Students at Arcadia schools are participating in a coat drive. 9437.0 coats have been collected so far. 6922.0 coats were collected from the high schools, and the rest from the elementary schools. How many coats were collected at the elementary schools? Answer:

We will learn how to solve step-by-step the word problems on addition and subtraction of whole numbers. We know, we need to do addition and subtraction in our daily life. Let us solve some word problem examples.
1. The population of a country in 1990 was 906450600 and next year it is increased by 9889700. What was the population of that country in the year of 1991?
Therefore, the population of that country in the year of 1991 is 916340300.
2. Aaron bought two houses for $1668000 and $2454000. How much did he spend in all?
Amount of money spent in all $4122000.
3. The sum of two numbers is 41482308. If one number is 3918695 then, find the other number.
Therefore, the other number is 37563613.
4. Mr. Jones deposited $278475 in a bank in his account. Later he withdrew $155755 from his account. How much money was left in the bank in his account?
Therefore, Mr. Jones has $ 122720in his bank account.
Note: We need to be careful while arranging the addends in columns.

In worksheet on addition and subtraction of large numbers we will get different questions for adding and subtracting 7-digit, 8-digit and 9-digit numbers.
Note: To make it easy to add or subtract we can separate the periods with commas in the Indian system or International system.
(i) A soap factory produced 2692654 soaps in one year. In the next year it produced 867205 more. How many soaps did the factory produced in the second year?
(ii) In an election 23875501 votes were polled. There were three candidates in the election. Two of them got 9823823 and 11575923 votes respectively. How many votes were polled in favour of the third candidate?
(iii) In one year Mr. Daniel earned $257088, his wife earned $123672 and their son earned $96750. How much money did Mr Daniel’s family earn in one year?
(iv) A number when subtracted from 581641200 gives 392715315. Find the number.
(v) A large poultry farm produced 6452148, 7026075 and 8121236 eggs in three successive years. Find the total number of eggs produced in three years.
(vi) A number exceeds 64367484 by 6754165. What is that number?
(vii) Subtract the greatest 8-digit number from the smallest 9-digit number.
(viii) In a cold storage, there were 386532308 kg potatoes. If 364228208 kg potatoes are sold off then how many kg of potatoes are left in the godown?
Answers for the worksheet on addition and subtraction of large numbers are given below.

Nearly two months later, I now have the mag intense rune, 25 kryanbor nuggets and a similar quantity of domane nuggets (I haven't discovered the kyramane ingot recipe so turn nuggets into ingots yet), is it OK to send it all over to you later?
I also don't understand quite how the Galandor thread ended up where it did, though I witnessed similar when I played Everquest many years ago. Didn't understand it then either.
Updated. Can anyone enter the Imperial Hall? Heard Betanesque Inn-like items (dyes and tabards), plus slightly more.
Ran numbers for collecting Irandgard Root.
x = 6.4. Remains possible with normal potions. 6.6 normal: Black Varec/Lamden Mariglacius/Glacin. 6.7 runic: Twistyfoot/Black Varec/Any Rune. 6.8 runic: Twistyfoot/Any Wild/Pho.
- 5.0 Swamp jewelry (with Oceanite).
Lumped Golem Monster and Hero together.
x = 66.857. In other words, 67 for Hero and companion (or 68/66). Where can you level this high? Anderversan Woods B4. 63 Swamp.
Stomachs the first three. Questions whether number four is a dealbreaker. Leans towards yes. Sounds extraordinarily not fun, even among grinds.

Using alt account which brought "Princania"
Location : Imperial domain, tab "Mansion Celestine"
Location : Imperial domain, tab "Terrace of the Bladed Robe"
action : Participate in the duels. 15 offense, 10 seconds. Alt can't do this as offense is 10.4 (26 * 0.4 - it calculates this as hero offense skill *0.4 so 38 offense needed), consequently I don't know what happens. Text suggests combat.
My main account with emperator is in the middle of a 7h task so I will check what additional options it gets this evening.
It's a shame I did just the minimum botany required to get my Eliandel wing on my main. Farming the swamp increases will be pretty bad. There's usually SOMETHING with intelligence in Anderversan so your boars are going to get wrecked while you try and raise hero swamp.
I will check out the new area when I get home. That 1000+ gold for a dye is kinda crazy. I wonder if that's the same dye though that will be given for cheaper to the Emperator purchasers. Also I guess the value of those cyanblue/greengold dyes from the last special quest aren't as high if you can just buy em here.
Ayrann + Pyr Latent: 50 Taming.
Ayrann + Pyr Watchful: 52 Taming.
Nocturial + Stra/Eli/Mag/Hydr/Lect/Pho/Ethe/Rad Latent: 59 Taming.
Nocturial + Eli Watchful: 62 Taming.
Palpable + Pho Watchful: 54 Herbalism.
Oceanite + Psy Latent: 54 Herbalism.
Oceanite + Psy Watchful: 56 Herbalism.
Charges 300 gold per Latent Rune, 1000 gold per Watchful Rune, and 300 gold per Nocturial. (Requires two Nocturial per whip.) Deems Ayrann, Palpable, and Oceanite negligible. Offers while supplies last. Accepts materials too.
Thought about market prices. Used conservative numbers.
Time per Giant Pine action: 1.389 hours.
Time for all Giant Pine Trunks: 260 * 19.446 hours = 5055.96 hours.
Carried six trunks per trip. Lowballs it at fifteen minutes per. (260 / 6) * 0.25 hours = 10.833 hours.
Time per Giant Beam: 4.167 hours.
Time for all Giant Beams: 4.167 * 260 = 1083.42 hours.
Ignored expansion cost and time. Totals 6211.293 hours. Likens it to Halmvik Spying. Earns 5.2 gold per hour. Converts to 32298.724 gold.
- 10 Volcanite * 1750 gold = 17500 gold.
- 25 Salandrin * 2 gold = 50 gold.
- 25 Salancedar * (2 hours per plank * 7 gold per hour + 3 gold for one-third of a potion) = 25 * 17 gold = 425 gold.
- 10 Xuran * 15 gold = 150 gold.
- 10 Jutug * 20 gold = 200 gold.
- 500 Nuertesilicio * 0.12 gold = 60 gold.
- 200 Fortified Leather * 3 gold = 600 gold.
Total cost: 21525 + 32298.724 = 53823.724 gold.
Estimates a Stonecutting/Tanning Norstrian Temple at 53823.724 gold (conservatively). Produces two tools only (Taming and Herbalism). Appeals to a limited number of customers. Wishes to recoup its cost, at minimum.
How much demand will there be? Cannot say. Chooses ten buyers. Includes interested guild members. (Receives a significant discount, however.) Totals twenty tools.
53823.724 / 20 = 2691.186 gold.
Concern: Erected this collectively, not alone. What about other guild members? Benefits from the aforementioned price cut. (Eliminated location. Lowered rune, material, and skill prices.) "Competes" with guild crafters too. Shares buyers, however. Doubts more than ten per tool.
Combined runic artifact identification with the Lupuntar Fortress daily task. Assumes identical fragment distributions.
Guesses (without data) two fragments from Lupuntar Fortress daily.
2 * 0.201 = 0.402 Watchful Fragments per day.
Opts to gather runic artifact fragments purely through companions. Spends 9.723 hours per companion attempt. Yields 1-3, 50% at a Starfield Dig Site. Averages to one fragment per attempt, conveniently. Gathers (24 / 9.723) * 1 = 2.468 fragments per day per companion. Assumes the maximum four. Totals 9.872 fragments per day. Becomes 9.872 * 0.181 = 1.787 Watchful Fragments. Add Lupuntar Fortress. Equals 2.189 Watchful Fragments daily from all sources.
Total cost: (114.654 * 6) + (328.92 * 8) = 3319.284 gold for one Watchful Rune.
Collects more than Watchful Fragments, however.
Still + Latent: ((13.705 days * 9.872 unidentified) * .667) + (13.705 days * (1.598 Luptunar Fragments * 0.741)) = 106.471.
Intense+: ((13.705 * 9.872) * 0.052) + (13.705 * (1.598 * 0.058)) = 8.306.
Finds enough fragments for 3.549 Latent Runes, plus 8.306 fragments technically usable in a Watchful Rune. How good are Latent Runes? Varies by 0-4 on tools, generally around 2-3. Works in 7.2 runic Forging potions too.
Splits the gold amount arbitrarily. (Excluded Intense+ fragments. May want them someday.) Selects 50-50. Falls to 1659.642 per Watchful Rune (and 467.637 per Latent Rune).
Demands fairly high skill. Requires 40 Vinnerson (Whip) or 40 Soriason (Mortar and Pestle). Kept it low (50-100 gold). Desires a round number. Decides after totaling everything. Includes potion cost.
Matters more in other trades. Considers Oceanite, Palpable, and Ayrann negligible here. Continues conservative pricing. Values Nocturial Leather at 350 gold each.
Psy Latent Mortar and Pestle (54): 2691.186 location + 467.637 Latent Rune = 3158.823 gold + 91.177 skill = 3250 gold.
Psy Watchful Mortar and Pestle (56): 2691.186 location + 1659.642 Watchful Rune = 4250.828 gold + 49.172 skill = 4400 gold.
Latent Ayrann Whip (50): 2691.186 location + 467.637 Pyr Latent = 3158.823 gold + 91.177 skill = 3250 gold.
Watchful Ayrann Whip (52): 2691.186 location + 1659.642 Pyr Watchful = 4250.828 gold + 49.172 skill = 4400 gold.
Watchful Nocturial Whip (62): 2691.186 location + 1659.642 Eli Watchful + 700 Nocturial = 5050.828 gold + 49.172 skill = 5100 gold.
- Latent Oceanite Mortar and Pestle (54): 3250 gold.
- Watchful Oceanite Mortar and Pestle (56): 4400 gold.
- Latent Ayrann Whip (50): 3250 gold.
- Watchful Ayrann Whip (52): 4400 gold.
- Watchful Nocturial Whip (62): 5100 gold.
Edit: Added non-runic Nocturial Whip for reference.

