1:00 PM
Also, some of their good solutions are only good in theory. For instance, they removed the many diferent procedures for combat maneuvers and replaced them with a single one, with bad math.
Sadly, the Pathfinder developers have some Very Strong Opinions about How To Play Their Game, and there's a culture on Paizo forums and in some groups which will mock and ridicule certain playstyles.
@BESW Oh, dear... that doesn't sound promising...
So Pathfinder culture splits into those who agree with the developers and have an active relationship with the company... and those who don't, and just buy the books to do their own thing with their heads hunkered down.
Problem is, the rules don't work toward playing their game that way
There isn't really a sense that the game belongs to the players.
1:02 PM
@Zachiel Which way?
This is one reason Gareth finds PFS so distasteful: it's an Official Paizo Playdate, so you gotta Play The Paizo Way. Mach schnell!
they like the characters to be built in a really "because it would do so" way, as opposed to munchkinism and power gaming, AFAIK
Zach's right. Just like 3.5, Pathfinder is an optimizer's game.
(I don't really know much about it, it's second hand information)
But the devs don't want it to be one, so they mock anyone who tries to use the rules to achieve superior mechanical builds.
1:04 PM
The devs strongly believe it's not needed to be an efficient character to have fun, and if you're not having fun because you're not strong, then you know nothing about what roleplaying is about
(which is one of my problems in the famous site I'm in)
There's a common dichotomy one runs into in RPG culture: that "role-play" and "roll-play" are not compatible, and the only way to role-play is to actively shun mechanical achievement.
Paizo seems to have drunk the kool-aid on that one.
or, like in my case, that to be both a roll player and a role player you need some untrainable skills
Sadly, their (adopted) system is designed from the roots up to reward mechanical achievement through rules exploitation.
going afk
@Lord_Gareth Should we have a tag?
1:07 PM
@JonathanHobbs [ducks for cover]
Plus it's something someone can be an expert in right?
Yeah, it seems reasonable.
@BESW Well, to be fair, D&D and derivatives have always had an unspoken culture of encouraging min-maxing. It was the only way to do tabletops for a while, until games started to realize that an entire game could be played just with the "roles" rather than the "rolls".
All the numbers and stat bonuses you can stack and such... it was for the crunchy types.
Now, Wizards' income from 4e is waning and they see an RPG culture that is increasingly turning toward specialized niche systems which cater to the specific game experience desires of a group, rather than sprawling RPGs which try to accommodate a wide variety of game experiences.
I still can't grasp THAC0, because I'm horrible with math.
1:10 PM
Hasbro's breathing down the necks of the Coastal Wizards, and they need to get Paizo's customers back.
One thing I'm kind of wondering; why hasn't Hasbro/WotC tried to jump on the "Magic: the Gathering" expansion into an RPG, possibly even as a D&D setting?
So they're designing D&D Next, a system they hope to make so boringly generic at its core that you can snap on groups of modules to customize your own game experience inspired by whichever edition or set of editions you preferred.
@Aaron Hi.
@Aaron Zhallo!
@BESW So that's what this D&D Next thing is!
1:13 PM
@ProfessorLokiCaprion Yup. It's an attempt to create a generic D&D armature onto which players can sculpt their own version of the game, in an attempt to please everyone at once and call people back from the various other RPG systems they've started using because D&D doesn't meet their needs anymore.
Like Pathfinder.
@BESW My specific needs are fully met by Fate; I really think every game I run henceforth will be using it.
@ProfessorLokiCaprion Try this article.
i dun made a tag
Oh @BESW did you like that image I posted?
1:14 PM
@Aaron I'm not sure why they're in costume at the table, but yes.
i'll err on the side of "sure what could go wrong with this" and if something goes wrong it can be nuked
@BESW Some DND groups do that. They act in character at the table and dress up ect. It's like a cross of LARP and DND
Mmm. I would sometimes bring a prop.
As GM I'd often have things to hand them--by the end of a campaign we'd have a binder of crumpled notes and things.
As a player, less so.
This was my first exposure to DND. lol
1:18 PM
Oooh, T2CB just got a new follower.
@Aaron That seems traumatic.
@BESW It cracked me up. I though it was hilarious.
@BESW Ah, thank you! Funny, I have some Dreamblade figures.
@Aaron Kids these days.
So it sounds like the MTG/D&D crossing never happened due to totally internal issues!
@BESW I'll admit I had a very odd sense of humor.
1:27 PM
Sigh. Just flagged three comments that were using the comment feature to answer a closed question.
It's not a loophole, people!
[lectures people who never come to chat]
@ProfessorLokiCaprion Anything I'm missing from the Recent History of D&D lecture?
@BESW I think you covered it!
We'll see how my return to numbers-based games goes, tonight.
Oh, Essentials.
To be fair; A Song of Ice and Fire may be numbers-based, but my character hardly ever has to roll dice.
I'm vaguely aware of some numbers on my sheet.
4e Essentials is basically the same deal as 3.5: partway through the edition's lifespan they wanted to implement some relatively major changes.
And it's worth mentioning that some of the later 3.5 splat (especially "Tome of Battle") is obviously early experiments in 4e-like mechanics and philosophies.
On the other hand, 4e's content just sort of fizzled out.
With 4e it felt like the 3.5 designers were champing at the bit to do something new, and were already experimenting in 3.5.
But with D&D Next it feels like they just got bored with 4e and wanted to try something else, but they didn't know what.
@ProfessorLokiCaprion I'ma go ahead and state that this is not accurate. And besides, min-maxing isn't the poster's problem; it's having a concept that simply will not work.
@JonathanHobbs - A Pathfinder Society tag might not be bad, considering that it's a highly specific playstyle and known set of rules/houserule that crops up a lot.
1:36 PM
@Lord_Gareth Oh, I wasn't making my comment on that one question; just in general. And it's really just my viewpoint from my experiences.
D&D and Pathfinder are not easy systems in which to explore bucking the trends their mechanics enforce.
@JonathanHobbs Well, yes.
But the Wonderful Wizzes are allergic to that.
Yeah they were all like
<_< >_> <_<
hey y'all folks want a new bunch o' classes
we got a bunch o' new classes you wanna take a look?
what do you mean those powers no it's totes the same thing go play that berserker alongside a barbarian <_>
y'all have fun now
"hey why's this guy got like one third the powers of his barbarian"
[shouts from the distance] FEATURES
"And what's with the sudden obsession with basic attacks? I thought those were, like, the Microsoft Bob of powers and now they're awesome."
"guys there's a 4e feat here that lets me change my basic attack to eyebite so i hope you like getting hit by monsters whilst i be awesome at the same time as being invisible"
