For long stretches of this typically entertaining episode, just about everyone was being really, really stupid. Rayna and Deacon argue because he's ill, essentially. She sulks because he wants to cope on his own; he pouts because she won't leave him alone. They they have sexytime and everything's OK, although it was hard to escape the suspicion that they hooked up because they wanted to see the look on Older Girl's face when they told her.
Will and Kevin write a (rather good) song together, and there's enough chemistry in the room to suggest they're about to start making out. "I knew you two would be the right fit!" Luke cheerfully bellows. Then Kevin throws an arm round Will's shoulders, and Will visibly recoils, because he's so not gay. Kevin – understandably – decides he wants nothing more to do with Will, who then belatedly realises that he can't wrote on his own. So he goes crawling back to Kevin, whose reaction suggests that his gaydar pinged a while back.
Layla eschews the Deschanel-isms this week, instead going for petulant schoolgirl when she thinks that Jeff might, ages ago, have slept with some blogger. Yeah, Layla; Jeff was a virgin when you met him. Then they try having a proper relationship, which lasts for five minutes or so. And Luke and Sadie have several Moments, although nothing happens. Actually, now that Luke's away from Rayna I think I like him a little more, although I can't imagine that Rayna would be delighted by Sadie jumping her ex. Steer clear, Sadie, please.
Meantime Scarlett and Gunnar, now on the road with the Triple Xs, are joint runners-up in the idiocy smackdown: Scarlett decides to engage with haters on Twitter; and Gunnar – now very much back in love with Scarlett – waits and waits before doing anything about it, by which time Dr Moderately-Hot is in town, sweeping Scarlett off her feet with roses and a night at the Four Seasons. Come ON, Gunnar. #TeamGunnlettFTW.
As ever, though, it's Mayor Teddy who beats everyone else at dumbassery. He hires Lamar's old rough-stuff go-to guy to confirm that the FBI has Natasha under surveillance, then decides that the best way, the very best way, to get out of the trouble he's in is to have a clandestine meeting with a hooker and offer to pay her off to leave the country. Then, to raise the six-figure sum that's going to cost, he tries to get the city's finance director to set up an investment fund for him to dip into, something which he negotiates with his usual calm, tact, and finesse: he doesn't quite scream "I NEED A $500K SLUSH FUND STAT TO BRIBE A HO", but he isn't far away.
The previouslies give a clue to how the episode is going to end, though: Sadie is approached by her douchebag ex, and after a struggle she shoots him, presumably fatally. Liver, Deacon! Liver!

The view of Famous Glass and Metal Pyramid in this picture is very outstanding. Here we can see The Famous Glass and Metal Pyramid outside the Louvre. For the entrance to the underground level, Pei needed to stay away from it resembling a simple metro station and he required the right sort of building to attract visitors to the historical center's entrance. A strong solid structure - like his East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC - was not feasible, since this would conflict with the traditional exteriors of the Louver royal residence. When word released that a current pyramid would be constructed at the Louver's heart, most commentators rushed to assault the venturesome outline. The night view of Famous Glass and Metal Pyramid is very stunning. This night view attract visitors. The arrangements likewise brought on a clamor with Parisians, who had gotten to be fatigued of cutting edge ventures after the development of the Montparnasse Tower and the flat towers of La Defense. Surveys demonstrated a substantial larger part of the French residents restricted the structure. Be that as it may, not long after the official initiation of the pyramid in March 1989, the restriction immediately died down and the Louver Pyramid got to be one of Paris' most beloved modern landmarks. There is, many would argue, no awful time to visit Paris – on the grounds that there's no such thing as terrible climate, just awful rigging! At the end of the day, a blustery day in Paris could be viewed as superior to anything a sunny day in some different spots, and it's interminably less demanding to take on the off chance that you have an umbrella or waterproof shell. In any case, even no-nonsense Paris beaus will let you know that they have inclinations with regards to spending protracted excursions in the city. The architecture of the Famous Glass and Metal Pyramid is very simple and unique. The Louvre is the biggest and the vintage art gallery and museum in the world. It is one of the popular entrance. It is made with metal and glass.

Graduates of the Broward Sheriff's Office boot camp, a military-style program offered as an alternative to prison, are coming out disciplined, physically fit and instilled with a positive attitude.
But completing the intense 90-day program has not been enough to put many of their lives on track. Many of the graduates are having trouble finding and keeping jobs once they are on the outside.
Sheriff's officials who run the 1 1/2-year-old program say the boot camp's effectiveness has been hindered by the inability of graduates to find work and the reluctance of many employers to hire them.
"I have a few of them out there begging for jobs," said Lt. William Hitchcock, a supervisor in the boot camp program. "You can't just dump them out there. Somebody has to give them a fair shake."
Broward judges sentence offenders to boot camp as an alternative to prison. Generally, judges recommend nonviolent criminals who show promise and initiative in turning their lives around.
Fifty percent of those recommended for the program are turned down. More drop out because they cannot meet the rigorous physical requirements.
Since the program began in August 1993, fewer than half of the approximately 250 graduates have found work, and about 16 percent end up getting arrested again, the sheriff's office said.
Boot camp grads are learning they have many strikes against them in the eyes of employers.
For one, they have criminal records. When employers can choose between someone with a criminal record and someone without, the choice is simple for most.

