Be Free

You have been wandering around in this hill country long enough; turn to the north. Deuteronomy 2:3 (NLT )

It is time to break free! It is time to move forward.  In order to be free you must let go of what you no longer need.  Stop waiting to exhale. Exhale and forgiveness come from the same Greek word, meaning to get it out of you.  Many of us nurse our past instead of embracing the place that the Lord has brought us to; this keeps us in that place of bondage. We have to break the ties with our past even in our memory.  We have to embrace the responsibility of doing the hard work and changing the way we think. The Lord says remember not the former things, I am going to do a new thing.  HE is doing that new thing. The enemies of our past and the enemy in “me” we will not see any more, if we allow the purging to take place.  We have to learn how to accept and recognize what is normal.

 We have to develop an attitude for what is right. For too long, we had the wrong attitudes and mindsets and it has dominated us. Stop struggling with your past and live in your future. Stop trying to solve the problems of yesterday and walk out the solutions that are right before you. Grab a hold to the person you are becoming and learn to live there.  Don’t sabotage what the Lord has for you.  Accept the responsibility to change, in order to fit the person you are becoming.  Embrace the Word of God.   Through our relationship with the Word of God, we are able to be cleansed and receive instructions for our daily living.

 My prayer is that we become men and women after God’s heart like David. Inquire of the Lord before making new steps. Seek His will and His direction. Ask Him to purge you and to create within you a clean heart and renew within you the right spirit. Only He knows what is best for you and what will bring you to your place of total freedom.  It is time to cross this Jordan and begin to move into the place of freedom that the Lord has. Be free today, His power, His grace is available to you.

Father, thank you so much for the freedom you have made available to us; each day, I pray we will come closer and closer to walking in that liberty.  I pray that you will teach us how to make the most of every opportunity. I pray that we will be obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit daily and begin to walk out your will for our lives. In Jesus name Amen.

(C) Mary Pinckney, August 2013 excerpt from Be Attitudes: A Devotional Journey to a Healthier and Happier You

Decimated US Fisheries Bouce Back

A new study states that nearly 2/3 of closely monitored fish species in the US have overcome overfishing due to effective management strategies. The study points to management over the last 10 to 15 years as the key to success. The study conducted by NOAA found that 28 of  44 listed species had  adequately  recovered to be considered sustainable. The study also found that 16 species have made very little progress. Scientists feel that this is due to continued overfishing in certain areas, as well as natural variation among reproductive rates in certain species.

Of the species that still struggle to recover, the Atlantic cod has proven to be one of the most difficult to revive. Vast over fishing that decimated the population many decades ago has decreased, but the species has struggled to rebound, forcing even more cuts to the already limited quota. Though the situation seems dire for the fisherman, continued strict management has the goal of restoring this fishery to its former glory.

Deadpool – Empire Magazine cover feature

I did a lot of work for Empire on Deadpool. I travelled to Vancouver to the set and wrote the cover feature for the magazine, and I also produced a history of the character and a “trailer breakdown” interview with Tim Miller for the website.

Click here for a PDF of the magazine feature.

This is the character guide:

This is the trailer breakdown:

Later, I went back through all my interviews and put together this ‘oral history’ for the website. Heh, oral.

And then there was another thing about potential villains for Deadpool 2:

Ryan Reynolds also filmed an infomercial:

Here’s a closer look at the cover:

Is Cheese Making a Cottage Craft?

I’m often asked, “why make cheese when you can buy it in the store?”. The effort put into making cheese doesn’t seem to weigh up, after all, only a small amount of cheese (around 20% or less) can be obtained from a large amount of milk.  In commercial enterprises, the methods and machinery has been synchronised and perfected to the high degree, to ensure that the maximum yield comes from the ingredients and the balance of flavour to please their market. So why bother doing this at home?

Firstly, cheese making from scratch is pretty easy, especially when made on a micro scale. I would not suggest making EVERYTHING from scratch, but for a fairly small effort, you can make something to be proud of, and without really cooking anything – at best, you could say we heat milk and stir in  a few key ingredients.

And to me it’s not about speed or efficiency.  The purpose is to enliven the home, with stirring and waiting and watching while the magic happens. Yes it does take some care and a few bits of “know how” but none of it is too challenging. It is about continuing a grand tradition, and you could claim to be a cottage workshop creating a warm feeling of homeliness.

I recently introduced this craft to a small group of ladies in their home.  They took up the challenge of cheese making and came away with some lovely cheese and enthusiasm for doing more in the future.

Should Department Stores Follow Saks’ Lead and Spin Off Their Digital Businesses?

As a protracted global health crisis rages on, unemployment stays unrelentingly high and consumer spending remains sporadic (at best), if ever there were a time for retailers to throw spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks, this might be it.

For department stores, in particular, the years that preceded the coronavirus pandemic were already marred by challenges stemming from digital disruption and a growing shift among consumers toward experiential buys. Now, as retail juggernauts like Hudson’s Bay Co. (parent to Saks Fifth Avenue and its namesake banner) chart the path forward, they’re reportedly mulling some unique strategies to make their businesses more viable.

Last week, a report by WWD indicated that HBC has been meeting with investors to spin off its Saks.com business — which is supposedly seeing greater success as the pandemic keeps people inside and away from physical stores — into a public company “sometime in the future.”