Heh. I still love my player's build that combined Eyebite with Divine Challenge.
Eyebite is a real thing?!
@ProfessorLokiCaprion Warlock at-will power, ranged, deals psychic damage and makes you invisible to your target for one round.
And Divine Challenge means they can't really hit anyone but you without being hurt, right?
Or does it mean they have to hit you or be hurt, I can't remember
1:46 PM
@JonathanHobbs yep
@JonathanHobbs Right. You mark them, and any attack that doesn't include you deals damage to them.
(and carries a -2 penalty)
Divine Challenge ends at the end of any of your turns in which you didn't attack the guy or end your turn next to him.
Since Eyebite only lasts one round... you're spamming that on 'em.
And once or twice in the encounter they will actually see you for one round, and then you'll wink away again.
The best solution if you're targeted by an Eyebite/DC combo is to run away and find cover for a round so DC falls off you.
@JonathanHobbs Yes, because you're a feylock, better called a trolllock.
Winking away is how you do.
1:49 PM
@BESW and considering the pace of 4e combat, you'll step out to see a full party of blades and arrows pointed at you, a clever guy will say "Hi!", and then you say "Oh" and cut scene.
@BESW it's making me laugh that you said that and i like it
I spent twelve levels dealing with a teleport-spamming, invisible, mind-controlling feylock with multiclass access to Divine Challenge.
He was the living embodiment of "neener, neener."
@BESW how did he get it more than 1/encounter?
@waxeagle Both are at will
@JonathanHobbs Multiclass DC is 1/encounter.
@BESW What really?
Oh. You'd only need it once per encounter actually.
'cuz you just... pick your guy, and attack him every single round.
1:53 PM
He just had to choose his target properly.
@JonathanHobbs yeah I just realized that
This is why the best solution was to run and hide.
@BESW Nice.
don't even have to attack him, just stand next to him
If you could get away effectively enough that the 'lock couldn't target you or end his turn next to you just once, his DC was gone.
1:54 PM
he can't see you, so it's not like he can make an opportunity attack...
@waxeagle Exactly.
Stand next to you, and use his AoE mind control dailies to get all your friends to attack each other. With ranged attacks. While standing next to his friends, for the opportunity attacks.
if he hides he's unattackable, but he doesn't need to hide, you've got a -5 to hit him, -2 to hit his friends...monsters with bursts and blasts become your friends...but then he just steps away and attacks you from range...very nice setup
He had a side specialty in amusing teleport gimmicks.
@BESW very fun :)
By level 14 he could get the entire party through a keyhole.
He had a necklace of feather fall in anticipation of Stupid Teleport Tricks.
1:59 PM
@BESW Is that a metaphorical comment like how Mal says Wash can thread Serenity through the eye of a needle, or does that have some degree of literal truth
@JonathanHobbs Oh, quite literal.
@JonathanHobbs that would be literally true
(Idiomatic? w/e)
LOS is all that's needed for teleport, a keyhole provides that
2:00 PM
He had "take a guy for a ride" teleports, and "force a guy to teleport," and "switch places with a guy" teleports...
One common strategy was for the 'lock to run in first, aggro everyone, do a close burst AoE and then swap places with the (much slower) fighter who had been standing behind everyone else.
The fighter would then do a small AoE to mark everyone who'd been gathered around the squishy 'lock.
And this was the fighter whose every attack pushed at least 5 squares, knocked prone, and slowed.
It was like watching a terribly bloody circle dance.
@BESW (1) Force teleport someone through keyhole. (2) Take a ride with someone through keyhole. (3) Switch places with someone on the other side of keyhole. (4) Take a ride again with the last person. (5) Tell the one with teleportation sickness to get the vomiting over with because he'll feel better once he's gotten it over and done with. y/n?
@JonathanHobbs Something like that, yes.
@BESW Nice.
But with more vomiting and falling over.
This is Trogdor's tiefling, by the way.
@trogdor i am a fan of your work
2:11 PM
The guy who was a desk jockey for the tiefling CIA before getting so dissatisfied that he made a pledge to an eladrin queen in a dream to get the powers he needed to sneak out with the latest invasion plans so he could defect to the enemy.
(This is all his pre-start-of-game backstory; the campaign started with the ragtag team of expendables assigned to chaperone him on a mission to confirm his intelligence was genuine.)
New hat!
@BESW Hats!
I need more hats!!
... is this what it's like to play Team Fortress?
@ProfessorLokiCaprion Hats!!!
@ProfessorLokiCaprion There's more shooting but yes
@JonathanHobbs Only slightly more!
> Team Fortress 2 is the most realistic hat simulator created to date. There is absolutely no other simulator quite like this one. The first time you start the simulator, you join a server where you can play a minigame where you show off your hats and items.
> If you kill a person three times in a row in the minigame, you get your very first hat: the Gibus. This is where it really starts; To play the simulator correctly, you have to spend money in the market place, made by Valve. After that, while you play the minigame, you can find hats which you can trade for, or collect!
> There is many other people who wants to collect and trade hats, just like you! After you collect enough items and/or hats, try joining a trade server! There, the REAL fun begins! Good luck, and beware of ending up poor!
2:18 PM
Haha! Sounds about right
Isn't team fortress that game that had a lot of really funny glitches?
@Aaron It probably did!
user image
2:45 PM
I'm going against long-ingrained traditions here, and instead taking the cool backstory for my character (and the relevant thoughts of the setting and its metaphysics) and keeping it to myself, I'm sharing it with the rest of the party before the campaign starts.
It's hard.
But it's the right think to do. Instead of sitting on my cool ideas and hoping to bring them up in play, I should share them, let others add to them, and thus make sure they come up in play, because they're interesting to everyone.
@lisardggY that's a good idea IMO, even if it's not character knowledge, it helps everyone else have the details needed to tell the story along with you and the DM
Goes against everything I grew up on. :)
@lisardggY exactamente
Even though my Fate game never really got off the ground, I feel I've learned a lot from the game.
@lisardggY I do both and I think in tabletop games it works the best to take the approach of having the other players in on your character's background.
2:49 PM
(I never retweet ads on twitter, but Newcastle's suggestion of giving a holiday 3 pack as a gift this holiday season was worthy of one. I am totally on board with this)
(Plus, you get to gush about it!)
It really put in the forefront ideas I've always tried to play by - explaining how my character's goals aren't necessary my goals, as the player.
It's really handy to have everyone at the table clued in on where the DM/players are going with a plot.

