When I had to put our game on hold back in December we had eight people in our group. It would get pretty loud sometimes, and more than a few games would have to be cancelled because some would just not show up. After my surgery I started to call the members together and a few more people wanted in. The result was the group split, the more social people and the role players.
My problem is, they all played in one setting (I guess we will play on alternating weekends) and now with the split where do I put them? I foresee one group affecting the other in many ways. My reasoning for this is when a player gets mauled or killed we end the year right there so the character can recover, or, the year goes on until the winter where it is difficult to rp. There are years that only last one game day, while others will last several months. If one group has to end the year while one group goes on they will get out of sequence, affecting the world. This I can't have for reasons that most will see as obvious.
How do I resolve my predicament? The only solution I can think of is to place them on opposite ends of the land. In practical terms they would have two large territories and over a thousand miles separating them even though it would be just two different kingdoms. I can still see opportunities for one group to affect the other. What would you do to keep both groups time lines aligned?
Can't you just have the same campaign setting but with each group carving their own history? Everyone that uses any campaign setting is sure to run it differently and have different outcomes. To keep track of the changes that each group has made, use a campaign journal to track their story. If you have a Bard or Scholar in the group, have them write the journal themselves for a little extra RP XP.
In my own campaign world, I use the same starting point and plot hook for every group. I like to see how different groups develop the same story. I have had groups that aren't very original and mostly follow the plot, while others find interesting ways to solve problems. For instance, my common start point is the group is being paid to scout the enemy army. The boring groups (3 in total) do just that, keeping track and just making their reports. One group decided to set fire to the forest as the enemy army marched through (Alchemist Fire suspened with timed candles to start the fires). Another group damned a river and then burst dam as the army was crossing (wood and stone dam, designed by Gnome Rouge with alot of skill in trapmaking, that was easily toppled by a lever). Another original idea was when a group decided to switch allegiances, since they thought their employers were doomed and wanted to ensure continuing paychecks (never trust mercenaries). My favorite group, warned the people in the way and started forming a large band to harass the enemy and destroy their supplies (the whole party took leadership at lvl 6).
Let the groups form their own destiny. If you tie the social group to the story formed by the RP group, you may find resentment forming or the RP group may not like how the social group is acting.
Are the players interacting with each other somehow such that continuity has to exist? Are they communicating with or scrying on each other? Why not only guarantee consistency with each group? When DMing group 1 treat all of group 2's characters as NPCs and when DMing group 2, treat all of group 1's characters as NPCs, and let the plots move as they may. It'd be more complicated (worst case, twice as much).
Are you open to odd plot device ideas? For example, is there some trait in your universe so that time-flow in the pocket dimensions conjured via a Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion spell is chaotic, allowing you to slow down or speed up time as you need to keep everyone roughly in sync?
Or could you distract the group that's ahead via a side-quest or two? I suppose some/all of these are borderline railroading.
Maybe the group that's ahead can somehow help the group that's behind?
My original thinking was for the two groups to just so their thing (I am notorious for not wanting a linear type of game) and let the cards fall where they may. The plot I have in mind are not written in stone and subject to change caused by PC's. And though most everyone knows most everyone, they don't really get together outside the game (except at our local conventions) so I don't expect a whole lot of cross talk between groups. Since they won't be playing together they most likely will not know how the other group affects them, at least for awhile.
This is the idea I have been leaning towards, but like you mention, I can see it getting complicated further down the road as the PC's of both groups get more powerful. That is my dilemma.
When I run adventures for the local convention goers I use adventures I have run for my various games. The premise is the same and I use the same characters and all. The adventures sometimes go the same as originally played out and sometimes things explode all over the place. I wonder if this is a good idea here? Would the contrary story lines ruin the story for me? As things are going now, without intervention from you, I have been thinking of sticking one group in the place I have been developing for years and having the other group start in the opposite place of the developed lands. One group will start in the frontier and the other in the swamps of the former evil empire to the south of the main kingdom. I don't like doing this as I sort of see it as copping out on my part, but I haven't really thought of how to best solve this predicament. I have never had this many players to satisfy at the same time except at the conventions.


Your Heavy Burden of Sin Has Been Removed!
But the Lord your God did not say this! Instead, He testified: "I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." The Holy Ghost inspired these words: "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." John the Beloved claimed that Jesus: "loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood".
The reason Jesus came to this earth to rescue us is because we are filled with sin. The vast majority of sins cannot be abandoned. Most sins like unjustified anger, greed, gossiping, envy, lust, lying, etc. are committed over and over again throughout a person's life time. Oh, there are a few specific commands that one can abandon. Man-made commands like the Word of Wisdom are easy to follow and create a false impression of righteousness.
This trains a person to look at the few sins they don't commit rather than seeing the great number they do commit. You might even be able to pay a full ten-percent tithe your entire life. But, if you don't do it cheerfully, you are sinning. The most difficult command is to love God more than anything or anyone. We all break this command over and over again—every time we commit every single sin.
Using the analogy that each sin is like a stone, every person who has ever lived would have so many stones piled on them they could not stand. They would literally be buried under a mountain. You could not "carry" this burden because it would be far too heavy to bear. Only a person who chooses not to acknowledge the extent to which they break God's commands would ever claim that the "soul who sinneth [meaning again] shall the former sins return"!
Only someone who does not know how often they sin could ever believe it possible to abandon most of the sin they commit. In their ignorance and their arrogance they believe their pack is almost empty when in reality it is so great Heavenly Father had to send His Son to remove it!
Looking back at the exercise for Home Evening, imagine taking several rocks and writing a sin on each rock. Start with the sin of being "Unforgiving". In your life, how many times have you struggled to forgive someone? How about being "Covetous"? How many times have you coveted another persons looks, their home, their spouse, their car? How often are you "Contentious" or "Quarrelsome"? How are you doing at forsaking the sins of "Envy", "Lying" or "Impatience"? Did you know that "Worrying" or being "Fearful" are sins? How many times are you "Bitter", "Judgmental", "Angry", "Discourteous" or "Unkind"? How often do you "Gossip" about others or "Slander" someone? Have you abandoned "Cursing" or the sin of "Lusting" after anyone you aren't married to?
I haven't even mentioned the Sins of omission: Not seeking God's kingdom first, Not blessing those who persecute you, Not feeding the hungry, Not clothing the stranger, Not visiting those in prison, Not praying continually, Not thanking God for everything, Not being content with what you have, Not trusting God to take care of you and Not giving God the glory for everything you do.
But, if you believe the words of prophets who claim you must abandon these sins to gain forgiveness, then this falsehood becomes truth for you. When you die, you will still be in your sins because you rejected your Savior who covered your sins with His blood. On Judgment Day, your sins will return to you; evidence that you didn't trust in the Savior who removed your sins with His blood. Then, you will be cast into Outer Darkness to spend eternity with Satan.

