Eric Alexander makes his first foray on HighNote Records into the hallowed halls of the ‘ballad record’, and joins the ranks of such tenor balladeers as Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young, Houston Person, Hank Mobley and countless others. But this is not your mother’s ballad record. Eric has selected an interesting program of music that will interest and please even the most seasoned collectors. From “Dinner for One Please, James” to Trane’s “Central Park West,” Eric displays a thoughtful sensitivity that is all the more effective for being so surprising.

So if you're wondering whether it's worth paying out for a book on crucians, the snippet below may help you make up your mind.
The First Edition is quite collectable, although sadly "Crock of Gold" is now out of print and increasingly difficult to get hold of. I don’t think that there are any plans to do another re-print.
Chapter One: Crucian Trivia
Chapter Two: The Subtlest Carp by Chris Yates
Chapter Three: The Crucian Carp Conundrum by Hugh Miles
Chapter Four: The 18th and 19th Centuries
Chapter Five: The 20th Century
Chapter Six: Fishing in Small Ponds
Chapter Seven: The Victorian Estate Lakes; Including Winter Night Fishing by David and Bryan Matthews
Chapter Eight: Gravel and Sand Pits, by Mark Wintle, Alan Stagg and Martin Bowler
Chapter Nine: Marsh Farm by Peter Wheat
Chapter Ten: Swedish Shangri-la by William Wyatt, Stefan Burnert and Dr. Henrik Ragnarsson Stabo
Chapter Eleven: First Steps: the Crucian Nursery
Chapter Twelve: Moving On: Two Kinds of Fishery
Chapter Thirteen: Practical Management: How to go About It
Chapter Fourteen: Well, We Can All Dream...
Chapter Fifteen: Identification and Variation
Chapter Sixteen: Alphabet Soup: Brown Goldfish and Crucian Hybrids; "Prussian Carp"
Chapter Seventeen: Native or Introduced?
...and this is the end of the introduction, promising a lot of good things!
"So please read on if you want to know what makes a crucian different from a brown goldfish or a hybrid, or if you want to know what a Prussian carp is or was. If you're puzzled why crucians from different waters don't always look the same; or why stocking with crucians can be such a gamble - why they sometimes disappear for years or, at the other extreme, why they sometimes run riot and take over a pond - then read on. Come fishing with me and my guests and read some theories, if no certain answers, about those difficult bites: why a successful strike is sometimes impossible and at other times so easy; and why sometimes you can't buy a bite when the surface of the water fizzes with bubbles from feeding fish? If, oh sad reader, you want to find out how it is that a crucian doesn't need oxygen to survive and still wriggles when its head is cut off - then please read on."
"The crucian is an elusive fish in more ways than one, but well worth the effort of discovering - hence the title of this book."

I prefer pen over pencil for proofreading because it shows up better and is clear and sharp for making small marks. The problem has always been trying to keep things tidy when I can’t erase my marks. I was very fond of the Bic Wite-Out correction tape for covering up mistakes, but erasing them is far better.
So far I’ve tried the blue 0.7 mm Frixion Ball and the red 0.5 mm Frixion Point, and I like them both. The colour of the ink is nice, and they use a gel ink that isn’t greasy and doesn’t run or smudge. I don’t know whether anyone has had a problem with the ink fading under hot conditions (like a car dashboard in the sun), or whether the erased marks can be made to show again, but I haven’t noticed any problems with durability. | hobby |

To keep registration fees as low as possible, it is necessary to raise money through fundraising.
Each year the club spends over $95 per child during the soccer season (this includes field usage fees, referee fees, league dues, OYSA fees, equipment and maintenance), yet we only charge no more than $75 to play each season.
We will be selling limited cookie dough, Bob's Red Mill items, Round Table Pizza cards, along with Meat sticks and Jerky, to raise money to allow us to continue to keep our registration fees as low as possible. Your coach will have more details at the beginning of the season.

It was a great walk, and an interesting piece to write. And I took the photos used in the magazine and online too.
The Essex Way — an 82-mile long distance path running roughly south west to north east from Epping to Harwich — may sound a lot like a sequel to a familiar reality TV show, but (in contrast to the aforementioned show) it actually represents the perfect means to get to know the county.
For those of you not familiar with the terminology, a long distance path or LDP is usually taken to be more than 30-miles long and often joins together existing rights of way. Essex has several of these LDPs, but the Essex Way is the most significant walk, growing in stature and reputation since its inception in the early 1970s….
Connecting the fringe of London to the North Sea coast well away from the bustle of the A12 and mainline railway corridor that so many of us spend so much time traversing, if the very thought of it sounds arduous, it needn’t be, for there are no rules here. You can walk it east to west or vice versa, in small sections or large chunks, over several weekends or even years, or tackle the whole length flat out in two or three days if you fancy a real challenge on your doorstep.
John Juchau of the West Essex Ramblers took part in the group’s walk of the Essex Way in ten legs from April to October three years ago. ‘You can dip in and out and do bits of it, or in circular walks to get back to your car or transport,’ explains John. ‘People may think that Essex is all flat and boring, or built up, but that’s not the case. It has some delightful countryside to walk through.’
Aside from the varied landscape it reveals along its route, the real beauty of the Essex Way is its comparative accessibility – never far from useful transport links, but always only a short stroll into rural tranquillity. One end is alongside Epping’s Central Line tube stop, the other a stone’s throw from Harwich Town train station. You can hop off the train at several spots back towards Chelmsford for quick access to the nearby path, or for simple bus connections north to south. With a car, or two in a group, it’s a doddle and a pleasure to pick out entry and exit points to the Essex Way’s pastoral delights.
‘Essex is such a diverse county with many different things to offer and when you are walking you can get a real sense of place,’ says Lisa Bone, strategic tourism manager at Visit Essex. ‘72% of Essex is rural and the Essex Way showcases the variety of landscapes, towns and villages — each with their own unique character. Much of it challenges the perceptions that people have of Essex.’
Wide tracks and grassy paths flow into woodland walks and waste-height cuts through ripening crops, with occasional forays onto the Tarmac of country lanes. On a wet winter’s day, with Essex clay clogging your walking shoes after tackling tricky muddy field-edges, those back roads can provide some welcome respite. Stride out on a summer’s roam along any decent-length stretch and your focus will be far more upon the variety of things that come your way.
Intersecting daily life along its route, you’re more likely to greet a local dog-walker than a fellow long-distance traveller. But this is still somewhere you will get the chance to swap stories with other Essex Way expeditionaries — as well as stroke and feed wayside horses, be startled by a pheasant darting into a hedge, see a hare cavort across a field and spot endless birds in flight and song, which, perhaps like me, you woefully can’t identify…. | hobby |

March 30 is the date. Parsing the situation further gets you two additional dates for the arrival of Spring in case you're otherwise occupied: March 22 is the Opening Day for Major League Baseball in Australia; March 30 is Opening Night; March 31 is Opening Day.
How does this have anything to do with Jazz, you might ask? There are many avenues from one to the other vis-à-vis players of both and, in a personal vein, a teacher I once had. Jazz, like baseball, requires strategy and an "in the moment" collaboration with your group, or team. A player--of music or baseball--has to develop a set of skills, and in particular, strengthen the things that make them unique. Some are everyday players, like a Phil Woods or a Derek Jeter, and others astound with their clutch efforts off of the bench.
Art Lande, a pianist/drummer/composer, first introduced this link of the two when we were talking one day; he described the activities of baseball and Jazz as being "an enactment of community." Lande is a prominent performer in the Jazz world and as an educator, he is equally revered. Lande teaches Jazz improvisation through the use of games to replicate a "real time" feel for deploying your skill set, or getting the hang of a concept. Lande is a master of developing such games.
Having studied and performed with Lande, my own take on his teaching approach is that it probably had its genesis in a board game of his own devising that he has played religiously since the 1950s: The League. This version of the game is played with a deck of cards and a magazine (a baseball publication acting as the diamond). Intricate rules written in pencil accompany each outing of "The League.". This game goes everywhere with him during the season and many Jazz players know of his pastime. Michael Brecker, in the middle of doing a clinic and not having seen seen Lande for a decade or more, called out to him from the stage, "Hey Art, are you still playing The League?"
Lande, being a pianist and a drummer, listens intently from either an offensive or a defensive position when he plays. As a matter of fact, in talking with him about his teaching method, he instructs students to use four ways of listening when approaching a musical situation. These go from being a benign team player to an outright contrarian, a Ty Cobb of the sternest sort. It is an interesting way in which to approach being an ensemble player in a small group setting. You can listen and blend, assisting every note played to have a seamless presence; you can play in a supporting way, using contrary motion, or other devices that help to underscore and support the music; you can instigate a contrary position on the proceedings; or you can ignore everything and hold forth with your own story to tell. This latter approach tests the mettle of any performer. Denver trumpeter Ron Miles once told me that, by ignoring the chord changes for a chorus or so and eventually resolving into the correct changes,one can add a lot of tension or anticipation before "getting to something good."
Each year, as Spring training winds down and the days to the official start of the season are fewer and fewer, I always think of Art Lande, The League and Jazz. I also remember a trip we went on one summer: Eleven games in Eleven Days. Me, Art and some other musician friends of his, following undulating ribbons of asphalt across the midwest in a VW van: From Denver to Toronto and back; Negro League baseball museum in Kansas City and brunch at The Magnolia, where an Ahmad Jamal-like pianist played; a jam session in Cincinnati after a game; a bar in Chicago with wonderful Jazz after a White Sox game. And all the while, we all played The League, and talked about music. It was a halcyon summer full of diamonds that were green. | hobby |

Stuck in the project quagmire? Contemplating yet another coding language to learn? Look no further, weary wanderer, for Python holds the key to unchaining your creative spirit. And before you dismiss it as “too beginner-friendly,” let me assure you, this unassuming reptile packs a potent punch of power hidden beneath its elegant scales.
But why pick Python for your next personal project? Well, fellow adventurer, buckle up, because I’m about to unleash five compelling reasons why Python is the perfect potion for your coding concoctions:
1. Readability: A Code that Sings, Not Snarls
Imagine a programming language that flows like a sonnet, not a cryptic incantation. Python’s syntax is like a warm hug for your brain. Its emphasis on whitespace and clear structure makes it incredibly readable, even for beginners. No more deciphering hieroglyphics or wrestling with convoluted syntax; with Python, your code sings, not snarls. This clarity translates to faster development cycles and easier project maintenance, freeing you to focus on the juicy bits: building, tinkering, and creating!
2. Versatility: A Swiss Army Knife in Your Coding Backpack
Think of Python as the MacGyver of programming languages. Need to whip up a web app? Django and Flask have your back. Craving some data analysis? NumPy and Pandas are your statistical sidekicks. Yearning to automate tasks? Beautiful Soup and Selenium weave their magic. From web scraping to machine learning, scientific computing to game development, Python’s vast ecosystem of libraries tackles virtually any challenge you throw its way. No need to juggle multiple languages; Python lets you conquer diverse domains with one powerful tool.
3. Community: A Network of Helping Hands, Not Head-Scratching
Learning to code can be a lonely road, but with Python, you’re never truly alone. The Python community is legendary for its warmth and supportiveness. Countless online forums, tutorials, and documentation are just a click away, brimming with friendly faces and helping hands. Stuck on a bug? No worries, the Stack Overflow oracle will guide you through the darkness. Don’t underestimate the power of a vibrant community; it can turn roadblocks into stepping stones and fuel your coding journey with encouragement and camaraderie.
4. Rapid Prototyping: From Idea to Reality in a Flash
Ever have an idea that crackles like lightning but fizzles out before you can code it? Python’s rapid prototyping capabilities are your lightning rod. Its quick turnaround time and concise syntax let you test your ideas quickly and iterate like a champion. Need to validate a concept or build a basic MVP? Python lets you transform your brainwaves into tangible prototypes in record time. So, ditch the slow-churning behemoths; with Python, your ideas can dance from imagination to reality in a blink.
5. Scalability: From Humble Beginnings to Grandiose Heights
Don’t let Python’s beginner-friendly facade fool you. This language can scale alongside your ambitions. Started with a simple script? No problem! Python gracefully transitions from solo projects to complex applications. Its modular design and robust libraries empower you to tackle larger and more intricate challenges as your skills and vision evolve. Think of it as a trusty steed that carries you from your first wobbly steps to galloping across grand coding landscapes.
Python: Unleash the Power of Simplicity
So, there you have it, adventurer. Five compelling reasons why Python deserves a starring role in your next personal project. Its readability, versatility, supportive community, rapid prototyping, and scalability make it the ideal language for unleashing your creative spirit and transforming your ideas into tangible magic. Ditch the complex incantations and embrace the power of simplicity. Choose Python, and watch your coding journey soar!
P.S. Feeling overwhelmed? Don’t fret! Python development services are readily available to help you navigate the coding wilderness. Whether you need a helping hand with specific tasks or a full-fledged coding co-pilot, there are talented professionals out there eager to share their Python expertise. Remember, even the mightiest adventurers sometimes need a guide, so don’t hesitate to seek out qualified python development services if you need an extra boost on your coding journey.
Python is more than just a programming language; it’s a philosophy, a way of thinking. It champions clarity, efficiency, and a focus on the bigger picture. By choosing Python, you’re not just acquiring a technical skill; you’re becoming part of a global community of passionate creators and problem solvers. So, take the plunge, adventurer! Embrace the Pythonic path, unleash the power of simplicity, and watch your coding skills blossom into something truly remarkable.
Remember, the Python journey is filled with endless possibilities, and the only limit is your imagination. So, code with confidence, experiment with enthusiasm, and join the vibrant community of Pythonistas who are building the future, one line of code at a time. | hobby |

The Spanish coast is one of the most biodiverse areas in Europe, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers, birdwatchers and fans of diving and snorkelling. So, if you’re thinking of spending your holidays on the Costa Brava, don’t forget to take a trip to these nature reserves:
- Aiguamolls de l'Empordà
- La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone
- The Cadí-Moixeró
- Cap de Creus
- Baix Ter, Montgrí and the Medes Islands
1. Aiguamolls de l'Empordà
Located in the bay of Roses, the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Parc is the second most important wetland in Catalonia. It is the perfect place to observe waterfowl and sea birds, as well as migrant birds that stop to rest in this marsh. The park is perfectly outfitted with wooden walkways so you don't miss one part of it. If you’re lucky, you will be able to observe some of the otters that were reintroduced to the area years ago.
2. La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone
If you want to feel the energy of walking on what was once a volcano and looking directly at one of its craters, the La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone natural park is for you. Characterised by forests of holm oaks, oaks and beeches, it has 28 hiking trails of varying difficulties where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and the coast. Absolutely unmissable is a walk through the Fageda d'en Jordà, an incredible beech forest that looks like something out of a fairy tale.
3. The Cadí-Moixeró
About two and a half hours from the Costa Brava, the maritime landscape completely changes and we find ourselves in the middle of the Pyrenees, in a natural park high in the mountains. The Cadí and Moixeró mountain ranges are two of the most impressive in the Pyrenees, with steep slopes and valleys full of meadows and forests. This park is home to emblematic species such as wolves, chamois goat-antelopes, bearded vultures and wood grouse, although you will have to be especially lucky to find them.
4. Cap de Creus
In the northern part of the Costa Brava, occupying the municipalities of Llançà, Cadaqués and Roses, among others, is the Cap de Creus park that includes sea and land. It is an unparalleled place for diving, with well-lit ocean bottoms where you can find meadows of Posidonia oceanica seagrass and red coral, which house a great variety of fish and marine invertebrates. If you don't fancy getting wet, though, you can always enjoy the many cliffs and coves.
5. Baix Ter, Montgrí and the Medes Islands
The park of the Medes Islands mixes coastal mountainous areas, cliffs, coves and marine landscape. It is one of the areas of Spain where it is easy to observe bottlenose dolphins and where you can find large coral communities (especially red coral and violescent sea-whip) full of all types of fish. To warm up after your dive, we recommend a walk through the bushes of its grassy hilltops, letting yourself be captivated by the smell of rosemary and thyme which are native plants of the area.
If you still want more, you can also visit the other natural parks in the area:
- The Montseny: It is the most visited natural park in Catalonia and has countless routes. Declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1978, thanks to its biodiversity and well preserved Mediterranean forests.
- L'Albera: In the northern part of Girona, this park is known as the only area of the Iberian Peninsula where there are still natural populations of Hermann's tortoises.
- The Capçaleres del Ter & del Freser: One of the newest parks in the area, declared in 2015, characterised by Pyrenean landscapes of high mountains. For an unforgettable excursion, take the "zip" train that goes up to the Vall de Núria and enjoy the activities offered according to the season. | hobby |

