Graal Reborn
Client Development Codr's Client
Codr January 2, 2018, 11:56pm #1
I wanted to create a thread for discussing levels in general. Obviously when developing a new client, things can be done any way we want them to be. This opens various possibilities for making levels easier to manage.
I guess I'm just going to leave some questions here for anyone to answer.
What did you find cumbersome about working with levels in Graal?
Would a smaller tile size be preferable?
Would a larger level size be preferable?
Is editing a level file in a text editor important to you?
Please throw in any other comments, suggestions, ideas, or wants as well. The goal here is to come up with a design plan that will best suit the needs we've all had while working with Graal.

Graals editor was complete trash. Should either use something like Tiled or Fantasy Tales Onlines editor.
I like 16x16 personally, but 32 is good.
Definitely good, imo. I was used to working with 128x128 and it's pretty good, but very hard to get used to coming from Graal, initially.
Meh. Only if I was going to make a third party editor or if I was a masochist.
Layers is a must have, also.
I have more thoughts on this, but it's more geared to level editing/editor issues with the Graal editor and not a level specific thing.

Since the Graal levels are editable text they're much more approachable for things like custom editors or generators.
With levels, account data, and server flags text editable it's easy to make scripts that could for example generate a weekly server that uses player progress and server flags to customize the world. I was too lazy to do anything with it, but I feel it would be a good project to push a new client.

Text editable levels and most importantly the NPCs inside them is important to me since I've done many changes through folders with find and replace when I was working on my server. It would have been very cumbersome otherwise.
16x16 is a perfect tile size.
I agree with the layers, they're a must.
Levels could be bigger but if we could link them like we can in the Graal editor and edit them as a big gmap level I'd rather use 64x64 levels I guess. I don't know… haven't worked with different level sizes really.
Codr January 3, 2018, 6:57pm #5
Layers are definitely happening, which was planned from the start. Including transparency and possibly even animated tilesets. Animated ones may have restrictions, though, as a very large animated image (tileset) will probably have significant overhead, depending on the number of frames per second.
Mass editing via find and replace is a very significant point toward human-readable level data. Definitely not something I was thinking of. Aside from some mostly insignificant efficiency, I don't see any reason not to make them plain text.

Ok, so unless more conversation comes along to convince me otherwise, I'll go with Graal-style everything, but with better layering support. That's what I was leaning toward already anyway. One thing that will need to be better is level transitioning and multiple level visibility, particularly with NPCs. Graal feels like it was hacked together in that aspect. I'll be ensuring this engine does map level connections as seamlessly as possible.
As for editors… I haven't decided yet if I'm going to make something external or do it within the client. I prefer an external editor, but if I'm EVER going to make this work on other operating systems, that isn't the route to go. Plus, from what I've seen of my UI work so far, it works so well that it can be made to not feel much different than working in Windows. That wasn't the case with Graal's 20 FPS.
Chicken January 3, 2018, 7:29pm #6
Oh, colour shifting is useful for tiles also. Helps to add some variety to levels, without adding in new tiles. Change the hue of a cave tile to a red and it's like your in a lava tube, blue and you're underwater.
Customizing what you want as a blocking tile, non blocking and other tile states (e.g shallow water, bush) per tileset. Removes the restrictions on the tileset image layout.
That'll just be a part of color effects that can be applied to basically anything rendered, by using modern technology, unlike Graal's DirectX 7.
I have no plans to hard-code that like Graal did. That just makes no sense for a client that's trying to be dynamic.
hosler January 3, 2018, 8:12pm #8
make it so i can play the level as im creating it
hosler;n188765:
That's certainly a possibility, but what is there to gain from that?
hosler January 3, 2018, 10:32pm #10
it's more fun

A select entire grouping or select individual tile from grouping feature would also be nice. It would in effect be a hybrid between the second and third idea. You could place a group of tiles in one go (so you have house_chair and it places a chair) or you could select the individual tiles from within said grouping to place down.
Graal's group thing but better. Something Chicken suggested for Evora's tile editor. I don't know how useful it would be with well laid out tilesets or for a completely customized world someone would have made for themself. But in the case of some tileset going mainstream with groupings associated I think it would be an enjoyable feature.
Codr January 4, 2018, 2:23pm #15
Editors are really beyond the scope of the discussion here. This is about the technical aspects of levels.
For example, something I'm now thinking through is the idea of multiple tilesets, individual tile replacement on an existing tileset, and how to support layers in general.

