Matsuura automation
Matsuura is a Japanese manufacturer of various milling machines. Considering automating your Matsuura with a loading robot? If so, Cellro's Xcelerate is the right solution for you. Whether the machine involved is new or an existing machine, Cellro can automate 3-, 4-, and 5-axis Matsuura milling machines, allowing you to achieve more spindle hours and generate more output.
Which Matsuura machines can Cellro automate?
Cellro has the most experience in automating machines from the Matsuura MX series. Matsuura MX series machines load from the front. Xcelerate can be combined with all sorts of Matsuura machines to process small to medium-sized batches unmanned. Current Xcelerate users commend the loading robot's user-friendliness and flexibility. Cellro also previously automated a Matsuura machine using Skid for MCM Liessel.
The machines operate together seamlessly thanks to close collaboration between Matsuura and Cellro. Matsuura uses the Fanuc control system on all their machines. For Cellro, it's a simple matter to link a loading robot to a CNC machine with Fanuc control. This makes the decision to automate a Matsuura even more attractive. With Cellro's robot loading system, the Matsuura machine can keep working day and night.
High precision with an automated Matsuura
Matsuura normally removes the table on their 5-axis milling machines. The table is usually grooved to allow for mounting and machining of specific parts at various places on the table. When a CNC machine is automated, a pallet is placed in the machine and the items to be milled are positioned on this pallet.
This combination of a table, a zero-point clamping system, a clamp and a workpiece wastes a lot of space. Matsuura therefore omits the table, mounting the zero-point clamping system directly on the fifth axis. This improves accuracy and provides a larger machining workspace.
Want to automate a Matsuura? We will be happy to advise you.

The right lighting has the ability to completely transform and improve a space; it helps set the mood and tone of your wedding ceremony and reception. It's important to choose lighting the suites your taste and your style, but that also works well within the venue you've chosen.
Lighting specialists, such as Get Lit Special Event Lighting, work with area brides and grooms to rent the lighting they require, or in many cases, create handmade custom works that are inspired by their vision.
We asked Get Lit about the latest trends and how to use event lighting and chandeliers to enhance modern Southern weddings. They also gave some tips on the most important factors to consider when planning your lighting needs. Get Lit handmade and designed the beautiful chandeliers pictured below.
Trendy Industrial Lighting
You've already likely noticed industrial design esthetic finding its way into wedding design. Get Lit fulfills many requests for barn shroud lighting, and the Edison bulb trend continues to be strong. "These items are not readily available in the event rental business, so brides and wedding planners come to specialty lighting businesses like us with an inspiration photo or general description and we create custom fixtures," shares Terri Watson, co-owner of Get Lit. In addition to fitting traditional chandeliers with Edison bulbs, there is also interest in fixtures that are a combination of wood and metal and Edison bulbs, as brides pull inspiration from popular retailers like Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn.
Get Lit also finds the use of traditional chandeliers in combination with other styles of lighting, such as a twinkle light ceiling lights or draping market lights, a popular trend at the moment.

An outdoor garden, a modern museum or a church reception hall can all serve as a wonderful background for specialty light fixtures. Some settings truly benefit, dare we say need, the addition of beautiful hanging chandeliers. "Tents, for example, are often not appealing on their own and some brides see them as a necessary evil. The addition of decor elements help soften the look of all the hardware, and a chandelier can be a big part of the transformation in both creating a visual centerpiece for the space, as well as casting a soft romantic light on everything around it," Watson shares.Photo by Get Lit
Customize to Fit Your Style
Chandeliers are easily customized to a bride's/groom's design preference. Begin by choosing the design of the chandelier itself, such as traditional, rustic or modern, which can be further defined by lighting elements.
Get Lit carries traditional crystal chandeliers with white, black and crystal bodies or European brass and black velvet. Traditional style with a whimsical flare can be achieved with its gold leaf and crystal chandelier, which looks right at home in a garden setting or a country club.
A "rustic" look may mean Get Lit creates handmade votive chandeliers with metal wrought oak leaves and rustic beam chandeliers in impressively sized 5-foot octagons topped with pillar candles, or it may be fisherman's globe pendants.
The "modern" look can be achieved with hundreds of glass balls suspended with invisible filament or cube chandeliers handmade from extruded box steel, which can be painted in gold or other colors. Get Lit also has custom-painted barn shrouds in turquoise to create a modern industrial pendant hanging light. Art deco is modern again – a simple graduated rectangular design fits well in a variety of settings. Fabric and flowers can also be added to customize a look.

Consider This
When planning for your lighting needs, there are a few important factors to take into consideration.
1. What does the event space already provide and how can this be complemented? Or, if you are not in love with the look it has, can it be changed or removed? "Some clients wish to accentuate the existing style of the space, or bring the style of nearby architecture into their reception space," says Watson. "For example, we were recently asked to add art deco elements to a tent at The Biltmore Estate. In other cases, you can bring elegance into a barn."
Keep in mind that lighting can completely change a space. If the venue is right for you in terms of location, budget, and availability, but is somewhat lacking in design, the right lighting elements have the ability to transform the space into your dream venue!
2. Size matters. "A fixture should be proportional to a space so it does not become lost or overwhelm the area," Watson advises. For this reason, Get Lit has made a number of their chandeliers themselves so that they have fixtures large enough for large spaces. "We've taken traditional size and style elements and upsized them to be appropriate for different event venues," she adds. Combining elements can also help visually enhance a venue in proportion appropriate to the space. Lighting elements should also be considered in context with the other decor elements being use.
3. Keep cost in mind. According to Get Lit, pricing for chandelier lighting fixtures ranges from $100 – $300, with additional installation/administration fees that vary based on the location of the venue and venue infrastructure. These fees can add anywhere from $200-$500 for a local job (this is not a per fixture rate as it's rare they are hired to install only one or two chandeliers). "We typically provide additional lighting elements as well," says Watson.Photo by Get Lit

Live Stage: Ankerblock
[ Los Angeles]
Sound in Space: AnkerBlock – Thomas Ankersmit and Phill Niblock :: February 27, 2008; 8 pm :: Sea and Space Explorations, 4755 York Blvd, LA, CA :: Bring earplugs – Ankersmit and Niblock rip a hole in the space time continuum.
Thomas Ankersmit (born 1979, Leiden, the Netherlands) is a musician and installation artist based in Berlin and Amsterdam. Initially a noise-music inspired saxophonist, his activities expanded to include live electronic music and installation pieces based on architectural acoustics and infrasound. He has been performing solo and in collaboration with other artists such as New York minimalist Phill Niblock, Kevin Drumm, Jim O'Rourke, Gert-Jan Prins, Borbetomagus and Alvin Lucier since 1998. Since 2003, Ankersmit most frequently collaborates with Phill Niblock and Milan-based electroacoustic improviser Giuseppe Ielasi.
Phill Niblock (born 2 October 1933, in Anderson, Indiana) is a minimalist composer, filmmaker, videographer, and director of Experimental Intermedia, a foundation for avant-garde music based in New York. His music usually consists of simultaneous drones created from tape (later computer) manipulations of recorded pitches performed by instrumentalists such as Rafael Toral, David First, Lee Ranaldo, and Thurston Moore, on Guitar Too, for Four (G2,44+1×2); and Ulrich Krieger, on Touch Food.
Sound in Space Explorations, an indiscriminate month of sound performances until March 1, 2008. All events are Free: Sound in Space will traverse diversity by presenting cross sections of the local sound art community. From sound installation to Fluxus note card pieces and field recordings to live ambient music, the topography of the musical fringe is as varied as the community is geographically dispersed.
This is a program for the community by artists in the community. Every performance is free with an aim to urge active collaboration and exchange between artists and audiences. While the sea and space are the dark unknowns, they don't have to be unknowable. Sound in Space are vehicles with which the community is invited to navigate and explore art that has been termed "experimental," or "conceptual;" loose terms that create a barrier rather than extend a hand.

