From the Keystone Monastery. Locked door near n.10 on the map.
From golden chest located in Old Gardens. Door to this area is locked, and only way to get there is to loot the key from Captain's body (which means player must kill him).
Great shield if you have 3 flawless luck runes. Makes boss attacks irrelevant on your first playthrough.
Reads a file that contains ASCII representations of basic data types.
Full or relative path needed to locate ASCII file.
A scalar or one-dimensional array specifying the dimension sizes of the data to be read.
As of version 6.0.0, dimensions can be of type int or long.
A string representing the type of the data being read.
The asciiread function is used to read ASCII data. If datatype is a numeric type, then non-numeric characters are ignored and the numbers are read in the order they appear in the input file. However, note that for the float and double types, the string 'nan' (any case) is read as a valid numerical value. For all the integer types, the prefix '0x' or '0X' signifies a value represented in hexadecimal (base 16). For the 'byte' type only, the prefix '0', not followed by 'x' or 'X', signifies a value represented in octal (base 8).
All numeric types require require a separator. A separator is a non-numeric character [eg, space, comma, alphabetic character].
For string data, each line of the file is read as a string.
For character data, the file is read byte-by-byte.
An error message is generated whenever the number of elements read is less than the number implied by the dimensions parameter.
If -1 is given for the dimensions parameter, all values in the file will be read into a one-dimensional variable. The dimension size of this variable will be equal to the number of elements in the file.
In version 6.0.0, we fixed a notable quirk in this function: if dimensions was set to explicit dimension sizes, then a _FillValue attribute was returned, equal to the default fill value for that type. If dimensions was equal to -1, then a _FillValue attribute was NOT returned.
Several functions located in contributed.ncl provide additional flexibility for reading ascii files.
Consider an ASCII file ("sample.file") that consists of three "header" lines followed by the data array of interest. This file is best read using the readAsciiTable function. However, this example is offered to illustrate how one can read the file directly via the asciiread and ndtooned functions.
but this 2nd line has 3 numbers: 10, 30, 50. and a blank line.
Consider an ASCII file ("numberByte_ascii.file") that consists of three rows. Each row has 30 numbers. Unseen at the end of each line is an end-of-line character. Each number is to be interpreted as a numeric type "byte".
The file can not be directly read as numeric bytes because all numeric types require a non-numeric separator. Also, the 'hidden' end-of-line character complicates the situation. Use of charactertoshort and stringtocharacter can be used to get the desired type "short" or "byte".
The following code snippet will result in each numeric value being separated. The "ncol+1" is to account for the hidden end-of-line character. The "zero_offset" variable is used to 'normalize' the integer character representation to numeric ibtegers.
Printing as byte is done as hexadecimal. The numbers are the same.

Love the teas just wish there was a way to buy more!!

Although New Jersey is the fourth smallest state in the United States, it is the 11th most populous state in the country with over an estimated 8,900,000 people residing there. It is also statistically deemed the second wealthiest.
New Jersey is bordered north and east by New York, and lies within the combined statistical areas of New York City and Philadelphia. Known as “The Garden State” in addition to having a relatively high population, New Jersey is a major tourist attraction with seaside resorts and other charms drawing in more than 80 million tourist visits each year. The state’s location enables an extensive transportation network, putting more than one third of residents in the U.S. and many in Canada within overnight traveling distance of New Jersey via land.
With so much travel in and around New Jersey, traffic accidents occur with a relatively higher frequency than in surrounding areas. In the state hundreds of people are injured and killed each year in motor vehicle crashes. Related costs add up to more than $9 million in medical expenses and $680 million in work loss annually.
Many New Jersey accidents are linked to the negligence or wrongful actions of drivers. When innocent victims are hurt in these cases, they need an aggressive attorney to help get the maximum compensation for their medical expenses, lost income, and other damages they have incurred.
New Jersey accident attorney Rand Spear is available night or day to help those who have been involved in a serious traffic crash in New Jersey recover compensation from drivers or companies responsible for their injuries. New Jersey law allows for pursuit of compensatory damages for accident injuries; however, without a legal advocate on your side who understands your needs and puts them first it can be difficult getting what is fair. Insurance companies fight hard to give victims who may be due compensation the least amount possible. That’s why you need someone who has the power, knowledge and resources to give you the best representation possible in the fight for justice.
If you or a loved one has been hurt in a traffic accident in New Jersey, contact Rand Spear right now for help.