You know how some people comfort eat?
I comfort-shop. Yes, it's a thing. Because I said so.
Over the past few weeks, I've lost a few pounds due to sheer stress and anxiety (and I'm pretty sure I've gained them back, too, thanks to my mum's determination to 'feed me up', which has included deliveries of her famous mac 'n' cheese – thanks, mum!), but I've also spent a few pounds – er, more than a "few" pounds, if I'm honest – on clothes, shoes and other things which I told myself would cheer me up, and which I felt I "deserved" on account of the sheer misery I was going through at the time.
The problem with comfort shopping, of course, (other than the obvious effect it has on your finances) is that it sort of works, too. And I mean, OBVIOUSLY a new dress does not cure depression, relieve extreme anxiety, or make even a tiny dent in the sadness caused by some of the things I've been facing lately. I'm not saying that for a second.
At the time, though, there's no denying that shopping does make me feel just a little bit better – albeit temporarily. (And sometimes for longer, too: a thing of beauty is a joy forever, amiright?) Shopping has always done that for me: it's one of the reasons I love it so much. It's fun, it's exciting (yes, I realise how pathetic I'm making myself sound to those of you who just don't "get" it), and I get a huge kick out of walking out of the store with that much-coveted item, or getting an exciting delivery in the mail – in fact, because of that, I don't just count down to pay day itself, but also to 14 days BEFORE pay day, because that's when I know I can use Paypal Pay After Delivery. It's a little bit like a drug, I guess. I'm not making this sound any better here, am I?
OK: the main point of this post, then, is not to attempt to explain or defend my shopping addiction to you: it's simply to acknowledge the habit, and attempt to do something to change it.
Er, not literally, obviously. I mean, I couldn't type this post with my hands above my head, could I? And one of the more difficult aspects of my job (I use the word "difficult" here in a relative sense, you understand…) is that my livelihood quite literally depends on me visiting a number of retail websites every day, and then writing about the products I find there. I can't just stop doing that, but I CAN stop myself actually going on to BUY the items I write about, which is why I'm putting myself on a 3-month shopping diet.
You'll notice I'm using the word "diet" here, rather than "ban". I DID consider an outright shopping ban, but I've decided to attempt to reduce my shopping, as opposed to stopping altogether, mostly because I know from experience that if I attempt to totally BAN myself from something, that thing will immediately become the only thing I can think about, and I'll end up doing/eating/buying even MORE of it than would otherwise have been the case. I'm not proud of myself, but, well, I think it's important to know how your mind works with this kind of thing, and not just set yourself up for total failure, don't you?
Honestly, I don't really foresee any situations where this is likely to happen, but by "essential items" I'm thinking of things like that white tank top I layer under absolutely everything, or the only bra that fits me at the moment, or whatever. Should something happen to the items I literally can't live without (like, all of my PJs get … drowned in a flood… or something), I will replace them, but if it's just a case of "Oooh, lookit the pretty shoes!", then NO, AMBER, BACK AWAY, FFS.
I don't have nearly as big an issue with beauty products as I do with fashion ones, mostly because I just tend to stick to the same favourites, which I buy over and over again. I'm aware, however, that if I stop allowing myself to buy clothes, I could very easily just switch my obsession to makeup instead (the small collection of totally unnecessary new nail polish currently sitting on my desk would seem to confirm this suspicion…), so, as above, I'll allow myself to replace items which run out, but I won't be buying any new ones during the duration of the "diet".
This final point is one I suspect some readers might have an issue with, but the fact is, as a sometime-fashion blogger, I'm in the very fortunate position where I'm sometimes offered clothes and accessories to feature on my blog. As the main point of this exercise is to reduce my personal spending on those items, not to force myself to try to live with a totally 'minimal' wardrobe (I have total respect for people who do that, by the way, but I have to acknowledge that fashion is something I enjoy too much to give it up entirely), I will continue to accept those items, some of which come in the form of gift cards.
I'm being upfront about this because, at the end of the day, this is part of my job, and while I'd like to balance my personal spending a little better, I think it would be silly (both in a business sense and in a personal one) to turn down offers which a) help my blog and b) allow me to indulge my love of fashion without over-spending.
On a similar note, obviously Christmas is coming up, and although I'm planning to avoid the sales, should I be lucky enough to receive any gift cards etc as gifts, those would also be covered by the exemption above!
I'm aiming to stick to this spending "diet" for a minimum of three months, at which point I might consider extending it – we'll see how it goes. In the meantime, in order to both keep myself accountable, and to help drive the message home (to myself, I mean…) that I have MORE than enough clothes already, I'm going to be taking daily outfit photos, to record my progress, and hopefully help motivate me to appreciate the clothes I already have, rather than constantly convincing myself I need new ones.
I'm not quite sure yet whether I'll be posting these daily, weekly, or a combination of both: I HAD actually planned to re-start the '12 Days of Christmas Outfits' series I did last year: in fact, I'd had some quite ambitious plans to involve some brands in it, and make it much more of a "thing", but, of course, I hit rather a large stumbling block with that, so it didn't work out. Next year, perhaps.
What I DO know, however, is that when I say 'daily outfit photos', I'm talking mostly about those back-to-the-wall ones I do when I can't take photos outdoors, for some reason. It won't be anything fancy (not that there ever IS anything "fancy" with my photos, mind you!), and those posts will be an addition to the regular content, not a replacement for it – so I'm not going full-on outfit blog on you. To be honest, I can't even promise the "daily" bit, because right now I'm still feeling the effects of the methrotrextate treatment I've been having, I still have multiple hospital visits ahead of me, and, above all, I'm still very aware that things could all go horribly wrong, health-wise. I mean, I'm hoping they won't, obviously, but I've learned my lesson, and am not going be making the mistake of over-confidence again in a hurry, or push myself to crank out blog content if I'm really not feeling up to it.
Still, though, I spoke about the importance of "normality" in one of my posts last week, and I still think that at least trying to get back into a somewhat normal routine, even if it just means getting dressed every day (I'm not counting the leggings and sweatshirts I've spent the last couple of weeks in as "getting dressed…") and blogging about some lighter, more "normal" stuff than I have been, will be a big help to me right now.
And with all of that said, let the 'diet' begin!
Hey Amber, so pleased 'all the other stuff' going on in your life has taken a positive turn. I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed that it's all over soonest.
Re shopping, l put myself on a total shopping ban on 1 June to the end of the year and l've now extended it to last a full year. It's been easier than l could ever have imagined! One of the great things about it has been 'rediscovering' things l loved but didn't wear much or at all because l was always buying new stuff. It's almost like shopping for new stuff.
Hope you're continuing to feel a little better Amber. Looking forward to seeing the outfits you style from existing items. It's always good to have ideas on styling the same item in multiple ways and to be inspired by new combinations. I loved your Different Ways to Wear posts which you did a while ago. Might join you on that shopping diet!
Yaas to the above comment. I always love recycle outfit posts or different ways to style them.
And good luck with your 'diet' and everything else.
It sounds like you are getting back to normal after the ongoing trauma of the last few weeks, and hopefully all will be well by Christmas so you can enjoy choosing fab outfits to show off. Looking forward to seeing the photos. In fact, I hope you find a dress 👗 you love (this one is your favourite green) and just have to buy it.
I'm glad that things look like they're on the upswing for you!
And I get the comfort shopping. My vices are clothes, shoes, books and makeup.
And my husband uses this to his advantage, if I can manage to get through my yearly blood draw without too much fuss (no kicking or biting -once a nurse tried to hold me down to get blood from me it ended badly) then he'll take me to buy something, usually a book because there a couple of bookstores close to the lab where I get it done.
It works pretty well because I spend the day focusing what book to get off my to buy list and then only have a few minutes panic over the blood draw right as its about to happen.
I am absolutely thrilled that life is being kinder to you now! I have. Ever ever understood why lovely people seem to have such unpleasantries thrown at them (is that a word?? If not I'm making it one , in honour of you) !
I have a huge , enormous confession .. ; I'm a little sad you are going to have to endure a shopping diet … I love ❤ reading your shopping temptations and seeing you look all gorgeous … (I'm not into ladies; thought I had better say that given that I am sounding rather creepy!). You have made me want to make more of myself ; when I had definitely let myself slide after my divorce… and always felt guilty about spending on myself; so thank you !!
Hi Amber! I too "comfort shop" – and have started a shopping freeze for the months of December and January…so far I have only bought one necklace (for my husband's work holiday party) and am actually enjoying (mostly) playing in my closet to pt together outfits! I'll look forward to seeing your outfit posts and am SO GLAD that you are starting to feel better!
Comfort shopping is definitely a thing, I do it too! I have been doing a bit too much since beginning chemo so I've had to put myself on a 'diet' too or nobody would get any Christmas presents. However my diet has one exception which is an end of chemo treat in January, which just so happens to coincide with my student loan coming in….
This is a great idea. I'm a compulsive shopper like you – might take the rules of your shopping diet and put it as my new year's resolution!
I hope things get better for you! Life always decides to throw a wrench our way. I decided to do a shopping ban for the entire year starting in beginning of November. Broke it three times now because there were things I needed and I didn't plan ahead for prior to my shopping ban. For me, I was buying things because I liked them and not because they would add something to my life. Also, I always like opening things. Thought about wrapping up an item I haven't worn in a while just to make it feel new–haven't done it yet. (Crazy, but you get the psychological effect).
Prior to making the three purchases, I weighed the options: will it be available in 3 months? Do i need this? (I did need sweaters for the East Coast winters here in the U.S.) and my last question was, can I pair it with three different items? Shopping more consciously was my problem and I know now that I can shop consciously.

