Duchess of Sussex giggles with The Queen during joint visit to Cheshire
Today, The Duchess of Sussex carried out her first royal engagement without her husband by her side; however, Meghan had a strong companion for her visit to Cheshire, as she was accompanied by her grandmother-in-law, Her Majesty The Queen.
The Queen and Meghan arrived in the north yesterday evening on the royal train, spending the night onboard before it arrived in Runcorn this morning. They were greeted by the Lord-Lieutenant of Cheshire, David Briggs MBE, who gave them a warm reception; this is the first time that Meghan – who married Prince Harry just last month – has visited northern England.
First stop for Meghan and Her Majesty was the official opening of the Mersey Gateway Bridge. The royal guests were greeted by large crowds of local schoolchildren, who had been waiting anxiously to catch a glimpse of their visitors, despite the strong winds brought about by Storm Hector. One lucky student, Abigail Grimes from Beechwood Primary School, was chosen to present the new Duchess of Sussex with a posy, as today Abigail celebrates her 5th birthday.
The Mersey Gateway Bridge is a multi-million pound six-lane toll bridge which connects Runcorn and Widnes; the bridge opened last October and it is hoped that it will reduce congestion on the Silver Jubilee Bridge. During today's visit, The Queen and the Duchess met people who had worked on the project, including architects and planners.
As they settled down to watch performances by local schoolchildren, the two women appeared to be in high spirits and very comfortable in each other's company, sharing a laugh onstage. Indeed, it appeared that the Sovereign – known for her sense of humour – was making her granddaughter-in-law laugh as they chatted between performances.
Today, Meghan is actually wearing a pair of pearl earrings which Buckingham Palace have confirmed was a gift from The Queen to the newest member of her family; the Monarch is known for her love of pearls and the earrings closely resemble the classic style favoured by Elizabeth II herself, which are a pair of Queen Mary's.
Before departing for their next engagement, The Queen unveiled a plaque to commemorate the official opening of the Mersey Gateway Bridge.

At midday, the royal duo joined the nation in observing a minute's silence to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Grenfell Tower disaster, which took the lives of 71 people. Her Majesty, who visited the tower residents in the immediate aftermath of the disaster with Prince William, was wearing green today; it is possible that she chose to do so in honour of the #GreenforGrenfell movement, which is encouraging people to wear green today in memory of the dead.

The Queen and Meghan then travelled to Storyhouse, a theatre facility which opened last year following the conversion of Chester's former Odeon cinema. The renovation cost £37 million and the building now has a state-of-the-art theatre, cinema and library. Storyhouse focuses on promoting childhood literacy and reaching out to marginalised groups; the project currently offers 2,000 annual activities for those on the margins of society.
Representatives from some of these groups were present during today's royal visit, including Storyhouse Young Leaders and the Fallen Angels Dance Company, which works with former addicts. Her Majesty and the Duchess were treated to performances from various groups, including the Fallen Angels.
As well as watching the performances, the royal ladies were taken on a tour of the facility, taking the time to speak to members of one of Storyhouse's craft groups.

The final visit of the day for the newly-married Duchess and the Sovereign was at Chester Town Hall, where they attended a luncheon. Outside the Town Hall, crowds had gathered since the early morning to see the royal visitors and they were not to be disappointed. As well as walking to the venue, Meghan and Her Majesty stepped up on the Town Hall podium before going inside, giving the crowds a proper look at the newest royal bride and the longest-reigning Monarch.

Royal Mail: how to write to the Royal Family


We all know that Zodiac is the great wheel of astrology that houses the 12 signs. But do you know how this wheel was arranged? It was divided into 12 zones of 30 degrees and each zone was named after an existing constellation: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc. In this article, we will talk about it and focus on the cardinal quadruplicities.
Perhaps the most common division of astrology that everyone knows is the division by nature elements: fire, earth, air and water. Thus, we have the triplicities that consist of 4 groups of 3 signs. But, in addition to the identification by element, the geometric trace of the zodiacal wheel allows another division.
Astrological quadruplicities (or qualities) are what we call the 3 groups of 4 signs after this split separation. In this way, instead of the element, the signs are divided according to their specific energy. And they always obey the cardinal order, fixed and mutable.
We can begin to explain the cardinal quadruplicities just by saying that they carry the purest and most genuine factor of a sign. It means that is where the main characteristics of a sign will appear in a stronger and taxing way. An energy of opening your own path is born.
Cardinal quadruplicities will always be the first. And, if you notice, they represent the beginning of a new season: Aries (Spring), Cancer (Summer), Libra (Fall) and Capricorn (Winter).
This analogy allows us to understand that these signs are the initiators. Hard as it may be to imagine Capricorn as an initiator, this sign is rather capable of new adventures. Because here we are talking about a common factor that connects these 4 signs of different elements.
The energy of these four signs is more active and focused on problem solving. Of course each in its own way. But usually these signs do not paralyze when finding obstacles and are capable of a greater understanding. The word of order of the cardinal quadruplicites is "action".
People born under a cardinal sign are ambitious and have a born entrepreneurial spirit. They can not stand still and always run after what they want. The instinct to make it happen surpasses any other.
And it is not only under the Sun that someone obtains the qualities of the cardinal quadruplicities. In observing our natal chart, we can identify whether we have much or little cardinal energy with us. If we are born under a mutable sign, but we have other planets positioned in cardinal or fixed signs, things tend to become more balanced.
Cardinal energy is a very beautiful energy and represents the beginning of everything. It gives us what it takes to start something and that is very welcome. For we all need an inner propulsion engine to achieve our goals. So if your natal chart shows cardinal signs in a considerable number, you can be happy.
On the other hand, if the person has an excess of cardinal energy, it can be difficult to handle so much energy release. With this, they can easily become domineering and untimely. They also tend to be rushed who do not think much about their actions before taking them. Or else, they may even think but they end up manipulating or even overtaking others to do it the way they want.


