4.0.6 Review
PvE Changes:
Total Eclipse: Benefit from mastery increased by approximately 33%. This buff sounds bigger then it is. In reality it's a modest DPS increase of 2.5%-3.5%, but it will change the way we gear and reforge because it moves Mastery Rating ahead of Crit Rating in terms of marginal value.
Wild Mushroom: Several changes were made to WM in this patch. It's now instant cast, the radius of detonation was increased, and the damage was increased by 30%. If you haven't been playing with WM already, you better start. It's going to be a big part of any AoE rotation we do, and there are several fights where it will be very nice.
Moonkin Form: Grants 15% damage reduction instead of increased armor, and shapeshifting in or out of this form now breaks roots. I much prefer a 15% damage reduction over the increased armor. Some of you may be a little confused by the shapeshifting section of the blue comment. In short, Blizzard took away the ability for all druids to break roots with shapeshifting, but gave it back to Moonkin and Restos.
Starfall: Will no longer strike targets that are not in combat and will now drop stars at a slightly faster rate. This is primarily a quality of life change that I approve of. I think most of us have been in a situation where we hit Starfall and pull a mob we didn't intend to, or saw our stars wasted on insignificant targets. This should make life a little easier during trash, and should increase our significant DPS during boss fights.
Glyphs: Glyph of Entangling Roots will now reduces the cast time of Entangling Roots by 0.2 seconds, rather than making it instant cast. Glyph of Wrath now increases damage done by Wrath by 10% and no longer requires Insect Swarm on the target. Neither of these changes are huge, but are worth remembering. I loved having GoER for 5mans because it made CCing so easy, but I can see how it could be a problem in PvP. The GoW change shouldn't mean a whole lot since Insect Swarm should have a near 100% uptime, but it should be a small DPS increase for the fights where you use GoW.
Fungal Growth: The duration has been increased to 20 seconds. In addition, it should now be much more responsive when detonating Wild Mushrooms. I wasn't real impressed with Fungal Growth when I played with it because I thought it was fairly short and didn't apply quick enough. This should fix both of those issues.
Shooting Stars: The buff duration has been increased to 12 seconds. A small quality of life change that's probably a bigger deal for PvP and leveling then it is for PvE. If you weren't getting a Starsurge off in 8 seconds you were likely doing something wrong.
Mana Cost Reductions: Moonfire, Sunfire, and Typhoon all had their mana costs cut in half. Obviously it's a positive change but in my experience probably isn't that significant.
Profession and Buff Changes:
Meta Gems: New Meta gem Burning Shadowspirit Diamond will increase Int by 54 as well as increase your Critical Strike damage by 3%. In addition to that, the meta requirement for all 3% crit damage gems has been changed to must have 3 red gems equipped. The Burning Shadowspirit Diamond will be BiS, but will likely be difficult to find right after the patch. I would have a Chaotic ready to use right away and pick up the Burning when it becomes a little more available.
Engineering: The Synapse Springs effect now lasts 10 seconds, down from 12. This reduces the effectiveness quite significantly. The average benefit of the Synapse Springs is now just 80 Int but in reality is likely different when you consider other factors.
Bracer Enchant: New bracer enchants are available, on of which will increase Intellect by 50. This is really a nerf to the leather working profession buff. This means Leatherworking now provides the user with 80 Int instead of the 100 or so that it did before.
Off-Hand Enchant: Superior Intellect now increases Intellect by 40, down from 100. It sucks but I'm not surprised. Giving a 100 Int enchant to the off hand slot was probably a bit overpowered, especially since Staffs didn't have a similar enchant. I still think MH/OH combo is the better way to go, but his nerf evens the playing field a little.
Tailoring: Nothing really changed with tailoring other then some tooltip fixes, but it is the new over budget profession buff. Lightweave Embrodery is providing around 105 Int due to a smaller then expected internal cooldown. I'm not suggesting that everyone should change to it because I bet it will be nerfed, but it is definately the best for now.
Alchemy: New Alchemist's Stones for Agility, Strength, and Intellect have been added. The new Int trinket isn't going to be BiS. It might not even be a good transition item since the Darkmoon Card and Stump of time are so easy to obtain, but I'm sure it can work into your plans some how depending on what your gear needs are.
PvP Changes:
I should really call these non-PvE changes because many of the changes above are significant for PvP as well. These are a few changes that don't really impact PvE but will be significant to some of you.
CC Changes: Entangling Roots, Hibernate, & Nature's Grasp now have a PvP duration of 8 seconds. I don't PvP much so I'm not sure what the significants of this is, but I think it standardize the CC a little bit across classes.
Set Bonus: The PvP Balance druid 4-piece set bonus effect has been increased to 20 Solar Energy and 13 Lunar Energy, up from 5 and 13. The effect will also now be more intelligent at choosing whether to give the druid Lunar or Solar Energy (it checks the Balance Power to determine which to give depending on which energy is higher at the time). Again, I'm not sure how significant this is, but I sounds like it should be a pretty big help.

The PvP changes (minus the removal of instant roots) for Moonkin are fantastic in my eyes. First, the mastery bonus is great for the rare pvp mastery stacking Moonkin like myself. That, with the PvP set bonus will keep me in eclipse even more than I already am. My trinkets boost me to over 12k sp when all procced, averaging about 9-10 over time so that damage is substantial (70k+ crits are normal for me in pvp on starsurge, 14k initial sunfire hits too).
The pvp durations for the ccs aren't a huge deal. This is a good one for us Moonkin.

