There will be live music by Amy Hendrickson and the VooDoo Review, as well as local favorites Chelsea Saddler and Chris Kearns.
This year's event will be held at the Lightner Museum, where a portion of the museum will be open with local thespians performing around you while you stroll through the various exhibits. To boot, a moonshine bar and craft cocktails will be present to accentuate the theme. Tickets are currently on sale for $55 per person or $100 per couple, and can be purchased at Volkswagen of St. Augustine or by visiting GatsbyForCharity.com.

SJCC is active throughout St. Johns County furthering visual, literary and performing arts for students, the elderly, and aspiring artists who may not otherwise have had the ability to expand their creative outlets.

Since opening their doors in December of 2013, they have been able to contribute over $100,000 to local charities and continue to allocate an annual budget for community support and sponsorships.

Shedding Years: Growing Older, Feeling Younger
With the publication of It Must Have Been Moonglow: Reflections on the First Years of Widowhood, Phyllis Greene became a first-time author at the age of eighty-two, and her book became a runaway success. The responses of her readers have helped me shed years, she writes, adding that she is younger now than she was two years ago.In Shedding Years, Phyllis Greene explores the joys and challenges of the senior years with all the warmth, humor, poignancy, and hard-won insight that made It Must Have Been Moonglow a national favorite. Humbled and moved by the hundreds of letters and e-mails she has received from those who read her first book, confused by the advantages of the new communications technology, nostalgic over the snippets and mementos she keeps to prove that the me that was is the me that is, Phyllis Greene offers a refreshing and uplifting look at the rewards of day-to-day life for the fastest-growing segment of our population. I feel liberated to be at a point in my life when I know I am beyond changing what has been, she writes, urging her readers to persevere with joy. In this wonderful book, Phyllis Greene shares the miracle of how we can all shed years by immersing ourselves in the glorious world around us.'When I was eighty, I wrote a book called It Must Have Been Moonglow: Reflections on the First Years of Widowhood, and began to shed years. I shed them in the writing; I shed them in the many responses I received; I shed them as I went on book tours and met my readers of like mind and like age. I got younger sitting at my computer. I got younger walking to the mailbox. I got younger waiting in airports! After six months, I was feeling downright giddy if not exactly girlish. I still look the same with the same wrinkles, with more white in my gray hair and I m still sometimes a little unsteady on my feet. But I don t feel the same. I feel good, stimulated, and rewarded. Young."

Playstation 4's debut certainly gave a few extra surprises for those who are on the fence, trying to buy the unit during launch day rather than pre-ordering it a couple of months before.
For those looking for more deals, we can confirm right now that Newegg (through its eBay seller account) is now selling Killzone: Shadow Fall at $45. Link here. Basically, this is 33% cheaper if you'll buy it today from its regular tag at $60. It's also a cheaper way to get than Target or Amazon's Buy 2 get 1 free PS4 deal that already ended this week, since you are only paying for one item instead of three.
But that's not all, Newegg is also listing this PS3 250GB bundle with Sports Champion + EyePet Move at $199.99. Link here. How good is this deal? Basically, this is similar with the PS3 12GB bundle Radioshack will be giving away on its Black Friday event tagged at $200.
Since this is a dealers page, we also included another offering from Toys R Us (via eBay). Apparently, the shop is now selling Disney Infinity Starter Pack for Wii U, Wii, 3DS, PS3 and Xbox 360 at $49.99 each which is almost similar to its price on Black Friday. Link here.

|Perl: the Markov chain saw
mod_perl2 design - what are the Ways To Do It ?by yosefm (Friar)
|on Jun 16, 2004 at 17:11 UTC ( #367315=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
yosefm has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I had an application made of several modules and several CGI scripts that used them. Lately I moved my computer from RedHat to Gentoo Linux, and did a lousy job in backing up, so I have my modules but not the scripts.
I figured this would be a good time to use a more up-to-date technology, and I have been doing a lot of research on mod_perl 2, Which brought up some questions that were not answered for me as well as I'd like - the whole thing is pretty confusing, considering that: the thing is still in development; I've never used mod_perl before.
So, after a long rout of googling, searchin, reading tutorials, trying and trying again (my apache2 processes are forming a union, I abused it so much :) ), I guess I'll have to come to the true source of perl wisdom... The questions I have, in short are these:
A final point is that I care nothing about stability and reliability. This is for my family, and is mainly a training project for me.

UFC 100: Kenny Florian Predicts Brock Lesnar Will Beat Frank Mir
Top UFC Lightweight contender and ESPN MMA Live analyst Kenny Florian has weighed in with his prediction of the Brock Lesnar vs Frank Mir rematch at UFC 100.
"Both guys have really learned a lot since since the first time they met.," Florian stated, "Lesnar has to be riding high on confidence. Mir is not a small heavyweight, but compared to Lesnar everyone is a small heavyweight. Giving up the size and power is going to be a tough thing for him to overcome."
HEYMAN HUSTLE reporter Hollywood Charlie was backstage at the UFC 100 weigh-ins, and had some very interesting observations posted earlier tonight, including what he felt was Mir's impatience for the showdown,
and Lesnar's cry out to eat.

As I have mentioned already we at Edelman have been conducting research through the 2010 Election campaign on Twitter use by Australian politicians and the election. As I prepare to spend the night watching the results of the election I wrote the post below for our Edelman Election blog. I thought I would repost it here also. Would love your thoughts on the election campaigning so far in the comment box if you feel so inclined.
As I write this post Australia votes. On the whole I think social media has been a massively under utilised platform for connecting with and influencing the voting decisions of Australians.
There have been examples of social media use:
- The Liberals offered a Facebook app, and managed a Facebook community, but with only around 14,000 members this is a massive missed opportunity when you consider there is in excess of 8 million Australians on Facebook of voting age.
- The Labor Party created a YouTube video, which has generated around half a million views, which is considerable, but with no clear call to action at the end, this too has to be considered a missed opportunity.
There were other examples, but not many. Social media was seen simply as something to dabble with on the periphery of the campaign. It was not integrated, or used nearly as effectively as it could have been. Imagine the communities that could have been generated in Facebook if the advertisements on television and in print media directed people to join a page. This simple exercise could have created environments where information could have been provided, social actions could have been encouraged and political movements created. Instead the ads simply ran at great expense to the political parties without a clear call to action to engage online.
This post by Trevor at Park Young is a good overview of the opportunity missed. Also worth checking out is the excellent The Social Election blog the team at Amnesia Razorfish created.
The final standings in our Twitter influence rankings are outlined below. There were no great changes throughout the campaign, but we do like to think we played some small part in getting Julia Gillard to engage.

