Enclosed herewith report on operations 1/2 July for information of G.O.C. 54th Brigade.
Sir - I beg to forward herewith report on the operations carried out by the Battalion under my command on 1/2 July 1916.
In a report of this nature, in order to arrive at a clear understanding of the various incidents that took place, where the advance was held up and where it progressed - it appears advisable to divide the ----- ----- ----- ? Batt'n into right and left attack. The dividing line between the assaulting Coy's can roughly (be drawn) through the triangle and left of Pommiers Redoubt. The right started on Bay Point then swung half right on to Popoff Lane, keeping in touch with the 53rd Brigade. The left was directed on Austrian Junction to a point about 80 yds west of Pommiers Redoubt.
Assaulting Right attack - B Company - under Capt Bull.
Coy's Left attack - C Company - under Capt Clegg.
Supporting Company D Company - under Capt Floyd.
Reserve A Company - under Captain Percival was kept in Battalion Reserve.
support and one in Company Reserve. No 3 Company acted as support to the two leading Coy's - No 4 Coy in Bat'n Reserve.
The first phase waves of each Coy moved in extended order the first ----? in sections. No 3 Coy moved in sections- in Artillery Formation. No 4 Coy moved in Platoons in Artillery Formation.
I would (---?) call attention to the fact that although No's 3 & 4 Coy's moved in what would appear to be close formations, yet their losses while remaining in these formations was extremely small. Their losses really began when called into the final stages of the attack.
As this formation is more mobile and infinitely more under the control of their leaders, it is one that might be adhered to on future occasions and the fact that they are not so vulnerable as would appear at first light, might with advantage be made more widely known.
Touch was maintained from rear to front - The result was good especially as regards the 3rd & 4th Companies - and permitted the leaders of the assaulting Coy's to devote all their attention to the forcing of the enemies position, in addition to -------? the ------? number of rifles in the front waves.
The ---? no possibility of keeping touch with units on right and left -------? with the leaders of the assaulting Coy's.
Attack At 7.28 the Right Attack started to move out. Zero being 7.30. I considered this most necessary - as it had some distance to traverse before reaching the first line German trenches- 2nd ly - in order to get straight on its first line of advance, it had to move half left before the right of the Company could rest on Bay Point- 3rd ly previous to the intense bombardment enemy machine guns had been particularly active and I wished to get the men through our wire whilst this bombardment continued. 4th ly it seemed of vital necessity not to run any risk of being late for the pre arranged barrage up to Pommiers Redoubt.
As the machine gun fire - even on cessation of intense bombardment, was still very galling- The waves hurried through the gaps in the wire and doubled down the slope - it was on the gaps and the top of the slope that the machine gun fire was principally directed - There was practically none at foot of slope.
Here the right attack formed up in deliberate fashion - making absolutely certain of its true line of advance. It then advanced as if on parade, the waves were perfectly dressed - intervals and distances as it seemed to me from our trenches - kept extraordinarily well.
The machine gun fire still continued - very active and casualties were sent to rear before Austrian Trench was reached, but the waves still continued on their way, seemingly without a check.
Between the Austrian Trench and Emden Trench the Company was practically leaderless as regards officers - all having been either killed or wounded - There was practically no opposition except from machine gun fire - This principally came well away from our right flank. Which from the early commencement of the fight, was most exposed owing to the Battalion of the 53rd Brigade on our right, being unable to advance at the same rapid rate as our right attack. Severe machine gun fire seemed to come from Popoff Lane which did considerable ----------? It was not until reaching the ground between Bund and Pommiers Trench that a real check occurred - here the wire in front of Pommiers was not cut and a mixed party of the right attack, with men of the Berkshire Rgt, proceeded to cut the wire in a most methodical way. In the words of Capt Bull, in a letter to me, " the 1/2 hour outside that trench will be a nightmare for years to come and this was our expensive time - there were about 20 Berkshire and about the same number of my lot - were splendid - the way they cut the wire just as if there was nothing doing"
The Comp Serg Major of the right attack states that the German front line where he crossed it was filled with barbed wire and spiked stakes - From previous reports it would appear as if the Germans hold only parts of the front line - and those parts are defended with machine guns only.


HBO's Sharp Objects: Grade It!
There is a very short list of things that Camille Preaker enjoys: Tiny bottles of alcohol. Candy bars. Cigarettes. More tiny bottles of alcohol.
Her hometown of Wind Gap, Missouri? Doesn't make the cut. For Camille, Wind Gap is full of terrible memories — a fraught relationship with her cold mother, unsettling encounters with teenage boys down by the lake and, most traumatizing of all, the puzzling death of her younger sister, Marian.
But in Sunday's premiere of Sharp Objects — HBO's limited-series adaptation of Gillian Flynn's novel — Camille (played by Oscar nominee Amy Adams) is forced to go back to Wind Gap after a young woman goes missing there, one year after another girl in the town was strangled to death. Camille, now a reporter at a St. Louis newspaper, is assigned to cover Wind Gap's latest disappearance, which means having a reluctant reunion with her hometown and the distressing memories she's been trying to suppress.
It's immediately clear that there are plenty of reasons for Camille to dislike Wind Gap, and before the series premiere ends, another one gets added to the list: Natalie Keene's body is found in an alley, posed uncomfortably on a window ledge, and Camille is a witness to the grisly scene. Throughout the debut hour, Camille had already been having disturbing flashbacks to her childhood — including the night her little sister suddenly died — and the sight of Natalie's corpse seems to stir up even more unsavory memories for Camille.
Later that night, Camille returns home and draws herself a bath — and when she gets into the water, we get a closer look at her skin, which is covered, head to toe, in scars from her cutting habit. They aren't just lines, though; they're words. Earlier in the episode, we had caught a glimpse of Camille's office desk, which also had words carved into it, as does her car, which has the word "dirty" written in the dust on the hood.
OK, your turn. What did you think of Sharp Objects' first episode? Grade the premiere in our poll below, then hit the comments to back up your choice!

Hi, I'd like to import both a VO narration sound file AND have music playing. Is that possible with Videoscribe?
Yes, the music notes icon is for adding music and the microphone icon is for adding a voiceover.
Voiceovers can either be recorded in videoscribe using a real microphone attached to your computer or they can (preferably) be recorded in a third-party audio program and then imported in MP3 format.
music can be added from the videoscribe music library or imported in mp3 format.
Thanks Mike—did not realize there were two separate options there, my bad.
Is there any way to "duck" the audio for the VO, or a way to time chunks of VO to different parts of the timeline? I guess the option is to output a movie without audio, then do more complex audio editing in an external video editor such as Final Cut?
Yes, you would currently have to either pre-edit the audio and time the scribe to match it, or output the movie and edit the audio in an external editor such as final cut.

