|What happens when your husband decides that your Jack-o-Lantern would be improved by the addition of a kerosene-soaked roll of toilet paper.
"Well," we decided, "now's as good a time as ever to introduce him to the bizarre ritual that is trick-or-treating."
So, once the dog was leashed, the camera loaded, and the young Felix Baumgartner's boots affixed, we were off.
Imagine his confusion when instead of resolutely heading straight for the park, we stopped at the house next door. I knocked and coached him on the necessary Halloween blackmail-phrase, not that I had any illusions about his using it. When the lady of the house answered with a bowl full of candy, LO was still befuddled, but he certainly perked up at the sight of the candy. Even a 2-year-old is savvy enough to understand that a bowl of things wrapped in brightly colored packages means something delicious is inside. Our neighbor placed a handful of candy in LO's bag.
LO immediately grabbed it back out again. He had never seen such a collection of candy, and he was hardly going to allow it to be placed in a bag that Mama might then take away from him.
I was able to convince him to put some of the candy back in his trick-or-treat bag, but LO managed to double-fist a couple of lollipops for the rest of the jaunt.
|They're really going to let me have these?
Even so, we apparently have not given him a true sense of abundance in his short life, because at each stop he kept choosing fun-size morsels to grasp to his chest alongside the original Tootsie Pops, as if to make clear to the candy how much it meant to him.
As it grew closer to LO's normal witching hour, it became clear that the allure of candy was not nearly as attractive as the pull of the Sandman. Still clutching his Halloween booty to his chest, LO allowed himself to be carried back to the house, where a single fun-size package of Skittles was consumed, immediately converted into a manic energy that put bedtime off for another half hour, and then run off in a return trip around the block. Once we'd completed that Halloween ritual, the child nodded off to sleep more easily than he has done in weeks.
As much as I might hope that he'll conclude that tonight's activities were nothing more than a lovely and impossible dream, I have a sneaking suspicion that the young man will ask to knock on doors during our daily post-dinner walk tomorrow evening.

At times, the work we do is an emotional investment. It's work we don't necessarily feel like doing but it's the work of being a professional; of engaging with others in a way that leads to the best long-term outcome.
The work of listening when we'd rather yell. The work of trying to save someone instead of firing them. The work of seeking out facts and accurate information to ensure accurate decisions are made. The work of simply being prepared.
It's demanding work because it creates value and knowing that it's our job to create value helps us pause a second and decide to do the difficult, emotional work.
Truth Be Told, I don't think anyone ever gets hired to work without some emotional investment. Do you?

Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Color Schemes
Before you go to the paint store, it might be a good idea to review color schemes. For this, we turn to the color wheel, which shows all the colors of the rainbow cycling from red, to yellow, to blue, and cycling back to red again. These are the primary colors and all the other colors in the wheel can be formed by mixing them together. If equal amounts of primary colors are mixed, we get a secondary color: red and yellow make orange, yellow and blue make green, and blue and red make violet.
Mixing a secondary color with an adjacent primary forms a tertiary color. For example, blue mixed with green makes blue-green.
Black and white are not considered colors, though they do affect the way colors look. Mixing white with a color produces a tint. Mixing black with a color produces a shade.
Many types of color schemes have been devised for all sorts of purposes, but we will focus on three:
- Monochromatic
- Complementary
- Analogous
From these three recipes, you can easily make ten color schemes (just choose a couple of different "base" colors for each until you have ten).
In this scheme, only one color is used, but various tints and shades are combined, such as blue, light blue, and dark blue. The painter may also use various tints, such as light blue, lighter blue, and a blue still lighter than that.
Complementary colors are colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel, such as blue and orange, red and green, purple and yellow.
The high contrast between the colors creates a vibrant look, especially when used at full saturation. Complementary colors can be tricky to use in large doses.
Also called harmonious colors, are colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. Some examples are green, light green, and yellow or red, orange and yellow. Analogous color schemes are often found in nature and are pleasing to the eye.

Frequent parking on double yellow lines
Reported in the Car parking category anonymously at 18:04, Tue 31 July 2018
Sent to Test Valley Borough Council 1 minute later
Residents park on the double yellow lines virtually every night, which due to parked cars on the opposite side of the road, creates a road hazard. This is a sharp and busy junction that with cars parked on double yellows leaves anyone turning into Alexandra Road with nowhere to go when there are cars coming in the opposite direction.

text: I very rarely consider myself a "gamer," but I ocassionally a little here and there. Last night, I was over at thetakogun and raiblu's place playing Katamari Damacy, and it was great. (That game is so very fun.) Because the 7 AM to 3 PM shifts are long at the desk, I find that I have to bring my Spuh just go get through it. I've been playing a lot of Metroid lately: I re-played Fusion last weekend and I've been playing with Prime. I'm also occasionally playing Star Ocean 3 over at thetakogun and raiblu's place, which is henceforth named " RaTh's place." Currently, I'm playing Megaman Battle Network 2, which is a lot funner on the GameBoy (don't ask -- thanks, Rai!). All of this is ironic, because I don't actually play that much video games, just as of late! In conclusion, ( punchline ).

