Lion Rampant - Little Smelling... 3 Player Battle Report
This weekend the three of us decided we'd like to play Lion Rampant. I looked around online and found this 3 player scenario: "Find the Lady 3 Player Lion Rampant Game on Graham's Wargames".
After a little bit of looking through our figure collections and we found that we had enough of the right models to play it, though we did vary the 3 retinues very slightly.
The game started with the Mounted Men-at-Arms of Sir Simon and Sir Roger fighting a multi-turn duel, which Sir Simon won, just. Meanwhile Sir William struggled to get anything to move. Eventually the retinues started to reach buildings, but every one was empty. This suited Sir William, who just set them on fire.
Eventually Sir Simon managed to steal the relic from the church (one of the 10 left ears of St Cuthbert known in Christendom) and Sir William found the Heiress in the very last building. He struggled for a while to beat the Militia, but eventually his Foot Men-at-arms routed them. In good time as well! As he retreated with the Heiress Sir Roger reached him with the remains of his Mounted Sergeants but they were beaten off easily.
In the end Sir William (me) won with the Heiress off the table (2 Glory) and 3 buildings burned (3 Glory). Sir Simon (Brendan) was second with the relic (5 Glory), but without the Heiress (-3 Glory). Sir Roger (Ed) looked on at the burned village (-1 Glory) and looted Church (-1 Glory), and realised the mission for him had been a disaster...
We all enjoyed the scenario thoroughly. Having a real story play out made the normally enjoyable scenarios in Lion Rampant even better and we really want to try something like this again.
We had a couple of minor issues:
Lion Rampant doesn't have rules for buildings. We ruled they would act as Cover and Difficult Terrain.
The Bidowers didn't really do anything. That may have been down to where they were placed however.
Sir William's forces march, haltingly, towards the centre of Little Smelling
Sir Roger's Mounted Sergeants race to the centre of the town.
Sir William's Foot Sergeants manage to speed up a little on their advance. Sir Roger's Mounted Sergeants can be seen coming in from the other side of town The locals wonder if it's time to hide.
Sir Roger's and Sir Simon's Mounted Men-at-arms charge and counter-charge in a whirling melee for many turns.
Sir William's Foot Sergeants sets fire to a building.
Sir William's Mounted Sergeants set fire to another building and his Foot Sergeants find the Heiress.
Sir Simon's forces search each building carefully as they advance into the town.
Having found the Heiress Sir William's Foot Men-at-arms attempt to run only to be caught by the remnants of Sir Roger's Mounted Sergeants.
But they soon repel them and make a run for it.
Sir William's Foot Sergeants form a Schiltron to hold back Sir Simon's forces
Meanwhile Sir Simon's Foot Sergeants manage to sneak off the table with the Left Ear of St Cuthbert.... but is it the real one?

Lion Rampant - Little Smelling... 3 Player Battle ...


Hey all. Got some time together got this little guy horned and scraped to the exact dimensions of the original bow. The cross section is kind of between the gallion and squashed rectangle cross section that seemed to be most common. So, the bow essentially has a slightly trapped back.
Below is linked a video of it going to 25" on the tiller. I pulled it to 26" afterwards where it hit 90lbs. It was bolt straight from the get go and now has just shy of 1" string follow. I only needed to scrap the inner/mid limb of the right limb to get balance and this is what it looks like now.
You'll notice that I have duct tape on one limb. That is actually duct tape with a piece of paper under it so it doesn't stick to the bow and leave residue. It is basically a catcher bandage if that spot decides to pop. It is not on there tight but simply a loose band to catch whatever wood might pop off. To my surprise the second growth spot has not budged. I haven't heard a peep and upon inspection there is no gaps observed. Granted I did soak it in CA glue before scraping off rasp marks. So i wonder if that is doing the job or if there is more sound wood than I thought.
Overall I am happy with the progress but also worried. I still have at least 3 inches but preferably 5 inches to go on the tiller. You'll notice the tiller is a bit elliptical. This makes me think the original bow probably was designed for a draw length of between 28-30". You'd think if such a short bow was meant for 31-32" it would bend more in the section of a circle, more in the handle. Maybe I underestimate yew . I still have inches for the belly to pop and/or just have the bow blow overall because of its short length. I did burnish the back in hopes of adding some distance.
Just wanted to update everyone. Thank you for watching!
It looks great and so does your shop. Be careful removing wood now. When I got my warbow to that point it seemed that rubbing my hand down it would cost me a pound or two.
Glad to hear things are going well.
That's quite a wide block on your tiller and I can see it's curved but is it curved enough to not interfere with the bend?
When you draw the bow, only a 5-6cm area of your hand is resisting the pull!
If That block swivels, I'd turn it around for less surface area.
DC: Thank you. Yeah I'm only going to remove wood for tiller faults. So hopefully none more but we'll see. I'm wanting to see what the bow on Mary Rose would've potentially hit in terms of draw weight. Yeah 1mm too much and you can totally miss your goal draw weight. I know the feeling. I bet this thing will lose 5lbs alone in set if it makes it as far as I want.
meanewood: It is a wide block but so far the wings have not come close to interfering with bend on any of my bows. I suppose a small plains bow it could be a problem. It's so big because a slightly smaller one I had before split right off and contributed to a broken bow. So, I made it chunkier and turned the grain parallel. It could probably stand to lose a little size though I agree.
Here it is drawn to 28"
Shortly after I pulled it to 29". It's still in one piece! So for the sake of science at 29" it weighed 99lbs. I've only shaved off a tenth of a mm here and there to round out the tiller. So, with the one inch shorter original bow at 29" it would maybe reach 103-105lbs. It is an interesting finding to think even the smallest bow on the ship was round abouts 100lbs probably. Any tiller critiques are welcome. I think I will shoot it at 29" for a bit and then see about those last 2 inches. Do you guys think it has a chance at 31"?
2" of extra draw is only 2/3" of actual tip movement... it probably be fine.
You can probably take the tape off now Can we have a picture of the "spot" now it's done?
In general, the further you pull a bow the more the middle wants to bend. That means if you've got an elliptical tiller a few inches less than your ideal draw length you're almost certainly safe, provided the limbs are bending well and you have no danger areas. You'll just end up with a more circular tiller.
Don't forget that smallest and shortest are two different things - there are SMALLER bows on the ship, but not SHORTER. Yours won't be the lightest by a long way, as some of them were longer and smaller, making them quite a bit less heavy. Also, using American timber will give you slightly inaccurate results and then you have to work out whether the American timber yours is made from is good, average or bad for its species and so on. That's why it's virtually impossible to pigeonhole the MR bows into a weight range. It's also why personally I prefer to always copy one specific bow when I'm making a Mary Rose replica instead of falling into the trap of making "a Mary Rose style bow" because the ever changing results are so interesting. The fact that the same dimensions applied to timber from the same tree can give me 130lb, 140lb and 180lb shows that nicely.
Del the Cat: Thank you much. I've always wondered how much tip travel actually happened per inch of draw length. Sounds good.
DC: You're probably right. I will have pics up after work tonight or tomorrow morning.
WillS: Thank you. Yeah it seems still decently elliptical at 29" so hopefully it'll manage to include the handle in the last 2"... and not blow. Interesting. I did not know there were narrower bows on the ship in terms of girth. Well, just as there are drastic differences from piece to piece of English, Italian, or other European yew, I imagine there are some major discrepancies between pieces of American yew. I've seen that in action for sure. I bet there's a good deal of overlap between the two species but I agree with your point. Taxus brevifolia tends to be slightly lower in SG to Taxus bacatta. This piece in specific is by appearance very good. It has chocolate brown heartwood and an average ring count of 65-75 rpi. But in actual performance on the tree it seems to be taking set and rebounding just about the same as the two 40rpi staves I've worked with previously. Its harder to cut with a scraper than other yew I've worked but doesn't feel exceptionally more dense, but definitely not less. I know these are kind of qualitative markers and not hard numbers, but it is something. It's the best we can do versus going back in time before the wreck and using the bows before they sank .
DC: https://imgur.com/Ibn0MiL and https://imgur.com/wdTVF6G Here are the pictures of the limb spot after making it to 29". I shot it at 29" yesterday and it was a wonderfully smooth shooter. I will try to get it back to 31" though because I will definitely accidentally overdraw it since I'm not used to anchoring at 29".
That should be ok as it is near the neutral plane so neither under tension nor compression.
Thanks for the pictures. It still makes me do a little double take. it will probably be fine but if it does break I'd bet a dollar that it breaks there. One side looks fine but the other is a bit iffy. I guess it just depends on how deep the iffy stuff goes. It could be skin deep or it could go 7/8 of the way through. It looks gorgeous and bends beautifully though. Good job!
IT MADE IT! Boy it takes some juevos to bring a bow you're not so sure about to full draw. I pulled it to 31.5" on the tree for safety and here it is at my full 31" anchor in the hand. At 31" on the tree it weighed in at 109#. I can't wait to shoot it in and then get a finish on it. It's in the teens Fahrenheit and dry here so definitely not good self bow weather. But this weekend hopefully a shoot video will be upon us. I am very thankful to any and all of you who contributed in this thread. It is a great feeling to have the bow you envisioned in the stave make it to real life.
In regards to previous comments- DelCat: I see what you are saying. I think It would've been most scary had I reduced sap and it ended up in the tension plane. Thank you very much for your help. It shall leave a beautiful two tone effect in the bow.
DC: No problem. Imgur helps streamline it while keeping good quality pics. Yeah It's still spooky to look at and we truly can't call it a bow till its been shot through at 31" but its appearance hasn't changed at all since the beginning. Thank you very much for your advice and compliments. I'm trying to dial in the proper tiller in terms of round arc and elliptical through every bow I make. I think the fact that this one didn't blow is a show of improvement.
Most important thing in a Yew warbow is decent sapwood.
I had some wood from a log that had been lying on the ground, First Warbow blew, but it did have a big knot... second exploded.... third one, I sawed off the sapwood and glued on a strip of yew sapwood from my secret stash . This one didn't blow... same heart wood, decent sapwood.
Man that must've been a tough laminating job having to get those two pieces to marry well. Yeah I enjoy a good sap heart barrier both to look at and also the feeling of reassurance it won't blow. Just got this one it tru oiled and polished so hopefully will make finished post soon. Thanks again Del.

