Beginner Questions
I want to learn Skullgirls, where do I start?
Start by playing through the tutorial if you haven't already. It's excellent for getting you up to speed with the game, for people with or without previous fighting game experience. Be sure to find players around your skill level by getting involved with the Skullgirls community.
I'm stuck on the tutorial, do I need to finish all of it?
Some of the later tutorial lessons ask you to perform combos which some new players may not be ready to execute in order to demonstrate some concept (such as lesson 4-7). If these lessons become more about struggling to perform the combo than understanding the concept, it may save you some frustration if you just come back to them later, or not at all if you feel you understand the concept.
How come it seems like the opponent can keep on hitting me until I die?
The opponent cannot hit you once and kill you in this game under normal circumstances. You most likely got hit by a reset, which means to drop the combo intentionally (therefore giving you a chance to defend) and perform a mixup. Resets are extremely important for maintaining momentum in Skullgirls and is unlike most other fighting games in that sense. Resets are supposed to be quick and hard to see, doubly so if you are a new player. A way to tell for sure if one happened is if the combo counter got reset back to zero. Usually a reset is done with some kind of overhead attack, a throw, or a crossup. Be sure to watch this video for a more in depth explanation.
What do the numbers mean in combo / move notation?
There are two notation systems that the Skullgirls community typically uses interchangeably: Capcom notation (c for crouching, s for standing, f for forward, etc) and numpad notation (using numbers 1-9 to indicate direction, so 2 indicates crouching and 5 indicates standing). Refer to the image for an explanation. This wiki will use both, typically using Capcom notation for basic normals, then using numpad notation for when a certain direction needs to be specified.
What is Double?
Double is a character who fights by turning into other characters during her attacks. Her normals borrow animations from other characters, but their properties are usually different and their uses are recontextualized by belonging to a different character. Her luger, flying butt, and slide special moves are unused animations from Parasoul, Cerebella, and Filia. Double appears as a blob figure when she's not attacking, and takes the form of a nun during her intro and win poses.
What is the difference between Filia and Fukua?
Filia and Fukua are two different characters who share many of the same animations. The way they play and the properties of their moves are completely different. Filia has an air dash and can travel across the air by turning into a ball. Fukua has a double jump and attacks with fireballs and clones of herself. To further visually differentiate herself, Fukua also has floating orbs surrounding her at all times, as well as her own unique color palettes. If all else fails, the character portraits will spell out which character is which.
As a new player, what team size should I play?
There's no right answer. Some people find it easier to start with solos to familiarize themselves with the game, then move on to playing a team, or just continue to play solo. If you feel overwhelmed by learning multiple characters, it's OK to start with solos. If you feel confident and want to start playing with a team's benefits right away, you can start with a team, too. Solos, duos, and trios are all seen at high level play, so the choice of which to stick with is up to you.
Are solos viable?
There were two exclusively solo players in the top 8 of Combo Breaker 2017, the largest Skullgirls tournament of that year, and there are several other strong players who play solo. While not having access to some of the game's main mechanics, such as assists, hinder them, once they get an opening they do an absurd amount of damage.
Who are the best and worst characters?
The final patch for Skullgirls was released in April of 2017. At the time of writing, there hasn't been enough time to reach a community wide consensus. However, are confident that the gap between tiers is very small. Every character is seen at high level competition.
Newbies worried about picking a good / bad character should instead worry about constructing a good team. Since there is custom assist, and characters have multiple supers to DHC to, it's not hard to craft a workable team using most combinations of characters, especially at a low or mid level of skill.
What makes a good team in Skullgirls?
- Characters in this game are very versatile, and can be played in most team positions in most team combinations. But it all depends on what other characters and assists you built the team around on.
- Figure out what character(s) you want to play, then you figure out what position on the team you'd like for them to be in, and finally add in other characters or choose assists that benefit the team from there.
- Team positions for trio teams are as follows: point character, middle (or mid) character, and anchor character. For duo teams, it is just point and anchor characters.
- Point position characters typically are characters who either need or strongly prefer assists to back them up. Choose a point character on your team as a character that you think benefits the most from having assists. Also consider characters that make for a good 'battery', a character which can build a lot of meter, such as Peacock or Ms. Fortune.
- Mid position characters typically have either good DHCs from the point, good supers to use on incoming in case the point character dies, or more simply just benefits more from having an assist than the anchor character would.
- Anchor characters typically are characters that you, as a player, should either feel more comfortable playing as a solo character, or if you feel that their assist is strong enough to benefit both the point and mid characters.
- Be warned that sometimes your team order can get changed, such as from using DHCs, tagging in, or from being snapped by the opponent. Be ready for when your team order has changed to not get blindsided by unexpected situations, or use this to your advantage when you think about team crafting.
- For more information on assists, click here. Some assists can fill multiple roles. Some characters can benefit from one type of assist more than others. Or sometimes, your own playstyle can prefer to use one type of assist over others. Choose wisely what you think most benefits how you want to play.
How many frames of delay should I use online?
Start by setting it to 0 and only increase it on really bad connections where the rollback jumps are noticeable. The in game estimates are a bit generous, some use 'one frame for every 100ms' as a rule of thumb.
I keep losing online, how do I improve?
Take comfort in the fact that every single fighting game player knows your pain. Fighting games are a genre where you will get beat up a lot before you get any bearing on what is going on. Even the best players all started at this skill level. It's worth emphasizing: when you are new to fighting games, you will lose a lot. If you can accept this, then you can really start to enjoy and explore fighting games.
First of all, don't limit yourself to just playing faceless strangers on quick match. Fighting games are perhaps the most fun when you have a group of people of similar skill level to play and talk with, so check out the community page to find out how to get involved with the Skullgirls community.
Don't hesitate to ask questions if you don't understand something. Many people online are experienced and are happy to help new players. In fact, coming up with questions to ask more skilled players can be one of the best ways to gain more insight on a topic. The more specific question you can ask, the more the other person can understand what you're asking and give you a detailed, helpful response.
Remember it's up to you to figure out how you want to enjoy Skullgirls or any other fighting game. Some people get a lot of fulfillment out of the self improvement aspect and competing. Some have fun simply from playing with their friends. Others find the most enjoyment in labbing out the game to find cool tech and combos. There's no one right way to play the game, but as long as you are having fun with the game I think that is what really matters.
Work on one concept at a time
A great thing to do as a beginner is to focus on one concept at a time. There's a lot to unravel when it comes to fighting games, and if you try to understand it all at once it will quickly get overwhelming. Pick one thing to work on, and play with just that thing in mind. Don't concern yourself about anything else going on during the match, just focus on that one thing. It's important to have some kind of goal or thing to think about while you're playing, since you can start to see small improvements in your play. Having the goal "use pushblock in a match" is realistically achievable against a more skilled opponent, and it helps you piece together how you are supposed to use the concept in a real match.
Here's some ideas of things to work on when you're first learning Skullgirls. Be sure to also watch videos of other people playing to see how the different concepts are used in matches. Doing each of these things right will take time, and you will lose a lot at first trying to implement these things. Try to have an experimental attitude about it and you'll find yourself learning a lot! Improvement comes through lots of failure and trial and error, so don't be afraid to lose and don't give up!