This is the third Palestinian city listed as a World Heritage site.
The UNESCO resolution had been pushed hard by the Palestinians, who succeeded not only in getting Hebron declared a Palestinian heritage site, but also in getting the UN body to declare that Israel's occupation was placing it in danger.
Firstly, the resolution stipulated that the two sites had to be classified as Palestinian heritage sites and should be officially added to UNESCO's list. "This vote celebrated facts and rejected the shameless high-profile political bullying and attempts at extortion".
Hebron is the only city in the West Bank to have Israeli settlements at its heart, where a few hundred settlers live surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
Another clear benefit is that Hebron, one of the world's oldest cities, would be entitled to the allocation of immediate assistance from the World Heritage Fund and gain the attention of the global powers.
By today's vote, the committee failed to take into account its own expert advice, which opposed the Palestinian nomination for failing to properly recognize Hebron's Jewish and Christian heritage.
Many viewed Friday's UNESCO decision as the latest example of an ingrained anti-Israel bias at the United Nations and its institutions, where Israel and its allies are outnumbered by Arab countries and their supporters. "Shame on UNESCO", Nashon said. No UNESCO lies and fake history can change that.
This shall "put Al-Ibrahimi mosque and its surrounding under protection from the consequences of Israeli aggression and continued Judaization processes", said Ma'ay'ah. "I believe this will positively affect the situation in Hebron because now the site is and should be preserved by UNESCO, which is more than needed".
Ms Haley added to the criticism on saying it was "tragic on several levels", adding: "It represents an affront to history".
4 children, father fatally stabbed at Georgia home; mother questioned
The children participated in an after-school program, The Path Project. "Everyone is in complete shock", Hollandsworth said. Police called the crime "horrendous" and added that it's unclear what motivated the killings.
The two previous inscriptions were significant statements about Palestinian statehood.
According to the screenshot, after the vote, at 8:11 p.m., the Arab envoy sent Shama-Hacohen a message via the Whatsapp messaging app: "sorry for today, it was too heated, it is hard to say it was a secret vote..."
Palestinians say the heavy Israeli military presence, including a series of checkpoints, is degrading and point out that parts of the city are off limits to them.
"The connection between the Jewish People and Hebron and the Tomb of the Patriarchs is one of purchase and of history which may be without parallel in the history of peoples".
Jews could now pray at the Western Wall for the first time in 19 years and at the Tomb of the Patriarch in Hebron for the first time in 701 years.
"As it is now the settler population has destroyed many important artifacts and structures without looking up any documentation of the historical significance of a building or structure".
A shrine to Goldstein remains in Kiryat Arba, a Jewish colonial settlement adjacent to Hebron.

