View Full Version : Adventure! is mainly done.
I've finished the major strokes of the conversion for the Adventure! system by White Wolf. If you're interested in seeing it, I've got a couple screenshots (png, 871k & 838k) posted here (http://www.onthequest.com/upload/advref.png) and here (http://www.onthequest.com/upload/advscreen.png).
It's was created using a lot of pulp imagery and sources (rayguns, aliens, and other such things). Since the cover of the book is formatted to look like a dime novel, I put that in for the rules reference. I'll post some charactersheet and other images later, but PM me if you're interested.
Very cool... not familiar with the game system, but I love the work you've done.
I've finally finished everything I'm going to do for this one (at least I'm long done with everything I need to play) and the graphics are finally all tweaked and done.
What follows are some screens of the character sheet and what I put in the portraits folder. I've also brought up some of the images from the first adventure, at the World's Fair (I'm relocating the 1939 Fair to 1929).
Wow. That is hugely impressive. I LOVE the pictures for the portaits and being used during the game.
Looks like the character sheet took a lot of work. Well done!
I just have to say.... WOW!
The base.xml has a reference to it. It'll tile whatever texture you set, so make sure it's a true texture as opposed to a nice picture.
The bottom line here is: do you have permission to convert Adventure! to a Fantasy Grounds ruleset *AND* distribute it? I have to believe the answer to that is no, else you probably would have said so. Thing is, you need written permission to do something like this from the publishing company. It wouldn't be as big of a deal if you were doing this only for yourself, but if you *pass* this around to even one other person or put it up for download by the community (whether you charge money or not) that is a major copyright violation. Unless I'm mistaken Adventure! does not fall under any sort of Open License Agreement like d20, which means reproduction of any kind is against the law.
As a publisher and industry person I have to protest this for several reasons, the largest being I don't want FANTASY GROUNDS to become a *vessel* for copyright infringement. The last thing SmiteWorks needs is an international lawsuit against them because their property has become the center of a controversy in the RPG community. I'm not saying this is going to happen, but it is a possibility if people violate copyright using thier software.
What if a publisher (like Code Monkey) wants to approach White Wolf to *legally* work with SmiteWorks and get their products into FG -- such as World of Darkness? If there are violations out there (case in point) against their copyrights -- regardless of whether or not their are currently in production -- the answer is going to be a resounding *NO*. Same goes for any other company out there that does not have an Open License Agreement.
While I'm not a lawyer, I've been in the gaming industry over 10 years and I've seen this time and time again. Since I plan to publish adventures (and possibly rulesets) in Fantasy Grounds I have to protest this *IF* you plan to distribute this w/o written permission from White Wolf. Who knows ... they may say yes and everything would be happy in Mudville. Or, if you plan to horde this ruleset for yourself and run games for the community then that is another story. But, if you post these ruleset files online w/o proper permission it will be considered against the law. For those of us trying to legally contribute to the FANTASY GROUNDS community as publsihers and enthusists stuff like this extremely hurts our efforts.
I really hate to be the bad guy here, especially since it looks like Zane did a tremendous job, but in the end you can't do stuff like this w/o permission -- plain and simple.
Thanks for the comments, and let me be the first to note that they are charitably hypothetical ("*IF* you plan to do this, then there could be legal trouble..."). I figured this would come up, which is why I only posted screen captures. I'm content not to distribute it without the permissions you describe, not least because I've waited years for something like FG to come along, and I wish them every success in making this the best piece of software it can be.
At present I have been considering a "light" version that contained none of the game rules information in the reference. I.e., the monsters and reference sections of the ruleset would be blank or include only example templates (entirely made up by me). I could just include steps on how and what to edit to put that info in for those who had the rulebook.
The main advantage of making this available to others would be the character sheet, NPC sheets, and revised reference information contained in the database folder. The character sheet has been publically available on WW's site for some time, the NPC sheets are derivative of that, and the reference information would be blank, which means there would be nothing in the proposed "light" version that infringes on WW's IP as far as I can see. From this ruleset, others could adapt and develop other WW-based rulesets since the lion's share of development time was the mentioned elements, and I'm sure that would be a benefit to fans of the games as well as being an incentive to buy WW's gamebooks.
Apart from that, I'm not sure I see any troubling legalities in regards to the non-game materials. If you do, please feel free to point them out, I'm glad you have already done so.
Actually, light or not WW could still make a case for legal action *if* you distribute it in any way, shape, or form. The character sheet aside, the fact you have rules, names, terms, and other "points" specific to the Adventure! game makes it a violation. I'm assuming you have an actual copy of the game, so take a look at the legal statement attached.
Now, all that said there are other "options" you could pursue, some of which include going to WW and asking them for permission. If you would like help with this send me an email off forum ([email protected]) and I'll be happy to help you out. Like I said, I think you did an outstanding job on this, and anything I can do to help would be the least I could do since your intentions seem to be good.
Again, thanks for your generous offer. Last night I penned a brief email to WW's licensing department asking about this. I haven't heard back from them, but I did find some useful and interesting information based on their fansite kit here (http://www.white-wolf.com/darkspiral/signup.html).
That isn't an answer to the question we've been asking per se, but I found it informative nonetheless. When I hear from them, I'll let you guys know.
Also, I found TONS more portraits when I started looking around for pictures of silent movie actors and stills of the old Republic Serials--Look up a pair of villains named "Lightning" and "Dr. Satan" for some fantastic stuff in this genre if you're interested.
Good luck then Zane, and thanks for following the proper channels!
Did you ever get a reply from WW?
Sadly, nothing yet. I'm actually letting Thore use his industry contacts to try that route out. What I wanted to do, I've done though, since I've got something I can use on my own. Not sure that helps you guys out, but if I hear something I'll let you know.
Was anyone interested in playing Adventure?
What I really wanted to use this for would be World of Darkness, Vampire, and Werewolf. I have not heard of Adventure and have no idea what it is about.
There are some pretty heavy copyrights on WoD, VtR, and WtF. You can pretty much guarentee yourself a lawsuit if you're caught building and distributing such a ruleset w/o permission or a licensing agreement.
I just got FG and I am extremely interested in using it for Adventure!, though the D20 version actually. But those pics look fantastic of your setup. I'd actually want to use those more than anything, and just apply the d20 template to Adventure!
Well, do you think you may find time to speak with WW about those as well? I guess if they let you have Adventure, they would be willing to let you have it all. I personally do not plan on building anything because I simply do not have the patience and talent.
Just got FG today and I'm still at the stage where it confuses the life outa me.
I play D20 and WW and would also like to be able to find/make rulesets for VtR, WtF or other nWOD games... but right now that seems like a distant dream. A Ravenloft ruleset would also be great!
I've not even played any games on FG yet, but would definately be interested in taking part in an Adventure! game. I have the WW version and it's one of these games that I've always wanted to play, but my RPG group isn't willing to drop their existing game for.
Was well impressed by the screenshots btw.
Hey friends, just a quick note since I'm not as regular here as I used to be. First, changing the graphics is relatively easy, even if finding the graphics and editing them is not. There are already good pointers out there on how to begin creating your own ruleset, and if you just wanted a desktop change, then you can just begin from a default ruleset (with the graphics.xml in your data folder updated appropriately) and substitute the graphics as needed.
With regards to other WW games, it probably wouldn't take much adjustment to the Adventure! ruleset to make that happen, although it's not something I've got time for at present. I may be revisiting the idea of running a game of Adventure! again soon, so stay tuned, and perhaps I'll be able to fill in some further details anon.
Does someone have links to the tutorials? I found one very short one, and the ones on 4 Ugly Monsters, but what else is out there?
I've actually been working on a tutorial of my own which shows how I do rulesets. There will be two parts to it, and I'm almost finished with the first (I think). I'll let you know more, and I'm currently kind of busy, but if I can squeeze it out, I will.
I'd love to see the tutorial. I've been working on a ruleset myself and designing a more interactive character sheet like you have really interests me. Great job. Looks fantastic! How big are the graphic file sizes for those if you don't mind me asking. Mine keep hovering anywhere from 100-350k each in PNG! Not good.
My biggest file of the character sheet frames is 101k, the smallest is about 52k. The best way to do non-numeric/non-text controls that I found is to use the multistate control and just draw what possible states you think you want to use.
I've got a notion to finish that tutorial soon, but I have to get the MSRD done first, so look for it in March some time I'd guess.
Any word on that tutorial? I am deffinately interested in it.
I haven't gotten back to it lately, but I think I shall shortly. Sorry for baiting and not following up. Good to hear you're interested, I'll see if I can work it out shortly.
Any news on this Zane?
I'm also very interested in seeing that tutorial as I have a little project in mind :) If I ever get enough time to work on it.

