A little "meh" on D&D for the moment
Posted on October 12, 2012 by Michael the OnlineDM
I haven't been blogging much recently, which is in part because I've been spending a lot of my time on Chaos & Alchemy (currently working on setting up a Kickstarter to run in the next month or so). My audience here on Online Dungeon Master is interested in D&D, not necessarily my new game company, so I try not to inundate you all with content about the game. However, I will note that I've opened a call for artists to do color illustrations for the cards – let me know if you're interested!
Another reason that I haven't been blogging much is that I'm not as passionate about D&D right now. Again, that's in part because my gaming passion is elsewhere, and for a while I thought that was all there was to it.
Drow again?
As I reflect more, though, I realize that there are two other things that are keeping my D&D passion in check. The first is that I'm really not digging D&D Encounters this season. I'm still running the game every week, but it's not grabbing me. I'm kind of sick of the drow, frankly, and knowing that there's still MORE drow to come in the next season has me feeling a little depressed. Drow are evil and all, I get it. Can we move on now?
I've still been creating maps of the encounters, so I've included the Week 5 and Week 7 maps below (I was out of town for week 4 and 6, and week 6 didn't use a map anyway). Enjoy!
Drow Library Map – Gridded
Drow Library Map – No grid
Underdark Antechamber Map – Gridded
Underdark Antechamber Map – No Grid
The impact of D&D Next
The other thing that has me feeling down is D&D Next. It's not that I don't like the system – I'm sure it's going to end up being really cool. But I currently play 4e, and with all of the community's attention being on Next, I find it hard to get psyched up about 4e.
The obvious solution to this problem is "Play D&D Next!" And I will, eventually. But I ran the first open playtest, and I think that might have been a mistake for me. I appreciated the quickness of combat, but I was really bored with the Caves of Chaos. Also, the limited pre-generated characters didn't seem exciting.
Now, had I waited for the second batch of stuff that came out just before GenCon before jumping into the playtest, I think I would have been much happier. The new fighter looks like a lot more fun, and having character creation rules is a very big deal. But by the time that packet came out, I was already getting to the point of ignoring D&D Next. I read the second packet, but I didn't feel inspired to play it. Again, that's partly because my time was on Chaos & Alchemy, but it's also partly because my groups didn't have that much fun with the first playtest packet, and I didn't feel passionate about getting them to try the second.
So where do I go from here? Well, for the immediate future I'm going to be busy with Chaos & Alchemy. But I'd like to get back to running a regular D&D game. My online family campaign for Madness at Gardmore Abbey has been on hold for many months, but I've got it all prepped and ready to go in MapTool; that's the most likely place to resume. I'd also like to get back to trying D&D Next; I haven't even looked at the latest playtest packet yet, and that's a shame.
But I'm not in any hurry to do that stuff. I have other hobbies occupying my free time right now, and I'm okay with that. D&D will wax in my interest again, but it's in a waning phase right now. And that's okay.