Every year, the Denver Gamers Association has a con in which there is a 40k tournament, and a WFB tournament. I decided to compete in both, though my expectations were somewhat low for Fantasy. In 40k however, the tournament was a big deal.
I'd been trying to win (unsuccessfully) Genghis or Tacticon for 2 years, and though I'd never lost a game at any of these tournaments, the scenarios always screwed me out of winning a prize.
This year was even bigger: the top two overall scores qualified to play at the Vegas GT in a year or so. I hadn't played in any qualifiers before this, and I wanted to make sure I had the option. I'd been working on a heavily converted Imperial Guard army for a while, and had finished it a week before, when our store had a 'Practicon' tournament, using the scenarios we'd be playing at Genghis. I was able to win that, and so it was on to a larger stage: a 60-man RTT.
Here's the list I used:
Company Command Squad w/ 4x melta, 1x plasma pistol, Astropath, Chimera
Company Command Squad w/ 4x plasma, 1x plasma pistol, Chimera
Veteran Squad w/ 3x melta, demolitions, Chimera
Veteran Squad w/ 3x melta, demolitions
Platoon Command squad w/ 4x flamers
Infantry Squad w/ Las Cannon, Grenade Launcher
Infantry Squad w/ Las Cannon, Grenade Launcher
Special Weapons Squad w/ 3x flamers
Psyker Battle Squad w/ 8 psykers, Chimera
2x Hydra Squadron
2x Hydra Squadron
1x Hydra Squadron
I had a total of 12 vehicles. Here's a picture of my army someone else took:
The Wrecking Crew were the judges for the tournament, and I hoped that meant the tournament would be well run. I was happily correct, the Wrecking Crew handled everything very professionally the entire tournament, and it went really smoothly.
I had made a list on my blog of armies I didn't want to play, that would potentially be really bad matchups for me, with Imperial Guard being listed as #2, IIRC. Sure enough, first pairings are announced, and:
Game 1: My Tzeench Imp Guard Traitors vs. Richard Coles' Steel Legion
His army looked like something like this:
8 Chimeras
1 Leman Russ
2 Armored Sentinels
1 Hell Hound
1 Outflanking Stormtrooper squad w/ grenade launcher
Company Command Squad w/ 4 plasma
Primaris Psyker
2 Huge blobs of troops, which each contained 2 missile launchers, 1 las cannon, a grenade launcher, Commisar, and 4 Power Weapons
I'd played Richard quite a few times before, since he was at my original game store in Laramie, WY. I've since moved, but we've remained friends. When we got matched up, and he told me he was playing our mutual friend CJ's Steel Legion my first reaction was 'ut-oh, this scenario is going to be a nightmare'.
The scenario:
We had to pick 5 of our own units to be counted as kill points, which were the ONLY kill points in the game. Secondary was to win by 500 victory points, and Tertiary was to kill all of an opponent's troop choices. There were 3 'kill everything in your opponent's FOC' bonus points possible.
My plan:
I wanted to pick units of mine that were low priority for him to kill in a normal game, thereby making it difficult for him to be able have proper target priority: either he killed my kill points and left my more dangerous stuff out, or he killed my dangerous stuff, letting my kill points survive. Otherwise, I wanted to kill the blobs of infantry. Not only were they kill points, they also had 3 heavy weapons in each. Killing tanks would be good as well. Pretty straightforward.
We rolled, and I got the first turn. I deployed all my guys behind giant walls but near the center, with my psyker battle squad peeking out from a hole in the wall. I kept only my two infantry squads in reserves. In my vendettas, I had my two flamer squads, and a melta veteran squad. The terrain at this tournament was very strange the entire time, and was one of my few gripes about the tournament overall.
If Richard had taken his entire army in Chimeras and just sat there, I don't think I would have done that well. But instead, he spread out his tanks in one big line with his CCS/psyker in the middle w/ the Leman Russ, and blobbed all of his infantry squads into two huge super-squads, that were in cover, but able to be shot at.
Richard's Chosen Kill Points: 2 Armored Sentinels, 2 blob squads, and the Leman Russ
My Chosen Kill Points: 2 Hydra Squadrons, 2 Infantry Squads, and my Psyker Battle Squad
I scouted my flamer Vendettas 12" away from his blob squads. He tried to sieze the iniative, and failed.
My Guard Turn 1:
I moved my Vendettas up, disembarked the flamers, and torched his two squads, killing enough to force a morale check on both. The Psykers hit his middle blob squad with weaken resolve, making their leadership 2 (works even against stubborn units). With any luck at all, that squad would be off the board this turn. My various shooting glanced a few tanks, and blew a few weapons off random tanks. When it was time for him to take a leadership on his Ld. 2 squad, however, he made it without even having to execute an officer! Jeeze, that plan went out the door real quick!
Richard's Guard Turn 1:
He responded by moving his forces up slightly, and trying to glance my vehicles. It didn't really happen that well, though he DID manage to bring down my two closest Vendettas, and the two flamer squads. Not much else to do for him, and it was my turn.
My Guard Turn 2:
Well, that was a somewhat sad result, but I decided to try the same approach: shake a few tanks this turn, and use the hydras to force a leadership on his guys again. Moving all of my chimeras forward, I popped smoke on all the chimeras besides the psyker one. I caused the 4 or 5 wounds necessary on his center blob squad again, and hit again with my psykers. I also shook his hellhound, and popped an armored sentinel. Next turn I'd be in melta range with all of my veterans. His blob squad this time failed their leadership, and ran off the board.
Richard's Guard Turn 2:
He rolled for stormtroopers and got them. They came onto my right flank, next to 3 hydras bunched up. He didn't really accomplish much this turn, shooting at my guys, and failing to do much more than shake a few chimeras. One almost notable moment was that he moved one of his chimeras on my left toward my vendetta with veterans in it, trying to ram me. I was able to roll a 3+, which simply placed it next to another chimera that I had stunned (couldn't move OR shoot) Otherwise, it was my turn.
My Guard Turn 3:
At some point my infantry squads both came in from reserves, and ran onto my bottom left corner. They were there to survive, nothing more. I ran them into cover, and they remained there the rest of the game. I disembarked my veterans on the left, ready to charge the chimeras with their melta bombs. Shooting helped me pop a few more tanks, including his leman russ and hellhound, as well as another chimera on my right side. His stormtrooper chimera was stunned.
The rest of the game was sort of a mop-up. His psyker's squad died turn 4, as did his remaining blob squad on the right, at the hands of a heavy flamer and some plasma gun shots insta-deathing his heavy weapons teams. He gave up before I could table him, but surrendered full points to me.
Victory for the Tzeench Guard!
48/48 points total. Ut oh... that means I'll have to play someone good.
Game 2: My Tzeench Imp Guard vs. Ron Santoni's Imperial Guard
Well, that wasn't the matchup I wanted. Ron is a great player, and one of the players in the area who I always seem to get matched up with in tournaments. We've played 3 times before, and of those games, I won one, he won one, and we drew. He's a fun guy to play, though, so I knew I'd enjoy the game, whatever came. I did know this: he'd won Genghis/Tacticon at least twice in years past, and those same years he also won the Fantasy Tournament. He'd gotten 5th overall at the final 40k GT in Vegas a while back with DEMONS. Pretty intimidating credentials for a guy whose best showing at a major tournament was 7th overall at BOLScon.
Here's his list (roughly... not sure why I didn't keep the list):
Company Command Squad w/ Las Cannon
Inquisitor Lord w/ Mystics, Heavy Bolter, Psychic Hood, Psycannon
Junior Officer Squad w/ Las Cannon
Infantry Squad w/ Las Cannon
Infantry Squad w/ Auto Cannon
Heavy Weapons Squad w/ 3x Las Cannons
Veteran Squad w/ 2x Meltas, 1x Heavy Flamer, Chimera
Veteran Squad w/ 1x Melta, 1x Plasma Gun, 1x Heavy Flamer, Chimera
Executioner w/ 5x Plasma Cannon Shots
Executioner w/ 5x Plasma Cannon Shots
9x Rough Riders
Hated Marbo
I THINK thats what he had. Certainly a lot of models, and lots of las cannons. The plasma tanks didn't concern me a WHOLE lot, but 5 shots from each are ridiculously hard to ignore. Lots of scoring units meant he was going to be hard to take out this mission too.
The mission:
Control table quarters. Enemy quarter was worth 10 points, the other two were worth 5 each. Your own was worth 15 (which was the secondary objective). The catch to it was that only normally scoring units could contest, making it easier to hold quarters. The tertiary was 'Wreck the Crew', making you destroy your opponent's highest scoring unit. His was one of his Executioners, mine was my veteran squad w/ chimera.
The Terrain:
The terrain was pretty evenly spread on this table. Lots of craters everywhere, and the blight of the board: a huge impassible house thing that pretty much blocked line of sight from one quarter to the other.
We rolled to see who went first, and I won the roll. I originally wanted to go first, since I know the kind of damage one imp guard army can do to the other one on turn one. This time however, I knew he didn't have the kind of anti-tank in his army that would allow him to REALLY cripple me turn one. It was objectives this game, and I wanted to be able to have the last shots of the game. Added in with the huge obnoxious house blocking line of sight, I gave him first turn.
The deployment was Spearhead, and Ron deployed his troops out in the open, as close to the 12" away from the center as he could. Behind them he placed his two executioners. In reserves he held both banewolves, his two veteran squads in chimeras, and the rough riders. His quarter was to my upperleft, leaving me in the lower right.
I placed two of my hydras at the very edge of my deployment zone, near my rear table edge, to get LOS on his tanks and troops right away. My chimeras I placed as close to the center building as possible, and kept my psyker battle squad chimera closest to him, so that he would target it first. My psykers are useless when the awesome psychic hood comes out to play, and I wanted him to waste shots on that chimera. To my right I placed my other 2 hydras, keeping a clear LOS to the right table quarter, knowing that at least a few of his reserves would be coming in from that direction. I only placed one vendetta on the board, with a flamer squad. The other two vendettas and my two infantry squads I kept in reserves. As in the last game, the squads would be there for holding quarters, nothing else.
Before turn 1, I scouted my vendetta up 24" closer to his line (12" away from his cluster of troops) and failed my seize the initiative.
Ron's Turn 1:
He only shot a few shots at my vendetta, shaking it. The rest of his fire he trained on my psyker battle squad for some reason, destroying their chimera on his final shot. Not much damage to be had.
My Turn 1:
I moved the non-shooting vendetta toward his lines, and dropped off the flamers, hoping they'd roll well. My Chimeras advanced toward his line, except for my veterans in the chimera, who stayed behind the house, waiting to claim the upper right quarter.
I popped smoke on my two HQ chimeras, and started my shooting. Hydras did a great (ish) job of killing 2 of his heavy weapons teams, and the psykers, though their numbers were depleted from their exploded chimera last turn, were able to reduce the leadership to 2 anyways, in spite of the psychic hood. My other shooting also went well, with my flamers killing his Company Command Squad AND junior officer squad outright. No more orders for him, as well as his being down 5 las cannons.
Ron's Turn 2:
A banewolf came in, as well as both of his veteran chimeras. Also... Marbo. One veteran squad came in on his upper left corner, and the other as I had predicted, on the upper right edge. The banewolf came in with his upper left corner squad. Marbo appeared by my rightmost hydras, ready to throw some demo love at them.
