truck with dead batteries, take it to kitchen to fix. Open the drawer to get screwdriver and remember that I really want to take apart D’s crib today. Go upstairs to do that and see overflowing laundry basket. Pause to deal with crying kid. Get ice pack. Get Band-Aid. Collect dirty laundry from every bedroom and bring it to laundry room. See that there’s still wet laundry is the washer that’s been there for two days. Set that to rinse. Again. Plan to come back later to continue laundry (THAT’LL happen). Help boys get ready to go out. Many, many minutes spent here on socks, shoes, begging, coats, snacks, hats, yelling, drinks, mittens and time-outs. Take G to “school” for an hour-and-a-half. Watch him dig through oatmeal while gossiping with other Moms. Back home. Pay special attention to other kid. Help him adorn his knight costume. Remind him that swords don’t get pointed at people, only the ground or sky. Laugh at the ridiculousness of that. Ask him if he wants to sit on the potty. Watch him laugh at the ridiculousness of that. Change a light bulb. Iron on a Daisy patch. Lunchtime. Eat whatever’s sitting in the fridge. Pick 18 Goldfish and three pieces of cheese and four apple slices off the floor and remind D that “poopy” and “diaper” are not appropriate meal time words. Eat some (hopefully clean) goldfish and apple slices. And M&Ms. And cake. And wine (kidding! Or am I?). Sit down at computer to read emails. See one from the school nurse that says there is a case of lice in the Kindergarten classroom. WOOHOO! Scratch head. Research online special lice-prevention remedies. Order them. Scratch head. While online, also research/order/schedule three kids’ birthday presents, a new hat for G because his head is too giant to fit in hand-me-downs, lawn care for the summer of 2012, handyman appointment to install our new microwave,* and a new cookbook called “3-Minute Dinners for People Who SERIOUSLY Can’t Cook!” (Actually, if this is real, someone please send it to me immediately). Scratch head. Call sister and convince her to meet you at Starbucks so she can check your scalp for lice. Back home. Start to pay bills, realize that we’ve been triple charged by the pediatrician’s office/Verizon/heating oil company. Call them. Please Hold. Please continue to hold. After 20 minutes, get no resolution because you have to speak to a different department/submit your request in writing/jump through fiery hoop.** Scream in frustration. Call husband to vent, don’t get enough sympathy from him so call sister. Think about working out. Nah. Ah! The crib! Take apart crib. It’s not coming apart so curse shoddy workmanship. (Shut up, I know that doesn’t make any sense). Carry it, piece-by-piece to the basement. Stub toe. Bang elbow. Bump head. Realize that things in the basement are moldy. Research “moldy basement” and then order a dehumidifier for the storage room. Have healthy debate with husband about why we need that $200 piece of equipment and why moldy baby stuff is not cute. Get D ready for doctor’s appointment. Assure him that shots only hurt for a second. Yes, he can have a lollipop. And ice cream. And a new toy. Whatever. Get to doctor’s office. Please wait. Please continue to wait. Get shots. Deal with FREAKING OUT child. Stop at pharmacy to pick up antibiotics for ear infection.*** Get home in time to meet C’s bus. Hear, “Look! That squished worm is still there! Is Amanda here? I ONLY want to play with Amanda. Is today a bath day? What’s for dinner? PLEASE can we have pasta? Or French fries?” Pick up the coats that are strewn all over the floor. Empty backpack of half-eaten apple and artwork. Bury artwork under garbage. Clean up kitchen. Check email. Deal with various annoying issues. Respond to various annoying people. Commit to various annoying things. Check calendar. Make plans. Confirm plans. Cancel plans. Start to think about dinner. Dread dealing with dinner.**** Run out to the store to buy something for dinner. Wish there was hot coffee left. Make some variety of protein/carb/veggie combo for dinner. Dole out yogurts because they won’t eat protein/carb/veggie combo. And sadly – very, very sadly – say goodbye to Amanda.
And that, my friends, is a typical afternoon. And it didn’t even include a visit to the ER!
As you could guess, dinner, post-dinner and bedtime is its own ball of chaos, so I’m going to save that treat for Part III. Edge of your seats, right? I know. This site is like the Bourne Identity of parenting blogs.
*If you’re wondering why I needed a handyman to install a microwave, I don’t blame you. But trust me, after I attempted to install it myself (buried deep in some cabinet, grounded with metal and wires) I really did need a handyman. Because I didn’t want to DIE.
**I’m sure I don’t have to tell many of you that dealing with issues related to customer service could be a full-time job alone. But don’t really jump through any fiery hoops.
***Doesn’t matter why you go to the pediatrician’s office, someone ALWAYS leaves with an ear infection. Sometimes it’s the kid going for the bruised wrist, sometimes it’s the kid going for the six-month check-up, sometimes it’s the sibling who’s along for the free stickers… but SOMEONE is always on an antibiotic by the end of the visit.
**** This does NOT change. Ever. This happens EVERY. DAMN. DAY.
PS. If you’re thinking that this blog is a little heavy on the poop talk, YOU’RE RIGHT. And you’re starting to get a small taste of what it’s like to live in my house. Charming, I know.