The Arenal hanging bridges tour in Costa Rica is an incredible experience immersed in nature. The guided hiking tour at Sky Adventures takes you through the Costa Rican rain forest and across five bridges. It may be one of the most beautiful hikes I've ever done, and it gives a unique perspective of the rain forest.
The Arenal hanging bridges hike is about 3 miles long. While the hike isn't extremely strenuous, it takes you up and down stairs on a defined but rocky and uneven path. While the tour is best known for the hanging bridges, only a small portion of that 3-mile long trek actually takes place on a bridge. You cross five bridges, and the path takes you by several waterfalls. At least three of the bridges are longer suspension or hanging bridges high up in the rain forest canopy. On a cloudy day, it feels like you are walking straight into the clouds. At times, you may not even be able to see the other side of the bridge.
The Arenal hanging bridges tour is a guided tour, and can take several hours if you have a large group. They typically say it takes 3 hours to walk the three mile pathway. The guide will stop several times along the way to explain and point out different areas of the rain forest, unique vegetation, and even wildlife. There are bathrooms halfway through the hike and a water fountain where you can get a quick drink if you did not bring a water bottle.
There are no age limitations for the tour. In fact, we were able to do this tour with our infant. We wore her in a carrier and she basically slept most of the way. This hike is a bit more strenuous than the ziplining tour, which is also offered at Sky Adventures. Wearing your baby, which would be the only way to do this with an infant, definitely requires being in decent physical shape. If you do not regularly workout, I would not recommend this excursion with small children. With that said, we had no problem with it. So if you are an adventurous parent and in decent shape, GO FOR IT!
You could do this tour with a toddler or younger child, as well, but be prepared to carry them part of the way if they get tired of walking. I'd recommend bringing a child carrier, like this one, with you. You will also need to hold their hand along parts of the path where it is extremely uneven so they do not fall and injure themselves.
The Arenal hanging bridges tour is not wheelchair accessible. If you have a physical handicap, you may not be able to do this tour. The group will stop from time-to-time as the guide highlights different parts of the route, so even if you aren't in great shape you will have a chance to catch your breath. However, if you are extremely out-of-shape and tire easily, I would not recommend this tour. You should be in good enough physical condition that you can walk 3 miles and handle various change in elevation.
The guides are very well informed about the rain forest and can provide a lot of interesting information, so there is an educational element to the tour, as well. This is a great tour for those traveling with older children, as it very well could spark an interest in biology and nature conservancy.
Having experienced this hike firsthand, here are a few recommendations if you are going to do the Arenal hanging bridges tour.
Mosquito repellent are a must. We make our chemical-free repellent that works wonders!
Bring a water bottle and a light snack, especially if traveling with children. I personally love this water bottle because it keeps your drink cold for 24 hours.
If you are hiking with a baby or toddler in tow, bring a bottle or sippy cup for them, as well.
A child carrier or baby carrier is also recommended if doing this tour with babies or young children.
With the proper gear and expectations, the Arenal hanging bridges tour is a great family experience. The hike is beautiful and you get to see so much of the rain forest and natural vegetation this way.