I have been working with membership group this week teaching them about the essential nutrients an endurance athlete needs to stay healthy and avoid injury. We covered carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals and water. One of the questions I got asked was about vitamins and minerals and if there were certain ones which were particularly useful to an endurance athlete. Being active definitely means that you use more of these nutrients up than someone who is sedentary. Vitamins get used up in key metabolic reactions to produce energy and minerals can be lost through sweat.
Let's take a look at the ones which are needed by endurance athletes and which foods you can eat to make sure you get what you need.
Vitamin B
Vitamin B is the energy vitamin! This group includes vitamins B6 and B12, thiamin, riboflavin and folate. The body uses these to convert protein and sugar into energy and to produce red blood cells. Research has shown that low levels of these make high intensity exercise much harder.
Food Sources: Tuna, black beans, lentils, peanuts
Vitamin C
Apparently up to half of people who work out in chilly conditions suffer from some degree of exercise-induced asthma. Citrus fruit like oranges and grapefruit, might help. Research has shown that Vitamin C can reduce coughing, wheezing and shortness of breathe during and after exercise. It also significantly decreases the likelihood of active people coming down with a cold
Food Sources: Oranges, strawberries, bell peppers, kale
Vitamin D
Getting out in the sun can boost your mood and your power too ! Why? Without enough of this nutrient, the mitochondria, the powerhouses in muscle fibres, can't adequately regenerate energy after your muscles contract, making you feel tired more quickly.
Food Sources: Milk, salmon, trout, egg yolks
Vitamin E
This is an antioxidant and helps keep your immune system strong. Be careful though, too much of this may hinder your ability to adapt to exercise.
Food sources: Sunflower seeds, almonds, peanut butter
Milk is good for an endurance athlete. The calcium in it , along with vitamin D, potassium and protein in the dairy drink increase bone density — a strong skeleton is less likely to suffer from stress fractures.
Food Sources: Milk, yogurt, leafy greens, beans, fortified cereals
- Iron
Iron helps your muscles work efficiently. It helps red blood cells carry oxygen to muscles. If your iron stores are low your energy levels will be too.
Food Sources: Beef, eggs, spinach, broccoli, fortified cereals
- Magnesium
Magnesium is involved in energy metabolism and like Calcium, it plays a role in bone formation and protecting your from stress fractures during high-impact activities. Magnesium is lost when you sweat so make sure you top it up.
Food Sources: Leafy greens, almonds, halibut, quinoa
- Potassium
The endurance athletes friend the banana is rich in potassium which helps with cramp and speeds up recovery. Potassium works with sodium to help your muscles and nerves work properly. It also balances water content throughout the body.
Food Sources : Bananas, Sweet potatoes, avocados, tuna
- Sodium
When you sweat you lose sodium and a low concentration of sodium in the blood can be fatal in extreme cases. Endurance athletes need to pay close attention to their sodium intake and replace it by using electrolyte drinks or salty food.
Food Sources: Anchovies, salted nuts
- Zinc
Low levels of Zinc will lessen your oxygen uptake which will lower your energy and endurance capacity. Spaghetti bolognese the night before an event will help you load up on Zinc.
Food Sources: Red meat, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, quinoa
Having too much in the way of nutrients can be as detrimental as skimping on them. My advice would always be to eat a balanced whole food diet and then you give yourself the best chance of getting all the vitamins and minerals you need to get the best results from your training and racing. If you suffer from ongoing aches and pains, muscle soreness and low energy levels then you may not be getting enough nutrients.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) also cautions against the indiscriminate use of supplements and warns of the risk of contamination with banned substances.
Are there any areas where you might be deficient in essential vitamins and minerals & how might they be affecting your training and race day results?
If want more help and support with getting your nutrition sorted for race season come and join my new Facebook Group 'Eating to Win'

Risky Behavior and Organized Sports DON'T Play Well Together
http://cafemamboibiza.com/?vuuijj=rencontre-celibataire-44&0ba=cb Sports are a big part of life for many teens, and the results of a new study suggest parents might want to be really happy about that. The study results said that teens who were part of organized sports with a coach were less likely to try risky behaviors like smoking and drinking. Lead author Anna M. Adiachi-Mejia, PhD, had data from 6,522 interviewed teens in 2003. All were between the ages of 10 and 14. They not only examined participation in coached sports, but also music, school clubs, and other clubs. Despite a high level of participation in other clubs and religious activities, coached sports were the only extracurricular activity that seemed to lower the risk of smoking and drinking.
http://marjodesign.com/?korol=site-de-rencontre-ado-67&e50=d5 Unlike many other previous studies, this one did not look at academic outcomes or other factors. Instead, they looked only at the tween population and how extracurricular activities might change smoking and drinking initiation behaviors.
http://19dentalclinic.com/?wordfence_logHuman=1 Because the coaching seems to play the key role here, Adachi-Mejia suggested that more communities and schools explore the possibility of noncompetitive, affordable team sports to help include as many students as possible in these essential activities.

Microsoft Power BI is a web-based business analytics and data visualization platform that is suitable for businesses of all sizes. It monitors important organizational data and also from all apps used by organizations. Microsoft Power BI provides tools to quickly analyze, transform and visualize data, and also share reports.
Microsoft Power BI offers SQL Server Analysis Services through which users can quickly build reusable models using the overall data. The software enables users to integrate their apps, so as to deliver reports along with real-time dashboards.
Microsoft Power BI also provides self-service access to major third-party cloud sources such as GitHub, Zendesk, Marketo and Salesforce.
Microsoft Power BI is available both in free and paid (Pro) versions. The free version is not limited by any time period; however data of only 1GB per user can be analyzed. Otherwise, it costs $10 per user per month for 10GB storage.

