__label__wiki	0.748238	0.748238	Sort by Date of ReviewBook Review of The Language of Roses "...a tale that is as much about the nature of love as anything else. It’s also about abuse, and cycles of abuse, and how women can break them working together." Jennifer R. Povey, Views of Other Planes "Beauty and the Beast has always been a story about looking beyond appearances (among other themes), but this version extends that far beyond the original scope. Neither Alys nor Grace nor even the rosebush are what they originally appear. While there is a romantic relationship, it’s not the one you expect. Not everyone earns forgiveness, or a happily ever after." J.Z. Weston, Luna Station Quarterly "This book flew past every expectation that I had of it. It stunned me with how powerfully it tied me to these characters and I absolutely loved it." Nonbinary Knight, Nonbinary Knight Reads and Reviews "Jones’s prose has a light, lyrical touch perfectly suited for this story and subject." Jerry L Wheeler, Out in Print "The prose was quite magical and captivating. Right from the beginning, I was enchanted (pun intended), and wanted to know more, to read more I ended up reading this book in one sitting, start to finish. Didn't even take breaks." Mila, Goodreads "I was first sucked in by the beautiful world Jones created. Everything has a plushness with an underlying fragility. Every page was a new exploration into a complicated set of characters and a world where magic felt so real I could practically smell the roses." Sheena, The Lesbian Review "In this book, the author does a great job of portraying the exhaustion and lack of space that can be caused by a toxic relationship: the way someone has to be pacified, the emotional energy that goes into keeping them pleased, the constant, unrelenting, but not overtly cruel encroachment into one's personal time, space, and agency." Cheyanne, Goodreads "...twists and turns that will have you second guessing your instincts, without completely deviating from the bones of the story." Ellie, Goodreads "The writing is gorgeous and moody." Jamie (The Rebellious Reader), Goodreads "[R]ather than fairy-tale romance of men’s animal nature being tamed we get a fairy-tale mystery which covers romance, intrigue and also women deciding to be true to themselves. The romance here is the emotional beats left unsaid until the last minute and they really pack a punch." Matt, Runalong the Shelves	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0049.json.gz/line1

Battle honors were commonly stitched on regimental colors. This First Nebraska flag bears the names of Milford, Donalson (sic), Shiloh, Corinth and Cape Girardeau. Under the heading “1st Regt. Nebraska Cav.” are Chalk Bluff, Sycamore, Red Bank and Jacksonport. History Nebraska, 7135-389-(1) By David L. Bristow, History Nebraska As we’ve just celebrated another Veterans Day, here are three flags belonging to the first soldiers to formally represent Nebraska in the U.S. Army. Nebraska Territory had only about 9,000 men of military age when the Civil War began, but it sent more than 3,000 of them into the Union armies. The First Nebraska Infantry Regiment fought in two major battles in 1862, playing a crucial role at the Battle of Fort Donelson and fighting bravely at Shiloh. Later, mounted as cavalry, the two Nebraska regiments guarded overland trails in Nebraska’s Platte Valley. Statehood followed two years after the end of the war. ■ Visit History Nebraska’s website at history.nebraska.gov. In 1863, the First Nebraska was mounted as a cavalry regiment. It served in the Platte Valley from August 1864 until it was mustered out in July 1866. History Nebraska, 8611-4 Flag of First Nebraska Regiment, Company A, 1861. States and territories organized recruits into thousand-man regiments, and young men from the same town usually filled hundred-man companies. Company A was organized in Plattsmouth. Mrs. O. F. Johnson sewed the company’s flag. It was said she had the only sewing machine in town. Many years later, the flag came to History Nebraska in fragile condition. Its blue field is all but gone, and at some point, its remaining 26 stars were mounted to a new backing — and not very neatly. Mrs. Johnson’s stripes are a bit uneven, but we assume she placed her 34 stars with more care. The U.S. had 34 states after Kansas joined the Union in January 1861. During the war years, new U.S. flags added stars for Kansas, West Virginia (1863) and Nevada (1864), but did not — as a matter of principle — subtract the 11 seceded states from the Perpetual Union. History Nebraska, 2046 Pvt. James Hutton, age 19, Co. E, First Nebraska, circa 1861. History Nebraska, rg2057-40 This ad appeared in the Nebraska Advertiser (Brownville), on May 23, 1861. The Brownville company traveled by steamboat to Omaha City, where it was mustered into the First Nebraska Regiment. The post Nebraska’s Civil War Flags appeared first on Nebraskaland Magazine.

__label__cc	0.6045	0.3955	Home Dark Journey In this searing sequel to the vampiric bondage bestseller, Ariel's Desire, a demon from Lucien's past who threatens to destroy the lovers plus the entire vampire coven. Their only hope is a man who may have been driven by his own tortures. It begins when Ariel's friend Mike is turned over to a Native American tribe to be trained as a warrior. But first he must make a dark journey from dog to human being. First he is trained as a dog and taught to obey every order instantly. He is also taught to curb his sexual impulses with restraining devices as he journeys through horse, stallion, and cougar. At the same time, a Native American maiden is sent to the vampire settlement where she is forced into sexual bondage by the man who claims her, and subjected to sadistically cruel torments. As in Ariel's Desire, Candace Smith has invented several new bondage devices that make Dark Journey more than a bit of a rougher ride. There was a busty blonde hanging over the fence and Mike forced himself to smile at her. His triking blue eyes, set off by his wavy black hair, always earned him ladies’ attentions and his choice of weekend sex partners when Ariel buried herself in her botany studies. The woman merely glanced at him, then at the cuffs, and went back to joking with the Vampires. Everyone in their group received a warm, excited welcome except him. He understood he was to be an outcast here as well, and tried to convince himself it did not matter. Grayed, weathered wooden buildings lined the street on either side, with corrals and a few outbuildings set further back. ‘So, this is my new home.’ He looked at the depressing village, already working on a plan to escape. His eyes traveled to the corral and the docile animals standing inside by the fence. It should be easy enough to steal a horse. His eyes wandered while his feet moved him forward with the group. It took a moment to realize they had stopped in front a big building halfway down the street. The Clansmen dismounted and helped their women off the horses. Lucien greeted a smiling older man who still managed a formidable presence. The man walked off the porch, embraced Ethan, and the busty blonde from the fence joined them. Mike turned his attention back to the hall when the doorway was filled with three more Indians. He looked again at his cuffs and compared them to the leather breeches the Indians wore, and a hollow feeling began to gnaw at his gut. The Indians on the either end were of average size and tightly muscled like Black Horse, the Indian who met them on the grasslands. Mike had no trouble discerning the man in the middle was the leader. He stood at least four inches taller than Mike’s six feet and muscular arms crossed over a massive bronze chest. His thick straight black hair hung loose to his waist, and although he was laughing with Lucien, his strength and proud bearing were frightening. Mike’s nerves began to vibrate in warning and the instinct to flee was only squelched by the knowledge he would have to rip the piercing in his sack to run. There was no doubt he would be subdued quickly. The imposing Indian had glanced at his cuffs several times. Mike had a real bad feeling about this. Lucien finished the light banter with the Indian about how things had gone at the settlement in his absence. The discussion turned to Mike. and the fear gnawing in his belly became an empty hole of terror. Lucien made some kind of back handed comment about Mike’s independence and continued to inform the Indian about his disruptive manner and attempts at escape. “Wind Seeker,” Black Horse chuckled, “Lucien has given us a real winner, this time. The coward’s bright idea to distract the Clansmen was to drown Ariel.” Given to them? Lucien gave me to Indians? Mike felt his balls shrivel inside the confines of the pouch as the piercing black eyes looked down at him in outrage. An irrational thought to explain to the man that he knew Lucien would get her to safety, stuck in his paralyzed throat. He did not hear the clipped statement the Indian made to Lucien as he strode off the porch. Mike panicked and took a useless step backward, and Wind Seeker reached down and grabbed the ring under his sack and viciously twisted. The unexpected pain was immense and Mike screamed. The big man grabbed the back of Mike‘s hair and tilted his head back, glaring at him. “I’m not as nice as the Clansmen,” the Indian seethed. Dark Divas Dakota's Review: While I really loved the first book in this series, I absolutely adore Dark Journey: Arial’s Desire II. Ms. Smith has outdone herself this time. After reading the first book, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the second – especially when I found out that we find out the fate of Mike, Ariel’s ex-boyfriend, after he arrives at the Indian Village. Ms. Smith delivered the same strong writing in this book as she did the first. While we still revisit some of the characters of the first book, I will have to say this book is entirely Mike’s even though Arial has her moments. Ms. Smith has cleverly intertwined the first book with the second. This is no easy feat for an author to pull off. I will have to say while the reader doesn’t have to read the first book, I would highly recommend it. It makes the second book all the better. Especially when comparing the Mike from book one to the Mike of book two. The same type of sizzling BDSM sex scenes were once more delivered by Ms. Smith, and are not for the faint of heart. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, along with the first. This reviewer will be looking forward to reading this author again.

A surge in ground forces and a change of strategy, to have more U.S. troops dismount from vehicles more to mix with the Afghan populace, has produced a more target-rich environment for homemade bombs. In 2008, IEDs killed 68 American service members in Afghanistan. The number rose to 168 in 2009 and to 268 last year, according to the Defense Manpower Data Center. The number IED wounded nearly tripled to 3,371 in Afghanistan last year, up from 1,211 in 2009 and 270 in 2008. The Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO), with its $2.8 billion annual budget, is responsible for countering the IED threat. Mitchell Howell, deputy director of JIEDDO for rapid acquisition and technology, said in a phone interview that the organization has made steady progress against IEDs even though no “silver bullet solution” has been found. He said the enemy adjusts tactics and techniques swiftly in response to whatever fresh countermeasures the U.S. military adopts. Howell said when coalition forces devise a solution to one IED technology, “within weeks if not days, or sometimes hours, the bad guys change the manner in which they deploy” IEDs, Howell said. “They are always watching what we do, and they change a bit more frequently than what our traditional acquisition system is designed to accommodate.” Nevertheless, Howell said, JIEDDO’s combination of operations — training the force, uncovering and attacking IED networks, and developing tactics and technologies to defeat devices — has saved lives and steadily is making deployment of IEDs a riskier business for enemies. “You can judge that by the methods insurgents tend to shift to,” Howell said. “We are seeing a shift back towards suicide-borne IED folks because we have limited their ability to explode IEDs on the roads in some of the villages.” Suicide attacks are targeted thus more effective, Howell said. “But we are working very hard to be able to discern the personnel and vehicle borne IEDs at a distance, well before they get into critical areas.” In an agrarian economy like Afghanistan, fertilizer and other bomb-making chemicals are plentiful. Because almost every IED uses electrical blasting caps to detonate, one “silver bullet solution” would be the ability to “pre-detonate everything,” Howell said. But most IEDs are buried, making pre-detonation difficult. On average, 1,300 to 1,500 IED attacks occur per month in Afghanistan. Twenty percent of them are effective, meaning they kill or wound coalition forces. Howell, a retired Army infantry officer, said the Taliban may be a largely illiterate “but they are certainly not dumb.” They make swift and simple innovations to respond to IED countermeasures. Their first IEDs, for example, used radio frequencies to detonate. U.S. forces responded with electronics that created signal-jamming bubbles around vehicles. So IED makers began using “victim-operated” detonation switches that vehicles would run over. Troops then began deploying rollers on the front of vehicles to pre-detonate IEDs, and the enemy shifted to using buried command wires and hidden spotters to trigger bombs by sight as the troops passed. “What we want to do is get inside the enemy’s decision cycle, to take away the initiative. We are having an impact,” Howell said. Since June, he said, the effectiveness of IEDs in Afghanistan, as measured by incidents producing casualties, has fallen 9 percent.

