PHOTOS: Purity Ring, Young Magic @ House of Blues, Boston 1/30/13
Canada's Purity Ring stopped in Boston last Wednesday night for their second to last show of their Shrines tour. Due to a spike in ticket sales, the venue switched from the smaller more personal Paradise Rock Club to the larger more grandiose House of Blues. Young Magic opened for Purity RIng received a very positive crowd response. When it was time for Purity Ring to take the stage, lights started flickering different colors and the hanging lanterns started to glow. The set was full of sights and sounds that entranced the crowd, including light up drums and prop construction lights. This is a winning recipe for interesting concert photography. Fans new and old alike enjoyed the set and were even treated to a cover of "Grammy" by Soulja Boy.
After attending the concert one thing was clear, Boston loves Purity Ring. Read on for my photos and a few videos I shot at the show.

10 Questions to Ask Before Buying Event Management Software: Question #6
We work with a variety of customers from small to mid-sized businesses to global organizations with thousands and hundreds of thousands of employees. But each customer – no matter how large or small – has very similar questions when it comes to buying event technology. We brainstormed the top 10 questions that we believe smart companies should ask before buying event management software. In this blog, I'll spotlight the importance of each of the questions – and their answers – in a series of 10 posts.
Thanks for following this blog series. In our last post, we discussed how event management technology can make attendees happy. Here's another question you should ask before buying event management software: "How can event technology deepen my relationship with attendees?"
In an ACTIVE Network/Event Marketing Institute survey of 2012 event tech trends, 94% of meeting owners said their top event need was to improve the attendee experience. Meanwhile, 85% said expanding customer engagement was their top concern.
When considering event management software, ask yourself if it helps you increase your ties to attendees via:
- Social media that creates blogs and other communities and lets attendees view YouTube videos
- Mobile event app so attendees can view and schedule sessions, download agendas, view daily news updates, participate in goal-oriented business games
- Data and insights allowing you to personalize the event experience for your attendees
Read all 10 Questions Smart Companies Need to Ask before buying event management technology!

COATESVILLE -- High school swim teams from all over eastern Pennsylvania know that any time a team can take down Wilson Highs name from a pool record board, it is a major accomplishment.
Wilsons name has been in the 200-yard medley relay spot on the pool record board at Coatesville High since before the turn of the century. The Bulldogs posted a time of 1:40.72 in 1999 and the record stood for 14 years. On Friday, the Red Raiders erased it.
In a Ches-Mont League National Division meet against visiting Downingtown East Friday, Coatesvilles foursome of Drew Furcon, Logan Schul, Hunter Mountain and Nick Lucash finished first with a record time -- 1:40.08.
With its strong core of veterans, Coatesville cruised to 103-77 league win and improved to 4-0 in National Division competition. On the girls side, Downingtown East (1-4 league) used a combination of speed up top and depth to log a 113-73 victory.
We were looking at the 200 medley record going into the meet, said Schul, a senior. I swam breast in the medley. I split a 28.56 which is one of my better times.
Lucash, his senior classmate, said, I did freestyle in the medley relay and my split was 22.3. Ive gone a little faster but I was still happy with that time. Getting the record was awesome. Weve been on a roll with the relays.
Last week, the Red Raider foursome of Trevor Gordon, Lucash, Mountain and Schul set the pool record in the 200 free relay with a time of 1:28.11. At Fridays meet, the team of Tyler Brown, Gordon, Lucash and Schul took first at 1:31.76. Coatesville also took first in the 400 free relay at 3:20.52 with the team of Furcon, Brown, Gordon and Mountain.
Furcon, a freshman, and Mountain, a senior, were the meets only quadruplewinners. Furcon posted individual victories in the 200 IM at 2:04.57 and the 100 backstroke at 56.96 while Mountain swept the freestyle sprints with a time of 22.27 in the 50 and a clocking of 48.93 in the 100.
Back was a pretty good time, said Furcon. My turns felt really good and my stroke was at point. IM was a really good time too. All the strokes felt good and it was the first time I made district time.
Mountain said, Im getting there but theres still room for improvement. I was happier with my 50 free. I felt stronger in the water. The 100 was rough. Weve had a long week of training. By Friday, it all adds up. Still, my times were pretty decent for this point in the season.
Other individual race winners were Coatesvilles Gordon in the 500 free (5:00.55) and Downingtown Easts Quentin Cody in the 200 free (1:47.73), Conor Tunno in the 100 butterfly (55.32) and Mark Steffl in the 100 breaststroke (1:03.99).
I thought I could get him (Easts Quentin Cody, who was a close runner-up at 5:01.22), said Gordon. By the last turn, I had closed in on him. The final 25 yards was all adrenaline. I couldnt feel anything.
The host Red Raiders took first in both boys and girls diving. Savannah Madonna won the girls event with a personal best score of 181.05. Brandon Butler also set a personal best -- and qualified for the District 1 Class AAA Championships -- with a score of 197.45.
My best dives were my front double and my reverse double, said Butler, a senior. On the front double, I went in straight and felt confident. On the reverse double, I tucked tight, jumped high and jumped straight.
Coatesvilles girls (0-4 league) were only able to log two first-place finishes -- Jessie Jordan in the 50 free with a time of 26.12 and Cathy Hargraves in the 100 breaststroke with a clocking of 1:21.51.
I thought it was a really great race, said Hargraves, a speedy senior. Im actually surprised at myself. I was banging it out. As soon as I dove in, I felt like a torpedo ripping through the water.
Downingtown Easts top scorer was Peyton Haefner, who posted individual wins in the 100 fly at 1:04.04 and the 200 IM at 2:25.77. She also teamed with Chase Umberger, Lindsay Hogan and Maura Enderlein on the winning 200 medley relay and with Courtney Siverling, Lauren Possi-Moses and Carleigh Abromovitz on the first-place 400 free relay.
Ive been working on my strokes a lot and that was one of my best times ever in the 200 IM, said Haefner, a sophomore. Fly is my best event. My time today was close to a season best. Right now, Im just looking to make districts.
The Cougars triplewinners were Abromovitz (200 free, 500 free), Siverling (100 back, 200 free relay) and Umberger (100 free, 200 free relay).
I swam pretty well today, said Abromovitz. I think the 200 free was better. It didnt feel strong but it was a good time. Im happy with it. I swam the 500 well too. The second half felt the same as the first half.