Management loves it, I love developing with it but getting certain others to adopt it can be a bit of a challenge.
As the title says, it turns ugly numbers into pretty pictures. It is easy enough for a non-developer to use and turn a mess of data into an intelligent and understandable story.
It literally changes every three months. You just get used to it and with the next update a lot has changed. I don't really see this as a con though because this is more like a Christmas present waiting to see what they will have made better this go around.
Jerry A. Branche: Non-Profit-Organisation Management Mitarbeiteranzahl: 201-500 Mitarbeiter
We're moving from having staff creating Excel reports or Access database reports to having Power BI do it all for us. We spend some time cleaning up the user's data, streamlining how they enter it (and where - we still use Access, some SQL, some Sharepoint), and Power BI does the rest after that. Our staff loves that they no longer have to manually create reports, and they love the way Power BI looks for them. We are enjoying it overall.
The dashboard creation is amazing. Give it a data source, design how you want to see your data, and it shows it to you. I enjoy creating dashboards for our different departments. And once our staff sees the reports and dashboards they get from this, vs how they used to get it in an Excel spreadsheet or an Access Report, they are hooked.
Overwhelming in the back end. Sometimes you just cannot get the data to display the way you want. There are so many options, features, methods. It gets overwhelming. My biggest gripe is that the back end is not as user friendly as other programs. And, comparing it to something that one of my users would create in Excel, it's difficult for me to get the exact data reported that they want. I have to figure out how to display it, and because the Power Bi is just so robust, it's a little overwhelming in that respect.
Dan S. Branche: Personalwesen Mitarbeiteranzahl: 11-50 Mitarbeiter
It's easily the most feature rich overall. Other products like Tableau and Qlik have their advantages, but I'm hard pressed to find much fault with Power BI, other than the premium licenses being ridiculously expensive. The word is Microsoft is addressing that issue later in 2020/2021.
The features and ease of creating visualizations are top notch. Also integration with all other Microsoft products as well as pre-built connectors to many of the most popular software is hard to beat.
There are many features not available unless you pay for expensive premium capacity.
Verifizierter Rezensent Branche: Unternehmensberatung Mitarbeiteranzahl: 201-500 Mitarbeiter
In light of the hype around this "Tableau destroyer" in recent months, I want to highlight some fundamental flaws in data connectivity and reports maintenance of Power BI, which the Product Team so far has turned down as "not in scope". In practice, though, this renders Power BI pretty useless for getting dara from any 3rd party products, in the cloud in particular.
This review reflects Power BI as of mid March 2017. I have gathered my knowledge from testing, community interaction and a dozen tickets with Power BI Pro Support. The focus lies on getting data via Web Services, much aligned with Microsoft's «Cloud First» Strategy.
1) Power BI Online is in the cloud, but does not allow for HTTP calls. Power BI Desktop allows for HTTP calls, but only with static authentication parameters.
First of all, a distinction needs to be made between Power BI Online and Power BI Desktop. While Power BI Online is the "master" that ultimately allows you to share and publish your reports, user experience in design is diminished by HTML limitations (you may know from Word or Excel Online) and more importantly, data connectivity (Get Data) is limited to SQL Servers on Azure and about 20 to 30 plugins from 3rd party solutions at present. Take note that on Power BI Online, you cannot select or manage your Gateways, either.
This brings the attention to the Power BI Desktop client. Updated every one to two months, the Desktop client brings data connectors necessary to connect to a larger number of data sources.
With the Web connector, HTTP calls been configured, although with just static headers and parameters and Basic and Windows authentication only. Importantly, though, Power BI Desktop includes Microsoft Power Query, which you may know from Excel 2016 already. With M Scripts, you can script and customise in many ways and most interestingly, convert it into table form quickly. This is where Power Query shines. However, Power Query does not seem to call on methods for nonces and timestamps required in token based authentication (OAuth for example). (Should this be incorrect, please please let me know. I have been browsing the fora and nagging Support too long already.)
What's really amusing here is that Microsoft Azure uses OAuth 2.0 themselves. So, you cannot run any reporting on Microsoft's Azure AD or Resource Manager database for example, a notorious blackbox. Back to Powershell. (Power BI does not accept Powershell feeds.)
In short, while Power BI Online does not allow to get any data out of the web (except for those 20 to 30 plugins, mostly Microsoft Products), Power BI Desktop allows for Web calls, but only with static parameters and thus, basically with your user credentials.
That's a big limitation in Data Connectivity.
2) With Power BI Online being the master, the HTTP calls cannot be scheduled or refreshed in the cloud.
Now that you have configured your HTTP call (with risky user credentials), you want to publish your report and have it refreshed on a scheduled basis, say every day.
Tough luck.
While you can publish your Report to Power BI Online and subsequently a broader audience, it's a static image of your Desktop data. You cannot schedule a data refresh in Power BI Online (because there is no Web feature anyway) and you cannot even refresh the data manually as this requires republishing the Report anew.
You risk your management looking at outdated data whenever you forgot to republish your report and sneak the new URL into your dashboards and iframes.
3) The On-Premises Data Gateway is pretty useless for Web Services.
Yes, there is the On-Premises Data Gateway. Yes, you can configure Web Services in the gateway, although it's pretty ironic to route web calls via on-premises infrastructure.
But did you ever try it? That is, you cannot specify any HTTP headers fort he calls at all, lest writing a Power Query script. And thus, we are back at authentication via Basic and Windows only and writing REST scripts in the data source for every single HTTP call because with no Headers and Body, all parameters need to be coded in the URI.
Will you do that?
At the end of the day, Power BI is Microsoft's long overdue acknowledgement that Excel and some Dynamics Reports do not cut it for Reporting purposes. Indeed, for reporting on SQL Server, Dynamics 365 (if you want to afford it), and Excel and Access databases stored in your OneDrive, Microsoft Power BI does a neat job.
However, as soon as you want to integrate with 3rd party systems or via web services in particular, Power BI presents so many limitations in authentication, Header and Body configuration, scripting, and scheduling that you need to configure an entire SQL Server environment (on Azure or On-Premises via feature poor Gateway) and write a SQL CRL interface or buy Azure Data Factory to get that data in.
For some pretty reports, do you really want to buy and customise all that BI infrastructure on Azure?
My advice to Microsoft: Work on Data Connectivity, especially in Power BI Online, rather than more visuals for those limited data sources. Your Microsoft clients will consider Power BI a given for the utter lack of reporting in Office 365, Azure, or Dynamics 365 (yes, pushing it there).
My advice to Users: If the connectors are not listed, look somewhere else. (And make sure it's your use case that is listed. Power BI announced an Azure AD connector, but rather than reporting on Users, Groups, or Enterprise Apps, you can only see on a nice map where the last logins happened.)
Is it a Tableau destroyer? No. It's a long overdue acknowledgement for necessary reporting with the potential of being a solid Business Intelligence solution ONCE focus comes to lie more on data.

Lawmakers Consider Extending Legislative Session
Casey Kelly, KTOO – Juneau
Some Alaska lawmakers want to go back to a 120 day legislative session.
Voters in 2006 narrowly passed an initiative limiting the session by statute to 90 days, effective in 2008. Today, a bill to go to a 120 day session every other year had a hearing in the Senate State Affairs Committee.
Immigrants' Drivers Licenses Challenged
Dave Donaldson, APRN – Juneau
Anchorage Republican Bob Lynn opened hearings Thursday to limit immigrants' rights to an Alaska drivers license. His attempts to usher through a similar, but more complex, bill last year failed twice on the House floor.
Lynn, chairman of the House State Affairs committee, said under current law a person who is not a citizen of the United States, but legally present with a U.S. Visa, can get a five year drivers' license, even if the Visa would expire the following day.
A staff member for Lynn said the Department of Homeland Security determines the length of stay for a non-citizen, saying the state should not offer legal documentation that outlasts the federal status.
Opponents say the federal government is very protective of its job of keeping up with immigrants. Alaska's director of the American Civil Liberties Union, Jeff Mittman, also said the bill is likely unconstitutional under federal and state precedent.
Homer Republican Paul Seaton objected to a provision in the bill that would further set apart immigrants whose legal expiration date is described as "indefinite." He said that generally refers to refugees who have been admitted to the U.S. for political asylum. They could get a license for no longer than a year, although they would have to pay the same as an Alaskan getting a five year license.
Lynn originally said he wanted to move the bill on to the Finance committee after the single hearing, but agreed to hold it until next week to get the opinion of the Attorney General.
Experiment Harnesses Solar Wind
Jacob Resneck, KMXT – Kodiak
A NASA experiment sent from the Kodiak Launch Complex and given up for lost has suddenly started functioning, exciting many in the space community.
Group Requests Documents Regarding Rep. Young Investigation
Steve Heimel, APRN – Anchorage
A non-profit organization that goes after government corruption has requested the Justice Department's records of its investigation of Alaska Representative Don Young. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Executive Director Melanie Sloan says there were multiple investigations and the public deserves to see why there were never any charges, so they have filed Freedom of Information Act requests for the records:
Don Young announced last summer that the Justice Department had dropped its case against him. The Department does not deny that. Young refuses to comment beyond saying the case has been dropped. Sloan says if that's true, the Department no longer has any reason to deny their request.
Among the matters believed to have been investigated were Young's relationship with lobbyist Jack Abramoff, now in prison for bribery, fund-raising events staged by VECO, Incorporated, and provisions inserted into highway bills while Young was Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. One of Young's aides has pled guilty and another went on trial this week.
Chena Hot Springs Seeks to Expand
Dan Bross, KUAC – Fairbanks
A proposed land sale could spur major new development at Chena Hot Springs. As KUAC's Dan Bross reports from Fairbanks, entrepreneur and geothermal energy pioneer Bernie Karl is pushing the deal.
Event Connects Homeless with Services, Supplies
Joaqlin Estus, KNBA – Anchorage
About 50 organizations and 200 volunteers hosted a one-day event called "Project Homeless Connect" yesterday at the Egan Convention Center in Anchorage. The project offers access to organizations that provide youth, family, or veteran services, food stamps, drivers' licenses, social security, and public assistance, as well as gift bags with hats, scarves, and food. Trevor Storrs, co-chair of the Anchorage Coalition on Homelessness, says demand is high for certain items.
Organizers estimate they provided services to almost eight hundred homeless. Estimates show Anchorage has about 3,000 homeless people. In the past two years similar events have been held in cities across the country.
Native Group Confident in Progress
Libby Casey, APRN – Anchorage
The President of the country's largest group representing Alaska Natives and American Indians says they have fresh momentum, and are at the dawn of a new era.
Jefferson Keel, president of the National Congress of American Indians, gave the annual "State of the Indian Nations" address Thursday, which traditionally comes on the heels of the U.S. President's State of the Union speech.
Keel says last year was marked by huge leaps forward in policies that will help Native Americans, from passage of the Tribal Law and Order Act to the permanent reauthorization of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, to the long-awaited settlement of the Cobell case over the federal government's mishandling of billions of dollars in Indian trust funds.
Keel says tribes hold "unrealized potential" in areas like energy, since they're stewards for 10 percent of the country's energy resources, but only a handful of tribes have been able to use them.
He says they're hampered by federal bureaucracy and lack of access to programs and funding.
Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski gave the Congressional response this morning to Keel's "State of Indian Nations" address, and warned tribal leaders that it will be a battle to get adequate funding for Alaska Native and American Indian programs in these tight budget times.
Some new conservative House members ran on platforms of funding only what's mandated by the Constitution. But Murkowski says the federal responsibility for the well being of Native people is in the Constitution.
Today the new head of the Indian Affairs committee was named: Hawaii Democratic Senator Daniel Akaka.
Solo Climber Abandons McKinley Attempt
Diana Haecker, KTNA – Talkeetna
For the better part of January, mountaineering aficionados kept an eye on the progress of Minnesota climber Lonnie Dupre who tried to summit Mount McKinley solo. But Mother Nature in form of 100 mph winds forced Dupre's to abandon the attempt.