PPS. If you’re thinking that this blog is a little heavy on the typos, YOU’RE RIGHT AGAIN. I don’t have an editor. I do a one-time read through, spell-check and then I let it go, people. That’s just how breezy I am.
“Bury artwork under garbage.” – I do this. You have to bury it well because when they go to throw out their fruit snack wrapper they will see the tiniest corner or that artwork and a full on tantrum will ensue.
SO TRUE… and then the GUILT. Definitely worth getting your hands dirty to push that sucker way down into the garbage can.
I started researching it, but then I got distracted by… wait, what?
I hide thrown out artwork too…from kid & from hubby. Like I have THAT much storage in my house. PUH-LEASE!
Thanks Angela! What could possibly be pathetic about all that poop??
could you have gotten funnier?
I LOVE these posts…laughing out LOUD like crazy….
Hilarious..you have brightened an otherwise dull Friday…looking forward to the next instalment. Happy to hear of another member of the ‘I really dont do smiley faces in emails/txts’ group!

Same F2, quick off problem here. Then I noticed that the gray plug on the power cord was not completely flush with the connector on the pad. I shoved them together until there is no gap. The unit's worked perfectly since then.
I had this problem with a heating pad too. I tried turning it off, unplugging it, then plug it back in and see if the light is still blinking. If it's not, set it to the temp you want. My heating pad was very temperamental that way, it didn't want to be set before it was plugged in. I hope this works for you.
I have a Sunbeam heating pad with the SW204 controller that the High light blinks when it is plugged in. I called Sunbeam and the first thing they said is it cannot be plugged into a surge protector. Next, to reset it unplug it from the wall, then unplug the controller from the heating pad. Wait 30 seconds, then plug the controller back into the heating pad and then into the wall. It did the trick. However, when I move it to the bedroom plug it does the same blinking. Sunbeam is sending me a replacement heating pad. They appear to be very good with Customer Service since it is more than a year old.
I have a Sunbeam model 970 heat pad. I plugged in and controller just reads F2....I can't find any instructions or know how to fix. Can you help?
Otherwise, you might need to use their contact us feature and ask directly.
This is a very common feature on these types of simple, high-volume, low-cost home appliances known as a safety fault. This fault will temporarily (or permanently) disable the appliance and happens for several reasons: (1) an over-temp (high heat) occurrence, (2) an over-power (power surge) occurrence, (3) an under-power (power outage or trickle power) occurrence, (4) an over-time occurrence (auto-off fails), (5) a short-circuit occurrence (exposed/crossed/frayed wires, etc.). Fortunately, it uses a digital "fuse" system and can be reset by the user. However, there is no universal reset process on SoftHeat products so you just have to play with it until you figure it out (customer service dept is no help). Mine is a Kaz SoftHeat HP980PT, with a red power indicator/power-off button and 4 green heat setting buttons. Mine faulted after a heavy storm caused multiple power outages and power surges in my neighborhood. The green light on the highest heat setting button was flashing on mine. Here's how I fixed it: (1) unplugged both ends of power cord and straightened out the cord, then plugged back in to the heating pad end. (2) While holding down the flashing light button, I plugged back in to the wall outlet. (3) While still holding down the flashing light button, pressed and held down the red power-off button, then while still holding down the red power button, I released the flashing light button, followed by releasing the power-off button. This stopped the flashing green light and caused the red power indicator light to stay on (steady-on). It works fine now. Note: Some models have an actual hard fuse in addition to the digital fault feature or possibly only a simple fuse (without the digital fault system). These fuses can the found at many retail stores and then very easily replaced. I hope this helps some of you!!!
sadly we have no cords here try where you purchased it or the manufacturer's website .

Curriculum developers will work with teachers to do such things as order books and materials for instructional practice, they will also regularly observe teachers in order to make recommendations on changes that may increase the overall performance of students. They may also be involved in understanding and then interpreting state guidelines as well as possess the ability to make changes to school curricula.
A curriculum developer will need to have a grasp on technology, and will need to keep pace with advances occurring in order to provide classrooms with up-to-date instruction and development. While equipment ages, it is possible that you will need to authorize maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. When there is growth in the technology, it will be your job to examine whether or not that technology is to be integrated into the curriculum. A lot of positions will demand that you fully understand Adobe software and Microsoft Office. Additionally, you must know how to use the internet.
With these advances will come a significant change in the way teachers instruct and the way that students will learn. As much of the text will become digital, it’s imperative the curriculum developer stays connected and learns just how to incorporate technological advancements into the classroom.
For qualification, you must hold a master’s degree in teaching, curriculum, and information, or educational administration. You may also be required to hold a teaching license, as well as other certifications or licenses, determined by the state where you are employed. Certain private schools and adult remedial programs will not demand a teaching license for curriculum developers. Should you be working with middle school or secondary schools, you have to be specialized in a subject like geography, mathematics or English. You may even be expected to take continuing education training for the duration of your employment. Some educational institutions must have curriculum specialists with a Ph.D., or even a degree in medicine or law, but the majority will only require you to hold a Master’s Degree.