:I would strongly recommend Anthony as a driving instructor. He is very thorough and explains everything so you feel confident in your ability. He also keeps you on target for your goals and records all progress. I really enjoyed my driving lessons, and passed my theory first time and my practical with no minors!. Thank you Antony for all your support.”Annais
Antony is a great driving instructor, he is very patient and explains everything very clearly. I was so confident when I booked my test, and I pass with just a couple of minors and passed my theory first time. Thank you.Thomas Kelly
I used Tiki driving school to learn how to drive back in 2014 and it was first recommended to me by a close friend. Which I can honestly say was the best decision I had made. The overall experience was great, I was having 1 to 2 lessons a week and was improving week by week. Never was there a dull lesson, every lesson we would discuss how to perfect my
driving as well as the usual banter and chit chat. I developed a very good friendship with Anthony which I can say, 2 years on I still consider him as a good friend and instructor too. I failed my first time and Anthony was very calm about it we got back to the lessons the week later and worked on my weak points and then second time round I passed straight away. I have always recommended Tiki driving school to anyone that asks me, it is not only a great price but I feel I really got my monies worth. My brother will be getting to drive soon next year and I already know who I want to teach him.
My sister passed her test first time with Antony and I have now done the same. He is such a good driving instructor and my little brother in a couple of years will probably pass his test with you first time. Thank you very much 🙂Terry Mulhern | hobby |

27/02/2016 2 Comments
Publisher NIS America have announced they will be releasing the bullet-shooter styled game Touhou Genso Rondo (working title) onto the PS4 as a digital download within Europe and America later this year.
Developed by CUBETYPE Touhou Genso Rondo is a shooter, similar to the likes of Deathsmiles and Ikuraga, thats set within the Touhou universe and it’s a game that will feature both an engaging story mode as well as fast-paced bullet dodging arcade fun. This particular version of the game will be a full High Definition remaster of the Japanese-exclusive PC game with newer HD visuals, a complete UI overall, rebalanced gameplay mechanics and an updated single-player experience such as an all-new boss battle rush mode and extended scenarios.
The news comes from their Press Event earlier in the week which saw the publisher also announcing the western release of Psycho Pass: Mandatory Happiness, which we posted here, onto the PS4 and PS Vita.
Touhou Genso Rondo, which is its current ‘working title’, will be released as a digital download onto the PS4 in the near future; with more details expected to be revealed in the coming months. | hobby |

|Just a quick word. I wrote 98% on written and achieved 98% on the practical for non-restricted. I had never touched a firearm before this course began. Gunexams was invaluable to me. Many thanks.|
Successfully challenged the PAL exam scoring 98% (made one mistake due to misreading one question.) Thanks to GunExams.com I felt very prepared. I also very much appreciated the timely responses to the variety of questions I asked, I never waited more than a couple of hours for a response - great customer support. I learned plenty, thanks.
Excellent study aid for both the non-restricted and restricted tests. I scored 98 and 100 on the non-restricted, and 100 and 100 on the restricted. Your practice exams were well worth the money. Thanks! Mike
Very impressed with the Course material. Passed the Non Restricted and Restricted exams with 98% and 96% respectively. Highly recommend your site! Don M Saskatoon
Hi Gun Exams , just wanted to say thank you. I challenged the CFSC/ CRFSC exams and passed both written and practical exams with 98%,96%,98%,98% . I studied 50% of the questions from Australia and took the exams when I visited Canada. I recommend Gun Exams 100% . I have been shooting for 30 years ,however learnt a lot about the important Gun management laws in Canada and a couple of new things about firearms and safety. Thank you. Patrick
Hi Gun Exams, Just wanted to thank you for the help, received 100%, 100%, 100%, 98% Cheers!
I just wanted to say how valuable I found your web site for the Restricted and non-restricted exams. I completed about 75% of the questions and wrote my non-restricted and achieved a 98% on the written and 98% on the practical tests. I wrote my restricted 2 days later and score 100% on written and 100% on the practical. This is an excellent web site and I would definitely recommend it to all. Just a note I have almost no gun experience. Thanks Again.
Just a quick addition to your testimonials, Although I have owned firearms for most of my life, I'm 62, I was nervous taking the "non restricted" tests - I have not owned or touched a rifle for 12 years. After taking 800 test questions over a week & watching the RCMP handling videos, I challenged the test - scoring 100% on the written & 88% on the handling portion. I would/will recommend your site to any one who asks. Thanks, the results may have been very different without you. Peter S
Just wanted to say thanks - I wrote the test and scored 100%/100% restricted and 100%/98% non-restricted, written/practical. I'm 41 now and have shot since age 12; I learned a few things and remembered other things I had forgotten. Your exams are worth every cent.
Thanks for making the exams easy. Tim S
Hi I am a Member here at Gunexams.com I challenged both the CFSC and CRFSC and CORE I got 94% Written and 98% Practical on the CFSC and 96% Written and 98% Practical for the CRFSC. I passed CORE as well. Well worth it. Thanks to Gunexams. Sincerely Richard A.
Just a note to thank-you guys for preparing me for both the CFSC & the CRFSC exams. The instructor later confided in me that I received a 92% grade on my CFSC theory exam. This exam was challenged! I wouldn't have been able to do this without your excellent site. Thanks again!! Montreal, Canada
I aced the exam thanks to your practice exams. Finished exam in ten minutes100% thanks again.
Thank you gun exams, I took my cfsc the other day and I got 100% thanks to your site. I t was definately worth the money and more. D. Powell
I just wanted to say that, although I have been using guns for 53 years, I found the tests to be really helpful in pointing out weak areas. I have now passed both the restricted and non-restricted exams successfully. I attribute this largely to the information I learned by using your practise tests. This was money well spent. Thank you. - MCD
I know I answered a lot of questions and tons of tests... but I passed 96% on the written and 92% on the practical... Thanks I'm done.. Couldn't have done it without you... I'll recommend your site wholeheartedly.
Just took my non-restricted and restricted exams, passed with flying colors, thanks to the practice exams. Your course was invaluable as far as the required knowledge to pass these exams. I would definately reccomend your service to anyone needing to acquire certification. Sincerely Larry S.
Thank you. This site is a great place to prepare for the CFSC exam, well done on the site. Craig
Thanks for your help and adding the 500 questions and the ability to custom tailor the restricted test like the non-restricted test. I told my son about your website and he also signed up for the bundle...we're taking our exams together. C. M.
I love your site...my learning retention with this type of review is so much quicker than by book alone!
Just took and passed the Firearms Safety test with flying colours ! Thank you GunExams, you made it a breeze. I will certainly recommend you. There was nothing on the test that wasn't covered by your practice questions, including the practical part of the exam. Thank you again. Cal M.
Thanks for all your help. I used your questions extensively to review and test myself on the CFSC curriculum. As I was challenging the exam the practice tests were very helpful. Thanks again. Don
I just wanted to thank you . It made the test an easy endeaver.well worth the cost.you cant help but ace the test.
Just wanted to send my thanks. I discovered your website on Tuesday and wrote the restricted test on Wednesday night. I can honestly say that your site helped me pass with an average test score of 94%. Thanks Vincent
I passed my written safety exam with a score of 100% due to about 10 training exams on your website. Thanks!! Frank
I Just challenged the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) and the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC). I got 100% CFSC and 96% on the Restricted also 96% on the Gun handling. This is after only 3 days of using your site. Thank you Very much. Great Site. Dan
I just passed my non-restricted test. 96% on the written, and 100% on the practical. Your practice exams were invaluable in achieving this. Now I am preparing for the restricted exam, and am sure your practice tests will help with that as well. I'll let you know how I do in a couple of weeks. Thanks again!! Bill C.
I've taken the written and practical exam on March 25,07. I challenged the exam. I am 100% confident that "gunexams.com" is responsible for my passing grade of 98% on the written portion. I would highly recommend anyone taking the PAL exam to use this site if you're comfortable with firearms or you've let your current PAL expire. Anyone else should take the course... the privileges of having a gun is huge responsibility and shouldn't taken lightly. Thank you, Gerry R
First of all, let me say how good I found your practice exams. There is lots of material that doesn't seem to be in the manuals. As I intend to challenge the exams, I don't think I would do to well without your product. I will let you know after I write how it went. Thanks again for a great product. Bob B
I only signed up for the non-restricted but after passing with flying colors thanks to the support your tests gave me, I have decided to take the restricted as well.
Just wanted to thank you for an awesome course. The questions not only helped with the written exams... but big time with the practical .I felt very comfortable handling a semi auto for the first time.Knowing the ACTS & PROVE helped me pass with flying colors. CFSC 98% written 100 % practical CRFSC 96% written 98% practical Best score out of 17 students. Thanks, Ian
I have enjoyed studying for the exam using you website. Thanks a lot.
I'm writing this note to tell you that your practice exams are a great help in preparing to write the firearms safety exam. After using your exams, I challenged the actual exam yesterday and passed with 100% correct. I think that I likely would have passed anyway but not with a 100% score. This is a great way to study. John W
Hello My name is Conrad and I just wrote my non-restricted firearm exam. I passed with 100% on the written and 98% on the pratical. I cannot say how much your program has help me not only gain knowledge but also confidence. Thanks and keep adding the questions to this puppy cause it is doing a great deal of good.
Just wanted to say thanks for the site - very, very useful. Just sat my restricted & unrestricted and got 98% in both (100% in practicals) - 1 Q wrong in each !!! Still planning on using the site just to keep in practice - I've got a fair amount of experience from the past, but there were things that were new to me. Best wishes and keep up the good work. Andrew R
Just wanted to let you know that I passed both exams with flying colours. I would have to say that your practice exams are definitely worth the cost. Thank you.

I've completed my non-restricted test with a final mark of 96%. Thanks for the online data base. It helped alot. Brian
Thought I should tell you. I saw your site when I was looking for info on firearms licencing. I did a couple of your sample tests and thought I had it all under control, and booked my test. As the date got closer I figured I should do some studying and purchased your tests. Was I surprised, I didn't know near as much as I thought I did. But through the help of you tests, I had the confidence I needed. I passed both non-restricted, and restricted challenge tests with 90%, 92% written and 100% and 98% practical. The in-depth content and variety of questions was incredible. Probably the best money I've spent in a long time. Ian B
I just wanted to say thanks. I passed the CFSC and CRFSC with flying colors. GunExams.com was a huge asset. If I hear of anyone challenging the tests or taking the course, I will refer them to this site. Kelly W
Thank you very much for your very helpful site and training course. I was very successful today passing the exam on restricted and non-restricted firearms. Best regards, Michael Z

I have recommended your website to a number of my friends who are in the process of study for their PAL exam. Thanks again!!! John
I can't tell you how much I LOVE this site. I'm prepping for my exams next month and this is absolutely the best way to train. It immediately showed me my weak areas, and now I can give extra attention to those. PLUS, I have to say, the tests are actually fun to take. Well done!
I opted to write the challenge exams instead of taking the courses. Even after studying the manuals, I failed both sets of practice exams. I then ordered and completed both sets of questions. Thanks to GunExams, I completed both sets of examinations yesterday with 98 and 98 on the non-restricted and 100 and 96 on the restricted and prohibited exams. Don - Feel free to use this testimonial if you want. I just wanted to thank you for making these questions available. | hobby |

The next four steps in order:
1. hit Ctrl +c to copy the selection into the clipboard
2. hit Ctrl +Shift +i to invert the selection
3. Apply a layer mask to the background layer to mask out the face (layer mask icon is at the bottom of the layers palette).
4. Create a new layer above the background layer, name it face and hit Ctrl +V to copy the face into the face layer.
Then you’ll probably have to reposition the face and line it up correctly. If all goes well your picture should look exactly like the original photo except you have an additional layer of just the face.
With the face layer selected hit Shift +Ctrl +U to desaturate.
Now you can bring in the dried mud texture. Open the texture in Photoshop and drag it into your face document (it should be on top of all other layers). If your using the texture I supplied, its pretty big so you have to size it down. Temporarily lower the opacity of the mud texture so you can see what area of the mud you want over the face then hit Ctrl +T to bring up the transform tool, Scale an position the dried mud where you want it.
When you get it where you want, hit enter to apply and raise the opacity of the dried mud back up to 100%.
With the mud layer selected in the layers palette, Ctrl +click the “thumbnail” of the face layer in the layers palette to create a selection. Apply a layer mask to the mud layer by clicking on the icon an the bottom of the layer palette and set the blend mode to Color Burn.
Select the “layer mask Thumbnail” of the dried mud layer and take the blur tool from the tools palette and soften the edges a little around the face. Then take the Sponge tool and paint/scrub on the neck to bring in a little texture.
Select the Face layer and take the burn tool from the tools palette and darken a little around the Eye and the corner of the mouth.
Then select the background layer and use the burn tool again to darken the hair and neck area ( use a soft brush at about 80px.
Next, Select the “Layer mask Thumbnail” of the dried mud layer. Select the paint brush and make sure your forground is set to black and paint around the pupil and iris to reveal the original eye. You can easily give the eye some color by creating a colored circle around the iris and changing the blend mode to overlay. I like the darkish gray look so I won’t do that in this tutorial.
In this last step we’ll add just a touch of the levels adjustment to make the face just a little more erie looking. Select the face layer and go to Image>Adjustments>levels and just move the black and gray values slightly or just play around with the values to get it how you want. Here’s what I used.
In an optional step, add another layer above the rest, set the forground color to red and background to black and fill it with the clouds filter filter>render>clouds and then mask it to the shape of the face the same way did the Dried Mud layer, set the blend mode to overlay and opacity to about 50%.
Here’s my Final: | hobby |

Some may remember the uber-popular Tamagotchi’s. If you didn’t have them there was at least someone you know who had them and treated them like real pets. But that craze started in the ’90s and the digital version of a pet changed and evolved a lot since then. Now we have a variety of digital pets. Especially in the NFT industry. There are apes, dogs, bears, crocodiles, and a whole lot of other creatures in the NFT marketplace. Now we have “Dragonz”
What are Dragonz from Clash of Dragonz?
These “Dragonz” are dragon-like NFT creatures that are based on the Ethereum Blockchain and evolve from an egg that will be uniquely generated from over 600 hand-drawn traits and can be used to play in the metaverse, trade on OPenSea, and earn royalties.
What makes Clash of Dragonz so special?
The NFT project is limited to 7777 unique “Dragonz” characters that can be collected, and each one is distinctively designed with over 600 different features. There are 5 different “Dragonz” families and each family has its own strengths and weaknesses which are key elements for the Play-to-Earn game. Then there are 12 iconic “Dragonz” that are iconic and don’t belong to any family but have special powers that can be used to play in the game. They also have royalties of 5% that you can earn.
How to buy “Dragonz” from Clash of Dragonz?
If you want to have your own “Dragonz” you have to mint them and it will start as an EGG that will evolve into your own unique Dragonz. If you want to buy or trade already minted “Dragonz” you can do so on OpenSea. Keep in mind, since they are based on the Ethereum Blockchain you need to have Ethereum in your wallet to buy them. You can then place a bid or buy them for a fixed price. OpenSea has a detailed guide on how to buy NFTs here https://support.opensea.io/hc/en-us/sections/1500000462261-Buying
So should you buy “Clash of Dragonz” ?
As always we recommend to DYOR (Do your own research) and educating yourself before purchasing an NFT. There is always the risk of losing the money that you’ve put in. But…
If you want to have your own “Dragonz” as your pet that evolves from an egg and view it as a game it might be something worth considering. We surely will keep an eye open on how they evolve over time.