I would buy a 62 whip, though I need to increase hero skill by 1.5 to equip at present (the remaining Lanfar "bond with ..." tasks should allow me to complete this).
Can anyone advise on materials for Oceanite quarry and Melandrin lumberjack camp to beat the land resistance, and appropriate hut / cottage / *other structure* to allow passive gathering please? I've not built anything other than an Inn that allows T3s to gather so far, and if a 6000 encumbrance structure can be avoided I would prefer to do so.
I'm turning marapis into vaults before depositing to increase masonry, a neglected skill. This means the "required" number of blocks is now wrong. Not sure it's worth amending the spreadsheet, but wanted to make all aware.
Iranganash Strait (Oceanite): 15 Snow (14 necessary).
- Hut: Fir Framework (8) + Fir Plank Wall (8) + Cedar Thatch Roof (36) + Complex Nuertesilicio/Norstrian Mohair Bed.
Maliken Sea (Melandrin): 37 Forest (36 necessary).
- Hut: Nuertesilicio Framework (36) + Nuertesilicio Plank Wall (36) + Nuertesilicio Shingle Roof (Cedar Shingles, not Slate) + Complex Nuertesilico/Norstrian Mohair Bed. Works with Marapis Vault (36) and Marapis Wall (36) too.
Scoped out dummies. Omitted Volcanite and Nocturial.
Influences certain stats through material type.
- Leather: Defenses (mainly Slashing).
- Stone: Everything except Slashing Defense.
- Fabric: Blunt Defense and Piercing Defense.
Not fond of Azulio? Choose Soletto. After that, Salandrin.
Not happy about Wingu? Pick Jutug. Downgrades slightly more with Huberian.
Defined Fir/Soft Leather/Marl/Linen as baseline. Had 4/5/3 offenses and 5/6/4 defenses. Substituted one material out. Returned the values below. Left out weaker materials.
It's interesting data though I can't really see the use for those dummies. Combat training doesn't appear to be based on effective skill at all. I suppose the only benefit would be if your overall offense is significantly lower than your offense skill and thus you have a hard time hitting a higher difficulty target. Even that said though, these are likely going to be in the 0.1 multiplier spot which will only add a very small amount to your offense.
Realizes. Spent a while building the White Arena, though. Deserves a decent dummy. Could not discern what performed best at a glance (particularly with stone).
I have a lot of Wyvern leather and palpable so no issue using those. I'd prefer NOT to use azulio or wingu. I'm imagining Salandrin + jutug/huberian. That seem reasonable?
Sure. Will provide Jutug and Salandrin.
Unrelated: Set companions before hacking down Giant Pines. Tallied it. Gained 10484 Fir Logs (for Firewood), 34493 Cedar Logs, 20526 Pine Logs, 51280 Maple Logs, 28638 Oak Logs, and 133192 Firewood. Finally surpassed Orchis in most items (around 25000).
Edit: Forgot about Marapis Sand. Estimates around 59000.
I have the domane ingots and will drop them off with the vaults sometime tomorrow, but have no personal source of eliandel or olkznar. I will have an eli mine in a few days as I finished the wing and recruited a hipporiel as my third t3 a few hours ago, but it's going to be a while before I have any meaningful supply of ore to smelt.
67 Academy: Clearmoon Dome + Marapis Vault and Walls + Palpable Towers, Fortifications, Foundations, and Dome. Handles everything.
64 Academy: Marapidos Dome + Lithosnow Dome + Marapis everything else.
(Edit: Extra) 63 Academy: Clearmoon Dome + Fir Framework and Walls + Palpable everything else.
- One Marapis part each of Dome, Foundation, Tower, and Fortification.
Try Fir Framework and Wall. Are they insufficient? Use Slate or Cedar. Is that still too weak? Advises Acacia, Marble, or additional Marapis. Construct all remaining parts after deciding.
Disclaimer: Never built an upper-tier Academy. Gathered Palpable for it, though.
Experienced burnout lately. Accomplished everything desired and beyond. Wastes time on most characters. (Current tasks: Clandestine Guild Agreements, meat, Healing Vials, cutting Palpable, and Commerce/Foggy Pearls. Shifts Team Woodcutting to Kryanite Clusters soon.) Exceeds skill requirements by miles. Released Tarasquan over a year ago. Offered nothing compelling since.

Yeah I'm mostly on auto-pilot here with having a char on regen, some on krya, some on runic identifying and one on noble identifying (for the elusive 5.0 emperator talisman). I mostly play on the weekend mornings go through and kill some bosses and train my combat skills a bit. There really does need to be some new content added.
I know some guilds are making crazy things just to get them done, but I don't seem to subscribe to that notion of making things. I think the only legit thing left to make will be the combat place in the Den. Maybe I'll look into what we need to make for that (probably a megalithic build place in the giant plains to reduce transport time of all the giant parts). I remember it being pretty crazy in terms of what you need to move due to the super heavy walls though.
Thank you Deva. I was thinking about Rowan, then thought that if I was going to build an academy, I might as well built one to cover all possibilities.
Lack of content won't be a problem for me for some time, I think I'm about 18 months behind most of you. I agree it is needed though, any game that lacks new challenges will eventually wither and die.
Hopefully the content will last a bit. I've been logging on every few days to setup random long term tasks (digging for that elusive 5.0 emperator for example) but otherwise haven't been doing much. I should probably finish training my boars' attack at the White Arena in Norstria but haven't really gotten around to it.
Doubts much personal longevity. Pondered what would rekindle interest earlier. Concluded lots of quests and maybe clothing recipes. Might still be insufficient. Enjoyed individual and group progression. Ventured into others' specializations over time. Wanted greater self-sufficiency. Succeeded too much, however. Completed the game accidentally.
Highest trade skills across all characters: 87 Fashioning, 73 Searching, 59 Fauna, 81 Flora, 74 Stone, 85 Metal, and 70 Science.
I have been working on the Nostria family questlines and just have Caleron left to finish now, though the 60 snow check at the end will need some work - 60 forest in one of the other family quests was something of a struggle.
Each one rewards a "Tracing : Rune ...." of some kind. I haven't started collecting runic artifact fragments, are these connected to the tracings in some way? And related to that come some other questions - there is a "porch" that can be built, and a mysterious device called a yggdracin, both of which are related to archeology in some way, but how? They might be slightly noob-ish questions, but while I've found discussions about calculating stats and materials for them, I've not been able to establish what they actually do and how all these things fit together.
All of this has slowed me down on mining eliandel as I've needed the authority points for companions to make the skill checks in the quests, but I will get back to it.