__label__cc	0.727897	0.272103	Cuenca Ecuador: Mining could threaten Azuay province water supply Posted on November 17, 2016 • Filed under: Ecuador, Ecuador Emergency, Latin America Mining Pablo Orellana Matute/wagingnonviolence.org/ wrote: Nestled amid the Andean mountains, Cuenca — Ecuador’s third largest city — has long been known for its bounteous sources of fresh water. This is thanks to its privileged location within the Maziso del Cajas, a newly declared UNESCO biosphere reserve. However, over the last decade, its underlying gold and silver reserves have fallen prey to corporate mining interests — a situation that has only grown more critical with the government’s recent announcement that there will be further exploitation of these minerals. Social and environmental groups across the city have stood up to defend their region from the mining industry. At the forefront is the Yasunidos Cuenca-Guapondelig youth collective — a local branch of the national Yasunidos movement that gained attention in 2014 with a nationwide failed call for a referendum on President Rafael Correa’s extractivist policies. Along with frontline communities in the region, the collective is working to preserve what they see as the region’s very source of life. On October 22, the authorities of Azuay province — where Cuenca is located — gathered in the mountains, over 11,000 feet above sea level, to unanimously pass a resolution declaring the province’s moor ecosystems “mining-free territories.” Alongside Kimsacocha, a majestic lagoon that serves as the source of one of Cuenca’s four emblematic rivers, the organizers, including city mayors and members of the provincial council, participated in cultural festivities and rituals to celebrate this symbolic victory. For the Yasunidos collective in Cuenca, along with other social and peasant movements, this action was part of an ongoing effort to render water’s life-giving qualities — and the hardships that come with its scarcity — more visible. In the face of ever-growing mining activities in the region, their actions seek to counterbalance a false and pervasive official narrative of “responsible mining practices.” Two mining projects at the entrance of a water reservoir (READ FULL ARTICLE) 100 POINTS TO CONSIDER BEFORE MOVING OR RETIRING IN ECUADOR – READ THIS BOOK Ecuador: Abducted Soldiers released by irrregular group in mining conflict State of Emergency declared in Morona province after death of police during attack on mine Tension in Morona Santiago Ecuador continues, two soldiers held by Shuar Ecuador: Questions as to who murdered Indigenous leader, a critic of Rafael Correa	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0049.json.gz/line51
__label__wiki	0.612754	0.612754	By Francis Bacon The noble author had no faith in the permanence of modern languages. He predicts, with assurance absolute, that “they will at one time or other play the bankrupt with books.” But why? Perhaps the fate of Chaucer haunted him; and it was certainly his policy in regard to his foreign as well as home readers, to conform in his scientific traductions to the pedantry of his time. His native tongue is now more richly endowed than that of his choice, and both hemispheres have guaranteed its integrity. “Since I have lost much time with this age, I would be glad, as God shall give me leave, to recover it with posterity.” It is fortunate that he did not always appeal to “ Prince Posterity” in a dead language; and the renown of the “great worke” would have been more commensurate with its utility, had he employed his own beautiful English, instead of the scholastic vehicle, to express the systematic grandeur and depth of his thoughts. What, for instance, to say nothing of Greek and Roman precedent, would have been the popularity of Locke's Essay, if he had wrapped it up in modern Latin, and left his countrymen to the tardy alms of the translator ? His final opinion of these productions, and his intention to add to their number, must not be passed over. “As for my Essays, I count them but as the recreations of my other studies, and in that sort purpose to continue them; though I am not ignorant that those kind of writings would, with less pains and embracement, perhaps, yield more lustre and reputation to my name than those other which I have in hand.” The Essays were published in French and Italian during the author's life, and it is rather surprising that Bayle does not notice them specifically in his Dictionary. Mr. Montagu informs us that the first book published in Philadelphia consisted partly of the Essays. Would any modern colony bear such a first book? The Latin translation was a work performed by divers hands, to which he gave, says Tennyson, the title of Sermones Fideles, after the manner of the Jews, who called the word Adagies, or observations of the wise, faithful sayings, that is, credible propositions, worthy of firm assent and ready acceptance. Succeeding essayists must be content to occupy a lower place than the author of this celebrated volume, and therefore we never find it printed with the British Essayists. There is nothing ephemeral about it. Critics of books and manners are not entitled to rank with the critic of nature and life. Written by a scholar, courtier, and wit, without pedantry, modishness, or flippancy, the utmost reach of practical insight is blended with the views of the sage; the freshness of first thoughts is not lost in the finish of reflection. They were begun in the midst of hope, amplified in the midst of ambition, and concluded in the throng of bitter memories, rendered keener by the loftiest presages. Any particular examination of the style or principles of these dissertations would be superfluous. Their general tendency is as useful as their workmanship is beautiful. The late Dugald Stewart classes them “under the head of Ethics,” and gives an excellent account of “the small volume, the best known and most popular of his works. It is also one of those where the superiority of his genius appears to the best advantage, the novelty and depth of his reflections often receiving a strong relief from the triteness of the subject. It may be read from beginning to end in a few hours; and yet after the twentieth perusal, one seldom fails to remark in it something overlooked before. This is indeed a characteristic of allıBacon's writings; and is only to be accounted for by the inexhaustible aliment they furnish our own thoughts, and the sympathetic activity they impart to our torpid faculties.” Sir James Mackintosh considers, that though the book has been praised with equal fervour by Voltaire, Johnson, and Burke, it has never been characterized with such exact justice as in this extract. We prefer Dr. Johnson's dictum (if his it can be called, after the quoted letter to Prince Henry): “ Their excellence and their value consist in their being observations of a strong mind operating upon life, and consequently you find there what you seldom find in any other works.” “ They operate upon life,”—upon moral, physical, and spiritual subjects. They might be called the common sense of a great man collated with human affairs; but it is the common sense of a superlative genius, generalizing upon multifarious observation, and so pervaded with the savour of high and various experience, as to come home to every bosom. Each Essay is composed of materials excursively gathered up, and well marshalled ; every sentence might be called a self-contained one, and yet all combine to form or illustrate a perfect whole: the connexion and the condensation are equally remarkable. It was his art to keep out of sight the intermediate links by which one proposition is really, though not apparently, bound to another. The chasm seems cleared by a sort of imperial prerogative, but it was literally travelled through by logic. In short, each Essay is composed of fine and weighty thoughts, “natural but not obvious," heightened by being independently just, and promoting a common object without the ceremony of an introduction. Much is left out that must have been thought out, or the duodecimo would more than fill a folio. One of the first men of his time, the late Sir James Mackintosh, whose admiration of Bacon was habitual and unbounded, thus concludes a letter to a young friend on a course of study; but lest the advice should be deemed a mere epistolary hyperbole, let the reader consult two grave notes in his Dissertation, wherein he styles our author the “ master of wisdom,” and says his writings are still as delightful and wonderful as they ever were, and his authority will have no end :-"and as the result of all study, and the consummation of all wisdom, Bacon's Essays, to be read and converted into part of the substance of your mind.” The fragment of the Colours of Good and Evil, which has often been separately published, deserves an attentive study and perusal, not merely on account of its intrinsic merit and subsequent position in the De Augmentis Scientiarum, under the head of Rhetoric, but as having been one of the writings first printed with the Essays, which it resembles in the result, if not in the mode. The present title does not seem so appropriate as that of Places of Persuasion and Dissuasion, which was adopted in the first edition. Bacon says he was moved to dedicate this writing to Lord Mountjoye “after the ancient manner, choosing both a friend, and one to whom he conceived the argument was agreeable.” The dedication, indeed, may be referred to as the best exposition of his design. The performance is original ; there was nothing like it before; and the loss has not yet been supplied of his more extensive collection of these “colours, popularities and circumstances, which are of such force as they sway the ordinary judgment both of a weak man and of a wise man, not fully attending or pondering the matter.” There can be no doubt either of the utility or difficulty of this undertaking. “Nothing can be of greater use and defence to the mind than the discovery and reprehension of these colours, (or, as he elsewhere calls them, popular marks, or colours, of apparent good and evil,') showing in what cases they hold, and in what they deceive; which as it cannot be done but out of a very universal knowledge of the nature of things, so being performed, it so cleareth a man's judgment and election, as it is the less apt to slide into any error.” The task is required at the hands of those “who are patient to stay the digesting and soluting unto themselves of that which is sharp and subtle." The Collection of Apophthegms is only remarkable as having been “ made out of his memory, without turning to any book, in one morning.” The admirers of Lord Chesterfield will not approve of his not omitting “any because they are vulgar, for many vulgar ones are excellent good;” still his censure of the collections of Stobæus and others, that they “ draw much of the dregs,” is by no means inapplicable to his own. In fact they are unworthy of Bacon. Lord Byron has a curious memorandum in his “ Diary of 1821.” On the 5th January, among other things, we have the following vigil; “Mem.-Ordered Fletcher (at four o'clock this afternoon) to copy out seven or eight apophthegms of Bacon, in which I have detected such blunders as a school-boy might detect, rather than commit. Such are the sages ! What must they be, when such as I can stumble on their mistakes or misstatements ? I will go to bed, for I find that I grow cynical.” Next morning we have this slap-dash continued. “ Mist-thaw-slop-rain. No stirring out on horseback. Read Spence's Anecdotes. Pope is a fine fellow-always thought him Corrected blunders in nine apophthegms of Bacon—all historical; and read Mitford's Greece." Byron did not know that the Apophthegms were but a “morning's work,” when illness had rendered him incapable of serious study; and that it is by no means certain we have the genuine dictation in this collection. The POLITICAL and LEGAL works require no prefatory detail of a biographical or historical character. Our author was, unfortunately, born and bred a courtier; and he thought, wrote, and acted as became an adherent of the court party, by birth, parentage, and education. The lawyer was, therefore, grafted upon the courtier ; and the politician was neither more nor less than the compound of both. The law, common and statute, combined with prerogative, made up the cardinal principle of political action, and formed the ultimate and immediate standard of public virtue; it was the courtier's test; and though one more enlarged and philosophical would have been more worthy of him, we should recollect that if few subscribe to it now, still fewer knew of it then. The court, the law, the country were successively regarded, but the first was paramount; the second was supposed, as the forms of the constitution were always rigidly observed, to include the third, as it certainly did the first. Much that is grating to modern liberality in Bacon's publications, speeches, and conduct, may thus be more easily accounted for than justified. The capital error of his age was the mixing up of religion with state affairs, to the huge disadvantage of the commonweal. Ecclesiastical power had lately been transferred into political hands, but the spell of its sorcery was broken in the transfer, and the vain attempt to restore its potency cost the country two revolutions. It is to be borne in mind, that the most zealous approvers of this mischievous policy, whenever and however persisted in, are the very men whose hostility to civil liberty is only surpassed by their rancorous hatred of christianity itself. The political writings are all of a practical nature; and when the high and multifarious character of his engagements is considered, this circumstance entitles him to be regarded as the busiest as well as the greatest man of his time. They are more numerous than bulky, and their value is more proportioned to their variety than their extent. The first of these Tracts, On the State of Europe, was written at a very early period, and is probably nothing more than a careful draught for diplomatic rather than general use. It is crabbed and compressed in manner, and devoid alike of sentiment or metaphor ; but it presents an accurate chart of the state of the continent, and a similar sketch of its existing state would not be an uninteresting or useless work. There is one European potentate to whose successor Bacon's stern description would still apply," he governeth altogether as a tyrant;” and this must of course refer to “ the Muscovite emperor of Russia.” The Discourse in the Praise of his Sovereign, exceeds in eloquence and flattery the piece which will be found near the end of the second volume, In Felicem Memoriam Elizabethe The one was evidently penned during the life of the Virgin Queen, and the other was written soon after her death. The former is the discourse of a courtier, the latter of a politician, but though quite distinct in execution, they were both intended to counteract, the one at home, and the other abroad, the bull of the Vatican, and the calumnies of more private papists. From a letter to Sir George Carew it appears that he sent the Latin Tract to the President De Thou. It is to be remarked, however, that neither of these pamphlets were made public during his life. James hated the memory of his illustrious predecessor; but that the author should not merely not print either piece, but should even omit in the De Augmentis the beautiful passages of praise which appear in The Advancement of Learning, can only be accounted for by degrading him. The philosopher forfeited his freedom when he aspired to become a courtier ; and as he had sold himself to the court, and had already incurred the loss of popular esteem, without obtaining a tittle of preferment, something must be allowed to disappointment as well as servility. Detesting Elizabeth's ecclesiastical government as much as we admire her political administration, it will not be denied that the character was worthy of his pen ; and no one has drawn it with more grace and vigour than the neglected “ Counsel Extraordinary.” The flowers of his rhetoric, if we may be allowed to euphuize, are full of the honey of his philosophy; they are as fragrant as they are brilliant ; the bright array of compliments comprises the substance of her proud reign. How eloquent is the following matter-of-fact paragraph! “She hath reigned in a most populous and wealthy peace, her people greatly multiplied, wealthily appointed, and singularly devoted. She wanted not the example of the power of her arms in the memorable.voyages and invasions prosperously made and achieved by sundry her noble progenitors. She had not wanted pretences, as well of claim and right, as of quarrel and revenge. She hath reigned during the minority of some of her neighbour princes, and during the factions and divisions of their people upon deep and irreconcilable quarrels, and during the embracing greatness of some one that hath made himself so weak through too much burthen, as others are through decay of strength; and yet see her sitting as it were within the compass of her sands. Scotland, that doth as it were eclipse her island; the United Provinces of the Low Countries, which for wealth, commodity of traffic, affection to our nation, were most meet to be annexed to this crown; she left the possession of the one, and refused the sovereignty of the other : so that notwithstanding the greatness of her means, the justness of her pretences, and the rareness of her opportunity, she hath continued her first mind, she hath made the possessions which she received the limits of her dominions, and the world the limits of her name, by a peace that hath stained all victories.” Sir Walter Scott may have had this passage before him, when he drew the stately lady, in his Kenilworth. “ For the royal wisdom and policy of government, he that shall note and observe the prudent temper she useth in admitting access ; of the one side maintaining the majesty of her degree, and on the other side not prejudicing herself by looking to her estate through too few windows : her exquisite judgment in choosing and finding good servants, a point beyond the former : her profound discretion in assigning and appropriating every of them to their aptest employment: her penetrating sight in discovering every man's ends and drifts: her wonderful art in keeping servants in satisfaction, and yet in appetite: her inventing wit in contriving plots and overturns : her exact caution in censuring the propositions of others for her service : her foreseeing events: her usage of occasions :-he that shall consider of these, and other things that may not well be touched, as he shall never cease to wonder at such a queen, so he shall wonder the less, that in so dangerous times, when wits are so cunning, humours extravagant, passions so violent, the corruptions so great, the dissimulation so deep, factions so many; she hath notwithstanding done such great things, and reigned in felicity.” The last sentence is truly the crowning exaggeration. “ Time is her best commender, which never brought forth such a prince, whose imperial virtues contend with the excellence of her person ; both virtues contend with her fortune ; and both virtue and fortune contend with her fame." In 1592, Bacon vindicated the queen and government in his first political pamphlet, entitled “ Certain Observations upon a Libel.” It was probably undertaken to please some of the ministers who had been personally abused by his Jesuitical antagonist. The examination of the libel, upon the eight points " which he had observed in reading it,” is very com ” plete. It is a tract on the civil and ecclesiastical state of the kingdom, and it will be found to contain much interesting matter, especially under the second and third divisions of the subject. Men will judge very differently of Bacon's merits in the controversy. The respective cases of the catholic and puritan, dissenters are involved in it, and it would have been marvellous had the government scribe pleased either of these formidable factions. As a church-of-England man, he was in the predicament of having to make good his position against the Romanists, on grounds which were not calculated to afford him much assistance in contending with the protestant dissidents. The catholics, as the ousted party, sought to recover possession—to reconquer their spiritual domination—by open rebellion, by foreign invasion, and by the thunders of the Vatican; and therefore they were opposed to the queen's civil and ecclesiastical government. The puritans detested the popery of established protestantism, and were opposed only to her ecclesiastical regiment. But both fared alike, and both were treated as rebels. Severe penal laws were enacted to restrain both parties ;—their effect upon the papists was afterwards exhibited in the massacre of the protestants in Ireland, and the great rebellion may be considered as their natural effect on the English puritans. From that time to the present, these consequences have been in active operation; and as subjects have grown wiser, monarchs have grown milder. When governments infer political conduct from religious doctrine, civil treason from speculative opinion, overt sedition from simple non-uniformity; and proceed on this monstrous conclusion to take measures for punishing the holders of the doctrine as if it had been reduced to practice, the opinion as if it had brought forth treason, the non-uniformity as if the cold negative had precipitated itself into rampant sedition, legislation is turned into rank persecution, and such legislators provide for endless discord under pretence of preserving the peace. Bacon lived to urge more reasonable courses than those which he here attempts to justify. But he never understood the principles of religious liberty; he was trammelled by notions of official experience ; and the only party which could have furnished him with the most perfect clue of guidance through the thick-coming perplexities, was despised by him, and persecuted. Neither the papists, the church-of-Englandists, nor the puritans, whatever might be their immediate or avowed objects, whether restoration, stability, or further reformation, dreamed of a toleration; and the honour of first asserting the rights of conscience, was due to a sect which had no connexion with any of them. The Independents, whom Bacon refers to as the Brownists, a sort of nick-name which did not last long, were the first teachers of civil equality; and it is hardly credible that our author should thus write of a sect as crushed, which was destined so soon afterwards to "wrong the wronger till he rendered right.” After speaking in moderate terms of the puritans, he thus adverts to the "third kind of Gospellers, called Brownists.” “ And as for those which we call Brownists, being when they were at the most a very small number of very silly and base people, here and there in corners dispersed, they are now, thanks be to God, by the good (!) remedies that have been used, suppressed and worn out; so as there is scarce any news of them. Neither had they been much known at all, had not Brown their leader written a pamphlet, wherein, as it came into his head, he inveighed more against logic and rhetoric, than against the state of the church, which writing was much read; and had not also one Barrow, being a gentleman of a good house, but the that lived in London at ordinaries, and there learned to argue in table-talk, and so was very much known in the city and abroad, made a leap from a vain and libertine youth to a preciseness in the highest degree, the strangeness of which alteration made him very much spoken of; the matter might long before have breathed out.” This is as simple and foolish a sneer as ever was written. But will it be believed that this same Barrow, though the sect was "worn out,” was actually condemned to die for his “preciseness” the very next year? He and Greenwood were butchered, aye, and butchered privately, for their “preciseness,” in 1593! They had maintained that churches should not be dependent on the state; and they had dared to form them, and conduct religious exercises in them, in a manner different from that prescribed by state-authority; and they were condemned to die!“ A morning arrived,” says Vaughan,“ in which, at an early hour, these	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0049.json.gz/line58