A couple of weeks ago, we ran the Raging Bull Trail Run.
Again, signed up for 6, ran 3. Boo, hiss.
We discovered we run downhill like old ladies. Really. We picked our way downhill, sliding and slipping the whole way and not at all 'running'. The Raging Bull is a 3 mile loop in a HILLY state park. At the time, I did not own any trail shoes and was running on my old shoes that had zero traction. Not that that would've really helped but we can say so.
It was really a beautiful place to run.
When we started getting lapped by some of the other people ,we were amazed at how confidently the ran down the snowy, icey hills. So about halfway down one hill, I tried it. Complete with sounds effects…."wheeeeee".
We were a lot faster the second half and really debated the 2nd loop. We were with a friend that is significantly faster than us and were afraid that if we took off again she would be waiting a long time! I had 4 miles planned for the day, so we ran on the road to get another mile in, and when we got back our friend was done.
I think that's the trail.
Do you run on trails in the winter or stick to roads?
I've done two trail races this winter. Both were brutal but fun. My 5 mile race two weeks ago was through several inches of snow – impossible to really run in, it was more like doing high knees for 2 hours! (Yes, 5 miles took me 2 hours on that trail…it was THAT bad!) My January race was all ice, but I never fell. Whee!
I can't wait for the weather to warm up and I can running some trails in nice weather and conditions. It has amazed me how something so painful and tiring can be so much fun!

Q: Alsa devices under Wine I'm running OpenSuse 11.2 and Wine 1.1.28.
Even if audio is perfectly working fine for me (Skype, Banshee, etc), when I try to configure audio for Wine (to use Spotify) I cannot hear anything from the audio test.
In the winecfg audio tab, ALSA is checked, but no devices are available.
I tried to run alsaconf (it needs root permissions) but it returns:

No supported PnP or PCI card found No
  legacy drivers available, either.

Any idea?