D&D Next – First playtest report
Posted on May 27, 2012 by Michael the OnlineDM
I had the pleasure of having my gaming group over to the house on Sunday for our first playtest of D&D Next. We played for about 4 hours, with the first 30 minutes being about character selection and rules discussion and the last 30 minutes for talking about the session and providing feedback.
First, I want to give a big shout-out to the Weem, who provided a great map for the Caves of Chaos that I used in my MapTool + projector setup at the table. It's so nice to not have to draw the maps myself! I'll admit that I was a moron and that it took me a while to realize that each square represented 10 feet instead of 5, but that's not Weem's fault – the map says it quite clearly!
Since I always run my games via MapTool, even in-person, I started by plopping the Weem's map into a fresh campaign file, and then built some monsters. I began with my own 4e campaign framework, and then stripped things down to work for D&D Next. This was mostly easy, though it was a bit messy to write a macro that correctly handles advantage and disadvantage. I got there, though!
There are 34 monsters in the Bestiary for Next, and I prepped about 20 of them prior to the game. They're pretty quick to put together, fortunately. I like that! Note that prepping them means that I've set up tokens in MapTool with an appropriate image, the right stats (hit points, AC, ability scores, speed, XP, etc.), buttons to track damage and buttons for each attack that the monster has.
Since we had six players and only five pre-generated characters, the party chose to double up on the dwarf fighter. Since it's a hill dwarf, the first player to pick the character decided that it was a hillbilly dwarf. He named the character Bill to reflect this, which led the person playing the human cleric of Pelor to name his character Ted. The dwarf cleric of Moradin then became Rufus.
The party was rounded out with Gimli the dwarf fighter, Shazzam! the high elf wizzard (she likes the letter Z – and exclamation points), and Stealthy the halfling rogue (my wife likes Once Upon a Time, even though her character wasn't a dwarf).
I'll note here that one of my friends was interested in the rogue until he discovered that hiding takes an action. That was a bummer for him.
My players tend to be more interested in killing bad guys and taking their stuff and less interested in plot. This worked fine with the Caves of Chaos, which does not come with a plot by default. I gave my players some choice among the potential plots listed in the adventure, and they liked the idea of seeking the piece of the Eye of Gruumsh that had ended up in the Caves of Chaos. Off we go!
The group decided to look for tracks near the first cave they saw (Cave A on the map), and a good Wisdom check from Ted revealed kobold tracks. When he went closer to the cave mouth to listen, some kobolds revealed themselves and combat began.
I decided to run this combat in the "theater of the mind", so we rolled initiative and started killing kobolds. They only had two hit points each, which meant that both fighters and the wizard could reliably kill one kobold per turn (the fighters with the miss effect on their attack and the wizard with Magic Missile). The little lizard creatures went down pretty quickly. This entire combat took all of 10 minutes and 15 seconds. Not bad for fighting nine kobolds with six PCs!
The kobolds didn't have any treasure or distinguishing markings, so the party left the bodies alone and moved into the cave. They saw a passage sloping down to the right, and to the left was a passage with a nasty smell. They decided to investigate the smell and found a garbage pit full of rats.
Rat stomping
Combat number two was another "theater of the mind" one, with the tiny rats swarming all over the PCs. I decided to throw 24 rats at them – four per PC. The rats started nibbling at PC ankles, and the characters started stomping on them.
When the wizard's turn came around, she decided to use Burning Hands – our first Vancian spell! She waited until her friends got out of the way, then toasted a dozen rats.
Bill the dwarf fighter strode boldly into the garbage pit and took out the dire rat in one shot, and when the three surviving rats had a turn in round three, they fled. This combat took only 13 minutes; not too shabby.
Traps!
From here, the party started heading down the slope, only to trigger a pit trap. Three PCs fell in, and attracted the attention of four kobolds. Our rogue spent the first round of combat fiddling with the trap to get it open so that the fallen PCs could climb out.
We noticed here that the jumping and climbing rules make pit traps not very scary once they've triggered. Getting out of the trap is easy enough; unless the walls are particularly slick, you can climb right out at half speed. As for the people who didn't fall in, they could jump a number of feet (edit: I originally said "squares" instead of "feet here – not what I meant!) equal to their Strength score, which was at least 8. Add in two feet for extending your arms, and even the wimpy wizard could jump, grab the far edge, and pull herself up. Maybe I was too easy on my PCs here, but that's the way I ran things.
Anyway, the fight against these four kobolds was pretty easy for the party since they had bright light, giving the monsters disadvantage on their attacks. As I wrote about recently, disadvantage is a big deal, equating to about a -4 or -5 to attack. Still, with all of the shenanigans surrounding the pit trap, this combat took 19 minutes. It's amazing that this feels like a long combat!
The little boss – a battle with a map
From here, the gang noticed that the passageway eventually ended at a large chamber filled with dozens of kobolds. I decided that this chamber would probably actually have a door, so I created one on the fly. They decided to explore a different passage instead, finding themselves at a locked door.
No problem – we have a rogue in the party! The pregen rogue has a very cool ability that says she can't roll below a 10 for any skill that she's trained in. So she rolls, and if it's less than 10 we treat it as a 10 on the die. This means that opening locks is no worse than a 16 for her, which popped the storage room right open.
The most interesting item in this room was a cask of wine, which one of our fighters created a hole in with his axe. He then replaced the water in his waterskin with wine.
From here, the next clear direction was down the hall to a chamber that had three tougher-looking kobolds standing around and talking. A frontal assault was declared, and we rolled initiative. I decided that, since there were two waves to this fight and the enemies had the potential to actually take a hit and keep fighting, we would use the map and minis.
All three of the "elite" kobolds were dead by the end of the first round. In the second round, six more regular kobolds came out of a far room, escorting their chieftain. The chief actually had some hit points, but it didn't matter – he never landed a blow with his axe, even though he was getting two attacks per round. He always had disadvantage thanks to the bright light from the wizard. The whole battle took just under 20 minutes.
Getting a little bit of treasure in the chief's room was a nice find for the party, although the wizard continued to be disappointed with the lack of hits from her Detect Magic. No magic loot here, guys – this isn't 4th Edition any more!
Kobold genocide?
The only remaining chamber in this part of the Caves of Chaos was the one that had dozens of kobolds in it. Back down the hall the party went, checking for traps and then opening the door.
They saw a group of 36 adult kobolds in their living quarters, with eight kobold hatchlings in the back corner of the room. A debate ensued among the party members about what to do – kill them or leave? Bill the fighter won initiative and decided to step into the room, slaughter a kobold, and then step back.
At this point, the kobolds reached for their daggers and started throwing, mostly at Bill but some at Gimli who was next to him. Rufus, the cleric of Moradin, was standing right behind them, which meant that her Guardian ability kicked in – all of the kobolds would have disadvantage on their attacks.
Thankfully, I was using the computer to roll the dice. Having to roll twice for each of 35 kobolds would have been a major pain in the butt. When all was said and done after those 35 attacks, the kobolds had only dealt 5 damage – 5 dagger hits for 1 damage each. Disadvantage is POWERFUL! They only needed to hit AC 15, but you only have a 12% chance of doing that when you're just +1 on your dagger attack and you have disadvantage.
The rogue, the wizard and the cleric of Pelor shot some bullets and magic at kobolds as they backed down the hallway. The cleric of Moradin stayed in place to provide her fighter allies with some protection, but she refused to slaughter the kobolds.
In round two, we had 33 kobolds attacking the fighters with disadvantage. A few more points of damage landed, but nothing too serious. At this point, the cleric of Pelor left her fighters alone with the kobold menace.
Now the kobolds could show what they could do. Since they were out of the bright light, the Guardian was gone and they outnumbered the fighters, this meant the kobolds now had advantage on their attacks. Spears and daggers started landing left and right, and before half of the surviving kobolds had acted, they had dropped both fighters to unconsciousness. The kobolds slammed the doors to their chamber.
The surviving party members came back, stabilized their fighters, and dragged them out of there. The aborted kobold massacre took about 18 minutes, including some time at the end that was just about the dragging of the fighters out of the kobold caves.
I'll put up another post later with our actual feedback from the playtest, but I'd say it was a successful test overall. There's no way we would be switching from 4e to this game in its current state, but everyone seemed to feel like it has real potential. The one person in our group who's been playing for 30 years especially enjoyed the game.
We'll keep on testing, of course. There are plenty of things that we weren't crazy about, but we feel like this game can be a good one. Definitely a promising start!