- Focus on applying the basic game mechanics that are taught in the tutorial in real matches. The tutorial does a good job of explaining things, but applying the concepts in matches is much harder than just understanding them. The defense mechanics are especially important since you'll be on defense the majority of your time as a new player. Two important ones would be pushblocking and using your character's reversals, which can be found under the basics section on the character pages. Don't get discouraged when you get opened up. Skullgirls mixups are brutal and even the best players can't block everything - it happens. Taking a look at what options you have can give you more chances to play.
- Become comfortable with your character's important moves, and get an idea of how they're used in a match to achieve your game plan. Then learn how to maximize your reward off those moves, whether it be a combo or a knockdown. The character pages can give you ideas for these.
- Practice a combo that you can execute in matches. Even if it's a very short combo, a combo you can pull off 95% of the time you try it is always better than a better combo you drop the majority of the time. A good goal to work towards is being able to do a combo with a restand, which allows for an easy reset point. Check out the combo sections on the character pages for ideas. Also familiarize yourself with the concept of hit confirming, which in simple terms is recognizing if your move was blocked or hit. If it hit you want to perform your combo. If not, you will want to change your response.
- Familiarize yourself with how frame data works. You don't need to understand it all at first. Here's a useful challenge that, if you can figure it out, you will understand all you need to know about frame data for now: learn about block advantage (listed under "on block" on a move's frame data) and why some moves can be challenged or even guaranteed to be punished if you block them.
Learn from your losses
As for how to improve in a more general sense, one of the most valuable habits to pick up to improve at fighting games is to think critically about your losses and to focus on learning instead of winning. This isn't easy as a new player since your ability to analyze and think about the game isn't there yet, but it's a good goal to work towards. After playing a lot of games, take some time to reflect on what went wrong and what problems you encountered. Viewing your own matches is essential to figuring this out. The PC version can save replays in game, and the PS4 lets you save recordings with the share button. After you identify one major problem, think of an idea for a solution. Training mode is especially useful for this. If you are having trouble, watch videos of other people playing your character for ideas. Then, next time you play, try it out and see what happens. Even if you lose, you can still learn something new and apply it next time. Winning against players who usually beat you won't happen overnight - much of the joy of fighting games comes from the process of learning, applying new strategies, and seeing small improvements over time.
Do I need an arcade stick to play this game?
No. Anything works as long as you're comfortable with it. The only caveat is if you are a PC player and want to play on a PS4 at events, you will need an input device that works with it. The most common controllers are arcade sticks, gamepads (such as a DualShock 4), and hitboxes.
First of all, for whichever layout you choose, make sure your keyboard is able to handle ghosting appropriately.
A popular keyboard button config is the hitbox layout. It emulates the layout of a hitbox controller, and allows all your fingers to rest on each of the four directions at once. Another benefit is it allows keyboard players to smoothly transition to playing on a hitbox, which is a good option for a controller when playing on PS4 that is similar to a keyboard. An example of this layout is pictured here.
Be aware that on an actual hitbox controller, holding up and down at the same time will result in an up input, making jumping and flash kick inputs easier.
How do I map player 2 controls on keyboard?
Bring up the button config menu, then the backslash key '\' is default for a button on the player 2 side, which will select 'config all' on P2 side and let you map buttons.
Skullgirls won't recognize my controller, how do I fix this?
First, try opening Steam Big Picture Mode and setting up a controller configuration there. That will usually get SG to pick up on it afterwards. (Mac/Linux users) If the above doesn't work, you'll have to manually define it in gamecontrollerdb.txt. Find this file by right-clicking SG in your Steam library and going to Properties -> Local Files -> Browse Local Files and then use SDL2 Gamepad Tool to create an entry that should be pasted into this file.
Will there be any more updates or DLC?
No. The game is done, physical copies with the final patch have shipped, and Lab Zero has begun working on their next project, Indivisible.
What is 2nd Encore?
Confusingly, Second Encore can refer to three different things:
- The previous balance patch, free on all platforms. There have been two more free balance patches after this: 2nd Encore+ and one more, small, final patch.
- The PS4/Vita rerelease, which bundled all past DLC plus some new singleplayer extras:
- Full voice acting for all of Story Mode.
- Challenges: Various fights against the AI with unusual conditions or restrictions. The last few involve a playable Marie!
- Trials: Four useful sample combos for each character.
- Survival mode: Beat as many AI teams as you can with limited health.
- These extras are not available on PS3 or 360.
- The Steam DLC pack which brought the aforementioned extras back to PC. Buying this pack also gets you all previous DLC.
What's the 2/4-pack listed on Steam? Does that include the DLC?
Those simply give you 2 or 4 copies of the base game, one for yourself and the rest to share with friends. No DLC is included.
Do I need the DLC? Which ones should I buy?
Nothing is required, you can even play online against people who have it (you just won't be able to select DLC characters yourself). But obviously it's nice to have the full roster at least. It's a little cheaper to get the characters alone than buy the whole 2E pack, so if you don't care about the bonus content you could skip it. Though personally I quite like the voice acting and would recommend it if you're into that. Considering how often the game and DLC go on sale for dirt cheap, you might as well get everything.
Platform Differences
What is the difference between different platforms?
The PC version has some extra features, mainly the ability to automatically save and play back replays in game, and frame advance. Much of the Skullgirls online community is on PC as well, since when the game was receiving updates, the PC version got to play the updates while they were in development on a beta version.
The PS4 version is what is played at events, and there is an online community for this version as well.
There is an Xbox 360 version, but it should be avoided as it's not updated to the latest version.
Is there cross-platform multiplayer?
Windows, Mac, and Linux can all play against each other. PS3, PS4, and Vita can all play against each other. PC cannot play against console.
What is the amount of input delay between different platforms?
There is a significant amount of additional delay on the PS4 version compared to the PC version. Below are some tests:
- https://twitter.com/noodalls/status/961933608922460160
- Note: there is no difference between 720p and 1080p. Additional confirmation: https://twitter.com/WydD/status/1053002939143467010
How do I save and view replays on the PC version?
See here
How do I use frame advance on PC?
See here
What are the tournament rules for Skullgirls?
- PS4 is the platform used for tournaments (note for tournament organizers: the PS4 version comes with all the DLC)
- 3/5 games for every match
- Default settings for time limit and number of rounds (99 seconds, 1 round for teams, 3 rounds for solos)
- Loser may change teams on character select
- Winner may change their team order, but not assists (such as via the loading screen shortcuts)
- Any variation of the Robo-Fortune magnet timer scam is banned.
- Random stage, unless both players agree on a stage
Things to note:
- Tournament mode is highly recommended for convenience, but it doesn't affect the gameplay so it's not a requirement.
- Be sure to disconnect all unused Bluetooth devices before playing, since it can cause extra input delay. (PS4 home button → press up → Settings → Devices → Bluetooth Devices → for each one, select it with X, then press Options and select 'Forget Device')
- There is no required resolution, as 720p and 1080p doesn't affect input delay significantly.
How do I easily invite someone to my lobby on PC if I'm not friends with them on Steam?
You can create a link which will direct Steam to join your lobby when you click on it. Create a lobby, then use shift+tab to bring up the Steam overlay. Click on your Steam avatar in the bottom right corner to open up your profile. Right click on the green 'Join Game' button and 'Copy Link Address'. Then share that link with who you want to play with.
SGLobbyLink is a program written by Mr. Peck which will automatically copy the link to the clipboard for you. There is also a Discord bot version.