The transaction — which would reportedly precipitate a Saks.com IPO in the next 12 months — would create a freestanding Saks Fifth Avenue brick-and-mortar chain of stores and a freestanding Saks.com company.

Saks Fifth Avenue declined to comment for this story, and with the absence of the true puts and takes of the potential move, it’s difficult to forecast with certainty whether such a transaction could create a new blueprint for struggling department stores seeking to leverage the strength of their digital channels.

The WWD report indicates that the Saks transaction would involve an exclusive agreement that would help both entities “mimic an omnichannel world.” Nevertheless, a deal that splits the two main channels of a retailer into separate companies seems to, on its face, run counter to the “omnichannel” approach most retailers have been aiming for in recent years.

For much of retail, though, digital has proven to be a saving grace since the pandemic took hold in the U.S., as government mandates and personal apprehensions sent shoppers online in droves. (Nordstrom, for example, said in November that the pandemic turned it into a “majority-digital” business.)

For companies feeling pressure to prove value to their shareholders amid precarious times, spinning off a more-successful counterpart to underscore its strength may make sense.

“I think this is really about driving shareholder value, and I suspect that the economics of [Saks’] online business are different and much more positive than that of a brick-and-mortar storefront,” explained Kim DeCarlis, member of Forbes’ business councils and CMO of PerimeterX, a provider of application security programs. “I suspect that is what’s driving [a potential decision to separate the businesses] — that you’re going to get better economics for your online business than for your brick-and mortar-business.”

Before HBC went private last year, its final earnings report as a public company showed Saks’ third-quarter sales at $CAD799 million, or $629 million at current exchange, with revenues at Saks Off Fifth at $CAD327 million (or $258 million). The company at the time had 42 mainline stores and 115 Saks Off Fifth locations.

Jason Junge, CEO of PointerTop, a platform that converts websites into sales channels, said that he understands why some traditional retailers may yield to shareholder pressures to spin off their dot-com businesses since the channel tends to have “slightly” better margins. However, Junge added, overall, separating physical retail businesses from their digital counterparts could create more problems than it solves.

“It doesn’t make sense to me to do this because one of the key differentiators for retail is customer service,” he explained. “If you separate out your brick-and-mortar from your online completely, then you’re basically creating two different corporations, two different cultures, and eventually two different types of customer service.

That scenario, said Junge, is a recipe for customer confusion and eventually even a degradation of brand value — even if, internally, it may help to clean up some business processes.

It loses sight of the customer when you separate out businesses because of processes rather than what your end deliverable is or what your value is to the customer,” he added.

Nevertheless, as the pandemic rages on — and the vaccine rollout proves to be uneven thus far— DeCarlis said it’s probably wise for retailers to consider a full range of viable options when it comes to fortifying their businesses. (For instance, just today a report indicated that Bloomingdale’s is dabbling in smaller concept stores in a bid to forge ahead with expansion while sidestepping some of the risks associated with full-line department stores.)

“Right now, as we drive to continue on amidst the ongoing pandemic, looking at some of these strategies make sense” DeCarlis explained. “Ultimately, we’re going to return at some point to blended models [with a mix of digital and physical]. And businesses that can traverse that whole online and physical world are going to be the ones that win.”

She added, “Even as some businesses look to separate brick-and-mortar and digital, some sort of handshake and partnership is still going to be required between both [entities].”

In short, both Junge and DeCarlis indicated that the separation of digital and physical channels might only be successful if the customer doesn’t know it happened.

Keys to Preventing Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC)

Posted: September 5, 2017 | Written By: Anitra Blachan, M.S. - Form-A-Feed Nutrition and Production Specialist

pigs in pen

In today’s commercial production facilities, biosecurity is essential for the improvement, maintenance and productivity of our farm animals. Disease outbreaks can have a tremendous negative impact by increasing mortality, increasing production costs, reducing productivity, and decreasing average daily gain which in turn affects the producers’ bottom line. One of the biggest contributors negatively affecting profitability is respiratory disease.

According to the USDA/APHIS National Animal Health Monitoring System, respiratory disease is the leading cause of mortality in nursery and grower-finisher units. This is supported by the findings that only 2% of nursery pigs did not have respiratory disease in the last 12 months and 63% of pigs are being treated with antibiotics due to respiratory disease.  An astounding 64% of antibiotics used are solely for respiratory disease treatment. One of the biggest respiratory challenges that producers are faced with is Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex (PRDC).

What is PRDC?

Respiratory disease in pigs is rarely caused by one pathogen. Rather, during a respiratory challenge, a dangerous combination of primary and opportunistic infectious agents are affecting the pig simultaneously. In addition, adverse environmental and management conditions play a critical role in PRDC.

Common primary viral contributors to PRDC are swine influenza and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS).  Pigs that are infected with these viruses then succumb to secondary infections (pneumonia and Glässers disease) making the respiratory challenge more severe.

High stress environments caused by overcrowding, inappropriate ventilation, and wide temperature fluctuations produce an additive negative effect on swine making them more susceptible to those agents involved in PRDC.

Severity and symptoms of PRDC can vary depending on the types and numbers of pathogens causing illness along with the age of animal.  Common symptoms include nasal or eye discharge, coughing, labored breathing, fever, anorexia and lethargy.

