EVE - A Glimpse of the Path I Have Walked

EVE is a world of survival, of constant struggle for money, power, and prestige, and of solitude. This is the path I've walked. Two years of making the best out of what given to me told from the start. Tune in for the tale.

Day One. A noob in an Ibis.

First of all, I would like to clarify that this blog is intended for those who have acquired at least some knowledge of the game. Technical terms will be used throughout this blog, though I will to highlight and define each at the first time used. Okay, now the technical stuff is out of the way. Let's get on with it, shall we?

Two years, god, I don't even know where to start. As the saying go, let's start at the very beginning. We will recount the steps I have taken to become the pilot I am today from the moment I first logged in.

Day One - Some years ago.

Without any knowledge at all, I started EVE without spending a minute researching it at all. I saw the ad on a web site with two pretty Naglfars on it, which was the symbol of Red Moon Rising Expansion at the moment, all I wanted to do was to jump right into a ship and engage the first target I see.

The game took half an hour to download to my hard drive. Another half an hour went by while I rushed through the technical issues, the EULA, naming my account, and creating my character like a surfer riding the waves.

And so I woke up in a system in the Caldari State as a graduated pilot from the State War Academy. It has been too long for me to even remember precisely which system it was. My idea of the game changed from a fast-paced space combat game into a more mellow, yet tedious game with one of the steepest learning curve during the first several minutes I spent on the tutorial. Due to my own stupidity, I spent the next hour and a half flying through 52 jumps of lowsec, abbveriation of low security space, to pick up one charge of Iron Charge S I bought from the market as instructed by the tutorial. The round of ammunition I bought turned up less than 2 jumps from where I woke up. Lesson one learnt: double check everything.

I spent the next fifteen minutes multitasking between finishing up the tutorial and familiarizing myself with the UI and most importantly, the market, looking through ship after ship. Every player starts out with five thousands ISK. Everything available on the market, ranging from commodities to the most advanced equipment money can buy, is far from my reach. "Don't be so discouraged. You have just started the damn game." I told myself. And I pressed on. At this precise moment, I found what I had called the ship for me, the Merlin. It was merely a Frigate. "Start small, but dream big" the saying goes, and that was what I did. Keeping the goal small and reachable is the key for starting players like myself, I set out on a conquest. A Merlin might have been seem small enough a goal for me to be able to compete within hours. Oh boy, was I wrong. Along with the ship came the technical stuff that I had to spend time researching and carefully calculate. "Do I have to skill to fly the Merlin?" "What is an Afterburner?" "What is the difference between hybrid turret and laser turret?" "What are a good 'setup' for a Merlin?" The questioning continued as I rushed through the belt of a 0.6 system in my Ibis fitted with a Civilian Afterburner, a Civilian shield booster, and two Civilian Gatling Railguns, killing Guritas pirates for the bounty on their ships.

Some hours later, I rushed to Kisogo. A Merlin is on sale there for three hundreds thousands ISK. I couldn't wait to get into that Merlin. It was my first trophy in EVE. You know that moment where you stand in front of your peers and parents holding up the diploma? It resembled that feeling in a smaller, more subtle way. And so, after hours of getting that last rat, short term for NPC pirate, in the belt just to get to the next while carefully planning out skill training, comparing one setup to the next, I was in my Merlin fitted with two 125mm Railgun Is, two 'Malkuth' Standard Launcher Is, a Civilian Shield booster, a small and two micro shield extenders, one 100mm and one 50mm reinforced steel plates, I set out for my first adventure in the New Eden.

In the meanwhile, I talked with the people in the State War Academy and the Newbies Help Channel to gather as much information as humanly possible without overloading my brain. EVE, as per my understanding at the time, is a world of struggle where Darwinism thrives. Knowledge will forever remain the key to success. I was not far from being right, and even further from being wrong. The Eden is filled with opportunists, scammers, and ruthless players that I had to, and still do, stack my odds against. The general consensus was to join a player-controlled Corporation as soon as possible. I came into contact with my very first mentor, to whom I owe much respect and much greater debt for walking me through the first rough stage of the game. Because EVE is world for survival, new players are always preys for the more experienced. The number one rule is never trust anybody. This rule, of course, should be both absolute and relative. You have to trust somebody to earn theirs. On the other hand, trusting the wrong person only means your end is in sight.

After a lengthy talk with my mentor, I logged off for the night holding pride in my Merlin. It was able to crush the biggest rat on the block in a 0.5 system with ease. I intended to venture into lowsec for more challenge the day after.

And so my first entry recounting my first day of EVE is over. It was a February night, the year of 2006. Stay tuned.

General Article: Som's Best of 2012

By Som Pourfarzaneh on January 01, 2013

2012 was an action-packed year for MMO gamers.  We've seen the launch of several high-profile, hotly-anticipated titles, played expansions for some of our favorite games, and tinkered around with previews and betas for potential blockbusters.  In terms of variety, there's now always a smorgasbord available, and chances are that you have a ton of stellar games vying for your consideration.  I know that I have several games, MMO and otherwise, that are sitting on my desktop clamoring for my attention, and while I've enjoyed playing a variety of 2012's MMORPGs for work purposes, there are certainly a few personal favorites to which I keep returning.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my shortlist for non-MMO games of the year, which includes Borderlands 2, FIFA 13, Forza Horizon, Touch My Katamari, and Football Manager 2013.  In a year full of must-play games across genres and systems, these games have definitely garnered the lion's share of my non-MMO attention.  There are also several of 2012's MMORPG expansions that I've either played for preview purposes or am chomping at the bit to get to, and just haven't yet had the chance to explore.  These include Rift: Storm Legion and World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria.  Inundated as I am with a plethora of games for work and pleasure, I haven't yet had the opportunity to dig into these expansions, but believe you me, they're on my list.

