Goblins tend to assume for their own protection that members of taller ancestries, which goblins often refer to colloquially as “longshanks,” won’t treat them kindly. Goblins bond closely with their allies, fiercely protecting those companions who have protected them or offered a sympathetic ear. They strive to lead fulfilled lives, rather than worrying about how their journeys will end. Goblin virtues are about being present, creative, and honest. Misunderstood by other people, goblins are happy how they are. The wars of a few decades ago might as well be from the ancient past. These small folk live in the moment, and they prefer tall tales over factual records. The convoluted histories other people cling to don’t interest goblins. Play and creativity matter more to goblins than productivity or study, and their encampments erupt with songs and laughter. As new threats arise, many tribal elders have put aside their reckless ways in the hope of forging alliances that offer their people a greater chance at survival. These tribes rarely number more than a hundred, though the larger a tribe is, the more diligent the leader must be to keep order-a notoriously difficult task. Goblins tend to flock to strong leaders, forming small tribes. Goblins can live 50 years or more, but without anyone to protect them from each other or themselves, few live past 20 years of age. Goblins reach adolescence by the age of 3 and adulthood 4 or 5 years later. Mutations are also more common among goblins than other peoples, and goblins usually view particularly salient mutations as a sign of power or fortune. Their jagged teeth fall out and regrow constantly, and their fast metabolism means they eat constantly and nap frequently. Most are bald, with little or no body hair. Their skin ranges from green to gray to blue, and they often bear scars, boils, and rashes. Goblins are stumpy humanoids with large bodies, scrawny limbs, and massively oversized heads with large ears and beady red eyes. Wonder how you survive given your ancestry’s typical gastronomic choices, reckless behavior, and love of fire.Work to ensure you don’t accidentally (or intentionally) set too many things on fire.Lighten the heavy emotional burdens others carry (and amuse yourself) with antics and pranks.Fight tooth and nail-sometimes literally-to protect yourself and your friends from danger. Strive to prove that you have a place among other civilized peoples, perhaps even to yourself.If you want a character who is eccentric, enthusiastic, and fun-loving, you should play a goblin. As such, goblins who travel to larger cities are frequently subjected to derision, and many work twice as hard at proving their worth. Though goblins’ culture has splintered radically, their reputation has changed little. Others are endless tinkerers and view their companions’ trash as the components of gadgets yet to be made. Some goblins remain deeply fascinated with fire or fearlessly devour a meal that might turn others’ stomachs. Even among goblins that are more worldly, many still exemplify their old ways in some small manner, just to a more sensible degree. However, great changes have come to goblinkind, and more and more goblins resist conformity to these stereotypes. Goblins have a reputation as simple creatures who love songs, fire, and eating disgusting things and who hate reading, dogs, and horses-and there are a great many for whom this description fits perfectly.

In this article, I’ll discuss how to connect MySQL Database on different servers and I’ll also give you an overview of connecting Database using PDO. The major advantage of using PDO is that your code stays simple and portable. It also gives you the freedom to work with multiple databases. It is like an interface for the backend to interact with the MySQL database and make changes without making any change in the PHP code. PHP Data Objects (PDO) extension is a Database Abstraction Layer. The API was designed to support MySQL from version 4.1.13 to newer ones. MySQLi was introduced with PHP 5.0.0 and the drivers were installed in 5.3.0. It works just like the previous version, but it is safer and faster, and provides a better set of functions and extensions. MySQLi is an API used as a connector function to link the backend of the PHP app to the MySQL database. Mysql() is now obsolete because of security issues like SQL injection etc, but the other two are being actively used. There are three types of methods in PHP to connect MySQL database through backend: Connect MySQL with PHP code, you can make use of one of three methodologies. Its ability to handle huge volumes of data without breaking a sweat is one of its biggest selling points. I hope this helps others reading through a bunch of threads for an answer.Follow is a highly popular database management system that can power projects of all sizes. The only thing that worked for me, to at the very least, to access the phpMyAdmin page is by entering localhost/phpmyadmin The other problem I had that seems to be another issue with many solutions is the problem after everything is started then entering localhost which brings me to the xampp splash screen and then nothing. The other suggestion by wishap that worked was to locate /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/my.cnf file and change the permissions for "everyone" to Read only. I had the Manager App open and started ProFTPD and Apache and then ran the sudo command. Sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/rver start The workaround that always worked and forced MySQL to start was by opening Terminal and using: With a bunch of different solutions to the issue with MySQL Database not starting using Manager App I wanted to confirm what had worked for me. I am running XAMPP 5.6.3-0 for OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and ran into the same issue twice, the first time was with Mavericks. This should look something like this: kill -9 739 There should be number near the top, something like 739 or 8827Ĥ) Kill the process using kill -9 So here's the answer:ģ) You will need to get the process id of mysql. I found the answer to my problem but I can't answer it yet. I have no idea what to do.Īfter looking around the internet a bit, I found a similar problem a user had with MAMP, another user recommended killing the mysql process, what ever that means. The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured). When I go to phpmyadmin, it throws me this error message. Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/proftpd/scripts/ctl.sh : proftpd startedīoth my ProFTPD and my Apache Web Server are running.