ET (DEC.29, U.S.A.): The OneX site now is resolving to a server, although the site still appears to be down. (UPDATE 6:25 P.M. ET DEC. 29: The OneX site now appears to be back online after an absence of days. Whether is is fully functional is unclear.) Web data now suggest OneX is using a server in the United States. It previously used a server in Europe. Here, below, our post that reflected earlier events . . . At the time of this post, the website for “OneX” — a “program” pushed by AdSurfDaily President Andy Bowdoin — will not resolve to a server. Nor will the site return a ping. The ping returns “Timed out” error messages. Because the site will not resolve to a server, a message that the site “will be available in the next 24 hours” no longer appears at the URL for OneX. The development means that some or all OneX members and prospects are in an even greater information vacuum. The site has been inaccessible for days, although the PP Blog has learned OneX conducted a conference call yesterday and assured listeners the site would return after server problems caused by “inexperience” were solved. The call featured various cheerleaders, including a man identified as “J.C.,” apparently a company official. “J.C.,” explaining that he did not enjoy hype, assured listeners that “God” was on the side of OneX and that he anticipated 2.5 million riders on the OneX train by March. It was revealed during the call the OneX is using Canada-based Solid Trust Pay (STP). STP was one of the payment processors used by ASD and has a reputation for fueling Ponzi and fraud schemes. STP was among the processors used by alleged international swindler Nicholas Smirnow of Pathway To Prosperity, which the U.S. Postal Inspection Service said last year had defrauded tens of thousands of people from 120 countries. During the OneX conference call, J.C. explained that many members were showing “unbelievable tolerance” for the website problems. “Those who are not being patient do not understand what’s there,” J.C. asserted. Among other things, J.C. appealed to callers not to send in support tickets. “We’re having some — it’s load problems,” J.C. asserted, calling the development “teething problems.” J.C. also assured listeners that the company was “a thousand times” more frustrated than OneX members who cannot access the site. The OneX IT team was inexperienced in the area of “load testing” and wished to apologize for its lack of experience, J.C. said. “. . . We don’t know how to do heavy load-testing,” J.C. asserted. That the OneX website was being “slammed” by traffic was a “good thing,” J.C. asserted. “Hey,” he insisted, “these are pioneering days.” “We’re on a mission from God,” J.C. asserted. Bowdoin, who is facing trial on criminal charges of operating a Ponzi scheme through ASD that gathered at least $110 million, told conference-call listeners in October that God created OneX to help him win his criminal case. Although J.C. apparently agrees with Bowdoin that God is steering the OneX ship, J.C. told listeners that they should expect no support from their sponsors. Bowdoin has claimed that he is providing “leads” to his OneX recruits and that enrollees could make nearly $100,000 by paying $5. A woman on yesterday’s OneX call, which apparently was organized by a downline group with access to OneX management, claimed there were plenty of reasons to be excited about OneX. “In three months, we can look back . . . and laugh,” the woman claimed, later asserting the company started out “on horseback.” “You’re pioneers,” J.C. asserted. “This is huge.” OneX “leadership” will “roll up their sleeves” to solve problems, another woman asserted. J.C. said the firm would provide a “paved road” for members one day.