[*]What did you find cumbersome about working with levels in Graal?
Lack of transparency support without using dedicated NPCs
Lack of layer support to create overhead images without using dedicated NPCs
Very inefficient support for light effects, so I completely disregarded them in favour of performance
Lack of support for particle effects (unless you like 1FPS light shows) and shaders.
Editing large maps sometimes was annoying to navigate, it feels like it was completely out of the scope of the editor, and was tacked on as a last minute addition. I feel like it should have had some sort of button to press on your keyboard so you could click on an area to navigate to. Maybe a small overlay downscaled to <25% of the size of the map. I dunno if that makes any sense. Perhaps another way to put it would be that it imitates the map in Graal when you press M, and then you could click on a spot on the map to focus on it.
I think this is probably a bit beyond the realm of my knowledge, but file being the container for the scripts and the filesize limit imposed on them was a massive problem for a lot of people trying to do a lot more advanced scripting. Sure, this inspired a lot of creative solutions, but I think people could probably use some more wiggle room.
Another thing I might point out is that there were "predefined" tiles that you could use. I think maybe having that as a bunch of elements laid out to select, rather than them being sequestered to a list that you need to navigate, would be much more useful.
[*]Would a smaller tile size be preferable?
16^2 px tiles are already generally considered "sub" tiles by size, considering the character is roughly two tiles wide and less than three tiles tall. I think the tile size is more than adequate, but that's my opinion.
[*]Would a larger level size be preferable?
Personally I think it's fine. However, bigmap support should be integrated and easy to implement without external programs and text editors.
[*]Is editing a level file in a text editor important to you?
I think the biggest flaw with the editor is that sometimes you could softlock your level and require the use of a text editor to remove the problematic NPC. It would be nice to retain that functionality, however, maybe there is a way to completely avoid having that problem in the first place.
Some of my favourite features in the editor was the drag and drop shortcuts. Like, right clicking with a "carried" tile or pattern would fill a targeted tile and all of its immediate siblings with the pattern/tile. Duplicating with right click was also pretty handy. Perhaps a feature similar to this one would also be very handy, but I can understand if that's a bit harder to implement on a tile based program. I also loved how you could jump in and out of testing without being bothered to save the file, and it was also surprisingly easy to edit maps when you were online. The workflow in the editor is very underrated.
Looking around, I think Gonstruct probably solves a lot of problems I've mentioned. I dunno, I haven't used it before, and I'm only really basing my problems on the editor intended for the _222 client.
edit: oh you're not talking about Editors. Uh… ignore this I guess.
Yggdrasil;n188779:
Well, a lot of what you talked about can be described by Graal's poor engine, which is what the topic is, basically.
[quote]Lack of transparency support without using dedicated NPCs
Lack of support for particle effects (unless you like 1FPS light shows) and shaders.[/quote]
All of this will be properly supported. The current plan is to support 8 layers, including the base layer. The top 7 will support alpha blending (transparency). Lighting effects are just alpha blending, I believe, which will be supported on any drawn images. Particles were actually introduced in later Graal versions, but there will definitely be engine support for them.
Editing large maps sometimes was annoying to navigate, it feels like it was completely out of the scope of the editor, and was tacked on as a last minute addition.
Quoting this just because I said this earlier for maps in general. I completely agree. I'll do it right.
file being the container for the scripts and the filesize limit imposed on them was a massive problem for a lot of people trying to do a lot more advanced scripting.
Wasn't this 64 KB? Lol… I think we've advanced far beyond that in bandwidth these days, at least in non-isolated areas of developed countries. This limitation won't exist, at least not anywhere near such a low value.
I agree with basically everything you said about editors, but that's definitely for later.
Does anyone have any better ideas for creating a unified area out of levels? Maps, basically. Feel free to comment on the option you like best if not.
The options I came up with were:
Using an external file, equivalent to the map .txt files used by non-gmap Graal maps. To me, this feels clunky somehow.
Specifying the adjacent levels in each level itself. This would be more complex on my end, but is doable.
Defining the map layout via script directly. This would be kind of ugly, but there's no reason it couldn't be done.
Couldn't it just have like a grid in an editor and place the levels in that grid?
2ndwolf;n188805:
That's basically just a UI representation of any option that's chosen. What happens when you save?

mikepie: Let me give some updates on the status of the specs.
... I've made some commits and merged pull requests to make things easier to review..
... and I've added a number of place holders.
... Another group of change was about correctly marking informative vs normative sections, as well as correctly using MUST vs SHOULD terminology.
... Also scottlow made a big substantive change.
scottlow: My change is about WebDriver.
mikepie: We discussed several changes to WeBdriver during TPAC.
... Kris has suggestions about ways to extend it, and scottlow made some proposals along these lines.
... It would be good to get feedback from other browser vendors on that.
Florian: If we don't manage to get Mozilla on board today, and it seems we may not, I'll try and figure out how to reengage.
... Shwetank has rejoined the group a week ago, from a different company.
... I have confirmed with Opera that they are still interested, but it is not yet clear who they can assign. We will be updated when possible.
... In the absence of a full browser vendor quorum, I'm afraid we have to cut this short. I will be in touch with Mozilla and try to arrange a new meeting as soon as practical.