Jennifer Lawrence's Family Farm Suffers 'Horrible' Fire, Brother Details All That Was Lost
Dirk Libbey
Published: Nov. 30. 2020 9:42 AM
The family of Oscar winning actress Jennifer Lawrence has experienced a massive tragedy at the family farm, home to a summer camp in Kentucky. Camp Hi Ho, in Simpsonville was the victim of a massive fire over the weekend. It destroyed large portions of the camp, but Lawrence's brother, Blaine, who was the owner and manger of the camp has promised to rebuild, though he is asking for help to do so.
The fire took place on the evening of November 27 and according to TMZ, the primary loss at the camp was the main barn. However, that barn was a multi-purpose location, which included both office space and a personal apartment used by the family. It also included a lot of camp space, including horse stalls, an indoor riding area, a rock wall for climbing, a wildlife display, and arts and crafts space, farm equipment, and a nurse's station. The cause of the fire is currently unknown but is under investigation.
While the loss of the barn certainly meant a major loss for the summer camp, there's still a lot that remained intact, including sports fields, outdoor riding trails, a lake, and more. In addition, no humans or animals were lost in the fire, which is a wonderful thing to hear.

Despite the losses, the hope is that Camp Hi Ho will be able to open for the summer of 2021. To that end, he's asking for donations, as well as income from signups for next summer's camp, which can be put toward rebuilding what was lost.
On the camp's Facebook page where the fire is conformed, dozens of well wishes are posted from families that attend, or used to attend, Camp Hi Ho. It certainly seems to have been well loved, and the events that the lost barn hosted were especially precious. However, with enough support the barn can certainly be rebuilt, and perhaps it can be done even better than ever.
A handful of photos have shown Jennifer Lawrence herself at the summer camp, so she wasn't a complete stranger around the place, which appears to have been in the Lawrence family for quite some time. Perhaps the actress will lend some of her star power to the building effort in an attempt to draw attention to the fundraising.
It's certainly heartbreaking to hear of such a major loss. Especially one that isn't just a loss for the owners of the summer camp, but all the kids who visit it every year and find joy in the sorts of activities many might not otherwise have a chance to be part of. Hopefully, the rebuilding effort can start quickly and everything will be back to normal, or perhaps even better than before, when Camp Hi Ho opens for kids next summer.

Bleak picture painted for Tulare's financial future
Andrew Bettencourt
For the Times-Delta
Tulare finance director Darlene Thompson presented the Tulare City Council a five-year budget forecast on Tuesday, and the outlook is rather bleak.
Officials are forecasting five straight years of significant budget deficits.
The most pressing issue is that the budget for the 2018-19 fiscal year — which begins July 1 — is staring at a projected operating deficit of more than $1.5 million.
That's not the only bad news.
The projected budget deficit swells to over $2 million in each of the following four fiscal years — $2.2 million (2019-20), $2.3 million (2020-21), $2.5 million (2021-22) and $2.6 million (2022-23).
The culprit behind the city's budget woes is lackluster projections for sales tax revenue.
Last week during the state of the city address, Mayor Carlton Jones applauded the city's financial stability.
"Numbers don't lie," he said. "If you look at where we were in 2016, we are definitely growing and trending in the right direction."
At Tuesday's meeting, council members changed their tune.
Councilman David Macedo said that Thompson's budget forecast was the most problematic he's seen. The councilman is in his fifth term on the city council.
"The numbers keep rolling backward. We are losing sales tax revenue to internet sales," Macedo said.
Thompson said the projected budget deficits are the largest she's seen in her 15 years as the city's finance director.
"I'm not willing to accept this (2018-19) budget," Vice Mayor Maritsa Castellanoz said during the meeting.
The primary concern in trying to find solutions to Tulare's budget woes is generating a consensus with the five-person council.
Castellanoz made it clear that she favors cutting job positions over city services.
Jones and Councilman Greg Nunley were not fans of the notion of using the city's reserve funds to finance the deficit.
Macedo noted that the city may have to reinvent the wheel a bit when it comes to revenue.
"We've got to work on our revenue sources," Macedo said during the meeting.
One proposal from the city administration for increasing city revenue was applying fire inspection fees to Tulare businesses. Currently, Tulare doesn't charge for fire inspections, a business-friendly practice that is common in the Tulare and Kings counties area.
However, Tulare has in its policy that if it were to apply fees for fire inspections, it would charge $350 for an initial fire inspection.
The budget forecast included that revenue could increase by $300,000 for the 2018-19 fiscal year if it started to apply fire inspection fees.
The notion of charging $350 for a fire inspection didn't have any apparent support from the city council.
But there wasn't an obvious direction on what the city council will do in order to solve the budget shortages.
Macedo wanted to see city officials trim the deficit in half through spending cuts and new revenue sources and then look at using the city's reserves to erase the deficit (projected to be nearly $770,000 in that scenario).
Councilman Jose Sigala proposed cutting spending by 25 percent and using the city's reserves to finance the remaining amount (projected to be nearly $1.15 million).
"We're going in five different directions here," Sigala said.
Jones and Sigala exchanged some verbal jabs on what step the council should take next.
Sigala proposed to employ Macedo's suggestion — 50 percent spending cuts/increased revenue, 50 percent financing through the city's reserves — as the direction for Thompson to use in making adjustments to her forecast.
Jones did not want to commit to using the city's reserve funds.
The council did come to an agreement that it wanted a budget forecast from Thompson for the June 5 city council meeting that included cutting the deficit by half — at a minimum — through spending cuts or new revenue sources.
According to Thompson, Tulare has $16 million in general fund reserves. If the city chose to use its reserves to finance all of the shortages in the budget, the reserves would dwindle to less than $5 million in five years.

Background: Stably transfected lung epithelial reporter cell lines pose an advantageous alternative to replace complex experimental techniques to monitor the pro-inflammatory response following nanoparticle (NP) exposure. Previously, reporter cell lines have been used under submerged culture conditions, however, their potential usefulness in combination with air-liquid interface (ALI) exposures is currently unknown. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to compare a panel of interleukin-8 promoter (pIL8)-reporter cell lines (i.e. green or red fluorescent protein (GFP, RFP), and luciferase (Luc)), originating from A549 lung epithelial type II-like cells cells, following NPs exposure under both submerged and ALI conditions.
Methods: All cell lines were exposed to zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs at 0.6 and 6.2 μg/cm2 for 3 and 16 hours under both submerged and ALI conditions. Following physicochemical characterization, the cytotoxic profile of the ZnO-NPs was determined for each exposure scenario. Expression of IL-8 from all cell types was analyzed at the promoter level and compared to the mRNA (qRT-PCR) and protein level (ELISA).
Results: In summary, each reporter cell line detected acute pro-inflammatory effects following ZnO exposure under each condition tested. The pIL8-Luc cell line was the most sensitive in terms of reporter signal strength and onset velocity following TNF-α treatment. Both pIL8-GFP and pIL8-RFP also showed a marked signal induction in response to TNF-α, although only after 16 hrs. In terms of ZnO-NP-induced cytotoxicity pIL8-RFP cells were the most affected, whilst the pIL8-Luc were found the least responsive.
Conclusions: In conclusion, the use of fluorescence-based reporter cell lines can provide a useful tool in screening the pro-inflammatory response following NP exposure in both submerged and ALI cell cultures.