awesome smiling ghost bath bomb mold!
This mold is easier on your hands, and easier to use than a three piece mold!
This style of mold does not require a top and bottom piece. It produces a
bath bomb with a beautiful decoration on one side, while the other side is
NOT for use in bath bomb presses - bath bombs are made by filling the mold,
compressing it by hand, and trimming off the excess bath bomb mix.
Printed with PLA plastic so please wash in cold water only, and do not soak as
they can retain water.
Dimensions of finished bath bomb: approximately 3.75 x 2 x 1 inches. The
weight of your finished bath bomb will vary based on your bath bomb recipe and
how firmly you pack the mold.
These molds are a single piece of 3D printed plastic and do not contain a bath
bomb ring, or separate top and bottom pieces.
Colors vary based upon our filament supply and our choosing, though we
generally use black.
Bath bombs are not included.
To use, add a small amount of your bath bomb mix to the bottom, and press it
into the design, especially the edges on the bottom. Continue to fill while
compacting the mix with your fingers, until it is overfilled. Compress the mix
further using your palm.
Trim the excess compressed mix using a spatula or other flat but rigid
instrument, then hit the edge of the mold with the mix side down against a
surface. If the bomb does not slide out easily, gently tap the sides to break
the vacuum and it should slide right out. | hobby |

Due to the popularity of Lee & Kathy’s pottery courses, in addition to our normal courses, we are also now offering week courses on:
A Beginners’ Guide to Pottery Throwing
This will cover predominantly throwing (bowls, cylinders, enclosed shapes) but also turning, decorating and applying handles/lids, The throwing techniques include centreing, opening up and pulling up. The emphasis is on learning rather than creating lots of finished pots.
It is suitable for beginners who have a keen interest and those who’ve done a little in the past but not had time to focus or practice sufficiently to acquire confidence/expertise.
Throwing can be tiring and requires good body mobility/flexibility to operate the wheel.
If you are not sure if a 5 day course is suitable for you, you may prefer to attend a half day course with me first and/or email me with any questions.
The format will be 5 mornings of tuition & practice from 9:30 till 1pm Monday to Friday. The tutors Lee & Kathy have, between them, over 50 years of production craft pottery throwing and teaching – see some recent reviews & videos of our throwing techniques), The number of attendees will be kept very small to ensure plenty of time for individual tuition.
See what previous students have said:
Have just completed a five day pottery course with Lee and his lovely mum; a fabulous experience. Lee shared his knowledge in a very professional way whilst managing to add a lot of humour into the mix . Truly inspirational! Can’t wait to collect my pots .
As a complete beginner in throwing I had no idea what to expect or how much I would learn. It was a great experience. Lee and his mum Kathy are so welcoming and the experience and skill level they have as potters between them is incredible. Lee keeps the class to small numbers which means he is able to teach on a very one to one basis and see where you need help to progress forward. His skills and patience are amazing. It was amazing how quickly we picked up new techniques and by the end of the week were all producing pots of different types. Everyone on the course was super friendly, I cannot recommend this course enough or even a visit to the pottery and browse in the shop. I can’t wait to return .
We have just returned from a five day pottery throwing course with Lee, it was really good, informative and great fun too. Lee is a great teacher and we have learnt significantly from his efforts.
It’s been a week since we have returned from the week’s course and we are still telling our friends and family how great it was. You have tremendous skill and patience and are an excellent tutor. We found it challenging, interesting and fun.
My partner and I have just finished a week’s course at the pottery. Whilst we are not absolute beginners having attended a couple of courses elsewhere, Lee’s approach to teaching has been a revelation. Both Lee and his mother Cathy were very welcoming and set us at ease straightaway. By the end of the week we now have the confidence to take our new hobby to the next step…buy a wheel and kiln! We can’t wait to pick up our finished pots. If you want to try your hand at throwing pots their courses are highly recommended!
Long experience has taught us that learning to throw for 5 full days rather than 5 half days is too exhausting for most so we hope you’ll be pleased to hear that the pottery is located in beautiful countryside and in between the market towns of Kirkby Lonsdale, Hawes & Settle.
The cost is £285 and this also includes :
– 4 to 6 pots (dependent on weight) to be glazed & fired after the course – can be collected at a later date (or packed & posted for an additional charge).
– morning tea/coffee & biscuits
There is self-catering holiday cottage accommodation available adjacent to the pottery, alternatively there is a variety of cottages and B&Bs in the village of Ingleton 4 miles away including Acorn Cottage (managed by Lee’s wife).
Email or ring us with any questions. A £50 deposit is required to reserve your place. (The balance is due 6 weeks before the course start date.)
Courses in 2024 will be £300 per person.

This course is only available to people who have some experience of throwing and preferably from one of my beginners’ courses. Email me if you are not sure if it is for you. It will be same cost and format as the 5 Day Beginners Course. NB some people instead choose to repeat the 5 Day Beginners Course to consolidate what they learnt before embarking on the Follow-on one.
Please email me if you wish to be added to the future notification/cancellation list and, if if there is enough demand, we might organise another one.
In the event of cancellation less than 6 weeks prior to the course, the full balance remains payable. We will make every attempt to re-book the course. If successful, all monies (except the deposit) will be refunded.
In the event of cancellation more than 6 weeks prior to the course, we will happily try to fit you on a different future course. If this is not convenient, no further payment is due but the deposit will be forfeited. | hobby |

The Society was formed in 1996 to record, investigate and promote an awareness of Bilton's heritage and future, to unravel the secrets of Bilton’s past, its people, buildings, railways industry, the royal hunting park and a lost way of life. The Society has successfully completed three Community Archaeology Projects supported by grants from the Local Heritage Initiative.
We publish a regular newsletter and organise a programme of talks and slide shows during the winter months.
The Society has a Study Group which is involved in local history research. The Group meets at the Bilton Community Centre, Bilton Lane, Harrogate on alternate Tuesday mornings (except August) from 9:30 am to 12 noon.
Although we already have a core team we welcome new volunteers to join us. We also want to make contact with anyone who has something interesting to say about the area, life here, how it has changed, the personalities etc. No research or academic experience is necessary, the existing team started out as complete novices and has picked up the necessary new skills and expertise working on the previous projects.
If you are interested and would like to learn more about the history of Bilton please contact us or come along to the study group. See Study Group for the dates, or visit us at Bilton and Woodfield Community Library, Woodfield Road, HG1 4HZ on the third Thursday of the month from 2pm to 4 pm, for the Historical Society drop in session.

This is a proprietary Institution owned and managed by Ordnance Services Officers Welfare Society (OSOWS) and hence the name Ordnance Club. Consequent to the formation of Board of Ordnance on 08 April 1775, a recreational centre was created in the Hastings area in Kolkata, which was managed by Ordnance Officers. This was later established as a Club in 1907, with the objective of enhancing espirit-de-corps among AOC officers and promotes sports and cultural activities. The Club Rules were approved by the Government in 1927.
When the Club was first constituted, the members were mostly British officers, British Warrant Officers and Indian Army Officers. A few elite civilian officers and officers of DGOF were also permitted to be members of the Club. After 1947, the Club opened its membership to other civilians of various social strata on a restricted scale. All serving and retired officers of Army Ordnance Corps are Life Members of this Club. In addition, Defence Service and senior Central and State Govt Officers in Kolkata are also granted station and tenure based Service membership. Ordnance Club is predominantly a Sports Club with facilities for Badminton, Billiards, Snooker, Squash, Tennis, Swimming, Table Tennis, Cards and Gym with excellent training facilities and infrastructure. The Club regularly conducts various State Ranking tournaments besides organising various cultural and entertainment programmes and events for the members.
Keeping pace with changing times, Ordnance Club braced modernity however retaining the old charm in more ways than one. The Main building, wooden floored ball room, lush green lawn and the entire establishment amply reflects the rich Army Club Heritage and legacy with the emphasis on discipline, sports and quality entertainment.
How to Reach Ordnance Club is an important landmark in Hastings, Kolkata-700022, located on the Commissariat Road in close proximity to the illustrious Princep Ghat and Fort William area. Being centrally located, taxis are readily available from all parts of the city. Distance from Netaji Subash Chandra Bose International Airport is 30 Kms and the driving time is approximately 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the traffic condition. The distance from Howrah Railway Station is 6 Kms and from Sealdah Railway Station, it is 8 Kms. The club is just 3 km from the busy Park Street and walking distance from Strand Road, which affords 24x7 connectivity by Bus, local trains and taxis. Being close to Babu Ghat, Ferry across Hoogly and Interstate Private Bus services are also available. | hobby |

Wednesday, May 20, 2009
Michelle Obama tapped into a green zeitgeist by planting the White House's organic, edible garden. All around the nation, locovores and plant lovers are turning their backyards (and even their front lawns) into fruit and vegetable producing plots. To celebrate spring, we revisited The Secret Garden. In Agnieszka Holland's beautiful 1993 adaptation of Francis Hodgson Burnett's classic book, Mary is shipped off to a lonely mansion on the English moor to be raised by her uncle. There, Mary discovers two secrets: a hidden garden, overgrown with weeds, and her sickly cousin Colin, locked away in a secret part of the vast estate. Mary instinctively knows that both her cousin and the garden need sunlight and love to return to health. We needed a restorative dose of nature, so we stole the kids away to our favorite public garden, and were happy to discover a hidden Secret Garden (inspired by the novel) and even tumbled upon an edible plant area called Nature's Table Garden. Teeming with new lettuce and tomato plants, this fragrant plot inspired us to stop by a nursery to pick up tomatoes, lettuces and herbs for our own edible garden. Summer will truly have arrived when we enjoy that first tomato salad! | hobby |

Blending is the art of mixing different colors (whether still similar in hue or on completely opposite sides of the color wheel) to create a gradient of color, not a muddying mess that obliterates the vibrancy and trueness of the individual colors used to create a particular look.
Why bother? Using a single wash of color can be perfect or even ideal for some situations, like running out the door to make a few errands or for a simple workday, but in general, people who utilize makeup want to use more than one color, and of course, there are several good reasons behind this. Using multiple colors creates a sense of depth and dimension to the eyes, especially when used correctly. A darker color in the crease gives the appearance of a deeper, more pronounced crease; just as darkening the outer portion of the lid often defines the natural eye shape. By contrasting this dark shadow with a lighter color, the artist will open up their eyes while still allowing for an emphasis on accenting the shape of their eyes.
What do I need? I always find that telling makeup beginners that the easiest place to begin learning how to blend and understanding what exactly you are attempting to accomplish is to use similar colors. Using two drastically different colors is not nearly as easy as taking a dark brown and a medium brown or even a dark olive green and a lighter green. I also recommend choosing browns to start with, because you simply cannot muddy up browns, as they are already brown! The texture of the shadows and the type of base you choose can also simplify or complicate the process. Smoother textures will be easier to blend compared to chalky or matte ones. By MAC, some of the easiest shadows to work with are the ones with the best color payoff, and include many of the veluxe and veluxe pearl shadows. Lustre finishes are less color payoff as a whole and tend to be more prone to flake because of the chunkier texture of the shadow itself. Shadows like Antiqued or Woodwinked are definitely recommended. A way you can tell if a particular shadow will work is to swatch both on the back of your hand and test-run it. Fingers are great to blend with, but we will get into why you should not use them for your eyes shortly. Putting the shadow on the back of your hand and seeing how easily the two colors blend together will be a good indicator of how well they will blend on your eyes with a brush. Brushes are absolutely essential to applying eye makeup, and I cannot stress the importance of using brushes over fingers or sponge-tip applicators. Wrinkles are caused by pulling and stressing the skin out excessively, including merely pressure applied to the skin. As we get older, our skin loses elasticity, and in order to help you reduce your costs of wrinkle creams in the next ten, twenty, thirty years… brushes help correct some of the mistakes finger usage can make. Brushes will put less pressure on your eyelids allowing for less pulling or stretching of the sensitive skin there. Sponge-tip applicators are better than fingers, but not nearly as beneficial as brushes can be. One of the worst parts of sponge applicators is that they waste a lot of product, even for face makeup. They complicate the blending process because of how much excess shadow is left on the sponge, so you generally have to go through several in order to use a cleaner slate each time. Brushes pick up less color during each swipe, and this allows for better precision to determine color strength and vibrancy, but also allow you to easily switch between a light pink color and a dark blue color. Sponge-tip applicators also are much less forgiving of any mistakes you might make, because of that high color amount they pick up. Blending is best accomplished by a brush because the bristles allow colors to be subtly entwined and meshed together. I will admit that sponge-tip applicators may be able to blend shadows together, but ultimately do not find that they are the best method to go about blending successfully, especially over the long-haul.
When choosing a brush to apply eyeshadow and blend the colors together, there is definitely a wide, and most overwhelming, variety of brushes to choose from. Some users prefer to have separate brushes for the initial shadow application and the actual blending process. Either is acceptable, but it is not impossible to have an all-in-one eye brush. It is important not to use a brush that is firm or stiff, because you want the bristles to have a bit of fluffiness to allow you to sweep easily horizontally, vertically, and angularly. For instance, I find that MAC’s 252 brush is too flat and firm to do much more than apply shadow. You want a brush more like MAC’s 239, which has a bit of fluffiness, but not excessively so like the 222. The shape of the brush should be dome-like or slightly angular, but I would suggest the dome shape as being the most versatile. It is also important to choose a brush with soft bristles, and softness is not something solely reserved for high-end or more expensive makeup brushes. Sonia Kashuk makes more affordable brushes and can be found at Target stores, and their softness is not compromised by their price. Even some craftstore paintbrushes work wonderfully in the absence of cosmetic brushes! You can see what brushes I have purchased and pictures of what a good blending brush would look like by referring to my brush post.
How can I do it? Many believe that blending is one of the more difficult techniques to master, but it is merely something that takes a degree of precision and the willingness to practice if it does not just come naturally or easily to the person. I admit that it is not always easily accomplished when working with certain colors or textures. Each makeup application allows me to practice my blending or fine-tune it, because blending is really an on-going technique. Tutorials are an excellent way to understand the basics and mechanisms behind blending, but practice truly makes perfect in this case.
You begin blending by first applying two colors or more on your eyelid. There are two methods to go about doing this: 1) you can apply each color and blend afterwards, or 2) you can apply one and then blend as you apply the second one. I would suggest following the first if you really do not know where to start, because it is a lot easier to understand the process with this method. With method one, after you have applied the two colors to your lid, you will want to take your brush and hold it just at the end of the lightest color so that your bristles are vertical to your eyelid. Generally speaking, it is easiest to blend by pulling the lightest color into the darker one. With your brush positioned correctly, you want to pull the brush gently from the edge of the lightest that meets the darker color and pull towards the darker one. You are taking the lighter color and lightening the darker color faintly, which will create a sort of gradient effect so colors gradually fade into other colors, instead of splotches or blocks of color where it is clear where each one begins/ends. You do not have to drag the lightest color all the way to the end of the darker one; the point is merely to soften the edge between them so that the color on your lid appears fluid, while still maintaining distinct colors. The second method still follows the same technique as the first one; the only difference is perhaps the application follows darkest to lightest, allowing the lightest always to be overlaid on the darkest.
The art of blending is based on a very simple technique, but it just takes familiarity with it in order to be comfortable practicing it. One trick to aid in application is to use an intermediary color between two colors. For example, if you were to blend red and yellow together, you would likely get, at the very least, a tinge of orange; if you have an orange shadow, you can place a touch of it between the two and it will make blending even easier. Colors that are drastically different need to be handled very carefully, and it is a good idea not to rush through. Blending light green and a dark, hot pink requires a bit of finesse. The blending has to be incredibly subtle because these two colors do not naturally fade into each other, and infact, may be one of the tougher combinations to blend together without muddying them up. To deal with this, it is best to bring just a hint of the green into the pink, and repeat the motions as necessary. It will be problematic if you assume you will get a perfect gradient with just these two colors; it is best to merely soften the edge between the two colors, but you are unlikely to find it looks as blended as a look that merely consists of light green and dark green. Also realize that between green and pink, there are several colors inbetween, and your lid does not have the space to bring out all of them easily, either.
If you decide to use a second brush for blending purposes, the technique is still the same, but the brush you use will most likely be fairly fluffy in nature. You will still place your brush similarly and be gently pulling the colors together, meshing them to create a form of a gradient. Fluffier brushes tend to pick up less color so they are more forgiving; one wrong tap or stroke will not necessarily ruin your makeup. For this reason, it might be helpful for those struggling to successfully blend.
What else? Blending is merely pulling one color into and over another, almost like a venn diagram has two individual circles that share an overlapping section in the middle. You can facilitate blending by choosing a good eyeshadow base, like Urban Decay Primer Potion, MAC’s Prep ‘n Prime Eye, or L’Oreal Decrease; these not only allow your eyeshadow to have staying power and prevent the color from fading, falling off, or creasing, but they will help make blending all that easier. It is important to note that expensive brushes, eyeshadows, or other tools are not essential or even necessary to blend well. It is more about the quality of the product than the price; if the drugstore variety works well, it is not worse than an equivalent higher-end brand. I must stress the significance of taking your time and not rushing through the process if you are not comfortable with it. Use what makes you comfortable, and do not be afraid to spend an hour in front of the mirror ensuring you are doing a good job in perfecting your look. Not everyone can do perfect makeup in twenty minutes, and even those who are able, were not so when they first began, either. Have fun with it; spend one night mixing your two favorite colors together and see what you come up with. Experiment, test out new ideas, and be creative as you learn what works, what does not, and how you can improve upon your skills as a makeup artist. | hobby |

