Mushroom Bisque

October 13, 2021
4.8 Stars
Author Notes

The night before my brother's wedding, his wife-to-be's parents took us out to dinner. We were in Detroit and my expectations weren't high, but I had an extraordinary mushroom bisque that I set out to re-create when I got home. It took several years to achieve something as good as I remembered. —Kevin

Test Kitchen Notes

Nothing is more comforting in the fall than a big bowl of homemade mushroom bisque. Of course, many recipes for mushroom bisque abound on the Internet, but this one is extra-special because not only do you use dried mushrooms, you use fresh mushrooms as well. You first start by making a quick mushroom stock. All it takes is said dried mushrooms and a little bit of sherry. You get so much flavor just letting the mushrooms soak for a half an hour, and the extra step and time make the payoff well worth it. Mixed with fresh mushrooms, chicken stock, some butter, and half-and-half, the combination of these savory, creamy, hearty ingredients equal comfort food in a bowl.

Keep in mind per the reviewers below that you might need more liquid to hydrate the dried mushrooms. A little more sherry and chicken stock should do the trick—be sure to trust your instincts and don't be afraid to taste as you go! If you're not using an immersion blender, be careful as you transfer the hot liquids to a standard blender, and feel free to work in batches as you go. A final dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche really helps tie it all together, and a sprig of thyme adds a pop of color for the final presentation. This is the perfect way to use up all types of mushrooms, and any time you find yourself with either dried of fresh ones, this recipe will soon become your go-to. —The Editors

Watch This Recipe
Mushroom Bisque
  • Prep time 15 minutes
  • Cook time 25 minutes
  • Serves 4
  • 1/2 cup dry sherry, plus more for serving
  • 2 ounces assorted dried wild mushrooms
  • 1 1/2 pounds assorted fresh mushrooms, such as button, shiitake, and/or porcini, coarsely chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 shallots, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme, plus sprigs for serving
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups store-bought or homemade chicken stock
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Sour cream or crème fraîche, for serving
In This Recipe
  1. In a small pot over medium heat, bring ½ cup of the sherry to a simmer. Remove from the heat, stir in the dried mushrooms, and rehydrate for 30 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the mushrooms to a small bowl. Into another small bowl, strain the sherry through a coffee filter or cheesecloth; set aside. Note: Half of the mushroom flavor comes from this broth.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, arrange half of the fresh mushrooms in an even layer (do not oil the pan); generously season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent burning, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the mushrooms have reduced by half. Add the remaining fresh mushrooms, season with salt, then stir in the shallots and chopped thyme. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 10 minutes more, until the mushrooms have reduced by half.
  3. Add the butter and toss until melted. Add the reserved sherry and reduce to a syrup. Add the rehydrated mushrooms and stock. Bring to a vigorous simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in the half-and-half. Purée the soup with an immersion blender or standard blender. Return the soup to the pot and heat over medium, stirring, to warm through.
  5. Serve with a light splash of sherry (don’t stir it in). Garnish with a thyme sprig and a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche.

Fabulous soup! Reminds me of the Mushroom Bisque served at Portobellos Restaurant at Somerset Collection many years ago. I do agree completely with previous reviewer that you need a lot more liquid for hydrating the dried mushrooms and also extra for the final soup. It’s a winner once you increase the fluid.
Joyce April 6, 2019
This was a delicious, earthy soup. Just add more liquid initially when de-hydrating the dry mushrooms as 1/2 cup of sherry was not enough. I added another 1 and 1/2 cups chicken broth to it and simmered. Also, when adding the extra chicken broth to the soup, I added 4 cups. After pureeing w/ a hand blender, and re-heating, I added another 1/2 cup of sherry as it needed that warming feeling.

Ford CEO Jim Farley Salutes Former CEO Mark Fields For Hertz EV Pivot

Ford CEO Jim Farley has made it a point to praise his rivals – including Tesla CEO Elon Musk – on numerous occasions via Twitter in recent months, even though he openly admits that those same rivals pose a major threat to Ford’s business. However, Farley’s most recent bit of praise isn’t aimed at a direct rival – but rather, one of his predecessors – former Ford CEO and current interim Hertz CEO Mark Fields, who recently announced that the 100+-year-old rental car company is working to finalize a deal to buy 100,000 Tesla EVs.

“Kudos to Mark Fields and the Hertz team for steering a great American brand into the electric and connected future,” Farley said. “Our industry needs this kind of bold leadership.” Farley also added a snapshot of Hertz’s stock, which has enjoyed a 55 percent gain since the announcement late last month. It’s a remarkable turnaround for a company that was forced to file for bankruptcy and sell off a large portion of its fleet just last spring when the COVID-19 pandemic brought the travel industry to a complete halt.

If/when the company finalizes its deal with Tesla, it will give Hertz the largest EV rental fleet in North America, as well as one of the largest in the world, representing around 20 percent of the rental car company’s current fleet. Customers who wish to rent a Tesla will reportedly be able to do so in select U.S. and European markets beginning this month. Customers will have access to Tesla’s Supercharger charging network, while Hertz also plans to add a combination of Level 2 and DC fast chargers in roughly 65 markets by the end of 2022 and over 100 markets by the end of 2023.

Yesterday, I posted a suggestion in the forum for DefCon 17 regarding other attendees who are also parents. Next year, I plan to have my son with me in Las Vegas during DefCon and am interested in connecting with other attendees who plan to have their children there, too. Apparently, someone by the name of Chris thinks it's a bad idea and because of that, we are no longer allowed to talk about children at DefCon in the forums. Some guy named Thorn said that bringing children to Las Vegas (or DefCon) is just STUPID.

Though Thorn made some valid points, I still plan to bring my kid and am still interested in chatting up other parents who plan to bring their kid(s) along. I have a few ideas I'd like to bounce a babysitting exchange (I watch your kid while you go out to do adult stuff, you watch my kid the next night.), sharing the expense of a locally licensed and bonded sitter and perhaps a Junior Hardware Hacking Village (Paint's idea) in a rented suite.

None of this has to be sanctioned by the Con itself...just a social networking opportunity for Hackers that are parents, too.