All Bryan Singer films are deeply unsure of themselves: they attempt to marry several conflicting elements while never quite deciding what they want to be. Superman Returns can't decide whether it wants to be dark and moody like Batman Begins or a nostalgic throwback to the earlier films. Valkyrie flits between a romping B-movie about Tom Cruise blowing up Hitler and an intense character study about what it means to betray your country. And then there is The Usual Suspects, which claims to be the heist movie with the ultimate twist, but ends up as the ultimate disappointment. When making a genre film or any kind of homage, there is a very fine line between playing with conventions and coming across as completely unoriginal. The ingredients of a heist film are among the most familiar and formulaic in cinema: the assembly of a team, typically for one last job, the heist being planned and executed, and then something going horribly wrong. One of the tests of a good filmmaker is being able to take a very cliché-ridden subject and do something interesting and memorable while being fully mindful of generic constraints. There are two main ways to make a good heist film in the modern day. The first is to take a particular convention and break it. In The Ladykillers, the heist is barely planned and takes place off screen, with the majority of the film being focussed on the gang unravelling at the hands of Mrs. Wilberforce. The second is to use audience familiarity with conventions to one's advantage, using the heist as a springboard to explore something else. Inception may have a heist structure, but the actual crime which Cobb commits is only as important as the ideas surrounding it - the nature of dreaming, the fracturing of identity, the consequences of addiction and the pain of losing one's love.
From a purely mechanical point of view, The Usual Suspects is a very well-made heist film. All the pieces of the plot fit together very well: there are no gaping holes in either Kevin Spacey's account or the various encounters which persuade Gabriel Byrne to come on board for the big job. And taken in abstract, the final twist is fairly impressive. It's not a million miles away from the silly ending of Shattered, but it's carried with suitable grace and doesn't feel like an unnecessary contrivance, crowbarred in to bring the film to a speedy conclusion. But here, already, we have the central problem with the film. The Usual Suspects may be mechanically sound, but it is so obsessed with being mechanically sound that it never allows you to bond with what is going on in the meantime. Singer spends so much time and effort ensuring that we go through the motions in the slickest way possible, that the actual characters become increasingly superfluous.
By keeping the characters at arms' length from the plot, a barrier between the story and the audience is created. Whenever the screenplay attempts to invoke ideas about the nature of evil, or fear, or the power of will, these ideas are quickly passed over or shot down as the film demands to keep pressing forward. Potentially fascinating explorations of the nature of underground crime are suppressed in favour of the next irrelevant plot point, making The Usual Suspects a decidedly hollow experience. If we compare Singer's efforts to that of Quentin Tarantino in Reservoir Dogs, the significance of this problem becomes apparent. Like The Usual Suspects, Reservoir Dogs is a straightforward heist film whose distinctions are structural rather than aesthetic. But unlike Singer, Tarantino's work not only knew its place within a genre: it knew that the audience knew its place as well. By giving the audience a degree of certainty, Tarantino could get away with his outlandish dialogue and shuffled timeframes which would otherwise have thrown the audience a bigger curveball. To use the analogy of a circus, Reservoir Dogs is like a show at the big top in which everything happens as expected, but always with a flourish. Instead of just a trapeze act, we get a trapeze artist doing triple somersaults - and instead of gangsters simply talking about the heist, we get them to dissect the meaning of Madonna's 'Like A Virgin'. The Usual Suspects is like a circus show in which the ringmaster is so keen to hurry the acts along that we have no time to admire them, and all that is memorable is the huge poles holding up the tent. You only have to look at the characters to realise how much talent has been squandered here. The five 'usual suspects' are all quirkily drawn, whether in their dress sense, their accents or the way they conduct themselves within the group. Christopher McQuarrie's screenplay contains a number of potentially great scenes, laden with distinctively macho dialogue and criminal posturing. But the more time we spend in their company, the more you come to realise that they are quirky for its own sake: there is no narrative reason for Benicio Del Toro to speak like that. They are little more than archetypes in new suits, and like later Tarantino works, you are never convinced that any of them could really exist.
Without properly three-dimensional or believable characters, or much direction beyond rigidly following a formula, the one thing that could have saved The Usual Suspects would have been some kind of moral clout. Both this film and Se7en are thrillers in which the villain is prominent, or at least has a prominent presence which hangs over everything that unfolds. But what made Se7en work, aside from David Fincher's distinctive visuals, was its ability to make subtle contemporary moral points while honouring an old-fashioned hardboiled storyline. The Usual Suspects has the potential - that word again - to have this exact kind of moral clout. The character of Keyser Soze, a criminal who operates underground through oblivious associates, is an intriguing creation which carries meaning about the way that evil infiltrates society. Kevin Spacey's long monologues contain references to the Devil and vengeance on a genuinely Biblical scale, painting Soze as a man that would make even Hannibal Lector flinch. But again, the film never allows these ideas to come out beyond brief suggestions - suggestions which are barely elaborated upon by either the story or the characters. In the midst of all this, The Usual Suspects deserves some credit for its execution. Singer is not a terrible director, at least not from a constructional point of view: his camerawork is solid and the heist scenes especially are well-shot by his long-time cinematographer, Newton Thomas Sigel. As far as the performances go, Kevin Spacey gives his all in the meatiest of roles; his performance of a man with cerebral palsy is Oscar-baiting but convincing. Gabriel Byrne remains an enjoyable screen presence, even if his choice of films is somewhat less enjoyable, and it remains the best thing that Stephen Baldwin has ever done. But in all, The Usual Suspects is a densely plotted disappointment. Singer can never make up his mind what issues he wishes to explore within the confines of the story, and the result is a film which claims a lot but delivers on very little. Through the best efforts of the performers and the decent visuals, you find yourself wanting to like it more, and you start looking for something or someone with whom you can engage. But for all your best efforts the film never lets you in, making The Usual Suspects little more than a well-made waste of time.