HP Phone Home
HP Phone Home
As you will see if you read our news, Hewlett Packard, which everyone calls HP, was big this month. The computer giant announced some sweeping changes, including sweeping changes to undo the sweeping changes they announced a few months ago.
Sweeping changes are always part of the scene in an economic downturn, but I can't help thinking it is better to figure out what you want to do and sweep in one direction, rather than trying to sweep several ways at once.
As a cultural icon, HP predates the personal computer era. When I was a teenager, no one had a smartphone, but all the geeky kids had calculators, and HP calculators were the coolest and geekiest calculators of all. With their elegant design and distinctive reverse polish notation, they washed coolness back onto the owner. At once simple, yet inscrutable to the uninitiated, they were the iPhone of their era. But that was many years ago. HP's mystique didn't make the transition into the computer era.
Their printers had a solid reputation for a while, but HP was one of many computer vendors to wake up one day and discover that the PC hardware market just doesn't lend itself to mystical brand names. In today's world, people buy PCs the way they buy cans of corn and beans at the grocery – a vague memory of a logo lingers until around dinnertime, but no one has any real expectation that one particular logo leads to a significantly different experience.

I think Kristen Stewart has a lot to be happy about. Lots of money from her hit movie series, you might've heard of it; as far as we know a solid relationship with one of Hollywood's hottest dudes, and a darn cute look. So, why does Kristen always look so bored?
I wonder if it's a PR thing; maybe KStew's publicist told her to act like nothing is ever a big deal. She has definitely refined the art of looking underwhelmed.
Why do you think Kristen Stewart always looks so bored?