There are two types of Runic fragments. The ones you dig up and identify and the ones that are a consumable for activating runes. Identifying the dug up ones produces dead runes and the consumable fragments. Identifying the dug up ones can be done at any archeology machine (we have on in our primary shipyard in Hawkeria). To activate dead runes though you either need a Norstria temple (we don't have one with the appropriate machine because its a huge waste) or a porch. Porch blueprint is obtained from the Soriason reputation vendor. It requires 40 rep to buy. Yggdracine is needed for the porch (and Norstrian temples). I think the Yggdracine recipe came from one of the guild festivals. I suspect we probably still have a couple lying around the guild hall. The rune tracings you mention are the recipes for activating various dead runes. A number of those also came with a guild festival. I don't recall if there's a set of those left in the hall too.
That makes sense, thank you. There are some yggdracin recipes and a set of rune tracings at the hall, I won't take any of them without asking first - am some way from 40 soriason for the porch recipe at the moment anyway.
I'm going on holiday on Sunday, if I drop from the main guild later tonight, could I get an invite to the mining guild for until I get back please?
Sorry I was out Friday to Sunday this weekend and didn't see this message until just now. If you did drop guild send me a message in game and I will re-send an invite to whichever guild you need once you're back.

70 woodworking without location bonus? That's rough. I think I have 73 Wood/Woodworking. I don't have the Norstrian companion for woodworking either which is probably necessary. It is interesting they put the recipes on the White Arena. I wonder which ones are on the Den fighting building? Still probably just worth joining another guild to learn the recipes though if there are some. Stupid Den fighting area.
I do suspect we'll need another Temple for that runic bow (*sigh*).
Note the 200 BC for the shared home is to share ALL concessions with all characters on your account. They said they were going to do it per concession (at lower price) but it ended up being obnoxious to implement.

Does anyone want to build that?

Blue Crown Shop wrote: The home key allows you to share one of your homes with all your account heroes.
Sounded like one key to share one concession with one character previously. Increased it to one concession with all characters.
I'm actually at 74/74 woodworking so I could probably get that up to 77 if I needed to to avoid using the runic potions. Course I have no Emerust so thats the next task.
Yeah just noticed it is a single home for the key but for everyone on the account. May be overpriced at that if you don't consolidate everything.
Good news: Learns recipes at a Den Telluric Sanctuary too.
Bladerepulsor Membrane/Dartrepulsor Membrane/Macerepulsor Membrane: 65 Alchemy.
25 gold per task, except for three membrane package (30 gold). Offers the other guild combat building recipes, such as Short Runabow. Demands identical skill and time.
Also of note in the new dungeon, I've fought about 4 groups of trogs (total of around 7 trogs) and have gotten 2 galandor ore and 1 nugget as drops. Unless I'm very lucky (which is possible, small sample size) this seems like an easy way to get galandor.