SME engineers, recognising the potential of the latest complementary equipment, accepted the challenge to design and build a tonearm which, unlike others around, would make no detectable sound contribution of its own. The work took almost four years and the measure of its success is the acceptance of the Series V precision pick-up arm by technical experts and users as one of the world's truly great audio products. The Series V sound has an almost startling dynamic range and neutrality enabling high levels to be enjoyed. It escapes the 'LP' sound and demonstrates that structural resonances in tonearms are responsible for much that makes vinyl records readily discernible from master tapes.
Structurally inert the Series V embodies every worthwhile feature in a pick-up arm. As part of a complete system working in concert with a comparable turntable and cartridge it will provide wide range transparent reproduction of vinyl L.P's, bringing the listener audibly closer to the clarity and dynamics of the original performance.
Unique one-piece pressure die-cast tone-arm utilising the advantages of magnesium, replace conventional fabricated construction.
Internal constrained layer damps minute residual vibration leaving the tone-arm acoustically inert.
Dynamic balance graduated vertical tracking force (VTF) control applies 0-3g x 0.125g through resonance controlled spring.
Unique assembly gives high rigidity and allows bearings to be critically adjusted before tone-arm is fitted.
Anti-skate control operates through tension spring and filament. Dial corresponds with VTF and has positive OFF position.
Lowering/raising control gives smooth positive action. Height of lift can be adjusted.
Dual-lock base provides movement control with high rigidity.
Tungsten-alloy balance weight carried on damped two-point suspension. Extra-low inertia design assists warp riding.
Swivelling damped output socket minimises vibration transmission in sub-chassis use.
Fine adjustment of arm height (VTA).
Fine adjustment of horizontal tracking angle (HTA).
New design alignment protractor sets HTA with greater accuracy.

An assessment of how rising healthcare costs are causing employers to seek new solutions to improve the health of their employees with an overview of the key industry trends.
Since our inception in 1996, industry knowledge has been the cornerstone of TripleTree's growing business. Our strategy has been to develop industry knowledge through in-depth research and to leverage that knowledge to provide our clients with customized investment banking services. The combination of thoughtful analysis of trends in the marketplace and practical interactions with the companies driving those trends is powerful. It allows us to bring unique, timely insights to each client engagement.
TripleTree has spent the last nine months analyzing a sector we feel is an area of emerging promise and one which we are uniquely qualified to cover - the Health & Wellness industry. TripleTree's Health & Wellness practice represents the convergence of our emerging human capital management focus with our longstanding healthcare background. We leverage years of collective knowledge, vision and relationships to provide in-depth strategic and financial advisory services.
The re-emergence of rapid double-digit increases in healthcare insurance premiums has made every business owner intent on gaining some sort of control over these costs. In the long run, the best strategy to control cost is to address the underlying factors that contribute to employee population health, but these factors are often overlooked. The focus of the Health & Wellness field is to create healthcare cost reduction through the combination of targeted interventions for the chronically ill with programs focused on illness prevention and health promotion for the remaining "at risk" population.
Attitudes and lifestyle choices often contribute to poor health and subsequent higher healthcare costs. Americans are working more, eating more and exercising less. Obesity has reached epidemic proportions. Depression, stress and fatigue are all too common. The Health and Wellness industry provides products, strategies and interventions to assist employees and consumers to rethink some of their lifestyle choices and to take the necessary steps to prevent illness and promote more healthy living.
This report provides a detailed analysis of the Health and Productivity Management category, including examples of real organizations, large and small, that are leading the way in the marketplace. These examples have been selected as indicative of where we believe the market is headed. The report also offers our thoughts on how these companies will affect established players in other key segments, including human capital management (HCM), consumer driven healthcare (CDH), disease management and several smaller sub-segments within the healthcare industry.
The dynamic and fast growing Health & Wellness industry will gain increased attention and investment over the coming months. Our research has uncovered numerous developments and various trends within the industry, providing our reader with a solid basis for decision making and understanding of this constantly evolving business landscape.

With the objective of preparing the cities for the deployment of electric light vehicles (EL-Vs), ELVITEN held two workshops in the city of Genoa. The first activity took place in May 2018 and a second workshop was coordinated on 27 September. During both workshops, ELVITEN partners had the opportunity to introduce the project to an specialised public, interested parties and relevant city authorities.
The first workshops brought together relevant stakeholder such as Stefano Balleari, deputy mayor of the Municipality of Genoa who emphasized in the city commitment of increasing electromobility plans and deploying new infrastructure and incentives for citizens to use the services. Furthermore, the mobility manager of the Municipality explained the mobility plan of the city, the territory and its network of roads highlighting the importance of ELVITEN.
A special contribution was done by project partner Duferco Energia who explained its role in the project. They were tasked to create a charging hub (24 EL-V charging point, 10 charging points for bikes, one column with two charging point for EVs) and a charging island EL-V. In addition, they explained the usefulness of the location of the hubs in the city and the IoT solution adopted for the booking of the charging points.
As part of the ELVITEN consortium, T-Bridge also made a presentation referring to the ELECTRA project that paved the way for urban electromobility in Genoa, through the study and experimentation of specific tools and actions.
Participants pointed out the importance of improving the city infrastructures and services an expressed their interest in participate in the different ELVITEN activities.
Although the second workshop pursued the same objective of introducing ELVITEN to local stakeholders, a great focus was put on the EPPI Platform for positive incentives. T-Bridge performed a demo of the SmartApp showing how the final users can monitor and manage their wallet of points collected and the possible awards to be reached. This workshop had the participation of companies such as Quaeryon who are developing the incentive scheme in the city of Genoa and Softeco who showed and performed a demo of the operator web app that shall be used by municipalities' representatives during the implementation phase for the activities.
As a final point, the Municipality of Genoa described the permanent showroom that will be implemented within the ELVITEN project. The Municipality will provide the space for the project promotion and in which Regional Support Groups will be invited to advertise their business.

