Hacham Raphael Elashvili was born to Rivka and Joseph on 29 Nissan, 5694 (1934) in Kolashi, West Georgia. His mother was the daughter of Hacham Aharon Boterashvili, the spiritual leader of Kolashi, West Georgia. At the end of World War II, Hacham Raphael's parents moved to the city of Zugdidi to seek their livelihood. In 1948 Hacham Raphael Elashvili returned to Kolashi and lived in the home of his grandfather, Hacham Aharon Boterashvili who, along with Hacham Michel Ajiashvili, taught him Torah.
Hacham Raphael Elashvili married in 1953. In 1954 he moved with his wife to the city of Gori to serve as the Jewish community's cantor, returning to Kolashi in 1958 to serve as cantor of the city's Great Synagogue.
In 1972 Hacham Raphael Elashvili immigrated to the Land of Israel with his family and parents. He settled in the city of Lod, and served as Chief Rabbi of the Georgian Jewish community in Israel.
Hacham Raphael Elashvili passed away on 23 Sivan, 5765 (2005) and was buried in Lod.
Hacham Raphael Elashvili wrote a commentary on Ethics of Our Father, Pirkei Raphael, published with elaborations written by his student.
in which he teaches that "all Israel" unite to become one society, and that all have a place in the World to Come.
The Tanah [Mishnaic teacher] opens with "All Israel have a share in the World to Come" and then elaborates, concerning those who do not have a share in the World to Come, as follows: "One who says that resurrection of the dead is not from the Torah, [one who says that] that the Torah is not from Heaven, and one who denigrates the Torah. Rabbi Akiva says: Also one who reads outside books, and one who whispers [an incantation] over a wound, saying, (Exodus 15:26) 'I will not bring upon you any of the diseases that I brought upon the Egyptians for I the Lord am your healer' Abba Shaul says, also one who utters the Divine Name as it is spelled." End of quote. This, however, presents a question: Didn't the Tanah include all Jews who have a share in the World to Come, and then clarify in detail those who do not? If so, why did the Tanah include all Jews among those that have a share in the World to Come and then subtract those who do not? The Tanah should have started with those who have a share, and then taught about those who do not.
First solution: We are to understand that when there is unity in the nation, then "all Israel" have a share. All Israel the [Hebrew] acronym of 'all' = Cohen-Levite). When each one performs his role, Cohanim in their ritual, Levites at the duchan [the Temple platform from which the nation was blessed], and Israel maintain their prestige and when there is no superfluous strife or argument that cause divisiveness in the nation; when "all Israel" become unified as one, they all have a share in the World to Come.
Pirkei Raphael, First Chapter, pp.148 – 151, Hish Press, Ramla, 2011
in which he teaches that "all Israel" unite to become one society, and that all have a place in the World to Come
"Rav Yehuda says: One who wants to be pious should observe the matters of tractate Nezzikin. Rava said, the matters of Avot. And some say, the matters of Berakhot." Just as we are mindful about blessings, in knowing which blessing is to be recited for each and every commandment - since we must apply mindfulness in blessings, in particular - and just as we must devote our thought to precepts concerning damages and monies in ruling Halacha and in passing judgement, so - concerning the words of Avot – we must be mindful of how we comport ourselves and should circulate among people in a civil manner.
Pirkei Raphael, First Chapter, pp.79 – 82, Hish Press, Ramla, 2011
in which he teaches that the customary custom to study Avot is primarily between Passover and [Shemini] Atzeret.
Communities of Georgian origin, whether abroad or in Israel, customarily read and study the Avot tractate before the Mincha prayer during the six Sabbath days between the festivals of Passover and Atzeret, in keeping with the Sephardim's custom.
Some of our Ashkenazi brothers have the custom of continuing until the month of Tishrei (in addition to between Passover and Atzeret), until the Sabbath before Rosh Hashanah, so that as a result they study Pirkei Avot four times. We might astutely remark that it is certainly preferable to read Pirkei Avot, even after the Festival of Shavuot, rather than to hold idle conversation, but our custom, as noted above and in keeping with the custom of the sons of Sepharad, is to read Pirkei Avot from Passover to Atzeret. One reads during the Sabbath close to Shavuot - the time our Torah was given – and those who customarily read Pirkei Avot during the entire summer Sabbath days acknowledge that the six Sabbath days between Passover and Atzeret are the principal period of the custom.
in which he that all [the people] of Israel merit to study Torah, as they have a share in the World to Come.
"All Israel have a share in the World to Come". The question that arises is why it is the custom to recite the "All Israel" Mishnaic verse before [studying] Tractate Avot. The place of this Mishnaic verse is not here but in Tractate Sanhedrin, while Tractate Avot, as we know, opens with "Moses received the Torah from Sinai". We can explain this in the name of Rabbi Yaakov Yitzhak, the Seer of Lublin, of saintly blessed memory, who would whisper to himself after rising to read the Tikun Chatzot during the night, and would commune with his Creator at this time. Then, after the Tikun Chatzot, before he would begin his study of SHAS, Halachic adjudicators and Hassidism, he would ponder penitence and ask himself: What if I am one of those people about whom King David spoke, when writing Psalm 50 in the Book of Psalms, which says: "And to the wicked, God said: Who are you to recite My laws, and mouth the terms of My covenant?" … So righteous a person would say this, and declare to himself: What if he is one of those people about whom this psalm speaks? Meaning to say, what merit and what right have I to open this Talmud and learn Your Torah, Lord of the Universe? By the right of that same Mishna that is found in the tractate Sanhedrin: "All Israel have a share in the World to Come".
in which he teaches to go to springs for the body's health and to augment holiness with holiness
After the winter, it was customary to go to the hot springs in Tiberias for the body's health, in case some illness from the winter season may have lingered, since when the weather changes an upheaval takes place in the human body. If so, then just as during this period people note the physical upheaval in their bodies and limbs, and therefore heal the body with all types of medicines, such an upheaval should also be produced in the spiritual aspect, by reading Pirkei Avot and increasing in sanctity, to purify and sanctify us with good attributes and awe of Heaven.
Pirkei Raphael, First Chapter, p.136, Hish Press, Ramla, 2011