Our friends at American Spa Magazine really know their stuff when it comes to skin care. We particularly enjoyed their recent article, "Practicing Safe Sun." This article breaks down the importance of using a mineral, or physical, sunscreen and we encourage everyone to read the article! Here's a brief recap of 5 important points.
1) We all know that skin cancer is a serious problem but this fact really puts it in perspective: One person in the United States dies from melanoma every hour. In addition, the National Cancer Institute blames artificial UV sources as the major cause for the rapid rise in malignant melanoma in young women.
2) Sunscreens come in two forms: Chemical and Physical. Chemical sunscreens absorb the sun's rays while physical formulas deflect ultraviolet rays. Which formulation is best for you? Most dermatologist will recommend a physical sunscreen because of their ability to block both UVA and UVB rays. In addition, they are gentler on the skin and will last longer in the bottle.
3) Look for sunscreens that block both UVB rays, which cause our skin to burn, and UVA rays, which create sunspots, wrinkles, and sagging skin. However, it's important to remember that both UVA and UVB rays can cause skin cancer.
4) Avoid sunscreens that contain an SPF content lower than 15. Sunscreens that have an SPF of 15 or less can help prevent your skin from burning but won't protect your skin against skin cancer or aging.
5) Sunscreens that contain ingredients like green tea and vitamin C not only help protect your skin but they also help reverse the signs of aging. Try our Protective Powder which has an SPF of 30 plus essential vitamins and nutrients for overall skin health.

100 Years of Ford Trucks
Tells the entire Ford truck story from the very beginning, when Ford got its start in truck production.
In July 1917 Ford Motor Company introduced a one-ton chassis for commercial trucks, marking what many historians feel was its official entry into the dedicated truck business. Prior to this the company had offered commercial cars, including depot hacks and delivery van bodies mounted on its standard passenger car chassis. Dealers had also offered small after-market pickup beds that could be placed on the rear of a Model T car to convert it to a pickup. But with the debut of the rugged Model TT truck chassis, Ford was firmly in the truck market. Eight years later it introduced its first factory-produced pickup, a sturdy half-ton job that met with great acceptance. During the century that has passed since that first Ford truck chassis, the F-series has become the best-selling truck in the world, and the best-selling vehicle of any type in America. Every year the company sells over 700,000 F-series trucks, and well over 1.5 million trucks of all types, just in the U.S. It's an amazing success.
Ford Tough: 100 Years of Ford Trucks tells the entire Ford truck story from the very beginning, when Ford got its start in truck production. This book provides the history of the wide array of models Ford has built over the past century, including the Model A roadster pick-up, stylish 81C pickups, legendary 1948 F-1, Bronco, Courier, Ranchero, Econoline.