Hello @emre

Why does this REPORT Tag not support P.Type.Contains() - it is a very useful additive when you need to filter Records:

{REPORT PAYMENT DETAILS:P.Type,P.Amount:(DE=$1) && P.Type.Contains("Cash")}

Below is an example which greatly assisted in the reporting down to Cash Till & Department basis:

{REPORT CALCULATION DETAILS:C.Name,T.Terminal,C.CalculationAmount.Sum:(TE={SETTING:CURRENTTERMINAL}) && C.CalculationAmount <> 0 && C.Name.Contains("Cash Out"):{0}||${2}:}

Help please…

I didn’t tested but you can try Payment.Name.Contains("Cash")

ON my way home 7.30pm - should have it tested in another 2 hours - thanks.

Umm @emre - not sure if this is working:

{REPORT PAYMENT DETAILS:P.Name,T.TicketNumber,P.Amount:(DE=$1) && Payment.Name.Contains("Cash")}

did I assume wrong that P.Name is not the same as Payment.Name?

OMG - oops!!!
Tripped out by the Name arrhhh!

THANKS - Emre I can confirm this works:
{REPORT PAYMENT DETAILS:P.Amount.sum:(DE=$1) && Payment.Name.Contains("Cash ")}

I can now run this same report off for Department OR SPLIT by Department Till :grinning:

Abbyy OCR Engine

no nuget exists for abbyy

Sorry couldn’t be of much help.Lets wait for others response.

In the latest version of UiPath you should already have this installed

You don’t even need to install a package.

I get the below. presume need to install something like with windows ocr, needed to install modi.

also can we use abbyy for screenscrape ocr?

Yeh I think you’re right there is a bug with this…

Also when recording you don’t have the option to use Abbyy OCR - see screenshot

@qateam can you investigate please?

For Abby OCR activity to work, you need to install ABBYY FineReader Engine and purchase a license for it.
Regarding the fact that AbbyOCR option is not visible in screen scraping wizard we will investigate.

Cosmin, I don’t think that this should throw an error when someone attempts to use Abbyy OCR . There should be a warning message that says you do not have a registered version, please see this link for more information on how to activate, or something to that effect.

Hi Cosmin.

Thank you for clarifying the issue with the installation of the ABBYY Engine but i would like to know a bit more information if possible.

How does the Engine installation interact with UiPath Studio?
What steps are needed for the OCR: AbbyyErrorLoadEngine to stop appearing?
Does UiPath Comunity Edition work with a Trial Version (ABBYY FineReader Engine 11 for Windows SDK) given by ABBYY?
Is this a feature only for Licensed Users for ABBYY / UiPath?

Thank you!

1 Like

You simply drag on the engine like you do with google/microsoft.

Install Abbyy Finereader SDK

No, you must request from Abbyy reseller. Or subscribe to Abbyy cloud ocr. You can get a trial of this online

Yes. it is only for abbyy licensed users.

I have done all the mentioned above, and i still get this error.

ABBYY FineReader Engine 11 installed and licensed given by re-seller of ABBYY
UiPath Comunity Edition 2016.2.6232

Main has thrown an exception
Message: Error performing OCR: AbbyyErrorLoadEngine
Source: Abbyy OCR
Exception Type: Exception
System.Exception: Error performing OCR: AbbyyErrorLoadEngine
Server stack trace:
at UiPath.Vision.OCR.OCRClient.ScrapeUsingHostService(OCRInput input, OCROptions options, CancellationToken cancelToken) … etc to avoid large amount of text

Thank you!

back to uipath on this one then.

Hi again,

After installing ABBYY FineReader Engine you must activate it. This are the steps that we do to install/activate ABBYY FineReader:

  1. Open elevated cmd in the folder where you extracted the archive (ABBYY FineReader) and run:
    Setup.exe /qb /v INSTALLDIR=“C:\Abbyy\FR11” SN=serialkey ARCH=x86 LICENSESRV=Yes
  2. In cmd navigate to “bin” folder in the installation folder of Abby (on my machine is C:\Abbyy\FR11\Bin) and execute LicenseManager.exe /SilentActivation /SN:serialkey
  3. Open Studio and use AbbyOCR.

Try the above and let us know if is working or not.

Hi All,
Can you please provide the pre-requisites and detail steps to install Abbyy OCR in UIPATH

Hi cosmin

I had my license activated , ABBYY offers to activate it after the instalation and in the LicenseManager.exe it shows the entry and it shows that is activated.

The Error is the same…

Exception :

And i have done the cmd commands like you suggested, still nothing.
Sensitive info has been blanked.

Have you modified the properties Scale and Profile of the AbbyOCR activity? Could you let the default ones and see if it is working?

Hi Cosmin.

No i have not.

These are the “default” properties given after drag and drop. Tried with different profiles, same error.

Thank you.

Hi Uipath.

Still waiting for a replay to my previous error.

Thank you in advance.

We are trying to figure out what could be your problem, as on our machines is working fine.
Do you remember what version and architecture of ABBYY you installed? You must install the 32bit (X86) version and not 64bit version.

Hi @cosmin.sandulescu

I had installed the version x86 and x64 all together,
I have so reinstalled and only selected the x86 this time, tried to run again. same thing.

Is there any log file i can send to help speed this issue?

Thank you.

          I'm from a small Volunteer department(30 members, 270 runs FY2000) and it sounds like the PG departments are top notch. I hope the Captain that said he has seen irresponsible and free lance attitudes was witnessing isolated instances. We must have pride in our departments and our work or it lends to a poor performance on the fire ground and in training. A department that has low esteem is dangerous. I started out on a department that averaged 6 structure fires a year but when it came to very large prairie or wildland fires we had plenty. These enabled us to have pride in our department because it's what we did best. We led the way! Now I'm on a department that averages 2 - 3 structure fires a month plus the large grass fires, MVAs' on a major turnpike, EMS, rescue, oil battery fires etc... We definitely have a good reputation with surrounding departments and we are very proud of our performance. We're safe, yet aggressive. Now with all that said, I hope your statement about departments that have only a couple structure fires a year, was not intended as a put down. I respect departments that are slower than we are yet they stay with it year in and year out. Think of the dedication that takes. I think these departments should be very proud of what they do, as long as they stay trained and stay safe. It definitely takes more work and guts to keep with it when you only have a few actual fires a year. Hats off to these Brothers. I'm talking like we're really busy but in comparison not even close, but we are very proud of who we are. I hope your departments keep the good reputation you have through not only aggressiveness but with excellence. By the way Bridgecreek Ok is twenty miles southwest of OKC. You may have heard about the F-5 tornado that wiped out a good portion of our community on May 3rd, 1999. Stay safe.