What do you think about the election? Do you have comments on our research? Do you think social media could have influenced your vote?

Age: 68 December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998
Sign: Sagittarius
Born in: Hoboken, New Jersey
Marital status: Married & Divorced: Barbara Marx, Nancy Barbato, Mia Farrow, Ava Gardner
Occupation: Singer, Writer, Founder of Reprise Records
For decades, Frank Sinatra was simply known as "The Voice," his music and artistry capturing the hearts of millions. As an American singer and motion-picture actor who is often hailed as the greatest American singer of 20th-century popular music, Sinatra launched his journey from humble beginnings to the heights of Hollywood with much controversy. His charismatic and explosive personality made him "bigger than life." Some of his songs became so popular they are now a part of the American lexicon and he was part of the 1960s collection of actors known as the Rat Pack, and is infamously associated with the mob.
Frank's father, Martin, was a tavern owner and part-time prizefighter, and his mother, Natalie—known to all as "Dolly"—was a domineering influence in both local politics and in her son's life and career. By having such a strong upbringing in an eclectic environment he was exposed to a lot more real life situations than his peers. Upon hearing the recordings of Bing Crosby, Sinatra was inspired as a teenager to choose popular singing as a vocation. He joined a local singing group, which, as the Hoboken Four, won a talent competition in 1935 on the popular radio program Major Bowes' Amateur Hour.
Beginning his musical career in the swing era with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, Sinatra became an unprecedentedly successful solo artist in the early to mid-1940s, after being signed to Columbia Records in 1943. Being the idol of the "bobby soxers", he released his first album, The Voice of Frank Sinatra in 1946. His professional career had stalled by the 1950s, but it was reborn in 1954 after he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in From Here to Eternity.
He signed with Capitol Records in 1953 and released several critically lauded albums. Sinatra left Capitol to found his own record label, Reprise Records in 1961, toured internationally, was a founding member of the Rat Pack and fraternized with celebrities and statesmen, including John F. Kennedy. As Sinatra turned 50, he took a more introspective path in his career and further solidified his fame by starring in the Emmy-winning television special Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music, and scored hits with "Strangers in the Night" and "My Way".
With sales of his music dwindling and after appearing in several poorly received films, Sinatra retired for the first time in 1971. Two years later, however, he came out of retirement and in 1973 recorded several albums, scoring a Top 40 hit with "(Theme From) New York, New York" in 1980. Using his Las Vegas shows as a home base, he toured both within the United States and internationally, until a short time before his death in 1998.
His career remains to be of legendary until this day. Frank Sinatra continues to be the role model for aspiring gentleman across the world. We can't help but wish there were more Sinatras and less Biebers.
The Bad Boy Persona
Sinatra's bad boy image began with his infamous 1938 mug shot. The charge? At a nightclub, one of his girlfriends attacked his wife-to-be Nancy and later had Frank arrested twice – once for seduction and again for adultery.
Manufactured Hype
In the 1940s, Frank – or Frankie, as he was then known – became one of America's first teen idols. Not to take anything away from his amazing voice and his ability to excite the female throngs, but the bobbysoxer craze he incited (so called because the coed fans wore Catholic school-style bobby socks, rolled down to their ankles) had a little help. Sinatra's publicist George Evans auditioned girls for how loud they could scream, then paid them five bucks and placed them strategically in the audience to help whip up excitement.
Ducking the Feds
That FBI file had been started by J. Edgar Hoover a few years later after a radio listener wrote to the Bureau, saying, "The other day I turned on a Frank Sinatra program and I thought how easy it would be for certain-minded manufacturers to create another Hitler here in America through the influence of mass hysteria." Sinatra had also been investigated by the FBI for reportedly paying doctors $40,000 to declare him unfit to serve in the armed services.

BOLTON LANDING — There was a lot of warmth between Lt. Gov. Bob Duffy and members of the Business Council last night during the organization's annual dinner at the Sagamore, including Duffy's proclamation that "what we want is a state government that is a partner, not an inhibitor" and a request to "get behind us. Help us."
He spoke at length about the regional economic development councils, whose members were well represented in the room. He also talked about the administration's fiscal record: a budget that didn't raise taxes and a property tax cap.
Then Duffy hinted at what will be a big push next year: a renewed focus on mandate relief. The administration convened a committee to examine state mandates, but its report was scatter-shot and didn't lead to any clear action.
"If things need to change, tell us," Duffy said. "You talk about mandate relief: what are those mandates? Define those mandates specifically because sometimes … some of these 'mandates' are so complex it's difficult for any one person to step in and change, but understanding which ones have the most impact. Sometimes what we have done is put in regulations and charged people, businesses, for things that become revenue enhancers … what would be helpful is getting a top 10 list."

