Lloyd Harbor is a village in Suffolk County, New York, on the North Shore of Long Island. The Incorporated Village of Lloyd Harbor is located in the Town of Huntington. In 1654, the Matinecock Native Americans sold 3,000 acres of what is now called Lloyd Neck to English settlers from Oyster Bay. The Matinecock referred to the region as Caumsett ("place by sharp rock"). In 1676, James Lloyd acquired the neck, which was then taken over by his son Henry. After his father's death in 1763, son Joseph built the Joseph Lloyd Manor House, which he was forced to abandon by the British during the Revolutionary War. Henry Lloyd IV was the last Lloyd to own the estate, in 1841. In the 1880s, it became a stop for steamboats coming from New York City, bringing tourists and wealthy New Yorkers. In 1885, Lloyd Neck, which was then part of the town of Oyster Bay and had earlier been known as Queens Village, seceded from Queens County and became part of the town of Huntington in Suffolk County.

ShangrilaGems 'The Best Gems on the Web!' Gem-A Corporate Member ShangrilaGems are ETHICAL MANUFACTURERS
Rare gemstone here - This is a super rare gemstone - psilomelane in concentric circles in quartz.
Psilomelane is mostly made up of the mineral Romanechite. Though its mineral name is losing its significance, it is still in use around the world as the name is applied to hydrated barium bearing manganese specimens. Psilomelane is an important ore of manganese. Manganese is a valuable metal and is an essential ingredient in steel as well as other alloys. With the stripes of grey pyrolusite, Psilomelane is an attractive polished stone and an ideal piece to wear. Psilomelane is erroneously, and uncommonly, known as black hematite, despite not being related to true hematite, which is an iron oxide.
*It is mined in the UK, South Africa, Canada and the USA. *These stones are from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
Healing Properties: In emotional crystal healing this helps us identify and utilise positive emotional behaviours and stop using nehative emotional behaviours. In physical terms, Psilomelane is utilised in folk healing and crystal healing where it cures various problems related to lungs including its clearance, its walls, pneumonia, skin infections, diabetes, insulin control, carbohydrate conversion. In Mexico Psilomelane originally originates from the Silver Crown Mine that's why its alternate name is kept after this mine only, "Crown of Silver". Psilomelane gemstone is linked with the Third Eye chakra and its associated strong powers lay between the three chakras, Root Chakra, Crown Chakra and Third Eye Chakra.
Lovely shimmer and fire.

LIMA — Kari Taylor, of Cornerstone of Hope, will be the guest speaker at the Lima Rotary Club's meeting at noon Jan. 14 at the North Hall of the Veterans Memorial Civic Center, 7 Town Square, Lima.
Lima, OH - Kari Taylor from Cornerstone of Hope is the guest speaker at the Lima Rotary Club on Monday, January 14. Cornerstone of Hope is dedicated to providing support, education, and hope for the grieving. In May of 2000, Mark and Christi Tripodi experienced what no parent is prepared to go through - the sudden and tragic death of their three-year-old son, Bobby. After recovering from the disbelief of what had just happened, they sought support for themselves and their surviving children; reaching for an outlet to safely grieve as individuals and as a family.
Unfortunately, what they found was a significant lack of community grief support options. They found local groups that met on a monthly basis, most meeting in hospices, church basements, or temporarily-converted office suites. But monthly gatherings were not frequent enough for the newness of their grief. And the short-term environments did not convey the comfort, compassion, and hope they needed to mend the brokenness they felt within.
So, the Tripodis decided to begin searching for organizations dedicated to bereavement care that could aid them in their difficult journey. They visited a number of dynamic centers across the country which offered support to grieving families and, in time, found something that worked for them. They began to feel the hope to move forward and begin living again.
In that healing, the Tripodi's realized the gift they had been given in their own bereavement care. They began to see that there were so many people like them in their community who needed similar grief support. As a way to honor their son's life, it became the Tripodi's mission to make quality grief support available.
In 2003, Mark and Christi Tripodi founded Cornerstone of Hope, to not only help people understand and accept their grief, but to help them move forward and embrace a life full of hope. The Lima Rotary Club meets in the North Hall of the Veterans Memorial Civic & Convention Center at 7 Town Square at noon every Monday. The media are encouraged to cover our meetings.

Hi friends! Summer is right around the corner and, I don't know about you, but I love slowing down and simplifying whenever this time of year rolls around. Maybe this is a holdover from childhood? When summer offered a break from school and extracurriculars and life just went with the flow for a few months.
Unfortunately, adult-life is a little different than kid-life (boooo!). But that doesn't mean you can't take a page from your kid-self book this summer season and set a few intentions to help you simplify. Here are a few of my favorite ways…
Clean out your closet.
Have you ever gone through your closet and realized how many items you're holding on to that you haven't worn in AGES?? *sheepishly raises hand* Our impending move has offered me a great excuse to really go through my wardrobe with a fine tooth comb. I encourage you to take a peek in your own closet, too!
Get rid of clutter.
Material possessions that you're no longer putting to use may bring joy to someone else! Pass things along when you can or donate to a charity. Whenever I do this I find that it actually ADDS value to the items I DO cherish and use.
Clear out your fridge.
You never know what you might find in there! 😉
Clear out your email inbox.
Have you ever done this? I'm kind of an email hoarder if I'm being honest. Thankfully, a well-organized Gmail folder system lets me hang on to my emails without a cluttered inbox. However, I'll never forget the time my friend Adam "helped me" clean up my email account by deleting everything that was over 2 years old and I about had an anxiety attack.
Simplify your diet.
Obviously you should do this in whatever way feels fitting for you and YOUR body. But the way I like to simplify my diet is by reducing the amount of dairy, gluten, and sugar I consume. Summer brings about so much beautiful produce. Why not let it be the star of the show at meal time?!
That's it for today, y'all. Happy simplifying!!

VideoFix: The most important language you will ever learn
February 3, 2019 10:30 am
How many languages do you speak? Probably more than you first think. Because, have you ever stopped to read the meaning of "language"? The speaker of this video, Poet Ali, shows us that sometimes the context is much more important: the subject of which we speak and which we can identify with as opposed to the "language" in which we express ourselves. A good video to reflect on the relationship between languages and the way we relate to and interpret the world.

