Sarah got married last year February, I still look at these photographs and admire her choice of colors and natural beauty. Sarah is a young and vibrant women and has always looked after her skin. I also did a spray tan for Sarah, a soft hint of natural bronze to compliment her white dress. Her happiness shines through which makes a big difference in a personals life! Sarah being a young bride, we decided to keep her makeup as natural as possible. We wanted Sarah to look back and still love how she looked in her photographs. I think we achieved the perfect look.
The Image above, you can see how we did Sarah's makeup. Soft black liner, the shadow blended into the crease to give definition. I used a little champagne sparkle on the eyelid to open up her eyes. I loved how the blusher worked on her apples. I blended some warm blusher to contour the shape of Sarah's face and to add some colour.

Lobbyists of All Hues – The Big and The Small Fries
By Nita Chicooree
How do we define the role of what is commonly referred to as 'socio-cultural organizations' in the press? Some of them bear names which refer to specific ethnic, language groups and castes while others explicitly point to diverse religious associations. Some religious groups do not separate culture from religion while others do.
Historically, religion was closely linked to politics. The power of the Church reigning hand in hand with the sugar industry oligarchy and colonial authorities needs no elaboration. In those days, ethnicity and religion played a key role in the recruitment of civil servants prior to the existence of the Public Service Commission. In course of time, other ethnic groups formed religious associations and joined in the movement of political emancipation in the name of their groups.
However, we are no longer living in the 1950s. The country has gone a long way in its political, social and economic development. Yet, what has not changed is that a handful of people has made the most of wildcat capitalism and is enjoying the biggest share of the cake. These people do not need their official religious body to speak in their name and defend their interests. They wield more power than politics and religion combined. Others who have jumped on the bandwagon of unbridled capitalism, including foreigners, do not need religious or cultural associations as intermediaries. The government ensures that their interests are maintained.
Generally, it is much more difficult to confront the powerful. This is what the mainstream media does not do. Nor does it display high professionalism in dismantling the political-corporate nexus which has been blowing hot and cold for decades. Generally, it is much easier to attack weaker people. So, what is more visible in the media are the other groups with weaker economic power but who are constantly shown to be hobnobbing with politicians. How economic ultra-liberalism and crony capitalism concentrate power and wealth within a small circle of economic dynasties, grab opportunities for their own small groups, and halt the economic progress of other people, surreptitiously check their ambition and economic expansion and steal the dreams of their countrymen is not revealed to the public.
Now, there is the question of what is coined as 'socio-cultural' and religious associations which receive State subsidies and thus, quite logically, establish links with politicians. Officially, they are expected to promote and work for the benefit of their members. Generally, they are perceived as overstepping the boundary of their roles and using political connections to influence nominations in ministries, key governmental posts and parastatal bodies, not to mention the allegation of furthering their own family and personal advancement. To what extent the political class relies on them for vote banks is an open question.
Opinion polls across the country will certainly reveal whether civil society deems it right or not that State subsidies should be handed out to cultural and religious organizations. Or whether funds should be collected from members. In the same vein and spirit of public participation, public funds granted in the form of stimulus packages to big companies should be a topic of discussion. How renovation in the hotel industry drains state financial participation, how the industry expands abroad, the question of low salaries for the common people and deepening huge disparities in income an ultra-liberal economic policy engenders should also be raised. Income inequality is the basis of much frustration.
The whole issue is: avoid being selective in the witch hunt.
A significant turning point should take place in the relations between religious associations and politicians. MPs, ministers, the PM and the President should not be invited to preside and speak at religious functions. They should just keep away. It is not their job as representatives of the people to discourse on religion. More than often, it all boils down to both parties — the organizers and the politicians — using religion to further their own agenda.
Do the representatives of cultural associations really want to promote culture? Well, there is a lot to do in the field of drama, art, classical and modern music and songs in different languages. A whole generation's culture is limited to a few sega songs, bland songs from Hindi films and random western singers. A high number of young people have never seen a play in a theatre nor have they been to a painting exhibition, let alone having the opportunity to be creative and play musical instruments.
How come there is such a lack of creativity in oriental culture – sculpture, music, literature, songs and dances? Never heard of a local composer of Hindi songs. We should take a close look at the various cultural influences that are likely to find a positive response in Mauritian society, which can enhance knowledge and refinement and see whether we are taking advantage of all the opportunities.
The ills besetting society today should draw the attention of all those who claim State subsidies in the name of their flocks. Crime, domestic violence, drug traffic, alcohol-related violence and road accidents, family break-ups, unruly and riotous behaviour are some of the issues that they could help to tackle.
The Catholic Church plans to give support to youngsters, families and women to fight against drug addiction; it will also sensitize them against abortion and promote a healthy lifestyle. What do Hindu and Muslim organizations plan to do for the benefit of their members? What percentage of Hindus understand prayers, the meaning of rites, Sanskrit, the content of sacred scriptures and so on? Religion should also uplift people towards higher ideals. How many people do receive proper guidance and counselling?
The point is that if all the leagues, cultural associations and temple federations have a genuine concern for their members, their energy would be better channeled to find ways to promote culture and religious values. It would keep them busy all year round. So they should keep away from meddling in nominations in the government and parastatal bodies or dragging ministers into religious matters. There will be a healthier atmosphere if the right persons do the right jobs in the right places.
Lastly, as mentioned earlier, 'socio-cultural' associations jockeying for influence is just part of the issue of concentration of economic power, influence and wealth in the hands of a few people who have hijacked politics and the media.

The infamous pic
Okay Take a look at this pic. What do you think? How about thinking that is supports underage drinking?
You should know that she is 27. Now what do you think? How about after you find out she wasn't able to graduate from college because she posted this pic on myspace.com?
Now you can fully believe that idiots control the university system. The same system that tries to tell the world who is important and valuable because they have been taught by a professor.