Things really can go terribly wrong. Do your backups work? How's your disaster planning?
How will you recover if you lose your wallet?
How will your business recover if ransom ware encrypts your server?
What is your planning to survive a tornado if your business is in Oklahoma, a hurricane if you work on the east coast of Florida, or a flood if you live in low territory next to river that overflows once a decade?
Rumbi Bwerinofa-Petrozzello ponders these questions in her 7/2/17 post If Lost…Then What?
She tells of finding a wallet on the ground, walking into the adjacent restaurant looking for the owner by glancing between the patrons and the photo on the driver's license in the wallet. No luck.
When she got home she was able to do a bit more research. She located the woman and returned the wallet.
Life hack tip: make sure you have a business card with a current phone number and email in your wallet so that if a kind-hearted person finds your lost wallet the nice person can reach you quickly.
Do you have regular, automated backups of your data?
Is your backup separate from your network so a virus in the network won't take out your backup data too?
One of the educational stories I heard a long time ago was a company (don't remember what type) located in Fargo, North Dakota, where floods happen every few years. The company was able to recover after their servers spent some time underwater.
They went to the safe deposit box at the bank. Even though the bank was itself underwater the company was able to recover quickly because their backup data was on a portable hard drive which was itself sealed in a watertight plastic baggie. All they had to do is get another server and load the data from a dry hard drive.
Another company, a CPA firm as I recall, was quite careful in setting up their automated backup process. When the flood water reached into their office and wiped out the server they were okay because they had a backup server. Unfortunately… the backup server was in … the basement. Underwater.
The contingency planning most critical to you obviously depends on the nature of your company. Moments after I read the article by my friend Rumbi, I read of several companies who failed the most obvious first step of contingency planning given the nature of their operations.
Amy Dalrymple is one of my favorite reporters. I am amazed at the volume of informative, enjoyable reporting she turns out. She covers the oil patch in North Dakota, writing from Williston. At my other blog, Outrun Change, I have been talking about the oil boom a lot.
Back on 5/27/17, Ms. Dalrymple described Faces Of The Boom: Workers Adjust To Meet Changing Demands In ND's Oil Fields.
The first person she described is the emergency manager of McKenzie County. In her first year in that position, on five different occasions she responded to an explosion at an oil facility. In four of those incidents, the company did not have any emergency plans.
Of five companies who suffered an explosion, four did not have any contingency plans.
Seems to me that if you are a CPA firm, the first and most critical step in any sort of disaster recovery or contingency planning would be to have a robust, systematic, and tested backup system. Without a backup of all those audit and tax files a CPA firm is dead in the water.
Also seems to me that if you are working with volatile, deadly, explosive fossil fuels it is critical to have some planning for disaster.
If you want to keep your workers alive and if you also want to salvage the millions of dollars of investment, disaster planning is really, really important.
Oh, since that first year on the job the emergency manager has developed a list of emergency contacts with all the companies in the area and has helped in training events for many of the companies. I will guess the level of contingency planning has skyrocketed since she started.
Consider what's going on in your business, CPA firm, or ministry. Figure out the most likely disasters that could hit you and do some planning.

I recently had a friend that lost (completely lost) an electronic file that had weeks of work in it. He was working from a cloud solution and accidentally hit a delete key for the file as a whole. The cloud service had no backup though he had previously been told it did. Not a happy camper.
That is frightening. One technique I use to avoid that very narrow risk (i.e. delete or corrupt a specific file) is to make many generations of backups. Such as workpaper-1, workpaper-2, up to workpaper-x, whatever x may be during the course of working on a major project. Still, quite scary.


Most people don't think about maintaining indoor air quality, however, most studies show that most homes today, especially those in climates where they remained closed up for most of the year because of excessive heat, can have air quality that is worse than outside air. Maintaining good air quality in your Brisbane area home is easier than you think. Following are tips to help relieve indoor air pollution.
The benefits of growing houseplants cannot be overstated. Houseplants clean the air because they actually breathe, taking in carbon dioxide and breathing out oxygen. Bring plants into your home to create a symbiotic relationship that filters the air, creates fresh oxygen and beautifies your home.
If you have a newer home, it will not breathe well as air tightness recirculates the same air over and over, which presents a real problem for indoor air quality. Open the windows to let fresh air into your home. By keeping the floors clean and utilising doormats, you will remove particles that will eventually end up in the air.
One of the best things you can do for air quality is to occasionally turn your air conditioner blower on. This does not mean that you turn the cooling system on. By turning the blower on, you circulate the air in your home, through the intake and back through your home's supply ducts.
Make sure your air conditioning system is serviced annually by Intagas. If your system isn't working optimally, it won't clean the air inside your home. Make sure to change the filter regularly too. A dirty system can cause additional problems or even stop your air conditioning from working altogether. Contact us for maintenance service.