There is not much information out there about Tahi Manuka Honey. This lack of information is a significant disadvantage for us. This type of honey can be beneficial, used to heal various types of wounds or ailments in the body.
This honey is fast becoming a must-have treatment at home. It has been proven to kill germs and clean wounds up. It also helps in getting rid of bacteria that are resistant to other conventional antibiotics in the market. Many sources have also shown that Manuka honey can be used to help treat different conditions. These include acne and sinus issues like sinus infections. It can also treat mild to severe allergies.
There is not a lot of information about Tahi Manuka honey out there, because it has only recently started usage as a traditional remedy source. The honey gets its name from the Manuka scrub plant found in New Zealand. Honey bees brought the European plant to America for the first time in the early 19th century thanks to their powerful pollination abilities. When bees see the Manuka plant and carry out pollination, they end up making honey, which is more potent than ever. The potency is because Manuka has a high concentration of MGO.
What can Manuka Honey do for you?
Raw honey, in general, is considered one of the best superfoods out there. While Manuka is not raw honey, it is a functional food. It is both antibacterial and resistant to bacteria. As a result, nothing can build up a tolerance to it. If you invest in this superfood honey, then you will have something in your home that can treat things like:
- Sore throats
- acne on the face and body
- cleans and heals cuts and wounds
- cleans and heals infections
- can help ease stomach aches
- helps improve digestion
- helps to strengthen your immune system
- gives you a healthy source of sustainable energy
Is there research to back up the claims?
You have probably heard people go on and on about the magic of the supplements they are taking. Others may claim how essential oils are changing their lives. They may be benefiting from these things in some cases, but one fact remains. There is no scientific evidence to support what they claim to do for you.
Manuka, however, has been scientifically and clinically proven that it does what it says it will do.
How it heals wounds
Manuka can help heal wounds because of its acidic properties. The acid in the honey helps to promote healing and promotes the growth of peptides that the body needs to help heal itself. It also has a high concentration of sugar, which helps keep the wound safe from the environment so that it can heal faster.
Manuka has a lot of antiviral properties
We used raw honey for centuries due to its antibodies, but recent studies have shown that Manuka goes a step further by actively attacking germs. As a result, it can help heal minor scrapes and significant wounds.
The FDA has approved bandages made with Manuka infused in it to promote healing, which speaks volumes about its potency.
It has tons of antibacterial properties
There are dozens of strains of bacteria that enter our bodies and make us sick that are susceptible to being taken down by Manuka. Researchers show that Manuka can attack infections head-on and even cure infections that are thought to be untreatable. As of today, there are no microbes that can resist the power of this honey. Hence, it is currently considered the last resort when taking on awful infections.
How can you use Tahi Manuka
For skincare: If you are hoping to add this honey to your skincare routine, you should apply a thin layer of honey on the skin surface. After 15 minutes, you can wash it off. For better results, you can leave it for an hour or more.
For digestion: Take 1-2 tablespoons of Manuka by mouth per day either straight on a spoon or by putting it on food.
Wound care: Put honey on a bandage and use it on the wound. You may have to change the dressing frequently due to the potential leakage from the dressing reducing its efficacy.
Manuka is very safe for the majority of people to ingest. There is no cap as to how much you can take. However, if you have allergies to any other type of honey, then you should talk to a doctor before trying Manuka. Such discussions will help prevent allergic reactions.

Immediate Need
No matter if a death is sudden, or if it was anticipated, the loss of a loved one makes us feel emotional and overwhelmed. No amount of preparation can fully prepare you for the loss of a loved one. When you are in a heightened emotional state, even the most basic decisions can seem staggering. The following is a rough guideline of what needs to be done within the first 24 hours after death.
When death occurs at home or a place of business
If the person was not under hospice care, the police will have to be notified immediately. The police will be dispatched to the home and place the call to the coroner/medical examiner. From there the coroner/medical examiner will take the body and determine whether further action is necessary. The coroner/medical examiner must release the body before a funeral home can do anything. If the person was under hospice care, contact the hospice representative if they were not present and they will notify family members of what the proper procedures are to follow.
When a death occurs at a hospital/nursing home/hospice facility
The staff of a care facility such as a hospital or a nursing home will notify you and the necessary authorities immediately after a death has occurred. If a funeral home has been provided to the hospital or nursing home, they will be notified at the time of death. If you are present at the hospital when the funeral director arrives, they will ask a few questions about the deceased wishes and set up a time to come into the funeral home to make arrangements, however, if you are not present, a funeral director will contact you by telephone to discuss these arrangements.
Informing us
Once everything has been cleared with the proper authorities, the next call you place should be to a licensed funeral director. Funeral directors are here to help you obtain a death certificate, transport the body, and in the event pre-planning was not done, select a casket/urn and arrange the funeral/memorial service. The funeral director will also help you notify the employer and insurance company of the deceased to assist with those arrangements. Funeral directors are here to help and advise you and will work very hard to relieve the stress and logistics involved in funeral planning.
Preparing for the meeting...
We understand that following the death of a loved one that families are exhausted and details can seem to be a blur. To help assist you and to make our meeting as easy as possible we have created a simple list of things you could do to prepare for it.
Take a few minutes to fill-in and submit our family information form online. This will ensure that we have most of the basic information required and will help cut down our meeting time significantly so you and your family can get some much needed rest.
Take a look at our Themes by going to http://vaellaconsulting.com/ilib/home.php and clicking Image Library this theme will be used on your folks stationary such as the Guest Book, Bulletins, Bookmarks, Condolence Binder, Thank You Cards and DVD Covers. By choosing the theme that best represents your loved one, we can ensure that their visitation and funeral arrangements will be personalized and will best represent their personality and character.
Meeting with our Funeral Directors
You should meet with a funeral director within 24 hours of a death to begin to make final arrangements for your loved one. Deciding on these final arrangements may seem like a very daunting task, especially when you are in a heightened emotional state, but, funeral home staff have years of experience dealing with these issues, and strive to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.
Making Arrangements
First the Funeral Director will gather information required for the death certificate. This includes:
- Full Name and Address
- Marital Status
- Date and City of Birth
- Father's Name, Mother's Name (including maiden name)
- Name of Spouse (if married or widowed)
- Occupation
Things you can bring...
An updated or favourite photo of your loved one to go with their death notice and their stationary. We can crop and fix most photos if they are too close to others or the background is too busy.
Their Social Insurance Number and Medicare if your able to locate it, this is not time sensitive and can be phone in afterwards if they are too difficult to obtain for our meeting.
Clothes for your loved one if they are to be buried in a casket.
What to Expect when you arrive at the Funeral Home...
With regards to what will happen when you arrive at the funeral home, while we can't speak to every situation, we can tell you the basics of what to expect.
When you come through the front door, you will be greeted warmly by a staff member. Names will be exchanged, hands shaken, and some words of comfort will be offered.
You will be directed to the funeral director's office or arrangement room and offered a coffee/tea.
We will sit down and begin our arrangement meeting and will be as efficient as possible ensuring to cover all the details and fine points.
In the end...
We will guide you through the entire arrangement process, explaining how you can create a memorable, personal celebration of your loved one's life. Unlike a birthday or an anniversary, a funeral only happens once, so we will strive to do everything we can to appropriately honour the life of your loved one. Providing you with the information and knowledge we have learned over the years will enable you to select and personalize the most meaningful arrangements. This will ensure that family and friends left behind are able to properly grieve, express, and heal. Remember to take a moment and fill out our online form linked above.
Please feel free to contact us at any time, we are always just a phone call away at 506-433-1176.