          Tell your family you love them.

            Hey Cousin Vinny,

            I don't have a hardon for Kentland or anyone else in PG County. In fact, I have several friends and accquantances (including your father)who are members at 33. All I am trying to say is that the system is not as great as people in this forum try to present it. Compared to many other sytems, both career and volunteer, it is excellent (including 33). But, when a career lieutentant or captain has to respond driver only on an engine because the rest of the crew is out on an ambulance run, something is wrong. The volunteers who are supposed to make up the rest of the crew aren't there. I realize that this doesn't happen at 33, but it IS happening at many other places in the county.

                well this is interesting...now that my boss is online....

                as far as the state of the department...I agree...most of the busiest companies are hurting for members and do rely on career staffing at some or all portions of the week. It' s not unusual for 4 of 7 companies to respond understaffed on a box alarm, especially early morning in the southside.

                Volunteerism is down nationwide, but i would blame 90% of PGFD's (and their neighbor to the west's) problEMS on ems transport responsibilities. The busiest ambulances in PG run around 4000 runs a year. As a volunteer you are not allowed to use any paramedic skills. How many people do you know that would last very long running 4000 BuLSh*t runs a year. So having an ambulance runs volunteers out of the station. (before all you EMS pundits chime in about _ANYTHING_, i don't care...EMS _is_ important..i am referring to the TRANSPORT aspect. The County KNOWS that the most efficient EMS transport system possible for a county of 112 sq miles , 800,000 population is to use system status management. Take the ambulances out of the stations and no career apparatus would ever go understaffed, and volunteer participation would nearly double.

                  After all this heated discussion, I have to know: are there any female FF (volly or paid) in the department under discussion?

                  • #39

                    Just to answer your question, there are many, many females in the PGFD, both in the volunteer role and in the career role. No problems with the County not having any female representation -- no females in the "Forum" though...

                    • #40
                      I felt it necessary to chime in on a couple points that have come across in this topic from the perspective of a former PG Co. volunteer.

                      To begin with - the PG County VOLUNTEER Fire Department is a goldmine for all firefighters. Where else can someone, as I did, volunteer in a metropolitan area that matches some of the biggest cities in the country in call volume, population and other comparable aspects? No where! I would not be where I am right now if it were not for the experiences gained as a live-in member of Company 29, Silver Hill VFD.

                      Diverse opinions have been posted here in the past couple of days on the subjects of impact to the PGFD. Please bare with the length of my email as I explain the background of the department, the problems it faces and the solutions anyone would arrive at looking from the outside in.

                      First of all, the bare bones background on the PGFD.

                      PG County surrounds DC on the south/southeast comprising approximately 1/2 to 2/3 of the Maryland/DC border. It is a county with a 60 + percent minority population of over 850,000. It runs over 160,000 incidents per year. It is made up of urban, suburban and rural areas with the majority of population and urban areas surrounding the district. This includes dense business/industrial and residential areas that are indiscriminatable to corresponding areas in the district.

                      Staffing is comprised of a combination career/volunteer base of over 47 stations spread throughout the county, with the most being located within the Capital Beltway (I-495) and the busiest from the central portion of the county south. The busiest companies run about 6,000 engine calls, 1,200 truck, 4000 ambulance and 3000 squad calls per year.

                      As with suppression services, EMS is provided through both combination staffing, as well as strictly volunteer / strictly career personnel. All ALS is provided by county staffing in the form of about 8 (correct me if I'm wrong) medic units. All but 4 stations have ambulances, some having "Rescue" units which are 100% career staffed ambulances. The remaining stations either staff ambulances by all volunteers or a combination career / volunteer makeup.

                      Although the PGFD is a combination department, by numbers, it is a VOLUNTEER DEPARTMENT, SUPPLIMENTED BY CAREER STAFFING. This is true in the fact that career staffing, with the exception of about 15-20 stations is between the hours of 0700 and 1500. This staffing though isn't required to meet minimum manning requirements until 0900 technically (before the company is placed out of service if no one can be detailed to fill the vacancy). Therefore, the county FD is only required to maintain staffing between 0900 and 1500 M-F. This includes chief officers (Battalion Chiefs) as well. (As a side note, volunteers and career personnel are held to the same standards for training and certification, establishing the basis for a seamless command structure where a Lt = Lt and a Capt = Capt, and so forth).

                      From 1500 to 0700 the county is probably staffed with greater than 75% volunteers. This is when the majority of fires occur incidentally as well. It is true that units are routinely understaffed from many stations but I must go back to spbrooks' post to expand on why it is this way and the impact.

                      THE STAFFING ISSUE (and EMS ISSUE – one and the same)

                      First of all spbrooks hit the nail on the head. The PG County fire department has made a couple of drastic miscalculations, which to anyone looking in from the outside would agree, has created the current problem of understaffing, as well as future issues which will arise. These miscalculations surround EMS and where career staffing is dedicated.

                      EMS in PG County

                      The county maintained a HUGE volunteer base for up until the mid to late 1990s. This was capable for a number of reasons, the largest relating to EMS, and specifically transport services. The county has, especially in the last few years, put undue pressure on the volunteers and their respective companies to provide EMS transport services. The problem regarding this push is that as I have explained, the county is made up of a dense, comparatively (to other US counties) depressed socio-economic population. As anyone who is familiar with other EMS systems in similar areas of the country could attest – EMS transport services are a glorified taxi service to the highest degree. I would wager to say that approximately 70% or more of EMS incidents, including ALS dispatched incidents are not life-threatening emergencies requiring EMS care. The citizens use, and abuse this public service. And therefore, use and abuse the providers of the service.