Jennie Ann McAfee is making a habit of allegedly targeting the weakest—and strongest—members of society. The habitual offender a few weeks ago allegedly broke into the home of a Flagler County Sheriff's employee. On Wednesday, she was arrested for first defrauding a 77-year-old woman who was convalescing in a nursing home. Last year, she was arrested for defrauding a 79-year-old man. She's been booked at the jail almost a dozen times since 2008 on burglary, robbery and probation violation charges, among others.
Her latest arrest on Wednesday is related to incidents that allegedly developed between early July and this week. While a 77-year-old victim was convalescing in a nursing home, McAfee and another person had access to the woman's checkbook. McAfee, a resident of 19 Wood Arbor Lane, was living across the street from the elderly woman. According to McAfee's arrest report, she and another woman wrote six checks off of the elderly woman's bank account, totaling $700. They then approached a 75-year-old acquaintance of theirs and asked him to cash the checks for them. They said they had no proper ID to cash the checks themselves.
The acquaintance would later tell police that he didn't know the checks were stolen. He gave them the money.
The two checks were returned, unpaid, so he was out the $400, which he has not recovered.
McAfee is currently being held without bond at the Flagler County jail on the fraud charges, but also on charges dating back to an incident in May, in her neighborhood, but on Wood Aspen Road.
The afternoon of May 3, Flagler County Sheriff deputy Frank Gamarra was dispatched to that area in reference to a woman in a black jogging suit seen coming out of a house that, according to the caller to 911, belongs to a cop.
The rear window on the north side of the residence had been smashed out, the screen taken off and bent in two. The rear slider screen had also been removed, according to the arrest report. The window and slider that were damaged were located underneath the overhanging roof. Damage amounted to around $200.
McAfee denied being anywhere near the house that had been burglarized, and went on to say that she'd merely been riding her bike, cutting in and out of backyards to get back to her own house. She said she'd gotten the brick from a friend to do some decorating in her yard.
No stolen objects were reported, however.
McAfee was arrested for burglary.
Can she go to prision now?
Glad for the result, but this wasn't exactly Sherlock Holmes vs. Professor Moriarty here.
Petty thieves and rocket scientists are obviously two different things.
Was she, or anyone connected with her, anywhere near Las Palmas when those burglaries took place? It looks like she has a pattern of targeting the elderly. The fact that she has branched out to an employee of the sheriff's office just illustrates her sociopathy and contempt for society in general. Anything for a buck! This woman, if she gets bond, need to be graced with an ankle bracelet to monitor her movements until her case is adjucated.
Not nearly as old as our proof-reading.
You'll get it down eventually P.
When she gets out, how about a one way bus ticket out of the state? I doubt she was ever gainfully employed here.
Really, that's your solution…pass the buck and make her someone else's problem? Do you think that Palm Coast and Florida are the only places where people deserve to be safe? Do you not have relatives and friends living in other states that you might be concerned about?
ASF – I doubt she knew who lived in the house she targeted for the burglary. It was probably chosen at random as a good looking target.
Non-violent offenders with patterns of petty crimes like these typically have an underlying issue – sometimes it's a mental health issue but most frequently it's a substance abuse habit they are trying to support. Perhaps if this woman gets some help while she's serving her time her life can be turned around and she can become a productive member of society, instead of continuing to cost the community money through a life of crime.
It's hard to understand how this woman, who appears to be in her thirties, hasn't been ordered into court-ordered treatment before now, as a condition of probation, with intensive supervision and the administration of random tox screens. Her problems, whatever they are (and they are obviously of a serious and long-standing nature) would not seem to be amenable to outpatient treatment only. If drugs/alcohol are her issue, she should be ordered into INPATIENT LONG-TERM treatment and, yes, any prayer of successful treatment would have to be located far away from the "people, places and things" that have contributed to her use. Upon release from LONG-TERM INPATIENT treatment, she would need immediate placement in a Halfway House/Sober Living environment. Even with all this intervention, she is high risk for relapse–hence the need for intensive probationatry supervision wherever she goes. Any financial assistance she receives should be handled by a court-appointed guardian, until such time as the court warrants her to be responsible. This is particularly true if she has mental health issues, possibly concurrent with substance abuse issues. It sounds expensive (in fact, it ain't going to be cheap, if it's any good) but without these interventions, she will be housed in prison at an even greater expense to the public and, upon release, will be doing more of the same for sure–soon enough and repeatedly.
Obvious con artist. Con artists are classified as non violent offenders. Thus the revolving door every time she gets arrested.
When she's sprung from jail perhaps she'll discover that all her possessions at home turn up missing?
If I remember correctly, this chic has been getting in trouble since High School….
I wish that banks had some kind of program that would protect the accounts of the elderly from thieves who illegally access the older person's account, but that's another story.
To tulip – they used to…it was called Custeomer Service. The Bank employees used to know their customers on a personal basis and would recognize something unusual. Today, it is all about the almighty dollar, keeping costs down and employees who just wait for the day to end. A Shame.