Researchers at Queen's University in Belfast and University College London have discovered that a drug, originally developed to treat cardiovascular disease, has the potential to reduce diabetes-related blindness.
According to recent WHO global estimates, 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, and one of the most common complications of this disease is vision loss. Diabetic Macular Edema occurs in approximately 7 per cent of patients with diabetes and is one of the most common causes of blindness in the western world.
Currently, the most common treatments for patients with Diabetic Macular Edema is an injection of a drug directly into to the eye every four to six weeks. The therapy is very expensive and doesn't work for about half of all patients with Diabetic Macular Edema.

Road Tripping with Your Pet
As spring enters its full glory, with blooming flowers and budding trees, my thoughts turn to times of upcoming travel. This season, as well as summer and fall, are optimal road tripping times for people, and oftentimes those humans travel with their pets.
My husband and I look to take a vacation this summer to visit family back east, and we will be taking our springer/cocker mix, Mary, along for the L-O-N-G ride. As we make those plans, we're considering taking in a baseball game. Since we can't leave the dog in a hotel, we've turned to Rover.com to learn about pet sitters in the city that we plan to see the game. We've discovered a treasure in that website, as we've used it before, when going to a concert in another city and having Mary along on that journey. I recommend pet parents who travel, or who need pet sitting services in their own town, including boarding or daycare, visit Rover.com – the website is very helpful!
Another helpful site is BringFido.com. This site lists pet boarding/sitting services, hotels that allow pets, and even pet-friendly adventures in different locations. This, too, is a very helpful website for people who travel with their pets; the site even provides information on air traveling with pets.
Dog parks and rest areas provide great opportunities for both pet parents and their four-footed traveling companions to get out of the car, stretch, play, eat, and just break up the monotony of driving. Be sure to provide this respite for yourself and your pet.
Here are some other traveling trips for taking your pet on the road with you:
Following these ideas can make road tripping with your pet much more enjoyable and safe! Happy Road Tripping!