CLEVELAND – They are everywhere the Chicago Cubs go, clad in jerseys bearing the names of Maddux or Banks or Bryant or Farnsworth. Indeed, fans of the game's most downtrodden franchise have always shown out in cities across the major leagues.
But the Cubs' first World Series appearance since 1945 has produced another concept entirely for their fans: Displacement.
With the cheapest ticket for Game 3 at Wrigley Field going for more than $1,500 on the secondary market, Cub fans nationwide quickly turned their eyes six hours to the east and Progressive Field.
Instead of converging at Addison and Russell, they swallowed their pride and struck out for the corner of Ontario and Carnegie – some driving from as far as North Carolina, others deserting Chicago itself to gobble up tickets that were only going for $750 and up for the first two games.
Wednesday night's Game 2 was possibly the final road game for the Cubs this year, capping a playoff run where their fans at times came out in fuller throat than home fans at Dodger Stadium during the National League Championship Series.
During Game 1's 6-0 loss, there was little to cheer about, but the roar of Cub supporters was undeniable as the team put the tying runs on base in the seventh inning. And in Wednesday's Game 2, a lusty "Let's Go Cubs!" chant immediately followed Anthony Rizzo's first-inning RBI double.
"It was great last night to see all the blue," Cubs left fielder Ben Zobrist said Wednesday. "Cub fans all over the stadium - that was really cool. I wish we could have gotten a W for them.
"But yeah, it's always a huge support for the club, knowing there are Cub fans everywhere and they travel to follow us. It's what makes it fun, and makes the motivation high for us to try to win this."
Motivation was the watchword for the thousands of Cubs fans huddled under concourses before Game 2. Patrick Burnside lives in Roselle, a northwest Chicago suburb. He attended Division Series and NLCS games.
For the World Series? His commute went from 30 miles to 375 miles after pricing tickets on StubHub.
"It sucks because I'd been to the last two series," he said Wednesday. "It's annoying I could not afford (Wrigley tickets), but thankfully I came here.
"I've fallen in love with Cleveland people. We're happy for them and that it's not the Yankees or Cardinals. I'm impressed by the city."
Indeed, more than a dozen Cub fans surveyed before Game 2 indicated a kinship with Indians fans, with that franchise carrying a 78-year title drought of its own. The city provided the backdrop for memories for folks like Tom Welter, 66, and his 40-year-old son, Mike. Tom drove more than 500 miles from Dubuque, Iowa to meet Mike, who flew from Portland, Ore.
That was about the same drive for Trinity Watson, who traveled from Canton, Ill., to fulfill a promise to her great aunt that she'd take her to a game when the Cubs finally made the World Series.
Ticket prices in Chicago compelled them to make it a road trip.
"Hell yeah, we would've preferred (Wrigley)," she said from field level seats in Section 118. "But we got two tickets here for less than the cost of one there, and we wouldn't be down here."
And Scott Poore and his father, Roger, flew here instead of Chicago from Florida. They do, however, have a Plan B in mind to get to Chicago after the series shifts: A postgame visit to JACK Cleveland Casino.
"If I hit right at the blackjack table later," he said, "we'll be at Wrigley."

Two teams of Corvettes have just been added, completing the field for the 2011 GT1 World Championship. InRacing.com reported March 19th that the four Corvettes were added to the race later than other cars because they are being used as replacements for the four cars and teams that pulled out of the race at the end of last season.
At the end of 2010, both Maserati teams withdrew, creating an opening for Corvettes to take their places on the grid. According to World GT1 rules, sportscar brands must be represented in a pair of racing teams. This means that four of each sportscar that is represented must race in the GT1 World Championship. The Corvettes join a field of Nissans, Fords, Lamborghinis and Aston Martins, representing a race field of 20 cars.
The two teams of Corvettes will be racing under the banners Exim Bank Team China and DKR Engineering. Teams Hegersport and Vitaphone Racing will not be represented at the race this year due to team drop-outs, although the latter is a GT1 champion team. Mike Hezemans, a regular GT1 racer, will be driving one of the Corvettes for at least a couple rounds.
Swapping out Maseratis for Corvettes isn't the only change for the 2011 GT1 season. Many changes have been made in the drivers on all teams except for team Aston Martin. Swish, Belgian and Munnich racing teams have moved away from the car brands they were previously associated with for the 2011 championship, creating a new field of championship contenders.

Keep Calm and Buy Nothing
The British World War Two slogan 'Keep Calm and Carry On' was already quite popular in North America when I left Montreal, but it is positively everywhere in the UK, in all its forms. I like that the UK organisers of Buy Nothing Day are using the posters' popularity to their advantage. Every year, I like to remind everyone of this anti-consumerist campaign, which falls on November 25th (exactly one month before Christmas!) in North-America, and on November 26th in the rest of the world.
Why is Buy Nothing Day/Christmas so important to me? Because. Over the years, I've become increasingly alarmed by how far we are straying away from the true meaning of Christmas: namely, good will, peace, love and humanity. I am not religious, and I would hardly consider myself a spiritual person, but if anything, I have a deep belief that the winter holidays should be about friends, family, and sharing; not about accumulating a wealth of gifts, nor about spending money on consumer goods we could all do without.
2011 was another hard year, in a long string of bad years. Most of us could really use the extra money that will be spent on gifts. Most of us already have more stuff than we really need. Many of us can't really afford to pay for the gifts we will place under the Christmas tree. I am the first to admit, that despite all my good intentions, I have accumulated more stuff than I can actually make use of in a lifetime. I especially felt it when I had to pack up my life and move to another country a mere two months ago.
The holidays are about giving, but who says that you need to give a physical object? A few alternatives are: giving your time to a charitable organization; making a donation to a cause that is close to your or your recipient's heart; sharing a cherished recipe with someone who enjoys or is beginning to cook; having a friend over for tea. You can find other ideas over here.
The Foodie's Quest is all about food and sustainability, which is why this foodie isn't going to buy anything on the 25th and 26th, and will make this holiday season a waste-free one.
Have a good Buy Nothing Day! And Bon App'!

Ever since I sold my last one, I've regretted it. I've owned two cherokees (a 93 police package and a 99) and loved them both dearly. They both developed electrical problems and due to time, money, and storage limits they had to go.
For about 6 months I've been looking for another one. Jeep stopped making the Cherokee in 2001, so what's out there generally has about 180,000 to 230,000 miles. I've been looking for another 99 due get the best mix of parts interchangeability and reliability, and about three weeks ago decided that if I really wanted an NP242 transfer case, I was just going to have to buy one with the NP231 and swap a 242 in.
That made it really easy to find one in the price range I was looking at:
…And then both the gas heat and the AC compressor went out in the 11 year old HVAC unit the new house had. We had two service companies tell us the unit was bad, and got bids on new units from them and a third company. It was installed yesterday, for almost exactly what I was looking to spend on a Jeep.
Being an adult sucks.