It doesn't throw me an in the application log. Ever since, MySQL won't start in my manager-osx application. Today I installed a voice recognition software and then restarted my computer. I downloaded XAMPP about a month ago and it was working just fine.
Quickly shooting an arm down each sleeve and pulling its deep hood over my head, I zipped it up to my chin and immediately felt the warmth envelop me, like I was wrapped in a sleeping bag, like I was at home under a pile of blankets. Then I reached into my pack and pulled out the crown jewel of my jacket collection: the Rab Neutrino Pro. Shivering, I pulled my fleece on, then my soft shell jacket. I was standing there vulnerable to all these wintry elements, and I got cold. The story is the same until the words “then your soft shell jacket.” One minute I was hot and sweaty, my hard-working body giving off steam on top of an exposed snowy peak in a thick fog the next, my circulatory system realized we had stopped moving and pulled the plug on the heat. Let me share with you my experience this morning. So you put on your fleece, then your soft shell jacket, and you’re still freezing, and you know you need to keep moving, so you snap three photos in quick succession, grab your poles, and start down.Īfter all that work, you’re too cold to savor it and instead have to abandon your moment. And that breeze on your neck that was refreshing is now chilling. You’re decked out in wool base layers which are wicking copious amounts of sweat away as best as they can, but your back, underneath your backpack, is a bit damp. The feeling of accomplishment, the confidence boost, the unique pride of dancing on the knife’s edge of pain and pleasure, thumbing your nose at the very notion of “you can’t.”īut you’ve just gained 960 feet of elevation in the final half mile. Rainier out to the Olympics and up to the North Cascades, the emotional reward far exceeds the visual one. But even when you have a 360º pano of everything from Mt. And you do this for 2.7 miles.īut the reward of getting to the top! I don’t mean the views, because on some days (like this one) the views are non-existent. So the routine goes: you exert, you sweat, you stop moving, the wind blows across the snow and up your sweaty shirt, you put a jacket on, you move, the jacket is overkill and you’re red in the face so you take the jacket off. The tricky part about layers and temperature regulation on a day like this is that you’re exerting like crazy, you’re huffing and puffing, you can feel your pulse slamming in your neck, and yet it’s barely thirty degrees out. It’s long in that with every step, you question all of your life choices leading to this one as you make your way up a rooty, rocky, unmaintained mess of a mountain, gaining 4000 feet in two and a half miles. It’s not long mileage-wise, it’s long emotionally. Because as ladies, we climb the hell out of the toughest trails in town.Īfter a quick gear check, we begin the long trek up the (in)famous Mailbox Peak. We’re in the parking lot two hours before sunrise, headlamps on, buffs covering our faces, microspikes at the ready. At least not for me and my posse of mountain women. Because as ladies, we are domestic, right? Because as ladies, we shop, right?įor others, the food coma following the big family turkey dinner drags into mid-morning, creating a turkey hangover of flannel pants and unwashed hair and Netflix. Those two words, for some, conjure images of waiting for the Big Box stores to open, or prowling downtown streets for sweet deals in the wee hours after midnight, arms overflowing with packages. Due to the high value of the items found within a safebox, they are always guarded by various NPCs, often including guards. Windhelm, also known as the City of Kings, is an ancient city in the region of Eastmarch, Skyrim. They resemble ornate rectangular silver boxes with a hinged top. Icon icon, Hollowjack, The Hollowjack style can be obtained by. *side note, some side quests do give you options for dialogue and conversations to skip extra work, similar to persuade and intimidate. A Safebox Safeboxes are locked