Educating teachers may be a big element of a curriculum developer’s job. At times, this instruction is scheduled for after-school groups and meetings. In other cases, you may instruct the teacher’s class and permit the teacher to observe a fresh teaching method. You need to feel comfortable guiding both pupils and teachers. A part of your teaching for teachers is going to be through mentoring.
As previously stated, working through this position can certainly require that you travel to the educational facilities for meetings and trainings. Reports suggest that any travel time will likely be limited.
It’s projected that by the year 2018, the number of curriculum developers will reach almost 165,000; a 23-percent increase in open positions. Individuals who are experts in mathematics, science and then reading are going to be in high demand. Those who represent the continuing education programs, students with special needs, as well as the programs devoted to English as a second language, will also be in a very high demand.
It’s proposed that the tremendous boost of growth will be as a result of changes that will be transpiring in education standards. Cutting edge curricula will have to be created to combine state and federal standards. Furthermore, teachers will need training with regards to how to apply these guidelines in their classrooms.
Salaries can vary with specific locations, and it usually depends on the school district’s financial constraints. It’s reported that the standard curriculum developer earns approximately $61, 000 annually, and the majority of these developers receive salaries ranging from $34, 000 to $91,000, roughly.
Typically, curriculum specialists start out their careers in teaching contracts or even in administrative positions. And informational coordinator, based on what experts suggest, may move to a higher administrative position or even depart from the education field altogether; opting to work in the private sector as a director or an executive. Curriculum developers can also write curricula for special education.
In contrast to other educators, most do not have their summers off, as their program runs year-round. They can at times, be required to perform extended hours. A lot of curriculum developers often visit schools so that they can consult with administrators and teachers.
The curriculum developer will spend a considerable amount of time meeting with school administrators. When meeting with teachers, many curriculum developers will need to schedule their meetings before and after school, in order to accommodate a teacher’s availability. There may also be times that you will be responsible for choosing particular textbooks that are based on the curriculum that you’ve designed.
The overall goal for most curriculum developers is to raise standardized test scores when working at public schools. However, some concentrate on other fields like education for the gifted and talented. In efforts made to raise students’ test scores, curriculum developers may often be required to explain newer standards to teachers, and then to assist them in implanting these changes to their approach in teaching and delivering lesson plans.
The two major aspects of curriculum developers’ responsibilities are developing and planning curricula as well as mentoring teachers in discussing that information successfully. By doing this, you should possess a range of skills. With each and every job comes a number of opportunities to improve skills that you may already possess. While you evaluate all career options, consider the skills and talents you possess and also what you can do to develop any other additional abilities.
You will have to possess a faculty to communicate tactfully and clearly with other people. A big component of the job entails interpersonal communication. Quite a bit of the work will involve collaborating with teams, developing strategies, assessing current practices, and instructing people. In addition, you must be in a position to take criticism well, and then you’ll also need to have the ability to present constructive criticism when appropriate.
An added intangible skill that you will need is creativity, as it can often aid you in curriculum creation, training information, questionnaires as well as other instructional elements. Creativity is crucial in considering supplementary teaching methods; solutions to gauge the effectiveness of teaching patterns along with educating students and teachers.
Analytical abilities can be a significant attribute of a curriculum developer. You should be in a position to read the education standards and understand their meaning to decide whether the curriculum complies with the guidelines. Additionally, you will need to ascertain whether or not the curriculum is age appropriate and is in accordance with all students’ reading and comprehension levels.
Writing skills are an essential asset in curriculum development. Students and teachers can depend on the information you supply for their education and teaching experience. You may also be required to write grant proposals, as well as other technical reports. Together with the ability to write, you should be able to provide that information to the target audience to which you find yourself writing. You have to be structured and to the point in your choice of words.
A lot of positions will demand that you have teaching experience. This demand is often a useful skill as it can provide you with a lot more credibility whenever working with teachers to develop their instructing skills. It may also provide you with a much better perspective on why exactly the teacher is doing certain things. Administrative knowledge will help you to understand the objectives and overall functions of the institution.
I found this article when searching almost the exact title of this article. I was excited to see there was a little write up about this and that it is recent. I was telling my boss how I would like to become a writer for early childhood education curriculum but was unsure if that would ever be a possibility for me.

Sensors are one of the most essential pillars of any intelligent electronics system. They provide the real world interface for a wide range of applications, whether for city infrastructures, industrial automation and control, or wearable devices, all use large arrays of sensors for collecting data. This data serves as inputs to the main control system (like a Processor or a Microcontroller) enabling intelligent decision-making. Sensors are the eyes and ears of a system, capturing critical information of the physical world and, converting these physical parameters into signals which can be measured electrically.
Sensors can be broadly classified based on the physical parameters they detect or measure, and suited to different markets and applications. Therefore, when designing intelligent systems, choosing the right sensor is critical. Certain features need to be considered when selecting the right sensor.
Analogue sensors produce a continuous output signal, ranging from a few mico-volts (uV) to several milli-volts (mV), proportional to the quantity being measured. These signals are too low to be measured so some form of amplifier is used to amplify the signal. An analogue-to digital (ADC) is used to convert the analogue signal into the digital form in order to obtain precision and accuracy, as well as to provide readable inputs to the main control system, typically a microcontroller.