I 'accidentally' spotted this the other day walking past to go into another isle. Beauty Treats is a brand stocked at my local pharmacy and this is their second eye shadow palette I own. This actually reminded me of the old Morphe 25A or 25B palette's. Beauty Treats is such an affordable brand with some hidden gems if you take the time to properly review their range.
I love the packaging. It's simple, transparent with a variety of matte and shimmer shades. Each pan size is substantial and square shaped which is the average amount of product per shadow. This contains 25 eye shadows to the value of R89,95 for this palette, which is theory you paying only R3,60 per shadow on average which is crazy.
This is a warm toned palette which in my opinion is every girl's dream. There are some neutral shades, pink, brown, red, rose gold, gold etc.
The pigmentation is what really shocked me as it's stunning! I honestly thought this was going to be dusty, chalky and barely show up on my eyes. No, the pigmentation was there, the blend-ability was there too and the color pay off was spectacular. I was so surprised yet wondered how this palette performs so well for such a low price point.
I didn't experience that much fall out under my eyes or face but there was kickback in the palette. I didn't mind that as some high end eye shadows have a ton more kick back than this (I won't mention any names…).
I did not use any setting spray when applying the shimmer shades and still the quality and pigmentation was opaque. As you can tell in the picture I tried using as many shades as I could. The only 2 shades that did not show up in the swatch and my brow bone were the matte cream and matte white shades. Still that didn't bother me that much as only used those 2 shades on my brow bone as a base and then I usually go over that with my face highlight shade.
The other palette I own I received it as a gift and some of my makeup looks I've done with that palette which does have more bright shades in it. Overall that palette performed well too. I think as a whole, I do enjoy this brand's eye shadows.
Overall for the price, will definitely recommend this palette. I've been wearing it 3 days straight and this does last the entire day as long as you priming your eyes.
Retails for R89,95. Beauty Treats is stocked at Dischem Pharmacies.
Wow I love the makeup look you created! So pretty!
Thank you so much for this review! I saw this that Dischem this morning and was on the fence about it. You've clarified all my questions – God bless and have an awesome day!
Thank you doll, will check it out!


Umami – the fifth taste – is held in holy regard by the Ningbo community and it shows in their food. Meats are stewed until they swell with the essence of homemade sauces. Salted vegetables are showered over freshly caught seafood to draw out the delicate flavours. It's a beautiful thing when done properly.
For the most part, Wen Ding Yi Hao does well at recreating the flavours Ningbo cuisine is renowned for. The head chefs hail from the restaurant's mother company in Zhejiang and are all well-versed in the regional style of cooking that defines most of the menu. Unfortunately, the same authenticity doesn't translate to the physical space, which is a loud and garish mishmash of faux European glam. Ivory white and gold Victorian-style chairs that look like they were stolen from Disneyland's castle are set around carpets adorned with massive floral prints. It's best to focus on the food and ignore the décor.
Simple dishes are done particularly well here. A traditional, homestyle dish takes fleshy stalks of bok choy and braises them in a sugar and soy sauce reduction ($58). The result is sweet, sticky and saline all at the same time. In another delicious starter, thin slices of heavily salted boiled pork ($98) appear with strips of fat that melt like brackish butter on the tongue.
There are milder offerings. A serving of crystal rolls ($68) sees thick stacks of roughly chopped leafy greens wrapped in translucent rice flour sheets punctuated with black sesame. The dish is passable but boring compared to more robustly flavoured items. The signature red-braised pork ($198), for example, arrives in a heavy black pot with hunks of meat and daikon radish that have been dyed dark brown by the marinade. Gentle notes of star anise linger in the sauce and soak deep into the layers of gelatinous pork fat. This is the sort of food that the restaurant's chefs really excel at.
Though Wen Ding Yi Hao comes close to a fully authentic Ningbo dining experience, there are instances when 'close to' is still a little too far. Such is the case with the restaurant's stir-fried river shrimps ($198), which are surprisingly insipid, devoid of the delicate sweetness one would expect to find in freshwater shellfish culled from the clean waters of Jiang Su (so the menu claims). Thankfully, the disappointment is tempered by the accompanying basket of deep-fried beancurd, which are shaped into marble-sized pellets and remain silky and supple within a crispy, peppery coating. The stir-fried rice cakes with crab meat ($168) could also use some tweaking. The dish graces the table with flecks of bright orange roe clinging to the chewy white rounds of sticky rice dough. It's enticingly fragrant on arrival but borderline bland on the palate.
Ending the meal with Ningbo-style glutinous rice flour dumplings is pretty much de rigueur. Here, the pillowy mochi-like balls come two to an order in a clear, gold-hued sweet soup flavoured with osmanthus petals. The soup could use more flavour but the dumplings themselves are delicious – supple and chewy without being overly sticky and fully plumped with deliciously runny ground black sesame.

Anime Stuff, Unimportant Things
Thoughts on Shinryaku!? Ika Musume And Happy New Year's
January 1, 2014 August 16, 2017 by Kapodaco
Last completed anime of the year! And it only took me about eight months!
I think this season of Ika Musume was a little bit more dull than the first season. It gave more opportunities for other characters to steal the show, but ultimately, it was still about Ika. I particularly enjoyed the last few episodes after pulling myself to finish the first eight. I suppose they saved their best for last, and it certainly shows. The last episodes were the most humorous and the most memorable, outside of the segment with Little Ika. Oh, Little Ika.
Plot was the same. Ika is a squid girl. See how she squids.
Characters were a little more apparent with this season, specifically Chizuru. Takeru and Cindy got a little less attention than in the first season to make way for new characters that didn't really stand out much. Regardless, most of the characters were entertaining and, at times, humorous. Although, my stone face was never broken outside of mysterious-blonde-girl-lol's appearance in the last episode. It took me a while to remember that she also made an appearance in the first season's finale. I wonder who she may be? The creator?
Art was essentially the same, perhaps a little shinier. I can't really recall seeing as it's been almost a year since I've seen the first season. Will I go re-watch it just to make sure? More than likely not. Perhaps some gifs will do.
Overall, it was a lot of the same. Seeing how it's been so long, I can't recall whether or not I enjoyed the first season as much as I enjoyed this season. I only remember that my review for the first season leaned more toward sarcastic nitpicking than anything else. I guess I was just trying to look cool by picking on poor lil' Ika. My ego was still in development at the time. Regardless, Shinryaku! Ika Musume!? had spots where the jokes felt uninspired and dragged on at times (episodes 1-8), but was an overall pleasant experience (episodes 9 and onward). But seriously, who the hell is that blonde girl?
Oh, and Happy New Year's to all. My resolutions include:
Stop being lazy.