French Claim Assad Still Using Chemical Weapons in Syria
Paul Winters April 21, 2014 0 Views
French leaders announced that there are significant reasons to believe that Syrian forces continue to use chemical weapons on their own citizenry in its effort to crack down on opposition targets.
Appearing on the Europe 1 radio show this weekend, French President Francois Hollande indicated his government had "a few elements of information" that government forces in Syria are behind recent chlorine gas attacks in at least three towns, although he stressed that at the moment concrete proof was still lacking.
While French intelligence officials work to substantiate the claim, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabuis told the radio station that they have received "indications" of the attacks. While noting they were "less significant" that those taking place near Damascus in August of last year, they appeared to be very deadly.
Since the horrific attacks in August, French intelligence has maintained close communications with Syrian opposition forces and believes information will come forward shortly to verify these fears. The attacks in Damascus killed nearly 1,400 people in rebel strongholds near of the capital, prompting US President Barack Obama to threaten a military strike against Assad. US Secretary of State John Kerry negotiated a deal with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov which called on Syria to have destroyed its entire stockpile of chemical weapons by June, 2014.
The United Nations Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons announced Saturday that they were confident Syria had destroyed approximately 80 percent of its chemical arsenal, but sources concede the Bashar al-Assad regime remains weeks behind the agreed upon implementation schedule.
Given the recent tensions between the United States and Russia over the latter nation's alleged violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and the continuous flouting of international law by aggressor nations, skeptics around the globe have openly questioned if the United Nations can be counted on to enforce the agreement.
Putin's recent action in the Ukraine furthermore gives cause to doubt Russia's intentions and ability to serve as an honest broker regarding Syria, a long time Russian ally. In an ever brewing global chess match, western allies continue to stay a step behind as an anxious world worries that their reluctance to exert their strength will further embolden a growing "axis of evil," who have continued to violate international law with impunity.
It was Irish statesman Edmund Burke who was famously quoted as saying, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Q: Change between styles according to active I'm trying to switch between list view and grid view using the code below (not working cause I have no idea how to switch between active and not active):
// List view
<button className={styles.viewBtn `${view === 'list' ? 'active': ''}`} onClick={() => setView('list')} type="button" title="List View">
     // <svg>
</button>