Shooting managed to knock my plasma command squad out of their chimera, and stunned my melta command squad. He also shook one of my hydras, and killed all but one of my flamer squad. Marbo whiffed, but standing in a crater, he didn't care (3+ save)
My Turn 2:
Both infantry squads came in, as well as my melta veterans in their vendetta. The vendetta rolled for the left side, and came in right next to his veteran squad's chimera. The infantry squads came in on opposite sides of the board. One came in on my lower left corner, into cover, from which spot they never moved. The other came in right next to sly Marbo, ready to shoot him down in a flurry of flashlight-pointing.
I disembarked my veterans on the left, knowing that they'd die next turn, but also knowing that I needed to get those veterans outside their chimera as soon as possible so I could kill them quickly and claim Ron's quarter.
Shooting started off sad, with Marbo saving against a combined 8 insta-death wounds, before I was forced to shoot him down with a hydra squadron. Other shooting went better, with me destroying the banewolf, both veteran chimeras, and shaking his Medusa. My remaining flamer flamed one of his infantry squads, killing 5 (of 9) and assaulted, with neither side doing anything at all (but him tying up the las cannon).
Ron's Turn 3:
The rest of his reserves came in. The rough riders came in on the middle, ready to charge my central vendetta. The banewolf came in on top of his already-destroyed banewolf, ready to flame some veterans.
His shooting wasn't that great this turn either, only shaking my melta veteran chimera. My veterans on the left DID die a very quick (and painful) death to his banewolf w/ Heavy flamer combo. jeeze those things toast guard! In combat, the rough riders did nothing (needed 6's to hit me, and used krak grenades), though his infantry squad killed my flame trooper. Poor guy.
My Turn 3:
My final vendetta came in on the left side, not willing to disembark its contents to destroy his rough riders. Not yet, when he could easily destroy them with his remaining forces.
With the coast clear on the right, my veterans moved up into the upper right corner, and popped smoke. They were going to have to kill Ron's remaining veterans sitting in their crater on the right side to be able to claim this objective. My melta command squad moved 12" toward his 'wrecking crew' executioner, disembarked, and got ready to shoot its side armor with 4 melta guns.
Shooting proved effective yet again, as I was able to destroy his leman russ, shake his medusa again, and kill a few rough riders. I also whittled down his number of veterans remaining in each wreck, and killed outright both of his remaining infantry squads.
Ron's turn 4:
He didn't have a lot to do, for shooting. He shot up my melta command squad, and took two weapons off my melta vet's vendetta, but failed to do any lasting damage. He ran out of shooting and simply assaulted a vendetta of mine, whiffing yet again.
My turn 4:
I picked off his last leman russ, the medusa, the banewolf, and his remaining veterans. All he had left were 3 rough riders and the inquisitor squad (which was strangely untouched).
We called it there.
Victory for the Tzeench Guard!!
47/48 points total.
95/96 points possible.... looks like I'm going to the 'top table'!
After this game, there was a lot of speculation, with the two opponents people figured I'd be playing being either Tulio's Jetbike Eldar, or a guy everyone simply called 'X-box' because he was wearing an X-box shirt. Neither opponent was someone I really wanted to play, since I'd played Tulio once already and knew he was a great player, and I'd played 'X-box' twice, both games being very unpleasant as he whined incessantly about 'bad luck' and 'out-playing me, but the game doesn't reward that' throughout every game. So, I was pleasantly surprised when:
Game 3: Me vs. Tau!!
His list:
Broadside squad x2, w/ 2 shield drones
Hammerhead w/ railgun
Hammerhead w/ ion cannon
Shas'o w/ Stim injector, Missile pod, Shield Drone, Plasma Rifle
Crisis Suit x3 w/ missile pods
Crisis Suit x1 w/ TL missile pods
8 Pathfinders
8 Pathfinders
2 Devilfish
12 Fire Warriors
12 Fire Warriors
10 Kroot
10 Kroot
I'll be honest: I rarely enjoy playing against Tau. They shoot really well, and every tank they have has a coversave vs. my army. Everyone says they're easy to beat, but I've never played an 'easy' game against Tau before. Never. And this guy had to have been doing awesome to have gotten this far with such a 'sub-par' army.
The board had almost zero terrain. One hill in each corner, and a big hill in the middle was it. My opponent insisted that the hills were in fact forests, and kept insisting until I finally suggested we dice it off. He natrually won it, and got his coversaves on EVERYTHING for his army, as well as a nice advantage for his kroot. blah...
We each got 2 objective markers, and I placed my two out in the open, and he predictably placed his deep in the forest.
The mission:
Primary had 4 objectives each worth 5 points. The secondary was to win the game by 750 victory points, and the tertiary was to have one unit in every quarter at the end of the game, whether they were scoring or not.
So we rolled off, and I got first turn, which I took this time. I wanted to alpha strike his railguns as much as possible before he got to shoot with them. I placed my vendettas spread out, two flamer squad vendettas near a each table edge, and one with melta veterans in the middle. The hydras I spaced around the big hill in the middle so that I'd have a clear field of fire to either side. The chimeras did the same. I again kept my infantry squads in reserve, ready to claim the two objectives out in the open eventually.
He deployed behind one of the hills, with a refused flank on the left. He placed the broadsides on the left hill, with his commander attached to the squad. All his vehicles he hid behind the hill. Also predictably, he kept his kroot in reserve.
I scouted all my vendettas forward 24", and he failed his steal the initiative attempt.
My Turn 1:
I moved my leftmost vendetta forward 6" and prepared to fire on his hammerhead w/ railgun. My chimeras (besides the psyker battle squad) moved the full 12" toward his lines, and popped smoke.
Shooting saw me immobilize and weapon destroy the railgun hammerhead, and kill all the drones AND one of the broadsides in the broadside/commander squad. I then used weaken resolve on them, and they broke, less than 50%.
Tau Turn 1:
He attempted a regroup with his commander/broadside squad (which he claimed had a bonding knife... and they didn't, since I have his list right here) but failed on an 11 anyways, and ran off the board. His shooting failed to inspire awe, though it did end up downing my leftmost vendetta and killing the flamer squad inside of it.
My Turn 2:
My shooting didn't do too much, this turn. I was able to destroy a devilfish full of firewarriors, killing a couple in the explosion, but every single shot that did any damage at all to his remaining hammerhead bounced off his 4+ cover save. Somewhat frustrating turn.
Tau Turn 2:
He had a pretty good shooting phase, his invincible ion cannon hammerhead destroying my melta command squad chimera. His kroot came in on either side, one waiting in a forest ready to claim an objective and the other squad next to my lone hydra on the right flank. His other random shooting saw him using random S5 shots to destroy chimeras everywhere despite smoke being on them, and pinning squads everywhere as well. Not a great turn for me. The hydra on the right wasn't destroyed, however, despite 30 kroot insta-hits, they couldn't get enough immobilized/weapon destroyed results, and they stayed there.
My Turn 3:
My vendetta with melta veterans decided to try downing his final devilfish, since his ion cannon hammerhead was out of range. They disembarked, and did as they were supposed to- frag the stupid thing. My flamer vendetta on the right dropped its troops and they moved in on the kroot, killing all 10 easily.
Other shooting took out one of his pathfinder squads (the one on the right hill) and an entire fire warrior squad. All my las cannons went for the hammerhead, and it again saved vs. 5 pen results. I did have a squad of veterans on the right side of the board whose chimera had been destroyed make it to the far right hill/forest and into cover though.
Tau Turn 3:
He continued to use JSJ with his crisis suits, hiding behind my destroyed vendetta. This time he targeted a hydra squadron, and destroyed it, despite my AV12 vs. S7 shooting. My command squads, both forcefully disembarked last turn, got raped by smart missile systems and the pathfinder squad's carbines. The hammerhead then turned its sights on my middle vendetta, killing it. The veterans that had fragged the hammerhead last turn got crushed by the remaining pulse rifles, despite there not being many of the rifles left.
My Turn 4:
Well, I didn't have a ton left to give. His hammerhead was invincible, and I only had 4 scoring units left. My psykers had failed their leadership every time after their initial success vs. the broadsides, and things were looking ugly. I decided to turn my attention on the crisis suits JSJing behind my wrecked vendetta, since they were about the only thing I could see with my remaining hydras. I killed the drones and one of the suits, but failed to kill the other 2. My veterans on the right tracked down and killed the lone crisis suit on the right behind the hill. The hammerhead again shrugged off 2 penning results from my vendetta.
Tau Turn 4:
He shot more, but this turn failed to do anything too crazy. Jeeze... about time he didn't have a crazy killing spree turn! The kroot on the left were getting very close to the objective, however...
My Turn 5:
My flamers had re-embarked on my vendetta last turn, and this turn the vendetta moved the full 12" toward his table quarter, shooting and yet again failing to touch his hammerhead. Everything else remaining (3 hydras) shot at the kroot in the forest, and failed to kill the 3 necessary to force a leadership check (with leadership nuked by the psyker battle squad). The psykers instead did a concentrated blast that killed about 3 kroot, but they held.
Tau Turn 5:
He ran his kroot forward toward the objective, to contest. With his remaining shooting, he killed a few of my infantry squad sitting on the objective, who failed their leadership, and ran.
My Turn 6:
The infantry squad failed to regroup, and ran off the table. My Vendetta didn't have the range or ability to get to his objective in the left corner (or the ability to get the pathfinders off it anyways), so I was faced with a dilemna: claim my own objective with the flamer squad inside the vendetta, or move it into his table quarter for the +10 tertiary points I'd be awarded. I chose that, and moved the full 24" into his quarter. Shooting crushed the remaining 4 or 5 kroot left on the objective, though it made little difference in the long run.
Tau Turn 6:
He failed to destroy my vendetta or any of my scoring units, and the game ended.
Victory for the Tzeench Guard!
I ended up with 29/48 battle points on this mission.
Hm, I was for sure disappointed with how this game went. With me nuking his railguns on turn one, it should have been easy from then on, but he made some outstanding rolls to get back into the game, destroying my transports easily, and made some even better rolls on his indestructable hammerhead and kroot squads. A rather depressing game for me, despite the fact that I won it.
Tournament Results:
I ended up with 2nd overall, losing by 2 overall battle points to a guy on table 2. I qualified to go to the Vegas GT, which was nice, though I was still pretty disappointed by not winning the whole thing. I know I should just be glad with how I did, that I qualified and got closer to winning than I ever had, and I am, but for some reason I was still a little sad- I wouldn't have minded giving up the Venerable Dreadnought box that I won if I could have had 1st.
Still, a good showing for my 2nd tournament with my guard, and Adepticon is getting closer and closer. Plus, the weekend wasn't over- it was time for some laid back games of Fantasy on Sunday...

