Original pencil drawing "Topiary Teapot"
About the Art
A pencil drawing coloured digitally, an elegant geisha enjoys the simple pleasure of her garden. The teapot topiary is also a fountain, you can see water pouring out of the spout and a sprinkler at the tippy top.. :)
The inspiration came through my parents, who have a topiary teapot and a topiary sugar bowl in their own backyard, the also told me of an amazing topiary garden they visited in Tassie recently.
Here is the "teapot topiary" in my parents' backyard, they are sculpting teapots and sugar bowls….there are lots of fun things in my mum and dad's garden !! Even the Cheshire Cat and Tinman have a spot in the sun there :)

Where will TSN turn after Onrait and O'Toole leave?
TSN SportsCentre anchors Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole are moving to Fox Sports One this summer, and that should have a substantial impact on the U.S. sports media landscape. Onrait and O'Toole are expected to be a crucial part of Fox's plans to develop an ESPN alternative. However, the implications of this move aren't only below the 49th parallel. The departure of Onrait and O'Toole will present TSN with a substantial hole to fill, and they'll have to be careful how they do it.

Project fairs are regional events hosted annually by Rotary districts worldwide to encourage international friendship and collaboration on international service projects. They provide an opportunity for Rotary clubs in the host districts to exhibit their projects, and for international visitors to meet local project coordinators to find an effort that matches their club's goals. Attendees convene for two to three days to share their interests or concerns, discuss ideas, and establish partnerships.
Hosting a project fair is a great way to meet Rotarians from around the world, promote club and district service efforts, and connect with international partners. Inviting Rotarians to see the exhibits allows for in-person discussions that can foster lifetime friendships and increase the likelihood that projects will gain support.
Schedule the fair at a convenient time taking into consideration official Rotary activities, seasons, and holidays. Remember that you will need to allow enough time between the invitation and event so that international attendees have adequate time to make travel arrangements.
Develop a program that is simple and provides sufficient time for Rotarians to meet and discuss their projects. The operating language of the fair should be that of the attendees. Below are some ideas to consider in developing the program.
If your club is interested in supporting an international service project, World Community Service effort, attending a project fair is a great place to learn about projects and start building relationships. As an attendee at a project fair you will have the chance to visit with Rotarians who will be exhibiting their projects at project booths. Before you depart and while at the fair you can take steps to ensure that you have a successful experience.
For more information on project fairs, e-mail RI staff.

A new idea for for mothers and grandmothers: composite orchid bouquet. Could use instead of a corsage, it is a small bouquet they carry. Very pretty with the wire and beaded leaf holder.
I am a sucker for pink tones! This bouquet includes roses, peonies and orchids in shades of white, cream, peach, pink and purple.
The pink bouquet shown in a vase, added to the centerpieces for the same wedding. Great way to add to your reception arrangements. Love the use of the rosette succulents in the centerpieces!
Close up of the succulents and roses. The beauty of succulents is you can pull them out of your arrangements after the wedding and plant them. They will grow and give you a great living reminder of your wedding.
This picture just doesn't do this white cascade bouquet justice. It was stunning! The base of the bouquet is composed of roses, gardenia, peonies, tuber roses and calla lilies. The cascade is jasmine, orchids and calla lilies. It was also dripping with strands of crystals. A real show stopper.
They also displayed buckets of flowers from the flower growers, highlighting the best of their seasonal flowers. I loved this bucket stuffed with proteas in shades of pink and yellow. Wouldn't this make a great wedding color palette?
From another grower, showing the various shapes and colors of succulents. Loved the tight rosettes in the center that are tipped in pink.
This was another of my favorite buckets. Full of gorgeous white/green orchids and pink/white anthuriums. The cattleya orchids in the center of the bucket were stunning, with their ruffly edges. Really inspirational.
Hope you enjoyed viewing these pictures. Please contact Country Bouquets Floral for a consult if you would like to discuss how you can incorporate any of these ideas into your wedding.

Keep Calm and Carry-On: Three Tools to Have to Make Carry-On Baggage EasierComments: 0Rating: 0 / 0
I'm sitting in the gate, worried about my carry-on bag. It looks as though it will make the flight, but it is the lifting into the overhead bin that scares me. Getting my carry-on bag onto the plane is more like weight training each and every flight. Packing that carry-on is a test in just how many items will get left behind for space just won't allow.

Yeah you might be right. To be honest I forgot about the Holo Field, and didn't take the charge distance into account.
You might want to re-write the Aspirant entry then. It says in their rules entry that they can't benefit from Conceal.