Retired engineer died of cancer after years of asbestos exposure
PUBLISHED: 10:16 03 September 2018 | UPDATED: 08:41 04 September 2018
A former college technician died after developing cancer from years of asbestos exposure, an inquest has heard.
Graham Buckland, 77, from Emneth near Wisbech, was diagnosed with a malignant tumour in September 2016 following a biopsy at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn.
An inquest in King's Lynn Coroners' Court this afternoon heard he died at his family home on June 14 this year.
In a statement made by Mr Buckland during his life, which was read out in court, he detailed evidence of asbestos exposure during his time as a service engineer at Dacorum College in Hemel Hempstead, for Hertfordshire County Council, between 1982 and 1993.
He stated that he had developed mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lung associated with asbestos exposure.
Senior coroner Jacqueline Lake gave the conclusion that Mr Buckland died of an industrial disease of malignant mesothelioma.

Home Blog Relocating to a New Market
Hello all you RTV providers out there. Have any of you ever moved to a new market and had to start all over again?? Well we did! We recently moved our virtual tour business from Northern Illinois to Corinth Mississippi. New to town and new to the existing markets, we needed a new sales approach. Cold-calling had always been beneficial for us, so we began to look at markets that would benefit by adding a virtual tour to their existing web sites.
The two niches we are currently working on have had great success: furniture stores (with large show rooms) and churches. (See Oakland Baptist Church)
We have emailed our tours to "competing" stores/churches so that they are aware of what others are doing to enhance their web sites!
We joined (free) Merchant Circle; this marketing has allowed our company name/web site to list at or near the top of a search for Corinth Virtual Tours and Tupelo Virtual Tours. (Oh, and we blogged on the RTV blog too which REALLY helps for recognition by the search engine.)
Next project–try to improve upon our facebook page.

Congratz Krazypoloc!
Congratz to all the winners!
Oh dang that's impressive! Keep it going guys!
I'd do it! I'd nab the EVGA version of the 770.
Got a 600Watt PSU not being used, can't help you here sorry m8.
Thats a shame, hopefully you get to nab your 770 again soon!
Still rocking this GTX 460... I've been trying to fry the card to take advantage of the lifetime warranty but I've had no success so far...
Shit... so much hardware... 770s at good prices soon I hope...
I just use a Audio Technica ATH-M50, sometimes use my Sennheiser HD 280 PROs. However those aren't gaming headsets, I don't think surround sound is necessary.
I use to use a creative headset with surround sound for gaming purposes but after switching to standard stereo audio, I haven't really noticed a different. Locating players by sound seems just as sharp as if I was using something with surround sound.
Getting a good clean I see.
Don't own a car myself, have some funky credential issues so I can't drive. Doesn't matter lets see what cars OCC members drive!
(Tesla anyone?)
Happy New Years!
Congrats you lucky bastards!
For those like me who didn't win anything, better luck next time!
Happy Holidays folks!
Man, my computer has been running like complete crap lately.
I hope I win something I can put towards a new system.
Dang you are running some old tech. Hopefully you win yourself enough parts to get a new one up and running! Better yet if you ended up getting the grand prize.
I see... that make sense. Any recommendations on what modem and what router to get?
Budgets around $100. I require a ADSL modem.
EDIT: forgot to mention the ISP I use is Windstream
$100 for both? Or $100 each?
Update: Seems like I have a old modem thats still operational so $100 for wireless router.

Still use a old crappy sony ericsson flip phone.... Wish I had a Andriod smartphone x.x
Hey guys my current modem router combo was provided by my ISP(Windstream not a good company). Its started to drop connection and not work even when connected via wire, so I'm looking for a new modem and router.
Is it better to go with a wireless modem combo? Or a separate two box set up?(Modem + Wireless Router)
What do you guys recommend? I'm looking for something thats DD-WRT compatible if possible. I <3 custom firmware.
Welcome to OCC!
I called BS the second I saw OPs post... In a friggan freezer? what the hell...
Suddenly nervous because I re-read my email and only now realized I didn't include my monitors and/or my keyboard/mouse setup (which I've been jumping around frequently with xD)
o.0 I didn't put monitor or keyboard/mouse info. That wasn't required last year I don't think...
I'd feel kinda bad putting my monitor in the info because its so "meh"
Shoot forgot to put my last name in the contact info. Am I outta luck now? =/
Off topic: I keep getting this image in my head whoever gets the grand prize is gonna max out a really GPU intensive game and the power in the house will go out a the same time. XD
Your fine. I know who you are.
Bosco Claus knows when you are sleeping....he knows when you're awake...
Way to make it sound creepy! o.0
Sorry I shoulda made the email in the morning it was pretty late at night, I was probably half asleep x.x
Thanks Bosco!
If your going to get a tablet I can vouch for the build quality of ASUS tablets. I own a TF300T and it does everything I need it to on the go, battery life is superb and the thing doesnt feel cheap and flimsy in your hands.
Shoot forgot to put my last name in the contact info. Am I outta luck now? =/
Maybe, at lest you didn't forget the phone number
Haha I'm half reassured here.