A number of illegal Jewish Israeli settlers recently attempted to abduct two Palestinian children in the village of Madma, to the south of the West Bank city of Nablus.
Talaat Ziyadeh, member of the village council, said, according to Days of Palestine, that the settlers descended from the illegal settlement of Yitzhar, stormed the village and chased two Palestinian children.
Ziyadeh said that these children are shepherds and they were feeding their goats in the outskirts of the village when the settlers attempted to abduct them.
Speaking to Quds Press, Ziyadeh said that a number of the villagers saw the chase and immediately intervened.
In the wake of the failed abduction attempt, confrontations broke out between Palestinian villagers and the Israeli settlers.
The¬† settlers called on Israeli occupation forces, who were protecting them. 'ÄúWhen the Israeli occupation forces arrived, they fired tear gas and sound bombs to disperse the Palestinian villagers and allow the settlers to safely withdraw,'ÄĚ Ziyadeh said.

One of the most famous macronutrients is definitely protein. It isn't any close to fat and carbs, but we still have to intake enough of it. Many people think of meat or animal products when they hear of protein, but in fact, there are also some vegetarian products we can consume and contain lots of protein.
Eggs, for example, are excellent since they contain plenty of nutrients and protein, but you must consume them moderately since you can become sensitive to them or develop an allergy.
What is Protein?
When our intestines digest protein, we actually divide amino acids into smaller pieces of amino acid. So, if we combine one group of several amino acids, we get protein.
Every amino acid is important. It can do fantastic stuff like for example, the amino acid which is called phenylalanine. In the end, it becomes dopamine that is actually a neurotransmitter which makes us happy. There are two types of amino acids: essential as well as non-essential.
We must intake the essential ones from our diet, while we create the non-essential ourselves.
Why Do We Need Protein?
Without protein, our health will deteriorate. Our body will break down our muscle tissue so that we can obtain the amino acids that we need to survive.
Protein is very important since we need it to help us repair as well as later build muscle mass. We all know that protein supplements are pretty much used nowadays. We also need protein to create neurotransmitters like melatonin, dopamine and serotonin.
Without them, it would be impossible for us to function. We also need protein to create enzymes, hormones as well as antibodies which help us transport various types of substances throughout our body. Protein is extremely important for good health.
How Much Protein Do We Need?
The World Health Organization (WHO) claims that we need at least .13g/lb of protein per our body weight. We need to consume this amount every day if we want to prevent muscle deterioration as well as to be in good health. WHO officially recommends that it would be best to consume .30g/lb of protein.
Elderly people need a higher consumption of protein than younger, so it would be best to try and see what works for you the best. Make sure you don't intake too much protein as you can overburden your liver.
How Can We Get Protein?
Animal products like eggs, meat and fish contain the highest amounts of protein. Still, there are also some products which can also be consumed by vegans and vegetarians and are fuller in protein than eggs. Here, we're going to present you a list of 10 foods with high amounts of protein that you should try and intake as much as you can!
10 Foods With More Protein Than An Egg
1 egg contains about 6 grams of protein. The following foods contain even more protein than that! Check them out!
1. Almond Butter
In 50 grams of almond butter there are 10 grams of protein. It also contains plenty of biotin, healthy fats, manganese and vitamin E. Add it into your smoothies! They will be delicious!
2. Hemp Hearts
These contain 16 grams of protein per 50 grams. They are full of omega-3 fats. Just put them onto salads or into smoothies!
3. Pumpkin Seeds
50 grams of pumpkin seeds contain 8 grams of protein. They contain plenty of magnesium that we need for energy. They can also help us kill parasites. Use them into salads or as a snack! They're delicious!
4. Nutritional Yeast
50 grams of nutritional yeast contain 25 grams of protein. Another name for nutritional yeast is Noosh. It also contains plenty of B-12. Its flavor is nutty and cheesy. You can use it in everything!
5. Dulse
50 grams of dulse contain 16 grams of protein. Dulse is a type of sea vegetable which contains plenty of fiber and protein, but also iodine and potassium. Use it into salads, soups etc.
6. Chlorella
50 grams of chlorella contain 29 grams of protein. This is a superfood. It's algae which is mostly used for detoxification. It contains iron, vitamin A, magnesium and calcium. Its taste is not so good, so use it into shakes and smoothies!
7. Spirulina
50 grams of spirulina contain 28 grams of protein. It's also algae considered to be superfood. It can help you in the process of detoxification because it contains magnesium, vitamin K, vitamin B and potassium.
8. Cacao Nibs
In 50 grams of these nibs there are 7 grams of protein. Cacao is different from cocoa because of the fact that it contains living enzymes which are intact and are extremely beneficial for our digestion. Cacao is also a superfood because it contains fiber content, calcium and magnesium. It can boost our mood in a second!
9. Flax Seeds
50 grams of these amazing seeds contain 9 grams of protein. They also contain omega-3 that can help you decrease inflammation. Another thing they also contain is fiber. Ground flax is the best option to consume since it keeps the beneficial oils. Use it anyway you want to!
10. Tahini
50 grams of tahini contain 10 grams of protein. This is actually sesame seeds that are crushed and then roasted. They contain plenty of vitamins and minerals: manganese, zinc, etc. A great way to prepare tahini is with some steamed vegetables like cauliflower or broccoli!
We need protein for various important functions of our organism. .2-.8g/lb a day is necessary in order to keep us healthy and vital. Try to use more of these vegetables and products if you don't want to intake products of animal origin. You'll see that your whole health will improve significantly and you'll feel more amazing than ever!