Digital Sensors produce discrete output signals that are a digital representation of the quantity being measured. They produce a binary output signal in the form of logic “1” or logic “0”. The signal measured is directly converted into a digital signal output inside the sensor itself allowing it to have greater resolution and higher accuracy compare to analogue type sensors.
Farnell elemnet14 has a wide range of sensors from industry leading suppliers, provide the engineers with the choices required to develop various applications, based on specifications such as sensitivity, range, precision, resolution and accuracy from industrial applications to the latest consumer devices. Use our parametric filters to refine your search results based on your required specifications.

Twitter diversifying into ecommerce since it turned profitable due to revenue from ads. It could be loosely based on FB Marketplaces or Instagram enabling SMB.
Twitter eCommerce means a twitter store like facebook store there people would sell their products through a twitter account. The owner could make and edit their listing with high definition pictures and product description.
The goal of a twitter eCommerce: To expand its customer base by allowing the businesses to list their catalog and users to buy and use their data to give more personalized services and experience. In long run, they could also ask a cut from businesses on per transaction basis.
Is this design for web or app?
Since 80 percent twitter users are from Mobile. I would go for an app.
I would like to discuss about users and their personas then I would go through their interaction with the product i.e use cases. After that, I would prioritize use cases by offering alternative solutions and finally, I would evaluate these solutions tradeoff in terms of impact vs effort.
Twitter user between the age of 18-29 according to Twitter statistics 40 percent of users fall in this age group.
Based on the business goal to increase its user base I would prefer designing platform for twitter users. Businesses are also important but it won't impact much in an expansion of its customer base.
As a user, I should be able to put my address and confirm my order.
As a user, I should get an order confirmation.
Number 2,3,4 are important because I would be more interested in looking product details and order confirmation.
What is the problem with the current design? Let's say users are not buying the products.
Do we need the redesign for the web app or mobile app? I would assume mobile app as the majority of the users are on mobile.
- As a user, I want my PII information to be hidden from the business owner.
- As a user, I should be able to return the product if it is defective.
We will focus on use-case 2, re-design the way the campaigns are set up and provide better targeting capability. The better the targeting, the more probability for a user to buy the product.
2, 3 & 4 as MVP.
Product vision: Connect the buyers and suppliers throughout the world with similar interest.
Advertisements: Advertisements in between the content as regular news feed.
Promote users to share their purchase stories with hashtags (just after they made a purchase).
It will enable other users to trust twitter as a shopping platform.
And, show it as a small icon on the bottom-left of the page.
Similar to whatsapp status messages/videos.
It will enable users to see what their friends (people they followed) are selling.
It will also enable the suppliers to showcase their best items.
Pre-booking festive sale page territory: The items would show on the top to each user on www.twitter.com/marketplace) as sliding banner images.

In a published decision, Sandra Nicholas et al. v. Hackensack University Medical Center et al., 456 N.J. Super. 110 (App. Div. 2018), the Appellate Division reversed the lower court’s order granting Hackensack University Medical Center (“HUMC”) summary judgment based on the lower court’s erroneous determination that the plaintiffs’ expert did not qualify as an expert witness under the Patients First Act. In Nicholas, the plaintiffs, Sandra Nicholas and Cory Leo, individually and as administrators ad prosequendum of the estate of their son, Santino Michael Leo, filed a wrongful death and survivorship medical malpractice complaint against HUMC and their son’s treating physicians. While Santino Michael Leo was receiving treatment at HUMC’s pediatric intensive care unit (“PICU”), he contracted an airborne infection and pneumonia, and died the following month. In support of the plaintiffs’ allegations against the treating physicians, they filed an Affidavit of Merit from Dr. Howard Eigen. Throughout the course of litigation, Dr. Eigen authored three expert reports wherein he opined that the defendants deviated from the standard of care required of them and the deviations proximately caused the child’s death. Dr. Eigen testified at his deposition that he was board certified in pediatrics and in the subspecialty of pediatric critical care, and was credentialed at a hospital to practice pediatric and pediatric critical care medicine. Dr. Eigen further testified that between 2006 and 2011, he devoted twenty-five percent of his time to direct patient care in the PICU.
Based on Dr. Eigen’s testimony, the defendant physicians and HUMC filed motions for summary judgment arguing that Dr. Eigen was not qualified to testify as an expert under the Patients First Act because he did not devote the majority of his professional time to the clinical practice of pediatrics and pediatric critical care during the year preceding the alleged malpractice. The lower court agreed with the defendants and barred Dr. Eigen’s standard of care and proximate cause testimony as to HUMC and the treating physicians. The lower court then granted the defendants’ motions for summary judgment because by barring Dr. Eigen’s testimony, the plaintiffs lacked the necessary expert testimony to support their medical malpractice claim.