Hello again, thanks for working through my ideas, I love bouncing stuff around with like minded peeps.
ok here goes.
Im sticking to my guns on the GH he needs ws 7 and four attacks the masks do need something , or as I said before they should at least equal if not better the BA masks (I'm looking at you Dante') one idea I had was that on the first round of any combat one of the masks could cause the enemies in b2b take a ld check on 3d6 or they have to half their WS for that round ? just makes it harder for a few enemy models to hit the quins for one round ?
just a note but holo's are honestly worth less on light open topped skimmers than they would be on say a tank ? that 'opened topped' +1 plus the immobilized = destroyed rule on skimmers and lack of weapons to soak wep destroyed results means it won't make a huge difference,
I always thought holo's should give a cover save based on how fast the vehicle went eg. 0-6" 5+ 6-12" 4+ and 12-24" 3+ and using star engines would confer a further +1 that would actually be WORTH 35 points a go especially since everyone else gets smoke anyway and the new shooting rules mean that in order to actually get a reasonable save you won't be putting down much firepower.
"Lets put a smile on that face"
you should try phase shifting Vet death jesters tis seriously 'funny' ..... makes your opponent have to seriously consider removing him rather than putting a few 'spare' shots in his direction, my opponents always seem to have 90 missile launchers or some such these days, I would not expect the DJ in his current format to last, making him phase shift like I suggested would force them to choose between ignoring him or dedicating something to his removal, that way he is more likely to make his points back even if he kills very little .
on the subject of rending,i can assure you it is supposed to be representative of the qualities of a high velocity molecular wire, if they penetrate they scramble you like an egg does not matter how big you are, obviously going to be more effective when aiming at weak spots (like any weapon no ?) , all the old eldar molecular weps always had a chance to penetrate even the thickest armour (warpspider deathspinners too) and again assuming that the template 2 str 6 rending weapon for the BA dreadnoughts is not broken I don't see why the marionette could not mount one that has 'only' one template.
While I'm on the marionette as it is a 0-1 i think dance of death and fleet would be an excellent addition it's far from broken (maybe when it fleets you could add +1 to holo saves ? ) I also think that maybe two should be available ? either that or make it a 'unique' special character ? (I think one or two special characters for the list could be fun to put together)
my current ideas on the Solitaire include ,possibly giving him a power bump and making him a special character ?
Regardless I really think he needs either (1.) EW and /or (2.) the thing I suggested making people re-roll successful shooting at him and a bump to WS9 (meaning ws 4 models hit on 5's). if only choosing one of the two I would prefer the latter as it is something more unique to the solitaire rather than just 'another' EW character.
I really think the focus should be kept on using skill speed and trickery for harlequins to avoid damage rather than something like EW which granted the phoenix lords have, however the really are eternal in the truest possible sense.... at the end of the day the solitaire is just an uber scary kick a** pointy eared alien space clown/mime thing ... (also I don't think he ever speaks .. is there a need for a tie in to the mimes ?) Finally I'm still thinking an up gunned (ID and/or ignores ward saves) rending, it would be not only be a characterful addition (just touching him is bad news.....) but would mean he would be dangerous to everything in some way I don't see why he can't be dangerous to MCs and vehicles, he needs to be 'actually' scary.
bear in mind he cant/shouldn't join squads and won't subsequently benefit from VoT. T 3 with at best a 4+ ward and three wounds coupled with TLOS means he is in for a tough time whatever, a tactical squad can drop him with one load of rapid fire... obviously if you pop in my re-roll successful shooting thing he 'can' survive it.
last two points for some reason I see fate/chance as something involved with the Harlequin theme I really think that the army would not only benefit from the availability of doom and fortune , I don't ever run harli's without them, so I don't see why an actual list of them should be 'less' effective, on the subject of psychic powers the harlequins have cloes ties/involvement with the farseers/guardians of the black library, I was wondering if instead of vet Shadow seers the higher level psycher for the list should perhaps be a black library farseer ? (how awesome ?)
and finally just wanted to throw this out there, there are masses of characters and even UNITS now with 3+ ward saves why would a domino field be only as good as an iron halo ? I thought the eldar were masters of hoopy field tech ? bear in mind a 4+ ward is less good on T3 as you will always be making more saves than a T4 model with the same.
Right I think that will do for now , lol
hope that provides you with some interesting food for thought. also would you consider putting a 'provisional' edition of the codex together incorporating my suggested changes ? it's one thing to theory things out but playing with it is another thing, I would feel more confident backing my suggestions up with some playtesting and it's nice to have a nice shiny codex to do it with, rekkon the guys at my regular group would be more receptive *wink*
needless to say I'll play a couple of games this week some with your current edition and I'll try a couple with my suggestions added in too.
over and out
Again, this is a lot to take in. I don't have time right now to reply to all of this new info, but rest assured is has already been read and is being assimilated.
Anyway, I doubt anything new will come out before the Easter weekend, as I'm taking the family down to visit with the in-laws tomorrow evening. I will see what I can do about updating the Codex again during the following week.
*NEW!* Codex: Genestealer Cult (6th Ed) For the Father!
*NEW!* Codex: Adeptus Arbites (6th Ed) To detect and to purge!
*NEW!* Codex: Harlequins (6th ed) The Harlequins will have the last laugh!
Codex: Spyrer Hunting Party Death leaves the Underhive!
Codex: Exodites The Dragon Knights prepare to charge!
OK, last thing before you think about updating I promise.
The list is too weak against vehicles. I'm goig to try it out against my IG, but I don't think it'll go down well for the Harlies. If I put a Demolisher in the IG list I'm not even sure they'd be able to kill it if the Marionette dies - not unless I tailored the list and even then the Harlies will have a hard time.
As a solution I'd like to put forward a piece of wargear that I've seen in the Tempus Fugitives Harlequin Codex called Harlequin Cards:
Just something to think about.a model armed with Harlequin Cards may place them in the assault phase against models with an armour value in the same way as grenades. At the end of the assault phase, should a card be successfuly placed the unit equiped with the Harlequin Cards immediately moves 2D6" away from the combat and their opponent may not consolidate. Once the Harlequin has disengaged from the combat, roll a D6. On a 1-3 the card has no effect. On a 5-4 the target takes a glancing hit. On a roll of a 6 the target takes a penetrating hit.
Good luck with the update and have a nice weekend.
I have to disagree, i have been running fusion guns in my quin squads for a while (one example) in a recent game the last two quins from one squad immobilized and wep destroyed a dreadnought with rending , then withdrew in his turn within 3" of his crusader and in my turn took it out with the fusion guns in the last turn they shot and charged the dreadnought to finish it off.
also you can shoot a vehicle then assault the contents so another good reason to have the fusion guns.
My suggested changes to a vet DJ will help in the AT department ,brightlance with BS 5 and quick shot anyone ? then phase shift into hiding/cover *grin*
also the cards are more or less the same as haywire grenades ? rending allows quins to deal with any vehicle except AV14 all round,2 fusion pistols in each squad will do nicely ,the new fleeting marionette and the high BS bright lances should be able to cope. plus shooting fusion pistols from open topped vehicles is another option ?
I've finally had some time to take a look at the changes you guys were suggesting, and I think I like quite a few of them. I don't have time to properly playtest the list right now myself (new baby on the way, due in a few weeks), but I wanted to get the changes implemented and thrown out there for you (and anyone else) to bite into and let me know how it goes.
Since this is an experimental revision, rather than one I've personally playtested, I'm not going to update the link in the 1st post. Also, I'm trying out a new host for the file (mediafire) which doesn't require membership to download the file. Let me know what you think of the new host as well if you are so inclined.

Here are the notes on the new changes:
- Domino Field upgraded to a 3+ Invulnerable Save. Points cost increased slightly wherever it appears.
- Granted the Phase Field a 6" move during the assault phase if they are unengaged.
- Added the option for Shadowseers and Death Jesters back into the Harlequin Troupe.
- Added the option for Shadowseers to the Mime Troupe.
- Removed the line about Aspirants not benefiting from Conceal. Not sure what I was thinking there...
- Increased the Great Harlequin's WS to 7 and his A to 4. Raised his points a small bit to compensate. (Also fixed his Army List Entry to correctly state that he starts out with a close combat weapon, not a harlequin's kiss!)
- Changed the Dread Mask and Rictus Mask to something a little more potent and fun.
- Removed the option to have Independent, Elite Shadowseers.
- Added the option for Veteran Death Jesters to be given Domino Fields and Phase Shifters.
- The Solitaire has been boosted to WS 9, mainly to make him even harder to hit. Also added the new "Veil of Laughter" rule to protect him a bit from enemy shooting. He'll still drop like a fly if any concerted shooting effort is bent his way, but now he'll take a few more shots to bring down overall. His points value has been suitably increased to compensate.
- Granted the Solitaire the option of a new "Solitaire's kiss", which allows him to become extremely deadly against characters, monstrous creatures and vehicles. (Note that only To Wound rolls of 6 will inflict the D3 Wounds. I did this instead of Instant Death because it is more effective against "Eternal Warriors". Note that only the affected model suffers D3 Wounds, not the unit. This makes it only effective against multi-wound models, rather than making him that much more devastating to units made up of single-wound models.)
- Allowed the option of taking 2 Venoms for a single Fast Attack choice. That should help Harlequin armies Mech up a bit - if you keep your units small.
- Replaced the vehicle upgrade Holo Fields with the new Jigsaw Field, which grants a cover save based on movement. Venoms and Mockingbirds should be fairly robust now, provided you remember to keep them moving. (As Fast vehicles, they can easily move at Cruising Speed and remain effective, whilst gaining a 4+ Cover Save.)
- Added "Dance of Death" and "Fleet" to the Marionette.