Panel 1:
Ada and her friend, Sierra sit at a tall bar table in a fairly nice looking bar. Both are drinking cocktails
Sierra: You signed up as a villain?
Ada, looking sheepish: I don't know, it just sounded more exciting. Plus this way the strangers I'm meeting have sworn to uphold the law.
Panel 2:
Over Sierra's shoulder. Ada is looking down at her drink
Sierra: Does that mean you're going to be committing crimes? Kidnapping babies and snatching purses?
Ada: No I mean...I don't want to hurt anyone, I just thought it would be fun to plan heists and make dramatic monologues. Bond villains always get the best speeches
Panel 3:
Same framing as panel 1
Ada: Anyway, no one is going to pick me as their arch enemy. My powers aren't even very useful. I'm just worried I'm wasting my time at a boring office job
Panel 4:
Over Ada's shoulder. Sierra is mock-frowning at Ada
Sierra: As your normal, non-super powered coworker: ouch! I think you have to get me the next round for that jab.
Panel 5:
Ada walks away from their table towards the bar
Ada: Round two coming right up

Wedding plans and flower arrangements used for the occasion follow the personal preferences of the bride and groom. The couple-to-be has the final say on concerns like, when and where the wedding and reception will be, style of the attire for the whole entourage, type of wedding, the color motif, and the flowers to be used.
The wedding flower arrangement usually sets the mood for the event. Flower arrangements include the flowers, colors, greenery and garnish--from the bridal bouquet to the centerpieces on tables. There are flower arrangements you can order online and have delivered to the venue. Some florists do these in standard preparations, but most of them do the flower arrangements themselves, to give each arrangement their personal touch. Small flowers floating in bowls of water or attached to candles can be used as centerpieces. Entrances can be dressed up with flowers placed in archways. In doing the flower arrangements, the color scheme should be considered so that the ribbons, beads and flowers would complement each other.
It is the job of a good florist to match the flower arrangements with the location of the wedding, location of the reception, and the color of the gowns of the bride, bridesmaids, and flower girls. He sets the mood for the wedding and prepares the bouquet that will give the final elegant look to the bride. Bouquets come in different shapes and sizes. Here are some of the most popular flower arrangements for weddings:
Wedding flower arrangement for centerpieces can have the following forms:
Flowers like roses, tulips, orchids, calla lilies and lily of the valley make any wedding beautiful and memorable. Wedding flowers enhance the beauty of the bride and her entourage. They express the feelings the couples have for each other. They also set the place in a romantic mood. A wedding would not be complete without the wedding flower arrangements.