Prevention and Treatment

Since PRDC is caused by a variety of factors, treatment and prevention is multi-factorial and will vary depending on the case.

Key Factors in Prevention:

  • Implement and follow a strict biosecurity policy.
  • Ensure a well-designed and operating ventilation system.
  • Avoid mixing and moving of pigs unless it is necessary.
  • Monitor temperature and avoid large fluctuations.
  • Ensure optimal stocking density.
  • Have an appropriate vaccination program in place reviewed by your veterinarian.

Antibiotics are a viable treatment for the bacterial component of PRDC, but there are limited options to treat the viral components.  An appropriate vaccination program based upon each unit’s specific risks can be utilized to prevent these viral pathogens.

When treating pigs with PRDC, early intervention is the key to minimizing financial loss.  Form-A-Feed has a new economical and effective tool to treat the symptoms of respiratory disease challenges called Respire.  Respire is a water-dispersible blend of essential oils specifically designed to alleviate the symptoms of respiratory disease, especially in cases which cannot be treated with antibiotics. While Respire will not treat the disease directly, it aids in the recovery process through immune system stimulation and via its mucolytic and expectorant properties. This leads to improved feed and water intake, a shortened recovery period, and a rapid return to optimal performance.

Contact your Form-A-Feed representative for more information on Respire and how it can best be applied to your unique production system.

5.2V okay?

Quite possibly a silly question but I like to make sure that I'm correct :)

I saw the LiPo power source and planned to use this to power interior lights in one of my passenger trains, then thought "what if it had a charger built in" - then found the Adafruit PowerBoost 500 which looks perfect (once a DIY cable is soldered in). It provides 5.2V on the output however, so I just want to make sure that Brickstuff's lights can handle this voltage.

If so, it would be really awesome to have a micro-USB port built into my "generator" van for recharging!

  • Hi Alex Burgess , good question.  It should work!  Keep us posted, and do share photos and details of your setup once you have everything mounted.

  • Rob Klingberg will do, appreciate the quick response time!

    Next step is to work out how to fit the power supply and battery in the generator van, source the PowerBoost (since it's not in stock) and find the funds :)

  • Alex Burgess FYI if it helps, SparkFun also carries its own boost/charge regulators. And I know you can buy the Adafruit and SFE ones on Amazon or places like Digikey.com. Any of these other places may have stock.

I am an old player of arcade games and I still love these games from the 80s.
Last year I discovered the world of TAS (Tool Assisted Speedrun/Superplay) and I wanted to see TAS of my favorites arcade games, but after searching the internet I was disappointed to see that there was not much contents.
On TasVideo.com there is only TAS of fighting games, nearly none of good old games.
So I decided to make them myself. And it is really fun to do, more so than I anticipated.
If you want so see the result of my work, I have begun a youtube channel dedicated to TAS of old arcade games.
Prog61 YouTube Channel

Some games I have done so far:
  • Asteroids: 100,000 in 4:26
  • Tutankham: 12 stages
  • Frogger: 10 levels in 5:20
  • Galaxian: 5K in 0.45
  • Galaga: 31 stages in 10:54
  • Wacko: 24 levels in less than 5 minutes
  • Hyper Sports: 351,390 in 1 round
  • Space Invaders: 5490 points on wave 1 (15 UFO)
  • Paperboy: Hard Way 681,616 Grand Slam 1,331,863

If you think of a game that would be funny to see in TAS or if you know of a glitch/bug that I can demonstrate, please let me know.

Larry are you alive...? (1 Viewer)

Sep 7, 2012
Edmonton, Canada, T5E-5R9
Rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated.

I am still alive although some days it does not really feel like it. My new position puts me in Fort Mac 90% of the time. All we do are shutdowns for Suncor so usually a spring and fall event lasting 3 to 4 months each with some time in between, but because I work in the office, it is really a full time job for me because I have to work on wrapping up the finances of the shutdown that just ended as well as start preparing for the next shutdown.

When we are in the shutdown window I typically work 11&3 so 11 days of work and 3 days off. I have been working this schedule since August and my last 11&3 will end Nov 30th and then I will go to an 8&6 for a while, which is much better, but it runs Wed to Wed so I still can't make it out to any meetings.

I've been living in camp since I started there and so I can't really do anything cruiser related at all and haven't logged in here for quite a while. Hopefully, I will be in town next year and can bring one of my projects up to tinker on in the evenings.

I also bought myself an acreage a year and a half ago and as usual, it is a fixer upper so I have been working on making the house more livable, but that takes sooooo long because I don't have much time to work on it. I also moved this past summer (not to the acreage, just in Edmonton) so things are still in a disarray from that as well.

I see the winter event is going to be in Fort Mac so I will be there. Even if it ends up on a weekend I'm scheduled to work, I can just take those days off.

Jan 5, 2005
only a small part of me thought you were dead.... that part was also super interested in the fj45..... but like I said it was a small part!

Glad to hear from you. hope we get to catch up., We'll move meeting if we needto.

MH-X3 Light Grenade
« on: October 22, 2017, 09:41:29 pm »
To all,

I'm very excited to share with you my submission the 2017 KeyShot Render Competition, the MH-X3 Light Grenade. The model is based on a concept from Zach Oldenkamp and represents a huge personal learning experience for me involving multiple software packages, including Z-Brush, Moi3D, Fusion 360, and Keyshot.