Hello, all.

[Runs through whilst on fire]
careful around the drapes...
[sprays water everywhere after prof]
[somehow misses]
Hands cup of tea to @waxeagle watching @Metool chase the @ProfessorLokiCaprion with water. "A good day yes?"
@Aaron indeed, not very productive so far, but I'm hoping to change that this afternoon so I don't really have anything to do tomorrow and can play with cleric builds all day
@waxeagle "Good Good" Goes back to sipping tea while watching Prof catch everything on fire and burn the place down.
4:50 PM
I have to work on our outfacing career center today. It's one of the things I had the biggest hand in designing/writing/working on. and It's the single feature I hate the most
always fun when a troll makes it into print: cah.tumblr.com/post/70443478420/…
(or better, when the trolled enjoys being trolled)
[Happily sets most things ablaze!]
5:09 PM
anyone working on the CAH puzzle?
@waxeagle What's this, now? If it's CAH, I'm interested!
@ProfessorLokiCaprion if you signed up for their Holiday BS promotion, there was an insert in day one indicating that there was a puzzle
people are trying to figure out what iti s
This is um...probably NSFW
@waxeagle I wish I could have signed up for that in time! :(
@ProfessorLokiCaprion they've said you can still play the puzzle if you haven't signed up
though the puzzle thingy indicated that you shouldn't throw away anything they've sent
5:19 PM
@waxeagle They are tricksy. Did I tell you about what I found in the Bigger, Blacker Box?
@ProfessorLokiCaprion was it the biggest and blackest?
@waxeagle YES!
When my wife took a knife to the inner lid I started to freak out a bit.
still haven't picked that or ex 4 up yet
So these things... are they sending one card a day with these names? Like there's a "Conspicuous Consumption" and "Lump of Coal" card?
I can't load the videos at work, but the site itself works.
@ProfessorLokiCaprion some days it's card sets, other days have been...other things
like day 2 was a lump (or...rather...several bits) of coal
day 4 is a game whose name I can't repeat in this room.
we've gotten days 1-3 so far
5:22 PM
@waxeagle I saw that, and kinda wanna play that game.
rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/30929/… This is actually tough; I allow players to do the OPPOSITE and roll if their characters are smarter than they are... but what about the opposite?
Hell, I gave my opinion, anyway.
heh, we actually got through a section of TOH because our barb made an int check
5:38 PM
Oh, the Tomb of Horrors...
@ProfessorLokiCaprion this isn't a particularly bad version, it's actually meant to be a part of a larger campaign rather than a one off
5:55 PM
I got a new hat that is a secret hat and I have no idea why I got it!
Chuck Yeager? [Googles]
First pilot to travel faster than sound...
Makes sense.
@ProfessorLokiCaprion it's something about speed of answering, it's not too hard to get if you're the first answer
Ah! :D
(When I'm paying attention and I actually know something on the topic)
((Which is rare))
(((Unlike my nested parenthesis)))
Okay, off to see my doctor!
6:38 PM
(anyone else still missing the winter is coming hat?)
It's only Dec. 19th.
I already got it :P, it's 12/20 somewhere
What? No hats?
Come on...
My hat kinda swallows poor Acheron.
7:22 PM
thinkgeek.com/product/173a/?cpg=fb something tells me this isn't going to roll very consistently
It'll probably melt, break, blah.
@waxeagle Hehehe I like the int check
1 hour later…
8:53 PM
All has grown silent now is the time to strike!
Haha beat that sneak roll!
d20 for perception
8:56 PM
@waxeagle Has fallen to my blade! Muhahaha.
new oots
New what?
@waxeagle Ah.
9:18 PM
if anyone plays the vidja games

Hello @Jadasc
10:10 PM
New hat!

@JoshuaAslanSmith Thank you!

11:29 PM
@BESW Hats! \o/
You are a defender of the realms!
Hah! My Digger Omnibus finally shipped out.
Oh, apparently I got starred in chat.
It was one of the very last to be shipped.
it would be nice to have a "Summer is Coming" hat (goggles maybe?) available to people in the southern hemisphere
Wow, hats take some time to load.
11:48 PM
Quality millinery is worth waiting for.

Well that's disappointing! The Survival Dungeon spoiled the Bonus Boss for me. :(
That's whatchu git
@Manaಠдಠ Luke, the Bonus Boss is your father!
@badp Moo.
Man...now what should I do?
I guess grind out The Survival Dungeon?
7:11 PM
Well, let's give this stuff a try.
@Manaಠдಠ Did you finish it? Do you have a Wyvern Horn?
No, I only got as far as Floor 23. But it's going to take hours to finish it...oh man.
@badp You are in a well lit room. A sign hangs on the wall. Many people are present and chatting about some girl and her sister. Obvious exits are: leave, leave all
@Powerlord > add feed.
@Manaಠдಠ Worst comes to worst, you get back-to-back instances of The Tempest.
7:14 PM
@Grace cringe Don't even mention that. It's painful playing it even twice in the same session.
@Manaಠдಠ Imagine how my 4 cycle went.
The sign says "The Bridge of Gaming's StackExchange™ AlienOverlord AskQuestion™ mothership, wherein our resident angry mob are going to make a terrible charge for our lazers Grace Note will fire in the nyarragabaldic attempt to reject Grace Note and replace him with our own choice of moderators in the undergoing, new StackExchange™ PeopleEmpowering Elections-O-Matic testing initiative."
Bluh. Also, you were mentioning a weapon that lets you destroy bombs without magic and not take damage. What is that?
@Manaಠдಠ Poison Crystal
7:16 PM
@Powerlord > wait.
@badp You wait. Grace Note and Mana continuing chatting about the girl, her sister, and a poisoned crystal.
@Powerlord > wait.
@badp The sun begins to set.
@Powerlord > check the feed.
@badp The feed looks normal. Looks like Mana or Grace Note didn't use the poison crystal on it. Or did they?
7:19 PM
alas ... when did y'all get 4chan'd?
@Powerlord > glare at mana
@Cross Since some guy stated that our site is like 4chan.
Besides, I thought some mod changed the room name back then edited their name change message.

Q: OpenTTD: How to handle a station that is both a source and a destination for a resource?

fbreretoI have a large station with a forest on one end and a sawmill on the other. Wood is piling up in the station; does any portion of it get consumed directly by the sawmill? What do I need to do to get the rest of it consumed as well (preferrably by the same sawmill)?

7:28 PM
@GraceNote Should I get Recettear?
Phew, done and posted. Sorry that took so long, but I wanted to format it decently and look up links for some of the announced stuff and that took longer than I expected.
@Manaಠдಠ Yes
@Manaಠдಠ Yes
Oh. Well, okay.
If you liked Chantelise, and if you ever played a real Atelier game, then you'll like Recettear
F5s until the question shows up...
7:30 PM
@Fallen Got at least one thumbs up for the Meta post!
@GraceNote \o/
peers at Meta Why don't I see it listed ?
still not showing up on my feed...
Also your math is suspect and the numbers you gave me didn't add up to 620 euro.
Oh, there we are.

Q: Gamescom 2011 Sponsorship Proposal

FallenAngelEyesGamescom 2011 is coming up from August 18th (17th for trade visitors) to August 21st. I was thinking about sponsoring the Gaming community there, if possible. It's located in Cologne, Germany and will be taking place in the Koelnmesse (Cologne Exhibition Center). What is Gamescom? Gamescom be...