Thoughts on Freezing: Vibration (Explicit, Spoilers)
Thoughts on Natsu no Arashi! (Slightly Explicit & Some Spoilers)


A domain-name watcher would be useful, to check weekly if a watch-list of domains becomes available for open registration and email if/when one is.
As far as breaking into the industry of "watching" expiring domains, I doubt you will see dreamhost jump into this business. It is not like you think it is. Most domains coming out of the "redemption" phase are snapped up in "bundles" by an organization that hopes to resell some percentage of those domains to end users at a premium. Most just end up with a generic search page and and a price tag for awhile. The reseller will then sell the domain for a profit (greater than the normal annual renewal from a registrar). If no one buys it then when the reseller ultimately decides they won't make marginal income off the domain it will finally fall back out to being completely unavailable.
If you want to buy a domain that isn't currently available then work thru the process as it is today. Either buy it at premium from a domain wholesaler when it expires and comes out of redemption, or wait it out until it appears on the open market again. It would not be difficult to create your own weekly watcher for this type. However, if the domain has any value it all it will never make it to that point, instead it will get picked up and resold during post redemption.
How do I 'think it is'?
Yes, I know they often/usually get snatched up for resale. However, I often do not want to pay a premium price at a wholesaler for a domain, but waiting until they let it go is a bit hit or miss (it could take years, and it may not be available for long).
For example, I tried registering my name as a .com, but it was taken. I periodically check, on the off chance it becomes available. Unfortunately it did, and someone else with my name (not a wholesaler) picked it up a few months later. I only found out when I next remembered to check and found out I'd been too late.
Obviously some may never become available, but on the off chance, a system that automatically checked and notified me would be extremely helpful. Actually, even just notifying me that it had transferred to a wholesaler would still be useful.
Believe me I get it. I've been watching one particular .com name for a long time.
In short your post is in suggestions, and while this one might be great for some. I would much rather see dreamhost invest it's time and resources in many other projects. This one can be done on your own easily and cheaply if you really want it.
…I periodically check, on the off chance it becomes available. Unfortunately it did, and someone else with my name (not a wholesaler) picked it up a few months later. I only found out when I next remembered to check and found out I'd been too late.
DH would invariably use a crontab for this service. Once-a-week email really isn't going to help.
^ Do as LakeRat does.
Add a test to your own cron table and snap it up if/when/as soon as it's available.
I think that's the cost effective way on approaching this. Just create a cron to query a domain and if the result is true, just "mail -s" it. Creating the script might take hours though if it's the first time creating this.

Aussie nabs lead in Let The Right One In remake!
October 5, 2009 by Simon Miraudo 8 Comments
source: slashfilm.com
The cast of the American remake of the Swedish vampire flick Let The Right One In has been announced, with Australia's own Kodi Smit-McPhee nabbing the lead role.
Overture Films announced that Smit-McPhee will play the bullied young boy Owen. Chloe Moretz will star as the vampiric object of his affections, Abby. In the original film, they were known as Oskar and Eli. Rumours of Smit-McPhee and Moretz's casting emerged in July, which we responded to favourably.
Academy Award nominee Richard Jenkins will star as Abby's mysterious handler/helper. Although the character's name has not been announced, he was known as Hakan in the Swedish film.
As previously reported, Cloverfield helmer Matt Reeves will direct. Production begins next month in New Mexico, with a projected release set for 2010. The picture will be retitled Let Me In.
We're big fans of Tomas Alfredson's Let The Right One In here at Quickflix. I personally think it's one of the best films of the past two years and cannot recommend it highly enough. Although I would normally petition ANY remake of such a recent (and awesome film), I feel confident with Reeves and this cast on board.

It was only a matter of time before this was going to happen, but didn't think it'd be quite so soon! haha It's unnecessary, but like that stops them. There's a trend in Hollywood cherry-picking European flicks and remaking them as their own. They don't tend to do well.I recall "No Reservations" with Catherine Zeta Jones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Reservations_%28film%29It was based on the German film "Mostly Martha":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mostly_Martha_%28film%29For people into foreign film, a American remake is unnecessary. But I guess it's a cheap flick to make … just buy the rights to the story and cast away. Off the shelf. And perhaps more palatable for those who shy away from foreign films.It's not always totally bad tho because the US remake of Queer as Folk was quite good.

Also, the American remake of The Office.
There's a blog post: (re)Made in the USA. Foreign/indie films remade for US audience.I feel the same way about remakes of classic cinema too. A remake of All About Eve or Sunset Boulevard could never be done.
I don't think remakes in themselves are necessarily bad. Remember, Carpenter's The Thing, Scorcese's The Departed, Soderbergh's Ocean's Eleven, Nolan's Insomnia, Cronenberg's The Fly and even Wyler's Ben Hur were all remakes. Also, book and comic adaptations are all 'remakes' to some extent.

Fair enough, there are SOME good remakes…but I think you've listed just about all of them. If we were to list all the BAD remakes however, we would be here for quite a while.I really liked the original and so I'm pretty aprensive of this remake and it's inferior title ("Let Me In" – c'mon!)Still, the cast and crew involved is pretty strong – Jenkins rocks, and Chloe Moretz was good in (500) Days of Summer (and I can't wait to see her in Kickass)All in all…I guess I'm still on the fence. Maybe once we see a trailer…

Renaming Eli to Abby is typically American. Eli was a strange name in the film/book, which is reflected upon in the story because Eli is neither male nor female, but vampire. Oskar comments on this name being strange for a girl. Eli is an androgynous name, like Cody. Abby… I haven't met any dudes called Abby.
Simon Miraudo Reply October 7, 2009 at 12:55 am
Perhaps it's short for Abraham?
ellhy Reply October 10, 2009 at 4:51 am
In Let the Right One In, we never got any idea of how old Eli really was, and perhaps his/her name, being a little unusual, reflects that idea, as it's hard to guess what it may be short for, if anything.A name like Eli could belong to a boy or a girl, from any era, thus leaving this vampires true age and gender a complete mystery.Just one among many things which makes this particular vampire movie a little more intriguing (and better) than the norm.By re-naming Eli, they've taken away a bit of the mystery, so I hope they haven't made any more major changes, as these unanswered questions are the reason Let The Right One In worked so well….even my 70+ year old mother thought it was a good flick !