Just wanted to give a shout out. I check your site 2-3 times a day for updates / gearing options and general math associated with playing the best class in the game. Thanks a lot for making a bad ass site that show not only up to date and relevant information but also accurate analysis of how to be AWESOME just like you!
You should set up a way to donate to "keep the site going" or a way to take "payment" for all of your hard work that you pass along to all of us in wow land. I has a mean fruit cake left over from X-Mas that I think you would love as a way to say thanks.
- February 8, 2011 at 2:20 AM
PvP changes are basically 2 steps foward and two steps back
so basically where you were before the patch is where you will be after the patch.
still cant get to eclipse on a consistant basis and still have the same problem as before casting
you are crazy if you think "this is a good one for us moonkin" with the changes to roots and zero fixes on casting.
You will still be chained and there is nothing you can do about it
good luck ever getting a roots off now.
- February 8, 2011 at 6:00 AM
I entirely agree with Volunsteer. This is a great site. Thank you for all your dedication and hard work.
- February 8, 2011 at 6:17 AM
pvp duration on cc is significant - its across the board and makes good cc a much higher skill set
- February 8, 2011 at 6:58 AM
As a casual PvP player, and hardcore PvE player, The instant cast entangling roots was a favorite of mine, and often used, esp. when trying to disengage from an enemy as resto. With all of the classes increased speed abilities and snares, travel form has reduced effectiveness. I'm sad to see this change go.
Can you comment on the news that PvP item base stats will be cut? And I thought PvP set bonus for balance will give more eclipse energy? Still don't like this bonus at all, more energy when I get Crit?? Yeaa, I finally hit an eclipse state and I'm dead.
Additionally very interested in seeing if the new mushrooms are worth it. Placing 3 and having to detonate still seems very clumsy though. glyph of place 3 mushrooms at once in the works??? :)
PS: Easy to obtain darkmoon cards? Where are you playing, these are going for 35K on my server and a TON of herbs,milling etc. to get them. And you think this stump of time is better than the new alchemy stone? +351 int (with red gem) and +194haste? If anything at least you don't have to grind TB rep, although I already have.
thanks for the commentary.
- February 8, 2011 at 9:55 AM
1. Thanks for the blog. It's a great resource.
2. I'm using Volcano & Stump of Time. It sounds like you think the new Alchemist Stone is a downgrade from Stump of Time. How sure are you about that?

Something seems to be up w/ Starfall. It is doing insane damage right now. On the "elementium monstrosity" fight for example, the other boomkin in our 25 man was 20% dmg from starfall.
I'm very happy with the changes. We were both in the top DPS spots for most of a BoT-25 full clear.
Boom shrooms, starfall, and typhoon on Cho'Gall = woop!

Any comments on Leatherworking ? With the addition of Red sockets, are the crafted leather gear more viable pre-raid ?
- February 9, 2011 at 3:28 AM
About the reworked shooting star... its not only a small buff, but it also fixes small issues on raids where the proc had a very high chance of getting wasted (Wyrmbreaker, conclave of winds for example).

@Volunsteer and others
Thanks for the kind comments. I don't put up a Donate button, because I don't like the idea of people paying for my content. It's really just a hobby of mine and I don't pay anything to host the site. In the end, if I asked people to donate I would feel a greater obligation to post more frequently. I'm not planning on stopping anytime soon, but I don't want to feel like I'm letting anyone down if I go a little while without posting.
I think the Darkmoon Cards are relatively easy to get. Yes they can be expensive depending on your luck and what server your on, but it is BIS currently and you don't have to compete with anyone else for the drops. In fact, Mine paid for it self, because I sold my other cards that didn't fit the deck. Even if your not a scribe you can probably get a guildie to craft them for you.
Regarding the Stump of Time: If you need the hit Stump of Time and the new alchemist stone are reatively equal in value. The 351 Int and 194 haste on the stone are great, but 321 hit is also very good, and the proc is quite good as well. I verified my valuation with several WoL logs and Im satisfied with the results.
@Drunken Beard
I forgot to update the gear list with the changes to crafted gear. I will have to go back and do that.
- February 9, 2011 at 9:00 AM
Personally I've become a little worried that we're going to see nerfs in the near future. After raiding last night, my overall dps through BoT on Halfus, T&V, and Ascendant Council was an easy 2.5k to 3k above the #2 spot.
I will grant that these fights are tailored towards moonkin strengths, being that there are 2+ targets to DoT during most of the fights, but the last time I saw my personal damage jump so far in front of everyone else was when they put the new talent trees in at the end of WotLK and moonkin started melting everything in sight. That was nerfed down by the next week, and I'm nervous the same will happen here.

Welcome to the land of crapton of damage. Yesterday, at Maloriak 25, I spiked a 850k crit hit with Wild Mushroons.
Here`s the log on Magmaw, Omnitron and Maloriak:
And I don`t even have 2 Tier pieces.

Regarding the Starfalll change.
Slightly faster fallling stars appears to mean twice as fast.
After a little testing, a bit tricky since the new mechanic means it won't fall on testdummys at all, shows it todropp 20 stars on signle target situations and 40 stars with 2 or more targets.
This doubles our damage from each starfall, compared to the old one.
So this is a quite significent boost to our overall DPS.
- February 9, 2011 at 5:11 PM
- Andreas said...
This might even make the glyph of starsurge a clear choise over one of our other prime glyphs. Even in single target situations.
Anyone up for doing the math on that?
- February 9, 2011 at 5:13 PM
Thanks for the reply to my post (anon2). I glyph Starsurge now, and after the patch, although not working on target dummies, starfall is hitting very hard.
- February 9, 2011 at 9:44 PM
thx for your work Graylo!
Since yesterday "Soothe" ist instant again.
- February 10, 2011 at 3:22 AM
Just to let you know that me and few other on Lightbringer EU are having SFall hit out of combat mobs :/ On map and in 5man heroics. Havent had the balls to try it out in raid enviroment.
- February 10, 2011 at 5:02 AM
- Andreas said...
I tried it out on a couple of occations in SCC and a few other raids, last night and didn't have any issues of it pulling extra packs.
But I've read other repports from ppl that have had that happen as welll.
Suprice! New machanics are buggy :)
- February 10, 2011 at 10:48 AM
Mastery in Arena is kinda wasteful as you very rarely enter solar/luna. You're better off with crit. Regular BG's is ok, but who cares. The good stuff comes from arena, and the Arena dagger is the best raid starter weapon until your well into raid progression. All the blues don't compare - not even close.
In arena pvp, boomkins can still be neutralized as we really don't have any decent defenses. I would much rather see Thorns re-buffed to it's original damage base. The roots change really sucks in arena, and natures grasp, although instant once you're hit, doesn't help against melee cause they can still hit you until you break whatever stuns they have on you and run away. By that time, they're untangled and still kicking your butt. I'd rather they take bigger damage against thorns until you can get back into a fighting position.
Shrooms - I luv the damage, but again, it is very limited in arena. It'd be nice if they worked more like Totems. Or even better, detonate when another player gets in range. Then you wouldn't have to worry about hitting the detonate button and just missing a pursuer. PVE, if your tank stays on the shrooms, is HUGE aoe- HUGE. I likey, but again, if your tank moves, or you don't hit the stupid detonate button in time, it's wasted.
I like the mana changes as I don't come close to having issues any longer in raids and can save innervate for the healers. Hope they don't change this.
Also hope they don't nurf any of the changes they recently made. Although I was near the top of the charts before the changes, I like being the top dog. Woof!