My name is Ana, a Brazilian who currently lives in Germany. I am an agronomist, a student, and an enthusiastic runner. I love to drink coffee, and I am always excited to travel to see more of the world, to experience other cultures and learn from people. However, above all, my mind and heart are all about food – the flavors, tastes, textures, formats, and colors. Ah, the colors 🙂
The Vegan and Colors is a journey that I embarked upon to broaden my understanding on how to live a healthier life, and keep a strong and fit body. I also have a deep desire to inspire others to eat more colorful and nutrient-dense meals. I chose to cook without using any animal product, which means only vegan recipes are shared here. That decision is part of a personal quest on how to be part of the efforts to mitigate the damage that has been caused to our forests, landscapes, ocean, rivers, wildlife, indigenous peoples, etc. I consider eating less animal products a valid and important path.
The answers added to my understanding are blended, mixed, cut, baked, boiled, chopped, and cooked in my kitchen. Yes, you heard it right! In my tiny and humble kitchen. I do belive that cooking should be fun, quick and part of everyone’s life, and as once said by the famous food activist and writer Michael Pollan, “Cooking can change your life”. I’m obsessed with colorful, natural and whole foods. So, all of the recipes of the Vegan and Colors are packed with colors.

I draw influences (:D) from ultra-realism portrait art, modern tattoo art, and the comic book artists of my youth that kept me with a pencil in my hand.

My stay is really tight and makes my waist look very small. Third, I slip my fabric shoes with buckles on. Fourth, I put my needlework pocket on underneath my layers of clothes that I will soon put on. After that, I slide my hoop petticoat onto my hips so they look big. Sixth, I put my under petticoat on over my hoop petticoat. Then, I put on my mob cap, silk petticoat, stomacher, neck kerchief, and finally, my gown. To finish it off, I put my apron on. | hobby |

I was fed up of chipped nails using standard polish and found it a pain booking in and traveling to a salon every couple of weeks.
I wouldn’t say I was amazing at painting nails but I do get by and after all practice makes perfect.
In terms of gels I watched a few YouTube tutorials before taking the plunge, and quickly decided it’s worth a go.
I decided to go for the Red Carpet Manicure set. It seemed great value and had easy to follow instructions.
You start with a prep on the nails, then use the structure, coloured plush (two coats), followed by the brilliance for the top coat. Thin coats gives the best finish, don’t be tempted to do thick coats thinking it will be faster or give you a better look. It doesn’t, if anything it makes it more likely not to last. Don’t forget to fold you nails under the UV light between each coat and make sure you leave it the the full time to cure properly.
I like to do mine on a Sunday night in front of the tv, I use a laptop knee pad to make it easier and to have a solid surface to work on.

All over my house you’ll find markers, crayons, pencils, glue, scissors, you name it, there’s always something going on and my refrigerator is always covered in her latest creations. And every time we go shopping, she needs new art and craft supplies – EVERY TIME! *sigh* However, while’s great at creating things – jewelry, pot pads, bookmarks, Christmas ornaments, etc, she doesn’t draw so well – even though, bless her heart, she really tries.
When I heard about Everything Butt Art at the Zoo, I knew she’d love it. Everything Butt Art is a drawing series by Brian Snyder and Alexis Moniello that provides step by step drawing activities. What’s the catch? Every drawing starts with their basic “butt” shape (see below).
Everything Butt Art at the Zoo teaches everything from monkeys, snakes, and alligators to zebras and giraffes. Mixed in with the step-by-step instructions are a few fun activities such as a crossword, maze, and word search.
There is also an iPad app for Everything Butt Art:
In the iPad app all the things kids love about the book are interactive in a new way. The book has audio. Drawings can be saved and decorated with stamps. Butt Hunt becomes a game.
We don’t have have an iPad, but this is one of those apps that makes me wish we did.
Children can also submit their artwork via the iPad app, their Facebook wall or email to be displayed in their online gallery. Now what kid would not like to show off their drawings online? (Note: There’s also the option of a private gallery for those that are more concerned about privacy.) | hobby |

Welcome to the captivating world of Weberocereus, a genus of cacti known for their unique and spectacular beauty. These extraordinary plants are favored by cacti enthusiasts and collectors alike for their stunning flowers and impressive growth habits. Weberocereus stands out among other cacti due to its elongated columnar stems and large nocturnal blooms, which add an enchanting touch to any garden or indoor space.
2. The History and Origins of Weberocereus
The history of Weberocereus dates back many years, with its origins rooted in the tropical regions of Central and South America. This genus belongs to the Cactaceae family, which is known for its diverse range of cacti species. Weberocereus has evolved to thrive in the rocky and arid landscapes of its native regions, developing unique adaptations to survive in harsh conditions.
Over time, this cactus has gained popularity among cactus enthusiasts worldwide, leading to its cultivation in various parts of the world. The captivating allure and impressive growth patterns have made it a favorite among collectors and gardeners seeking to add a touch of exotic beauty to their spaces.
3. Exploring the Different Species and Varieties of Weberocereus
Within the genus Weberocereus, there are several species and varieties, each with its distinctive features and characteristics. Let’s explore some of the most notable varieties:
- Weberocereus tunilla: This species is known for its slender stems with numerous spines and beautiful white or yellow flowers. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires bright, indirect sunlight.
- Weberocereus glaber: Also known as “Little Tiger,” this variety stands out for its intriguing patterns on its stem, resembling the stripes of a tiger. It produces vibrant pink flowers that bloom at night.
- Weberocereus frohningiorum: With its long, climbing stems that can reach impressive lengths, this species is perfect for those seeking a dramatic display. Its flowers are large and white, blooming at night with a pleasing fragrance.
- Weberocereus tonduzii: This species is characterized by its thick, columnar stems and spines that give it a striking appearance. It produces elegant white flowers that open at night and emit a pleasant fragrance.
These are just a few examples of the diverse range of this cactus species and varieties available to cactus enthusiasts. Each plant brings its unique beauty and charm to the world of cacti.
Growing Weberocereus: Tips and Techniques
1. Choosing the Right Location for Your Weberocereus
When it comes to growing Weberocereus, selecting the perfect location is crucial for its health and optimal growth. These cacti thrive in areas with plenty of sunlight, preferably in a location where they can receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. It is essential to choose a spot that offers protection from strong winds, as excessive exposure can damage their delicate stems.
In terms of temperature, this cactus enjoys a warm and tropical climate. It is best to keep them in an environment where the temperature remains between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C) throughout the year. Avoid exposing them to temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as this can impede their growth and potentially cause damage.
2. Understanding the Ideal Soil and Watering Conditions
Weberocereus thrives in well-draining soil that mimics its native habitat. A mixture of sandy soil and organic matter, such as compost or peat moss, provides the ideal growing medium for these cacti. The sandy soil allows for adequate drainage, preventing waterlogged roots, while the organic matter helps retain moisture and provides essential nutrients.
When it comes to watering, it is crucial to strike a balance. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues, while underwatering can cause the plant to become dehydrated. During the active growing season, which is typically from spring to fall, water your Weberocereus deeply but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings, ensuring that excess water drains out of the pot or soil.
1. What distinguishes Weberocereus in the cacti realm?

3. Are there multiple types within this genus?
Answer: Absolutely. The genus comprises several distinct species and varieties, with Weberocereus tunilla, Weberocereus glaber, Weberocereus nudatus, and Weberocereus tonduzii being some notable members.
4. Can you describe the appearance of Weberocereus tunilla?
Answer: This particular type showcases slender stems adorned with numerous spines and bears either white or yellow flowers. Bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil best suit its growth.
5. What’s special about Weberocereus glaber?
Answer: Often referred to as “Little Tiger,” it captivates with stem patterns reminiscent of tiger stripes and is recognized for its vibrant pink, nocturnal blooms.
6. Why is Weberocereus nudatus known for its dramatic presence?
Answer: With its long climbing stems that can span impressive lengths and large, fragrant white flowers that open at night, it’s a standout in any collection.
7. Could you give insights into Weberocereus tonduzii?
Answer: This species displays thick, columnar stems punctuated with spines, offering a robust appearance. It’s also known for its elegant nocturnal blooms that radiate a soothing fragrance.
8. Any advice for cultivating these plants?
Answer: When growing them, it’s essential to select a sunny spot shielded from strong gusts. These plants favor well-draining soil and benefit from a balanced watering regimen, allowing the soil to dry a bit between sessions. | hobby |

Sized right for fun.
Maybe specialization is fine if you’re talking about insects. But in the world of a great all-around sport ATV, versatility is the key to having a good time. You want a machine that can fit a wide range of riders, abilities and terrains. And that ATV is the Honda TRX250X.
There’s a reason this is one of our most popular sport ATVs. A whole bunch of reasons, actually. Beginners like the light handling, and especially appreciate the TRX250X’s broad, four-stroke powerband—a trait that’s made Honda engines famous for decades. Lots of riders enjoy the exclusive Honda SportClutch™. It’s a unique feature that gives you all the control of a manual shift and clutch, but that also eliminates the chance of shift-induced stalling. Riders with more experience like the long-travel suspension and athletic performance on the trail. And just about everyone appreciates the low-maintenance features like the shaft final drive and famous Honda reliability.
Light enough for smaller adults, big enough for full-sized riders, and with a powerband not easily outgrown, the TRX250X is the ATV you can purchase once and ride just about forever. And that’s exactly what you’d expect when you choose a Honda.
Efficient Engine Layout: Honda pioneered the concept of mounting our ATV engines front-to-back in the chassis. That results in a smoother, more efficient powertrain, and more power getting to the rear wheels.
No-Stall Shifting: Honda’s exclusive SportClutch is only available on the TRX250X, and it’s a great feature. New riders get to learn clutch control without worrying about stalling, while experienced riders get all the control and freedom to shift the way they normally would.
Fresh Styling: The TRX250X even gives you your choice of distinct styles. A white version featuring new silver aluminum wheels is really unique in our ATV lineup. And there’s also a special edition red version with black wheels, red hubs and springs.
- Rugged, reliable 229cc OHV engine: The TRX250X’s lightweight OHV air-cooled 229cc engine is longitudinally mounted, allowing direct driveshaft alignment to rear wheels for more efficient power transfer. The two-valve cylinder head design features performance-optimized valve timing, a 31.5mm-diameter intake valve and a 27mm-diameter exhaust valve contribute to the engine’s broad, usable powerband.
- Rubber-Mounted Engine: A rubber-mounted engine reduces vibration. This helps make parts last longer, and cuts down on rider fatigue as well.
- Shaft Final Drive: Honda’s fully sealed rear driveshaft is super-strong and virtually maintenance free. The driveshaft sits in-line with the engine’s crankshaft for maximum driveline efficiency.
- Independent Front Suspension: Independent double-wishbone front suspension provides an exceptional 5.9 inches of travel and a smooth ride over rough terrain.
- Lightweight Aluminum Wheels: Lightweight aluminum wheels reduce unsprung weight for superior handling.
- Exclusive Honda SportClutch™: The handlebar-mounted Honda SportClutch enables the rider to experience manual clutch actuation with the advantage of no stalling when coming to a stop. This revolutionary feature allows beginning or novice riders to learn clutch engagement points, while experienced riders enjoy the full performance of a conventional manual clutch.
- Reverse: The TRX250X’s easy to use reverse makes unloading or maneuvering out of tight trail conditions easier.
- Electric Starter: The effortless electric starter makes getting the engine started easy, even when the engine is cold.
- Keyed ignition: Keyed ignition switch for added security. The switch also lets you control who goes riding and when.
- Fresh styling: With a TRX250X, you get your choice of distinct color styles. A white version featuring silver aluminum wheels is really unique in our ATV lineup. And there’s even a special edition red version with race-inspired graphics as wells as red hubs and springs. Black aluminum wheels too.