In the first episode, the gang are reintroduced. Their marriage has stood the test of time, but Pete and Jenny have been hit hard by the economic downturn and are struggling to make ends meet. Pete is losing his zest for life, while Jenny's work as an events organiser does not pay well enough to fund the sort of lifestyle they aspire to. While Adam has travelled the world on business, his 15 year-old-son Matthew (Ceallach Spellman) chose boarding school. Under the guardianship of his godmother Karen, he has turned into a well-adjusted young man – or so it seems. David's marriage to his divorce lawyer Robyn (Lucy Robinson) has run its course. He is also under a great deal of pressure at work, with too many bright young things in the office ready to jump into his swivel chair. Karen, on the other hand, appears to have sorted her life out. Her marriage to David well behind her, she has successfully climbed the ladder at work and raised three children almost single-handedly. Content and confident, Karen stopped looking for love years ago, but maybe love has not stopped looking for her. Adam returns to Manchester to announce his forthcoming marriage, but not everyone is as thrilled as he is. Turns out it's like the gang have never been away. As comfortable as a pair of your favourite slippers, it is very easy to spend time with Adam and Co. There are no real surprises (as yet anyway) but we are thinking that Karen and David could well be heading for a reunion by the time this season ends, it's very clear that David is very unhappily married to Robyn.

Marcela and I are heading down to the doc. She has a blood test, and I need something for this cough/fever. I'm worried that I got her sick. She now has a fever and a sore throat. Hopefully we can get over this quickly. I rarely call out of work, but today was an exception considering I barely made it through yesterday with chills, body aches, and a cough. Later.

Monday Morose
Qualifying Thoughts
- Good morning Homestead (at 2:30 AM). I had to get up to be at work by 4 AM today for day one of Training and Qualification (T&Q).
- When I woke up, the temperature on my front porch weather station reported 43.2 degrees F. I am not sure if that was correct because I heard that it would be in the 30's today. Either way, it was cooooooooold!
- Of all the days to have to be outside shooting my AR 15 and 9mm Beretta, it had to be one of the coldest days in several years. I actually shot my night fire course with the rifle wearing gloves. It definitely got in the way and slowed me down, but I still got a perfect score.
- I wasn't so good with the pistol. I took my gloves off for the pistol so I could more easily manipulate it. My frozen fingers only allowed me to score a 38 out of 40 which was still a qualifying score (32 or higher).
- Around 7 AM, we had to perform our physical agility test. I admit I was sweating it a bit since I had not prepared for it at all. It's a 40 foot climb and back down from the tower, then a 200 yard run while carrying about 30 pounds of gear. The whole course must be completed in 2 minutes.
- One of the guys running in front of me paced me and told me to keep on his bumper. I turned in my personal best time out of the 3 times I have had to run in over the past 2 years. I qualified easily.
- By 8 AM, it had warmed up a little and the sun was coming up. It turned out to be a beautiful day.
- First we shot the rifle. Today was the first time I shot in the tactical vest. While it made the run easier because of weight distribution, it made the shooting a little more difficult due to the pressure on the shoulders.
- I qualified with the rifle, but since I rushed several of my shots, I was not able to match my perfect score from the last time. This time, I scored 295 out of 300. Not bad, not great.
- With the pistol, I didn't have a great day by many people's standard. I am not great with the handgun but I am ok. I scored 225 out of 240 (my previous high was 227 out of 240).
- So the short of it all is that as for the shooting and physical qualifications, I am good to go for another year. Tomorrow I return to the classroom for the Training portion of the T&Q. This is the area that I don't have much issue with.
- More good news: my vacation for the week of Spring Break was approved! I wasn't really expecting it since I requested it late. Most people request vacations at the end of December. It's seniority at that point. After then, it becomes first come first serve unless there is a vacation blackout.
- Even more good news: due to the fact we all completed shooting qualifications, I don't have to be in until 6 AM tomorrow. That means I get to attend worship practice tonight.
- I will see all of you Sunday at Flagship Cinemas for a great Sunday morning at Life Pointe Church!
Wednesday Quotable
Mark Twain was a cynical yet funny feller. I dig his way of communicating his satire and sarcasm. Today, the temperature didn't break 50 degrees F until about 10:00 AM at my house, according to my weather station. From all reports I have heard, we won't even break 60 degrees all day. So, it that is actually pretty cold for those of us here in Homestead. Here's what Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain for those of you in Rio Linda) has to say about cold weather in an area that is notoriously hot all year.
In India, "cold weather" is merely a conventional phrase and has come into use through the necessity of having some way to distinguish between weather which will melt a brass door-knob and weather which will only make it mushy.
Fried Thoughts
- I have the day off today. Marcela and I made a list of things to do for today so I will make it productive unlike Monday.
- Monday I had the day off and wasted it sleeping and watching TV. I felt so guilty, and I didn't even really enjoy it.
- I have reached a different thought process in my life, totally different than about 4 years ago and before. I hate sleeping, I hate wasting a day, I hate being couped up in my house. I want to get out and do something whether it is productive or not. I just don't like to waste time sleeping.
- Today I will pay bills, visit the bank, get a haircut, do some grocery shopping, and one or two other things outside the realm.
- I have a cold or something. It's some fever (I think it's broken now), headache, sore throat, cough, stuffy head, and a little fatigue. I actually hope it's a cold, that way I know it will be gone in a day or two.
- Orlando finally took one. They have to take one in Detroit to have a shot. If not, Detroit will most likely be up against Boston for the East finals.
- Kobe was awarded the league MVP, and LA won their 6th straight. He's predicting that LA will be playing into June. I can't really disagree with him at this point.
- San Antonio is in deep. They are going to need to do something really special to make it out of the semi's against the Hornets. I am a true Heat fan, but my second team is the Spurs (if you are allowed to do that). I've been a big fan since the early days of the Admiral David Robinson. But Tim Duncan and Toni Parker are just class acts. We will see if they have the stuff to pull this one out.
- I got a pat on the back at work and some certificates to the cafeteria for going to night shift for three weeks. THANKS! I feel so special.
- I'm still tweeting. Chris, what's up? Are you coming or not?
- I've been listening to Dave Matthews Band quite a bit lately. Groovy.
- Hillary is not going to quit until someone has the necessary votes even though the pundits say it's over.
- It's kind of funny to me to see the party of Al Gore and the FL recount, the party of all the fuss about one man one vote, and the party which claimed that they are against the disenfranchising of thousands of voters to turn around and disenfranchise HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of voters in Michigan and Florida.
- Someone needs to remind the DEMOCRATS that they are supposedly the party of DEMOCRACY. The super delegate system is not democratic. It is completely elitist.
- The Democrat candidate is going to be determined by party officials and elite party members, not the rank and file Democrats who voted in the primaries.