Max has lived the mundane life of a cab driver for 12 years. Vincent is an assassin who has been paid to murder five people who could put the leaders of a powerful drug trafficking ring behind bars. Tonight, Max picks up Vincent.
Mann would explore this divide between steely professionalism and hidden emotion more subtly and devastatingly in his subsequent Miami Vice, but at least Collateral consistently thrills with its tense action/suspense set pieces and sensuous nocturnal digital-video imagery.
Mann's success with well-worn genre tropes goes hand in hand with his actor- and character-driven approach to storytelling, which provides a solid grounding for the picaresque detours and digressions of Collateral's plot.
Works as an adrenaline rush, and a metaphor for a triumphant revolution against 1st-world nations apathetic complacency of hypocritical morals that spawn eventual murder of the marginalized contained in their society and abroad. Foxx's journey from zero to hero over the bourgeoisie predator of Cruise is equated to the overthrow of an unfair ruling class towards a union with Pinkett's open-minded academic.
Mann buys into genre, into its narrative mechanics, its situational archetypes, its clichés. He wholly accepts an established form which, unlike Godard, he has no interest in deconstructing. Mann instead wishes 2 establish a tranquil dialogue between genre & his own aesthetic principles which gravitate toward a quiet void, toward an overwhelming sense of night, cityscape. His digital maneuvers are without parallel.
Collateral is an exceptional film, one in which the city of Los Angeles seemingly becomes a character in and of itself. The acting between Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx is outstanding, and the suspense is perfectly paced.
Criminally underrated and unfairly maligned by Mann acolytes: "Collateral" is both a taut, perfectly-paced thriller and a well-realized character study. Scathing commentary on first world morality is abound, Cruise is vicious and tragic, Foxx is hilarious and sympathetic.
Its so rare to find a good modern American thriller that's smart and doesn't talk down to its audience. Aside from the last 20 minutes of this movie (which is brilliant) some of the most intense scenes of the film are the conversations between these two men, both of whom are portrayed stunningly. Foxx is great and Cruise gives one the best performances I've ever seen him in. I never thought I'd be scared of him!
Manns journey towards a new kind of cinema was/is ever expanding, but it was with Collateral that he (in my opinion) for the first time really found what he was looking for. Slowly but surely any feeling of off-screen space dissolves in the endlessly deep and wide fibers of the digital image, so that a space is never just a space and the world outside of the frame never just a reality to be separated from any of it.


At Kent Denver: No. 3 Kent Denver scored four goals in each half on the way to a rout over No. 6 Manitou Springs in the 3A quarterfinals.
The Sun Devils will move on to play No. 2 Colorado Academy in the semifinals.
The Mustangs allowed just four goals to be scored against them throughout the regular season and the playoffs, and had won four straight shutouts heading into the quarterfinals.
The Mustangs finish the season 14-3, falling in the state quarterfinal for the second straight year.
At Jefferson Academy: Colorado Springs Christian's 12-game winning streak at the start of the regular season fizzled out with a two-game skid before the playoffs. But despite a two-game rebound in the first and second rounds, the No. 9 Lions fell in the 3A quarterfinals as No. 1 Jefferson Academy claimed a dominant win.
The Jaguars will face No. 13 Aspen, which has secured three upsets this postseason, in the 3A semifinals.
CSCS finishes the season 14-3.

Alien Weaponry starts NZ tour, Chch show to go ahead
2:15pm, Wednesday 20 March 2019. By Jessica Tyson
Alien weaponry. Source, Alien Weaponry, Facebook
After arriving home from their tour in Australia, reo Māori metal band Alien Weaponry is set to start their biggest national tour in Aotearoa tomorrow.
The band is made up of two brothers of Ngāti Pikiao and Ngāti Raukawa, Lewis and Henry de Jong, and Ethen Trembath whose songs have melodies driven with thunderous metal thrashing reo Māori vocals.
Their first show will be in Tauranga tomorrow night, followed by shows in Hamilton, Auckland, Dunedin, Christchurch and Wellington.
The trio has assured fans that the show in Christchurch next Friday will still go ahead but at a different venue, at Micky Finns.
"It's been a traumatic week for Christchurch and indeed for us all in New Zealand but we want to reassure you that the Christchurch show is still going ahead," the band wrote in a post on their Facebook page.
The trio said they felt "shocked and saddened" following the terrorist attack at two Christchurch mosques last Friday that has taken the lives of 50 people.
"Social media is a powerful thing that affects our generation more than most and we would like to think that people use it for good, the band wrote.
"As part of a heavy metal community we think we all have a responsibility to call out anyone who uses it to belittle or harm others because of their faith, race, sexuality or beliefs and social standing."
Fans are also being urged to get their tickets fast after their Dunedin show next week already sold out.
Wellington will host the last show on Saturday, March 30.
"This will be our very last New Zealand show before we hit the USA and Europe. It's going to be awesome," the band says.
Over the past year, Alien Weaponry has been booked to play on the world's biggest metal festivals including the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany, a goal they have had since they were kids.
In their recent Australian tour they performed in Sydney and Melbourne and later this year they will embark on their own headline tour of the United States.