New Grants from NCRG "A benchmark study for monitoring exposure to new gambling," PI: Sarah Nelson, Ph.D. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is nearing an historic change to its legal gambling landscape. The expansion of legal gambling opportunities to include large resort style casinos presents a unique opportunity to learn about the short- and long-term ramifications of such expansion on public health. Because this period represents a natural experiment within Massachusetts, there is a limited window of opportunity to collect accurate baseline data. To determine how new gambling opportunities impact the public's gambling-related health, it is imperative to establish baseline estimates of gambling-related behaviors and health prior to the opening of new gambling venues and then track the changes in these individuals' health and behavior across time. This pilot project will survey the Massachusetts arm of an existing nationally representative online panel about their current gambling behaviors, problems, and attitudes, as well as other leisure behaviors, spending habits, substance use, and mental health to establish a benchmark for a future long-term longitudinal investigation of the effect of gambling expansion on public health. "Expanding the study of actual Internet gambling behavior: Exposure and adaptation with a newly opened market," PI: Heather Gray, Ph.D. In this work, the Division on Addiction will partner with researchers from Reykjavik University and the University of Iceland to conduct an analysis of actual Internet gambling records from a regional Internet gaming provider. We will use these records to conduct an epidemiological description of gamblers and gambling behavior; to describe the gambling behavior of most active gamblers; to describe the gambling behavior of gamblers identified as "high risk;" and to describe gamblers' adaptation to new gambling opportunities. Results from these studies will provide a more complete description of how people gamble online. New Grant from St. Francis House "St. Francis House Linking, Evaluation, Assessment, & Data (LEAD) System," PI: Sarah Nelson, Ph.D. The Division on Addiction continues its collaboration with St. Francis House, the largest day shelter in New England for homeless individuals, on the Linking, Evaluation, Assessment & Data System (LEAD). LEAD is a technological solution for conducting comprehensive assessments with St. Francis House guests, tracking their use of services and programs, and evaluating the impact of those programs and services. The Division has been working with SFH to develop and implement this comprehensive relational database system capable of tracking guests' paths through SFH programs and services, integrating assessment information from multiple programs/services and times, and generating output at the individual and aggregate level. The purpose of such a system is to assess how well SFH is providing integrated services, how specific services can be improved, and whether certain services can be targeted to certain guests. In addition, the LEAD system will improve the intake and data collection processes at SFH, making it easier for SFH employees to collect, maintain, integrate, and share information about their guests. New Grant from SAMHSA with the Duffy Health Center SAMHSA Cooperative Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals
Harvard/Duffy Health Center Partnership through SAMHSA - Heather Gray, Ph.D.
will be the project evaluator for a cooperative agreement recently awarded
by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to the
Duffy Health Center, Cape Cod's leading provider of services to homeless and
at risk individuals. The three-year project will increase access to
permanent housing for chronically homeless persons, using strategies and
interventions based on Duffy's successful integrated model of care that
includes outreach, benefits enrollment, case management, behavioral health
and primary care services and permanent supportive housing. Dr. Gray is
partnering with Duffy to evaluate outcomes related to best practices of
trauma-informed care, comprehensive case management, Motivational
Interviewing, and Housing First. Expected outcomes are to improve the
health, stability, and life functioning of the target populations; reduce
frequency and duration of emotional instability or relapse from substance
abuse; and increase housing stability. The Duffy Health Center was one of 20
agencies competing from across the country for the grant. New Multi-Year Grant with The Century Council to Reduce Repeat DUI by Developing a Computerized Assessment and Referral System (CARS) New research has identified that repeat DUI offenders often suffer from a number of psychiatric disorders (e.g., Shaffer et al., 2007), suggesting that untreated mental health issues contribute to the persisting rate of DUI. To combat this pressing public health problem and to build a foundation for expanded treatment, the Division of Addiction, with support from The Century Council, has begun work to develop and test a computerized clinical report generator tool, the Computerized Assessment and Referral System (CARS), for use in DUI intervention and treatment settings. CARS will package a powerful mental health assessment tool, the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI: Kessler & Ustun, 2004) with a user-friendly interface, increased flexibility, and immediate personalized output, to create a tool that can be used easily by DUI facility staff to screen DUI offenders and target interventions to address comorbid mental health issues. Dr. Ronald Kessler, Professor of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School, co-director of the World Health Organization's World Mental Health Surveys, and an original developer of the CIDI, and his team are collaborating with the Division on the development of CARS.

Moving ahead: Evaluation of a work-skills training program for homeless adults This study examines the impact of a work-skills program grounded in an integrated services approach on both employment and related life domains among homeless individuals. Six hundred thirty-eight participants in a 14-week work-skills program at a large day center in New England completed assessments at intake between 1999 and 2007; a subsample of 333 also completed assessments at graduation from the program; a smaller subsample of 55 participants were re-assessed 6 months after graduation. These assessments measured work and related life skills, employment, housing status, general health status, substance use, self-esteem and self-efficacy, and legal involvement. Results revealed improvement in all types of work and related life skills, employment and income, and multiple other life domains from baseline to graduation and follow-up. Exploratory analyses suggested that improvements in work and related life skills were associated with improvement in self-esteem and self-efficacy, and that these improvements predicted stable housing situations at follow-up. Overall, these findings indicate that, for individuals struggling with the challenges of homelessness, completion of a work-skills program has a positive impact on skills and employment, and on a diverse set of life domains.

Behavioral characteristics of Internet gamblers who trigger corporate responsible gambling interventions We examined the electronic gambling records of subscribers (N = 2,066) who triggered a responsible gaming alert system at a large international online gaming company. We compared these cases with control subscribers (N = 2,066) who had the same amount of exposure to the Internet gambling service provider. Indices of the intensity of gambling activity (e.g., total number of bets made, number of bets per betting day) best distinguished cases from controls, particularly in the case of live-action sports betting. Control group players evidenced behavior similar to the population of players using this service. These results add to our understanding of behavioral markers for disordered Internet gambling and will aid in the development of behavior-based algorithms capable of predicting the presence and/or the onset of disordered Internet gambling.

