Copper sulphate or cupric sulphate (CuSO4) is a salt of copper which exists in varying amounts of hydration. Most commonly, it is found as bright blue or green coloured crystals, due to which it is also known as blue vitriol, bluestone, vitriol of copper and roman vitriol. It is the most commonly used salt which is produced industrially by treating copper metal with hot concentrated sulfuric acid or its oxides with dilute sulfuric acid. Alternatively, it can also be produced by slowly leaching low grade copper ore in air. The latest report by IMARC Group titled, "Copper Sulphate Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2017-2022", finds that the global copper sulphate market has grown at a CAGR of around 5% during 2009-2016, reaching a volume of more than 300 Thousand Tons in 2016.

See additional comments on Tea Party Nation.
Today was a great day for North Carolina. Beaufort County took the first step nationwide to adopt a Federal Gun Laws Nullification resolution!! The resolution was passed unanimously by the Beaufort County Board of Commissioners and was greeted by overwhelming support. The resolution was written in strong terms, stating that no county official, paid employee, or resource will be used to cooperate with or enforce federal gun regulations. It also calls on the NC General Assembly to pass an act to nullify the implementation of any federal law, executive order, or regulation which restricts the right to keep and bear arms within the state of North Carolina, as well as to propose an amendment to the state constitution to enlarge gun rights.
ABC and Fox News were there to cover the event and Michael Boldin of the Tenth Amendment Center has spent the entire day getting the story out nationwide.
Please urge your own county commissioners or Sheriffs Department to adopt a similar resolution. Beaufort County, the Tenth Amendment Center, etc etc will provide the resolution if it will help.
Here is the link to the Beaufort Observer article and full video –
You can hear what the Commissioners each had to say about the resolution. I was touched by their loyalty to the US Constitution, their patriotism, their understanding of history, and the fidelity of their oaths.

How To Use Lifting Wrist Straps Kahului HI Video
How To Use Lifting Wrist Straps Kahului, Hawaii
Everything You Need To Know To Get The Right Lifting Wrist Straps
Want to be fit and in shape? Who does not? I mean if anyone could wave a magic wand and POOF have the sculpted body they desired, who would not wave it?
Fitness means different things to different people largely because we all have our own unique goals, as well as our own reasons for having those goals.
There are those who just want to look good in their bathing suit, while others want to be attractive to others, while some pursue fitness to help them excel at a particular sport.
A small percent desire to be in an elite group of high level top performing athletes while many simply want to lose a few pounds, build some strength, work through an injury or really just want to feel better about themselves on a day to day basis.
Research has proven over and again regular exercise increases energy levels, burns calories, increases strength, helps contribute to healthy bones and heart and also promotes mental health and overall well being.
Considering most people are well aware of the many benefits of exercise and fitness combined with all the proven research supporting it, why do more not pursue a higher level of fitness than they currently possess?
The answer (for the most part) is pretty easy….
It can be HARD WORK and it takes time!!
Let us face it most of us are pretty busy between work, family, school, friends and leisure time, so who has time to hit the gym 3-5 times a week?
The good news is that you do not have to be a gym rat in order to be in shape… or at least better shape than you currently are.
We all know there is a glut of the latest and greatest fitness programs being sold online and through other marketing avenues but often these are largely gimmicks designed to make a buck.
The most important part of a fitness regime is to make sure it is sustainable for you when considering your current lifestyle and the amount of time and energy you are deciding to contribute to this new part of life.
Realistically very few people start at zero and can go hard lifting weights or doing cross fit 3-5 times a week for 1-3 hours each time. Or very few can start cycling and ride 50-60 miles per ride every other day.
There are a couple simple tips that can help you choose a fitness program that is sustainable for you in the long run.
1.Being honest with yourself. Determine your current fitness level and the amount of time you spend weekly on your fitness. This can include something as simple as going for a walk.
2.Decide on your fitness goal(s). This can be weight related like losing 20 pounds. It can be strength related, such as to increase your dead lifts from 250 to 300 pounds. It can be beginning to do core strengthening until you work through some lower back pain. It can be training to run a half marathon. The goal is really up to you. Again be realistic and honest with yourself.
3.Speak to a health professional to make sure you can safely pursue these activities and goals.
4.Speak to a trainer or expert in the field you are pursuing to determine the best approach to realize your fitness goals. You can even look online for this information but you want to make sure you are on the right path. It would be a shame to spend time and energy on some form of exercise that is not designed to move you towards the goals you have.
5.Break your large goal down into smaller bite size goals and then set time lines to reach each of these goals.
6.When you achieve a smaller goal… WAHOO… celebrate and reward yourself for a job well done.
7.Be consistent but kind. It is important to be consistent if you want to reach your goals but do not beat yourself up too much if you miss a day or you do not hit your goal by the deadline you set. Often people quit pursuing fitness or exercise altogether because they are too hard on themselves and feel guilty, bad or like a loser. You are never a loser if you at least try. If you fail get back up and try again.
8. Remember (unless you are a professional athlete who competes) this is not a competition. You are doing this for you. do not compare yourself to others in the gym or in the sport you are participating in. Have fun!! Find ways to make your activities/exercise more enjoyable.
The big thing about fitness is just getting off the couch and dong something instead of thinking about it or saying I will start on Monday… seriously?? That is one of the oldest excuses in the book.
The great thing about moving towards a higher level of fitness is after only a few weeks of being consistent whether its pumping weights in the gym, doing push ups at home or taking long walks, you will begin to notice a difference. You will begin to experience more energy, you will likely sleep better, you will feel stronger, have more jump in your step and mentally you will feel more clear and will tend to be more happy and positive. You also begin to believe in yourself and your self confidence will begin to increase.
Bottom line is, no matter where you are now, make a choice to move towards a higher level of fitness.
I promise you will not regret it.