Back to the Vaults — Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki: Night Before Carnival ("Episode 7")
July 11th, 2009 AstroNerdBoy
天地無用! 魎皇鬼 OVA "Night Before Carnival"
Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki: Night Before Carnival
With the success of Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki OVA 1, it was only natural that AIC and Pioneer would want more. So, a single episode was created to bridge the series to the future OVA 2 series.
This time around, Tenchi is adjusting to life living with a group of alien women — Ryoko the notorious space pirate; Aeka, the daughter of the Emperor of Jurai; Sasami, Aeka's younger sister; Mihoshi, the often air headed Galaxy Police officer; and Washu, the genius scientist who'd been kidnapped 5000 years earlier and held captive all that time until Mihoshi accidentally freed her.
Washu runs experiments on Tenchi in an attempt to discover the secrets of his power. Tenchi has a special seed from Ryo-oh given to him by Tsunami to return to Aeka. Aeka knows that by planting the seed in a special container, the Royal tree will grow and she'll have her former tree-partner back again. Washu proves somewhat mischievous in dealing with Aeka's request, demanding to be addressed as "Washu-chan" despite the fact she's many thousands of years old. Aeka eventually is forced to agree to Washu's terms and Washu produces a containment unit with a Juraian environment suitable to plan Ryo-oh in.
Meanwhile, Sasami-chan decides to have some fun by putting Aeka and Ryoko onto shoujo manga titles collected by Tenchi's father, selling them on the idea that they could learn the art of human love by reading these manga. Aeka and Ryoko put what they read into action causing Tenchi to wonder what is wrong with them. Finally, Aeka and Ryoko decide that they need to thin out the competition by removing Mihoshi and Washu. So the plan is to seal Washu in a force field and send Mihoshi back to Galaxy Police.
After Washu brings Mihoshi's shuttle out of subspace, Mihoshi is off to her mother ship to make her report to her Galaxy Police supervisor who is relieved that the Kagato problem has been resolved. He's not happy with Mihoshi's request to remain assigned to Earth as that planet is under Jurai's jurisdiction. However, since Tenchi had asked her to come back and he's related to the current Juraian emperor, she's there to stay. Now, her supervisor has to deal with her detailed written report.
That night, Ryoko has Aeka bound and plans to have her way with Tenchi. She runs through a scenario with herself and likes what she hears. However, when she attempts to enter Tenchi's room, she finds herself teleported to the lake by a kekkai. Returning to the house all wet, Ryoko finds Aeka free and set up this barrier. Ryoko is going to allow Aeka to go first but Aeka isn't having any of that. They begin to grapple with each other but after Sasami-chan knocks and gets into Tenchi's room, they attempt to get in as well only to be teleported into the lake. They emerge from the lake, only to have Mihoshi return and crash, destroying Tenchi's house and forcing them all to spend the night in Aeka's new tree container for Ryo-oh.
I went a bit more into story summary this time but that's OK. ^_^
I've read that this episode is the kind of story that Kajishima-sensei loves to do — a day in the life of the residents of MASAKI Tenchi's home. Indeed, the Tenchi doujinshi Kajishima-sensei has been doing for the last several years reflects this as he does stories showing the hijinks and happenings at Tenchi's home. As such, this episode is mainly about showing how the various girls love Tenchi — Washu goes after him in a direct, sexual fashion; Sasami goes to him more like an older brother but we see she loves Tenchi dearly when Mihoshi leaves; Aeka and Ryoko try different things to get to Tenchi.
This episode is the one that I believe causes the majority of old Tenchi fans to latch onto the whole "whom will Tenchi choose" idea. It is easy to understand why as I too latched onto this in my first few viewings of the series. However, this episode also provides some clues to Sasami-chan's mysterious condition and we are shown that there are larger forces at work here with the glimpse we are given of Tokimi and the shadow images behind her in her realm (which Kajishima-sensei would later reveal as the "Choushin Realm") which look a lot like Tsunami and Washu.
Another thing this episode does is reveal how Kajishima-sensei doesn't like to get bogged down in details. On one hand, he did provide us an explanation as to why Ryoko attacked Jurai and thus why Kagato would have a container for a Royal tree. We even get a late explanation as to how Tenchi obtained his Juraian battle uniform from OVA 1 (via the ring Tsunami gave him). However, Kajishima-sensei did not explain the seed of Ryu-oh and how this seed could still be Ryu-oh. What was up with Ryoko's sense of taste? Why were there so many Ryo-ohki's all of the sudden? Japanese fans demanded an answer and Kajishima-sensei was forced to answer this and a whole lot of other unanswered questions in the book 101 Secrets of Tenchi Muyo!, which was published after Night Before Carnival was released.
The DVDs I still have for TM!R from Pioneer are the re-release they did for a cheaper price. Pioneer corrected some of the worst translation mistakes from the original VHS (and first DVD) release but there are still a lot of flaws in the translation. For example, the translator was desperate to avoid Japanese honorifics at all costs but then that blasted Kajishima came out and had a whole scene centering around Washu demanding to be called "Washu-chan." Since the attitude of the time was that honorifics are evil, the translator came up with the whole "Little Washu" concept.
When I saw this for the first time, I had no understanding of honorifics beyond "san." Even so, reading the subtitles were Washu demanded to be called "Little Washu" made me cringe — it sounded so freaking stupid because no one would demand to be addressed as "little," especially if they are short in stature. Further, what did Washu's age have anything to do with "little" beyond not being a baby?
Later when I learned of the "chan" honorific and the "sama" honorific, everything in this scene made sense to me. Someone of Washu's status being addressed as "Washu-sama" would be appropriate and it would be completely wrong to address her as "Washu-chan" since that would be reserved for children, girls, and pets (primarily). However, not only does Pioneer change "chan" to "little," they decide to ignore the "sama" honorific. I guess the translator couldn't figure out a way to force-translate it, so lets pretend it didn't exist.
By removing the honorifics from the subtitles and pretending they don't exist (except for "little" with Washu since other instances of "chan" are ignored), quite a bit is lost in my opinion. If somehow FUNiamtion scores this, I hope they'll let Tomato retranslate it from scratch. I'll lobby for that to happen.
Update: Though FUNimation did indeed license the series, they elected to not spend extra money to retranslate.
Speaking of honorifics, this episode is the only time that I recall Ryoko addressing Tenchi with an honorific. During her attempt to recreate a scenario from a shoujo manga she read, she called Tenchi "Tenchi-san." ^_^
(As an aside, Ryoko is the only girl that Tenchi does not use an honorific with. This is something Japanese fans of a Ryoko x Tenchi pairing would point to as proof Tenchi would pick Ryoko.)
So while the episode is a lot of fun and fluff, there is also some important table setting for events in OVA 2 and OVA 3 to come. That's why I enjoy this episode so much because it helps flesh out characters, have some fun with them, but also moves the bigger story forward a step as well.