It should come as no surprise that I’m in the midst of a lifelong love affair with all shades of purple. Lavender, orchid, lilac, mauve, plum, blackberry, and violet are music to my ears…or rather candy to my eyes. You might shy away from purple when it comes to makeup, but I’ve been searching for some of the best shades that are very wearable. Deep plum colors are beautiful for fall, and sheer lilac shades are pretty in spring, but I think many of these shades can be used almost any time of year depending on how you apply them. You can create a look that merely hints at purple, or a full on dark vampy look. For the violet faerie look I styled below I aimed somewhere in the middle of that spectrum.
24-Karat Gold Leaf Tray from Tatcha.
As in all the makeup and skincare products I seek out, I also tried to find purple products that contain as high a percentage of natural ingredients as possible – all of these are also paraben-free and most are free of many other harsh no-good ingredients. And of course, this is but a glimpse of the purple products in my collection (narrowing it down to 20 favorites wasn’t easy!) and I am always looking for more purple … if you have a favorite purple shade of a natural beauty product I’d love to hear about it in the comments below!

Bite Beauty BB for Lips in Dolce – A deep purple sheer tint that acts like a balm. Contains SPF 15. Formulated without parabens, sulfates, phthalates.
Vapour Organic Beauty Siren Lipstick in Vibe 411 – a rich violet lipstick with subtle shimmer highlights. Made with 70% Organic ingredients and 30% natural mineral pigments.
Rituel de Fille Forbidden Lipstick in Against Nature – a bold fuchsia purple that delivers a punch of color with matte velvet texture.

'The Journey' is back, and it's better than ever.
When FIFA 17 came out last year, its standout feature was something called "The Journey." For the first time in the franchise's 24-year history, EA Sports added a story mode where you can pretend to live the life of a professional soccer (er, football) player. The plot centered around a fictional character named Alex Hunter, a British teenager who's trying to make a name for himself in the English Premier League. Your goal, naturally, is to guide him in his quest to do exactly that. Thanks to its success on FIFA 17, the adventure continues with FIFA 18's "The Journey: Hunter Returns."
In the latest edition of the title, which arrives on September 29th for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, EA is bringing back the Alex Hunter narrative with branching storylines, celebrity cameos and player customization. FIFA 18 will also be on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the Switch, although "The Journey" isn't available in those formats. For Nintendo's new console, EA had to build a custom engine to power the game, and one of the trade-offs was leaving Hunter's story behind. It's a shame, sure, but at least it shows that EA is willing to give the Switch a chance -- a departure from how it handled the Wii U.
For those of you with a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, though, "The Journey: Hunter Returns" won't disappoint. This year, EA made its game mode even better by adding more plot twists, including one where you end up playing in the North American Major League Soccer after a brief fallout with your club in England. Last season, Alex Hunter's life was based solely around competitions in his own country: the Premier League and the lower-tier Championship. It's nice, then, to see his story expand to other places around the world, just as the life of a real footballer would. Not only that, but it makes a huge difference to be able to have him rock a variety of haircuts, tattoos, T-shirts and pants, something you couldn't do in the original "Journey."
Another thing that brings further realism to "The Journey" is that the in-game commentators, Martin Tyler and Alan Smith (in English), will talk about your life before, during and after each match you play. In one of the six chapters of "Hunter Returns," for example, you become the subject of a rumor that claims you'll be leaving your current team for Spanish giant Real Madrid. That prompts them to chat about how your teammates aren't pleased with you, or how you've been doing in previous games. In general, details like that are what make "The Journey" such a fun game to play, and they help keep you hooked for hours.
Whether that happens or not, or how it does, depends on the choices you make throughout the game. You'll come across different characters, like your coach, agent or various family members, who ask you questions that could have an effect on your career. Your answers can be either "cool," "fiery" or "balanced," and that will determine how others in your story view your personality. That includes your (Alex Hunter's) social media followers, who can praise or troll you after games and interviews. Yes, even in a fictional world, the internet meme "Don't @ me" still applies.