3 Odd Things About The Tomb Raider Xbox One Exclusive
Pages 1 2 NEXT
3 Odd Things About The Tomb Raider Xbox One Exclusive
Rise of the Tomb Raider as an Xbox One exclusive just seems odd on a few levels. We'll let Shamus explain.
Deals like this are why I'm convinced Microsoft is actively trying to torpedo the Xbox as a thing. It simply doesn't make any sense otherwise, no matter how I slice it. Microsoft has to spend enough money that Squeenix sees the large short-term and small-moderate long-term drop in sales as worth it, but then they go and piss away the vast majority of what they just bought. It makes no sense to me.
I can see Squeenix taking the deal, it's not exactly a secret how poorly they've been doing lately, and an infusion of several million dollars, if not more, would be very welcome to them. I just can't see any reason why Microsoft would make the offer in the first place and then handle it the way they have.
Seems simple to me: Microsoft is getting desperate for anything to increase XBone sales, and Squeenix needed some fast cash.
Platform exclusive deals are about altering the risk/reward profile. You might potentially lose profit over the long term but you do get a guaranteed lump sum now. AAA games are fairly capital intensive and if you step back and view the publishers portfolio as whole you might want to reduce the risk on the portfolio and ensure cash flow by accepting an exclusive deal. Any large business tries to have different risk profiles across its offerings. Ideally you you want everything to be low risk/high reward but in the real world that isn't possible, so you have low risk/ low reward to high risk/ high reward profiles.
The only reason Microsoft announced that it was a timed exclusive is that it was so obvious, everybody knew it the moment the news was out. But I bet that Microsoft wasn't counting on that. The whole deal seems so short-sighted, it boggles the mind that adult businessmen could think that it's a good idea.
So how many Xbones can Microsoft sell because of this deal? Not enough to justify paying for it. I'm sure of that. Tomb Raider is good, but it's not a system seller, especially since the cat is officially out of the bag.
They did not do this to sell Xones they did it to make their press conference seem like the Xone was awesome with lots of exclusive content.
That would have been covered by something like at E3 where MS neglected to announce that MGSV was coming to non-Xbox platforms at thier conference.
In fairness, Sony also tried to make it sound like the next-gen GTA V was only coming to PS4 and not XBox One.
In fairness I don't think anyone is claiming Tomb Raider is going to be a massive system seller, I think that with lots of games coming in September/October time and after that Christmas, it's reaching the point where lots of people who have been holding off getting a next-gen console are going to take the plunge. Microsoft wants to make sure they plump for the XBox and, given there's not too much to separate them at the moment, having an extra exclusive (albeit still not out till 2015) might swing it slightly (I'm not saying its going to work, just that's maybe the thinking) Rise of the Tomb Raider was probably the cheapest AAA game they could find (or rather offered most bang for buck in whatever spreadsheet projection they were using).
Does the TR HD update even have any advantage over the existing PC version?
As for exclusivity, it is rarely absolute. Yes, some people will consciously buy a console just to play a particular game. But mostly it's about rationalization. Say I start to look at the xbone in relation to TR. Then I notice it has a couple of other interesting exclusive games (Halo or whatever) and I rationalize that if I buy the xbone, I can play those other games as well. Or I can find some other reason.
Or it can actually be quite rational - say I'd like to play 10 games this year, with 3 of them being exclusive to xbone, 2 for the PS4 and 5 are multiplatform. If I want to buy a console right now, then the xbone has an advantage even when one of those exclusives are only for a limited period.
The marketing people probably have this figured out - not saying they are right, it's certainly a lottery but they probably had their reasons, as stupid as they may be.
Like a lot of Xbox's marketing moves, what should have been a positive on their end blew up in their face as a massive PR nightmare.
Here's the thing... even Xbox owners are claiming to be upset (myself included), because this doesn't benefit us either. We were going to get the game anyway. So rather than invest in their OWN stagnating and struggling properties and studios, and improving Xbox owners' experience, they spent those millions simply denying other people fun instead.
This isn't new. Someone brought up the fact Microsoft spent over $400 million securing the rights to an exclusive NFL app for Xbox... the same amount of money Rockstar and 2K Games spent making Grand Theft Auto V.
Microsoft uses money like a hammer, and views every problem as a nail.
They invest in "names" but not in talent. They bought Halo but let Bungie go because they wanted to work on something new (Destiny now the most pre-ordered game in history). They bought Gears of War, but Epic moved on (Gears of War: Judgment didn't light up the charts). They bought RARE and have simply sat on Conker, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Jet Force Gemini, Blast Corps., Kameo, and Battletoads.
This is going to hurt the Tomb Raider franchise, right when it was FINALLY gaining momentum again, and it's not going to convince people to pick up an Xbox One. If anything, like the over 10 million PS4 owners, 80 million PS3 owners, and 70 million Steam owners, it makes non-Xbox owners angry and bitter at the company. It doesn't motivate them to buy a system; it motivates them to hold a grudge against them for taking away a series they loved.
This happened with Resident Evil going exclusive to Gamecube for awhile. Spoiler: it didn't work out. Nintendo hoped the millions of Resident Evil fans would buy the system and get some hardcore gamers onboard. Resident Evil fans didn't show up. The games were the worst-selling in the series, outsold by PS2 spin-offs instead. They lost a lot of money, and Capcom overhauled the whole thing to have less scary elements to reach a wider audience and recoup losses, damage the brand still hasn't recovered from. Gamecube sales did not pick up.
Microsoft apparently didn't study their history.
I would be willing to bet the first advertisement period is going to be paid for by Microsoft, with the second covered by Square Enix.
The first point rings the truest to me. Why would you slash your consumer base so badly with a game that, while it was pretty good, was not a ground-breaking hit like they wanted? I simply cannot fathom it.
If Microsoft really wants to sell Xbox Ones so badly that they are making crazy money decisions, then I suggest they find some way to make 360 games work on it. That would get me to buy one instantly. I could play my old games on the new system, not have to worry about losing more space because it would just go where the 360 was, and when a game comes out, I would be ready to go.
"But the most bizarre thing to me is that that this sort of thing works - there really are people out there who will buy a $400 console so they can play a $60 video game. I love this game as much as anyone (see the first paragraph) and I'm even willing to buy the game again for a small graphical upgrade. But there's no way I'd buy an Xbox One to play it - not even the recently discounted Kinect-free version. But clearly there must be people who do that sort of thing, or else deals like this wouldn't exist."
This happens with themed console bundles all the time I know enough people who have to have the special coloured console to have 4 working 360's and don't get me started on the legions of Japanese DS/3DS owners who buy the special edition console play the game then sell it for 30% of what they paid after a week then go and do it again with the next themed handheld.
That's what I wondered too. I had gotten the impression that it was essentially a port of the PC version with all the settings cranked up. Stuff like tessellation and TressFX that the older systems couldn't handle. Especially TressFX - I've always suspected that they partnered with AMD on that because they knew that AMD would be producing the CPUs and GPUs in the current-gen consoles, but didn't realize the release dates on them were still so far away.
Since Squeenix spat in my face with this deal, there is no way I am going to buy their game when it arrives on PC. And who knows, maybe not the next either. They have distanced themselves from me. The customer. It baffles me that this kind of thing does not seem to have a long lasting effect.
One should think brand-recognition and reputation was important. Especially in a field that lives and breathes on the internet, where rumor (and not to mention rage) travels at the speed of light.
Not too long ago I pre-purchased Witcher 3. I dont know much about it, I know it will be open world, and I'm a bit skeptical about that. But I love the work of CD Project, I loved their previous games and last, but not least I love their policies as a company.
I like them. I am a fan. That makes it easy for me to decide to buy their products. Hell, I've bought a lot of stuff on gog.com just to support them. This is the kind of goodwill you cant buy for money. You have to WORK to EARN it. How the hell it can be long-term financially viable to squander the goodwill of ones fans...I just dont get.
I was with you up until you got to point three. Specifically...
"but for Microsoft there was nothing to be gained and everything to lose by coming out and admitting that you won't need to buy an Xbox One to get the game. It undercuts the only thing they have to gain in this deal: The potential to sell consoles."
You see I think MS had more to lose by trying to keep it a secret. Perhaps the only thing MS learned during the initial Xbone release was that misinformation bordering on straight out lies will, more often than not, lead to general distain and bad will from the public resulting in a devastating income loss. If they had not said anything and SE were the ones to break the news everyone would roll their eyes and say, "Typical MS, telling us a lie and then doing a 180." The chance to show themselves as the honest up front ones may very well have been worth the cost to buy a limited exclusivity deal.
This reeks of desperation. Microsoft is getting pummeled this generation because their console is a bit shit and costs more. They try to turn this around with trickery rather than making their console genuinely better to develop for or more user friendly.
This will not end well. For one, I'm dedicated to not giving the Xbox One a single cent. I'd rather wait a few months and get a superior version of the game than pay for a crappy version to go with a crappy console and pay 10 times as much.
But they HAVEN'T been upfront about it. They've, in fact, contradicted their messaging on this about a half-dozen times, and they specifically commented on this issue THREE times, muddling the issue further and further. Even Sony is joking about it at their expense.
I mean, compare and contrast:
Sony was clear and upfront. Microsoft only admitted the deal had "a duration" after the collective internet threw a huge ball of hate their way demanding clarification.
Take a look:
I notice that they have changed Laras' face a bit. Look at the radio tower comparison about two minutes in. PC Lara is just a high res version of PS3/360 Lara. But PS4/xbone Laras have remodelled faces. It's not a clear improvement, but it's not simply inferior to the PC version either.
Nobody buys a console just to own the console. It's always about games. And most people don't actually play all that many games. So, a single must-play game can easily swing a decision. They're not necessarily paying the full $460 for one game.
Heck, when I saw Homeworld, I went right out and bought a $1500 computer. Sooner or later I was going to do that anyway. But it certainly pushed my schedule up a bit.
I'm curious if the following hypothesis holds any weight:
What if this whole thing is Square Enix, wary of poor launch sales of the last Tomb Raider not meeting their quarterly estimates, decided to offer limited exclusivity to Microsoft allowing them to justifiably set a lower sales estimate considering the smaller install base. After the exclusivity is lifted, they can then relaunch on the other consoles without adjusting their estimates while still operating on a different quarter and then consolidate those sales numbers into their already lowered launch estimate.
This would allow Sqare Enix to get a little extra money from Microsoft, buffer their launch window, and spin their sales numbers up for their shareholders.
What do you guys think?
True, but even as somebody who owns an Xbox One, I have almost no incentive to buy Rise of the Tomb Raider for Xbox One. The last game was VASTLY superior on the PS4 and PC, with nearly double the framerate and significantly higher resolution. Even with an Xbox One, I would tell people to wait it out for the superior version of the game, because the Xbox One version was the worst performer out of the next-gen platforms.
There's always someone with boatloads of cash to spend $460 for just one game, but the majority of gamers aren't that hardcore, and Tomb Raider in particular just doesn't have a strong enough fanbase to rationalize jumping ship like that.
History proved that when Resident Evil went exclusive to Gamecube for awhile. Resident Evil was a bigger franchise at that point than Tomb Raider was now, coming off of being some of the best-selling Playstation games of all time. Nintendo and Capcom expected Resident Evil fans to simply migrate to the Gamecube... but it didn't happen. The games were GREAT, mind you, but millions of fans did not suddenly buy Gamecubes. The games, in fact, were the worst-selling games in the series, Gamecube sales did NOT improve, and Capcom lost so much money they overhauled the whole series to reach a wider audience to cover the losses, losing some of the horror elements hardcore fans loved, and the series still hasn't fully recovered from that decision. The plan did not pay off and Resident Evil fans simply chose to not buy the games on a system they weren't interested in, and instead bought spin-offs like Outbreak instead (which outsold the Gamecube games that were supposed to be the main releases).
Microsoft apparently never studied their history if they expect to do the same thing, on worse terms, with a worse deal, with a lesser property, with 10+ more years of PC and Playstation franchise history mucking up the proceedings.
The desire to seem more transparent is probably a good point; but it comes across as a bit "indecisive"; as Shamus mentions these sort of deals are always vaguely anti-consumer, we lose from them (except I suppose if you take the absolutely big picture view and say that these deals make the industry work) overall. So according to your view their strategy is: "Hey, we're being vaguely anti-consumer... but at least we're being honest about it!"? Does that come out as a net PR gain? Maybe? I do agree, transparency is probably what they're going for, but it's still a bit odd in my book.
That is an excellent point that I don't think has been picked up as well as it should be.
While I don't think the Xbox One has as big of a gap to the PS4 as the Gamecube to PS2 had but this is still an almost perfect example.
Resident Evil isn't a system seller to the masses (for example, something like Call of Duty where people will buy a system and ONLY play Call of Duty on it) and I feel like Tomb Raider is in that same exact boat. It's not going to be a system seller to the masses. If a gamer wants to play Tomb Raider and have even the slightest amount of patience, they have no reason to force themselves onto a system that they may not want.
It might catch a small group of people who really want to play Tomb Raider but don't want to wait but I feel that overall, history is coming back around.
If you'll humor me, I'd like to summarize this entire article into a "TL:DR" image. Notably, one that covers the discussion at hand as well as explaining Microsoft's behavior over the past year or so.
From what has been said in other places, it does have the opportunity to help both Square Enix and Microsoft, Square Enix gets a batch of money out of the deal and sells the game to a market that doesnt have a direct competitor (Uncharted 4 will be released at the same time) while Microsoft gets people that own both consoles to buy the Xbox version.
When people get tired of Uncharted 4 then this Tomb Raider comes out to PS4 getting that new fresh free publicity push (new reviews, news about the release, etc...) to get the word about the game still active so that people dont forget about it and skip to the next big thing.
I really dont see this game being a system seller, I think that for the interest of Microsoft its just getting people to buy their version. Not that this is exactly a good thing but it would be wise of Square Enix to delay the release to not compete directly with Uncharted and since they can release the game on a console that doesnt have that issue then fine.
I'd wager we only "knew" it because The idea of tome raider being an "actual" exclusive was....unbelivable
and while it surprised no one that it was timed....it did make the decision as a whole seem even more non sensical...kind of like a paradox
chimps have more buisness sense than that...
File that under "Stuff I didn't know." I have been out of the loop for about three months now so I was simply commenting on what information the article presented. However, that changes my opinion very little. I still believe someone at MS looked at this and thought it would be a great way to set up a situation in which MS can "show" us that they've changed and are listening to us and blah blah blah.
My view isn't that MS are saying, "Hey, we're being vaguely anti-consumer... but at least we're being honest about it!" my point is that they are probably saying, "We are following standard industry practices AND we're trying to be up front about it." It was probably a carefully crafted PR stunt, stupid and anti-consumer make no mistake but crafted none the less.
I'm glad it's an exclusive. I don't have an XB1 so I won't even have to consider buying a follow up to a shitty game which was beyond all shittiness, and whose shittiness will most likely be carried on to its sequel. I'm a casual Tomb Raider fan (as in the series) and if you pick any TR game it's at least 100x better than the reboot. Considering the reboot's popularity, I expect no better from the sequel.
My take is that the key angle for Microsoft here is that Christmas/Holiday release date. It's for the uninformed consumer, when parents are looking to pick up a console for their kid/teen, this puts a recognizable name in the bag for microsoft to waive around as an Xbox One 'Exclusive'!
Goes in line with the impression I get from the Xbox One marketing. With one disaster after another and getting their asses kicked by Sony, it seems they've adopted a 'see no evil here no evil' stance. Just ignore everything around you, and continue to pitch the Xbox as America's #1 entertainment platform! We even have NFL! Just keep enthusiastically saying something and even if it's false sometimes ignorant people may start to believe you.
I don't think this will work out as Microsoft intends it to. People will just wait for the game on their chosen system. Besides, given the current (abhorrent) trend of gating content, the PC and PS4 versions will likely ship with any Tomb Raider DLC that gets released as some sort of "limited" edition release.
A few years when I started a new job with a better pay I decided to buy a new console. It was a choice between the Xbox360 and the PS3 - I had friends who played both so I knew I'd have people to play with on either system that I knew, but I couldn't decide. Then I read that Fable 2 was coming out as an Xbox360 exclusive.
Being a huge fan of the first one, I didnt even hesitate, bought the 360 that same day.
Granted, my case does not represent the majority but its an example where a console was bought based on an exclusive title (though I should stipulate it was not bought _just_ to play that title).
I also cant help but feel that there may be something else in the works that will coincide with release, be it a new film or a new feature on the Xbone. Time will tell I guess.
The problem is you're thinking logically. If MS were being logical then they wouldn't have ended up with their whole Xbone fiasco and put themselves into this situation. They are panicing and desperate for anything they can use to try to entice people to buy their shitty console.
I hold a similar theory, which is that, scared by Tomb Raider's initial lower than expected, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics wanted to lower a sequel's (in early development at that stage?) financial risk to themselves. Therefore, they approached Microsoft to help fund Rise of the Tomb Raider. Microsoft, of course, wanted something in return for their investment and the two parties ultimately agreed that the game would be released on Microsoft's consoles for a certain period before the rival platforms.
In my theory, Microsoft are not necessarily the bad guys, and Square Enix/Crystal Dynamics are companies too easily spooked and hold too little faith in their intellectual property.
Your theory, that this is a trick Square Enix are playing on their shareholders, is kinda plausible and it similarly accuses Square Enix of having too little faith in their intellectual property.
If Square Enix are going to prosper as a company they need to make sound business decisions. That means doing market research to ensure that their IP will be bought by the consumer and it means acting on that market research.
The thing I keep wondering about is why it seems they were trying to be deliberately misleading and vague about the whole thing. The statement from CD/SE made it sound like a permanent exclusive by way of offering the sequel to GOL as some sort of appeasement to those on the other platforms.
It read very much like "we gave this exclusively to Xbone but you other guys still have this different game to look forward to". Which doesn't directly imply that you would never see Rise on other platforms but is suggestive of it all the same. IIRC it was in a sentence or paragraph talking about how they weren't turning their backs on fans on different platforms, why not just mention that you only had to wait a little longer then? Surely that says "we're not ignoring you guys" better than pointing to a totally different game. I'd imagine Microsoft may have had terms preventing them from saying it was only a timed exclusive but then MS were the ones who told us it was.
And in Microsoft's case they have previously been careful to use words like "coming first to Xbox One" when announcing timed exclusives, but not this time. Why? To sell some units you would suppose but then Phil Spencer comes out and tells everybody it was in fact a timed exclusive after all so what did they gain apart from some bad publicity?
Oh and why no mention of how long the period of exclusivity lasts? Why so vague? It only serves to annoy people. I wish game journalism had an equivalent of Jeremy Paxman, somebody who would grill Phil Spencer or Major Nelson so we could get past the corporate speech and find the root cause of this odd behaviour.