Brexit – How Is It Affecting Young People?
Brexit – will it / won't it / when / what / how . .??
The uncertainty has had major effects on business, currency markets and politics to name but a few.
What has changed in our lives – and especially the lives of young people?
Has it raised anxiety levels significantly? Or have the ceaseless to-ings and fro-ings and 24/7 coverage simply deadened many of us to any new effects? Have we just switched off from it all?
We look at impact today, not at the rights or wrongs of Brexit nor how things may unfold.
A quick recap with focus on the younger generation
Nearly three quarters (73%) of 18 to 24 year-olds who voted, voted Remain although only about half of that age group voted.
Older people favoured Leave. Analysis showed that this preference increased steadily with the age of the voter.
Brexit uncertainty makes people feel powerless, anxious and worried
The Mental Health Foundation polled UK adults aged 18 and over. The results showed that "in the last year, Brexit had made them feel powerless (43 per cent), angry (39 per cent) or worried (38 per cent)."
That's all adults, not just younger people, but the picture is fairly clear. Political uncertainty is a worry for a lot of individuals. Some are naturally more prone to worry than others, as with every aspect of life. Brexit is just another weight, albeit a big one.
Middle aged white men taking decisions that the young disagree with
Young people feel left out. Nobody is really listening to them.
There is a very obvious generation divide. Older people have different attitudes and have absorbed more experiences from pre-Brexit days but also absorbed current affairs more deeply that any 16 year old could possibly have.
Young citizens org is a charity set up in the late 1960s to both educate young people about The Law and to get them usefully engaged in current affairs and society in general. Ignorance and apathy lead to missed opportunities at best.
Brexit and Young People sets out what requirements need to be included around any Brexit event – whether with or without a deal to safeguard the best interests of this generation.
The recommendations include
Actively include young people in discussions about Brexit and listen to their views
Ensure cross-cultural ties are retained and strengthened especially at student level (e.g. Erasmus student exchange)
Encourage democratic reform to better engage young people as young as 16
Things you can do to ease the stress
The Mental Health Foundation has a very useful tips list of simple and practical actions you can take. That helps to minimise the negative impact that events can have on us and our families.
If you can't change the causes, you can at least filter them.

The church is at the eastern end of the village, with Stutton House (built as the rectory in 1750) immediately south of it.
St Peter's is a complex building with many additions.
Nave and chancel are similar in height, the chancel slightly taller. On the south side, the tower acts also as a porch into the nave, and a transeptal south vestry has been added to the chancel. On the north is a transept added to the east end of the nave with the Lady Chapel east of this, alongside the chancel. All is of flint and pebbles, but the north wall of the nave has been rendered and whitewashed.
The nave is 14th century. with cusped Y-tracery windows. The tower is early 15th century. and of flint with Bath stone dressings with diagonal buttresses on the southern angles and an embatttled parapet decorated with chequered flushwork.
The remainder of the church results from various Victorian campaigns. The north transept was added in 1862 to accommodate schoolchildren, and in 1875 the Lady Chapel was added to the east of it. The chancel was rebuilt in the same year. Its three-light cusped intersecting E window is said to be an exact copy of the original, and if so this suggests an early 14th century date. The south vestry dates from 1879 and serves as an organ chamber. It was enlarged to accommodate a bigger organ in 1902. In 1975 the arches separating the north transept and Lady Chapel from the main vessel were blocked with glass panels. In the external east wall of the south vestry is a reset lancet window, 11th-12th century in date, which is the only Romanesque feature of the church.
We are always on the look out for people wishing to learn bell ringing.

Retail lobby: Army & Navy closure indicates broader pressure felt across retail sector

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — Army & Navy isn't likely to be the last retail store to permanently shut their doors, according to the Director of the Retail Council of Canada.
Greg Wilson says it's possible that 20 to 30 per cent of retailers in B.C. won't survive the pandemic shutdowns.
The federal government announced toward the end of April, a 75 per cent subsidy for commercial renters, which Wilson contends though doesn't provide enough coverage under the current rules.
"Firstly, it was dependent on landlords, applying for the program, and some landlords just didn't apply," he tells NEWS 1130. "Secondly, it was dependent on whether you had a mortgage; some people don't have mortgages."
He says Ottawa should be moving to retool its rental subsidy program for commercial tenants.
"They did say at the beginning that they might have to tweak their program I hope they tweak it before too many more small retail businesses collapse or don't reopen," he says.