The Inshore Fisheries Langbaurgh League Div A - The runs flowed when Broughton and Kirby met Stafford Place, with 276 scored from fewer than 70 overs.
Mark Lewis led the way by hitting 10 boundaries in 68 and Roger Briddock had three sixes and as many fours in contributing 48 to the home side's formidable total of 176 for eight achieved from 40 overs.
Replying, Stafford Place were all out in 29.3 overs for 100, and their top batsman was Mally Graves with one six and three fours out of 31. David Bladen returned five for 46 in 15 overs and Briddock completed a good day by capturing three wickets for a mere four runs.

etymology of name of god, western 1
D - We mostly use 'Yahweh'. More obscurely, it is derived from a Semitic triliteral root plus one modifier for masculine and subject.
Semitic root
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The roots of verbs and most nouns in the Semitic languages are characterized as a sequence of consonants or "radicals" (hence also the term consonantal root). Such abstract consonantal roots are used in the formation of actual words by adding the vowels and non-root consonants (or "transfixes") which go with a particular morphological category around the root consonants, in an appropriate way, generally following specific patterns. It is a peculiarity of Semitic linguistics that a large majority of these consonantal roots are triliterals (although there are a number of quadriliterals, and in some languages also biliterals). (Wiki)
Most scholars accept that YHWH is made up of Y, meaning "he", plus a form of HWY, the root of a group of words connected with "being" and "becoming".
It appears 6,823 times in the Jewish Bible, according to the Jewish Encyclopedia, and 6,828 times each in the Biblia Hebraica and Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia texts of the Hebrew Scriptures. This number in itself is quite remarkable considering the name compared with titles given to God, namely: God (2,605), Almighty (48), Lord (40), Maker (25), Creator (7), Father (7), Ancient of Days (3) and Grand Instructor (2).
D - some speculation follows. I don't have an opinion on it.
Yaho (Heb.). Furst shows this to be the same as the Greek Iao. Yaho is an old Semitic and very mystic name of the supreme deity, while Yah (q.v.) is a later abbreviation which, from containing an abstract ideal, became finally applied to, and connected with, a phallic symbol -- the lingham of creation. Both Yah and Yaho were Hebrew "mystery names" derived from Iao, but the Chaldeans had a Yaho named Ia or Ya(h) before the Jews adopted the name, and with them, as explained by some Gnostics and Neo-Platonists (Clement--Iao-ve, Origen--Iao, Epiphanius--Iave, Theodoret--Iabe, Jews--Ala: see Jehovah Ency Britannica Vol 12, Page 995, 1958 edtion); The true key of this mystery god was communicated to the Initiates only, was that the name of IAO was "triliteral (triune, trinity) and its nature secret", as explained by the Hierophants. The Phoenicians too had a supreme deity whose name was triliteral, triune, and trinity, and its meanings secret, this was also Iao; and Y-ha-ho was a sacred word in the Egyptian mysteries, which signified "the one eternal and concealed deity." Iah or Yah is also the Egyptian moon god.
D - another place we see this triliteral Semitic-style word is in old Arabic. Take the elative in the Islamic Takbir.
The Takbīr or Tekbir (تَكْبِير) is the Arabic term for the phrase Allāhu Akbar (الله أكبر). It is usually translated "God is [the] Greatest," or "God is Great". It is a common Islamic Arabic expression. It is used in various contexts by Muslims: in formal prayer, as an informal expression of faith, in times of distress, to express celebration or victory, and to express resolute determination or defiance (especially in politically-charged context).
The form Allāhu is the nominative of Allah "God". The form akbar is the elative of the adjective kabīr "great", from the root k-b-r. As used in the takbir it is usually translated as "greatest", but some authors prefer "greater".[1] The term takbīr itself is the stem II verbal noun (tafʿīlun) of the triliteral root k-b-r "great".
D - Then the 2 A's denote the elative form - kinda like a combo comparative and superlative. At any rate, regardless of translation into English, there is widespread consensus that the Big Guy is pretty darn swell.
D - Now here's where it gets interesting. Allah and Elohim (Old Testament - another name for deity) are both cognates from the same origin. In Uratic, I think.
Elohim (אֱלהִים) is a grammatically singular or plural noun for "god" or "gods" in both modern and ancient Hebrew language. When used with singular verbs and adjectives elohim is usually singular, "god" or especially, the God. When used with plural verbs and adjectives elohim is usually plural, "gods" or "powers".[1][2] It is generally thought that Elohim is a formation from eloah, the latter being an expanded form of the Northwest Semitic noun il (אֱל, ʾēl [3]). It is usually translated as "God" in the Hebrew Bible, referring with singular verbs both to the one God of Israel, and also in a few examples to other singular pagan deities. With plural verbs the word is also used as a true plural with the meaning "gods".[3] The related nouns eloah (אלוה) and el (אֱל) are used as proper names or as generics, in which case they are interchangeable with elohim.[3] (wiki)
Allah (English pronunciation: /ˈælə/ or /ˈɑːlə/; Arabic: الله Allāh, IPA: [ʔɑlˈlɑː] ( listen), [ʔalˤˈlˤɑː]) is a word for God used in the context of Islam and other monotheistic religions of Arabic-speaking communities.[1] In Arabic, the word means simply "the God".[2][3][4] It is used primarily by Muslims and Bahá'ís, and often, albeit not exclusively, used by Arabic-speaking Eastern Catholic Christians, Maltese Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Mizrahi Jews and Sikhs.[5][6][7] It is related to 'Ĕlāhā in Aramaic. (wiki)
The Aramaic alphabet is adapted from the Phoenician alphabet and became distinctive from it by the 8th century BCE. The letters all represent consonants, some of which are matres lectionis, which also indicate long vowels.
The Aramaic alphabet is historically significant, since virtually all modern Middle Eastern writing systems use a script that can be traced back to it, as well as numerous Altaic writing systems of Central and East Asia. This is primarily due to the widespread usage of the Aramaic language as both a lingua franca and the official language of the Neo-Assyrian, and its successor, the Achaemenid Empire. Among the scripts in modern use, the Hebrew alphabet bears the closest relation to the Imperial Aramaic script of the 5th century BCE, with an identical letter inventory and, for the most part, nearly identical letter shapes.
D - again, check out the origin of "alphabet" from Alef and Bet - and the original ox and house pictograms. (It sounded the same too. )
Interesting Facts About Aleph
Interestingly enough, our word Alphabet comes from the first two letters in the Hebrew Alphabet, Aleph and Bet: Aleph-Bet or AlphaBet. And other nice rat facts: the letter A, or Alpha in Greek is a derivative of an ox head turned upright. Also, coincidentally enough, the Hebrew letter Aleph means ox as well.
The letter itself (aleph) when scribed and superimposed on a drawing of an ox or cow with horns resembles the cow in stick figure. The two upper portions being the horns, and the lower two portions the legs.