The gift of everlasting life is free to us, but cost Jesus everything. He paid the bill through His sacrificial death and resurrection.
But while the gift of salvation is free, this does not mean that there is no cost to being a follower of Christ. So many want to live the Christian life without any sacrificing or any giving, but there's more to it than that. For instance, in saying 'Yes' to Christ, we're saying 'No' to much of what the world around us has to offer.
Another "cost" that Christians should – must – pay is associated with reaching the lost; those who haven't yet recognized their need for a Savior and are still living life on their own terms. If you look at Luke 15:8-10 you'll see what I mean:
"Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
"Doesn't she light a lamp?" First, it will cost you resources to look for the lost. The text tells us that the woman lit a lamp in order to look for the lost coin. You may not think that's a big deal, but you need to remember that there were no light switches to turn on, or flashlights to brighten the dark. Many homes also did not have any windows to allow natural light to enter. So, the lady chose to use a very precious and expensive asset by lighting the oil. She spent her resources to look for the lost coin.
"Doesn't she sweep the house?" Not only does it cost you resources but it also costs you time to look for the lost. We read in verse 8 that the woman "sweep[s] the house" in her search. Whether the English word "sweep" here literally means cleaning, or if it means searching inch-by-inch, both reflect a significant labor-intensive investment of time as she seeks the prized coin. She did it without hesitation because of the value of that which was lost.
"Doesn't she search carefully?" Finally, looking for the lost will cost patience and thoroughness. The woman "searched carefully until she found it." This lady looked, searched, cleaned, and looked again. She did this over and over until she found the coin. There was an emotional investment as she did not give up after one failed try, but continued because it was precious to her.
Yes, there is a price to be paid for reaching the lost. The question remains: are they worth it? Do me a favor – stop for a moment and think about those around you who have not made a decision for Christ. Think about your mom or dad, your brother or sister, your neighbor, your co-worker. Tell me – are they worth it?
Of course they are! In fact, our text above tells us that the souls of those around us are so important that "there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." Every soul is precious and needs to hear the message of hope in Jesus Christ. He paid the ultimate price for you. Ask Him to help you as you extend yourself to reach others.
Be a part of My Hope America with Billy Graham:
It isn't always easy to reach those around you with the hope of Christ, but the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is here to help and to give you the tools you need. Register today to be a part of a nationwide outreach that will equip you to share your faith with others.

Streisand opens her home for women's heart health
MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — In an elegant white tent at her oceanfront Malibu compound, Barbra Streisand sang and former President Bill Clinton spoke to a crowd gathered to raise funds for women's heart health.
Guests paid as much as $100,000 per couple to support the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center at the intimate fundraising dinner Thursday at the home Streisand shares with her husband, James Brolin.
The singer donated $10 million to create the research and treatment facility at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and solicited million-dollar donations from wealthy friends she called personally. Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone, NBCUniversal chief Ron Meyer, designer Donna Karan and actors Josh Brolin (Streisand's stepson) and Diane Lane were among the donors and guests.
Streisand said she was motivated to contribute to women's heart health because she "can't stand inequality, whether it's about civil rights, gay rights or gender discrimination."
Heart disease kills more women each year than all cancers combined, but most of the research on the disease for the past five decades has been conducted on men.
"Even in scientific research, women are still treated as second-class citizens," Streisand said, "and to me, that's just unacceptable."
So she raised her voice and opened her wallet, and invited her friends to do the same.
"It's kind of a selfish thing, because it's actually very fulfilling, to do something like that that's larger than me or my career," she said, acknowledging that her fellow donors must feel the same way.
"Think about all the good that we'll do, all the good that will come of it, because of your extraordinary generosity," she said.
Clinton, who was introduced by journalist Lisa Ling and welcomed with a standing ovation, saluted Streisand for her commitment to women's health.
"I never thought anybody could care a lot about more things than I care a lot about. She makes me look like a heartless dumb piker," he said. "Unless your heart has been taken out of your body, you need to care about this."
Clinton said that the issue of heart health and equitable research goes beyond politics.
"Our country has always believed in being not only a laboratory of democracy but a laboratory of science and advancement, and you can't do that with a straight face and leave women out," he said.
Singer Josh Groban performed before Streisand took the stage. Streisand sang four songs, including the Oscar- and Grammy-winning "Evergreen," which she dedicated to Clinton. He told her in 1992 that it was his favorite song of hers, and she sang it at his inauguration.
Streisand and Groban performed a duet of "Smile," and Streisand closed the evening with a special version of "Here's to Life," with new lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, who were also among the guests Thursday.
"A woman's heart beats well tonight," Streisand sang. "Because of you, a woman's future's looking bright. And it gets even brighter with each check you write, so thanks with all my heart."

Imagine you need to implement a WS API to manage a variety of objects.
Each object shares a common protocol, like Fetch, Store, Validate, Publish...
but also may need to add object-specific methods.
So the problem is, what is an approach to enabling a client to deal with
a common interface to different objects in a generic way?
It seems that at least for ASP.NET, there's no help in identifying different
web service providers as adhering to a common contract (interface).
So perhaps the way to solve this is on the server, to implement the "interface"
and the "object identity" is a first parameter, which re-invokes the method
on a real interface of a real object.
Any additional thoughts or ideas are appreciated!

METRO VANCOUVER -- Highway 99 in Delta was fully reopened late Tuesday evening after an over-height truck crashed into the Highway 10 overpass in the early afternoon.
DriveBC announced that traffic was again moving in both directions around 9:15 p.m. Highway 10 is also open in both directions.
Delta police Sgt. Sarah Swallow said the truck hit the overpass at about 2 p.m., but the driver left the scene. Police have not yet found the driver, she added.
"Anybody coming out of Vancouver is in for a long evening," Swallows said.
Swallow said there were reports of concrete falling off the overpass after the collision, so an engineer was called to the scene to assess the damage and the integrity of the overpass.