// Grid view
<button className={styles.viewBtn `${view === 'grid' ? 'active': ''}`} onClick={() => setView('grid')} type="button" title="Grid View">
    // <svg>
</button>

So to style the buttons I do import styles from ./styles.less and here's my css for the buttons:
.viewBtn {
    width: 36px;
    height: 36px;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    padding: 6px;
    border-radius: 4px;
    background-color: transparent;
    border: none;
    color: var(--main-color);
    margin-left: 8px;
    transition: .2s;

    &.active {
      background-color:  rgba(195, 207, 244, 0.2);
      color: #fff;
    }

    &:not(.active):hover {
      background-color:  rgba(195, 207, 244, 0.1);
      color: #fff;
    }
}

How do I switch between .active and :not(.active) for the style of the buttons? And would .active work in React?

A: your css would be like this
   .viewBtn {
      ... your btn css
    }

    /* Style the active class, and buttons on mouse-over */
    .active, .viewBtn :hover {
      background-color:  rgba(195, 207, 244, 0.1);
      color: #fff;
    }

in jsx use like this
className={`viewBtn ${view === 'list'? 'active': ''}`}

Oil paint - material which perform the role of a synthetic or natural varnish . The main drawback of oil paint is its propensity to aging (which entails the loss of color , the level of adhesion and elasticity ) . In addition, explicit " outs " are low weatherability and created decorative coatings, long drying time (at least daily) . Most commonly used oil paints in living conditions for staining wood , concrete, metal and other surfaces. Almost completely out of the market paints enamels and alkyd paints , which replaced , in turn, are water-based paints .
Frost resistance - a material property of being able to maintain their performance at the proper level when exposed to negative temperatures . This concept applies to both the paintwork and directly to LMC . In the second case investigated how well a material can maintain its properties after thawing. Assessment of the level produced by the number of frost cycles of freezing / thawing , no significant impact on the characteristics of the material . According to the state standards called frost paint , if it is able to withstand up to five such cycles.
Fire resistance - the ability of materials to counter the open flame . To determine the fire resistance using special stands. Classification is performed based on the fire resistance of the time interval during which the test material does not lose its important design or structural properties , the opposite surface temperature does not exceed 220 degrees, not having through holes capable of passing through the combustion products themselves . Fire resistance of wood and metal building materials and structures is increased by staining. It uses a special fire-retardant materials , paints and varnishes , which are composed of flame retardants .
Called finely powdered pigment ( particle size not exceeding 0.01 micrometer ) crystalline material that is insoluble in organic solvents and water. That pigment ( black, colored and white ) is the only component of paint, which is determined by its consumption . Pigments may be either artificial or mineral origin . Currently in the paint industry increasingly popular artificial pigments, largely due to their higher stability , richness and purity. To change the base color inks are special pigment paste comprising a pigment which is dispersed and subjected to a treatment of surface- active additives . This makes it possible to introduce a pigment into paint without significant shear .
Polymers - this organic compound whose molecules are a large number of repeating units of monomers. If the main chain of the macromolecule consists of identical units , the polymers are gomotsepnym . Otherwise (main circuit includes different structure inclusion ) are called hetero- polymers . Polyurethane , polyvinyl acetate and polyacrylic polymers used in aqueous paint systems consisting of film formers .
LMC is a bundle of heterogeneous process areas of paint placed in a container. At the bottom is thus precipitate on the surface and - a transparent substance . In such situations, after mixing paint can completely recover their initial characteristics . The reason may be the bundle LMC coagulation dispersion systems ( for example , the bundle is often the result of freezing paint).
Lightfastness - property paint is its ability to resist the influence of the sun's rays . This term is used mainly in relation to the binder material and determines the possibility of outdoor use. Furthermore pigment fading that depends on the color stability , degradation may occur film formed by a paint material, which usually manifests as clouding or yellowing varnish and paint. To correct level of light fastness can use special additives UV absorbers .
Hardness is called one of the main operational and mechanical properties of industrial paintwork - the ability of the paint film to resist the effects of strain or the process of destruction under the influence of external loads. To determine the hardness of the paint film can be used static methods scratching and squeezing . For this purpose, the test coverage is pressed obviously much more solid. When this estimate is made of the desired force or deformation is measured under a given load (e.g. , the diameter of the trace resulting from the impact of the tip of a spherical shape). Hardness scarring can also be measured as the force required for the remaining track . The second option - estimate the amount of deformation is obtained by external influence. Besides, for evaluation of hardness may be used and the dynamic methods . For example , the hardness is determined by the damping of the oscillations of the pendulum in contact with a surface coated with coatings .


This is so good, that I can't even. Jesse is amazing as ever (another great ending) and with Adele you never know who is actually doing therapy to who.
And I intend to do the whole season. Even if most of the topics will be unanwsered.
But since you mentioned it.
"And Adele is fantastic, i love her already, Paul is going to have a crush on her, putting him in Laura's (and Mia's?) shoes. Just a lame prediction. Looking forward to new episodes!"
I hit that hard, not too difficult to predict, but still a bullseye. Great episodes, love this show!