                      The citizens do pay taxes for these services and therefore should be provided them (I am leaving my own thoughts here unwritten). The firefighters though, those who VOLUNTEER their time, DONATING it to the county ***do not live in the stations, or spend time in the stations to be abused, nor for the majority of them, provide EMS/Taxicab service in general. They VOLUNTEER to provide fire suppression, rescue and their inherent first response to *serious* emergency medical services!***

                      This has over the years reduced the volunteer base significantly. The main reason: Why would you, as a firefighter who wants to volunteer performing fire suppression, rescue and as I differentiated, *serious* EMS care want to be stuck on a big taxi cab filling out hours of paperwork per BS run? Not me, and I would wager, not you. So the volunteers left because they got BURNED OUT.

                      THE MISCALCULATION

                      The county fire department though continues to insists upon requiring those individuals to provide this transport service although they hire compensated staffing. This paid staffing should be directed to positions which would reduce the negative impact on volunteer FIREFIGHTERs, allowing them to do what they are willing to do for free. If the county was to take on what spbrooks recommended, SYSTEM STATUS MANAGEMENT, many of the current issues would be mitigated or resolved. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term system status management, it is basically a dynamic demand based EMS system placing dedicated (paid) staffed units where they are most needed. This could be both from firehouses as well as key locations throughout the county.

                      By doing so, the HUGE, unrealistic and devastating burden of EMS transport would be lifted from the volunteer base bringing back many of the volunteer who left from EMS BURN OUT and keeping others who would have left given the current practice.

                      Take the paid fire department staffing and place them on ambulances to allow the volunteers, those who are not compensated, and do not want to be unduly stuck on an ambulance, the ability to ride firetrucks. By taking two paid firefighters per unit and placing dedicated ambulances on the street, the suppression positions they would normally be placed in would be more than made up by keeping, bringing back and basically shoring the volunteer base for fire suppression. In addition, when a fire incident occurs, have the ambulance respond with the fire trucks to supplement fire ground staffing (great for 2-in, 2-out – train them to be the RIC team then those firefighters on the responding units can concentrate on suppression directed activities).

                      In doing so you will experience a significantly improved EMS system (more units and faster response), improved suppression staffing (fewer to no understaffed fire trucks) and better moral overall (compensated individuals do the work the volunteers don’t want to, but get a pay check in return and the volunteers get to spend their DONATED time doing what they came to do). This would SAVE COUNTY TAXPAYERs money because their would be higher volunteer staffing and improved services.

                      Does it make sense? Why won’t the county leadership listen – or the fire department decide they should do what is in the best interest of the county and not Local 1619 of the IAFF?

                      I left PG, and have gone on to other things but my heart is still there and I wish young firefighters in 10 years will still get the opportunity I had. Maybe next time I speak up I'll touch on the Non-profit gaming and where the fire department will end up on its current track.

                        I'm with you brother 100%. I too saw the folly of EMS about 1979. A free taxi ride to the hospital for far too many. In fact when I lived at West Lanham Hills # 28 in 1980-1983 I refused to go on any ambulance calls (28 had an ambulance back then, 2500+ per yr.) We had a paid man because of the ambulance, and 3 vollys who were live-ins. The kicker was the ambo was in and out all night long with the paid guy and one of the volunteer live-ins which left only 2 of us for the wagon or the truck. To get a shift man you had to have the ambo. but at the same time the ambo was hurting our fire response readyness.........Do you see where i'm going with this? 28 has told the County to pound salt and the ambo is gone. but as Jeff so skillfully pointed out the ems business is the road to ruin in P.G. County.

                        Why should Volunteers have something imposed upon them by pusillanimous leadership at the County Fire Chiefs level. I'll agree with Capt.Dan of dcfd Manning suffers at most pgfd houses. Thats what makes sucess stories so refreshing such as "The little Engine on Landover Rd that Could"

                        The possible answer is for the Volunteer Chiefs to wake up, stop takin grief from Mr. Sorrynicky and tell him to shove his ambos. The firemen would come back in droves, the county taxpayers would sit-up and take notice. and perhaps the County would do something to address the undermanned companies that plague many PGFD companies.

                        The paid fire chief has been playing a game of pit one volunteer against another for far too long.........the time for real leadership has arrived. When it come to ems...."Just say No"..........Jake

                          Bravo, Jeff! Extremely well presented and quite factual -- let's see if any of the so called "experts" can refute that! Perhaps some of the "leaders" should sit up and take notice!

                            SBrooks brought to light a point which I'm hoping PGFD forum members could clarify. Not to be a puto, but I'd like only current or former PGFD members to answer the inquiry.

                            He mentioned that PGFVD members are not permitted to use paramedic skills. In listening to some radio traffic (haven't had time to come for a visit since graduation from college) that some departments which I think are volunteer do have medics. I've heard company 49 have a medic running (that's Laurel Rescue, right?) and 46's with a medic...Kentland's less known station... Could any of you perhaps enlighten a midwesterner a bit? If you can not administer paramedic skills (narcotics and the what not), what actions would you take if you took a call in your first due area for a full arrest and the medic was still a ways off?

                              I Take Nothing Personal on these Fourms...Your Appoligies are accepted and appriciated...As far as Kentland is concerned if you ever get the chance to go down you will see what everyone means an engine company that responds to thousands of runs a year/all volunteer/sometimes 15-20 per day...Is busy and needs to be good --- the amount of work they see is high also --- read the website www.kentland33.com and even listen to the live audio and you'll see that they have thier s*** together --- Peace and Stay Safe out there

                                As the jake from beantown said, there are 8 (actually a couple more now) medic units in the county. They used to be numbered sequentially 1-8 and i could tell you how many we had, now they are numbered by the station. eg, Medic 4, 12, 47, 49. They are staffed exclusively by career paramedics. The county is now requiring all Emergency Response Technician recruits (what most people would call a FF) to become paramedics. there was talk, don't know how far it has gotten, of openining a volunteer staffed paramedic unit.

                                If you are a paramedic in maryland, and are volunteering your time on a PG county ambulance, and you run a code, and the closest medic unit is 10-15 minutes away, you AED, pump and blow, and load and go. Too bad for the patient i guess.

                                BTW for all of you who know about PG County: They have approximately 500 uniformed employees, perhaps more now that theyve hired 128. How about this break down:
                                10 four man companies staffed 24/7,
                                8 four man companies staffed 12/7,
                                24 two man medic units staffed 24/7, and
                                22 two man medic units staffed 12/7.

                                I believe this comes out to 504 personnel with a daytime peak of 18 staffed companies and an evening peak of 46 staffed medic units. Currently PGFD uses overtime for filling vacancies for sick leave, annual leave, etc.

