Founding Father James Madison was President of the United States from 1809 to 1817. John Douglas Hall portrays President James Madison as though the year was 1811 rather than 2011.
He discusses current events from 200 years ago including events that would lead to the war of 1812, shipping and trade conflicts with France and England, problems with the National Bank and cabinet appointments.

Once the front wheels have been adjusted to point straight ahead and parallel to the centerline, we need to align the right side tire contact patches. We do this by using our laser systems as described in the user manuals for each system.
Adjust the panhard or J-bar length so that the right side tire contract patches are inline, or if your desire is to offset these, set the desired amount. This means that we will either have both right side tires lined up or at least know what our offset is. For stock classes using rear suspensions that are not adjustable, you will need to run different offset wheels to achieve right side tire alignment.
When using either the string method or the lasers at hub height, we need to compensate for the camber of the wheels, which moves the tire contact patches out. At the hub height, if we line up the tire sidewalls, the RF tire contact patch will be outside that line due to the negative camber present in the RF wheel. The rear wheel may also have camber due to a cambered rearend or just the stagger.
Look at the chart to estimate how much to compensate for the cambers. Subtract the compensation amount from the offset read at the wheels to find how far from the string the wheels need to be in order to line up the right side tire contact patches.
As we adjust the rearend side to side, there is a possibility that the rearend alignment will change as the rearend moves laterally. That is why we do the right side alignment first. We will now need to check to make sure the rearend is perpendicular to the chassis centerline and if not, adjust it.
Once the right side tire contact patch alignment has been done, we can then square the rearend. The rear end should always be set perpendicular to the centerline of the car. We do this with the strings by creating a line that is perpendicular to the centerline we have already established. Using a simple 3-4-5 right triangle with the lengths doubled, we can measure off the centerline to establish our line to measure to the rearend.
When using the laser systems, follow the manufacturer's guidelines for doing that. The lasers will accurately measure the alignment referencing the chassis centerline.
The last step in the alignment process it to set the static toe at the front wheels. We can use toe plates to do this or the laser systems. Remember to be careful and accurate and do the measurements several times to be sure of the numbers. I usually just adjust the left side tie rod to set toe and leave the right side alone. You can use both if you want.
Roll the car forward and back about 5 feet and recheck the toe setting. As the car settles, the overall measurements may change, but the differences should remain the same. Remember that for toe-out, the front measurement will always be more than the rear measurement on the toe plates. If you are using a string or laser to check your toe-out, the opposite is true. The front measurement from the laser/string would be less than the rear measurement. I know one crew chief/car owner that got this backwards too many times.
An additional step you might consider is to align the drive line components. This means the transmission tail shaft—to driveshaft—to pinion shaft angles. The driveshaft needs some angle in relation to the tranny and pinion in order to load and rotate the needle bearings in the universal joints, but this angle can be small, at 1 to 2 degrees.
Also, the angles at each end of the driveshaft need to be equal and opposite. This provides good harmonics and if this is out of range, serious vibrations and failure of components can result.
Also remember that some cars are constructed so that from a top view, there is miss-alignment between the transmission and the pinion, especially for offset chassis. If this is enough to provide the equal and opposite angles we need, then the side view angles can be zero. The tranny, driveshaft and pinion can therefore be inline.
This whole process of aligning your car should only take about an hour or two if there are several team members helping. That is very little effort expended to make sure your car will track correctly and that misalignment will not interfere with your car's performance. Even if the process took a whole day, your performance improvement will make the time spent well worthwhile.
Repeat this entire process as often as you feel necessary and especially after kissing the wall or being involved in contact with another car or being involved in a crash. Maintain your intended chassis ride heights once you have performed the chassis alignment process. Once you are convinced that your car is aligned, you can then concentrate on the other important aspects of your chassis setup.

Superstorm Sandy Lessons: 100% Uptime Isn't Always Worth It

As a lifelong New Yorker who left the center of the known universe to move to Santa Fe, NM just a month ago, and the author of more than a few IT disaster recovery plans, I've obsessed over the news of the damage caused by superstorm Sandy up and down the East Coast. While much of what I've read has been well reported, I'm annoyed by some of what's come across my desk.

Most people are familiar with Pandora, the music discovery service based on the Music Genome Project. Fewer people (including myself) have followed the evolution of CBS-owned LastFM. Originally known for their iTunes plugin called "AudioScrobbler", the idea of LastFM is to suggest music based on what other people listen to.