Guess what? Spring Break is coming up. Will you "break" or "spring" it up? No clue for me at this point for the Taylor household #behindthe8ball.
Clearly, spring break is the onset to get your "ish" together for the summer. You have about two months before the mayhem of kids everywhere but can look forward to lighter traffic and less driving across America to ALL the kid activities–maybe.
Weather: It appears winter and spring are confused. They probably should have a conversation and get it right so we can go back outside and get some Vitamin D.
Family: If you're like me, involve family in some form. Hopefully, you'll get a call similar to "hey, want to bring the kids over?" YESSSSSSS.
Activity/Trips: The park, museum, and painting look real good right about now and anything free! I'm sure I'll have to call A-T-and M several times during the week.
Break – And after everything is turned upside down or possibly broken, I'll need a BREAK!
The silver lining – our kids are happy, healthy, and we all continue to provide wonderful experiences. Parents unite, try to have a blast, and remember the importance of wine. Cheers!

Top Five Neurology CRO
Neurology CRO
Vial CRO
Vial Neurology CRO is a tech-enabled CRO that delivers next-generation clinical trial management services. Vial's eSource and EDC technology platforms connect the entire trial process, resulting in faster and more efficient trials. Vial's services help accelerate the development of new devices and therapies.
Vial's goal is to empower scientists to find the most effective ways to treat all human diseases. The company's innovative technology platform, site networks, and operational excellence enable the organization to meet these goals. Vial currently employs more than 125 people and has contributed to over 750 clinical trials. Its centralized office is located in San Francisco. The company's innovative approach to recruitment has led to increased efficiency and patient recruitment.
Vial has recently expanded its oncology expertise. It has hired Dr. Neeraj Agarwal to join its scientific advisory board and use his experience to improve clinical trials. Agarwal has extensive experience in clinical research, serving as a senior director of clinical research innovation at Huntsman Cancer Institute and as a consultant to the FDA's Oncology Drug Advisory Committee. He also leads the SWOG Cancer Research Network's early therapeutics program.
Precision in neurology research is an approach that can help physicians develop more effective treatments for patients with neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders. But, it requires more sophisticated tools than simple genetic markers.
To succeed, it must integrate genomics data, clinical phenotype data, and human biology to determine druggable targets. Precision in neurology may be possible, thanks to a new toolbox of advanced techniques and technologies.
The availability of reliable genetic and phenotypic information for the development of a novel drug for neurodevelopmental disorders has posed a major challenge for research. Currently, there is no standardized way to determine the cause of a neurodevelopmental disorder, and diagnostic endorsement is often subjective and based on expert opinion.
Additionally, because the clinical picture of neurodevelopmental disorders can change over time, the availability of reliable information is limited. Additionally, the lack of appropriate preclinical models poses another hurdle for the development of novel therapies for neurodevelopmental disorders. However, the advent of human-induced pluripotent stem cell technology may solve these issues.
The market for neurology contract research organizations has grown significantly due to the growing focus on neurological disorders. For example, the Parkinson's Foundation's Parkinson's Prevalence Project estimates that one million Americans will have the disease by the year 2030. This increase in focus on neurological disorders is expected to continue to boost the market for neurology CROs.
QPS is a GLP/GCP-compliant CRO that offers a full range of drug discovery, preclinical, and clinical services to biotechnology, Pharma, and medical device companies. It is located in the US, Europe, and Asia, and has over 1150 employees. Its services encompass Neuropharmacology, Translational Medicine, and Toxicology.

This small butterfly, which is in severe decline, has a mottled grey-brown moth-like look, and is easily confused with the grizzled skipper. It can be seen flitting about in May and June.
The distribution and population of the dingy skipper is in serious decline mainly due to loss of habitat. It is a species of conservation concern and a UK Biodiversity Action Plan priority species.
There are many garden flowers which provide nectar attractive to both butterflies and bees. If you want to attract butterflies try and ensure that you have some nectar producing plants in flower from late winter and early spring all the way through until late summer and autumn. There are a huge range of plants that butterflies will feed from but among the best are mint, catmint, marjoram, oregano, buddleia, iceplant, honesty, sweet rocket, lavender and wallflowers.
The nectar from ivy flowers in autumn is very attractive to red admiral butterflies. Remember too that fallen fruit in autumn will be fed upon by red admirals, commas and peacock butterflies.
When roosting, the dingy skipper perches in a moth-like fashion with its wings curved in a position not seen in any other British butterfly.
The dingy skipper is a small butterfly which has a rather moth-like appearance. Its general colouration is a mottled dull grey-brown, with a row of small white dots along the outer margins of its wings. It is possible to confuse this species with the grizzled skipper, which may occur at the same sites, but has a much more obvious black and white chequered patterning on both the upperside and underside of its body. The dingy skipper has a fast flight, flitting along low to the ground, and can be difficult to follow. This species can spend long periods basking on warm stones or bare earth.
The dingy skipper likes open, sunny habitats such as chalk downland and heathland. It is not a very common or widespread butterfly in Norfolk, but can be found in Breckland and at NWT Narborough Railway Line reserve which is a rare, Norfolk, example of a chalk grassland habitat.
The butterfly can be seen flying in May and June. There may also be a small second brood in August. The main food plant of the dingy skipper caterpillar is bird's-foot-trefoil, a member of the pea family. Adults also feed on bird's-foot-trefoil, and other yellow flowers including, horseshoe vetch, buttercup and hawkweed.
You can help to survey and monitor this species if it is found in areas near you, or help with conservation work to maintain its habitat.