News Update
Murder-suicide leaves two dead in Providence Village (UPDATE)
By Andrew Snyder,
Published: Monday, November 5, 2012 10:09 PM CST
Denton County Sheriff's deputies discovered the bodies of a man and woman who died from gunshot wounds in an apparent murder-suicide Monday in Providence Village, an incorporated community near Little Elm. The man is believed to be the shooter.
The names of the deceased are currently being withheld pending the notification of next of kin.
"The main thing I want to get out there is there's not a gunman on the loose or anything of that nature," said Larry Kish, Denton County Sherriff's Investigator, at the scene. "It does appear to be a murder-suicide situation."
The bodies were found in a house in the 10200 block of Lakeview Drive in Providence during a welfare check at about 2:15 p.m. prompted when the woman did not show up for a scheduled meeting Monday morning. The caller who alerted police of the woman's absence told them they had helped the woman move out of a domestic disturbance situation and that while her car was in the driveway, no one answered the door. The caller also said a neighbor heard "thumps" and a door slamming between 4 and 6 a.m. that morning.
The woman had a son who is staying with family members.
Providence resident Phil Johnson said he heard what sounded like gunshots around dawn coming from the direction of the home: "I heard two shots, then a pause and then a third shot. Then nothing after that."
Sherriff's deputies made entry into the home and found the bodies of the man and woman in a bedroom. The bodies were later transported to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's office for further investigation.
The sheriff's department had responded to a domestic disturbance call from the now-deceased woman on Saturday at 11:40 a.m. She told police she was trying to move out of the house but her boyfriend, who she lived with, was preventing her from entering the house to retrieve her belongings. The responding officers reported that no assault had occurred and that both parties had separated to stay with friends until a later date, a release from the sheriff's office stated.

Postpartum: First 6 Weeks After Childbirth
Recovery At Home
During the days and weeks after the delivery of your baby (postpartum period), your body will change as it returns to its nonpregnant condition. As with pregnancy changes, postpartum changes are different for every woman.
Physical changes after childbirth
The changes in your body may include sore muscles and bleeding.
- Contractions called Reference afterpains shrink the uterus for several days after childbirth. Shrinking of the uterus to its prepregnancy size may take 6 to 8 weeks.
- Sore muscles (especially in the arms, neck, or jaw) are common after childbirth. This is because of the hard work of labor. The soreness should go away in a few days.
- Reference Bleeding and vaginal discharge (lochia) may last for 2 to 4 weeks and can come and go for about 2 months.
- Vaginal soreness, including pain, discomfort, and numbness, is common after vaginal birth. Soreness may be worse if you had a Reference perineal tear or episiotomy.
- If you had a cesarean (C-section), you may have pain in your lower belly and may need pain medicine for 1 to 2 weeks.
- Reference Breast engorgement is common between the third and fourth days after delivery, when the breasts begin to fill with milk. This can cause discomfort and swelling. Placing ice packs on your breasts, taking a hot shower, or using warm compresses may relieve the discomfort. For more information, see the topic Reference Breast Engorgement.
Call your doctor if you are concerned about any of your symptoms. For more information, see Reference When to Call a Doctor.
Care after vaginal birth
Most women need some time after delivery to return to their normal activities. It's important to focus on your healing and on taking care of your body after delivery.
- Use pads instead of tampons for the bloody flow that may last as long as 2 weeks.
- Ease cramps or afterpains with ibuprofen (such as Advil). If the doctor gave you a prescription medicine for pain, take it as prescribed.
- If you have swelling or pain around the opening of your vagina, try using ice. You can put ice or a cold pack on the area for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Put a thin cloth between the ice and your skin.
- Cleanse yourself with a gentle squeeze of warm water from a bottle instead of wiping with toilet paper.
- Try sitting in a few inches of warm water (sitz bath) 3 times a day and after bowel movements.
- Ease the soreness of hemorrhoids and the area between your vagina and rectum with ice compresses or witch hazel pads.
- Ease constipation by drinking lots of fluid and eating high-fiber foods. Ask your doctor about over-the-counter stool softeners.
What to avoid
Give your body a chance to heal. Wait to start certain activities.
- Wait until you are healed (about 4 to 6 weeks) before you have sexual intercourse. Your doctor will tell you when it is okay to have sex.
- Try not to travel with your baby for 5 or 6 weeks. If you take a long car trip, make frequent stops to walk around and stretch.
- Do not rinse inside your vagina with fluids (douche).
Care after a C-section
If you had a C-section, you will need to take it easy while the incision heals.
- Avoid strenuous activities, such as bicycle riding, jogging, weight lifting, and aerobic exercise, for 6 weeks or until your doctor says it is okay.
- Until your doctor says it is okay, don't lift anything heavier than your baby.
- You may have some vaginal bleeding. Wear pads. Do not use tampons until your doctor says it is okay.
- Hold a pillow over your incision when you cough or take deep breaths. This will support your belly and decrease your pain.
- You may shower as usual. Pat the incision dry when you are done.
For more information, see the topic Reference Cesarean Section.