Loudthunder Forest and Whispering Forest: Secret Vault.
Cannot build those on all characters.
Den Home 1: Telluric Sanctuary, good Bestarium, and Den Inn.
Den Home 2: Telluric Sanctuary, Field, Botany Trail, and Lumberjack Camp.
Den Home 3: Telluric Sanctuary, Gem Mine, and Palpable Mine.
Loses lots of Marapis from demolishing. Foresees little benefit from full access also, minus the Den Inn. Promotes buying materials over Blue Crowns, however. Approves of that.
Re: New dungeon. Updated the spoiler with more. Appears substantial. Expected Ice Laboratory's size and five quests. Delivered the largest dungeon yet and a long quest chain. Seems quite nice. Learned nothing from previous quest design, though. Hates the Bad Neighbors-style quest. Favors Sociability heavily again.
Discovered no good loot so far. Defeated 5-7 Horned Sponges, 5-7 troglodytes, two spiders, and a beetle. (Loves spikes, apparently.) Consisted of odds and ends.
After the initial loot of 2 gala ore and 1 nugget I also stopped getting decent drops. Note though that the latter part of the dungeon doesn't have many trogs in it which seem to drop the good loot. The bugs drop garbage most of the time. I had an encounter with a rare spawn who was very strong (70-80s in all stats, intelligence BUT defense debuff). Also dropped crap.
The boss (after you finish the necromancer's quest) dropped 2 krya nuggets 1 galandor nugget when I killed it. It was also quite easy to tank in Kdel/Dom armor (made before Kmane was possible, though really its only a slight change in pierce defense). The boss can hit hard (~40 against that armor) and it has 3 adds, all of whom were hitting for around 10.
Depths drops have apparently been significantly buffed. Someone mentioned getting 3 wyvern blood off two wyverns and that the gold from the zombies was basically doubled (~20-30g per group now).
In terms of Krya armor, Kdel/Kmane will probably be good for most things. The Kdel/Dom I'm using works good in both the swamp and this new dungeon (though the swamp is still very dangerous). With the new membranes it'll probably be a lot easier to push damage away from the bad Slash defense of that armor so its probably what I'd recommend. Kdel/Knod is good armor as well (good for the Ancestor boss), but I imagine won't be as good in the new dungeon due to the pierce attack mobs. I think the boss was blunt offense though so it probably works good for that. Also it does look pretty nice.
I started the hunting poison task in my Telluric sanctuary and the lower difficulty alchemy task. The 14 hour cooldown there is annoying. They do seem to be 10% each too. Spending time gathering pearls so I can get a Emerust and eventually get the new bow recipes and stuff. I should grab my Autocrat too and get the forging ones though I didn't bother last night (it was late).
Haven't found any new sources of volc lumps yet except Tarsinith. They trolled us good if that's the only source of lumps after giving us the recipe.
Behemotian Beetle: Kryanbor Nugget. Estimated drop chance: 3-5%.
Treforus of the Deeps (quest boss): Two 3-carat Small Volcano Hearts. Worthless, but interesting. Also three Goldendart Honey, eight Cavernotruc, and a 1-carat Volcano Heart.
New herbs: Cannot pick them yet. (Edit: Calculated it. Needs a 3.2 Botany potion...on a different character. Hates the Wandering Polymath requirement.) Replaces Toenimus in Calming (52 -> 67) and Redauroch in Energizing (58 -> 66). Helps Calming runic potions only slightly, due to 65 Calming on Volcazu. Bolsters Energizing potions nicely, however.
Lower Depths loot: Good. Hated that grind.
Volcanite Lumps: Discovered nothing also. Might drop from Spirit of the Depths. Resembles Tarsinith's source (a red spirit). Lacked anything worthwhile so far.
Edit3: Looked through the profession chest. New items: Hipporiel's Tear (Binder), Bemekintos (Herb), Bemecalmos (Herb), Bemefocalo (Herb, not seen at the herb spot), and Olkgu Fabric. Cannot recall whether Wingu Bundle/Fiber existed previously or not.
Edit4: Grinded a bit. Updated drops. Paid attention to sources, not kill counts. No Olkgu Fabric or herbs yet. Managed decently with Chaotic Golems. Cannot handle 30-55 damage Bully smacks well. Acquired meta herbs from Bullies. Might drop new herbs too.
I haven't grinded the loot in there but its pretty inconsistent from what I saw just doing the quests. Never got anything good off the bugs or bullies, though I had gotten some meta ingots off the Golems (no Wingu cables). Wingu bundles have always been in the profession chest.
I used some BC and fast tracked the runic sword. I had sent you a message regarding runes to test. It's not super, best I saw with Kmane was 39 pierce/51 slash and its uncraftable at 84 forging. Heard that the mirror targe isn't great and the other shield is a base 15/30/15. However someone did mention the mirror targe stats aren't that high implying it may not need a runic temple (or it's done in the foundry temple or something). Working on pearls for an emerust. I'm not even sure what the second woodworking recipe (targepic) is actually for. Someone else had also mentioned the mace is only around 50 blunt which seems quite bad. For the recipes I'm currently doing the second forging one (shield), 2 alchemy ones (membranes) and the hunting one for the poisons. Even with a Volrizier still I need a small potion for the alchemy one which is annoying.
Oh also someone had mentioned that 83 sewing is possible with one of the new potions. Not sure what you actually get from that though.
Sent Pyr, Lith, and Lect Watchful Runes. May or may not help. Sympathizes on potion use. Drinks 6.6 Stonecutting (normal) vials every time. Crafted two quick runic Mortar and Pestles to even manage that.
Cannot decide whether or not to share the Den Inn concession. Leans towards no. Costs less to build it on every character. (Only cares about two more, presently.) Sees little reason to share other infrastructure there. Feels irritating either way. Wants to use the feature. Seems too cost-ineffective except for sharing an Academy…in the future. Will not balm anyone else’s Boarserker. Does not need an amazing Fashion House, Bestarium, Greenhouse, or Laboratory on multiple characters.
Edit: Oh, right. Forgot about demolishing. Saves more by simply building.
83 Sewing: Looked previously. Remembers nothing useful. Might reach Stardust Bracelets easier, though.
Recorded grinding this time. Learned nothing particularly new. Might grind Mutated Troglodytes or Chaotic Golems next time.
G2: 1-2 enemies. Enemies: Souxessor, Bully, Behemotian Beetle, and Chaotic Golem.
H2: 1-3 enemies. Enemies: Souxessor, Bully, Behemotian Beetle, and Spirit of the Deeps.
- Ignored gold and Foggy Pearls.
Mildly interesting: Faced all four Spirit of the Deeps encounters almost consecutively.
Im of the same mind for the shared concession. I could share my main home which has my lab and academy in it. I could then put a Fashion House and Greenhouse in it instead of having them where they are. But honestly I don't even have boars for my alts. The den concession could be good too with the beastarium and telluric sanctuary in but again it seems wasteful. I could consider moving my Academy to the Den and then sharing the concession (im pretty sure the one for a boar has sufficient terrain for it) but there's not much else I'd want for that. I kinda got annoyed with bothering to level up alts in terms of combat and stuff so I just left them doing various tasks while I got every skill done on my main instead. In that regard I may just hold on to the key until I need it for something in particular and use it then.
For the dungeon it really does seem like the trogs/golems are the valuable ones. The bugs seem kinda crappy. And of course the boss seems worthwhile to kill and is quite easy in Kdel/Dom armor. I am interested in seeing what that thing they added to the Owl for making better armor is though. I'm still a long way from being able to kill it though. Need to get my piercing offense higher and the only real way to do that I think is to grind watchmaker which is costly as hell. Perhaps the new poisons will help if they are significantly strong (+5 or so).
Recorded Mutated Troglodyte farming. Felt unrewarding.
Short version: One Galandor Nugget. Dropped nothing somewhat often. Might have amazing, but rare drops. Compares them to (old) Albino Wyverns and Demonic Bones. Killed hundreds. Dropped one Demonic Bone. Hinted at it through constant upper-tier bones.
Main Location: B4 to adjacent spaces.
B4: 2-3 enemies (usually three). Enemies: Mutated Troglodytes and Behemotian Beetles. Skews towards Troglodytes.
B5: Typically three Demonic Assassins. Mixed in Troglodytes sometimes.
A4: 1-2 enemies. Included Horned Sponges, Behemotian Beetles, and Mutated Troglodytes.
Drank twelve 31/6 Healing Vials.
Ignored gold and Foggy Pearls.
- Bully: 1 (0.68%). Appeared near the entrance, not the main location.

NAIJ.com earlier reported that the EFCC had declared two oil marketers standing trial at the Lagos High Court in Ikeja wanted.
The marketers – Seun Ogunbambo and Habila Theck – were alleged to have been involved in oil subsidy scam. The duo, managing director and general manager of Fargo Petroleum and Gas Limited were facing trial alongside their company.

Judd Ryker is a crisis manager with the U.S. State Department.
At the start of the first recorded adventure, Ryker has been with that division for a year. Prior to that he had been a quite content professor on the "genteel campus" of Amherst College, enjoying his academic life. He taught two classes a week and used the rest of his time directing a small collection of graduate students in the collect of data for his research on "political conflict in South Asia and Africa". This left him plenty of time to work on the theories that would attract the attention of the government, not to mention ample time to spend with his wife and their two young sons.
The primary theory that he had come up with that garnered the interest of Foggy Bottom was the 'Golden Hour', a very short period of time after a coup or assassination in which chaos was inevitably present and the chance to push future developments in a certain direction were optimum. It was this idea that resulted in his being brought into the organization by the Chief of Staff to the Secretary of State to be a part of the Secretary's new rapid reaction unit. At first he thought it was to just give a lecture or take part in a discussion but by the end of the first meeting, he was offered not just a role in the group but the job of heading it up.
It would not be long before the cerebral and safe existence he had so enjoyed was replaced by in-the-field testing and application of his ideas and with that would come a whole new experience - the chance to get quite dead. This was hardly something that Ryker sought and certainly did not enjoy but he had to admit to himself, and to his wife Jessica, that the real world was a thrilling place to work.
He probably should have been a bit more surprised at how easily Jessica went along with his new employment path. Certainly she worried about him and made sure in each phone call to remind him to keep his head down but she never begged him to come home or to quit but instead offered very sage and timely advice he was smart enough to heed. Being the very intelligent individual he was, Ryker started to realize that Jessica's insights as well as her impressive array of contacts might be something to pay attention to.
Newly appointed to lead the Crisis Reaction Unit, Judd Ryker knew he would face some intensely capable opponents but he failed to realize many would be in his own government. The a coup in Mali gives him a chance to prove the value of his team - if he lives long enough to see it.
The current ruler of Zimbabwe suddenly has a legitimate opponent and the tensions in that African country is growing each day. It is to the volatile region that Judd Ryker and his crisis team is sent.
The arrest of four American fisherman who strayed into Cuban waters brings Judd Ryker to that Caribbean country but with tensions rising on both sides, Ryker gets the feeling that there is more than people are saying to the incident.
When Judd Ryker looks into the disappearance of an American in London, it is the start of an adventure that will pit him against some very nasty criminals in Nigeria, people Ryker's CIA wife warns him do not play nice with others.
I started this series without a lot of preconceived ideas - always a good thing - except that it would like learn a whole lot more towards the diplomatic end of international intrigue than a 'normal' spy adventure. I was right. And I was wrong.
When Ryker is center stage, which is usually the case, diplomacy, or what passes for it in war-torn regions, is the desired goal though there are a whole lot of explosions and gun fire and very angry people thrown into the mix. When Jessica Ryker gets involved, the world of cloaks and daggers comes alive with a bunch of back alley connections and late night conversations and an entertaining combination of back scratching and back stabbing.
This is a very, very well written series that I enjoyed a bunch. I especially like the progression of involvement of Jessica in Judd's work. It is subtle at first and rather titillating. Then it becomes more prevalent even as the author has Ryker become a good deal more forceful.
The plots are well conceived and quite timely. The characters are really well developed, believable, and interesting - even the jerks that Ryker has to contend with far too often. Pacing is tremendously exciting as well. A delicious series to enjoy.