Starting a Conversation
Families with certain genetic mutations face many complex and personal choices, including how and when to share such information with their children. Mom's Genes is here to help.
BY Shannon Pulaski
PUBLISHED November 11, 2018
WHEN I WAS 27, my husband and I welcomed our twins into the world. Their story began when they were born exactly two months early. Ten days later, in that same hospital, my mother started a new chapter in her life when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I spent my days running between the floors of the hospital to visit my mother and my daughters. One generation up; one generation down — just two floors apart, but their stories were more closely connected than any of us understood.
Not long after my mother's initial diagnosis, we discovered that she was BRCA1 positive. Being positive for a mutation in this BRCA gene meant that she faced up to a 72 percent chance of developing breast cancer and up to a 44 percent chance of developing ovarian cancer over the course of her life. It also meant that there was a 50 percent chance that she had passed this genetic mutation on to me.
When my daughters were 4 months old, I decided to undergo genetic testing. My genetic counselor had me spend a lot of time gathering and outlining my family tree and my family's health history. He explained my risk of carrying the gene mutation and drew my blood. Weeks later, he called and asked me to come into the office. My results were in. I took one look at his face and knew immediately that I, like my mother, am BRCA1 positive.
Back when I first got tested, my daughters were so tiny that it was not possible to have a meaningful conversation with them about this diagnosis, but it definitely shaped our story going forward. Today I am blessed with three children: my 7-year-old twins and my 4-year-old son. I often think about whether they have inherited the same gene mutation I carry. I wonder how I can provide them with a framework for understanding how this genetic mutation has profoundly affected our family's history. My family has many more BRCA obstacles yet to come. There is no doubt that my children will have questions. I knew I would have to find a way to answer them.
I decided I would tell them a story — our story.
Whether around our dinner table or in the car on the way to soccer practice, my family loves to tell stories. In fact, my children love telling stories so much that they often create small picture books for my husband and me. Every day, I am in awe of their creativity and ability to learn through the stories they tell. It was from their works that I was inspired to create a picture book for young children, "Mom's Genes," that would help us start a much-needed conversation about our family's health history. Because my children are still quite young, I knew I would have to approach this conversation slowly and in a way that they would understand. By lightly introducing the concepts of genetics and family health history, "Mom's Genes" was meant to ignite that first conversation so that we could eventually dive deeper into these issues.
One day at breakfast, I told my children that Mommy had written a story. It was a wonderful experience to share the initial draft with them. They immediately started giving me detailed descriptions of what the illustrations should be. Sitting and sketching out ideas for "our story" became one of our after-school activities. All the while, I was introducing them to the story of their genes. As a result, they began recognizing and talking about genetic traits that they may have inherited from members of the family. Then, when the children were concerned about my frequent medical visits, the book helped me explain that my doctors know my family's health history and use it to do plenty of checkups to keep me healthy.
As genetic information and testing become more readily available, they will have a tremendous impact on medical decisions going forward. Families with certain genetic mutations face many complex and personal choices, including how and when to share such information with their children. It is my hope that "Mom's Genes" will help parents start conversations with their young children about their own families' health histories and encourage their sons and daughters to be proactive about their health and wellness starting from a young age.