The words 'lofty', 'sublime' and 'death' do not normally go hand in hand, but in Darwin Chorale's forthcoming concert, Fauré Requiem, those themes are seamlessly bridged.
For composer Gabriel Fauré, death is likened to going to sleep, and his outlook is therefore introverted and lullaby-like.
The traditional Catholic mass is caressed in a way that the listener is soothed by what Fauré called the "very human feeling of faith in eternal rest".
Chorale program manager Annette Gore says the show, under the direction of music director Digby Barrow, will be performed on Palm Sunday in the lead up to Easter.
"We always do an Easter concert of some description and we've gone back to Fauré because it suits the time of year," she says.
"We'll be singing two pieces - the Fauré Requiem, and one of Bach's motets - Jesu, meine Freude

Get my recipe for the best hot chocolate which included three hot cocoa recipes you can make at home. Enjoy the hot chocolate yourself or give as a gift!
Thank you SO much for all of the Holiday Home Tour love! In case you missed it, you can check out my 2014 Holiday Decor HERE.
What's the holiday season (or winter, in general) without several cups of the best hot chocolate? Seasonal gatherings and cold winter days just seem to deserve something warm and chocolaty.That's why Day 9 of the 12 Days of Christmas is all about my hot cocoa recipe and a hot chocolate bar.
I don't know about you, but lately I've been noticing ideas for hot cocoa bars / stations popping up around the Internet. I was desperate for one of my own so I repurposed a corner of my dining room. Let me show you.
First off, I added the best hot chocolate. For my bar, I came up with three recipes: milk chocolate, white chocolate, and spiced chocolate. (We will get to those shortly.) Everyone loves variety, so I thought this was a good number. I stored the different mixes in vintage mason jars I found on eBay.
Then, I arranged an area of toppings. I provided candy canes, peppermint sticks, and of course, mini marshmallows. Some other possibilities would be toffee, extra chocolate chips, and cherries.
To make this more of an adult hot cocoa bar, I raided my liquor cabinet for things to spike the hot cocoa. Among the liquor selections are Godvia Chocolate Liquor, Rum Chata, Irish Cream, Frangelico, and Kalua.
Some spoons, mugs, and plates nearby completed the set up.
I also tossed in a few seasonal decorations, including nutcrackers, ornaments, and some copper accessories to match the rest of the room. I even decorated a mini tree to match my official Christmas tree! With that, my bar was ready.
I think this is such a fun treat for guests who are visiting over the holidays. Don't you? Just be aware, that if you serve them hot cocoa and Christmas cookies, they may never want to leave.
I got really lucky with the jars. I actually found 24 blue vintage mason jars in wonderful condition so I decided to turn them into little hot cocoa gifts.
These are great when you need a hostess gift or something for the mail carrier or hairdresser. I think 24 should get me through the season.
I just filled the jars with my various hot cocoa mixes topped with marshmallows, tied each off with a bow, and added a label with instructions. The recipient gets to savor a delicious treat and then continue to enjoy the beautiful jar. Love that!
Okay, I've shown you my bar and impromptu gifts; now, let's talk recipes. The recipes below will provide 12 servings. When I made mine, however, I tripled the recipes. Tripling yielded enough to fill a 1 quart mason jar and 6 1/2 pint jars.
Combine all of the ingredients, except the marshmallows, in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly to combine. Place in a sealed container or divide into individual servings. One serving is 1/3 cup cocoa mix plus milk. Garnish with mini marshmallows.
To prepare the hot cocoa, place 1/3 cup cocoa mix into a mug. Pour in warmed milk. Stir until well blended. Top with mini marshmallows.
To prepare the hot cocoa, place 1/3 cup cocoa mix in a mug. Pour in warmed milk. Stir until well blended. Top with mini marshmallows.
Now that you have those three recipes, I'd also like to point out that you can make the White Chocolate and the Milk Chocolate peppermint by adding some crushed peppermints or candy candy cane. The amount is up to you. Peppermint mini marshmallows are also available at some stores, and they would also work.
That's all you need for a festive hot cocoa holiday!

Now that's a gift I'd love to get! I love that you created an easy and delicious way to achieve a homemade brew… I'm gonna try adding a few of these ingredients to my mom's recipe! Thanks for breaking that all down! The jars look AMAZING.
Your ideas are phenomenal and your pictures are beautiful!! Great ideas!! Thanks for sharing!!
Can't wait to try the Spice Chocolate Hot Cocoa, it sounds delicious!
Yummy! You could also add to your cocoa bar a stack of pretty seasonal paper napkins and chocolate dipped spoons and/or chocoalte dipped candy canes!
My favorite Christmas tree EVER is your festive rainbow tree from last year. Someday I hope to be able to duplicate myself!
I love this! I am working on a family, hot chocolate bar for this coming weekend! I can't wait!
I am in love with it all!
What an awesome idea. I will give it a try at my Christmas party. What can I use instead of the wood round?
Try an old cutting board, a cake stand, a stack of books, etc.
Absolutely love this idea. I don't drink coffee, so this would be perfect for me to have in my home. And with grandchildren coming over, they would love it. Especially with the little extras to add. Thanks Michael for another wonderful decorating tip.
I'm sure it looks great Chuck!
Ashlee – the powdered creamer just adds a creamy, smooth, velvet consistency. I've personally never made it without it, but you could certainly try. Also, this is the recipe as I like it, so I don't really have any recommended substitutions. You're certainly welcome to play with the recipe to find something that works for you.
Hi, would you be kind enough to provide a link to your printable labels for the hot cocoa? Please and thank you!
I have to say I LOVE your blog and have been frequenting it for quite some time.
I am wondering the above too, I am challenged with making printables and would love to use these for teacher gifts for my boys. Thank you!
Andrea – I'm so sorry, but I'm not great with creating and adding printables. This was just something I whipped up quickly for myself. Sorry about that!