Hmm, maybe "Young" instead of "Little" would be better. But still, Tenchi Muyo OVA was the second anime I watched (the first one was "Tenchi Muyo! Universe", which I watched the whole one for just one night 😀 ), so at that time I didn't have any idea about honorifics at all and "Little" didn't sound so awkward to me.
Also, this is probably my favorite Tenchi Muyo episode!
muhootsaver says:
yeah, I own the boxset and translation was problematic. I knew very few words of Japanese back in the days, and even then, I could notice problems.
About the OVA itself, I did enjoy this episode quite a bit, but I think this was the beginning of somehow more "relaxed" or "mellow" Tenchi(Both the series and the character himself). Second OVA has the similar tone, the factor that I didn't particularly like too much. And I think they went extreme with the third OVA.
O-chan says:
Hey, Natsu no Arashi people THIS is how you do a "daily life" episode! Learn from it!
I wish FUNimation would license the first OAVs since Geneon's DVDs are out of print.
You know, one of the great things about going back and rewatching these is reliving the good times. ^_^
@Anon — I don't know why this series has been allowed to fall off the shelf but I'm guessing there are legal issues.
Legal issues? Like what?! Seriously, if Funi could save the first 13 episodes of DB from right hell I can't imagine what is preventing them from doing the first series.
Did FUNimation finally get back the first 13 episodes of DB? I wasn't aware of that.
Anyway, if there are legal complications (or Geneon Japan is being difficult), it will take time to iron them all out.
ggultra2764 says:
You neglected to mention how the English dub handled the dialogue from Washu's nurse scene with Tenchi. The dub toned down on the original version's dialogue as the original Japanese version had Washu suggesting some saucy ways to get her needed "sample" while the dub merely had Washu teasing Tenchi over getting what she wants.
Yeah, I did neglect that. Then again, I don't believe I've watched much of TM!R in English though and I certainly didn't this time. ^_^;
Good reminder though. ^_^
The best thing about Tenchi is that it never gets old, and this is one of the best episodes. I think it's an excellent example of how Kajishima can do perfectly well without Hiroki Hayashi and Naoko Hasegawa keeping him in check or whatnot. Some naysayers never want to admit that. I think it's mostly these diehard anti-Kajishima folks who are dead set against OVA3 as well. Personally I think OVA3 was mostly fine story-wise, but the execution could have been a lot better in places. Having heard that it was originally supposed to be 13 episodes long, I can see the compression effects.
As a sidenote, I'm surprised our resident Kajishima hating idiot who used to rant here about how bad Kajishima, OVA3 and ANB were hasn't made his appearance yet. Or did you finally manage to get through to him, ANB? That guy was truly nuts…
Frank Ostrike says:
Psycho Parrot is still very much around saying the same profanity-laced things ad nauseam. We don't let his stuff through.
Psycho Parrot. *lol* Good one.
Darn it… I thought you were talking about me.
I complain about a lot of things. Kajishima is a storyteller thats it. Hasegawa brought emotional depth to the characters. A sort of real character interaction and development. Hayashi brought form to the anime, he always did like high cel art, thats why the Mihoshi dvd looked beautiful. He's also used the same composer in all his other works afterword. Yousuke and Hasegawa are friends but there are some significant writing differences. My jaw dropped at how uninteractive and boring oav2 was. Everything he did oav 7 was award winning but killed the feeling in the sequels. As for Kenichi Yatagai or Yatani, he has nothing worth noting. He is just there.
I can't say anything wrong about Pioneer's translation. Unless its something storywise the mix up, I don't care if they don't include honorifics. We know its about japanese boy, but do we have hear japanese culture in English.
The one thing i hate most is the constant, "huh" or "oh" line in the anime. Yousuke did that a lot, Hasegawa never did, in any other anime. Watch her in OMG and PeaceMaker. You'll feel like your watching tenchi.
Also where did you get that last photo you posted AnB?
Vocalizing complaints is not a problem, nor is saying that one does not like a show. There are lines that can be crossed though. ^_^
I wish I knew more about how much Hasegawa-sensei brought to the table. My understanding is that she wrote the final scripts for episodes three and five of OVA 1. Word is that Kajishima-sensei (who wrote all the early versions of the scripts) did not like how Hasegawa-sensei changed Aeka's character. Apparently, Kajishima-sensei wanted Aeka to accept the notion of Yosho being dead and not cling to some desperate hope that Yosho might be alive. Hasegawa-sensei did not see the character that way and turned her into the "tragic princess."
I did read a translated interview with Hasegawa-sensei and she pretty much admitted that she had no clue as to where Kajishima-sensei was going or that Washu and company were "choushin." That's why Washu in Hasegawa-sensei's works is supposedly more of the mad scientist type.
I do think that the loss of Hayashi from the project was a bad thing because I see Hayashi as a guard rail to keep Kajishima from going off the road. I get the impression that Kajishima doesn't like that kind of restriction.
Anyway, I have to try to watch OVA 2 soon to write a piece about it. ^_^
As to that last image, it is a single frame inserted into the OVA when Ryoko runs into Tenchi. It is a continuation of the gag from episode 6 of OVA 1 where there were two similar joke images of Mihoshi and the snakes.
Hah… I really like this pointless gossip of Hollywood, Japan. I wonder if there is a japanese version of Star magazine on AIC staff. Well, there is nothing left now of it. Everyone has split. There's only the freelancers.
Anyway, thanks for the pointers. I don't believe Hasegawa made Washu a normal person. I think she did the design for tokimi, because she had a picture of the three goddess in her second novel, which should have came out a little before episode 11. She probably didn't have any idea of how to bring Tokimi into her story. Too busy highlighting tenchi. Also a side note, compared to Kajishima, Hayashi and Hasegawa are more true to the Fantasy genre. I really did not like pretty sammy in GP, and Yuzuha, whatever she is.
About those gags, the snakes were not easy to miss. I really have to watch for the Tenchi knockout. I remember in TU ryoko playing nes and fighting ayeka in episode 1.
g nite.
I know I always miss something to say.
I don't know why Hasegawa only gets credits for ep. 3 and 5. Kajishima is in better shape with the help of the two. As to how to write ayeka, I think Hasegawa was right because how else would she end at earth. If she had accepted it then what was the point of staying, not that she could leave. Kajishima believed that Hasegawa's deep emotions was going to waste screen time. He probably could have explained the onsen if she wasn't in the mix. I don't know how they finished the first set. They must really had to deal with it. Kenichi and Yousuke probably have to kneel(and say "yes master" to stay on the Tenchi committee.
I hope I'm not carrying this gossip too far. I'm having fun anyhow. If my readers want to silence please say so, otherwise i continue to wreak havoc.
Finally, I can't see what you mean by Hayashi as a guard rail, could explore that thought more elaborately for us, ANB? Because you make it feel like we are at the studio.
"I think she did the design for tokimi, because she had a picture of the three goddess in her second novel, which should have came out a little before episode 11."
The first image of Tokimi came out in "Night Before Carnival."
In the acknowledgment section of her first Tenchi novel, Hasegawa-sensei mentions that she had a conversation with Kajishima-sensei about Tokimi and Washu.
HASEGAWA: "Kajishima sensei, who exactly is this meishu Tokimi?"
KAJISHIMA: "Oh, this thing. This is about the Three Goddesses. There are three goddesses in this universe, Tsunami, Tokimi and Washu, so you could say they are the Goddess Trio.
HASEGAWA: "…huh?"
(I know of Tsunami but I've never heard of this Tokimi lady. And Washu? Wasn't Washu a great scientific genius??" )
This little author turned quite pale.
HASEGAWA: "Well, y'see I've kinda just about finished my first novel. Are you absolutely sure these three are goddesses?"
KAJISHIMA: "Absolutely!" (with great passion)
HASEGAWA: "… really?" (Now why didn't I know this?)
You know, I need to post this entire thing on the FAQ.
Oh — Hasegawa-sensei gets credit for being the script writer on OVA 1. However, what I've long read is that while she did final polishing on the other scripts, episodes 3 and 5 she did the final rewrites of.
As to what I mean by Hayashi being a guardrail, I'll go into that more when I cover OVA 3. However, Hayashi kept Kajishima-sensei focused and didn't allow him to roam all over, which is what I believe happened with OVA 3. As I said, I'll cover this more when I review that series. ^_^
You make it sound like he's handicapped with attention defecit disorder.
You have alot more work to post for tenchi than i thought possible. With jen covering outside the kajishima world and you doing the cannon material, thought everything would be complete.
you can do we'll just sit by and give you more work to compile. heheheheh…. by the way have you seen haien muyo. I hope you know what i'm talking about.
"haien muyo" — never heard of it. Sorry. ^_^;
I still think Little Washu is better than Young and what not. I figured the awkward and weird thing of calling Washu "little" was just Washu's way of making them feel uncomfortable on purpose, like with Aeka's reaction to it.
It just seems like the character to me. ^^;
Meglivorn says:
"Two wet fools who forgot how to knock" XD
Tho I'm sucked to the depths of the vast kajishimaverse, and all the mysteries, in a way I can understand how Kajishima likes to "play house" with his characters. This is one of my favorites in the whole show, though not the best one. That is still the "Here Comes Jurai". But for me this is the episode where the Tenchi grows out the original concept, and become that great universe I fell in love with.
I can't really add to the dub-discussion. The tenchi is one of the few series where I like the (origina) dub. Tho there are voices I think not so good, Petrea Burchard was perfect Ryoko, Kristen Tanner, Katie Ashley were great as the princesses, and Weston Peese as Kagato… I know it's about the translation, but maybe it's not so off, and in my experience people tends to forget, that there is good work too 🙂
When I hit OVA 2, I'll have some things to say about "Here Comes Jurai." There is a lot of fascinating stuff going on there. I remember True Sheol writing up some stuff for the AFC forums on the unsaid thing between Funaho and Yosho as well as the entire political aspects of the episode. Good stuff. ^_^