The Calhoun-Gordon County Library will use this week to focus on trying to get the community to sign up for library cards, according to library assistant manager Janice Burrell.
"We are encouraging people to sign up for library cards," explained Burrell. "This is a free service; we only charge if you lose your current card, and that's only $2."
This week, April 8-14, libraries across the nation will celebrate in their own ways.
National Library Week was first sponsored back in 1958 by the American Library Association (ALA), and is still going strong 54 years later.
This is also a time when academic libraries focus on April as School Library Month.
Tuesday, April 10, was celebrated as National Library Workers Day.
According to the Calhoun-Gordon County Library, this day is for library staff, users, administrators and friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers; Wednesday, April 11, is designated as National Bookmobile Day, a day when the contributions of our nation's bookmobiles and the dedicated professionals who make quality bookmobile outreach possible in their communities are recognized, and Thursday is Support Teen Literature Day, which is aimed at raising awareness among the general public that young adult literature is a vibrant, growing genre with much to offer today's teens.

Can i ask why people are calling for the unit cap to be removed from black guard? Is this just people wishing to field the like a horde and not the small combat elite units that they are?
Can i ask why people are calling for the unit cap to be removed from black guard? Is this just people wishing to field the like a horde and not the small combat elite units that they are?
8th edition doesn't have unit caps.
Spearmen with hatred at 8 pts with shields is about right. Possibly 8 pts without shields, 0.5 pts for the shield if GW feels like going that way (since the battalion is selling warriors without shields as an option).
RXB should go up a point or two.
Corsairs should be 9-10 pts.
Witches more expensive.
Hydra should be 220ish with no hatred on the monster, like in SoM.
Dragon and Manticore should be cheaper.
Cauldron with a lesser passive ability, and other bound spells.
Broken magic items all removed.
I'm not sure if i like the idea of the cauldron being on a chariot, even if that was its original configuration. i'd can see it swapping to a casket of souls type thing with 48" bound spells, possibly with boosted versions if they are cast on Khainite units.
I hope the Khainite theme is expanded on, the death hag's/assassins etc need to get access to 4+ wards as with step up and supporting attacks they just can't survive currently. I wonder if the disciple of khaine from W:AR might make and appearance. Could be nice
I can see 1-2 point rises across the board for the infantry units, with the cav coming down.
The mages need toning down, but also get a slight points reduction (empire lvl 4 got a 10point drop). limit casting to 6 dice and go back to +1 to cast. I can see a version of the sac dag and power of darkness becoming some kind of lore attribute/innate ability.
Obviously the rares need adjusting in both cases.
Does seem with the way things have been going some kind of monstrous unit will make it in.

Interesting ideas, death spasm looks a bit good though, esp if you hex strength before hand somehow.