Scientists use fruit peel to turn old batteries into new
Scientists led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a novel method of using fruit peel waste to extract and reuse precious metals from spent lithium-ion batteries in order to create new batteries.
The team demonstrated their concept using orange peel, which recovered precious metals from battery waste efficiently. They then made functional batteries from these recovered metals, creating minimal waste in the process.
The scientists say that their waste-to-resource approach tackles both food waste and electronics waste, supporting the development of a circular economy with zero waste, in which resources are kept in use for as long as possible. An estimated 1.3 billion tonnes of food waste and 50 million tonnes of e-waste are generated globally each year.
Spent batteries are conventionally treated with extreme heat (over 500°C) to smelt valuable metals, which emits hazardous toxic gases. Alternative approaches that use strong acid solutions or weaker acid solutions with hydrogen peroxide to extract the metals are being explored, but they still produce secondary pollutants that pose health and safety risks, or rely on hydrogen peroxide which is hazardous and unstable.
Professor Madhavi Srinivasan, co-director of the NTU Singapore-CEA Alliance for Research in Circular Economy (NTU SCARCE) lab, said: "Current industrial recycling processes of e-waste are energy-intensive and emit harmful pollutants and liquid waste, pointing to an urgent need for eco-friendly methods as the amount of e-waste grows. Our team has demonstrated that it is possible to do so with biodegradable substances.
"These findings build on our existing body of work at SCARCE under NTU's Energy Research Institute (ERI@N). The SCARCE lab was was set up to develop greener ways of recycling e-waste. It is also part of the NTU Smart Campus initiative, which aims to develop technologically advanced solutions for a sustainable future."
Assistant Professor Dalton Tay of the NTU School of Materials Science and Engineering and School of Biological Sciences said: "In Singapore, a resource-scarce country, this process of urban mining to extract valuable metals from all kinds of discarded electronics becomes very important. With this method, we not only tackle the problem of resource depletion by keeping these precious metals in use as much as possible, but also the problem of e-waste and food waste accumulation - both a growing global crisis."
A low-cost, sustainable approach
With industrial approaches to recycling battery waste generating harmful pollutants, hydrometallurgy - using water as a solvent for extraction - is increasingly being explored as a possible alternative. This process involves first shredding and crushing used batteries to form a crushed material called black mass. Researchers then extract valuable metals from black mass by dissolving it in a mix of strong acids or weak acids plus other chemicals like hydrogen peroxide under heat, before letting the metals precipitate.
While relatively more eco-friendly than conventional methods, the use of such strong chemicals on an industrial scale could generate a substantial amount of secondary pollutants, posing significant safety and health risks, said Asst Prof Tay.
The NTU team found that the combination of orange peel that has been oven-dried and ground into powder, and citric acid, a weak organic acid found in citrus fruits, can achieve the same goal.
In lab experiments, the team found that their approach successfully extracted around 90 per cent of cobalt, lithium, nickel, and manganese from spent lithium-ion batteries - a comparable efficacy to the approach using hydrogen peroxide.
Asst Prof Tay explained: "The key lies in the cellulose found in orange peel, which is converted into sugars under heat during the extraction process. These sugars enhance the recovery of metals from battery waste. Naturally-occurring antioxidants found in orange peel, such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, could have contributed to this enhancement as well."
Importantly, solid residues generated from this process were found to be non-toxic, suggesting that this method is environmentally sound, he added.
From the recovered materials, they then assembled new lithium-ion batteries, which showed a similar charge capacity to commercial ones. Further research is underway to optimise the charge-discharge cycling performance of these new batteries made from recovered materials.
This suggests that this new technology is "practically feasible for recycling spent lithium ion batteries in the industrial sense", said the researchers.
The team is now looking to further improve the performance of their batteries generated from treated battery waste. They are also optimising the conditions to scale up production and exploring the possibility of removing the use of acids in the process.
Prof Madhavi, who is also from NTU's School of Materials Science and Engineering and ERI@N, said: "This waste-to-resource approach could also potentially be extended to other types of cellulose-rich fruit and vegetable waste, as well as lithium-ion battery types such as lithium iron phosphate and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide. This would help to make great strides towards the new circular economy of e-waste, and power our lives in a greener and more sustainable manner."

50 years! Do you know what was happening 50 years ago?
and our mortal world lost Flannery O' Connor, author of (in my opinion) one of the greatest novels ever written, Wise Blood.
And as all that was transpiring, a wine was quietly being assembled atop a limestone mountain in the northern reaches of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
A wine that would go on to become the very first Ridge Zinfandel; the first in a fifty-year history.
David Bennion, Charles Rosen, Hewitt Crane, and Howard Zeidler.
1964, the harvest. Bottled in November of 1965. The same month as the Battle of La Drang; the effective beginning of the Vietnam War.
This is what wine stood for then, this is what wine stands for now.
Come to the table. Sit, talk, sip. Think, learn, be peaceful.
When I touch you, I feel happy inside.
We were there then. A friend of ours was a friend of the four who were BCRZ. He stayed in the cabin for awhile, and we visited him sometimes. The oak tree was there; under it was an old oak table, once painted white, but now peeling. Round marks from buckets of grapes stained the surface. And we had not yet become wine drinkers. Ah, what we missed.

Q: Error when using Toast I use Toast to display some message but have some trouble. There is my code:
  private Button btPush;
    private EditText etxMessage;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        btPush = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btPushMe);
        btPush.setOnClickListener(sayHello);

        etxMessage = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
    }

    View.OnClickListener sayHello = new View.OnClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            LayoutInflater inflated = getLayoutInflater();
            View layout = inflated.inflate(R.layout.activity_main,(ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.layout));
            String string = etxMessage.getText().toString();
            Toast toast = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
            toast.setText(string);
            toast.setGravity(Gravity.TOP|Gravity.LEFT, 0, 0);
            toast.setDuration(Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
            toast.setView(layout);
            toast.show();
            //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),string,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    };

If I use:
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),string,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

It works!