Nerfs confirmed.
*Moonfury (Balance druid mastery) is being changed from 15% to 8% Arcane and Nature damage.
- February 11, 2011 at 8:41 PM
We think we overnerfed Balance. Some smart players have pointed out that Balance's dps was inflated by a bug with Starfall that we have since fixed. With that in mind, we are changing the Moonfury nerf from 15% to 10% instead of 6%. This will be hotfixed soon™.

Hi Graylo
just a little question. After Moonkin's changes (from armor-buff to damage-mitigation) do you think Perseverance remains a good talent to consider? Maybe it's better using 3 points in Fungal Growth, Gale Winds (and something else) or return to a classic Owlkin Frenzy. What do you think about?
- February 14, 2011 at 2:36 AM
- Serrac said...
@Thel: Fungal Growth is primarily a pvp talent, its pve usefulness is situational, and the effect can cause some confusion at least at first (then it just causes mockery =P ) Gale Winds is almost useless atm. Wild Mushroom and tab dotting do so much more damage than Hurricane, you might as well take that off your bars.
Owlkin Frenzy on the other hand has a very high uptime compared to ICC from what I've seen. That's where my points went.

NRA's next president to lead court battles against gun control
Porter (64), the son of another Alabama lawyer who served as NRA president from 1959 to 1961, is likely to succeed David Keene on Monday in the two-year post at the nation's leading gun-rights organisation.
The longtime member is chairperson of the legal affairs committee for the NRA, which has headed off federal attempts to approve new gun ownership restrictions, including a US Senate proposal last month for expanded background checks.
Porter told NRA members at their annual convention in Houston on Saturday that President Barack Obama was "AWOL" on border security, the deficit and national security, but "scheming and plotting" to take away Americans' gun rights.
"There is nothing, nothing that criminals do with guns that isn't already against the law," Porter said.
In a speech to the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association in June 2012, Porter called Obama a "fake" president and US Attorney General Eric Holder "rabidly un-American".
The NRA's focus is far different now from what it was when Porter's father, Irvine Porter, led the organisation. The NRA then focused mainly on shooting and hunting. Its emphasis shifted in later decades to lobbying against restrictions on guns.
Porter, the NRA's first-vice president, who by tradition is expected to be elected president on Monday by the board, introduced the outgoing president, Keene.
"If I have anything to say about it, you just heard from your next president of your National Rifle Association," Keene told the crowd.
Wayne LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice-president and chief executive, remains the most visible leader of the group.
Challenging restrictions
Keene told the Washington Times earlier this week that Porter would be a "perfect match" as NRA president as it focuses on court challenges to state laws restricting gun ownership.
"As we are likely to win most of the legislative battles in Congress, we will have to move to courts to undo the restrictions placed on gun owners' rights in New York, Connecticut, Maryland and Colorado," Keene told the newspaper.
Connecticut and New York expanded assault weapons bans and restricted the capacity of ammunition magazines after a gunman killed 20 students and six adults at a Connecticut school in December.
Colorado, where a gunman killed 12 people and wounded 58 others in July 2012 at a midnight showing of the Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises, approved restrictions on the size of ammunition clips and universal background checks.
Porter, a 1971 graduate of the University of Alabama, told the New York group last year that the fight to protect the Second Amendment to the US Constitution setting out the right to bear arms had just begun, and that Obama's "entire administration is anti-gun, anti-freedom, anti-Second Amendment".
On Saturday, Tom King, an NRA board member from East Greenbush, New York, said Porter was a likable family man and successful attorney who would be a good NRA president.
"I say things that are controversial too, everybody does," King said.
"If you want to take something out of context and say, 'He said that, that's controversial,' and you want to attack him for that, that's your prerogative or anyone else's prerogative, but Jim is a good man. - Reuters

Ok, so some of you might as well start making popcorn now but here goes...
For those of you who may be new to the sport, or new to the coast, I feel like a refresher of the guidelines are in order. Saturday's session reminded me that it might be time!
1. If you are just mowing the lawn or running straight in to the beach and then straight back out...STAY OUT OF THE SURF LINEUP. There is a mile of beach with little peaks that you can play on downwind. The wave zone is located straight off shore and upwind from the launch area. Riders that are in the wave rotation will enter the lineup upwind a little from the launch area and then proceed to rip the $hit out of the waves as they ride down the line/down wind before heading back out and then tack upwind to the top of the lineup again. There is a rotation and if you throw a wrench in it by just riding straight in and out through the surf zone, you will not make friends.
2. Yes, it is right in front of the launch zone, so... If you are rigged up and ready to go out, or you lost your $hit while riding a wave, be aware of the riders working their way down the line. They have priority. As a rider comes down the line, fly your kite over the beach and keep it as low as safely possible so the rider on the wave has room to send their kite back and forth as they make their bottom turn. When the waves are small and close to shore their kites may actually swing around over the beach. They are looking at the wave ahead and lining up for their next turn and are not necessarily looking out for you. It's your job to stay out of the way as much as possible. Once there is a break in the action, get on your board and get out of the wave area quickly. Sometimes you may have to wait for several minutes, deal with it. Another rider is already lining up for some tasty waves and will be bummed if you are in the way.
3. Generally, the waves in front of the beach and upwind are rights. If you are coming from downwind and trying to hook into a left, be aware that the rider on the right peak is actually on the wave and has priority. There are plenty of peaks that go left slightly downwind of the main wave area.
4. If you want to get into the wave rotation, watch the riders that are working the waves and follow their lead. Once you figure out how the rotation works it's is more fun for everyone and you will be able to get waves. If you continually buck the rotation, you will not make friends, and no one will make an effort to give you waves.
5. In the wave zone, the rider on the wave, or riding inbound, looking for a peak has priority. They are searching for a wave and trying to line on a peak. If you are heading back out bear off a little and give ROW. It won't cost you much ground but forcing ROW may cause a rider to miss a wave. This will not make friends.
During small summer conditons these rules are even more important because the waves are close to shore and there are fewer of them so riders are even more bummed to miss a good one. Also, during the winter or big swells, Mother Nature tends to regulate the situation.
Franky, I don't care if you are on a surfboard, twintip or a surf mat, please be considerate of how things work and try to imagine how YOU would feel if you had just lined up on a wave and some other rider caused you to give up your line....now imagine that happening over and over and over and over..... There is a reason the locals get a little frustrated!! (I'm talking specifically to you, rider in red shorts and a twintip, on Sat. I had to give up wave after wave because you insisted on mowing the lawn in the lineup)
In general, the locals are not mean and no one will tell you that you can't/shouldn't ride the coast, but be aware that things work a little differently here and you will not make friends by ignoring this.