My Custom Warhammer Army Book. WHFB Stygian - Last updated. 16.06.2013.
....and, as always.... thanks for reading.
It's a bit sad that 7th edition forced so much special rules creep onto the two elf armies that were released (and WE started the special rules creep back in 6th). 8th edition does a much better job of letting great statlines shine through. Obviously hatred makes DE better, but I think 8th edition is much more suited to having a successful book which looks more like the 6th edition DE book.
Cheap DE spearmen (let's say 7 pts with shield and no hatred).
Corsairs as an alternative core - better against shooting and offensively, but slightly more expensive. 9 pts, SDC is the only special rule.
Witch elves and executioners as cheap elites throwing out either lots of low strength poison, or high strength killing blow attacks (10ish pts each).
Black guard with stubborn, and warrior elite. Don't need the second attack tacked on. 12-13 pts.
The problem with the 6th edition elf books was that good stats but low survivability didn't work in 6th edition (or 7th), and the fact that the elves overpaid for soft stats (WS and I) was silly. 8th corrects that at the core IMO. You'd almost have to release HE and DE back to back to make a change like this, since they're always viewed in comparison to each other.
They're only small units at the moment because of the unit cap which prevents them from being a horde.
Also unit caps are gone from 8th edition so it's natural for them to be removed in the next dark elf book.
Also they aren't very survivable being To3 with a measly 5+ save so people would like to take bigger units so they can survive getting hit by spells/shooting without having the unit get crippled completely.
I d like to see hatred removed from the army except on characters and bestowed by either the cauldron or a disciple of khaine. I would add an army special rule that allows DE to reroll failed to.wound rolls called something like savagery or cruelty.
DE spearman at 8pts. Corsairs at 10. New characters. All the new crap that comes w 8th
Hatred is actually not that big of a game breaker, in the age of steadfast and deathstarhammer. The army mainly needs slight alterations to point costs and certain magic items reworked and/or removed, but it has to be done on a case by case basis, as the DE book's balance issues are systemic and multiple. Here is where I would begin:
Magic Phase-
Allow DE wizards to cast with 7 Dice, but no more. Power of Darkness should be a default spell for Lore of Darkness, not available to all DE wizards.
Magic Items-
Ring of Hotek- Raise it to 35 points to prevent it from being carried by a unit champ or easily defended peg hero.
Pendant of Kaeleth- If they keep it, change it to an Arcane Item so its a difficult choice to take.
Sacrificial Dagger- Sacrifice a model to reroll the entire casting roll, once per magic phase only.
Move Assasins back to the hero slot.
Witch characters and Assasins be allowed to select gear (other than armor) and gifts with 50 of each, ala vamp heros.
Core Infantry-
Price down Corsairs to 8 per model and remove the Sea Serpent banner from the game.
Spearmen- Allow for a HW and shield option with warriors and make them 8 per model.
Harpies- Move to special
Witches- Move to core and price at 11 per model. (see cauldron changes to understand justification)
Crossbowmen- Raise cost one point per model.
Cold One Knights- Price them down to 25 per model.
Black Guard- Remove unit cap, but raise cost to 15 per model.
Executioners- Either make them WS5 or drop the points to 11 per model. (see cauldron)
Shades- Unit size 10-15 and do not allow assasins to be hidden in the unit.
Chariots- Fine as is.
Bolt Throwers- Reduce cost to 75 per model and dump the 2/1 choice.
War Hydra- Change Handler rules to bring it in line with the main rulebook, dump hatred on the beast, and increase its cost to 200.
Cauldron- Obviously move the Cauldron to rare, thereby removing its BSB option. Rather than select a buff, it should radiate frenzy to all units within 6" and a 5+ ward to all khainite units in the same radius, including itself. Reclassify it as a 3 wound war machine with T10 and drop the cost to 130. No more KB stubborn witches, no more death blender black guard, and it now has to stick close to the army to do its job.
Re Pendant of Kaeleth-
The reason I suggested making it arcane is that the main issue with the item currently is the unkillable Peg Lord of Infinite Cockblocking. I guess making it Enchanted might work (no crown and pendant on the same model), but I think having a lord level wizard with what amounts to a 2+ save should require sacrificing the option for the Dagger or scroll.
re Sacrifical Dagger-
I meant to imply that it would provide no bonus dice, just allow for rerolling one casting attempt per turn, letting you be a little more agressive with your dice pool by using less dice per cast or possibly negating a miscast.
I think most of this is fine. The 6" is a bit small for something that can't march in a normally offensive army. The only change I'd have would be to increase the radius.
While I think this is a good idea, I can't see this happening in the next book because it would cause a remake in the core plastics to be done. Normally this wouldn't be a big issue, but the Dark Elves have one of the largest metal infantry lines of all the books at the moment. Given that they'd need to be redone in plastic along with making whatever new they'd put into the book, I'm not sure there would be space for redoing the dark elf spearmen plastics.Spearmen- Allow for a HW and shield option with warriors and make them 8 per model.
Executioners should be great weapons in initiative order not ASL.
Black Guard should be capped at 25 instead of 20. Allowing slightly larger more playable units but not hordes.
Assassins should remain in the points allocation as they are - outside any existing categories.
Cold Ones to keep stupidity but in addition have frenzy.
One unit of Witch Elves to be core if you have a Death Hag.
One unit of Black Guard to be core if you have Malekith.
One unit of Cold One Knights to be core if you have Malus Darkblade.
Harpies to be improved, and moved to special, but core if you have Beastlord Rakarth in the army.
Improve harpies by giving them 3D6 random movement rule, and -1 to hit. Means no stand and shoot and less vulnerable to shooting.
Hydras to remain exactly as they are including points, or if there is a points increase to gain 3+ regeneration instead of 4+. Hatred to stay with Hydra. They know they are superior too.
Keep unlimited power dice but restrict to Dark Magic - this can work for you as well as against you.
Give Dark Elf casters one extra spell per level as standard.
Make focus familiar part of spell lore, ditch sacrificial dagger and power of darkness.
Merge some magic items - e.g. Armour of Darkness and Ring of Darkness.
Make Warpsword of Khaine something any Dark Elf Dreadlord can have, not just Malus, set at 65 points.
Bring Malekith down in points so he and dragon can feature in lower point games.
Allow Dark Elves to take Ogre Maneaters as mercenaries.