A: Toast.makeText(YourActivity.this,"YOUR TEXT HERE", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

A: You can try this ..if the error still remain then paste your log-cat output it will be easy for us to give you answer
      Toast msg = Toast.makeText(ToastExample.this,"YOUR TEXT HERE", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
   msg.show();

A: Try this:
LayoutInflater inflated = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View layout = inflated.inflate(R.layout.activity_main, null);

A: Try out the layout inflating like this :
LayoutInflater inflated = LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View layout = inflated.inflate(R.layout.activity_main, null);

A: Many ways to use Toast to display a message...
using Toast object ...
Toast toast = new Toast(YourClassName.this);
or
Trying to display from click event then use this code...
but this 'v' is a object of View .
Toast toast = new Toast(v.getContext());
or
and below code you can use anywhere inside YourActivityClass...
Toast.makeText(YourClassName.this,"Your Message",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Bratstvo slobodnog duha je naziv za antinomistički laički kršćanski pokret koji je postojao u Sjevernoj Europi u 13. i 14. stoljeću.  Korijeni mu sežu u 1200. godinu, među pariške intelektualce okupljene oko Williama Aufirexa. Pripadnici pokreta propagirali su panteizam, nativizam, odbacivanje autoriteta i emancipaciju žena s uvijek prisutnim pokličem: Kruha, za ime Božje!

Zbog svog antinomističkog i individualističkog karaktera, bratstvo vrlo je brzo došlo u sukob s Rimokatoličkom crkvom. Papa Klement V. ga je zbog toga proglasio heretičkim na Vienneškom saboru 1311. – 1312. godine. Usprkos tome, pokret se nastavio širiti, čemu je pogodovala kriza zapadnog kršćanstva izazvana avignonskim papinstvom, likvidacijom templara te epidemijom Crne smrti koji su doveli u pitanje mnoge dotadašnje kršćanske dogme. S vremenom je, usprkos progonima, poprimio različite oblike koji su poslužili kao inspiracija raznim kasnijim pokretima poput taborita u Češkoj u 15. stoljeću ili Diggera (kopača) u revolucionarnoj Engleskoj 17. stoljeća. Često se smatra i najranijim pretečom suvremenog anarhističkog pokreta.

Bratstvo slobodnog duha spada u neoadamitske pokrete.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988)
Published on December 4, 2011 by Chris Scullion
Director: Stephen Chiodo
Starring: Grant Cramer, Suzanne Snyder, John Nelson, John Vernon
"Killer clowns? From outer space? Holy shit." (Mooney, Killer Klowns From Outer Space)
Sometimes a film is so clearly ridiculous it doesn't pretend otherwise and instead proclaims through its title: "if you buy this film, you're in for some weird shit". As you can no doubt imagine, Killer Klowns From Outer Space falls directly into this category.
It was created by the Chido brothers, a trio of siblings with a love for the weird and wonderful and an admirable passion for film-making, in particular puppetry and special effects.
In fact, there's a good chance you've seen their work before, because in recent times the Chiodos have made occasional contributions to The Simpsons (like the Gravey & Jobriath cartoon), and more notably created all the puppets in Team America. It's fairly clear, then, what sort of sense of humour they have.
Yes, because that clown definitely looks 100% trustworthy
Killer Klowns From Outer Space, however, was the only time the Chiodos worked together to create the story, do the special effects and direct a whole movie, and while many these days regard it as a "good bad" movie among the ranks of Troll 2 and Howard The Duck in reality it's actually pretty well made for its budget, hammy acting and ridiculous plot aside.
It's set in a small country town, where one night a couple on a date see a flaming meteorite enter the atmosphere in the distance and land with a crash. When they go to investigate they find a circus big top in its place. They enter the big top and discover that it's actually an alien spaceship, where aliens who look like clowns are abducting the townsfolk, placing them in big cotton candy cocoons and draining their blood to drink it.
This year's X Factor auditions were without a doubt the worst yet
While the acting is by-and-large horrible throughout the film (with the exception of Dirty Harry and Animal House star John Vernon as the police chief), there's no denying that Killer Klowns From Outer Space is a labour of love, not just by the Chiodos but by the entire cast as well. They may not be great actors but by God you can tell they're giving it their all.
Somewhat more impressive is the excellent clown costumes. While it would have been perfectly acceptable to just say "well, they're from space, so let's just say all the clowns look the same", the Chiodos made all sorts of weird and wonderful clowns so that each looks completely unique. It's a pleasant attention to detail that really gives the film a sense of character.
You'll see a lot of things in Killer Klowns that you've never seen in any other film. Popcorn that comes to life and eats people, for example. Or custard pies that actually contain acid. And, of course, the classic scene where a group of people are eaten alive by a shadow puppet.
Killer Klowns From Outer Space is silly fun, and fantastic proof that a low budget doesn't necessarily mean a film should be lacking in originality and great ideas. Get some mates around, get some (non-killer) popcorn and enjoy some proper low-budget '80s comedy cheese. Oh, and the music is awesome too, as you can see by the trailer below.

Excellent review, definitely one of my favorite horror movies.
Interesting sidenote: the Chiodo Brothers also designed the "ghost" puppets in Universal Studios' former "Ghostbusters Spooktacular" attraction.

Q: How do I point to the data files for a wpf web application (once published)? Getting the executing directory does not work So when debugging simply getting the executing path and accessing files in reference to that works fine, e.g.
string applicationDirectory = System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();

or One of the many other ways of getting the directory. It gets the directory with the WPF app in it and I can work with that fine.
However, once I publish the application it no longer works, instead the variable is something like this: Documents and Settings\ ... \Apps\2.0\MHERCHY1.BJ7\O0LQQBXT.1GH\wpfc..xbap_98594a552e5855fe_0001.0000_2df2d386a082f2f3
Which is not where it is installed (but I'm guessing where it is executing from).
So how do I do this? I need a way of pointing to the data resources for the application. Thanks!