|Tale of Diep (ToD) is no longer under active development as a derivative of Diep.io and remains here as an archive, though spin-offs such as The Extended Tale of Diep remain active. For info on the successor to Tale of Diep, now an independent work called "A Tale Where Nothing Matters", visit its Discord server here.
In times so lost, our warning heed.
A struggle for power, to sate their greed.
Pick a side or drown your pleads.
Who will live to see the dark one freed?
Because in a time of darkness and hate,
swords must swing and blood must bleed.
The Tale of Diep is a fan-made game idea with its roots in Diep.io, created in concept by Zathsu, art and music for the most part done by Graviatar (as well as designing the entire Polygon-side of the game), and with additional assistance from Diepmon in a number of places. The Tale of Diep includes hundreds of new achievements, complex AI patterns including bosses with attack pools they can choose from, an interactive story with unique characters such as the nefarious Archprophet, tons of new tanks, and multiple new Enemies. The Realm is the setting of the world, and is full of unique natives, societies, beasts, treasures, and foes to explore. And while sometimes tanks fight against each other, all must stand together to bring down the Cult of Panzer, and prevent the freeing of Panzer.
It is deep now into The Middle Era, defined from the rest by a lack of the great creator of the realm, Panzer, who was sealed away by the tanks at the end of The Old Era for what he did to them. Near its dawn, the world was fire, and tanks were left to hide in caverns and construct labyrinths to hide from the uninhabitable Realm outside. And near this time's end, the Archprophet as we know him today, founded the doctrine of the Cult of Panzer, created to free the god of the realm from the chains of the sub-realm tanks locked him in.
The fire cleared, the world was to be explored once more. And instantly the two factions, the old Tank Empire and the Cult of Panzer fought. Heading his operations in the Tower of Gladii, the focal point of the world where Panzer once oversaw everything, the Archprophet now commands millions in his ranks against the nearly endless and indestructible Tank Empire, who even in small numbers can hold out like cockroaches. Whose side will you be on as you battle your way through this time of darkness and hate, and will you live to see the dark one freed?
That is to be found out as you explore the Realm and dive deeper and deeper into this symbolic story where it just goes to show what can be learned... from a bunch of shapes. What lessons will you take in, and what morals will you draw from this epic narrative of conflicting ideals and the foundations of religion?
- Hundreds of new Achievements to earn!
- 80+ new bosses to overcome and take down with friends!
- Battle your way through mighty Fortresses and take out the Sons of Panzer!
- Learn the new meaning of pain by inflicting and receiving potent status effects!
- Play the tens of new tanks and branches added, including the expansive Lancer branch, and more!
- Over 100 new enemies to slay and catalog in a new Bestiary feature.
- Collect elusive Panzer Tokens, to progress and unlock new gamemodes and more!
- Find, save, and bring to battle 20+ collectible Companions!
- A unique and powerful upgrade tree, both temporary and permanent.
- Create a profile and make friends with fellow players you meet throughout The Realm!
- A brand new chat function for players to communicate both in-game and out!
- Annoy and attempt to bring down the nefarious Archprophet and his Cult of Panzer!
- And so... much... more!
cue even more epic music as the logo rises on screen
(That's probably all gonna be in a trailer/preview if I make one with gameplay footage behind it, ha ha)
Progression and Gameplay
The Tale of Diep is a cooperative MMORPG with its roots in what once was an expansion idea for the game Diep.io. In it, players must work together to battle the foes of the Tank Empire within The Realm, with the ultimate goal being to stop the Archprophet and the Cult of Panzer in the far west. The game has a Character system for all non-Arena game modes (where the game is basically Diep.io with more modes and a rank system), where players create their tank and are dropped into The Realm. From The Realm, players will level up slowly, progressing from area to area, ranging from Melancholy Forest to the Desolate Plains.
In regards to this Character, it levels up like a Diep.io tank would, being able to choose one of five upgrades at Level 15, and then branching out from there at 30 and 45 of course. Tale of Diep also has a perma-death feature, where once a story gamemode character dies, it and everything in its inventory is gone for good. A new tank, starting from Level 1 with few exceptions, must be created. Also within the game are items, accessories, currency, and an inventory for players. Bosses and enemies can drop both Tankit and items for certain tank classes to use and wield, both permanently and temporarily. A few things remain between deaths, and multiple tank Characters can be had at a time, starting at five slots, and more being unlocked for either Tank, or doing certain actions, with a maximum of twenty. Tankit, Companions, Panzergram upgrades and a few special items are preserved between deaths, with these special items returning to a place only the player can access in Imperium, the haven and main Tank Empire city within The Realm.
Within The Realm are ten areas, including the safe Tank Empire, with nine hostile lands to explore. There are numerous enemy groups that can spawn, some appearing in multiple areas, but mostly restricted to one. The most bountiful enemy of the Tank Empire in the Realm is the Cult of Panzer, the main adversary power in the game, whose leader, the maniacal Archprophet, wishes to return an old god and 'evil' creator of the world to The Realm following his sealing millennia before. Within The Realm are Fortresses, towns, societies of Polygons, Cultist outposts, landscape puzzles, dungeons, area setpieces, and more to overcome.
Occasionally, special limited time game modes can appear both in The Realm and The Arena. Within The Realm and its exclusive periodic game modes, players must use their Characters, who risk death at any time. Game modes such as Club Panzer, Mad Science, Fortress Mode, and more. The most special, however, is the Tower of Gladii, the main base of operations for the Cult of Panzer. It is basically a massive dungeon with a nearly identical layout every run, but with some random differences on loading. It requires a large team or a small coordinated one to complete, and slaying the Archprophet at the end is no simple task, as his health scales with players, a mechanic shared by many other bosses.
- First truly fleshed out story on the wiki, unless I am mistaken.
- The Archprophet coincidentally started this all. One random day I decided I needed a final boss a fateful day in August, and BAM!, I just happened to type in Archprophet as the page name and work from there. And ever since, I have been planning the events of the story.
- With this event came the creation of Panzer and the change of name for the original 'Boss Tanks' to 'Sons of Panzer'. Mwa ha ha!
- Of course, little did I know at the time the Archprophet was not going to be the final boss. Oh no no...
- The themes and morals that are meant to be taken from this story are massive and important, but no one has tried to look... ha ha ha...
- The Extended Tale of Diep is a conception expansion/community project to the Tale of Diep created by Diepmon, where aspects of the Tale of Diep are built up in places or new storylines have been created entirely, as sort of a fanon to a fanon.