What About Spilled Oil That Doesn't Reach Shore?
Scientists studying 'natural' oil spills fear for a sea floor about to be overwhelmed by detritus from the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Marcia Meier
As the oily goo from the massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico begins to come ashore, the immediate concern is for the devastating effects it will have on the shore birds and sea life in the coastal regions. But what of the long-term effects on the ocean itself?
David Valentine, a biologist with the University of California, Santa Barbara, worries as much about the effects of the hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude settling on the sea floor, where much of the gushing oil is likely to settle.
While the obvious immediate danger is to the coastal areas — and oil has already started to wash up on island beaches at the Breton National Wildlife Refuge and other areas off the Mississippi and Louisiana coasts — Valentine said there should be equal concern for the shallow shelf waters and, ultimately, the deep-sea floor.
Valentine has been studying oil deposits in the Santa Barbara Channel off the California coast for more than 10 years, focusing on the organisms that eat petroleum and tars that seep naturally out of the channel floor. More than 100 barrels (or 4,200 gallons) of oil a day ooze from seeps just 2 miles offshore, and much of it ends up on Santa Barbara's beaches. It's been described as a "permanent natural oil spill."
Valentine and his co-investigator, Chris Reddy of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts, two years ago reported the discovery of microscopic creatures that eat oil on the sea floor.
"It takes a special organism to live a half mile deep in the earth and eat oil for a living," Valentine said. "It's actually a whole consortium of organisms — some that are eating the oil and producing intermediate products, and then those intermediate products are converted by another group to natural gas."
This illustration shows the route traveled by oil leaving the sub-seafloor reservoir as it travels through the water column to the surface and ultimately falls back to the seafloor. The oil remaining after weathering falls in a plume shape onto the seafloor where it remains in the sediment. Click to enlarge. (Jack Cook, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
Also, because the deep ocean is an anaerobic environment, and very cold, the breakdown process is much slower than would happen with, for example, bioremediation, where organisms that eat oil are sprayed on slicks to break them down naturally. (Take a look at a look at the work of environmental microbiologist Terry Hazen here.)
But the spill in the Gulf of Mexico is on a scale that overwhelms the organisms that would typically digest it, Valentine explained.
"It's really a matter of amount, of how much ends up depositing on the sea floor. You've got micro-organisms that are capable of consuming components of the oil, but they are finicky. They're not a magic bullet by any sense, and they act on their own time frame."
In the case of the Gulf spill, there's too much oil, and it's happened too fast.
"It's just overwhelming the capacity of biology to deal with it. The longer the oil stays afloat, the better off it's going to be," Valentine said.
In addition to the oil's impact, he worries about the potential effects of the surfactant — essentially a detergent — that is being sprayed on the slicks and pumped into the Gulf to break up the oil. Because the surfactant's chemical makeup is a proprietary mixture, its exact makeup is not known, and Valentine worries how those chemicals will affect coastal wildlife and sea life over time.
One result of using dispersants is that thicker blobs of oil may be created extending under the surface, making tracking the oil far more difficult.
"It's going to be a very interesting fallout pattern that comes from that. We need to know where. The beach is the place you really don't want it. The next place you don't want it is the shallow shelf. The place most people don't care about is the deep water. I care about the organisms there that are likely to be impacted."
The deep ocean is home to a rich assortment of organisms and creatures, including mussels, snails, crabs, shrimp, fish and large sea worms. Many live around deep-sea vents where extremes of temperature and pressure create difficult environments. How those colonies of life would be affected by blankets of thick crude is unknown.
"It certainly has the potential to impact the critters of the deep ocean. It may not have a big economic impact, but it will affect the ecosystems," Valentine said.
Oil is made up of thousands of different hydrocarbons that can break down by the action of light, bacteria or oxygen into chemicals such as aldehydes, ketones or sulfur compounds. They can also become acids, and many are potentially toxic, Valentine said.
Valentine also studies methane hydrates, a solid ice that forms when methane contacts cold water under the intense pressure of the deep ocean. Methane hydrates are the reason that British Petroleum engineers encountered problems over the weekend while placing a collection tower over the ruptured pipeline. Methane hydrates are stable at low temperatures and high pressure, as at the ocean floor, but they coagulate — kind of like cholesterol in your veins — and in this case they simply clogged up the top of the containment structure, Valentine explained.
As soon as BP put the tower in place, the hole at the top of the tower became plugged, casting doubt on whether that proposed fix is viable. Meanwhile, the oil continues to spew out of the ruptured pipeline at a rate of about 5,000 barrels, or about 210,000 gallons, per day. At between 150 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit, it's like a blistering Jacuzzi jet shooting into the open ocean, Valentine said.
Until someone figures out how to harness it, the devastation will continue, Valentine said.
"The reality is it could certainly go for months or even years."

1. Guacamole, or just avocados in general. I don't discriminate.
2. Salad. It's slightly embarrassing when we head to Fresh Choice. I really do love leafy greens.
Quite possibly one of my favorite foods, I have never been able to stick to the 2 tbsp. serving size rule.
I'm not proud of the fact that I can singley handly consume the entire 8 oz. tub on one sitting but facts are facts. In fact, it's one of the big reasons I started making my own. Those $3 tubs quickly add up in my weekly habit.
Over the years, I've made a million variations of hummus adding and tweaking ingredients here and there, but this is hands down my favorite hummus recipe. I adapted it from the Barefoot Contessa.
At first glance you might think that 3 cups is too much hummus to have around, but once you taste it you'll be glad you have that much. Maybe next time you'll even consider doubling it. It really is delicious on everything: roasted vegetables, salads, tossed with hot pasta, sandwiches, or just eat by the spoonful.
The other great thing about this hummus? It's essentially oil-free. I don't understand recipes that call for almost a cup of oil. That kind defeats the point of hummus, don't ya think? You could drizzle olive oil on at the end like I do for more flavor and presentation but you don't have to.
The BEST hummus! Creamy hummus that's ready in just 6 minutes. Homemade hummus tastes so much better than store hummus!
Add all ingredients from garlic to hot sauce in a food processor or high-powered blender.
Process until very smooth, about 3 minutes.
Add ice cubes and process until incorporated.
Transfer to serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil (if using) sprinkle paprika on top!
Health is wealth……….. Keep distance from Addiction…..
I think I could challenge you on a hummus-eating competition. 😉 I'm crazy about the stuff too! For at least a full year when I was on campus, my lunch every day was a full container of hummus with raw vegetables. It just never got old, and there was never anything else nearly as delicious.
The recipe is from a now-deceased Lebanese friend of mine. It has always been a winner for the 40 years I have been making it! Never buy store bought! Don't forget to heat the falafel or pita bread!
I use a complete compound garlic bulb, peeled, 1 can of chickpeas (400g or 14oz) the juice of 2 medium lemons, 5 tablespoons of Algerian Tahini, 1/2 teaspoon regular table salt, 1/2 cup Italian virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon sugar (or liquid clover honey), I use a Braun-type hand wand blender until creamy smooth. Then top with the thinnest layer of olive oil for 2 reasons… it 1. adds flavour, but 2. stops the hummus from drying, which allows it to be kept up to about 10 days in a 4°C (39°F) fridge. It does not deteriorate.
Wow !! delicious .. Mouth watering decoration….
This is the best hummus! Do you know how many servings?