There are many different types of materials in the project: gemstone, solid glass, cloudy plastic, anodized metal, rubber, painted metal, and more. Various 4k, 16 bit roughness maps were used to modify the microsurface detail of the model. These maps, combined with procedural bump maps inside Keyshot, were used to displace the surface detail further. In addition, there are three hidden area lights inside each luminous chamber to create an internal glowing effect.

The background gradient was rendered in one pass to capture shadows from the grenades on the ground surface using an area light. The grenades themselves were rendered in a second pass using an HDRI environment to capture more interesting lighting and reflections. The two images were then composited from the separate render layers to produce the final image. The depth of field was produced in Photoshop using output from the depth pass. Hope you enjoy!

“Making for Brymstone are you?” the innkeeper asked.

“They’re a sly lot there – have the silver out of your purse and the boots off your feet as soon as look at you. Give themselves airs too – though they’re no better nor I.” He looked anxiously at the already darkening sky.

“Just stay on the road is my advice. On days like this you’re best not to leave it for anything,” he adds.

“If you get there, head for the First and Last – the beds there are nearly as good as ours”.

The lone inn is soon lost in a fold of the wild, rolling heathlands. The ill-made road rises over the high and windswept moor before descending into a country of neat farmsteads and rich meadows. Yet soon there are signs of the town. Tumbledown shacks huddle round smithies, loom houses, and dyers’ vats. Grimy children and scrawny chickens run in the road.

Brymstone is smelt before it is seen. A curious taint of smoke, rotting fish and seaweed, stale urine, tar and the unmistakeable whiff of greed. There it is, at last, a sprawl of a place, like a sleeping dragon. Strong walls are its flanks, tight-packed rooftops its scales, and the haze of wood smoke its breath.

Many others are on the road now. Red-cheeked country folk herding geese to market. Grizzled trappers with their pack ponies and overladen carts, swaying down the ruts. At the city gate, two guards eye you warily. One is tall and surly looking, the other stout and balding. Each wears a leather cuirass and holds a staff surmounted by a coat of arms. Short, single-edged swords hang at their belts.

“Have you lawful business in Brymstone?” the surly guard demands, while his mate scuttles away to the gatehouse. An officer appears dressed in a fine coat of mail. “I am Gothwin, captain of the gate. All law-abiding strangers are welcome in Brymstone.”

“But the law of this place demands that no man shall go armed through the streets, save for his dagger. Further, no man may openly practise magics or illusions, save in his own home. I order you then, in the name of the Guild Council, surrender your weapons and talismans into my charge, or else turnabout and return whence you came.”

Serpent King Games is very pleased to announce that we will be publishing Robert Dale’s legendary Brymstone campaign. Dragon Warriors fans have whispered of Brymstone for many years. Brymstone is renowned as one of Dragon Warriors creator Dave Morris’s own favourite campaigns to play in, but information about it is elusive. Dave has posted a few excerpts and memories on his blog. Hardier seekers of fortune may have tracked down ancient, yellowing copies of Red Giant magazine, an eldritch tome written in the last millennium, which published the start of what was to be a complete campaign setting. Unless you were lucky enough to be part of Robert’s own gaming group, that was all you could get your hands on.

Robert is typing up his notes as we speak, and we hope to get Brymstone released towards the end of 2021, as a PDF and print book from DriveThruRPG. It seems that next year is Thuland-themed!

  1. Default Seeking stock/default ringtone for LG EnV2 VX9100

    I've moved on to a different phone finally, and I've gotten all of my custom Log in to see links that I want copied to my new phone. However, there are a couple of default ringtones on the EnV2 VX9100 that I'd like to get. Particularly there's one very shrill loud repetitive one called "Loud Beeps" that is the best alarm noise I've ever found for waking me up in the morning.

    I can't seem to get to the default ringtones via BitPim. How can I get this Loud Beeps ringtone?

  2. Default

    I also used Mp3 music as ringtone for my phone. I personally find it very suitable, it helps a lot for the job. Each ringtone will be set for a different task.
    How to Log in to see links for mobile phones, people. I need someone to guide me in detail.

    The body of this leaderhead is a converted from Granado Espada , the head is from Requiem: Memento Mori and the hair is taken from the Oblivion mod "Coolsims Hair Pack". Therefore, while modifications of the models and artwork were made by me, I take no credit for both and all rights are with the respective owners.

    This leaderhead uses the Isabella animations. It's completely modular. All files in the zip-file are already put into the necessary folders, unzipping it directly in the Mods folder of BtS should result into a working mod. It has a polycount of about 17000 triangles. There is only a shader version included.