A: USe Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location
it will give you the path of your executable.


Food & Style blogger, chef, and Hudson River Valley tastemaker Viviane Bauquet Farre found Farnum Hill through our mutual friend, Upper Valley tastemaker Meg Houston Maker.
Viviane's review of Farnum Hill SemiDry cider appeared recently, along with some mouthwatering descriptions of cheese pairings. We often recommend our ciders as a cheese course natural, and her cheese choices might be just right for your next elegant — or humble — get-together.
Our "drink local" mantra was embraced, as Viviane explained her tasting menu….
My intent was to select five artisan cheeses from New England that I'd never tasted before, and pair them with Gourmet Attitude's stunning Truffle Honey. Then I thought, why not serve the cheeses with a local wine? Local all the way!
It turns out that it wasn't a wine that I ended up pairing my spectacular cheese course with, but a hard cider from Farnum Hill Ciders.
As we savored every morsel of cheese, every drop of honey and every sip of cider, it struck me that artisan products made in the United Sates have completely come into their own – that they reflect the passion of their makers and the taste of the land every bit as much as their European counterparts.
The first sip was a complete surprise. Although the apple flavors were present, they were complex, balanced and leaning more towards apple skins than fleshy apples. Also, despite its name, the cider was not sweet at all. It was more on the dry side — which to my palate made it that much more interesting. But the magical moment came when I tried the Farnum Hill semi-dry with the artisan cheeses I'd selected. The apple tones complemented the sweet, grassy and tangy cheeses, while the dryness of the cider cut through their rich texture. I'd never thought of serving hard cider with a cheese course before, but I can assure you it won't be the last time I do.
For a full description of Viviane's tasting adventure, with the cheese descriptions too, check out her blog entry….but don't read hungry!

Q: Playing video on PEPPER's tablet using Choregraphe Whenever I try to play a video (on PEPPERS tablet), that is locally saved, I encounter the following problem - on the PEPPER's tablet the error message "Video could not be played" is displayed. I am using Choregraphe and its standard 'play video' box.
Here is a screenshot of the project
EDITED

I think the problem may occur because:

*

*The path to the video is not set correctly, but I highly doubt this is the case.

*The video formats I have tested are mp4 and mov, that are converted from random youtube videos.

So my question is why the video can not be played on the PEPPER's tablet this way?

A: Try with just the name my_video.mp4 as parameter, no quote or "/".
Recommended format is mp4 container, video codec H.264, audio codec AAC...
Also, disconnect the output, otherwise as soon as you video starts, it will be required to stop ;-)


I was finally fed up with all the big boxes of toys in our living room, and made some space in our Billy shelf with doors. I realised that Pampers boxes fit in there and I am still able to close the doors.
Pampers Boxes are not exactly very pretty and homey looking, so I was searching the net for some creative deco ideas and stumbled over this (cover and lining). I followed her instructions to a T and I love the way it turned out! I am actually soo happy with it, that I think it is way to pretty to be hiding in a cupboard. So now it is holding the wooden blocks in the kids room.
For the next one I thought I might try velcro instead of glue for the outside cover so I can take it off and stick it in the washing machine or onto the next box if the first one gets to battered in the play action with my two wild cowboys.
I added some photos, that will hopefully help you with Mandies instruction but they are already pretty straight forward. I was reading them overtired and managed to follow them. I didn't add photos for every step, just for the ones I either used or did something else or I needed a while to understand the original instructions.
You then have to find the center for the bottom of the box on your piece of material.
I marked the centre of the box, then measured 5cm towards the corner of the material at each edge of the centre marking.
Iron seams and material. This will help a lot when glueing.
Glueing the sides: You start with the short sides. let your seam go over the edge onto the long side. when glueing the long side, have your ironed seams right on the edge of the box. I measured my material a little longer so it reaches into the box by ca. 3 cm all around, these where the last bits I glued.
the lining: mark the middle of each side with a needle and then measure half the box and seam allowance in each direction and mark with needle.
crossing the lines from the outside needles will make squares in each corner of your material, cut these squares out.
now sew the two sides that remain after you cut out each square together. And at last hem all around.
Now I can´t wait to get my hands on more material, to make a few more. We for sure have enough toys to stow away. I was actually amazed with how little work and time you can finish these off.
Very nice work! these are some sturdy boxes, job up cycle!
Thank you! yes they def do the job! And the boys are not exactly gentle with it! That is why I dont think it will survive forever and want to make the next one with velcro instead of glueing the outside. As they all come in the same size I can just transfer it to the next box.
Thank you! Yes thats what I liked most too! I got the material at Ikea sales and only payed about 6 € for both of them together.

Space Opera || Nicole Lee's life is going nowhere. No family, no money, and stuck in a relationship with a thug named Bungie. But, after one of Bungie's "deals" goes south, he and Nicole are whisked away by a mysterious moth-like humanoid to a strange ship called the Fyrantha...

Hard Science Fiction, Science Fiction || For Dr. Adrian Sommers, a split second of driving while distracted leads to tragedy—and obsession. His family destroyed, he devotes his entire being to developing Soulminder, a technology that might have saved his son as he wavered on the edge of death. Sommers's vision is to capture a dying person's life essence and hold it safely in stasis while physicians heal the body from injury or disease. Years of experimentation finally end in success—but those who recognize Soulminder's possibilities almost immediately corrupt its original concept to pursue dangerous new frontiers: body-swapping, obstruction of justice, extortion, and perhaps even immortality.