Artist Profile: Kev Berry
Kev Berry is a playwright and solo performance artist participating in Art House's INKubator, a year-long generative new play program.
What was the first play or production you saw? What do you still remember about the experience?
Oh man. When I was a kid, I remember seeing Beauty and the Beast on Broadway. I am fairly certain I saw it twice, once with just me and my parents, and then again once my sister was old enough to start going to the theatre. I remember being wowed by the spectacle that Disney shows are known for, particularly by the magic involved with the Beast's transformation into the Prince at the end of the show. I don't know whether or not this is something I remember affecting me as a child or if this is a memory I have imprinted on that production as an adult but any time I think about BATB I think about the automation of the set, how seamlessly everything flowed, how clear the movement between sets delineated exactly where the audience was supposed to look at all times. In a play of mine, Babytalk, an adaptation of a notebook my mom kept of the funny things my sister and I said as we discovered language and the world around us, my mom writes that the first time I saw BATB was during a crazy thunderstorm. I like to think that the weather on my first Broadway outing affected how stormy my work would become later in life.
What play or production have you seen the most?
I saw SpongeBob SquarePants on Broadway 6 times. A queer, forward-thinking liberal musical with biceps and calves for days checks all the boxes for me. Further, I have a deep emotional connection to the cartoon, which helped my family get through the mourning process for my mom, who passed away when I was 7. I was lucky enough to be at the second preview for the Broadway adaptation, and then saw it over and over and over again and attended the final performance after one too many margaritas (almost 9 months on the wagon now, though!) and cried the entire time. I can't listen to the music without tearing up. The show was, is, and will always be church to me. Other shows: When I was abroad in London in 2014 I saw Punchdrunk's The Drowned Man 10 times in 6 months, and Simon Stephens' Birdland (starring Andrew Scott! so hot.) 11 times in 3 weeks.
Why are the arts important to you?
I want to make one person feel seen. If a single person over the course of a reading or run of one of my plays can identify some part of themselves in my work, point to a specific thing I wrote in one of my pieces and say "That's me" then I've done my job. While the academic side of me considers myself a bouffon-documentarian here to highlight how truly heinous gay men are to one another so that future generations might not be, I really like to think I'm here to make people feel less alone.
What is inspiring you right now? Who are you following?
My fav thing to talk about! Artists: my best friend Sarah Dinkelacker is an incredible painter and her work moves me to tears, the pastry and dessert chefs at Balthazar never fail to stun me with their creations, I've been thinking a lot about Edward Hopper's paintings, and by nature of the project I'm making at Art House I've been wondering what the hell Vincent van Gogh would make of all of this. I've been watching Golden Girls for the first time, which shocks a lot of people because I'm a professional fag and Sophia, Blanche, Dorothy, and Rose are prophets. I frequently rewatch Disney-Pixar movies and old SpongeBob episodes. Greta Gerwig. Dolly Parton. Saeed Jones. Judith Butler. Edmund White. Elena Ferrante. Forster. Armistead Maupin. Kate Tempest. Helen Shaw. bell hooks. Jordan Tannahill. ABBA. Max Richter. Jia Toletino. Billy Joel. That Nat Geo documentary-meets-absolute-horror-movie Free Solo. The Bon Appetit Test Kitchen. Heidi Schreck. Taylor Mac. Lucas Hnath. The list goes on and on.
What's the elevator pitch for the play you're working on in INKubator?
Vincent van Gogh is a disco remix of a history that's been swept under the rug. The play tells a version of the story of the 9 weeks that van Gogh spent living in the south of France with his lover/mentor Paul Gauguin, and those 9 weeks ended with Vincent cutting his own ear off. It's about queer legacy and what gets erased for the comfort of straight folks. It's fucking gay, and the music is all Sylvester and everyone talks like a 21st Century faggot. It's great. Hopefully.
What inspired you to write Vincent van Gogh?
Julie Orringer's beautiful novel The Flight Portfolio. It's about a little known WWII hero named Varian Fry whose queerness was also erased into the annals of history.
Where are you in the writing process for the play?
We're almost done with the first draft. There's a lot of anxiety for me at this point in the process. I'm in the 3rd quarter of a distance run of about 10 miles or so. After a strong start, miles 6 to 8 are always insanely hard because the finish line isn't quite in sight, but I know it's just around the next bend. So I know what I'm writing towards and aiming at, and it's just a matter of pushing through and pushing through the ribbon to finish the first draft.
What's your writing process like?
I never start a writing a full-length play without the following: a title, the music scheme for the play, and the last moment of the play. I consider myself a pretty adept giver-of-titles, so while I consider them working titles til a draft is done, they rarely change. I like my titles to let the audience know what they should be expecting going in. For Vincent van Gogh, I want them to think they're getting a standard biography so that when we subvert that expectation during the preshow and first moments of the play, it forces them to drop all preconceived notions of what they think might happen and more willfully come along on the bonkers ride with us. I never start without having music in mind, typically a combination of artists. In my play Peter I use Nico Muhly to provide tone, and weave Dolly Parton music in diagetically and use some of her lyrics to establish story. In Vincent van Gogh, we start with queer icon Sylvester's disco discography and slowly weave in French house DJ Gesaffelstein as Vincent's mental condition deteriorates. And as for the final moment: I always know what the last thing the audience sees before the lights go out is, so I have something to work towards and earn for myself. Typically, this involves the music and the lights and the set coming together for a big bombastic reveal, but in van Gogh, I'm aiming for something quieter.