On a final note I really think Doom and fortune access will finish the list off nicely and allow for some interesting combo's and give some reliability when needed.
At least humor me and try it for a few games if it is not something you want to be part of the main list then at least do a special character 'Fate seer' and give him fortune, doom and divination (one power for each of the classic worlds three fates)
would you like to include maybe 2-3 special characters in the list ? would be a good exercise in game design even if you don't end up including them in the final 'print'
Hope that all made sense
Edit: I noticed you changed the Marionette, I like dance and fleet , very fluffy, but I cannot get behind the drop to T7, as there is only ONE of him, he is going to get hit with every str6 plus wep available plus st 4 spam can potentially hurt him too T7 is a real nerf.....
go on try rending on the weaver....you know you want to *grin*

As a recovered Tau player, I miss my JSJ Battlesuits, so I'm actually really looking forward to trying this combo out. I think this is the ultimate fix for the glass cannon syndrome.
That one was a suggestion by djinn8. I tossed it in to see what it might be capable of. Think it over a bit and see if you can come up with some uses for it. We'll let djinn8 share his ideas as well. If it isn't worth taking, I will see what else we might want to do with it.
Don't take domino fields then. I figure we can give him two options to make him more secure depending on how the player wants to use him. I'm really not a fan of the Crack Shot/Fast Shot ideas though. Adding them seems to take something away from the DR Exarch in my mind, and I just don't think it is really necessary, given his high BS and the new JSJ ability. You'll just have to maneuver him well to minimize the effects of cover.
Actually, the "no rerolling a reroll" is one of the reasons why the "no TL" rule exists. Think about this - if that part of the rule didn't exist, and a Baal Predator fires its Twin-Linked Assault Cannons at your Solitaire, and rolls a 1, 2, 5 and 6, the Harlequin player would force the 5 and 6 to be re-rolled, while the Blood Angels player would re-roll the 1 and 2 due to being Twin-Linked. I didn't want that situation cropping up, and the small change makes him even less vulnerable. So with the full rule in effect, the 1 and 2 would be misses with no re-rolls allowed, while the 5 and 6 would have to be re-rolled due to the Veil of Laughter.
Well, first off you would double Strength before adding +1, so it would be S7 on the charge. S7+D6+Rending (Average of 10-11, max of 16), or S4+2D6 (Average of 11, max of 16). I don't really see the difference here. I'd have to do a full run of the numbers to be sure, but I think we're talking very minor differences. I think this one just feels a bit less clunky.
And tweaking is what this is all about. I won't call this Codex "done" for quite some time. If there is still room for improvements, I'm willing to make them!
It might be a bit over the top, but remember that you have to move 24" and use Star Engines during your turn to claim that much. I was going with the idea that it will protect even when stationary (like the Harlequins' holo-suits), but I can see an argument for making motion a requirement. This one I'll leave to playtesting, but feel free to drop it by 1 point in some of your games to see which one feels more "right".
I don't think I'll be adding those to the High Shadowseer. It just doesn't fit his character as I see it.
This, however, has caught my fancy. I just might be tempted to make a special character, called the "Weaver of Fates" or something, and theme him/her to be tied to Morai-heg in some way. I also like the "three fates" bit, a lot in fact. I'll get working on this character right away!
I did change the Marionette, but all I did was add Dance of Death and Fleet. He's been T7 since his initial inception. Yes, he has a lower Toughness than a Wraithlord, but he also has a Holo-suit to grant him a save against AP1, AP2 and Power Weapons. If he seems way too fragile, I might consider upping it, but part of the idea was to make him fast but fragile like the other Harlequin units.
Nope - not going to happen. I don't see it going that way, and, as I mentioned, I am trying to stay in-line with existing Eldar rules as much as possible. If they change, I will, but I don't think they will!