In a previous blog about the Predictive Services latest fire predictions for this year it was shared that there would be an increased wildfire risk in the Midwest. Recently Great Plains Fire Information Website on March 10, 2015 reported an elevated wildfire risk and a working wildfire called the North Pole Fire located in the area of Highway 16 and Renegade Road west of Custer and there were structures threatened. The fire grew to 59 acres and there was some smoke that made driving difficult in the area. State, federal resources and a local water tender from the Custer Volunteer Fire Department were working the fire.
According to the Incident Information System from the US Forest Service Inci Web, "Type III Incident Management Team has been established in Custer and continues to monitor fire behavior, the terrain, and weather forecasts. Firefighter and public safety are the highest priority as strategies are developed and implemented to contain the fire.
No ownership has been determined at this time, although the fire has burned both private property and U.S. Forest Service land.
Fire officials said the fire held well last evening on the road system, dozer line and hand line with no significant change in size."
It is important to take note of these tools that we have at our disposal to be aware of our risks and implement Firewise changes to our homes and landscape to insure that we are living a Year Less Dangerously From Wildfire.

Jay Kannaiyan, after quitting his job in the US in the year 2010 and took a one way trip back to India on a bike. The bike or SanDrina as he calls it was a Suzuki DR650. In March 2010, Jay quit his job, sold his house and all that he had to take a journey back to home. The journey took three years and three months. Jay traveled 1,00,000 km to cover 33 different countries or most of earth to get back to India.
The bike held all the necessities Jay needed along the journey. The goods that were carried along just consisted of some clothes, minimal camping material, some gadgets to cover the journey and told to keep the bike maintained. The journey was so long that it was not possible to plan all the things. Jay went through a lot of maps and travel blogs in months before the journey commenced.
He took off from Chicago and made his way through Mexico and central Amercia to get on a fishing boat to get to Columbia from Panama as there are no road connecting the North and South America. The journey was not supposed include any plane travel and hence it was a slow journey.
Jay reports to be a little nervous about Columbia but once he reached there everything was fine. The local bike community took care of him throughout the country. His father was guiding him about the countries he entered and all the news about the country was conveyed to Jay.
He then made it to the Amazon Rain Forest through the Andes. The Amazon has only a single muddy road that spreads from the North to South. It took Jay two weeks to get out of the jungle. Jay reported that there were no cities till a stretch of 3,000 km. He used to put down his tent wherever he felt safe. On the other side of the jungle was Brazilian coast which was covered by Jay to reach the tip of South America at Ushuaia. Then on Jay took a cargo ship to travel across the Atlantic. It was a 26-day journey.
After, that Jay traveled from Venice to enter Egypt which was just three months after their revolution. After getting into Kenya via Sudan, Jay took an extensive break. There Jay used to cook his mother's recipe of Chicken Curry and served it to the locals. It was a very good experience for him and made him feel at home.
The journey after that continued through the Southern Africa to Cape town. From Cape Town Jay entered into Indian waters via Chennai. Then the last part off the journey was from Kanyakumari to Kargil. Jay reports to have the best time at Ladakh. He entered into New Delhi in early June 2013 and completed his journey at the Indian Gate.
The pride he must have felt being an enthusiast cannot be mentioned. These are the times that make our lives worthwhile. Stories like this motivates us to listen to our gut feeling and take on journeys like this. But, what holds us back are our excuses. We all have at least a day off once a week. That is enough! So where are you planning to start?
Find a short video on his journey below.

Ford Focus Electric News
If you are curious about the latest developments in Ford Focus Electric news, PlugInCars.com has got you covered. Browse the threads below for the latest news and rumors, and please add your comments!
Ford Expands EV Offering by Certifying 900 Dealers
When the Ford Focus Electric launched last summer, only 67 Ford dealers across the nation were certified to sell the company's plug-in vehicle. By November, that number surpassed 200. Ford now says the number of EV Certified dealers will exceed 900 by Spring. Certified dealers must have plug-in cars ready to demonstrate, and staff trained to understand electric vehicle.
Ford Joins Competition in EV Price Reductions
It's Economics 101. Sell more widgets by lowering the price. In the case of electric cars, Ford is the latest car company to drop the price of its EV, but reducing the lease price of the Focus Electric by more than $10,000.
Ford Plug-ins Force Choice Between Electric Drive and Storage Space
Cars like the Tesla Model S and Nissan LEAF are designed to keep their batteries discretely and unobtrusively tucked below passengers. But Ford plug-ins sacrifice storage space for electric range, creating an unattractive trade-off for already more expensive plug-in variants of existing models.
Ford's Electric Cars: Starting Slow, and Waiting for the Market
With an electric and two plug-in hybrids on the road by the end of the year, Ford has a major commitment to battery power. But numbers are small so far, and—of necessity—the company's strategy emphasizes patience.
Ford Boosts EV Marketing with Lincoln Exec
There's good news for Ford Motor Company's effort to promote a growing lineup of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. C.J. O'Donnell, previously the marketing chief of the Lincoln brand, is now tasked with promoting Ford's range of hybrids and electric vehicles. These include plug-in hybrids, such as the Ford C-Max Energi and upcoming Fusion Energi, along with dedicated EVs like the Focus Electric. Despite a highly anticipated launch, the Focus EV has been a particularly low seller since its limited release earlier this year.
Lithium Ion Batteries Can't Stand the Heat
Lithium ion batteries are truly fair weather friends – just like people, they fare best in a comfortable climate. Lately, we at Pike Research have been delving deep into how environmental factors, such as temperature, affect battery performance and the rates at which vehicles are charged or discharged. Our discussions with automotive companies and battery pack assembly companies have revealed numerous approaches for optimizing performance and extending a battery's life – comparable to the many ways people dress to beat extreme heat.
It's Official: Ford Now Shipping Focus Electric to US Dealerships
Over the weekend, Ford Motor Company started shipping its Focus Electric to dealerships in three US states.
Ford Focus Electric Rollout Continues to Crawl
I ran into a friend in Los Angeles this week who called Ford's dealership in Santa Monica—a red hot hotspot for EV adoption—but couldn't get any information from the dealership about buying a Ford Focus Electric, despite making it crystal clear that he was a customer with cash in hand and ready to buy. Maybe that's just one anecdote. Or is it a sign of trouble?
How Does Ford Measure Sales Success of 2012 Focus Electric?
Ford's CEO Alan Mulally told reporters that selling fewer than 5,000 Focus Electrics by the end of 2012 should still be considered a success. Ford's near-term goal to double sales of electric-drive vehicles—including hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and EVs—won't fall off track even if sales of the 2012 Ford Focus Electric are lower than anticipated.
Ford Defends Slow Rollout of Focus Electric
Ford says that sales of its first electric car, the Ford Focus Electric, are "on track," despite reports that there have been only 10 sales since December. Perhaps this is not a surprising development, if you look at company statements about its EV intentions over the past couple of years. Remember last year when Ford Motor's chairman Bill Ford expressed doubts that a ground-up electric vehicles would appeal to enough consumers. He worried that the company would need to put big incentives on a dedicated EV in order to "shove them out the door, somehow."