Let's Get Political: Must-Attend Events in DC
by Nikki Tucker
President Barack Obama dances wtih U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Bria Nelson, of Indianapolis, Ind., as First Lady Michelle Obama dances with Gunnery Sgt. Timothy Easterling, of Barnwell, S.C., during the Commander in Chief Inaugural Ball at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, Jan. 21, 2013
Nestled between Maryland and Virginia, on the Potomac River, the District of Columbia is the epicenter of all three branches of the federal government of the United States: the Congress, the President and the Supreme Court. However, aside from politics, the U.S. capitol has a lot to offer tourist and its American citizens.
With its many nicknames—"Washington," "D.C." or "the District"—the 68.3 square miles city offers a number of attractions that is sure to educate and entertain. If you're into cultural institutions and exhibitions, then you'll find yourself overwhelmed by the plethora of museums in the city like the International Spy Museum, which tell the stories of intelligence operations and deceptions that changed the course of history, and the Newseum, an interactive museum of news with behind-the-scenes views of how and why news is made.
If you're a foodie, D.C. has you covered. With its close proximity to waterfronts, the city has an abundance of seafood eateries that is sure to whet your palate. Local favorites include high-end eateries like BlackSalt, DC Coast and The Oceanaire Seafood Room. The city also has a great number of restaurants for the meatatarian. Locals will attest, one cannot visit the city without visiting Ben's Chili Bowl, a landmark restaurant in the capitol. In addition, there are a number of mobile food vendors that serves even more creative and tasty fare.
The U.S. capitol also runs the gamut for the swankiest affairs. After all, it is the city where politicians, socialites and high-profiled community members come together in their impeccably tailored suits as well as plush, over-the-top gowns. Every year, the city hosts some of the best galas, balls and events that raise money for a number of charities as well as awareness. We've compiled a list of our must-attend galas in the city. That is if you can get on the list, of course.
The Inaugural Ball
At the top of everyone's list is the nation's inaugural ball. The event, which debut in 1789 following the inauguration of George Washington, quickly became a highly anticipated party for Washington society. Inaugural balls now include performances from music's most adored songstresses including Beyoncé, who performed Etta James "At Last" at the 2009 inaugural ball. At the 2013 inaugural ball Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, Chris Cornell, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Hudson and Marc Anthony, to name a few.
Fashion for Paws
The Fashion for Paws Runway Show is considered an acclaimed one-of-a-kind luxury brand event to benefit the Washington Humane Society. For models to be concerned to participate they have to raise at minimum at least $3,000 in just 12 weeks. The top fundraiser, winning "Model Washingtonian of the Year." For the runway show that took place earlier this spring, model Donald Hoffman fundraised $29, 585, making him the Model Washingtonian of 2015.
The Leukemia Ball
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education, and patient services. This year more than $2,000 guests attended the ball, which took place in March, where they enjoyed entertainment by Michael Cavanaugh and comedy by Howie Mandel. The 2015 Leukemia Ball raised $3.15 million to benefit LLS and to help in the fight against blood cancer.
The Meridian Ball
The 47th annual Meridian Ball is swiftly approaching. With just little more than two months left to purchase tickets, the Meridian Ball is considered one of the most prestigious events in the capitol. This event brings together members of the public and private sector to celebrate Meridian's ongoing efforts to prepare leaders for a complex global future. It is attended by public officials including Cabinet secretaries, members of Congress, prominent media figures, foreign ambassadors, and representatives from the international business and cultural communities.