Remember the single pixel contact lens that might usher in a new era of augmented reality goodness? Well, it seems that YouTube user bkraz333 read about it, and decided that having such a contact lens in a rabbit's eye is not going to make the grade, figuring out that he would make an attempt at a similar idea, although he will be the proverbial "test bunny" instead. bkraz333 managed to complete this feat by laminating a coil of wire and an 0402 surface-mount LED between two ordinary soft contact lenses. Since both lenses failed to stick to one another, he had to fix the edges together through a simple act of pinching the plastic together with hot tweezers. This method surprisingly worked like a charm, at least good enough to capture 60 seconds worth of video with the LED illuminated in his eye. Just for video recording purposes, the LED was mounted facing forward, whereas the opposite is required for the real VR/AR display. As for the LED's power source, it relies on a spark-gap transmitter that was constructed from a mechanical relay in order to send RF energy into a larger coil located near one's eye.

Minnesota Rep. and former Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is endorsing U.S. Rep. Connie Mack in Florida's Republican Senate primary, likening Mack to Senate tea party faves Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.
Bachmann is the second former GOP candidate with a tea party following to weigh in on the Senate race recently. Herman Cain came out for George LeMieux over the weekend.
Says Bachmann: "Connie has been a steadfast fighter for freedom, less government and a fiscal hawk together with me in the United States Congress. For every good proposal passed out of the House, the liberal Senate under Harry Reid and Bill Nelson have stopped it, including Connie's recent proposal to build the Keystone XL Pipeline without Presidential approval. Senators like Marco Rubio and Rand Paul need other like-minded conservatives in the Senate to stop the liberals from tearing down our nation. America needs Connie Mack in the U.S. Senate."

Actor Jim Carrey has been sued for allegedly providing his former girlfriend, Cathriona White, with illegal drugs. The lawsuit, which was filed on Monday in LA County Superior Court, claims that those drugs led to her death last fall.
White committed suicide by drug overdose and her husband, Mark Burton, is suing Carrey for it.
Burton claims that the actor used "his immense wealth and celebrity status to illegally obtain and distribute highly addictive and, in this case deadly, controlled substances" under a pseudonym.
"[T]he coroner determined that the Drugs that caused White's death - Ambien, Propranolol, and Percocet (Oxycodone) - all came from three pill bottles found near her body bearing the name 'Arthur King,'" states the complaint.
Burton further alleges that Carrey knew White had depression and hate attempted suicide previously. He is suing for the violation of the Drug Dealer Liability Act and wrongful death. He is seeking statutory damages, punitive damages, and funeral and burial costs.
Burton's attorney Michael Avenatti on Monday announced the lawsuit via Twitter with a now deleted tweet, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Carey has not yet publicly responded.

Children love having play shelters they can hideaway in. Make your kids a tepee for the backyard or even indoors. They'll love having a play tent of their own. Making your own allows you and the kids to customise it as you want and saves money in the process.
Take all six bamboo poles in your hand at once. Wrap three rubberbands around the top of the poles about four inches down. Stand the poles up and separate them so they stand alone in a tepee shape.
Lay the canvas fabric out flat. Fold it in half lengthwise. Then fold in half diagonally so it forms a triangle. With a fabric marker or pencil draw a half-circle on the top of the triangle. Draw a matching smaller half-circle at the bottom.
Cut along the lines you drew for the half-circles. Cut away the excess fabric. Unfold the fabric and lay out flat. Decorate the canvas fabric with paint as you wish. Let the paint dry.
Drape the fabric over the bamboo posts and position so it fits all the way around. Use straight pins to hold in place. Measure eight inches up from the bottom of the fabric and place a straight pin in place to mark the spot. Do this for the material along all six posts. Remove the fabric from the posts and place on a flat surface. Sew plastic rings into place with embroidery floss where the straight pins were placed.
Measure down an inch from the top edge of the tepee fabric and an inch inward and make a mark with a fabric pencil. Make a total of six marks two inches apart down the side of the tepee. Repeat on the opposite side of the tepee entrance flap. These marks are for the grommets.
Cut the holes for the grommets and set in place. Lace ribbon through the grommet holes. Place the fabric over the bamboo poles. Stick the bottom of the bamboo poles through the plastic rings on the inside of the canvas fabric. Tighten the ribbon and tie in a bow to hold the fabric in place.