A once-laid back fishing town, it has with the help of good marketing, become a magnet for Northern Europeans and UK residents as a package vacation spot or a place to retire with a lower cost of living. There are Spanish tourists too - day-trippers from Granada and young people partying at the beach. With the expansion of the European Union, more Eastern Europeans have been drawn here too by the sub-tropical climate where the sun shines at least 320 days of the year.
Get in[edit]
Almuñecar is equidistant from both Granada and Malaga airports, 55 minutes by car on the newly extended highway.
By bus[edit]
One of the cheapest ways to get to Almuñecar is by bus. If you are flying in to Malaga airport you can get the train from the airport to Malaga centre, the journey lasts 8 minutes and is frequent. You can check the timetables here[2]. Once at Malaga centre the bus station is around the corner from the train station, a bus ticket costs about €7 and the timetables can be found here.[3]
By taxi[edit]
An alternative means of transport is a taxi, it is without doubt the fastest and most comfortable means of transport to get to your destination, once you have arrived your driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall holding an official sign with your name clearly printed on it, the driver helps you with your luggage to your vehicle and you are away, you receive a hassle free ride especially after a tiring day, Pre-Book Your Malaga Airport Transfers to Almunecar cost's €85 you can book with Malaga Cabbie,if you are flying in to granada airport and would like to pre book a taxi to Almunecar you can do so with 2 spain transfers.
Get around[edit]
The local bus transportation is quite good, but alas there is no train service - yet.
See[edit][add listing]
The sights can be taken in within a day. They include the partial walls of an ancient Phoenician and Roman fish-salting factory (4th c. B.C. to 4th c. A.D.), the ruins of San Miguel castle, municipal museums, and a stretch of beaches along the motorway. The "Keys of Almunecar" exhibit in the Casa de Cultura is closed as of June 2016 for renovations. The modest museum at the "Cave of Seven Palaces" is perhaps a 30 minute visit with one room and about a dozen showcases. The "Loro Sexi" Park has parrots, and the Bonzai Park has bonsai. The "Sexi" part of the name refers to the ancient Phoenician name of the town.

There are several 3, 4 and 5 star hotels in the area, as well as hostels. Air conditioning is highly recommended in the summer unless you don't mind heat, noise, motor exhaust, and smoke from the occasional hill fire. The Almunecar Plaza Hotel has a hydrologic spa with sauna and Turkish-style baths. And if wellness is of interest, in the area there are several practitioners of Reiki, massage, personality building, life coaching and so on.

Ezra Koenig Makes Mandala-Shaped Pancakes In "Harmony Hall" Video: Watch
By Katrina Nattress
February 20, 2019
While we wait on Vampire Weekend's February song delivery, the band gifted us with the visuals for its latest single "Harmony Hall." The video features frontman Ezra Koenig making some pretty fancy mandala-shaped pancakes as a bright green snake slithers over melons, kiwis, and wouldn't you know it — pancakes — on a wooden table.
Though the singer's cooking show is the clip's main focus, it jumps around to scenes of the full band playing in a candlelit room, and a girl jumping around with her hair spinning around her in a transfixing sort of way, among other quick snippets. Once the delectable breakfast is all ready, Koenig invites his friends over to dine and we see the band members munching on the artisan sweets. (Eagle-eyed fans may also spot a cameo from actor Jonah Hill, which is perhaps a teaser to Vampire Weekend's upcoming "Sunflower" video?)
Watch the "Harmony Hall" video below, and will someone please send it to David Crosby so he can finally figure out who Vampire Weekend is?
Vampire Weekend is slated to release its fourth studio album, Father of the Bride, this spring and embark on a subsequent tour in May. Check out tour dates here.

Potty-Mouthed Dog Mamas Will Love the Sh*t Out of These Profane Pet Products
Let's face it: no one knows us as well as our pets do. They know when we sneak into the kitchen for a secret late-night snack after everyone else has gone to bed, they hear our hour-long phone calls b*tching about the kids, and most importantly, they know how much we curse. It's truly a good thing that our four-legged family members aren't keeping track of the frequent F-bombs we release every time we have to pick up a big poop.
In honor of all the "sh*ts" and "f*cks" we utter that our pets let slide, we figured it was only fair for them to get in on the swearing fun, and found some of the coolest, curse-infused pet products on the internet. From "F*ck off" bandanas to "I'm an assh*le and ran away" collar tags, and everything else in between, these items are sure to make any potty-mouthed pet feel right at home.

Wonderful setup. Bravo. Guess the dog has a little time before the plants take over her bedroom. hehehe....
I think the dog actually likes the plants. For some reason, when both of my cats were living, they loved being next to the plants in my bay window. I was lucky enough that they both were not destructive at all. I actually found them smelling the blooms a few times.
Maisy, our doggy is such a good sport- that room tends to accumulate lots of stuff in it. As long as she has room to sit on the bed, she likes to look out the window and bark at the doggy across the street if she is out in her yard.
Great setup Meg. I guess others got to the "does the dog attack your orchids or vice versa" already.
What's the general consensus, would cats or dogs be better with our orchid babies?
Nice light cart!!! I wanted to get one of those so bad, but they are a serious investment!!

The Hollies, Animals & Johhny Cash Among September re-issues
Sundazed Music is releasing 5 new re-issues from the swingin' 60's in September.
Johnny Cash is getting his 2 LIVE classic prison albums (At Folsom Prison & At San Quentin) pressed on 180 gram "true stereo" vinyl.
The Animals are getting thier 5th M~G~M studio album called "Animalizm" re-issued on 180 gram in "true stero" also. This album was partially recorded in Los Angles and was actually supervised by Frank Zappa. Though it had no top 40 hit singles, it is considered their strongest work and this album flows really well. Eric Burdon just smokes on Smokestack Lightning. Case Closed.
There are 2 other British Invasion releases coming out by The Hollies. They are the first 2 Imperial Records albums. Both are re-issued here on 180 gram in original MONO instead of the "fake stereo". Please note that these are the U.S.A. versions, not the U.K. ones (they had different covers and different tracks).
Here I Go Again was a big hit for them, but this 1st album (titled "Here I Go Again"), also has their other hit, the cover of Doris Troy's "Just One Look" (also covered in fine fashion by Linda Ronstadt). The other tracks on this album are mostly covers for filler.
The 2nd album called "Hear! Here!" is (to me) a much stronger album. It has the wonderful "I'm Alive" & "Look Through Any Window" with harmony vocals that usally rock me outta my chair. Again, this album has cover versions for some filler as was common practice in the 60's
That's Sundazed September for now folks
Here is a BIG, BIG release right before the Holidays by Rhino/Warner Brothers:
The Grateful Dead: The Warner Brothers Studio Albums on 180 gram vinyl pressed at RTI!!!
This is a 5 LP Box Set and it includes the following studio albums:
1) The Grateful Dead (1967)
2) Anthem Of The Sun (1968, featuring the original rare mixes)
3) Aoxomoxoa (1969, also featuring the original rare mixes)
4) Workingman's Dead (1970)
5) American Beauty (1970)
The Anthem Of The Sun & Aoxomoxoa LP's haven't been available on vinyl for nearly 40 years.
This Box Set is being released as a 40th Anniversary of the landmark albums Workingman's Dead & American Beauty.
This Box Set also features a Hard-Shell book with new insightful liner notes, replicas of the original albums and many unpublished photos. The re-mastering was done by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering.
The Grateful DEAD never sounded so ALIVE on vinyl.
Even though I'm not a DeadHead or even a casul fan of their music, THIS IS JUST TOO TEMPTING..I'LL TAKE IT!