Got them mixed with Witched I guess heh. But they are still overpriced in their current form.
Emissary, I think the warriors come with hand weapon arms already, unless that was changed in the last round of reboxing. In fact I had to redo a bunch of mine when the last book hit the shelves.
And Druchii Monkey, no one is going to buff what is the single most powerul army in Warhammer. I would personally like to purchase a bag of whatever you are smoking, good sir, unless you are trolling, in which case you kind of jumped the shark a bit.
I think there's 1 hand weapon per 4 model in the warriors box (champ arm). If GW made that change, I think it would more likely come from the release of a new warriors box set, including crossbows, handweapons and spears as options.

About 3 years ago, I went to the Cat & Dogs home, and brought home two ferrets. They were brothers and about 2 years old. I named them Fidget and Gizmo. Fidget was the smallest of the two, but very lively hence his name.
Unfortunately, Fidget died suddenly Monday morning. He was right as rain on Friday, and there was nothing to say anything was wrong on Saturday. However, Sunday morning found him very cold lying on the bottom floor of their cage. They have always lived outside and have a 2 storey cage, which connects to a 6ft run.
I called my vet who advised trying to get him warm and syringe water into his mouth (Ferrets dehydrate rapidly). There were no symptons, no discharge or anything to indicate why he was dying. I separated them, putting Fidget into a smaller holding cage which I put into my hut which has a heater to warm it. Throughout Sunday and into the night, I checked him every hour, syringing water into his mouth, and cuddling him close to me with a blanket over us, to try and get warmth into him. He slept most of the time, and passed over about 3am Monday morning.
I cried and cried, and although I went to work, I had to come home early as I just could not think straight. I read as much as I could online about sudden death in ferrets, but none of the articles or pet advice lines gave me any clue. None of the symptons they cited appear to have been the cause of Fidget's death.
Later that day, I allowed his brother, Gizmo, to see his body, to touch him and hopefully, say his own farewell. I chose his grave space, and dug it deep, lining it with pine branches. Then I prepared my hut and placing Fidget in the centre, with a lit candle in the West, North and East, and incense in the South, consecrated and blessed him. Using a similar ritual to the one I used when my dog passed over, I asked that his spirit be carried to the Summerlands where he can enjoy the freedom of the fields and woods and have fun, until he is reborn again. I laid him to rest on the bed of pine branches, and covered him with a blanket of pine, then carefully covered him with earth.
At the moment, his brother, Gizmo, appears to be well and eating normally, however, the vet said that if I noticed anything different to bring him in straight away.
Doing the ritual also allowed me to say farewell and to weep at my loss, and to remember that the Cailleach comes in her own time to us all.
Farewell Fidget, your joyful spirit can now freely roam the nooks and crannies you so loved to investigate.

High Quality Verified Kratom IncenseWe specialize in a wide range of dried leaf Kratom incense, Kratom powdered incense, Kratom resin incenses, and (sometimes) live Kratom plants. Our Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is consistently high quality, sustainably harvested incense. We purchase all of our Mitragyna speciosa from within the USA. Both Rifat and BumbleBee Kratom Plants are shipping now! With SAME DAY SHIPPING of HIGH QUALITY products made to EXACTING STANDARDS, we guarantee our service is better and our prices are lower than anyone else, period. We didn't get to be #1 by accident; read our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee for more details. IMPORTANT: Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a plant that we offer as an exotic botanical incense. In short, for anything that has "Kratom" or "Mitragyna speciosa" listed on the label in any form is not intended for human or animal consumption. It's sold for use as an incense or for aromatherapy purposes only. |
The plant Mitragyna speciosa Korth is a tree who's natural habitat is in Thailand, with heavy forests in the central and southern regions of the country. The Mitragyna genus, part of the family Rubiaceae, is found in tropical and sub-tropical regions of Asia and Africa as well, and now, in India, at our farmland where we cultivate what we feel is the world's most interesting Kratom incense.
Curiously enough, Kratom is evergreen rather than deciduous, and leaves are constantly being shed and being replaced. During the dry season of the year leaf fall is more abundant, and new growth is definitely more plentiful during the rainy season. When grown outside their natural tropical habitat, leaf fall occurs with colder temperatures, although the leaves tend to be less potent than leaves intentionally harvested at peak times of the year. Kratom also prefers wet, humus-like soils in a protected position. Being a heavy feeder, it requires very rich, fertile soil. It is drought sensitive, and if grown out of its native habitat, sensitive to frost. Propagation is by very fresh seed or cuttings. There is a low strike rate, due to an endogenous fungus which attacks xylem tissue.
- If you prefer the original, go to IAmShaman Shop and their Kratom products pages.
As usual, don't hesitate to contact us via e-mail, live chat or phone with any and all of your Kratom incense related questions. We're passionate about Kratom incense in all forms, including the raw leaf and as a resin incense. We're passionate about what we do here, and we're truly not satisfied until you are.