Let's see what you've got. (FYI, I've finally gotten my hands on the BA Codex, so I'll be looking at their masks and seeing what we can do to one-up them here...)
I'd really like to see how he fairs right now with his current stats and abilities before I go deciding he needs Crack/Fast Shot. Give me some practical experience and we'll talk on this again. On the note of the Domino Field, I figure if the Vet DJ is high enough in status to requisition a Phase Shifter, he should also have access to the Domino Field. I may make it so that he can only take the Domino Field OR the Phase Shifter, that way the player will have to make a choice - give him a rock-hard 3+ Inv, or let him JSJ. What do you think?
True, but I place a high value on honest and constructive feedback, which you are providing in vast quantities. PLEASE keep it coming!
Maybe it is a bit verbose. I'll look at shortening it a bit in the next revision.
You know, one of these days I'll learn to read my own rules before I go posting like a *****. So yeah, S8 or S5 on the charge, depending on which way we go. Either way, the numbers are basically the same with either rule set. I'll think about it, and maybe go your way - mainly due to the underlined part above - which I hadn't considered and which is a better argument than any I can come up with for the other method.
I am thinking more and more that you are right on this one. This will probably change in the next revision.
But he's supposed to be fragile. It's all a part of being a Harlequin! My idea here is that you will have to present your enemy with other targets that make the Marionette seem less juicy. Consider this one under advisement.
I've also thought about giving him "Scout" to help him get into combat quicker (and let him Outflank if he wants). I think it fits with his character. What do you think?
I don't have any thoughts for other special characters yet - but I think I want to avoid the Laughing god himself. I don't want anything like an Avatar of Cegorach floating around, and a true manifestation of the god himself would probably be too much like a C'Tan for my tastes. I like him better as part of the background.
I do, however, have a rough draft of the "Weaver of Fates" I mentioned above. Take a look and let me know what you think of her thus far (note that I decided to make her a non-Harlequin - i.e. no Dance of Death or Holo-suit or Veil of Tears going on - she is more like a Farseer, just a bit better at the twisting of fate type stuff.)
Laché-sis Angaufaresh - The Weaver of Fates
Whispered in legend on the Craftworlds of the Eldar are tales of a strange figure who travels the Webway in the company of the Harlequins, but is yet stranger and more aloof than their unusual kind. She is Laché-sis, the Weaver of Fates, and it is said that she alone knows the ultimate destiny of every creature, mortal and immortal alike.
Those few who claim to have seen her say that she wears a small skin rune pouch on her belt, and the most learned among them claim that it once belonged to Morai-heg, the Eldar goddess of fate and souls. Whether this is mere superstition or if it has some basis in the truth is not clearly understood. What is known, however, is that Laché-sis seems to have some power over the destiny of any individual who falls beneath her piercing gaze.
Ld 10
Sv -
Unit Composition: Laché-sis (Unique)
Unit Type: Infantry
Wargear: Shuriken Pistol
Blade of Ordination
Rune Armour
Skin Rune Pouch
Special Rules: Divination
Fleet of Foot
Independent Character
Weaver of Fates
Psychic Powers: These powers work as described in the psychic powers section of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook, are used at the start of the Harlequin turn and do not require Laché-sis to have line of sight to target. Laché-sis knows the following psychic powers:
Doom: Laché-sis searches for the thread of destiny that spells the destruction of an enemy and draws it into being. AS CODEX: ELDAR (see Farseer)
Fortune: Laché-sis scries the strands of the future to forsee where the enemy will attack, warning those nearby so that they may avoid enemy fire. AS CODEX ELDAR (see Farseer)
Predestination: Laché-sis draws deep into her knowledge of the fates in order to best guide her followers to the greatest victory possible. Nominate one Harlequin unit with a model within 6" of Laché-sis. This unit gains 2D6 re-rolls that it may use for any dice rolls made by the unit (i.e. to hit rolls, to wound rolls, saves, etc), or that directly affect the unit (enemy to hit rolls, to wound rolls, psychic tests, etc). Any unused re-rolls are lost at the start of the next Harlequin turn.
Blade of Ordination: The Blade of Ordination counts as a normal close combat weapon. In addition, it allows Laché-sis to re-roll all failed to hit rolls and to wound rolls, and her opponents must re-roll all successful armour saves and invulnerable saves for wounds inflicted by the Blade of Ordination.
Skin Rune Pouch: This is said to be the very pouch that once belonged to the Eldar goddess Morai-heg, and legend tells that the fate of all creatures is held within. Once per battle, at the end of the Harlequin player's shooting phase, Laché-sis may open the pouch, revealing to those around her their ultimate fates. All units within 12", friend or foe, (but not Laché-sis or any unit she has joined) must immediately take a Morale Test. Enemy units must take this test on 3D6 due to the sudden shock of such a revelation. If the test is failed, the unit immediately begins falling back. If the test is passed, the unit gains the Stubborn Universal Special Rule for the remainder of the game. Fearless units, and units otherwise immune to Morale Tests are unnaffected by the Skin Rune Pouch.
Divination: Laché-sis has powers of precognition and prophecy as great as any among the Eldar race. AS CODEX ELDAR (see Eldrad)
Weaver of Fates: Laché-sis is a master of manipulating the mystical energies of the Warp to influence the fates of those around her, more so than even the most powerful Farseers of the Craftworlds. She may use two of her psychic powers each turn, but may not use the same psychic power twice in the same turn. Alternatively, she may use all three of her psychic powers in a turn, but if she does so, she may not Move, Shoot, Run or Assault during that turn.
I haven't gone so far as determining a points value for her yet - but I am sure it won't be low! Also, I'm concerned that the Skin Rune Pouch might be just a tad overpowered, but I'm afraid if I lower the range, or eliminate the 3D6 bit, it might be a bit underwhelming. I really want the Stubborn aspect as this represents the unit becoming inured to fear by knowing their fate as you might imagine would happen if they pass that Morale test right off the bat. (Fleeing and then rallying would simply represent them getting over it, if you get my meaning.)

Well, the ability to Outflank is a result of having the Scout rule. Not saying it would be the best idea for him to do, but I don't think I want to give him Scout but preclude Outflank.
His holo-suit is thus far identical to the one worn by the Harlequins, and they don't get a bonus for running, so I don't think I want to go that route. Like I said, if he proves too fragile, I'll think about upping his Toughness to 8, but for now lets see how he plays with T7 and the 5+ Invulnerable. (And Scout...see below!)
I don't think it is really all that clunky. It isn't any more clunky than the Tau Markerlight rules, which allow you to do all kinds of interesting things. Since it can only be cast once each turn, but a special character, I think a tiny bit of bookkeeping (i.e. keeping track of how many re-rolls you have left) would be easy enough, and since they can be used for just about anything, it won't be hard to figure out when/where to use them. I have a very similar power available to my Exodites, and it has proved to be useful and not much fuss in my playtesting thus far.
What I was going for here with the Weaver of Fates was to make a character who really stands out among the Harlequin army. Where the Great Harlequin and the Solitaire are very powerful close-combat fighters, and the Harlequins themselves are quite adept up-close as well, I wanted her to be fairly tame in that realm, but still able to put a few wounds on the enemy. Basically, you take her for her psychic powers, not her ability to kill the enemy.
While the Blade of Ordination only hits at S3 and allows armour saves, it does have the rather interesting effect of re-rolling all failed to-hit and to-wound rolls, and forcing the enemy to re-roll all successfull saves. Those re-rolls make it much more likely for her to get hits, score wounds and for the enemy to fail saves. Fate is on her side, even if her weapon isn't an uber-killy power weapon that causes instant death.
Hmmm...dooming a single model instead of showing everyone their doom... I'll think about it, but I was really getting into the current ability. Just think about the idea of giving one of your Harlequin Troupes the Stubborn rule when they pass their morale test due to their Leadership of 10 and their lovely Predestination re-roll. Your opponents are much less likely to pass, as they take their test on 3D6. This is especially true for lower-leadership units. (The average roll on 3D6 is around 10 to 11, so most units will fail on an average roll!)
Again, thanks for all of your input, and I look forward to hearing about any gaming experience with the list. Just make sure you use the latest revision! I have uploaded a new version of the Experimental Codex with the following changes:
- Fixed the Shadowseer in the Harlequin Troupe and Mime Troupe, giving them Hallucinogen Grenades they should have had previously. (An oversight when putting them back into units.)
- Limited the Veteran Death Jester to carrying either a Domino Field or a Phase Shifter, but not both.
- Cleaned up the overly-verbose "Veil of Laughter" rule to be just a tad shorter.
- Altered the Solitaire's kiss to be a bit more in-line with the normal Harlequin's kiss, but still highly effective against characters, monsters and vehicles.
- Reduced the potential save of the Jigsaw Field to be null when stationary, and 3+ at best.
- Added "Scout" USR to the Marionette. This should allow him to either get to grips with his foe that much faster, or else Outflank and be protected for the first turn or two while you move your other forces into position.

Thought I'd clarify my ideas for the Rictus Mask. The idea came to me when I'd charged into a combat with nurgle marked chaos marines but hadn't killed enough in my turn for the unit to be safe in the next. With the next round of combat being a very costly one (or possibly a fatal one) it would have been nice to be able to hit and run out of it, but that would have meant the even worse option of being gunned down. The Rictus as I suggested would at least allow a chance to pull out before it all went south. 15 points might be a bit much for it though as the Dread Mask IS the better option.
I'd also like to convince you to make the Night Weaver rending. You say you have Blood Angels codex now, well go in and take a look at one of the Dread Weapons you can take. I can't remember what it's called now, but the stat line is S6, Template, Assault 2, Rending. And to top it off its a free upgrade (though it does replace something). Seriously you're worrying to much about whether the Night Weaver will be too powerful, but if it really bothers you drop it down to S5. Also perhaps instead of giving the Marrionette Scout, you could save that for its Mime Special character version? Some sort of Living Statue? Give it Infiltrate as well as Scout and a Domino Field to boot. Of course having a unique Marionette wouldn't make sense if ALL Marionettes are unique (0-1) so you'd have to remove the FOC restriction on them. Just a thought.
On the Veil of laughter and twin-linked issue, both should be ignored. Commissar Yarrik has a similer rule to the Veil but for wounding. I discussed this in the rules forum some time ago and the general concensus was that both sides of the equation cancel each other out. I can't see why this would be true for Yarrik but not the Solitair. Just another reason why he should have Eternal Warrior instead. But I won't go into that again if you've already made your mind up.
The Harlequin Kiss is also too powerful as well. I know that anyone I play using the rules as they are written here will throw a fit when I tell them that he can have up to 15 S5 Invnerable rending power weapon attacks on a character that his vehicles like a monstrous creature. Then they'll slap me when I tell them it cost 5 points. It must be a typo that the Kiss costs half what it does to arm him with a power weapon. I think he just needs to have the options to take a power weapon to kill troops and make the Kiss an invunerable ignoring rending weapon for characters and elite troops.

You need a big nasty heavily armed and armored skimmer transport called a "Land Raider" for laughs.
Greetings honored sir.
Yeah, I can see where you were going with it. Like Kraken said though, I'm thinking it is just too situational to be worthwhile. I'm open to suggestions on what to replace it with now.
I don't think I've said that I won't make it Rending due to Rending being too powerful of a rule for it. It won't be made Rending because the ranged monofilament weapons in Codex: Eldar are not Rending. If that changes in the future, so will my opinion. Consistency with the existing rules for the Eldar is important to me. I'm still up in the air about what other special characters to make, but for now I'm liking Scout on the Marionette. That opinion is subject to change however once I get some games in or someone else reports back with some practical experience.
As it stands though, a S6 Template Weapon has its place in killing things with a poor Armour Save who are hiding in cover. If you want to kill Marines more effectively, or open up vehicles, give him the Fusion Pistol option instead.
I really like Veil of Laughter as it stands. It makes a mockery of any attempt to shoot at him. (Figuratively anyway, pour enough fire into him and he'll still go down - just the odds are in his favor is all.)
I think you are confused. The Harlequin's kiss on the Solitaire is the same as any other Harlequin's kiss - a Rending weapon and nothing more. 5pts is the standard upgrade cost for it.
The Solitaire's Kiss, on the other hand, is both a Power Weapon and a Rending Weapon, adds +1 Strength (4, 5 on the charge) or +3 Strength against vehicles (6, 7 on the charge - for an average Penetration of 10-11 on the charge, and a maximum penetration of 17 with a perfect Rending roll) and ignores Invulnerable saves and does D3 Wounds whenever it Rends (still a 1 in 6 chance). It does not, however, cost a mere 5 pts. It costs 35 pts.
I also don't see where you are getting 15 attacks from. He has 3 base, + up to 6 for charging, +1 for two weapons - that equals a total of 10.

I stand corrected. I think I was having a bit of a brain fart when I was reading the Solitaire rules. Also I think the reason I read the Kiss point cost wrong was because I assumed their wouldn't be the option to give him the Harlequin Kiss. If you're not willing to pay 5 points more to take the power weapon you really shouldn't be taking the Solitaire in the first place. Those points could be better spent on a Marionette. Which leads me to my second point:
The Marionette is a real no brainer choice over the Solitaire. The Solitaire doesn't fill any holes in the army (he just gives you more of what you've already got) but the Marionette fills a pretty big void (a tank killing, tar pitting, bullet sponge). That's why I'm against giving it scout as well. It's good enough already.
On the subject of the Rictus mask once more. It's not as useless as you might think. I use hit and run on the first turn of combat a fair bit with SoB Seraphim. Hit a unit then jump pack out of line of sight. Of course Harlequins don't have jump packs so this tactic won't work for them, but allowing the unit to cause pinning provides the same thing. The biggest problem as pointed out by Kraken and yourself is that the Dread Mask is the better option. Even if the Rictus cost less, you'd still want the Dread Mask. So the rule would need another location if it were to be included at all. The best place I can see for it would be as another "dance" upgrade. The problem still persists with the other dances being better, but there's more room for point reduction and its not the "either/or" choice that it is with the masks. That and the tactic is more viable, giving small squads the ability to stall units they would otherwise be unable to deal with. Still I don't know how you'd feel about that given the the names of the current dances, (its not Comedy, Tragedy & the other one after all). *sigh* Perhaps I'm just going nowhere with the idea.
The Solitaire may not fill any holes, but he sure makes a lot of them...
Honestly though, he is capable of bringing down tanks, especially the lighter transport types with their 10 rear armour. I think one of his biggest roles, however, is to be the model you point at and say "See this guy? If he touches your lines, you are finished." He may not actually follow through on that threat, but his stats and rules certainly make it a believeable bluff if nothing else. The idea is to have him change the way your enemy plays, allowing you to set the pace and tone of the battle.
I wonder if changing the Hit & Run thing over to be the effect provided by Tanglefoot Grenades would be viable? Currently they are simply Defensive Grenades - but maybe they could have the "Pin on Hit & Run" rule instead. Of course, it would require a rejuggling of who can have them, and what they would cost, but it is worth considering.