If Hurricane Andrew, the unbelievably powerful storm that ripped a deadly trail of destruction across Miami-Dade county, had any lessons for Florida, it was that living by the ocean can come at a substantial cost.
At the time, it was by far the most expensive hurricane to ever to impact the US. Andrew caused an estimated $15bn in insured losses in the state and changed the way insurance companies assessed their exposure to risk for weather-related events.
Many of the lessons that Florida has learned since then see parallels in the unfolding disasters in Texas and Puerto Rico, experts say, and what was already a trend toward factoring in environmental threats and climate change to land and property values looks certain to become the standard nationwide as Naples and Puerto Rico begin to clean up from the misery of Irma.
Will Florida Real Estate Trends Shift?
"The question is whether people are going to be basing their real estate decisions on climate change futures," said Hugh Gladwin, professor of anthropology at Florida International University, who says his research suggests higher-standing areas of Miami are becoming increasingly gentrified as a result of sea level rise.
"In any coastal area there's extra value in property, [but] climate change, insofar as it increases risks for those properties from any specific set of hazards – like flooding and storm surge – will decrease value."
Miami Beach in particular has become a poster child for the effects of climate change, with some studies making grim predictions of a 5ft sea level rise by the end of the century and others suggesting that up to $23bn of existing property statewide could be underwater by 2050.
To counter those effects and preserve property values, Miami Beach has embarked on an ambitious and costly defensive programme that includes raising roads and installing powerful new pumps to shift the ever more regular floodwaters.
Even so, there are indications that investors are already looking to higher ground elsewhere in the city, such as the traditionally poor, black neighbourhoods of Little Haiti and Liberty City. "The older urban core was settled on the coastal ridge and anything below that was flooded. The coastal ridge we're talking about is clearly gentrifying," Gladwin said.
Or, as the journal Scientific American put it in its own investigation in May: "Real estate investment may no longer be just about the next hot neighbourhood, it may also now be about the next dry neighbourhood."
Other analysts cite recent storms including Harvey, as well as Sandy, which wrecked areas of New Jersey and New York in 2012, as evidence.
"You have folks in south Florida buying houses in North Carolina and Tennessee, because they like the scenery but also because it's high ground. If south Florida drops off into the ocean, they'll have a place to go," said Andrew Frey, vice-chairman of the south-east Florida/Caribbean Urban Land Institute and a Miami real estate developer.
"The more frequent these volatile superstorms become, the more people will look to build in safer places. If seas are rising three millimetres a year that's one thing, but if we're getting superstorms every couple of years with greater frequency and intensity, things can change a lot faster."
Such concerns have fuelled demand for data-driven analysis and climate aggregation services that offer real estate advice to clients ranging from large corporations, state and local governments to farmers and individual house buyers.
One such number-crunching company, the San Francisco-based Climate Corporation, which collates and analyses National Weather Service data mostly for clients in agriculture, has previously warned that it would take only "a few climatic events in a row" for a collapse in property values "that will make the housing crisis [of 2008] look small".
Its assessment is backed by Albert Slap, president and co-founder of Coastal Risk Consulting, a Florida firm that provides flood risk analysis reports. Slap said Harvey was only the latest natural disaster to expose flaws in the national flood insurance programme allowing property owners in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's so-called Zone X – areas at risk of a once-in-500-years flood event – not to carry coverage or fully disclose their flood risk when they sell.
"With storm surge and heavy rainfall increasing and climate and sea level rise, the system is just not working," he said.
"Millions more people need flood insurance than have it and the crazy thing about Houston was only 15% of those who were flooded had flood insurance. The risk communication is not enough.
"You have thousands of properties in Norfolk, Annapolis, Atlantic City, Savannah, Charleston and Miami Beach where part of the property goes underwater with seawater for days at a time. When you have fish swimming in your driveway, it's not an amenity, like a swimming pool. It means you're driving through saltwater to get your kids to school, get to the supermarket, whatever you're going to do.
"Will there be a massive decline in the property values of the flooded areas in Houston? Common sense would say yes. And if that's combined with new legislation that's going to require full disclosure, then wow."

Brighton & Hove's honey is raw – so not pasteurised and retains all the minerals and health benefits. It's delicious and a healthier alternative to sugar.
Mickelmus Blackman started beekeeping from one hive in his garden in Hove and quickly developed to a few hives before starting his ethical, sustainable beekeeping enterprise.
From his hives dotted around Brighton and Hove, we have the wonderful raw honey – both set and runny.
From his work with other farms in the Sussex area, Mickelmus also produces English Heather Honey and English Borage Honey.
Honey is a sweet, thick liquid made by honeybees. The bees collect sugar – mainly the sugar-rich nectar of flowers – from their environment. It is low in minerals and vitamins, but may be high in some plant compounds.
Honey contains many important antioxidants. These include organic acids and phenolic compounds like flavonoids.
Eating honey may lead to modest reductions in blood pressure, an important risk factor for heart disease.
When applied to the skin, honey can be part of an effective treatment plan for burns, wounds and many other skin conditions. It's recommended as a natural anti-bacterial face wash instead of soap and a shampoo to help ease dandruff – although these remedies sound a bit sticky, we're fans of ditching sudsy shampoos so will keep you posted as to how this works – here's the recipe.
Runny Honey, Raw Honey, English Heather Honey

Muir's dad, always relied on a Victorian cough syrup remedy passed down from his mother. It sounds awful but tastes amazing and really does work without resorting to chemical cough soothers for these mid-season colds.
- Chop an onion and put in a layer in a tub
- Mix a spoonful of honey into the mix
- Leave for a few hours
- The sugars from the honey will draw out the onion juices – just take a spoonful as and when needed to soothe sore throats and coughs
No chemicals necessary here but have to mention that you shouldn't give raw honey to a baby under a year old.

Raw Cider Vinegar and Elderberry Vinegar
Elderberry Vinegar
Elderberries have been used for centuries as an immune boosting ingredient in traditional medicine throughout Europe and the Americas. Probably, as studies have shown, they are have wonderful anti-inflammatory properties and are rich in vitamins and minerals.
Jane, one of our famous Hedgewitches, combines raw elderberries with cider vinegar and stevia to create her beautiful immune boosting vinegar.
Raw and preservative free, a spoonful of this a day should keep the lurgies away.
It's great to toss into salads. They can be used to make a delicious tea or syrup. They can also be added to baked goods such as muffins and pancakes, as well as herbal remedies.
Raw Cider Vinegar
Raw (unpasteurised cider vinegar) containing the vinegar mother. Produced and bottled by Ringden Farm at Flimwell, East Sussex.
Cider vinegar is well known for health properties, cleaning and washing. The health benefits of using raw cider vinegar are improved by using vinegar containing the vinegar 'mother' – the cellulose produced by harmless vinegar bacteria.
Most manufacturers pasteurise the vinegar before bottling to remove this as it is 'unsightly'…although it's a natural part of the fermentation and contains useful enzymes.
Ringden Farm have been harvesting apples and making fresh juices from their orchard for 50 years now and is managed by Chris and his son, John Dench. Bentley's is their new name created to celebrate Bentley Dench who established the farm half a century ago.