I'm not much of a chef but I felt like a dork tonight when my aspiring chef son asked to help make dinner & I'm like first you cook the noodles, then you mix the butter, milk & powdered cheese together.
anyone have a yummy homemade mac & cheese recipe?
You are here
I do!!
I'll find it and post it up.
I usually add frozen brocoli with the mac&cheese, and 3 slices of american cheese. SOOOO yummy.
make some pasta, elbow macaroni works well.
In a pot, put milk, a pad of butter, a bit of salt and pepper. Turn on the heat to warm the mixture. Throw in 3 (or 4 or 5, as much as you want really) slices of cheese. I typically use American, but some cheddars work and american and cheddar is good.
in a small container, mix some flour or cornstarch with water. Mix it with a fork until there are no chunks or lumps. The consistency should be very liquidy. If its thick and viscous like a dough, add more water until it looks like a drink rather than a batter.
Don't let the milk boil. When it is *almost* boiling, stirconstantly as you add the cornstarch/flour and water mixture slowly. Keep stirring or lumps will form! Pause in the pouring and let the mixture thicken a bit. Use your judgement in when it is thick enough for mac and cheese.
things with cornstarch will tend to thicken a lot more when they cool off too, so don't over cook it!
i'm off to make mac n' cheese for dinner now ;)
I used to make it from scratch ALOT with real cheddar.. but since now I've gotten somewhat lazy and my family didn't liek the fact that the cheese didn't stay creamy.. we use velvetta type cheese(oh god.. i hate even admitting that!)
I use Velveta too, is that bad?
Anyways, here is my recipe
Ingredients 1/2 lb cooked Macaroni
1/4 cup Margarine
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 cup Flour
1 3/4 cups Milk
8 oz of Velveta Cheese cubes
Instructions Melt Margarine, Salt and Pepper together. Slowly add flour into mix until smooth and bubbly, then take off the heat. Stir in Milk, boil for 1 min. Add macaroni to entire mix. Optional: Bake for 375 Deg for 30 Min.
I use Velveta too, is that bad?
Nope. I've literally made it with all sorts of random cheeses from the fridge. Its a good way to use up bits of cheese. basically, if the cheese is good tasting before you put it in the pot, it'll be fine when you take it out :-)
I just feel like Im taking the easy way out using Velvetta! But it tastes alot better and is faster and my family will actually eat it. Velvetta itself sorta grosses me out.. blah processed cheese in the non refridgerated aisle LOL! But ooh man does it make good nacho cheese sauce among other things (BTW.. also a fan of cheese in a can.. heh)
I use Velveta too, is that bad?Anyways, here is my recipe

if I cube some real cheese will it melt okay.
Yeah, it just may take a bit more time to melt in the pot. You miught want to slice it instead, just to speed things up. if that isn't an option, lower the temperature on the stove. This will give you more time before the milk starts to boil to let the cheese completely melt.
Macaroni -n- Cheese Casserole
Make macaroni and cheese as you normally would and then pour it in a casserole dish. Make sure you make enough mac and cheese to fill the dish.
Then crumble up some potato chips and cover the top of the macaroni and cheese. Place it in the oven at 350 degrees and cook until the chips start to show a very slight brown color on their edges. Then pull it out and it's done.
This always used to be a very popular dish in my family when I was growing up.
this recipe is my favourite.
Firstly, cook a few cups of elbow macaroni.
place the cooked macaroni in a large casserole dish.
preheat the oven.
put 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan and melt over stove. when butter is melted take off stove and mix in 4 tablespoons of plain flour. slowly add in a pint of milk. and by slowly, i really mean slowly, because it will go lumpy otherwise. just add in a small amount of milk at a time and mix it really well so its nice and smooth. a whisk is the best for this.
then put back on the stove and whisk until its nice and thick. take off the stove and add in a couple of handfuls of a grated cheese of your choice. whisk it in.
then pour over the cooked macaroni in the dish. mix them together well.
then grab another handful of grated cheese and sprinkle liberally over the top of the macaroni.
pop it in the oven until the cheese is melted and slightly brown.
soooo yummy!