The plaintiffs appealed the lower court’s decision to bar Dr. Eigen’s testimony against HUMC and grant HUMC summary judgment. The Appellate Division held that Dr. Eigen satisfied the first requirement of the Patients First Act to qualify as an expert because he was board certified in pediatrics and pediatric critical care, and therefore, he practiced in the same specialty and subspecialty as the defendant physicians. The Court further ruled that Dr. Eigen satisfied the additional requirement to offer expert testimony because he was credentialed at a hospital to provide pediatric and pediatric critical care. Under the plain language of the Patients First Act, because Dr. Eigen was credentialed by a hospital to treat patients for the medical condition that was the basis for the claim, he was not required to devote a majority of his professional time to the practice of the same specialty in which the defendants were licensed. Accordingly, because Dr. Eigen was a qualified expert permitted to offer testimony as to the treating physicians and HUMC, the plaintiffs’ complaint against HUMC was reinstated.

Thomas More's Utopia is fascinating and fairly easy reading if you choose a recent translation (from the Latin) that exploits the wordplay and satire of the work. It's especially important and interesting to SF&F readers because, along with Plato's Republic (which I do intend to read - some day), it's the basis for most utopia/dystopia fiction, e.g. Brave New World, 1984, Fahrenheit 451.
Sir Thomas himself is also an interesting, contradictory, and perplexing historical figure who acts as a nice gateway into learning about Renaissance history and thought.

Schools and Universities have their own set of Facilities Management issues, and Insolroll has solutions designed for them.
Solar Shades and Sun Shades block unwanted glare while maintaining a connection to the outside environment. Reducing the visible light transmitting into a room with a solar screen allows students to see electronic and blackboard presentation without glare and without darkening the room. Teachers can see the students and make sure they are engaged in class.
The broad range of activities and tasks happening in schools make durability and function in window treatments extremely important. Printed shades can further enhance spaces with special applications.
Daylighting in architecture has intensified the need for blackout shades in today’s media-dependent world.
Large windows and building orientation can make media-viewing challenging in school settings. Even the extremely bright lamps in new technological devices used by teachers today are sometimes not enough to allow clear viewing by students.
Many rooms in schools have multiple purposes, for instance doing double duty as a cafeteria and an assembly/presentation room. A large gymnasium with small, high windows can be too bright for a crowd to see a video presentation clearly in the middle of the day.
Window treatments placed in schools are subject to high safety standards.
Insolroll® can digitally print solar screen and blackout shades in-house with Emergency Exit to meet fire safety standards on doors and egress windows. Shown: printed solar shade indicating location of emergency exit from room without exterior door.
Our Quiet Spring Roller (QSR) system allows cord free operation of shades that are within reach, and features much more precision and durability than spring operated roller shades of the past.
Especially in warmer areas and where school building are in use year round, High Performance solar screen fabrics can play a significant role in lowering cooling costs.
Solar Fabrics with KOOLBLACK™ Technology from Mermet offer cost-saving solutions to buildings with west and east-facing windows where glare reduction is a priority.
Innovative technology improves dark fabric’s ability to reflect near infrared radiation (NIR) in the sunlight that strikes east- and west-facing windows. This significantly reduces heat gain. Glare is controlled, interiors are more visually comfortable, and heat is controlled more effectively than with standard dark-colored solar screen fabric.
North and south exposures with less intense sun exposure can be covered with the color coordinated Equinox fabrics, allowing overall savings on the project.
Consistent streetside aesthetics… dark fabrics facing out and all windows looking virtually the same whether screens are up or down.
SilverScreen High Performance solar screen fabric features an ultra-fine layer of aluminum bonded to the back of the fabric, improving heat performance for dark colors and glare performance for light colors.
Today’s commercial building practices often specify sustainable materials, and Insolroll’s Shades of Green Program features 2 commercial quality sustainable fabrics.
100% recyclable with active post-industrial and post-consumer scrap reclamation program.

If you've been watching the popular cable television channel Cartoon Network recently, you've no doubt noticed the ads for a new "Teen Titans" animated series. CBR/Comics2Film even featured a review of the first two episodes recently. But what you may not know is that the series is hugely popular already, just two weeks into its life and that fans of the show, based on the popular DC Comics franchise (which has been revived by Geoff Johns and Mike McKone), will get a companion comic book series this fall. CBR News caught up with "Teen Titans Go" writer J. Torres, a regular columnist on CBR, and spoke with him about his plans for the series.
"'Teen Titans Go' is a new ongoing series based on the Cartoon Network animated show," said Torres. "Our first issue is scheduled to be in stores Nov. 26. That issue has art by Todd Nauck with Larry Stucker and a cover by Dave Bullock. We're trying to make it as fun and dynamic and action-packed and funny as the show!"
If you're not familiar with the Teen Titans of past or the characters in the current animated or comic book series, Torres says you need not worry- this will be a reader friendly series. But if that isn't consolation enough, he offers a brief introduction to the main players in "Teen Titans Go." "Robin is the leader and brains of the operation. Cyborg is the backbone, the physical and emotional strength of the group, if you will. Starfire is the heart of the group and its 'positive energy.' Raven is not exactly the 'negative' to Starfire's positive, but she definitely provides a kind of balance with her sarcasm and brooding nature. And of course there's Beast Boy the cute comic relief. I took the 'Which Teen Titan are you?' quiz on the Cartoon Network site and got Beast Boy. Obviously, I am cute and funny too, and will approach this these characters in a cute and funny manner, which is appropriate for a comic book based on such a cute and funny show."