American International Group Inc., the insurer rescued by the U.S. government in 2008, said on Tuesday it is considering joining a lawsuit that claims the bailout terms were unfair, drawing angry condemnation from lawmakers.
A leading congressional Democrat called criticism of the deal's terms "utterly ridiculous," and former New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer – who probed AIG when he was in office – called the prospect of a lawsuit "insulting to the public."
The White House declined to comment on the potential for a lawsuit but defended the $182 billion bailout.
Newly elected Senator Elizabeth Warren, feared by Wall Street as a potential thorn in its side on the Senate Banking Committee, called the lawsuit talk "outrageous" and said the company should not "bite the hand that fed them for helping them out in a crisis."
In a statement late Tuesday, AIG said it had no choice but to consider the demand from its former chief executive, Hank Greenberg, and his holding company Starr International that AI G join his lawsuit. Greenberg has sued for damages over the bailout and wants AIG to join him in challenging the "exorbitant" terms of the government rescue.
Legal action by AIG would be shocking , given that the company has just launched a high-profile television ad campaign called "Thank you, America," in which it offers the public its gratitude for the bailout. On Tuesday, AIG promoted the ads on Twitter, even as it came under fire over a possible lawsuit.
"AIG has paid back its debt to America with a profit, and we mean it when we say thank you to the American people," CEO Bob Benmosche said in a statement.
"At the same time, the Board of Directors has fiduciary and legal obligations to the Company and its shareholders to consider the demand served on us and respond in a fair, appropriate, and timely manner," he said.
AIG said its board would meet Wednesday to discuss joining the lawsuit, with three options on its plate: take over and pursue the claims made by Starr; refuse Greenberg's demand and block Starr from pursuing its claims; or let Starr pursue the claims on AIG's behalf.
It expects to make a decision "in the next several weeks," Benmosche said.
Greenberg, whose Starr International owned 12 percent of AIG before its near-collapse, has accused the New York Fed of using the rescue to bail out Wall Street banks at the expense of AI G shareholders. He has also called the NY Fed a " loan shark" for charging the "exorbitant" interest of 14.5 percent on its initial loan to AI G.
"If AIG enters this suit it would be the equivalent of a patient suing their doctor for saving their life," said Mark Williams, a former Federal Reserve bank examiner who teaches in the finance department at Boston University.
A federal judge in Manhattan already dismissed one of Greenberg's lawsuits in November; it is being appealed.
In his ruling dated Nov. 19, Judge Paul Engelmayer said AIG had notified the court it would hold a board meeting Jan. 9 to discuss joining one of the lawsuits, with a decision expected by the end of the month.
A separate lawsuit under different legal theories is still pending in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington.
One expert in securities law said he doubted AIG would ultimately decide to join the case.
"All the fiduciary standards that guide board behavior would warn against joining the suit," said James Cox, a professor of corporate and securities law at Duke University School of Law in Durham, North Carolina. "I see nothing to be gained by AIG piling on, and I see a lot of downside risk."
The deliberations were first reported by the New York Times.
The New York Fed said Tuesday there was no merit to any allegations that the bank harmed AIG.
"AIG's board of directors had an alternative choice to borrowing from the Federal Reserve and that choice was bankruptcy. Bankruptcy would have left all AIG shareholders with worthless stock," a representative of the bank said Tuesday.
Elijah Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, acknowledged that AIG's board has a fiduciary duty to consider the lawsuit. But he also said the company had a choice in 2008 and picked what it considered the better option.
"The idea that AIG might sue the government is an unbelievable insult to our nation's taxpayers, who cleaned up the mess this firm created," he said in a statement.
Cummings' former colleague, the recently retired Barney Frank, said he was "stunned" by the news and added that AIG was a fully willing participant in the rescue.
"There was not the hint of a suggestion of any coercion. They did this very voluntarily, very gratefully. And if the company were now to go around and join this lawsuit, that would be outrageous," Frank said in an interview.
The U.S. Treasury declined to comment. It completed its final sale of AIG stock in mid-December, concluding the bailout with what Treasury called a positive return of $22.7 billion.
AIG shares fell 0.8 percent to close at $35.65. After losing half its value in 2011, the stock rose more than 52 percent in 2012, tripling the gains of the broader S&P insurance index .

The Animated Ghost kit is a great way to learn more about electronics and soldering. It's really easy to put together and the end result is a great addition to your Halloween decorations. Let's get started.
The things you need:
- Animated Ghost Kit – Available in the Maker SHED
- Soldering Iron
- File
- Rosin core solder
The things you don't need, but are great to have:
- Arms of Assistance – Make you own
- Fume extractor – Make your own
Step 1 : Take inventory
Spread out all the parts and take a look through the instructions. It's always a good idea to check out all the steps prior to starting.
Step 2 : Add the resistors
I added all the resistors at once. The board is so big, you can really add a lot of parts and solder them all at once.
Now that's a dirty soldering iron! Remember to wipe your soldering iron often.Step 3 : Connect the motor
This small part of the circuit board gets snapped off and is soldered to the motor's axle. It's what makes the ghost move.
Start by roughening up the motor's axle with a file.
Next, roughen up the sides of the motor. This helps the solder stick a lot better.
Finally, heat up the motor and the circuit board with your soldering iron and then add a lot of solder. More is better!
Step 4 : Add some more components
Next, I added the LEDs, capacitors, microphone, and transistors as described in the instructions. Again, I combined steps and soldered it all in at once.
Step 5 : Add some power
The battery pack is attached using the supplied nut and bolt. After attaching the battery holder, solder the red and black wires to the board. Easy!
Step 6 : Add bar to motor
Remember that little piece of circuit board you snapped off. Well, now it's time to attach it to the motor. First add the supplied nut & bolt to one end and solder the other end to the motor's axle.
Step 7 : Prep, solder, and glue the speaker
The kit comes with (2) wires that need to be soldered to the speaker. After soldering the wires to the speaker go ahead and solder them to the circuit board. Finally place the speaker in the hole on the board.
I used hot glue to mount the speaker. You can use almost any glue that bonds metal.
Step 8 : Enjoy
The kit took less than an hour to complete and the included instructions were easy to follow. It's a fun little project, and a great way to get into soldering. Make sure to stop by the Maker SHED at Maker Faire and check it out in person.
One last thing! The kit comes with a piece of fabric to make your project look like a ghost. [I prefer the look of the bare circuit board]

Aug-27-08 DCA and HMFA Welcome Woodbridge as Newest Member of Live Where You Work Homebuyer Program
WOODBRIDGE, N.J. – Woodbridge Mayor John McCormac and Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) Executive Director Marge Della Vecchia joined Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) Commissioner Joseph Doria today at 239 Wall Street, a 3-bedroom home in the Menlo Park Terrace neighborhood, to announce that Woodbridge is the newest member of the Live Where You Work Program. Woodbridge is the third municipality to partner with HMFA on the program.
"Live Where You Work is a key component in assisting those hard working middle class individuals who wish to live the American Dream of owning their own home," said Commissioner Doria. "I thank Mayor McCormac and Woodbridge for their commitment and dedication to working with us and we encourage more municipalities to join the program."
The Live Where You Work Program is a work force housing initiative that provides low-interest mortgage loans to homebuyers purchasing homes in towns where they are employed. Other benefits include down payment and closing cost assistance for the purchase of a home within Smart Growth Areas and flexible underwriting criteria for the loan qualification process. Homes must be located in a municipality that has become a Live Where You Work partner with HMFA. The Live Where You Work initiative further enhances Governor Corzine's efforts to revitalize and build sustainable communities that will provide a greener environment, access to transportation and affordable housing opportunities for residents.
"Woodbridge Township is excited to be a partner in the New Jersey 'Live Where You Work' program. We are committed to making homeownership more affordable not only for Woodbridge Township residents, but for those who work in town and want to live here," said Mayor McCormac. "By partnering with the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency and the 'Live Where You Work' program, we are able to enhance housing affordability for residents and Township workers. As a result of this opportunity, many more Woodbridge Township families and workers, and first-time home buyers, will be better able to negotiate the current economic times by taking advantage of a program that provides real incentive and benefit to purchasing a home right here in the Township."
As a result of this partnership, people working in Woodbridge who are interested in buying a home in the Township will be able to take advantage of the Live Where You Work program incentives. Live Where You Work is administered by the HMFA, a DCA affiliate.
"This is a program that makes so much sense in today's market and economy. With its central location and great neighborhoods, Woodbridge has always been a fantastic place to buy a home", said Marge DellaVecchia. "Now, Live Where You Work makes it even more affordable and compelling.