"A member of St. Nicholas Catholic Church portrays Jesus while riding a lawn mower during the parade."
The picture above and its caption appeared in the local weekly, the Mystery Island Slack Tide, a newspaper that at times rises to sublime heights of comedy proofreading, so insane and so often that I haven't saved the mistakes over the years. This is typical of me, a person who cannot even remember simple jokes. Sometimes humor is best served by avoiding the obvious, however, and the Slack Tide's Hilarious Headlines would be best served up in, say, Proctor's Planet. But, proofreading isn't the entire point here, there are deeper matters afoot.
Point being, as the Big Blonde Babe often says, point being the picture. You just can't get something funnier than this picture on any number of levels. And look at the look on his face. When I first peered at him, I thought he might be slightly smiling behind the Insane Fake Beard, but now I think he's uncomfortable, unsure of himself, perhaps hovering between a peremptory wave to his wife and daughter and a horrible sense that time is passing at an incredibly slow rate. And this Jesus has on a gold bracelet or watch and, best of all, sunglasses. The fact that he's dragging a cart full of depressing Spring flowers makes it unseasonal for Christmas, but what the hell. It's Jesus and the holiday is, if nothing else, named for him.
In other words, for most of us, of course, The Holiday has nothing to do with Him at all. It's a cheerful Native Festival based around a yearly potlach-modeled gift/blackmail wealth distribution system, featuring a kind of display of ancient music forms with incomprehensible lyrics and legendary figures with or without red noses and features best of all, the worship of the real hero, the reason the whole thing should be called Santamas anyway.
Why it's Christ's mass, we're not sure, most of us. But if you ask us about Santa, we're with you. We know why it's Santa's mass. Every credit card in our depleted wallets knows why. I think that's one reason that the picture is so disconcerting. If Santa were riding a lawn mower, we would immediately understand. They got the wrong guy on the mower and our Member is understandably confused, perhaps, as are we.
As well, we are assured that the person pictured is not Jesus Himself, but a Member portraying Him WHILE RIDING A LAWN MOWER. That's the key point, the proofreading point, the editing point. A point worthy of capitalization.
Is The Member portraying Jesus while he, himself, is riding the lawn mower, or is he portraying a Jesus who is Himself riding the lawn mower? It's not a minor point. This opens up a world beyond proofreading. Followers of Jesus will be quick to point out that He can do many more miraculous things than simply riding a lawn mower, in other words it's perfectly plausible that Jesus might have ridden one, nothwithstanding the tremendous disparity in Time between the supposed death of Jesus and the commercial availability of the lawn mower. Think of the few things your santa-pagan brain knows about Jesus: water to wine, loaves to fishes or vice versa – whatever – and that whacky coming back from the Dead and not even mentioning the virgin birth thing. He might have created a lawn mower from a frog, he might have transported himself into a Future where a Time Traveler a little too large for the lawn mower still rode one. You can't win this argument, and don't bother.
On the other hand there's the perfectly plausible argument from the even-handed Absent Proofreader that we're merely looking at a guy dressed up as Jesus who is PORTRAYING Him while at the same time trying to drive a lawnmower downhill in front of townspeople while dragging a cart behind, blinded by the sun and wearing essentially a dress and a false beard and a wig. This in itself would be a considerable accomplishment, and the Slack Tide's photographer has understandably not caught the intense pressure that would be felt by the innocent Member who is – at the same time – portraying someone who essentially commits suicide for the pleasure of a Guy who theoretically fathered him without actually penetrating Mom.
It's all fraught with problems, it's all deeper than it looks. In defense, over the years, I've come up with an antidote to the problem of Jesusers feeling slighted by Kwanzites, or Hebrites, or Pagites or Musites horning in on a holiday they consider theirs by virtue of an accident of nomenclature. My Holiday Peacemaker is called; "Let's Put Jesus Back in Christmas." And my plan involves simple lyric changes: When you peruse the following list, you'll probably want to come up with some of your own.
"It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Jesus"
"I Saw Mommy Kissing Jesus"
"Jingle Jesus"
"O Come All Ye Jesus""
"O Little Town of Jesus"
"Walking in a Winter JesusLand"
"Here Comes Jesus, Here Comes Jesus,
Right Down Jesus Lane"
"Jesus We Have Heard on High"
"Deck the Halls with Boughs of Jesus"
"God Rest You, Merry Jesus"
"Silent Jesus"
Gather the kids, round up the neighbors, write in the changes on the sheet music and set out for some caroling.
Got a lawn mower? Ride it. 'tis the season.

Tag Archives: baby first fever
Jax had runny nose and mild fever for the first time today. He is still happy but not as active as usual. It is heartbreaking to see bubba is not well.
We took Jax to our family doctor to get him examined. The doctor said there's nothing serious to worry about and it was just viral. She said to give him children's Panadol if he started to get upset or unsettled. She also advised me to bring him back in three days if he is still not well because usually the fever can last up to five days or so, my heart begin to pound when I heard that.
We also took Jax to see the Chiropractor after the appoinment with our family doctor. The Chiropractor found lots of tension in Jax's neck when he adjusted Jax. He also said that Jax is dehydrated.
Jax had a very good sleep after the adjustment and he was sweating away the fever. We checked his temperature when he woke up and we are very happy to see his temperature is already back to normal.
Now I understand that it is important to keep our little ones well hydrated especially on the hot summer days. Jax is a sweaty winter baby especially when I'm nursing him, it looks like he has had a bucket of water dumped over his head. As a high proportion of a baby's weight is water, so it is essential to keep our little ones well hydrated. Before six months of age, this usually means making sure that baby received plenty of breast milk or formula.
Breast milk is made up of fore-milk, a thin thirst quencher, and hind milk, a thick belly filler. During hot weather, it is important to offer your baby frequent feeds – about every hour. This may seem like a lot, but bear in mind he will only feed for a few minutes, just enough to quench the thirst. Breastfeeding is thirsty business for Mums so, be sure you drink lots of water too! You will need extra water to keep yourself hydrated and to keep your milk supply going strong.
Formula fed babies may need water in addition to formula. Because formula is thick and calorific throughout, you may find your little one is drinking frequently, but overall not having more formula than normal. In this case, try offering cooled boiled water between regular feeds. Start off by offering baby just a little bit of water and often. You do not want to fill your little one up with water, as this will leave less room for formula.
These are the signs of dehydration:
-Your baby has had fewer than six wet nappies in 24 hours or no wet nappy for six hours.
-Baby's urine is a dark yellow.
-Baby has a sunken fontanelle, dry mouth and/or seems lethargic (severe dehydration).
Water is such an important component in the human body, in fact our body is made up of 75% water. Remember to keep yourself and your little one hydrated!