Aw, I like the "little Washu" bit. I know it's not accurate, but I think it's cuter in the dub. Maybe it's because I saw the dub first, but I like it a lot. (And I also think it's cute how Washu calls Ryoko "little Ryoko.") Yeah I guess it's annoying for purists, but I don't really think that honorifics work well in a dub. Hearing people speaking in English saying "san" and "sama" and "chan" just sounds awkward and forced to me. I think "Lord" is a good substitute for sama, and for san…Ayeka at least refers to the other girls as "Miss." I don't think the honorifics are a huge deal. Though I do like that Tenchi doesn't use an honorific for Ryoko. 😀
I don't know much about the "who wrote what" issue. But I did like OVA 1 a lot more than OVA 2. I always have, I always will. OVA 1 has a magical quality to it that sort of goes away in the second OVA. Not that I don't like OVA. Night Before the Carnival was a great episode, and there were a few more that I enjoyed. I didn't like the Zero episodes though, and I used to like "Here Comes Jurai" back when I was younger, but OVA 3 kind of killed my liking for it, because it seems the entire OVA 3 is modeled solely on Here Comes Jurai. In comparison, I loved every single episode in the first OVA.
Sorry to ask but i just finished watching "tenchi … Sorry to ask but i just finished watching "tenchi muyo ryo-oh-ki" and I'm confused on what tenchi to watch next. I tried an episode of "universe" but I was confused why tenchi was meeting ryoko again. Gxp didn't seem to have ryoko or the others in it. Is there something I'm missing?

Hi everyone. I hope that your visit here helps to point you in the direction of information you're looking for. While many of you know me through the books I have written – the most recent is Barefoot at the Lake- I spend most of my working time as a clinical veterinarian in central London. The following pages describe some of the activities I'm associated with and lead to other websites with more detailed information on these activities.


Last week, a reader reached out with an incredibly sad story of domestic violence. The photos that came along with the narrative showed a carnage for which this reporter cannot go into detail because the victim did not press charges.
This is an issue not only for the media, who cannot fully report cases of domestic abuse without putting the victim at risk but also for the police who, without charges, cannot properly bring the abusers to justice and the victims to safety.
Brooklyn, which holds roughly 30 percent of the city's population, accounts for 36 percent of the city's family-related homicides, the highest rate in the city, according to a 2015 report by the New York City's Domestic Violence Fatality Review Committee.
In June 2016, crime statistics from the 70th Precinct, which covers Flatbush, Ditmas Park and parts of Midwood, show a 40 percent spike in felony assaults, most which were attributed to domestic violence, according to Deputy Inspector James Palumbo.
In 2013, the 61st Precinct, which covers Sheepshead Bay, Manhattan Beach, and Brighton Beach, saw an increase in crime overall. Captain John M. Chell credited the rise in crime to domestic violence. At the time, Chell said that domestic violence crimes are hard to prevent, but established a team of officers to deal with the problem.
No one from the 61st Precinct would provide comment for this article.
According to the city's report, the 70th Precinct had 22 family-related homicides in 2014; less than one neighboring precinct (the 67th had 24) but more many others — the 66th Precinct had 11, the 61st Precinct had 14, and the 63rd had 11 (see page 21 of the city's report).
Within the past month, there were two domestic violence deaths in the 70th precinct, a man strangled his girlfriend to death in the backroom of a cell phone shop. A week prior to that, a man brutally stabbed his girlfriend to death in their apartment on East 17th Street.

Family-related homicides disproportionately impact groups like women, African Americans, and children under the age of one, according to the city's report. Women accounted for 66 percent of victims in incidents that occurred between 2002 and 2014. Women are 44 percent more likely to be killed by a family member than any other group of people, according to the report.
Nearly half of the victims within the 12-year period were African American, who are three times more likely to be a victim in a family-related homicide than any other racial group, according to the report.
Children under the age of one make up 1.3 percent of the city's population yet they also make up nine percent of victims in family-related homicides, making them seven times more likely to be killed by a family member than any other age group.
Since 2005, just over a quarter of victims and perpetrators in family-related homicides had contact with the NYPD before the incident. The Administration for Children's Services (ACS) met with 16 percent of victims and 14 percent of the perpetrators before the murder, according to the report.
According to Solomon, roughly half of the people that stay at the CADV do not have records of the abuse with the police.
Each borough of the city has a Family Justice Center, which is loaded with resources for victims of domestic violence. They are in partnership with each District Attorney and have representatives from over 100 non-profit organizations geared towards helping domestic violence victims.
The Brooklyn Family Justice Center is located at 350 Jay St on the 16th floor.
According to Solomon, a major reason victims find it hard to leave their abuser is that they are financially dependent on them. With the programs offered at the Family Justice Center, victims can free themselves of that dependency.
If anyone is in danger of domestic violence they should call 311, unless that danger is imminent, in which case they should immediately call 911. The Center Against Domestic Violence hotline number is (718) 439-1000, and the 70th Precinct Domestic Violence number is (718) 851-5569.

Medellin, Colombia: the City of Eternal Spring should be a spot on your next trip when traveling through South America. The cool tropical climate at a constant 76 degrees gives it all the more reason to visit Medellin. Not once in my stay in Medellin did I ever complain about the weather; even when it rained because when it rains it only lasts for roughly 30 minutes. Medellin's weather is similar to the climate back at home in Southern California, except in Medellin it's year round.
This was my second time visiting "Medallo" and I was very fortunate to be around during the World Cup Brazil 2014. Now I already have a passion for sports, especially when it comes to basketball and futbol, but the Paisas literally live and breathe futbol. It's not only just for the love of the sport, but that it brings the Colombians pride and joy to their nation.
I remember the first game Colombia played against Greece, the game started at 11:00 AM and we were in Parque Lleras at a restaurant called La Chingona. The place was packed! I had to show up early just to save my friends and I a table to watch the game. It was game time, we had already polished off two bottles of Medellin Rum and the Colombian national anthem was playing, and you can hear everyone in the bar, outside in the streets, and the surrounding bars singing the anthem. Hearing the Paisas singing and screaming the words with every inch of pride they had in them ran chills up and down my spine.
At the 5 minute mark Cuadrado gave a low center pass into the box, James Rodriguez the pass fooling his defender, leaving Pablo Armero to connect with the ball one timed it, and score… The place erupted! Drinks and babies were flying in the air, random locals were hugging me, girls began to dance on the tables. Tears of joy were running down everyone's face for it was Colombia's first World Cup goal in over 15 years. For the rest of the tournament, after every victory we would begin to drink and dance in the streets with the locals, spray foam at everyone, and throw flour everywhere. This was possibly one of my best experiences in Medellin.
Medellin girls, girls, girls I do adore.
Growing up in Southern California, I have always been attracted to white, blonde women. Once I set foot into Medellin that completely changed. Paisa women have a natural beautiful look to them, and that is without a doubt why people call Medellin women the most gorgeous women in the world. Everywhere you go, each girl you see is a head turner. It's like watching a beauty pageant as you walk down the street to the local grocery store. Paisa women are not hard to approach unless if you are socially awkward then you will have a problem. Just like any other woman, Paisas love being approached by the guy, the minute you do that and if you aren't boring; you're in.
I'm kinda tall for these Paisa girls.
Paisas love dancing, and if you aren't the best salsa dancer it's okay, in some cases Paisa women love that. Not knowing how to dance salsa could work to your advantage and the woman will teach you. I still have not been able to get my rhythm down to dance salsa, but with every girl I danced they would teach me because they found it to be cute.
If you are able to land a date with a girl do not be surprised if she flakes out, which is one of their few "flaws." This happened to me three times during my time in Medellin. Paisa women tend to have the habit of flaking out and it happens to all of us. Another "flaw," not much of a flaw, but when you ask a girl out they always, 100% of the time tend to bring a friend or cousin or sister along. I never really understood the reason why they have a friend tag along, but if you're showing up thinking its going to be just you and her, think again because she will bring someone else along.
Medellin girls are the best!
"Me voy para Medellín a la feria de las flores" After the World Cup had ended the party kept going. In the first weeks of August, Medellin hosts its famous flower festival (Feria de las Flores), which draws people from all around Colombia to attend. The whole week is filled with free concerts and day parades.
On Monday I attended a free concert called "Musica del Mundo" which was a concert with various artists and genres playing on a big stage at Parque Pie Descalzos. From salsa to reggae to hip hop and ska this concert had it all and was very entertaining.
Saturday was the greatest day during Flower Festival. Saturday morning me, my brother (Andrew), and friends (Joel and Joseph), AKA "The Crew," caught a cab in downtown which took us to Santa Elena. Everyone spends the whole day and night in Santa Elena which is about 45 minutes away from El Centro.
The reason why everyone goes there is to party with the Silleteros. Now silleteros are people (usually old men) who carry these huge chairs (Silletas) that weigh about 50 pounds down the mountain Sunday morning for the Flower Parade; and each silleta is decorated with beautiful flowers. Once we arrived to Santa Elena we began drinking our Rum and Aguardiente to get the party started.
After a couple of drinks we began to head out to visit the Silleteros. From one house to another we drank, ate and danced with the family members all while the Silletas were being crafted. The whole night was a party that I thought was never going to end. You definitely do not want to miss out on Feria de las Flores!