Advanced Neurotherapy: Better Behavior, Better Grades, Better Connections
Aug 29, 2018 07:29PM
By Gina Cronin
School has returned, marking another year of possibilities—the possibility to make new friends, learn new things, or, for some, struggle with everything from getting ready in the morning to doing homework at night. These struggles can be a source of immense frustration not only for a kid, but his or her parents, siblings and peers as well. The home and the classroom—places that have potential for harmony and growth—can become places of unrest.
"Many kids have anxiety, ADHD, and a variety of related behavioral issues," explains Dr. Jolene Ross, Ph.D., of Advanced Neurotherapy, in Needham Heights. "The executive functions, which exist in the frontal lobe of the brain and run the entire show, may be compromised—causing difficulty with cause and effect thinking, emotional control, impulse control, focus and motivation."
The rise of technology has only intensified these issues. As pre-teens and teens spend four, five, even more than six hours per day in front of a screen, the development of the frontal lobe—again, the executive center that teaches a human how to live in society—is suppressed. Instead, the sensory motor strip and the back of the brain are emphasized; areas of the brain that develop the hand and visual centers as a result of using the electronic device, but contribute less to improved executive function, group interaction, creativity or task completion.
Parents may be compelled to see a conventional doctor and receive a prescription for conventional medication; but, as research reviewed by the American Academy of Pediatrics shows, medication is a short-term solution to anxiety, ADHD and related problems. "Medication is not corrective care," says Ross. "It may temporarily improve behavior and IQ, but kids typically revert back when they discontinue use."
Neurotherapy, an integrative therapy developed in the late 1950s by Dr. Barry Sterman of UCLA, is a safe, non-invasive and corrective brain-mapping/training procedure that, according to the National Institutes of Health, helps treat ADHD, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, insomnia, drug addiction, schizophrenia, learning disabilities, dyslexia and more. Over the past two decades, Ross has studied more than 3,500 brain maps in order to pinpoint problems in the brain and figure out exactly what parts of the brain need to work more efficiently.
The neurotherapy sessions begin with an intake, where Ross gathers information from her patient and learns if there is a particular cause for the issues—be it complications at birth, brain trauma, food sensitivities, infection or Lyme disease. She then performs the highly sophisticated, computerized EEG brain map, which monitors the child's brainwaves. While being monitored, kids will be asked to perform basic tasks such as reading, listening (being read to), closing their eyes, drawing, doing math at their level and more.
Once the data is gathered, Ross follows up with a report, and reviews pictures and graphs with the parent and the child if old enough, to decide related goals and targets. The next step is beginning a series of highly personalized neurofeedback sessions. "Neurofeedback monitors the electrical output of the brain and rewards the brain for good brainwaves," says Ross. "By using a simple reward system, kids can actually alter their brain activity and enhance brain function and development." Each session, about an hour long, involves watching images or videos on a computer, and good brain waves are rewarded with a sound and a change on the screen, such as the gradual completion of a puzzled image.
Over the course of the sessions the brain is trained and functioning improves. "Parents are amazed by the results—and will excitedly call to tell me 'he started his homework,' or 'he cleaned his room,' or 'she made a new friend,'" says Ross. When brain function is optimized, kids can focus better in school, maintain better social connections and improve in everything from math to sports to poetry. Even when the neurofeedback sessions end, the brain continues on an accelerated trajectory for months.
"I love discovering what's really going wrong in a child's brain and correcting it, so that they don't have to spend their entire life fighting it," says Ross.
Advanced Neurotherapy is located at 145 Rosemary St., Needham Heights. For more information, call 781-444-9115 or visit AdvancedNeurotherapy.com.

Successful Ecommerce Black Fridays
Black Friday and Cyber Monday may feel like a chore to many businesses, but for online retailers, the low prices on offer that day can give your business a shot in the arm. There are many possible ways to improve the outlook for your bottom line. Let's look at some of the potential areas for success.
Loss Leaders and Special Deals
When setting up Black Friday campaigns, remember that unless you are using certain desirable items to draw in the customer's, then you need to ensure that the sale is profitable. But consider your longer-term goals. If you are in a business where customers stay loyal to your brand and place regular or ongoing orders, then it is worth considering that special, enticing product that you are selling at a knock-down price, as part of your cost of acquisition. In most markets, where there is more flexibility in brand allegiance, or where repeat sales are few and far between, you will need to make each sale profitable (or at the very least reach a break-even point).
PPC on Black Friday
If you are offering a product at an unbelievable price, and without any catches or clauses, then be ready to sell quickly. Consider if you wish to continue running PPC, in the hope that customers buy alternatives, or if you wish to stop the PPC campaigns once the headline stock is sold.
Server Load Tests for Black Friday
Have you load tested your server? If not, people seeking that special deal may overload your site, meaning that no one can purchase from you at all. This is far from ideal, particularly if you are driving traffic from your PPC campaign, you may be paying for someone to see your 500 or 503 error pages.
Email List Building
The secret to success in list building is correctly identifying items that are likely to appeal to a sector of the population with sufficient spare cash to make repeat purchases and to use.
You can effectively use your special offers on Black Friday and Cyber Monday as bait to get customers to purchase your products in future. Make sure that your customer receives a regular email to remind him of the new offers you have coming up, and any special items or events that they might qualify for. Remember most people like to feel special, so exclusive mailing list offers to "specially selected" customers (even if they aren't currently special) could push you in to profit long after you have acquired the customer.
You can also offer a pre-sale email to the customers you really wish to target, offering further discounts, or an exclusive sneak-peek of what the sale is likely to contain. By targeting likely consumers, who have already expressed an interest in the products, you can almost book the sale before the release to the general public.
UK Organic E-commerce Opportunities on Black Friday
We've talked briefly about PPC and building your mailing lists. But that is only part of the e-commerce world. What about organic traffic? The list below highlights the most significant terms surrounding Black Friday and Cyber Monday in November 2015. Whilst there is considerable search volume, the reason there is so little competition on some of the generic terms is due to their lack of precision. Knowing that someone is looking for Black Friday deals, is only really of help to a store that has a wide range of stock and is confident in its ability to turn a visitor into a customer. If you are running a company offering, lingerie or Hi-Fi systems you are unlikely to find a potential buyer using that method.
We would recommend using brand keywords, model number keywords or more general keywords that describe your product coupled with the Black Friday/Cyber Monday term.

Rushing to take down your pages? Don't. This is the time when you can take care of a little remarketing of your own. The landing pages can stay up all year round, with content redirecting customers to your current offers. By doing this, you will ensure that the pages are not delisted, and by keeping the content fresh (or at least less moldy) you will probably improve your search ranking position for next year. After all, most of your competitors will rip up their pages once the event is finished.
The Ecommerce Tool Kit for Black Friday
The tool kit below gives a great overview of what you should be looking to do for both PPC and SEO to make sales season a success. The key takeaways remain:
- Don't focus on generic terms
- Don't get involved if you do not have sufficient ROI
- Don't neglect potential customers
- Don't take the pages down at the end of the sale