It seems that since I tidied the garage and hung up my mountain bikes I've only been riding my Duchess, with a brief interlude with my path racer. The Duchess is really the perfect vehicle for exploring the quake ravaged heart of Christchurch as little by little we can get further into the city. This shrinking of the cordon has inspired me to create an installation of pieces which reflect my frustration at the loss of the city to demolition companies and the army, and also make me feel a little bit more like I am taking my city back.
I spent a lovely 2 hours riding around the city setting up and photographing my tiny tableaus and have created a website – CBD Exiles – to celebrate their existence. It's been a couple of weeks now and many of them are still in situ. I'm interested to see how long they last as more and more people return to the city.
I've also been Tweeding again. An epic 20km tweed ride along the Heathcote River, with plenty of pubbery and a little crazy BMX tracking. Unfortunately no racing took place as the evil Chumly Pogward injured his delicate back. Ahhh well, it's probably for the best.
And in the biggest news of the last couple of weeks I headed in for arthroscopic knee surgery last Thursday, to tidy up some long existing meniscal tears and floaty bits of cartilage. The operation went well, but resulted in a very disappointing prognosis for my knee. I went back to the surgeon yesterday for my follow up appointment and was informed that my knee is "Munted". This is NOT a work you want to have associated with anything you care about, your city, bike, house, sewer system, but especially not with a part of your body.
Then the lovely Mr Penny told me that it may not be a problem for a long time due to the fact I'm not fat (his words – he is truly a lovely man) and because I ride my bikes lots. Unfortunately he then went on to explain the baffling photo's I'd received after my surgery (the squeamish should look away now). While they look like pictures of faraway planets (or to the more filthy minded something else) they are interior views of my knee showing the damage removed and the damage that means my knee is basically a ticking time bomb of falling apartness.
|Bad streaming trendils
|Bad lump of meniscus that was causing my knee to lock
|Very old cartilage tear causing some locking

What it boils down to is the cartilage inside my knee is so damaged that in places it is non-existent and that's bad. To be honest, I'm kinda meh about the whole prognosis, I've had trouble with my knee since I was 14 now, it's just a normal part of my life so I'm not too concerned. I'll just ride my bikes lots and lots, stay strong and fit, and hopefully get 15 years out of it before I need a whole new knee.

Luckily with the help of the lovely Bastian I've healed up quickly from my surgery and am riding to work already.
I just need to get rid of this man-flu I currently have and I'll be hitting the road and the trail again to build up for an epic ride on the Longest Day. In the meantime I'm going to start work on my lovely Empire for the Great Poms and Cassels Tweed Run in July. You should come along to it, it is going to be brilliant!

Tampa, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/04/2014 -- Urbano Cigars has announced that it is now offering three new types of premium boxed cigars: the Urbano Corojo, the Urbano Sumatra, and the Urbano Connecticut. Available in boxes of 20, each of these premium cigars offers its own complex layers of flavors and a unique smoking experience.
Urbano Corojo
The Urbano Corojo is a true Dominican puro, first generation Cuban seed. This top-of-the-line cigar has been aged for three years and triple fermented. Beautiful to look at, this hand-crafted masterpiece has a medium to full body with a reddish hue that has been blended from carefully aged Dominican tobacco. Its hearty complex flavor, that has a hint of spice at the open and following whispers of roasted nuts and smooth cedar undertones, offers the knowledgeable smoker of today a Cuban like flavor that possesses nothing less than a truly mesmerizing and delectable aroma. Just wait till you spark one of these up.
Urbano Sumatra
The Urbano Sumatra has been aged for two years and triple fermented. Medium bodied with an eye-catching, chocolaty satin wrapper, this is a cigar that impresses just seated between the fingers. Smokers enjoy this cigar from start to finish with its continuous flavors and solid white ash. Its sweet, earthy flavor turns to a creamy chocolaty smoke with a light leathery finish. When you smoke this, you go on a journey. The Urbano Sumatra is carefully hand crafted with a Sumatra wrapper, Indonesian binder, and Dominican filler.
Urbano Connecticut
Aged for two years and triple fermented, the Urbano Connecticut has a mild to medium body with a luxurious, silky smooth wrapper that is light brown, not tan, in color. The Urbano Connecticut provides a well-balanced, cool, slow, even burn. Smokers find tasty floral notes within this cigar, along with a sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg, the spice for which the Dutch traded away the island of Manhattan. This smooth cigar is an excellent choice for accompanying your morning coffee. The Urbano Connecticut is finely hand crafted from a Connecticut Ecuadorian wrapper, Dominican binder, and Dominican filler.
Urbano Cigars also offers bundles of 25 long-filler cigars. These are available with five different wrappers: Connecticut, Sumatra, Habano, Maduro, and Corojo. Their filler and binder are Dominican. The long-filler bundles are available in Robusto, Torpedo, Toro, Churchill, and 6x60 (6x60 packed 20 to a bundle) sizes.
Urbano Cigars also offers bundles of short-filler cigars. These are available with two wrappers: Connecticut and Maduro. The short-filler bundles are available in Robusto, Torpedo, Toro, and Churchill sizes.
About Urbano Cigars
Urbano Cigar was founded by Matt Urbano. Matt's passion for cigars began 20-plus years ago while he was working in the restaurant industry. As an executive chef passionate about food, rich flavors, and complex textures, he worked in many restaurants and private clubs throughout the northeast of the United States. After an unexpected relocation to Tampa, he quickly became steeped in the local area's rich cigar history.
Matt's love for cigars soon had him becoming fast friends with a master cigar blender who travels regularly between Tampa and the Dominican Republic. Trusting his new friend and his own palate, Matt took his love of flavor and teamed up with this cigar master to create the ultimate line of cigars: Urbano Cigars.
Customers can purchase Urbano Cigars directly off the www.UrbanoCigars.comwebsite. The Tampa-based company offers free shipping and handling (USPS Priority Mail) on all cigar orders made within the US.