Little Jimmy was so tired of fruit flies, so he decided to catch them all.
In 4 days he caught 216 flies, and everyday he was catching as many flies as he caught in all previous days.
How many flies did Jimmy catch on each day?
Let X be the number of flies Jimmy caught on the first day. Then on the second day he also caught X flies. On the third day he caught X+X =2X flies, and on the fourth day he caught X+X+2X = 4X. So we have, X + X + 2X + 4X = 216. Solving for X, we get X = 27. Therefore, on the first day Jimmy caught 27 flies, on the second day he also caught 27 flies, on the third day he caught 54 flies, and on the fourth day he caught 108 flies.

Ruby through rails part 5: Bundler Dsl | Josh Software – Where Programming is an Art!
In this post, Sanjiv explains what happens under the hood when we do “bundle install”. While learning in detail about how are gems loaded, we learn a few useful Ruby tips and tricks and see some meta-programming at it’s pristine best!
Note: All path are relative to bundler gem path. For these blog, i am currently using ruby 2.1.2 and bundler 1.6.3.
While going through Bundler source code earlier, we have seen how bundler evaluates the Gemfile and creates function for each of keyword like gem, source and etc. Now we are going to see the implementation details of a few of these functions. Here is the `gem` function.

This evening I booked lots of trains (and hostels) mostly in Canada. My best friend decided, for some inexplicable reason, to move up North. So I bought my train ticket in advance (which I don't do often) because I knew it would be expensive - my rail card doesn't go much further north than where I live. So I four hour trip there and four hours back cost me £75.
Then I booked a train from Halifax to Montreal which takes 20 hours and includes a bed and that cost me £150.
And the government wonders why people don't use public transport.
I had to save the last episode of series 6 of Spooks till tonight and then I thought I'd write something about this series and what I've thought of it generally. Except that I'm not yet past the OMG stage and can therefore just about manage 'bibble'.
I've just finished British Science Fiction Television: A Hitchhiker's Guide. I couldn't remember why I'd put it on my Amazon wish list, but bought it anyway. I discovered why, when I read the chapter list, and discovered the Blakes 7 chapter author. There were some interesting ideas in it that I hadn't considered before.
Overall I enjoyed it. I really liked the historical aspects of the Quatermass chapter. The nuclear war one is really depressing, though. I'm not entirely convinced by the parallels in the Sapphire and Steel chapter. But as I've not seen it and know very little about the state of the country & politics around 1979 I can't really comment. The only chapter I really disagreed with was the Red Dwarf one. The author talked about how it relates to gender and race. I like it because it's funny, so am admittedly uninteresting in taking it any deeper. But she did go on about the Cat acting the way he does because it's alluding to black Americans. And there was me thinking it was a parody of a cat.
Easter: I had a surf round last night at the Lake District. Which looked vaguely interesting until there was a mention of Hadrian's Wall being not far away. So I'm so going. As my last holidays were in America and Australia I had entirely forgotten the whole point of holidays is castles and bookshops. Although I did get unreasonably excited at going to a Barnes and Noble in America. I've not booked for Conference yet, and my boss was off so I couldn't book any time off. I did establish that because he has holiday I can't do the Lake District and then recover(!) at Conference, so I'll be doing Conference, then the Lake District. I'm amazed it's only a couple of hours from Birmingham, though, because it's a long way North.
Bugs: I sat down to watch Bugs with dinner and all of a sudden there was Robbie! (as in DI Robbie Ross from Taggart). Sounding decidedly un-Scottish, but very cool anyway. Possibly some other stuff happened but frankly who cares. It's Robbie.
And thingy, whatshisname from Yes Minister was on The Avengers last night, looking pretty much exactly the same.
We're getting a smoking ban for summer 2007. After all that wrangling over pubs that sell food etc, I can't believe it's gone with such a big majority. Although interestingly, only the Tories had a majority of no ban. I wish it came into effect sooner but I'm looking forward to being able to go to the pub and be able to breathe while I'm there, and not have to wash all my clothes afterwards.
I'm also undecided about what I'm going to do over Easter. We established that I basically can't eat any passover food, so there's no way I'm going to go home and watch everyone eat nice food while I eat the ordinary disgusting stuff. And I'm not staying here either.
I have had people try to convince me to go to Eastercon, which would be quite cool as I've never been to Scotland before, so I could take some extra days off and have a look round Glasgow. Or I could go to Rotaract Conference, which isn't quite as badly north as I thought - it's in Windemere. I've never been to the Lake District either, so I'd quite like to go there too. Only bad side is I have to decide by the end of the month.
On the other hand I could just bugger off somewhere else entirely. I liked mum's suggestion of Paris except I don't think I can quite deal with the food issue in a foreign language yet and Easter weekend is a really bad time to go to Europe, given that they're worse than us about Sundays.
I thought about going to America - I can only cope with the place with for a week anyway, but mum pointed out that's a long way to go. Although not as far as Australia, but that would be the one place that would require travel sickness pills and mine went out of date in May.
So I just don't know!
This morning I thought I'd look up the train times home and it would only take a few minutes. Not a chance. The website told me there were no trains between 4.30 and 7.30. But I felt sure id got one at 6.30 before. I looked up the journey in bits (as I can't do it in any less than three trains - my record is five so far). I ended up getting so lost I decided to ring them instead - this usually doesn't work as they often just look it up on the same website.
I spoke to a girl who tended to whisper and not finish her sentences, so we had a long conversation. She said there was one at 5.30, which was a start. She did eventually admit there was one at 6.30 so but I'd have to get separate single tickets for it. It took a while but she first told me this was because I'd be using different train operators. Which was quite obviously a lie because Poole and Didcot are on different lines, so you can't do the more journey using the same train operator.
Having pointed tins out she then decided it was because I'd have to change at Oxford, which is further away than Didcot. Once I told her to look she did admit I could change at Reading, but then there were no trains at all to Didcot all evening. Another obvious lie. Especially as she then found me some trains.
However, all of this was no help at all. The train companies recently decided that if you live west of Bournemouth the best thing to do is to time the trains so you stand at Poole and watch the virgin train go past, then get on a Southwest train timed to get to Bournemouth so you can see the Virgin train leave as you arrive.But part of my reason for hearing in the evening is so this doesn't happen excerpt that now, it does.
Interestingly, when I looked up the 6.40 train from Bournemouth (the one the 6.30 train is timed to miss) it quite happily told me to change at Reading. But the 7.40 tells me to change at Oxford! And to think the government wants us to use public transport more.
The practical upshot of this is that dados taking me to Bournemouth. I'm so looking forward to being able to drive the joinery instead, as it it'll be quicker and simpler, even though I hate driving and you can't eat and read at the same time.
Looking back through old posts to categorise them is quite interesting. And it's reminded me, for some obscure reason, of games we used to play as children when travelling.
There was the alphabet thing. We did boys and girls names, but our favourite was 'I went shopping'. So the first person would say, for example, "I went shopping and I bought an apple". The second person would then carry on with, "I went shopping and I bought and apple and a banana"'. It would always start off sensibly and end up buying houses and planets.
Sometimes dad would challenge us to make up a story without using any e's, and less often, a's.
We would challenge each other to sing an ode to something. One person would think of the thing, the other person would have to use an existing tune or make one up, and sing a song about that thing. I say thing because it could have been anything. Perhaps not a small lump of green putty I found under my armpit one morning, but certainly as silly sometimes.
There was sausages - one person has to answer all questions by saying only 'sausages' and the first person to laugh loses. As we were kids we decided 'down the loo' was much more funny than sausages. It didn't matter either way, I laugh easily and always lost.
There would also be ordinary singing. A particular favourite I remember was 'There's a Hole in my Bucket' with one of us and Henry and the other as Liza. To save me reproducing it I found the whole version here.
There was the number plate game where you had to get all of the letters in the alphabet in order from number plates. My sister always won that one because she sat on the right and we always drove in the slow lane of dual carriageways (we didn't go on motorways because they were boring and we didn't always go out of the county).
There was I Spy - always more interesting when the thing you're guessing might no longer be in view. Although always manages to get boring quickly.
Another one we had was asking each other questions, the answer to which depended on the colour of the car passing. We'd gradually add in more colours and types. The fun in this question was to check what was coming up before asking (so the answer to 'are you clever?' had to be 'no').
Duck and Jump could be played at the same time as other games. When you went over a bridge you had to jump - lift your legs - and under one you had to duck (as best you could sitting down).