Symbols, Metaphors, Analogues: Seeding, Modelling And Achieving Sustainable Design
Free (open access)
266 kb
Paper DOI
WIT Press
R. J. Koester
This paper describes the role of abstraction in providing informational structure to the complex tasks of the design-for-sustainability process and the use of that abstraction in facilitating the participation of the many players needed to assure the successful execution of projects. The distinction is made between \"seeding" and \"modelling" as parts of an iterative function in service to design-for-sustainability. Distinctions are drawn between the trappings of the labelling and symbology associated with systems used to index sustainable performance (such as the US Green Building Council LEED Rating System), the role of both computer-based and hands-on simulation/emulation tools used to quantify sustainable performance, and the inspirational evidence to be found in nature as exemplary embodiments of sustainable performance—all of which can contribute support to the integrative process needed to assure the effective pursuit of design-for-sustainability. Specifically, discussion is provided of the distinctions between symbol, metaphor, and analogue. In addition, critique is made of Ecological Design and Open Building Design as used to promote sustainable design. Only by clarification of the respective distinctions and with a thorough understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each of these, as a tool, can we be prepared as designers to seed and model—and thereby effectively achieve—a sustainable architecture. Keywords: symbol, metaphor, analogue, modelling, design process, green design, ecological design, open building, sustainable design. 1 Introduction In the face of the pervasive social concern for environmental, social and economic sustainability and the need to find ways to integrate this content into
symbol, metaphor, analogue, modelling, design process, green design, ecological design, open building, sustainable design.