These days, RFID chips are present in almost sorts of items, such as rfid credit card, library book, grocery good, security tag, implanted pet detail, implanted medical record, passport and so on.
Some schools now require their students wear RFID tags to record data. The amount of information which could be read about you from RFID chips is quite a lot. You never know what those information thieves are planning to do with your information. It's important to understand the risks of RFID hacking and limit your exposure to harm. Here's the basics of what you need to know.
We all need secure passport cover as our passport contain a chip that could be read with a scanner by a thief taking all our passport information. Who knows what evil can be done with that information,from opening new credit cards or a bank account to getting loans and it ruins our credit rating. Stay safe while traveling with your passport and buy an inexpensive and very worth every penny RFID Security Passport Wallet.
Use a RFID Credit Card Sleeve alone in a pocket or add these credit card sleeve to current wallet, bag or purse for security protection. It will feel so much better when giving these simple credit card sleeves to husband, dad and brothers who don't alwaysbring a wallet with them – make their financial information safe. When they wear out, it's easy and inexpensive to replace them. Security credit card sleeve makes a perfect gift idea and they'll really appreciate your thoughtfulness!
RFID clutch wallets and bags are very similar to the checkbook style wallet, instead of, larger. These are ideal for the person who loves to carry a handbag, wants it function like a wallet and needs more area for other essentials such as keys, mints, lipsticks or other favorite makeup item for daytime or a dinner date or any other date night. RFID blocking clutch wallets are the answer to credit cards security in a bag or wallet.
I've been giving these anti skimming sleeves to my dad and husband for identity theft protection since there are times when they don't like carrying a wallet and I worry about them and their security. Credit card sleeve protectors really work to protect you from identity scanners and are great for someone that has a lot of credit cards they need to carry or when you just carry one card and may not want to carry a wallet.

Q: Only one field left in the table - while solving localization While trying to move table fields that are to be translated into several languages into *_i18n tables I came to situation when my tables(author, abstract_book, publisher) were left with only 1 field. My teacher says that it is a bad practice to have tables that do not have any fields but id. Is there any better way to do this?

A: I was about to say an author's name (or a person's name at that) is always the same, but then I remembered that Jules Verne is really called Julio Verne in some Spanish speaking countries and we call Mr. Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский Dostojewski in German and Dostoevsky in English.
While ID-only tables look a bit strange, they can still serve for referential integrity. You cannot have a book with an author ID that doesn't exist for instance. But you could still have instances without any language entry. E.g. Book 1 was written by authors 2 and 3, but we don't know the book's title or the authors' names. That's the big drawback of this design.
For this reason I'd add columns to the tables for identification. There are three approaches to this:

*

*Add the real name (author's name, book's title, publisher's name) to the table. That would be the author 'Достоевский' for instance.

*Add the name in a default language (e.g. English) to the table. That would be the author 'Dostoevsky' for instance. With this approach you would ensure that data for the default language would be complete. (While data in other languages may have gaps.)

*Add a reference to the i18n table's row (again original language or default language) to the table. This, however, has the problem that you want to have the reference not nullable, so the tables would be cross referenced. This calls for deferrable constraints and these are not available in MySQL.

Whichever of these three approaches you prefer, they all do the same: The table has an ID and a name/title. Thus you have a default, when an I18N entry is missing. And you can detect errors. If author 1 is called 'Jules Verne' in the author table and his French name is 'Jules Verne' and his English name is 'Mary Shelley', then you know which entry is incorrect :-)

Ravenscar Roman Signal Station, East Yorkshire
August 27, 2012 by sunbright57
OS grid reference: NZ 9811 0188. The village of Ravenscar is to be found on the east Yorkshire coast, some 10 miles north of Scarborough, and 1 mile north of Staintondale. 700 feet above the seashore on the stepped, grassy headland stands the Raven Hall Country House Hotel on Raven Hall road. The building is said to have been built over, or on the site of, a Roman signal station and a fort or, more likely a fortlet? There is some uncertainty about this. The nearest recorded Roman fort is at Leaso Rigg, some 9 miles to the west. Also of interest near the Hotel is the Peak Alum Works, which is now a site of great archaeological interest.
The signal station here at Ravenscar was one of a chain of warning beacons that stretched along the Yorkshire coast from the Humber estuary to Teesdale. They were probably built in c370 AD at a time when the north of England was being invaded from Scotland by Pictish tribes, and from across the north sea by Saxons. These beacons could be fired-up at short notice to warn Roman garrisons further along the coast of impending raids by invaders from both land and sea.
As was the case with the other signal stations, the one upon the headland above Ravenscar was built of stone and timber and would have had a large square-shaped tower with a beacon on top; a small courtyard would have run around the building, surrounded by high walls with look-out towers at angles along these walls and a ditch on the outside. A block-house for a small garrison of soldiers would have stood at the side or was attached to the signal station. Sometimes a fortlet was built along-side, which may have been what happened here. There is a rectangular earthwork in the garden of the hotel beside the cliff-edge – part of which at the extreme eastern-side has now gone over the edge. In the middle of this a square-shaped feature with low walls, recently excavated, would have been the beacon tower. This is probably all that now remains of the former signal station, the fortlet would have been where the hotel now stands. By about 405 AD the signal stations along the coast had been abandoned as Roman troops were recalled to Gaul, the people of Britain being left to look after themselves. In the 9th century the building was destroyed by Viking invaders.
A piece of stone from the foundations of the signal station was unearthed in 1774 when the original Raven Hall was being built (the hotel is now built on the site of the hall). This is now on display in Whitby museum. A latin inscription on the flat rectangular stone recalls the building of the tower and fort from the ground by Justinianus, the praepositus (Governor of the province) and Vindicianus, the magister (Prefect). The Latin inscription in full is: IVSTINIANUSPP VINDICIANVS MASBIERIVRR MCASIRVMEFC ACO.