Home Daily Health Tips How Does High Cholesterol Harm Your Legs?
It's no secret that having high cholesterol is something that can cause the arteries to become clogged. This is the reason why it can increase an individual's risk of having a heart attack, which happens when the heart tissues are deprived of much-needed oxygen.
Are you aware that it's not just arteries supplying oxygen-rich blood to the heart that can end up clogged because of high cholesterol, but also arteries elsewhere?
Health authorities refer to the clogging of the arteries in the extremities as peripheral artery disease or PAD, and some of the arteries that can be affected include those that provide the legs with blood. It's exactly for this reason why having high cholesterol can harm your legs in a number of ways.
Below you will come across some leg-related issues that can stem from high cholesterol and PAD, so keep on reading.
One of the most common symptoms of PAD is leg pain. Such occurs most especially after engaging in physical activities that entail the use of the legs, such as walking, running and climbing the stairs.
Doctors call it claudication, and the pain that it brings go away as soon as you take a break from what you are doing. Some people with leg pain due to high cholesterol or PAD report of feeling of heaviness, tiredness or burning in one or both legs. By the way, pain can be experienced in any part of the leg.
Because the circulation of the blood to the lower extremities is compromised as a result of arterial clogging, it's not unlikely for the color of the skin on the legs to change depending on the position. For instance, elevating the legs can cause the skin to become pale, while dangling it from a table may cause the skin to appear purple or bluish.
A person who is suffering from PAD may notice that his or her toes are either pale or bluish while sitting down, most especially for extended periods of time.
It's not just the color of the skin of the legs that can change, but also its temperature. When touched, the feet of someone who has high cholesterol or PAD may feel cold. Such doesn't really come as a surprise as having clogged peripheral arteries can considerably reduce blood flow to the legs.
Needless to say, having PAD as a result of high cholesterol can make your feet feel cold easily. And when they're cold, you may also have a hard time walking.
Your toe nails need to be supplied with oxygen and nutrients in order to stay healthy. When circulation to the legs is decreased considerably, it's for certain that there will be notable changes on the toenails.
For instance, the toenails may appear pale or bluish, depending on the positioning of the legs. Experts say that the toenails may also grow in length slower. It's not unlikely for the toenails of someone with high cholesterol and PAD to become thickened, looking like it has a fungal infection.
One of the many complications of diabetes is the appearance of sores on the feet. Well, the same is also a sign of high cholesterol or PAD as a result of poor blood circulation.
However, sores brought about by having high cholesterol or PAD can cause pain. On the other hand, sores associated with diabetes do not feel painful as a result of the fact that people who are diabetic also have damage to the peripheral nerves, thus causing loss of sensation in the feet or any other part of the legs.

In the incentive industry, it's pretty much a given that incentive travel rewards are powerful motivators—so powerful, in fact, that incentive travel rewards are moving beyond the sales and channel space and into other parts of the organization where great accomplishments deserve great recognition.
Maybe this is the time when we should take another look at how we measure the success of incentive travel rewards. Yes, ROI is a critical measure and one that should be included in all programs. And, yes, return on objectives (ROO) holds tremendous value when we've clearly defined expected outcomes; this is especially true when incentive travel is combined with training.
But there's a valuable soft measure that doesn't get the attention it should when we talk about incentive travel rewards. That measure is return on experience (ROE) and it offers insight into the longer lasting impact of incentive travel. Looking at return on experience requires that we take the long view, something we say we should do in business, but often don't.
When a travel incentive program is used to drive sales, it's generally the top five percent (plus or minus) who capture the reward. They are a highly driven group and it's been my experience that these top performers value the recognition the travel award brings as much as the award itself.
In their drive to excel, this group has acquired considerable knowledge, but does your program tap into that knowledge? If the agenda at the award destination combines with a meeting (a trend that's increasing), certainly this is a perfect opportunity to let your attendees share knowledge. However, if no meeting is planned, you can do this informally by creating opportunities where your top sales people spend unstructured time with your key executives. Top performers love to talk about what has made them successful, and it can be shared with the entire sales force after the event. A lot of "boots-on-the-ground knowledge" has been exchanged on the golf course or over drinks.
Return on experience doesn't have to be limited to the actual travel event. The "experience" materializes during the campaign leading to the reward. A well-constructed program triggers many ways that middle and low performers can improve and feel a genuine sense of accomplishment as they contribute to organizational goals.
Sometimes the long-term goal can seem just plain out of sight for less-than-stellar performers. Motivating the middle is a critical component of every rewards and recognition program. It's this middle group—usually 60 percent of your sales team—who can dig deeper and elevate their efforts and bring value to your organization if your incentive program includes short sprints along the way.
Sprint goals can include: the number of new accounts brought in, the volume of products sold, or the average dollar value of orders during a set time frame. This sharpens focus and opens more opportunities for success and immediate recognition (which is why announcing these interim successes on your sales site leaderboard is also important).
No one achieves outstanding success entirely on their own. Even though many of your most successful sales and channel partners often have a strong sense of entrepreneurialism, their success comes from great support. A certain way to generate a positive return on experience is to let your winners reward a member of their "support system" with a trip. What a great way to inspire a sales engineer or an account manager.
Other opportunities for extending the return on experience are by including sales team members who weren't at the top, but who excelled. This might be the person who showed the greatest growth in sales year-over-year or the "rookie of the year." The opportunities to extend the experience—and the return on that experience—are many.
Concrete measures are always necessary, but we should never ignore the side of our business that can't always be quantified numerically. A positive experience can be a powerful motivator and while it's difficult to put our finger on, we know that evoking emotion is priceless.