Luxe Box still being at a baby stage, everyone gets the same items. Once they launch publicly, they claim that the service will be customize to your own self using the information from the survey that you take when you sign up.
Anyway, let's get to the good, shall we?
I took pictures of what EVERYTHING looks like, from removing the box's lid to up close pictures of the product, for you to see all that there is to see.
Now let's talk about the products :
The deluxe sample include is 0,45 Oz. or 13 grams. After a little research, I found that the big guy of this is 2,6 Oz. or 75 grams. Knowing that it costs 50$, you get 8,67$ worth of products, not bad, eh?
I haven't use it yet, but I can tell you that you get quite a bit of it. The powder is not chunky but still you can feel that it's harsher than normal powder would be, which will make it a good daily exfoliant. It also smells of citrus.
Well, it does. And it is. And you are."
Hand made in small batches from the finest quality organic oils, butters and grains.
Feels good to treat yourself like royalty, doesn't it? "
To be honest again, I'm not sure if I will use this. At 17 years old, anti-aging is not a priority of mine quite yet.
The sample size is 10 ml and the full size is 30 ml. Knowing that the big guy is 65$ it means that you get a sample worth 21,67$. Yes. That's crazy. I know.
That was just a nice little thing to add, thanks Loose Button!
Overall, I really like the Luxe Box and I'm happy to know that I still have two months of them comming. At 9,95$ a month, to me it's well worth it! If we do a little math here, mine was worth 49,34$! I would truely recommend you to sign up and try at least one month. You can do so on their website!
Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it!
P.s.: I was featured on careersinfashion.net in the Top 50 Chic Beauty Blogs! Thanks a lot to them :) You can see the post right here!

The Lucknow police raided jailed controversial MLA Mukhtar Ansari's son Abbas Ansari's residence in Delhi and recovered six firearms and around 4000 cartridges. Few recovered firearms are foreign-made, said police.
The police conducted raids after lodging FIR against Abbas Ansari last week at Mahanagar police station under the relevant section of Arms Act.
"Police raided Abbas house at Vasant kunj in Delhi and recovered six weapons – four guns, a rifle and and a rifle. Few of them were imported in India. Abbas was staying there on rent," said Station House Officer, Mahanagar police station, Ashok Kumar Singh adding Abbas was then not present in the house.
The recovered weapons are from Italy, America and Slovenia, said police.
On October 12, Lucknow police lodged an FIR against Abbas on the basis of an inquiry report. The inquiry team found that Abbas had purchased more than one weapon on an arms license issued on his name in 2012. The license was issued on Abbas's Lucknow address at Nishatganj. The inquiry team also found that in 2015 Abbas got his arms licensed transferred to his Delhi' Vasantkunj address. An FIR was lodged against Abbas under IPC section 420 (Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) and Arms Act.
After obtaining permission from a local court of Lucknow, a police team from Lucknow in a joint operation with their Delhi counterparts, conducted raid at Abbas's house and recovered six firearms and cartridges from there.
The Police have now invoked IPC sections 467 (Forgery of valuable security, will, etc), 468 (Forgery for purpose of cheating) and 471 (Using as genuine a forged 1[document or electronic record] ) against Abbas.
"Abbas purchased extra weapons on same arms license by claiming himself to be national shooter," said Singh.

in the wake of revolution in France,our nobles and ministers strongly
urge us to prevent the breeding of sedition amongst the common
subjects,which was surely the cause of such outrageous insolence.
Putting them into a place where they can serve their king efficiently
will not only keep their minds from rebellion and subversion,but also
increase the size of our war coffers.

It is evident that our last defeat at the hands of the French was not due
to our skill and cunning,or the morale of our troops - quite the
opposite in fact. It is only due to advances in technology and
organisation that such common plebeians could have defeated our
valiant royal armies. We have learned this lesson bitterly, and must take
action at once to prevent another embarrassing disaster. Currently we
are at peace,and should use this time to enhance our recruitment capabilities

great nations of Europe and must be stopped. While others stand wiht
us against France, the Kingdom of Prussia has yet to join our coalition.
Should their domain fall into the hands of the French, nothing would

Roads improve communications within a region: goods and, more importantly, armies
can move at a better speed along maintained roads.
Some effort is put into maintaining the main roads, improving the carriageway and
providing working drainage for rainwater. If nothing else, the building of roads is a
useful way of getting some value from the feckless, workshy, and undeserving poor.
Honest men who pay their taxes expect some return for their support of the naturally
indolent and the unfortunates who have been thrown out of work.
Historically, there was also a military imperative to improve roads, even if the change
was from a rutted cart track to a smooth cart track. Troops and artillery require good
roads for strategic redeployments and rapid responses to enemy or rebellious activity. It
is far easier to haul artillery pieces along any kind of road rather than across country.
With the Enlightenment's conscious harking back to the Classical era, there was also a
desire to emulate the achievements of Rome, even in something as small as roadways.

These well-built roads, surfaced with stone, are able to carry much heavy traffic,
including military forces.
Making a cobbled road is an incredibly laborious business. Each small paving stone must
be shaped, placed and mortared into position. If done properly, the road also requires
foundations, a carefully judged camber to carry away rainwater, and drainage. The end
result is a fine road that is extremely durable, but not very comfortable: cobbles can be
hellishly bumpy!
in practice the expense of cobbling a road, and the attractive finish that cobbles
produced, meant that the surface was only used where the nobility or propertied classes
were likely to see or use it. The great and the good could hardly be expected to wallow
along in the mud and horse dung like common folk! The poor did, however, find a use
for cobbles: lifted from the road, they were a perfect fist-sized lump of rock for hurling
at the unpopular representatives of law and order. In his later years, the Duke of
Wellington, by then the British Prime Minister, was not called the "Iron Duke" for his
military qualities, but thanks to his carriage's iron shutters, there to protect him from
the many rocks that were chucked in his direction!

A metalled road is surfaced with small broken stones, providing a long-lasting roadway
for military and civilian traffic.
The road is actually constructed in layers of differently sized stones, starting with large
rocks as the foundation, and layers of smaller stones on top. Each layer is compressed
when it is laid with a heavy roller. The end result is a solid path that can drain cleanly, as
there are always small gaps for rainwater to trickle through. This method is often used
for the key strategic and commercial routes between cities and defence points. Tolls are
often charged to users of such excellent roads and turnpikes, as they are often
constructed for profit. Metalled roads in a region allow military forces to travel with
great speed.
Technically, "metalled roads" do not require a tarmac surface to be termed "metalled": a
concrete surface is also a metalled road. Roads were only covered in "tarmac" after
1820, when the idea of using tar to stabilise the top layer of stones was tried by John
Loudon McAdam (1756-1836). His idea was a success, although a "McAdamised" finish
was not called "tarmac" until 1901!