Guild Wars 2

I feel like I've been anticipating the release of Guild Wars 2 since The Breakfast Club was on the big screen.  I had played the game's predecessor, Guild Wars, and all of its expansions, followed all of ArenaNet's blog posts and developer diaries, read a bunch of wikis (and a good deal of the officially licensed novels) to catch up on lore, and covered the game for pre-release streams and content.  I've always been a fan of ArenaNet's vision for a new type of MMO experience, and feel invested in the characters and world of Tyria that they have created.

The best thing that I can say about Guild Wars 2 is that it has met, if not surpassed, most of my expectations.  It has an absolutely stunning aesthetic and art design, an engaging combat system that requires skill and flexibility, and a massive world that rewards exploration.  It features a new approach to PvE content that emphasizes dynamic events and teamwork over the old hats of static quest hubs and mob tagging.  Importantly, it also provides the basis for a complex and multi-layered PvP system in its instanced scenarios and World-vs-World combat.

My enjoyment of Guild Wars 2 can sometimes tiptoe around fanboyism, but I'm well aware of and vocal about the critiques that can be leveled against it.  The game's events, for example, don't feel so dynamic after you've seen them play out ad infinitum in an area, particularly when you're rewarded for sticking around lower-level zones because of Guild Wars 2's level adjustment system.  Crafting, while more accessible and streamlined than in other games, still doesn't make a convincing argument for my time over the game's other features.  The state of structured PvP is a whole other story, and the game's rewards system is still undergoing a lot of tinkering to please high-level players.

Taking all of these criticisms in stride, I still find Guild Wars 2 to be pound-for-pound my most fun and engaging MMO experience of 2012.  Its rich, open world demands exploration, and while some of the game's systems are not as revolutionary as expected, they are still innovative enough to revitalize traditional aspects of the genre.  I like, for example, the combat and progression systems, which still utilize tab targeting and skill bars, but add features of mobility and experimentation that invigorate the PvE and PvP experiences.  I enjoy sPvP and WvW, evolving spheres of the game that they may be.  I get a kick out of Guild Wars 2's dynamic content, and am excited by how much of it already exists, with new areas for each of my five characters to explore.

Most of all, Guild Wars 2 is one of 2012's games that forced me to actively engage in learning how to play it, which is a characteristic that I value greatly.  I don't mind telling you that for all of my anticipation towards Guild Wars 2's August launch, I had a hard time getting into the game because I was still approaching it with a traditional MMO mindset.  After playing it more, and seeing for myself what ArenaNet was attempting to accomplish with the sequel to its flagship title, I began to understand the potential that Guild Wars 2 has to offer, and found its focus on cooperation and exploration to be a breath of fresh air.  Guild Wars 2 requires a bit of a paradigm shift of your gameplay expectations as a bar of entry, but I find that giving it a little work and attention is well-worth the effort.

The Secret World

Funcom's The Secret World has been receiving quite a lot of press attention since its move to a buy-to-play model of monetization, which is exactly what it needs to thrive.  Arriving in July with no small amount of fanfare but no large amount of advertising dollars, and a mandatory subscription that proved prohibitive, The Secret World seemed to capture the interest of many but the dedication of a select few.  I really enjoyed Funcom's new game for a month or so after release, and found its storytelling and open character development to be particularly appealing, even if its investigation missions sometimes feel unnecessarily obtuse.  I have the same issues as everyone else with The Secret World's clunky combat animations and work-in-progress PvP, but they're a small price to pay for the game's depth of gameplay.

I've recently gotten back into the game and have been pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy it.  Perhaps ruminating on the game's flaws has allowed me to look past them and adjust my expectations, but in any case, I find The Secret World to be a refreshing experience in its modern-day, conspiracy-theory setting.  I highly recommend checking it out, particularly with the mandatory subscription fee lifted, and especially for those looking for a counterpoint to traditional fantasy and sci-fi MMO tropes.  Just be sure to get your loyalties straight.  And Illuminated.  Illuminati!

The Lord of the Rings Online

Like every other Middle-earth aficionado out there, I followed my first viewing of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey with a Lord of the Rings extended edition marathon, which refreshed my love for Tolkien's created world and stories.  It also reminded me of why I keep coming back to Turbine's The Lord of the Rings Online, because throughout the movies, I was struck by how faithful LOTRO is to the books, and how much of the lore I've learned through playing it.  This will make me sound like the biggest nerd ever, but I'm pretty sure that when they mentioned Dol Guldur in The Hobbit, I exclaimed something aloud to the effect of, "I've BEEN there, son!"  Suffice it to say that I continually enjoy adventuring in Turbine's representation of Middle-earth, and even though I've yet to dip into 2012's Riders of Rohan expansion, I find myself returning to LOTRO time and again.

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

Over a year ago, I wrote in my re-review of Vanguard that it could greatly benefit from switching to a free-to-play model, which didn't look like was in the cards at the time.  Lo and behold, in 2012, Sony Online Entertainment completely changed their stance on the subject and built a F2P system to suit Vanguard, alongside their new free-to-play initiative.  This shift provided the impetus for me to jump back into Vanguard in 2012, and while the F2P implementation is not perfect, I certainly will take any excuse to play SOE's game for free.  Coupled with the resumption of updates and new content additions, the game's switch to free-to-play in 2012 has given me the incentive to play in Telon again, and Vanguard's world is just as expansive, fantastic, and engaging as it always has been.