My week of mishaps continues
On friday i got late.. real late for the yoga classes.The curse of the lone mynah struck again.This time in hope of catching a direct bus to the yoga centre I walked on over to he nearby zakir hussain Rd.Even as I approached the bus stop i could see two 410 buses passing by.Complacent at my new found mode of commute,I waited at the bus stop-.Sadly the blue line-delhi govt stand off hadn't ameliorated... that menat that hose were the last 410s for a good half hour, at least till the time I waited.I finally caught an auto who agreed to go by metre and set off.but somehow we took a wrong turn and found ourselves in a jiffy.With the help of a grousy old restaurant guy, we reached the destination.But, the driver did not have any change with him for my 50Rs note.I asked a lot of ppl nearby, even 2 shops,no one helped.Somehow the auto driver managed to get hold of some change and I went to my class.
The next day I was asked to collect a statement from federal bank for a account that had been closed.I reached there braving, torrents of rain, grabbed the print out and headed to my Dad's office.I handed it to him, only to realize that the statement was for only the last month.I had specifically asked for the statement for the entire period and even confirmed when the printout was just 2 pages long.The teller had absent mindedly confirmed.Another errand wasted.
On sunday , I had two of my classmates from CET came over for lunch.After that we decided to visit the house of another classmate who had come to Delhi to prepare for IAS.We got drenched in the rain, and by drenched i mean,20 buckets worth of drenching.And we just couldnt find the house.It was 20,Janpath and while 22 and 19 were visible,20 was not.Platform 9 and 3/4 anyone.Well after lots of wearching we finally called her and she came out to lead us home.It was on the way back that I decided to drive away silly superstitions from my mind.how could the sighting of a bird spoil an entire day.And how can two of those be lucky??2 wrongs certainly don't make a right.Assured that i was not going to abuse the mynah anymore i headed home.
epilogue:the common mynah() that you see everywhere in New Delhi is currently classified as "least Concern" in the IUCN classification for conservation of animals.So killing a few wont hurt rt??
epilogue 2:I actually completed this article 1 week after the date posted above.And I am all over the mynah cursing.