will know our first guest speaker at the Denver Scale Up Summit last week, if you're a fan of Shark.
Creating your BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal) as Jim Collins describes and shares, is an iterative process. It rarely is achieved in a few meetings, or without completing several very important milestones for your business. Included in these are these three elements of your Hedgehog Concept: Core Purpose, Profit Per X and Brand Promise.
What Are Your First Quarter Victories?
My plan for this blog originally was the irony of freedom. The past three days working with an enthusiastic and dedicated group of leaders from a new customer who started with me in February for a private two day Rockefeller Habits Workshop. They'd previously attended the Four Decision Workshop in November.
How can your company go from Good to Great? We've been exploring this through 12 questions Jim Collins offered his Australian business owners and Growth Summit attendees at Melbourne this February.
The final piece to the Seven Strata of Strategy is actually two pieces. Remember the Seven Strata of Strategy are from Mastering the Rockefeller Habits author, Verne Harnish. His Fortune Magazine article revealed from careful research following the last recession these specific strategies were key differentiators to increase revenue faster than competitors who didn't have these key elements identified. Companies that had these seven strategies identified outpaced their competition even during the last recession.
In The Hedgehog Concept we discussed the intersection of three circles that provide your One Thing Focus for the strategy of your business. Where do you find or discover the elements that comprise the three circles? If you've completed portions of your One Page Strategic Plan you'll have made progress toward understanding what these are.


> walks and talks, but it's a shell of the man it was before.
It depends which shell you are talking about.  If you compare with Oracle then yes probably so.   Since well we know Oracle likes their  customers a lot.
from running PostgreSQL would be dwarfed by the cost of SDE.
From what I recall we paying for SQL Server 2005 - Standard for Dual processor (they don't charge for cores and all that nonsense) -- $10,000   (I think Enterprise is about $20,000 per processor well that I'm not sure but I recall about half or more of what Oracle charges) and the cost if you wanted to get SDE ontop of that as I recall checking way back was $20,000 for SDE for 2 processors alone (so $30,000).  Granted my memory and comparison is a bit dated.
Now if they charge per Processor as I recall they used to (and god forbid cores) and you are thinking I can save a pretty penny running PostgreSQL (with tons of processors) - hmm think again.

Catamaran passengers ferry FLYING CAT 4 crashed into the port of Rafina in East Attica on Monday morning. On board were 209 passengers and 15 crew members.
The ferry crashed as it was trying to dock at the port, initial media reports said.
According to state ERT TV on early Monday afternoon, the catamaran had just left the port of Rafina for the islands when it crashed on the rocks.
The catamaran operates from/to Rafina to the Cyclades islands of Tinos, Naxos, Ios, Sikinos and Folegandros.
The incident happened at 7:15 a.m.
Vessels of the Greek Coast Guard evacuated the passengers and the crew.
According to preliminary reports, the incident occurred due to a mechanical failure. No water leaked into the catamaran, no spill into the sea.
Passengers had reportedly the choice either to board on another ferry or be transferred with buses to the Attica's main port of Piraeus, some 50 km away, where they would have more travel options.
If you have tickets with the specific ferry please contact your travel agents.


It was about six months ago (I don't know why it took so long to cause controversy) when this Latin American Snickers CM featuring ex-RBD Anahi hit the waves.
In it, Anahi is doing her usual extreme biking when she falls and starts complaining about it. Her male friends call her Carlos and tell her that whenever he's hungry he's "acting like a girl." "That's not what your girlfriend said," as she eats the snicker.
I think the director of Sixth Sense and Midnight Circus  might be my favorite director this year, though I gotta admit that Bounce is giving it a good run for its money with not only The Kingdom of Fools  and Hebe Tien's My Love  and Joey Yung's gorgeous MV hybrid with a perfume CM commercial, LOL – One Flower and a Thousand Tress .
If you don't know who directed Sixth Sense, why don't you go to YAM Magazine and search for it.
I'm also considering buying my first ever mini-album… but it's really costing me to go against my album etiquette. It's like I'm going against everything I stood for all these years. Can I do it for BEG?
This is my list of Best 2011 MVs at the moment.


The collection includes machinery and equipment to make wine, however not to grow or harvest. If the latter can be seen in many museums, our concentration lies in the collection of winery technology. Our conception is to safe objects from being scrapped and create awareness of the achieve-ments of our forebears which helped the prosperity in the trade. We display machinery in its original state in our showroom with the aim of future restoration. For a few objects – namely the formerly proud Swiss brand ELVA – we do possess complete original manufacturing documentation.