Planeswalker's Journey
I just check it every few hours
Alright, I'M BACK, BABY! I have returned from my weekend trip, and am ready to continue creating Story Blurbs!
That night, Aggrol slept soundly. He had made a small shelter just outside the town, as he was too big for any human beds. While he slept, he dreamed of a large tower. The tower seemed to be pulling him towards him, and when he reached it, he suddenly realized that this was the thing that was keeping him from leaving here. He then knew that, eventually, he was going to have to get there.
He soon awoke from his slumber, and walked back to the town. It looked like Cliff and Mayor Beralize were having an argument. "You promised me that I would get 5 percent of the treasure!" Cliff was saying. "We had a deal!" "Well, do you know how much treasure that is? That's a lot! What would a kid like you even do with that money?" Beralize shouted. "Hey! A deal's a deal! What does it matter what I will do with it? The community still gets their 85%, and you and that Aggrol dude both get 5%. It's a win-win! It's completely fair!" They had negotiated the deal the last night. Each of the three adventurers got 5%, and the rest of it went into the community funds of the town. "Hold on now," Aggrol intervened. "What's the problem?" "She wants to cut me and you out of the deal!" Cliff yelled. "So she can have more for herself! She doesn't even need it! She controls the community funds!" "Is this true?" Aggrol said, "Are you really going to cut out the only two people who did any work on that expedition? This is unacceptable!" The townsfolk were beginning to take notice now. "Huh?" "What do you mean she just wants more for herself?" "But she said that she did all the work!" "Now, now. Let's not jump to conclusions..." She said. But even as she said it, the townsfolk began to get angry. "We elected you because you said that you were selfless. You said that you only wanted what was good for the town. But now we see that those were all lies. You only look out for yourself." Cliff said. "And I think that the others will agree with me. All in favor of a new election?" Nearly every single hand in the crowd went up. When Aggrol's hand went up, the remaining few suddenly agreed. Long story short, someone else was elected mayor, and it was found that Beralize had been stealing from the community fund for years. Cliff offered to go with Aggrol on his journey, but he refused. "This is my journey. I can't have you tagging along. It will be a dangerous road, I can feel it, and I wouldn't want you getting hurt. And anyways, this town needs a protector. I have a feeling that you will grow up to be a fine warrior. I must go now. Best of luck to you and the rest of Gewar." And with that, Aggrol began his journey through the plains.
This one was kind of just wrapping up the Gewar storyline, and as such, not much really happened. I will try and post that map that I was talking about sometime soon, (probably tomorrow) but I don't know how to post pictures from my computer to a comment like you do card images. Could someone show me how?
Wow, this discussion has not had very much going on recently. And I have been very busy, so I have not been able to do one of these in a few days. But here is the beginning of a new chapter in Aggrol's storyline. We have left the town of Gewar and it's characters, and now we go into the plains!
As Aggrol set out into the plains, he found himself thinking about the tower he had seen in his dream. He had no idea how to get there, but he knew he had to. And when he did, what then? Would he just be sent back home? Would there be challenges at the tower? How would he get back home? Were there others trapped here that also needed the tower? All these questions and more were jumbling around in Aggrol's mind when he fell into the sinkhole.
He awoke in a large cave. At first, he thought that it was empty, but as his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he saw that there were plenty of small creatures in the darkness. "Goblins. Why did it have to be goblins?" he said. Most things didn't frighten him, but for some reason goblins just freaked him out. He looked for the exit. He found it, a dark tunnel probably leading to another cave, but he was surrounded. And they were coming closer.
Well that's the end of that. Not all of them need to be ridiculously long. See you tomorrow!
The first challenge begins next Friday the 31st. This will also be the deadline for new players to join.
Here is my planeswalker.
Colour: Blue
Niche: Countering spells
And the creature type "Tehan" is from my imagination
Niche: GOATS! As well as gaining life and drawing cards, but mostly goats.
Color: White
Edit: Fixed Aldor's Ibex due to @Aggroman15's correction (thanks!)
Story Blurb time!
Aggrol was surrounded by goblins. He knew that he had to get to the opening, so he began attempting to wade through the masses of goblins towards the door. The goblins piled on top of him, pulling him down. Now, this would not have bothered most elementals, but Aggrol was scared of goblins. So he just sat there, scared out of his mind, wondering how he got himself into this, while the goblins carried him away. (It took, like, 30 of them)
When he awoke, he was surrounded by goblins (again). Then, he saw an enormous shadow in the one spot in the room with no goblins. The shadow moved... and something came out. He didn't recognize it. There was certainly nothing like it on Degar. "Who are you?" the creature asked. It was obvious that it wouldn't take nobody for an answer. "I am Aggrol, of Degare. I simply fell down a sinkhole, and found my way here. I will go peacefully if you just let me leave." The thing scowled at him. "No. I will feast on your magical essence. I have been starving for years down here. These things don't have much magic on their bones." "Then why don't you just leave?" "Because of these things. Every time I try, they grab on and won't let me. There's enough of them that it works. Anyways, you look very tasty indeed." The monster lunged at him. Aggrol immediately found himself weakened. He found himself thinking that it would have been very good if his hydra hadn't been behind him just enough that it didn't fall in with him. Last he had seen it, it had been looking down, giving him a look like, I'm not going to jump down there! What are you, crazy? "Mmm... Your magic is quite filling indeed. I will not go hungry for years!" the thing said. Aggrol summoned an elemental, but the best he could muster in his weakened state was something about as big as a goblin. Well, he thought, if I can't win this with magic, I'll have to win it with strength. So he charged up to the thing, and tackled it. "Ugh! What was that?" the thing howled. "You can't use physical power! That's unfair!" Aggrol began punching the thing in the face. "You-ow-asked-ow-for-ow-it!" the thing shouted. A massive ray of fire shot from it's open mouth, blasting Aggrol across the room. He squished a few goblins along the way, and from then on, they steered clear. By now, Aggrol was completely out of power. It was almost like the thing had an aura of magic depletion. "By the time I'm done with you, you'll just be a lifeless hunk of rock!" the thing screamed as it hit Aggrol with another firebreathing attack. Aggrol had to find a way to beat this thing, and fast.
I didn't really want it to be too ridiculously long, so I left it on a cliffhanger. See you tommorow! (probably)
P.S. @Decaldor on Aldor's Ibex, it says Armorclad Ibex in the text box. Just thought I'd point that out. And @AxNoodle where are your supporting cards?
Aldor looked up. He flinched as cold, dirty snow blew into his eyes. He reached out with his hand. The ice was biting, and not even his fur coat could protect him from these temperatures. He risked another glance, but couldn't see anything but white snow against a bleak, cloudy background. He reached out again, and this time his hand felt something. His staff. It was given to him back in the Fields. Where was he now?
Aldor pulled himself up to his knees. He raised his free hand slowly. A pulsating center of light appeared, hovering above it. The chill disappeared, and Aldor stood, his power restored. He looked around. Behind him was snow-covered rock, jutting into the clouds. Before him, though, was a vast expanse of hills and plains and villages, and, in the far distance, a glistening city.
This was not Galascia, but Aldor didn't care. He raised his staff and a brilliant ray of light exploded from it, into the air. Bleats came in response from all around the mountain. Aldor smiled and began his descent.
Second spell...
third one coming soon... when I can get to access the art i found
The great storm rumbled. The plane of Raxin was in chaos. The city of great magic and sorcery had fallen to its knees. Antimagic lightning took charge over the buildings, destroying what was left of the great building that had once homed many wizards, learning the secrets of some artefact that materialised one afternoon in the vast halls of Halumin Laboratory. After experiments on it, large amounts of antimagic had manifested, creating this destructive storm. AxNoodle saw only one way to fight back: stop the ball.
He ran, dodging and weaving through the falling bricks toward the famous lab where it had homed itself. However, he was a wizard, not an athelete, so his quick pace did not last long. He trudged up the stairs until he was interrupted by a flying chunk of metal. The wizard had barely seconds before he flattened himself to the wall and let it pass. Gasping, AxNoodle limped to the chamber where a blue glow was being emitted. Using the last of his strength and out of reason, he charged the orb.
Before waking up in the stream, he did not remember anything. Sure, his home plane was being destroyed, but why was he here? Where even was Here? He tried to get up but tripped on his - hang on, what? A tail? Why is there a tail on my back? He found it was easy to swish around and came easily. His biggest surprise, however, was when he looked in the lake and saw what he looked like.
He promptly fainted.
Waking up for a second time, he found himself in a bed made of blue string. He remembered the ball that was destroying his home and suddenly remembered what happened before he woke up here. The question of where here was still unanswered, AxNoodle got up and went to look for answers. Just looking out the door at first, he could see a sprawl of similar grey, stone huts and the people around. They all looked very different, but had similar features - that of cats, foxes, serpents and dragons merged in many different ways into one being. Finding he had wings, he tried them out to explore his new environment.
Fish token
@AxNoodle That's awesome.
Just one thing. Try to keep as much as possible in the same comments since every page only fits 30 comments. You can edit old comments if it was not long ago you posted it.
3 days remains until the first challenge and the deadline for new planeswalkers.
If you would like to join but don't have time yet to create a planeswalker you need only comment and add your preferred niche, then you'll have until the next elimination to post your planeswalker and the required cards.
And the last part of the story for now.
Turns out flying is harder than swishing a tail.
AxNoodle jumped, flapped and barely lasted two seconds before smashing back down on the ground. "Ow", he grumbled whilst nursing his foot. Back on his feet, the wizard had to simply walk to anywhere where he could find answers. First thought: the library.
Upon first glance, it was like any other. Brown, wooden shelves, cobwebs on the least intresting sections, and that signature smell of old paper. Though now, he realised, his nose could smell this a lot clearer. Going straight to the oak shelf labelled "History", AxNoodle started browsing the large shelves for information about where he was.
The books were similarly coloured- brown, black and grey covers that were made of a yet-unknown material. Heck, just about everything was unknown here. AxNoodle still dreaded having to meet one of the real citizens left. He stopped browsing at the book with a green colour, standing out from the rest, named "A Guide to the Tribes of Clancularius". This should have information worth reading!
The first few tribes were as expected- goblins, humans, even goats counted in this book. Mentions of dragons, phoenixes and merfolk were among the pages he went through and eventually found one he had never seen before- Tehan. A drawing showed him of the weird, cat/fox/serpent/dragon people he had seen walking around the town. This picture showed a Tehan seemingly swimming through the air. A description read, "The Tehans are a tribe who love seeing attacker's spells come to use against them. A mainly peaceful people, their history contains less wars than big magical or scientific breakthroughs. This may be because they are a being of antimagic, which means spells cast around them, to a certain extent, fizzle away or become a random object. One of their greatest creations is the Great Unraveller of Gabel, created by Fzisch Gabel, which can manipulate an destroy all magic around it. Unfortunately, it gained what is now labelled, "interdimentional powers", as it travels randomly in and out of existence, bringing new magic with it. After each "jump through reality", its power temporarily weakens. It has not been seen for five hundred years."
AxNoodle closed the book and thought about this. Had it brought him here... on purpose? Was there a greater cause for all this?
"Nah", he decided, "that only happens in fiction." Suddenly, it appeared in his face, pulsating with unknown power.
This will probably be the last Story blurb until the challenges start.
The thing hit Aggrol with another blast of fire. "What even are you?" Aggrol shouted. "How do you not know what I am? I am a Demon!" "Yeah. Never heard of it." Aggrol responded." "Why you..." The demon charged forward, and attempted to hit him with a close-range fire blast. Aggrol sidestepped the blast at the last moment and punched the demon in the side of the head when it came past. The demon fell on the ground, screaming."That hurt! Why won't you just stand still?" Aggrol jumped on the demon, badly hurting it beneath his weight. He continued to punch it, but soon, he let up. The demon was trying to say something. "How... How could you beat me? I have trained to fight for thousands of years!" "Well, you were stopped from leaving this cave by a bunch of goblins, so you can't be that strong." Aggrol responded. He raised his fist to deliver the finishing blow... "No! Stop! Please! Give me mercy, and I will let you leave. I won't come after you. Please, just spare me!" Aggrol thought about this. Eventually, he decided to let the demon go. "Promise me you won't follow me." "Oh, I won't need to follow you." the demon said. "You'll be staying right here!" He breathed another stream of fire, which hit Aggrol straight in the chest. "I am more powerful than you could imagine. True, that did hurt. A lot. But it didn't defeat me. Now, I will feast on your magical essence for years!" The demon laughed maniacally. But Aggrol wasn't ready to give up yet. Just as he was about to get up and continue his assault, he felt something underneath him. "Groundwater." he whispered. "What was that?" The demon asked. Aggrol was running out of options. He had to try it. "I said that there is groundwater underneath our feet right now." The demon stopped right in front of Aggrol. "Or more specifically, under your feet." With the little magical energy he had left, Aggrol summoned a gigantic pillar of water directly under the demon's feet. The water struck with such force that the demon was shot all the way up to the ceiling, and then back down again. It hit the ground with a sickening crunch. Aggrol walked over and kicked the demon. It was dead. "Well, that's not surprising. Not only was it hit by water, and it seemed like a very fiery being, but it also dropped from that height. That would kill many things." Aggrol stood up, and went to the exit. Nobody tried to stop him.
Well, unsurprisingly, Aggrol was victorious. But he has now accessed a new power, one that will show up on the next version of his Planeswalker card.
It's challenge day! Yay
Challenge #1 - A brave new world
You have arrived in this new world. The only knowledge you have is what you can see and hear around you. Is it a vast open field without the smallest indication of life or are there large cities just around the corner. The only thing you know is that you need to know where you are.
The challenge
You need to gather knowledge through either exploring the surroundings or ask the people that lives here. Maybe they don't want to share their information so that you have to take it by force. Or are there any other way to gather this knowledge?
Deadline - September 6th of 23:55/11:55 Pm (Thursday)
--- Since this is the first challenge I will explain what the text above means. You have a problem. You are lost without knowledge. You have to find a solution to this.
This might be done by:
*Drawing cards (gathering knowledge)
*Searching for lands from your library (exploring)
*Scry X (Exploring the clues)
*Looting/Draw and discard or discard and draw, (gather the important knowledge.
*Or something else that could solve this challenge.
As you probably see already is that some colors will have much more difficult to solve this problem. Here is where the creativity in the challenge lies. If you solve the challenge in a creative way then you are rewarded. Or maybe you want to keep your card slots for later challenges and thus taking a higher risk of being eliminated.
Most of these eliminations won't have a card limitation but as said earlier. You should cover most needs that a good ordinary deck would have with your total card collection.
This is also true for a balanced mana curve.
New stats
You won't be given a choice of new statistics as this is the first challenge to keep it simple. These will be better next week.
You have received the following:
1 common card slot (So a total of 3 with the current 2 you have.)
1 uncommon card slot (A total of 2 with the one you already have.
---Like I said, you don't need to use these slots for this challenge. You can keep them both, keep one and use one or use them together with earlier kept spell slots to increase your chances to survive the first elimination. Remember that challenge cards have a double potential points for that week and will be judged how well they solve that problem and how creative they are made.
When is it due?
This discussion has been closed.