Marvin Harrison Jr
Ohio State has made a major signing for its class of 2021 by securing a commitment from Marvin Harrison Jr to sign for the Buckeyes. Harrison, who stands 6 ft. 4 and weights 174 lbs. is a wide receiver who currently plays for St Joseph's Prep School in Philadelphia and is ranked 87th is the top 100 recruits for this year and is the top ranked receiver in the state of Pennsylvania. One of his current teammates, quarterback Kyle McCord has also committed to Ohio State for next season. Harrison has had 3o catches so far this season for over 610 yards
Marvin Harrison Jr Offers
Harrison Jr had offers from many colleges across the nation and is reported to have had at least 25 scholarship offers. The list includes Arkansas, Baylor, Georgia Tech, Florida, Michigan and Michigan State, Nebraska, Pittsburgh, Penn State, LSU and Texas A&M, Virginia and Virginia Tech as well as his fathers alma mater, Syracuse.
Joining Kyle McCord
Harrison Jr has admitted that his friendship with QB Kyle McCord and McCord's decision to commit to the OSU Buckeyes was a major factor in his own decision to also head for Columbus Ohio. Both helped St Joseph's win a PIAA Class 6A state title last season. Both quarterback and receiver were known to stay behind after high school practice to run through some additional drills and McCord has said Harrison Jr thinks like a quarterback and is a physically very strong player. Harrison Jr said that he felt Ohio State was a school where he could progress and develop not just as an athlete but also as a person. He has been highly impressed with both Head Coach Ryan Day and Wide Receiver coach Brian Hartline and was reported as saying that he felt both coaches could help him reach his full potential. Harrison Jr was also reported as being highly complimentary about Ohio State's academic record.
Selected Ohio State
Harrison Jr said he narrowed his choice down to 3 teams, LSU, Ohio State and also the Florida Gators and said he made his mind up after visiting LSU for their game against Florida over the 2nd weekend in October. Harrison Jr said that he felt the time was right to make the decision before his school moved into the playoffs. His current coach at St Joseph's, Tim Roken, has been highly impressed with Harrison's football IQ and his background and is in no doubt he will be a great success at Ohio State.

The German post offices abroad were an extraterritorial network of German post offices in foreign countries with a significant German commercial interest to provide mail service where the local services were generally deemed unsafe or unreliable, such as China, Morocco, Ottoman Empire and Zanzibar. The system ended during or shortly after World War I.

The cancellation mark of the mail processed by the German system in the early period are the only means of identifying the point of use; such stamps are known as "Vorläufer" (forerunner) stamps. Later stamps are identified by overprints of the place of issuance even when not for postal use. German abroad stamps started appearing in the late 19th century and reached their heyday at the beginning of the 20th century.

Stamps from German post offices abroad are popular with collectors and some can be valuable. In a 2006 auction, a 40 Pfennig Germania hand-stamped "China" (Tientsin issue) stamp from 1900 realized 100,152 Euros.

Other countries maintained postal offices abroad. In the latter part of the 19th century and into the 20th century and having extraterritorial post offices were a perceived indication of a nation's international power.

Securing its 2nd consecutive win, Rayo Vallecano is delighted with improving their rank in the league table. The squad catapulted to the 10th spot after the said victory and looks eager in securing another round of three (3) points in their upcoming match.
In terms of team form, Rayo Vallecano seems to fare well. After falling into three (3) consecutive losses, the two victories can be considered as a good respond.
Sevilla's Unai Emery is proud of his team's performance against Granada. The squad thrashed the former with five (5) goals, thus, further imposing themselves in the top-flight league.
Sevilla currently holds the 4th spot of the league table and is one of the sports betting favorites to make it in the Champions League next season.
There's a strong possibility for Villarreal to exploit its home court advantage against La Real in their upcoming match. The club just earned its 2-0 victory against the relegation favorite, Cordoba last week. The win looks a bit easy considering the wide difference in the squad's form and experience. But definitely, Villarreal will not have an easy time scoring a win against an eager Real Sociedad.
Real Sociedad is hopeful that it will continue its impressive winning streak and avoid relegation in the next season. Evidently, the appointment of David Moyes caused improvements in the squad, which helped them nail a 3-0 win against Elche. Carlos Vela was also spectacular after nailing a hat-trick in the said match. If such performance continues, it will be easier for La Real to return to its winning ways.

This weekend was blustery to say the least! It was basically an undiagnosed tropical storm. Lots of wind, tons of rain and a mostly indoors weekend.
So, Saturday we ventured out to the movies and saw The Lion King in 3D. Rather, Husband and I watched it in 3D. Lallie refused to wear the glasses and I wonder how she didn't end up with a headache!
Between the movie and game night, we were up in my crafting room. Lallie played with her dollhouse, colored and helped me sew and I made two dresses, a skirt and a shirt. I haven't embroidered the name on the shirt yet.
Just curious though. Have I told you how much I LOVE my new sewing machine?
If you like this skirt pattern, let me know. I'm selling them for $25.00 shipped, custom sized and fabrics. Just email me at slpreppy@gmail.com to discuss. Yes....I'm trying to build back up my inventory to reopen my etsy shop!
Saturday was also U.K.'s 13th birthday. He's an old, old dog but still as sprite as can be. That's 91 in dog years if you didn't know. Yes, that's old.
Sunday, we took "Barbie" out for a ride (that's Lallie's nickname for our 140,000 mile massive Suburban for boat towing, dog hauiling and mulch transporting).
We ventured out to the beach to watch the 11 foot waves and they were impressive! Near one particular area of the island, the waves hit some rocks and sprayed up over a house! I became soaked at one point (helping to contribute to my beach blown hairdo). Husband wouldn't put Lallie down as the sand would just pelt her poor little legs and it stings!
The picture doesn't do the waves justice, they were huge and anyone would be nuts to be out there! Even the hard-core surfers stayed indoors.
Here's a natural beach blowout hairdo in the making. As you can see, I just love the pink sparkly $9.99 CVS glasses Lallie bought for me a while back.
See, Lallie loves the pink sunglasses!
I'll leave you with a video of the winds. I'm not kidding, it was windy and these were sustained, so it was this heavy all weekend long.
Yes, please open back up your Etsy shop!!! I would love that little outfit for my girls. That is adorable!!!!!!!
what kind of sewing machine do you have? that outfit is precious!
oh how i love my embroidery/sewing machine! it's quite addictive going through all those applique websites and if you hit em right you can get the downloads for like .49 sometimes and a lot of sites have free ones too :) your little one for sure will be stylin'!
That outfit is the cutest thing I have ever seen!!!
That is adorable! I didn't mean to see it, but I saw the email where Bryan has ordered a sewing machine and serger for my birthday next month! I know some gals would not be the least bit excited, but I can hardly wait!
Looks like a wonderful weekend The Christmas outfit is adorable.
Time is Marchin' Across my Under Eyes - HELP!