                                Just a thought. I didn't even bring up quints or casino gaming.

    Here's a list of my most memorable mistakes.

    I also spent a long time (2-3 months) without learning what rebirth is.

    I was trying to fight the Gigantic White Wolf field boss, and used the "revive here" button like 10 times, so I had -100% XP and didn't level up for MONTHS until I learned what rebirth was.

    I also one time mistook the Giant Red Spider in Alby Basic to be a regular Giant Spider (it looks just like it). Then I died like 3-4 times.

    I deleted my old human character because skill resets weren't a thing.

    I had no idea there were varying dungeon difficulties, so I joined a random Ciar party back in G8 and unknowingly went into Advanced and got creamed.

    I tried to enter Peaca alone back when there was a 4 person requirement.

    I had no idea there was a weapon shop in Tir Chonaill for like two weeks, so I wandered with broken swords for a while.

    I thought the Trinity Staff was a super rare item and tried to sell it to someone for a million gold.

    I bounced around random talents and never focused on finishing a single talent.

    I made my Elf assistant character a melee fighter.

    I ate any food that dropped, and became really, really fat.

    I played default songs with the performance feature active and expected people to give me lots of money for being "a musician".

    I tried selling a Shadow of Eweca (extremely old event item) for a million gold.

    I had no idea continent warp was a thing; I travelled to and from Iria ON FOOT.

    I had no idea you could get to Physis and Connous without a flying mount or someone giving you a ride there.

    I went through a moon gate one time (back when they sent you to a pre-defined location) and got murdered by a bear, then waited half an hour for someone to revive me. I was lost for another hour, trying to find my way back to noob town.

    I wore a Lava Cat Robe because back in the G8 days, if you wore a Lava Cat Robe you were automatically considered "professional".

    My ping to the servers ranged from 500ms-4000ms.

    Most of my newbie days were spent wondering how the hell does anyone fight in this game, let alone pull off actual combat combos. Spent a few years doing life skills and ptjs and had to hire someone to get me through G1 (his party ad said S>Mercenary services lol).

    Even though I started back in Pioneers of Iria, it was well past C3 before I completed any mainstream quests, and around C4 when I finally started ranking combat skills.

    Also I left stuff in the locked side of the bank tab.

    Let's see.. the mistakes I remember..

    1. Before mailboxes were a thing I would drop items from my other account to "trade" it to my own account. It worked with most things, score scrolls mostly. I dropped a Premium Summer '08 dress and logged onto my other account and poof. Had the dress no longer. It wasn't even my dress, it was my sister's RIP.

    2. Back before Nuadha robes were in gachas and you could only get them through NPC coins, I accepted a trade for one of my more rarer coins.. The dude offered me I think it was 10mil and a lot of items, so I said sure. I didn't even get the money because he filled the trade window up with items, which was only like 1/4 of the items he was giving me. Completed the trade and he ran off without giving me the gold and the other 3/4s ; w;

    3. Some random asked me for a pvp so he could die and revive with Nao to bless his equipment. Me being the little naive one I was said sure. Pvp happened, was killed in 3 hits. ; ; Free win for him and I fell right for the trap.

    I think I've made plenty of other mistakes too.. But these are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head, haha!

    I used to destroy all the event items because I had no idea what they were and thought that they were taking up space. I thought Tir Chonaill was the only place in mabi and was really confused and did part-time jobs for a month there (no WONDER there weren't that much people there). I dropped a DEV cat 10x10 bag on the ground because I had no idea what it was :D I destroyed a tutorial quest because I was scared of killing the wolves so I wandered about confused on what to do.

    I had no idea about the value of gold ingame or what gacha items sold for so I bought a ton of gacha items and undersold them in a personal shop at ridiculously low prices (to the point that people would actually try and trade me more gold because they felt bad for the stupid newbie selling training pots for 20k). I didn't know that Belvast existed or that I should probably shop around to get an idea about item/gold worth and hitting 1m in my bank made me feel like a god, even though I probably should've had much more after burning through tons of gachas.

    I thought beginner enchants came off if you died with the item equipped. My friend gave me a Trinity wear as a gift and this was back when Trinity was super rare and expensive. I enchanted it with a beginner enchant like.. i'll die eventually and it will come off and I can put something else on it later. But then I realised the truth and now that 8 squares outfit is stuck in my Me tab or bank for all eternity =_=
    Idk how I thought that but I did.

    Also was trying so hard to rank all skills without resetting. Bought a raccoon cub pirate gear and everything. Did skills like windmill, enthralling etc no problem. Buttttt I somehow forgot Shock................. and now my CP is waaay too high to train it even with CP gear. So i'm gonna have to reset at some point just for that skill. To master Hydra probably as well. I only have the "strong" req left for that but idk where to find 8 strong enemies that I can train on. Ghhhh TT v TT
    Edit: update!! shock ended out to be way easier than i thought and rank 1'd it during master plan event without resetting woop woop

    My biggest mistake was to go all into archery.
    Once upon a time, post-open-beta, archery was the bee's knees. Arrow revolver didn't have a cooldown and windmill will use the bow's attack. Since I was very into life skills and crafting, I got plenty of dex and thus I hit hard.
    THEN theres: arrow revolver stamina cost increase, windmill uses barehanded damage with a bow equipped, elves were introduced with the double ranged attack, GENESIS happened and slapped cooldowns on everything and latency issues became worse. Now archery is the thing that you stay away from.

    I thought rebirthing would make me lose everything, back when your first rebirth required you to be level 20 or something.
    So I made sure, by dying and reviving on the spot over and over, that I would have -99.99% exp and I would never get to level 20 and rebirth.
    Eventually I bit the bullet and decided to do it, after digging myself out from that exp hole, but first I sold all my stuff at like 1 gold a piece cause I thought it would be gone anyway. I didn't have anything worth much at total level 20, but still.

    I also put off G1 until total level 3000. I don't know why. I already had giant transform from the old quests, so I guess I just forgot about it. I actually asked for help from guild mates to do the early generations, so a party of total level ~15k marched into those dungeons.

    And while not in game, I feel the need to say that when I joined mabi, I would turdpost on these forums all day long. The posts I made were so annoying that I still cringe about them to this day. When someone recognized me from the forums in game, I was mortified and never did it again.