Sun releases management software for virtualised data centres
Text: Sun Microsystems has released xVM Ops Center, a management tool for datacentres using Sun's xVM Server. The supplier of hardware and software announced the release of its own Sun xVM virtualisation platform at Oracle World in mid-November. Both the management tool and the xVM Server are open source software.
The x86 version of xVM Server is based on the free Xen hypervisor, while the SPARC version used Sun's own LDOM (Logical Domains) hypervisor technology. xVM can run Linux, Solaris and Windows guest operating systems. xVM Ops Center runs under Solaris or Linux.
The tool allows server and client systems to be installed automatically and their software to be inventoried and updated, with patch management tools for Solaris, Red Hat and Suse Linux. The list of key functions is rounded out by a system monitoring component and compliance tools.
Sun provides the Ops Center for free under the GPLv3, but also offers a commercial version of the management software with support at a cost of between $100 and $350 per year. For a satellite server subscription including installation and on-location training, Sun charges $10,000. But you will have to wait a bit longer for the xVM Server release. It will be available officially in the second quarter of 2008.

Four Kings

|* Recorded in PATCH 1.05
Four Kings is a Boss in Dark Souls.
Four Kings Information
The wraith-like remnants of the four leaders of New Londo Ruins who fell to dark after being tempted with the art of lifedrain. Defeating the Four Kings is necessary to the plot, and is also necessary for those players wishing to join the Darkwraith covenant. Those wishing to join the covenant must defeat the Four Kings before obtaining the Lordvessel from Anor Londo and talking to Kingseeker Frampt (talking to Kingseeker Frampt prior to obtaining the Lordvessel is permissible).
You can also obtain the Lordvessel and directly go to kill the Four Kings instead of talking to Frampt.
In order to safely survive the Abyss while fighting the Four Kings, all players (host and any summons) must wear the Covenant of Artorias ring prior to entering the Abyss, and keep it on during the entire fight. Removing it at any point will result in death. It is not necessary to wear the ring after the Four Kings are defeated.
Location and Overview
This boss is located at the end of the New Londo Ruins in the Abyss. Despite the name, this boss actually consists of five individual, seemingly identical wraiths, who appear one at a time out of the darkness of the Abyss to fight you. The appearance of each new wraith is timed, so it is important to defeat the current one before the next one appears. If you do, you will have a few moments before the next fight starts in which to heal yourself, reapply buffs, or change equipment. Failure to do so can result in having to fight more than one wraith at a time, which rarely ends well.
As the Four Kings share an overall boss health bar, with sufficient summons assistance or overall damage output, it is possible to deal enough damage to the first three that the fourth King does not actually appear.
The Four Kings are generally considered the most dangerous boss in NG+ and beyond, and as discussed below many strategies have been developed to try to assist players on subsequent playthroughs.
Each King is armed with a formidable sword, magic spells, and a dangerous grab attack. Given the nature of the attacks as discussed below, it is generally better for melee characters to get as close to the King as possible and continue strafing to one side, as this will cause the King to rely mostly on melee attacks in response, many of which will miss or do relatively little damage. Mage characters with low stamina or armor will want to either stay close and rely on dodging, or stay well away in order to employ spells better. The worst thing to do in any case is remain at a middle distance, as this will subject the player to the full array and impact of the King's formidable arsenal of attacks.
- The King's melee attacks with its sword inflict primarily magic damage. The farther away you are from the melee attack, the more damage you will take, so be sure to stay as close to the boss as possible when using melee weapons. Spells or buffs that reduce magic damage, such as Great Magic Barrier or Great Magic Shield are very helpful. His melee attacks generally consist of (1) a pair of horizontal slashes, which must be rolled through, tanked, or blocked, (2) a vertical slice which can be evaded by dodging to the side, or (3) a stab attack which can also be dodged by moving to the side.
- The King may fire off a large homing purple mass that slowly but surely glides to you from the side. This attack can be difficult to avoid once launched, so it is often better to stay at close range to lower the odds it is used in the first place.
It can be avoided by running away. The attack will disappear after about 15 seconds.
- The King may also employ a rare spell attack in which it launches an array of missiles at you in an arc, which also home in on you. They usually do this when you are extremely far away from them. Dodging or blocking with a high magic resist shield can be effective.
- They may also employ an area of effect charge up explosion that causes significant magic damage in front of it. Rolling away is extremely effective.
- They also have a grab attack that deals massive magic damage and also steals one Humanity from you - they do a 360 degree spin prior to performing this attack, giving you the opportunity to back-up sufficiently. Don't confuse it for the Area of Effect, as it has a similar starting animation. Sometimes it is easier to roll behind them. When summoning, note that only the individual king is invincible while performing this; another playing attacking the king will still reduce the overall health of the boss.
Although friendly summons can be helpful in many boss fights, they are very useful against the Four Kings particularly if the summons and host are a mix of melee and caster characters. With such an arrangement, the King will typically focus on sword attacks on the melee character, who should be attacking at close range. This will then free up caster characters to stand off safely and rain spells down on the boss. If you are helping someone fight the Four Kings, an easy way is to equip full Havels, Havels ring (to stay <50% load), Grass Crest Shield, and your strongest weapon (two handed). As soon as the fight starts, charge each King and engage in an all out melee assault. If your health gets low, instead of relying on the host heals or using Heal Miracle, just use a Humanity. With this you will be able to focus on the King without getting interrupted, you shouldn't be getting that much damage, and if you do just heal yourself and keep doing it. Unless the host isn't attacking at all, you should be getting down the boss even before the next one spawns.
The most common places for summoning signs for runs on the Four Kings are on the platforms near the Hollows at the base of the elevator leading down from Firelink Shrine into the New Londo Ruins, and near the Abyss fog gate. Summons should always remember to wear their Covenant of Artorias Ring before entering the Abyss.
NPC Phantom Witch Beatrice:
NPC Witch Beatrice can also be summoned before the fight if the host is in human form. Her sign is located behind a wall just before entering the Abyss. (Note: You must have already summoned her in the Moonlight Butterfly fight in order for her summoning sign to be available here to help you.)
There are often complaints or reports of a "glitch" with NPC Beatrice not entering the Abyss or otherwise not targetting the Four Kings. This is not actually a glitch. When she is summoned, a ghost spawns ABOVE the tower to the Abyss. When you walk through the fog, the ghost will hover and Beatrice, who is NOT cursed and therefore unable to harm the ghost, will senselessly shoot at the ghost to no avail instead of following you. Just kill the ghost, jump down, and Beatrice can be a major help in the battle. Her magic is quite strong, and if nothing else can give you a breather as she can take quite a few hits. Also, if you use her in the battle and she lives, her catalyst and Witch robes will spawn in The Valley of the Drakes, between the entrance to Blighttown and the entrance to New Londo Ruins. (4/6/2013 I just got her items in the valley after she died helping me kill the kings)
In later playthroughs, she practically becomes useless, because the damage she inflicts will be extremely ineffective against them. That, and she dies a lot quicker from their melee attacks than in your first or second playthrough.
New Game+ (and beyond). Of all the powered up bosses in NG+, it is generally held that the Four Kings are the deadliest. Even with high poise and high defense armor, their attacks whittle away at your vitality quickly and they have significantly increased health which can throw off timing and make it difficult to kill one before another appears. Additional tactics in NG+ include equipping either Havel's or Smough's set of armor and having either 2 attunement slots dedicated to Great Magic Barrier or 1 to Great Magic Barrier and 1 to normal Magic Barrier if you don't have 2, or the faith requirement. Equip the most powerful 2 handed weapon in your arsenal and enter the Abyss (a shield with high Magic defense and the Cloranthy ring are also recommended). Upon arrival, cast Great Magic Barrier either when the first King spawns or when you've dispatched him. When it runs out, be sure to recast, not matter if you're taking hits from the swords or not, as the magic that the Four Kings cast is much deadlier than their blades. Heavy Combustion is also recommended for dealing damage along with your weapon of choice. This strategy, along with proper estus application (should have at least 10) is a viable solution for melee builds and only has limited faith requirements.