Nani Has Big Background In TFI
Natural Star Nani, Nivetha Thomas, Surabhi and Srinivas Avasarala played the lead roles in the latest super hit film Gentleman. The film is running successfully in all the areas and hence the makers celebrated the film success yesterday in Hyderabad. Speaking at the event, Nani spoke about his background in the film industry.
"The success and failure are not permanent for any film. But what is permanent is the respect you earn from the success of a film. I have earned a lot of respect with gentleman. I failed to impress in the dual role with jenda Pai Kapiraju. But people accepted me in dual role in the film Gentleman. I feel that I have achieved a double success with Gentleman. I am excited when Mohan krishna garu narrated this story to me and it got doubled when I came to know that my dearest friend Srinivas Avasarala is a part of the project." said Nani.
Adding further, Nani revealed, "I have no background in the film industry when I made my debut. But once we become successful, Audiences will become out biggest background and especially in this case, they are my background and I have a biggest background in the film industry."

Darren Way admits he may have to alter Yeovil Town's style of play after a third successive game without a win.
Impressive away victories at Notts County and Newport County marked out the Glovers as a team to watch in League Two this season.
But opposition teams have worked out a way to stifle Yeovil's attacking strengths - with Crawley the latest to successfully shackle the Glovers.
Way said: "The way we have been playing is quite open and whether I've got to change the shape that we use is something I've got to look at.
"At times we are very open, which is something that has worked well for us so far this season and we don't want to fundamentally change what we have been doing.
"We need a response at Colchester on Tuesday night now and I'm confident that we'll get that.
But the Glovers manager also admitted his side fell short of the standards he demands as their three-game winning streak away from home came to an end.
He added: "The players spoke in the dressing room after the game and they know that we didn't reach the required standards at Crawley. We didn't play like men.
Crawley went ahead against the run of play on 25 minutes. Former Glover Lewis Young crossed from the right and Ollie Palmer was on hand to convert from close range at the back post to make it 1-0.
Yeovil equalised three minutes before the break, with Jordan Green and Olufela Olomola combining to set up Carl Dickinson, who drilled a low shot past Glenn Morris into the corner of the net.
The Glovers then netted again before half-time, only for Olomola's close-range header to be ruled out for offside.
In the second half, the hosts regained their lead. Sub Ashley Nathaniel-George cut in from the left wing before dispatching a powerful shot past Nathan Baxter from 25 yards to make it 2-1 in the home side's favour.
And as Yeovil committed men forward in the closing stages in search of an equaliser, Crawley broke clear to make it 3-1 and seal victory.
This time it was their captain, Filipe Morais, who advanced to the edge of the area before blasting past Baxter to clinch three points.
Crawley (4-4-2): Morris; Young, N'Gala, Vincelot, Maguire; Morais, Payne, Randall (Nathaniel-George 58), Gambin (Poleon 75); Camara, Palmer. Subs not used: Mersin, Doherty, Francomb, Allarakhia.
Yeovil (4-4-2): Baxter; James, Mahmutovic, Donnellan, Dickinson; Gray, Pattison (Arquin 34), D'Almeida, Browne (Fisher 63); Olomola, Green (Patrick 79). Subs not used: Phillips, Ojo, Rogers, Mugabi.

Q: Visual Studio 2015 tells me that dependencies are not met although one is not for Windows I use Visual Studio 2015 with gulp via npm.
I installed the package browser-sync which relies on chokidar.fsevents. As I understand this dependency is only needed on MacOSX so installation fails with this error:
npm WARN notsup Not compatible with your operating system or architecture: fsevents@1.0.12

I understand this is only a warning and no error. But VS tells me that dependencies are not met:

What can I do?

A: This is a bug in the Web Tools for VS. It appears to be due to the fact that "fsevents" is listed in both "dependencies" and "optionalDependencies" for chokidar. The npm documentation says "optionalDependencies" should override in this case, but VS's logic doesn't honor that rule.
You can ignore the warning, or edit chokidar's package.json to remove the dependency.
I've logged the bug against the Web Tools. We will try to fix this in a future release.

A: The only fix working for me is to edit the package.json of chokidar, removing the fsevents dependencies. I moved them in a new element (to have a trace):
"removed_dependecies": {
    "fsevents": "^1.0.0"
},

CmiA in Africa
African Cotton
Cotton made in Africa is an initiative of the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) that helps African smallholder cotton farmers in Africa to improve their living conditions.
The CmiA standards with social, environmental, and economic criteria were designed to improve the living conditions of African smallholder farmers and promote environmentally friendly cotton production.
Agricultural Training
Economic Training
CmiA Against Child Labour
Through its training programs, Cotton made in Africa improves the living conditions of smallholder farmers and allows continuous knowledge transfer to smallholder farmers.

Bottom up: Anchoring environmental and social standards in the Ethiopian textile industry
Our work focuses primarily on the people in the African project countries. Beyond sustainable cotton cultivation, we also commit to cooperation projects.