    Also I discovered mabi before I discovered the rest of the internet, so when people were making memes and references on the forums, I thought they were specific to mabi. I had no idea what the TF2 engie nope gif was about, and i thought it was a mabi reference. I wasn't a smart kid.

    My biggest mistake when I was a newblet was dropping a lava cat robe on Alby's altar. Back then, those robes were really pricey and it took me forever to save up enough gold to buy one. I was doing some Alby runs and stopped to rearrange my inventory. I dropped the robe (without thinking since I was standing on the altar) so I could pick it back up momentarily after rearranging my inventory, but to my horror I found myself entering the dungeon. /facepalm After that, I started grinding fossils so I could get another robe. Took forever but I managed to get one again.

    During the early days of the game, it was harsh and at times forgiving during combat against monsters. The game also made it easy to learn (the combat system) as quickly as you made mistakes.
    Dying was sort of fun since there were a lot of players going through the same experience and many were there to revive you. Reviving others gave Exp which encouraged players to help others. Helping in raids and field bosses was a ton of fun when you are still new to the combat-system since the monsters move around and you can also run away - like a game of tag, virtual-tag. The game also allows hide-and-go-seek since the monsters can become obstructed by objects or walls.

    Getting Ancient Magic Powder off of Ancients and selling them 20k a pop in Dunby because I thought magic powder was garbage. Wasn't fun learning the actual price of them when I was a noob after selling so many.

    Something I regret to this day is dropping my old Black Outing Uniform shoes in Filia because I preferred some Sandra Sniper Suit boots I found in a clothing store. Basically everything had taxes on it that I couldn't afford as a noob. In fact, until yesterday, I had the matching Black Outing Earring in the Lost and Found because I couldn't afford the 15k to get it out.

    Then there was my nooby ignorance of the existence of Belvast. Back when I started, Dunby used to have a bunch of cool stuff there instead of the absolute trash people sell there today. Since the shop limit was 2.25m there, I managed to convince myself everything in the game was in that price range and ended up under pricing tons of stuff. When I came back in 2014, I was not pleased to discover Belvast. Seriously, screw that island. It crushed all the dreams I had as a noob.

    A more recent mistake was with the Fate gacha. I logged in about two minutes after the servers went back up, and passed on a chance to nab a Saber Dress for 1m. Punched myself in the head when I saw how high the price on them shot two hours later.

    Then of course there was the Windmill epidemic. RIP four WM training pots later down the line.

News MSI Launches RX 6800 XT and 6900 XT Gaming Z Cards With Boosted Clocks

I like how these AIBs mfgs. make it sound like such a big deal that their super-duper gaming XYZ versions of the 6900 XT can do 2425Mhz. Reference/Founder's Edition cards usually do this out of the box.
My reference 6900 XT was boosting to 2500MHz out of the box without any clock/voltage adjustments. After a bit of undervolting it's now boosting to 2550MHz AND keeping cool and quiet.

It's almost like they just nerf the boost (from reference) to sell a cheaper card and then remove the nerf for the ones that are their l33t gaming versions.

Message 11 of 13

Ah, thank you Justin!  A typo on my part! You see in my second paragraph where I said enther ther WEP key (if there is one).

I have only used the Westell routers, but indeed, if your router has WEP (Wireless Encryption) turned on when it comes out of the box, there should be some kind of indication to this and somewhere on a label or book should be the WEP key.

Re: If I get Fios can I connect wirelessly with my Mac?

Message 12 of 13

Thanks a lot guys.  I have a twenty-five year old son who used to do all this technical stuff for me.  Since he moved a couple of hours away over a year ago, I'm on my own unless he's visiting!  Let me see if I have this straight.  I should not have any trouble connecting but I need the WEP key which should be on the back of the router.  I enter this when it asks for the password the first time I try to connect to the network.  Hopefully I have this right so far.  Once I do this I need to log onto the router and change the encryption method.  In System Preferences under Network it shows that my security is WPA Personal (I think my son must have done this for me) so I guess I'm good there.  How do I log onto the router?  And BDMMcGrew, I hope I don't have to explain anything to the Verizon tech or I'm sunk!

Re: If I get Fios can I connect wirelessly with my Mac?

Message 13 of 13

I have been using the wireless and found that there are two problems:

 1. The macbook does not always connection to the wireless and thus I have to manually toggle the wireless on the macbook

to force the connection.  I am using WPA and hidding the SSID on the actiontek  (non broadcast). A friend of mine had a similar

problem connection his windows system to my wireless.

2. Until recently, communication between a mac on the ethernet lan and the macbook on the wireless was flawless. However

shared printing and other apps stopped working. It was as if the wireless and the the ethernet lan were seperate remote networks

with respect to each other

On other wireless routers, like the apple airport extreme or the linksys the wireless and the ethernet lan may be configured to be

the same subnet and thus let all local system talk to each other with no problems.

VERSAILLES, Ky. (FOX 56) — Flood relief donations are popping up everywhere, and the Woodford County community is joining in.

All this week, several spots will be taking flood relief donation items. The biggest needs right now are cleaning supplies, plastic totes, drinking water, and hygiene items.

Woodford County High school is one example of a collection spot. Calling your Woodford County officials will give you info on other spots taking items as well.

“It put a lot of pride in my heart to see Woodford County executives, especially the judge reach out and say, let’s try to get this done like we did for Western Kentucky. Eastern Kentucky will always be home to me. There are a lot of folks with deep roots in Woodford County that have those roots in Eastern Kentucky,” said Woodford County Schools Superintendent Danny Adkins.

“When we consider how much we love our home and our community thinking about something so tragic, putting ourselves in the shoes of people of Eastern Kentucky or back in Western Kentucky with the tornadoes. When we consider what that would mean for us, our hearts just go out for them,” added Woodford County Schools Information and Communications Officer Elaine Bailey.