I like the idea of "NrMe" -- a place where users on the iPhone can chat based on location. Specifically, NrMe shows posts within a certain 9 block geo location. The idea, in theory at least, is that you can get information about clubs, bars etc...

Nail polish of the day posts, reviews, tips, and tutorials!
01 8 / 2012
Caviar nails round two!
This time, I used Loreal's #530 "Now You Sea Me" (two coats) and silver microbeads purchased at the craft store.
I love the simplicity of this look, with just a small pop of detail on the ring finger.

My first attempt at saran wrap nails!
This is super easy to do, if you haven't already seen a tutorial for it. You simply paint your nails a base color (I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Sun Kissed) and let it dry completely.
Next, you paint over the base color with your second color (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in #390 Binding Blue) and immediately scrunch up a piece of saran wrap and press it into the wet polish to achieve the sponged look.
Finally, finish it off with a topcoat! Pictured here I used a gloss topcoat, but I also tried it with a matte topcoat and that looked really good as well.
It's definitely a fun look for summer and a great way to experiment with different color combinations!

I have absolutely been loving the tribal print trend and I think it's especially fun for summertime!
For this look, I used:
Sonia Kashuk #29 "Purparazzi", CQ #466 "Purple Passion" & Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear #04 "Blue Me Away!" in addition to my black Sally Hansen nail art pen and my Kiss nail art brush in white.
I based my design off of this tutorial: http://pinterest.com/pin/93238654755751918/
And voila! Gorgeous summery tribal nails!

Mint green and gold is officially one of the most fabulous combinations ever.
This look is super easy and fun to do, but there are a few tips to follow for success.
I began by applying three coats of Revlon's "Mint". I let this dry for a few hours so that I was sure it was completely dry.
Next, I used two pieces of scotch tape, with the corners meeting in the middle of my nail. Something really important is that you want to cut the ridged edge off of the tape from where you tore it off so that it's completely smooth.
I then painted one coat of Orly "Rage" on the two exposed triangles of my nail.
I advise you to work one nail at a time, that way you can peel the tape off immediately, that way it won't dry and it will come off smooth.
Lastly, I used my LA Color Club nail art polish in "Gold" to outline the triangles. This is optional, but I think it gives it a more finished look, as well as hiding any tiny imperfections from where you tore the tape off!
Finish with a topcoat, and voila!

I love this look. It's so great for summertime- bright, eye-catching, and sparkly!
Thumb, middle finger & ring finger- Revlon Top Speed Fast Dry Nail Enamel in 405 "Peachy", 3 coats.
Thumb & ring finger- China Glaze Capitol Colors Collection "Luxe and Lush", 2 coats.
Pointer finger & pinky- Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri "Peachy Breeze"- 2 coats.
05 5 / 2012
Sally Hansen's "Blue Me Away!"- 2 coats
Revlon's "Blue Mosaic"- 2 coats on thumb and ring finger.
I think this is super fun and bright for summer and would be a great look for the beach! "Blue Me Away!" is a bright, electric blue color that is still one of my all time favorite polishes. Great opacity in 2 coats. "Blue Mosaic" is a gorgeous multi-dimensional glitter with blue, silver, and green confetti.

Nmap Development
mailing list archives
1) Random updater improvement mostly focused on the options. Set up an
update server on a nmap server for testing.
2) Redid the dual mode of ncat to be a lot more solid of a design as
well as a lot cleaner. Implemented it in a branch for -l, -l -u,
--broker, --proxy. All these modes will listen on in6addr_any and
INETADDR_ANY by default unless you pass them a -6,-4 or a specific
hostname to listen on. If you pass them a port they still listen on both
IPV4 and IPV6 but will use that port instead of the default port for
3)Also made the default nmap af be AF_UNSPEC instead of AF_INET4 which
allows stuff like ncat ::1 and ncat localhost to work without forcing
you to use a -6 or -4 tag. It also simplifies the handling of -4 and -6
a fair bit in the code.
1) Post the branch diff onto nmap-dev or show it to david.
2) Possibly implement --chat mode and fix the IPV4 client to IPV6 server
3) See if I can knock out a bunch of the udp expected fails since I'm
touching the code already.
4) Meeting with David.
5) Test the updater modes more carefully. I think the options work but I
haven't done enough testing with them to make sure they don't fail.