Following in and establishing an outdoor guide business requires a strong foundation of outdoor experience, bolstered with professional licensure and relationships with other outdoor recreation businesses, says Graydon Stevens, executive director of Vermont Outdoor Guide Association.
Success as a guide starts with a genuine love for the outdoors, says Travis Dezotell, who owns Island Pond-based Gibbs Guides.
“There’s no replacement for the experience side of it.” Guides spend as much effort managing the excursion, including ensuring safe use of gear and making quick decisions based on the weather, as they do entertaining their clients.
“You have to constantly be on the lookout. You can’t fake it,” Dezotell said.
Capt. Matthew Trombley, owner of 3rd Alarm Charters, a fishing guiding service based in Rutland County and serving the Killington and Okemo areas, grew up spending almost all his time outdoors and agrees – experience and passion for the outdoors is a must, because it makes inspiring others easy.
Trombley pursued professional licensure and is now a Masters Captain. His company owns and operates three boats, and he is president of the board of Vermont Outdoor Guide Association.
Career paths centered around recreation provide solid footing for a guiding business, Stevens says.
Dezotell started his outdoor guide career as director of a parks and recreation department in Vermont. In his spare time, he wrote and published a guidebook about hiking and snowshoeing, and things took off from there.
“All of a sudden, I started getting more phone calls from people asking to go on hikes and other experiences like that. More than I was selling books, people really wanted to go on hikes.” Quimby Country, an outdoor retreat in the Northeast Kingdom, saw Dezotell’s blog posts and hired him to be the outdoor recreation specialist.
“My business springboarded off of that start in the industry,” he said.
Dezotell still works with clients at Quimby Country, an outdoor retreat in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom, but has since gone on to own and manage Gibbs Guides full-time.
He says besides building a solid base of outdoor experience, creativity and a willingness to go off the beaten path – both literally and metaphorically as guides establish their businesses – are key.
Vermont’s business landscape, he says, provides opportunities for people to make a living if they’re willing to work hard and look for unexpected opportunities.
Social media can be a cost-effective way to scale an outdoor guide business. Blogging, sharing outdoor tips, and posting high-quality images inspires people and helps build a client base.
Stevens says Vermont’s geographic diversity means there’s many different opportunities for guides to find footholds in the state’s business community.
Vermont’s guides offer such diverse experiences as fishing, snowshoeing, hiking, camping, canoeing, ice climbing, SCUBA diving, sky diving, and dog sledding.
“Guide services operate year-round, matching our four seasons,” said Stevens.
Spring in Vermont makes for excellent fishing, road bike touring, and nature tours. In early summer, hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, horseback riding and ATV tours are all great options into fall, when many people visit to take in Vermont’s colorful foliage. In winter, dog sledding, ice fishing, ice climbing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, back country skiing, and more opportunities await.
Many guides partner with local lodging properties and outdoor equipment suppliers to provide a more in-depth experience for their clients and to help build their businesses, he said.
Stevens’ biggest tips for those looking to establish a guiding business in Vermont include looking for professional certifications and licensure, as well as getting a foot in the door in the industry.
“Get a job with a guide service or outfitter to start out,” he said. “Getting the appropriate certifications for your activity is important and will help you to land a job. Running a guide service involves much more than just being skilled in one or more activities. You will need to understand risk management, rules regarding commercial access to public and private lands and waterways, knowledge of State laws, customer service, marketing and more.” | hobby |

Student Linux User Group (SLUG): Anything and everything Linux! Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, all are welcome. SLUG is always talking about something nerdy and it’s usually a lot of fun. This year SLUG hopes to have a couple of Linux Workshops to introduce Linux to other students and hopefully get them hooked. SLUG also runs most of the ACM servers and has many connections into the CECS department servers.
Cyber Defense: Information Security, Network Security, Sys-admin, and a whole host of other topics are discussed here. This is a great opportunity to learn a lot of different skills that are very valuable in today’s world. It’s a great club to expand your skills, do a little hacking, and defend yourself. The group also provides a Cyber Defense competition for a Business School class as their final. The end goal of the club is to compete in the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition and bring home the National trophy. The competition is late in the Spring semester with many fun mini-competitions along the way. The group went to Regionals just a few months ago and placed 5th!
Game Development: Learn to make some games! This is a fun club to get started in game programming. If you’ve always wanted to try it, but never knew where to start, you’ll fit in perfectly here. This club has always struggled to maintain membership, but lets make this year different! Maybe you’ll make the next Minecraft (or whatever game is popular these days among you youngin’s.)
Hackers: You probably think that we are the people you don’t want touching your computers or networks. But really we’re the kinds of people that made your computers and networks possible. From hardware to software and everything in between, we take bits from here and there and put them together to make the greatest of things possible. Also we do hackathons and workshops. Hardware Hacking, Software hacking, everything in between hacking… We make our ideas and dreams realities with computers and bring those realities to the wonderful forum of everyone else who is doing the same kinds of things. We go to hackathons (which are 24-36 hour events of dream -> reality) we do hack days(same thing, but 12 hours) and we spend time learning and discussing methods for all of these things, including doing things like workshops and seminars on the infinite possibilities of hacking. | hobby |

IMPs are International Match Points and are a way of scoring Team Games where 4 to 6 players compete against another team. All international competitions are scored this way and work so well that they have been adopted for all club and tournament scoring. IMP or team games are very much like rubber bridge as the total score (above and below the line) is what matters. This score is compared to the opposing team who play the same hands. MPs or Match Points are used for scoring in duplicate games where it is not the total score you make on a hand but how well you do against all the other players who have the same hand. In match point play making 7NT on a hand can give you the same MPs as making 2 spades on another.
Bob Hamman, a world champion, puts it this way: What is the difference between IMPs and Matchpoints? Who do you think were the two best heavyweights who ever fought? I don’t really care who you pick, but take those two fighters, both at the peak of their careers, put them in a ring and let them slug it out for 15 rounds. Whoever wins is the champ. That’s IMPs. Now take the same two fighters, blindfold them and tie one hand behind their backs. Divide the ring diagonally with a solid barrier and put a heavyweight on each side of the barrier. Now go down to the local tavern and collect 20 drunks. Place 10 drunks on each side of the ring and let the fighters go at it. Whoever knocks out his drunks first is the winner. That’s matchpoints!— Bob Hamman, in Classic Bridge Quotes by Jared Johnson | hobby |

You can now use the same 3:1 punching machine and use our specially made 3:1 plastic spirals instead of wire. With 3:1 wire binding you are limited 14mm thickness before requiring a larger punched hole. But with our 3:1 plastic spirals you can now bind up to 45mm, extending the function of your current equipment. Ideal for situations where you have punched a book that is thicker than 14mm as you can now use plastic spirals rather than having to reprint.

Shropshire has over 30 distinctly different golfing venues including:
Three championship courses
18 hole parkland courses
18 hole hillside courses
9 hole courses
Gold driving ranges
Golfing holidays for beginners, intermediate and club players. The nineteenth hole awaits!
As for those who bleat plaintively about being 'golf widows' (or even widowers) fear not. The equally wide selection of fine shopping, restaurants and other attractions will provide a welcome distraction. | hobby |

Collector car enthusiasts invest time, effort, and passion into maintaining and restoring these automotive treasures. To ensure the preservation of these cherished vehicles, collector car insurance steps onto the scene. In this article, we’ll explore the world of collector car insurance, its significance, benefits, and how it caters to the unique needs of vintage car owners.
Understanding Collector Car Insurance
What is Collector Car Insurance?
Collector car insurance is specialized coverage designed to protect classic, vintage, and collectible automobiles. It recognizes that these vehicles often have unique value beyond their market price, considering factors such as rarity, historical significance, and sentimental attachment.
Why is it Different from Regular Auto Insurance?
Unlike regular auto insurance, which primarily focuses on the market value of a vehicle, collector car insurance takes into account the unique value and characteristics of vintage cars. It offers specialized coverage options tailored to the needs of enthusiasts who invest in the preservation of these automotive treasures.
Benefits of Collector Car Insurance
Agreed Value Coverage
Collector car insurance typically offers agreed value coverage. This means that in the event of a total loss, you will receive an agreed-upon amount that reflects the true value of your vehicle, rather than its depreciated market value.
Many collector car insurance policies require specialized appraisals to determine the accurate value of the vehicle. This ensures that the unique features, condition, and historical significance of the car are considered.
Flexible Usage Terms
Collector car insurance understands that these vehicles are often driven less frequently and may participate in exhibitions, parades, and vintage car events. It offers flexible usage terms that align with the intermittent use of these vehicles.
Restoration and Spare Parts Coverage
Collector car insurance can also provide coverage for restoration projects and spare parts. This ensures that the investment you make in restoring and maintaining your vintage car is protected.
Eligibility and Considerations
Vehicle Age and Type
Collector car insurance typically covers vehicles that are a certain number of years old (often 20-25 years or older) and are considered collectible or of historical significance.
Usage and Storage Requirements
Insurance providers may have specific requirements for usage and storage. For instance, the vehicle may need to be stored in a secure garage and used for exhibitions, club events, and occasional pleasure driving.
Some collector car insurance policies may require drivers to meet certain qualifications, such as having a clean driving record and a minimum age.
How to Obtain Collector Car Insurance
Finding a Specialized Provider
Look for insurance companies that specialize in collector car coverage. These providers understand the unique needs of vintage car owners and offer tailored policies.
Appraisal and Documentation
You may need to provide detailed documentation about your vehicle, including photographs, appraisals, and historical information.
Customizing Your Coverage
Work with the insurance provider to customize your coverage based on your vehicle’s value, usage, and restoration efforts.
Preserving the Past: Maintaining Your Collector Car
Frequent maintenance and care are essential to preserving the condition and value of your collector car. Regular inspections, fluid changes, and attention to detail can extend the life of your vehicle.
Storage and Protection
Proper storage is crucial to protect your collector car from the elements. Consider climate-controlled storage to prevent deterioration.
Classic Car Community Involvement
Engaging with the classic car community can provide valuable insights, resources, and camaraderie. Attend vintage car events, join enthusiast clubs, and connect with fellow collectors.
Investment Value and Appreciation
Factors Influencing Value
Several factors influence the value of a collector car, including its rarity, historical significance, condition, provenance, and popularity among collectors.
Long-Term Investment Potential
Many collector cars have the potential to appreciate in value over time, making them not only a passion but also a wise investment.
Collector Car Insurance Myths Debunked
“Collector Car Insurance is Expensive”
Contrary to common belief, collector car insurance can be surprisingly affordable, especially when compared to the coverage it provides for unique vehicles.
“I Can Only Drive My Car Occasionally”
While collector cars are often driven less frequently, many policies offer flexibility for occasional use, exhibitions, and vintage car events.
“All Classic Cars Have the Same Value”
The value of collector cars varies widely based on factors such as make, model, condition, rarity, and historical significance.
Is Collector Car Insurance Right for You?
Enthusiasts and Collectors
If you have a deep appreciation for classic cars and invest in their maintenance and preservation, collector car insurance is tailored to your needs.
Restorers and Customizers
If you’re involved in restoring, customizing, or modifying vintage vehicles, collector car insurance can protect your investment during the process.
Vintage Car Event Participants
If you frequently participate in vintage car events, parades, and exhibitions, collector car insurance offers coverage that aligns with your activities.
Steps to Take in Case of an Incident
Contacting Your Insurer
Notify your collector car insurance provider promptly in case of an incident. Follow their guidelines for reporting and documentation.
Document the damage thoroughly with photographs and relevant details. This documentation will be crucial for the claims process.
Filing a Claim
Follow your insurance provider’s instructions for filing a claim. Provide accurate information and cooperate throughout the process.
Collector car insurance stands as a testament to the enduring passion of vintage car enthusiasts. It recognizes the value and significance of these automotive marvels and offers specialized coverage that aligns with the unique needs of collectors. With benefits like agreed value coverage, flexible usage terms, and restoration protection, collector car insurance safeguards both the physical and sentimental investments that classic car owners hold dear.

Written and produced by Melanie Jones in collaboration with filmmaker Andrea Brassart, JOYRIDE maps cycling narratives, point-of-view video footage, and original soundtrack to 60- to 90-minute power-based interval workouts, manipulating physical, emotional, and visual tension as the story unfolds.
The series explores true stories of rivalry, adversity, representation, and transformation. The pilot episode, Comeback, immerses participants in the story of a professional athlete who returns to racing following an almost-fatal car wreck. Balancing the dominance of privilege in professional and amateur road riding circles, JOYRIDE centers its narratives on riders of color, women, LGBTQ cyclists, and riders with disability—imagining a breadth of humanity and experience beyond the Tour de France.

In this new slot from Play’n GO, players will venture to a secret vault that contains the immense wealth of the gods. These gods, of varying ancient pantheons including Norse and Ancient Egyptian, agreed to protect their treasures at the dawn of man, only allowing entry to those that prove themselves worthy.
Players will spin the 5x3 reels in Chambers of Ancients to secure wins while seeking the treasures hidden inside with the help of a number of exciting bonus features. Players can unlock specific Chambers when three of the same Key land on the reels and enjoy that Chamber’s Hold and Spin Bonus Game. Players can also earn Free Spins rounds and take advantage of Expanding Wilds every time a Wild symbol lands on the reels, increasing the chance of a winning payline.
Fans of mythology slots like Scroll of Seth (2023) and Odin: Protector of the Realms (2021) will love this new title, bringing multiple mythologies together into a melting pot of god-like fun. Similarly, fans of popular series like the Dead series and the Wilde series, with its focus on the legendary treasure hunting Wilde family, will enjoy this title that seeks ancient artefacts locked away by this array of different gods.
Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, Magnus Wallentin said:
“We’re very excited for players to try out Chambers of Ancients and experience this mixed-mythology narrative. We have lots of IPs focused on specific mythologies, but combining the iconic characters from these tales is something we’ve really enjoyed doing. Along with the game’s exciting selection of bonus features, this is sure to be a hit!”
With features such as the Hold and Spin Bonus Games and Expanding Wilds, along with this unique narrative, Chambers of Ancients looks set to be a fantastic and memorable addition to Play’n GO’s already popular and extensive library of titles. | hobby |

But to really appreciate that you need to see it clearly and I think that black and white photos always bring details out. I think that often with color photographs its the colors that are the primary focus and can make up for a lot of blah. This isn't the case with black and white. With a black and white photograph you have to have a good composition, interesting subject.

Our process to become a full member is fairly straightforward and easy.
TSG4 is NOT an "AUTO-APPROVE" organization. In order for you to be considered and accepted as a full member of TSG4, the following stepsmustoccur:
Make sure to register on our website (using your in-game name). Only registered users are able to submit an application.
Fill out an Application.
Join us on our Discord server (using your in-game name) and click/enter the "MAIN LOBBY" channel room and ask for a recuiter by typing in the center text channel (channel list is on the LEFT side of the Discord window) -https://discord.gg/sTck9hr.
Complete your Initial Interview on Discord with a Recruiter (or Senior Officer).
Review the TSG4 S.O.P's and Ethos (located in "TSG4 DOCUMENTS").
Visit the TSG4 S.O.P thread in the "Community" section of the TSG4 forums and type your name or "/sign" that you understand and agree to be held accountable to our S.O.P's.
Successfully complete your Recruiting Process (detailed below).
During the Recruiting Process you will be observed and evaluated by all current TSG4 members, whether in-game with you or just listening on Discord. Your actions and behavior should be based on our Code of Conduct (since that is how we will measure your ability to fit in with us). Make sure that you read our “Code of Conduct (SOP's)” and understand what is expected of you *BEFORE* beginning the Recruiting Process.
It is important to note that carrying clan tags from another clan is not permitted once a Recruit and Prospective Member has officially entered into the TSG4 Recruiting Process. After your application has been reviewed, you will have your initial interview on Discord with a recruiter. During the Initial Interview, you will be given your rank (Discord role) of "E-1, Seaman Recruit" and be assigned a "Red R" to designate you as a "Recruit" to all of the TSG4 members. You are to update your profile avatars with this "Red R" on both your Discord Profile *and* your TSG4 OpServ (Website) Profile.
When you are nearing the end of your Recruiting Process, you will be elevated in status and given a "Green R" (the color green is for "good to go") to designate you as a " Indoc Recruit" to all of the TSG4 members. At this time, you will also be informed of your pending Billet Assignment as a full member of TSG4 and be given a "Indoc Checklist". This Checklist is the final step of the Recruiting Process and must be completed prior to being extended an offer for Full Membership.
If you successfully navigate the Recruiting Process and are approved for membership, you will be considered as having “Earned Your Stripes” and will accordingly be promoted to “E-2, Seaman” and issued your rank stripes for your profile avatars. For Veteran and Active Duty members of the military, please refer to the alternate provisions as provided in section 1.B.3(D) of the SOP's.
In an effort to help guide the decision of our Recruiters and Staff, ALL of the current TSG4 members will make comments about you on the “Recruiting” section of our website forum that will be based on your behavior in-game and on Discord. **Your ship tier level and your skill level (WN8) has NO bearing on your application because we have no tier level or proficiency requirements.**
The Recruiting Process can take as little as a few days or up to a couple of weeks. The timeframe for completion is based entirely onYOU, the recruitand how often you are engaged with our members on our Discord server (and in-game)! Generally, the expected time for you to complete your Onboarding through the Recruiting Process will take approximately 14 days, but could go a little longer.... (or shorter).... It all just depends on your level of activity,engagementandpositive attitude.. If you are unsure of, or would just like an update on your personal progress during the course of your “Recruitment Evaluation Period”, all you need to do is ask a recruiter.
Before you begin filling out our membership application, it is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED (and STRONGLY RECOMMENDED) that you spend a few minutes and watch this video! Even though our organization exists for games and in a gaming environment, this video will give you a much better sense of our mindset and help you understand who the members are at the core of TSG4.
**Helpful Hint- If the number of evaluation comments on your "recruit thread" does not equal or exceed the number of days that you have been in the Recruiting Process, you absolutely WILL NOT advance into the "Green R" Indoc Phase.Reason:The number of evaluations is an indication of your activity level. A low number of evaluations indicates a low activity level and thus a low desire to become a full member of TSG4. Suggestion:As you div-up with full members of TSG4, do not be afraid to "remind" them (or simply flat-out ask them) to make a comment on your thread. Helping your progress though the process *is* helping yourself... and is certainly viewed as being positive and taking a proactive approach!
Please feel free to speak to a member on our Discord server if you have any questions regarding the TSG4 Recruiting Process. Use this link to go directly to the TSG4 Membership Application Pageand submit an application to become a member of the Tactical Strike Group 4 family!
Again, thank you for your interest in TSG4….. See you in-game! | hobby |