No, seriously, I'm feeling very odd, and not even sure what is going on. I woke up feeling either very tired, terminally relaxed or depressed, and I can't tell which. I know this is bizarre, and it's possible what it actually is is "coming down with a cold" or something like that. I just know nothing matters very much and I want to sleep a lot. I hope it's not a cold, as it would be very hard in terms of traveling on Wednesday.
The other side of this is that I've been doing some work with professional guidance. No, not exactly seeing a psychiatrist, but a friend is a psychiatrist and we've been talking. Believe it or not, I'm writing a novel to work through my problems. This is the same world I hid in when I was very unhappy growing up. So, the terminally relaxed makes some sense. But it's weird. If I shed my neurosis, what have I got?
Anyway, I have no intention of just sleeping, because I want to leave the house some semblance of clean, or at least not the mess it is right now, and I also have some clothes to take in/let out before we go.
I realized yesterday that I forgot to give you the program for oh, from tomorrow through the 10th of September.
I am running a lot of guest posts/blasts from the past. I might write a post if something of note happens and if we have connectivity (we will, at least at times) I'll drop into the comments and hang out as usual, but pardon me for doing this, okay? I need some time off. Not a lot, and not off-off. I'll be working on Guardian for one (was just telling the boss when to expect manuscript) and other stuff, if I finish earlier than expected, but…
Every morning I wake up with the consciousness I owe a blog. I'd like two weeks without it. After that, I'm going to try to do more of a write all posts one day and then schedule them too, because just the anxiety of figuring what to write for you every morning often stops me writing fiction and that's not good.
BUT the blog will go on, and I arranged some great guest posts for you, from the polemic to the informative (Stephanie will have a series on the New Madrid fault.) I hope you'll enjoy it and only miss me a little. (You have to miss me a little, otherwise what's the point of coming back.)
Once school is in full swing, and we know his schedule, I'll try to rope younger spawn in to a post a week, and maybe I can get Dan to do something once a week too. Perhaps "adventures in tech" since I SWEAR he's always figuring out something new to do with his computers.
Meanwhile, please keep this country in one piece and the ports open so I can come back. I don't want to have to devise a way to walk back from Europe. I'd be very pissed by the time I get back. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
Oh, yeah, as to the eclipse, a few things:

I literally had this exact same realization last night. I was leaving bible study, headed home for the first time all day at 9pm, and I was rushing home to begin to make a dinner I could freeze and bring to a friend who just had a baby. I had to be able to freeze it since I couldn't make it this evening since I will have to attend my lifegroup. As I was going over which parts of the dinner I would make and freeze and which I would make the day of, I just had to stop and pray. I asked God to help me find balance in what I say "yes" to and what I decide to spend my time doing. I asked Him to help me just be still... and it was honestly kind of hard to ask. I will keep you in my prayers and hope you find the balance, too.ReplyDelete
That is really amazing! I have had moments like that when I just get so caught up in God's creations, it almost makes me weep. I hope that you find that balance soon. I too struggle with it. xReplyDelete
this is a great post! remember take time for yourself!!! start now while you don't have kids...because it's a lot harder to have "your" time. :)ReplyDelete