My Life in Music
For as long as I can remember being creative in the performing arts has always been up there aligned with my biggest passions. When I was very young I thought I wanted to be a dancer, but then when the categories of 'Song and Dance' came along it was clear to my ballet teacher and friends that I was a five year old busting to sing (or shout in tune as I did back then!)
Fast forward to my teenage years and I discovered I truly had a voice. My older sister's and I would sing together in 3 part harmonies for family and friends – we got so popular that we ended up performing around our hometown of Melbourne in Australia. We sang covers of Andrew Sisters, Aretha Franklin and our own originals. The passion for songwriting had started…
As there was nothing much else I knew to do with my life, I studied singing at the Conservatorium of Music in Melbourne. The technique was Opera and I topped my class in my final year. The Victorian State Opera had reserved a spot for me, but I had other plans…
During my Uni years I supported myself singing in Jazz bands around Melbourne. I had a regular gig at the Rainbow Hotel and the Night Cat. But I wanted to do original music too...
I joined an all girl band called "Ruby Fruit Jungle" and we toured the world. This band and this life of touring opened my eyes to a world of possibilities to do with my music, my life and existence. We supported Sinead O'Connor and Afro Celt Sound System in Ireland, frequented the UK, Asia and the rest of Europe. Robert Plant came to one of our gigs in Hong Kong and we partied with him afterwards. Meanwhile my passion as a songwriter continued and I wrote many songs for this outfit.
But I wanted to branch out – be autonomous, create my own rules, my own sound. I stayed on in Germany after a tour once as I had been asked to work with the legendary Klaus Schulze. He is quoted as calling my voice "murder!". I think that's a compliment. For those who don't know, Klaus Schulze was from Tangerine Dream and Alphaville – the first band to be signed to Richard Branson's UK label Virgin Records. Kraut Rock is what they call it. My most popular recording with Klaus Schulze is My Ty She.
I have been lucky enough in my career to have sparked the interest of many notable figures – including Henning Schmitz from Kraftwerk. One of our tracks together was mentioned in the New York Times as being one of the most popular played in Cafes and bars...
I love collaboration with other musicians. I love producing. I love doing things on my own too. People often connect with me to ask if I will work with them, and if I like what they do and feel I can contribute I will often say yes.
My first solo album was signed to a label called Varese Saraband in LA. A press quote for that album that took off was that I was the new "Queen of Chill". I guess I helped create a European sound for the American market, in a genre that wasn't yet popular in the States – but is now, of course - everywhere!
I've done a load since, and am always working and performing. A lot of my live music passion in the past few years has been in the field of Jazz. People get confused by that, but to me it's all a musical and seamlessly ties in.
I guess my point is, is that music in whatever capacity has always made me feel like I am part of the world.
But perhaps even more importantly than any of this, is that YOU, the listener, makes all of this matter.
I look forward to many more challenging and worthwhile experiences along this musical journey. Here's to hoping that you are part of that journey.
If you'd like to hear the most recent addition of that journey, click here to listen to my most recent Jazz album: "Live at Bennetts Lane."
Thank you for being a listener and for making it all matter.

Hi Julia, I followed Ruby Fruit Jungle around to all your gigs, be it the Evelyn, The Rochy or out west in Ballarat. I would bully my friends into coming and it took no time before they were dancing up a storm with me. One of the best live bands ever. People still bring you gorgeous ladies up in conversation. I only had a single from one of the gigs before as I stupidly gave my album away to a friend (what was I thinking!?!) Thank you for having the album online for me to download and reminisce x Fiona

Biografia
Studiò dal 1826 al 1834 materie classiche a Biberach an der Riß e Rottweil, filosofia a Tubinga fino al 1838; lo stesso anno entrò nel seminario di Rottenburg e l'11 settembre 1839 fu ordinato prete. Nel maggio 1847 ottenne la cattedra di filosofia e storia generale alla facoltà teologica di Hildesheim. Infine entrò nell'Abbazia di San Bonifacio a Monaco di Baviera, pronunciando il 5 ottobre 1856 i voti monastici nella congregazione bavarese dell'Ordine benedettino e assumendo, accanto a quello di Bonifacio, il nome di Pio; nel corso degli anni ebbe incarichi sempre più importanti fino a quello di priore. Le sue opere più importanti sono la Kirchengeschichte von Spanien (Storia ecclesiastica di Spagna) e soprattutto la Series episcoporum Ecclesiae catholicae quotquot innotuerunt a beato Petro apostolo, ancora oggi considerato, pur con qualche lacuna per i vescovi delle diocesi orientali, il repertorio di riferimento per i vescovi cattolici.

Opere principali
Geschichte der Kirche Jesu Christi im neunzehnten Jahrhunderte mit besonderer Rücksicht auf Deutschland, 3 voll. (Innsbruck, 1854-1858)
Johannes der Täufer im Gefängnisse (Tübingen, 1853)
Die elfte Säcularfeier des Märtyrertodes des heiligen Bonifacius (Mainz, 1855)
Die Kirchengeschichte von Spanien, 3 voll., (Ratisbona, 1862-79)

Sometimes I feel like I have an electrical buzzing current feeling going through parts of my body. Is this internal shaking or another separate per I symptom?
Yes, I have experienced this and it can feel frightening. However, don't fret. I'm sure nothing is wrong. Of course, always get yourself checked by your doctor to eliminate the possibility of any other health issue because so many symptoms of menopause can be symptoms of other health issues (that's because there's hardly a "feeling" that isn't experienced during menopause and usually caused BY menopause). I remember asking my internist about it when I suffered from it on a regular basis -- what I referred to as my "electrical shock impulses." His explanation was that it was caused by a "nerve" in my neck. Of course, he's an excellent diagnostician, but I asked him how come I'd never had this "nerve in my neck electrical impulse before perimenopause." He was convinced it had nothing to do with my changes, but I was convinced he was absolutely wrong.
The buzzing sensations happened pretty regularly for about two years of perimenopause, which, as we all know by now, is the very WORST part of this transition. It felt like electrical impulses in my head, a buzzing sensation, similar to the pictures we get of someone sticking their finger in a live electrical socket and the body vibrating with a Buzzzzzzzz'ing. Or, I imagine it might feel like someone getting electro-shock therapy (shock treatment). I'll be honest, there were times I wondered if something was wrong -- you know, the stroke fear, the brain tumor, the "I'm dying from something, but nobody knows what it's called" syndrome. We've all had it.
It can be very frightening, but I was convinced that it was one of the strange (and there are MANY strange and, yes, inexplicable, things you'll experience during menopause - thank you, mom, for telling me this before it all started) for HRT and/or other drugs, herbs or vitamins may do nothing at all.
Every strange sensation you experience during every phase of menopause cannot be addressed with medication. There isn't an answer to every strange feeling, thought, ache, pain, mood we experience during menopause. I realize everyone wants an instant answer to all the problems, which is why so many doctors are often baffled and only know to prescribe tranquilizers or anti-depressants -- hormone therapy or one medication or another.