I was at the supermarket yesterday and was dumb founded that SwissCheese is expensive as hell. A pack of American singles goes for about $2.50 at the local supermarket while a pack of Swiss goes for over 4 bucks! I didn't go to a fancy college, or any college at all for that matter, but isn't it obvious that Swiss cheese should be the cheapestkind of cheese? Just think of all those holes, it's less cheese per piece.
Think about it. One piece of swiss cheeese proably has only 3/4 the amount of cheese as any other kind of cheese. It's an outrage, and I'm pissed off about it. People always talk about how the Swiss are so great, how their chocolate is so tasty and how they're a neutral nation that doesn't take any side during a war. Well of course not! They're too busy living it up on all of their cheese profits that they scam out of the rest of the world to actually take time out of their day to pickup a rifle and head to battle.
So what good are the Swiss if they can't back you up in battle? Well, they do make the Swiss Army Knife, which I imagine was originally crafted to give cheesemakers more flexibility in the types of holes they could cut.
Look at all those tools. Imagine how many holes they've cut over the years. With a weapon like that, it's a good thing they're neutral!
And don't think I'm just mad about cheese. I've also noticed that skimpy lingerie is just as expensive as any other piece of clothing. I don't have a girlfriend or anything, but I do get the Victorias Secretcatalogue and I know that that stuff costs a lot of money. In fact, alot of the clothes at Victorias Secret are comprised of very littlematerial, yet for whatever reason, people continue to shop there. It's outrageous! And I know what you're all thinking so let me pre-emptively answer your questions right now. Yes, I myself have ordered some lingerie from Victorias Secret. And yes, I'm a male. And yes, I wearthe lingerie I purchase. And no, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Sometimes I want to feel sexy too, and the last time Ichecked, that's not considered a crime.
Anyways, I'm off on a tanget here. Oh yes, the cheese. The hole-ycheese. All I can say is that there's nothing holy about paying a 30%premium for a food that's 25% missing. Now put that in yer pipe andsmoke it ya hooligan.

VLOG: The top 10 things I've learned since becoming a mom 10 weeks ago…
I know….it's a long vlog…sorry. But I think if you're having a baby or at least considering it, it's worth checking out what I've learned and wish I knew beforehand.
And if you're not having a baby anytime soon, it's also worth checking out so you can catch a glimpse of little Mia. See it's a vlog for everyone!
Thanks to those that sat through it…you guys are my faves ;)
Getting things off my chest…
For starters, let's just say that I don't want to make this post pro or against breastfeeding. That's not the point and actually, I think we all should stop making that the main issue.
As women, we should support each other in whatever choices we make. I believe that, for the most part, women are trying to do the best they can when it comes to their kids…and although we might not all always agree, we shouldn't go around making each other feel bad about the different choices. So whether you chose to breastfeed till 2 years or non at all, the choice (and I support it) is yours!

The Do's and Don'ts of Preggo Talk
So…as I reach the end of my pregnancy, I am reaching my level of tolerance for the comments that I hear on a daily basis. Most of the time, people are genuinely happy and sweet with their words, but you'd be surprised how often I have encountered less than stellar words from people…which leads me to this post, here are just my personal thoughts on what you can and can't say to a pregnant women:
(by the way, this picture below is me yesterday…showing off the bump and proud!)

I know, I know…I'm totally late to this rage, jumping on the bandwagon after it's already left, missing the boat by a mile but alas, I have finally truly immersed myself in the world of Instagram. I had a Blackberry (don't judge) until recently and Instagram doesn't work with it…so after much deliberation and mediation (I kid), I left the Blackberry world and joined the Android peeps. And with that leap of technology, I could truly get into the whole Insta-mania scene. So, just in case you're on Instagram (I mean, who isn't?), you can follow me here and see random pictures of Miami, myself in the mirror, my doggies and my shoes…yeah, it's that fun to follow me ;)