Additional Tips
- If by any chance you have not killed one of the Kings and another one (or 2-3 more appear), the fight becomes much harder in the process, as they will each start attacking you one by one.
The easiest strategy for Melee fighters is to lock onto one of the Kings that you were fighting earlier and just run around that one King and occasionally swipe at that one King. Doing so will make the attacks of the other King(s) less accurate and will miss you entirely.
- Do not remove the Covenant of Artorias Ring during the fight. Doing so will cause you to fall through the floor and die. This gives the message "The Abyss has taken you."
- However, once you have defeated the Four Kings, you no longer need to wear the ring in order to walk around the Abyss.
- You must still wear the Ring of Artorias if you have defeated the Four Kings and are summoned to help someone against the Four Kings. Since they have not beaten the Four Kings in their world, their Abyss will still take you, whether you have beaten the Four Kings or not.
Alternate Strategies for those who wish to become Darkwraiths at low level:
To become a Darkwraith, you do need to kill the Four Kings before you get the lordvessel in Anor Londo and talk to Kingseeker Frampht in Firelink Shrine. (You could still do it after the lordvessel, but you can't talk to Kingseeker Frampt at all after you get it. You can talk to him all you want before you get the lordvessel.) At higher levels, the Four Kings may be defeated normally as discussed above. Some players, however, may wish to defeat the Four Kings as soon as possible in order to join the covenant. For a low level melee character with a reasonably damaging weapon, an effective approach is to increase your attunement to 10, obtain the Iron Flesh pyromancy, and equip the heaviest armor you have. The strategy is simple: apply Iron Flesh, approach the Kings and strafe as close as you can, and just aggressively attack with a two-handed weapon. Both the zweihander and the claymore are easy to obtain and upgrade early in the game, as is the gravelord sword. When you are very close to the kings almost all of their attacks do very little damage (accept for the huge purple explosion, so watch out for his charge up). Make sure you have upgraded your estus flask to at least +2 or +3 so you can fully heal in one go, and stay as close to them as possible.
Low level mage characters, particularly those with little vitality or stamina, should expect to need the assistance of player summons and/or Witch Beatrice. Obtaining the Magic Shield spell from Griggs can help, and a mage may be able to do some damage with the various soul arrow spells at range. However it is generally easier to rely on summons, while playing defensively and acting as a healing station via Estus flasks. You may wish to first return to the Asylum to obtain the Crest Shield for its high magic resistance, and possibly upgrade it with Twinkling Titanite obtained by trading with Snuggly during the same trip. You can also simply switch over to melee combat for the purposes of the fight, by two-handing the claymore (strength requirement of 16, which should be useable in two hands by even most mage characters), and possibly using more powerful pyromancy attacks or buffs - all of which lack any stat requirements. Iron Flesh combined with Great Combustion can be effective.
Killing Lautrec very early on can help by allowing for use of the Ring of Favor and Protection with its attendant hitpoint and stamina bonuses, and also ensure that Firelink Shrine stays lit so you can bring 10 Estus flasks with you. Doing a quick run into the Catacombs to kill Pinwheel and get the Rite of Kindling can push that up to 20 flasks, which should be more than sufficient even at low levels. Note: if you are trying to upgrade your Estus flask, picking up the Firekeeper Souls in the Parish, Blighttown, and New Londo Ruins will cause Lautrec to kill the Firelink Shrine firekeeper even if you haven't rescued him, talked to him, or even beaten the Gargoyles. So if you want to keep Firelink lit for the purposes of New Londo Ruins trips, kill Lautrec before picking upall three of those Firekeeper souls.
- Bequeathed Lord Soul Shard
- 60,000 souls (patch 1.05)
- 4 Humanity
- Despite being called the 'Four Kings', more than four bosses may spawn if you take too long. You do not have to kill all of them, however; as soon as the boss' main health bar reaches zero, the fight will end regardless of how many kings you've defeated or how many have spawned.
- It is possible to remove the Covenant of Artorias ring and put the Serpent ring (extra souls) between the short animation of the King dying and souls being accounted for, without dying. Doing so on NG+ yields about 244.000 souls.
- If using the Chaos Blade, attacking a king counts as 2 hits (one to the king and one to the boss health bar) and therefore drains 40 health rather than 20.
- Black Iron armor increases your poise by 79 points without sacrificing mobility allowing you to withstand most strikes except for his heavy swing.
General Strategy
The Abyss can be a confusing place to those entering it for the first time. By its nature there are few visual cues as to the direction the player is moving, and it is easy to get disoriented. The first King will not appear instantly, so it is important to continue rotating the camera, as the King may appear from any direction in the shapeless void. It will first appear at a distance, so try to spot it as quickly as you can. If you're not a mage, it's recommended to have good poise and just charge the first King to reduce the likelihood it starts using ranged spells. Continue strafing to one side as close to the King as possible, while repeatedly using your stronger melee attacks. It is generally better to attack rather than try to block, so two handed weapons often work better. Leave yourself just enough stamina to block or roll if you get into trouble, and make sure to top off your life bar whenever it drops below 50 percent. Having 15-20 Estus flasks and your Estus flask upgraded to +5 or higher can make a big difference. You may also have time to use Humanity items during the fight or if you kill each King before the next appears. Quickly try to defeat each King as soon as it spawns, because the constant spawning is on a timer and you can give yourself breathing room between each King if you kill them quickly. Mages may elect to tackle the Kings either at range or up close, but in either situation a good magic resistant shield and dodging ability is recommended.
For NG+ as the kings have an extended amount of health, it can often be difficult for most players to defeat the first king before the appearance of the second, third and fourth kings. Staying within direct melee distance of the king will usually prevent any of the other kings from attacking you until the king you are focused on is dead, wether this is due to the fact that the kings can damage each other or if its just a bug we dont know. It is recommended that you wear a heavy armor (e.g Havel's, Golem, Giant +5 Etc.) and use a two handed weapon, spamming RB / R1 and healing when necessary. At close range the kings only use one attack (excluding the grab attack which is easily dodged) and fortunately the attack they do use is deals the lowest damage of all of their attacks. lower level characters may be unable to do this as the kings do deal a lot of damage overtime and their grab attack proves to be deadly. However a soul level of 170+ garuantees a victory. 100+ is also quite easy.
For Casters:
To save on casts you should attempt to run through the level to the boss without fighting enemies. Starting from Firelink, go down the lift to the New Londo Ruins and make sure the water has been lowered. Right as you get off the last bridge before the first ghosts take a diagonal right and fall off the cliff to the floor below. You will see before you fall that down below is the shallow pool area up ahead from where you will drop. From your drop head towards the shallow pool area and then to the right exit from the pool. You will have to run past one darkwraith knight (or kill him with 1 CHSM to make the next part easier). From the right exit of the shallow pool look to the left and notice a small staircase leading up to an entrance of a bigger fortress structure. This is where it can get tricky. If you have the Grass Crest Shield or other stamina regeneration items it can be useful for this one part. From the bottom of the stairs you need to sprint through the entrance past the ghosts (that you won't see) and between two darkwraiths on the left and right of you, navigating and jump rolling through them to get to the exit on the LEFT side. While still running, dodge past the last ghost and quickly go through the fog wall where you are almost safe, ghosts can move almost entirely through the fog wall and have long range melee attacks that can hit you. Move down a the stairs a bit to get out of range. Don't forget to switch your rings! You should also switch your pyro and your catalyst to your main-hand and a good stable shield on your off hand. All in all, spam the kings fast and hard while protected and anticipate when your shield is going to run out so you can recast. You could even time the duration of the spell with the lingering dragon crest ring and use a stopwatch if you are efficient enough. Also try not to get grabbed by the kings because it lessens the amount of time you can spam your casts.