  1. Every time I hear Reich speak I think about how lucky we are to have gotten him. I remember it like it was yesterday when my son called and asked what I thought about Josh McDaniel. I told him I liked the hire. I then found out what he was really asking about was my thought of him backing out. I was definitely not a happy camper. A few choice words were definitely directed towards McDaniel. I truly am thankful that it happened because I really do think Reich is one of the best coaches in the league. I know he is one of if not one of the best men in the league. Truly a great guy. I will admit I
  2. I was coming back to add this to my other post about the 1999 draft and saw yours and figured I would post it here instead. Had we made that * Mike Ditka think we were going to take Ricky Williams at #4 we could have had all of the Saints 6 picks in the '99 draft and a 1st and 3rd in 2000. The Saints made that trade to Washington instead at #5 and they indeed used several of those picks and moved up to #7 and took Champ Bailey. I imagine we could have done the same thing and still got Edge. If I recall Polian said he wouldn't have done that trade even if offered because he didn't want to have
  3. Not taking Ryan Leaf in '98 draft. I kid you not I really was mad as a hornet when we took Manning instead...DOH
  4. This is pretty fun to play around with PFN Mock Draft Simulator https://www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft/
  5. Great article. Thanks for posting. Not sure if anyone read the WASHINGTON'S WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE article that followed. I didn't know Polian was there now and if Rivera fails it's definitely his fault with all the control he has. I'm quite surprised the GM answers to him. I wonder how many other NFL teams give their head coach the final say? I assume very few.
  6. I saw a tweet last week that was comparing GBs playoff futility to NDs because they have lost their last 4 NFC championship games. I knew we had a pretty bad record also, but I didn't know it was this bad. Since moving to Indy we've been in the playoffs 19 times and have 1 SB win to show for it. I'm not posting this to be critical because it's better to get in the playoffs and lose than not get there at all. My point is how surprised i was at the numbers. I'm a huge Atlanta Braves fan also. I'm afraid to look up their history because it's probably worse. List of Indianapolis Colts
  7. Hahaha. You really think Q is going to take it easy on someone. He would pancake is grandmother if he went up agsinst her in practice. There is not a more competitive guy on our team and he isn't taking it easy on anyone or in any situation. I bet as soon as we signed Buckner Q couldn't wait to go up against him.
  8. The reason he's coming back is because he knows he won't have to play for the next 3 years. Rivers is going to win us a Super Bowl this year and then get a new 3 year contract.
  9. One of my buddies growing up used to call him Hurt Jones to razz me and get under my skin. It worked. I punched him in the face
  10. Doesn't make sense to be a 5 point favorite at Houston in week 13 and only a 3.5 favorite at home against them in week 15
  11. He would have if the Pitt WR didn't knocked it out of his hands.. 35 second mark of this clip. If Warren could have been a little faster or a little taller to stretch for the first down on 3rd and 1 the Coryatt play wouldn't have mattered. Watching those highlights, actually LOWlights, bring back some painful memories.
  12. We are so lucky as Colt fans that our guys in charge put so much emphasis on character for our players. Pittman like just about all of our players are so well spoken and articulate. And my wife doesn't tighten caps on bottles either
  13. Who else besides me chuckles every time you see that come up?
  14. I had no idea he was so fast. 10.3 in the 100 is a burner. Love the pick
  15. I started pulling for them in 1970. I was 9 years old and as most kids do at that age they pull for someone that is good. Blue was/is my favorite color and Dallas and Baltimore both had a lot of blue in their uniforms and they were both good. Two of my friends already picked Dallas so they wouldn't let me, so I took the Colts. I haven't read the whole thread so I imagine most everyone in here has a story they have shared to prove their allegiance to the Colts. Here is my story. I was in a serious accident in October of 1980 and was in a medically induced coma for 5 days. The firs

Territory Wars: Community Style [MEGA]

    I couldn’t agree with you more. If the best they can come up with to make the game fresh and “ exciting “ is to remove toons we have worked hard to get and gear from an event, then it’s time to get some new developers or shut the game down if it has stagnated this bad. Here’s a novel idea, make an event and stop messing with it. How about come up with something new instead of continuously changing current stuff. Shows a considerable lack of imagination

    Yeah, they haven’t added anything new in years!
    Looking at you ship battles, and mods, and territory battles/war, and raids, and grand arena, and any new character in the past half year... shame...
  • We can all look forward to the 3 clone war chewie shards we’ll get when there’s a glitch in it that allows half the people to still use the banned toons.

    This is a terrible idea that make me not want to even bother playing TW

    Yeah, I’m not a fan of this new direction. We’re in a top 10 guild and have focused zetas and mods towards this game mode. While it does give us an advantage in GA it takes out the fun of team play in TW for some stupid voting game mode.

    If you want to change something, change TB. It’s 0 fun and 6 days of redundancy. I’d pay CG/EA $100/mo to not have to play it and get the max rewards

    That defeats the purpose of a game...

  • They really should take this feed back into account and save it for the future so they don’t do something like this again. Like everyone else, I’m confused as to why or how they saw lots of people liked the bonuses, and thought it’d be a great idea to take characters out. There’s kind of a difference between the two.
    Tag me if you reply to my comment so I know I should answer you!😀 My roster: https://swgoh.gg/p/842694912/
  • Horrible idea. Don’t ruin a good game mode. Make the playing field level within 2m GP and get rid of TB

    This would have been a lot better if the poll was which factions to buff. Not which characters to remove. Lol
    id love to choose ONLY one block of 4 characters and these 4 get special TW bonuses like the clone wars one for Dooku / Mace / CUP / GG

    That would have been a cool idea, then the entire past thread of 6 pages would have been a discussion on who to buff, which toons needs it or doesn't need it, how cool some of the buffs could have been, what the buffs could be.