It would be funny to hear them for ourselves. Fredericus Jan 10, 2012 at 3:34 pm \| Permalink You really need to get your facts straight. If you were indeed on the call then you would have known the real reason why the site was down because it was mentioned on that particular call and also previous ones. The call was not a one-off, these calls take place very frequently. The membership have been kept informed throughout and knew that it would happen and the reasons why – none are the reasons you claim. The program is changing lives and if you really must write about it then would suggest you go through it with a fine toothcombe as I have and only report facts not fiction or half tales. Fredericus: You really need to get your facts straight. Help me on this, Fredericus. Where does OneX/QLXchange do their banking? What name is their SolidTrustPay account under? Who is J.C.? Does he live in the United States? Did OneX/QLXchange file a police/law-enforcement report when people purportedly used stolen credit cards to join? What was the name of the agency and how much money was involved? http://patrickpretty.com/2011/10/28/developing-story-message-board-for-members-of-onex-scheme-pushed-by-accused-ponzi-schemer-andy-bowdoin-claims-transfer-funds-option-disabled-because-members-are-using-stolen-credit-cards/ Also, do you have any concerns that Andy Bowdoin, an accused felon facing a possible prison term of 125 years and the principal figure in a massive Ponzi scheme, is pitching OneX? Are you confident Bowdoin and his AdSurfDaily colleagues have not polluted the OneX/QLXchange money stream with tainted proceeds? And are you the least bit concerned that OneX/QLXchange are using SolidTrustPay, one of the world’s great Ponzi-enablers? Oops. Forgot one, Fredericus. What’s your theory on why literally hundreds of spammers from all over the world are targeting OneX threads here? Wayne Caviness Apr 16, 2012 at 8:36 am \| Permalink I am also a member of OneX, This company was launched in June and has went through a lot of changes since then. They have had a lot of people that have come in with stolen credit cards and scammed the company. They are currently in the process of getting their own Payment Processor which is Direct Pay Express. You can look them up. Yes a Fredrick has said there are reasons why the sites down. These changes that I have talked about were for new product launches that they have had. They want to insure that the genealogy is kept intact. OneX is a one-time payment on each of the products. As far as JC, I believe he does live in the US. However, I am not certain of this. As far as I can see the company is taking the steps needed to setup this up to operate within the laws. Of course I am no lawyer…. As with any online program you will have spammers and people that take advantage of the system.The company has changed several times due to this fraudulent activities to protect itself as well as it’s members. As far as Andy Bowdoin, he’s possibly one of the few that have scammed the company. One of the reasons that the Company is going to DPS is so that they may be able to police accounts. They will require a government issued ID in order to withdraw funds that have been earned.This will be checked with OFAX I believe this is what it’s called. I am new to this type of program, the company has a great compensation plan. Again as far as legality again I’m no lawyer. The company makes no promises of income other than what is earned. It’s a business, similar to other MLM’s like Amway. The products are Lessons. Millions are spent daily on educational tools in the form of paperback and electronic downloadable ebooks. So you may want to investigate DPX as well. I am curious to see your findings. My understanding with DPX is they are a financial institution governed by international banking laws. You are allowed to only have one account, this has been a rule even before they ever launched in June of 2011. Many of the scammers didn’t follow this rule and the company has payed dearly for it. Which has taken away many of the tools that legitimate members used to build their business. One last thing before I end here, the company did have the total possible to earn posted in the beginning. However, with the advice of their legal team they took it down. Anyone can do the math and see that it is possible to earn that. But as with any business you have to work it and treat it like a business. You have my email, I will help you in any way that I can to investigate. I believe that OneX and QLXchange are legitimate. If you can show me otherwise, I’ll be happy to withdraw and help you in your cause. One more thing, I would love your input on the matrix. Does the 4×4 and 3×9 matrix which has the pyramid structure make it illegal? I look forward to hearing from you on this and as I said I will work with you to help you get to the bottom of this. Once you show me where the problem actually lies within this business. I forgot to let you know that OneX is in yet another transitional phase. They have introduced OneXPro and were scheduled to launch Easter weekend. There were several members that weren’t able to get funded due to the holiday, so the launch has been rescheduled. You may possibly see some downtime of the site as they run the script this this evening to ensure that the genealogy is kept intact. The site should be up most of the day today and should be running normally by Tuesday sometime. Please note that if they have a problem with the script, such as a glitch. You may experience some downtime. Again, thanks for your concerns and I look forward to hearing from you. Tony H Apr 16, 2012 at 4:25 pm \| Permalink Wayne Caviness: They are currently in the process of getting their own Payment Processor which is Direct Pay Express. You can look them up. OK, I’ll bite. Bryan Marsden was going to buy his own bank, and this will not be the first obvious ponzi scheme to attempt their own payment processor. I think CEP tried that. Direct Pay Express (DPX) is domain registered anonymously, I could find no address on their web site. The server seems to be in New Zealand, the only phone number seems to be in Florida. The TOS uses phrases that are also used by a Quebec government body, amongst others. Regardless of where DPX thinks it is located, if it offering services to US citizens, most states require it to have a money transmitter license. Usually the ponzi players make up some excuse about not needing a money transmitter license, but that didn’t work for E-Gold. OneX is an obvious ponzi scheme being promoted on the ponzi friendly forums, being promoted by well known ponzi promoters. If this obvious ponzi scheme needs to set up it’s own payment processor it usually means that even the usual ponzi friendly payment processors won’t touch it. Wayne Caviness: One more thing, I would love your input on the matrix. Does the 4×4 and 3×9 matrix which has the pyramid structure make it illegal? The answer is in the question. I know you are a busy man and I don’t want to keep bugging you. But can you tell us everything you know about OneX and how it operates. I have no idea what CEP is or should i say was? Seriously, I am on your side here. I’ve been scammed before and it’s not cool. You say obvious, Ponzi I am still not clear on this. You’ll have to excuse me, I am just old country boy that grew up on the farm. As I said before, I will help you with this as much as possible. I actually know most of what’s going on and how OneX works. I know what their plan is. I do know that this program has helped many people. Some that have worked it and others earned that haven’t worked it. As far as I know payments are still being paid. What they say makes sense to me. I understand your concerns, about addresses and all of this. I also understand that you are here to keep people from getting scammed. But what if OneX is actually a legitimate business? It’s not a get rich quick, it’s a business opportunity. Most people looking are looking for the something for nothing. When it doesn’t happen they cry scam…. Yes, of course these ponzi promoters are going to jump onboard if it’s going to make them money. But I assure you, the company is trying to take the steps to prosecute those that are committing the fraudulent activities. Up until recently the company was paying out 100% back to it’s members. They now receive 10% of all products sales, which I think is more than fair. This is a fairly new company that is still in the learning curve. I may have stated that DPX was their payment processor. I need to correct this if I did so. DPX does not belong to Qlxchange or OneX. DPX will also add an additional income stream to Qlxchange. Understand that QLxchange and OneX are both marketing companies. I don’t know JC personally, but he is an owner. So far, everything I see they are doing is for the members that actually want to build a business. The company is now making 10% of each product purchase in OneX. The company will make money in QLXchange, the compensation plan there is way over my head. It is actually MLM, where OneX looks like an MLM it’s really not. OneX is based on affiliate sales of the Lessons. Pays out on whatever Tier the Lesson is purchased. The payout is now split 4 ways. 10% to the company…. 45% to qualified member 22.5% to that members sponsor(matching bonus) 22.5% to the sponsors sponsor(leadership bonus) I was confused and didn’t understand how it was possible to earn the amount of $99,460 when I first joined. It was $5 one-time. I scratched my head for several months, and finally it clicked. Now that the company makes 10% you won’t actually earn $99460 and there is no reason unless JC just gets greedy why they should shut down and run with the money. Which I really don’t see it. The company’s making money as long as products are being sold. So let me show you how it’s possible to earn $99,460 – 10% = $89,514 I can legally say that it’s possible if the people work it as a b littleroundman Wayne Caviness: I actually know most of what’s going on and how OneX works. No, actually, you don’t. What you “know” is what you’ve been told. TRUE due diligence requires you to see AND verify all the relevant information. Playing at doing due diligence means you simply accept what you’re told as being accurate. How much of what you “know” could you actually prove in a court of law ?? If people want to “play” or “risk it” that’s fine, but they simply cannot expect to throw around terms like “due diligence” without at least understanding what is involved. « UPDATE: Text Cash Network Creates Even More Name Confusion With ‘ASSIGNMENT’ Clause That Appeared On ‘Purchase Agreement’ Page UPDATE: Jeffery Groendyke, Figure In CFTC Ponzi Case Filed Civilly In May, Pleads Guilty To Criminal Charge Of Wire Fraud After FBI Probe »	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0049.json.gz/line70

People feel like that’s them winning. If Joe could do it, they could do it. I definitely was the last ni**a on earth people would think be getting nominated for Grammys and doing movies.” And if he wins? “If I win, it’s over,” he said, still elated. “Don’t nobody wanna see this n—a win ’cause I’m losing it. I’m screaming, ‘The Bronx!’ I’m screaming, ‘Boriqua!’ Wow, it’s over. If I win it’s a problem.” Read more.

__label__cc	0.72614	0.27386	Category Archives: Hardware Infernal Designs April 13, 2010 Hardware, IdiotsDan Or: “Learn, guys.” (With apologies to Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett for stealing one of their lines, John Gruber for borrowing his idea, JerkCity for using one of their character names, readers for putting them through this, andâ€¦ oh, God. Everyone, for everything. Except AT&T. For anything.) Satan holds audience in one of his smaller, but still imposing, rooms. He sits on a throne hewn of flint, its lines simple and rectangular, its bulk as intimidating as its dark-gray matte. Two of his aspiring imps, Atandt and Sissko, approach the throne to present their work, a small white device Atandt holds before him. Atandt smiles unctuously, but then, he always smiles unctuously. One suspects that he’d sleep with that expression, if he ever slept. Sissko, on the other hand, just stares off into the distance. His hands are constantly moving, half-raised, seeming to trace out abstract shapes. Their styles, however, differ fundamentally: it’s as though the left and right hand are working to completely separate ends. Which they usually are. Satan: Report. Atandt clears his throat and begins. Atandt: It’s a network box. It grants those who pay me $150 the functionality that they thought they were buying when they signed up for a two-year contract in the first place. Satan: (Nods once, briefly.) And? Atandt: It’s bound to a strict limit of ten devices, which you have to add through a web interface that connects to my headquarters, giving me insight into your associations. Satan: (A ghost of a smile flits briefly across his face.) So the arbitrary limits are accompanied by potential violations of privacy. Nice. What else? Atandt: By default, any voice communication still counts against users’ minutes, even though they’re like as not using bandwidth purchased from a completely independent party to transmit the packets. If they want unlimited minutes, they have to pay me an additional $20 a month. Satan considers what he’s heard so far with one raised eyebrow. His earlier brief smile has lulled Atandt into a false sense of security. Satan: Hmm. Go on. Atandt: Well, that’s pretty much it. Satan: (eyes narrowing) Excuse me? Atandt: (caught off-guard) Sir? With a speed that belies his size, Satan takes to his feet, his eyes glowing the deep orange of late-campfire embers. Smoke wafts ominously from his tightly-clenched left fist. Satan: You’ve had months to work on this, time to study every major competitor’s submission, and this is the extent of your imagination? (His lips curl as he snarls the end of the question, revealing teeth whose clean perfection does nothing to dull the razor’s edge of their menace.) Atandt: (stammering) Sâ€¦sir? Satan’s eyes glow brightly enough that both Atandt and Sissko are lit like beachgoers facing a sunset. Sissko looks vaguely nonplussed, as usual, but Atandt clearly realizes that the sunset he’s facing could well be his own. Satan: Give me one reason why I shouldn’t snuff you out of existence right now! Besides force-feeding you rusted razor wire so I can add you to the Penance Abacus! The thought of the Penance Abacus pales Atandt, his skin fading to an unhealthily dull brick red. He hears a voice from far away, and it takes him a moment to realize it’s his own. Atandt: (softly, blinking) Our solution to the problem will require the user’s solution of a similar, but not identical, problem. Satan: (still irate, but intrigued) Explain. Atandt: (clinging to the loose thread that’s barely keeping him out of the abyss) We’ll insist that the unit can only be used in certain geographic areas. We’ll enforce that by building GPS into it, and requiring GPS confirmation of the unit’s position before enabling it. Satan pauses thoughtfully for a moment, then sits back down. He tilts his head and purses his lips thoughtfully, idly drumming on the throne’s armrest with the claws of his left hand. Atandt tries not to flinch with every flare of ensuing sparks. Then, to both his and Satan’s surprise, Sissko speaks for the first time. Sissko: Doesn’t that sort of defeat the purpose of the whole thing? Requiring people who can’t get a solid cell-tower signal to get a clean GPS signal? Anybody with a fast, wired internet connection who’s stuck inside a building without some view of the sky will be screwed. (He realizes that the other two are staring at him the way automotive engineers would contemplate a colleague bemoaning that a proposed engine design would deliver at least 150 miles per gallon.) Oh. Right. Satan: Is it feasible? Sissko: Sure. Of course, it’d mean stripping other hardware features down to the bare minimum. (He notes that the other two are staring again.) So, uh, bonus. Satan: (not yet convinced that Sissko is getting the picture) Describe the interface. Sissko: Blinking lights on the front? Satan nods once, prompting Sissko to continue. Sissko: No built-in HTTP server or support for SNMP. No logging. Basically, no way at all to tell what the heaven is going on or what, if anything, is wrong. Satan: (nodding more firmly this time) Good. Atandt: (Now really getting into the spirit of the thing.) We’ll add a vague but long delay to the setup process. Tell users that after they’ve done everything on their end, they’ll have to wait for something on the order of two hours to see if things are working. (Thinks for a moment.) We’ll even instruct them, in the manual, to “relax” while they’re twiddling their thumbs, waiting to see if the blinking lights go solid. Satan: And in the end, it’ll work? There is a pregnant pause, at the end of which the three burst out laughing, Atandt so hard that sulphuric-acid tears start glistening in his eyes. Atandt: (Wiping his cheeks dry.) No. But we’ll provide a technical-support number that they can call. It’ll answer with a completely confusing message that’ll make end-users think they’ve accidentally dialed some internal-service number. Satan: Won’t there be a website that they can use to sidestep the support line? Atandt: (Shrugging.) Of course. The support site and the promotional site will be one and the same. People trying to visit the former, in a desperate attempt to get runningÂ the hardware they already paid for, will be treated to a video ad that starts automatically, doesn’t have pause or mute buttons, and has a lady with a perky voice delivering the pitch.Â Not only will they harbor homicidal urges towards her after the third time she’s given her spiel, tops, but links on that page will open new tabs in the foreground, so that desperate attempts to click her away will only hide her in the background while she rambles on. Satan regards Atandt levelly for a moment, briefly wondering if he should worry about the understudy’s seemingly bottomless well of perversity. Then he remembers that he’s the father of lies, and Atandt merely his prodigal son. Satan: Won’t they try to return it? Atandt: (Unctuous grin now back to full power.) What, and implicitly admit that I suckered them into buying a half-baked product? Again? Besides, it’s got firmware. As long as you dangle the hope in front of them that a future update might fix their problems, people will bend over for anything. Satan: Hmm. Good point. Sissko: Also, we’ll make sure there’s a port for an external GPS antenna. That way, at least some of them will burn just a little more time and money on the acquisition of extra gear that might make things work. So we foster false hope from both the software and hardware ends. Satan: (leans back in the throne, contemplating them both, impressed despite himself) Well. After a bit of a rough start, you’ve accounted yourselves well. (He waves them off.) Carry on. Oh, and send Sony in on your way out. Inverted Pendulum September 16, 2007 HardwareDan It’s just a box, on rails, controlled by some clever software. So why are this little machine’s tireless efforts to keep its weight aloft so endearing? May 26, 2007 HardwareDan Recent acquisition of a hot-air rework station, and attendant attempts at surface-mount soldering, have taught me that, to paraphrase Frank Herbert, “God made SMD rework to train the faithful. One cannot go against the will of God.” In truth, it’s more than a little gratifying once you start to get the hang of it. Spark Fun‘s excellent tutorials help quite a bit. But there’s a point, somewhere around the fifth time you’ve blown a component the approximate size of a fingernail clipping clean off the board, where you start to wonder whether maybe you wouldn’t be more fulfilled collecting stamps or something. Things (I think) I’ve learned so far: The fact that you’re working on a very small part does not automatically imply that you should use the small nozzle. The small nozzle produces faster airflow, which increases your odds of accidentally blowing a small part about. Don’t overdo it when you dome a pad in preparation for soldering down a component. Soldering through-hole parts using an iron accustoms you to using lots of solder as you build joints. SMD is all about very thin layers of solder pulling components into place via surface tension. Excessively generous domes just get squished by your component’s lands, sending solder to places where odds are you didn’t want it. If I succeed in my current rework attempt, I might actually attempt to build something new next. The IEEE Comedy Hour December 27, 2006 HardwareDan Yesterday I stopped by the Apple Store to buy a short, thin FireWire cable, just about the perfect length and weight for conveniently connecting the external drive I now use as the destination for my SuperDuper! backups. The cable lists for $14, and was my only purchase: the Cisco employee discount of 8%, combined with the California State Sales Tax of 8.25%, conspired to produce a register total of exactly $13.94. I’m not sure I was successful in explaining to the bemused fellow behind the counter just why I thought that was funny. It may be that I need more sleep. On Second Thought, Maybe It Wasn’t Thirsty November 28, 2006 HardwareDan Should you happen to, say, accidentally dump a healthy helping of Diet Pepsi upon your MacBook’s keyboard and find that, despite prompt flood-control measures, a column of keys has become unresponsive to user input, you may conclude that the time has come to open it up for cleaning. If you’d rather not find your way into a $1500 laptop via a trial-and-error approach, then you’d do well to peruse iFixit‘s excellent, detailed, and exhaustively illustrated guide to stripping the computer down to its bones before picking up that jeweler’s screwdriver. Highly recommended. The Size of Things To Come December 2, 2005 Hardware, MusicDan McSweeney’s Internet Tendency offers us a chance to glimpse the future of portable music, in the form of leaked documentation for the iPod zepto. Time, Time, Time November 17, 2005 Hardware, SoftwareDan I’ve mentioned that PC clock hardware is a raging piece of shite, right? Ah, yes, I see that I have. Good. Then I don’t have to repeat myself. I just need to elaborate: it’s even worse than I realized. I thought that the uncorrected Linux box was in a bad way, but one of my Windows XP boxen appears to be gaining minutes a day. I’m hesitant to use a gratuitous explosion of profanity like “holy fuck” in a public forum, but little else comes to mind that’s capable of fully conveying my astonishment. So: weekly synchronization with an external time server is clearly not going to suffice, and more-frequent synchronization might be considered rude by the target servers’ owners — especially since I’ve got my own perfectly servicable stratum 3 server at home. It’s therefore time for me to figure out how to make Windows talk to said server — often enough to keep its own sorry ass in some reasonable approximation of sync. A bit of Googling later, I discover that there are Registry keys you can tweak to both add a server and change the polling frequency. I’ll have to play with them. Some of these values may be more-easily manipulable using the command-line w32tm utility. If all else fails, I can have the machine run its own instance of ntpd slickly packaged by the good folks at Meinberg. I’m sort of hoping it doesn’t come to that, though. I/O Brush November 9, 2005 HardwareDan Thomas Knoll, eat your heart out. The I/O Brush bridges the gap between the “eyedropper” and the real world. “It Is A Licence To Print Money!” September 25, 2005 Hardware, MusicDan On Friday two weeks ago, Frank, Meghan, and I paid a visit to the Valley Fair Apple Store to see if the new iPod nanos had arrived. Just to, you know, look. Because I am terminally lazy, I am simply going to shamelessly crib what I wrote elsewhere. Important Safety Tip: Do not pick one of these up unless you are prepared to buy it. Once it is in your hand, you will not want to let it go. It’s like The One Ring of portable audio players. Touch its ensorcelled metal, and you instantly covet the Precious. It’s not just that it’s small, although it is ridiculously so. Plenty of other portable players occupy roughly the same volume. But they don’t have the deceptively-simple perfection of proportion. The nano isn’t just compact: it’s a thin, flat slab that lies lightly on your fingers, with all the controls situated exactly under your thumb, in a way that strongly suggests that nothing else has any business being there again, ever. Also, it’s not a stripped-down player with two buttons and possibly a small numeric monochrome LCD. It’s a full-bore iPod, with a bright, high-resolution color display, the full UI, and the scroll wheel that’s such an absolute delight to use. I’ve been using technology long enough that I’d thought I’d gotten completely jaded about the notion that next year’s model will be half the size of last year’s, and do twice as much, but holding the nano, I feel like someone in Scheduling screwed up, and let the future arrive well before it was supposed to. I almost feel sorry for everyone else making portable music players. It’s like a bunch of Shriners got together one fine Sunday morning to race their little go-carts, and some bastard pulled up to the starting line in a Ferrari. Doom. Apple is going to be Hoovering up design awards for this one in the year to come the way I vacuum up spilled cat litter. They’re also, assuming they can meet consumer demand, going to want an extra shipment of leaf bags for all the cash they’ll be raking in. Apparently the black 4 GB model is so popular that Apple is already having to retool production to crank out enough of the things.	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0049.json.gz/line74
__label__wiki	0.646102	0.646102	theoretical experiments Vortrag доклад Talk Jan Levchenko: Disappearing Formalism: Figures of Compensation in Victor Shklovsky’s Prose of the Early 1930s The present paper is devoted to Viktor Shklovsky’s ironic reflection on his well-known penitential article “Monument to a Scientific Error” (1930), in which he ritually renounced his basic Formalist ideas. Soon after this opportunistic deed he published two significant books – “A Hunt for Optimism”, written in his usual combination of prose, criticism and scholarliness, and “A Tale on Shadows” – a parable for a children’s audience. Though incomparable in scope, the books both demonstrated the new writing strategy of the former Formalist. His discourse became winding, vague and ambiguous due to the rhetorical gestures that the new political context demanded he use to hide the theoretical work. Actually Shklovsky had not turned away from his path of ironical self-estrangement, as can be seen in his autobiographical novels after “Sentimental Journey”(1923). Indeed he intended to adopt the new historical challenge and was secure in his knowledge of literary techniques. He failed to notice only one thing – that the newest trends exclude any possibility of theory. The two aforementioned books illustrate the dramatic struggle with the former analytical “self” that the former theorist was soon forced to demonstrate. topics: The Methodology of Error The Methodology of Error Bernhard Sallmann „Zoo, or letters not about love“, 2006 Video Essay for Split Screen based on the Berlin-novel “ZOO, or Letters not about Love” (1923) by the Soviet Writer Viktor Shklovsky Germany, 2006 more weiterlesen Anthony Iles: Viktor Shklovsky’s Critique of a Political Economy of Art Shklovsky begins his seminal text, "Art as Device", with critiques of diverse formulations of the ‘laws’ of economy governing creative effort and perception in poetic and prose language. more Steve Sabella Steve Sabella, born in Jerusalem in 1975, is a Berlin based artist who uses photography and photographic installation as his principle modes of expression.