This building allows basic military units to be recruited.
It is extremely useful for all governments to be able to keep a visible military presence
in the country, a reminder that "the rod and the axe" are available, should they be
needed. This is true even in countries where liberty and freedom are trumpeted loudly:
too much liberty, especially among the lower orders of society, is a dangerous thing. It
is equally important to keep soldiers apart from the common folk; disorder and crime
nearly always follow when they are allowed to mix.
Historically, most military cantonments or encampments had a distinctly non-military
appearance. Most armies had a huge train of sutlers to provide food and drink, wagon
masters for transport, armourers and smiths for weapons and gear, pioneers, holy men,
hangers-on, hawkers and officers' servants. Alongside these was another army of wives,
children, and the inevitable prostitutes plying their trade to officers and men alike.
States recognised that these people were necessary to the smooth running of armies,
but that did not mean that they made life easy for them, or looked after them in any
way. On campaign, units had an allowance of wives, but those women left behind would
have to shift for themselves and hope for a portion of their men's pay.

A barracks allows a selection of military units to be recruited.
Barracks provide housing, armouries, and stabling for most kinds of soldiers and their
mounts, along with the space necessary for them to be trained in the basics of military
life. Sensibly, they are usually also designed to be defensible, even if there are town
walls, and an imposing symbol of government solidity and power. The barracks are a
bulwark for the power of the ruling classes: the local authorities can send men to deal
with all enemies, foreign and domestic. The place can even serve as a prison, should the
locals prove troublesome!
Many governments at the start of the 19th Century were still using troops for
domestic policing duties, particularly against troublemakers in the new industrial factory
towns that were appearing. Soldiers were there to keep order and, in doing so, protect
the property of the wealthy middle and upper classes. This did not mean that having
troops barracked in a town was popular, even among those they were defending. While
it might be acceptable to invite a captain of dragoons to dine, soldiers were a group
apart and considered a necessary, sometimes very necessary, evil. The popularity of
soldiers was always tied to the perceived threats from foreign nations.

A drill school trains soldiers to obey standardised military procedures. It also allows military
units to be recruited.
Drill is not simply a means of keeping soldiers busy by having them march up and
down. On the battlefield all manoeuvres must be performed exactly, at the correct time,
if a unit is not to be shot down or cut to pieces. Every man must be drilled to perform
his part correctly when a unit moves from a line formation to square, else confusion will
result. Obedience to orders must be second nature: a soldier who is concentrating on
not attracting the attention of his sergeant will also be too busy to worry about the
enemy! Long hours of drill do have another, inadvertent benefit: men on a parade
ground are not in the local tavern.
Drill, for all its boredom for the men, was a vital practice for all armies of the
Napoleonic period. Even the armies of France realised that revolutionary zeal was not
enough, and some order had to be brought to battle. Many armies, however, were late
in adopting a single drill manual for their forces; for a few fortunate and literate
officers, this was a godsend. They could earn quite handsome additional funds by
producing privately written drill books.

A military academy trains young officers, and improves the recruitment of military
in most countries military command, especially in peacetime, is usually limited to the
sons of the ruling and propertied classes: only those with a significant stake in the
survival of a nation will defend it properly. However, the counter-argument is that
military matters are complicated, and "gentleman amateurs", even if extremely well
bred, may not be good enough. Military academies take in those who have talent, and
teach the theory and practice of the military art. The graduates, however, are sometimes
regarded as tradesmen because of this vulgar professionalism.
The French were the pre-eminent military power of Western Europe, and led the way in
military teaching with the creation of a "Ecole Militaire" in 1751 to educate promising
cadets from poorer backgrounds. It was later re-organised and re-named as the "Ecole
des Cadets-gentilshommes" or "School of Young Gentlemen", which neatly subverted
the original intent, although Napoleon Bonaparte was a graduate of the new school. On
the other hand, the United Kingdom's military schools mostly provided for the
orphans of officers, with no more than a vague hope that the pupils would follow their
fathers into the army.

A staff college trains officers in the strategies needed to win wars, and improves the recruitment of military units.
Tactics win battles, but running an army requires far more from the officers in charge.
It is not enough to get men to a battlefield: they must be armed, supplied, fed, shod,
and trained before any general can turn them into a victorious tool of the state.
In practice, this meant that officers were taught a wide range of skills, beyond being
able to organise a regiment. Apart from an understanding of strategy, officers were
taught military illustration, a vital skill of producing accurate sketch maps and
diagrams, some surveying, military law, horsemanship, weapons handling, and given
character-building instruction. This last item included instruction, when regrettably
necessary, in how to behave like a proper gentleman. In many countries, students were
expected to pay their own fees, partly to ensure that only the best families sent their
sons to the colleges. By all accounts, Napoleon Bonaparte did not listen to many lessons
in being a gentleman, or chose to behave like a parvenu boor on occasion in order to
annoy as many stuck-up dignitaries as possible!

Sensation and spectacle for the people can keep them occupied and entertained, not to mention distracted
from politics.
A night at the theatre is a bawdy, rambunctious, rowdy, exciting and novel experience.
It improves the happiness of all social classes and actually increases the town's wealth
slightly. Audiences are aggressively critical and show little respect: heckling is an art, and
performers play to their claques rather than follow the text. The chattering classes
eagerly await each new performance, each great actor-manager, and each new work.
Historically, theatres could mean a great deal of trouble for the authorities. Riots were
not uncommon if unpopular or provocative plays were staged, and David Garrick, the
leading light of the London stage, was once forced to kneel before a fickle audience.
They were in the process of completely wrecking his theatre and his livelihood! Because
of this public excitability, and the potential for subversive propaganda, in the interests
of "public morality" all governments closely monitored theatre performances. Indeed,
Great Britain only scrapped formal censorship of plays in 1968 when the Lord
Chancellor's Office no longer required London theatres to have its approval for every
production. The censorious instinct still runs deep in some countries and some
governments to this day.

Entertainment improves the happiness of all classes and helps to improve town wealth.
An opera house is a sumptuous theatre for the performance of highly stylized musical
plays. The self-important and the genuinely important often attend to be seen rather
than for amusement, but the "lower orders" are often genuinely entertained and
distracted from the difficulties of life. No expense is spared on making an opera house
a grand venue. They rival many great palaces with the luxury of their fixtures and
fittings, as the public areas for the audience are at least as important as what is
happening on stage. Having a prestigious opera house will improve town wealth as it
draws crowds from far and wide.
18th Century opera was done in the Italian "serious" style, a musical form that
influenced many non-Italian composers including Mozart. The plots were intentionally
simple, based on Classical themes, usually tragic and often had a highly conservative
bent – as befitted the tastes of the patrons paying for the music. Many are still
performed today. One fashion that mercifully ended before the Napoleonic period was
the use of castrati: young men gelded so that their voices did not break and remained
in the soprano range.