Here it is.
7:35 PM
@GraceNote My b/f would be my ride and photographer, so we kind of have to budget for 2 on the trip. If they don't want to cover his entry and whatnot, that's understandable.
I can't drive in the EU.
Actually, it's an important consideration, so it's actually good that you included him in your estimate.
Also, I think we need to fire @Lazers for not posting sooner.

yay. I have a working network card again!
I've told Steam to fire me up an email whenever new strings are added to be translated
However, clicking on the provided links gives me the list of all untranslated links from that package
Now we have three thousand untranslated strings from the Steam store proper (all the game description, requirement and other boring stuff nobody wants to take on)
So emails about new strings being added to that file are useless
and Valve is adding strings to this file slowly, one by one.
Generating many useless emails.
Also, best fight music ever, or best fight music ever?
7:49 PM
@GraceNote No / Yes / Yes. He's also gotta see if he can get the time off of work to go for the days we'd want, but that theoretically shouldn't be an issue. flees for real
~Pictures of last night ended up online, I'm screwed... oh well. It's a blacked out blur, but I'm pretty sure it ruled... yeah, last Friday night~
Thanks, @Fallen, have a good eat!
@Wipqozn It's not bad, but not particularly brilliant either for me
@FallenAngelEyes Hmm...I guess it's an issue with the printing process then. :(
@KevinY Has anyone brought this to the attention of the SE folks? I'd imagine they have more shirts in the works for other sites. They'll probably want to know if there's a problem with their supplier.
8:00 PM
@sjohnston Yep, I've emailed Jeff about it.
okey dokey
I should start working on my nomination…
@KevinY You don't... have to. I mean, look who you're going against.
So you're saying my nomination speech should consist solely of:
@KevinY Sure.
8:10 PM
I have a hunch that wouldn't get me many votes.
@KevinY I think the implication was more that I'm going to make the terrible mod.
Oh good, I can replace ARDA with MANA.
Or perhaps "ಠдಠ is going to make a terrible mod".
@Manaಠдಠ That would imply people voting for you.
Look at who've nominated so far and the results from the previous election, it'd be me and Fallen.
8:16 PM
Baghdad Mayhem was fun
Not fun enough to do all 10 waves again
Woo, new Nvidia drivers.
@ArdaXi Really? Damn it, I just checked for new drivers yesterday.
44k points.
I never update drivers till something breaks.
8:19 PM
@Grace From patch notes in Chantelise's update today: The song list in Jukebox Mode is now properly in English.
Also: Mackerels in the Emperor-Bug's Tomb have had a bug fixed and no longer make the fishing minigame unplayable if you fail to catch them on the first pull.
@AnnaLear I have dual nVidia GTX 570 cards now, and given that every driver release tends to fix speeds in games, I tend to update them quite quickly.
Although, strangely, I don't see any performance improvement notes in today's drivers.
@FallenAngelEyes Excellent. How do I get the patch if I didn't buy through Steam?
Ah, I've come to read "performance improvements" as "we broke something". :)
Only fix is for SLI mode in Crysis 2.
and I had to dig through their PDF to find that out.
@GraceNote I'm... not sure. Did you get the Gamersgate version?
8:24 PM
Aye, did
I hope Carpe Fulgur has it on their site, perhaps. That's how most people do that kind of thing.
And if they don't, well, they invented support email addresses for a reason!
@FallenAngelEyes Steam is wonderful. @_@
Even if GameFly is launching a new service soon to compete with it.
@Powerlord You missed, Fallen does use Steam last I checked.
@Powerlord I heard about that, the unlimited PC thing?
And aye, I do
8:26 PM
and by launching, I mean one that allows both GameFly members to get games online as part of their monthly fee, and they also sell them (seeing as how they own Direct2Drive)
Ah, OK, I was wrong about just a Crysis 2 fix.
Oh, incidentally, @Wipqozn
There are other fixes from earlier drivers, but since those were Beta drivers, those changes still apply since I was using the previous stable version.
Wait, n/m, wrong person, thinking of the wrong W

Chewing Gum Consultant

Professional Chewing gum industry meeting point

GUM BASE Co. – Italy 03/05/2013

Filed under: Market & Fairs,New product — Joan Mestres @ 12:12 PM

In ISM I met not only producers of chewing gum, also some suppliers were exhibiting there. Some days ago I talked about Beneo. Today about this italian company specialized in the production of gum base: Gum Base Co.

The company is part of Perfetti SpA and based near Milan, although they have production facilities also in Shanghai-China. Gum Base Co employs about 150 people and was founded back in 1967. I thank Mr Michel Benz for his time and explanations during the fair. The company is now noticing the interest on gum base to produce one of the latest trends in the industry: The gum tab consisting on two layers of chewing gum combined with a central layer of chewy candy. Gum Base Co. offers specific gum bases for this application. Mr Benz also explains that the liquid center filled gum is also in demand (although this has been around for much longer time). This type of gum requires some expertise and a perfect fine tuning of the ingredients and the machinery used in production. He notices a trend towards higher quality products, with higher profile. In the future the trend goes in the direction of healthcare/functional gum.

Gum Base Co also offers since some years PHARMAGUM (a gum in powder form designed for the pharmaceutical industry which can be directly compressible) and WELLGUM which is a specific solution that combines gum in powder form with active ingredients and then compressed into chewing gum (CPG – Compressed Powder Gum)

You can read more about this and other products and details of the company in their website: www.gumbase.com

Yowamushi Pedal: Puchitto Racers Tutorial Video

I’ve finally ventured into the world of video tutorials! I’ve been meaning to try my hand at recording games on my iPhone, and the newly-released free to play smartphone game Yowamushi Pedal: Puchitto Racers seemed like the perfect opportunity. Since I haven’t seen much discussion of the game in English, I thought it would be helpful to do a tutorial on how to play. Watch and learn!

If you want to download the game for iOS, I have a tutorial on how to easily switch your iTunes account to a Japanese one. Unfortunately I’m not very familiar with Android devices, but if you have one and know how to download Japanese games, please share your method in the comments!

I had a lot of fun doing this video but I’d really like some feedback as to whether or not this is something you’d like to see more of. Would you like more how to play videos or highlights of interesting apps available in Japanese? Let me know! Also, if you enjoyed this video, please share it with your friends! It takes hours to record and edit videos like these, so any support will be a major boost to my confidence and help me make more in the future. Thanks everyone!

Also known as apricotsushi. Anne can be written with the kanji for apricot (杏), and sushi was the most quintessentially Japanese thing I could think of when I was 13, resulting in my goofy, albeit memorable, nickname.

Supreme Court Set to Deliver Judgement on Kato Kajubi’s Appeal

A panel of five Supreme Court justices led by Chief Justice Alphonse Owinyi-Dollo will deliver judgment in the matter where businessman Kato Kajubi challenges the life imprisonment sentence granted to him by the then High Court judge Mike Chibita.

Other justices on the panel include Prof Lilian Tibatemwa, Percy Tuhaise, Ezikiel Muhanguzi and Ruby Opio Aweri.

This matter came up for hearing and court consolidated the two appeals which Kajubi had filed before the same court but through two different law firms.

He had filed one appeal through Wameli and Company Advocates and the second appeal was through Nakagga and Company Advocates.

Appearing before court, the Assistant Director of Public Prosecution (ADPP) Simon Peter Kalemba informed court that he had already responded to the first appeal and sought court guidance on how to go about the matter.

However, he has been informed that these are going to be adopted on both appeals before coming up with the final decision.

In 2012, Justice Mike Chibita the current Justice of the Supreme Court, while still at Masaka High Court, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment Kato Kajubi after finding him guilty of hiring Umar Kateregga, a witch doctor and his wife Mariam Nabukeera, to slaughter a 12-year-old Joseph Kasirye for ritual purposes.

Kajubi, being unsatisfied with the court decision, petitioned the Court of Appeal which upheld the decision of the lower court and thus rushed to the Supreme Court.

I am back at work and missing the extravagance of time to read your blog posts and respond in a timely manner to your kind comments on mine. The library is not yet open to the public and I don’t know yet when it will be. (If you didn’t know that’s where I work, at the local library.)  There is just a skeleton crew at work right now and I miss the staff who have yet to return. It’s nice to be able to see regular patrons, if only from the proscribed social distance. We are doing curbside pick up. Patrons order their books, movies, games, etc. online and come to the back door where they have to call in to let us know they are there to pick up their holds. Items are then checked out on their account and put in bags which are then placed on a table outside for them to retrieve. It’s interesting, but also strange being in a library empty of people, except for a few souls. I am grateful though that the director and powers that be are taking a very slow and careful approach to re-opening. There is a lot to consider and several changes are in the works to deal with this new ‘normal’.  Things will never be the same. Still, I am hopeful. I am also a bit nervous. But so far, so good. Life will, no doubt, look very different when all is said and done. Yet, there is much to be grateful for and many blessings to count as we navigate our way through these deep waters. Stay well my friends, and stay safe.

  1. The good part, for me, about working was the thought I was making a small difference. Now that I’m retired I have the time you will be missing but have struggled to “feel” I’m contributing to our world. Don’t forget to wear your life-vest, swim fins and snorkle to stay safe while you are helping others fill their lives with the knowledge and expanded world view that comes from reading.

    1. You are making a huge difference in the lives of so many people. Maybe they don’t comment, but you’re putting it out there and doing more good than you know. I am so grateful for your posts. I think we put too much emphasis on paid work.

      Yes, I am wearing all the ppe and keeping a social distance from coworkers. We are safe. Thanks for your concern. (I left my snorkle wear at home though haha.)

 Човешката библиотека » Introductory notes

Introductory notes

by Kalin M. Nenov

These explanatory notes emerged organically during the test reading stage of our preparation; hence, I don’t feel they deserve to be called an introduction proper. They are not exhaustive either. If you have any questions not addressed here, please have a look at the webpage of ФантАstika, which offers a growing resource hub (including a conversation about the Yarkovsky effect and the overall scientific rationale behind “How I Saved the World”). Or you can simply ask us at poslednorog-АТ-gmail-DOT-com—we look forward to your feedback.

Representation: female authors

A few of our test readers noted the shortage of women writers in the almanac—especially in the Science Fiction section, where they are represented only by Elena Pavlova.

I can discern at least one major reason for this: It reflects the ratio of female to male Bulgarian science fiction writers as a whole—at least in the past (nowadays, it is gradually changing). Actually (and much to my own shock), our only established female writer of hard science fiction is Elena Pavlova. I have discussed the issue with the other editors of ФантАstika, but we cannot come up with a conclusive explanation—especially given that ever since the start of the totalitarian era (the 1940s), Bulgarian women have had the same access to higher education and jobs in science, engineering or medicine as Bulgarian men. For instance, both my parents are civil engineers. Equal opportunity, at least nominally, has been part of Bulgarian culture for a long time.

With fantasy (which is a much more recent addition to our national medley of speculative fiction), the situation is generally well balanced. ФантАstika reflects that.

(There are certainly other aspects of representation worth exploring. One is that ФантАstika provides a platform to an underrepresented language minority. Bulgarian is spoken by less than ten million people around the globe, and that number is decreasing. A segment of world culture and heritage is disappearing before our eyes. It is our hope that publications like our almanac can help reverse the trend.)

Multiple entries by the same author

Simon McLeish, a test reader of ours, commented,

“In a multi-author compilation, it is unusual to feature authors multiple times. This is done repeatedly here (…) [and] it makes it seem as though there are not enough good science fiction and fantasy writers to fill the anthology with unique contributions; I hope this is not the case, and that there are plenty of other writers who could have been included.”

There are a couple of considerations involved:

1. Our choice of short stories was limited to: 1) available translations; 2) which have already been published in professional magazines or anthologies (and have therefore passed an external litmus test); 3) and fit in (more or less) with the general values of the Human Library.

With these restrictions, it was in fact a miracle we managed to collect that many authors.

On the unpublished side, we currently work with some thirty other writers, whose fiction we are actively submitting to various venues. They are our raw material for the next anthology. There will be a next anthology, right, everyone?

2. Even when we have included a particular author more than once, we’ve tried to give everyone a roughly equal weight; e.g. Angelina Ilieva (Johan Vladimir) has a single story, but it is quite long: a novelette approaching a novella; whereas Valentin D. Ivanov has three, but collectively they are shorter than Ilieva’s entry.

The purpose of translating speculative fiction from across the globe—or reading it

I’d like to conclude these notes with a quotation that perfectly summarizes the most important purpose of our undertaking. Gerhard Hope, another of our test readers, wrote:

“I honestly think it is the responsibility of every SF and fantasy fan who cares about the sustainability of these genres to read as widely as possible (…). This is how the values, hopes and dreams of these genres are upheld and passed along, and how we readers and fans can play our small role in making the world more tolerant and vibrant for everyone.”

With that, I leave the stories themselves to work their magic (or/and science) on you.

Unpermitted Construction

Work that was done without obtaining required permits is in violation of the State Building Code, and is considered illegally constructed work.

What type of projects do not require a building permit

Quick Facts about Illegal/Unpermitted Construction

  • There are no statutes of limitation on illegal construction.
  • If any work was done illegally in the past, the passage of time or change in ownership does not make the non-permitted work legal.
  • Unpermitted work is often not covered by the building's insurance, which may make the current owner personally liable for any damage repairs to or caused by the unpermitted work.
  • To legalize work that was built without a permit, work must comply with current codes, including the building, zoning, and energy codes.

Legalizing unpermitted work

To legalize work that was built without permits, the owner must comply with one of the following procedures:

For information regarding legalizing work when the work to be inspected is not-visible due to being covered by finishes (such as sheetrocked addition), the owner must contact the Building Division for procedures on how to schedule an on-site inspection and receive information on what steps are needed to legalize it, or if it is even possible. It may then be decided by the owner that it is easier and more cost-effective to just abate (remove) the unpermitted work.

Easily visible

Where the work to be inspected is still open and readily visible, such as re-roofs, gazebos, decks, water heater replacements & furnace replacements, a permit may be obtained from the Building Division to legalize said work, just as if it was new.

Question: What Are A Buyer’S Remedies When A Seller Breaches A Sales Contract?

What are examples of breach of contract?

A breach of contract is when one party breaks the terms of an agreement between two or more parties.

This includes when an obligation that is stated in the contract is not completed on time—you are late with a rent payment, or when it is not fulfilled at all—a tenant vacates their apartment owing six-months’ back rent..

What is the aim of a payment of damages for a breach of contract?

The normal function of damages for breach of contract is the same as that in tort, namely, compensatory.

What happens if a buyer fails to complete?

The standard conditions provide that if the buyer fails to complete after a notice to complete has been served, the seller may rescind the contract, and, if the seller does so, it may forfeit and keep the deposit and accrued interest.

What happens after the purchase and sale is signed?

Once the purchase agreement is signed and the earnest money is deposited, the buyer has the legal right to purchase the property should all agreed upon conditions be satisfied.

How remortgaging works

Finding a new mortgage lender

Big changes in your life, planned or unexpected, could mean that your current mortgage no longer suits your needs. Remortgaging means moving your mortgage to a new lender while staying in the same property.

Whether you’re starting a family, expecting a significant change to your income or just want to save money, remortgaging gives you a chance to find a deal that’s a better fit for you now and in the future.

Our guide can help you decide if it’s right for you.

Is it time to remortgage?

Has your property increased in value since you bought it? Or perhaps you’ve made overpayments to your mortgage balance which may have changed your loan-to-value (LTV) ratio?

Both of these mean you could have access to a wider range of deals, so it’s definitely worth checking the latest offers if your current mortgage deal is about to end, or has already moved to a follow-on rate.

Remortgaging can also help you raise money for home improvements or a special purchase. It’s important that you think carefully about whether you can afford the higher payments over the full mortgage term though. If you’re planning to consolidate other debts, don’t forget that independent financial advice is available. The rules around how much you can borrow may be slightly different if the money being raised is to repay other debts. Your home could be at risk if you can’t make the payments.

Get ready to remortgage

The remortgaging process typically takes four to eight weeks after you apply. For most applications, you’ll need to speak to one of our mortgage advisers. They’re qualified to advise you on the best deal for your needs and are experts on your local area. Before you get to this stage, think about the following five questions to help you get a clear idea of your situation and needs before applying.

1. What will it cost to leave your current mortgage?

Some mortgages charge you when you leave under certain circumstances, with an exit fee or early repayment charge for example. This could be thousands of pounds if your current mortgage deal hasn’t ended, so check the documents from your current lender or contact them for details.

2. What do you want from a new mortgage?

Do you want to lower your monthly payments or fix your rate so your payments won’t change for a set period? Think about what you need now and how your needs might change in the future.

3. Is your credit score in good shape?

When you apply to move your mortgage, we check your credit score with credit reference agencies. Before you apply, you can check your credit score and make sure all the details in it are correct by using a credit reference agency.

4. How much can you borrow?

To find out how much you could borrow and what your monthly payments may be, make an appointment with one of our industry qualified mortgage advisers.

5. Which remortgage deals are available?

Once you know what you want and how much you can borrow, you can start comparing our mortgage deals.

How the remortgage process works

Make an appointment to see a mortgage adviser

Our mortgage advisers can let you know how much we can lend you, without a full credit check. You won’t need to choose a specific remortgage product at that time and it’s not a guarantee you’ll be approved for a remortgage – but it will help you understand your options.

Consider all the costs

To make sure remortgaging is the right decision for you, check whether any of the following charges will apply:

  • Application fee – a charge to set up your new mortgage. Also referred to as an arrangement, product or booking fee.
  • Valuation fee – to confirm the value of your property.
  • Legal fees – a solicitor will need to manage the transfer of your mortgage. There may be other costs too, such as bond and document charges, depending on the island you live on.

As part of the process, our mortgage advisers will advise you on whether you’d need to pay an exit fee or early repayment fee to remortgage again in the future.

Apply for your new mortgage

Once we’ve assessed your situation, you can apply for your remortgage. You’ll need to give information on your personal and financial circumstances and current mortgage. Make sure you have documents to prove what you earn for any loans or other credit commitments.

Completing your remortgage

The final steps of a remortgage are pretty much the same as a buying a new property. We will assess your application, carry out a credit check to confirm your current circumstances and arrange for your property to be valued. You’ll need a solicitor or conveyancer to handle your mortgage transfer.

Writing Down Deep; an Alchemy of the Writing Life (Hardback)

£ 21.99 each

Add to cart

Out now

Writing Down Deep; an Alchemy of the Writing Life, has been a huge labour of love over the last three years.

Many of the ideas have been trialed in blog articles and in online courses, and have been honed and rewritten for the book. There's also a huge amount of new material, reflections and writing prompts to help you become the writer you want to be with your own story and values.

Writing Down Deep; an Alchemy of the Writing Life is a book for writers who want to dive deeply into their creative flow and into the extraordinary power of writing to affect individuals and the world. Whether you are a blogger writing articles, a memoirist, poet or novelist, writing is magical, it offers perspective shifts, leaps of imagination and connections that are vital to how we live at every level. The world is storied and those who tell stories of every kind, have a unique role and responsibility. The premise is that story (including poetry, fiction and nonfiction) is vital to human survival. It is so important that storytellers do well to become congruent with their tales.

This book is for the wild idealists and alchemists of the imagination who believe that writing is so powerful that it should change us as we push the boundaries of our craft. This book is for those who see writing as an act of radical spirituality, in the broadest sense of 'spiritual' as the antonym of egotistical hubris, rather than as the opposite of 'material'.

The book is a companion on the quest and, as such, you can read it straight through or slowly; make the rhythm suit you. It has five main sections that are interspersed around shorter, seasonal sections.

  1. Section 1, 'Craving the Writing Life', is an introduction to our motivation as writers and the power of story.
  2. Section 2, 'The Mind-set of the Writer', explores how we build on this to establish an evolving practice of writing, from how we keep in touch with the subconscious writer to how we keep on writing and improving.
  3. This leads into Section 3, 'The Evolution of Your Writing Process', in which we'll examine more of the mechanics of writing and deepening our writing lives.
  4. Section 4, 'Embodying the Writing Life', takes all of this and anchors it in the physical world and in your own embodiment of your writing.
  5. Section 5, 'Writing the Soul', looks at how creativity, imagination, wonder and personal mythology transform both the work we do and the people we become as writers, body and soul.
  6. Section 6, 'Writing Your Story', brings the themes of the book together: what story do you want to write? What story do you want to become?

The book is packed with prompts, inspiration and writing exercises. These are not mechanical or 'how to' exercises but aimed at challenging us to dig deeply into our writing processes and writing lives. Woven throughout are seasonal pauses to help you design your own writing retreats.

You can read a blog about the genesis of the new imprint and the book.

BACKGROUND Despite their considerable interest for public health policies and for occupational disease management and assessment, the economic costs of asbestos-related diseases (ARDs) for society have not been fully estimated or even frequently discussed. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to estimate the economic burden of mesothelioma in Italy by assessing the overall societal cost of the disease, applying an econometric model. METHODS We analyzed two main cost groups, public and social. The first includes expenditure borne by the State and other public bodies (medical care costs, insurance, tax and benefits), while the latter uses the human capital approach to measure the loss of productivity suffered by the economy as a whole. RESULTS We provide an estimate of euro 33,000 per patient for medical care costs and euro 25,000 for insurance and compensation; tax and benefits seem to roughly compensate. We estimated a loss of more than euro 200,000 per patient, in terms of loss of production. CONCLUSIONS This study offers a practical approach for estimating the economic impact of mesothelioma, and provides empirical evidence of the huge economic burden linked to this disease, with its high etiologic fraction.

Fishing in Ireland, salmon fishing

An evening on Beltra

I will leave the photos to tell the tale of an evening spent on Lough Beltra in the company of Ben and Pat. The fish did not cooperate but it was great just to be afloat on a pleasant Spring evening.