Lest the fans of the original Teen Titans worry, Torres says he's a big fan of Speedy, Wonder Girl and all the rest of those Titans you only find in the comics… for now. "Oh, yeah!" says the co-creator of the "Sidekicks" series for Oni Press of his affection for the Teen Titans. "'The New Teen Titans' for sure. I clearly remember my introduction to that series. Issue #7. 'Assault on Titans Tower.' Picked it up at the corner store. Talk about dating myself! I also remember digging stories of the original Teen Titans in reprint books like those DC Digests. In case you haven't heard, I kinda have this thing for sidekicks [smiles]."
While Torres would have probably knocked down doors at DC for this project, luckily it was DC who came to him with the proposal and he explains, "About a couple of months or so ago Lysa Hawkins contacted me and asked if I'd be interested in working on a 'Titans project.' I said, 'Very much so.' When I later found out it was going to be the comic book based on the new cartoon, I almost said I'd do it for free!"
The other big superhero animated series on television, "Justice League," also has a comic book counterpart, "Justice League Adventures," and the stories in that comic tend to be completed in one issue, a trend you'll see carried over in Torres Titan's tenure. "I've been asked to write single issue stand-alone stories for starters just like the show is written. I believe the show won't be doing any two-parters until the end of the first season. There is of course that recurring subplot involving Slade, but if I said any more on that I'd probably have to kill you."
me here, and it's obvious from my other work like 'Sidekicks' that the Teen Titans are favorites, so I couldn't have been offered a cooler gig if you tried to tailor something for me. Now, here's hoping I can exploit this opportunity and really reach even more young readers with this series. In our attempts to be taken more seriously and produce more 'mature' comics, and all that time we went around exclaiming 'comics aren't just for kids', we kind of threw the baby out with the bath water, you know? We've serviced the aging fanboys enough, we need to start getting them while they're young again, don't you think?"
"As for what I know in advance about the show, at this point I've seen up to the sixth ep but I have descriptions of the eps for the entire first season... and beyond. As I said before, if I went on, I'd have to kill you."
The writer also realizes that many comic fans may be resistant to trying a comic book they see as "not real" because it isn't "in continuity" and so Torres says he'll do his best to satisfy old fans, but he's aiming to make it fun for all the kids who might come into comic stores after watching "Teen Titans." "Hopefully, we strike a nice balance between the new and the old. I think that's what the cartoon really has going for it. There's plenty there for Titans fans nostalgic for the Wolfman/Perez days or the fun of old superhero toons like the 'Super Friends,' as well as a lot of 'cool' stuff to attract the younger kids who are into manga and anime, and maybe grew up watching 'Powerpuff Girls' and 'Pokemon.' I spoke to my eight year old nephew about the cartoon the other day. We haven't had this much to share and mutually geek out about since we both got a PS2."
And if you've got any queries about art, Torres sums it up succinctly, saying, "Todd Nauck is on board for the inaugural issue (maybe more depending on his schedule). He worked on 'Young Justice.' 'Nuff said."
One question on everyone's mind has to be: J. Torres, what do you think of the "Teen Titans" animated series? "You know, when I first heard about the show and saw the early promo art, I got excited pretty fast," admits Torres. "I mean, it's the Teen Titans in an anime-influenced cartoon. Glenn Murakami must have a direct line to Santa Claus because I don't know who else could have told him about my wish list."
Though everyone has a month or so before they can pre-order their copy of "Teen Titans Go #1," Torres is already providing the best reason to do so: "Because all the other cool kids (both young and young at heart) will! I urge retailers to really give this book a chance. It's the perfect 'gateway' comic for young readers. The show is a hit, so order lots of copies and remember that the first issue is coming out a month before Christmas and what's a cooler stocking stuffer than a comic book? Plus, I encourage all you 'older' Titans fans out there to pick up an issue and share it with a son, daughter, niece, nephew, neighbor's kid, etc. The Teen Titans have always been about the next generation, and the old guard passing on a certain legacy to the new. Need I say more? Please stop me before I embarrass myself further... just pick up the book!"

What is Testocyp 200 Dragon Pharma?
Dragon pharma testosterone cypionate 200 mg is injectable anabolic steroids. One vial is 10 ml and made in Europe.
n the following section we go into detail about Testosterone Cypionate, a synthetic version of the naturally produced testosterone hormone. In particular, we look at exactly what Testosterone Cypionate is, average doses, the effects you can expect, the side effects you should watch out for, and more.
Testosterone Cypionate is nearly identical to Testosterone Enanthate in that both are pure versions of synthetic testosterone hormone. Naturally produced in all people with higher levels typically found in men, synthetic testosterones like Testosterone Cypionate are carefully constructed in labs and sold in a pure form. Because of this, it carries a 100 rating when measuring the anabolic/androgenic structure. Having been around for some time, it is tested and relied upon to help treat conditions of low testosterone, as well as drops suffered after leaving steroid cycles. Fantastic for adding size and strength, Testosterone Cypionate is often used as a steroid for bodybuilders looking to improve their building and cutting cycles. Central to the success of Testosterone Cypionate is that it provides results slowly over time instead of all at once like with Testosterone Suspension.