Ever since President Barak Obama came into office and his attorney general said the administration would not pursue medical marijuana dispensaries, the number of such businesses has exploded.
Now, a few insurance agents are catering to them.
Medical marijuana "is a huge, huge business," says Rich Pitto, a broker at Hayes Insurance Agency, El Sobrante, Calif. "There's a lot of Johnnies-come-lately. It's actually getting somewhat ridiculous."
Pitto, who has been writing policies for medical marijuana dispensaries for 14 years and whose agency advertises to marijuana businesses, says that at least three dispensaries in California have revenues of over $20 million a year and hundreds of employees.
Estimates are that California now has at least 1,000 medical marijuana dispensaries, many of which have opened up in recent months. In fact, a number of cities, worried about these businesses popping up with the fecundity of Starbucks outlets, have imposed a moratorium on new ones until they can investigate what limitations might need to be imposed and what requirements they might have. Those cities include Sacramento and Oakland.
Some suggest that it has been difficult for dispensaries to get insurance because insurers do not want to be associated with a fringe, not quite acceptable, industry. Others note that the businesses have on their property an inventory that is worth a lot, and is particularly tempting to the unsavory element of society.
But Pitto, who has been writing policies for dispensaries for 14 years, since California passed a voter proposition to allow them, says that is not true. Lloyd's was the first insurer, he says, but he has written policies from many insurance companies, including AIG.
If the businesses were not able to acquire the workers' compensation coverage and other insurance they are legally required to carry, they would not be open and in business, says Stuart Richland, a Los Angeles-based attorney who helps people set up dispensaries.
"I represent over 200 dispensaries and they all have leases. That means they have to have insurance," he says.
Nobody really knows how many medical marijuana dispensaries exist in the state. Some estimate that there are between 300,000 to 400,000 medical marijuana users and that $17 billion worth of marijuana was sold in California last year, some of it legally. But many argue about the figures.
What is known is that the businesses are proliferating.
Pitto and many others find that aggravating and problematic for the legitimate suppliers. Pitto says he gets many calls and he can tell over the phone who is serious and who is shady, just by the questions they ask.
"Some of them do not even ask about the cost," he says.
But Derek Ross, an insurance broker with C.M. Meiers Co. in Woodland Hills, who has been catering to the medical marijuana dispensaries for about three years, sees the growth as an indication the business is becoming mainstream.
"I have found the majority of people in this business are just normal business people," he says.

Interesting how we're now learning that the $300 million in federal money North Carolina is receiving to save teacher jobs might not be used to save teacher jobs. Why? The massive layoffs many school districts feared haven't materialized.
Officials from the governor's office spent yesterday trying to figure out how the money could be spent. As usual, there was no shortage of answers. The idiocy in this scenario is that the money needs to be spent — even when the need is different than originally envisioned.
With next year's budget deficit projected to be around $3 billion is it too much to expect restraint and forethought? Ever wonder why our national debt is $13.3 trillion.

@Impala9C1 I'm not sure. I've never seen a mini in use. I have seen a few photos of the full-size in use on cars. They are very fragile and not well made, which is why I think so few are left and likely why they didn't sell well

Recovering from addiction is not a cookie-cutter scenario. What I mean by that is, it isn't exactly the same for any two people. In this way, naturopathic doctors can be extremely useful. Though, what is naturopathy and how does it pertain to your sobriety?
Well, you are in luck because I'm about to tell you!
Ok, what are 'naturopathic doctors'?
While many people associate homeopathy and naturopathy, they really aren't the same. Short and simple, homeopathy is geared toward matching medicine to an ailment. Naturopathy deals with a more broad range of things that focus less on chemical medicine, and more on holistic healing.
The practices these doctors promote can vary but almost all of them revolve around the body's ability to heal itself, given the right nutrients and attention. They can set out something as simple as getting more sun and eating more berries.
Usually, there is a lengthy process involved beforehand.
This doctor wants to know as much about your goals, and your history pertaining to them, as they possibly can. A naturopathic doctor is more concerned with making a specific "program" (for lack of a better term) to address the issues at hand.
Anything they recommend is usually holistic because these people believe (rightly so) that your body knows what it needs to take care of itself.
By adding some natural supplements to dietary changes and exercise, naturopathic doctors can help support your overall body function.
Wait, don't slam the door just yet!
Before you roll your eyes at any image you might have conjured up of a barefoot hippie in a lab coat, these people are doctors. Real doctors!
They have been to school and they often work side by side with actual medical findings. One of their main jobs is to prevent (if possible) diseases by teaching their patients how to live healthy lives. Sound like anything you've encountered in your other programs? To me, it sounds a lot like a sponsor, sober coach or therapist. It really seems to cement the fact that naturopathy aligns perfectly with our recovery goals.
If you have spent any time in recovery from your drug of choice, you know all of the changes that come along with it.
- Eating more nutritious
- Exercising/ Yoga
- Vitamins/ Holistic medicines and supplements
- Counseling/Therapy
Those are the same things a naturopathic doctor will address, only they will have medical charts and an education to back it up!
Remember my blogs last year about life coaches and therapists? Well, I didn't know it then, but naturopathic doctors can be just another essential tool you can use for recovering from your addiction.
If you let them!
Don't just take my word for it, psychologytoday.com published an article about what an asset naturopathic doctors can be when battling addiction.
A recovery program that is tailored to you in a way that supports your mental and physical wellbeing. The only thing left for you to decide is if this is a way to sobriety for you.

Johannes LeFevre was born in New Paltz on May 26, 1837, to Josiah P. LeFevre and his wife, Elizabeth. Around New Paltz, his family was known as the Bontecoe LeFevres because of their large farm, just outside town.
The oldest child of seven, Johannes was born in his father's stone house on what is today White Duck Road in New Paltz, off Route 32. The home had been built by Daniel LeFevre. Later, Josiah built a home in 1849, on the opposite side of Route 32. Both houses remain standing and look much as they did during Johannes's lifetime.