Torchlight 2

Runic Games' Torchlight 2 is more or less the perfect sequel.  It adds a plethora of features to the base Torchlight formula, including new classes and pets, an open world, co-op play, and a whole lot more.  I love that even with the amount of depth available in each class' progression trees, I can still spam my Engineer's basic Flame Hammer skill and feel like the destroyer of worlds.  Torchlight 2 evolves most of the systems that were already polished in the original game, and builds upon the series' charming aesthetic and addictive gameplay.  Plus, at its attractive price point of $19.99, it makes a convincing argument to be played, and is well worth the investment.

2012 was a fantastic year for video games, and I'd love to know what are your games of the year!

Floppy disks, jump drives, DNA? Scientists have developed a way to encode music and text files into DNA, the molecules that normally hold the instructions for life.

The new method, described Jan. 23 in the journal Nature, is extremely expensive right now, but eventually it could be used to store digital files without electricity for thousands of years. And since DNA is so compact, vast amounts of data could be stored in one test tube, said study author Nick Goldman, a geneticist at the European Bioinformatics Institute in the U.K.

"I've gone from being a skeptic to a believer," said David Haussler, a geneticist and computer scientist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was not involved in the study.

And because DNA is the script of life, crucial in medicine, agriculture and other endeavors, human beings will always be pushing for ways to improve the reading and writing of DNA, Haussler told LiveScience. [Genetics by the Numbers: 10 Tantalizing Tales]

The team has even used the method to encode Shakespeare's sonnets.

Data deluge

From floppy disks to CDs to magnetic tapes, the technologies to store, read and write digital data become obsolete rapidly. Digital archives take a lot of space, and the files themselves, even archival magnetic tapes, need to be freshened up or rewritten every few years to prevent degradation.

Goldman and colleague Ewan Birney, also of European Bioinformatics Institute, were discussing this problem over beers one day when they realized that DNA might actually be feasible to store vast amounts of data.

As the discovery of intact woolly mammoth DNA demonstrates, the molecule can last for tens of thousands of years as long as it's stored in a cool, dark place, they said. It doesn't require electricity to maintain, like hard drives do, can include built-in error checking, and it's incredibly compact, Goldman told LiveScience. (Earlier this year, another team demonstrated the feasibility of DNA storage, but stored a tiny amount of data and didn't include error checking.)

Storage solution

The researchers began to sketch out a way to encode the 0s and 1s of a computer file into the alphabet of letters that make up the genetic code. They then chose several digital files — a portion of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" speech, all the sonnets of Shakespeare and a photograph of their institution — encoded them into DNA letters, and had a company in California called Agilent assemble short snippets of the DNA.

Because the method creates multiple, overlapping copies of each DNA snippet, the method also includes a built-in error-checking system. What they got back was a tiny amount of DNA, "an almost invisible fleck of dust in the bottom of a little test tube," Goldman said.

They then read the DNA-based files using a gene-sequencing machine. Using current technology, reading the DNA took more than two weeks and cost more than $10,000, Birney said at a press briefing. To store the world's existing data would be "breathtakingly expensive, perhaps costing more money than is on the planet," he said.

But the technology to read and write DNA has improved 10,000-fold over the last eight years and is likely to continue improving even more rapidly, Haussler said. In 10 years DNA could start supplanting magnetic tapes, which are currently used to store government and other long-lasting, rarely accessed archives, he estimated.

"You can't get obsessed with the fact that it may not be practical today. If you do any reasonable projection of current trends five or 10 years into the future you see that this is in the sweet spot."

Ancient Words Lite - iPhone & iPod Touch Game
      #36757 - 04/15/10 06:59 PM

#1 The story:
"A long time ago in ancient Greece was living extremely rich greek Dedalos Papulosis. He always wanted gold only for himself. To hide his fortune he commanded all slaves to build great labyrinth. And all who have seen drafts of that construction were killed. Only one thing is known: there are 42 stone gates locked with words. Many brave young people did try to enter but..." . Now it's your turn! Good luck!

#2 How to play?
Tap on letters on the main board to compose word displayed at the bottom of the screen.

#3 The Colors Meanings
Each color has it's point value:
green - 15 points and +5% of time bar
red - 20 points
orange - 20 points
yellow - 20 points
blue - 20 points
purple - 20 points
white - 10 points
black - 50 points and -5% of time bar

#4 The Special signs
They don't give points but you will find their features usefull:
locker - this sign will not disappear until you will use it
replacer - replaces first avalable letter with it's own color
reseter - randomize board, use it carefully it takes 30% of time bar

#5 The Combos
Use your brain and imagination to compose combos:
FIESTA - you gets 1000 points when you compose word with no repeating colors
CHECKER - you gets 1500 points when you compose word with blacks/whites separated whites/blacks
RAINBOW - you gets 2500 point when you compose word with colors order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. If word is longer then 6 sings you can fill up word only with blacks or whites.
BLACK WIDOW - you gets 5000 points when you compose word only with blacks

#6 What is the challenge?
Probably you think as always, to maximize score!
Well... no and yes (as said Bilbo Baggins)
The main challenge (in imagination) is to go out the labyrinth but with maximum number of points in reality (did you already knew that?)!

#7 Few tips:
- always look two steps forward
- collect reseters to use when you stuck, you can collect up to 9 reseters
- look for replacers and lockers to compose word using their features, replacer does not give points but can be used to compose combos

#8 Game features:
- 4 magic combos (fiesta, checker, rainbow, black widow)
- 3 special signs (locker, replacer, reseter)
- 8 colors for signs (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, black)
- 26 unique ancient signs
- 42 fields on board
- 42 gates to unlock
- each sign gets its time to live. Shortest is 15 seconds and longest is 30 seconds. After this time sign disappears and new one replaces it.
- 1359 words locking gates (with 3 letters - 113, with 4 letters - 207, with 5 letters - 219, with 6 letters - 226, with 7 letters - 282, with 8 letters - 312)
- 4 game types: easy (7 seconds per sign), normal (6 secods per sign), hard (5 seconds per sign) and insane (4 seconds per sign)
- personal scores table (separate for each game type)
- daily scores table (separate for each game type)
- global scores table (separate for each game type)
Price: Free

Armadillo Gold Rush

Published by
Developed by
Critic Score User Score
Windows Mobile

Roll your armadillo 'round 75+ wild western mazes. Grab all the gold and keep your eyes peeled for traps, puzzles, critters and other dangers. Use bombs, blocks, tunnels, switches...and your brain!