One Fan Dies and Several Injured at Linkin Park's South Africa Show
Wow, how tragic!
Apparently mayhem ensued in Cape Town, South Africa at a Linkin Park concert on Wedsnesday night. A female fan tragically died and about 20 other people were hurt when an adveritising structure collapsed prior to the concert due to high winds.
Someone should get fired for this! Why wasn't this structure tested to ensure that it can withstand this type of weather?
The wind gusts are said to have caused a temporary scaffolding structure to collapse onto fans who were on their way into the concert, but the show went on as scheduled. Linkin Park learned of the tragedy shortly after the concert ended. Should the concert have gone on with this tragedy?
Following the show, Linkin Park posted a message on their official website expressing their condolences to the family of the deceased fan and their concern for those injured:
Following our performance tonight at Cape Town Stadium, we were advised that several people were injured as a result of the collapse of an advertising tower erected by Lucozade in the parking area outside the venue.
We wish to express our deep sadness and concern for those injured and our heartfelt condolences to the family of the fan who died as a result of her injuries.
Though we have had no relationship with the sponsor or the entity responsible for erecting the structure, we take the safety of our fans very seriously and our thoughts are with all of those who were affected by this tragedy.
Craziness! Sending prayers to the familes and people affected by the tragedy.
I know the saying is "the show must go on" but damn. I really think the show should have been cancelled given the circumstances, what do you guys think?

The lady died in hospital and the temporary advertising scaffolding which fell had been cleared by the city's structural engineering dept. The gusts of wind were very high, and I believe it was an accident.

Avocado importers weigh in on NAFTA
Tom Burfield
As efforts to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement plod along, avocado importers generally are supportive of the pact, though some feel it could use some tweaking.
"We believe it should remain as it is," said Phil Henry, president of Henry Avocado Corp., Escondido, Calif.
"The relationship between Mexico and the U.S. has been very good and beneficial for everyone — for consumers, especially," he said.
Mission Produce Inc., Oxnard, Calif., is one of 11 members of The Produce Coalition for NAFTA, said Robb Bertels, Mission's vice president of sales and marketing,
The coalition issued a statement in which Steve Barnard, Mission's president and CEO, pointed out that U.S. consumption of avocados has increased by nearly five times since the U.S. border opened to Mexican imports.
"Regardless of growing regions, it's a win-win for everyone who has contributed to increasing demand driven by a consistent 12-month supply," he said.
The agreement isn't broken, Bertels said, "so it doesn't really need to be fixed."
Giovanni Cavaletto, vice president of sourcing for Index Fresh Inc., Riverside, Calif., said NAFTA, which took effect in 1994, has been "hugely beneficial," but he added that anything that's more than 20 years old might need some updating.
"It's probably worth going back in and looking at some of the mechanics of the law," he said. "A lot of things have changed."
For example, he said the market has grown from 400 million pounds of avocados to 2.5 billion pounds, and e-commerce has become a common means of buying and selling the fruit.
"It's been wonderful to watch the economic growth that all three countries have benefited from for the last 20 years," he added.
The Washington, D.C.-based United Fresh Produce Association issued a statement saying that the NAFTA era has seen "important growth in the fruit and vegetable industry to meet consumer demand."
But the statement added, "There are certainly specific challenges within fresh produce that NAFTA modernization can aggressively address, so we are pleased that this opportunity has been realized by the administration."
Tom Nassif, president and CEO of Irvine, Calif.-based Western Growers said in a statement that to encourage enhanced competition, "We ask the Trump administration to work with our North American trading partners to further work on science-based standards, harmonize sanitary and phytosanitary standards and eliminate other non-tariff trade barriers."
The next round of negotiations is set for Nov. 17-21 in Mexico City.

Backup singer Andrea Thomas finds spotlight on 'The Voice'
Cindy Watts
USA TODAY NETWORK - Tennessee
Andrea Thomas is no stranger to the spotlight — the Belmont University graduate used to be a backup singer for Carrie Underwood. But recently Thomas won a national stage on her own merit — the country singer-songwriter is on "Team Blake" on "The Voice."
"I think at every stage, I'm just thankful for opportunities to share my music with the world and for people to hear me and who I am," said Thomas, who still lives in Nashville. "I do feel like I have something I carry that I want to release, and that's making the world a better place with positive reinforcement and strong character and values."
Thomas says her fellow contestants "are like family" and "have some of the greatest hearts," but that singing to the four judges with their backs turned during the show's blind auditions was humbling.
"It's a different experience," she explained of the blind auditions. "You could be singing on a huge stage, but you can see people. The fact that people will turn or not turn is very vulnerable, to say the least. (It was) definitely the most terrifying, fun performance I've ever had in my life."
Shelton was the only coach to turn for Thomas, who sang a cover of an Alison Krauss song. She said seeing Shelton spin around was "such a relief" and that he was "honestly the only one I wanted."
Blake Shelton is dead set on winning 'The Voice'
Adding to the pressure of her tryout, Thomas said, was that her fiance, Joshua Hand, tried out for the first season of "The Voice." And while he was on television several times, he failed to get a chair turn. She said she was determined to get one for both of them.
"Overall it's been a smooth process," she explained. "But it's been challenging for me to stay true to who I am as an artist but also break boundaries and limitations I've put on myself. Basically what I found out was I was holding back."
When Thomas is in Nashville, she said, she likes to hang out at Pinewood Social, see shows at 3rd & Lindsley and Ryman Auditorium, and hike at Radnor Lake.
At 31 years old, which she points out could be considered old by music industry standards, she said she wants people to know that it's never too late to follow their dreams.
"God has everyone's moment right on time," Thomas said.
"The Voice" airs at 7 p.m. Mondays and Tuesdays on NBC.