Local "Angels" Surprise Seniors with Mother's Day Makeovers
Studies reveal new hairdo and fun on the town best gift of all for Mother's Day week!
(April 19, 2016) It's the time of year to honor Mom for all her love, patience and guidance. Despite the celebrations, Mother's Day week can be difficult for elderly moms who are widowed and live alone, far away from children and grandchildren. That's why local caregivers are whipping out the hairspray and rolling out the red carpet — surprising senior moms with a "Mother's Day Makeover" and a day on the town. This after a Harvard study found a new hairdo can improve health, lowering blood pressure. Another study shows seniors engaging in social activities are less likely to develop dementia. We invite you to follow along as we deliver "Mother's Day Makeovers!"
"We're delivering Mother's Day Makeover surprises because the studies show seniors who feel good about their appearance and are socially active are physically and mentally healthier than seniors who are more isolated," says Larry Meigs, CEO of Visiting Angels, one of the largest in-home senior care companies with a local office in our area. "If you can't be with Mom or Grandma to shower them with love in person, our caregivers can step in to make this a fun, warm and memorable Mother's Day week."
Why is Visiting Angels giving "Mother's Day Makeovers?"
The studies* show:
Mother's Day Makeovers can include:
"Our caregivers help busy families make Mom feel special, engaged and loved, whether you live near Mom or not," Meigs said. "Our angels are there to help seniors with meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation and companionship. They become like family and know how to make Mom feel loved during Mother's Day week and every day of the week."