Q: How to manage viewmodel I have an activity that has a view model. When I call 2 methods of that view model first execute second method. Why?
How can I manage that methods?
This is onCreate of the activity:
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_news_letter);

    dbViewModel = new ViewModelProvider(this).get(DBViewModel.class);

    dbViewModel.getLastUpdate().observe(this, s -> {
        SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS");
        try {
            Date date = format.parse(s);
            timeStamp = (int)date.getTime() / 1000;
            getAllNews(BaseCodeClass.CompanyID, timeStamp);
        } catch (ParseException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    });

    dbViewModel.getAllNews().observe(this, newsLetters ->
    {
        Toast.makeText(this, "3", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    });

}

In this method first dbViewModel.getAllNews() is executed then dbViewModel.getLastUpdate()

A: When you observe a LiveData, it will call the onChanged method on its observers when the data is ready or when the data changes. When you observe two or more LiveDatas in a certain order, it doesn't mean that the observers will be called in that order as well. It will happen sometime when the data is ready. That's exactly the behavior of observable fields like LiveData.
If you want to read those values in that exact order and only once, you can call getValue() and get the value right away instead of observing them:
String s = dbViewModel.getLastUpdate().getValue();
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS");
try {
    Date date = format.parse(s);
    timeStamp = (int)date.getTime() / 1000;
    getAllNews(BaseCodeClass.CompanyID, timeStamp);
} catch (ParseException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

var newsLetters = dbViewModel.getAllNews().getValue();
Toast.makeText(this, "3", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

Those values will be read in that order, but they won't be called again if the LiveData values change.

Q: Is there a way to add hooks in VSCode actions? Is there a way to add hooks in some particular action of that editor?
For example:
When I start a terminal, executes a script (preferably bashscript like git does).
When I kill a terminal execute another bashscript file (hook).
PS.: I don't want to develop a new extension, I'm looking for something more simple like a configuration of the editor. Public extensions are accepted as answer if does a similar feature but I didn't found out one that does it. Maybe that question can be a suggestion for a new feature.

As I was walking into work today I started thinking about my mom and dad. First of all, I have amazing parents. My mom is the kind of mom I strive to be to my young children. I feel very lucky to have been raised in such a loving and caring way and look back fondly at the photos of Matt and I, half naked and covered in paint swipes as we sat outside somewhere with paint brushes and large cardboard boxes "decorated" with our own creative vision. My dad always treated us with respect and as though we were equals. Don't get me wrong, he was DAD when he needed to be, but he chose to use that power for good, rather than evil.
I have a couple of memories that freeze in my mind at certain times and for me, they paint who my parents are. There is a photo of my mother, from before I was even born, with her long hair and shy smile. I see the young woman my dad originally fell in love with in that photo and while I think I only saw it once, it's stays with me. Another shows us with heads close together as I point at something in the distance and my mom is watching me discover my world, this amazing look on her face of love and pride. I see her on our couch, laying down for "just ten minutes" after a long day at work, followed by school, followed by coming home to teens who didn't appreciate her. My mom got her Masters while working full time and raising us alone and I know it was HARD.
My favorite image of my dad is from those days following my parents divorce when he would pick us up for Wednesday night dinner. He used to take us to Round table Pizza and one night "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones came over the juke box. I see him wagging his head back and forth and pounding his fists on the table, singing the words. I should have been embarrassed (I was a teen, after all) but instead I saw him as this guy… not my dad, but a guy who loved the Stones and loved pizza and well, loved his kids. Sometimes I see him as the man I once walked in on as he cried in his bedroom, and am still amazed that he let me sit and talk with him rather than chasing me out of the room because of some inflated sense of pride.
My parents are good people and I love them deeply, despite any flaws they think they have or I think they have. I make fun of them both, here and elsewhere and sometimes choose to vent my frustrations at them, but that doesn't mean I don't love and respect them. I know how CRAZY some families are and feel very lucky that at my core, I have two parents that love me madly. I like who they are and who they have helped me become.
From my mom I get the unique talent of reading into what people say. We both do it and neither one of us likes to admit it. She says, "Oh my" and I read into it a whole speech about indecency and decide I know what she thinks of me. I say how I feel about something and she decides that I am making a direct comment against her. Why do we do this to those we love? I don't know.
Of all the posts I have written, I just hope my mom reads this one. Because she thinks I don't want her at the birth of our next child. She thinks I'm banning her because I've asked her to be with my daughter. She doesn't realize how deeply I need to know that Lily is cared for and how passionately I feel that she is the only one who I can trust for such a task. I thought I explained it to her, but I don't think she believes me. I think she believes I made all that up to make her feel useful. I need her to know she is wrong. I need her to know that I need her. I just need her in a different way than I needed her when Lily was born and I am sad that she thinks this need is less. It's time for us to actually talk to each other rather than make little comments and then decide what the other is saying. Now I just have to figure out how to do it without turning into an obnoxious teenager.