Mojang really dropped the ball in terms of performance on 1.13. We've been playing catch up ever since to try and have a playable gameplay experience. We've been experimenting with various different ways of improving performance without impacting gameplay too much.
Some people have been wondering about the addition and recent removal of wool pits. Wool pits were originally added at my request because I implemented a drastic short term measure of removing all sheep ai. This meant that sheep would never regrow their wool. This change has since been reverted in favor of our server load mechanism so I had the wool pit removed.
Just quickly mentioning this because some people haven't noticed but we've fixed vote milestones. We also add a capstone milestone at 30 day consecutive days.
Quick reminder as I've seen a couple people asking about the command `/frp`. It is no longer a command. Instead you create a forum sign with [Forum Link] as the first line. The next line is the topic id. To find the topic id, just go to the link you want and find the string of numbers right before the name of the topic.
There's some broken soulweaving tomes and greater soulstones floating around. If you have one of these, please leave the item in your inventory and make a `/treq` requesting for us to replace it.
Following feedback we've adjusted how chest shops are unlocked. Chest shops for your first persona are automatically unlocked but every persona created after that needs 50 hours of playtime.
There's been a recent uptick in treqs so I thought I'd quickly go over how to use treqs..
DO NOT make /devreqs when they're intended for /treqs. Remember that the Tech Team deals with technical issues like plugins. Dev reqs are more for building and world related things.
can I ask proper usage of /treq?
Honestly this is something we've been discussing for a little bit now. Most of the treqs that come in are better suited to being forum posts. Most issues require background information and forums are much better for providing more information. We also don't have nearly the manpower that the moderation team does so having support be in a ticket format just really doesn't make sense.
If your issue can't be easily condensed into one sentence, it probably shouldn't be a treq.
I've heard that the command to disable seeing usernames or RP names above people's heads has been removed somehow.
The leader of Brandybrook, @Tha_Mystery_Man, set name tags to be invisible before the command was removed, meaning he no longer sees usernames at all and will be stuck like that for some time.
I hope that this is only a temporary problem that will fix itself or that dev team has a solution soon.
I wasn't originally gunna comment, but since ive been tagged, yes im suffering.
I just want /rpnames (/mcnames) back, i wanna actually KNOW WHOSE TALKING AGAIN.
What is a "greater soulstone" and a "Soulweaving tome"????
Greater soulstones are soulstones you can buy that give you cooldown reduction and 1 extra ss slot. Soulweaving tomes are what you need to create redstone pillars.
Big thanks. So the greater soulstones, are they dropped on death? Or do you keep them/replace your current soulstone with it?
Will we get more soulstone slots?

← Making your own Christmas Presents? How about a Christmas Shrug!
Have you been thinking about learning to sew but been a bit daunted and put off by the choice of sewing schools and teachers available?
Maybe you've felt intimidated by going back to learning, thinking it might be a bit like school? Perhaps you thought you wouldn't be good enough or creative enough to join a sewing class, that everyone else would be much better? You might even have been put off by the thought of a strict / lazy / patronising / old fashioned / clueless teacher or simply a teacher you wouldn't be able to get along with. Have you been wondering how to choose between the many people that are now offering to teach you how to sew?
Here are a few tips that I hope might help you to reach the right decision (these are the criteria I would personally would apply to choosing any kind of teacher!).
how long have they been sewing?
do they have a teaching qualification?
did they do any relevant training before teaching – have they got a degree or similar in the subject that they're teaching?
have they actually worked in the industry in which they're now teaching?
are they teaching full-time, or is it a hobby or just for fun?
what's the teaching space like? Is it equipped with all the necessary equipment or do you have to take in your own?
what do other people say about the classes? Can you read some reviews on Google or similar, or previous student's testimonials?
what is the teacher's reputation more widely? Have they had their work published, either in a book or magazine?
are you going to learn anything in the classes or is it just a social coffee morning? Can you find examples of things previous students have made?
Ultimately, you need to decide why you want to go to classes and what you want to get out of them. If you just want a bit of sociable creative time without really learning much, then you're probably better off with a community or pub based sewing group with friends. If you want to make progress and really learn and practice some new skills, you would enjoy going to some classes.
And before you know it, you could be one of these happy and proud students…..(most of whom were complete beginners when I first met them).
One of the reasons I wanted to write this post was a conversation I had recently with one of my students. She has been coming to my classes now for over 6 months and when she started was a complete beginner. She confessed to me this week that she had been wanting to come to sewing classes for over a year before she plucked up the courage to give me a ring and come along to one of my classes. She had been wrestling with some of the questions I began this post with and applied some of the criteria above when deciding to give me a ring. I'm so glad she did, she's doing great and making fantastic progress; enjoying wearing the clothes she's made and now making a shirt for her dad for Christmas.
Here are my answers to all those questions…..
how long have they been teaching? – I've been teaching since 2007.
how long have they been sewing? – Since I was 12 – almost 30 years!
do they have a teaching qualification? – I got my PGCE in 2007.
did they do any relevant training before teaching – have they got a degree or similar in the subject that they're teaching? – I have a BA degree in Fashion (1st class) and an MA in Design.
have they actually worked in the industry in which they're now teaching? – I worked for high street clothing companies as a designer / product development manager for 7 years.
are they teaching full-time, or is it a hobby or just for fun? – My business is my livelihood and is very full-time!
how many students are there in each class? – 4 for pattern cutting and 5 for sewing and dressmaking, never any more than that.
are they still practicing in the area in which they teach? – Yes, I'm designing my own range of sewing patterns called MIY Collection which are available for students to use in classes at MIY Workshop, I have a stand at the Knitting & Stitching Shows in London and I exhibited at Made Brighton in 2013.
what's the teaching space like? Is it equipped with all the necessary equipment or do you have to take in your own? – MIY Workshop has a specially designed cutting table, 5 Janome sewing machines which are regularly replaced, Juki overlocker, Babylock embellisher and 2 Bernina 1008 sewing machines all available for students to use along with specialist pattern cutting tools and equipment.
what do other people say about the classes? Can you read some reviews on Google or similar, or previous student's testimonials? – If you Google MIY Workshop you will find reviews and you can read testimonials from my students here.
are you going to learn anything in the classes or is it just a social coffee morning? Can you find examples of things previous students have made? – You can find lots of pictures of student's work all over this blog!