Jodie Foster is hardly the first celebrity to acknowledge that he or she is gay, but she may be the biggest so far and she did it on a big stage — the Golden Globes awards show, which was televised worldwide Sunday night and watched by some 20 million viewers. It may not have been breaking news for a roomful of Hollywood power brokers and stars — or for anyone who follows the entertainment industry closely — but it was no doubt a significant moment for the many moviegoers who generally believe, in the absence of any information to the contrary, that actors' sexual orientations parallel those of the characters they play on screen.
In fact, Foster had already publicly, if even more obliquely, alluded to the woman in her life when she accepted an award at a smaller 2007 event and praised, among other friends, "my beautiful Cydney." And, at this point in her career, with two best actress Oscars and multiple turns as a director and producer, Foster, who is 50, risks little professionally with such a revelation.
But as she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award, the mere fact that it took her more than six minutes to offer a sometimes coy but ultimately poignant explanation of why she chose to be so private on this matter for so long speaks volumes about how difficult coming out still is for many public figures.

I am a long time fitness enthusiast and finally pursuing my dream in starting my own fitness gym. My niche in the industry will opening up an indoor cycling studio, or as some of would call it, 'Spinning.' My studio's name will be called West Coast Cycling Studio. However, for the purposes of the logo, I would like to possibly leave out the word 'Studio.'
A Spinning studio is somewhat of an 'premium' product. My best comparison would be with coffee. There's coffee at the local 7 eleven, where they have variety of other products as well, and there's also coffee, exclusively sold at Starbucks, where they specialize in only one premium product, coffee.
Target audience:
My target audience is people within the ages of 30-60. All audiences, including 20's should be considered, as my clientele will be comprised with people of all ages.
Few things I am looking for in my logo:
-Simple- Even though i don't want anything elegant, I still want something that is very professional
-Incorporating an outline of a person cycling, preferably leaving out the rear wheel, as indoor cycling only has a front wheel. Show me whatever you can come up with. If it works, it works.
-Would like to incorporate a specific color of blue, 'Dodger Blue,' if you will.
Here is an example of something i would like. This is the logo for the company 'SPINNING.'
Lettering can be incorporated within the logo. Lettering can also be above or below. Doesn't matter. Please be creative!
Also, if you have an idea for a logo that doesn't incorporate a person 'spinning,' please send it, as i will have an open mind with all logos. Maybe, a simple, catchy design that has no wording might work. All work is welcomed and will be seriously considered.

Sudoku is a VDR plugin to generate and solve Number Place puzzles, so called Sudokus.
A Sudoku puzzle consists of 9 x 9 cells subdivided into 9 regions with 3 x 3 cells. The rules are simple. There have to be the numbers from 1 to 9 in every row, column and region. In the beginning some numbers are given. These cells are painted with cyan background color. The aim of the puzzle is to find the missing numbers. There is only one solution of a Sudoku puzzle.
The Sudoku puzzles are generated on-the-fly. The number of givens can be set in the plugin's setup page down to a minimum of 26 givens. The generation of puzzles with less than 26 givens takes too long. By default the cells with givens are symmetrically ordered. But this can be changed in the setup.
To solve difficult Sudoku puzzles some hints can be used. Incorrect cells are red and cells with ambiguous numbers are magenta. These hints can be disabled in the setup. With the green key a cell can be marked. A marked cell has green background color. With the yellow key the cursor is moved to the next free cell with minimal possible numbers. The red key set the next possible number for the current cell.
Each time the plugin is started from the main menu the same puzzle is shown. A new puzzle is only generated on VDR startup or if it has been requested by pressing the blue key. This key has two functions. If no numbers are set a new puzzle is generated. Otherwise all numbers are reset so that only the givens are shown.

The JourneyBee Travel Crib changes from a nearly flat 32-inch-diameter half-disc into a 60-inch-long by 41-inch-wide by 24-inch-tall lightweight crib/playpen with the release of a strap. (Clear the immediate area of kids before you unleash this thing.)
A built-in nylon framework pops up and out. Lay in the included 1-inch-thick mattress and fleece sheet, both of which fasten to the crib bottom with via Velcro tabs, then plunk the little one in.
Mesh side panels let you see what junior is up to. (An inch-thick mattress isn't much cushioning, but do not substitute your own, because this could be a safety hazard.)
Getting the JourneyBee back into flat-disk mode for storage may take some practice with hands-knees coordination, but the manual shows step-by-step drawings.

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- The mass trial of a third round of detainees arrested in the aftermath of Iran's disputed presidential election began on Sunday.
Hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets in protest after the June 12 presidential election.
Prosecutors read out charges against more than two dozen detainees who are being tried in the Revolutionary Court.
The defendants are among more than 1,000 people arrested after the government cracked down on days of street protests following the June 12 election.
Iran's election authority declared incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the overwhelming winner of the race. Opposition supporters accused the government of fraud.
Authorities arrested reformist politicians, lawyers and journalists and accused them of attempting to overturn government leadership.
Among the defendants who have been on trial this month are Seyyed Mohammad Abtahi, a former Iranian vice president; Maziar Bahari, an Iranian-Canadian reporter for Newsweek magazine; and Kian Tajbakhsh, an Iranian-American scholar.

Put the meat in a large bowl and mix together with your hands. Add a good pinch of kosher salt, the chile flakes, fennel seeds, cayenne, breadcrumbs, and Parmesan. Mix to blend and then form the meat into small 2-inch patties.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, shut off the heat to avoid splattering, and add the meat patties in a single layer in the pan. Take care they are spread somewhat apart so they have a chance to brown instead of steam. Put the heat back on high and brown them, turning them so they brown all around, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Touch them to make sure they are still tender and somewhat yielding in the center. Use a slotted spoon or spatula to remove them from the pan. Transfer the patties to a platter or individual plates.
Use a kitchen towel to wipe clean the skillet, put the heat on medium, and add the butter. When it begins to brown, crack 2 eggs, a distance apart, into the butter. Lower the heat, season the eggs lightly with salt, and cook 2 to 3 minutes or longer, if desired. Repeat with additional eggs. Put the eggs on the patties and serve immediately.