containers containing valuable items which are found across Tamriel. The Hlaalu style can be obtained by stealing from homes, persons, and safeboxes in Vvardenfell. However I complete every map before moving on, and have been fortunate enough to be able to do so, apparently Ebonheart is one of the least buggy alliances? or My guild and I are just lucky as hell. No, you dont have to do the side quests, generally I have seen that the "Map Quests" when you hover over their icon for the quest giver or reciever on the map then the name of who you have to see is green instead of the usual white, correct me if I am wrong tho, but that is what it seems to me. So I should pretty much do every quest I can find? Little hard with quiet a few being buggy They're the quests that deliberately send you to new areas and never finish a chain without giving you the next step. He's probably referring to any of the main quest lines for your alliance. What are 'main map story quests' exactly? (Though they clearly didn't learn from Falkfyr's Notes, as they just added a Wrothgar lorebook after 7 years that seems to have no post-quest location - maybe in another year they'll offer the fix with another comment about those of us who "somehow" missed it.Do the main map story quests in shadowfen, at the end of it you will take a boat to windhelm My fear is they are and that ZOS did not learn their lesson from the Kilt. I hope they are not as limited as they seem. I understand MMOs (excuse me, "online RPGs" that have massive multiplayer populations) have to incorporate some grind to keep players in game, but it seems fairly ridiculous to make them camp the same very few spawns. There can't be that many more treasure chests in that public dungeon than there are safeboxes in Murkmire. I'd also like to know this, and same for the lead for Mora's Whispers that has been found in treasure chests in the Vile Manse. Reminds me of people camping Minotaur boss in Gold Coast, while all along that furnishing lead drops from all Minotaurs in game. We're all just assuming that the first lead found means only possible location. So, no one is checking safeboxes in Blackwood or Shadowfen? I remember I was trying to finish Shadowfen fishing during that debacle and it was just awful lol. Soul crunching stuff who is likely to burn people out.įor sure, it also poisons otherwise peaceful zone chat as well for a good month or two. Safeboxes well that will be so much more toxic. None even chat ts they might miss the boss. Because it was hard to breathe in Morrowind due to the ash, some of these refugees came west, to the cities of Riften and Windhelm in Skyrim. When the Red Mountain erupted in 4E 5 the Dunmer population of Morrowind scattered across Tamriel. The camp is actually directly north of the wayshrine. You have say 8 players looking at the spawn point dropping AoE on cooldown to not miss the tick on boss who goes down in an second rater than group up and its an afk event, just loot the boss every 3 minutes. The Gray Quarter, formerly the Snow Quarter, is a district of the city Windhelm. Head south out of Windhelm, over the bridge, towards the Kynesgrove Wayshrine. However doing delve bosses for the ebony wolf lead, but also earlier for motif farming on the delve bosses. Random normal to vet DLC dungeons almost all are nice, PvP the same but the enemy players tries to kill you, asking for help on an WB and people come, more so if you share the quest and This, and the worst style of ESO players are the campers. There's nothing exciting about camping in front of a safebox spawn location and mashing a button hoping you are the first of 20+ people to register the button press. This is NOT engaging gameplay, it's not fun! Having them randomly drop off of enemies or available from surveys isn't the most engaging gameplay, but it's a heck of a lot better than this. Shadowfen was worse enough with limited water nodes but Murkmire has FAR LESS safebox spawn locations. I just knew this one was going to be a massive pain in the butt and sure enough. Yeah I got all 4 of the known leads last night and it seemed too easy.