The Goliad Massacre—The Other Alamo
Although overshadowed by the fall of the Alamo, the Goliad Massacre claimed the lives of twice as many Texas rebels.
Christopher Klein
As the ashes of the Alamo continued to smolder, Sam Houston feared another disaster could befall his Texas Army. Mexican forces under General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna continued to sweep across Texas toward Fort Defiance, the presidio in Goliad that had been seized by the rebels in October 1835 at the onset of the war for independence. Houston ordered Colonel James W. Fannin to evacuate his 400-man force from Goliad and retreat to Victoria, a town 30 miles to the east behind the natural defense of the Guadalupe River. "The immediate advance of the enemy may be confidently expected," Houston warned Fannin. "Prompt movements are therefore highly important."
Presidio La Bahia (Fort Defiance)
Fannin, however, lacked the same urgency as the orders he received on March 14, 1836. The finely bred, West Point-trained officer lingered for days as a 1,400-man army led by Santa Anna's chief lieutenant, General Jose de Urrea, closed in on Goliad. Whether indecisive, stubborn or loyal to the rebels away on missions whom he did not want to abandon, Fannin remained in Goliad until the morning of March 19. By the time the colonel ordered the retreat, it was too late. Urrea's advance riders had already spotted the Texan defenses, and the main army was just hours behind.
Even on the move, Fannin's long-delayed retreat advanced at a sluggish pace. When one of their carts fell into the San Antonio River, the colonel told his men to halt and retrieve it. Over the protests of his officers, Fannin also ordered his troops to stop for more than an hour to allow their oxen to graze. While the livestock ate, the rebels' stomachs rumbled since they forgot to pack any food.
When the Texans finally resumed their march in the afternoon, they quickly encountered the Mexican forces. Instead of taking cover in the nearby woods, Fannin ordered his men to form a square on an open prairie near Coleto Creek. With cannons stationed at each corner of the square, the Texans held firm. Although shot in the thigh, Fannin continued to lead the fight until darkness fell. Encircled by the enemy and low on ammunition and water, the desperate Texans worked through the night to dig ditches and haul overturned carts, dead horses and even fallen comrades to buttress the walls of their earthworks. When dawn broke, however, so did the realization that the arrival of Mexican reinforcements during the night had made their situation hopeless. Faced with annihilation, the Texans raised a white flag and were marched back to Goliad and incarcerated in the presidio chapel at Fort Defiance along with other rebels captured in the nearby area.
Colonel James W. Fannin
Fannin may have hoped, and even expected, that his men would be treated as prisoners of war and given clemency. If Urrea gave him that guarantee, however, he did not have the power to do so. A decree issued by Santa Anna in December 1835 ordered that all foreigners fighting against the government would be treated as pirates and executed. Urrea, however, urged his commander to be lenient. "This show of generosity after a hotly contested engagement is worthy of the highest commendation," Urrea wrote to Santa Anna, "and I can do no less than to commend it to your Excellency."
Santa Anna, however, had no desire for such mercy. He ordered the immediate execution of the "perfidious foreigners" and dispatched an aide to Goliad to ensure that Lieutenant Colonel Jose Nicolas de la Portilla, who had been left in charge at Goliad while Urrea continued his march through southern Texas, carried out his brutal directive. An hour after Santa Anna's execution orders arrived, Portilla received the contradictory message from Urrea to "treat the prisoners with consideration, and especially their leader, Fannin." After an agonizing night weighing the two instructions, Portilla decided to uphold the wishes of the Mexican dictator.
General Jose de Urrea
As Palm Sunday dawned on March 27, the prisoners were divided into quarters. While the sick and wounded remained in the chapel, the other three groups were escorted on different roads out of town. Believing they were on missions to gather wood, drive cattle or even sail to safety in New Orleans, the rebels joked and swapped stories. As soon as they were ordered to halt a half-mile from the fort, however, the Texans realized their fates. The Mexican guards opened fire. Those not killed by the gunshots were butchered with bayonets. Back at the presidio, the Mexicans executed the wounded against the chapel wall and even shot them in their makeshift beds. The injured Fannin was the last to be slaughtered. His three dying wishes were to be shot in the chest, given a Christian burial and have his watch sent to his family. Instead, the Mexican commanding officer shot Fannin in the face, burned his body with the others and kept the timepiece as a war prize.
Nearly 350 rebels were executed in the Goliad Massacre, almost twice as many as were killed at the siege of the Alamo. The death toll would have been even higher if not for a Mexican woman known as the "Angel of Goliad" who convinced a Mexican colonel to spare the lives of approximately 20 doctors, orderlies and interpreters.
Santa Anna's ruthless treatment of the captured soldiers had the opposite effect than what he intended. The "Napoleon of the West" was no longer seen as a brilliant military strategist but a cruel despot. The Goliad Massacre hardened attitudes toward Santa Anna throughout the United States and inflamed and unified the Texas resistance. Less than a month later, as Houston prepared his men for the decisive Battle of San Jacinto that would earn Texas its independence, he concluded his impassioned speech with the rallying cry: "Remember the Alamo! The Alamo! The Alamo!" His men thundered a reply with an addendum: "Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!"