Some times it's easy to get into a routine of visiting the same marks, especially when they are producing fish. I've decided to make more effort towards my personal species hunt and try to spend more time targeting fish that I've not caught yet this year and also visiting some new marks to see what they turn up. With this in mind I popped out today to target a few species to add to my tally.
First port of call was Dunbar Harbour to try and catch a flounder. I started off fishing in the old harbour. The tide was almost fully out when I arrived and the water was very clear so I could see the bottom. Casting out and slowly retrieving a whole medium pink Isome back along the bottom I soon had a few follows from small flounders but no bites. I worked my way around the edge and decided to drop straight down the edge at "shellfish falls", a small outflow from the shellfish processing factory that occasionally flows into the harbour providing the fish below with a steady supply of tasty treats, and quickly pulled out a blenny. Usually big ones can be caught there, probably due to their rich langoustine diets, but this one was quite small compared to previous captures from the spot! I then went round to the new harbour. Again I had a few small flounders following but not biting. After a while I decided to try for viviparous blennies at a spot where I've seen them caught last year. After 30 minutes of no action at all though I decided a move was required.
I headed down to Torness Power Station to fish the inlet area. Target species here were codling, rockling and also the rather rare yarrell's blenny that a friend told me they had caught there in the past. First of all I tried the helicopter landing pad. I set up a dropshot rig and dropped it straight down the side and slowly worked it along the edge. No bites though so I cast out just in front of some kelp to the left of the platform and onto the clean sandy bottom. Working it back slowly and jerking the lure gently I had a take about half way in and the rod tip started nodding away. I angled the rod to my right and quickly reeled the fish up away from the kelp, up to the surface and hoisted it up. It was a nice little pollock that had some lovely markings.
|Beautiful golden honeycomb markings.
Next I tried off the back of the walkway that crosses over the inlet. Dropping the dropshot rig down into each section and working my way along I soon had a few little taps but no takes. Then I spotted some nice looking rockpools at the east side of the walkway and scrambled down over the boulders to explore them. I took off the dropshot rig and switched to a 2.3g #8 Shirasu Fine jighead and threaded on a 1" section of Isome. First one I dropped it into was full of small blennies and sea scorpions that started attacking it aggressively. I soon started catching a steady stream of sea scorpions. Exploring the different pools I soon caught eight of them, all the long spined variety.
|Soft plastic lures aren't the only things that come in watermelon seed.
Then I spotted a nice long gully full of boulders. I dropped the lure down in between a gap in some of them and jigged it around a little. Out came what I thought were small blennies and after a few missed bites I managed to hook one. I lifted it up to discover it was in fact a leopard spotted goby.
|Not just a new species for my 2012 hunt but a new species for me! I was over the moon.
This area seemed to hold quite a few of them but they were proving hard to hook so I reduced the size of the Isome chunk on the jighead and placed it on the bend of the hook. This resulted in a second being caught.
|Hard to see in the photos but they have a very thin electric blue edging to their dorsal and anal fins.
I was just about to rig up a #18 hook with a couple of split shot to increase my hook up rate when I realised it was time to go. So whilst I failed to catch any of my target species I can't complain due to the unexpected bonus catch that made the session a success! I will have to explore the area further soon to see what else it holds that's for sure!
Tight lines, Scott.

ARPA stages protest in spl KHADC session
SHILLONG: Despite strong objections from the Opposition MDCs, the report of the Congress-led Executive Committee on the KHADC (Village Administration), Bill 2014 was passed by a voice vote during the special session of the KHADC on Saturday.
During the deliberations on the report, the MDCs of ARPA were of the view that the corrections suggested by the State Government on the Bill are detrimental to the interests of the indigenous community.
"We want a Bill which will protect the interests of the indigenous community," the ARPA MDCs said.
Of the 23 corrections suggested by the Government, the ARPA had opposed the rectification and deletion of around three including sub section (VIII) and sub section (XVI) of Section 5 of the VAB, which was, however, turned down by the PDF.
In the report, the EC said, "In Sub section (VIII) of Section 5, the words "non Khasi of India who have been 'residing within the village/locality' for a period of not less than 14 years preceding the date of application of such non Khasi citizens and such certificate shall be granted subject to prior approval from the Chief and his Dorbar and the District Council and on such pre-requisites as may be prescribed from time to time by the Executive Committee by way of notification," appearing after the words 'certificates to' shall be omitted and substituted by the words "inhabitants of the village"."
"Sub section (XVI) of Section 5 (which says -"The EC in recognition of the customary practices prevailing within the Hima(s) or Raid(s) or Village(s) may from time to time by notification prescribe the restrictions, terms and conditions of entry of a person other than a tribal native resident") shall be deleted," it said.
HSPDP MDC and former CEM Ardent Miller Basaiawmoit said that they are not against the passing of this bill.
"We want a Bill which will protect the interests of the indigenous community but we would certainly not like to have a Bill which will please the Governor or the Law department," Basaiawmoit said.
The HSPDP MDC made this remark after the KHADC CEM Pynshngnaiñ N Syiem continued to laud the Governor and the Law department for their facilitation to ensure the smooth passage of this Bill in his address to the House.
Meanwhile, Opposition leader and ARPA chairman Metbah Lyngdoh also slammed the Executive Committee (EC) for agreeing with the suggestions of the Government in deleting some of the important provisions in the bill.
According to him, these sections are important for protection and regulating the entry of people from outside since there are many instances where Rangbah Shnong have misused their powers by issuing rampant residential certificates.
"It is disappoint that the Executive Committee has agreed to delete the critical sections from the bill," Lyngdoh said while also maintaining that he was not against the passing of the bill.
Based on the suggestion of the ARPA, the EC decided to retain the words "Ka Teh Rangbah' in sub section (18) of Section 2 instead of substituting it with the words "Pynskhem Dkhot".
'Teh Rangbah' means the annual process of identifying, introducing and inducting of Khasi inhabitants of the village who have attained the age of 18 years in the dorbar shnong. In his reply, the KHADC CEM said that every dorbar shnong will have a village register which would record the names of all the residents. It would however, depend on the wisdom of the dorbar shnong how to frame the rules on how the village register is to be maintained. This would restrict entry of people from outside, the CEM, stated.
Finally, the KHADC (Village Administration) Bill, 2014 was passed by voice vote.
Earlier, when the Chairperson asked the members to put up a show of hands in support of the Bill all the 17 MDCs of the ruling side raised their hands. The opposition MDCs refused to so as a mark of protest.
"The report of the EC has now been accepted by Council," Thangkhiew declared on the floor of the House.
Later, Syiem told newsmen after the session that the Bill would immediately be submitted to the State Government on Monday for getting the Governor's assent.
Meanwhile, the ARPA chairman, Metbah Lyngdoh said that the PDF pushed the VAB 2014 bill through brute majority and not on the basis of discussion.
He reiterated that the ARPA wants the VAB passed but based on the clauses and sub section 5 which clearly enunciates how to protect the indigenous people of Meghalaya according to the constitution of India which has paved the way for the Councils to make laws to protect the Schedule tribes.
"We talk about the section 5 and sub section 8 which has clearly stated that any non tribal individual who comes and stay in a locality has to settle for at least 14 years before he can get a permanent residential certificate from the Rangbah Shnong but the bill passed on Saturday has removed this important clause," he said. Interestingly the same clause was accepted last year by the PDF when this bill was passed.