Fight for Children's Fight Night
Commencing Nov. 5th, 2015, Fight Night, which will be presented by Under Armour, will bring together 2,000 heavyweights of business, government, and philanthropy for an exciting knockout evening featuring live boxing bouts and world-class entertainment.

14 Products To Keep The Summer Glow And Get Winter Ready
By Kelly Barbieri


Studies have shown that millions of people in this country have to deal with debilitating back pain on a daily basis. This is no matter to take lightly because back pain can severely impact the quality of life that a person is capable of living. If you have ever had issues with back pain, you already know just how serious it can be. It can sometimes seem as if finding relief is impossible because no matter what position you try and get in in order to feel better, it just will not help. This type of pain is often associated with a misaligned spine and it is possible that professionals who offer chiropractic services can help. Thankfully, there are several offices of chiropractic in Tupelo, MS who can help.
How Exactly Does Your Spine Get Out Of Alignment?
The entire spinal column is a series of joints and tissue that is designed to move freely, bend naturally, and allow the rest of the body to move in unison. However, humans tend to put their bodies through great amounts of stress, physically speaking. Standing on concrete floors for hours on end, lifting far beyond what we should, and even carrying more weight because we are out of shape are all contributing factors to a spine that has fallen out of alignment. When this occurs, there can be a compromise in range of motion, pain with walking or standing, and even excruciating sensations that extend to the arms and legs.
Can Chiropractic in Tupelo MS Really Help?
Many are skeptical about chiropractors and their methods for adjusting the spine. However, these skilled professionals are very well trained in just how the spine works and how to physically adjust the spine so that it can move back into its natural position. Some people who suffer with back pain due to a misalignment are elated to find just how much relief the chiropractor can give them with just a few simple adjustments. This is a much better alternative than just dealing with the pain or taking medications that can cause a plethora of health problems.

The Thorntree girl with 'The Sixth Sense'
EMILIA Rose Taylor, from Thorntree, is only three, but her parents Scott Taylor and Charlene Knight are already convinced that she has a special psychic ability.
As a baby, she was prone to going into trances, which doctors thought could be a form of epilepsy. But numerous tests and scans all came back negative.
It wasn't until Emilia began to talk, that Scott, 31, and Charlene, 27, realised there could be more to it.
Ever since she started stringing her first words together, Emilia would often refer to the "old man" who lived in her bedroom cupboard. "I started to wonder if he was some kind of guardian angel," said Charlene. "No matter where we went she would be saying the old man was there.
"I used to say 'Emilia, there's no one there' and she would say 'Yes there is. And he's ugly'.
"One day she was sat on her dad's knee and she started wriggling - saying that the old man kept on tickling her toes. Another time she was shouting at him to get off her toys."
Her parents were often left open-mouthed when she would point out of the window saying that she could see Ross - Scott's twin brother who died when he was four.
Despite Emilia's remarkable claims, neither Scott or Charlene have ever come across any unwanted visitors in their Roworth Road home, though Charlene admits that she used to feel like she was being watched if she was ever left alone in the kitchen.
With her suspicions growing all the time, Charlene made the decision to contact a psychic who confirmed the old man had previously lived at their house, and wanted to apologise for scaring Emilia.
Housewife Charlene said: "Whenever he's been around, Emilia would always say that he stinks, which makes sense because according to the psychic, the man who used to live here was a smoker who died of respiratory problems."
The psychic also revealed that there were two young boys living at the house - who were responsible for tampering with her smoke alarm, writing on her wall and hiding photographs that have never been found.
After performing a dramatic exorcism in Emilia's bedroom, Charlene was relieved to hear from the psychic that the spirits had left the house. But this has not stopped Emilia from chattering with her "friends".
Charlene said: "She would tell me she had a boyfriend called Michael who used to live in the hospital, but now he lives in the cemetery, and she would get upset because apparently he had no shoes on.
"Where would a three-year-old get all that from? I asked her if Michael went to her nursery, and she said 'no, he lives in the sky'. I used to have an open mind about these kind of things, but I'm definitely a believer now."
Emilia's behaviour became so frequent that Charlene decided to mention it to her nursery teacher - who recalled seeing Emilia having a conversation with thin air, during which she kept on asking - "where are you going?" and "why are you putting your coat on?"
Despite displaying all the characteristics of a sixth sense, Emilia is a happy-go-lucky little girl with bags of confidence and charm.
"She's got such a large character for her age," said Charlene. "She's always singing, dancing and laughing.
"It doesn't seem to bother her in the slightest. I know that some people will think we are telling her all this stuff, but we're not."