It is also possible to run down to the entrance to the Abyss by way of the otherwise seldom used bonfire at the bottom of Darkroot Basin (closest to the Hydra, in a tunnel near a black knight with a halberd). Lowering the water causes it to drain out into Valley of the Drakes through the now opened doors. From that bonfire, head up the tunnel and take the lift down to Valley of the Drakes, and sprint through the assembled drakes across the bridge into the lower New Londo ruins. From there you may make your way to the Abyss tower relatively easily, and without dealing with many ghosts.
Mage Strategy 1:
If you have the greater magic shield spell you'll take little or no damage even from the Kings, particularly if using a powerful shield such as the Greatshield of Artorias. Other good options are the Crest Shield, or a Giant's Shield upgraded along the Magic upgrade path (which increases its magic block percentage). This is critical for caster type characters with little endurance and vitality. Working strategies include equipping the Lingering Dragoncrest Ring for longer duration of the Strong Magic Shield and spamming the Kings with Homing Crystal Soul Mass and as many other spells that you can fit. Homing Crystal Soulmass, Soul Spear (and crystal), Great Combustion, Great Chaos Fireball, Great Fireball, and any other spells you think might be good for DPS use them. Iron flesh is not recommended for mages because Great Magic Shield virtually cancels out every attack they throw at you (even the grab AND without your shield being up) and casting Iron Flesh will waste time and cut mobility which you may need when you need to back up and recast Great Magic Shield.
Mage Strategy 2:
For casters this boss is relatively easy, usually you can do enough damage to kill off the bosses before you have to worry about fighting multiple Kings at once. A shield is recommended, but you won't need any Magic Shield spells. Pick a shield with as high a magic reduction as you can find, the Crystal Ring Shield or the Crest Shield are good options. Learn to dodge all of the Kings slashing physical attacks, his two horizontal slash combo is the most dangerous since if you don't dodge the first one the second one will almost certainly hit you. For most casters that is enough to damage to kill you. The other physical attacks are a vertical slice and a stab attack, dodging side-to-side easily evades these. The King's magical attacks are extremely difficult or impossible to dodge, one is a slow moving homing purple thing that does large damage and the other is an AOE explosion. Those are the things that should be blocked with your shield, and even the 10%-15% damage that gets through might require you to use a flask as soon as possible. Do not ignore the slow moving purple spell, it will never stop chasing you so it is best to put your shield up and move toward it to get rid of it. When you see the King charge up for an AOE attack, get ready to block it. Blocking the physical attacks are a waste of stamina, especially if your a caster who hasn't invested many points in Endurance. After dodging BOTH the horizontal slashes or any of the other ones it is time to cast spell(s) or use a flask. Don't hold back your spells, and remember overkill on one King will affect the total Boss HP remaining so using your most powerful spells first is recommended. You shouldn't have much trouble killing the Kings before multiple ones spawn as they are not particularly resistance to magic. Note that you should stay far enough away from the boss to avoid his humanity draining grab attack, which should not be hard for spell casters.
For Melee:
Equip armor that will leave you mobile and able to move quickly, and do not be afraid to charge one of the Four Kings. Get as close to him as you can, and start hacking away with whatever your most powerful weapon is, preferably with lighter, quick attack animation weapons, like swords, the hand ax, etc. Even if they hit you with their melee attack, there is a good chance that they will bash you with their hilt, which causes substantially less damage. By quickly attacking one at a time, you will limit the amount you will fight, as more are summoned throughout the fight. They appear to have some weakness to fire, like many undead, so a fire weapon may be a good choice. Using the Grass Crest Shield, Mask of the Child, and/or Cloranthy Ring will help with the fight. The extra stamina recovery ensures you can focus on attacking without worrying that you will be unable to preform a roll to escape. If you're confident about not getting hit by any physical damage, you can try using simple magic resistant cloth gear.
Timing is the critical factor in determining whether you will survive. The sword slashes are easily dodged due to the slow attack animation, and due to the fact that even if you don't perfectly time the dodge, the height difference may cause them to miss the attack. The glowing sphere is dodged by moving away from the caster, running or a few quick rolls will suffice, because despite the large animation, the attack itself doesn't have huge range. The blasts encountered by the Four Kings is by far the more difficult attack to evade. Due to the darkness of the Abyss, it is difficult to roll through because your depth perception is thrown off. One way to help with this is to stop locking on, and focus on dodging the blast. As you see it coming, quickly run to the side of it and then roll very quickly. With some practice, you can evade the explosion of the attack just before it hits, and the attack will still explode. His grab attack is more damaging than his regular melee strikes, but shouldn't kill a well armored target. His grab isn't difficult to dodge, but during your first few fights, it may be difficult to tell what attack he may try using.
The real key to this strategy is focusing on one King at a time. Individual wraiths can be brought down once they take enough damage, which obviously limits the difficulty and what other wraiths may be doing. For the most part, dealing enough damage quickly limits the amount of ghosts from two or three, and by the time you get the Four Kings of New Londo down to low health, you should be able to do a final combo of hits to bring him down. Limit your time not locked on, as its easy to lose the ghost you were fighting if you keep trying to evade everything. Focus on beating down one by one. Also don't panic about your back being turned to some of the Four Kings, just pivot your character and try to face the majority of them, then you can see what they are planning.
Power Within Rush
This aggressive strategy revolves around using the Pyromancy Power Within. You can check out where to get it here. This Pyromancy will allow you to get a substantial buff to your damage (around 40%), at the cost of having your health constantly drained. If you have high Vitality this is an ideal strategy for your character. Take your Pyro Flame and cast Power Within as soon as you reach The Abyss. For the next 100 seconds you'll be under its effect so it is of crucial importance to make the most out of it, that's why it's recommended to take some Green Blossoms with you to help with Stamina recovery. The faster you recover your stamina, the more swiftly you can deal damage. Grass Crest Shield also helps serving this purpose. If you have it, you can equip it and then two-hand your weapon for extra damage while getting the Stamina recovery boost just by having the shield on your back. It's also advisable to stay under 50% equip burden.
Do NOT worry about defending, blocking or rolling, just stay as close as you can to those kings and whack away no matter what they do. With your high vitality and while under the effects of Power Within if you stay close to them you won't have to worry about the damage, just heal when your hp is getting below 25%. Use your strongest weapon and make sure you're two-handing it. When you're not healing you're attacking. Stay aggressive at all times. The only move that's worth trying to dodge is the humanity grab, and only because of it's long animation time. Usually the King will do a 360 degree spin before going for the grab.
Melee strategy:
The way I killed the four kings was simple. Equip Havel's armour and Havel's Greatshield . Then equip the highest DPS weapon you have. I chose the Gravelord Sword +3 and kept spamming heavy attack. I used the covenant of Artorias ring (Duh) and the Ring of Steel Protection. Just Tank the damage and keep hitting. When the first one dies keep hitting to get more damage. My stats were 30 vitality 15 Endurance 27 strength and 15 Dexterity. The high hp should help the tanking. For a easier time, you can use some pyromancies (depending if you use some) . After a couple tries you should have killed them. Say hi to Kaathe for me !!