I have discovered that train timetables are a work of fiction. Not only because the time they say the train's arriving bears no relation to the time it actually arrives, but also because more than once now I've got on a train that's not even listed in the timetable. And to make it worse, I've got on trains that aren't listed on the website either. So obviously the only way to get a train is to turn up to me station and hope. because when you ring up you can't even speak to a person any more.
On the plus side, I an writing this on dad's toy (his tablet PC), which is doing quite a good job of my handwriting). He's also put anvil on it since the last time I was home, and it's great. I love the bouncing icon instead of the hourglass!
Today was the annual water pistol fight in Winspit quarry with the local Blakes 7 group. Photos to follow, but it was good fun, as always. I even managed to paint my super soaker this year (well, last night).
I was also reminded that I read about the Discworld con on Judith's LJ and wanted to go. Well, the next one is August next year and looks good, judging from last years program. So, I think I might have to sign up for it. Up for it, Sel?
Am being pressured to watch Atlantis now that himself is ready, so that's pretty much a whistle-stop tour of my weekend so far. I will get round to replying to comments later, and 1 certainly plan to catch up on HLIII.
doesn't really do much for it.
I took 21 photos, I found out when I put them on my computer. I'm really not sure how I managed that. Although one of them is of a particularly blurry tram.
It was also very, very cold, and we got lost a lot. But the Air and Space museum had a couple of Enterprises, a TARDIS, a Dalek and a couple of Cybermen. Oh, and some planes. And we got to see a program being recorded! We went along to Granada Studios (where they film Coronation Street, and other programs I've not been desperate enough to watch) and got to see two-thirds of a gameshow being recorded. I say gameshow because that's what they called it.
We did see a couple of guys set a frying pan on fire, which was quite cool. The host, whose name I've entirely forgotten, introduced it four times - once with one camera, then with another but she said the words differently, so did it again, then couldn't pronounce 'superchef', so did it a fourth time. They recorded audience shots and laughter in advance. Hmm.
It was quite interesting though, but we had to leave before the end so I could get the train that would get me on the last bus. It's not going to be shown until the summer, so we'll have to wait to find out who won a cooking holiday to Goa.
I also had the most interesting train journey home. Even though it started from Manchester, it was pretty much breathing-room only. Why can Virgin not go back to ten carriage trains? So I stood outside first class, which was cold, especially when the door was open and it was snowing outside. It's since snowed three times today, so making that slightly less exciting. Never enough to settles properly though, but I digress.
A drunk girl fell out of the train at Wilmslow, so they dragged her back on, and took her off again at Stafford. A bloke in first class was watching Pirates of the Carribean on his laptop. Which sadly, isn't as good without sound.
At Birmingham the train managers changed over and the new one told the two of his in the corridor to go and sit in first class. Which was very nice and comfortable, but still cold. I did take half my bags to the toilet with me, and the bloke before me came out carrying his laptop. Which didn't surprise me at all.
So, I had a good time, I just seem to be missing sleep somewhere along the way. I also met Nic, although I was really disappointed no-one ever attempted to take both our names.
If you click on the photos you can see bigger versions.
I've just had a massive moth fly in my room, so I tried to lure it out by turning off the light and opening the door (the landing light being on and there's already a dead wasp, a big spider, a beetle and a moth out there). Sadly it was attracted to my computer and I got the shock of my life when I looked down and saw it sat on my CD next to it. I think I managed to throw it out the window.
I had a nightmare last night. I was about to fly to America when I realised I didn't have any travel sickness pills. I ran round the shops in the airport looking for some but couldn't find any. Then I remembered I had packed them, but in my suitcase. I went back to where I was sat and handed my suitcase over before getting on the plane. This made perfect sense at the time.
I then got on the plane and realised I had ten minutes to find some pills before the plane took off (I did think about the fact that they take longer than that to kick in but I had decided it didn't matter). I found a doctor's but the nurse/receptionist was more interested in the contents of the sandwiches. After that there was a supermarket and a cinema involved but my suitcase and backpack ended up flying and I didn't.
I couldn't face the idea of flying for eight and a half hours, specially without pills. But as I've been to America, that woule be my anxiety over flying to Australia, which takes forever.
I've been enjoying the swimming at the Olympics, although it really makes me want to swim. It's annoying that there are no pools round here I can get to except on a Saturday. Which isn't terribly helpful. I also can't see when I'm in there, I can only go swimming when I have plenty of time because I have no way of knowing how long I've been in.
I wish they'd shown some of the fencing, though, apart from just on Sky (which is really not very helpful when you don't have Sky - and I'd certainly not get it just for that).
My ADSL connection has been intermittent since last night. This evening I had to redial four times, it went slow then it disconnected me while I ate dinner and watched the swimming. It seems to be better now. It's not just me though, which is something.
I feel much more relaxed after my holiday now. Okay, so it was a long weekend at my parents but I didn't have to do any washing or cooking, I got ferried round by my sister in her new car (so she could practice driving) and, more than that, there was no work, no Rotaract, no nothing I didn't want to go near. Of course, now I keep thinking it's Monday.
Unbelievably, the trains were just the right amount of late on Friday night that I didn't spend all that much time hanging round at stations. Neither were they too busy because I left an hour late. I wrote fic on the train as well, go me!
Saturday was the annual water fight in a quarry - the fact that it was used for Blakes 7 and Doctor Who filming is merely an afterthought and more of an excuse to have a good time. I was amazed it was nice weather because it's been so crap for a long time. But it was hot and sunny and it was good to get covered in cold water. I managed to tan bits of my feet as well (usefully).
Sunday I went to see King Arthur. The cinema was really hot, which didn't really help, but my sister (who went with me) had to explain the whole plot afterwards because I was so lost. Honestly, she picked up all sorts of bits that were quite important and I completely missed, like what Arthur was fighting for, for a start. So not a great success on the part of the filmmakers then.
Monday we went to Monkey World. I have the photos to prove it but I haven't quite managed to plug my camera in yet. It was cool to see all the animals they talk about on the telly. My parents spent all the time talking about how much it had changed since we last went (which was the year after it opened, apparently) but all I can remember from that is Amy the orangutan. Pictures just don't get across just how big adult chimps are either. They had a bunny there as well, which was stretched out in the shade and generally unimpressed at meeting me.
We spring cleaned my room as well. So now there's plenty of space for more stuff! And I found some things I'd forgotten I had, so that was quite productive. And didn't take long, since mum had already done the cleaning part. I took down a fair few posters as well. Blu-tac goes all sticky when it's old, and hard when it's older still. I think I still have some up my fingernails.
Then I came back here last night to find they'd had a storm and consequently a power cut. Of course at home, they'd had a few spots of rain and it was bright sunshine. My landlady has an electric cooker, so just as I'd given up (and finished my book) and had a sandwich, the power came back on. I had all these things I was planning to do last night and it was really annoying not to get to do them.
Then I was woken up by a moth flying in my ear. Which is very, very loud, and scary. I think I broke a piece of wing off getting it out, so there might well be a dead moth somewhere in my room. But at least it's not in my ear (I got the doctor to check - I was so paranoid I had to sleep with the light on).
My dad introduced me to Abilon, which reads site feeds from blogs (including livejournal). It's great, I love it! You can get my site feed from this address: http://www.paranoidangel.me.uk/atom.xml, which is also on the left hand side of the page. Obviously, it's paranoidangel42 for the livejournal version, but they're both the same.
I am so tired, even though it's only half nine (so this may or may not be coherent), and it doesn't feel like I've done much today, other than wander round the Expo. Oh, and propose marriage to Craig Parker (who played Haldir in LOTR films). Well, ok, I didn't say that to him, and in my defense I wasn't the only person who thought that.
Annoyingly, he's doing a dinner in two weeks, but I have two things on that day (well, one in the day and one in the evening) and a con in October, but Kate won't go with me (too many SG cons!) and it's in Manchester, which is more of a pain to get to than Heathrow (being as it's practically the other end of the country). I did make her promise to go with me to an LOTR con next year, although together with Australia and Redemption that'll pretty much use up my holiday days for next year.
Then on the way home the (very hot) train stood around at Paddington for an extra 25 minutes, so it meant I missed my bus (and the next one wasn't for 2.5 hours, so I got a taxi - I will try and charge Thames Trains for it) and I finished my book when we were only just past Slough.
On the plus side I now have a very silly mouse for work (it has a floating Nemo in it) and Daniel on a keyring.
There's also the problem (and this is less easy to fix) that I don't like driving. I don't like other cars, I'm not terribly keen on roundabouts or traffic lights (I'm never quite sure whether they're going to change or not). I also don't like thin or dark roads, which is what all the ones round here are like. I especially don't like coming onto dual carriageways (so I dread to think what I'd be like on motorways, which sadly, are all round here too).
I also haven't worked out how you can possibly talk while driving. I'm ok, as long as I don't have to change gears, change speed, change lanes, or turn into or out of roads. Which, lets face it, is most of the time. Perhaps an automatic would help, but they're too expensive to consider anyway.
I can have dad's car when he retires in two and a half years. Which is quite nice, because I know it (or will be when the runners have been moved forward so I can reach the pedals) and when I work out how to do first to second. But I'm terrified of what he'd say if I crashed it. I'm terrified of crashing it too, of course.
It's all academic anyway because I can't afford to run one - well, I can but then I wouldn't be able to afford to go anywhere in it. I wish I lived somewhere with better public transport, which would solve all my problems. Or I could just never go anywhere and live a very boring life.
I really don't appreciate you stopping and forcing me to cross the road when you choose. When I'm standing at the side of the road thinking about when to cross I'm not just standing there turning my head from one side to another, I'm planning. I'm looking at what cars are coming, at what speed and deciding when's best to go. If you stop it makes a mess of my plan and I get confused. And don't hoot at me for not crossing when you decide I should, I'll cross whenever I like, okay? And that certainly won't be in front of cars inching forwards.
And while I'm here, I'd appreciate it if you remembered the stuff you learnt when you were learning to drive. Do you remember what indicators are? They inform other drivers and pedestrians where you think you might be going. It's especially useful on roundabouts when we all just assume you're going straight on if you don't tells us otherwise. You aren't allowed to run me over, even if I have crossed in front of you because I assumed you weren't going in that direction. If I waited until I knew for certain no-one was going down that road I'd be standing there all day.
On zebra crossings you aren't allowed on them when I am. It may sound like a stupid rule but it's really disconcerting to hear a car close behind you. It's also nice if you stop when I have a foot on one, not speed up. For a start, I've got right of way. But don't take it to extremes and slow down if I'm anywhere near one. I can wait a couple of seconds for you to get to the other side of it before I cross.
Waiting at a bus stop is not a reason to give anyone a funny look. I know you don't see them very often round here and they are only skippers but there are people without cars that aren't forced to use what we laughing call public 'transport', which the government think we should all be using but haven't got the brains to work out why we're not. I don't think having a brain is in the MP job description.
All you really need to do to make me happy and ensure I don't have a lengthy stay in hospital is to read the Highway Code. It's all in there, really.
Neither finished, but a nice bit of angst over missing Elrohir's. I've also been discovering the Stories of Arda site, which is nice and quick, has a search function and you can leave and reply to reviews.
I went to the Lord of the Rings exhibition at the Science Museum yesterday which was very good. Made me want to watch the films again to see all the things in the exhibition! It was good to meet up with people I'd only met online as well.
I'm going to America in two weeks! I'm starting to get excited, think about packing, and its kind of scary at the same time. I've never been on such a long flight before. I think going to SG6 and meeting up with people the night before will help and take my mind off it. And it'll be good to see my friends again as well.
I'm getting all excited about Alias now I've seen the first episode of series 2 again. It was weird, cos so much has happened since then. Only a few more weeks to wait.
You'd think that going all of three stops from Reading to Goring would be simple, wouldn't you? Well, no. I got to the train station yesterday to find there were no trains, I still don't know why because the announcement was too quiet to hear. I froze on the platform for an hour before three turned up. So I should get 50% back for the train I got on being over an hour late (which will come to �1). Hopefully they'll pay for my taxi too, since there's a gap of 2.5 hours between buses, right when you need them as well. The best bit was that the main screens, the screens on the platforms, the announcements, national rails live departure boards and Thames Trains live departure boards all said different things.
I've done the equivalent of a days work today. I'm probably a bit more then halfway through writing Novick Poland. I really know more about the names of Polish beers than I ever wanted to, frankly.
pissed adj (col) - drunk. It does not mean pissed off (which is used in Britain). The actor David Suchet recalls that when he was at a party in New York and confessed to being 'a bit pissed,' he was puzzled because someone asked, 'I'm sorry. What's wrong?'. This has a number of spin-off terms, such as piss-artist, meaning a heavy drinker, on the piss, meaning on the sauce, and piss-up, a drunken party.
Meant to write in this yesterday, but got tired and went to bed about half ten. Then couldn't get to sleep, so ended up watching a bit of Stargate Director's Cut at quarter to midnight. I have noticed some differences as well. Not entirely certain if they're better or worse yet though. Still totally indecisive about going travelling, hence the not sleeping. I should just see how it goes really, try to do some more IT at work, and if I want to go, it doesn't necessarily have to be next summer. I did realise that I really want to see the Northern Lights (can't spell technical name!). Everything I can pretty much take or leave to be honest. Then I'll have seen just about every stellar phenomena there is.
Been watching loads of Alias recently. I've just realised how good it is. Stupidly went to find some websites and accidentally read some spoilers for episodes I haven't seen yet, which is annoying. But I think some of them won't really make sense until I get to those episodes anyway, and I might well have forgotten them. I found some read hair dye in Boots, that is pretty much the colour I want and only lasts 3 washes, which is good. Unfortunately, you need blonde hair for it to work. Bugger.
Run out of other things to do now! Meant to do some work on my website, but haven't got round to it. Need to stop typing though, hand hurts. Will go and watch Stargate instead maybe (bugger all on TV of course).
Didn't manage to stay up late to watch Star Trek after Monday because it was just too cold. Hurt my right hand this week by doing loads of writing for work. Halfway through The Bill on Wednesday I had to stop cross stitching because my hand hurt a bit. I had noticed it wasn't too god at work but didn't think anything of it. Until I did some epee Thursday night! Luckily hardly anyone was in on Friday, so I got away with not doing very much work. I had to use my left hand for the mouse and type with my left, which I am quite quick at, but I did get quite frustrated with it though. But every time I used my right hand it hurt too much! I haven't done much with it this weekend, so hopefully it'll be fine for all of Monday.
Went to STA Travel on Saturday. So now I've got all of these brochures and I'm getting quite excited about going. There is the matter of a job when I get back though. I think that if I go next summer, then when I come back I can sort my life out, live somewhere nice and buy a new computer. Not sure. I'm going to talk to people who've done it though, and about what I might need to go into IT. And exactly what I can do in the industry as well. I will have to make a decision soon though. I'm not sure if its possible to spend all that time away and only life on stuff you can carry with you!
Trying to decide whether to go travelling now! It was kind of something someone said today and what was said at my appraisal about it, and also what someone mentioned on one of my mailing lists. If I could go into IT in the same company, then it would be kind of stupid to leave it all behind now. I think the trouble is that if I have a good day at work and feel more included, then I think I don't want to leave, but if I have a bad day and feel left out, I desperately want to leave. Same with at home really, I think. I think I'll have to see how it goes and whether I last through the cold in the winter this year, because that's when I felt worst last year.
Really must work on my essay for Jack O'Neill studies and write some e-mails. Perhaps I'll have an evening of doing that and playing with my modem tomorrow night, as it refused to work in the top slot last night, which is not good. Didn't leave work till 10 past 6, so couldn't really have made it to Tae Kwon Do even if I wanted to.
I so want Sikozu's hair! And clothes. And a body to go in them. But I really want to dye my hair that colour, and I wish it was long and curly like that (and manageable, obviously).
Calming down a bit now. I was in a state of shock over tonights Bill. In my defence it was very dramatic. I felt tired before the episode started, but by the end I couldn't stop moving - just nervous energy I think. I had a really boring day at work as well, as there wasn't much work on really. Which is kind of a good thing at the moment.
I think my landlady's gone on holiday. Her car and toothbrush are gone and I know she's supposed to be going soon. Its just as well I didn't let the cat throw up on the video then. I think I will get an early night while it is quiet. And it is nice to get some peace and quiet, it does my head no end of good. Which is probably just as well, given that I've nearly run out of pills - didn't quite manage a pill free day today, sadly.
Virgin sent me a 5 pound voucher - which is not 25% of 40 quid. I checked their passengers charter on their website and it says if the trains are late so you arrive at your destination an hour or more late you are entitled to 25% of your ticket price. Also, if you have to wait at a station for an hour they'll provide you with free drinks. Which is very interesting. I'll wait to see how much I get for the journey up there, then I'll get another complaint form to complain about the complaint. Maybe it was because I used a different address they didn't know it was me, so are trying to fob me off, thinking I don't know the system. Well, they have another think coming!