Aldingham is a village and civil parish in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England. Historically in Lancashire, it is situated on the east coast of the Furness peninsula, facing into Morecambe Bay, and is about 8 miles (13 km) east of Barrow-in-Furness, and 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Ulverston. The parish includes the nearby villages of Baycliff, Dendron, Leece, Gleaston, Newbiggin, Roosebeck, Scales and a number of smaller hamlets. According to the 2001 census the parish had a population of 1,187,[1] reducing to 1,105 at the 2011 Census.[2]
The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book as a separate manor belonging to a local man named Ernulf. The name is thought to be from the Old English meaning 'home of the family or followers of Alda'.[3] Local folklore has it that the village was once much larger—almost a mile in length—but was washed away by the tide.
From the early 12th century, Aldingham was the manorial seat of the Lords of Aldingham (later known as the manor of Muchland) and the sites of two early manor houses lie around a mile south of the present village. The first and most visible is Aldingham Motte, which was begun as a ringwork before 1102 by Roger the Poitevin and was later enlarged into a motte and bailey castle by the le Fleming family.[4] It can still be clearly seen atop a sandy cliff overlooking Morecambe Bay. In 1127 a Michael le Fleming is recorded as being lord of Aldingham. A kinsman of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, he was sent by King Rufus to take charge of the area around the village. The castle mound is nearly 100 feet (30 m) high and was about 100 feet (30 m) in diameter at the top.[5]
A little further north, and now surrounded by Moat Farm is a rectilinear moat, which probably marks the site of a 13th-century hall. The site would have been abandoned when the Lords of Aldingham moved further inland to Gleaston in the 14th century.[6] The manor of Aldingham passed to the Harringtons when Agnes, a descendant of Michael le Fleming, married Robert de Harrington. In 1340 Sir John de Harrington had the king's licence to enclose 300 acres (120 ha) of lands, woods and marsh into a park, almost certainly Gleaston.[5]
St Cuthbert's Church[edit]
At the centre of the present village, now on the shores of the bay, is St Cuthbert's Church. An inscription in Durham Cathedral gives the names of several places in the area, including Aldingham, where the body of Saint Cuthbert rested when the Angles were fleeing from the Danes. It is known that during his life, Cuthbert held lands around Cartmel on the neighbouring peninsula across the Leven Estuary, although it is not known if his possessions extended this far west.
The building dates from the mid-12th century, with extensions being made to the chancel in the 13th century, the addition of the tower in 1350 and extensive restoration taking place in the 19th century and again in 1932. In the eastern wall of the chancel is a hole about 5 inches (130 mm) by 3 inches (76 mm) that goes right through the wall: it is believed this would once have been a place for local lepers to view the church services without having to enter the building.[7]
Aldingham Hall[edit]
The large building which stands opposite the church, called Aldingham Hall has no connection with the earlier Lords of the Manor. The magnificent building was begun in 1846 by Dr. John Stonard, then rector of the parish, and took four years to build. Stonard never saw it finished, however, as he died in 1849 and left it to his manservant, Edward Jones Schollick, who had reportedly saved his master's life on the sands of Morecambe Bay.[8] Schollick became a local philanthropist with interests in shipbuilding and iron ore mining. He was unpopular, however, and emigrated to Australia in 1876. The hall has since been a convalescence home and is now a home for the elderly.
Aldingham Civil Parish[edit]
The civil parish of Aldingham follows the boundaries of the ancient ecclesiastical parish and is approximately 18 km2. To the south and west it is bound by Barrow Borough and to the north by the parish of Urswick. The eastern boundary extends some distance into Morecambe Bay to the low water mark.[9]
The parish has a council of eight members and is divided into two wards. North Ward covers the villages of Aldingham, Baycliff, Scales and the hamlets of Sunbrick, Beanwell and Swinestead. South Ward includes the villages of Dendron, Gleaston, Leece, Newbiggin and Roosebeck, plus the hamlets of Goadsbarrow. The North Ward returns three members to the parish council and the South Ward returns five.

Dragon Fantasy Book II Review
Nostalgia-inducing, mindlessly enjoyable, classic RPG style
Pointlessly bad graphics, dull story, uninteresting characters, glitchy
Dragon Fantasy Book II is a flawed attempt at a nostalgic RPG and nerd-culture homage. Still, presuming that not every game freezes half-way through, it is not an unenjoyable experience. While trudging through gitches and uninspired gameplay, I still found myself enjoying the mindless fantasy and classic RPG style. Do not expect anything original or inspired from Dragon Fantasy Book II, but if you are an old-school RPG fan, you will have a good time going through this sometimes reverential, sometimes tongue-in-cheek farcical fantasy.
An RPG Just Like Any Other
It is nostalgic from the beginning. Dragon Fantasy Book II opens with a scene familiar to gamers old enough to remember the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Picture it: a hero lying asleep in a bed, a grizzled man brooding at a table, a psychic message from a princess about a terrible foe stealing maidens left and right, pots (presumably breakable) everywhere. Yes, this is straight from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It lets you know that this game means to be a homage. Whether it succeeds in that endeavor is up to interpretation.
The story of Dragon Fantasy Book II starts in the middle of some overarching story, I imagine. Supposedly it is a stand-alone on its own. If it was intended to be, it utterly fails. Maybe as a sequel it succeeds a little more.
The story begins in mens rea, following a bald, middle-aged, retired hero named Ogden. The game tells us he's on a quest for some necklace or something and I never really found out why. That's the problem. If a story starts out in the middle, it needs to fill the player in on what happened before, at least enough to be invested in the story.
Not only did Dragon Fantasy Book II fail to make me care about any of the characters (a great sin in an RPG), it didn't make me care about the story either, mostly because I had only the faintest clue as to what was going on. If any back-story was given, it was dumped on the player all at once and so quickly you would have to be taking notes to digest any of it.
The story, full of heroes, reformed assassins, secret princesses, time travel, and copious RPG and general nerd references, didn't seem to know if it was a parody or a homage. It was stuck in some sort of middle gear that spluttered along and only stopped for the occasional joke. The jokes would have been a welcome reprieve except they weren't funny. They weren't exactly jokes – more like half-jokes, joke-husks that clearly intended to be funny but missed something crucial in the construction. Oh, and they were almost exclusively about Ogden's baldness, leading the player to assume the head writer was having some personal image issues.
This isn't to say that, on the whole, it's a boring story. It seems like a Dungeons & Dragons campaign turned video game, but it's not bad. At times, it's a fun trip through nostalgia-ville. It just doesn't ever rise above that and often falls below.
The gameplay is typical turn-based four team member RPG. An interesting twist ripped straight from Chrono Trigger (along with some sprite animations) is that you can see the enemies and potentially avoid them. No game should be compared to Chrono Trigger – it makes an impossible standard to meet. Dragon Fantasy Book II just begs to be compared to it, so suffice to say it lacks both the aesthetic charm and exciting gameplay that its distant predecessor possessed.
Combat is either overly easy or overly difficult, requiring zero strategy and only equipment and some quick grinding to overcome. The only thing that makes gameplay challenging at times is an inability to see which enemy you are selecting and the seemingly random situations that dictate whether or not you can see enemy health.
The only interesting twist is that you can catch monsters and add them to your team, which does help in some of the more difficult areas, but the mechanics of this are not teased out in any significant way, so the moment you get actual character allies in your party, you ditch the monsters in a weird bar that was in every town where all the townspeople seem to be okay with horrible creatures roaming about and drinking all their beer.
To be brief, the gameplay is a generic placeholder for story, as RPG gameplay can often be. Unfortunately, it sacrificed itself for an unworthy cause.
I do not understand the graphics in this game. The sprites are reminiscent of Final Fantasy V but without the occasional lush background. A PS3/Vita game has no right looking this bad. To top it off, it actually has to pause to load the environment. I cannot imagine what humongous screw up could cause a game this simple to run slowly on a console this powerful. Sometimes it seems like the PS3 can't keep up with the 8-bit inspired Dragon Fantasy Book II and sends the characters stutter-stepping across the field.
The music is absolutely acceptable. It can be a little repetitive, but in an RPG where you can run around the same area for hours leveling, that is par for the course. In fact, one or two of the scores are interesting and unique. I actually stood in a tavern of no consequence to the story so I could hear the bar tune.
It was glitchy from the beginning, I shouldn't have been surprised. I froze in the air once doing a leaping attack. Another time, an NPC following me turned into a Dalek-inspired robot for no reason and then disappeared. It froze once when I was backtracking, but I figured the game hadn't expected me to go there. I shouldn't have been surprised when, following the only path to advance the story, the game froze. And it never unfroze. And every time I reset the game and came back, it froze again. Maybe it was just my copy, but the game, easy as it was, was actually unbeatable.
There are bounty side quests but the rewards are worthless and the quests are boring and repetitive.
SPAWN FIRST RECOMMENDS…
Dragon Fantasy Book II is a flawed attempt at a nostalgic RPG and nerd-culture homage. Still, presuming that not every game freezes half-way through, it is not an unenjoyable experience.