Q: Two different AsyncTasks execute at the same time I have two total different implementations of AsyncTask, lets say AT1 and AT2.
AT1 is executed first, then AT2 is executed. AT1 waits in doInBackground until AT2 has done its task by polling this data every 500 ms. But this never happens.
So what I basically want is this:

But what seems to happen is this:

Except AT1 is never done, and AT2 is never started.
Is there a way I can force these two AsyncTasks to be executed on two seperate threads, or is there another solution for this?
It is not possible to first start AT2 and after that execute AT1.
EDIT
For clarification: AT1 is executed when a user opens a particular screen, and needs to download data for that screen, based on a location. AT2 is executed on Location change, and when that happens, some calculations are made that cannot be done on the UI thread.
When AT2 has never been executed, AT1 has no location to download data for, so it needs to wait for AT2 to finish. When AT2 has been executed, the location data is already there, and AT1 doesn't need to wait.
Also, this problem occurs in ICS, not in Android 2.3, like this answer suggests.

A: When I posted this question, this question appeared in the Related section.
It advices to use executeOnExecutor, I've implemented this as follows:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
    new SetLocationAsyncTask().executeOnExecutor(AsyncTask.THREAD_POOL_EXECUTOR, location);
} else {
    new SetLocationAsyncTask().execute(location);
}

A: What's the point of having two async tasks, if one waits for the other? And if you want to do it, why not have the first one start the second one and put the "done" stuff in the second task?

A: Sounds like you may need to rethink your logic - if you're kicking off a thread which then needs to wait for another thread to do some work, why not just have the first thread do that work?
If you really need 2 AsyncTasks, have the first one gather whatever data is needed and don't kick off the second until after the first is finished - have a read about onPostExecute in the docs.

People are always complaining about drivers going too slow on Highway 107.
Did you know that from where Highway 107 starts in Musquodoboit Harbour to the East Preston turnoff it is approximately 24.7kms? Many people complain that some drivers are driving too slow on the highway at only 90km/hour or even say 80km/hr. What if you drive 110km/hr or 120km/hr? How much time will you actually save driving from Musquodoboit Harbour to the East Preston turnoff?
As you can see, the difference between driving from Musquodoboit Harbour to East Preston turnoff at 80km/hr and 120km/hr is 6 minutes and 10.5 seconds. Most drivers are not driving 80km/hr but rather between 90-100km/hr. So speeding at 110-120 you will only save 3-4 minutes.
What about from Porters Lake Exit 20 to East Preston turnoff? It's 13.3kms.
The difference between driving from Porters Lake to East Preston turnoff at 80km/hr and 120km/hr is 3 minutes and 29.5 seconds. Again, most drivers are driving 90-100kms/hr so going 110-120 you will save 1-2 minutes.
Driving behind slower drivers can be annoying and Highway 107 could really use a few more passing lanes but in reality you truly are not actually saving any time by speeding and passing other drivers – it may feel like you are but sometimes perception is not reality.
And as the saying goes for Highway 107 - "It doesn't matter how fast you go on the 107, everyone meets up at the RED lights on Main Street!".

Minty is a story of love, loss and coming to terms with consequences. It's a spiritual tale that will linger in your mind long after you've read the final word.
If you want a contemporary family drama that deals with loss in a compassionate way, then this may well be the book for you. Whilst 'Minty' does cover grief, the story unfolds through action and relationships and humour too.
It's told from Minty's 14 year old point of view and involves a small cast of characters. There's honesty and emotional intensity – and some well-paced action particularly at the beginning. However it's the debates about important issues such as mourning and selfishness that stay with you.
I particularly liked the delicate sense of place. It is anchored in Scotland – yet not in such a way to put Sassenachs like me off. Similarly the inclusion of the twins' Roman interests gives both insight into customs and beliefs - and made the characters more memorable.
Without giving spoilers, the relationship with Jack is nicely handled and gives rise to comic moments at times – and the inclusion of the twin dogs Romulus and Remus is both poignant and engaging. I don't think I'm giving too much away if I say you might want a box of hankies to hand.
As you might guess from the stylish cover, there is both mystery and hope in this tale. I would recommend it for confident readers who like emotional family dramas – and enjoy thinking about different beliefs.