Armadillo Gold Rush is a western themed 2D action/adventure game where the player rolls an armadillo around the screen, collecting all the gold coins. There are over 75 levels, where each level is uniquely designed to have a different challenge that can require quick timing, solving puzzles, exploring mazes, avoiding snakes and other monsters, flipping switches to open gates, etc. There is a very large amount of variety in the graphics and sounds, with lots of different environments and objects in each level. The game also has a short 6 level tutorial to teach the player how to play, and each level can be replayed many times as the player tries to beat their best time, high score, and minimum number of moves.

Onimusha: Warlords

Critic Score User Score
PlayStation 2
Not an American user?

Onimusha: Warlords is set in 16th century Japan during the period of the civil war dominated by Nobunaga Oda. You play Samanosuke Akechi, who dies during an attempt to stop the kidnapping of young princess Yuki, the sister to Yoshitatsu Saito. However, Akechi is given another chance at life, and is handed the gauntlet of the Ogres.

With this new power Samanosuke must fight through the monster-filled halls of Inabayama Castle. As monsters are defeated, their souls are absorbed by the gauntlet, increasing its power. Some souls restore Samanosuke's health and magic, while others can be used to power up weapons, armor, and items. Powering up weapons will increase their damage and the strength of their associated magic, and is also required to pass by special locks throughout the castle. Items will need to be found in one part of the castle to unlock doors or otherwise bypass obstacles elsewhere in the castle, and sometimes the player will take control of Samanosuke's companion Kaede while Samanosuke is incapacitated in some way. Kaede can reach some locations that are beyond Samanosuke as well as pick locks and throw kunai, but she can not absorb souls or open any lock intended for the wearer of the Ogre gauntlet.

Living In Paris When You Don’t Live In Paris

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Oh, how I love having a patisserie and a bakery run by actual French people across the street and down the road. Yes, the bread is to die for, and yes the chocolate croissants are better than any other I’ve tasted before, but for me what I love about these 2 little places are the way they make me feel.

I stand at the counter, eyeing all the beauty behind the glass, pondering which delight to choose, and patiently wait for my turn. I wait for one little thing. One little thing that transports me instantly. “What would you like?” she says in a romantic, oh so Frenchie accent. For in that moment, the sweet French lady carries me to a patisserie in Paris or a boulangerie in Bordeaux. I can pretend for just that moment that I am steps away from the Sacré Cœur and going to head down the hill with my baguette for lunch. Stepping into these places give me so much more than bread and pastries. They give me hope that I will one day get to visit this town that I have loved from afar for so long.

I wrote a little about our village lifestyle on my guest post on sfgirlbybay last week because I just adore having these special places to call my local haunts. But mostly I love living a little bit of Paris if only for a minute.

Food Photography Inspiration

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Despite my lack of love for food, I am a sucker for food photography. I love looking at it and I love shooting it myself. The textures and colours are really important in making food look good, as well as plenty of natural light. I really love the rich tones all these amazing photographers have in their food photography. Colour, texture and styling all make for instantly delicious looking shots. Every time I see something as inspiring as these photographs, I want to get in the kitchen and cook just so I can shoot! Who cares about the eating part!

Mikkel Vang

Roland Bello

Karen Wise

Aya Brackett

Lisa Cohen

Along with these amazing photographers who shoot for magazines, there are some wonderfully inspiring photographers who cook and shoot for food blogs. Here is a sampling of some of my favourite food blogs with gorgeous food photography…

Cupcake Awesomeness

Choc and Blue Cupcakes

I was supposed to meet him at the bookstore. I made my way through the doors, peering over shelf stacks and bargain tables trying to spot him. He was meandering in the fiction section when he noticed me clutching a box of cupcakes.

Most males would ask if one had been bought for them. Not him. He took one look at the box of cupcakes and instantly made the “camera click” gesture with his fingers. He knows me so well it’s frightening.

Sure, cupcakes are sweet fluffy cake explosions that taste oh so good popped in the mouth, but damn they are made to be photographed. Eating them is just a bonus, right?

I shot these bad boys with my Yashica FX3 camera and Kodak Portra 400NC film. No flash, just natural window light. I was pretty pleased with how they turned out. I’m now offering these prints in the store.

In case you missed it yesterday, I was interviewed on Shutter Sisters. I’ve been following their photography website for quite some time, so I was honoured to be asked. You can read it here.

What’s In Your Kit? with Cannelle et Vanille

Thursday, January 7, 2010

I was going to wait till next week to post this next interview in the series but seeing as I am off to Hawaii for a week, I thought I’d give you another today.

I am so excited to share my next interview with you as she is another of my favourite photographers. The super talented Aran Goyoaga runs the blog Cannelle et Vanille where she shares 3 fabulous talents; cooking, styling and photography. Her food photography is absolutely stunning and even though all the masterpieces she creates look absolutely scrumptious, I think she could make a bag of dirt look appealing.

Without a doubt Aran’s photography is out of the world pretty because of the light she finds, her magical eye and the way she styles the food. The colours are so vibrant and jump out of the picture and everything looks absolutely delish! Clearly, the combination of photography, cooking and styling make for knock out photos and make Aran one very talented lady.