Be Different. Be Amazing. Be You.
"Perfectionism may look good in his shiny shoes, but he's a little bit of an asshole and no one invites him to their pool parties." - Ze Frank
Ahhh. Always working towards perfectionism, yet things are never perfect. Isn't that where we all find ourselves at times? I loved finding this quote by Ze Frank. As much as I see myself as an aspiring perfectionist, I still want to get invited to the pool parties. Don't you?
Whether you're planning the perfect vacation or have a goal to be a perfect 10 in a swimsuit by June 30, keep in mind that sometimes the harder we try to achieve perfection, the farther away it becomes.
Who Is Ze Frank?
If you're not familiar with Ze Frank I think you'll like him. Ze is a totally creative individual that made history with an online birthday invitation he made of himself doing funny dance moves. You can watch them here.
He sent the invite to 17 of his closest friends. Somehow the invitation generated millions of hits. Ze's web site won the Webby Award for Best Personal Website in 2002. Ze is the inventor of The Scribbler.
In 2006 he created an internet show, somewhat akin to Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" only just called "The Show", that lasted exactly one year. Ze is now back with a new show called, "A Show" that will 'air' on the internet three times a week and is scheduled to start this year. Here's the promo for "A Show":
I Have Some Questions
I'm fascinated with the Ze Frank story but I have a couple of questions:
- Is Ze a genius? I don't know.
- Is he incredibly creative? Definitely.
- How is it that he put some silly dance moves on the world wide web back in 2001 and it turned into a career? I wish I knew.
- What does he have that most of us don't? In a word, courage. He's not afraid to try something even though it's possible he'll look silly or be a fail.
What are you afraid of? That you won't be able to say no to the M&Ms in the M&M dispenser in the office next door or the pizza buffet that you and your friends go to every Friday night? That if you miss one morning workout at the gym it will be a year before you to go back? Or you'll meet the man (woman) of your dreams and screw it up somehow?
I harbor all of these (and more) fears too. The anxiety over all of the possible ways I might mess things up creeps into all aspects of my life and it keeps me from taking chances and from being as awesome as I can be. But when I see someone like Ze who is totally comfortable in his own uniqueness it helps me step out a little farther on my own limb, have the courage to try something different and seek to be amazing in some way even if I'll never be perfect.
So why am I so fascinated with Ze? He's like a breath of fresh air. Nothing is perfect. No one is perfect. Perfection is highly overrated. The important things in life are family, friends, good health and invitations to the pool parties. Be different and be amazing. Be you. And don't worry about being perfect.
Thanks to Copyblogger for introducing me to Ze Frank who became my inspiration this week.