Wear a Smile with ... Ali Dandi
As independent entrepreneurs, all cotton farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa have to make wide-ranging decisions for their small business - the cotton field - on a daily basis. People like Ali Dandi make sure that they can successfully and sustainably do so: the 48-year old works as regional trainer at a Cotton made in Africa (CmiA)-certified cotton company in Mafa-Kilda, northern Cameroun. As such, he trains smallholder cotton farmers and teaches them basic management knowledge in the so-called Farmer Business Schools. These are an inherent part of the CmiA training programme. "The trainings have really changed the lives of the farmers", reports Ali Dandi. "On the one hand, they are planning their production in advance and are able to estimate exactly what they have to do in order to reach their goals. On the other hand, they are able to maintain much better with their income and profits - to the great benefit of their families."
Trainings such as the Farmer Business School ones are a key ingredient to the Cotton made in Africa programme. The farmers, who used to lack access to basic schooling programmes, now learn how to successfully manage their small business with foresight. Which portion of the yield should be budgeted for new seeding material, how high do my reserve assets have to be and how much money do we need to feed the family and send the kids to school? These important decisions now do not have to be made solely based on intuition.
The Farmer Business Schools teach smallholder cotton farmers in the CmiA project regions important managerial basics and offer them decision support for the management of their family business. Ali Dandi and his colleagues use especially developed teaching materials such as picture blocks to illustrate to smallholder farmers how they can better estimate the market and production risks of their cotton cultivation and sensibly control their budget. Private house holding and budget management is also a training subject. For instance, Ali also explains to his participants which foods can be grown to ensure a balanced and healthy nutrition for their families.
Next to Farmer Business Schools, a second key subject lists on Ali Dandi's training agenda: the so-called Gender Trainings, which are centered around the promotion of gender equality and women's rights. In Sub-Saharan Africa, women carry out a great part of the work, both on the cotton field and at home. This is however rarely reflected in their role and position within the village communities. In addition to the principles set out in the CmiA criteria measures for the equality of men and women, Cotton made in Africa therefore puts a focus on Gender Trainings. These strengthen the role of women in the cotton sector and in the village communities. Women are schooled in modern and efficient methods for sustainable cotton cultivation according to their specific needs. Many women also get trained as so-called lead farmers, a role in which they set an example for other women in the village.
Through the Gender Trainings, the female farmers also receive easier access to loans as well as their own contracts with the regional otton companies to earn their own income. Organised into groups, they offer them a strong network and more independence. "In the course of gender trainings, a number of women's groups have been established", reports Ali Dandi. In small groups, the women plant cotton as well as other crops together. The income they generate as a group is reinvested, for example in the construction of a warehouse, in setting up a chicken farm, or in education for their children. Therefore, both the women and their entire families profit from the Gender Trainings - a considerable benefit for everyone.
Wear a Smile with ... Elisé Balimaya Kabaya
Between harvests, cotton companies have little work for the employees in their ginning plant, which is why the majority of them are employed as seasonal workers each year. Elisé Balimaya Kabaya is one of them. Since 2014, she has been working as an electrician from the first to the last day of ginning in one of the ginning plants of SOCOMA, a Cotton made in Africa partner in Burkina Faso. Right at the very beginning when starting her job, the 27-year-old woman had an accident in which she injured her hand. SOCOMA paid all of the medical costs which is by no means given in countries such as Burkina Faso. This is not the only reason why she is happy to have this job, "With the money I earn here, I can pay for my books and school fees," says Balimaya Kabaya. She has been studying for her general secondary school diploma for university entrance and will be taking the exams as an external candidate. "My biggest dream is to study electrical engineering and later find a really good job," she confesses. "But I also learn a lot on the job at SOCOMA because I can see how something that I normally just read in theory in my books works in practice." Balimaya Kabaya is one of the few women who work in the factory and the only one among the electricians. "But I have no problems with that," she says. "Everyone respects me and takes me seriously because I am good at what I do."
Wear a Smile with ... Choolwe Mweemba
Meet Choolwe Mweemba, a 28 year old smallholder cotton farmer from Simabwachi Village in the southern region of Zambia. As the mother of three boys, Choolwe has been growing cotton on her small farm since 2012. "I enjoy growing cotton because it gives me the income to support my family", she says. To keep her soil healthy, Choolwe alternates growing cotton and growing other crops and vegetables, especially maize. Ever since she received basic economic training in the so-called Farmer Business Schools, she can run her farm like a small business. "I have learnt to save money in the bank. I used to keep my earnings in the house and spent it without budgeting. Now I plan expenses and buy inputs for farming."
Wear a Smile with ... Matakon Hacda
Education is one of the most important requirements for improving the living conditions of people in Subsaharan Africa and combating causes of migration. As standard for sustainable cotton, Cotton made in Africa (CmiA) therefore puts a focus on training the participating cotton farmers in business and agriculture. CmiA also supports the fight against child labour to give as many children as possible a chance to go to school.
Matakon Hacda has a small cotton field in Mafa-Kilda, Northern Cameroun, on which he generates the proceeds that support his family. Together with his wife, he has 13 children. The fact that they do not work on the field traces back to Matakon's participation in the Cotton made in Africa initiative. All cotton farmers participating in the program have to comply with the criteria of the CmiA verification system. Child labour is an exclusion criterion in the CmiA standard. Regular audits conducted by independent verification agencies thereby ensure compliance.
The farmer trainings established by CmiA support the farmers in implementing the CmiA sustainability criteria. In the so-called farmer business schools the 42 year old Matakon has learnt a great deal about efficient and sustainable farming methods. As a consequence, he could already increase his yields significantly. Since his family now has more income, his children can go to school instead of helping on the farm. The CmiA-trainings not only convey knowledge about how to manage a cotton farm more economically and more environmentally friendly, but also raise awareness for topics such as child labour. The participating smallholder farmers gain an understanding about why child labour is bad and why it must be avoided. They learn that good schooling helps the entire family in the long run.
For Matakon Hacda, his partnership with the Cotton made in Africa has already improved the living conditions of his and his familiy: "Through the Farmer Business School training, we were able to benefit a lot, especially in the area of managing our farms and households . All in all, a lot has changed with these trainings: we have learned a lot about good farming practices, but also about child labour."
Wear a Smile with ... Isaac Banda
Isaac Banda is a very experienced cotton farmer. On his small farm in the Lundazi subregion of Zambia, he has been growing cotton since 1998. Through Cotton made in Africa, Issaac has received trainings in Good Agricultural Practices - and now also has access to affordable inputs on loan. "As a result, I have increased my cotton yields and incomes", he reports. "I have built a two bedroom house, bought a cow and diversified into two other crops." As the father of two daughters and three sons, Isaac provides for his family. "The cotton income has helped me to attain household food security and provide other household needs."
Wear a Smile with ... Bruce Chinyaka
Meet Bruce Chinyaka, CmiA smallholder farmer from Tobonte Village in southern Zambia. He is 35 years old and has two daughters and four sons. His eldest child is 15, his youngest has just been born. To support his family, Bruce startegrowing cotton back in 2001. When he joined the Cotton made in Africa initiative in 2005, he received a number of farmer trainings. "Through the trainings I have attended, I learned to diversify. Besides cotton and maize, I now grow soy and sunflower. My cotton income also gave me some capital to start up a small grocery store and support my family's day to day needs."

Cotton made in Africa (CmiA) was founded in 2005 by entrepreneur Dr. Michael Otto as an independently operating initiative. CmiA is carried by the Hamburg-based Aid by Trade Foundation (ABTF). CmiA's mission is to promote decent work for cotton farmers and cotton ginnery workers in Sub-Saharan Africa, to protect the environment and to create transparency in the textile supply chain. Instead of collecting donations, the initiative follows the principle of helping people help themselves through trade. An international alliance of textile companies and brands demands for CmiA certified cotton, integrates it into their globally spanning supply chains and pays a license fee to the initiative for using the CmiA seal. Income from licensing fees is reinvested by CmiA to achieve its mission – enabling smallholder farmers to grow cotton in accordance with CmiA values, improving their living conditions and those of their families and securing the preservation of natural resources. For consumers, products supporting Cotton made in Africa can be recognized by a small product label.

Q: Why such hype with C# lambda functions? I'm beginning to program in C# 2.0, so I have never used lambda expressions, but, why so much fuss about it? Are them just syntactic sugar around anonymous delegates, or is there something more which I can't see?

A: Having a very terse syntax makes it more likely that more things will be built around them.  Imagine a complex Linq query without any kind of syntactic sugar.

A:
Are them just syntactic sugar around
  anonymous delegates, or is there
  something more which I can't see?

Good question. The answer is complicated. First off, obviously expression trees are the big one. But there are some subtleties as well. Here are my five prolix and frequently digressing articles on the subject of how lambdas are subtly different from anonymous methods:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2007/01/10/lambda-expressions-vs-anonymous-methods-part-one.aspx
http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2007/01/11/lambda-expressions-vs-anonymous-methods-part-two.aspx
http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2007/01/12/lambda-expressions-vs-anonymous-methods-part-three.aspx
http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2007/03/26/lambda-expressions-vs-anonymous-methods-part-four.aspx
http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/2007/03/28/lambda-expressions-vs-anonymous-methods-part-five.aspx
All my articles about issues involving lambda expressions are archived here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ericlippert/archive/tags/Lambda+Expressions/default.aspx

A: Well, lambda expressions have two main things over anonymous methods:

*

*They're more concise than anonymous methods

*They can be converted to expression trees as well as delegates

Unless you're using expression trees, they're extremely similar to anonymous methods though. The difference is that often you can write several lambda expressions in one statement (chaining method calls together) without losing readability, but anonymous methods are just a bit too wordy.
By the way, it's not so much that lambda expressions are "just syntactic sugar around anonymous delegates" as that both lambda expressions and anonymous methods are "just syntactic sugar around creating delegates (and expression trees)."
Don't discount syntactic sugar though - the benefits of anonymous functions acting as closures is massive, along with the ability to have the code right where you want it, instead of in a separate method.