Mirage - Scepter Duelist
Note: Please note that builds will default to plain icons, these may not be as accurate. We apologize for the inconvenience.
This PvP Mirage build is best suited to +1 fights, quickly deciding the outcome with its burst damage. While it does work as a duelist, it has lower sustain than a Sage build which may be problematic in prolonged fights.
Archival note: burst of boths sets were nerfed heavily
Slot Changes
For the optional slot:
- - coupled with Traveler runes you can build up some decent condition duration.
- - highly versatile skill (scroll down to usage for more info).
- Axe/Torch over Staff.
Elite specialization basics
- Dodge rolling is replaced by Mirage Cloak, which is more or less the same thing but allows you to cast skills and grants access to ambush attacks for the duration: for staff and for scepter. Ambush skills replace the autoattack of the weapons for 1.5 seconds.
- Pressing dodge grants Superspeed and Regeneration (which reduces incoming condition duration while it lasts thanks to ). makes it so that whenever you gain Mirage Cloak, your clones are also going to receive it with all benefits including access to ambush attacks - it can even make your clones evade skills such as , denying your opponent various bonuses.
- You can dodge while CC'd.
- The build has very poor access to condition cleansing, limited only to and . Try to play it safe against condition specs: outrange them with staff, chain Blind / dodges in melee, etc.
- The scepter auto attack chain progresses if you keep attacking even while out of combat with no target selected. By using the first 2 skill of the chain you can start combat with for a free clone.
- Use for mobility while traveling between capture points. Phase Retreat teleports you in the opposite direction of where you're facing, so to teleport "forward" turn around to use it and then turn back. We recommend that you set up a bind for about face to do this in a fluid manner (Options ⇒ Control Options ⇒ Movement). Make sure that you don't have an enemy targeted whilst using any of these skills for movement purposes.
- creates a new clone whenever you dodge.
- semi-passively provides a high uptime of projectile reflection, which is quite useful when fighting builds like Boon Beast.
- If taken is useful for just about everything:
- Defense: evasion + teleport to a random location + break targeting, quite convenient when you're being focused by the enemy team.
- Offense: free ambush attack for you and all your clones
- Mobility: it's a 1.2k range gapcloser afterall as you'll be teleported to a location near the target.
- While this skill does not break stun, it can be used while CC'd.
- Besides cleansing conditions while at the same time pressuring your opponent with them, is also useful for boon removal/stacking in general, for example getting rid of their Resistance or stealing Vigor for synergy.
- Staff is what you use for sustain, ranged poking, mobility, and sustained damage.
- is a great defensive tool against direct damage, mainly because of Weakness and Protection. Note: this skill can be used while stunned.
- is the strongest skill on this weapon. Standing in it supplies allies with defensive boons including Aegis while inflicting several conditions that can mitigate damage like Weakness or Chill (Chill makes it harder to reach you while slowing down their skill recharge rate), it even has a chance to CC them with Daze. Excellent skill to use when you need area denial for downed cleave, sustain, and other such scenarios.
- is good for building some distance between you and your target, and can even be used while stunned, potentially allowing you to save dodges for later.
- If used in PR grants . Keep in mind that this doesn't stack in duration, so try not to overlap Chaos Armors.
- summons 2 Phantasms, each periodically stacking Vulnerability on your target, which is useful for setting up burst. After the attack they'll turn into cones, potentially fueling shatters.
- As the build has the Illusions specialization yet doesn't pick up on Dueling, your shatters are weaker than those of a Carrion build, but still more relevant than a Sage's. is by far your strongest shatter skill when it comes to burst damage.
- should be used as often as possible, it's excellent for setting up burst or even evading attacks. Not only does dodging after a successful block immediately generate a total of 3 clones, but also makes them all (including you) unload their ambush attacks.
- If you have 2-3 active clones before using Illusionary Counter you should probably shatter them before the 2 new ones spawn, as otherwise some of the previous clones will just go to waste.
- Note: there's a small evade frame after the block which can proc too.
- is easily the best burst skill in the build (if you can land it), both its direct and condition damage is quite high.
Example of a scepter/pistol burst
- Dodge

The Sunday News
TRADING ECONOMIC.COM says 67,72 percent of Zimbabwe's population lives in rural areas, according to the World Bank 2016 projections. Rural population refers to people living in rural areas as defined by national statistical offices. It is calculated as the difference between total population and urban population.
On the other hand, worldpopulationreview.com says the rate of population growth has been consistently on the rise since 2005, and it has been having positive impacts on Zimbabwe economically and politically.
Although difficult to prove causation, foreign domestic investment, exports, inflation rate, and interest rate have all been moving in a healthy direction since the population has been growing at a healthy rate.
The birth rate in Zimbabwe is roughly 3,75 children born per woman, which is a much more sustainable number than many surrounding nations — accounting for the 2019 annual growth rate of 2,27 percent and a population of 17 297 495.
This would suggest that more children are born in rural areas, which therefore calls for more resources to be availed to people living in rural areas, be it farms or simple rural settlements.
The people in rural areas are mostly subsistence farmers, and they have to be assisted so that they ensure food security and are also able to access basic needs.
The policy of devolution being implemented by the Government, is therefore the answer to ensuring that people in rural areas, who form the bulk of the country's population, are taken care of.
And as rightfully pointed out by President Mnangagwa, Rural District Councils have their job cut out to ensure that devolution transforms lives of the rural population.
President Mnangagwa, while officiating at the first edition of the Rural Councillors Meeting in Harare last week, said Government had set aside close to $1 billion for the devolution programme.
"We have the policy of devolution as Government, meant to decentralise power and you as councillors you are the voice of our grassroots communities, so we ask you to listen to the challenges and other issues they are facing and convey them to us so that we know what the people want.
"As the Second Republic, we want people in the rural areas to enjoy the fruits of the independence we have got and that can be done through improving their livelihoods."
President Mnangagwa described the rural communities as the backbone of the nation.
"The rural district councils are the backbone of the country because most of our people reside in rural areas. So, when we have drought and hunger in rural areas, the whole nation will be hungry and if there are good harvests we will all sleep well because the nation would be happy. So, a wise Government does not forget its rural populace."
President Mnangagwa said Government was already funding the devolution policy as required by the Constitution. President Mnangagwa said development could only be achieved if there was improvement in infrastructure like roads.
"Development can only happen when there are good roads and we are already repairing them countrywide through the Zimbabwe National Road Authority, the District Development Fund, the councils, so that there is better movement of people and goods. We have our programmes to ensure a good harvest and that includes the Presidential Input Support Programme and we will do all we can to ensure that every household gets seed and fertiliser."

A video has surfaced of the upcoming Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA concept. Set for a Geneva debut, the GTA was caught on camera from many different angles.
We have some great video to share with you of the upcoming Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA. Split up into three different 30-second parts, the video shows the MiTo GTA concept from several different angles.
And once you hear the engine rev, you just may fall in love.
The MiTo GTA will debut as a prototype concept at the Geneva Motor Show in about a week. Alfa confirms the vehicle will have a direct-injection 240 horsepower 1.8-liter turbocharged V6 engine. The advanced suspension lowers the GTA by 20 mm when compared to the new MiTo. Weight is removed thanks to a host of carbon-fiber body parts and an aluminum suspension.
So check out the videos and tell us what you think!
Parts II and III below.