Easing the burden of proof for MST victims
Lack of documentation is a frequent obstacle faced by military sexual trauma (MST) victims who have post-traumatic stress disorder. Without it, veterans cannot establish a service connection to their conditions and therefore cannot receive disability benefits.
The American Legion wants the Department of Veterans Affairs to change the way it adjudicates PTSD claims for victims of MST, so they are handled in the same manner as those of combat veterans.
In its July 18 testimony before a House subcommittee, the Legion noted that VA had voluntarily changed its claims regulations in 2010, making it easier for veterans who served in combat zones to obtain service connection for PTSD. That same relaxation of evidentiary requirements, said the Legion, should also be applied to MST victims.
Lori Perkio, assistant director of the Legion's Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation Division, testified before the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs subcommittee on disability assistance and memorial affairs.
"For victims of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) the most difficult point to prove is usually the occurrence of the event in service," Perkio testified. "There are a variety of reasons for this difficulty. Some of these reasons are institutional or even societal. Some of these reasons revolve around the circumstances and culture often associated with the triggering incidences."
Perkio referenced the various difficulties and sensitive subjects that MST victims often face in going through the process of earning service-connection status for PTSD. These are issues that VA was made aware of, she said, in a 2004 document on MST produced by the Veterans Health Initiative to VA health providers.
"The guide recognizes some of the 'downsides' veterans might face filing a claim," Perkio testified. "Veterans will be forced to undergo detailed descriptions of the horrifying events which have resulted in their present PTSD symptoms. Many veterans attach symbolic value to receiving service connection and could be further traumatized by repeated rejections and denials.
"Further complicating the process is that in many cases there may be no records which could verify a veteran's claim of assault or sexual trauma in service .... Even new military programs developed to help victims deal with sexual trauma in the military are often based on anonymity, to assuage concerns of victims who feel their reporting of the incident may adversely impact their career."
The anonymity is positive in that it might be increasing the number of victims who report trauma and receive help, but it could be having a disastrous longterm effect in that it's concealing assault incidents that would help earn service-connection status, Perkio said. Perkio testified that the key is looking at an MST claimant's record of behavior to determine if such a status declaration is merited.
"Recognizing the importance of types of evidence such as behavior changes, deterioration in work performance, substance abuse, episodes of depression, unexplained economic or social behavior changes and the like, the regulations show the difficulty inherent in proving the existence of the event in question," Perkio testified. "Despite the (VA) regulatory requirement to pay special attention to these types of information, American Legion service officers frequently report that this is not how these claims are actually adjudicated in the field."
Ultimately, the MST situation draws parallels to earning PTSD service-connection for combat veterans. Perkio said the VA should give PTSD claims from MST victims the same kind of lax evidentiary burden.
"There are clear parallels to the struggles of veterans fighting to be recognized with service connection for PTSD in combat situations and in situations of sexual trauma," Perkio said. "In both cases, the trauma contributes to lasting effects which can reach into every aspect of the veteran's life. In both cases, the reliving of the event as a necessary part of the process of service connection can be devastating and contribute to further trauma. In both cases, there is a long established understanding of the lack of available records to help validate the claim.
"With a doctor's detailed evaluation, and relating the PTSD to an event in service, the evidentiary requirement for MST victims could be treated in the same manner in which we treat combat veterans. If the described incident is consistent with the nature of sexual trauma and conforms to the diagnosis, the existence of the in service stressor should be conceded by VA."
The victims of military sexual trauma deserve better than to have to relive their experiences while going through the claims process.
"The veterans in question have already been terribly victimized," Perkio said. "Unlike combat veterans, they are unlikely to be hailed as heroes, although the courage to come forward and seek treatment is no less admirable. As a nation we must be reaching out to these veterans and telling them it is not only okay to come forward, but we have to reestablish trust with them.
"The system needs fixing, but it is not a complicated fix. The lessons of combat PTSD have shown us VA can make these changes on their own initiative, and The American Legion urges them to act now to do so for victims of MST."