__label__wiki	0.921177	0.921177	Home » Canoe bitten after accidently running into shark Canoe bitten after accidently running into shark Shark vs. boat: It’s a tie An outrigger canoe club coach may have escaped a shark attack unscathed, but he also got a clear message from the guy in the gray suit: “Run me over and I’ll bite your tail.” Kukui‘ula Outrigger head coach Keone Miyake and a small group of paddlers were doing a training paddle from Kalapaki in Nawiliwili, to Kukui‘ula in Po‘ipu, on Dec. 21 when something unexpected happened off Makahuena Point on the South Shore. “I was surfing on a wave and I ran into a 7-foot to 8-foot shark,” Miyake said. “After the collision, he spun around and charged me.” Miyake said he tried to paddle away, but the shark was able to grab the canoe’s rudder. “He was shaking it and trying to flip me over,” he said. At that point, Miyake swung the paddle at the shark and yelled at it, causing the shark to swim away. Miyake said this wasn’t the first shark attack this year that he knows of. “There were a couple of (shark) attacks earlier this year,” Miyake said, adding that the attacks took place in the South Shore. “Mine was the third one.” He said he and his team members always try to paddle close together and in pairs for safety reasons. It also wasn’t the first time a shark tried to make a meal out of a canoe. Miyake said a similar incident happened with one of his friends near Palama Pond, South Shore, when the paddler also ran into a shark. The shark got mad and attacked the canoe, but the paddler apparently escaped unscathed, Miyaka said. As for Miyake, he can now say he survived a shark attack. But the shark is the one with bragging rights — Miyake’s canoe rudder might have to be replaced. The experienced waterman, however, seems OK with it. He didn’t blame the shark, rather the increasing number of people in the ocean. “I’m not mad at the shark because it’s his home,” Miyake said. “I’m just happy that he only grabbed my rudder and not me.

__label__cc	0.598658	0.401342	Home » Mote receives NOAA grant for shark fishing study Mote receives NOAA grant for shark fishing study By Robin Hartill \| City Editor The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded Mote Marine Laboratory a $192,000 grant to study how sharks fare after anglers release them. In the study, Mote scientists will record fine-scale movements of released sharks in unprecedented detail, using accelerometers, or tags with motion-sensing technology, which will be attached to the dorsal fins of sharks that are caught. Scientists will collect a blood sample from each caught shark and use the accelerometer to measure stress-related hormones in the sharks’ blood. The study will help resource managers maintain healthy shark fisheries. “For the first time, we’ll take a magnifying glass to sharks’ behavior after release — for instance, we’ll look at how strongly they’re swimming after capture and whether they’re rolling or listing,” said project leader Dr. Nick Whitney, a staff scientist in Mote’s Center for Shark Research, in a prepared statement. “These measurements go way beyond ‘dead or alive.’ The vast majority of sharks may survive, but it’s important to know if their recovery time varies with different kinds of fishing gear. Our technique will yield new, hard data comparing standard J-hooks with circle hooks, which are designed to be safer for sharks.” Source: YourObserver.com	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0049.json.gz/line82

(SNAPP Reviews aren’t really full-fledged game reviews as much as they are just a way for us to give you a quick “heads-up” on whether a game is good or not. It usually means that we haven’t finished the game yet, but have played a good enough chunk to know if it’s worth your time or money.) It took me a little while to figure out what Fancade really is. Originally, I just thought that it was an app with a bunch of mini-games on it, but once you dig a little deeper, there’s a lot more involved. Fancade is a game creation tool/studio that recently released on the App Store by indie developer Martin Magni. We’ve seen games released like this before with game making tools built within them, but nothing like this. Fancade has dozens of games already built into the app. Everything from racing games, puzzle games, platformers, and everything in between. There’s a Quest Mode where you can work your way through the pre-built worlds. Then there’s the Arcade with thousands of levels/games created by players that are growing everyday. What’s nice is that everything can be easily played/built within Fancade’s ecosystem online or offline. Games are fairly simple to create, but I’ve had more fun just playing through everyone else’s creations. Of course, Fancade is F2P, so unfortunately there’s ads, timers, and a subscription service to get rid of the ads and timers. I’ve been playing for awhile and never really felt that the F2P mechanics were too bold or “in your face”. But, if you’re playing a lot, then spending a buck a month isn’t that bad of a deal. If you’d like a great entry point into creating games or just like playing wacky games that other people make, Fancade is definitely worth checking out. ‎Fancade (🚨🚨SNAPP Attack really needs your help!