People struggle to get through the overcrowded Suva bus stand to find their way to their buses. Picture: JOVESA NAISUA
MANY concerns have been continuously raised on bus services in Fiji, says aspiring independent candidate Roshika Deo.
Ms Deo said issues such as overcrowding of buses, bus drivers failing to wait for passengers to sit before moving, buses with loud music and buses that do not follow their schedules have been raised during her community outreach programs.
"A well-managed, resourced and safe public transport system is critical for mobility, accessibility and environmental sustainability," Ms Deo said.
She said while bus conditions had vastly improved from previous years, there were still some buses whose conditions raised serious safety issues.
"Our buses also need to become disability and elderly friendly, including having garbage disposals through upgrading of the buses and relevant infrastructure.
"Bus infrastructure in our country is lacking considerably. Having a quality and comprehensive bus infrastructure improves quality of services and safety of passengers. The safety of our people is paramount, and so is our accessibility and mobility."
Social Democratic and Liberal Party director of communications Jese Sikivou said governments had an obligation to invest in infrastructures such as roads and bridges.
"One does not have to spend a long time on Fiji roads to encounter a bus spewing smoke from its exhaust pipe and that is fair comment on the condition of buses in general and the industry as a whole," Mr Sikivou said.
"Based on a per capita basis comparison with other developing countries, SODELPA would have to conclude the general condition of buses and the bus infrastructure in this country is completely unacceptable and unsafe, given the very crucial role buses play in the economic life of our country."
Questions sent yesterday to FijiFirst, Fiji United Freedom Party, National Federation Party, Fiji Labour Party and the People's Democratic Party remained unanswered.

The Greatest Musician Ever?
Okay, I admit the title is subjective, and even a little hyperbolic, but when you watch the video below, you might be grudge a little of my hyperbole. I was doing the ol' cruise around the interweb, and, as many a web cruiser eventually does, I ended up visiting YouTube. So, looking for something different, I typed in "strange instruments," and hit enter and the below video entitled "Unusual World Instruments," was the first non-advertisement video there. Of course I clicked and watched it, and after seeing Randy Raine-Reusch play the following instruments:
Thai khaen, Appalachian dulcimer, Chinese hulusi, Chinese bawu, Chinese dizi, Chinese xun, Thai (Lisu) naw (hulusheng in China), Malaysian (Kayan) selingut, Hawaiian one hano ihu, Indian pungi, Egyptian midjweh, Vanuatu shark mouth flute, Indonesian (Sunda) suling, Slovakian Koncovka, Chinese (Uighur, Xinjiang Province) satar, Chinese (Uighur, Xinjiang Province) dutar, Czech platerspiel, Vietnamese dan nguyen, Thai (Lanna) seung, Ugandan ekidongo, ennenga or adunga, Thai (Lanna) pin pia, Kenyan nyatiti, Vietnamese koni, Vietnamese bro, South African chipendani, Bengali ektara, Persian ney, Philippine kubing, Lao (Hmung) gaeng, Chinese (Miao) kouqin, Australian didjeridu, Nigerian (Birom) yomkwo, Malaysian (Bidayuh) kiromboi (snail shells), Canadian North West cedar whistle, American (Plains people) courting flute, USA triple ocarina, Malaysian (Iban) engkulurai, Jewish shofar, Indian conch, Bengali khomok, Mexican ocarina, Vietnamese (Ede) ding tac ta, Ghana aslatua, Ivory Coast ahoco, and finally the Ghanian alghaita.
All of which he seems to demonstrate that he actually knows how to play well, and with what appears to be the music of where the instruments originate, then I thought, "Is this guy the greatest musician ever?" I'll leave that up to others to argue, but it is impressive none-the-less. Oh, and by the way, those are just a portion of the 700 world instruments that Mr. Raine-Reusch owns, and I am guessing he can play all of them. Without further ado, here is the video, enjoy:
