Lucky Star (TV)
Go back to Lucky Star main page
In the opening sequence, the girls' dance number and the title screen itself are obviously mocking the ending sequence of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, another title animated by Kyoto Animation.
In the preview for Episode 2, Konata is shown reading a magazine at her desk. If you look at the back of the magazine, you can see a picture from Galaxy Angel II pictured on the back. Aya Hirano plays the characters of Kahlua/Tequila Majoram in this series, explaining the reference.
In the Lucky Channel segment of episode 1, the first letter, asking about how much idols make, is from a fan calling himself "Berryko Daisuki-kko" (or "Berryko Lover"). This is likely a reference to J-POP idol group Berryz Koubou.
When Kagami and Tsukasa imagine Konata working at a bookstore, the cut out in the background is Lisianthus from "Shuffle"
The image of Galaxy Angel II mentioned earlier also appears when Konata goes shopping with Kagami. The magazine even has tiny words saying "Playstation 2" referring to the game.
The 2nd ending song is referenced to a Tokusatsu series called Akumaizer 3. Zabitan, Iberu (Evil), and Gabura are the three heroes of the story. Jankeru (jankel) is a general term for sabre. Each hero has his own Jankeru; Zabitan has Zarado, Iberu has Erado, and Gabura has Garado.
The first ending song is referenced to a 1976 tokusatsu called Uchuu Tetsujin Kyodain (or Space Ironmen Kyodain). Skyzel and Granzel are the heroes of the story.
Episode 4 has at least two more anime references: It references Suzumiya Haruhi by Konata giving Kagami the "division chief" armband that Suzumiya Haruhi wore, and later on in the episode, Konata is watching Haruhi while commenting about it on 2ch. To Heart is also referenced because Konata gives Tsukasa the school uniform of the school Akari goes to.
Episode 4 also references Kanon, the second time when Konata is late to school, and explains the scene where Yuuichi first meets Ayu. The teacher's next line starts with "Uguu"
In the Lucky Channel segment, the issue of Comptiq that Akira holds has Feena Fam Earthligh from Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na -Crescent Love- in the cover
the ending theme for the 5th episode is "Chala, Head Chala" from DBZ
The song at the end of Episode 6 is indeed "Valentine Kiss" from Prince of Tennis, but it was originally by Kokusho Sayuri of the Onyanko Club, hence, why Konata yells out "SAYURI", and asks what number member she was, as Onyanko Club had many members in it (answer: 8)
Ep 7 ending song by Miyuki is "chijou no hoshi" (地上の星) Theme from NHK's show "Project X"
At the end of Episode 9, during the preview of Episode 10, Konata is talking about the "infinite lives" trick in world 3-1 of Super Mario Bros, with the fact that if you get over 128, dying once will be game over.
The ending of episodes are song sfrom show performed by the voices of the main characters
Episode 1's ending "Uchū Tetsujin Kyodain" (宇宙鉄人キョーダイン, Space Ironmen Kyodain?) is performed by Konata(Aya Hirano)
In EP2, Konata is watching episode 9 of "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" while trying to study. She even goes as far as complaining about how Kyoto Animation's (the outfit that animated Haruhi and Lucky Star) cut quite a few corners when it came to Yuki Nagato's scenes.
All four girls (Tsukasa, Konata, Kagami, and Miyuki) are left handed.
In fact, the tree store clerks in the Animate scene are the Seiyuus for Keroro, Tamama and Giroro from Keroro Gunsou. At last they even change their faces with the faces of those other characters. The blonde one says "de arimasu" sometimes.
There are three out of five seiyuus who are present in Keroro Gunsou as clerks at : Kumiko Watanabe (Keroro), Etsuko Kozakura (Tamama), and Jouji Nakata (Giroro).
Two Seiyuus of the antagonist of Naruto series (Kujira as Orochimaru) and Yakitate Japan (Fumihiko Tachiki as Yuuichi Kirisaki) has the huge number of roles on it.
In the Episode 17 ED sequence, while Shiraishi Minoru is singing and running behind a bus (??) the camera pans back and Kaori Fukuhara (Tsukasa's Seiyuu) and Hiromi Konno (Akira's Seiyuu) are talking to each other.
During the Lucky channel at the end of each episode, the assistant who co-hosts is named Minoru Shiraishi, and the actual voice actor is named Minoru Shiraishi. If his voice sounds familiar, that's because he also plays as Taniguchi in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
In the intro at 0:55, Konata strikes an Ultraman pose.
In the opening sequence, at 0:55 to 0:56, when Yutaka Kobayakawa (Konata's little brown-haired cousin) appears in the screen, Konata strikes a pose with her fingers which is a trademark of Rumiko Takahashi's works (Urusei Yatsura, Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha) when characters startle or get beaten-up in a funny way.
Episode 19 - In the above referred cosplay of Edward Elric, the boy dressed as Ed was talking to another boy in cosplay as a Federal Alchemist.
Episode 19 - Tamura explains to Kobayakawa that she used an anime's character name "Suzaku" (which Suzaku from many references in animes is not clear) so whe she looks at the screen of a neighbor bowling lane the written names are: Haruhi, Kyon, (Nagato) Yuki, Mikuru and (Koizumi) Itsuki - all characters from "Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu" and then she thinks that there are many people like her - "doko ni mo irun'desu ne Nakama-tte yatsu"
At the end of episode 20, Akira calling Daisuke a crow and Daisuke calling Akira a dog is a reference to Air(TV) in that Daisuke Ono is the seiyuu of Yukito and that Hiromi Konno, the seiyuu of Akira, is also the seiyuu of Potato.
At the end of the Lucky Channel segment of ep. 20, Akira says "Piko Piko" which is a reference to Potato, the dog in Air (TV), a character voiced by the same seiyuu.
At the end of Episode 21, durring the previews for the next episode, there is a direct reference to Air (TV) when the animes talk (particularly the dog that says "picco" and the bird).
The song Yuuchou Sentai Dajare Ranger as mentioned above is a song from the CD Kosutte! Oh My Honey sang by Hirano Aya & Sasaki Nozomi the seiyus for Konata and Patricia
The ending theme for the final episode (24) is 'Ai wa Boomerang', the ending title theme for Urusei Yatsura Movie 2- Beautiful Dreamer.
The ending sequence of episode 23 depicts a lightsaber battle a la Star Wars films.
In episode Three of Lucky Star, Konata gets an invitation card to her cousin Yui's wedding, who as written on the card, is marrying Narumi Kiyotaka, a character fron the detective anime series, Spiral. Coincidentally, Yui is also a police officer, similar to Kiyotaka's wife in the series.
During the Drill scene, there is a Gunbuster parody
the cellphone ringtone of tsukasa as first seen on episode 8 was "Canon" an orchestraic compostion
During the Lucky Channel segment of episode 15, Minoru says "magare" ("get bent") after making the announcement about Akira's live concert. "Magare" is the catch phrase of Koizumi Itsuki from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.
During the Gundam segment of episode 19, the three characters mentioned by name are Amuro Ray, Bright Noa, and Haman Karn. All three are key characters in the Universal Century (UC) timeline of the Gundam meta-universe.
In the Lucky Channel portion of episode 21, Ono Daisuke announces the title of the special segment: "Konshuu no Magare" ("This Week's Get Bent"). "Magare" is the catch phrase of Koizumi Itsuki, whom Ono Daisuke voices in Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.
At the end of the Lucky Channel segment of episode 12, Minoru says "kasei ni kawatte, osekkyou yo!" ("In the name of Mars, I'll preach at you!") This is an obvious parody of Sailor Mars's catch phrase ("kasei ni kawatte, sekkan yo!") from Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon.
The picture that shows on the beginning of each episode is a pun to the 世界名作劇場 (World Masterpiece Theater). Especially to Akage no Anne (Anne of Green gables).
In the ending karaoke sequence of the episode 6, Konata says she would like Miyuki to sing "Omoide ga ippai" : it is the 3rd opening theme of the "Ranma ½" series.
In the episode 6, the scene after Yui's chase on the yellow Mazda RX-7 shows Konata talking about not being car sick due to Nanako's excellent driving. This is a parody of Initial D, where Natsuki (Takumi's girlfriend) also praises Takumi's driving when she doesn't get car sick, during a trip to the beach. Konata and friends are also bound for the beach in this episode.
The Hiiragi family have been registered as official residents of Washimiya because of the anime's wild popularity.
Some time during episode 18, when Konata, Tsukasa, and Kagami are walking home in the rain, two characters named Ichiko and Suzume run past them. These are the friends of the main character of Kyoto Animation's original OVA series called Munto. A TV series has been made in 2009. You can tell by the school uniform that Ichiko is wearing.
In episode Konata turns on the television, saying 'Isn't Haruhi about to start?' However, the ending theme, 'Hare Hare Yukai' plays instead of the opening.
Episode 7 when Konata says "in mangas and animes when the character takes of their glasses they become popular but it doesn't apply in real life" , shes referring to Ichigo 100% when Aya Toujo removed her glasses she became pretty and popular.
in the earlier episodes of lucky star, minoru shiraishi was always called "sebastian" by kona-chan (and also by kuroi-sensei). sebastian (sebastian michaels) is the main character from kuroshitsuji (black butler).
In the OVA , Konata wears a Yuki-like costume (from The Melancoly of Haruhi Suzumiya) and waves a magic wand to force Kagami into assorted cosplays, including Miku Hatsune and 2 to 3 other characters (whom I am not able to name)
In the ending of the sixth episode, while Tsukasa Hiiragi is singing "Valentine Kiss", Konata yells "L-O-V-E Lovely Tsukasa". She may be referring to the third OAV of the "Ichigo 100%" series; in this episode, Junpei (the male protagonist) needs to find how to pretend to be member of Tsukasa Nishino's fan club. When he is about to be in trouble, he escapes those troubles while singing "L-O-V-E Lovely Tsukasa".
In episode 1, there is an obvious Street Fighter 2 game reference with Konata beating up Guile in the Japan stage.
The "Lucky Channel" segment in Episode 1 is similar to Happy Seven's "Happy Station," where the hosts read mail from fans.

In Episode 3, when they talk about anime series with the school teacher being the same age as the students, they are referring to Pani Poni Dash (also, they parody a scene right after).

The battlefield she mentioned is the American Civil War.

In episode 18, during the dodgeball game, Kobayakawa Yutaka is attacker (seme), and her teammate Tamura Hiyori is defending (mamori), but starts to say uke (meaning "receiving", but with seme, the term takes on the meaning of being the passive partner in a male homosexual relationship), before correcting herself to mamori.
Hiyori Tamura's official debut is in episode 18, but she actually appeared as early as episode 12 during the Comiket. She can be seen around minute 8:13 in the background, just split second before the blue hair Animate clerk blocks her and ask Konata of their doujinshi.

Konata's voice...).
In episode 18, from 2'58", when Tsukasa compares Miyuki to a sheep, the latter says "Fumoffu", in a surprised but calm voice: that clearly is a reference to the famous "Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu", another masterpiece from Kyôto Animation.

In episode 19, Konata mentions "Cool Biz" in a conversation with her father. "Cool Biz" is a dress code initiative launched in Japan under the Koizumi administration; its goal is to reduce summertime energy consumption by encouraging workers to dress casually and lightly (hence "cool") at the workplace (hence "biz").
In episode 19, the waitress uniform worn by Kagami during the simulation sequence around 10:43 is essentially identical to the one worn by Takeuchi Yuka in V.G. ~Variable Geo~.
In episode 19, at 7'25", there are three famous quotations that Nanako Kuroi has written on the blackboard : "The most fashionable man in the world" (John Lennon) / "The most perfect man of the 20th Century" (Jean-Paul Sartre) / "I know you are here to kill me.

A preliminary indoor air quality investigation, performed by a building owner, can begin to find solutions for problems caused by airborne particulate and microbial growth.
One primary outcome desired from any IAQ investigation should be to see and document what is normally not seen, namely the existing condition of the entire HVAC system. Our downloadable diagram outlines problem-solving logic that should be used to conduct an investigation. Depending on the reason for an IAQ investigation, there can be many variations of the diagram; however, the key points are to have a good plan and document plans, actions and findings.
A visual inspection for contamination, water (moisture), and microbial growth will often uncover actual or potential causes for indoor air quality problems and can give a building owner an idea of the magnitude of further inspections and corrective action required. The initial walk-through is critical to understanding and ultimately solving indoor air quality problems.
If the purpose of doing an investigation is to respond to employee or tenant health complaints, it is important to discretely interview the appropriate people. In interview situations, particularly with outsiders involved, people often retract exaggerated initial complaints. Conversely, some people will not reveal valuable knowledge until they are asked specific questions in a confidential environment. Care needs to be taken not to unnecessarily alarm the occupants of a building while doing an investigation. Interviews are site inspections are often best done after working hours and/or at a location away from the workplace.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and efficacy of VX15/2503 in subjects with late prodromal and early manifest Huntington's disease.
Official Title
A Phase 2, Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Study in Subjects With Late Prodromal and Early Manifest Huntington's Disease (HD) to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Efficacy of VX15/2503
VX15/2503-N-131 is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study of VX15/2503 in subjects with late prodromal and early manifest Huntington's disease. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of monthly IV administration of a single dosage of VX15/2503 (or placebo). Efficacy endpoints include determining the effect of VX15/2503 on brain volumes (MRI), FDG-PET imaging, 11C-PBR28 (TSPO) PET imaging (subset of Cohort B only) and clinical features of HD including cognition, motor function, behavior, functional abilities, global function and global measurement of change. Additional endpoints include PK / PD, immunogenicity, and exploratory biomarkers. Subjects in Cohort B that have received 12 months of VX15/2503 who volunteer will undergo a lumbar puncture at V13 to collect cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) to evaluate VX15/2503 mAb concentrations, total sSEMA4D levels, and other biomarkers in their CSF. Enrollment will involve approximately 276 individuals who are 21 years of age or older with late prodromal (CAG-age product score (CAP score) of greater than 200 and Diagnostic Confidence Level (DCL) of 2 or 3) or early manifest HD (Total Functional Capacity (TFC) greater than or equal to 11). The study will be divided into Cohort A and Cohort B. Cohort A is now complete and an unblinded analysis has been performed. Cohort A subjects were treated for 6 months with either drug or placebo (1:1) and then all subjects were treated with drug for 6 months, followed by 3 months of follow up. Treatment duration for each subject in Cohort A was 12 months. Participation in Cohort A included a Screening visit, a Baseline visit within 30 days of screening; 12 monthly treatment visits beginning at baseline and continuing through Month 12; follow-up safety phone call at one month and a follow-up safety visit three months after the final infusion. Cohort A subjects participated in the study for approximately 16 months. Based on the analysis of Cohort A, it was decided to extend the duration of treatment for a subset of subjects in Cohort B to evaluate the clinical response to VX15/2503 after 36 months. Additional enrolled subjects in Cohort B will be treated with drug or placebo (1:1). Participation in Cohort B will include a Screening visit, a Baseline visit within 30 days of screening; 18 or 36 monthly visits beginning at baseline and continuing through Month 18 or Month 36; follow-up safety phone call or visit, and for a subset of subjects, a follow-up safety visit three and six months after the final infusion. Cohort B subjects will participate in the study for approximately 19 and up to 37 months.

The truth about your potential is probably more than you're currently expressing. There are an endless number of possibilities with what you can achieve and how you can live your dreams. You are more powerful than you'd probably like to admit (because let's be honest, it's a bit scary to own your true power).
Yet, something is probably getting in the way of you expressing your true potential. Maybe it's a limiting belief or mindset you're holding about yourself or the way the world works.

With Arabica beans from Costa Rica, Peru and Honduras, this coffee has a mild, smooth taste with a hint of nutty flavors. It's suggestive of the beautiful wilderness of Idaho in its lovely, warm flavors. 100% Arabica beans.
Posted by Hugh S. Myers on Feb 1st 2017
At 66 going on 67, I've consumed my share of coffee both in Idaho and around the world. Which means I have a point of comparison (many points actually) and I don't hesitate to labe Idaho Blend one of my favorites! Good stuff!
Posted by jack lamb on May 6th 2016
This is a great coffee. We normally buy Cowboy Blend with that deep, smoky flavor. It tastes simply awesome with a nice kick in the morning. It is simply our favorite coffee EVER!

What are Performance Support Tools (PSTs)?
Organisations worldwide face the dual challenge of enhancing performance and increasing productivity. Clearly, learning and performance gain are inter-linked. On account of this, L&D professionals are on the lookout for measures that can increase application of learning at work.
Training has long been the traditional approach to improve performance.E-learning in particular has been extremely effective in providing this "anytime-anywhere" support to learners. However, formal training is often not enough to ensure that the acquired learning indeed gets applied at work.
This is exactly where PSTs fit in. These are just-in-time learning aids that are available to learners within their workflow.
How are PSTs different from trainings?
As we know, trainings are designed after carrying out the Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and identifying a need or gap. They are structured to meet the defined objectives and provide people to pick up or master a specific knowledge and skill. Trainings can be rendered in a classroom or online. In contrast, PSTs are just-in-time learning aids that help people accomplish tasks so we are not looking at learning objectives but support to get the work done. Unlike trainings, they are not disruptive and are available to learners within their workflow.
When exactly would the learners need Performance Support?
Designed by Dr. Conrad Gottfredson, a leading expert on Performance Support, the Five Moments of Need© is a very effective framework that can be used to map varied learning and performance support needs in any organisation.
According to him, learners seek support in "Five Moments of Need" as indicated here:
If you review this model "Five Moments of Need", a couple of important aspects emerge. The first two moments focus on knowledge acquisition and hence map to formal training (classroom or online). On the other hand, the next three moments focus more on Performance Support. They are aligned to help learners apply their knowledge within their workflow.
So, an effective learning and performance strategy must factor for both measures that are necessary to acquire learning (through formal training) and more significantly, apply this learning (through Performance Support intervention).
On account of this, an effective Performance Support Solution will have a direct bearing on the gains for business; thereby impacting the ROI on E-learning positively.
How do PSTs improve application of learning?
Unlike formal training that tends to be disruptive (pulls the learner away from work), PSTs can be easily embedded in the learners' workflow. The key is that they provide the right amount of support and guidance that the learners need at work (and within their workflow). These can be provided in varied, interesting formats ranging from Mobile Apps to eBooks, Interactive videos, eBooks or Interactive PDFs.
The typical PSTs focus on checklists, ready reckoners, guidelines and so on and can be designed to complement or support formal training. They can also be provided as stand-alone learning aids focusing on performance enhancement. The key is that these aids are available to learners exactly "when and where they need" it.
A case study
Let us look at a case study that illustrates how a PST (as a checklist) that complemented an online course enhanced the application of learning.
Audience: Instructional Designers
Formal training: An online course on "Writing Effective Storyboards"
PST: A "checklist" summarising the workflow to be followed and the key aspects to conform to during storyboarding available as avideo featuring Kinetic text/Text animation
Outcomes of the online course
The aim of the course is to ensure that the learners imbibe the basics of storyboarding and gain an insight about the key focus areas of a storyboard creation.
The gaps (in application)
When we rolled out these courses to our internal Instructional Design team, we found that the conformance to the prescribed workflow to develop storyboards was rather patchy. Since the team had individuals with varied backgrounds and with different proficiency levels, they tended to use individual approaches that they were most comfortable with. We needed to ascertain how we could instill the discipline of following the prescribed approach.
How did we bridge the gap?
We developed a PST (a micro learning object) that served as a "checklist" for the Instructional Designers. This just-in-time learning aid was designed as a video featuring Kinetic text/Text animation with audio that provided a precise and sharp input on the workflow to be followed.
The impact
The checklist is now available to our Instructional Designers on their desktops/laptops as well as tablets/smartphones. Access to this aid within their workflow increased their probability of using them and applying them at work. We see an increased focus in conformance to the mandate now.
The business impact is on account of gains due to:
How can PSTs improve ROI in E-learning?
As we saw in the case study, having an effective training program is often not enough to meet the organisational mandates of enhancing productivity and reducing errors. Using Performance Support to complement or supplement formal training will certainly impact the "returns" for the organisation positively and increase the ROI on E-learning. There would be a direct gain on account of competence gain that will translate to higher performance and productivity levels (as compared to training alone).
It is important to note that Performance Support may not generate all the "returns" but is an extremely effective contributor in enhancing them and improving the ROI on E-learning.

Nyx absorbs all incoming damage and channels that collected energy into an explosive radial discharge.
Energy Drain: 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 s-1
|Strength:160 / 170 / 180 / 200 (passive damage gain)
800 / 900 / 1000 / 1500 (minimum damage)
0.03% (taken damage converted)
|Duration:8 s
|Range:5 / 7 / 8 / 10 m
- Nyx enters a meditative state that allows her to absorb incoming damage and become completely immune to all forms of crowd control. A passive damage threshold is created that increases by 160 / 170 / 180 / 200 every second (e.g., an Absorb lasting 10 seconds will inflict a minimum of 2000 damage at max rank). This threshold has a minimum damage potential of 800 / 900 / 1000 / 1500. If the total amount of absorbed damage is greater than the damage threshold when Nyx leaves her meditative state, all absorbed damage and their types is inflicted to every enemy in a 5 / 7 / 8 / 10 meter explosion of psychic energy.
- Minimum damage and passive damage gain are affected by Ability Strength but absorbed damage is not.
- Only 10% of all incoming damage can be absorbed.
- Explosion damage bypasses obstacles in the environment and diminishes with distance. Affected enemies suffer a Knockdown.
- Explosion radius and orb size is affected by Ability Range.
- The invulnerability is extended to Sentinels or MOA (Companion)s , but not to pets.
- Absorb drains 7 / 6 / 5 / 4 energy per second, and will remain active so long as Nyx has energy. An additional 8 energy is drained for every 1000 damage that's absorbed. Absorb will end if Nyx runs out of energy, or if deactivated by pressing the ability key again (default 4 ).
- Activation energy cost and drain cost from damage are affected by Ability Efficiency, and the channeling energy cost is affected by Ability Efficiency and Ability Duration.
- Nyx cannot replenish energy using Energy Vampire, Rift Plane's innate energy regeneration, Squad Energy Restores, Energy Siphon, Energizing Dash, Rage, and/or Hunter Adrenaline while Absorb is active.
- Absorb's energy drain is not converted into shields by Augur Mods.
- Energy can be replenished by Energy Orbs, Arcane Energize and/or Orokin Void Death Orb energy restores while the ability is active.
- Absorb converts 0.03% of the damage Absorb takes into an additive weapon damage bonus that activates when the ability is released, lasting 8 seconds, or until the ability is used again.
- E.g. the damage bonus looks like: (1 + Damage Mods + absorb conversion percentage × (1 + Strength Mods))
- This effect has an upper cap of 400% additive weapon damage.
- Does not apply to melee weapons
- Nyx is immune to all effects by enemies. This does not include the energy drain from Energy Leech Eximus, which can still constantly drain energy as they are near.
- Nyx's evasion passive is disabled while Absorb is active.
- Casting Absorb in the air will cause Nyx to stay suspended until the skill is deactivated.
- Absorb will stop any movement achieved prior to casting the skill when used in the air.
- Even after deactivation, no momentum will carry over. Instead, you will drop straight down.
- This does reset the directional melee, however, and it may be used again to regain some momentum. Used in this manner, Nyx is able to "fly" across tiles so long as she has energy to cast Absorb.
- After not receiving damage for a short amount of time, the damage counter resets. This will not reset Absorb's total accumulated damage, however.
- Nyx's threat level is raised while Absorb is active.
- Shields are allowed to recharge freely while in the absorb state, whether Nyx is being attacked or not.
- If cast while falling off a ledge, Nyx will return from her original location and release Absorb immediately.
- Arcanes that require player to receive damage to trigger (such as Arcane Agility) does trigger while under effect of Absorb. However, incoming attacks does not consume Health Conversion stacks.
- Main article: Assimilate
Assimilate is a Warframe Augment Mod for Nyx that allows her to move and attack while channeling Absorb and prevents friendly fire from being absorbed, at the cost of shrinking Absorb's effective radius by 50%.
|Movement Speed
- Both the player and their allies can contribute to the damage absorbed, dramatically increasing damage output.
- It is not advisable to use this skill with the sentinel Shade. Shade will cloak Nyx during the Absorb period most of the time, whether the enemy is crowded around Nyx or not. As such, no damage will be absorbed as the enemy cannot see Nyx. During solo, the skill works fine still, as there are no teammates to draw enemy attention away.
- Using this ability while on an Ice Trap in the void will greatly reduce energy drained.
- If playing solo, this ability is a good candidate to combine Maximized Ability Efficiency and Maximized Ability Strength. When combined, the ability will:
- Cost 12.5 energy to activate, 7 energy per second to channel, and 4 energy will be drained for every 1000 damage absorbed.
- Deal 4260 damage to targets within 10 meters.
- Ragdoll all enemies, throwing them backwards. (minus exceptions listed above)
- Alternatively, a solo player can utilize self-damage from weapons such as Penta, Stug or Castanas to quickly and dramatically increase Absorb's damage without relying on the passive damage gain.
- Some user functions are still available even after Absorb is cast (thought it's not clear if this is intended functionality):
- Allies that stand inside the absorb bubble are shielded from incoming ranged damage to some degree.
- This can be a useful way to assist resurrecting an ally in a party of 3 or more.
- During this ability, Nyx will be in mid-air suspension, instantly stopping her fall speed. This can be an advantage in correcting improper fall timing or while performing coordinated Maneuvers.
- If Absorb ends in mid-air, in can often perform headshots on nearby enemies.
- For easy energy management one can use Equilibrium in combination with Synth Deconstruct and Synth Fiber.

My oh my, I don't know what we have gotten ourselves into with our little firecracker, but it's going to be a fun ride. Let's start with food. When Aila is hungry, she opens her mouth super wide, and points to it. Repeatedly. Perhaps you've seen the videos of her eating burritos or spaghetti (or photos of her with chocolate smeared all over her face and hair and hands and car seat…). If not, you should check them out. They're a thing. This girl could single-handedly stuff a super burrito into her face and eat it like a boss before she turned two. Even the burrito company was impressed.

New Year's Resolutions 2019
After trying and failing multiple times to find time for our annual New Year's resolution setting (we were too pooped, or had plans every night), Andy and I finally set aside a special breakfast date to get it done. It was, as always, really fun to look back and look forward.
As is our pattern, we killed it on some resolutions and really sucked on others, though we gave ourselves partial checks on goals that we at least attempted to some degree. And, to be fair, though it doesn't look like our "Communication and Bearing Burdens" category fared well, we have been working really hard on improving our communication skills, so I feel pretty good about giving us a check there overall.