Classy and fabulous means being smart
I swear this post will be short and sweet since it doesn't really pertain to fashion although I happen to think it's very chic to be smart…but what I really want to remind all of you is that tonight is the first of the Presidential Debates between current President Barack Obama and Republican candidate Governor Mitt Romney. I won't sit here and tell you who to vote for because that is not what this is all about…I just would urge you to watch the debate and get informed. The most fabulous accessory any of us can have is knowledge…there is nothing better than a beautiful, classy, intelligent woman…and that has to come from us. It's not something that can be purchased…it's something we chose to give ourselves. So be informed, read about politics, listen to the debates, make educated decisions and get involved where you can because the future is really ours to make…so let's be smart and make it good.
Once Upon A Time…
in a time long, long ago…okay, maybe not that long ago but exactly 5 years ago to the date…there once was a Princess in Paris…preparing to marry her Prince Charming.
I can't believe how fast the time has gone but I remember the day perfectly well.
I arrived to our room at the George V in Paris to get ready. I had butterflies in my stomach but for all the right reason..here I was, in the city of love, hours away from marrying the love of my life. And thus my fairy tale was truly beginning… Continue reading
Technology and I are not friends
Needless to say, I have been on the phone, been emailing, tweeting, forum-ing, screaming at my hubby (poor guy) and shouting even at the computer (it's always to blame)….and not one of those things have done anything except make me even angrier….so now I have tossed in the towel and said "it is what it is"…and with that, I am keeping my finger (and toes) crossed that things will work out soon (they will, right????).
Until then…there is nothing a good cocktail can't fix and I thank you all for being patient and hanging in there while all these issues get worked out.
Let's discuss some social graces, shall we?
This post is actually about all the social media ways we can stay together…and okay, it's a little bit of a shameless plug for you to follow my new Facebook page, but at least I'm honest about my motives.
Anyway, I thought this was a good time to shed some light to all my handles, links, profiles, and sites…and of course, please leave me all your info in the comment box…because there is nothing better than staying in touch with all you fabulous peeps!

Americans love shrimp! We eat 4.1 pounds of it every year. But you might want to think twice next time you pick up a bag of frozen shrimp at the grocery store. It turns out that the process of getting shrimp into those convenient frozen packages wreaks havoc on the environment. Farmed shrimp are pumped with chemicals that end up in people's bodies, and shrimp cultivation can render huge swaths of the sea into barren wastelands for decades. Wild shrimp aren't any better, as harvesting them kills droves of other sea animals in the process.
Farmed shrimp are raised in pools on the coast, where the tide can refresh the water and carry waste out to the sea. But according to Treehugger, these ponds are prepared with heavy doses of chemicals, such as urea, superphosphate and diesel. Then the shrimp receive pesticides, antibiotics, piscicides, sodium tripolyphosphate, borax and caustic soda. In addition, shrimp farmers have permanently destroyed an estimated 38 percent of the world's mangroves to create these shrimp ponds. Treehugger's Stephen Messenger wrote last year, "it takes five square miles of cleared mangrove forest to produce just over two pounds of shrimp — and that land is typically left depleted within 10 years and rendered unusable for another forty."
Wild shrimp don't fare any better when it comes to the environment. Harvesting wild shrimp is usually done by using deep-sea trawlers, which kill 5 to 20 pounds of "bycatch" (unwanted species accidentally scooped up by the trawler's net) for every pound of shrimp. That's like bulldozing an entire section of the rainforest to catch one single species of bird. The bycatch can include animals like sharks, rays, starfish, juvenile red snapper, and sea turtles among others. Jill Richardson tells us in her article "Shrimp's Dirty Secrets: Why America's Favorite Seafood is a Health and Ecological Nightmare" that while shrimp trawl fisheries only represent 2 percent of the global fish catch, they are responsible for over one-third of the world's bycatch.
With both farmed and wild shrimp in question, what kind of shrimp is good to eat? Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of options. Some wild pink shrimp from Oregon and spot prawns from British Columbia are certified by the Marine Stewardship Council, but are not widely available. The best option, which is a tough one, is to just stop eating shrimp at this point.

She has three world titles under her belt, but Lisa Sthalekar believes women's cricket on the whole still has a long way to go
Interview by Abhishek Purohit
October 10, 2012
Lisa Sthalekar, who won her third world title with Australia on Sunday in Colombo, is one of the foremost allrounders the women's game has seen. She has also been among the voicesin cricket to open up about their battle with depression. ESPNcricinfo spoke to Sthalekar about how difficult it still is for women cricketers, given so many still need to hold full-time jobs, and how passion is their chief motivator.