Seven No-No's That Will Surely Trigger An IRS Audit
Taxes are due one week from today, on Monday, April 18th. Before you file, here are seven things you shouldn't even THINK about deducting.
#1) Your Landline Telephone. Even if you only use it for work, the IRS says the first hard-wired phone in your home is always considered a personal expense. But you CAN deduct long distance calls as long as they're business-related.
–And if you install a second landline that's specifically for work, you can deduct the whole thing.
#2) Commuting Costs. It's tempting, because gas is so expensive now. But the cost of getting to and from work is never deductible.
–However, if you work at more than one location during the day, you CAN deduct the money you spend getting from one job to the other.
#3) Your Pet. Believe it or not, people still try to claim their pets as dependents (unsure what number you would put under "Social Security.".
–But the only time you can deduct costs associated with your pet is if it's a Seeing Eye dog, or you need it for some other medically valid reason . . . like a helper monkey.
#4) Plastic Surgery. You can only deduct it on your taxes if it's medically prescribed. For example, if your doctor tells you to get a nose job to treat a respiratory issue, you CAN deduct it on your taxes.
–But if you just wanted fewer chins, you can't.
#5) Dry Cleaning. You can only deduct dry cleaning costs for a uniform you're required to wear to work. A suit and tie don't count because you could also wear them when you're not working.
#6) Time You Spend Volunteering. If you skip a day of work to go and volunteer, you can't write off the money you would have made. Yes, some people do try.
–What you CAN do is deduct OTHER costs associated with your charity work, like unreimbursed expenses. And you can also deduct your mileage at a rate of 14 cents per mile if you have to drive to get there.
#7) Over-the-Counter Medication. You can only deduct it as a medical expense if it's prescribed by your doctor. But you CAN deduct some over-the-counter tests, including pregnancy tests, and blood sugar tests if you're diabetic.
–And new moms can also deduct supplies used for breastfeeding, including bottles and pumps.

In World of Warcraft, a cooking fire is any fire that can be used to make cooked food for the Cooking profession.
Most villages and towns have a campfire, a stove, a brazier, or a fireplace, which all count as cooking fires. Most cooks simply visit one of these places to do their cooking.
If a cook is out in the wild, he or she can use the [Basic Campfire] ability to make a cooking fire.
Stat gains Edit
- Cozy Fire - 4 Spirit for 60 secs (stat repeats after 60 secs if character is near the fire).
- Slight cooking skill increase (it is possible to level cooking up to level 75 by creating fires).[citation needed]