2018-05-02 20.09.04

End of the day and we head back to the shore

We all want to catch fish when we head out to the lough or river but blanks are a part of our sport and we need to accept them as the opportunity to enjoy our surroundings.

Beltra this evening

Tried Lough Beltra for a few hours this evening but with no success. The wind was good for drifting the Coop shore but the fish were unresponsive. Bright conditions gave way to some high cloud as the sun set but the outstanding feature of the evening was the cold. Still no sign of Spring in this part of the West of Ireland. At least I managed to take a few snaps.

The only action was a small fish of around a couple of pounds slashing at the bob fly as we drifted along the shore of Walsh’s Bay. It looked like a sea trout kelt to me (certainly too small to be a spring salmon).

So, no fish but a great evening to be out and about on the lough. The winds are due to slacken off as the week goes on so Beltra will be out of order but Carrowmore should pick up. I could be in Bangor next week!

All hands on deck

At the end of each season the boats have to be taken out of the lake and safely stored for the winter. Today was the day for this task on the Glenisland Coop side of Lough Beltra. Yesterdays heavy rain had passed and the evening was cool and bright as the club members gathered on the shore.

All the boats were partially filled with water and the first task was to bale each of them out. As each boat was emptied it was rowed around to the beach were it could be dragged out by a combination of willing hands and Phil’s 4×4.

Glenisland boats sport 4 ‘removable’ thole pins but these can be the very devil to extract after spending the season in-situ. Vice grips and muscle power removed them all but some required a degree of persuasion.

A boat lift is all about team work and we all ‘mucked in’ to drag the boats out in good time. Using the 4×4 to drag the boats the few yards up from the beach was a great help. Phil was a bit heavy with the right foot and he set off like he was starting the Paris to Dakar rally each time, but sure that’s young lads and fast cars for you! (Below, here is Phil giving his grand-daughter a spin in a boat)

We worked on for an hour or more as the sun sank towards the western horizon and the hills of Mayo turned deep, solemn indigo. We spaced the boats carefully so we can get at them for sanding and varnishing later on. Some went in the boat house while the remained were overturned and raised on old tyres outside.

By the time we had nestled the final boat on some worn out Goodyear’s it was getting dark and the lads began to drift off home. I clicked the shutter a few more times to catch some photos and said my farewells to the others. There is a sadness at this time of year when the boats and gear are stowed away. The nip in the air, shortening days and partings on the lake shore signal the beginning of another close season. As much as missing the fishing we all miss the camaraderie, the messing and the craik.

And so we left lovely Lough Beltra for another year. Those of us spared to see next March will be back to tackle up at the boathouse, filled with anticipation and no doubt braving cold winds/high water/scarce springers. I can’t wait!

Fishing in Ireland

Moving a boat on Beltra

Mid September and recent heavy rain has pushed water levels up. Small numbers of fish are running but Lough Beltra is pretty much finished for another season so I decided to take advantage of a quiet day to take a boat off the lake. All too often this task is attempted in high winds and driving rain making the whole exercise unpleasant and hard work, so a day like yesterday made a welcome change and I could enjoy just being out in the early Autumn countryside.

I borrowed a van and trailer and headed for the lake around 10am in glorious sunshine. I used to live very near to the lake so I know the people in the houses as I drove along the quiet road past the fields of cattle and sheep. I mulled over that strange sense of belonging yet being apart which every ‘blow in’ feels here in the West. Out the Newport Road and those never-ending roadworks which have kept Mick O’Malley’s lads so busy all summer and along the new stretch at the back of Cornanool before taking the Bangor road off to the right. The first views of Nephin and those deceptive bends at the Glenisland National School. Through the still green trees with the river on the right, now thankfully back down to a normal level. The land was very wet but still retained that vibrancy of well tended farmland. Then along the edge of the lake and the temptation to look at the water instead of the road! I swung the wheel hard left and drove into the harbour carpark.

Boats are an integral part of our fishing here. Back in Scotland everyone hired a boat for a day’s fishing but in the West of Ireland you don’t get off as lightly as that. Maintaining, baling, lifting, storing, varnishing, sanding, checking and moving boats takes a bit of effort and you either accept and enjoy the experience of owning a small fishing boat or the time spent on them will feel wasted. I admit to enjoying the whole boat owning experience and so days like yesterday were a joy for me.

The recent rains had left some boats full of water. The modern fibreglass hulls never really sink due to the buoyancy tanks fitted to them. They fill up to the top but with a bit of baling they can soon be re-floated. The boat I was moving was half full and took about 20 minutes to bale out with the aid of a big bucket. Some fellas fit pumps to their boats but the bucket meets all my water removal requirements and the little bit of exercise does no harm.

Taking the boat around to the small beach where I could load it on the trailer I stopped for a breather to take in the scenery. Glenisland is a beautiful place and on a day like yesterday with the sun on the hills it was picture-postcard Ireland.

 Now came the job of loading the boat on to the trailer. In a big wind this can be tricky but the flat calm meant aligning the boat and winding her up on to the trailer was pretty straight forward. Lights clamped to the back, run the cable to the connection on the tow bar then pull the belly band across to secure her in place – it all went like clockwork.

I double checked everything and then set off back home bathed in early autumn sunshine. It has been a poor season but hopefully enough spawning stock has evaded the nets, sea lice, seals and all the other perils which salmon and sea trout face to regenerate the rivers which feed Beltra. I will be back here again soon to help out with the Glenisland club boat lift when we take all the club boats out of the lake for the winter and stow them safely inside. Only when that day is over will it feel like the end of the season for another year.

Beltra seeing an increase in sport

The high water earlier this week has allowed a run of both salmon and sea trout to come up the Newport River and into Lough Beltra. I have not been out yet but you can follow reports on the Genisland Coop FB page:

Beltra sunset

At this time of year smaller flies will work better, so salmon patterns tied on size 8 or 10 trout hooks will do the business for you.

Photos of Beltra

Not a post really, just some photos I took when fishing Lough Beltra yesterday. It was the annual Glenisland Co-op competition and although we did not meet any fish it was a great day out for all.

The new harbour beside the Boathouse is a great facility. The committee has worked tirelessly to improve the whole fishery

I guess this sums up the Glenisland Co-op,  a well run club with it’s root in the local community. Every day on Lough Beltra is an unforgettable experience.

Aaron Zigman: Main Title from The Notebook

Aaron Zigman composed the soundtrack for the 2004 romantic drama The Notebook. The film was directed by Nick Cassavetes and writing by Jeremy Leven. The film stars young lovers Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams whose story is told during the present day from a notebook read by an elderly man.

The film won eight Teen Choice Awards, an MTV Movie Award and a Satellite Award. Although receiving mixed reviews, The Notebook has gained a cult following and is one of the most loved of its genre.

The Music

The delicate score by Zigman is evident through the main title of the theme. Scored for a solo piano, Zigman utilises silences and poignant movements from the pianist. The atmosphere is nostalgic and the gentle flow of the accompanying hand supports the more ambiguous melody hand. The slow movement adds to the ideas of love and romance, with each note oozing meaning and presence within the bigger picture.