A: They can easily be used as just syntax sugar around a delegate but the big thing about lambdas is that the compiler has the ability turn them into expression trees which open up many possibilities (not the least of which being LINQ).

The first time I really started to think about money was when I got my first credit card. I am a notorious shopaholic with a tendency to shop until I have nothing in my bank account when I am stressed. I got my first credit card with a limit of $1,200 and within two months, I had maxed it out. No one had really explained credit to me, other than I knew I needed to have a decent credit score to get a car or an apartment. I tanked my credit by being careless and missing payments, and it's something I'm still recovering from.

The flexibility of using pendants at a bath vanity is undeniable. I opt to use pendants when there is an ample amount of vanity space, but mostly when we are space challenged. By just dropping in a few pendants, you can expand the mirror size or shrink it depending on the aesthetic and overall function of the room.
I particularly like to shrink the mirror and flank it with two pendants in powder rooms. It creates a sense of drama. In master suites or other large baths, I like to expand the mirror and use pendants. These can be appropriately placed to provide ample lighting to shave or apply make up.
Choosing pendants over wall sconces is a unconventional approach that enhances the overall experience of using the vanity. This is why so many times, I default to the "drop it" method when trying to determine vanity lighting.


As the sun rose, a red glow appeared at the horizon and a rippling flame was reflected onto the sea surface. This scene was very dazzling.
The princess of the Clam Clan, Yamei, had already woken up. Now, she was sobbing while hugging her younger brother Sijiate who had also woken up with a hangover. Fortunately, she had survived, but the sad thing was the huge debt of blood.
Long Yi carefully sized up this clam princess. Her face was very elegant, especially her clear and beautiful eyes: they were limpid and distant; her skin was tender and soft as if water would come out if he pinched her. Other than the purple shell on her back, she could be regarded as a devastating beauty even among those of the Human race. And suddenly thinking about those alluring women who were captured in the fairy tales of his previous world, all of whom were lovely enough to cause the fall of a country, Long Yi smiled in a daze. But, by coincidence, this smile was seen by Yamei who had just stopped sobbing, and she immediately swallowed her words of gratitude, thinking he was gloating over other people's misfortunes.
Long Yi, however, didn't notice this. He was thinking about all sorts of strange races within this world. If not for experiencing everything himself and etching everything in his memory, he truly would have believed that he was immersed in a tediously long dream where even his real memories had become messy and blurred.
Yamei glared at Long Yi, but she was confronted with his black eyes shining with an inexplicable luster. Although his eyes were not focused, there was a kind of attraction, and she then understood that that smile of just now had not been directed at her.
Long Yi was somewhat surprised in his heart, this Yamei had immediately asked such a fundamental question. Even after suffering the horrible disaster of the extermination of her entire family, she was still able to calmly think of this issue. She was truly cautious and meticulous. Compared to her that simple younger brother, she was much better in this aspect.
"We came here to look for Undersea City and figure out the truth about the exile of the Mermaid Imperial Clan," Long Yi told the truth without concealing anything.
"Then, you want us to show the way?" Yamei was startled for a moment, and then her eyes instantly became sharp.
"Yes." Long Yi calmly looked straight at her.
Long Yi smiled and looked straight into the beautiful eyes of Yamei. They were glimmering with insightful wisdom. Not long after, Yamei broke the eye contact and moved her gaze to one side.
"Since we are in agreement, rest well. We will go to Undersea City after you have completely recovered," Long Yi said with a faint smile. It was not hard for Long Yi to understand the thoughts of Yamei who had barely escaped with her life. If he couldn't understand her selfish calculations, he would not be Long Yi. Rather than saying that she was willing to lead Long Yi to Undersea City because she believed in him, it was better to say that she was gambling. While helping Long Yi, she also wanted to use the strength of Long Yi to find out everything about her family's death at the same time. Of course, they had this tacit understanding.
Afternoon: the sun rode high in the sky.
artistic terms. However, since he had already reached the fifth later of AoTianJue, his skin could absorb oxygen even within the sea, so he was also relaxed.
After these people reached more than three thousand meters into the sea, it was already like night. At this depth, only a very small amount of scattered starlight reached here. At this point, Yamei and Sajiate stopped.
"Now, we need to go a further 10,000 meters, and we will see the entrance to Undersea City. This entrance is relatively better to sneak through, but the surroundings around this entrance are harsh. Not only are there bloodthirsty sharks, Heaven Slaying Squid and other very dangerous sea monsters, but there are also poisonous swamps. Therefore, other than some strong adventure groups of Sea Race, no one else dares to operate there,| Yamei turned around and said to Liuli and Long Yi behind her.
"Is it that dangerous?" Long Yi asked. One could say that the undersea world was a world unknown to him. He didn't know what land-based magical beast those bloodthirsty sharks and heaven slaying squids had an equivalent ranking too.
"There is a certain level of danger, but those sea monsters have their own territory. Generally, there will only be one per sea area. Therefore, there shouldn't be any problems with your strength," Yamei explained.
"Since that is the case, let's continue forward," Long Yi nodded his head and said.
After diving roughly 5,000 meters into the sea following Yamei and her sibling, floating specks of light appeared in the pitch-black sea. They were a kind of luminous deep-sea fish species. Diving deeper, their buoyancy opposed their motions more and more. Long Yi had to increase his internal force a little to resist the pressure and buoyancy. On the other hand, the siblings and Liuli seemed to have felt nothing. This was probably the difference between the human and Sea Race.
At the same time, Long Yi also began to worry. The pressure was already so great at the 5,000 meters mark, since Undersea City was more than 10,000 meters deep, didn't that mean the pressure would be even greater? In the future, when continuously expending his internal force to withstand the pressure, how long could he stay there? Moreover, if he suffered an attack, it would be very troublesome. After all, would he be able to display even a fraction of his strength? The heart of Long Yi became heavy as he thought of this.
"Be careful, there is a whirlpool passage below!" The voice of Yamei came.
Immediately after hearing Yamei's voice, Long Yi felt a strong suction force. He subconsciously held Liuli's little hand and used his strength to resist. However, Yamei and Sijiate just rolled into it.
"Young Master, Yamei said that it is a whirlpool passage. Shouldn't we enter it to go to Undersea City?" Liuli said.
Long Yi thought about the words of Yamei. At that time, she didn't seem to be afraid at all. This should be a passage like Liuli suggested. After thinking a bit, he calmed down and withdrew his internal force. Then, he entered that whirlpool passage while hugging Liuli.
After feeling as if the sky and earth were spinning around, Long Yi saw a light in front of him. The Yamei siblings were not far away in front of him. Then, he and Liuli looked around in amazement because they seemed to have arrived in a completely different world that defied common sense.
Now, there was a black sea with continuously spinning whirlpool above them and a crystal clear and transparent underwater world below them. It was as if there were a barrier separating these two worlds, juxtaposing two opposing physical realms. He didn't know from where those lights had come from. As for the seabed, it was blackish red, and air bubbles continuously rose upward. The black part was mud, and the red part was undersea magma.
"Remember, never touch those air bubbles! Also don't go to the sea floor," Yamei solemnly instructed.
Long Yi stared at those air bubbles for a little while but he was unable to see any danger. He took out a small dart from inside his space ring and threw it at an air bubble that was far away from them.
"Don't!" Yamei screamed, but it was already too late. A loud explosion resounded as that air bubble blew open like a strong explosive; moreover, it led to a chain reaction, and those air bubbles exploded one after another, causing the seawater to begin to boil.
Seeing those explosion waves rapidly spreading toward them, Long Yi was inwardly speechless. He immediately grabbed the Yamei siblings and Liuli, before quickly flying into the whirlpool passage above.
Long Yi touched his nose. He had just wanted to see what would happen; moreover, he had already been quite cautious, yet that earth-shaking chain reaction had still shocked him. If he hadn't fled through that whirlpool passage, then even if he had exhausted all of his energy to block it, he would have definitely lost a layer of skin. Moreover, he would have still had three more people to protect.
Just when they were waiting beside the whirlpool passage, over ten multicolored light advanced towards them from the distance.
With Long Yi's sharp eyesight, he saw about a dozen different colored jellyfish. They were pink, green, blue, cyan, and so on…, but all of them were transparent and had long tentacles fluttering in the sea. They looked very beautiful.
"Such a beautiful group of jellyfishes," Long Yi exclaimed. In his heart, he knew that although these jellyfishes looked beautiful, they were very poisonous.
"Are you saying that there are jellyfish? Where? Are they pure or mixed colored?" Yamei hastily asked. Her eyesight was not as good as Long Yi's.
"All are pure colored, and there are a variety of colors. What's wrong?" Long Yi asked.
"Really? Can you catch them? In the past, Sea Race used them to kill bloodthirsty sharks. In addition, average sea monsters will make a detour if they run into them. With them around, we will be much safer," Yamei excitedly said.
"Is that so? Merely, is that the only reason for doing so?" Long Yi looked at that group of beautiful jellyfishes and smiled while scrutinizing at Yamei.
Yamei was startled, and seeing those black eyes that sparkled even here in the dark beneath the sea, she suddenly felt as if he could see through her heart. Under the gaze of those eyes, she couldn't conceal anything.