The Haunting in Connecticut – Fact or Fiction?
April 10, 2009 in Best Of, Movie Reviews, Paranormal by pacejmiller
Yesterday I watched the 'based on the true story' film The Haunting in Connecticut.
First, a short review
To be honest, despite the poor reviews the film was received, it wasn't all that bad. It was just average, and for a supernatural horror film, 'average' is pretty good these days. In my opinion, it was one of those rare horror films that actually got better as it progressed. In the first half or so, the attempted scares were your stock standard 'boo' moments and the bloody, visceral shocks you'd expect to see in any regular PG-13 horror. I don't know why, but for some reason I found myself actually frightened a few times in the second half, and that's a rarity for me nowadays. I even forgot how insanely and ridiculously stupid and non-sensical (even within the confines of the film's own logic) everything was. And for that, 3 out of 5 stars!
Fact or Fiction?
After I got home, I started wondering just how much of the film was really 'based' on the true story? Was it even a true story to begin with? Which characters existed and what parts of the film actually happened in real life?
And so I turned to the trusty old Internets for some answers. The results were…interesting.
The film is 'based' on supposedly true events that happened to the Snedeker family in 1986 when they moved into a house that turned out to be a former funeral home. Naturally, spooky stuff started happening. Their oldest son, who was 13 at the time and being treated for Hodgkin's disease (the 'Matt Campbell' character from the movie) started behaving strangely and their 17-year old niece said she was fondled by unseen hands. The mother, Carmen Snedeker (the 'Sarah Campbell' character from the movie), also claimed to be the victim of demonic sexual assaults. There were many other alleged disturbances (such as water to blood, putrid odours, crucifixes going haywire or disappearing etc) but these were the most serious.
Eventually, Carmen Snedeker brought in Ed and Lorraine Warren, the infamous old ghostbusting couple that covered the 'Amityville Horror' haunting. The Warren's nephew, John Zaffis, also joined in for observations. They became convinced that the house was haunted by demons. A Catholic priest was brought in and the spirits were exorcised, and things went back to normal after that. The Snedekers left two and a half years after they moved in.
With help from the Warrens, the Snedekers' story was first brought to light by the book In a Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting by Ray Garton, a horror fiction writer, and was also the subject of an episode of the TV show A Haunting titled A Haunting in Connecticut. From what I've read about the book and the TV show, both were incredibly frightening.
I wanted to know how credible the true story behind the movie was, so I dug a little further.
What John Zaffis said
John Zaffis is the nephew of the Warrens that were brought in by the Snedeker's for help. Here is the full article he wrote about the Snedekers and their funeral home house.
In short, he discusses some of the background and events detailed in In a Dark Place and talks about his own experiences in the house. Here's an extract:
This is the case where I had my first encounter with a full formed demon and it is something to this day that I will never forget. I was sitting at the dining room table when it started to get ice cold in the room, at this point I knew something was getting ready to happen. I tried to get the other researchers or family members to respond to me by calling out to them but they did not. I knew at this point this was meant for me to experience alone. I had gotten up and walked into the hallway and looked up at the top of the stairs, I began to smell something like rotting meat which was all over this area and it was unbearable. As I continued to look up the grand staircase, I started to see something begin to form, as it slowly descended down the staircase. It was the ugliest thing I had ever seen, it had come to the last step on the staircase and it said to me "do you know what they did to us, do you know"? That was enough for me, I left the home and did not return for three days. I do not think I've ever encountered anything that has scared me as bad as that, I would not speak to anyone for days after the encounter, but I did go back to work on the case, the family needed our help.
Sounds pretty scary, right?
What Chip Coffey said
Chip Coffey is a self-proclaimed 'psychic, medium, spiritual counselor and paranormal investigator' who became involved with the Snedekers when the TV show was made. Here's his blogger site.
Coffey also wrote an article about the haunting in Connecticut titled 'Demons from the dark' which mirrored a lot of the things said in Zaffis's article. Here it is anyway.
Carmen Snedeker's website
Carmen Snedeker is still around and she has her own website, which was surprisingly difficult to find. Follow this link to visit the page.
I must say, had I only seen Zaffis's and Coffey's articles, I would have found it all pretty convincing (maybe not convinced, but it would have been convincing). But Carmen's website smells funny – from the smiling 'star-shot' portrait to the shameless promotion of herself, advertising for supernatural investigators (including Zaffis), her touring lectures about the hauntings and (here's the clincher) the brand new book on the haunting she is working on with Zaffis and Coffey! Now they don't sound so convincing anymore.
Carmen also mentions the feature film, which she believes "will bring a new understanding of what went on in the house". Clearly she had no idea of what the Hollywood producers had in mind.
From Carmen's website, the Snedekers' story began to completely fall apart.
What Garton said about his own book
From first publication of In a Dark Place, author Ray Garton has been savaging his own 'non-fiction' book and the Warrens. I've found numerous examples of him condeming what he wrote as, effectively, made up. By him. Fiction.
Probably the most complete account comes from his interview at Horror Bound Magazine (see entire interview here – worth a read because it's quite funny and interesting – and has some good advice for aspiring writers at the end):
A little aside here. Back when I was reading about the Warrens, they were ghost hunters. Every house they investigated had at least one ghost, and there was always a spooky story behind it. But after The Exorcist was so wildly popular, first as a novel and then as a movie, Ed and Lorraine stopped encountering ghosts and began to uncover demon infestations. And it seems that wherever they went, people were being sexually molested by demons. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Carmen Snedeker was an unemployed wife and mother who was running an illegal interstate lottery business, about which she asked me numerous times to tell no one. I never met the son, who was said to be ill, although I was allowed to talk to him on the phone once, supervised by Carmen. When the boy began to talk about drugs and told me that he didn't hear and see strange things in the house once he began taking medication, Carmen ended the conversation. As I gathered all the necessary information for the book, I found that the accounts of the individual Snedekers didn't quite mesh. They just couldn't keep their stories straight. I went to Ed with this problem. "Oh, they're crazy," he said. "Everybody who comes to us is crazy. Otherwise why would they come to us? You've got some of the story – just use what works and make the rest up. And make it scary. You write scary books, right? That's why we hired you. So just make it up and make it scary." I didn't like that one bit. But by then, I'd signed the contract and there was no going back. I did as Ed instructed – I used what I could, made up the rest, and tried to make it as scary as I could. The book was called In A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting.
As soon as it was published, I started telling my story, knowing full well that it would not be too popular with the Snedekers or the Warrens. I was right. Carmen Snedeker, now Carmen Reed, has denounced the book. She claims they had little involvement in it, which is a lie. Since the release of that book, the Discovery Channel has aired a "re-enactment" of the story called A Haunting in Connecticut, which, of course, presents the Snedekers' story as hard cold fact. Now a feature film based on the story is going to be released soon called The Haunting in Connecticut. I suspect the movie will begin with the words "Based on a true story." Be warned: Just about anything that begins with any variation of this phrase is trying a little too hard to convince you of something that probably isn't true. Last I heard, Carmen is working on a new book, to tell the real story – apparently they've settled on one. I don't know if Carmen runs her little interstate lottery operation anymore, but now she's claiming to be some kind of psychic healer. She says she's always been a psychic healer, although I didn't hear anything about it in Connecticut back in the early '90s.
These days, John Zaffis is the "investigator" being used to make this cockamamie tale look like something remotely resembling legitimate. Zaffis is the nephew of Ed and Lorraine Warren. He was around back when I was working on the book. He didn't do much, just stood around. Lorraine told me he was learning the business. He told me a story about something he saw in the former funeral home – some kind of "fully formed demon," or some such nonsense.
During my stay in Connecticut, Ed, Lorraine, and Zaffis repeatedly told me they had videotape of supernatural activity they'd shot in the demon-infested former funeral home (which I never visited because the current owners claimed the Snedekers were full of it and wanted nothing to do with the Warrens' little dog and pony show). They assured me I would see that footage. Throughout my visit, they kept telling me the videotape was coming, that they were having trouble finding it, but they'd show it to me. By the end of my visit, there had been no sign of any videotape. After my experience with the Warrens, I talked to a couple of other writers who'd written books for Ed and Lorraine – and their stories were nearly identical to mine.
I found another message board thread on dejanews where Garton posted, and he had the following things to say about the Warrens:
I spent several days with the Warrens during that time. I spent time with them in their home and ate with them and went on long drives with them. Of the two, Lorraine is the sanest. She's an "enabler". Years ago, before their career in the "supernatural" began, Ed suffered from mental illness. It was bad enough to keep him from working, and the only way he could make money was to hand paint haunted houses on dinnerplates and sell them door to door. Once Ed decided that Lorraine was "psychic", selling the haunted house plates eventually led to "investigating" haunted houses. At first, they found "ghosts". But after the tremendous success of THE EXORCIST — both the novel and the movie — ghosts suddenly became demons. If you go back and trace their career, you can see the sudden change. Almost overnight, all ghosts were really demons trying to possess residents, and sooner or later, the demons anally raped someone. It never fails, every damned time, the Warrens' demons bend somebody over a bed or a sink and beat down the back door, if you know what I mean. From my time spent with the Warrens, I learned from Ed that their job is not really to "investigate" so much as it is to take the stories told by these families — most of whom are dealing with REAL problems like alcoholism, drug addiction, mental illness, and/or domestic abuse, problems that are buried by their supernatural fantasies, which are supported and made tangible by the very eager Warrens — and arrange them into a saleable package that will make a good book, and hopefully a movie.

On the SitePoint PHP blog today there's a new tutorial walking you through a new feature of PHP 5.5 that can help you create more secure password hashes easily - the Password Hashing API.
Using bcrypt is the currently accepted best practice for hashing passwords, but a large number of developers still use older and weaker algorithms like MD5 and SHA1. Some developers don't even use a salt while hashing. The new hashing API in PHP 5.5 aims to draw attention towards bcrypt while hiding its complexity. In this article I'll cover the basics of using PHP's new hashing API.
He starts by introducing the functions involved to create, verify get general information and see if the hash needs to be regenerated. For each function he provides a summary of what it does and some sample code putting it to use. If you haven't upgrade to PHP 5.5 yet and still want to use it, consider adding this library to your application. It provides the same interface, just in a "userland" implementation.