Last month TheBlaze introduced you to John Hetlinger, the 82-year-old navy veteran who stunned the audience of "America's Got Talent" with his rendition of Drowning Pool's "Bodies."
Hetlinger's performance earned him a special shout-out from the heavy metal band, who called the tribute "bad ass."
Image source: YouTube/America's Got Talent
They even offered him an opportunity to perform with them at an upcoming show.
"Shout out to the 82 year old dude that sang 'Bodies' on America's Got Talent. You are welcome to join us on stage anytime!!!" Drowning Pool wrote on its Facebook page.
Hetlinger decided to take them up on that offer. On Friday night, the 82-year-old accompanied Drowning Pool on stage during their performance of "Bodies." And once again, he crushed it.

Bubbledogs&: The Kitchen Table & The Legacy

Chef James Knappett
GM Sandia Chang
(apologies to the many other Bubbledogs staff that I have not included)
In the short time that the back room of Bubbledogs& (The Kitchen Table) has been open, it has perhaps been more widely written about in the national media than it has in food blogs, for this is without doubt the logical, and possibly ultimate, conclusion of current food trends that emphasise the ingredient, seasonal produce (what ever is in/good that day so that the menu does indeed change daily) and allow you to get up close and personal with the chef.
But it would be wrong to argue that this is merely a participation in a trend by James Knappett and Sandia Chang, rather, it's a philosophy that has been a part of their cooking heritage, influenced especially by their time at Per Se, that has now been enabled through the opening of the restaurant. Thomas Keller, who has eaten at Bubblegdogs& and spoken of James and Sandia 'continuing the legacy' wrote back in 1999, in The French Laundry Cookbook:
"Most chefs try to satisfy a customer's hunger in a short time with one or two dishes. They begin with something great. The initial bite is fabulous. The second bite is great. But by the third bite - with many more to come - the flavours begin to deaden, and the diner loses interest.
Most chefs try to counter the deadening effect by putting lots of different flavours on the plate to keep interest alive. But then the diner can't focus on anything because it's confusing.
What I want is that initial shock, that jolt, that surprise to be the only thing you experience. So I serve five to ten small courses. I want you to say "God, I wish I had just one more bite of that." And then the next plate comes and the same thing happens, but it's a different experience, a whole new flavour and feel."
Once seen in this light, the philosophy of the person who is perhaps the greatest single influence on both James and Sandia's professional career, the restaurant, as it is, seems almost an inevitable outcome.
The food is, I think, amongst the very best of its kind out there; I've been lucky enough to eat at The Kitchen Table several times already, and each time I've delighted in it. And like I did on the night of my last meal there, most diners don't leave without booking a return visit: it's that "God, I wish I had one more bite of that effect" that Keller notes above.
But it's not just the food that makes Bubbledogs 'The Kitchen Table' special. The venue is stunning, the table wrapping around the kitchen, placing you with your fellow diners at the centre of the action (unless of course you're George Osborne or certain food critics who don't like sitting with the plebs). And then there's the people, headed up by James & Sandia, and with them a really great team, who carry the banner for the very best of hospitality in this country today; work done with pride and a smile.
In every respect then, from the food served, to the way it is served, to how they nurture their staff, James & Sandia are continuing a legacy that started decades ago, and the outcome is simply brilliant.