I have a story of an encounter that I never told any one
I was close to finding one in Tall Trees once back in 2011 w/ some pals we tracked it down from a bunch of clues on the Map and quotes of N.P.C's I don't know what exactly they said I am posting this in 2015 and I forgot a lot of the clues but it led us to a clearing out in Tall Trees where the trees were in an oval around us and their were at least 3 stones lined around randomly 2 of which were close to each other 1 big and 1 small and sat at the base of the oval over it were a lot of trees the 3rd stone I think was in the center or a couple of clicks from the center I should note it was a full moon and it was night
The clearing from what I can remember was east-south of Cochiany and by that I mean you should find yourself around Nekoti Rock and from there I followed the Full moon into the more denser forest with less snow and more taller trees, on your map it is the are where the giant standing bear is, I should note I stayed away from Aurora Basin I say this as you should stay and explore all of Tall trees and only the areas with stones in flat areas close to mountains.
In this clearing I saw for sure a tall figure at least 8ft tall and with a muscular build it was all black so dark that it was hard to see and looked like a shadow but as I said we were in a clearing and I the moon light was bright but the back ground of Tall Trees was dark so I only saw its Dog like legs and barely an outline of the beast this is how I could tell it was tall and strong as I was able to see its broad shoulders as I got close i took out a fire bottle then heard tonnes of wolf howl's from all around me I was attacked by a Black Bear and fell over as I got up the Werewolf was running or walking it was moving slowly and fast I killed the bear and chased the werewolf then I shot 4 blanks with my Mauser Pistol into the dark distance I heard a wolf squeal as if hurt only once then another bear I dodged it shooting it looking back in the direction of the werewolf all I saw was it jump over 2 stones 1 big and 1 small I saw a black wolf leg that went over the rock as the rest of the beast disappeared into the Trees running after it I stopped and inspected the stone making sure it was a foot and not the shadow of the 2 stones and I was right the black shape of a dog's foot was not on the stone.
I died later after another bear killed me. If this helped you in any way you're welcome also the stones were a brownish grey the foot was a dark black and diapered as I stood still and when I got closer it was gone and when I got further it was gone the foot was a real foot and not a shadow of the rocks or a bird flying up from the floor.

My love affair with craft beer started when I picked up Charlie Papazians book: "the Complete Joy of Homebrewing".
I started continuously reading about the beautiful science behind the brewing process. The importance of mashing temperatures, water chemistry and chemical ratios was taking up so much space in my mind that I realized I needed to make this business my life.
Not to mention that brewing is fun as hell.
Gateway Beer
Pompous Ass English Ale – Great Lakes Brewing
English style Brown Ale with American yeast and a decent amount of hops – New take on an old style. I love beers that don't colour in the lines too much.
Favorite Beer Styles
English Brown Ale – Even though this style traditionally has fewer hops, I tend to prefer this style when done right (Fuller body and good malt presence).
Favorite Charity
Pedal for Kids – my dad has been involved with them for a very long time. It's a great charity for a great cause and we have lots of fun!! Look out for the Mighty Bike on Ste-Catherine this summer!
Favorite Movie
Gladiator – For some reason, I always come back to this movie. It's a great blend of the Count of Monte Christo – ish revenge plot, a small taste of history and the best damn script ever!

What to do in the event of a power outage
- Make sure your food doesn't perish
- Work in a coffee shop
- Crash a friend's home
- Find a way to have fun without electricity
The best condos for sale in The Fort offer great backup electricity when the power goes out. However, not all condominiums have such a backup plan or it may still possibly fail. You never know! If you're a tenant at such a building and there's a power outage, don't worry.
Be prepared, comfortable, and entertained with these tips:
Handle the Perishables
Your refrigerator and freezer are obviously useless after a while without power. It would be a waste to let the food inside spoil, so it's always best to attend to this first (after checking if your family members are okay of course) in the event of a power outage. It doesn't matter if you think the blackout will only last an hour or so – it's better to be safe than sorry!
One of the things you can do is to immediately purchase a block of ice or dry ice to keep the refrigerator cold. For a freezer, 50lbs of dry ice should keep an 18ft3 freezer cold for two whole days.
Always keep the following facts in mind:
- Meat, poultry, fish, and eggs must be kept below 4°C
- Frozen food must be kept below -17°C
- A refrigerator will remain cold for up to 4 hours if kept closed while a freezer does so for 48.
If there's food inside that doesn't really need to stay refrigerated, remove them. This is also a good time to consume some of the things in your fridge so they won't go bad and go to waste.
Find a Place to Work
The length of time that the power will be out can be pretty indefinite. Don't sit around waiting if there's work to be done! Your best bets are a coffee shop or co-working space. A coffee shop is a great option for when you need to work late at night since most of the other establishments close at 10PM. Co-working spaces, on the other hand, is a cheaper alternative since these usually have free coffee and allow you to bring in whatever food you want, and are usually open for a longer period of time. Libraries are free but you can't eat, drink, or make noise.
Spend time with the Family
Given that you've taken care of the perishables and you no longer have work to do, you just take the time to enjoy the silence. Without technology as distraction, you're free to spend time with the family or your roommates by playing cards or even just talking. Living in BGC, you're also just a stone's throw away from several family-friendly attractions. (Hah, that's just one of the many perks of living at the Fort!)
Crash at a Friend's Place
Thereare several hacks to make your condo cooler without an a/c unit. These are especially useful when it's summer time and you have a pet. However if you simply can't stand the heat and the boredom if you're living alone, then call up a friend and ask if you can hang out there for awhile. Inform them if you intend to bring your pet and if you intend to stay the night. If your friend lives nearby, you might even want to politely ask if you can store some perishables there to make sure it stays preserved.
Key Takeaway
Even though our lives run efficiently on electricity nowadays, we should be able to do without. This may literally be the world telling us to just take a breather and focus on what we have in front of us – a day with friends, family, or pets. Just be sure to take care of the perishable food and you'll be fine even when the power is gone.

1 cup of sugar (I use Florida crystals)
1/2 cup of butter substitute (Earth Balance)
egg substitute for 2 eggs (2 tablespoons of flax, ground up works well, and 6 tablespoons
of water)
3 bananas (though 2 will work)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups of flour
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Put all of the above ingredients into a bowl and beat together with a mixer until smooth. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for roughly 45 minutes at 325 degrees or until a toothpick comes out clean. It may take slightly longer to cook than 45 minutes.
This recipe works well at both sea level and higher altitudes (I usually add an extra bit of flour for cooking at altitude).