Shirley Lynette Ledford was a pretty, 16-year-old teenage girl just coming into her own in 1979, the year she was kidnapped and murdered.
She would have turned 48 this year.
I got to thinking about her Wednesday after reading another story about how we can't seem to come up with a humane way to thin out the waiting list on San Quentin's death row without causing murderers too much pain and suffering.
It's a hard argument to swallow when you know the pain and suffering Ledford went through at the end of her short life.
I can still hear her screams as she begged for her life. No one in the courtroom who heard the 17-minute audio tape of her last moments will ever forget it.
Jurors openly cried and half a dozen people sitting in the courtroom had to get up and leave, sick to their stomachs. Even the prosecutor cried talking to the media later. It was that chilling and cruel.
The man sentenced to death for kidnapping and murdering Ledford and four other teenage girls was Larry Bittaker, a Burbank machinist.
He's turning 71 this year.
I don't know if they celebrate birthdays on death row, but if they do Bittaker's been blowing out the candles for 30 years now while the system tries to figure out a way to kill him that won't hurt.
Sticking a hot needle in his arm and letting him fall asleep forever doesn't seem to be it, so Bittaker and more than 650 other murderers on death row keep celebrating more birthdays.
Shirley Lynette Ledford ran out of birthdays 32 years ago.
"It's sad to think Bittaker might have to go through a little pain if he's executed," quips Stephen Kay, a former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney who was lead prosecutor on the trial.
Kay, who also co-prosecuted the Charles Manson murder trial, vividly remembers the pain and suffering Bittaker and his partner, Roy Norris, (who got life for testifying against Bittaker) inflicted on Ledford.
They raped, mutilated, then strangled her with a clotheshanger in the back of a van they dubbed the Murder Mac. Then they threw her body into a Tujunga ivy bed like she was roadside trash.
It's unimaginable to know the pain and suffering this poor little girl went through at Bittaker's hands. That 17-minute audio tape tears your heart out.
It took the jury an hour and a half to come back with a guilty verdict in 1981. Since then, more than half of the jurors have died, as has the trial judge, assistant prosecutor, and lead detective who testified.
Meanwhile, Bittaker sits in his cell on death row celebrating another birthday while the state looks for a humane way to execute him.
"In my penalty arguments I apologized to the jury for only asking for the death penalty," Kay told me Wednesday.
This column is not about being for or against the death penalty. That's another argument. This one's about the idea that somehow we degrade ourselves as a society if a murderer sitting on death row experiences some pain and suffering at the end.
Who cares? Pain and suffering was their livelihood. They're pros at it. Kay's words to the jury during the penalty phase of the trial 30 years ago hit a nerve in that courtroom.
Nobody on the jury gave a damn about what Bittaker's pain and suffering might be when it came time for their verdict to be carried out.
It was Ledford and the other girls' pain and suffering they cared about. The victims, not the murderer.
If we're going to have a death penalty law in this state, which we do, then make it one for the victims.
When it's your time, you get the same pain and suffering you caused your victims.
Yeah, I know, it'll never happen. But you can always dream.
Shirley Lynette Ledford celebrated her last birthday 32 years ago when she was 16.
Larry Bittaker's celebrating his 71st birthday this year – 30 years after a jury sentenced him to death for murdering her.
Dennis McCarthy's column appears Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.


Cyclamen neapolitanum is one of my all-time favourite flowering plants. Each autumn season, when their dainty little heads appear above the mottled foliage, I can't help but smile. I have a patch that's been growing for years - love it!
The two toned pink flowers resemble butterflies in flight and bloom in late summer and early fall. The beautiful heart-shaped foliage is just as attractive. This plant naturalizes very well. Trust us, plant this. You will love it!
Native to the Mediterranean, these plants bloom for many weeks and spread easily in the garden. In a few years you'll have a nice little colony of perky pink flowers! They're so very cute and if hardy to your zone should definitely be on your list! These are truly delightful little flowers and because they are short in stature, you should consider planting them where you will be able to enjoy them the most: next to patio area, under a close-by tree or along the edge of a flowering border.

Red blood cells: Reservoirs of cis- and trans-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids
Houli Jiang, John Quilley, L. Manmohan Reddy, John R. Falck, Patrick Y K Wong, John C. McGiff
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are candidate endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors that demonstrate a wide range of biological effects. The presence of both cis- and trans-EETs in rat plasma was identified with HPLC-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in this study. The total EETs in plasma are 38.2 ng/ml with cis-EETs representing 21.4 ± 0.4 ng/ml and trans-EETs 16.8 ± 0.4 ng/ml. EETs in RBCs were estimated to be 20.2 ng/109 RBCs, which corresponds to 200 ng in RBCs contained in 1 ml blood. RBC incubation with 10 mM tert-butyl hydroperoxide resulted in 4.4-fold increase of total cis-EETs (from 9.2 to 40.2 ng/109 RBCs) and 5.5-fold increase of total trans-EETs (from 11.0 to 60.8 ng/109 RBCs). EETs were released (2 ng/ml) from RBCs after incubation at 37°C for 10 min even after being washed 3 times, indicating that RBCs are reservoirs of plasma EETs. The identification of cis- and trans-EETs in RBCs and in plasma as well as their release from RBCs suggest a vasoregulatory role of RBCs in view of their potent vasoactivity.