We Can Do Better
June 26, 2018 June 27, 2018 / By charlottewomensmovement
End Zero Tolerance; Support Family Safety
As a champion for those in need, Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy fights for family unity every day. We condemn the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy" which has led to the mass separation of children from their parents when they cross the U.S.-Mexico border fleeing unspeakable violence and trauma in their home countries.
There is no law that requires the Department of Homeland Security to separate families. Today, the president admitted as much when he issued an Executive Order directing the Attorney General to request that the Flores settlement be modified to allow entire families to be detained in immigration prisons during criminal prosecutions. Since 1997, the Flores settlement has prohibited the U.S. government from jailing migrant children.
This is unacceptable. If the Flores settlement were modified in the manner proposed by the president, then children would be jailed while their parents are prosecuted. Furthermore, altering the Flores settlement will allow the administration to keep families in prison while they fight their asylum cases – which can take years. The Flores settlement arose because of the inhumane conditions families were being held in. Many of these parents and children are asylum seekers. This is an attempt to prevent Central Americans from availing themselves of our asylum laws, or to punish them for seeking asylum by keeping them incarcerated. The solution to this crisis is for the Trump Administration to stop its "zero tolerance" policy of prosecuting every migrant attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border.
Once released from detention at the border, many of these children will arrive in Charlotte to await proceedings before the Charlotte Immigration Court. As Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy prepares to offer them legal assistance, here are other policies that will impact these families:
Asylum Defense: Last Monday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued an opinion overturning protections for victims of domestic violence seeking asylum in the United States. This opinion will require many asylum seekers who are victims of domestic violence and gang activity in Central America to appeal their cases multiple times and will result in immigrants without attorneys being deported.
Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy represents many children and some adults in domestic violence and gang-based asylum claims. This representation is made more difficult and will require additional resources because of the Attorney General's opinion.
Protecting Sponsors: Since 2011, Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy has been an Office of Refugee Resettlement approved site for the completion of the required background checks necessary for a child to be released from custody to a sponsor. In addition to the background checks, we provide a legal orientation for the sponsors explaining the immigration legal process the children will be subject to. These sponsors are almost always family members of the children. In the event they are not family members, there is a requirement that the sponsor have a preexisting relationship with the child's family.
In April, the Trump administration changed these procedures to not only collect fingerprints from potential sponsors, but also fingerprints of any other adults in their households with no guarantee that the information won't be used for immigration enforcement.
These enhanced requirements have created a chilling effect, forcing families and sponsors to ensure the release, safety and well-being of these detained children at the risk of exposing their own immigration status to the federal government. As potential sponsors choose not to accept this responsibility out of fear, children remain in overcrowded shelters. The average duration of stay in these shelters has risen from 34 days in December 2016 to 57 days. Under this policy, the wait for these children will only grow longer.
Access to legal representation: Regardless of what plays out at the federal level, these children and their families will need legal representation. NO ONE, not even a small child, has the right to legal representation in immigration court.
Many of these children's cases will be processed here in Charlotte's Immigration Court, adding to the already great need for legal assistance here.
These cases will add to the more than 300 open cases Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy currently has for unaccompanied children, most of whom, have been subjected to some form of trauma over the course of their young lives. They have witnessed horrific violence or been subject to it in their home country or on their long journey to the U.S. These cases will take years to process through an overburdened immigration court system.
As a community and nation of immigrants, we can do better.
How to help:
Contact your representatives: You have the power to change this narrative. While the administration has full power to end this policy on its own, Congress is considering legislation that will force the administration to change course as well as enact stronger immigration laws. Urge members of Congress to vote down the two anti-immigrant bills moving through the House this week. The House is expected to vote on two anti-immigrant bills on Thursday, June 21: one proposed by Rep. Bob Goodlatte and another proposed by House Speaker Paul Ryan. Neither bill adequately addresses family separation and child detention, nor does it offer a lasting solution to the administration's decision to end DACA.
Share this message: Circulate this message and share on social media to let your networks know what is going on. The deliberate and systematic separation of families is a moral crisis that we as a community must condemn.
Stay informed: Join Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy for a community teach-in on what happens to unaccompanied children when they arrive in Charlotte and learn about ways to support them in our community. Monday July 2, 6:30 p.m. at International House 1817 Central Avenue, Charlotte NC

I am much of a baker. I have been using it to mix meat while making meatloaf and other mixtures I find it great for that. I have tried it to mix thicker batters and it thins it out great. This is the first pastry cutter I have used. It has such a variety of uses. It is not flimsy it is very strong and does not bend. Made of great top stainless steel. Blending butter or margarine into dry ingredients such as flour, sugar or baking powder is so much easier also.
It is really easy to clean. You can easily just through it into the dish washer. The handle is super easy to grip I received this product complimentary in exchange for my unbiased review and opinion. All opinions and words are my own.

Q: Increase the limit of file upload size in Heroku while uploading to Dropbox I have encountered an issue while uploading files to dropbox through my application that is hosted on Heroku. I wanted to upload approx 100MB files and they aren't being hosted on Heroku itself. I couldn't find anything on docs that'd address this issue entirely.
I tried an hack, I created a file named custom_php.ini and in ProcFile I added this line:
web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 -i custom_php.ini .
And in my custom_php.ini file I set upload_max_filesize to 100M.
But this didn't work for the files of size more than 10MB. What I'm missing here? Is it even possible? Is there any official way around?

A: To increase the file upload limit in Heroku while uploading to Dropbox, follow these steps:

*

*Create a file named custom_php.ini, preferably.