"On another night in central Haiti, in another hospital, and elderly man grabbed my arm and said: "Haiti is finished." Two younger Haitians, a doctor whose family home in Petit-Goave was turned to rubble and a former patient who was enrolled in nursing school at the time of the quake, overheard the comment. "No," they both said. "Ayiti p'ap peri" ("Haiti will never be finished").
–Haiti After the Earthquake, Paul Farmer
This quote struck me as the perfect way to frame the foundation of my belief in Haiti and her people.
I went to Haiti to explore the proposition that some of the more intractable problems in the world would be well addressed by entrepreneurial businesses. This was a remarkable time for me, working alongside an energetic team of people for La Mabouya Fondacion, a Haitian development organization. I conducted socio-economic research, helped write business plans, and engaged in fundraising and partnership development for a large-community trash collection and sanitation center in Jacmel.
Until traveling to Haiti I had not worked with or for the people I'd so often and closely "analyzed" along my travels, which means I probably haven't actually known much about anything. Being able to live a provincial lifestyle with Haitians who make a living on the land was an amazing experience and a presented a very rare insight into a country that is largely understood through the international media's coverage of Port au Prince.
When the mainstream media rhythmically bludgeons us with stories to the tune of "disaster," "death," "destruction," "disappointment" as is the case with Haiti since 2010, we young people are quick to change the channel, open or close a browser window. I think we have all experienced the moment when we cannot handle the breadth of the world's distressing issues. The thoughts roll out… "How can anyone really help the hurt millions? "The cause seems noble, but is that enough reason to break out the plastic this time?" "Every solution will be temporary – Syrian people will keep dying, Kony won't really be caught, Israel & Palestine's conflict is just the way it is, Haiti is doomed." Larger, financially powered groups take on the issues while we ponder, and they subsequently reward us with a transitory "good Samaritan" sensation after processing our transaction. "The money is headed toward X, where my chosen group will use it to do right! Or not…or I really won't know because I did what I could, and what more can you ask of me?"
This blog is my attempt at sharing the information and perspectives I gained during my experience, and that I continue to expand upon. I believe that the world's issues can in part be mitigated by the capacity to listen to others in their native language, to reciprocate meaningfully, respectfully, and fluidly. Furthermore we must all feel activated and dynamic in our approach to supplying aid, which, in the case of this blog, takes the form of information. During my time outside of Jacmel Haiti I worked alongside provincial Haitian men and women, young and old who adamantly stated their desire to work. These people do not spend their time treasure hunting for handouts, they roar for a hand up. Each person is my inspiration, and has built the composite of my personality in some form or another.

Love Island: Will Georgia finally find love now that Mike and Sam have returned?
Poor Georgia hasn't had much luck in the Love Island villa so far, coming in on the arm of Kem, being mugged off by Amber for Kem's actions, and then having to sit back and watch Jonny leave after revealing she was tempted to crack on with him.
Now though she may be in luck as the villa has seen the return of Mike and Sam, and both have their eyes on her.
In Thursday's episode Mike and Sam are by the fire pit, debriefing on who they fancy and both agree they have eyes for Georgia and Tyla.
'Right now my vibe is saying Georgia but it's early,' says Mike.
'If every bird in here was single, I'd still go for them two, Georgia and Tyla.'
He later tells Jamie that he thought Tyla was more his type on paper but that 'Georgia has been a lot warmer to me'.
However although Georgia and Mike appear to have the hots for each other, she tells the ladies that she is intimidated by Mike: 'I feel like he's too good for me, I don't even feel like I can speak to him. I feel really shy but I've got to put that behind me.'
However will that intimidation lead her to Sam?
The pair chat and share a laugh in the pool.
'I've never been out with a Geordie boy before, I usually go for London, Essex but he's actually really had me laughing since he's got in here,' she admits in the Beach Hut.
'I think this is a great opportunity to see if there could be some love interest that maybe isn't always my type.'