Your Safari Adventure Guide
What's the best way to make the most of your day full of safari adventures?
Your admission ticket includes entry to both the Road Safari and the Foot Safari, you can enjoy free parking in the Leisure Area and plenty of indoor and outdoor play areas - everything you need for a fun-packed day out with the family.
Before you set out...
- The park is only accessible by car (or bus, coach, minibus or in an enclosed vehicle - no bicycles or motorbikes and you can't enter on foot) so you need to drive to the park. Click here for directions or use MK17 9QN in your satnav.
- No pets or dogs are allowed in the park, if you bring any pets with you, you won't be allowed to enter the park.
- There are two restaurants where you can enjoy lunch, grab an ice cream or a waffle, and there are plenty of picnic areas in the Leisure Area.
- You can set a limit to what you spend on your day out with an All Inclusive ticket. This includes admission, a guidebook and bottle of water on arrival, a meal and a drink in one of two restaurants for lunch and entry to Sea Lion Cove indoor sea lion show and 3D cinema (normally £2 per person).
The Road Safari
This is a drive-through animal reserves and will take around 60-90 minutes. It can be completed first (as you enter the park), or you can go via the re-entry route to repeat as many circuits as you like throughout your day (you'll find the re-entry route by the flagpole in the Leisure Area car park).
Visit the animals in these sections of the park:
- Northern Plains; as you enter the park ahead of the ticket lanes. Spot zebra, deer, bison, horses and camels.
- Savannah Grasslands; the first 40 acre reserve as you enter the Road Safari. Spot the rhinos, buffalo, ostriches, cattle and several species of antelope.
- Kingdom of the Carnivores; home to three drive-through sections with Amur tigers; bears and wolves, and the largest drive-through section of 32 acres, with African lions.
- Giraffe Junction; drive through eight acres with these gentle African giants. On colder days the herd can be seen in their yard next to their brand new house.
- African Forest; a woodland reserve with barbary macaque monkeys, and eastern mountain bongo.
KEEPER TIP: The Road Safari is busiest between 11am and 1pm. Why not drive straight into the Leisure Area and explore the Foot Safari earlier in the day, then later go via the re-entry route to do the Road Safari in the afternoon?
The Foot Safari
The best time to see the animals in the Foot Safari is during keeper talks and demonstrations as this is usually feeding time too!
Make sure you explore, check your map (handed to you on arrival) when you walk around the Foot Safari, to find all the animal walk throughs.
Don't miss the keeper talks and demonstrations - you can watch feeding time with the animals and you'll learn all about lemurs, sea lions, penguins, meerkats and wallabies.
There is a full daily programme of events, so be sure to watch the daily bird demonstrations with parrots and birds of prey and an Elephant meet and greet at Elephant Meadow.
The Leisure Area
There are plenty of FREE indoor and outdoor activities included in your ticket price:
- Swan Boats and Dragon Boats - enjoy pedal-powered fun on Swan Lake
- Great Woburn Railway - take a trip to see and feed the alpaca herd
- Jungle Jamboree, the new outdoor adventure play area equipped with an array of obstacles, musical instruments and animal themed climbing activities.
- The Mammoth Play Ark is super indoor soft play centre, home to the 2x2 Restaurant where you'll find lots of tasty snacks and drinks
- Tiny Tots Safari Trail - an under 5's bouncy castle
Just two activities will cost a little extra:
- Giraffe Trail High Ropes is suitable for children aged 5-12 years of age. Book tickets in the Gift Shop on the day of your visit for only £6.99 each. Click to find out the height and clothing restrictions for this activity.
- Sea Lion Cove is an indoor sea lion show and 3D cinema, with three show times each day. Tickets cost £2 per person and are sold in advance, due to limited capacity for this attraction. Purchase your ticket for your chosen time slot in Junglies Gift Shop.
Things to remember when you visit:
- Make the most of your day, use your map and timetable of talks and demonstrations!
- You are entering the home of many wild species of animals, please be respectful. Please stick to the speed limit of 15mph, stay in your car with your windows and doors shut and please don't feed the animals - they all have special diets and will be sick if they eat your sandwiches! Anyone who does not follow these rules may be asked to leave.
Have a great day!
If you do encounter any problems, then please speak to any member of staff and they'll endeavour to help you.

|Known for
|Neo-Lamarckist views on epigenetics
|Landau prize
|Scientific career
|Tel Aviv University
|Doctoral students
|Aviv Regev
Eva Jablonka (Hebrew: חווה יבלונקה) (born 1952) is an Israeli theorist and geneticist, known especially for her interest in epigenetic inheritance. Born in 1952 in Poland, she emigrated to Israel in 1957. She is a professor at the Cohn Institute for the History of Philosophy of Science and Ideas at Tel Aviv University. In 1981 she was awarded the Landau prize of Israel for outstanding Master of Science (M.Sc) work and in 1988, the Marcus prize for outstanding Ph.D work.[1] She is a proponent of academic freedom, recognising that on such matters, "academic and political issues cannot really be kept apart", although she is not a proponent of simplistic solutions, and shows a preference to describe her own position.[2]
Work on evolutionary themes[edit]
Jablonka publishes about evolutionary themes, especially epigenetics. Her emphasis on non-genetic forms of evolution has received interest from those attempting to expand the scope of evolutionist thinking into other spheres. An example of her work in this area is the book Animal Traditions (2000), co-authored with Eytan Avital, in which they extend models of human cultural transmission to the non-human animal world, to show that cultural evolution has played an important role in the evolution of other animals.[3] Jablonka has been described as being in the vanguard of an ongoing revolution within evolutionary biology, and was a keynote speaker at the Artificial Life XI conference in 2008.[4]
In 2005, Jablonka co-authored with Marion Lamb the book Evolution in Four Dimensions. Building on the approach of evolutionary developmental biology, and recent findings of molecular and behavioral biology, they argue the case for the transmission of not just genes per se, but heritable variations transmitted from generation to generation by whatever means. They suggest that such variation can occur at four levels. Firstly, at the established physical level of genetics. Secondly, at the epigenetic level involving variation in the "meaning" of given DNA strands, in which variations in DNA translation during developmental processes are subsequently transmitted during reproduction, which can then feed back into sequence modification of DNA itself. The third dimension is one of particular interest to Jablonka, comprising the transmission of behavioural traditions. There are for example documented cases of food preferences being passed on, by social learning, in several animal species, which remain stable from generation to generation while conditions permit. The fourth dimension is symbolic inheritance, which is unique to humans, and in which traditions are passed on "through our capacity for language, and culture, our representations of how to behave, communicated by speech and writing."[5]
In their treatment of the higher levels, Jablonka and Lamb distinguish their approach from the banalities of evolutionary psychology, of "memes", and even from Chomskyian ideas of universal grammar. They argue that there are constant interactions between the levels - epigenetic, behavioural and even symbolic inheritance mechanisms also produce selection pressures on DNA-based inheritance and can, in some cases, even help direct DNA changes themselves - so "evolving evolution". To liven their text, they utilise thought experiments and dialogue with a sceptical enquirer, one IM-Ifcha Mistabra, Aramaic, they say, for "the opposite conjecture".[5]
In 2008, Jablonka and Lamb published the paper Soft inheritance: Challenging the Modern Synthesis which claimed there is evidence for Lamarckian epigenetic control systems causing evolutionary changes and the mechanisms underlying epigenetic inheritance can also lead to saltational changes that reorganize the epigenome.[6]
Jablonka is a proponent of the extended evolutionary synthesis.[7][8]
J. Bruce Walsh was skeptical of Jablonka's claims in the book Epigenetic Inheritance and Evolution regarding the importance of epigenetic inheritance in evolution.[9] R. J. Berry, however, wrote that the book made a strong case for the importance of epigenetic inheritance in evolution and recommended the book for evolutionary biologists.[10]
Jan Zima wrote a positive review for the book Evolution in Four Dimensions concluding "the book can be recommended both to professional scientists and all the students interested in biological ideas and the current ways of thinking about biology".[11] Stuart Newman also positively reviewed the book.[12]
Thomas Dickens and Qazi Rahman have written epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modification are genetically inherited under the control of natural selection, and do not challenge the modern evolutionary synthesis. Dickens and Rahman however took issue with the claims of Jablonka and Marion Lamb on Lamarckian epigenetic processes.[7]