MB: What is your camera of choice?

Aran: I currently shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II but I shot with the Canon 50D until not very long ago.

MB: Which are your favourite lenses to work with?

Aran: For food photography I love my Canon 100mm macro. I am also experimenting with tilt shift lenses now. When I travel, I shoot with the 24-105mm and the 50mm 1.4.

MB: What do you find are the best lenses to use with food photography?

Aran: I think macros are great because you can get so much detail when you get in close which is great for food. I love the bokeh they give. Tilt shift lenses are also great but I am still experimenting so I cannot give much advice just yet.

MB: Name a camera you just love to have fun with.

Aran: My 3 year old son’s Sony point and shoot. We are very silly with it!

Thank you so much for sharing your favourite equipment with us Aran. I for one look to your photography for inspiration when thinking about shooting food. I just wish I could cook like that!

Please stop on over at Aran’s famous blog Cannelle et Vanille and leave her some blog love. You can see her portfolio site here and add her as a contact on flickr here.

All photography of course owned by and copyright Aran Goyoaga.

Australian Gourmet Traveller Magazine

Monday, July 27, 2009

Australian Gourmet Traveller magazine is one of my favourite Aussie mags. This month, I could not resist as it was their annual French issue. The cover alone was enough for me to buy it, but flicking through its pages got me all excited for a whole issue full of fabulous Frenchiness.

The cover is graced by beautiful photography of delicious looking, pink macarons. You can read the article and recipe about how much the French love their macarons on the Gourmet Traveller website.

Another great article inside explains how to eat in Paris for under €10 and tells you exactly where to find each of the restaurants.

What I of course love about the magazine the most is the photographic style. Their food photography is divine and it makes me want to become someone who loves to cook. I really don’t, which makes me sad. Australian Gourmet Traveller may well just have to be one of the many fabulous, Aussie mags that my mum will have to send me!

This is by far my favorite. It doesn't look bohemian to me, but you have a really wonderful, strange thing going on. It's like if you put a feral cat (or mystique from the Xmen) in a rhinstone tiara. Splendor if you can pull it off, but you will get beat to shit in the process. You manage to make luxury and old lace look sinister in the best possible way...

Register Rewards
Register Rewards (RR) are coupons from the Catalina machine that print after you make a qualifying purchase. Most Register Rewards can be used like cash on your next order. You can use coupons and still receive your Register Rewards. You cannot “roll” your Register Rewards into the same product purchase (ie. you cannot earn a RR for Colgate and turn around and purchase Colgate for more RR).

If you complete more than one Register Rewards deal in one transaction, one reward for each different RR deal should print, but you will not receive more than one Register Reward for the same deal.

Walgreens registers will not let you use more Walgreens coupons than items purchased (excluding Walgreens Ad Qs & IVCs). So, you can buy 1 item, use an IVC and a manufacturer coupon and it will work, but if you try to use a RR the register will beep. Add a cheap filler item to your order and the register will accept the coupon.

Coupon Types:

Weekly Ad Coupons

Your weekly Walgreens ad may have deals that require a coupon from the weekly ad. You must use the coupon in order to get the advertised price. There are usually limits imposed per transaction. You need only use one coupon for each transaction and all items will ring up for the coupon price. These are Walgreens coupons that can be combined with manufacturer’s coupons.

Easy Saver Coupons
The Walgreens EasySaver Catalog is found at the front of the store with the Walgreens Weekly Ad. The front of the booklet has Walgreens coupons called Instant Value Coupons or IVC. These coupons can be combined with manufacturer coupons. These coupons do not need to be clipped, and do usually impose a limit.

Monthly Deals
These are deals that will be available for the entire month.

Weekly Deals
These are available beginning Sunday and running through Saturday unless otherwise noted.

Superintendent Recommends Not Moving Forward with Proposed Changes in Bell Times

June 10, 2014
Cost of implementation, mixed community feedback are major factors

Superintendent Joshua P. Starr is recommending that Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) not move forward with proposed changes to school starting and ending times, also known as bell times, citing implementation costs of more than $20 million and mixed feedback from the community.  While he does not plan to include the additional funding in his Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 operating budget proposal in December, Dr. Starr left open the possibility of revisiting the issue in the future.
“I recommended we study changing bell times because I believe it is an important issue that deserves our attention,” Dr. Starr said. “But after receiving the final cost estimates, along with mixed feedback from our community, I do not believe it is feasible or responsible to move forward with these changes at this time. However, we will continue to discuss and monitor this issue.”

In October, Dr. Starr  recommended that MCPS consider shifting high school start times 50 minutes later, shifting middle school start times 10 minutes earlier, and extending the elementary school day by 30 minutes. This recommendation was based on a report from the 2013 Bell Times Work Group, which studied the impact that school start times have on the health and well-being of students, mainly those in high school.

Dr. Starr asked MCPS staff to gather public input on the recommendation and do an in-depth analysis of the costs and operational impact. He also asked a group to study options for how the additional 30 minutes of elementary school time could be used.

On Tuesday (June 10, 2014), Dr. Starr released a report that includes a summary of extensive public input from thousands of community members and an analysis of transportation, utility, and staff costs for the proposal. The report will be discussed with the Board of Education at its business meeting on Tuesday, June 17, 2014.

Dr. Starr noted that Gov. Martin O’Malley recently signed a bill asking for a statewide study of bell times and whether public schools should start later.

“I, and many others, will look forward to seeing the results of this study and whether the state will offer any revenue to offset the significant costs associated with these changes,” Dr. Starr said.