The theme is played with some scenes of the start of the film with a man rowing a boat over a huge river to meet with a lady who watches him from afar. There are birds flying, still water and lots of trees as the man rows his boat. Nostalgia is a big theme throughout this film, and the atmosphere of this main title is no different. The notion of memories and remembering those who you love runs through to the beating heart of this piece. A quick reprise of the theme sees the main title close delicately, if with a tinge of sadness.

Final Thoughts

The Main Title to The Notebook is a gentle journey through nostalgia, love and remembering those we love. The subtle variations in the melody and Zigman’s use of silence line the piece up to be tinged with a sense of sadness. This work sets the audience up with what we can perhaps discover in the film.

I Love You! Loss Of A Parent.

Next week will be five years that my dad passed away. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago. Every year goes by quicker and we get busier, but we cannot forget those who have passed.

My dad was a smoker and had other underlying health problems, but the smoking was a big factor. It’s not easy losing a parent but it is part of life. I sure do miss him. I don’t cry as much, but there are days the tears roll down. Looking back on pictures and remembering the memories are sometimes hard, but it does get easier. I cry less and smile more.

For you Dad!

He was a strict dad because of his upbringing, and the words “yes sir” and “yes ma’am” were always expected of me and my siblings. We could not leave the dinner table without asking, “may I be excused?” He wanted respect, and as parents that is how it should be. I see less and less of that nowadays. Of course, some of these things went by the wayside as we got older. But he instilled in us the respect that was needed.

My dad was very hard of hearing and he wore hearing aids. But it’s really funny because he would still yell when speaking. I would raise my voice for him to hear and then he would say, “why ya yelling?” He became funnier as he got older and that is what I miss the most. I usually host Thanksgiving and every year I email everyone the menu. I always ask if anyone would like to bring anything, and my dad, being funny would always respond back and say that he didn’t like the menu and changes would be needed. I miss that!

I don’t recall saying I love you when I was younger. I’m sure I did say it, but not as much as I say it now. I say it every day to my family and after a conversation on the phone. As I got older I would say it to my dad. He knew I loved him and I knew he loved me. The hardest part for me was when I saw him for the last time in the hospital. He was on oxygen, and the medication was keeping him somewhat alert. I looked into his eyes and said, “Dad, I love you” and a tear rolled down his face and he said “I love you too.” Those were the last words we spoke.

Losing someone is always difficult, but losing a parent is hard. So many things have happened in the last five years that I wish he could have seen. He was and would be even more proud of my daughters. Death is a part of life and we live in a world that is broken and full of sin. Even though I miss him so, I know that God has a plan for all and the Bible helps me through it all.

In the end and in the remembering, always remember to say I Love You! Life is short and the loss of a loved one is hard and those three little words mean so much. Say it when leaving the house and ending a conversation. Oh, and by the way, those words are meant for everyone. Share those words with others, family or not.

Stay safe, stay healthy and God Bless

  1. You’re so right losing a loved one is never easy. There’s no manual yet that fully covers and prepares us for this important aspect of the human life cycle.

    Thank God for the pleasant memories that you have of your dad. They the gifts we’ve got that nothing or anyone could ever take away from us.
    I’m sorry for your loss. Be comforted.

  2. Sorry to hear about your loss. I can imagine it does not get any easier as the years go. I respect you for being strong, and excellent advice on expressing our love for our parents, and for everyone else that holds a place in our hearts.

Sale and rent back proposals hailed

Proposals for the Financial Services Authority to regulate the sale and rent back (SRB) sector have been welcomed.

The measures are designed to protect people who enter into agreements to sell their home and live in them as tenants, possibly to help them with debt management.

Homeowners Advice Centre spokesperson Al Elliott said that the plans could improve the credibility of the industry and tackle irresponsible landlords.

It will “hopefully reduce the marketplace down from the hundreds of part-time landlords operating as SRB companies to a handful of well-regulated, responsible providers”, he remarked.

His comments came following the publication of an Office of Fair Trading study, which found that some homeowners enter into SRB schemes when it is not the best option for them.

The report claimed that people can be misled by SRB firms over the security they have as tenants, as well as the value of their homes.

Car transport

Often we  wish to ship an auto. For example, when you order a brand new an auto or import it from abroad like France, Germany or Sweden and so on and so forth, Final cost of shipping depends on various factors: maintenance, weigth, size of the vehicle, length of the journey and transport solution. One of the money-saving solutions to transport a car is to create a listing on - quickly you will receive offers from transport companies specialising in vehicle shipping. Before you select which transport provider you like the most ensure the transport provider has his car  insured and check if he offers parcel insurance also,in case of car accident, delivery delay or defect. What are the solutions for an auto moving? For a car shipping you can use car carriers/car carrier trucks. you could have already seen open carriers which are cheaper, but less safe and are able to carry many vehicles at the same time. Enclosed carriers take only up to 5 vehicles and secure them in extreme weather conditions. Other than that, you can also have your auto towed or carry it on a trailer. It is crucial to strap down the car properly, so it does not move during transport. Four wheels should be strap down with belts. It is crucial to keep in mind that weight of the car shoud not exceed the actual mass of the carrier. You could move an auto yourself only if you have a proper driving licence for this job and a vehicle you would like to carry does not exceed 3,5 t. When hiring a transport company to transport a car within the EU, in most cases you will create and sign a consignment note. transporting a car with autotransporters in the UK costs around 1 pounds per kilometer. On longer routes, above 300 GBP per kilometer. Shipping a car with autotransporters/car carrier trucks abroad costs around 0,2-0,5 £ per kilometer, depending on the country.

There aren’t many bands like The Menzingers, the Philly powerhouses blessed the Shepherd’s Bush Empire with the finest collection of folk punk anthems you’re going to here this year, or any for that matter.

Armed with a rocking setlist pulling predominantly from their last three faultless records, there wasn’t a moment spared for a piss-break. 2017’s ‘After The Party’ was the star of the show, with a great chunk of that record taking up the evening. Rightly so, those tracks sound even better live when every person crammed in the venue is belting them from the bottom of their diaphragm along with you.

Check a highlight of the show here:

From the barnstorming opener ‘Tellin’ Lies’ to the gut-wrenching, anthemic heights of ‘After The Party’s’ title track (I have never sung along louder to a live performance) the vitality and sincerity of those songs resonated in a way hard to put into words. You believe the sentiment of songs like ‘House on Fire’ and you feel the line “waiting for your life to start when you die” resonate with the other 2,000 people sharing the experience with you. It’s amazing to be part of a crown that give back as much as the band are putting out, whether that be through song, mosh or crowd-surfing.

Other notable standouts (from a setlist of standouts) included the always-huge rager, ‘I Don’t Wanna Be An Asshole Anymore’ and equally gargantuan setlist staple ‘The Obituaries’ – no singalong feels better than “I will fuck this up, I fucking know it”, period.

What was most astounding was the sense on communal spirit, which extended to Canadian punkers Pup’s riotous support set. The Menzingers set was a collection of disarmingly honest songs; soaring inescapable melodies; no-frills, unencumbered punk delivery; simply one of the best bands making rock music today firing on all cylinders.