Many rulers in the 18th Century acted as a patron of the arts, and opera in particular.
Apart from being fabulously and famously expensive (therefore demonstrating the
patron's wealth), the musical form was also growing in popularity and quality. Music
advanced tremendously, with works from composers of genius such as Mozart, Handel
and Scarlatti. Composers dedicated their works to great men, carried away by
admiration or in the hope of patronage. The ideals of the French Revolution inspired
Beethoven when he was writing his third symphony, the "Eroica", but after Napoleon
crowned himself Emperor, Beethoven furiously scratched out the dedication to him.

Historically, private museums and displays had developed from the collections in
"cabinets of curiosities", and some of these had ended up as government or royal
property. The world-famous British Museum began in just this way, when Sir Hans
Sloane's collection was left to George II so that it could be preserved for the nation.
Now a wonderful collection of antiquities, the Museum was intended to be a universal
collection, and had natural history, geology, and science exhibits.

Pride in one's nation is a powerful thing, and what better way to instil national pride
than to build a structure that celebrates the great achievements of the country? Be it
past victories, advances in education and technology, or a collection of treasures, such
structures provide a stage to display achievements to the world. National standing
compared to other nations is vastly important in matters of diplomacy, so a public
demonstration of national power will improve prestige.
This theatre in the heart of Vienna was built thanks to the efforts of Emanuel
Schikander. Although he started as an actor he was soon leading his own company and
performing plays set to the music of Mozart. It was the Magic Flute, set to music by
Mozart, that propelled Schikander to the height of his fame. The play also helped in the
building of the Theater an der Wien: Schikander's lavish productions had outgrown the
smaller Theater auf de Wieden and required a more sumptuous setting. This need for
grandeur proved to be the downfall of Schikander, who eventually died penniless and
insane on the streets of Vienna.

The taxman is, for common people, the face and grasping fist of government.
A tax office is never a welcome sight, and adds slightly to the repression of the region
where it is found. It does, however, allow for more efficient tax collection and aids in
the recruitment of military units. It is a necessary evil for government: no matter what
the national constitution may be, or the political beliefs of the ruling classes, no
government can do anything unless it has money.
Taxation has always been the most resented part of government. Tax collectors often
had quite draconian powers, and could call upon the services of the military to
encourage the people to pay. This was often necessary, as taxes did not fall fairly on
every part of the community: the poor often paid far more in relative and absolute
terms, than the wealthy. The worst case was probably to be found in Spain, where the
nobility, the landed gentry and the wealthy simply never bothered to pay taxes at all.
The Napoleonic period also saw income tax levied for the first time in Great Britain in
1798. It was abolished in 1802, but governments tend to remember good ways of
getting money out of the people!

There may be a monarch or president on the coinage but, for most folk, the magistrate
is the man that really matters!
Law, order, and taxes are the basis of government. A magistrate is the government
embodied in one person: his duties mean that he can help collect taxes, repress the
people, and take their sons into the army, all at the same time. He is an administrator,
tax collector, thief-taker, instigator of charitable works, military recruiter and father
A magistrate usually represents the state and the landed classes, even in a republic.
Liberty and equality are all very well, but the rich need to be sure their wealth is secure.
Under Napoleon, magistrates in every district were carefully selected and monitored by
a Ministry of Justice, and used to keep an eye on disloyalty to the new regime. Often,
magistrates were sent to distant provinces, so that they had no local sympathies. In
Britain, the opposite tended to be the case: magistrates were selected from among the
local gentry, who knew their neighbours and tenants intimately. Magistrates also had the
power to call out troops to put down any civil disturbances, and to send convicted men
off to the military as punishment.

A court of justice is the government's power, set out in stone and marble, for the
people to respect and fear.
s such, this building adds significantly to the repression of the people in the region
where it stands. Further, because the forces of law and order are in intimate partnership
with the government's tax gatherers, a law court gives their demands for money even
more force. The tax gathered in a region also increases thanks to the court. Finally, the
judges here have the power to use civil law to help the military's authority and this
means that they can aid military recruitment, if only by the simple expedient of
sentencing wrongdoers to the ranks!
Social order is often more important than any amount of so-called liberty to the
smooth running of a nation. To modern eyes, a court of justice was surprisingly
parsimonious with the justice it dispensed: its purpose was to enforce laws that
protected the status quo, which did not have to be the same thing as "justice".
Receiving justice depended more upon the social class of the defendant or plaintiff,
and less upon clever legal argument or the law itself. Even in countries that prided
themselves on "liberty", such as Britain, the law courts were more interested in
protecting the rights of property rather than the rights of common and poor men.

The force of law, symbolised by this court, is a powerful weapon in a government's armoury.
The court is the power of the state rendered in magnificent fashion and, even if appeals
are successful, it helps keep order by greatly adding to the repression in the region.
Given that the state acts as prosecutor and pays the judges, who understand where
their duty lies, it is also an effective way of punishing those who choose not to support
the state. Legal sanctions back demands for tax, and there may be little point in a man
arguing against them. The courts also have the power to enforce military demands for recruits.
Without an appeals procedure, courts of law had no means of self-correction or review:
the decision of the judge was absolute and final. Appeals to a king, consul or president
were sometimes possible, but executive mercy was often whimsical and based on social
position or political expediency. In theory, an appeals court removed politics and social
standing from the application of law, although in practice this was rarely the case.
Simply put: a gentleman or merchant had the money to pay for an appeal, while a poor
man did not. This one fact alone made the courts a subtle tool of social repression and control.

A supreme court is the most magnificent setting for legal matters, but it is also a symbol of the rule of law.
And those laws may have a great deal to do with keeping the people in order, rather
than granting them life and liberty. This building adds greatly to the repression of the
people and, because of the sanctions that judgements here can impose, it also makes
the job of tax collection much more efficient. An errant taxpayer dragged before this
court should be in fear of losing more than just his purse! The threat of law is also the
sanction that is required for recruiting soldiery.
In addition to his military genius, Napoleon is also well known for his code of laws, the
Code Civil, that established an easily understood legal framework in 1805. This was not
the only law code that the Revolution produced. The Penal Code of 1791 simplified the
criminal justice system too. Despite being codes of justice, the codes were not all that
fair to everyone concerned: the accused in a criminal case, for example, was not
necessarily allowed a defence lawyer. By not being bound by precedent, cases were
argued on their apparent merits, not on whether previous legal judgements could be
used to sway the judge with the power of tradition.

improved greatly since 1700, as the invention of machine tools and better methods of
casting have made producing cannons a much safer occupation. The changes also mean
that the guns themselves are far more reliable. Their range and accuracy are vastly
better than early 18th century pieces, which were usually made using the same technique
as bell founding.
Before the 19th century advances in cannon production making guns, like any casting
work, was a dangerous business. If the sand moulds were even slightly damp then a
steam explosion could occur. Anyone nearby was likely to be killed or maimed by hot or
molten metal and pieces of the mould.