Forgotten Books: GENE AUTRY GOES TO THE CIRCUS (1950)
9 comments:
- James Reasoner said...
I read a ton of these when I was a kid, but not this one, at least as far as I recall. Thanks! It's not bad. I wonder who actually wrote it.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was Little Jimmy Reasoner.

Never cared for Autry when I was a kid. He didn't look like a cowboy to me. More like a dentist.

True that, Steve.

I started writing pretty young, but that was three years before I was born. Autry tried, but he never really took to being a cowboy and never could ride very well. When you read about some of the jokes the stuntmen played on him, you kind of have to feel sorry for the guy. Still, even though he's no Roy Rogers, I enjoy his movies for the most part.

Like James, who was also 3 years earlier than this, I was never a huge Autry fan, though I admit to sometimes watching his TV series and, regularly, Philadelphia TV station WCAU's "Roy Rogers-Gene Autry Theater" every weekday afternoon, which was alternated Roy and Gene movies before dinnertime.
My paternal grandfather took my younger brother and me to see Autry's show at the Philadelphia Arena (year unknown--though we'd have probably been no older than 7 and 4). In any case, before intermission we went to the snack area where we encountered and chatted with a very friendly Pat Buttram, Gene's sidekick. At that tender age I somehow made it a point to omit diplomatic mention that I was wearing my Roy Rogers gun belt and cap guns.
In my old age, I have to say that, for me, William Boyd's Hopalong Cassidy eclipses both Roy and Gene (in that order). On the other hand, if you want some great hokey fun, check out Gene's cliffhanger serial "The Phantom Empire" (if you can put up with the singing), at least some of which you can find on YouTube.

I liked Gene well enough. He might not have been as good a cowboy star as Roy and Hoppy, but he ended up dying rich.

And he owned a baseball team. That's enough to make him my hero.

And radio stations. My dad was in the radio business and may have met him, I don't recall.

Greater Wellington's harbourmaster is warning people to be careful on and in the water after a near drowning at Paremata.
A man is lucky to be alive after he was found floating unconscious in the water under the Paremata bridge.
In mid-afternoon on Wednesday a swimmer found the man floating under the road bridge and brought him to shore where a security guard, Falelua Leitupo, gave one chest compression, checked for breathing and put the man in the recovery position.
The man regained consciousness and Leitupo called for an ambulance.
Greater Wellington Regional Council contracts the security guard over summer to ensure a safe separation between swimmers and boaties in the busy harbour.
"I think Falelua did a great job managing what was a stressful and potentially tragic situation in a professional and calm manner," said harbourmaster Grant Nalder.
"Yesterday was his first day working at the boatramp – what a way to start. The swimmer has a lot to be thankful for, too.
"We don't have details of why the swimmer lost consciousness, but Paremata is crowded and potentially risky for swimmers in particular. Our advice is - if you are in the water make sure you are visible and when you are on the water always stay vigilant."
The incident follows another earlier that day in Wellington harbour, where a swimmer was hit on the head by a rowing skiff.
That incident happened about 7am off Point Jerningham, when the rowing skiff collided with the distance swimmer, injuring his head.
"Fortunately, it wasn't serious and the swimmer was able to get to shore, but the incident highlights the importance of vigilance on the water.
"All involved were shaken up by the collision and the result could easily have been very different. Both the swimmer and rowers were keeping an eye out but it's really hard to see people in the water."
Nalder urged swimmers to make themselves visible, perhaps by wearing a brightly coloured swim cap or tow bag. Divers should have a large dive flag too, he said.
"Vessels of all types need to keep a good lookout for other water users, big and small, on or in the water.
"As the weather heats up more and more people are swimming, diving and boating on our harbours and off our coasts, creating situations where accidents will become increasingly likely unless everyone takes care."
Nalder said there would be a greater number of swimmers than usual around the harbour training for several upcoming ocean swim events.

Take a Look Inside TAROX brakes
At the heart of every TAROX brake product is years of top level motorsport experience, perfect engineering and artisan craftsmanship. Since 1976 TAROX have been creating high performance brakes for motorsport and road.
Each TAROX product begins as a concept to improve performance. During the design phase Tarox engineers use CAD and FEA hand in hand to hone these concepts into highly engineered braking solutions.
During production CNC machines craft TAROX callipers from raw aluminium billet, these CAM processes plus a skilled eye for detail ensure Tarox disc surfaces are perfectly prepared for optimum performance.
Turning these raw materials into high performance braking solutions is something we regard as art and every aspect of the design must be beautiful, just like these CNC milled disc cooling vanes.
TAROX is a company looking to the future in terms of technology, but one that holds heritage and tradition in high regard, a tradition that has stood strong since '76.

Huma Regulators
Huma Regulators, now featured in select Daystate airguns, offer greater consistency and shot count versus the existing Harper valve. A long requested feature among Daystate owners, the Huma type regulator has been added to deliver even higher performance than ever.
The higher accuracy of the rifle is due to the elimination of the fluctuations in pellet speed, this near constant pellet speed over the full working pressure range.will also give you a better shot count. This is due to the air being directed into the action with better consistency. Adding a regulator to a rifle is often the biggest benefit in the tuning process and also further quietens the rifle due to a better balance in air usage.

Go easy on kids when they are doing arts and crafts. You need to remember that this is designed to foster their creativity. This will not be accomplished if you constantly nag and correct them about what they are trying to do.
Thrift Stores
If you can't find the supplies you need, look at thrift stores. A lot of thrift stores and consignment stores have plenty of items for artistic inspiration. Merchandise is eclectic and sells quite quickly, so be sure you visit these stores on occasion to keep up.
Consider shopping at thrift stores. Different thrift stores and other shops can provide you with many great things. Be sure to check back as inventory constantly changes.

Crafting is fun with kids. Showing an example can influence their own thinking. Allow them to use their imagination without preconceptions. They can play with their faces like Picasso, for example. It's the idea of them expressing creativity and imagination more than it is about doing something according to a specific model.
Ensure that you have all necessary tools and materials before you begin a new projects. Having to stop to get things is tedious. Make a list of what you need ahead of time, then check if you have it or go out and get it before you start.