I won't spoil all the celebrity cameos for you, but I will tell you that there's a big moment between you and FIFA 18's cover star Cristiano Ronaldo. That's not all, either -- you should expect to cross paths with a famous NBA player along the way (hint: he's one of the best point guards in the league). Having access to those types of licenses is what's always differentiated EA's FIFA from its main rival, Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer. As much as I love the more realistic gameplay of PES 2018, the lack of official teams and players is enough to keep me coming back to FIFA.
Sure, PES does have the rights to teams such as FC Barcelona and Arsenal, but it's still missing Manchester United, Chelsea, Real Madrid and many more of the world's biggest clubs. And while you can download a squad's file from an online forum and install it yourself, that doesn't match the out-of-the-box experience you otherwise get with FIFA.
While EA brought much-needed enhancements with player customization and a deeper storyline in "The Journey: Hunter Returns," there are still a few things that could make the mode appealing to broader audiences. There are no playable female characters right now, for starters, although EA's push to put more women in games raises hopes that we could see a feature like that in the future. That said, there is a girl who plays a major role in Hunter's life, and I'm not talking about his mom. It would also be great if you could simulate some matches in "The Journey," even if that meant Alex Hunter missing on gaining any skill points. I say that only because the story does drag on at times, but that might be because I opt to play seven-minute halves -- in Legendary mode, of course.
I also wish I could change Alex Hunter's sponsorship deal from Adidas to another brand. Yes, I appreciate Hunter having access to exclusive gear and soccer cleats (aka football boots) from the Three Stripes, but what if I wanted to start wearing Nike instead? There's no way to change that in the new season. Still, I don't need that to enjoy the game, per se, though the story could get more interesting if, as in real life, brands were fighting to make you their athlete.
As for the rest of FIFA 18, which is again powered by EA's Frostbite engine, you'll notice lifelike graphics on players and stadiums, as well as a smarter AI that makes it slightly harder to score goals -- the usual upgrades on the yearly release. Then you have ICONS, a new feature that lets you use legends such as Ronaldo (the original, not Cristiano), Maradona and Ronaldinho in Ultimate Team, EA's build-your-own-squad, card-trading mode.
But the main highlight here is, without a doubt, "The Journey: Hunter Returns." The improvements to the narrative make FIFA 18 feel like more than just a sports game, and that will further cement the franchise as the most popular among soccer fans.
Wow I’ve been meaning to read this one for a long time. I kept hearing such good things about it, and with the sequel coming out in August, I figured I’d give it a read.
I loved this book! I loved the action, the story, and the characters. I even enjoyed the love triangle – can you believe it? This was one book where the triangle worked for me.
The story sucked me in right away, with Celaena being taken from the salt mines of Endovier to meet with Prince Dorian. As the infamous Aderlan Assassin, Caelana has been serving a sentence of hard labour, but is offered the possibility of freedom if she is able to win the King’s contest and become his royal assassin.
Celaena is escorted to meet the prince by Chaol, the captain of the guard. I liked him right away, and I loved the snark between Chaol and Celaena! He is responsible for training her for the competition, and I loved seeing the tone of their interactions change over the course of the book. I love Chaol! And then there’s Prince Dorian. He’s a great character too. He wants to be a good son and a good leader, but his relationship with his stern father seems strained. Then there’s his mother, the queen, who is trying to encourage him to marry one of the eligible ladies of the court soon. He is intrigued by Celaena, and their dialogue was really snappy and fun to read.
Of the two, I prefer Chaol and hope that’s who Celaena ends up with when all is said and done! But I really enjoyed reading the story with no idea of how things were going to unfold and who she was going to fall for. I could see and understand her interest in and feelings for both men, and what was even more interesting was that Chaol and Prince Dorian are close friends. There was no enmity or hard feelings between the two of them.
Celaena herself is fascinating, and although we learn her back story over the course of the book, I definitely believe there’s more to uncover. I have a theory that I’ll keep to myself for now though and see how things play out in the sequel. I love Celaena’s strength and wit, and the way she has managed to survive all of the terrible things that she’s experienced in her young life.
The action scenes in this book were great! The training with Chaol, then the preparations for the competition, then the competition itself: it was all so exciting and well-paced! And on top of the action and romance, the murder mystery was so interesting.
I really loved this book. It had it all: romance, intrigue, action, adventure, great dialogue, likeable characters, magic, monsters…I had to pre-order the sequel, Crown of Midnight, as soon as I finished this! It’s one of my favourite books I’ve read this year and I cannot wait to find out what happens next!