The goal is to send buses filled with supplies at the end of the week. Drop-offs will be taken at Woodford County High School through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Changing Banks in the Ides of August

By now, you too may have concluded that Wells Fargo—or another unscrupulous megabank— should not be left alone with your money. Wells Fargo’s latest scandal involves some 570,000 customers with car loans. The poor souls were saddled with insurance that they neither needed nor in some cases even knew about. The extra costs meant borrowers fell behind in their payments and in some 20,000 cases, their cars were repossessed. Yes, lawsuits are underway, damages will be paid, and Wells Fargo shares are down. But have you checked your own megabank’s sales practices, its stakes in oil and gas versus renewable energy, its board members’ and CEO salaries? Try it.

So you have decided, reluctantly, that enough is enough? You agree that controlling the use of our money is one of the few positive actions we can take in this deranged world?

The doldrums of August are not a bad time to act, or at least to contemplate the prospect. And here are a few suggestions for making the break, from my own experience and of course from the internet.

1– Locate a new bank or credit union, one that does not invest your money in fossil fuels or engage in sleazy, not to mention criminal business practices, but does offer the basic banking services you need.
You can get information on ethical, community-oriented U.S. banks and credit unions here: https//www.greenamerica.org/break-up-with-your-mega-bank
Ethics aside, U.S. banks’ financial soundness can be checked at http://www.bankrate.com/rates/safe-sound/bank-ratings-search.as
In California, we can recommend Beneficial State Bank and Mechanics Bank.

2–Moving to a smaller bank or credit union may require some sacrifices.There may not be a branch in your neighborhood. If there is, there may not be a bright-eyed, sharply-dressed young person to greet you at the entrance and help you to find your way, somehow, to a teller or the ATM.
With minimal overhead, smaller banks and credit unions can often offer lower fees and higher interest rates for savings. And if you decide to join a credit union, you will also become a voting member, with shares, not a customer.
Every bank, regardless of size, is insured through FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.) Credit unions have the same backing, ($250,000) through the NCUA (National Credit Union Association).

3–Open a new account in the institution you have chosen, with a deposit well above your new bank’s minimum, to avoid service charges.

4–Cease activity involving your old mega-bank. Stop writing checks; don’t use your debit card. Use cash and checks from your new account.

5– Re-setting all your automatic payments is really a drag, but it’s well worth the long-term peace of mind. Figure out which ones were set up through the company you’re paying, and which were set up through your old bank’s Bill Pay system. Make a list of all payments that are automatically debited from your account–utilities, mortgage, credit card payments, monthly donations.
Be sure to set up the proper online payments through your new bank, and change the account information for payments automatically debited by companies. Last, but not least, change your banking information in any other online payment systems you have set up, from Paypal to newspaper subscriptions.

6–Reroute your direct deposits, from paychecks, pensions, and Social Security. This is surprisingly simple and swifter than might be expected. You will need to have ready your new bank account’s routing number (you know, on the bottom left side of a check) and your account number (just to the right of the routing number.)
Your employer should have an easy form you can fill out to change your direct deposit information. This usually can be done by the next pay cycle, but make sure to ask how long it will take to process. For Social Security changes, go to https://www.ssa.gov/deposit where, if you are already receiving benefits, you can open a Social Security account and start or change Direct Deposit online.

7–Take one last look to make sure everything in your old bank account has cleared. If you have no outstanding payments or credits, make a trip to the bank and close your account. Call the bank ahead of time to set up a meeting with a banker. Explain why you are leaving his/her bank, and, for maximum impact, bring a letter that can be passed up to higher management.

8–Transfer remaining funds from your old checking account into your new account. You can do this electronically or with a cashier’s check. We did it with personal checks, which is easier and cheaper, but not as immediate. Once the transfer clears your new account, close the old one. Get written confirmation that the account has been closed.

*** Once you’ve left your greedy megabank, do consider replacing your credit card, issued by some other big bank such as Citi, Bank of America–or Wells Fargo. With each charge you are helping finance destructive pipelines, fracking, tar sands, predatory lending, fraudulent foreclosure practices, and famously outrageous CEO bonuses. Why not instead support investment in a clean environment, local and green businesses, fair housing loans, and more, by using a green credit card http://www.greenhttps://america.org/take-charge-your-card.

They breathe profits; they eat the interest on money. If they don’t get it they die… It is a sad thing, but it is so. It is just so.”

― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

Brands do better
by doing good.

BienenKollektiv is more than a new food brand. It is an experiment, created to explore the do’s and dont’s of modern consumerism. At its core lies the idea that a brand does better by doing good. In this case it means to provide a high end quality product to a market that is limited by its own standards – while consumers demand more.

On display:
The brand’s
inner strength.

We created a brand identity based upon the idea of growing collective with a wide range of diverse members. Each member of the association will be provided by a unique label for their jar. The design language is a modern interpretation of flower power. Based on our principle „advertising through design“ it makes use of highly visible, talkative and engaging esthetics.

A perfectly

In the highly competitive food market, small players with high quality standards usually don’t stand a chance. Which makes their product unavailable to a public with a taste for high end honey. BienenKollektiv provides these small beekeepers with new opportunities by forming a sales association meeting the demands of large supermarket chains.

A Brand with
a heart
of a brand core.

A product’s true relevance can not be described by abstract marketing variables. Thus, BienenKollektiv is defined by the the story of each individual beekeeper. Some care for more than a dozen hives while others have their hands full with 2 hives (and a bunch of kids). Their wish to produce a great product becomes the foundation of BienenKollektiv’s brand, design and content strategy.

An organic product
with a digital edge.

BienenKollektiv is a brand conceived for digital outlets. Budget restrictions forced us to develop a design language that would also work in off the shelf solutions for digital media.

Anambra LP, ANPP kick as Obi plans to conduct LG polls in Oct

peter_obiOpposition parties in Anambra State have kicked against the planned local government election in October, insisting that the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) wants to manipulate the exercise to ensure that its candidate wins the November governorship election.

Two-term governor, Peter Obi, is not seeking election but the opposition parties believe “he wants to use the council polls to put his stooges in strategic places to have a smooth outing in the November governorship election”.

To the Labour Party (LP) and All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Anambra electorate must be mobilised to ensure that the council poll does not hold in October.

LP and ANPP state chairmen, Sam Oraegbunam and Pat Orjiakor, said on Monday that if Obi is indeed a democratic, then the council poll should hold after the governorship election.

The last local government election in the South-East state was conducted in 1998 during the military regime.