I'm going to play a game with the 'quins tomorrow evening. What units do you thing need testing over others?
I really want to hear how the Death Jester Veteran fares with the new version of the Phase Shifter (i.e. the Tau-style Jump-Shoot-Jump).
Obviously the Solitaire needs to see some practical play to see if his Veil of Laughter and Solitaire's Kiss are over the top, underpowered, or just right.
I'd also like to know how the Jigsaw Field works out - it should make the Venoms quite a bit more survivable when using them aggressively. (i.e. a 4+ Cover save while still being able to shoot & drop off their passengers, or a 3+ Cover save when it really gets moving, should allow them to soak up a lot more fire before they crash and burn!)
And of course, the Marionette should have a go to see if Scout is just too much on top of granting him Dance of Death and Fleet.
I think those are the biggest testing needs right now.
Man, I wish I could get this kind of help on my Exodite Codex!

Reviewed by Automotive on 1/31/2013
The Jaguar XF is a midsize sedan that drives more like a smaller car. While the rear seats are cramped and the price tag is a bit high, the wide range of engine options is attractive. The design is impeccable, and across the board, each trim is more than adequate for daily use or joyriding. Given its short history, the XF has come a long way and is one of the best vehicles in its class.
The addition of a four-cylinder and a V-6 to the engine lineup mean the 2013 XF is more affordable and more efficient. All-wheel drive, available only with the V-6, is an option for the first time. A new eight-speed automatic replaces the old six-speed across the line. The V-6 and the V-8 incorporate auto stop/start to improve efficiency.
The 2013 Jaguar XF features a low roofline and a recently reworked front fascia that looks extremely attractive with a reshaped grille and vents. The exterior also benefits from a very minimal amount of chrome trim in just the right spots, smooth lines throughout the build, and the Jaguar signature lighting pattern for the headlights. The taillights extend onto the trunk's lid and a wide range of wheel options.
The XF comes standard with 18-inch alloy with a sunroof, auto-leveling HID headlamps with a washing system, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The XF Portfolio adds 19-inch alloy wheels and adaptive headlights. The XFR and XF Supercharged receive 20-inch alloy wheels and aerodynamic improvements. The XFR receives a unique fascia design.
Overall, the exterior is extremely charming, even if the low roofline causes some space issues within the cabin. There are options for directionally adaptive headlights on all models except the XFR, which comes with them as standard fare. The rear liftgate window does not open.
The 2013 Jaguar XF comes standard with leather seating, a built-in hard drive for music and navigation storage, and a 10-speaker audio system. The audio system includes an AM/FM/CD radio, MP3 playback, and an auxiliary jack for iPod integration. The XF also comes standard with cruise control, dual-zone climate control, and a rear parking system.
The XF Portfolio adds heated and ventilated seating, softer leather, different leather trimming, and a smart key system. Also added to the XF Portfolio is the memorization system that memorizes seating and steering wheel positions for two drivers. The XF Supercharged adds an 11-speaker audio system with a subwoofer and a blind-spot monitoring system.
Interior options include several different aluminum or wood trims and different leather options. There is also a Bowers and Wilkins audio system available. Overall, the interior comes loaded down with the usual gadgets and some specialty gadgets, and each trim comes with a little bit more than the last.
The 2013 Jaguar XF comes standard with anti-lock brakes, electronic brake force distribution, and traction and stability control systems. The airbags include dual front, side, and side-curtain airbags for each passenger's safety. Also included are overhead airbags and a passenger detection sensor that only deploys the passenger-side airbags if someone is present. The emergency brake assist system will apply the brakes if the possibility of a collision is likely. The XF also features a valet mode, which limits the car to low speeds. The XF comes standard with an anti-theft alarm system as well.
An impressive safety option is the adaptive cruise control that will apply the brakes or acceleration to stay a certain distance from other cars. Parking assist is standard, as are blind-spot monitoring and tire-pressure monitoring systems. The V6 SC is the only model that doesn't receive blind-spot monitoring as standard fare.
In European crash tests, the 2012 XF received four out of five stars, which is some indication of the safety for this year's model. Overall, the large amounts of safety features make the Jaguar XF appear safe.
The 2013 Jaguar XF comes with plenty of engine options. The base is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 240 horsepower and 251 lb-ft of torque. The Supercharged receives a 470-hp, 5.0-liter, V-8 engine, and the XFR gets the large 5.0-liter, V-8 engine that produces 510 horsepower and 461 lb-ft of torque. Also available is a 340-hp, 3.0-liter, V-6 engine for the Supercharged, which can also be paired up with all-wheel drive for additional safety and handling.
The fuel economy varies between engine sizes. The small, four-cylinder engine receives an estimated 19/29 mpg city/highway. The V-6 receives 18/28 mpg city/highway for front drive and 15/26 mpg city/highway for all-wheel drive. The V-8 engine gets an estimated 15/23 mpg city/highway.
The XF handles like a much smaller car than it is, and acceleration is impressive. The ride is smooth, road noise is minimal, and the base can reach zero to 60 mph in just 7.5 seconds, which is impressive for such a small engine. The V-6 is even quicker going from zero to 60 in 5.7 seconds. The XFR receives high top speeds and about the same amount of acceleration. The powerful engines make the ride fun, and any of the performance issues seen with the introduction of the XF are pretty much cleared now.

Heavy Water Users To See Decrease On Bill In Midland
By: Big 2 News Staff
Updated: January 4, 2013
Starting this month, Midland is returning to its old rate structure.
The City of Midland is removing the penalty rate -- or multiplier rate -- applied to the usage of 10,000 to 25,000 gallons of water.
Residents and businesses using 10,000 gallons or less of water per month will see no change, and the multiplier on rates for 25,000 gallons or more will stay in place.
Midland leaders voted to discard the multiplier in November 2012, after the Colorado River Municipal Water District lifted municipal water allotment restrictions for its member cities.