I have some of the makeup I did and the cuts /wounds at the top!
Steps for liquid latex cuts:
1. Put a layer of Liquid Latex when you want the cut to be
2. Add tissue and rip around where you don’t have Liquid latex
3. Add another layer of liquid latex and seal edges of tissue paper with liquid latex.
4. Repeat and do about 4 layers of tissue paper and seal with liquid latex.
5. Next wait a while or use hair dryer to dry area.
6. Use foundation and cover area so it matches your skin tone.
7.(optional) use some blush and dust around area.
8. Next create a cut in desired area with scissors but be careful.
9. Once fake cut/wound is open add red pain inside “cut”, I also add a little black paint or lipstick inside the “cut”.
10. After that step add some fake blood inside and than dab some with a sponge around. Coagulated blood makes it look more wet and chunky.
11. Taadaa!!! It is actually easier than you think and looks way cool! Check it out! It’s household tissue and Halloween store or amazon or more places sell liquid latex and you can use any makeup!
Ps check out my YouTube I’ll include a link! | hobby |

My name is Jamie Spencer and I have been blogging as my main source of income for the past six years. I have created and sold a wide variety of blogs in different niches which means I am in a great position to help you create your first blog.
I launched SetupABlogToday.com to teach you for free, how you can start a blog online in no time at all even if you’re a complete blogging novice!
To build your first blog we will be using the popular WordPress platform to create a blog on your own web hosting account.
Click one of the three buttons below and we can get started.
Why I Recommend WordPressPlainly and simply I will never recommend someone who wants to start a blog to use a free platform such as Blogger. While there is zero barrier to entry and no up front financial cost to you there are lots of concerns which could cost you more in the long run. When something is free you are the product – Because of this fact a platform such as Blogger or WordPress.com can shut you down at any point, with no warning and no way to recover your content. A minor indiscretion such as using an image without the right consent can have your site deleted and no way to challenge it. It looks unprofessional – Many of the free blogging platforms do not let you have a custom domain which gives across an unprofessional appearance to potential customers and subscribers. You are also very limited with the level of customisation you can do to your blog so your site looks just like everyone else’s. Paying for web hosting for your blog is not very expensive and can cost as little as $5 per month for very basic hosting packages. Having a reliable web host will mean that your site is backed up regularly and you have rights to recover your website for any reason. Now that you know that the free blogging platforms are not a great option for your blog you need to decide upon the type of platform you will use. There are lots of different open source platforms which most web hosting companies will support when you are creating your blog. The main blogging platforms are:
- WordPress – is the most popular and customizable content management system (CMS) in the world
- Ghost – is a new blogging platform that is creating a lot of noise in the blogosphere
- Drupal – is quite popular but is difficult for novices
- Joomla – another fairly popular CMS but there is a very steep learning curve
Start a WordPress Blog – Video TutorialIf you are new to setting up a blog I recommend that you use Web Hosting Hub they have great customer service, reliable uptime and various free scripts which means you can install WordPress on your brand new hosting account in just a few clicks.
You can read my Web Hosting Hub Review for more details.
Also if you sign up to Web Hosting Hub today you will get a great discount and a free domain name for your new blog too.
Create a WordPress Blog – Step by Step TutorialIn order to setup a blog you will need a domain name and web hosting. If you are new to starting a blog then I recommend that you register your domain & hosting with the same company to keep things simple.
Over the past few years, I’ve tried dozens of different WordPress Hosting providers and I highly recommend using Web Hosting Hub to make a blog because of their simple installation process & reliability.
First head on over to Web Hosting Hub, if you visit the site today you will get an exclusive discount and free domain name worth $14.99. Select the package you want for your new site, if you plan on hosting more than 1 site on your hosting account then I recommend the Nitro package.
Now choose your domain name, Web Hosting Hub will check if it is available for you. If you are happy for people to know the name and address of the person owning the domain name then you can deselect the whois privacy button as this will save you $9.99 per year. Fill in your personal details such as your contact and payment information. If you are happy to back up your blog regularly yourself then you can deselect the backup button, ignore the McAfee email protection and Dynamo upgrade. Web Hosting Hub will also install WordPress on your new hosting account for you so remember to select that option.
Now complete the checkout and submit your order. This whole process will take just a few short minutes to complete.
Managed WordPress Hosting from WPEngineIf you find that the instructions in this tutorial are too complicated for you, don’t worry about it! Simply head over to our good friends at WP Engine and let them handle it all for you.
Check WP Engine’s Plans
They’ll install WordPress on to your new blog, take care of any updates you need, backup your site everyday, monitor your site 24/7 for viruses and will happily provide answers to your questions from their team of WordPress experts.
I highly recommend WP Engine for managed WordPress Hosting.

https://twtdream.com/why-are-more-and-more-slot-machines-using-curved-displays-now/ | 2023-12-01T22:36:53 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100308.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201215122-20231202005122-00178.warc.gz | 0.91988 | 844 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__205711255 | en | As an easy-to-operate game and entertainment tool, the slot machine has always been popular among people, and when the slot machine is used as a gambling tool, it has become a frequent visitor to casinos, and even many countries and regions have opened special slot machine game halls.
After decades of development, slot machines have also developed a variety of game content, and the display screen is the focus of slot machine development today. Let’s talk about the most commonly used curved display screens in slot machines.
There are several advantages to using curved displays for slot machines:
- Improved gaming experience: Curved displays provide a wider field of view and more realistic images, allowing players to immerse themselves more deeply in the game and enhancing the gaming experience.
- Reduced eye fatigue: Curved displays can reduce distortion and pixelation at the edges of the screen, reducing eye fatigue and visual strain and allowing players to enjoy the game for longer periods of time.
- Better contrast and color performance: Curved displays offer improved contrast and color performance, resulting in clearer, more vibrant images and more realistic game environments.
- Better design: Curved displays often have a more stylish and unique design compared to flat displays, adding a special aesthetic appeal to slot machines and attracting the attention of players.
- Improved response time and input lag: Curved displays often have faster response times and lower input lag, resulting in a smoother gaming experience.
Overall, using curved displays can enhance the gaming experience and visual effects of slot machines, providing a more realistic and immersive gaming experience. If you are a fan of slot machines, consider choosing a machine with a curved display for the best gaming experience.
Slot machines typically require high-resolution and high-quality curved displays to provide a better visual experience and gaming performance. Here are some types of curved displays that are suitable for slot machines:
- 4K curved displays: These displays have ultra-high resolution, typically 3840 x 2160 pixels, and can provide clear, lifelike images and details. They are often larger than standard 1080p displays and can provide a wider gaming field of view, immersing players more deeply in the game.
- OLED curved displays: These displays use organic light-emitting diode technology and can provide higher contrast and deeper blacks, making images clearer and more vivid. They typically have faster response times and lower input lag, providing a smoother gaming experience.
- 21:9 ultrawide curved displays: These displays have a wider aspect ratio, typically 21:9, and can provide a wider field of view, allowing players to better experience the game environment and plot. They typically also have higher resolution and refresh rates, providing clearer, smoother gaming images.
In general, slot machines are suitable for high-resolution, high-quality, and wide curved displays to provide a better gaming experience. Different slot machine manufacturers and game types may have different display requirements, so it is recommended to carefully review product specifications and features when choosing a display and select the one that best suits your needs.
There are many manufacturers producing curved displays for slot machines. Here are some of them:
- IGT (International Game Technology): IGT is a manufacturer of slot machines and curved displays, offering various types and sizes of curved displays to fit different types of slot machines and games.
- Aristocrat: Aristocrat is a manufacturer of slot machines and curved displays. Their curved displays use OLED technology and offer better contrast and color performance.
- Scientific Games: Scientific Games is a manufacturer of slot machines and curved displays. Their curved displays have high resolution, high contrast, and fast response times, providing a better gaming experience.
- Novomatic: Novomatic is a manufacturer of slot machines and curved displays. Their curved displays use advanced LCD technology and have high quality and performance.
There are other manufacturers also producing curved displays for slot machines, such as KONAMI, JCM Global, and ELO Touch Solutions, among others. Whatever brand of curved display you choose, it is recommended to carefully read the product specifications and features before purchasing, to select the curved display that best suits your needs. | hobby |

That being said, mastering a few fundamentals will help you perfect your technique. From here, we encourage you to experiment with different roasts, origins, or preparation methods.
Here are our tips to brew a classic cup of coffee:
Make sure that your tools — from bean grinders and filters to coffee makers— are thoroughly cleaned after each use.
Rinse with clear, hot water (or wipe down thoroughly), and dry with an absorbent towel. It’s important to check that no grounds have been left to collect and that there’s no build-up of coffee oil, which can make future cups of coffee taste bitter and rancid.
Great coffee starts with great beans.
The quality and flavor of your coffee is not only determined by your favorite brewing process, but also by the type of coffee you select.
Some of the flavor factors include:
The country and region of origin
The variety of bean - arabica, robusta - or a blend
The roast type
The texture of your grind
While there are a lot of choices, remember that there’s no right or wrong — for instance, you can choose a dark, flavorful espresso roast coffee and still have it ground to be brewed in a drip system. Have fun trying and enjoying different combinations.
Purchase coffee as soon as possible after it’s roasted. Fresh-roasted coffee is essential to a quality cup, so buy your coffee in small amounts (ideally every one to two weeks). And please, never reuse your coffee grounds to make coffee. Once brewed, the desirable coffee flavors have been extracted and only the bitter ones are left.
If you buy whole bean coffee, always grind your beans as close to the brew time as possible for maximum freshness. A burr or mill grinder is best because the coffee is ground to a consistent size.
A blade grinder is less preferable because some coffee will be ground more finely than the rest. If you normally grind your coffee at home with a blade grinder, try having it ground at the store with a burr grinder - you’ll be surprised at the difference! On the other hand, if your coffee tastes flat, it may be under-extracted, meaning your grind is too coarse.
The water you use is very important to the quality of your coffee. Use filtered or bottled water if your tap water is not good or has a strong odor or taste, such as chlorine.
If you’re using tap water, let it run a few seconds before filling your coffee pot, and be sure to use cold water. Avoid distilled or softened water.
A general guideline is called the "Golden Ratio" one to two tablespoons of ground coffee for every six ounces of water. This can be adjusted to suit individual taste preferences. Check the cup lines or indicators on your specific brewer to see how they actually measure. And remember that some water is lost to evaporation in certain brewing methods.
Your brewer should maintain a water temperature between 195 to 205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction. Colder water will result in flat, under-extracted coffee, while water that is too hot will also cause a loss of quality in the taste of the coffee. If you are brewing the coffee manually, let the water come to a full boil, but do not over-boil. Turn off the heat source and allow the water to rest a minute before pouring it over the grounds.
The amount of time that the water is in contact with the coffee grounds is another important flavor factor.
In a drip system, the contact time should be approximately 5 minutes. If you are making your coffee using a French Press, the contact time should be 2-4 minutes. Espresso has an especially brief brew time — the coffee is in contact with the water for only 20-30 seconds. Cold-brew, on the other hand, should steep overnight (about 12 hours). If you’re not happy with the taste of the final product, you're likely either:
Over-extracting - the brew time is too long
Under-extracting - the brew time is too short
Enjoy your coffee! | hobby |

Kiana is located on the Kobuk River in Northwestern Alaska, approximately 30 miles north of the Arctic Circle, in “The Land of the Midnight Sun.” This is home to the Sheefish (Inconnu), or “The Tarpon of the North”, known only to the native residents and a few satisfied anglers.
This is where you can find the best Sheefishing in the world. The Sheefish may be caught by recognized methods: spinning, casting, trolling or fly fishing. From mid-March through the first of May Sheefish are caught by jigging through the ice on Selawik Lake of Hotham Inlet. Regardless of the time or method used, this is an excellent place to get your Trophy Sheefish.
The waters we fish vary in size from very large rivers to small streams and sloughs. The Kobuk River Valley also offers fishing for Arctic Char, Chum Salmon, Northern Pike, Whitefish and Burbot.
We begin our season in early June and close for the winter in late September. While fishing in the uninhabited frontier, it is likely you will see caribou, moose brown/black bear and untold amounts of wild birds and animals. You cannot imagine what it is like to be fishing under the Midnight Sun until you have experienced such an event!
The following is a list of tackle to fish our waters:
Light spin rod, 4-6 lb. test line
Medium spin rod, 10-15 lb test line
We use spoons and spinners in our waters. Some favorites are Daredevils, Krocodiles, Hot Rods, Vibrax and Pixies.
Fly rod from 3wt to 9wt and from 5 ft. to 9 ft. in length. Fly fishing for Sheefish is a challenge. The best setup is a 9wt rod with a fast sinking line. A red and white streamer has been known to be a Sheefish favorite.
Grayling and Char will take nymphs and steamers. Fly fishing for Northern Pike can also be exciting with floating line and weedless bass files.
We own and operate two aluminum river jet boats, both equipped with inboard engines. One boat is 30’ and the other is 20’. For larger parties, other boats and guides are available as needed. All guides and equipment are Coast Guard licensed. Fly-outs are available at your own expense from a local charter operator.
Our jet boats assure a safe and successful trip. Both our boats are equipped with radios and we’re prepared for emergencies or any unexpected breakdown. Our trips operation are geared toward small groups so we can offer lots of personal attention. We normally book a maximum of six anglers but often will accommodate a party of two.
For the person who likes to travel and is looking for an exciting adventure, a visit to Kiana Lodge may be just what you are looking for. We offer comfortable lodging, superb scenery, excellent fishing and hunting and friendly hosts whose aim is to make your vacation unforgettable.
Choose your dates for travel and let us plan a custom trip for you and your friends.
Referred to by the Inupiat of the Kobuk River as Sii and by Arctic explorers as inconnu (meaning “unknown” in French), the sheefish is found only in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of North America and Siberia. In Alaska, sheefish is found in abundance on the Kobuk and Selawik (Siilavik, Inupiaq for “the place of the sheefish”) Rivers.
Ken Alt retired Biologist from the Alaska State Dept. of Fish & Game gives a general description of the sheefish as, “a member of the whitefish family but distinguishable from the more common whitefish by the strong extended lower jaw”. It often displays a phosphorescent purple sheen when taken from the water. The female sheefish lives longer and attains a greater size. Sheefish in the Selawik and Kobuk area can weigh up to 60 pounds, while in Interior Alaska they seldom exceed 25 pounds. The average shee fish weighs between 15 and 20 pounds.
FISHING FOR THE SHEE:
The sheefish is the only predatory whitefish on the North American continent and is sleek and streamlined. The average shee fish will surface and tail walk as depicted in some of my photos, about three times and then sound.
The sheefish will put up a good fight, so a nine weight fly rod is highly recommended. I recommend bringing a spare rod for its not uncommon for a rod to fail, regardless of the brand. Reels should be of the large arbor with a well working smooth drag. A large streamer resembling a smelt or herring with a fast sinking line and a brisk receive is recommended. The trick to success in fishing for the elusive shee fish is being at the right place at the right time of year. Chest waders are recommended.
Shee fish are excellent eating when properly prepared. Many have said that shee fish is similar in taste to halibut but that is for you to decide. Some prefer to eat it deep fried, a Kiana Lodge special. Otherwise, Nellie can prepare it another way if requested. | hobby |