We’ve probably spent longer than is healthy perfecting this recipe. We reckon these vegan brownies are close to their egg and dairy-full cousins. The trick as always is to take them out of the oven before they are fully baked to get that squidginess inside. They are super gooey and super chocolaty. If you prefer them not so intense, reduce the cacao powder by 25%.
Mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Stick all the wet ingredients in a blender.
Fold in Raw Chocolate Mulberry Chips.
Put in a greased, lined baking tray.
Cook for approx 20-25 minutes. Test with a skewer, it should come out slightly gooey.
Leave to cool slightly in the tray, cut and pop onto a cooling rack.

Off the top of my head, I can think of a few situations where he is the best choice. For example he will replace Anslem a lot of the time. Take for instance in Wisdom, the 80/80/50 camp just south of the LZ. Now I kill that camp with 16 MS and 149 MM on Anslem, the only damage coming from the 80 horseman who have first strike. They normally do 50-100 damage but thanks to A's ability they can only do the 50 low damage. Now swap in Boris. Instead of 50-100, that damage is halved and they can only do 25-50. That means even when they hit for full they still can only do the same as they could to Anslem, BUT now there is a chance to do even LESS! That means you will lose less units than with Anslem. Add in that Boris can also carry 30 more troops, plus gives +50% XP, and there is no doubt who is better for that job.
Other situations that come to mind, are spots where the 1.5 first strike ability let you do a camp with the same losses as some other general, but with that sweet bonus xp.
However, keep in mind that with Mounted MM, his damage capacity surpaces even that to the MG. Plus, he generates more XP per loss than any other General except Mary.
Boris takes full damage from bosses, right?

Weird. I'm not sure what I did to my last post, but only the first few characters actually posted..."bu" was the first part of the word busy.
I've been busy lately. The truth is the family is very busy and I am along for the wild ride.
We went to Disneyland on Tuesday (January 2nd) with the next door neighbors. They both work for Disney's feature animations and invited us as their guests. We all had a great time. The park was jammed packed. We heard that Disneyland had to close the main gates because they were at capacity. We rode a few rides in Disneyland, then headed over to the less crowded California Adventure.
California Adventure has been improved since I was there last. In 2003 it was kind of sucky (as in not much there), but I'm pleased with the changes that they've made to the park since then. Even with the changes, I still wouldn't go to California Adventure alone without also going to Disneyland.
My niece figured out that I was gay when we were at Disneyland. I was talking to Hank, the next door neighbor, about Dan and me getting married, and Bryelle asked my sister, "Is Dan a boy?" Piper said that he was. Piper told me that she could see the wheels turning in Bryelle's head, then Bryelle asked, "Is Uncle Greg gay?" To which Piper replied that I was.
Well that was pretty much what I tried to post last time. I'm going to try to fill in the rest as soon as I can. I'm not always able to get onto the computer. I'm able to right now because my niece is at a sleep-over with one of her friends tonight and I'm using her computer.

DJ Khaled comes through with another summer banger — this time featuring no one less than Rihanna herself. Former Gossip frontwoman Beth Ditto debuts her solo album with the immediately catchy “In and Out.” Icona Pop, one of Sweden’s great pop exports, adds another notch to their belt of hits with “GIRLS GIRLS.” Electronica duo Odesza turn ambient tunes into soaring anthems on “Cornes of the Earth.” And D.C. rapper Chaz French pens the perfect ode for Father’s Day Weekend, a track with plenty of depth.
What do you get when you combine Carlos Santana and Rihanna? Thanks to DJ Khaled, we now know the answer: an irresistible, Latin-inflected summer jam with some smooth verses courtesy of the addition of Bryson Tiller. But we all know this is Rihanna’s show, as she deftly croons her way through the slow-burning track, which owes a deep debt of gratitude to the instantly-recognizable guitar riff from Santana’s 1999 classic “Maria Maria.” Thanks, Rihanna, for heating up the summer.
Beth Ditto is best known as the memorable frontwoman for disco-punk band Gossip and a fashion icon in her own right. But with her first solo album, Fake Sugar, Ditto shows us a whole new side of her musical self: a pop powerhouse with an ear for Americana-drenched tunes that run the gamut from Gossip-style punk-lite to country-tinged rock to bubblegum disco bops. Through it all, though, Ditto’s eminently strong voice rings true. “In and Out” is one of the lighter tracks off of Fake Sugar, but also one of the catchiest, with rockabilly moments and a soft, singalong chorus that newer fans will quickly latch on to.
Get lost in the atmospheric electronica of Odesza on new song “Corners of the Earth,” a dreamy track off of upcoming album A Moment Apart, due out in the fall. The Seattle-based production duo have a keen ear for songs that resonate with the spot right below your collarbone — their 2014 hit “Say My Name” featuring Zyra is evidence enough of that — with “Corners of the Earth” delivering their shimmering electronic layers behind an aching vocal from Ry X that ultimately builds to the level of epic anthem. So, yeah, this song will give you feels.
Chaz French oozes funk and swagger on “Pops,” the rising D.C. rapper’s first single off of upcoming album True Colors, out in July. The track is an ode to a father — just in time for Father’s Day — but it’s a complicated type of admiration, filled with references to struggles with incarceration and drug dealing. And yet. Chaz’s rich tones and the haunting, subtle backing melody give the song its own, deeply-felt emotion.
Swedish pop supergroup Icona Pop gave us seminal party anthem “I Love It” back in 2012, cementing their name as a go-to for girl-power tracks sure to get people on the floor. “GIRLS GIRLS” is an apt follow-up, a club-ready groove mixing their signature singalong choruses with a tropical house edge. “Some nights I remember, some nights I forget,” they shrug, supremely unbothered by anything other than the pursuit of the party. Sounds like summer.