*Insert two attributes post_max_size and upload_max_filesize and set their value to the desired upload limit. (In my case, its 100M)

*Create a ProcFile and add this line web: vendor/bin/heroku-php-apache2 -i custom_php.ini .

*Commit these changes to Heroku.

I missed to add post_max_size in my custom_php.ini. And by this method, you can override any php.ini configuration for Heroku.

A: It's actually in the Heroku doc:
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-php-settings#php-runtime-settings
Just create a .user.ini file in the web directory with your custom directives

A: I was going to comment on Romain's answer, but I don't have enough points:
The .user.ini file with the desired changes needs to be placed in the root folder, which is the /public folder if you're using Laravel.
Just check your root folder in your Procfile.

A: In case of nginx and PHP FPM the following works:
Add these to nginx config (typically into php-fpm.inc.conf):
php_value[post_max_size]=100M
php_value[upload_max_filesize]=100M

How to get your HVAC certification and the different types of HVAC certification.
Heating, refrigeration and air-conditioning technicians are required to complete HVAC courses and on the job training for most employers. In addition, they are required to pass a certification exam in order to become licensed, though the requirements for certification vary by state or locality. The actual certification exams vary by location as well, with some areas focusing on the knowledge of electrical codes and others geared more toward specific HVAC knowledge. Most certifications also require the completion of an apprenticeship program and up to five years of experience in the field.
An additional certification is typically required for technicians who plan to work with refrigerants. Technicians in this field must pass a written examination on the specific aspects of this specialization.
There are three certification types for HVAC technicians who plan to specialize in refrigeration. The first certification (Type I) is for the servicing of small appliances. Type II is required for those working with high-pressure refrigerants, and Type III technicians are certified in low-pressure refrigerants. The examinations for these certifications are administered by organizations, which have been approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Typically, theses organizations include contractor associations, building groups, unions, and trade schools.
Many students interested heating, refrigeration, and air-conditioning opt for HVAC online training in order to prepare them for their career and for the certification exams. HVAC classes can easily be taken online, and once the courses have been completed the student can begin searching for an employer to fulfill the apprenticeship requirement.
Typically, a student who chooses to take HVAC courses and earn certification will have a background in or take classes in shop math, mechanical drawing, electronics, blueprint reading, chemistry and computer applications throughout high school. These courses provide a good learning base for entering into the HVAC field.
During the course of study for HVAC, students may be required to take a number of different exams in order to measure their skills. For students who have completed the HVAC coursework, but have less than one year of experience in the field, there is a series of exams available to test their basic competence in areas such as residential heating and cooling, commercial refrigeration, and light commercial cooling and heating. These are entry-level certification exams and are most commonly administered to technicians at postsecondary and secondary schools.
Technicians who have at least one year of HVAC experience in installation and two years of experience in repair and maintenance are offered a number of exams to certify their skills in working with different types of equipment.
Although certification is not required for advancement in the field of HVAC, most employers prefer that technicians acquire certification in the field or specialty in which they are working. With the growing need for HVAC technicians, those entering the field are much more likely to find employment and career advancement with one or more certification.

READY FOR THE FUTURE
Since 2015, Soetaert is part of dredging, offshore and construction company Jan De Nul Group. The integration brought us major, challenging and international projects, often in cooperation with the civil and dredging division of the global player that we are now part of.
Our know-how about a very broad range of foundation techniques and our modern machinery combined with the expertise and innovative drive within Jan De Nul Group leads to great projects and results. More than ever, we can offer our clients overall solutions to size.
As a Jan De Nul Group company, Soetaert was, among others, co-responsible for the construction of a new quay for the PSA Terminal in Panama. To optimise both the quality and the cost and time efficiency of the project, Jan De Nul Group developed a new innovative method. The new quay, which was built at right angles to the existing quay, was largely built in a dry building pit, up to 23 metre below sea level. A dike shielding both the Panama Canal and the Pacific Ocean made this possible. The new container quay rests on five rows of foundation piles. Their installation was not an easy job given the heterogeneous subsoil. Still, thanks to our in-house expertise in foundation techniques, the high level of difficulty and complexity of this project was never a problem. On top of these piles, over a width of 35 metres, large concrete prefabricated elements were placed. Jan De Nul Group started its own production of these prefabricated elements, fabricating elements of almost 60 tonnes and transporting them to their final location. Finally, the surface was finished with in-situ cast reinforced concrete, including a rail system for container cranes and all quay equipment. Using our own earthmoving equipment, we excavated over 2 million m³. Once the building pit was under water, Jan De Nul Group dredged another 2 million m³.
Also for the world's biggest lock, the enormous Kieldrecht lock in Antwerp, we used a wide range of foundation and sheet piling techniques. A lock that can only be described using superlatives and is no doubt ready for the future. And so are we.
Soetaert: building on firm foundations!