    Talking about it amongst ourselves, getting the community involved...

    That’s what I thought it was lol.
  • This is a terrible. This really punishes those with rosters developed around these group of characters, forces people to constantly remod their roster, and scrambling to make enough teams to even fill the board and clear it. This event is already annoying but adding this in makes the event that takes these most effort and the worst rewards, makes it not even worth doing.

As for Gale, the point I was making was that his approval of you, for the reasons as enumerated by him, has so much to do with pure chance.
Apart from his romance (which I haven't tried, so no idea), how much impact do these options have on your interactions with Gale, though? Even when going with the rolls (and I don't bother with some, e.g. Arka) I never had any companions leave due to low approval. The (dis)approval messages are quite annoying and feel like spam, so I'd like an option to turn them off. But feeding Gale magical items was enough for him to be very approving of my characters regardless.

Tbh, I had the impression with some of Gale's dialogues that he is just buttering the main character up.

In my opinion, it would be a pretty good compromise to increase the x2 modifiers.
It would be an extremely simple solution that would make a character who specializes in something less often fail.
There would still be a possibility of failure but I think the game would be generally more fun for more players.
Thanks to this, the player would feel that character building really matters, not just rng.

    Thanks so much for the help! I'm definitely going to try the peacock twist. I will have to buy a more lightweight oil for my ends then as well. Do you have any experience or know of anyone using jojoba oil on their hair, and how greasy or lightweight was it?

    Howdy, nice to meet you : ) Although my hair is not as fine as yours, I can certainly sympathize with the "textured but still fine" thing. It certainly gives our hair a different look than people with coarser wavy/wurly hair. Part of the process is just making peace with your own texture and its foibles, I think.

    Jojoba oil is pretty commonly used. I would describe it as "medium" in weight, certainly not as light as the sweet almond oil that Lapushka mentioned. But if your hair doesn't seem to react well to oils and other leave-ins, why bother with them? Your hair is not so long that you are liable to need a lot of help sealing in moisture at the tips. I would just forego the oils for a while and see where you land.

    Many people report breakage from "messy buns." A smooth-textured scrunchy will be gentler on your hair than one with coarser/catchier fabric, and this type of hair tie might be enough to hold a bun in place with your weight of hair. But I definitely recommend learning more ways to secure buns that don't have to involve twisting your hair around quite so much. The claw clip peacock twist thing is certainly a great place to start. You can probably wear the same type of top-of-the-head bun that you already have secured with U-pins or a small hair fork. It might look a bit catastrophic with the layers poking out, but certainly secure enough to sleep in!

New Audio Receiver

So I'm in the market for a new audio receiver for my home entertainment set up.

I currently have an Onkyo receiver and it works great but I'm running out of HDMI and optical ports. I have great tower speakers and a nice sub and center speaker, but I just need a new receiver with more ports and the same quality as Onkyo.

Any suggestions?

    What's your budget?

    Also, keep in mind that if you're really just looking for more HDMI and optical inputs they make HDMI switches that also have optical toslink routing. You could grab one of those and save yourself a bunch of cash.

  • LuvTheMonkeyLuvTheMonkey High Sierra Serenade Registered User regular
    I suggest more Onkyo (TX-NR616)

    Or if you have the cash, Denon AVR-1913

New Drone/Item Suggestion Thread

Discussion in 'Suggestions' started by Seria-Myouna, May 7, 2013.

  1. Burby

    Burby Phantasmal Quasar

    I think it could also be a good idea to be able to find some sort of passive item that enhances drones. I'm not thinking of anything that would increase their effects, since I actually think that the general impact they have is perfectly fine. Rather, I'm thinking of items that cause one of the following:
    -absorb some of the damage they take
    -increase their health regeneration
    -tone down the increase in repair costs (this one sounds like the least likely option to me)
    -allow drones to collect health pickups when you don't need them yourself.
    How these items work in combination with yourself can probably be done in different ways. I don't know if the game can register if an enemy dies because of a drone or the player it's with, so that might also change the possibilities to implement them.

      Lol Reminds me of in Bastion equipping Falling Malt and Werewhisky. Kill everything by falling off the map! Pretty bad tactic, but it had it's uses.

      Burby is right, we need some drone upgrades!

        Why not just have the Cupcake Decoy explode after 4-5 seconds for like 400-500% damage? The lantern fears and damages for 10 seconds, so that wouldnt be too overpowered.

        EDIT: Also try to keep discussion of items down to a minimum without also suggesting a new item in the process.

        Shock Drone[Drone]:
        Activation Cost: +++++
        Health: +++++
        Regen Rate: +++++
        Damage/Effect: +++++
        • Shocks a nearby enemy every second, dealing minor shock damage that arcs to every other enemy nearby. Very useful for crowd control.
        • Trenched_Colonel

          Trenched_Colonel Seal Broken

          Just a minor suggestion, one that deals with thematics. The Mitosis item deals with your active item, while the alien head deals with your skills. I think it would just make a wee bit more sense if they were reversed as the mitosis would affect your own cells and therefore your skills. The alien head would then deal with your active item and I don't know I just think that makes a bit more sense. Just a minor tweak.
          • Shrooblord

            Shrooblord Void-Bound Voyager

            This isn't a suggestion for a new item, but rather a retuning of an existing one. I suggest that the Mirror Image Item doesn't double the damage and effects of your abilities, but rather creates a ghost of your character, who moves on his own accord and uses Abilities (well) on his own accord. This would make it a far more interesting item.