Ordnance Factory 兵器工場
Rwcruitment capacity :1
Enables recruitment and reppenishment of : 民兵 *砲兵 2砲兵
An ordnance factory designs and manufactures guns and their associated equipment.
The large-scale manufacturing of cannons is a monopoly retained by the state, even in a
republic. The creation of large guns is also a difficult business, and the state is the only
body that can afford to do it. The number of guns available is therefore a measure of
national prestige, and the ability to produce guns, rather than buy them from
foreigners, is equally prestigious. An ordnance factory allows artillery units to be recruited.
Historically, most ordnance factories began in royal ownerships, giving the monarch a
guaranteed access to heavy cannons. These were needed for destroying the castles of
recalcitrant barons! Even though politics moved on, the state control of cannon
production remained. In Britain, for example, the Master of the Ordnance was often a
member of the cabinet, and many royal households across Europe included a post of
Master Gunner. Even the Ottoman Turks, who had a strong tradition of heavy artillery
production, were careful to make sure the Sublime Porte had master gunners on staff.

.... to blogging that is.
I was really excited a few weeks ago when I did my last book update post. Because, I really really really enjoy blogging. The connections, the friendships, the outlet to highlight the awesome things (and the not-so-awesome things) I have had the chance to do with my life. Granted, over a year ago things were a lot more exciting (hello, Europe! exciting things every! day!) and I had a fair amount of "spare" time to sit down and document them.
And this summer? It was pretty darn exciting! I canoed down a whitewater river for six days! I climbed Mt. Washington (all 6,288 feet of it!)! I ran around in the sunshine and made summer an exciting time for a great group of girls!
But I never had a moment to breathe and pass on how cool it was to anyone else. Ask my parents, they know exactly how little I got to do anything other than camp! So, as I get back into life at the school I'm working at, I will slowly get back into this little world of blogging. Because? Really? I miss it, and I miss you all!

Introduction: Temporary Hack for Overheating Robo 3D R1
This instructable will show you a quick, easy (and Cheap!) temporary hack to keep you printing when your ramps fan dies on your Robo 3D R1 printer. All you need are some Legos, a phillips screwdriver, a small battery powered fan and some batteries.
I have been pushing my Robo harder than usual in the past couple of weeks working on some projects that I wanted to enter in the Mind for Design and 3D Printing contests. Unfortunately, during this process, my prints started failing miserably! I was unable to solve the problem in time to print the prototypes for Mind for Design, so I have since been troubleshooting/diagnosing.
The next little bit of info will explain a little about diagnosing my particular print issues. If you just want the fix, without the fluff, feel free to jump ahead to Step 1!
There were a couple of things that made diagnosis tough. First of all, the inconsistency in the failures. Sometimes it would just quit, other times it would skip layers and sometimes it would keep printing, but the Z would not move up, resulting in a smushed-up, globular mess! These fails (some quite epic, I might add!) seemed to occur without rhyme or reason, varying heights and varying times. Second of all, while researching this issue, I found out there could be numerous causes for such failures. And, wouldn't you know it, a majority of the possible causes were all relevant and coincided with the unfortunate timing of my printing problems!
Some known causes of these types of failures include:
- Power Surges-These can be caused by a new appliance recently plugged in or working harder, drawing from the power supplied to the printer. I had just plugged in my window AC for the first time this year. Tried turning off the AC-no luck! Also, my printer is on the same circuit as my refrigerator, which is working overtime now that it is warmer. Tried switching outlets-no luck! Ruled out power surges.
- Recently added Hardware or Software-Obviously, adding new things to your computer can make strange things happen! I had just gotten a new cable modem. Tried disconnecting the internet-no luck! I had also recently installed a few new design programs. Uninstalled those-no luck! Ruled out new hardware/software.
- Firmware Updates-Occasionally firmware updates have bugs that are not quite worked out. I had literally just updated my firmware, so I uninstalled it a reinstalled the previous version-no luck! Ruled out firmware updates.
- Computer Interrupts-Sometimes "handy" features like automatic updates and start-ups can cause misfires in your printing. While I hadn't had any issues with this in the past, perhaps a new automatically installed update to my start-up or running programs was sucking some of my pc usage. Manually went into the control panel and disabled automatic updates and shut down unnecessary running programs-no luck! Ruled out computer interrupts.
- Problems with the Z rods-Now my Z rods have been a bit wobbly and occasionally squeal, but upon recommendation on the Robo 3D forum I have been using 3-n-1 oil to keep them lubed up. Perhaps they were getting too gunked up causing some binding. Cleaned them off, applied a new, thin coat of 3-n-1 machine oil-no luck! Ruled out Z-rods.
- Bad USB Connection-USB connections are (as I recently discovered) notorious for causing print problems. Changed USB cords-no luck! The USB connector port on the Robo 3D R1, is a bit weak so I tried securing it-no luck! Now, I bet you're guessing I'm gonna say I ruled out USB, but no, actually, I still thought this could be an issue! Surprise twist! So, there was one more thing I could check.
- Overheating Stepper Motor Drivers-The new Robo 3D R1 has a small fan mounted directly below the Ramps Board on the newly added bottom cover of the printer. This fan has been known to burn out. So, I decided to kill two birds with one stone here. After watching a great tutorial by Barnacules Nerdgasm on YouTube (make sure to read his video description for a discount code) I ordered an XXL Smart LCD Controller from PrintedSolid (this would eliminate my need for a USB tether!) and decided as soon as it came in I would flip over the printer and remove the bottom to check the fan and install the LCD. Eureka! The fan was burnt out! Which now takes us back to the simple hack to keep printing until a new fan arrives!
Step 1: Check Your Fan!
Overheating stepper motor drivers can cause all kinds of bizarre issues. Two ways to help eliminate this problem-at least for the Robo 3D-are printing feet to raise up the printer allowing for better airflow and installing a fan to make sure that air keeps moving over the ramps board. Well, if your printer isn't working, it's kind of difficult to print the feet and, if you've already wasted a ton of time, you probably don't want to wait for a new fan to arrive to keep printing!
--IMPORTANT! Always unplug any electronic device before servicing! This includes the USB cord!--
- Grab a phillips screwdriver.
- Carefully flip your Robo 3D R1 on to its left side (the left side will position the ramps board and fan toward the top of your work area and make it more easily accessible) and remove the 6 screws that hold the bottom cover on. (When pulling off the cover do so slowly as the fan is screwed to the bottom cover and if you pull it off haphazardly you will pull the fan plug out and you want to make sure to see where and how it's plugged in!)
- When you are sure you can reconnect the fan go ahead and unplug it, this will make it easier to remove the fan screws from the cover!
- Once you remove the fan from the cover go ahead and plug it back into the board. Now to check the fan I wanted the printer to be upright, stable and, of course, plugged back in, so I needed to be able to raise up the printer in order to have access to fan while I powered it up. (Enter the feet-detailed in Step 2.)
- After you have placed your Robo on the feet, the fan should be dangling below the printer case. Plug in and power on the printer, the fan should come on. If it doesn't-there's your culprit!
Step 2: The Feet!
Search all over the house for four similar height objects you can shove under the printer to raise it up-OR-grab your handy-dandy box of Legos and construct some nifty feet! Unfortunately, I did not have enough white, black and blue bricks to maintain the Robo 3D color scheme for all four feet so my back feet are a little more colorful!
Because I feel most people can construct a solid rectangular box out of Lego's I will refrain from boring you with a step-by-step on this. But, the basic dimensions are as follows:
- The actual lifting area is a total of 8x10 studs, 5 bricks high with one layer of plates on the bottom to hold it all together nicely.
- On the top I centered a single 6x8 plate and a row of singles on the the outer two edges.
Note: If you don't have Lego's or a working 3D printer, you can order the feet from a local printer at 3d Hubs! You can grab the stl files here or, if you want/need taller feet, here.
Step 3: The Fan!
- Find one of those little battery operated fans we all have lying around the house (or thought we did until we needed it)-OR run to the store and pick one up!* (Don't forget to check what kind of batteries it uses and pick up some of those as well!)
- Experiment with the positioning of the fan until you get good airflow across the ramps board.
- Power on your printer, open your 3D software and conduct a test print.
With the feet and fan in place I had 3 successful prints in a row! Before this hack, I couldn't even get one! Great big sigh of relief. Now, I just have to wait for my new fan, but, luckily I can keep printing until it does. And, of course, I should print some feet-but now I kind of like the looks of my Lego feet, so, I may keep them! And-while I still need to do a bit of fine tuning after all of the adjustments and jostling-I'm happy!
*After three successful prints, I noticed the small fan I had just purchased was slowly winding down. I turned it off and pulled out the batteries to change them and they were incredibly hot! So, just a word of caution, if you happen to get the cheap little Dollar General fan I got, do not leave it unattended. And really, no matter what fan you get, you probably shouldn't leave it unattended.
Step 4: This Is Not So Much a Step As an Update.
While I really loved my foam petalled, battery overheating flower fan, I happened across this little "necklace fan" at Walmart today. I think it was around $6 or $7, so a few bucks more than the Dollar General fan, but much more compact. It has really good airflow and so far does not seem to be overheating.
Also, I'd like to give a shout out to MustangDave who created that adorable little puppy in my before and after shots. I printed the full size model for my Mother and it came out awesome. So, now I frequently use it, scaled down, for tests. The model in the photo is scaled down to 30%, so it does lose a little detail, but it is a wonderful scan and prints beautifully.
Thanks for checking out my instructable, hope you enjoyed it!