Congratulations Dr. Julius and Dr. Patapoutian Nobel Prize Winners for Physiology 2021
Congratulations to Dr. David Julius and Dr. Ardem Patapoutian for winning the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with their groundbreaking research that solved a long-standing mystery of how the body senses touch and other mechanical stimuli!
The Nobel Prize committee cited the discoveries by Patapoutian and his colleagues of two ion channels, PIEZO1 and PIEZO2, that are necessary for the cells to respond to mechanical stimuli. Patapoutian says he had originally set out to investigate a fundamental question, how pressure and touch are perceived. But simple questions led to very complex discoveries, which continue today.
It turns out those mechanical pressure sensors control a wide array of biological needs, going far beyond the pain of a pinch or the pleasure of a caress, and extending to how one cell communicates with another, how we sense our body in time and space, how our organs move, and more.
"Mechanosensation is how cells talk to each other by force," Patapoutian says. "We didn't know the importance of pressure sensors to the body until we first found them. Blood pressure – hypertension is affected, as well as bladder fullness. We talk about a key that unlocks a door that opens to a room. These receptors are the key to the door of understanding biology and disease."
The research has produced much that was unexpected. For example, Piezo1 is expressed in red blood cells and immune cells and may be involved in protection from malaria as well as affecting the amount of iron in blood, he says. Ion channels act as gates in a nerve cell's outer membrane, letting electrically charged ions in or out, in the process, changing the neuron's electrical state.
The exploration of PIEZOs continues. They may be involved in tracking how much the stomach stretches during a meal, and how much food passes through the intestines during digestion. They appear to be involved in neuropathic pain, too.
"The breakthrough by Patapoutian led to a series of papers from his and other groups, demonstrating that the Piezo2 ion channel is essential for the sense of touch," the Nobel committee wrote. "Moreover, Piezo2 was shown to play a key role in the critically important sensing of body position and motion, known as proprioception."
Dr. David Julius and his lab at UCSF have been long time users of Flexcell Tension Systems. A biochemist and molecular biologist, Julius's work has focused on how our bodies sense heat, cold, and chemical irritants, leading to new insights about the fundamental nature of pain and new targets for pain therapy.
To understand how signals responsible for temperature and pain sensation are transmitted by neural circuits to the brain, Julius and his UCSF laboratory have taken advantage of a variety of noxious substances produced by animals and plants – including toxins from tarantulas and coral snakes; capsaicin, the molecule that produces the "heat" in chili peppers; and the chemicals underlying the pungency of horseradish and wasabi.
Julius' work revealed that TRPV1, a specialized ion channel located at the outer tips of sensory nerves, responds both to the capsaicin in "hot" peppers and to temperatures greater than 110 degrees Fahrenheit, both of which are transmitted to the brain as a sense of heat. TRPV1 also contributes to the hypersensitivity to heat felt in injured tissue, such as sunburned skin, where mild stimuli can be perceived by the brain as burning hot.
A similar approach enabled Julius and his team to identify and study distinct TRP channels responsible for other types of sensation. Just as capsaicin revealed that TRPV1 allows sensory nerve cells to respond to heat, in 2002 Julius' lab used menthol from mint and related compounds to identify a distinct channel called TRPM8 that responds to cold temperatures. A third TRP channel, TRPA1, responds to the pungent compounds that give wasabi its punch and is also involved in inflammatory pain. In recent years, Julius has turned his attention to better understanding the structure of TRPV1 and related molecules in hopes that this information could drive the design of new pain drugs.

Do you sometimes want unbiased advice on solving a problem? Do you also want to rely more on your intuition and grow while dealing with challenging situations? Tarot can be daunting, and the answers can be ambiguous when they come from someone else.
This book helps you find your own answers using your own inner wisdom in a structured way.
By far the best book on the Tarot that I've heard/read yet. So insightful and inspiring. I've listened to 4 other Tarot books from Audible since I became interested in the topic a few months ago as well as reading many books but Elsabe's book brought the Tarot to life for me. Also, when I started drawing cards for myself, I was most often confused by the meanings because I was looking in the books. But when I listened to this audio book, everything suddenly made perfect sense.
The author's exotic accent lent a bit of mystery and fun to the experience.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced that it plans to repeal the Obama-era net neutrality rules that required internet service providers (ISPs) treat all web traffic equally.
Ajit Pai, the Republican chairman of the FCC, revealed a plan that would, as the Washington Post summarized, "give Internet providers broad powers to determine what websites and online services their customers can see and use, and at what cost."
"Today, I have shared with my colleagues a draft order that would abandon this failed approach and return to the longstanding consensus that served consumers well for decades," Pai said in a statement.
Pai added: "Instead, the FCC would simply require [ISPs] to be transparent about their practices so that consumers can buy the service plan that's best for them and entrepreneurs and other small businesses can have the technical information they need to innovate."
ISPs clicked "Like" on the FCC announcement.
"We're very encouraged by Chairman Pai's announcement today that the FCC will move forward next month to restore the successful light-touch regulatory framework for internet services," Verizon said in a statement.
Internet companies, however, were quick to give a downvote.
"The FCC's net neutrality rules are working well for consumers and we're disappointed in the proposal released today," Google said in a statement.
Tom Wheeler, the former Democratic FCC chairman who drafted the initial 2015 net neutrality rules, called the move "tragic."
"The job of the FCC is to represent the consumer," Wheeler said in an interview with the Post.
"If you like your cable company, you'll love what this does for the Internet, because it gives Internet service providers the same kind of control over content and price as cable operators have today."
The FCC's decision will be put to a vote at the agency's December 14 meeting. With the GOP controlling three of the commission's five seats, the net neutrality rollback is expected to pass. Pai said he'll release a full text of his plan to the public on Wednesday.
Do you agree with Pai's plan for the government to "stop micromanaging the Internet"? Or, like Google, are you "disappointed in the proposal released today"? Hit Take Action and tell your reps — then contact Pai directly.

UPDATE: Anchorage company wins contract to repair Ketchikan dock damaged by cruise ship
More from News of the North
Friday, June 3rd, 2016 8:01pm
An Anchorage company has been selected to repair a Ketchikan dock damaged last week by a cruise ship. See video of incident in this story.
KETCHIKAN, Alaska (AP) — An Anchorage company has been selected to repair a Ketchikan dock damaged last week by a cruise ship.
Turnagain Marine Construction was awarded the $928,000 contract for repairs at Berth 3, which was left unusable after Friday's accident. The Ketchikan Daily News reports the cruise ship Celebrity Infinity scraped along part of the berth when it attempted to dock Friday afternoon. One of the catwalks broke off, and punctured the ship's hull above the water line.
The Infinity is a 965-foot, 91,000-ton ship that can hold 2,170 passengers.
Ketchikan City Manager Karl Amylon says an inspection revealed most of the damage to the dock was above water.
Finance Director Bob Newell said the city's insurance company will cover the repair cost and submit a claim to the cruise line's insurance company.
Repairs should be completed by July 5.
ORIGINAL STORY: POSTED FRIDAY JUNE 3RD
A cruise ship slammed into the dock in Ketchikan Friday.
Nicole Colby reports from the Ketchikan Radio Center:
Listen to this audio
"The cruise ship Celebrity Infinity remained in Ketchikan Friday afternoon after the ship apparently struck the city's Berth 3 upon it's arrival around 2:00 p.m., in high winds, resulting in significant damage to the berth. The ship suffered damage on its side above the waterline and near the bow, according to witnesses on scene. The ship was being shifted to Berth 2 Friday afternoon to allow passengers to disembark, according to both witnesses on scene and to U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Diana Robinson of Sector Juneau. The ship was scheduled for a 2:00 p.m. arrival. Witnesses report seeing welding occurring near the damaged area. The Coast Guard reports the incident did not cause any injuries. However, according to Robinson, it is possible that damage to Berth 3 may result to it being unusable for an extended period of time."
Ketchikan Ports & Harbors Director Steve Corporon confirmed Friday afternoon in an interview with Ketchikan Radio Center that the damage to Ketchikan's Berth 3 appears considerable, with preliminary estimates from $2 to $3 million pending further engineering analysis and a detailed assessment over the next several days. The site was not sufficiently safe Friday for detailed inspection. According to Corporon, the situation very likely leaves Ketchikan at its pre-2007 status of being able to accommodate three large ships, with additional ships on heavy days having to anchor out and lighter passengers in to the area behind Sockeye Sams.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting Lamont Wesleyan Church in Lamont, Kansas, and their second church in Burlington, Kansas. Don't ask me where they are–I just know they're not near the airport. I really had a great time visiting with the groups that have already gone to Haiti with TEM, also the new ones that will be joining us in June. Jola Casey and Jan Kraft, who invited me to visit, have been to Haiti many times. They feel that they have a calling to help the women of the village of Z'Orange; there is no doubt they have a passion for the people there.
I would especially like to thank Pastor Steve, Ryan, Mark, and the other leaders of the church for such a warm welcome. I can't say this about every church, but I could feel the Holy Spirit in both of these churches. My thanks also to both congregations for making me feel so welcome.