If you are suffering from naturally low levels of testosterone, then most physicians will recommend between 100 – 200mg a week to bring you to the correct level. If you are recovering from a steroid cycle, then consider around 200-500 mg a week. For those using it as part of an active cycle, then you can use upwards of 500 – 1000mg. a week. Regardless of the size of the dosage, it is typical to break it up into two equal doses delivered over the week. Understand that you will experience diminishing results with the more you take. Also know that higher dosages carry increased risk of side effects.
Oftentimes Testosterone Cypionate will be used in a bulking and cutting cycle. However, it can also be used on its own as its results are beneficial. Plan to have periods where you stop taking it to allow your system to recover and adjust. Doing so will help to decrease the risk of side effects and leave you healthier overall. This is commonly known as Post Cycle Therapy (PCT). As a final note, women may take Testosterone Cypionate to help with low levels of testosterone. However, dosing should be carefully monitored by a doctor as to stop virilization from occuring.
What Is The Best Mix With Testosterone Cypionate?
Because it is a simple synthetic testosterone, Testosterone Cypionate works with just about any steroid you might consider for either bulking or cutting. However, be aware that while it works really well with other steroids, it will not stack with other synthetic testosterones. As stated above, Testosterone Cypionate can be used both during cycles as well as on its own to provide the benefits you are looking for.
Testosterone Cypionate is among the easiest to find and purchase online. Know that you will need to look outside the US in order to find a provider. To decrease the chance of you wasting money, get a recommendation for a supplier from a friend or trusted source. It is a schedule III controlled substance in the US.
People prefer Testosterone Cypionate because it helps to add strength and endurance. On top of that, it provides nearly every anabolic steroid benefit to some degree. Growing muscles will require increasing calories. At the same time, the Testosterone Cypionate will help to burn out water weight as well as excess fat that you may have accumulate. Understand that simultaneously dieting may reduce the positive effects of Testosterone Cypionate as it will impede muscle growth. With more lean muscle mass development, you will experience increased endurance throughout your workout. With more progress every workout, you will kick your gym game to the next level.
As we mentioned above, side effects primarily result from higher doses. One of the biggest threats facing men is the high probability of the molecules reacting with the aromatase enzyme and converting to estrogen if you use too much of this. This can have feminizing effects including breast growth. Excess water retention, DHT side effects, and some minor cardiovascular side effects can all occur.
The normally dose is 100-200 mg a week, but the excellent results were found in the middle of about 500 mg for first time users and between 500 – 1000 mg per week for more advanced athletes.

John Moewen Ames. One of the leading business institutions of Caney, Kansas, is that operating under the name of Kan-o-Tex Refining Company, an industry which has contributed materially to the importance of this city as a center of business activity. The credit for the success of this enterprise is largely due to its president, John McEwen Ames, a man of broad experience and marked business talents, who, until coming to Caney in 1915, had been identified with large business corporations in the East.
Mr. Ames was born in New York City, New York, February 12, 1867, and is a son of John Hubbard and Sarah Lucy (Hyde) Ames. He belongs to a family which originally came from England to Weathersfield, Connecticut, during colonial times, and on his father’s side has Revolutionary ancestors, one being Ithiel Battle, the grandfather of his maternal grandmother, who enlisted in the patriot army from Tyringham, Massachusetts; while another was Josiah Harvey, a surgeon’s mate who enlisted from Connecticut, and who was the father of Mr. Ames’ grandfather’s mother. Mr. Ames is also directly descended from Mayflower ancestors, as is shown in the following genealogy: John Tilly and wife were on the Mayflower, and both died a little after coming ashore. Their daughter, Elizabeth Tilly, was married in 1620, when fourteen years of age, to John Howland, aged twenty-eight years, also of the Mayflower. Their daughter, Hope Howland, of Plymouth, was married in 1646 to Elder John Chipman, Boston, 1631; Barnstable, 1649; Sandwich, 1684-1708. Desire Chipman, daughter of Elder John and Hope (Howland) Chipman, born February 26, 1673-4, died 1705, married February 23, 1692, Col. Melatiah Bourn, of Sandwich, born 1673, died 1742. Bathsheba Bourn, daughter of Col. Melatiah and Desire (Chipman) Bourn, born in 1703, married William Newcomb, born in 1702, died 1736. Their daughter, Sarah Newcomb, born in 1729, married October 19, 1760, Benjamin Fessenden, born 1729, died 1783. Lucy Fessenden, daughter of Benjamin and Sarah (Newcomb) Fessenden, born in 1770, died in 1852, married April 25, 1793; Alvan Hyde, D. D., born in 1768, died in 1833. Joseph Hyde, son of Alvan and Lucy (Fessenden) Hyde, married Catherine McEwen. Sarah L. Hyde, daughter of Joseph and Catherine (McEwen) Hyde, married John H. Ames, and they became the parents of John McEwen Ames.