We had dinner last night with his best friend from childhood. These two grew up together in a small town, attended college together in Murfreesboro where they played in bands they say no one listened to, and they both remained in Nashville to work in the music business.
They share an inside language of family, music, friends, exes (girlfriends, band members), trips they've taken, dumb things they've done, gossip, gin and sometimes work.
This childhood friend's wife is a photographer – quite exceptional with portraiture – and she pulled out some prints she's made of the two of them, and others in their friend group, from seven or eight years back. This is before I knew him and his circle, when I was married to someone else.
I was afraid of what they might think if I did what I wanted to do, which was inspect and dissect every pixel of his portrait, so I said a polite, "Great photo!" or whatever, and left it at that. But it was beyond a great photo. This is what I saw:
I saw a classically handsome man of 35 or 36, with hyper-animated, expressive eyebrows, a half-smiling snarl in one corner of his mouth, subtly but suggestively jutting hip, black suit. If his friends read this, they'll tease him, but he looked to me like a celebrity, like if I had seen him out somewhere at that period of my life, I would have intentionally ignored him so I didn't look like I was staring.
In that photograph, I saw a man a few years younger, cockier, and perhaps even freer than he is now. I saw a man who had already known for a long time how beautiful and sensitive Chris Bell's music is, who had already read "A Prayer for Owen Meany" 900 times, and who had given copies of that novel and "I Am The Cosmos" to plenty of other creative, sensitive brunettes.
Knowing someone intimately does not necessarily mean you know the details of their life before you were in it. Sometimes those things reveal themselves in conversations with old friends, in photographs, in the context of someone else's circumstances, or seemingly from nowhere but fate.
Sometimes mystery is best.
I looked at that photograph of him for but a few seconds, felt jealous that I wasn't in it, then almost as quickly felt the sort of crush I'd felt when we met, when every little thing about him was new.
He will always have years that are not mine, things about him I don't know. That is wildly sexy, and I hope someone has taken photographs of those moments he was awesome, long before he met me.

We all love geocaching but I more so I think. I'd love to hear back from other cachers in the area and get to know who is out there. Perhaps plan an outing here and there to go snag up those caches.

Santa Monica may bar Nativity and other seasonal displays in public spaces, a federal judge tentatively ruled Monday.
In a case that has drawn national attention, Judge Audrey B. Collins of U.S. District Court in Los Angeles denied a church coalition's request that the court require the city to allow Nativity scenes to be displayed in Palisades Park this year, as it has for nearly 60 years.
"The atheists won on this," said William J. Becker Jr., an attorney for the Santa Monica Nativity Scenes Committee, a coalition of 13 churches and the Santa Monica Police Officers Assn. Standing in front of TV news cameras outside the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building, Becker predicted that the court on Dec. 3 would also grant the city's request that his group's lawsuit be dismissed.
PHOTOS: Battle over Christmas displays
That likely outcome, he said, marked "the erosion of 1st Amendment liberty for religious speech." He compared the city to Pontius Pilate, the judge at Jesus' trial, saying: "It's a shame about Christmas. Pontius Pilate was exactly the same kind of administrator."

The answer is not really found through a website but you can start to understand Yin Yoga by watching this short video: An Introduction To Yin Yoga. The video is just the beginning of the answer - to really understand Yin Yoga, or any form of yoga, one must experience it.

Inside you will find a complete online book (YinSights) describing the history and benefits of Yin Yoga, how to do the practice, explanations of the most common postures (asanas), through both video presentations and written descriptions, and even YouTube playlists that can guide you through several complete Yin Yoga practices. You will also find links to more elegant video resources that can give you a deeper taste of Yin Yoga and a Teacher Directory with listings of Yin Yoga teachers all around the world. And if you still have questions after all this, there is a Forum where you can ask questions about yoga in general or about Yin Yoga specifically.
The purpose of this site is to help the interested student start her own journey of discovery, while providing some help to the many who are already deep into the practice.

Matt Smith is keen to expand Doctor Who's universe — by crossing over with some of America's best television programs. Talking to Den of Geek, he explains which TV shows he'd like to see Who cross over with, and how it could happen:
I want the Doctor to meet Heisenberg from Breaking Bad. It's amazing, he'd just go "You're a badass, man. I'm gonna make you good, I'm going to bring you back to my side; it's going to be alright dude, don't worry." I just think Bryan Cranston's incredible. I mean, there's loads of shows... Imagine if the Doctor turned up with all the zombies in The Walking Dead! He'd be like "Guys! Don't worry about it, we'll figure this out, okay... Also, can't show any blood, so can we just chill out on the eating?" He'd definitely strike up a conversation with one of the zombies, he wouldn't just shoot them; and that's the great thing about the Doctor - he'd get them talking.
Also worth reading in there: Smith's response to the 1996 Paul McGann TV movie. [Den of Geek]