June 2010 News ›
Budget 2010: VAT
Chancellor George Osborne has unveiled his emergency budget, and as suspected VAT has seen a rise.
In a bid to reduce Britain's huge debt, Chancellor Osborne has detailed the key measures that he hopes will help Britain claw its way back out of the financial doldrums within the next five years. Unfortunately this means austerity measures and one of the main points of interest is the rise in VAT, going up to 20 percent from 17.5 percent.
When the VAT increase was announced it led to cries of dismay in the House of Commons, however Chancellor Osborne said "The years of debt and spending make this unavoidable".
It's thought that the VAT increase will help raise an extra £13.4 billion per year, something that Mr Osborne highlighted would have to come from somewhere else if not VAT- "That is £13 billion we don't have to find from extra spending cuts or income tax rises" he said.
However the increase will not come into effect until January 2011, giving consumers and retailers alike the chance to ready themselves. The increase will raise the price of hundreds of day-to-day items and experts have calculated that it could cost households £517 extra per year.
Despite a volley of criticism some people feel that the VAT increase may not be as harsh as suspected: "This tax could raise an extra £13 billion in a year and it is not as socially debilitating as Labour would have us believe. After all, the wealthier will spend the most and buy the most goods" said David Buick of BCG Partners.


I was very inspired by Steve making awesome things! I have made some things myself as a result of all this inspiration. I really like listing all the bits but highlighting the one we're on, and playing with typography. My ideas all revolve around a different back for each theme (but visually linked in some way – i used colour…).
I've had various ideas about the backs of the Print Edition cards, and I'd like to throw them at the gang for feedback.


Microsoft has bought Mojang – the Swedish firm behind the hit game Minecraft – for $2.5bn.
However the man most associated with the title - Markus Persson (aka Notch) – has announced that he is to leave the firm once the deal is complete.
In a statement on Microsoft's website, head of Xbox Phil Spencer said Minecraft would continue to be available on non-Microsoft platforms, including Sony's Playstation, Apple's iOS and Google's Android.
He also said the firm would respect the "brand and independent spirit that has made Minecraft great", while also allowing it to better tap in to Microsoft services like Xbox Live.
Minecraft has around 100m users, and has developed a loyal community of fans and followers.
But the game will have to continue without its founder Notch, who plans to leave once Microsoft has taken control.
In a post on his website, he said he did not see himself as a games developer or entrepreneur and had decided to focus on his game-making competition Ludum Dares and "small web experiments".


Dr. Piasecki is board certified in facial plastic surgery and plastic surgery and specializes in facial cosmetic procedures. He is well known for facial cosmetic surgeries that make patients look well-rested and rejuvenated. Patients report friends telling them they look healthy and happy, not asking where they had their surgery done.
Many patients travel from all over to have surgery performed by Dr. Piasecki. If you are from out of the area and are interested in a facial procedure by Dr. Piasecki, please complete the Out of Area Consult Form and fax to 888-843-2412. Dr. Piasecki can correspond with you via email and phone for an initial consultation. If you are interest in a procedure, our patient care coordinator can assist with travel arrangements and post operative care.
Dr. Piasecki offers a variety of plastic surgery procedures for the face. A selection of the most common procedures is described in detail on this website. The best way to determine what would help you reach your goals is to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Piasecki.
The position of the eyebrows contributes greatly to the cosmetic appearance of the eyes and face as a whole. Gravity and age cause the brows to drop with time, creating a heavy, tired and aged appearance. Addressing the eyelids without regard for the brows can incompletely correct the periorbital area and does not improve the appearance of the eyelids.
The browlift can be performed through incisions in the scalp, the hairline or through the same incision made for eyelid surgery. (blepharoplasty). In some cases a fiberoptic scope is used to facilitate the operation. Which approach is performed depends on the needs of the patient, and Dr. Piasecki will thoroughly discuss his recommendations with you.
Final result: Appearance will improve for several months following surgery, but the most dramatic results are visible in the first 2 to 3 weeks.
Surgery of the ear, also known as otoplasty, is a procedure that helps reduce protrusion of the ear away from the head. This ear surgery is most often performed on children between the ages of 7 to 14. Ears that "stick out" can be the source of teasing and ridicule in young children, with a devastating effect on the child's psyche.
Cosmetic procedures are also available for adults with large ears or congenital birth irregularities that detract from their appearance. Individuals may also have abnormal ears because of their genetic makeup, or accidental injury such as losing an ear or part of an ear.
Otoplasty begins with an incision hidden in the crease behind the ear. This allows the cartilage located behind the ears to be reshaped, in order to position the ears closer to the head. There are numerous surgical techniques involved in correcting ear irregularities other than protruding ears. These techniques can be discussed with Dr. Piasecki during the initial consultation.
Final result: Swelling will be minimized and final results visible 1 to 2 weeks following surgery.
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is a set of popular procedures used to either correct nose-related breathing problems or to reshape the nose for cosmetic reasons. It can help relieve some breathing problems, correct birth defects, reduce or increase the size of the nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge of the nose, narrow the span of the nostrils or change the angle between the nose and the upper lip.
To begin the surgery, tiny incisions are made allowing the surgeon to access the underlying nasal structure. Once the skin is opened, the cartilage and bone are reshaped to form the basis for the new look. Two basic methods are utilized for performing nose surgery: the 'open' and the 'closed' techniques. The open technique allows maximum visibility and control over the procedure. The incision used in the open technique is placed in between the nostrils on the columella or the medial nostril strip. In the closed technique, the incisions are internal and heal faster, however there is less surgical control over the outcome. Dr. Piasecki can discuss the techniques during the initial consultation.
Final result: Swelling will be minimized and results visible 1 to 2 weeks following surgery, although appearance will improve for several months.
One of the most notable human features are the eyes, but during the aging process wrinkles, lines and puffiness can contribute to a tired or aged appearance. Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is a corrective procedure that removes excess wrinkles and provides a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance to the eyes. The blepharoplasty surgery is often performed in conjunction with other facial procedures such as a facelift or rhinoplasty (nose surgery).
The surgical procedure includes tiny incisions made in the natural contours of the eyelids, which should leave no visible scarring. The upper eyelids are usually operated on first to remove excess skin and fat, then the lower eyelids are completed to eliminate puffiness and improve dark circles. In some instances, laser technology may be used to smooth lower eyelid areas.
The sun's radiation, stress, gravity and other factors cause the skin to sag and fit more loosely over time. Areas of the face and neck, particularly around the jaw line, are especially susceptible to the aging process. Though these changes are gradual, wrinkles and other signs of aging can make individuals "feel older" than they really are. A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to smooth and firm the skin, providing a fresh, youthful appearance.
The standard procedure for a facelift involves making small incisions along a normal crease in front of the ear and just inside the hairline, continuing to the backside of the ear and to the lower scalp. Tissue and fat deposits are separated, the skin is tightened and excess tissue is removed. If the neckline requires attention, an additional incision is made under the chin and the same procedure is again followed. Minuscule stitches are used to close the incisions and to reduce any chance of scarring. There are several different facelift techniques that can be employed. Patients can discuss these methods with Dr. Piasecki during their consultation.
Final result: Permanent scars will result from the incisions, but will be carefully placed to minimize visibility and should be difficult to see.
The face lift can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as: Blepharoplasty, Liposuction of the neck, Midface lift.