7 Things You May Not Know About Sam Houston


They all headed back to the Black Stairs ready for Part 1.5 which I will tell NOW!
After the first batch of NPCs were killed in last night's S&W game I decided to make a few more and it was easy.
I rolled a D6 plus 10 for AC and a 1d8 for hit points. Blam seven NPCs! Guess what I made five of them dwarves, one human, and one elf fighter and mage. I gave them weapons and Blam I was done in about five minutes. I gave each one a name.
Mark the Fighter M Chain and Shield with Sword.The human was a Mastedellian or the main imperial human race. He was a racist who did not hold his tongue and was subsequently thrown down a pit by the Dwarf only to survive for a few more rounds while ghouls attacked.
The Band of Dwarves M, Dully, Martrus, Dontar, Dunkin, and Brannoc. All had Ring and Shield with Battle Axes!The five Dwarves were from a clan far to the northeast and they bragged that their caverns had never been taken by goblins much to the annoyance of the PC Dwarf.
There was Stryder the Elf Warrior and Mage with Longbow ready to fire.The lone elf was an archer and wizard. He mostly stuck with his trusty longbow.
Not to attack the newer systems but I could not do that in less than five minutes like I did with S&W.
The party decides to get the heck back to Raven's Keep and right in the servant's quarters they are ambushed by Raph and Tran. Raph and Tran attack with crossbow and Spear and miss! They close in and the Dwarf is killed (CRIT!) by Tran as well as Melenad and Beledad. The cleric is taken out as well as the elf but she does manage to kill Raph. Only Eva the thief is left standing as she fires her arrows at Tran hitting him but he still is up. She drops her bow and draws her sword as the battle axe barely misses. They both make a last strike his axe cutting her nearly to death and her blade hitting the mark killing Tran. She tires to heal the cleric and fails and succeeds on the elf who quickly pours a potion of healing that they found earlier in the cleric's mouth. They limp back to town.
It is said that each year in order in ensure a good harvest the Grain Maiden requires a husband the Wicker Man. She on good years takes any and all such as a slave or criminal but on desperate days she takes a person of pure blood preferably a virgin. Such as the old ways of Raven's Fort.
Drunk and stupid the Fighter and the two elf maidens were. The entire group of five hirelings had died in the first three rooms of Bloodrock Castle. The first room was a portrait room with pictures of great art that fell apart when touched. Filthy kobolds ambushed us and killed two of our nameless hirelings. The next room a former bedroom of a rich maiden, has human bandits that wiped out the rest of our retainers when goblins from the third room came in and ambushed from behind. It seems that old school has more deadly consequences than new school gaming. Lucky the players let their retainers die and they had to flee back to the inn to wait for another adventure. They sit there now drinking and regretting the senseless deaths of their retainers. Maybe they will be more careful next time.
She is a city that is build upon the ruins of another. No Dwarf woulds do such a thing but the wellspring in the center of the city that flows water as if from the elemental plane of water itself feeds all things in the area an makes them green. The ruins below will give you grief for we warned ye of the goblins and kobolds but we were called stubby little busybodies. Well we will make money off of our steel and will desert your foolish asses when it is unsafe. A city of 8000 or more people. I say more than 8000 cause there are many coming from the east escaping the war with the Zezusalonians. Most for work on farms and in the city. A small few are adventurers wanting the gold that lies in these ruined lands. I hope they stir up not the foul things that lay quiet forgetting how evil and powerful they be. Humans have a tendency to stir up ancient and foul beast who end up being a huge problems that we dwarves have to take care of. Stupid humans always wanting to fight for expansion when you can't make what you got at home perfect.
Here it is my sandbox map that has been going around in my head for the last few years. Ever since I went to make a really detailed setting for 3rd edition and found it near impossible due to the length of time it took to create I began looking at the older more simpler versions of the system.
I created the Odd Earth concept with the original Odd Guild group on a few postings. Later on with the new Odd Guild members came out with a setting called Odd Earth but I assume forgot to give me credit for the name and initial concept. Their concept of it a dream world of the know world has failed and as it was I that came up with it originally I will now use it in the background for my game world's name.
Being that I am unemployed I will most not likely be able to go to Babelcon. I was so hoping to play S&W with the Red Priest I do have one redeeming possibility, with half the gaming group being away at the con I will have the rest play my S&W setting. There has been game CLUNK with the hours long combat in 4th edition. People have began to notice that battles are long and get boring no matter how good the DM is AND we have fantastic DMs. S&W will show these gamers a new way (OR their munchkinisims will come through) that simple can and does work.
A Human Fighter and two Female Elves.
The Fighter had been traveling for the last 14 days from the Capital to Raven's Keep. A few hours before the city he met up with two female elves. Two Adarian Elves who told a story of the baron of Raven's Keep ravishing an elvish princess of their tribe and now they were at war with the baron. The Fighter groaned as he knew these elves would be trouble.
As they approached the city there was a great crowd of people and screams of pain! There was a man burning at the stake! A few rotting bodies hung by the neck from the wall, people in brass pots with only their heads sticking out who would be left to die slowly in their own filth. Stocks of ten with four unfortunates in them, to be left for days outside the city walls and anything could happen to them.
Then there was this raven haired girl with bright blue eyes and pale white skin. She wore strange black and red leather armor. She and two guards were at the top of the great stone wall some 20 ft high. She was abut to be hung by the neck until dead. The elves began to complain and the fighter told them this is the law and this is crime and punishment. As they were discussing the girl who was proclaiming her innocence and said she had spurned the baron, was throw off the wall and the noose caught on (1d6 damage) but it did not snap her neck but she would die (1 pt of damage a round) soon. One of the elves pulled out her bow and shot through the rope allowing the girl fall. The rather large crowd went wild and began to run into the town as someone screamed goblins attacking! The elf maidens quickly escorted the girl back into the city where she disappeared into the crowds. The fighter suggested that they do the same.
They found a rowdy inn and found rumors of all sorts of things going on. The baron was a womanizer, slavery was very popular here, two dungeons Bloodrock Castle and the Black Stairs beckoned adventureres to explore them and a few adventurer parties had went but never returned. Much adventure was to be found here.
A sage of great wisdom invited the party for a drink and told of Bloodrock Castle and a Tome that he wanted for a hefty price. He would tell them of the location and they would return him the Tome.

Are Future Events Priced Into Bitcoin?
Banning Cryptocurrencies in India is Not a Solution
World's Leading Derivatives Marketplace CME Group to Launch Bitcoin Options in Early 2020
Published by Sreeja Ramesh at September 21, 2019
World's leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace, CME Group Inc. will offer options on its bitcoin futures contracts starting in the first quarter of next year.
The CME Group owns large derivatives, options and futures exchanges in Chicago and New York City using its CME Globex trading platforms. It also owns CME Clearing which provides settlement and clearing of exchange trades.
The Chicago-based derivatives marketplace CME Group first launched its futures product back in December 2017, at the same time as its Windy City rival, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). In its announcement on September 20, CME said the launch of bitcoin options is aimed to provide clients with "additional tools for precision hedging and trading." The launch is pending regulatory review.
Based on increasing client demand and robust growth in our Bitcoin futures markets, we believe the launch of options will provide our clients with additional flexibility to trade and hedge their bitcoin price risk. These new products are designed to help institutions and professional traders to manage spot market bitcoin exposure, as well as hedge Bitcoin futures positions in a regulated exchange environment, CME Group global head of equity index and alternative investment products Tim McCourt said.
Since the 2017 launch, it has seen 20 successful futures expiration settlements, with over 3,300 individual accounts trading the contracts. Close to 7,000 CME bitcoin futures contracts are traded on average each day, the company added.
In March 2018, just months after it had started offering futures for bitcoin, CBOE abruptly changed tack and halted the product that left CME as the sole provider of bitcoin futures in the U.S.
However, CME will have a new rival from September 23, when the Intercontinental Exchange and its subsidiary Bakkt begin offering a new futures product. Unlike CME's cash contracts, though, ICE will be offering a physically settled product, meaning customers will receive actual bitcoin instead of the cash equivalent.