Work in one direction (with the grain if you’re using wood) so you don’t get weird patterns from the sand paper. The composite material did have some dings and scratches to it, so the sanding took those off easily and creates a nice clean surface, but you really don’t have to go crazy here. You really don’t want any of those tiny particles getting in your lungs. Whenever you sand something, if possible, work outside and with a mask on. You can use plain old sheets of fine grit sand paper, or a palm sander may work for this as well if you keep a steady hand. Check out our wood buying mistakes to avoid here.Ī chop saw is ideal for this project but you can get the job done with a circular or even a hand saw with a miter box.Īlways take every safety precaution and read all directions first when using power tools!Ī quick sand to your quarter round will remove any scuffs, dings and imperfections that may be present. Obviously, if you want stained wood, purchase the wood. You can sand, cut and paint it just as you would regular wood, and a bonus for us is that is was already white, so I didn’t have to go crazy with several coats of paint. When shopping for my quarter round, I came across a composite quarter round that was much less expensive (the cost of wood these days! Woah!) AND is made with recycled materials. And we have it in most of the rest of the house so it all matches □. So the very simple solution was just to butt it up to the molding again and add some quarter round. This, of course, would cause a chain effect as we wouldn’t have been able to lay the peel and stick floors over damaged floors, would have had to repair the floors, fix the walls, get new molding…Īnd I wasn’t up for that much work for a temporary fix! We would have damaged the floors, walls, and moldings trying to remove them. We recently refinished our floors in our bedroom using simple peel and stick tiles as a temporary fix before a (hopefully) big reno down the line.Ĭheck out how we installed the new floors here!īut we were unable to remove the moldings first as the previous floors were installed by butting them up against the molding. Luckily, installing quarter round is a simple DIY that can be completed in just a few short hours and creates a beautiful finished look. No matter how close you get your new floors to the edge of your existing molding, there will always be a noticeable gap and uneven edges. Please write if you know of other examples or can explain more about the technique.Installing quarter round is an easy and inexpensive fix when you are unable to remove all your molding before laying new floors. Rot and wood worm must have got into it, but someone thought that that it was worth saving and, perhaps inspired by the Alps which aren’t too far away, scarfed in a new footing. The last was this remarkable repair to the bottom of a pine cupboard. But what on earth was it doing in an abbey that had stopped functioning as an institution during the reformation in the early 1500s? It too, had a date carved in it – 1697, just visible bottom right – which seems plausible enough. The second was this fine chest decorated with paint and chip carving. Maybe it’s an attraction of opposites but, as an instrument maker who has to fuss about tenths of a millimetre, I couldn’t help thinking what fun it would be to chop out mortices and tenons on this sort of scale. Here are three: the first was this enormous wine press which, if the carving on the main beam is to be believed, was built in 1711. Frustrating because there was so little explanation: no convincing narrative about how or why the place, which ceased to be a religious foundation 500 years ago, still exists.Įven so, it contained several things to interest woodworkers. Fascinating because of the interest of the buildings and their contents. A trip this summer took me to Stein am Rhein in northern Switzerland, where I visited the museum of the abbey of St Georgen – a place both fascinating and frustrating. On his expedition in Africa to find the source of the White Nile in 1840, Werne camped at Lake No, part of a 12,000-square-mile wetland called the Sudd in what is now South Sudan. European naturalists were introduced to shoebills in the 1840s.Ī German diplomat and explorer named Ferdinand Werne was the first European to hear about the shoebill. In fact, this characteristic confused taxonomists: In the past, some felt that the shoebill’s habit placed it within the family of true storks, since all true storks also use their own droppings to cool off. Shoebills practice urohydrosis, the effective-if revolting-habit of defecating on their legs to lower their body temperature. More recent studies on the shoebill's eggshell structure and DNA have supported its place among the Pelecaniformes. “There is, in fact, not the shadow of a doubt that it is either a heron or a stork but the question is, which?” zoologist Frank Evers Beddard wrote in 1905. Others countered that herons have specialized feathers than release