With great respect to your perspective Brother Samuel, the pure White Buffalo was absolutely white, with pink toes, pink tongue, pink eyes, pink horns and pink skin! Because they were near sighted that were at the protected center of the herd! I recount this because because my direct relative, my great grandfather Mato Gi, Brown Bear, slayed a big Bull White Buffalo, as prophecised! This event was directly shared by my Great-Great Grandfather Hinhan Wichasa, Owl Man, to my Great-Grandfather, Philip Deloria, Tipi Sapa, Black Lodge, and that was directly shared with my father and my Grandfather, Vine Deloria Sr. and both of them recounted this historical event to me on many occassions! . My Uncle Vine Deloria Jr.alludes to this event in his book " Singing for a Spirit", This is the only direct experience that I know of an experience with a True White Buffalo! There is alot more to this story yet to be shared! If you know of other direct experiences with a true White Buffalo, I look forward to hearing! Beloved Brother Samuel, I honor with all my heart your 39 years of sobriety! I hope you will reflect on what I have honestly and trustfully shared with you!

OUTLANDS, A NEW NATIONAL EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC NETWORK
The Seer – Supersonic Festival 2017 photo by Eduardo Pinto
OUTLANDS is an innovative new national experimental music network bringing together a mix of visual arts and music organisations, independent venues and creative producers all located outside London. At a point where the experimental music scene is seen as risky for promoters, venues and audiences, this Arts Council Strategic Touring Award will support the network to inject quality, diversity and accessibility into new, engaging and ambitious music productions throughout the UK over a touring period of two years from 2018.
OUTLANDS will commission and tour three productions a year alongside a participation programme adapted specifically to audiences local to each venue. Born of out of a desire to pool resources to ensure the survival of ambitious, diverse, high-quality music, the aim is to offer new experiences to audiences outside the capital, to work within a strong national network and to boost the viability of ambitious, cross-disciplinary artforms across the whole country.
The OUTLANDS network is :
De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill on Sea dlwp.com
Qu Junktions/Al Cameron, Bristol qujunktions.com
Capsule/Supersonic Festival, Birmingham supersonicfestival.com
Fat Out, Salford fatout.co.uk
Fuse Art Space, Bradford wearefuse.co
MK Gallery, Milton Keynes mkgallery.org
Cambridge Junction, Cambridge junction.co.uk
Peninsula Arts/KARST, Plymouth plymouth.ac.uk/your-university/peninsula-arts karst.org.uk
Hedley Swain, Area Director, South East, Arts Council England, said "It is really important that more people, in more places around England have the opportunity to experience great art and culture. OUTLANDS is a great project that will do just that for experimental music whilst also establishing a stronger touring infrastructure for the genre outside of London, and so we're delighted to be able to support the De La Warr Pavilion and its partners through our National Lottery funded Strategic Touring Programme."
Stewart Drew, Director and CEO, De La Warr Pavilion (lead organisation) said "We are delighted that Arts Council England have supported OUTLANDS, a pioneering network of national partners that will support the commissioning of experimental music, whilst engaging and growing audiences for this innovative work. Over the last decade, we have changed our auditorium programme from loss-making traditional seaside entertainment into a thriving contemporary offer with a strong music programme. OUTLANDS allows us to take this a stage further by taking the lead in creating new partnerships that will allow us to take more artistic risks and to reflect the diversity of the communities at home across the UK."
Lisa Meyer, Artistic Director of Capsule says "Capsule are delighted to be part of the Outlands consortium, to have the opportunity to work alongside some of the most innovative creative producers and venues in the country. The funding from Arts Council England will allow us to develop extraordinary new work, to take creative risks which will both help to support artists and develop new audiences."

sewing the seeds of love: Where did my baby go ?
Where did my baby go ?
Now she is my big girl.
But she will always be my baby.
Happy 4th Birthday , Princess.
The cake ? A very sad make shift , make do packet thingy . Because you MUST blow out candles on the actual day of your birthday ! No matter how sad the actual cake may be..or how bad it tastes.
Heaps of chocolate frosting can always improve a sad cake however. At least that's what her big brother tells me.
Never mind. Her party is on Sunday.I will once again be able to play super- best mummy in the whole wide world role and create a special cake for the party day .
Which will hopefully taste lots better than this one did !
I am very relieved that she has requested a butterfly birthday cake this year.
Um..should be much easier than what she requested last year .
Go take a peek, I am off to find a recipe.
Such a Sew-Fantastic Giveaway !
What a great give away theme !