The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine (562) features a focus on illustrators and their role in visualising the Doctor Who universe. For anyone who has seen The Dalek Book and The Dalek World publications from the 1960s, you’ll instantly recognise the ever so slightly wrong illustration of a Dalek, recreated for the DWM cover (complete with alien writing on the head, which was actually replicated from an image with an on set post-it note from the Director, stuck on during rehearsals just so he could tell the Daleks apart!). The article features contributions from such illustrators as Chris Achilléos, Colin Howard, Martin Geraghty, Stuart Crouch, Anthony Dry and Anthony Lamb. Plus there are a slew of other articles and features in the issue as well, including an interview with John Lloyd about an unmade script he wrote for the show that is soon to be released as a Big Finish audio. Other publications from the makers of DWM include a new series titled Doctor Who Chronicles. The series will focus on pivotal years of the show’s history, with in depth analysis of the milestone moments of that year. The first to be released is 1965 – the year of Dalekmania! These follow issue 561 of DWM which focused on Target books (new and old) and the recent reprint of The Dalek Chronicles comic book series. New Target books are due out this month, including novelisations of such stories (reissued in the Target format if released before) as the Eighth Doctor TV Movie, Resurrection of the Daleks, Revelation of the Daleks, The Pirate Planet, Dalek, The Crimson Horror and The Witchfinders. Plus BBC Books are bringing out The Ruby’s Curse – A River Song / Melody Malone Mystery, written by none other than Alex Kingston! And Candy Jar Books have announced the second novel in series eight of their Lethbridge-Stewart series, Fear Frequency written by George Ivanoff. There are a number of non-fiction books hitting the shelves as well, including a book from Fantom Publishing that looks at the life of Doctor Who Director Douglas Camfield, simply titled Directed by Douglas Camfield. Also, the long out of print behind-the-scenes book Script Doctor by classic series showrunner Andrew Cartmel has not only been reissued but also updated, with a new introduction by Steven Moffat, delivering the ultimate inside look at Doctor Who from 1986 to 1989. So there are plenty of great books for fans to dive into while we are all awaiting new episodes, animated reconstructions and those beautiful Blu-Ray box sets! « The Doctor Returns on Blu-Ray DWCA Western Sydney Tavern – on again 12 March »	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0049.json.gz/line91
__label__cc	0.656882	0.343118	A few gifts for Peggy I must have looked like a delivery boy – one of those classic characters from a 1930s black and white comedy films complete with shit-eating grin, arms loaded down with packages and waiting for someone at the bar to stick a foot out to trip me. I had everything but the bow tie, uniform and silly hat. I had spent hours at home with Scotch Tape, wrapping paper and ribbon to package everything, box after box, glittering under the bar lights looking fancier than they really were, a late delivery by Santa that nobody at the My Way expected to get, least of all, Peggy. These boxes were piled so high I barely got them though the door and I was not quite sure if I had dropped one of the smaller ones on my way across Main Avenue from the parking lot. Once through the door, I then had to navigate the narrow space between the café tables and the bar stools, bumping into the juke box when I inadvertently turned the wrong way, then into the backs of some of the regular patrons, only to bounce back against the cigarette machine, the video poker machine, like I was the ball in a pinball game, hoping that all of this eventually accumulated points to an eventual winning score. I couldn’t actually see directly in front of me so nearly ran into a drunken patron who was staggering back to his stool from a visit to the rest room in the rear. Some of the stanch regulars glared at me as I passed them, grim expressions grinding out their displeasure at disrupting their world with this obvious alteration in their otherwise normal routine. Even some of the irregular patrons looked up in surprise, faces still flushed from watching one of the dancers, annoyed at having their attention drawn away by me and my packages. All squinted at my trying to figure what this was all about and growing even more annoyed by the fact that they couldn’t. Mary, filling a glass full of beer on the far side of the narrow oval bar, looked up, foam flowing over the rim of the glass and onto her fingers. “Oh no!” she moaned. She deposited the glass on the drain, the intended patron raising his hand to object to its lost as she rushed around the island to reach me on the other side, following along with me on the inside of the bar until I reached a vacant stool. “Are you out of your fucking mind?” she asked, struggling to keep the volume of her voice down so this came out something like a croak. I put the packages on the bar near the stage and slipped onto the stool. The first dancer eyed me strangely as well as she concluded her set, slipped down from the stage, giving me an angry look for distracting the patron at that critical time when she had to make up her mind which one she intended to sit with. “What do you men?” I asked Mary. “I mean,” Mary said, pushing out the words between clenched teeth, “If the boss sees this, he’ll put you out permanently.” “But they’re gifts for Peggy.” “I know they’re gifts for Peggy,” Mary said, clearly exasperated. “That’s the problem. God only knows how she’ll react.” “I hope they’ll make her happy.” “Happy?” Mary said, looking even more puzzled at which point Wolfman howled from his end of the bar. Mary glanced at my face. “Get this stuff out of here while there’s still time,” she said. “No way,” I said. “It took me some time to assembly this collection and I’m going to make sure Peggy gets it.” Mary started to respond, but Wolfman howled again, and then Peggy appeared out of the ladies room, both events making Mary sag. “It’s your funeral, Al,” she mumbled and hurried off. Peggy hadn’t noticed me yet. She was too full of her usual routine, her nose uplifted as she passed the pool table and its collection of taunting thugs. She never acknowledged them or their taunts, but she always seemed pleased by their attention. She snarled at Wolfman’s minions who giggled when she reached the gate into the bar to undergo Wolfman’s usual inspection. At this point, she paused, frowning over Wolfman’s odd reception. His minions giggled, but in anticipation of Wolfman’s explosion. And he looked about ready to explode, too, but seemed determined to hold it back, looking straight at her for a moment and then slowly, turned to look at me. Sure, I could have grabbed up those boxes again and tried to escape. Perhaps somewhere in the back of my brain that thought even registered a little. But by the time I became of aware of it, Peggy saw me – her gaze following Wolfman’s to where I sat. She stared, her frown turning into something even odder, a bewildered look. Gone was the arrogant queen high on herself and the cocaine she had snorted in the ladies room, replaced by an astonished look that left her mouth hanging slightly open. The music selection from the previous dander stopped, plunging the bar into yet another silence, one filled only by the shuffle of stools and the cough of nervous men. Peggy’s mouth closed as eh squinted hard at me, one of her painted eye brows rising high onto her forehead like a question mark. She clearly saw the packages piled high on the bar and had to have known I had brought them for her, and I could see – even though her face was half hidden in shadow – an odd smile rising onto her lips. She said something to Wolfman I could not hear. Mary, who had worked her way up the bar again to a point a few feet from me said, “It’s too late to do anything now, Al. This might blow over yet. I’ll get you another beer.” I didn’t know what to expect to happen next. Nothing really did – not at first. Mary dropped another beer in front of me then hurried to the cash register from which she extracted five quarters – and delivered these to Peggy, who still stared at me, even as the coins jingled in her hand. Peggy continued to star even as she began her march down the outside of the bar to the juke box. But she didn’t linger there the way she usually did, punching out the all too familiar tunes she wanted to dance to, then she hurried back to the gate where Wolfman let her pass inside and to the stage. Perhaps for the first time in her life, Peggy was actually speechless. Other men had given Peggy gifts before, of course, drugs, tickets to concerts or other bribes they thought might get her to bed down with them. But no one apparently had packaged their gifts up in Christmas wrap and carried them into the bar for every one to see. In a world where nearly everything followed predictable patterns, where nearly everybody said or did largely the same things with only minor variations, this gifting was a stunning departure, and it even managed to stun Peggy, who bumped into Marry as she climbed onto the stage. Wolfman could not longer contain himself and snorted, then let out a long invective about Santa Claus and Peggy’s getting starry-eyed over some fucking boxes, and how if she doesn’t pay attentiuon to her dancing, she and the boxes would wind up on the street with the winos and the pimps. If Peggy heard any of this, she showed no sign. She danced no faster nor slower than she had before, and she continued to glance my way, at me and the boxes, looking very much like an intrigued kitten who could not resist being drawn to a string, struggling to maintain an air of indifference, but clearly unsuccessfully. Her frustration, however, showed with each glance at the closk, as if she could not hurry time so as to end her set and let her come down to investigate what these boxes were all about. Time conspired against Peggy. Half way through Peggy’s set, Mary scooted over to where I sat, touched my hand with her pink painted fingernails pressing every so slightly into my flesh. She motioned with her other hand for me to lean over the bar, which I did, and her paint painted lips came close to my ears. “The boss says for you to leave,” she said. “But I have to…” “He wants you to leave and this time it’s for good.” “I’m banned? Why?” “The boss doesn’t want men romancing his dancers.” “I’m not romancing anybody.” “That’s not the way he sees it,” Mary said, keeping her voice down even as she backed away from my ear. “It’s one of his rules. No romances. No boyfriends. No sex in the bar. Dancers are here to dance. That’s all.” “Are you telling me dancers can’t have boyfriends?” “Sure they can,” Mary said. “They can have all the boyfriends they want, all the lovers they can handle, they can even have husbands, just not in the bar. It keeps down the fights.” “I’m not anything to Peggy,” I said, glaring down to where Wolfman sat. He glared back, his cigar frozen in one place although it glowed intensely orange as he pulled hard on it, smoke swirling around his head as if he was the one on fire, not the cigar. “Just go, Al,” Mary pleaded. “The boss can be very mean when he needs to be.” I sat there for a very long moment and then said, “All right, I’ll go. But can I leave the packages?” “I suppose,” Mary said with a shrug. “As long as you’re not here when Peggy gets down. The boss is peeved enough to have you escorted out, and his boys are never gentle.” I slipped off the stool, dropped some money on the bar, then slowly turned to leave. “Hey!” Peggy roared from the state. “Where the hell do you think you’re going now?” I stopped, my shoulders hutched. I could feel her stare at my back like the point of knife. I would also feel Wolfman’s stare, and struggled to figure out which was more dangerous. “Let the fucking asshole go,” Wolfman shouted. “Tell him to pack up his fucking presents and leave. This ain’t Christmas any more.” Mary shut off the juke box again, Madonna’s voice grinding to a halt mid-word. Once again, an uncanny silence filled the interior of the bar and again the men stirred and coughed uncomfortably. I did not turn. I did not look at anybody – not Peggy, not Wolfman, not Mary or any of the other men. I just stared at the door, wishing I had managed to reach it before all this exploded. “But I don’t want him to leave,” Peggy shouted, her voice sounding shrill. Her reflection showed in one of the side mirrors. “Well, he can’t stay here,” Wolfman said. “You know the rule about boyfriends.” “He’s not my boyfriend.” “If he brings presents, he is.” “Loot’s of people giving me things,” Peggy yelled. “That doesn’t make them my boyfriends.” “Drinks are okay. Shit from Bloomingdale’s ain’t.” “For Christ’s sake. You don’t know what’s in those boxes any more than I do. Stop acting as if the guy just bought me a mink coat.” “If it ain’t mink, then it’s something worse, lace maybe.” “You’re fucking jealous. That’s what this is all about.” “I am not.” “Yes, you are,” Peggy howled. “I know the look and you got it. That’s why you’re always giving me such a hard time about the men who come to see me. You don’t mind me hurting the newbies, but God help the man who you think actually wants to get me in bed.” “Stop it,” Wolfman yelled. “I won’t. And you can’t make me.” “But I can make him leave,” Wolfman said. “A rule is a rule and he’s got to go.” “If he leaves, I go with him.” This last startled me so I actually turned to look at her. Wolfman seemed as stunned as I was, and it took him a moment to respond, and finally he did. “Fine,” he said. “Go.” Peggy snorted, snatched up her tips from the corner of the stage, climbed down, marched along the bar to where Wolfman said. She didn’t even stop. She just gave him the figure as she passed through the gate, and rushed passed the pool table to the ladies room, from which she reemerged a moment later, carrying her street clothes. She walked up to where I stood, stopped, glared back at Wolfman. “You know where to reach me when you want me back,” she snarled, then glanced at me. “What are you waiting for, an invitation.” I started towards the door. She grabbed my arm. “Are you forgetting something?” she asked, and tilted her head towards the pile of boxes still on the bar. “Oh yeah,” I said, and grabbed them up, performing the same precarious balancing act on the way out as I had coming in. Mary switched back on the juke box as Wolfman sent one of his minions to pound on the ladies room door to roust out the other dancer. “You’ll come crawling back!” one of the regulars mumbled as Peggy walked by. “Never,” she said indignantly, and shoved the door open, holding barely long enough for me to slip through with her presents.	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0049.json.gz/line100
__label__wiki	0.552199	0.552199	AI Spotlight: Mike and Wayne By Mike August 12, 2014 August 11, 2014 Spotlight Today’s Spotlight comes to us from Florida in the form of a film called Mike and Wayne about two guys who attempt to rob a liquor store to no avail. It’s well animated, well designed and it’s choice of palette colors is particularly refreshing. AI: So let’s start out by having you introduce yourself and tell us a little about where you’ve come from to get you to this make this film. Esteban: Hey! My name is Esteban Valdez, I’m the Founder of Echo Bridge Pictures and we’re an animation production company based in St Petersburg, Fla. and since our start we’ve worked on some incredibly high profile projects and respected names in the business like FOX, FXX, CBBeeies, UMG and Edelman. We’re focused on 2D production for music videos, commercials, corporate and educational videos, short and feature films, documentaries and episodic shows for television and the web. I started back in 2000 working at small shops in and around Boston, MA. In late 2010 I planted some roots in St Pete and founded the studio. Since then Echo Bridge has grown to be an artist driven studio where we work pretty damn hard everyday to do what many other people thought was only possible in LA and NYC. AI: Some good credits! So tell us what “Mike and Wayne” is about and who are these little blue guys? Esteban: It’s about these two dumbasses named Mike & Wayne. They’re the titular characters of our new short film who are not the sharpest knives in the proverbial drawer. Their mission is simple: get rich quick by robbin’ and stealin’. Their target: the local liquor store. What our fearless (anti)heroes don’t know is that the Cornah Store has the best defenses imagination can provide. Follow Mike & Wayne as they strive to make their dreams come true and are met with spectacular failure. All for your enjoyment. AI: Sounds like an interesting concept. I particularly liked the style and your choice of color. The backgrounds are beautiful too! Esteban: Thanks! Well, a lot of the inspiration came from indie comics and zines and when it came to color I felt it only best to keep with that feel. What was challenging about it too was that it’s both easy to see mistakes cause there’s no place to hide those mishaps and the work can also disappear if the values aren’t probably separated. And with everything packed with detail as it is it pushed us artistically. Maybe we’re just artistic masochists because we’re always looking to do something we haven’t done and that challenges us. We don’t do easy around these parts. AI: So how did the idea for the film come about? Esteban: The idea had been swimming around in my head/sketchbook for a few years, mostly inspired by the classic Tom & Jerry cartoons and the styling of Daniel Clowes and Robert Crumb. To make something simple and in your face without having to be so overly developed and processed… I like to think of Mike & Wayne as a punk rock tune. Edgy, fast paced, no bullshit, and raw. And much like punk, it wasn’t about satisfying others it’s about making something that we liked, that made us laugh. Art’s so subjective and if you’re trying to please every demographic you’re going to end up with something you don’t enjoy looking at or love doing. AI: Who worked on the film? Esteban: I wrote the original premise and provided art and animation direction, however for this project we really took a different approach than we normally do on client work. We got everyone together and pitched ideas around for scenarios. The ideas that made us laugh the most is what made it into the film so all in all there’s a little bit of each of us throughout the film. When it came to the audio portion that was done mostly by my good friend and former band mate, Mark Mniece. He and I had some serious back and forth trying to get things just right. Then Mark did what he did best and mixed us his best work on that track. AI: What technology was used in it’s creation? Esteban: We used Storyboard Pro 4 for storyboards and animatics, Flash CS5 for preproduction and production, Premiere CS5 for post, Reason and ProTools for audio production using a Fender Highway One Bass, Gibson SG Guitar through an Apogee Ensemble and Korg Keyboard for additional instruments. All our planning, coordinating, scheduling, tracking and file management was done through Basecamp and all things finance wise was handled via Quickbooks by myself and our accountant. AI: How was it funded? Esteban: The film was financed by the studio (Echo Bridge). It was expensive, but the end result is something we’re all really happy with. AI: What is the end result for the film as in will you put it in festivals or was it just a personal piece you did for fun? Esteban: The short film has been submitted to roughly 20 festivals worldwide and we’re really hoping it does well. In the meantime the next 5 episodes are already in preproduction, and we’ve recently signed on with the Channel Frederator Network to produce a 12 episode season of Mike & Wayne. A couple of broadcast networks have also shown high interest in Mike & Wayne, but we feel that the nature of the project is best suited for the net. We’re really working hard to make sure that each cartoon is constantly raising the bar, getting crazier and out there. So far, the reviews we’ve been getting from people we’ve shown this too has been nothing short of awesome and we’re really pumped to be producing something of our own.