As someone whose childhood spanned the 50s and 60s I can still remember the days of steam trains, going on holiday to North Wales and the excitement of waiting for the steam train to arrive at Leigh station then boarding "compartment" carriages where you always tried to grab the window seats (none of this open space rubbish so beloved of modern day railway coach designers) to get the best view of the passing countryside (remember this was a time when very few working class families had cars and virtually no one left their local community).
Anyway, back to my story of yesterday and I finally got to "open" my Christmas present from last year which was a one day photography course to be spent on the East Lancashire Railway (based in Bury, Lancashire) with a ride on a steam train and an opportunity to visit the locomotive sheds and take photographs. What more could a man ask for?
So on a beautiful summers day, blue skies and wispy clouds I met up with the tutor for the day, Tony and my fellow photographer Harry (hope I have got your names right gentlemen) and we set off on a short train ride to Irwell Vale station where we alighted.
Crossing the line we then positioned ourselves on a hillside to await the arrival of the steam train. After some timely advice about "framing a shot" and being more creative outside of the automatic setting on my camera I prepared myself for the arrival of the train. Suddenly in the distance I could see the plumes of smoke and then into view came this most magnificent steam engine, burgundy coloured and polished to within an inch of its life.
We caught the steam train later in the day to transport us back to Bury station where we began our tour of the sheds where the locomotives undergoing renovation and repair were housed and behind four partitioned walls was the iconic "Flying Scotsman". It is hoped that the Scotsman will be back running by the end of 2015. It is a little strange that I am always a little underwhelmed by the Flying Scotsman when I see it ……….perhaps it is my memories of the old Britannia Class trains which were such magnificent "beasts" that puts the Scotsman in the shade!
The highlight of this part of the day for me was a visit to the working signal box and its marvellous multi-coloured levers (almost a work of art), which were explained to me in detail by the very helpful gentleman staffing the signal box that day.
I was also able to catch images of old trains, boilers, carriages and what appeared to be a lot of junk but which I was reassured would all be put to good use.
So many thanks to Tony and colleague Harry for such an excellent day and not least the staff (a nod to Richard who acted as our guide at the sheds) and hundreds of volunteers who maintain this important part of our industrial heritage, long may it continue.

Great game! I found it quite easy has it is very easy to avoid being pushed too far. Great concept . Good job
Love the hectic feel to it
Browser: Waterfox (lightweight firefox)
Doesn't work for me :P
Not very challenging concept.
Nice! A bit too easy but a cool new idea!
Also getting the js error.
Game throws a js error on Play. Running on Chrome.
Too hard for me, but still a good game. :)
Got an error trying to run in Firefox.

Cool mechanic. Could have done with music during the actual game, but your choice for the menu was fitting.
Only big complaint is that it's too easy. When you do slide of the screen, it's anticlimatic and you don't really feel anything, but you can stay on as long as you play safe.
Its a fun little game, had to read the instructions twice to understand what to do. Only thing that I would change is the speed at which you can swap shade.

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it'll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you're a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn't mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn't support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it's an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that's okay. It happens. We're flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like "porting" to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN'T SHOW UP: If you can't find your game, it's usually because the URL to your downloads are missing 'http://'. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it's because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select "Empty Cache and Hard Reload". This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