John Hubbard Ames, the father of John McEwen Ames, was born at Housatonic, Massachusetts, December 27, 1838, his parents being William Henry Ames of Housatonic and Lucy Bartlett of Lee, Massachusetts. Entering Williams College in 1856, he discontinued his course in 1858 to go abroad in company with George Fuller, the artist of Deerfield, Massachusetts. At the outbreak of the Civil war, in 1861, he applied for examination and was commissioned in the United States Navy as engineer of the third grade and assigned to the Connecticut for blockade duty. His service continued throughout the war in this duty, except for the time during which he, with others, was detailed by the Government to experiment with superheated steam on boats plying between Baltimore and Fortress Monroe. At the close of the war he started on the Minnesota to circle the globe, but the ship broke down and had to return to New York, and Mr. Ames resigned his commission as past assistant engineer to become superintendent of the Yale Lock Company, then located at Shelbourne Falls, Massachusetts. In 1871 he was superintendent of the Herring Safe Company, New York, and in 1872 was made superintendent of the Grant Loeomotive Works, at Paterson, New Jersey. As representative of this concern he was sent to Odessa to erect a consignment of locomotives purchased by the Russian Government, the first ever exported by an American concern. The Grant Company failed while he was abroad and in 1875 he again became superintendent of the Yale Lock Company, at that time located at Stamford, Connecticut, which position he held until 1879, when he was employed by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company in the purchase of rails and locomotives. In 1881 he was made purchasing agent of this company and was transferred to Saint Paul, Minnesota. Mr. Ames retired from the position in 1890, as his health was failing, and shortly thereafter moved back to the East, dying April 14, 1908, at his home at Ware, Massachusetts. Mr. Ames was a member of the Loyal Legion. He made the designs for the first government postoffice boxes for the Yale Lock Company and secured a number of patents, among others a steam separator for boilers, a Yale padlock, a refrigerator, an automatic brake for railroad cars, a railway signal apparatus and a pneumatic transmitter for store service.
At Clifton, Staten Island, December 26, 1861, Mr. Ames was married to Sarah Lucy Hyde, and they became the parents of the following children: William Henry, who is connected with the M. B. Farrin Lumber Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio; Joseph Hyde, with the American Car and Foundry Company, of Chicago, Illinois; John McEwen, of this review; George Fuller, with the freight department of the New York Central Railroad, at Rochester, New York; Henry Olmsted, connected with the St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company, St. Paul, Minnesota; Lucy Bartlett, who is the wife of Remsen McGinnis, treasurer of the Holly Sugar Company, of Denver, Colorado; and Catherine McEwen and Sarah Hyde, unmarried, who reside with their mother at Ware, Massachusetts.
After some preparatory education, John McEwen Ames entered the Shattuck School, at Faribanlt, Minnesota, from which he was graduated in 1887, following which he pursued a course at Johns Hopkins University, where he secured the degree of Bachelor of Arts and graduated in the class of 1890. While at college he was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi Greek letter fraternity. In the spring of 1891 he started his business experience with the Peninsular Car Company, as a draughtsman, at Detroit, Michigan, and with the organizing of the Michigan Peninsular Car Company, was made chief draughtsman, a position which he retained from 1894 until 1899. In the latter year he accepted a position as mechanical engineer of the American Car and Foundry Company, and went to New York City, acting in that capacity until coming to Caney, in October, 1915.
In the meantime, in 1909, he had become president of the Kan-o-Tex Refining Company, a concern which had been organized that year for the purpose of refining crude oil from the Kansas and Oklahoma fields. Jacob Bartles had built the original plant at Caney, while Bennett & Miller had erected a plant at Longton, Kansas, and the new organization purchased the two plants, dismantled the one at Longton, and brought both together at Caney, where the main offices and plant are now located beside the Santa Fe Railroad tracks. The company now has machinery of the latest invention and manufacture, and the capacity of the plant is 1,000 barrels per day, with the force working up to capacity output practically all the time. The present list of officers includes: president, John McEwen Ames; vice president, Wilbur Munn, of Orange, New Jersey; secretary, Frank Heilig, of Caney, Kansas; treasurer, Robert R. Cox, of Caney; superintendent of refineries, E. S. Dorrance, of Caney; superintendent of lesses, Clyde M. Boggs, of Bartlesville, Oklahoma; directors, John McEwen Ames, Wilbur Munn, H. M. De Lanoie of New York City, Frank Heilig and Robert R. Cox. In addition to being the directing head of this large and important enterprise, Mr. Ames has various other interests, being a director of the American Car and Foundry Export Company of New York City, and president of the Columbia Bolt and Nut Company of Bridgeport, Connecticut. He has a broad and firmly established reputation as a mechanical engineer, and has been the patentee of a number of ingenious inventions. He belongs to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the New York Railroad Club and the Engineers’ Club of New York City, and to the Alpha Delta Phi Club of New York City, and the Havana Country Club. Politically, he is a republican, and his religious support is given to the Protestant Episcopal Church, of which he has long been a member.
On January 5, 1907, Mr. Ames was married at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to Miss Josephine Bowman Coleman, daughter of Fletcher and Millicent Coleman, both of whom died at Williamsport, where Mr. Coleman was engaged in business as a lumber merchant.