a powdery down to help with preening, but shoebills didn’t have these feathers, so they must be storks belonging to the family Ciconiiformes. Some taxonomists said that the shoebill's syrinx, or vocal organ, resembled those of herons belonging to the family Pelecaniformes, which also includes ibises, pelicans, and boobies. Over the past couple of centuries, naturalists have debated where shoebills should appear on the Tree of Life. Shoebills may be more closely related to pelicans than storks. Complemented by their golden eyes, the posture affects a very convincing death stare. Shoebills can stand virtually motionless for hours with their bills held down against their necks. You really can’t mistake them for any other bird: They grow 4 to 5 feet tall, have bluish-gray plumage and an 8-plus-foot wingspan, and their bill, which takes up a majority of their face, looks like a huge Dutch wooden clog. Shoebills live in the vast wetlands of the Nile watershed in eastern Africa. Shoebill storks could win staring contests. But there are a lot of misconceptions about shoebill storks-the first being that they're not actually storks. These stately wading birds stalk the marshes of South Sudan, Uganda, and elsewhere in tropical East Africa, snatching up prey with their unique, immediately recognizable bills. Shoebills inhabit swampy regions in and around the White Nile area of northeastern Africa.Shoebill storks have been called the world’s most terrifying bird (though the cassowary might disagree). They nest on either floating vegetation or solid mounds and lay one to three white eggs, which hatch in about 30 days. Like herons and pelicans, shoebills fly with the head held back against the body. The shoebill claps the mandibles of its bill together as a display, producing a loud, hollow sound. The head is large in proportion to the body, and the eyes are also exceptionally large. They are entirely gray, with broad wings and long legs. Shoebills stand about 115 cm (3.8 feet) tall. This big bird also eats turtles, fish, and young crocodiles. The species is named for its clog-shaped bill, which is an adaptation for catching and holding the large, slippery lungfish, its favourite food. Shoebill, ( Balaeniceps rex), also called shoe-billed stork or whale-headed stork, large African wading bird, a single species that constitutes the family Balaenicipitidae (order Balaenicipitiformes, Ciconiiformes, or Pelecaniformes).
– Feature a full line of nationally advertised brands.– Give shoppers more for their food dollar through high volume/low profit margin retailing.In fact, many of the conveniences and services that American shoppers now enjoy were introduced first by Piggly Wiggly®. Piggly Wiggly’s introduction of self-service grocery shopping truly revolutionized the grocery industry. Someone once asked him why he had chosen such an unusual name for his organization, to which he replied, “So people will ask that very question.” Regardless of his inspiration, he succeeded in finding a name that would be talked about and remembered. One story says that, while riding a train, he looked out his window and saw several little pigs struggling to get under a fence, which prompted him to think of the rhyme. Saunders’ reason for choosing the intriguing name “Piggly Wiggly®” remains a mystery he was curiously reluctant to explain its origin. The stock was successfully traded on the New York Stock Exchange for some time, but through a series of trades in the early 1920s, Saunders lost control of Piggly Wiggly® and had no further association with the company.ĭespite Saunders’ departure, Piggly Wiggly Corporation continued to prosper as a franchiser for hundreds of independently owned grocery stores operating under the Piggly Wiggly® name. Piggly Wiggly Corporation became the owner of all Piggly Wiggly® properties – the name, the patents, etc., and Saunders began issuing company stock soon after. Piggly Wiggly Corporation, which Saunders established when he opened his first store in Memphis, secured the self-service format and issued franchises to hundreds of grocery retailers to operate their own Piggly Wiggly® stores. There were shopping baskets, open shelves, and no clerks to shop for the customer – all of which were previously unheard of! Operating under the unusual name ‘Piggly Wiggly®’, it was unlike any other contemporary grocery store. Saunders, a dynamic and innovative man, noticed that this method resulted in wasted time and expense, so he came up with an unheard-of solution that would revolutionize the entire grocery industry: he developed a way for shoppers to serve themselves.ĭespite predictions that his novel idea would fail, Saunders’ first store opened on Septemat 79 Jefferson Street in Memphis. In grocery stores of that time, shoppers presented their orders to clerks who then gathered the goods from the store shelves. Piggly Wiggly®, America’s first true self-service grocery store, was founded in Memphis, Tennessee in 1916 by Clarence Saunders.