Nicole Lee's life is going nowhere. No family, no money, and stuck in a relationship with a thug named Bungie. But, after one of Bungie's "deals" goes south, he and Nicole are whisked away by a mysterious moth-like humanoid to a strange ship called the Fyrantha.
Once aboard, life on the ship seems too good to be true. All she has to do is work on one of the ship's many maintenance crews. However, she learned long ago that nothing comes without a catch. When she's told to keep quiet and stop asking questions, she knows she is on to something. Nicole soon discovers that many different factions are vying for control of the Fyrantha, and she and her friends are merely pawns in a game beyond their control. But, she is tired of being used, and now Nicole is going to fight.

Their review of eight long-running studies has found strong evidence of an association between smoking and mental illness, which they suggest is most likely caused by nicotine.
Associate Professor James Scott said the findings raised serious concerns about the increasing use of nicotine through e-cigarettes by young adults.
"People who smoke tobacco have an approximately twofold increased risk of developing schizophrenia or psychosis," Dr Scott said.
Dr Scott said e-cigarettes were often reported to be safe, and marketing was directed towards young people.
"More research is urgently needed to examine the association between e-cigarette use and psychosis, particularly in adolescents and young adults," Dr Scott said.

Yes, There Are Neutrinos Zipping Through The Cosmos
Antarctic particle detector's findings validated
By Alexandra Ossola
The IceCube Lab with its observations
IceCube Collaboration via University of Wisconsin News
Back in 2013, the scientists running the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica were pretty sure they had found what they were looking for: cosmic neutrinos, neutrally charged subatomic particles that can give researchers insights into some of the universe's most mysterious machinations. After sifting through all the data, the researchers are now even more certain of their findings, according to a paper published today in the journal Physical Review Letters.
Neutrinos are made from radioactive decay in some of the highest-energy spots in the universe, like black holes and exploding stars, and yet they pass through molecules constantly without affecting them. They can act as "astronomical messengers," as IceCube lab's web site notes, carrying unadulterated information about their sources across the universe.
But every once in a while neutrinos collide with other particles, emitting a tiny spark. And the IceCube lab has been uniquely positioned to detect them, with thousands of optical sensors deep in the Antarctic ice. IceCube recorded over 35,000 reactions in two years. Though the researchers initially thought they had only detected two high-energy events, this recent study confirms that they had in fact detected about 20. They had found the cosmic neutrinos they were looking for.
In theory, IceCube's observations could trace the neutrinos all the way back to their source. That could tell astronomers a lot about how the neutrinos were made, about the early universe, and about the inner-workings of black holes and star clusters at the center of galaxies. In short, the discovery "heralds a new form of astronomy," in which researchers trace neutrinos' trajectories, as the press release states.

So the problem is, that every 30 seconds my service creates a new instance of the OrderBLL and then runs a method to see if there are any new orders in the Data base.
So every 30 seconds I create a new entityObject that is not being disposed of. the old implementation of the code was written using the using statement.
public bool HasNewOrders(){

    using(var entityObject = new entityObject(dbconnectionString)){
       var newOrders = entityObject.GetNewOrders();
   }
   //some logic
}

The problem with using this using statement is I cannot mock out the entityObject and easily write unit tests on any methods inside this OrderBLL class.
I tried disposing of it with a dispose method inside the OrderLineDal and once i got the data called dispose. That worked well the first iteration but the following iterations, the next 30 seconds, it would say that the entityObject was disposed of and cannot be used. (doesn't make sense to me, since I am creating a new one every time?)
Is there a way I can implement this repository pattern and still dispose of all the new entityObjects so I can mock the DAL out for unit testing?
I am working with EF 4. and it was not set up Code First, so I do not have POCO.

A: Ideally you would want to create your context outside of your OrderBLL (search google for Repository pattern).
public class OrderRepository : IOrderRepository, IDisposable
{
    private readonly IOrderDBContext _dbContext;
    // poor mans dependency injection
    public OrderRepository() : this(new OrderDbContext("YourConnectionString")
    {}

    public OrderRepository(IOrderDBContext dbContext)
    {
        if (dbContext == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("dbContext");
        _dbContext = dbContext;
    }

    public bool GetNewOrders(){
        return _dbContext.Orders.Where(o => o.IsNew==true);
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {
      if (_dbContext != null) _dbContext.dispose();
    }
}

public class OrderBLL : IOrderBLL
{
    private readonly IOrderRepository _repository;

    public OrderRepository(IOrderRepository repository)
    {
        if (repository == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("dbContext");
        _repository = repository;
    }

    public bool HasNewOrders(){
        var newOrders = _repository.GetNewOrders();
        if (newOrders==null) return false;
        return newOrders.Count() > 0;
    }

}

[Test]
public void HasNewOrders_GivenNoNNewOrdersRetunedFromRepo_ReturnsFalse()
{
  // test using nunit and nsubstitute

  // Arrange
  var repository = Substitue.For<IOrderRepository>();
  var emptyOrderList = new List<Order>();
  repository.GetNewOrders().Returns();
  var orderBLL = new OrderBLL(repository);
  // Act
  var result = orderBLL.HasNewOrders();
  // Assert
  Assert.Equals(false, result);
}

Now you can inject your context into this class and easily test your business logic.  Eventually you will need to create your dbContext and should also always expose this.  I would suggest having a look at a DI container like Castle Windsor to manage the life of your objects, although in a service you may just want to manually create and dispose your context as close to the code entry point as possible (e.g. in the main method)