Palace Foundation encourages use of faith as cancer cure
OCHO RIOS, St Ann:
Palace Foundation, the charity arm of Moon Palace Jamaica Grande Resort and Spa in Ocho Rios, St Ann has been supporting community health and wellbeing from its inception.
At the recent Relay For Life concert in that resort town, staged by the Jamaica Cancer Society St Ann/St Mary Branch, the Foundation turned out to support the event as it has been doing over the years, but this year using a faith-based theme.
The theme focused on using faith and hope for the cure of cancer, rather than traditional practices.
The tent was adorned with several posters with messages and Bible verses supporting health, happiness and healing, such as, 'He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak (Isaiah 40:29); 'I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord,"(Jeremiah 30:17); 'This is what the Lord says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you," (2 Kings 20:5); and 'Oh Lord my God, I called to you for help and you healed me' (Psalm 30:2).
Manager of the Moon Palace Foundation, Natalie Boreland, said the decision to use the faith theme was based on her personal experience.
"This year I wanted to focus on hope and faith because one of the important aspect of recovery or even dealing with this type of dreaded disease is having faith in God," Boreland pointed out.
"It takes great faith and it is also having hope; if you don't have the hope to survive, to get well then you're already done."
"I've had a personal experience, I mean, my mother, my father both died from cancer related illnesses, my grandmother, my grandfather also."
But it was a recent incident involving an uncle of hers that caused her to definitely confirm the theme.
"Recently, an uncle of mine was given two weeks (to live), he had lung cancer that had gone to all parts of his body and he was given two weeks. I went to look for him because he was on his dying bed, but when I went, it was just beyond anything I've ever seen. I mean, instead of passing, he was discharged and two weeks later he is putting on weight and (doing well). His faith was just something that said to me ... like, listen it's all about having the right attitude and just believing and trusting that all is well despite the pain. It's how you deal with it."
Boreland said they wanted to bring the hope that with Christ all things are possible and despite what you might be going through, you still have to thank God that you can make it."

I don't often wear socks. In fact, I'd go barefoot all year around if I could. But when I wear socks, and I watch a Best Picture winner, I expect to have those socks knocked three states over.
Yeah, our household's a little late to this year's Academy Awards. We watched the show, but we'd only seen two of the Best Picture nominees at the time -- Brokeback Mountain and Capote. We thought both were excellent, but I thought Brokeback would take the top honors because it was a) compelling; b) believable; c) beautifully crafted; and d) new territory.
When Crash was announced as the winner, I was disappointed, but I figured, heck, it must be knock-yer-socks-off good. Better than the Brokeback. Better than Capote. Better than chocolate.

My name is Michael Wise, and I am the proprietor of The Civil War Book Shop. I have been a Civil War buff since grade school, and enjoy visiting battle fields, reading about the war, and discussing it with friends. I am an avid reader, and enjoy browsing through book stores, making that special find and racing home to read it. For several years I have taken advantage of ordering books online, enjoying the convenience of door step delivery. After much research, I determined there is room for an internet book retailer devoted to the serious Civil War reader, collector, and history buff. For nearly five years The Civil War Book Shop has offered a select line of new, used, and collectible books. Along with American Civil War related books, we also offer items in categories such as Early American History, Native American, World War II, Other Wars, Business, Human Interest, Religion, Cooking, Gardening, Quilting, etc. These items are those that capture my interest (and my wife\'s) and that I think may interest others. I try to add new items each week, so check our store front often. My goal is to provide customers with the level of value, service, and convenience for which only the finest traditional, independent retailers are known.