Public Input

From October to April, MCPS gathered input on the proposed changes to bell times from thousands of MCPS students, staff, parents, and community members. The public input was gathered in a variety of ways, including:

· Four community forums attended by 676 people and other staff-facilitated discussions attended by an additional 960 people;
· Surveys completed by more than 15,300 parents, more than 45,000 students, and nearly 15,000 staff members;
· Seventy-seven “Neighbor-to-Neighbor” discussion groups; and
· More than 740 emails sent to the MCPS bell times drop box.

The MCPS community was not of a single mind about the proposal. Parents were most in favor of the proposal, with 78 percent of those surveyed supporting Dr. Starr’s recommendation. However, high school students (50 percent) and staff (51 percent) were evenly divided on the idea. Middle school students and staff favored the idea (70 percent and 65 percent, respectively). However, a majority of elementary school students and staff were opposed to changing bell times with only 35 percent of students and 30 percent of staff favoring the shift.

There also was significant concern about extending the elementary school day by 30 minutes, which is needed to ensure that school buses have enough time to make their runs. If the elementary school day were extended, there was a strong preference for students to receive breaks during the day or additional time for recess, physical education, or the arts.

“Our staff did an outstanding job gathering input from a broad array of stakeholders and giving everyone a chance for their voice to be heard,” Dr. Starr said. “While there has been support for changing bell times from some parts of our community, there is not a clear consensus on this issue.”

Financial Impact

The report released Tuesday indicates that the recommended changes would cost at least $21.6 million per year for increased transportation, staffing, and utility costs. This includes $12.9 million to purchase and operate 57 additional general education buses and 96 additional buses to serve special education students and those who attend magnet programs.

The cost of adding 30 minutes to the elementary school day would vary depending on how the time was used. For instance, extending recess or lunch would cost about $8 million a year, while increasing art, music, and/or physical education classes would cost about $47 million per year.

Dr. Starr said that student enrollment in MCPS is growing by about 2,500 students a year, and more children each year need additional supports and services to ensure success. This requires more resources just to provide the same level of services to a growing number of students and allows a limited amount of money to fund new initiatives. For instance, the FY 2015 budget, approved by the Montgomery County Council last month, includes just $12.5 million in new initiatives to help address the achievement gap and prepare staff and students for a new curriculum and new assessments.

Dr. Starr pointed out that MCPS already anticipates needing at least $135 million in additional funding for the FY 2016 operating budget in order to replace the one-time funding sources used by the County Council to fund the  FY 2015 budget, meet the district’s ongoing obligations, keep up with enrollment growth, and invest in strategies that will help the district close the achievement gap.

“Bell times are an important issue related to student success and well-being, but have to be viewed in the context of other priorities and needs the school system must consider,” Dr. Starr said. “These needs include hiring more teachers, counselors, and school psychologists to meet the academic and social emotional needs of our students;  expanding the use of technology in the classroom; reducing class sizes, especially in schools with the largest achievement gaps; and investing in other programs that will  meet the individual needs of our students.”

“This report gives us a comprehensive understanding of the views of the community and the associated costs with changing bell times,” Dr. Starr said. “We will continue to monitor this topic and I hope that it is an issue we can address in the future.”

Leitão’s first budget aims to trim spending growth

QUEBEC — Finance Minister Carlos Leitão, in his first budget Wednesday, equalized the tax levy on beer and wine consumed at home and in bars, raised the cigarette tax by $4 a carton and increased parents’ contribution for subsidized daycare places by 30 cents to $7.30 a day.

This budget, aimed at rebuilding the Quebec economy on “two strong pillars” — a growing economy and “sound balanced public finances,” promised no new taxes “apart from measures with which most Quebecers likely agree,” Leitão said.

The change in the beer and wine taxes, a long-standing demand of bar and restaurant owners who now will pay less with the uniform tax, will add $36 million to Quebec’s coffers this year. The higher cigarette tax, will bring in $90 million in 2014-15.

The previous Parti Québécois government proposed raising the daycare charge to $8 this September and $9 a year later, a proposal rejected by Liberal leader Philippe Couillard.

During the election campaign, Couillard said the hike would mean parents with two children in daycare would pay $1,000 a year more.

This is Quebec’s second budget this year. The PQ budget, presented in February, was not adopted.

Former PQ finance minister Nicolas Marceau called Leitão’s spending and tax plans “a budget of broken promises,” noting the Liberals promised tax cuts and 2.1-per-cent economic growth. The Leitão budget calls for 1.9-per-cent growth.

And while the Liberals campaigned on job creation, criticizing the PQ record, Marceau said this budget confirms his government created 47,800 jobs in 2013, while Leitão is only promising 31,300 jobs in 2014 and 46,300 in 2015.

In his budget, Leitão said the $2.5-billion deficit, announced by Marceau for 2013-14, was in fact a $3.1-billion shortfall and Marceau’s projected deficit of $1.75-billion this year, will also be $600 million higher, at $2.35 billion.

Leitão recalled Marceau initially aimed at a balanced budget in 2013-14.

Quebec’s total spending in the 2014-15 fiscal year, which began April 1, including provincial programs, health and education spending, will total $97.4 billion, with $10.8 billion in interest payments.

“Spending continues to grow faster than revenue, which is the very definition of a structural deficit,” the minister said.

Two experts commissioned by the Liberal government, fiscal specialist Luc Godbout and economist Claude Montmarquette, as well as acting auditor general Michel Samson, have indicated the needs of Quebec’s public sector are about $4 billion higher than its resources.

Samson found government departments asked for a 6.7-per-cent budget increase this year.

Marceau proposed in his budget a two-per-cent cap on spending increases.

The Leitão budget calls for a 1.8-per-cent spending cap this year and a 0.7-per-cent ceiling in 2015-16.

Like Marceau, Leitão pegged the increase in health-care spending at three per cent.