I just did an Erase and Install of Tiger, and it's working great. But I am yet to find a way how to get my pre-loaded apps that came with my iBook on to my computer again! I found directions for 10.3 and 10.3.1, and 10.3.4 through 10.3.7, but I can't find anything on 10.3.3, which is the version my iBook came with! I'm trying to get Quicken 2004 off of it...can someone PLEASE help?
Search the forums. This has been discussed many times. Search for threads talking about Pacifist.
Try using the restore / application CDs that came with your iBook. You should be able to pull the apps or installers you need off of them.
I did an Erase and Install...Pacifist doesn't help in this instance, as it opens a .pkg (package) file, which I wouldn't have on my computer if I erased the hard drive.
Read my first thread...I'm asking HOW to do this!
Duff-Man says...put in the disk (the dvd, or if cd's, the one labelled "install disc 1) that came with your computer - there is probably an icon in the window that auto-opens that is labelled "Install bundled software only"....oh yeah!
Duff-Man says...does it not then present you with a list of choices of what you want to install? Oh, wait...in one of the first screens, you should see a "customize" button I think (I am going by my G5 discs so yours may be different) ....from there you should be able to pick which apps it installs. The other option is to grab a copy of "Pacifist" (search at versiontracker.com for it) which will let you extract individual install packages from your restore disks....oh yeah!
Classic is on disc 3. Bundled apps are on disc 1.
I finally figured it out. The only thing was that I wasn't able to JUST choose Quicken...I had to install a bunch of other apps too (EarthLink, AppleWorks to name a few). I got rid of all those immediately, but I noticed it downgraded my GarageBand to version 1. Spotlight definitely came in handy here! After several installs and deleting everything with "GarageBand" in it, I finally got it to version 2 again. What a hassle just for a program I open every few weeks. Apple should make this easier!
If anyone runs into the same problem, feel free to ask for help!


The purpose of the article is to assess a state and identify ways for further formation and development of village settlement network and united territorial communities. Research methods. In the research process were used the following scientific methods: dialectical methods of knowledge of processes and phenomena; monographic for social infrastructure analysis; empirical for complex evaluation of the current state of the research object; comparative analysis for identifying problems and causes for differences in the dynamic development of rural settlement networks; abstract and logical for theoretical generalizations and formulation of conclusions. Research results. In the process of studying and analysing of formation and development of village settlement network and united territorial communities, an essence of current state of village settlement network, processes of power decentralization, creation of united territorial communities and their role in rural development were disclosed. There were defined important factors that have significant impact on the livelihoods of rural UTC. Elements of scientific novelty. There were further developed theoretical and practical provisions regarding formation and development of rural settlement network in terms of power decentralization, creation and functioning of united territorial communities. It was determined that one of the perspective directions of development of village settlement network is creation of new socio-economic formations, namely communal enterprises and agglomerations. Practical significance. Reasons for slow development of village settlement network were determined, and specific directions and measures for elimination of shortcomings and deficiencies by means of power decentralization and creation of UTC with active state support were proposed.

The brother noticed the remark aimed at him. "Apologies, we should make off this way. We have quite the walk before us." He made a start through the woods. "The sooner we move, the faster we will make it to the city. But please try to contain yourselves. We certainly do not need too much funny business." As the path wasn't terribly well maintained, the monk showed all the sure-footedness of a toddler when traversing obstacles greater than a few rocks.
"If you don't mind my mentioning, you all seem to be very... odd together. Do you all just have tasks in the same direction or does your business have you relying on one another?" He stopped to think about what he said for a moment before going on again. "Other than slaying monsters, of course."

"I think slaying monsters just about sums it up. And treasure hunting." Dee said, hopping over a bush in his path. "One more group out here looking for the Shifters Soul. Though I'm kind of surprised that we haven't bumped into others..."
After a moment he shrugged. One less thing for them to worry about, he supposed.
The rain was starting to lessen, the storm blowing past and breaking up the stubborn clouds. Morning sunlight lightened their path, and high above could be spotted the silhouette of their feathery guide. As they watched, the long form glided down and settled at the top of the rise they were climbing, wings brushing the treetops.

Taryn scooped Lydia up and placed her on her abdomen, with the child's legs around her human waist in what would have been a piggy-back style carry, had the spiderling had a human figure. As it was, it looked a little more like riding on the back of a centaur. Lydia sat on the furry arachnid half of the spider, holding on to the human half of her with her arms and legs. It was a comfortable seat, and Lydia giggled from her new perch.
Angel stayed close by, trying to stay out of range of the spiderling's furry legs. He hadn't forgotten his last encounter with Taryn and recalled it being a little too close for comfort, even if the spiderling had been trying to help him instead of hurt him. But he wasn't frightened enough to abandon his sister in the spider's clutches. So together the little trio followed Dee up the mountain.