L.A. Hospital Employees Receive Training On 'Their Responsibilities' In Death Of Patient (Updated)Topics: Health Issues
Update: Our post mistakenly mistook L.A. Care Health Plan for L.A. County Department of Health Services. The mission statement cited below actually belongs to L.A. Care Health Plan, not L.A. County Department of Health Services. L.A. Care is an independent public entity that serves low-income families through public and privately-sponsored health programs. It does not run any of the Los Angeles County hospitals, which is the responsibility of the L.A. County Department of Health Services - which bears responsibility for Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital where the death of Ms. Rodriquez occurred.
The AP reports that workers at an inner-city hospital where Edith Isabel Rodriguez, 43, died writhing on the floor vomiting blood last month in the emergency room, have "received training on their responsibilities," and will receive no other penalty, and no prosecution.
The hospital has been cited more than a dozen times in 3 1/2 years for inadequate care that has led to patient deaths and injuries, and in the case of Ms. Rodriquez, a security camera showed her being brought to the emergency room lobby by police officers around 1 a.m. When the officers told a nurse that Rodriguez was complaining of stomach pains, the nurse actually told the patient: "You have already been seen and there is nothing we can do." Then, as when she fell out of a wheelchair and as she lay in a fetal position, the nurse told her: "Get off the floor and on to a chair."
Rodrizuez is on the floor vomiting blood in the fetal position writhing in pain and the nurse tells her to "Get off the floor and on to a chair" ? Yet Los Angeles County and its Health Services Director Dr. Bruce Chernof think "letters of expectation" is the proper and sufficient penalty for what amounts to voluntary manslaughter and criminal negligence resulting in the death of a patient?
In their report to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, county health officials said hospital workers in the emergency room at the time of Rodriguez's death received "verbal and/or written counseling" on their responsibilities.Incredibly, the county health services Director Dr. Bruce Chernof said the ``letters of expectation'' given to the six staff members - which carried no other penalty were appropriate forms of discipline given their previous performance history and their role in the event
... The case stirred public outrage this week with the release of two 911 calls in which her boyfriend and a bystander unsuccessfully pleaded with emergency dispatchers for help:
Six staff members at Martin Luther King Jr.-Harbor Hospital -- including a nurse and two nursing assistants - saw or walked past a dying woman writhing on the floor of the emergency room lobby last month but did not help her, according to a report made public Friday.Just in case you missed something here, a woman falls to the floor writhing in pain and vomiting blood - in full view of the staff, where she lay for 30 minutes as staff members walk past her, and a janitor actually cleans the floor around her, as she lay dying. And they do nothing to help her!
Their discipline: a letter outlining how they should behave in the future.
The six are in addition to two others whose roles have already been made public by the Los Angeles Times: a contract janitor who cleaned the floor around the woman as she vomited blood and a triage nurse who oversaw the whole episode and pointedly refused requests to intervene. The janitor was counseled orally; the triage nurse was placed on leave and later resigned, the report said.
... According to the report, the videotape shows that for about 30 minutes, ``staff members walked past the patient or worked to clean the floor next to her without interacting with her. One staff person was observed sitting behind the financial/registration window and had a view of the patient in the lobby.''
Yet, in the mind of Los Angeles County Health Services Director Dr. Bruce Chernof (right image), and I assume the Board of Governors of the L..A. County Health Plan, and Los Angeles County government, as well - "verbal and/or written counseling on their responsibilities" is proper punishment? Why not manslaughter?
According to their own mission statement, the "L..A. County Health Plan" has failed miserably in the case of Edith Isabel Rodriguez.
Their mission statement states (emphasis - mine):
Our MissionAnd to think that the hospital, the county board that oversees the hospital, and especially the six employees that allowed Ms. Rodriquez to die on the floor in pain and in full view, are not held criminally responsible is nothing less than ludicrous. If you believe as I do that Dr. Chernof needs to reconsider his decision to not hold the hospital employees criminally responsible, you should consider contacting him and sharing your opinion:
To provide access to quality health care for Los Angeles County's vulnerable and low income communities and residents and to support the safety net required to achieve that purpose.
Our Vision
A healthy community in which all have access to the health care they need.
Our Values
We are committed to the promotion of accessible, high quality health care that:
* Is accountable and responsive to the communities we serve and focuses on making a difference;
* Fosters and honors strong relationships with our health care providers and the safety net;
*Is driven by continuous improvement and innovation and aims for excellence and integrity;
*Reflects a commitment to cultural diversity and the knowledge necessary to serve our members with respect and competence;
*Empowers our members, by providing health care choices and education and by encouraging their input as partners in improving their health;
*Demonstrates L.A. Care's leadership by active engagement in community, statewide and national collaborations and initiatives aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable low income individuals and families; and
*Puts people first, recognizing the centrality of our members and the staff who serve them.
Dr. Bruce A. Chernof, DirectorEdith Isabel Rodriquez can't ask for the justice she deserves; someone needs to see to it that she gets it. I'm open to any suggestions on who else should be flooded with emails and phone calls, as well. Perhaps Ms. Rodriquez is more likely to receive justice if someone over Chernoff's head is targeted.

Dear Sir,
Your article mistakes L.A. Care Health Plan for L.A. County Department of Health Services. The mission statement you cite in your story belongs to L.A. Care Health Plan, not L.A. County Department of Health Services.
L.A. Care is an independent public entity that serves low-income families through public and privately-sponsored health programs. We do not run any of the Los Angeles County hospitals, which is the responsibility of the L.A. County Department of Health Services.
Please correct the mistakes in your story. If I can help you further clarify any additional information on L.A. Care Health Plan, please feel free to contact me. Thanks.

Am I crazy? - Depression lonely alone
Post 320824 by Deal deleted for the following reason: Hey there, I'm so sorry you're going through all this, but this kind of "here's everything" approach doesn't work on AskMetafilter, which is meant for smaller focused concrete questions. This really sounds like something where in-person and longer-term help is what's needed. The There Is Help page has a listing of crisis hotlines (including for texting or online chat) that may be able to help too. -- LobsterMitten

Would extending fertility also extend youth in Human beings?
Post 320752 by fantasticness deleted for the following reason: Heya, there's an interesting and probably somewhat answerable question lurking in here about what we know about the science of fertility and senescence, but as framed this is kinda all over the place and chatty to the point where it's not really a good fit for Ask. -- cortex

Do you think I'm special? - relationship dating
Post 320697 by LakeDream deleted for the following reason: Heya, this is kind of conflating a potential focused personal question ("this is my specific experience, help me understand it") with a much broader generalized chatfilter sort of thing ("what do guys like"), and the while the former is a workable fit for Ask it needs to be reworked to be more just that without the broad, anything-goes framing. Maybe give this another go tomorrow with a more concrete, less poll-the-audience rewrite. -- cortex

If I were a man, I would undoubtedly be F. Scott Fitzgerald. Rationally selfish, ostentatious, decadent, frenzied. When I read Fitzgerald it is as though I am reading my own thoughts (just expressed in a genius tone and with an incomparable writing ability that I could one day only dream of waking up with). He was loved and hated, and with age, he slowly... "unraaa-velled, in a baaall of yarn". I have little faith in the idea that we all have lived as something or someone else in a past life, but I have an overwhelming sense of connection with Fitzgerald. Perhaps this is just my egotism creeping in; I am not unique or special. I must remind myself of this. All humans have similar thoughts at one time or another, and of course countless have the very same thoughts, the exact same thoughts, spanning decades and centuries. Regardless, what a wonderfully selfish, magnificant man Fitzy was...the poor son of a bitch.
Zelda wasn't too bad herself.

I have tried this one due to the earthy flavor. It's not bad as flavor goes. It does mix well and stay mixed does not separate. I only did 1g concentrate to 1-1.5 ml to keep it strong. I find 1 to 1 is still a bit thick. Would recommend this if asked.

Taste like it smells. Description is accurate. Only negative I would add is subjective. The smell is authentic yet strong. If you are looking for discrete/stealthy terpene might want to keep your distance. Random person told me it smelled like strong pine trees. Some might question you if pulled over as a words of advice try the Holy Terp's pure formula instead. Overall I would buy again no complaints.

Tried couch lock starter kit first then jack on my second order. I highly recommend both. No separation issues, no weird taste and super easy to prepare. Really great product.

I like the natural taste/smell added back to concentrates. The label recommends mixing at 2:1 but I used a little less liquid (1.5:1 instead). It still mixed perfectly. Will probably try the Philosopher one next.