We’ve put together a list of the very best free spins offers, including ones with no wagering requirements, ridiculous amounts of spins, and even some bonuses with multiple parts!
PlayOJO is unquestionably the fairest casino and has absolutely NO wagering requirements.
*UK only. Win up to 500 Free Spins from Mega Wheel on 1st deposit. 24-hour expiry. Max bet £2.50, max spins win £8 per 10 spins, max Bonus win £150, selected games & 65x wagering on winnings. No Neteller/Skrill. Deposit/withdrawal fees apply. Full T&Cs apply.
35x wagering on bonus and winnings from free spins.
Free spins are usually offered by online casinos as a ‘welcome offer’ to get you to sign up. Most commonly, these are granted after you have made your first deposit.
However, there are in fact several other ways to get free spins for free that most players don’t know about.
Here are 3 clever methods you can often use to get free spins without having to deposit any money at all! Additionally, they can sometimes be used to gain additional free spins after you have already been playing at a casino.
Some casinos give you free spins with no deposit required if you register your card details on the site. Obviously this is done to make it easy for you to deposit real money in the future, but technically you don’t have to pay anything to take advantage of this bonus and it is a great way to get some extra spins.
The hardest thing is actually finding the slots sites that offer this generous bonus. Did you even know there was such a thing as free spins for registering a card?!
Luckily we’ve done all of the hard work and you can find every single bonus where you can get free spins just by entering your card details and not having to actually deposit anything.
Since the use of credit cards is now banned for online gambling, you will have to use a debit card to qualify for this bonus.
Many casinos like to reward their players who verify their phone numbers or opt into SMS marketing; in fact, some operators value this so highly that they dish out free spins to everyone that does it.
Although some casinos actually have it as a requirement to even qualify for the first deposit bonus, others will reward you just for this action alone – without having to put in any more money!
This has to be one of the easiest ways to get some extra funds to play with into your account, without having to whip out your card again.
Furthermore, if a casino is willing to reward you just for verifying your phone number, that’s a good sign that they value their players very highly and are likely to continue to give lots of incentives to their existing player base.
While email verification is usually a requirement to even sign up to an online casino these days, some sites reward you for this action alone. This is unquestionably the easiest way to earn free spins, as it’s a matter of clicking a link in your inbox; the only downside might be that you receive marketing and promotions from them from time to time.
It isn’t as common for slots sites to give bonuses for this alone, but amazingly they do exist!
Frustratingly, it sometimes seems like the only way to bank some free spins is to sign up to yet another casino.
But are there actually any sites that reward their existing players with free spins from time to time? Do casinos even value their player base anymore?
Although many casinos are guilty of offering big welcome bonuses to reel players in and then just abandoning them once they’re a ‘first time depositor’, there are in fact a few quality operators in the industry that are renowned for their player retention – in other words, for how well they treat their players.
Here are a few different ways the best online casinos dish out free spins to their existing player base:
If you want to give slots a serious shot, then we would definitely recommend signing up to a casino where you will be given rewards and bonuses, even after you’ve deposited money for the first time.
“Sign up and get 50 free spins!”
Sounds simple enough right?
Well, there are actually quite a few nuances when it comes to understanding free spins bonuses…
We’ve compiled every detail you need to know about these bonuses and what caveats you could run into:
One tactic to beat wagering requirements is to place big bets, get lucky, and meet the requirements almost instantaneously. Unfortunately, most casinos are smart enough to know that many players like to implement this strategy and therefore tend to implement ‘bet limits’ when you’re still completing your bonus or wagering your winnings.
On the bright side, however, when doing smaller bets you get more enjoyment out of playing the slots and are spreading your risk out.
Another really important thing to consider is how long you actually have to complete the bonus.
While the normal time limit you have to complete a free spins bonus is 7 days, some casinos, such as BGO, give you as little as 24 hours! Therefore, we recommend that you use your free spins as quickly as possible.
On the other hand, other casinos split your free spins bonus across multiple days. Therefore, if you were given 100 free spins on a casino site, they might only give you 10 a day, meaning that you would have to log in every day in order to claim the full bonus.
Although free spins are exciting because of the prospect of winning a lot without having spent anything, certain casinos do in fact have ‘win limits’ from your free spins bonuses.
This means that you might only be able to make a maximum of £100-£200 from your free spins – but I don’t think you would be complaining about that, right?
Nevertheless, it would certainly be frustrating if you were to win a jackpot and have your winnings capped. Therefore, an extra thing to look out for is casinos with no winning caps! With 888 Casino’s sign up offer, if you win the jackpot using their free spins, you’re allowed to keep it all!
Most casinos will only allow one account per IP address or household, meaning that if someone else in your house has already signed up to a casino and used the bonus, then it is unlikely that you will be able to as well.
Certain games do not contribute towards wagering requirements. See the section below for more details.
Like most welcome offers, free spins often have ‘wagering requirements’ attached to any winnings you get from them. Not only that but many casinos ‘cap’ the maximum winnings you can get from them, which can make the amount you’re actually given seem misleading.
Sometimes these wagering requirements are unavoidable and you have to just wager the required amount on a game that gives you the best return possible so that you have the best chance of actually beating them.
However, you need to check the specific bonus terms for each offer you sign up to, as it is likely that certain games won’t count towards the wagering requirements. For example, most table games such as roulette usually won’t contribute, and certain slot games with an excessively high RTP might not be included either.
An example is the slot ‘Blood Suckers’, which is notorious for having an outstanding 98% RTP. While this is a great slot to play on if you’re just playing regularly, most casinos will have it excluded from contributing towards bonuses due to it being the highest returning slot game in the world.
Typically, these types of offers will only give you a small number of spins that are worth a few pounds in total. But at least you can actually take your winnings out!
Perhaps you have a favourite slots game you like to play and you’re specifically looking for a casino that will offer you free spins for that particular game?
Here are some of the most common slots games that free spins are offered on and where you can find them.
Starburst is probably the most common game which slot sites offer free spins for. It’s a fan-favourite and has a great RTP of 98%.
Another fantastic slots game is Book of Dead, which is renowned for being a top-quality high variance game. If you’re looking to defeat high wagering requirements, then Book of Dead is usually a great option.
Perhaps the biggest fan favourite of all due to its great RTP and gameplay, free spins on rainbow riches are still offered at some online casinos.
Certain casinos offer free spins on their own ‘exclusive’ slot games, such as Mr Green and Virgin Games.
Even though ‘more’ isn’t always better when it comes to free spins, it is still worth asking the question of where can you get the most free spins?!
We’ve all seen offers such as ’10 free spins’ which are legit, or on the contrary offers such as ‘300 free spins’, but you have to deposit a huge amount and meet ridiculous wagering requirements. We know which of the two we prefer.
But what is the highest amount of free spins you can get without having to deposit anything?
Sure, you might be able to get 300 free spins at this casino, 500 at the next… But an important thing to ask yourself is this: What are they actually worth?
Typically you’ll find that in the UK they tend to be worth about £0.10.
Having said that, we’ve seen them range anywhere from £0.01 all the way to £0.50 each! This is a huge difference and should certainly be another factor to consider, in addition to the number of spins and the presence of wagering requirements.
It goes without saying that free spins are UNDOUBTEDLY the most sought after slots bonus in the UK, simply due to the fact that the concept of getting something for nothing is just enticing to us humans.
But if you do the numbers… Are they really the best slot bonus?
The answer: it depends.
The main question you have to ask yourself is this: how much are you looking to gamble on slots?
If you only want to spend a few quid and want to come out with a small, quick profit using free spins, then absolutely go for it!
But if you’re more of a high roller and want to have a decent crack at slots, is 30 free 10p spins really going to mean anything for you? Probably not.
Therefore, if you’re this type of player, then finding a decent deposit match offer at a casino that rewards its existing players and has a great reputation is going to give you a much better playing experience and RTP than getting a few pounds out of free spins. Hopefully, this helps!
Let’s get to the bottom line. Can you actually win and withdraw real money by taking advantage of free spins bonuses?
The truth is that with every bonus offer out there, there is a chance that you will be able to withdraw money from the free spins…
However, certain types of ‘free spins’ promotions give you an incredibly slim chance of actually being able to withdraw the money, whereas with others it is virtually guaranteed!
Let’s take an example. Let’s say you get 50 free spins worth £0.10 each and manage to win £20 from them. Not a bad return, right?
However, the winnings you get from these spins actually have a 30x wagering requirement along with them. What does this mean? Well, you have to wager the £20 you won at least 30 times, meaning that you would have to make £600 worth of bets with that £20 just to be able to withdraw what you have left!
I think it goes without saying that it is highly likely that you would just lose your full bonus, but of course, you do still have a chance. The lower the requirements, the better the odds of you actually being able to keep your money.
But after all, these are still free spins, so if you’re at least having a bit of fun playing with them with the possibility of actually being able to keep some decent money, then it’s not really an issue!
But what is the type of free spins bonus that allows you to withdraw your money virtually every time?!
You guessed it: bonuses with NO wagering requirements.
In other words, whatever you win from the free spins, you get to keep. Simple as that.
Of course, these offers don’t tend to be as enticing in terms of the number of spins they give you or the value of them, but at least you’re pretty much guaranteed to be able to take something out, right?
Even if you do have to deposit say £10 to be able to qualify for the free spins, you can easily just withdraw the full amount including your initial deposit after you have used them all up.
Here are a few casinos who have absolutely no wagering requirements on their free spins offers:
Understandably, many players prefer to play slots on their phones. It’s more convenient. However, it’s no secret that a lot of casinos are lacking when it comes to the ‘mobile’ side of things, which begs the question as to whether any of them actually run any decent free spins offers for mobile?
Fortunately, there are a number of casinos which have an excellent mobile app and have great free spins bonuses to get with it. Some of them may allow you to claim the bonus on mobile, but might not have an app to go with it and therefore the playing experience might just not be good enough.
Free spins are a common bonus offered by casinos that allow you to play real money slots without having to spend any actual money yourself. Casinos typically offer these as a signup offer and they sometimes have wagering requirements.
The most common way to get free spins is as a sign up bonus for certain casinos. However, some casinos allow players to claim free spins through slot tournaments, competitions and loyalty rewards as well.
Not all free spins bonuses are made equal. Avoid bonuses with absurdly high wagering requirements unless they offer a very high amount of spins. Spins with no wagering requirements are always worth it. | hobby |

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we have decided to cancel 2020 edition of Gran Fondo Gdynia, scheduled for May 24th.
All of us - organizers and competitors - had pretty different expectations for this season. The decision we have made is extremely difficult but in the current situation, the only right one. Taking into account both the current legal status of the organization of mass events, as well as the desire to ensure maximum safety for you, the participants as well as for volunteers, fans, our partners, technical teams and our entire staff, we cannot do otherwise. We also don't want to postpone this decision, hoping that it will allow everyone to minimize the costs and revise your calendar well in advance.
GRAN FONDO GDYNIA VIRTUAL RACE
However, we know that you miss the emotions of racing or even training together. Therefore - hoping that next season we will meet on the beautiful Kashubian routes of Gran Fondo Gdynia "in real life" - we invite you to the Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race, this May. Below you will find some details of our proposal.
- The Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race will be held on Rouvy app. The Gran Fondo Gdynia course has recently been filmed specifically for this purpose and will be available to users of Rouvy from May onwards. You will be able to feel Kashubia in your home and... in your legs! Every uphill and every downhill.
- Two forms of participation in the Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race will be available:
a) Challenge available from May 1 - May 31 for owners of any trainer.
b) Virtual race with open and age group classifications for owners of smart trainers.
- Participants registered for this year's Gran Fondo Gdynia can take part in the Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race without any additional payments. They will receive the official race jersey and the finisher medal (sent by courier at the expense of the organizer) plus 30 days of full access to the Rouvy app.
- Those who have not registered to the Gran Fondo Gdynia 2020, can still sign up for the Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race with an entry fee of 100 PLN. The same finisher medal (courier service) and 30 days of full access to Rouvy will be included in the fee.
OTHER OPTIONS FOR ATHLETES
For those who are not interested in participating in the Gran Fondo Gdynia Virtual Race, we have prepared the following options:
- Free shipping of the official Gran Fondo Gdynia 2020 race jersey to the address provided.
- Refunding the entry fee reduced by the administration fee of 100 PLN. The administration fee is intended to cover the costs of the already executed work of the organizing staff and other expenses related to the promotion and organisation of Gran Fondo Gdynia 2020.
If the fee is returned, it is also possible to transfer the amount declared by the competitor to a charity collection supporting the rehabilitation of Ryszard Szurkowski. So far, we have collected over 12 000 PLN for this purpose! Thank you!
Regardless of the option chosen by the rider, anyone can apply for a refund of extra services such as medal engraving, starting kit home delivery or finisher photos. However, it is impossible to receive a refund of the cancellation insurance.
All the merch orders – incl. official Gran Fondo Gdynia bib shorts and socks – will be realized.
WHAT TO DO
Each registered participant will soon receive an email with a link to a short survey in which they will declare their chosen solution. We will keep you informed about the next steps.
To receive a refund for extra services or in case of any other questions, please contact [email protected].
LET’S GO THROUGH THIS TOGETHER!
In these difficult weeks, we wish that all of you stayed safe, healthy and positive. We don’t worry about the perseverance of the cyclists. Take care, train at home and we do hope to meet you on the cycling routes very soon. We also count on your attending on Rouvy during the Gran Fondo Gdynia VR! This will be an invaluable support and a positive signal for us during this difficult time for the whole sporting sector. And a new and very positive experience, which - who knows - we may continue in the future!