Aengus was happy to be moving again, though still a bit hungry. Maybe they should have eaten that Bunyip egg stew, even if that would remove the option for later. Oh well. No time to worry about that now. Better to stay alert, lest yet another terrible beastie get the jump on them. Honestly, he hadn't been expecting to face this much hostility out in the middle of nowhere. In a large city, maybe, especially if they had a port, or even a single harbor, but not in the wilderness.
Oh well. At least he had a new cloak, dirty though it may be. Not that he could really complain about the dirt, seeing as he knowingly made it out of the hide of a rock golem. But hey, that might make it worth a hefty sum to some avid collector. Hopefully, the One-Way City will have some more traditional boon, in addition to clues regarding the whereabouts of their target, the ever illusive Shifter's Soul.

It wasn't too long until they had topped the hillside where Storm sat, his large bulk sprawled across several trees. Wings tucked, not to his sides, but crossed under his chin in repose.
Dee bounded ahead of the others, a snappy greeting on his lips, but he stopped dead at the sight before them.
Nearly the entire valley before them was filled with a giant-sized city, wrapped around a mountain in a radial circle. High walls divided the city into districts, and surrounded the city as well, looking firm and strong, except for in one district which was noticeably ruined, even from this distance. Each district showed colourful architecture; reds and gold in one, deep blues and whites in another, deep browns and mossy greens, and one showed white and palest pastel. Other districts were unseen around the bulk of the mountain, which had a lopsided look, as if part of it had collapsed.
"I can't believe someone found out how to hide /that!/" Dee finally exclaimed, the awe only managing to silence him temporarily.
"Beware." The canine's voice warned from the trees, "Someone waits at the gateways."
((Here's a really crappy quick map. Huur i can arts. http://www.formspring.me/ArtSlave/q/348702128748908591 ))
Breannainn on Thu Jul 19, 2012 8:20 pm
Catching up with the derpy dragon, Aengus couldn't help but be impressed by the sight before them. Whistling in amazement, he tried to take in as much of it as possible beforehand. Which district might have the best loot? Which would be the most accessible? Where could he run if he needed to get away. All of these were important things to consider before even stepping foot in such a METROPOLIS.
"It is fairly difficult to believe that this place was ever hidden. Then again, there are a lot of things in the world that don't make a damn bit of sense. That's half the fun of exploring it. Speaking of which, who wants to go first? Come on, that fellow near the gates looks friendly enough. We're going to need a volunteer. Anyone? Not including the medic or the cannoneer, of course."
ApplauseJunkie on Fri Jul 27, 2012 1:41 pm
Lydia waved her hand from Taryn's back. "I'll go!" She squeaked.
"No, you won't," Angel quickly corrected.
"But Angeellllllll," she whined, leaning around the spiderling's torso to look at her brother. "I wanna meet the people! The city looks nice! I bet they have nice people, and food!"
The mention of food made Angel reconsider. But even his empty stomach could not convince him to allow his sister to run up to some unknown guard with her usual everyone-is-friendly attitude. "Why don't we all go as a group?" he suggested quietly.
Taryn shrugged. "That might look as if we're storming the gate."
Angel blushed. He hadn't thought of that.
crimsonCroc on Mon Jul 30, 2012 4:25 am
"Well, nothing to do but try. I'll go. If I signal twice it's safe, and once if I need backup."
Trrrb released her wings and began hovering at a pace, slightly faster than a run, toward the emerald hued section.

The insectoid woman was barely out of sight before Dee's impatience sent him bounding after her. "I'm just. Gonna... Yeah." This was the first draconic structure he'd ever seen! He couldn't wait. He made quite a sight, heading down the slope with his awkward run. His rump threatened to topple over his head, until he switched to a side-to-side slalom that made him look like a hyperactive pet.
The way there was longer than it seemed, with the walls looming taller and taller. About halfway there, Dee slowed to catch his breath and noticed something odd. There was a path, long and straight, as far as he could see (though others might see a slight curve to each side). It was only a few feet wide, but it was clear that nothing grew along the strip, and trees had their branches curving sharply away.
He crossed the dirt line several times, then shrugged and moved along.
The gateway dwarfed them once they approached, the opening, which was free of doors, was wide enough to drive several /houses/ through, while stretching in a tall, tall arch. The city beyond was made of stone and dirt structures, with plant life growing in elegant abundance. Mosses in a wide range of colours were cultivated in patterns and simple figures on the walls. They ranged from simple-looking hillside dens, to elaborate, ornate palatial structures of a single piece of uncut stone.
Dee was so caught up in the site, that he didn't notice the man until a simple strum of music caught his attention. A bard with a stringed instrument- Dee couldn't tell a fiddle apart from a flute- with deep black skin. Not black which was a deep brown, but black like a raven with matching hair. He seemed quite calm and content, watching the gawking dragon and insect woman with a friendly smile.
crimsonCroc on Sun Aug 05, 2012 6:50 am
Trrrb slowed her wings and descended, slowing to a walk. As Dee caught up to the archway, she stopped and took in the architecture along side him.
The note of music also drew Trrrb's attention, however she had been sure her eyes had passed over the spot it had come from and that, previously, no one had been there. She chalked it up to her own mistake.
"A manling with a mandolin, interesting, and I haven't seen one of that hue" she remarked to Dee, "although some of my people take to dyeing out their yellow furs with black, maybe this is a similar amusement? Younger generations confuse me."
She sighed, "Oh well; We should go and have a chat. Probably."
ApplauseJunkie on Tue Aug 07, 2012 10:27 pm
As Dee took off, so did Lydia, followed closely by Angel, who was more interested in trying to slow Lydia down until he could discern from those preceding them whether it was safe to approach or not. But Lydia had no such interests and wanted to meet the person at the gate as soon as possible, as well as all the people beyond the gate within the city. If she could have her way, she would meet and make friends with every single being inside the huge city's walls. Angel knew her intention all too well and wanted very much for exactly the opposite to happen.
Fortunately (or unfortunately) for him, Lydia stopped on her heels rather suddenly, sending him skidding to a stop some paces beyond her, and trotting back to her. She was staring at the ground, then up at the trees, then down at the ground. It was the same place that had fascinated Dee earlier: the line in the dirt where nothing grew, and where the trees grew away from it, leaning away. She stared, transfixed for a while with childish curiosity. Taryn approached them quietly, resting a hand on Lydia's shoulder. "What is it, dear?" she asked.
"Something was here," Lydia observed. "Like a big wall or something. See how the trees are?"
Taryn blinked, impressed with the child's skills of observation.
"It was a bad thing. The trees didn't like it." The little elfling frowned. "It was mean."
"There's nothing here," Angel grumped. "Come on, you wanted to meet the person at the gate. Stop staring at nothing."
Lydia didn't need telling twice once she had been reminded that there was someone to make friends with up ahead and went bounding once again toward their companions that had already begun to approach the musical gatekeeper. While the other two of them were still just observing him, Lydia wasted no time in dashing straight up to him and squeaking in her little voice, "Hi! My name's Lydia! What's your name? What kind of instrument is that? What city is this? Do you like it here? It's all green, is that a plant on the walls? Wow, you're amazing!" she rambled, thrilled to meet someone beyond their little established group of traveling companions.
Breannainn on Sat Aug 11, 2012 3:18 am
While most of the others bounded forward, Aengus decided to take his time, approaching their destination slowly & taking it all in. Admittedly, he hadn't been expecting anything quite this ostentatious, expecting it to be more like a much, much larger & more sophisticated version of Dee's home-den, complete with little shops & such carved into the mountain. Not that he was disappointed, of course. If the city was this grande, then it was sure to have plenty of financially beneficial opportunities for the whole group. Or, at the very least, maybe a few spare coins or gems laying around.
Strolling towards the city, he stopped to look at the barren pathway. Very odd. He thought that it might've been a scar left on the land from the barrier that used to keep the One-Way City hidden from the rest of the world. Though, admittedly, it seemed a bit more sinister than the remains of a simple magical barrier, what with the trees growing away from it. Plus, that seems like it would've been a pretty good hint to those passing by that something was there, thus greatly decreasing it's usefulness as a barrier of concealment. Maybe that was simply a side-effect of the removal of said barrier?
Then again, this is all speculation based upon the theoretical existence of said barrier, & is thus a giant waste of time. Meanwhile, Aengus noticed most of the party had caught up with Dee, & Lydia was already trying to make friends with their greeter. Not wanting to be left out of the loop, Aengus pressed forward, his new cloak flapping in the breeze.