Matt Davidson (R/R)
(R/R) 1B
Davidson signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Thursday as a non-roster invitee, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
After appearing in 244 major-league games over 2017 and 2018, Davidson spent all of last season with Triple-A Nashville, where he hit .264/.339/.527 with 33 home runs and 101 RBI over 125 games. He'll get to prove himself in the Reds' major-league camp, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in the majors at some point in 2020 if he can perform well again at the Triple-A level. Jan 02 7:05 pm (EST)
Davidson was reassigned to minor-league camp Tuesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Davidson pitched in a simulated game Friday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Davidson threw a second bullpen session Tuesday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Today is Memorial Day in the U.S., a day to honor the men and women who have given their lives in our military. I want to do something a bit different for Memorial Day this year and honor an Air Force veteran who is still with us: Mikey Weinstein, a true hero.
Weinstein founded the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) four years ago and has been the most influential defender of church-state separation in the U.S. military since that time. His organization has often worked alongside groups such as the Freedom From Religion Foundation and Americans United for Separation of Church and State on cases involving military personnel.
Stephen Glain wrote an excellent piece on Weinstein for Foreign Policy last week, and I cannot recommend it enough for those who may have missed it. Not only does it describe how Weinstein became interested in this form of activism and highlight some of his recent accomplishments, but it serves as a wake-up call to those who are still reluctant to acknowledge the well organized efforts to Christianize the U.S. armed forces.
For the past four years, the founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) has been doing battle with a Christian subculture that, he believes, is trying to Christianize the U.S. armed forces with the help of a complicit Pentagon brass. He calls it the "fundamentalist Christian parachurch-military-corporate-proselytizing complex," a mouthful by which he means holy warriors in contempt of the constitutional barrier between church and state.
I have praised Weinstein and the MRFF here many times, as he often seems to be the only thing standing in the way of a Christian extremist military. Glain quotes Weinstein as saying that the scariest part of the efforts to remake the U.S. military as a Christian extremist force is that it "is it's going on not with the blind eye of the Pentagon but with its full and totally enthusiastic support." From what I've read in The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power , this certainly seems to be the case.
Weinstein and his organization helped in Spc. Dustin Chalker's suit over being forced to participate in public prayer sessions, were key in getting Trijicon to stop engraving bible references on the rifle scopes they were selling to the U.S. military, and persuaded the Pentagon to rescind an invitation to have Christian extremist Franklin Graham speak at a National Day of Prayer Task Force service. He will likely next take up the case of Zachari Klawonn, a Muslim at Fort Hood, TX, who says that he has been harassed and subjected to anti-Islamic bigotry since the on-base shooting.
One of the things I found most interesting about Glain's profile was the revelation that most of Weinstein's clients are Christian soldiers, Catholics and mainline Protestants, who are being harassed by evangelical superiors.
The root of the problem, Weinstein believes, is a cluster of well-funded groups dedicated to Christianizing the military and proselytizing abroad.
From Sharlet's The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power , I can see the fingerprints of "The Family" all over this. In fact, the names of the organizations Weinstein provides in the article are the same Family-affiliated groups Sharlet describes. This is more than a little distressing, and it makes me appreciate Weinstein's efforts all the more.
Note: By using the "atheist heroes" label for this post, I am not claiming that Mikey Weinstein is an atheist. He has worked on behalf of atheists as well as others in the military who are not evangelical Christians, and I applaud his efforts.

Adams Gas steps up in face of helium shortage
Balloon Gas supplier Adams Gas has stepped up to offer its services to any balloon artists or party retailers currently struggling to source helium for their business needs.
With an ongoing helium shortage across the US affecting global supply and leading to supply issues and price increases in the UK market as well as internationally, balloon artists have been left unsure if they will be able to take on certain jobs or how they should accurately quote for work in the face of steep cost hikes.
Adams Gas has come forward in light of these recent developments to offer its services to anyone who is either struggling to order helium or has been subject to an unexpected rise in prices.
"Our supplies remain unaffected by the BOC and American issues, which enables us to continue supplies as normal," said managing director Steve Adams. "Our refillable and disposable markets remain busy in the UK and abroad, but we are still allowing ourselves plenty of scope to take on more new business."
"We have also seen significant increases in the price of bulk helium, but have done our best to reduce the impact of this on to our customers," he continued. "We currently have large stocks of disposable and refillable cylinder available for instant dispatch, which can be with balloon artists in around one to three days, depending on the area and size of order."
Refillable helium cylinders are available from Adams Gas' large stockist network throughout the UK, while disposables are available direct from the company itself. New customers can either phone on 01843 220596 or email sales@adamsgas.co.uk for more information.