The Sunpentown WA-1511S Window Air Conditioner cools and removes excess humitity to keep your space comfortable. With an energy-efficiency ratio (EER) of 10.7 and a helpful energy saver mode, this Energy Star-rated air conditioner lowers the room temperature while conserving electricity. This room air conditioner includes a window installation kit, a reusable air filter, and adjustable louvers. The Sunpentown 15,000-BTU Window Air Conditioner is recommended for areas as large as 800 square feet.
With an Energy Star rating and an EER rating of 10.7, this efficient window air conditioner uses less electricity to cool your home, resulting in significant savings on your yearly cooling costs. Additionally, this air conditioner is equipped with an energy saver feature.
The convenient energy saver function is great for days when you plan to be away from home for an extended period of time. While there's no need to waste your AC's powerful cooling on an empty house, you also don't want to come home to a stuffy room. In energy saver mode, the cooling system operates efficiently to maintain your pre-set temperature and the compressor runs only when the room temperature exceeds that setting. Every 10 minutes, the fan cycles on for two minutes for energy-efficient cooling.
The Sunpentown WA-1511S Air Conditioner was designed to mount in windows with a minimum width of 26.5 inches and a maximum width of 40.5 inches. The fully equipped window kit provides all the essentials for secure installation. In addition to a mounting hardware set, the installation kit includes two accordion panels and a window sash seal— all you'll need is a screwdriver.
With various functions that you can program with the remote control, this multi-purpose air conditioner allows you to experience a comfortable indoor environment no matter the weather forecast. The Sunpentown WA-1511S Window Air Conditioner is equipped with the following operating modes:
Fan – When the outdoor temperature drops, give your AC a break by switching to fan mode. Fan-only operation helps you avoid indoor stuffiness by providing a continuous flow of fresh air ventilation. The Sunpentown WA-1511S Air Conditioner features four fan speed settings: high, medium, low, and auto.
Cool – Cool mode, the main function of this window air conditioner, forces heat out of your space and replaces it with a direct stream of fresh, cool air. Every minute the Sunpentown WA-1511S pulls in up to 710 cubic feet of hot air and exhausts it outside through the air grille. In cool mode, this room air conditioner lowers your indoor temperature to as low as 62 degrees Fahrenheit with a cooling capacity of 15,000 BTUs.
Dry – In dry mode, this air conditioner acts as a dehumidifier, extracting moisture from the air as it cools your home. This function not only gives you fast relief from indoor humidity, but it also saves electricity, as the air conditioner does not have to work as hard to cool your space. The Sunpentown WA-1511S Window AC removes 2.72 pints of moisture per hour in dry mode.
Auto – When set in auto mode, the Sunpentown WA-1511S automatically maintains your ideal temperature. If no settings have been programmed, the air conditioner will monitor the room temperature and initiate the fan cycle or start the cooling process when necessary. This window air conditioner operates in a temperature range between 62 degrees Fahrenheit and 86 degrees Fahrenheit in auto mode.

That means you're getting more ankle support and the stable skating you want from a mid-top, but with all the other performance features of the low-top Jefferson: A streamlined cupsole built super narrow to create a specially shaped toe box that will increase board flick and enhance its slipper-like fit, plus a DTTF (dropped-to-the-floor) footbed for maximum board feel and control. If you prefer a low-top shoe, make sure to take a look at the Jefferson or the Jameson 2.

Steven Downie These are a little stiff, but my lord do they look sharp! I get compliments on them all the time, very nice shoes, true black top...I just hate how the white gets dirty so fast, i wish shoes would stop putting a white border on the bottom.
Overall great shoe, have to break them in, but worth the style.

Caring for Your Parents: Moving In
Story Updated: Nov 30, 2012
Mary Holmes knows that firsthand. She moved her mother to Alaska from Oregon after her father developed a particularly violent form of dementia.
"The situation was not good," said Mary. "I didn't know what we were going to do with my father but I knew, no matter what, I needed to bring my mom up here."
A year and a half ago, Mary packed up her mother Jessie and brought her to live in Mary's Anchorage home, along with Mary's husband and teenage daughter. Mary said the move went more smoothly than she expected, but once her mother settled in she realized something else: Her mother had Alzheimer's as well. Suddenly, even the immediate future was less clear.
"You have to try to stay a step ahead, you have to anticipate what's going to be next," said Mary. "What do I need to do next? What's going to be the next thing?"
Mary set about making her home as safe and comfortable as possible. She had handrails installed on the steps and made adjustments in the bathroom to help prevent falls. She furnished her mother's bedroom with photographs of familiar faces. She said one thing that made the transition easier is that she knows her mother better than anyone else.
"I know what she likes, I know what she doesn't like. I know what makes her happy, so for me, to put her in a home, a different home, would be very hard."
Even so, Mary said, there have been challenges. Mary works from home, which means there are days when mom's constant company can feel like too much.
"It's like having a small child who's not in school yet; it's that kind of adjustment."
Mary said having her own space is important for both her and her mother. Jessie has privacy in her room where she can retreat to read or write letters. Mary can close the door to her own bedroom so her mom knows that she needs some time alone.
Jessie also attends an adult day center one or two days a week, and the time socializing with others is something her mother has come to look forward to.
But for the most part the pair enjoy their time together. It's something Mary said she's reminded of every day and that she is thankful for. Her plan is to have her mother with her for as long as she can.

DELTONA, Fla. - The parents of a senior at Deltona High School are outraged after their 17-year-old son had an asthma attack at school and the school nurse would not let him use his inhaler.
Sue Rudi got a call from her son's school letting her know that her son was having trouble breathing. When she arrived and was taken back to the nurse's office, they found her son, Michael Rudi, on the floor.
"As soon as we opened up the door, we saw my son collapsing against the wall on the floor of the nurse's office while she was standing in the window of the locked door looking down at my son, who was in full-blown asthma attack," Rudi said.
Michael said his inhaler was confiscated on Friday after the school dean found it in his locker. Even though it was still in its original packaging with his name on it and directions for its use, it was taken away because his mother had not signed the proper form for him to have it.
In order for students to carry their prescribed drugs with them in school, parents must sign a medical release form each year. The school had no such form for Michael to have his inhaler at school.…

Well put. The movie grabs your attention in the very beginning and doesn't let go until the very end. I wasn't sure if the movie had a point, Perhaps how things can go wrong or not how you wanted it to go when you try and do the "right " thing in life.
Hey! I'm the director of "Do Cybernauts dream of digital Love?" I wish I could have been in Rochester for the screening... Thanks for the nice presentation!

Clark College collects career fashions for job-hunting students
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Bring on the fancy duds. But hold the mile-high shoulder pads, please.
Clark College is opening its closet door for the ninth annual Career Clothing Closet, a free-outfit exchange that aims to help well-dressed students score jobs.
Donations of gently used, professional-level clothing in excellent condition are welcome at the Gaiser Hall Career Center, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays, now through April 16.
That'll be followed by a giveaway event April 18 and 19 in the Penguin Student Union. Each student who attends is entitled to one complete outfit, according to Sarah Weinberger, Clark's service learning and volunteer program manager.
Donations are welcome from everyone, but beneficiaries of the giveaway will be students only, Weinberger said.
"We are looking for professional-caliber donations," she said. Many students are not exactly wealthy, Weinberger said, but they'll want to "look their finest" for what may well be their first post-college job interview -- and, perhaps, the doorway to a new life.
"We have so many students receiving financial aid, so many working part-time, who don't have means to buy expensive new clothes," said Weinberger. "Do you know what a suit costs? Even at Goodwill it adds up."
Last year, she said, a total of 246 outfits went out the door. "I can't tell you how appreciative the students are. This is such a blessing," she said.
Current styles, please
Suits and blazers, button-down shirts, ties and belts, dresses and skirts, hats, purses and the like are all welcome, Weinberger said — but even professional-level clothes that are older than 10 years probably won't do today's job hunters any favors.
"Clothes from the '80s stay on the rack a lot longer" than more modern duds, Weinberger said. The era of "mile-high shoulder pads" is definitely over, she said. There's always a flood of blue jeans and sweatshirts, she added -- but they're also beside the point, which is impressing employers. So ask yourself: Would you wear it to a high-stakes job interview?
Plus sizes are especially welcome. All donations are tax-deductible.
For more information, contact Weinberger at 360-992-2447.