Lagos PDP crisis: Bode George, Ogunlewe reconcile

bode_geoge_and_ogunleweThe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Lagos State Chapter, on Friday announced that the lingering disagreement between two of its leaders — Chief Olabode George and Sen. Adeseye Ogunlewe — has been resolved.

In a statement in Lagos, the PDP said:“The reported battle over the soul of the party in Lagos State has been settled.

“The two gladiators involved — George and Ogunlewe — on Thursday night finally resolved their differences.

“The duo expressed their intention to work together for the progress of the party in the 2015 elections.’’

The statement was signed by the party’s Publicity Secretary, Mr Taofik Gani.

George was a former Deputy National Chairman of the party, while Ogunlewe, who defected from the Alliance for Democracy (AD) to the PDP, served as Minister of Works under ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The statement noted that the supremacy battle between the chieftains contributed to the party’s unimpressive performance in the 2011 elections.

“After what appears like a long rope to internal reconciliation by the leadership of the party, the duo finally appeared in public glare to bury their differences.

“They also promised to close ranks for the party towards the 2015 polls.

“We have moved beyond closing ranks. We are now glued together as a family. Before the end of this year, the family will be more united, robust, happier and stronger, ready to win elections.” it added.

T-Shirts for Men: A Tie-Dye of Styles and Feels

Sure, there are the fundamentals of comfort color tshirts, such as fabric. Men's t-shirts are available in a variety of materials, from cotton to poly mixes. In reality, some brands may employ the same material in various quantities or through different techniques of preparation, resulting in a superior skin feel as compared to another brand that may have used cotton and silk, but not in the same way as "this" brand. Be warned, however, that due to allergies, comfort and soft shirts are not the same thing. Some poly mixes feel like silk and cost a tenth of the price, but they might cause rashes, pimples, and other unusual skin anomalies, so keep in mind that a pleasant feel and low price does not always imply a good choice for you. Choosing the proper men's t-shirt takes time, especially with the variety of fabrics and designs available today Found more info on this website - https://picslair.com/blog/-simple-tips-to-know-about-while-choosing-the-best-wholesale-supplier.

T-shirts for men have lately gone through some fascinating styles. A monster known as the "Henley" has taken over men's t-shirt styles for a long time, but just recently. Henley's are frequently fairly soft to the touch, yet can keep any wearer warm with their long sleeves. They have an appearance that evokes pajamas from before the internet had a name. The polo-like buttons give the shirt a unique look, which may be precisely what some people want. However, new styles have emerged, such as the v-neck collar, which reveals more "cleavage" on a man. V-necks are really rather comfortable since they allow the shirt to breathe more freely, enabling more air to reach the chest.

Men's t-shirt designs, on the other hand, are more akin to fads than the graphic t-shirt approach, which has become popular thanks to the "Rocker" style, which involves wearing a graphic t-shirt under a blazer. In reality, Dr. House, a character on Fox's blockbuster show "House," wears the appearance. Not everyone wearing a graphic t-shirt, however, is a sheep; others are shepherds. There are colorful graphic t-shirts, which is vital to highlight.

Jack TV and FOX Philippines have announced that they will both broadcast ‘Heroes Reborn’ via satellite starting tomorrow. The premiere broadcast of ‘Heroes Reborn’ on both channels will be as follows:

  • Jack TV – 11:00 a.m.
  • FOX Philippines – 11:35 a.m.

‘Heroes Reborn’ is a 13-episode miniseries that picks up from where the original series ‘Heroes’ left off. In the U.S., the mini-series will air on NBC, the same home network as the original.

The original ‘Heroes’ first saw the light of day in the Philippines when it was aired on RPN-9 via its Prime Shift and C/S 9 branding. The series ran from 2006 to 2010 and spanned four seasons.

Just recently, all episodes of the original ‘Heroes’ were re-aired on FOX Philippines, who also intend to air ‘Heroes Reborn’. However, Jack TV, a former sister station of RPN-9, also made their own case on the upcoming miniseries, and as a result, a bidding war began between the two networks.

The program rights battle between Solar Entertainment and FOX International Channels is no longer new. There have been instances of one program being aired on each of the company’s channels; for example, Jack TV and FOX Philippines have the rights to ‘The Simpsons’ and ‘Family Guy’, among other programs, with the difference being that the former airs the current season and the latter the previous seasons.

That said, it’s hard to fathom the fact that two cable networks will premiere the same program at almost the same time. It is also confusing, because the viewers will find it hard to choose which channel to watch.

Perhaps the time has come for Solar’s Wilson Tieng and FOX International’s Jude Turcuato to settle this issue once and for all. The similarities between the two outfits should not go a little too far by airing the same program almost simultaneously, so they have to figure out a way to differentiate themselves according to content.

Let’s just hope that they work out a deal in the near future. After all, this is for the best interests of the viewer.

Notwithstanding the energetic melodic existence of Warsaw, Chopin earnestly required more extensive melodic experience, thus his committed guardians tracked down the cash to send him off to Vienna.

Sydney Harbour Bridge at night

Phone / Tablet

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is an Australian heritage-listed steel through arch bridge across Sydney Harbour that carries rail, vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic between the Sydney central business district (CBD) and the North Shore. The view of the bridge, the harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is widely regarded as an iconic image of Sydney, and of Australia itself. The bridge is nicknamed “The Coathanger” because of its arch-based design.

Under the direction of John Bradfield of the New South Wales Department of Public Works, the bridge was designed and built by British firm Dorman Long of Middlesbrough (who based the design on their 1928 Tyne Bridge in Newcastle upon Tyne) and opened in 1932. The bridge’s general design, which Bradfield tasked the NSW Department of Public Works with producing, was a rough copy of the Hell Gate Bridge in New York City. This general design document, however, did not form any part of the request for tender, which remained sufficiently broad as to allow cantilever and even suspension bridge proposals. The design chosen from the tender responses was original work created by Dorman Long, who leveraged some of the design from their own Tyne Bridge which, though superficially similar, does not share the graceful flares at the ends of each arch which make the harbour bridge so distinctive. It is the sixth longest spanning-arch bridge in the world and the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 meters from top to water level. It was also the world’s widest long-span bridge, at 48.8 m (160 ft) wide, until construction of the new Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver was completed in 2012.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was added to the Australian National Heritage List on 19 March 2007 and to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 25 June 1999.