I'm really excited for the Come Follow Me program at church this year (not to mention, two hour church! Wahoo!); it's only been a few weeks, but we have been diligent about preparing lessons every Sunday, and we have felt the blessings in our family. I think this program will help us improve in places we fell short last year.
As far as personal goals, the one I worked on the most was writing the draft of my first YA novel. I finished it early in the morning on December 31! I never EVER in a million years thought that I could, would, should write a novel. In fact, when I first started writing children's books, I swore up and down that I would never write anything beyond picture books. Novels seemed too complex, too long, too impossible to even attempt writing. But, after I read The Hate You Give, by Angie Thomas in he summer of 2017, I was inspired and felt prompted to try. Even though it's just a draft and needs a TON of work, I'm really proud of myself for finishing it.
Here are our family goals for 2019:
Here are our personal resolutions:
In addition to writing goals, I'm really excited about my sleeping one. I'm determined to get so much sleep that the bags under my eyes go away! HA…hopefully that's even possible.
This goal isn't purely aesthetic, I have finally learned that I cannot, in fact, function without sleep. Postpartum depression has forced me to really understand that my emotional health is directly tied to how much I sleep. So, I'm really going to try to sleep more even if means I can't meet the other goals I set for myself. So far, I have been doing a little better, but I still have a ways go to!
This year, Carter told me some of his goals as well. He came up with all of them himself, in this order, and I love them:
- Give toys to kids who don't have toys.
- Take guitar lessons.
- Share toys more.
- Read with mommy more.
- Give packages to people.
- Play with more people at home (invite more people over to our house).
- Listen to people when they're talking.
- Swim (with people).
I feel like this will be a year of changes and miracles. I'm excited for 2019!
Starting the Year in Yosemite
All I wanted to do at the end of 2018 was hole up in a cabin and hike around Yosemite. Thanks to my Uncle Roger and Auntie Sharon, we were able to do just that. We celebrated the end of 2018 and kicked-off 2019 in my favorite place on earth…I feel like 2019 is going to be a year of miracles and change! Continue reading "Starting the Year in Yosemite"
The Big Christmas Post
Every year I feel like I get a little better at the holidays. This year, we got our Christmas cards out before Christmas. We had our presents (for our kids) wrapped on time…and didn't have to stay up until the wee morning hours on Christmas Eve to get it done. I made sugar cookies with the kids and we delivered them to friends. I helped Carter write and deliver his first letter to Santa. I started prepping for Christmas Eve dinner a few days in advance so it was less stressful on Christmas Eve. We started a new tradition of Christmas morning crepes because they're soooo much easier than the cinnamon rolls I used to make. We did our first family reenactment of the nativity, and this was my favorite thing about our entire Christmas season.
And yet, there are so many things I wish I could have done better. I have a constant, nagging feeling that I'm not doing enough. I want to follow Light the World better. I want to tie Christmas more closely to the Savior, and make sure my kids know the true meaning of the holiday. I want to do more service with my family. I want to make more crafts. I want to help my kids make presents for others. I want to make gingerbread houses (we got some kits for my parents but they are still in boxes!)…and on and on. Continue reading "The Big Christmas Post"
Family Photos 2018
Last year we attempted to take family photos, but Andy got a migraine the morning of the photo shoot and both kids had low-grade fevers…so that was awesome.
This year, we took photos with Katie Heiner Photography, who I discovered through a mutual friend after she posted a giveaway on her family travel Instagram account. Sadly, I didn't win the giveaway, but this is a great example social media's benefits – making connections that might not otherwise have existed.
I was looking for someone to take headshots for upcoming writer news (eeek!), and thought it would be perfect to get some family photos while we were at it. Of course, in the end, we chose mostly family photos and only a couple headshots…I don't need that many photos of myself, amirite? Plus, my kids are cuter and I'd rather have pics of them.
We were thrilled at the pictures and so grateful we decided to do them this year. Katie did an incredible job. I love photos, and it's so nice to have some taken by someone who actually knows what she's doing! Continue reading "Family Photos 2018"