Once it makes landfill, Florence is expected to lash coastal communities with 130-mph winds and to dump several feet of water. Flooding could prove devastating. The storm will likely damage homes and businesses, kill crops, drown livestock, wash away cars and suspend much of the area's economic activity.
Still, Florence will almost surely depress auto production in South Carolina, where Volvo already has closed a new factory near Charleston because it's in an area under mandatory evacuation orders, said spokesman Russell Datz. Volvo is co-ordinating with parts suppliers so it will be ready to resume production, according to Datz, who said he wasn't sure how long the plant would be down.

U.S. 5th Circuit Upholds British Petroleum's Fault in Oil Spill
Home/ Law Blog/U.S. 5th Circuit Upholds British Petroleum's Fault in Oil Spill
A panel of federal appeals court judges in New Orleans has refused to reconsider a ruling that BP and Andarko Petroleum Corp. must pay federal fines related to the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil disaster.
BP and Anadarko, co-owners of the failed Macondo oil well, had sought to avoid penalties by blaming another company's failed equipment.
In an opinion issued Wednesday (Nov. 5), a three-judge panel of the U.S. 5th Circuit Court stood by its June ruling that oil from the disaster came from the Macondo well, making BP and Anadarko liable for Clean Water Act violations.
The panel had previously upheld a 2012 decision by U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, who is overseeing the complex oil spill litigation.
BP and Anadarko have each asked the entire 5th Circuit Court to review the ruling.
Barbier is set to determine how much the companies are responsible for paying in Clean Water Act fines at a January trial.
In a September ruling, Barbier said BP's "gross negligence" was mostly to blame for the disaster, meaning the company could see as much as $4,300 in fines for every barrel of oil released, the maximum penalty under the federal Clean Water Act. BP's fines could reach up to $18 billion total.
Barbier also found Halliburton, a contractor on the well, and Transocean, the owner of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, partly responsible, though not grossly negligent.
For the past two years, BP and Anadarko have looked to the 5th Circuit to overturn what they say are misdirected fines.
The companies have argued that it was the failed blowout preventer on the Deepwater Horizon that caused the April 2010 explosion, killing 11 men and sending millions of gallons of oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico.
The rig and the blowout preventer were owned by Transocean, which pleaded guilty last year to a misdemeanor Clean Water Act violation and agreed to pay a $1 billion fine.
BP and Anadarko had argued that while the oil from the disaster came from their Macondo well, it spilled into the ocean from a pipe linking the well and the rig, a pipe owned by Transocean.
The 5th Circuit panel rejected that argument in its June ruling. BP and Anadarko asked the panel to reconsider its decision.
The companies argued that the panel of judges relied on incorrect information that the Macondo well had been sealed with cement prior to the disaster to make its decision. The well was never successfully sealed, which means oil flowed upward and into the ocean through the broken Transocean pipe, they said.
The companies also argued that federal law only applies fines to the owner or operator of the vessel or facility where the oil was discharged. In their view, again, that is Transocean.
In their Wednesday opinion, the judges called the cement seal argument a "red herring" and "immaterial" to its finding. What matters is that the seal did not stop the flow of oil, whether it was successfully put in place or not, they said.
They also clarified that whatever Transocean may have done wrong leading up to the disaster, the Clean Water Act does not allow BP and Anadarko to escape liability.
Oil may have spewed into the Gulf at several points in the drilling system, but it started to go out of control in the well, the judges said. They maintained federal law holds all owners and operators, not a single party, liable in such a case.
BP and Anadarko must now wait to see if the full 5th Circuit Court will decide to review the decision.