Trivia & References "Love Hurts" is a reference to the song of the same name by The Everly Brothers, which was most famously covered by Scottish hard rock band Nazareth in 1975. "Love Hurts" was also previously used in episode 6.14 Mannequin 3: The Reckoning, which was also written by Eric Charmelo & Nicole Snyder. The episode has a theme reminiscent of the 2014 horror film It Follows. The film tells the story of a curse that passed through sexual transmission. The entity "It" will pursue the victims of the curse at a walking pace, sometimes taking on the appearance of loved ones, before killing them. The only way to keep "It" at bay is by passing on the curse to someone else through the act of sex. A copy of Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill can be seen on the coffee table as Staci goes to sit and watch TV. The shows Staci channel surfs through include Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell (episode: "True Love Will Find You"), Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter (episode: "Bark Bark Yum Yum") and Rick and Morty (episode: "Rick Potion #9"). All the episodes revolve around the concept of love. Dean: Yeah, and what'd you do judgey? Curl up in your Snuggie, watch 'Fifty Shades' on cable? A Snuggie is a cross between a dressing gown and a blanket. "Fifty Shades" refers to the BDSM themed movie Fifty Shades of Grey based on the book by E. L. James. Dean uses the alias "Agent Weller" a reference to singer and musician Paul Weller from the English bands The Jam and Style Council. Dean: Well, step aside Urkel. Steve Urkel was a dorky character on the '90s sitcom Family Matters. Sam: Shapeshifter. Dean: Yahtzee. Yahtzee is a dice made by Milton Bradley. Saying "Yahtzee!" has come to mean something good has happened, and is a favorite phrase of Dean's. Dean: Hey, any luck? Sam: No. You? Dean: No. Hey, what's a-ah 'dad bod?' A "dad bod" refers to the physique of guy whos in shape, but has a few years and quite a few beers under his belt. Dean: Riddle me this. Why did Staci die first if she was kissed second? Dean: Listen to me. Sonja is not just anyone, she is a wicked witch who offed your husband and tried to kill you. So if she shows up here, you punch or you stab her or you drop a freaking house on her if you have to. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy's house from Kansas lands on the Wicked Witch of the East and kills her. Sam: Here we go. Someone chants the curse and lays a wet one on you, then the victim is seduced and killed by the qareen. But instead of taking the form of Barbara Eden, they present themselves as your darkest, deepest desire. Barbara Eden is best known for playing the character Jeannie in the 1965 sitcom I Dream of Jeannie. Dean: Silver lining about being cursed. I'll finally get some face time with Daisy Duke. My deepest, darkest desire. Sam: Seriously? Dean: Ever since I was seven. Sam: So, Bach not Simpson? Dean: Pfft... Eh, I guess I wouldn't say 'no' to either. Daisy Duke was a character on the 1979 TV series The Dukes of Hazzard, famous for wearing cut-off shorts, which in turn became known as Daisy Dukes. Daisy was portrayed by actress Catherine Bach in the TV series and Jessica Simpson in the 2005 film adaptation. Minutiae Venus Terzo, who played Sonja, previously played Joanna in 1.18 Something Wicked. This episode marks the first time that Dean has ever beaten Sam in rock-paper-scissors. Though Dean did beat Sam in the alternate universe in 6.17 My Heart Will Go On.

__label__cc	0.579056	0.420944	Home Game Reviews Abyss: Kraken Review Abyss: Kraken Review Tony Mastrangeli Review of: Abyss: Kraken Board Game Expansion Review by:: Reviewed by: Tony M Last modified:Feb 25, 2016 We review Abyss: Kraken, the expansion to the award winning card game Abyss, published by Asmodee Games. The Kraken expansion adds four new elements that easily incorporate into the base game and we discuss them all. Bruno Cathala had two fantastic games come out in 2014. One was the award-winning game Five Tribes. His other title, while overshadowed by the excitement of Five Tribes, was a great underwater themed game called Abyss. We reviewed it last year (spoiler alert: we loved it) and it has made its way to our tables countless times since then. So when an expansion for Abyss was announced, to say I was excited would be an understatement. Eager to see what Mr. Cathala had dreamed up with Abyss: Kraken, I quickly dove into what’s new in this expansion. Abyss: Kraken includes four new modules that can easily be incorporated into the base game. We’ll first take a look at what’s new in the expansion and then discuss if it’s worth your gaming dollars. Expansion Overview: The Abyss: Kraken expansion has four main parts, some more complex than others, and we’ll go over each of them in turn. Nebulis The Black Pearls are really more silver looking, but still a lot of fun to use in the game. First we’ll start with the most interesting component of the expansion, the Nebulis. These come in the form of Black (Silver) Pearls. They work just like regular pearls, except they are “dirty money”. Any Nebulis you have at the end of the game are worth negative influence points, with the player who has the most Nebulis losing an additional five influence points. There also is a cool looking Kraken miniature to signify the player with the most Nebulis during the game. So you’ll want to get rid of those pesky Nebulis during the game. How do you do that? You give them to other players of course. If you’ve spent all your regular pearls, you can then spend 1 (and only 1) Nebulis to either help pay for a Lord or recruit an ally during another player’s exploration phase. New Lords The new Smuggler guild gives you ways to manipulate the use of the Nebulis. The expansion includes 18 new lords, 2 for each of the base game’s guilds and 8 belonging to the new Smuggler’s guild. Most of the Smugglers have powers that allow you to manipulate the use of Nebulis. Three of the new lords are The Sentinels. Their main power is to allow you to reserve cards or locations. When you recruit a Sentinel, you receive its corresponding token, which allows you to reserve a Lord in the court, a stack of Allies in the council, or a Location. No one can take a card that you’ve reserved with your Sentinel, and once taken by you, allows you to reassign your Sentinel. New Allies The Kraken allies can be any color you desire, but that flexibility comes at a price. The new allies in the expansion are, unsurprisingly, the Krakens. Krakens act as wild ally cards that can be any color you want when you recruit a lord. The down side is they all contain 1-3 Nebulis icons. Every card you spend (or have in your hand at the end of the game) forces you to take Nebulis for each icon on the card. These cards will really play with your risk tolerance. New Locations Finally, the last part of the expansion is the new Locations. There are 6 new ones in total, but 4 incorporate the use of the game’s new loot deck. When you take control of one of these locations, you get to draw from the loot deck. The deck has 25 cards in it, numbered 3-7. There is an equal number of cards based on the number (i.e: 7 7s, 6 6s, etc.). Each card, except the 7, also has a separate reward in the form of Pearls, Keys, Monsters, or Allies. Once drawn, you gain influence points based on the number on the card. After you’ve drawn your first card from the loot deck, you can then decide if you want to push your luck and keep drawing, or stop and take your loot. The key is that if you draw a duplicate number, you lose both those cards and only get to keep the cards you have left (and must stop drawing). So if you draw really well, you could theoretically end up with 25 influence points, or if you are unlucky, you can get zero influence points. The components in the Abyss: Kraken expansion are all as good as the ones in the base game, including more of the fantastic artwork. Game Experience with the Expansion: As regular readers probably know, my golden rule with an expansion is I want it to add variety to my game without adding a lot of complexity or play time. I don’t want to have to feel like I’m teaching a new game when I bring out the expansion. And on that point Abyss: Kraken is a complete success. I mixed all the new lords, allies, and locations in with the base game and really don’t see a need to separate them out after the game. The only big rule change is with the new Nebulis, and it’s not really all that hard to explain. Even with the new loot deck, I simply just don’t talk about it until a new location comes up that requires it. That is also one of the interesting things about the loot deck. There is a chance it might not even show up in the game. Depending on your risk tolerance and how much you like to push your luck, that can either be a good thing or a bad thing. The loot deck will test your risk tolerance with its press your luck mechanic. I will say this about the loot deck, it can be really swingy. There is a chance you will earn nothing from the location you just acquired or, if you are super lucky, 25 points. If a player got 25 points from a location, that would most likely put them in an incredible position to win. Fortunately, I’d wager it’s incredibly rare for someone to draw a 7-6-5-4-3 from the deck, all without drawing a duplicate. In our play experience, most people earn between 7-15 points off a location. Good, but not broken. The Nebulis themselves were probably my favorite part of the expansion. I’ve actually seen players approach them quite differently. In one game, players were really scared of them and the negative influence points they brought. This had the effect of leaving massive piles of allies in the council until a player was desperate enough to take the stack and all the Krakens in the deck. However in a different game, players openly embraced the Nebulis, passing them around repeatedly. It really depends on how risky your players are. For me, I love them and had a lot of fun using them as currency. Nothing is more satisfying than buying a number 5 ally from an opponent, and paying for it with a black pearl. You can almost taste their disappointment. The new lords add a nice variety of effects to the game. I really liked the Smuggler faction and the way they changed around the rules for the Nebulis. I should mention that you are adding 18 new lords to the deck and none get removed. This means that the end game condition of the lord deck running out will probably never happen. To be fair, I have only seen that happen once in dozens of plays of Abyss, so it’s not really a big deal in my book. In fact, it’s one less thing you have to teach new players about. Abyss becomes a miniatures game (not really) with the inclusion of a Kraken miniature. Abyss: Kraken fit right in with Abyss and it turned into one of those expansions that I don’t ever see myself playing without in the future. I feel like it easily incorporates into the base game very seamlessly, and that it will only add a couple of minutes to the rules explanation. I wouldn’t even hesitate to play the expansion with first time players. On a sad note, the absolutely fantastic tray insert for Abyss doesn’t really work all that well once you toss the expansion into the box. I was able to Tetris everything into the tray with a lot of effort and planning, but even then the box lid still sticks up a little. Finally, if you weren’t a fan of Abyss for whatever reason, than there probably isn’t much in the expansion that’s going to change your mind. The game still doesn’t play the best with only 2 players and the monster track can still feel a bit lack luster. However if you are a fan of Abyss then there is no reason for you not to pick up the Kraken expansion. It’s really well designed, includes the same outstanding artwork, and adds a nice level of variety to the game, all without increasing the play time. A must own for fans of Abyss. Pick this one up today, you won’t regret it. If you’d like to pick up a copy of Abyss: Kraken, you can get it for about $25. • Easily incorporates into the base game • New “dirty money” a lot of fun to use in the game • More stellar artwork • Doesn’t add unnecessary complexity or play time • Doesn’t address 2 player game • Monster track still a little lack luster While he will play just about anything, Tony loves games that let him completely immerse himself in the theme. He also is a bit of a component addict.	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0049.json.gz/line121