Damon Dash Faces Financial Debt, Eviction
Dame Dash, the once powerful mogul and founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, is going through a financial crisis right now as he's knee-deep in personal debt.
According to the New York Daily News, the Harlem-born businessman is so broke he faces imminent eviction from his rented mansion in upstate New York.
"I am currently several months behind in paying my personal bills," he wrote in a five-page court document. "For instance, I am currently over $100,000 behind in rent for the only home in which I live and at risk of being evicted."
In a sworn statement, asking a judge not to garnish his wages, Dash also disclosed:
- He pays $24,000 every three months to his ex-wife, fashion designer Rachel Roy, for child support of their two kids, and to cover money owed on the lofts.
- New York State forces Dash to send another $4,341.10 per month for support of his son, Christian.
- He paid nearly $20,000 in garnished wages in late 2012 for other debts.
- And he faces a pending $40,000 tax payment for business earnings.
Elsewhere in the document, Dash states that he could be facing possible criminal prosecution for tax evasion in New Jersey. He also owes $2 million in New York State taxes and federal income taxes as well.
Despite his mounting bills, Dash insists he is in this situation because of legal battles that come with being an independent businessman. The 42-year-old currently runs art galleries in New York, Charleston, S.C., and Hong Kong.
"I'm an independent businessman and this is what comes from business," said Dash via an email from his attorney, Gregg A. Pinto. "I have the guts to fight my battles on my own and it's entertainment to everybody else because I'm so cool about it."

VoIP with FreeSWITCH
Outside the Local Switch
One advantage of VoIP is that you can make free or very low cost phone calls on the Internet. FreeSWITCH can route calls to and from the Internet, even if it is behind a NAT device. NAT devices cause all sorts of trouble for SIP calls; however, FreeSWITCH does a good job of working around these issues.
In many cases, the default configuration will work without any changes. A simple test is to call the FreeSWITCH public conference server. The SIP URI of this server is sip:email@example.com, and the default Dialplan will connect your phone if you simply dial 9888.
If your call is successful, you will hear a text-to-speech (TTS) voice announce your caller ID name or number. If you are the only person in the conference, you will also hear a recording saying so.
To call the conference with PortAudio, enter:
pa call sip:email@example.com
A number of service providers offer connection services to give you access to and from the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or simple SIP accounts. FreeSWITCH uses the concept of "gateways" to establish connections to these service providers. Gateways are used for outbound registrations to providers. If you already have a SIP provider, you will want to use the settings for that provider. The FreeSWITCH wiki has sample configurations for a number of providers [5]. In this example, I will show you how to set up a gateway for iptel.org, which offers free SIP accounts.
First, create an account on the iptel.org website [6] and note your username and password. Next, create a new file called iptel.org.xml in $CONF/sip_profiles/external. Be sure to put your username and password in the appropriate fields. The file should look like Listing 2.
Listing 2
Setting Up a Gateway for a SIP Account
Now save the file, then at the Free-SWITCH prompt, issue the command:
sofia profile external restart reloadxml
"Sofia" is the name of the SIP library [7] used by FreeSWITCH and is also the name of the command to perform SIP-related functions. (Just type sofia to see the syntax.) The above command tells FreeSWITCH to restart the external profile after reloading the XML data. The reloadxml is optional; however, if you've made changes to the XML data (by creating or editing a file), you will want those changes loaded when restarting the profile.
To see whether your system registered with iptel.org, issue the command:
sofia status
If your registration was successful, you will see a line like the following:
iptel gateway sip:email@example.com REGED
The REGED state means that the gateway is successfully registered to the provider. If you see FAIL_WAIT, then most likely you have a configuration problem.
The last step to receiving calls is to allow incoming calls in the Dialplan. The default configuration has a "public" Dialplan context that treats incoming calls from the Internet as inherently untrusted.
First you need to allow calls to your new iptel.org user, then you need to specify where to route those calls. To do so, create a new file called $CONF/dialplan/public/00_inbound_iptel.xml (or make a copy of the example file named 00_inbound_did.xml). It should look like Listing 3.
Listing 3
Be sure to specify your iptel.org username in the regular expression. Your username is the destination number. (Destination numbers are not restricted to numeric characters.)
The call is routed to the extension specified in parameters that are fed to the transfer application.
In my case, I routed to the MOH extension for the sake of testing. Also, you can route to your SIP phone. If you are registered as 1000, then the transfer destination is 1000 XML default. Save the file and then go to the FreeSWITCH prompt and press F6 (or type reloadxml) at the FreeSWITCH prompt.
To receive a call on your new account, you will need someone to make a SIP call to your new iptel.org SIP URI. In a pinch, you can test with PortAudio. At the FreeSWITCH prompt type:
pa call sip:firstname.lastname@example.com
A successful call will ring the destination extension.
High-Quality Codecs
Traditional telephone calls are of marginal sound quality and mobile phone calls are worse. FreeSWITCH delivers high-quality, voice-quality calls with free and open source codecs. The CELT [8] open source codec is high quality and lossless.
Also included with FreeSWITCH are the Siren [9] codecs from Polycom. These high-quality codecs are closed source but royalty free. The default configuration loads the Siren codecs.
To load the CELT codec, issue the load mod_celt command.
One thing to keep in mind is that higher quality codecs could expose limitations in your headset equipment. Most newer headsets and those that are listed as "Skype certified" will generally perform well with the higher quality codecs. Personally, I use a Logitech Clear Chat Pro USB headset with good success.
For testing, I recommend making a call to a friend who also has Free-SWITCH installed.
To start, make a PSTN or mobile phone call, then hang up and immediately make a call with a high-quality codec. With the use of PortAudio, it is easy to test. First, edit $CONF/autoload_configs/portaudio.xml. Locate the line <param name="sample-rate" value ="8000"/>, change the value to 48000, and save the file.
At the FreeSWITCH prompt issue these commands:
reloadxml reload mod_portaudio
Now make a call to your friend or call the FreeSWITCH conference:
pa call 9888
The audio quality should be much better, especially if you have a fast Internet connection. FreeSWITCH conferences can mix calls of any codec and any sampling rate. In fact, you can call in to the Free-SWITCH conference via the PSTN by dialing +1-213-799-1400 and compare the difference between the high-quality VoIP codecs and the low quality of the PSTN.
Where to Go Next
This brief introduction to FreeSWITCH barely scratches the surface of what this open source software can do. One way to put FreeSWITCH to practical use is presented by IBM's Rob Smart, who wrote a tutorial called "Home VOIP system using FreeSwitch and a Linksys 3102 voice gateway" [10] on how to set up FreeSWITCH as a home communications server in the UK.
A vibrant and growing community offers support to newcomers and veterans alike, so join this community and continue learning about the amazing possibilities of VoIP.