              Cyriel Pangalactic Porcupine

              I gotta agree to some level that mirror right now is absolutely OP compared to some of the other usables. While creating a temporary AI ally would seem like a good idea, what about actually mirroring yourself in that the clone shoots the other way ? That way it's less OP unless you start going inside large mob's hitboxes while still retaining a lot of functionality compared to having an AI that might behave like one and run off / do strange things / waste use item slot

              On that note: Explodo Buddy [Active]

              • Create a decoy with the same amount of health that randomly uses the same skills as the player, but deals reduced damage while turning the player invisible and unable to attack for X seconds. Once the decoy is killed or the invisibility ends, it'll explode for maxhp% dmg. Really high cooldown etc.

                Trenched_Colonel Seal Broken

                I'm waaaaay too lazy to read through all of these so sorry if one of these is a repeat;

                Emergency Teleport [Active]
                • When activated, sends player to random location on the map out of harms way or potentially to a much worse fate. (See, it's a gamble)
                Long fall Boots [Tier 1 Passive]
                • Falling greater distances = greater crater damage while player takes little to no damage. (Or call them Long drop boots so you don't step on anyone's toes)
                • Cyriel

                  Cyriel Pangalactic Porcupine

                  Heartless gravity :p I suggested that one heh.
                  • Zone Spyker

                    Zone Spyker Aquatic Astronaut

                    Fire shield triggers when you fall and take damage , so having another passive that triggers on falling is redundent
                    • Cyriel

                      Cyriel Pangalactic Porcupine

                      Yes but fire shield / panic mines trigger from damage. This triggers purely from height. The idea is to use 3x jumping height as the minimum modifier thus no damage taken.
                      • Matanui3

                        Matanui3 Phantasmal Quasar

                        The Double-Tapper [passive] (The item sprite would probably be the Commando's helmet or something like that)
                        Each hit of a basic attack ability (Z) counts as an extra hit for the effects of other items (does not deal another attack hit). Each additional stack provides another instance of this effect every 3 to 5 procs.

                        Boombox [passive] (Feel the beat!)
                        Activation of an ability causes a close-ranged pulse dealing a percentage of the abilities total damage (Double Tap, etc only do one pulse, based on the total damage of all shots added together).

                        Endurance Belt [passive]
                        Whenever you would be reduced to 0 hp, you are reduced to 1 instead. After this procs, it has a long cooldown before it can happen again, and during cooldown all healing and regen is reduced.

                        The Equalizer [active]
                        Nearby enemies' current percentage of health become the same as your current percentage of health (this can heal them)
                        5 minute or so cooldown if it can effect bosses, half of that or less if it cannot.

                        Risky Rain-Gauge
                        no actual ideas for this item, but there needs to be one with this name...

                              Sorry for not coloring the names the proper colors. I can't tell the difference between the ones you said to use. :p

                              [Murasame - Tier 1 Passive]
                              Critical strikes gain a bonus 20% damage. (This item's too weak for its namesake.)

                              [Resplendence - Tier 2 Passive]
                              Gain a 10% chance to reflect damage from an attack completely. (This gives diminishing returns when stacking. Bonus points if you know where this name's from. Also this should proc items. The effect would look something like the character and affected enemy flashing rainbow.)

                              [Bloodwell - Tier 2 Passive]
                              Killing enemies fills up the Blood Well with blood, up to a cap. When your health reaches <25%, it activates, healing you over time until it is empty. (This item has a cooldown, and the blood gain is basically a percentage of the health of the mob killed. The heal over time is rather significant though. More Blood Wells increases the blood cap. Starting cap would be something like 150 health.)

                              [Executioner's Scissors - Tier 2 Passive]
                              You are guaranteed to crit enemies with under 15% health. (More of these increases the % minimum by 5%, but it diminishes somehow. The effect should be some sort of ethereal scissors slicing the critted enemies.)

                              [Paralyzing Seal - Tier 2 Passive]
                              When killing an enemy, have a chance to place down a seal where it was killed. Seals last for 8 seconds and trigger when an enemy crosses it, stunning enemies in a small radius. (By small, I mean really small. Like, enemies that are stacked on top of each other.)

                              [Rabac's Spool - Tier 3 Passive]
                              Being near enemies tethers threads to them. Every second, tethered enemies are damaged and you are healed for the same amount. The threads break if mobs travel too far away. (More bonus points in my book if you get where the name's from. Additional Spools increases the heal/damage. Also, the heal/mob would have to be REALLY low, something like 2% of your damage.)

                              [Sheepbait - Tier 3 Passive]
                              Critical strikes have a small chance to turn non-boss enemies into harmless sheep for 6 seconds. (This starts at something like 5%.)

                              [Anesthesia - Active]
                              Cooldown: 80s
                              All onscreen enemies are put to sleep, besides bosses. Enemies stay asleep for 20s or until attacked. (This is my attempt at making something that would at least somewhat complement Bustling Fungus.)

                                  "Nobody knows what the &%*# it does."