LJ spends about an hour and a half discussing his latest album "Wooden Horses" and what goes into playing all the new original compositions. This is a terrific opportunity to join LJ in his own studio discussing these wonderful tunes and not only how to play them but what went into the compositions. For guitarists who are curious that IS the new Maple Juber Signature Martin guitar and you may inquire from us about purchase!!! (we have already sold several and they are stunning!) Widescreen format and all-region Is this a BOOK (you print it out) with a BONUS DVD? or is it a DVD with a BONUS BOOK (that you print yourself)? I guess that depends on your point of view....we will list it in both sections so don't buy it twice !!! Laurence Juber has produced a valuable body of instructional material for fingerstyle guitarists, focusing on repertoire as well as musical knowledge necessary to arrange for solo guitar in DADGAD, standard, and other tunings. Here, he covers pieces from his recent CD, "Wooden Horses." Juber uses a relaxed, no-frills approach, sitting with his music stand in front of a fixed camera. The production has an intimate feel, he’s generous with his time and very comprehensive. For example, he takes over ten minutes to cover "The Ornament Waltz. Guitarists will gain a lot of insight into melodic development, chord voicings and rhythms, as Juber emphasizes the conceptual building blocks of his music over the purely physical challenges of playing these pieces (which are nonetheless formidable). The fingerstyle mainstay "Shebeg and Shemore" is covered, with Juber adding some nice modern-sounding chords in a few spots. The transcriptions are in standard notation and tablature in pdf format on the disc. This DVD is a strong addition to Juber’s instructional catalog. © Patrick Ragains MINOR 7th.com Laurence Juber, Wooden Horses By Phil Catalfo ACOUSTIC GUITAR MAGAZINE july 2010 In his latest release, versatile fingerstylist Laurence Juber shows again that he’s equally capable of nailing rapid-fire runs in an up-tempo number (“Enough Is Never Enough”), creating a reflective mood (“Guitar Noir”), essaying a jazzy rag (“Maple Avenue Strut” and the title track), firing off a tasty blues (“Green Room Blues,” a bonus live track), or laying bare his heart in romantic, Bensusan-esque tunes (“The Ornament Waltz,” “Being Here with You”)—and he’s also equally adept in standard tuning, D A D G A D, and C G D G A D. The best and most vivid of the album’s numbers—such as “Highway 17” (a paean to the winding highway connecting San Jose and Santa Cruz, California) and the only nonoriginal composition here, “Shebeg and Shemore” (by the 18th-century Irish harpist Turlough O’Carolan)—display not only Juber’s erudition and technical prowess but also his gift for instrumental storytelling. On the companion DVD (which includes printable transcriptions), Juber devotes 90 minutes to breaking down each song, but not bar for bar; rather, he explicates the most notable or challenging passages in each and shares a bit of his philosophy of playing. It’s meaty, advanced stuff that will be beyond the ken of anyone not comfortable slinging G#m7b5 or Cadd9#11 chords, but it’s worthwhile viewing: even we duffers can learn something from such an up-close look at a master.

__label__wiki	0.516059	0.516059	Shabwa: Uprising Against UAE Authorities On Oct 3, 2022 463 The first societal uprising against the UAE authorities took place in Shabwa province, eastern Yemen, Yemen press agency reported on Monday. Local sources confirmed that dozens of residents of Al-Rawdha district, east of Ataq city, the provincial capital, went out on Sunday in a protest against what they called the policy of regional exclusion and marginalization by the governor loyal to the UAE in Shabwa, Awdh Al-Wazir Al-Awlaqi. The protesters emphasized that Al-Awlaqi, affiliated with the General People’s Congress, had overthrown a number of local officials from Al-Rawdha district, expelled its cadres, and replaced them with others from outside the district. After taking control of Shabwa at the beginning of this year, the UAE followed a systematic policy to root out all officials associated with the previous Islah Party authorities in Shabwa. The pro-UAE authorities have completed the policy of uprooting the military and security presence of the Islah party from Shabwa in the recent confrontations that erupted in Ataq in early August.

Русская версия Home · All Namespaces · All Classes · Main Classes · Grouped Classes · Modules · Functions Overview of Qt's Undo Framework Qt's Undo Framework is an implementation of the Command pattern, for implementing undo/redo functionality in applications. The Command pattern is based on the idea that all editing in an application is done by creating instances of command objects. Command objects apply changes to the document and are stored on a command stack. Furthermore, each command knows how to undo its changes to bring the document back to its previous state. As long as the application only uses command objects to change the state of the document, it is possible to undo a sequence of commands by traversing the stack downwards and calling undo on each command in turn. It is also possible to redo a sequence of commands by traversing the stack upwards and calling redo on each command. The framework consists of four classes: QUndoCommand is the base class of all commands stored on an undo stack. It can apply (redo) or undo a single change in the document. QUndoStack is a list of QUndoCommand objects. It contains all the commands executed on the document and can roll the document's state backwards or forwards by undoing or redoing them. QUndoGroup is a group of undo stacks. It is useful when an application contains more than one undo stack, typically one for each opened document. QUndoGroup provides a single pair of undo/redo slots for all the stacks in the group. It forwards undo and redo requests to the active stack, which is the stack associated with the document that is currently being edited by the user. QUndoView is a widget which shows the contents of an undo stack. Clicking on a command in the view rolls the document's state backwards or forwards to that command. The following concepts are supported by the framework: Clean state: Used to signal when the document enters and leaves a state that has been saved to disk. This is typically used to disable or enable the save actions, and to update the document's title bar. Command compression: Used to compress sequences of commands into a single command. For example: In a text editor, the commands that insert individual characters into the document can be compressed into a single command that inserts whole sections of text. These bigger changes are more convenient for the user to undo and redo. Command macros: A sequence of commands, all of which are undone or redone in one step. These simplify the task of writing an application, since a set of simpler commands can be composed into more complex commands. For example, a command that moves a set of selected objects in a document can be created by combining a set of commands, each of which moves a single object. QUndoStack provides convenient undo and redo QAction objects that can be inserted into a menu or a toolbar. The text properties of these actions always reflect what command will be undone or redone when they are triggered. Similarly, QUndoGroup provides undo and redo actions that always behave like the undo and redo actions of the active stack.

Dear Ms. Amundson: In your letter dated January 9, 1996, together with an undated follow-up submission of additional information (received here on February 15), you requested a tariff classification ruling. A sample identified as an "Eddie Walker `Sew Sweet' Sewing Kit" (item 18435-6) was submitted and is being returned to you. It is a 5 3/4" x 7" x 10" bifurcated, hinged wooden chest containing a poly-filled fabric pin cushion, 3 small mouse figurines and 13 ornamental notions, including spools, thimbles, buttons, bobbins and a ruler. In a telephone conversation, you advised us that the notions and figurines are made of calcium carbonate, derived from natural limestone, agglomerated with polyester resin. The pin cushion and the notions are decorated in a Santa Claus motif. The product is said to be a "collectible sewing kit with a holiday theme," and is intended to be used for "decorative and display purposes." (The "notions" do not appear to be designed primarily for functional applications.) In this regard, an interior shelf and a removable, compartmental- ized wooden tray allow the chest, when open, to serve as a "display case" for the other components. In our opinion, the various pieces of this kit are not put up together to meet a particular need or carry out a specific activity. Thus, they will not be considered "goods put up in sets for retail sale," and will be classified separately. The applicable subheading for the wooden chest will be 4420.90.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for jewelry boxes, silverware chests, microscope cases, tool or utensil cases and similar boxes, cases and chests, all the foregoing of wood: not lined with textile fabrics. The rate of duty will be 5.7%. The applicable subheading for the pin cushion will be 6307.90.9989, HTS, which provides for other (non-enumerated) made-up textile articles. The rate of duty will be 7%. The applicable subheading for the agglomerated calcium carbonate/resin spools, bobbins, thimbles and mouse figurines will be 6810.99.0000, which provides for other articles of artificial stone. The rate of duty will be 2.9%. The applicable subheading for the "ruler," which is not an accurate measuring instrument, and which looks more like a full Santa Claus figure in relief, will be 9505.10.5020, HTS, which provides for other (than certain enumerated) articles for Christmas festivities. The rate of duty will be free. The applicable subheading for the buttons will be 9606.29.6000, HTS, which provides for other (than certain enumerated) buttons. The rate of duty will be 4.6%. A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Paul Garretto, at (212) 466-5779. Tariff No.: 4420.90.45 - Wooden jewelry boxes, silverware chests, microscope, tool or utensil cases, similar boxes, cases and chests, not lined with textile fabrics Tariff No.: 6307.90.99 - National flags and other made-up articles of textile materials, nesoi Tariff No.: 6810.99.00 - Articles of cement (other than tiles, flagstones, bricks and similar arts.), of concrete or artificial stone, nesoi Tariff No.: 9505.10.50 - Arts. for Christmas festivities (o/than ornaments & nativity scenes) nesoi, not of plastics Tariff No.: 9606.29.60 - Buttons, nesoi	cc/2023-06/en_middle_0049.json.gz/line132
__label__cc	0.648296	0.351704	Pencils and Powers is a solitaire Roll and Write that's about managing a dungeon crawl. Which is a theme that has been covered so much over the years that it's amazing that it hasn't become a dead horse. There is just something simple and rich about it. Go into a limited area for the purpose of fighting and looting. Thats simple. But the details within that idea? The variety never seems to end. Indeed, even in just the Roll and Write genre, there are a lot of dungeon crawls. One of my first experiences with Print and Play games was Delve the Dice Game which slapped a Dungeons and Dragons theme onto a Yahtzee engine. Pencils and Powers, though, is a very different beast than Yahtzee. Here's the narrative part of the game: You play the role of an adventuring party of four heroes. You are going down into a dungeon that has five major monsters and one boss monster. Explore the dungeon, find gold and magic items and kill the monsters. And here's the crunch, the mechanics. The game sheet has a grid of the dungeon and two tables. One for monsters and one for treasure. (Oh, there's other stuff on the sheet but, for the purpose if the nitty gritty, these three things are the core of the game) You'll assign a number for each monster and for each collection of treasure. Each turn, you roll three dice. You assign one to mapping the grid, one to improving a monster (either hit points or damage) and one to improve a treasure cache. You map out the dungeon by drawing in polynomial shapes from a table. You can't fight a monster until you connect their room with the entrance. Which has the rather interesting effect that you aren't actually moving the adventurers through the dungeon. You are just establishing access to rooms. It's kind of like you are mapping out an apartment building with monsters for residents. You need to balance out which monsters you improve with which treasure caches you work on. On the one hand, you don't want the monsters to get too powerful. On the other hand, you need money for rerolls and leveling up, as well as magic items to help in combat. And you need the key to the boss monster's apartment. (Combat is roll a die and add any modifiers from magic items and character powers. Monsters have to be taken out in one shot and they always get a swing in, even if you kill them. Combat is honestly the simplest element of the game) Pencils and Powers is a game that I think is very well designed. Dividing up the three die rolls is a really solid mechanic and the balancing act you have to do requires real choices. But I wasn't really captivated by it. I literally kept putting it down to play other games or do other things. I eventually finished the starter dungeon and killed all the monsters but the game just didn't click for me. I definitely found the game to be well designed and, having played way more D&D than is healthy, I can get behind a dungeon crawl. Pencils and Pencils, though, didn't engage me. That said, Pencils and Powers has several dungeons, each with their own set of adventurers and monsters. I will give it another go at some point, simply because the design is clever enough to deserve another try.