Nov. 25, 2006
The Lipscomb Lady Bisons played from behind most of the game, but they took the lead and kept it when it counted as they beat Austin Peay 56-55 in the first round of the 22nd annual Lady Tiger Classic Friday night in Memphis.
The Lady Bisons, 2-2, will face host Memphis, 1-5, Saturday afternoon at 5 in the championship game. Memphis won 90-86 over Central Arkansas, 1-4, in the first game Friday night at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse.
The Lady Bisons got a go-ahead jump shot from Rachel Davis with nine seconds left to take the 56-55 lead. Lipscomb point guard Catie Woods took control of an Austin Peay turnover near the buzzer to ice the win.
"Rachel did a little spin to change direction and get open," Lipscomb coach Frank Bennett said. "She was at point blank range from about three feet out. She shot it off of the glass.
"Rachel has practiced better this fall than she has played. In practice she is always scoring over taller players. Against Austin Peay she really pushed her game up a notch. She was taking the ball to the basket and shooting over players who were 6-foot-2 and 6-3."
The Lady Bisons still needed one more big play to seal the game and Woods supplied that.
"When Austin Peay came down court we wanted to let them run some time off the clock," Bennett said. "They made a mistake on the dribble and Catie dove on it and held it until the buzzer went off."
Senior center Penny Jones led the Lady Bisons in scoring with 12 points, including an 8-of-8 performance from the free throw line. Jones also pulled down a game-high nine rebounds. Julie Martin added 11 points.
"Penny did a good job of facing up and shooting," Bennett said. "She was quicker to the basket than the player who was guarding her."
The Lady Bisons hit only 15-of-52 shots from the field, but were 20-of-24 in the free throw line. They shot only 21 percent from the field in the first half, but Bennett was encouraged that despite that shooting performance they were only down 30-22 at the half.
"We really shot poorly in the first half," Bennett said. "I told our team at the half that if we kept on playing solid defense, attacked the basket on offense and took care of the ball we could win."
Bennett credits the Lady Bisons for their perseverance. They gave up their lead at 12-11 with 12:43 left in the first half. Austin Peay's biggest second half lead was nine points at 38-29 with 14:59 left to play.
With 3:25 left on the clock the Lady Bisons went on a 5-0 run to tie the game at 54-54 with 1:19 remaining on shot by Jones. With 31 seconds left Austin Peay's Jacki Goetzke hit the first of two free throws for a 55-54 lead setting the stage for the shot by Davis.
"We would cut the lead to three points and they would pull back ahead by six," Bennett said. "It's hard to always be playing from behind. Our players really showed a lot of character by staying with it until we had the surge at the end."
Defensively, they kept Austin Peay off of the line, committing only 11 fouls for the game. Austin Peay was 2-of-4 in free throws, but hit 23-of-51 from the field for 45.1 percent.
Austin Peay placed three players in double figures. Amber Bacon scored a game-high 15. Kellea Reeves added 12 and Goetzke chipped in with 10.
"Our goal every game is to not make silly fouls," Bennett said. "We don't always do that. But we always have the goal of no fouls."
Two other key stats for the Lady Bisons were their 36-33 rebounding advantage and their 14 turnovers, the lowest total of the season.
"I told our team after the game that this is the kind of team we are," Bennett said. "The way we executed, the way we made defensive stops, the way we were patient in working for our shots and the way we took care of the ball were the way we are as a team.
"This was not a fluke. This is the most solid game we have played this season. We have to believe this is us."
Last season the Lady Bisons watched a big lead disappear as they lost to Memphis 76-74 at Allen Arena on Nov. 29, 2005.
Bennett is looking forward to the re-match.
"This is going to be a tough game," Bennett said. "We left the gym at 11 p.m. so it is going to be a quick turnaround for us.
"I watched Memphis in the first half. It looks like they can shoot the long ball. Last year we had a big lead and we let it get away when Catie Woods left the game. We feel like they took that one from us. We owe ourselves this one."
The win ended a four-game winning streak for Austin Peay against the Lady Bisons. It was the third straight loss on a neutral court for Austin Peay, which fell to 1-3 on the season.

WEDNESDAY, May 29, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Depression and behavioral problems are common among children and teens with a type of epilepsy known as temporal lobe epilepsy, according to a new study.
Seizures involving the temporal lobe of the brain are associated with significant psychiatric problems, the researchers found. Because of this, psychiatric evaluations are important for children with epilepsy, especially those who don't respond to anti-seizure medications and need surgery for their condition, the study authors pointed out in the report published online this month in the journal Epilepsia.
"Our research examined whether psychiatric illness was more prominent in children who were unresponsive to anti-seizure medications and had seizures in the temporal lobe versus elsewhere in the brain," study lead author, Dr. Jay Salpekar of Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., said in a journal news release.
"In children who do not respond to drug therapy, epilepsy surgery may be the only option to improve their quality of life. Understanding the pediatric patients' mental health status is important, as the severity of psychiatric illness may impact the overall risk-benefit of epilepsy surgery," he explained.
The study involved 40 children with epilepsy who did not respond to anti-seizure medications. All of the participants, aged 6 to 17, were given psychiatric evaluations before surgery. Their parents also completed a child behavioral questionnaire. In reviewing the children's case records, the researchers found the study participants had significantly more psychiatric and behavioral problems than what is usually reported in children with chronic epilepsy.
Nearly 80 percent of the children suffered from significant psychiatric symptoms, compared to the 20 to 40 percent prevalence of mental illness generally found in cases of children with chronic epilepsy. The children whose seizures were specific to the temporal lobe were more likely to be depressed and have more serious behavioral issues than kids who had seizures in other parts of the brain, the researchers noted.
"Given that psychiatric illness, particularly depression, is so prominent in those with temporal lobe seizures, routine psychiatric evaluation appears to be important not only for adults, but also for children and adolescents prior to epilepsy surgery," Salpekar said in the news release. "In fact, it may be beneficial for most patients [who don't respond to medication] to have a psychiatric assessment, regardless of seizure localization, to improve quality of life."
Previous research has shown that up to 40 percent of children with epilepsy experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, attention issues and learning difficulties. Studies have also linked depression with temporal lobe seizures among adults who've had surgically treated epilepsy. The investigators added that more research is needed on the variables associated with mental illness symptoms in patients who've undergone surgery for epilepsy.

Hi guys,
I would like to present KiteRegs published in Poland a week ago.
Majority of Polish kitesurfing schools do their training according to IKO guidelines.
There is no kitesurfing organization or association in our country.
However our society tries to pay a lot of attention towards safety.
We felt that there is a lack of detailed information about rights of way and any kind of guide showing how to behaviour on the water in various cases.
This concern becomes more important with increasing amount of new kitesurfers. It took almost one year of interesting discussions on www.kiteforum.pl.
I spent hundreds hours surfing internet instead waves I hope it was worth it.
Finally we have been able to publish a booklet and a poster.
or in higher resolution:
http://www.britishkitesports.org/wp-con ... r_kspd.pdf
The idea is simple: we want to post special info boards (with KiteRegs' poster) among popular Polish spots and promote the KiteRegs as much as possible.
The book will be given to the trainees by schools. Some equipment dealers have already decided to attach the book to sold by them gear.
The KiteRegs are available on internet:
Rules were translated only in English due to a simple lack of time.
A poster which is enclosed to the book contains additionally German description of all drawings.
I would appreciate if you answer following questions:
1. What do you think about presented KiteRegs?
2. How do you like the project to promote KiteRegs?
3. Would you like to see a board with KiteRegs and additional info for observers on your spots?
4. Do you think is worth to translate it on other languages?
If anybody is interesting in this idea contact me on email@example.com.