Michèle Pelletier, of the Association québécoise d’établissements de santé et de services sociaux, representing Quebec’s hospitals and health network, said the system needs at least a 4.4-per-cent increase.

“It will certainly have an impact on services,” Pelletier said, adding that the $150-million increase for home care, that was in the Marceau budget, is absent from Leitão’s.

To bring down Quebec’s spending levels and balance the provincial budget by 2015-16, Leitão announced the creation of a taxation review committee, chaired by Godbout.

As well, an Ongoing Program Review Committee, will assess Quebec’s spending programs to redirect resources “where the needs are greatest.”

In one of its first acts, the Couillard government announced a public-sector hiring freeze, now extended until 2015-16, called for productivity gains, representing two-per-cent of payroll, and imposed a three-per-cent reduction in government spending.

For 2014-15, there will be more spending cuts, a review of some programs, delays in spending commitments and changes in operating practices.

“These measures will represent savings totalling $2.7 billion in 2014-15 and $2.4 billion in 2015-16,” the minister said.

Government agencies will also be asked to cut spending by $438 million in 2014-15 and $172 million in 2015-16.

Leitão took a first step in reining in spending, announcing a 20-per-cent cut in tax credits for business and suspending measures proposed by the short-lived PQ government, for $35.5 million in savings this year, rising to $371.1 million in 2016-17.

Martine Hébert, of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said Quebec has 160 tax credit and subsidy programs for businesses along with the most red tape and highest taxes for small businesses in Canada.

“Are all these programs efficient?” she asked.

Leitão announced the corporate income tax on small and medium-size businesses in manufacturing would be lowered to six per cent from eight per cent Thursday and to four per cent next April 1.

Hébert called this is “a good first step.”

Leitão said the Liberal government wants more private investment, “focusing on small and medium-size businesses.” Small manufacturers in remote regions, like the Îles-de-la-Madeleine, will be given added tax credits for transportation to their markets.

The second of the five “thrusts” of the Liberal plan is a maritime strategy, focused on water, rail and truck transport, with the goal of making the St. Lawrence River the North American gateway for trade with Europe.

The third Liberal thrust calls for reviving the Plan Nord, announced by the Charest government, to encourage mining projects in northern Quebec.

A fourth thrust will be in natural resource development, specifically forestry and mining projects beyond the Plan Nord perimeter. The province also wants to develop oil and natural gas plays in Quebec, and is ready to invest up to $1 billion for equity stakes in gas and oil companies.

Hydro-Québec will use its comparative advantage of lower electricity prices to attract industrial investments and the utility could invest in transit electrification projects.

It will also build a fourth transmission line from James Bay, at a cost of $1.1 billion, creating 1,000 jobs.

For the fifth thrust, Leitão pledged to continue Quebec’s 2014-2024 infrastructure plan to invest $90.3 billion over 10 years. But the precarious state of Quebec’s public finances means an additional $15 billion in infrastructure spending, shelved by the PQ, will not be revived.

The First Million is the Hardest

Not long ago, I participated in a conversation on NetworthIQ: “Struggling with breaking the first million mark“. The question posed was about mental focus and persistence needed to get to that magical $1 million mark. However, it got me thinking about the mathematical aspect of it.

First Million Is The Hardest

As you can see from the chart, if a person invests $15,000 per year starting at age 25 and the investment gains on average 10% a year, he can get to $1 million mark by 45. The first million took 20 years! But if you keep going down the table, it only takes…

  • 6 more years to get to $2 million at 51
  • 4 more years to get to $3 million at 55
  • 3 more years to get to $4 million at 58
  • 2 more years to get to $5 million at 60
  • 2 more years to get to $6 million at 62
  • 2 more years to get to $7 million at 64
  • 1 more years to get to $8 million at 65

Not only is this mark psychologically challenging, it is also mathematically challenging.

Now back to my situation. If I can manage to save $1 million by the age of 43, I might have a shot at making the $10 million mark!

What do you think?

PS: I also saw a similar analysis by another PF Blogger not long ago. I left a comment saying it was an excellent illustration. If you are that blogger, please let me know so I can link to you.

    What if your goal was to get to at least a billion $.

    Is it harder to go from scratch to becoming a millionaire?

    Or harder from already having a million dollars, to becoming a billionaire?

  2. mykscott says:

    5 months later I stumble on this post. From my experience, this money goal thing can really take over your life. My first goal was to save $10,000 by the time I was 20. Then my goal was to get to $100,000. I just reached $1million last year at 48. Yippee! I’m really an exciting conversationalist…I learned how to save money from my dad….he retired at 45 years old when I was a senior in high school. He’s actually pretty exciting also… I turned things around just now…remodeled kitchen, Europe trip, flying lessons…but I think back how/what I could have done earlier in life if I hadn’t been so damn focused on the dollar.

  3. Alex Pino says:

    That’s awesome but personally I can’t wait that long to enjoy life. That’s why I’ve jumped from being an employee to owning my own business that I’m passionate about. Good luck man!

  4. Kevin says:

    @Money: Imagine how much you could really enjoy life if you diligently saved for that first million? $15,000 per year isn’t all that much for a 2 income family.

  5. Money says:

    Goals are nice, but money isn’t everything. The first million isn’t hard if you don’t care about it. Think about it. Enjoy your life and what you have, people. It’s good for you.

  6. salman says:

    Hi My name is Salman. I am international student studying on very wealthy school ship, covering everything from tuition to healthcare. Along with that they provide us with a monthly salary of $1,850. Being that I am a business major I got to read little of how to become a millionaire. I was astounded to know that “I should start investing as soon as I can”.