The portly monk stood in total awe of the scenery. The great walls and structures were a far cry from his little monastery. From what he read, dragons were a noble and proud race. But he had become determined to learn more than what was just in books upon his journey, and from how the dragon boy acted, the creatures could be more playful than anticipated. He'd have to test the waters if they crossed paths.
Pulling the notebook from inside his robe, Brother Ericsson began writing notes and making sketches on the architecture and landscape around the group.

((Just a little post to remind everybody that this is still a thing. UU is, apparently, working on a post, but is having difficulties with the details. In the meantime, feel free to add your own posts. And by feel free, I mean that it's highly encouraged. Highly. Very highly.
Higher than fucking Mt. Everest, K2, Kangchenjunga, Lhtose, Makalu, & Cho Oyu combined. Yes, those are all basically connected. Shoosh. >> ))
((9/24/2012 Post Edit: Oooook. I'll try kicking things off. Since it's been nearly a month. More like 2.))
"So, how are introductions coming along? Is everybody friends yet? Are we welcome to enter the city?" Aengus asked, staring around at his companions, as well as the man with the instrument. "I wouldn't want to go in if there were some sort of problem, but we've come all this way, & adventure awaits!"
After a brief pause, a grimace slowly crept over Aengus's face. "Let me guess. Nobody's really done any talking yet? That's.......alright. Leave it to old Aengus the windbag. He never shuts up, anyways, right?" With a heavy sigh, Aengus approached the musical greeter. "Well hello there, my friend! I'm Aengus, as I'm sure you've gathered by now, & these are my companions. We wish to enter this fine city, in search of adventure, entertainment, shelter, fortune, &, of course, knowledge. Would that be alright, my bardish brother?"
((11/9/2012 Edit: So, this adventure is on hiatus. Not dead, just postponed until UU has enough time to try & get it going again. So I guess try to keep an eye on this & remember your characters so that you can hopefully get back to playing them as soon as things resume.))
Breannainn on Thu Jan 03, 2013 8:28 am
((Man, can't believe it's been so long. Hope you all are doing well. I really hope that this adventure can be revived at some point. So please, if you get some sort of notification of this, stay tubed. It would be FANTASTIC to see this awesome adventure revived. After all, from what UU has told me, we've barely scratched the surface of what it has to offer. Anywho, belated happy new year.))

((Same here, man. I miss this rp. I had SO MUCH PLANNED FOR AENGUS. I never got to reveal jack shit. Though that's my fault for planning things that would cause trouble if they were revealed too early.))
Breannainn on Sun Mar 02, 2014 1:45 pm
Probably my biggest regret about this rp is that I had SUCH PLANS. SUCH PLANS IN STORE. So much plotted for Aengus. So much to do for poor Lydia & Angel. And all of which was to be, quite possibly, my most joyous project ever.
Major Spoilers:
Ok. So, first of all, Aengus was a Wind Mage/Thief. He wasn't super powerful, & used his magic in subtle ways. Such as causing distractions, boosting his movements, & redirecting his scent trails. In the past, he stole from some very powerful, very dangerous people overseas. Said people put a price on his head, & he began running. Eventually, he heard of the legend of the Shifters' Soul. Thinking of it as his golden opportunity to clear his name, Aengus set out after it. He followed a few groups of adventurers before he met the main cast, but none semed RIGHT. And then, he met THE GROUP. They were strong. They were smart. They were brave. Perfect for taking down the mythical beast, & perfect for taking advantage of. Aengus planned to use them to acquire the Shifters' Soul, & then take off with it & get rich. However, after hearing Lydias' story, he just couldn't do that. Admittedly, he was still going to rip everybody off, but he was then planning on giving Lydia & Angel half of the total loot, ensuring that they could save their mother & also never have to worry about money again, while still keeping enough to pay off his bounty & live comfortably until the end of his days.

The currently used compiler for Haskell (GHC 7.4.1) is over 3 years old, which is significant considering the evolution speed of Haskell ecosystem. Could you please upgrade to latest GHC version ? It should be as straightforward as installing the latest Haskell Platform distribution.
Could you add the Lens package to the Haskell installation? It's a really common library for working with nested data structures, which I think will be fairly common. A lot of people trying to do bots in Haskell will likely want to use Lens.
Perhaps a lightweight lens library would be sufficient (e.g. microlens) ?
I'll add it to our TODO list.
Also, GHC 8 has just been released :) .


CyberDERM's most lightweight, ultra-matte sunscreen to date — with Ecocert Certified Organic 15% Zinc Oxide as its active ingredient and their patent pending Bio UVA Ultra in its tinted form.
This extremely dry touch finish, feels instantly weightless when applied to the skin. It provides exceptional UVA and UVB protection with zinc oxide as its only active ingredient. The patent-pending innovation, Bio UVA Ultra, uses an Ecocert certified organic material to increase the UVA protection by up to 60% in addition to improving the SPF.
This formula is a true SPF 45, meaning CyberDERM does not use anti-inflammatories or antioxidants to artificially elevate the SPF during testing. The formula features a high concentration of certified organic and naturally derived ingredients.