You must have heard parrots talking funny. You must have seen them mimicking you? How do parrots talk? How do they manage to reproduce human speech? We have the answers.
Have you tried training a parrot to talk? There are some parrots which can talk. Now, do they understand words like we do, is another question. But some types of parrots do produce sounds that can be interpreted as words and some of them can actually be trained to talk. Do all parrots talk? What parrots talk the best? That's something we will try to answer in this BirdEden article. We will also see how difficult or easy it is to train parrots to talk and what it is that differentiates a parrot's talk from that of other birds.
Birds are intelligent and social in nature. It's in their nature to want to communicate and try to interact with those around. So, it's obvious for birds kept as pets to be able to communicate with the people in the house. When brought home, birds look at you as a part of their social circle and try to communicate with you in their way. In this effort, these birds acquire your language, to at least a small extent and try to talk like you do. Intelligent that they mostly are, birds can mimic you. They can even produce sounds resembling those of other birds. Apart from their urge to communicate, they also find the human sound interesting. Pet birds master the art to reproduce human-like speech, primarily because of their urge to communicate with people and also because our speech catches their attention. How do birds talk? They have a small structure called syrinx located in their throat. The medial tympaniform membranes on the syrinx bring air flow in the throat, leading to production of sound. Birds have multiple air sacs which play a part in causing vibrations of the tympaniform membranes, thus producing sounds.
Similar to how children learn to talk from their parents and people around them, birds too, acquire the ability to speak from their parents or other birds they come in contact with. Studies have shown that birds novice to speech, if kept in the company of talking birds learn to talk easily. In fact, the company of a bird which knows how to talk is perhaps the best way to train a bird to talk. It's not just parrots, even birds like the crow and budgerigars can talk. European starlings can mimic sounds, while others like macaws and hill mynas can also talk. And among parrots, the most prominent ones are the Amazon parrots and the African Greys. The first answer you would get to 'which parrots are the best talkers' is the 'African Grey Parrots'.
Like we saw earlier, it's the syrinx of these birds that causes the production of sound. Parrots do not have vocal cords like we do. The expulsion of air from the trachea leads to production of sound. Parrots change the shape and depth of their trachea to produce different sounds. We call it 'talking' but it is nothing very different from the normal chirping or cooing. The bodily mechanism with which the sound is produced is the same. We call a particular sound as 'talking' because of its distinct quality, i.e. texture, frequency, and tone. It somewhat resembles human speech, which is why we refer to it as the parrot talking. The talking of parrots can be compared to that of kids, who have just begun to speak. Like kids want to mimic what the elders say, even parrots do. They produce sounds similar to human speech in trying to mimic humans and also gain their attention.
How can parrots talk so clearly? And how do they learn to? It will not be an exaggeration to say that parrots talk almost instinctively. A need to communicate is in their nature. They want to interact, they take interest in trying to reproduce the sounds they are exposed to, they want to mimic everything they hear. And that makes parrots talk. Moreover, they are intelligent birds, which is why near-perfect reproduction of sound is not very difficult for them. They have mastered the art of mimicry and that's how parrots talk!
If you have a parrot as your pet, it's up to you to encourage it to talk. (If at all you want to!) You can be the proud owner of a talking parrot if you give it the right training. True, a parrot will begin mimicking you without you telling it to. But it will also expect you to respond positively. Your parrot will want you to teach it different sounds and train it to talk. Basically, it will seek your attention and for that, it will start imitating your words and even your voice! How can parrots talk while other animals cannot? It's in their nature, as I said earlier, and it's also because they are intelligent and social.
Why do parrots talk? Gathering attention is one reason why parrots talk. The second reason is their urge to communicate. Parrots talk to satisfy their social need. And the most important reason is their ability to mimic sounds. Simply put, parrots talk because they can. But, do parrots understand what they say? They remember what they hear and reproduce it, without actually meaning what they say. It's like the kids; they just imitate the words and actions of the elders in the house, without understanding their meaning or context.
Parrots, being clever can associate their words with actions. These feathered friends can be trained to correlate words/sounds and actions. For example, if your parrot has heard you say "Hello" whenever a guest enters, it will also learn to greet your guests with a hello-like sound. Or if it observes that it is being offered food when it makes a certain kind of sound, it is intelligent enough to make that sound, its cry for food! Similarly, you can also train your parrot to say certain things in certain situations. For example, a 'welcome' when someone enters your house, or a 'goodbye' when someone's about to leave. You can even teach your parrot a song! The tune will go for a toss, but it will get the lyrics right! You can teach your parrot to talk by repeating words and phrases you want it to learn and by offering it treats whenever it mimics you. Keeping it in the company of an already talkative bird is also a good way to teach your parrot to talk. Learn more on teaching a parrot how to talk.
If you happen to see parrots talking to each other (wink), don't sit bemused. You know they can talk and you also know how!
What Type of Food Do Parrots Eat?

I had a very good experience purchasing a vehicle at this location. The staff was knowledgeable on the vehicle and was able to answer all questions clearly and professionally. There really was no pressure from the salesperson and I felt comfortable throughout the process. We financed through a bank they found and were able to get a decent rate seeing how the car ... had a few more miles than usual and a 2006 model. The extra warranty they included was 6000 miles or 2 months. I would recommend this dealership to friends, the lot looks like they sell some nice high end cars. I do not think that some people need to understand that these are used vehicles, not Brand New.

I Love Star Trek… I Think I'll Write Some Fan Fiction, And I'll Need Some "Critiques" Before I Publish
These days anyone who watches a favourite show or movie will likely have heard about fan fiction. Simply described, fan fiction takes the characters that you love and puts them in a new situation, not created by the original production team. If you have a favourite movie or show, and you spend time on the Internet, you will find a lot of writing out there. Unfortunately, not all of it is good. We've said it before: not everything you write can and should be published.
There isn't a problem with fan fiction. It has been around for a long time, and most people are simply writing for the love of their show or book.
One of the most popular books ever published if Fifty Shades of Grey. It is intriguing to note that it was originally a fan fiction spin-off the Twilight series. However, that being said, most fan fiction is never published as such; it is published online. A lot of the time it is done with various characters in mind, or even some form of crossover between shows and movies. Most authors know their characters and the plots, but there is a lot of leeway with what one can write about, almost anything goes with this modern fandom.
Although most authors know about their fandom, almost all of them have one thing in common. Authors don't like critiques — or at least bad critiques. There are a few who say that they want to receive some sort of review, but what they really mean is that they want praise. Do not suggest to these writers that they might have made a mistake, or that something went sideways in their plot or character development. Most authors long for a happy ending, and even if all signs in their own writing points otherwise, nothing in a constructive critique will change their minds.
More than a few examples of this can be found online. You simply need to go and look at the comments or author notes where the phrase "'c/c' (constructive critiques) are welcome", and should anyone tell them it doesn't make sense, or it seems that it's not going the way they have said it would go, or that there are a lot of mistakes, many authors will either choose to ignore that commenter or lash out in defence because it is "my writing." The problem is not the commenter but rather the writer. They have written the happy ending for the couple, or even the death of a particular character, but they also want the ego boost of having someone read their work because, with time and attention spans being as limited as they are, most people will not read a lot of books.
Most writers will agree that critiques are needed and fan fiction is not the place to do so. Most of these writers simply want to have work out there, and aren't ready for it to be published anywhere…. or so they say.
When the writer seems to take comments or views to heart and suddenly change their plot, or character, they are after the fans of the fan fiction. They want to do exactly what E.L. James did with her books. In fact James, made that happy ending that almost every fan wants in her own series. What was written for passion or love of a particular show, is destroyed for money.
We are all guilty of not wanting to hear negative critiques of our writing to begin with, but there is only one way to improve what we have created, and that is to accept that others have taken the time to read the work you have done. You can't fix things if you don't want to. It's the challenge of fan fiction, they want to fix something or show gratitude, but they also don't want to be told that the "art" they are doing needs fixing. If they do this, then one day, the ones who want to become published authors will have that chance.

I remember getting a copy of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" about a month before the book came out. I read it, and realized that it was a bit racy to be a Harry Potter book. Yes I was duped by fan fiction that had been passed off as an advanced copy. It was a good mistake though because I have since become a fan of the genre of fan fiction. You hit the nail on the head though. Most of it is not very good, but some of it is treasure especially if the original author has given up on characters that you grew to love 🙂