    But have little knowledge in stocks I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO? so if anyone can throw at me about:

    1) What are they essential points I should know about the stock market , that I can build a strong base to the market ?
    2) What are the key points that I look at when looking for a stock?
    3) What percent of my income should I put in stocks ?
    4) Being international how can I benefit from overseas stocks ?

    So if anyone was welling to throw any info or knowledge on me that would be great . Thank you

  7. To me the first million would be easy to achieve. I would start with a billion i would have to lose 99.99% which would be super tough. If I could certainly lose 99.99% with a strategy, then playing against the opposite strategy would yield a huge gain..

  8. Jonathan says:

    Totally agree Pinyo the first million is the hardest. What you have shown is how easy it is to accumulate more money once you already have a lot, ah the joys of compound interest!

  9. Pinyo says:

    @Fiscal Musings – Great point.

    Please take a look at Building, Diversifying, and Shifting Your Income Streams to see more ideas about income building.

  10. fiscal musings says:

    I think it’s interesting that everyone is so caught up in the unpredictability of the stock market and the associated gains. There hasn’t been any mention of other forms of investing.

    I understand that real estate is getting a bad rap right now, but the gains there can be quite good and oftentimes predictable. My point is that there are other options and it’s not all that difficult to imagine 10% yearly returns.

  11. Pinyo says:

    @Amanda – welcome to Moolanomy and you’re welcome :-)

  12. Amanda says:

    I am so incredibly inspired by this post! Not only could I be a millionaire one day… but a multi-millionaire… and all I have to do is diligently save each year? What a wonderful post. Thank you.

  13. Pinyo says:

    @Telemill – thank you and welcome to Moolanomy. I read your goal: “Gain $2,000,000 in 3 years and chronicle my progress.”

    I should be reading your blog.

View Full Version : Wakesurf board vs. Traditional long board

12-26-2006, 03:27 PM
I have a friend who grew up surfing in California and is now looking to convert to wakesurfing. He was wondering what the differences between boards are and if one could use a long board to wakesurf. Any information (tips) would be appreciated.

01-01-2007, 11:20 PM
I think the wake surf boards are by design, faster and more maneuverable behind a boat wake. You could do it with a long board, but I think it would get boring pretty quick. If you are going to do it regularly, I would invest in a good board from Inland Surfer or Shred Stixx.

Morgan native participates in annual German fair

Article Date:
1 August, 2014 (All day)

By Staff Sgt. Warren Wright
For some, the American military in Germany is a mystery. By participating in the 2014 Rheinland-Pfalz-Tag, the 21st Theater Sustainment Command is able to break down the barriers of its fences and show the local nationals everyone is a part of the same community.

“Sometimes it seems like we sit behind walls most of the time,” said Maj. Neil Hurd, a nurse and anesthetist with the 212th Command Support Hospital and a native of Morgan, Utah. “I’m sure it’s kind of a mystery to them what we do and maybe even a little scary that we’re in their country. By getting out here we can show them that what we do is meant to do good.”
Soldiers from throughout the 21st Theater Sustainment Command showed off their various capabilities during a Rheinland-Pfalz state-sponsored fair in Neuwied, Germany, July 18-20.
The 2014 Rheinland-Pfalz-Tag is an annual event taking part in a different city within the state each year, bringing together people from all across the state in order to showcase the many various state institutions and organizations within Rheinland-Pfalz.

Representing the 21st TSC this year were the 5th Quartermaster Theater Aerial Delivery Company, the 7th Civil Support Command’s Medical Support Unit-Europe and 773rd Civil Support Team, the 30th Medical Brigade’s 212th Combat Support Hospital, and the Theater Logistics Support Center-Europe.

“We’re here supporting our higher command and conducting community engagement,” said Capt. Hubert Little, a medical operations officer from the 773rd CST and a native of Lawrenceville, Georgia. “We’re letting (the locals) see what our capabilities are and what we bring to the table as a partner. It allows them to see how we’re supporting Germany and our allies.”
For the 21st TSC, working closely with its German partners is a daily occurrence, and Rheinland-Pfalz-Tag provided an excellent opportunity to emphasize that to the participants.

“One of our main missions is to work in collaboration with the Germans and the other nations within Europe,” said Capt. Jessica Taylor, a physician assistant with the MSU-E. “We do a lot, and the more we can get our face out there and show that we’re helping will help build better relationships within our community.”
Rheinland-Pfalz-Tag gave the various contributing 21st TSC units the opportunity to highlight their specific and unique missions to the participants of the annual event.

The displays at the event included paratroopers from the 5th QM demonstrating how to properly pack a parachute, soldiers from the 773rd CST showcasing their decontamination equipment, medical specialists from the 212th CSH exhibiting their field hospital equipment, soldiers with the MSU-E with their medical simulator mannequins, and apprentices with the TLSC-E highlighting some of the unique training they receive.

“Our capabilities are kind of special,” said Sgt. Edwin Schimmer, a parachute rigger from the 5th QM and a native of Phenix City, Alabama. “We want to show everyone that there’s another side to the military where we can provide humanitarian relief as well as dropping equipment to fight war.”
“We’re not just here to be the big, bad Army – we’re here to show everyone that we’re also a part of the community,” added Schimmer.

Additionally, soldiers participating in the event had the opportunity to get to know their neighbors in the community they live in.
“It’s important for not only my soldiers, but for everyone to get out here and demonstrate the capabilities between ourselves and our partner nations, the similarities between our training and the ways we can help foster a good environment for our community here in Germany,” said Schimmer.
Pfc. Molly Parr, also a parachute rigger from the 5th QM, agrees.
“Because we live in the community, it’s important for us to show them that we’re friendly,” said the Kalama, Washington native. “They’ve been so welcoming to us and it’s important that we do the same.”