Emergency response
Life can change for millions of families in an instant: natural disasters can take loved ones and the outbreak of war drive families from their homes. When the unthinkable happens, Mercy Corps delivers rapid, lifesaving aid to hard-hit communities.
All stories about Emergency response
Ethiopia, Kenya: Responding to historic drought November 8, 2011
Here's a video report from my trip last month to the drought-stricken Horn of Africa. It focuses on Ethiopia, where Mercy Corps is providing medical care to malnourished children, restoring them to health using medicines, vitamins and food formulated especially for underfed infants.
Kenya: We still need you to stretch out your hands October 27, 2011
Yesterday I wrote to our supporters about my recent trip to Kenya and Ethiopia, where people are suffering the terrible effects of the worst drought in 60 years.
Indonesia: Uneasiness after sectarian violence in Ambon October 22, 2011
It has been over a month since conflict erupted again in Ambon, bringing back memories of the religious conflict which for many was a terrible but distant memory.
Libya: Joy, closure and reflection in Misrata October 20, 2011
Nobody expected that it would be like this. However, as the news and rumors started trickling in about the capture of Qaddafi in the early afternoon, the whole town of Misurata exploded into a joyous mood.
Ethiopia: A mother's appeal October 17, 2011
We're outside the Mercy Corps office in Gashamo, Ethiopia – a bone-crunching nine hour drive from Jijiga, the regional capital. It's early in the morning, and the noisy generator is cranking out its last few minutes of power before we shut it down for the day.
Ethiopia: Despite rains, drought is far from over October 14, 2011
On the road halfway between Gashamo and Jijiga, we spent the night with a local family. As we sat and talked on the front stoop, the evening was pleasant, the full moon bright. Then in a matter of an hour or so, I watched the clouds roll in and the stars wink out.
Ethiopia: 'You gave my baby a second life' October 12, 2011
When Istohil Sheik Ahmed Abdi brought her 9-month-old son Sahane to the Mercy Corps mobile clinic in her area, she hoped to learn why he was so weak. The baby cried constantly, was vomiting and refused to nurse. He had a high fever.
Ethiopia: When no tears come October 12, 2011
There was already a crowd at the mobile health site when we arrived. The veranda was a colorful swirl of fabric. Most of the women had a bulge at their side, belly or back that turned out, when unwrapped, to be a baby.
Libya: Youth on the frontlines October 12, 2011
Young people here in Libya are looking to promote positive change and have been significant in Mercy Corps' efforts.
Ethiopia: Bigger harvests, safer food October 10, 2011
I'm writing from under my mosquito net in Jijiga, Ethiopia. If you don't know where that is, don't feel bad. I didn't either. I looked it up before I left home, of course, but Google maps only showed a big empty expanse that I suppose is meant to indicate sand.

In a battle of two 6-0 high school football teams, the visiting Williamstown Braves defeated the home Gloucester Catholic Rams 42-7 last Saturday. While Rams' wide receiver George Spingler made a 71-yard touchdown catch to give the home team an early 7-0 lead, Williamstown did the rest of the scoring, garnering almost 500 yards of total offense. Gloucester Catholic dropped to 6-1 for the year.

text: mmm-fesival 2010, anzère | logo system Nov 2009 The new logo system was designed by FL@33 as part of an evolving visual identity for the annual MMM-Festival – Musiques des Montagnes du Monde – that took place in Switzerland. The MMM-Festival featured an eclectic mix of music from mountain areas around the world. The annual event was organised three times in three consecutive summers between 2008 and 2010. The event quickly evolved during this time and so did its visual identity. The new triangular logo was introduced during the 2010 campaign and applied across all media including the 2010 version of the festival website, a billboard-sized banner, festival posters, postcards, button badges and the festival programme – all sporting a fluorescent green (Pantone 802) that was introduced and firmly established in 2009 as part of the festival's visual identity. In 2010 FL@33's responsiblities and involvement in the creative direction of the music festival exceeded those of previous years as FL@33's very own Agathe Jacquillat also curated the MMM-Festival 2010 while also working closely with the organsation team and keeping an eye on FL@33's design and communications part of the work. All this happened as an hommage to the festival's founder who sadly and unexpectedly passed away in early 2010. Anzère is a beautiful resort, in the Swiss Alps, situated on a high plateau facing south and overlooking the Rhone Valley. The breathtaking panoramic view of the Valaisan Alps presents a whopping 12 peaks over 4000m – from Bitschhorn to Mont-Blanc. related projects mmm-festival 2010 | print campaign mmm-festival 2010 | programme mmm-festival 2010 | website mmm-festival 2009 | print campaign mmm-festival 2009 | programme mmm-festival 2009 | sponsors' brochure mmm-festival 2009 | website mmm-festival 2008 | print campaign mmm-festival 2008 | t-shirts mmm-festival 2008 | website penrhyn books | logo weeks & cowling | logo arts affaires | logo matelsom | logo stereohype | logo toi com moi | logo mmm-festival 2008–2009 | logo meubles.com | logo related external link mmm-festival.org (the final – 2010 – version of the website) ***

Reading this thread and this thread in its original location, I have not been able to find whether the fertilizer in the yeast nutient, 20-0-0, is supposed to be nitrate or sulfate based.
The reason I wonder is I made some pugirum and it has an off-flavor in it. The off-flavor is a bit like rotten eggs (hydrogen sulfide). I used 21-0-0 ammonium sulfate. It is my understanding that the fertilzer is there for nitrogen content. Ammonium sulfate is also 24% sulfur as sulfate. Could this be the source of the off-flavor? I followed the rest of the wash recipe very closely.
This is the first iteration so I had no rum oils to add, and I used 50% low wines + 50% wash in the spirit run instead of dunder, as recommended by Punkin (in the thread over there).
I have to admit that these are my first attemps with a pot still, so maybe I am not making my cuts right. My experience with the way heads and tails smell/feel come from running a VM column.
I am tempted to put a themometer well in the high spot of the lyne arm to see what the vapor temperatures are. I am measuring abv with a 100mL volumetric flask, thermometer, tripple beam balance and a conversion spreadsheet. (Parrot building is on my to-do list).
Any thoughts on ammonium sulfate causing off-flavors?