                                  Technically it can be named anything, I just couldn't resist a personal insert name as a temporary placeholder.

                                  Around this time last year, I had a dream where I ended up looking at some boxes of tomatoes and then a box of really weird mutant purple root stuff that was called "Jim's Tuber" (I don't know why I remember the name). I clipped a tiny piece off so I could take it home and bury it to see how it grew. The dream fragmented off to something else later. Which involved a huge terrarium/aquarium which basically had a mini Terraria world inside it with an ant-farm-style cutaway. I planted the tuber in it and put up a sign/tombstone that said "Here lies Jim's Tuber. Nobody knows what the &%*# it does" (only not censored). I was notified by someone that I did it wrong, somehow, before I woke up.
                                  So now, whenever I'm presented with a concept of any item that has no apparent use, I like to think of it as Jim's Tuber because of that dream, haha.

Each item after the first increases damage and resistance by 0.5% and 0.25%, respectively. Resistance is capped at 90%. When the resistance cap is met, the extra bonus shifts over to damage [optional]

                                      You gain four moons orbiting around your character (or possibly 1 moon per amplifier with a max of like 6). Projectiles explode on contact with the moons, dealing damage to the moon instead of potentially to you. After enough damage is taken, a moon is destroyed (possibly sending shrapnel flying that damages enemies). You gain new moons every few seconds when out of combat.

                                        Upgrades can be stacked, for example, 9 upgrade drones + 1 Laser drone = Godlike Laser drone (For clarity on the amount of effect, any regular drones with two upgrade drones affecting them would be at about the same level as a battle drone.

                                          This would be immensely overpowered for item farming. An actually slightly balanced cooldown would probably be among the lines of 150-180 seconds for this, and even then it would be very OP simply due to the chance of it containing a tier 3 item.

Z1 a good combination of digital and 35 mm
In my opinion minolta has done a good job of combining features of a 35 mm into a digital camera. It does require a bit of photography no how to get good shots but I think it's worth the work.

Is it a good novice point and shoot camera NO.

To get the really good shots you will need to draw upon the book and learn how to use the manual settings.

THe macro on this camera is awsome. It takes just as good as my 35 mm camera does if not better.

I do wish they would have either made a remote for it or some way of shooting the shots other than waiting 10 seconds for the auto timer.

By far I think the menu is the best I have ever used. It is soooo easy to figure out.

Battery wise I am still on my 1st set of energizers. Waiting for my new rechargables to get here along with my larger 256 mb card.

They should have sold the camera with a larger card to start with.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 8:02 PM.

Nobody is holding R2, bunt dancing or making me wait 4 minutes to try to trick me with a friendly quit & no network error losses.......If next year you could introduce weekly games vs the cpu where you could earn massive stubs like solo battles in Madden then I would never play ranked seasons again and I would definitely keep playing The Show past August. Cannot state enough how much I enjoy playing offline & how much I despise being forced to play the worst of humanity in RS. Thank you.

Re: Quick setup and short contract?

[re: davidc01] [link to this post]
Just to note I am having issues with my broadband at the minute should be FTTC was getting 65/18 but now been gradually reducing.

I ordered one of these for £50 which should be delivered today/tomorrow and an omni directional aerial.

I have sim cards for Three/EE & Vodafone and I am going to try each one to see what speeds I can get on them and trial them out. I am going to keep it even if my landline gets fixed to use as a backup.

Re: Quick setup and short contract?

[re: Ancient_Mariner] [link to this post]
4G router up and running. Difference is massive. Particularly today when ping times have gone to 1s - 2s. Seconds!!

Check out todays BQM - worst by a long way so far: https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/...

https://ibb.co/6YT80PK : Ping test 4G vs Virgin (4G is the one on the mac, my PC behind is on Virgin. These pings are happening at the same time. The Mac is a wireless connection to the 4G router. The PC is gigabit wired to the Virgin router.) Should save me from having to commute to work, anyway!

Thanks for the suggestion, this has probably saved me from going into work. 4G not perfect, still get intermittent lag on RDP, but nothing like as bad as before. Its consistent & good, then suddenly freezes for a few seconds, then is good again. VS Virgin which was just consistently so slow as to be unusable.

Saberlight Bolt - Personal Plasma Beam Lighter

Saberlight Bolt - Personal Plasma Beam Lighter

I’m guessing the heavy west coast sales have to do with this suggested use.

1 Like

I bought this or something very similar tonit(said “saber light bolt” on it) in this site and it broke shortly after I got it.

Is this batch doing better?

I got one the last time these were up for sale. It worked fine, except for the broken micro-usb port. A pin was broken inside, so I couldn’t charge it. How’s the quality control on the ones for sale now?

Well, it’s new so… Not sure what you’re expecting for an answer. :confused:

I have a different model plasma lighter. Been working ok (not heavy use) but…

Fwiw, these things emit a high-frequency pitch that only teenagers and pets can hear. They tell me it’s quite annoying. (::evil chuckle::slight_smile:

Well, this Saberlight Bolt is pretty impressive… that is if it decides to work. Out of the very nice box, it worked 2 times, then I couldn’t get it to work no matter how many times I activated the switch… then out of the blue, it would work once or twice then die again. I believe I’m going to have to return it.