I know i have been so absent from my blog but there has been so much going on my life since arriving back to Illinois. As i posted the passing of my dad and step dad. I have been pretty private about the issues with my oldest son as it's a private issue for him. What i haven't posted about is mine and hubby's health issues.
Sunday afternoon before my dad passed away i began having chest pains. I took my medication and ignored it as i wanted to concentrate on my dad. I knew he was near the end of his life here on earth. After dad passed away I apparently fainted several times and finally an ambulance was called and i was rushed to the hospital. I was severely dehydrated and exhausted, plus the anxiety of all that had occurred the past few days. I didn't want to stay as i knew there was so much more to do for my dad so they released me to go with orders to check up with my regular doctor later. On Monday i fainted a few more times and my symptoms were not any better. I got through the funerals and came home to rest. I had planned to call my regular doctor on Monday for a follow up as my symptoms were getting worse. On Saturday i felt worse and the pain was getting stronger. I finally let my oldest son and husband talk me into going to the ER. After hours of waiting they finally decided i was going to be admitted for further testing. I was admitted to the Heart floor and given a room. The care i received was horrible, i was forgotten about and barely saw a nurse. My husband had to get me up and down to use the restroom even though i was told i was on complete bed rest and that wasn't allowed. Getting some one to assist me wasn't possible so i had no other choice. My husband learned to unhook all the equipment and re hook me up so i could go. Being hooked to an alarm for my heart and it being unhooked didn't seem to alarm them.
Finally around 11 am a doctor showed up to see me and said they were releasing me as there really wasn't anything they could do since it was close to the 4th of July and running needed test were not going to happen as they had wanted. I was glad to hear i was going home. I was told the nurse would be in shortly and get me released. Hours went by and no nurse, nothing. I had not had breakfast, lunch time went by and nothing. Finally around 2.30 PM housekeeping came in to clean my room and was surprised i was there. He spoke and i said i was waiting for a nurse to let me go home. He went and got a nurse and they came in and were surprised i was still there. Apparently between shift changes i had been forgotten about. About an hour later i was finally released to go home.
I was sent home on complete bed rest and to check up with my regular doctor. On Monday our regular doctor called and said that he needed to see us both on Tuesday morning. Hubby's blood test did not look good that he had taken earlier the week before. Today We both went to our appointment and both of us were scheduled to see specialists. I need to see a Cardiologist for further testing and hubby is seeing a kidney & orthopedist specialist. He has a severe kidney infection that has possibly moved to the joint of his left knee. He is running fever, cold chills and above his knee to his ankle his left leg is swollen and full of fever.
We are both on bed rest and hubby's has his appointment tomorrow July 5th in the afternoon, mine is July 18th. Please remember us in your prays. It's been a ruff few months for us.

Hi I want to know todays wedding costume in Korea. Korean student, Please tell me about your countrys trend of bridal. I have to do presentation about wedding clothes, Japan and other cultural comparison on class last project. Please give me information! Japanese traditionally bridal costume is mainly Shiromuku, Irouchikake and Hikifurisode. Today, Shiromuku is the most famous and popular than others. The costume is all in white. White color has image that pure and innocent, so it has a meaning that it can be steeped any other colors from now. It comes from princess of Buke. Irouchikake is very gorgeous. It is very colorful using flowery and brilliant color like red, gold, silver and so on. Today, brides tend to put on this when brides change their dress. This dress makes brides lovely and sweet. Hikifurisode is black. This dress was passed down from generation to generation. In the early years of Showa, most of brides married wearing this dress. Brides can wear this dress both marriage ceremony and at the wedding reception. This dress has much elegance, because it is used stylish, modern and classical design. These are traditional Japanese bridal costume. Recently, Japanese brides tend to put on Wedding dress and all of Japanese traditional bridal costume in marriage ceremony. It is called Oironaosi(changing costume). This trend is peculiar to Japan.

The career of an archaeologist usually has its ups and downs and is not a straight forward road. No surprise that I am again somehow between 2 jobs. Well, okay, I started my current job at the Research Centre of the "Keltenwelt am Glauberg" nearly 3 months ago (http://www.keltenwelt-glauberg.de/en/research-centre/the-research-centre/) – the museum is a must-see if you are interested in the Early Celts and if you want to see the rich burials of three Early Iron Age men with bronze flagons, gold rings and necklaces, prestigous brooches and many other things more, not to forget the life-size sand-stone statue of one of the buried persons).
But my past job as a stand-in for the Assistent Professorship for Digital Geoarchaeology at Bamberg University (https://www.uni-bamberg.de/ivga/) still needs my contribution: In my Bamberg time I had organised this summer's student field trip to Scotland.
On the Day of Archaeology 2016 we will visit the Corrimony Chambered Cairns (https://canmore.org.uk/site/12256/), Urquhart Castle (https://canmore.org.uk/site/12547/)
and the Glenelg Brochs (Dun Telve: https://canmore.org.uk/site/11798/ and Dun Troddan: https://canmore.org.uk/site/11797/) – definitely not the worst places to spend one's day!
We will travel around Scotland with it's rich and fascinating heritage to show the students places with a highly interesting landscapes and with sites from the Neolithic to the modern era.
This trip ties in to my research plans for investigations in Scotland, comparing indigenious societies and 'their landscapes' in the light of the Roman occupation in areas in Scotland and in the German state of Hesse. Meeting various Scottish colleagues to talk about this project idea will be part fo the trip as will be the preparation of a special exhibition we plan at the Glauberg museum (more to come as soon as our ideas become more 'stable'). So it's a great opportunity to combine old obligations with plans in my new job (and of course with enjoying Scotland, its landscapes, its archaeology and last but definitely not least its people and their various [cereal] products).
As I will most likely not be extensively online (and not in the mood to work online) too often during that trip I will use the images of a previous trip to Scotland to illustrate this day in the highlands. I might however – depending on my mood – use Twitter (@posluschny) every now and then.