Zaremba Bespoke: Survival of the Fitter
The name Zaremba is a derivative of Polish zarabac 'to hack or chop', belying the beautifully cut suits on offer at a tailoring house whose history is entwined with politics, performance art and personality.
Jonathan Edwards photographed by Jamie Ferguson.
For a tailoring house headed up by its fifth generation patriarch and with over a century of clients on its books, Zaremba Bespoke has recently blossomed above the dense canopy of bespoke tailoring. With deep roots in Poland's capital, Maciej Zaremba has fine-tuned the family business, which dates back to late 19thcentury Warsaw.
"There's not really such a thing as a 'Polish' tailoring style, but I intend on changing that," Maciej asserts, and it's easy to see his point. The British tailoring houses have their roped shoulders, sculpted chests and military provenance, their drape cuts and their hourglass figures. The Italians have their lightweight fabrics, unlined structures, experimental colours and soft shoulders. It's not impossible to make an educated guess when you come across a peaked lapel or hand-stitched buttonhole as to whom made it, which makes it all the more intriguing to come across a suit you simply can't place.
Not too long ago, in aroom full of bespoke addicts, impeccably dressed men and women, craftsmen and menswear authorities, not one was able to predict that one of the most beautiful suits present was in fact made in Poland. Worn byJonathan Edwards, who describes himself as a businessman but has gained recognition for being astreet style photographer's dream, the double-breasted button-two-show-three, off-white VBC suit was a true head turner. "Coming from outside the two established tailoring cradles, Italy and the UK, I have no choice but to differentiate or die," Maciej explains. A little dramatic? Not really, when you consider that under his grandfather and father, the family tailoring legacy survived two world wars and the post-war communist era. "That period did not spare my grandfather, Tadeusz – he faced regular searches and confiscations. The newly-established communist government did not appreciate the bourgeois elegance. Materials were rationed, so good fabric had to be sourced on the black market or smuggled from abroad." Maciej recalls frequent visits from the secret police and special hiding places in the atelier for prohibitedEnglish wool.
The shop's survival, then, is testament to its unfailing delivery of good, old-fashioned quality wares. "Bespoke became very rare – many other artisans went bankrupt, and even when the communist regime fell, foreign labels flooded the market. But my grandfather had established more than a tailoring shop. In Poland he was something of a celebrity – he had built a real brand." Tadeusz kept developing the business and provided tailoring for Warsaw's "crème de la crème, diplomats and even high profile celebrities – performers from the National Philharmonic Orchestra and well-renowned cabarets." The brand stood for quality, and a suit by Zaremba was considered a great luxury, a status symbol of sorts. "Even during the toughest times we kept the quality level high, which many could not keep up."
Above: a fitting from the Zaremba archive.
Today, Maciej sources his cloths from Loro Piana, Ariston, Drapers and BritishHuddersfield mills. "Our best seller is a fresco from J&J Minnis or jacketing from Loro Piana. British fabrics sell better in winter and heavy worsteds from H. Lesser." Primarily serving lawyers, businessmen and professionals, Maciej has noticed a surge in younger clientele – people beginning to take an interest once again in how their clothes are made, who makes them and where the components come from. "This is why the suit with Jonathan was so interesting. He, too, approached us about a classic grey suit. We went through sample materials together and both stopped at a cream flannel – it was a spontaneous change of direction, but it produced something spectacular." Maciej himself, however, is not a tailor. A fitter by trade, he's also the businessman driving Zaremba's success, which means the standard blue and grey business suits are the foundation, their presence vital to the business blossoming. "However, we are starting to see more customers play with their style, less people wearing suits just for the office, which is so much more interesting to work with."
Jonathan needed little persuasion. "It felt like a natural decision. I wear a lot of lighter shades, and Maciej said 'Let's do white, it'll look great on you'. I was intrigued by his aesthetic, as he doesn't conform entirely to British or Italian styles. Often when tailors are geographically not in either, they try so hard to replicate them, but he's doing his own thing." A throwback to a time gone by of filmic glamour and romance, the suit itself is almost a tribute to the beauty lost during the many years of conflict Poland experienced. "I think there is truth in that," Maciej explains, "because even in dark times, beautiful and beautifully made things bring a glimmer of hope to people."
Maciej citesSciamatand Liverano as two of his greatest inspirations, having travelled to Italy and become enchanted with the unstructured finish, but he also draws heavily on his grandfather's archive. Tellingly sparse in tougher times, it's nevertheless abundant with elaborate high-waisted trousers, hand-made details, vintage gorges and noticeably horizontal lapels, all of which he channels today. "Many years ago our style imitated the British, but I was also so impressed by the Italians. Now, we are doing something different altogether. I cannot say we have one style, because it changes every year, and we grow every year. In five years it will be a bit different, and it will never be a finished product."

Q: memory leak on iPhone iOS4? I have function for adding UILabel to my view:
UILabel* AddLabel(UIView* view,CGRect labelRect, UIStyle* labelStyle, NSString* labelText)
{
    UILabel* label = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:labelRect] autorelease];
    label.textColor = [UIColor colorWithCGColor:[ labelStyle.textColor CGColor]];
    label.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithCGColor:[labelStyle.backgroundColor CGColor]];
    label.font =[UIFont fontWithName: labelStyle.fontName] size:labelStyle.fontSize];

    label.frame = labelRect;
    label.text = labelText;
    [view addSubview:label];
    return label;
}

where UIStyle has this interface:
@interface UIStyle : NSObject {
    NSString * fontName;
    CGFloat fontSize;
    UIColor* textColor;
    UIColor* backgroundColor;
}

so when I add such label to view, I get memory leak.

And I have hundreds of them for several calls of function AddLabel.
I call it this way:
AddLabel(self.view, CGRectMake(56, 60, 88, 15), style2, @"text");

The thing is that if I comment
label.font =[UIFont fontWithName: labelStyle.fontName] size:labelStyle.fontSize];
- there is no leaks..
Why is it so? Is it a bug of iOS or anything I am doing wrong?
P.S. This leak is only visible on device.
Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!

A: Unless this leak occurs for every UIFont you create, it's not something to worry about--the OS will cleanup the leak when your application exits.
If it occurs each time a UIFont is created, perhaps your UIStyle class (which collides with Apple's namespace by the way) should cache the UIFont instead of having it recreated.
Also, you don't need the [UIColor colorWithCGColor:[labelStyle.textColor CGColor]] bit, you can just assign labelStyle.textColor

A: Try retaining the UIfont that's returned, and release it manually.
I tried this just now and it seemed to fix it for me.

A: The memory leak is caused because UIStyle class doesn't retain and release the font name properly. It should be:
@interface UIStyle : NSObject {
  NSString * fontName;
  CGFloat fontSize;
  UIColor* textColor;
  UIColor* backgroundColor;
}
@property(nonatomic, retain) NSString* fontName;
...

Also, in UIStyle implementation file that property should be synthesized and also released in dealloc function.

A: My understanding, based on a reading of the UIFont documentation, is that font objects are cached internally so that future lookups for an identical font can proceed more quickly. I'm sure the loss in memory is fairly minor, and the would-be leak seems to actually be by design, so it's not anything to worry about.