One, the price point seemed very reasonable. I could try essentially without risk.
Two, I had participated in the phone sessions you had given a couple years ago on the focus wheel and also seen you live a few times. I knew that you were the ‘real thing’, that you had practiced these processes and you knew your way around them. I was interested to see a fleshed out, structured version of what Abraham was doing, with some new insights and points of view that had come out of your experience.
Abraham is unique in many ways; one of them is that there is no ‘lineage’, no official ‘advanced students’, no organization to speak of, with ‘certified instructors’ and that sort of thing. There is no graduated program of white belt/green belt/black belt, or even a consistent boxing model of ‘learn these techniques, practice, get in better shape, spar, get in better shape, work the heavy bag, do some more drills, get in better shape, don’t flinch when punched, and get better organically without the colored-belt steps’. The current Abraham approach is more similar to boxing than to the very structured Tae Kwon Do belts.
So I saw you as a creative innovator, loyal and true to the purity of Abraham while also embellishing that a bit with your own insights. I wanted to go deeper, in a way that would augment my current ‘program’ of listening to hours and hours of Abraham and soaking it up ‘organically’.
You offered a ‘doing’ that seemed like a great complement to listening, sort of a ‘belt training’ approach maybe. | hobby |

Welcome to Kemuri Tex Jap BBQ – a culinary venture that's close to my heart, born out of a wild and exciting journey. I'm a young Singaporean guy who's passionate about two things: Texan smoked barbecue and Japanese cuisine.
My journey took me all the way to Austin, Texas, where I trained myself in the outback smokehouse of LeRoy and Lewis Barbecue. I learned the secrets of crafting exceptional smoked dishes, from briskets to beef cheeks. Bringing this expertise back to Singapore, I knew I had a mission to fulfill – to introduce my hometown to the incredible taste of authentic Texan smoked barbecue.
But that's just one part of the story. Singapore's culinary scene is a vibrant blend of cultures, and Japanese food holds a special place here. Inspired by this, I dared to dream bigger. I envisioned a culinary experience that fuses the robustness of Texan barbecue with the refined artistry of Japanese cooking. And that's how Kemuri Tex Jap BBQ was born – a place where smoky barbecue meets the tidy precision of Japanese cuisine.
So, as you explore our menu, I hope you’ll discover the magic that happens when these two worlds collide. Imagine savoring the tender smoked bacon that's braised and infused with Japanese spices. Picture the delectable pairing of brisket with a rich Japanese demi glaze.
But this journey isn't just about flavors; it's about heart and soul. It's about my mission to bring you an experience that's both familiar and exhilaratingly new. It's about sharing my passion for smoked barbecue and the intricacies of Japanese cuisine, all on a single plate.
So come join us at Kemuri Tex Jap BBQ. I can't wait to welcome you to our table and share the story that's been simmering in my heart. | hobby |

You will find in your bag:
- Beet greens or swiss chard
- Sugar Snap Peas
In the next coming weeks you will find more greens (lettuce mix, chard, kale, spinach), beets, carrots, scallions and fennel. You can expect to see peas again too.
Beans are coming up nicely, winter squash, summer squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers have been transplanted. You will start seeing some of these things mid-summer, along with herbs such as dill, cilantro and basil. Sweet potato slips were planted last weekend too.
Ground prepared for winter squash and pepper transplants. Winter Rye, Vetch, and Clover were mowed, disced, chisel plowed, and then disced again. What was left was suitable for transplanting with just some spotty places where tufts of rye are still growing.
Just prior to mowing down sweet yellow clover cover crop, it was almost 6 feet tall! Late summer crops will be planted here. (cabbage, kale, carrots, beets, etc)

Yes, it is. An espalier is an innovative way to soften a brick wall, a trellis or even a chain link fence. If space permits, consider using more than one tree. The Red Jewel crabapple trees on the Visitor Center are espaliered into basic Y-shapes that are then extended into a diamond pattern.
Early spring is the best time to begin your espalier. First, choose a small 3- to 4-foot whip growing on dwarf rootstock. Prune the whip back to two strong buds (this may mean you actually prune back half the whip). Rub out all buds below this cut. Plant the whip no more than 12 inches from the wall. Best results are obtained when the tree is trained against a support (such as bamboo stakes) rather than directly against the brick. Secure these stakes to the wall and tie the whip to the bamboo using soft ties. Two new shoots will begin to grow from the two buds. Train these shoots by gently pulling them apart into a V-shape and securing them to bamboo stakes.
In winter, prune these secondary branches back by half. This will create a nice flush of leaves below the cut. This last pruning will also stimulate a third pair of branches that can be trained into the diamond pattern or pruned out completely if you simply want to keep a Y-shape. Avoid heavy fertilizing, which will produce more vegetative growth and little fruiting growth. | hobby |

Some blocks had a portion of whole bunch from 10-40% (Shelf, Westbank and one Quarry 10/5 vat) giving 14% over the entire blend and the remainder were 100% destemmed with lots of whole berries. The ferments had 24 to 32 days on skins with cold pre-ferment and warm post-ferment macerations. After basket pressing, the wine went into 100% new French oak, it was racked and blended after 12 months and had 6 months in tank before bottling on the 3rd of November 2017 with a pH of 3.6, TA of 5.5 g/L, and alcohol of 13%. 6,360 bottles were produced.
Complex nose with lifted aromatics of exotic florals, violet and red fruit. Savoury hints of sandalwood and spice with underlying earthy and dried herb notes. The palate is dynamic and detailed, first impressions being of elegance and taut, linear length with fine chalky tannins that unfold to reveal a silken texture with a plushness of volume extending the length, focusing the fruit and floral aspects of the aromatics onto the finish
From an extraordinary, close-planted site in north Canterbury that was formerly a lime quarry. All of this raised and reared by the wonderful Sherwyn Veldhuizen and Marcel Giesen. An amazing project and vision realised in amazing wines. This has purity, shimmering beauty and tension writ large. It feels pretty and perfumed to sniff on, sour cherry, wild herbs, faint cedar and clove. Flavours mesh light and frisky, more of the sour cherry and wild herb, though there’s a distinct stony minerality that trails long through the wine’s epic length. Texture here is incredible. So much detail in the wine too. An outstanding wine. 97 Points – Drink 2020 – 2035. Mike Bennie, The Wine Front. | hobby |

To ensure their health and vibrancy, maintain them in a tank with stable water conditions: a temperature between 72-78°F (22-26°C) and a pH level around 6.0-7.0. Neon Tetras thrive in soft, slightly acidic water.
Offer plenty of swimming space, along with live or artificial plants for shelter and security. Their diet should consist of high-quality flake foods, small pellets, and occasional live or frozen treats to replicate their natural insect-based diet.
Neon Tetras are peaceful and should be kept in schools of at least six to display their stunning schooling behaviour. With proper care, they will add beauty and charm to your tropical aquarium. | hobby |

The 1st thing you have to do is mount the bracket to the box, which is a lot harder than it sounds. It's only 4 bolts, but the 2 at the bottom of the bracket were a pain. A socket wouldn't fit, and an open end wrench was too wide and a box end was too thick. So I made a tool by grinding an 11/16" box end wrench down pretty darn thin. I put it on and ran it tight with my impact. I was feeling pretty good...until I realized that with everything tightened up, there's no room to get the wrench off since the bolt sticking through is too close to the bracket. No problem, I loosened up the nut and got the wrench off. Then I cut a small pie shaped piece out of the box end so i could slip it off the bolt after everything was tight. It looked kind of like a skinny flare wrench by the time I was finished. Not the prettiest specialty tool made, but very effective. Once I got done with that, I had about an 1/8" off the box that hung over the mounting bracket. Hit it with the grinder and took it down flush, this will enable me to mount the box flush against the frame.
To install the box on the frame I need to do a couple more things. I decided to replace the Pitman arm seal on the steering box. When I pulled the old Toyota arm off, I had to use a little heat on it so I was a little concerned that I may have melted the seal a little bit. Plus, who knows how old the original was? So I dug out the old seal and went to get it replaced. Ordered one at NAPA, but the one they showed me wasn't the same as the one I took out so I didn't buy it. Still need to find the right one and put it in. Paint the box and bracket and I'm in business. I'll take some pictures of everything if I get another chance to work on it soon. | hobby |

I saved each image to a new folder as a jpeg. Once I scanned all of my images I then opened my Illustrator program and created a new file. My book format was 7x7 inches, so I opened my new file to 14x7. This allowed me to work on two pages as one. I drew a line down the middle to divide my pages. I then opened the scanned images by clicking on file-place. When all of my sketches were opened I then started to collage them according to the layout of those pages. I used the opacity slider on some of my images. This allowed me to overlap my drawings while being able to see everything at once. I scaled each sketch and moved it into place accordingly until I felt it looked right.

Our Mouser project cart has most of the necessary components.
Note that the rotary switches stocked at Mouser have a longer shaft than the ones shipped with the kit; this can be fixed with a Dremel, since they will be covered with knobs anyway.
The 74HC7014N buffer in DIP has been obsolete for some time, and as of 2017 is becoming difficult to acquire. No drop-in replacement appears to exist. An alternative is to purchase the 74HC7014D in SOIC, and use a SOIC-14 to DIP-14 adapter. If you are not comfortable with a small amount of SMT soldering, or simply want the convenience, an adapter with pre-soldered IC can be ordered from Proto Advantage using Digikey part number 1727-6342-1-ND.
Check that your kit contains all of the parts listed in the BOM above before starting. All components of the DU-RDT are through-hole parts, and the placement is largely obvious from the drill footprint and silkscreen. Pay attention to the resistor values and the orientations of the diodes, LEDs, and ICs. The soldering order is not critical; the suggested order tries to make it easy to solder some of the more tightly spaced components while adding the more fragile semiconductor components later in the process. Note that the 78L05 is optional, and should not be populated when using the 16-pin bus header.
Step 1: Eurorack bus header
The 16-pin Eurorack bus header is the only component soldered to the back of the PCB, as indicated by the silkscreen outline. Solder this header first, as shown. Make sure it is flush against the PCB.
Optional: If you do not have a 5V rail on your Eurorack bus, you may use a 10-pin header, soldered to the bottom 5 pairs of pads, and add a 78L05 voltage regulator in TO-92 package (not supplied in the kit) where labeled.
Step 2: Register delay selector switches
Solder the two large 8-position rotary selector switches to their positions at the top-center of the PCB. The curved spring portion should be oriented upward. Solder the side tabs first, then the pins.
Step 3: Pattern lock switch
Solder the 6-pin pushbutton switch to its position directly below the two selector switches. It has a locator peg that should fit the corresponding hole in the PCB to ensure correct orientation. Make sure it is flush against the PCB.
Step 4: IC sockets
Solder all five 14-pin DIP sockets. Ensure that the notched end of the sockets are oriented according to the silkscreen, and that they are flush against the PCB.
Step 5: Decoupling capacitors
Solder all five decoupling capacitors. Their orientation is not important.
Step 6: Resistor identification
The next step is to begin soldering the resistors, so at this point, take a moment to gather, identify, and sort the resistors in the kit according to the following chart matching color bands to values.
Check the resistances with a multimeter if unsure.
Step 7: Resistors
All resistors are mounted vertically, with one lead curved in a U shape so that it is parallel to the other lead. The resistor body (i.e. the straight lead) will sit in the circle marked on the silkscreen. Make sure that the curved leads will not contact the inner surface of the panel! You can use one of the 3.5mm jacks as a guide: the top of the resistor lead should not protrude beyond the height of the black plastic.
Step 8: Diodes
Solder all six 1N4148 diodes. They should be oriented such that the stripe on the diode aligns with the stripe on the silkscreen.
Step 9: Tactile switch
Solder the 13mm tactile switch in the top left corner of the PCB. Its orientation is not important.
Step 10: Input jacks
Solder the four input jacks along the left side of the PCB. Ensure that they are flush against the PCB.
Step 11: LEDs
Insert the LEDs into their spacers and solder to the locations shown. Ensure that the long (positive) lead is oriented according to the + symbol on the silkscreen. When soldering, take care to keep the LEDs straight and vertical, and make sure there is snug contact between the PCB surface, spacer, and bottom surface of the LED body.
Step 12: Transistors
Solder the five 2N3904 transistors to the locations shown, ensuring the orientation matches the silkscreen.
Step 13: Output jacks
Solder the five output jacks along the right side of the PCB. Ensure that they are flush against the PCB.
Step 14: IC seating
Insert each of the five ICs to the correct socket on the PCB (the part number visible on the silkscreen through the socket should match the part number on the IC). Ensure that the orientation is correct; the notched end or the end marked with a dot should be aligned with the notched end of the socket.
Step 15: Front panel
Carefully place the front panel over the switches, jacks, and LEDs. Screw the supplied washer and nut onto each of the two rotary switches and tighten them down. Screw the supplied knurled nuts onto each of the 3.5mm jacks and tighten them down. Add the D-shaft knobs to the rotary switches and press down carefully until they are fully seated. Add the black switch cap to the pushbutton switch and press down until it snaps on fully.
Step 16: Power cable
Tightly crimp the IDC connectors to the ends of the ribbon cable as show in the image, ensuring that the key is facing inward, and that the arrow aligns with the red stripe. Fold the ribbon cable back over the top of the connector, and snap on the strain relief clip. | hobby |

Clash of Clans is a free, multiplayer mobile strategy game from Supercell. Join the Clash community with millions of players from all over the world. Build a village, train your troops, brew spells, and defend your turf. Unlock clans and unite with others to share troops or request reinforcements for more firepower in attack and defense. Attack players from around the world in multiplayer mode or defeat the Goblin Horde in single player mode. Fight wars against enemy clans for glory and to earn bonus loot, Clan XP, and Clan perks. After building your base, training your troops and scouting your enemies, prepare for battle. Earn war stars with the best attack on a base. At the end of wars, each successful attack earns your castle gold and elixir. Gold and elixir is needed to build and reload protective defenses. Gold and elixir can be earned in single player mode as well. Builders upgrade buildings and by default you get two. When your builders are busy, you have to wait for them to finish or speed the process with gems. You can get up to five builders using gems. You can even use gems to train your army, upgrade your troops, and “boost” buildings like barracks and resource productions. Gems are also used as currency. The easiest and safest way to acquire gems is buying them through in-app purchases. While playing the game, you can earn gems by clearing obstacles on your base like trees, mushrooms, or gem boxes. If you don’t use your gems on speeding up processes, you can save gems and they will start to accumulate. Gems are awarded when you complete certain achievements, or when you reach a milestone.
In Game Activities to Earn Gems
- Remove obstacles like rocks, mushrooms and trees – remember to leave space for more plants to grow, giving you more to remove, thus earning more gems
- 5 removed obstacles earn you 5 gems
- 50 removed obstacles earn you 10 gems
- 500 removed obstacles earn you 20 gems
- Upgrade buildings, steal gold, complete the Campaign, unlock units like the Dragon and Archer to earn up 20 gems
Achievements that earn gems:
- Friend in Need (providing your allies with reinforcements): 250 gems
- League All-Star (advancing through CLash of Clans league
- Crystal League: 250 gems
- Master League: 1,000 gems
- Champion: 2,000 gems
- Firefighter (destroy your opponent’s Inferno Towers) – destroy 5,000 towers: 1,000 gems
- War Hero (win stars for your clan in War Battles) – 1,000 stars: 1,000 gems
- Spoils of War (collect gold from Clan War bonuses) 100,000,000 gold: 1,000 gems
- Earn trophies by winning in multiplayer games – whether you attack or are attacked, you can win (and also lose) trophies
- Get 1250 trophies: 450 gems
- Get 2000 trophies: 250 gems
- Get 2600 trophies: 1000 gems
- Get 3200 trophies: 2000 gems
- Get 150 War stars: 200 gems
Supercell also holds monthly forum contests that award its winners with thousands of gems. Rules and specifics change each month and some contests even earn your entire clan lots of gems. Some months even reward multiple users. March, 2017 saw 6 users each winning 2,000 gems. For Android devices, you can install the Google Opinion Rewards app. Completing marketing surveys will reward you with Google Play credit, which you can spend on Clash of Clans gems. The app is safe and most surveys are short. The app is only available for Android and not iOS devices. There are sites that claim to be gem generators and offer to get you unlimited gems. These sites are most likely spyware and you could be giving someone else your personal information or control of your account. Clash of Clans servers are highly secured and Clash of Clans will ban you for using some of these cheats. You should proceed with extreme caution when considering one of these options. Supercell warns users against hacks – iTunes and Google Play are the only places you can get more gems. Clash of Clans has their own resource generator, which is your safest and most secure choice.