Features : 'Women's cricket is on the way up'
Reviews : A brave but incomplete story
Players/Officials: Lisa Sthalekar
Series/Tournaments: ICC Women's World Twenty20
Teams: Australia
As someone who has won so much, how does this title feel?
Each title and each win in a World Cup is very special. You don't get to play very many in your life. I have been fortunate enough to win. This is my third. Each time it is with a different group of players. It is really special to win it with that group.
You have spoken about women's cricket being in a semi-professional state, where the demand for results is increasingly getting harder on you. How difficult is it to achieve results?
We have been training really hard. The girls have put in a lot of effort. We came to Sri Lanka about a month and a bit ago to get used to the conditions. Thankfully Cricket Australia put the money in towards that and you can see the results have spoken loudly. We are at a point where there is a lot of cricket to be played, which is what we want as players. Obviously there is a juggling act to be done for those who are studying or are working full-time jobs. At the moment we are quite happy to sacrifice all those things when you win a World Cup, and this is why we play the game of cricket.
How difficult is it practically, considering you work full-time as well?
I work for Cricket New South Wales and over the next six-seven months, I have got 56 working days that I need to take off. My boss, David Thompson, is very pleased that I am representing my country and willing to juggle a few things. I think we are getting to a point where we have got to weigh it up - do we play more cricket, and if that is the case, financially we need the girls to be able to pay their rent and most other things… or, is this the right amount of cricket? That is for the administrators to figure out.
Women's cricket is an untapped market. To have the game [the final] go down to the last over, the last ball, 140-odd runs, shows we are playing some pretty exciting cricket. I think the crowd are enjoying it as well.
The response from the crowd when you all ran out to the other side of the ground. For me, that was the moment of the tournament.
Yeah, to have these curtain-raisers really builds the profile. Thanks to the ICC for making sure that happens, and also the broadcasters. Also, it would be interesting to see how many people came in during the last innings because I felt out there in the field that they were cheering every run and every stop and every wicket. So they were appreciating good cricket, and that is what we want to do.
You have been very honest about a lot of stuff, including depression, in your book. How big is this achievement in that perspective, since you have been through a lot in your career?
To actually write a book is never something I thought I would do. It was quite cathartic to go through and look back at my career. As a player and also off the field, I have had some difficulties - losing my mother to breast cancer. That has allowed me to put things in perspective. Obviously, I love this game and I am very passionate, but it is also just a game as well. I don't take things for granted. I have learnt some hard lessons along the way, and maybe in writing the book, I have helped some young cricketer along the way.
|"You look at this Australian team, there are a lot of girls from New South Wales I have coached at a young age, and to be playing alongside them and now to class them as some of my best friends is really special for me"
How hard is it to go along largely on passion? There must have been days where it would have all felt like too much?
Oh yes, there are days when you question what you are doing. But like I said, I have had three moments now where I have been able to win a World Cup, and I wouldn't change anything for the world.
I have seen a lot of players give up the game before their time because of career, or the fact that they were missing time away from family or their partners. It is sad to see those players not reach their potential in cricket. But everyone has a choice to make.
Has it ever reached that stage for you?
No, I am still here. There have been points in my career where I have questioned when is the right time to go, when is the right time to retire. I am still passionate. I get white-line fever every time I cross the line. I love the contest of the game. I love playing against opponents and trying to out-think them. That is why I keep playing.
Honestly, the friends I have within the team… you look at this Australian team, there are a lot of girls from New South Wales I have coached at a young age, and to be playing alongside them and now to class them as some of my best friends is really special for me.
With the kind of rewards that the men get in comparison, how large do you think your achievement is?
It is very hard to compare us with the men. The guys play and train 11 months of the year. I don't know how they do it. I got an experience week before coming here, training with the guys. There is a lot of downtime and you are away from family. I don't begrudge them for anything that they do and how much money they get. They play some wonderful cricket. T20 cricket has really set the world on fire and good luck to them. We are trying to build our brand of women's cricket. Both England and Australia are producing quality matches every time we get together.
Doesn't it help that the men are focused on just one task, cricket?
Yeah, but maybe we have got a life balance. That is the other way to look at it. Cricket is one aspect of our lives. It might take the majority of time but we still have time to have a career. Lots of the girls study, which is really great, because at the end of the day, cricket is not going to pay our bills. That probably allows us to be balanced, and we train hard when we are there because we don't have a lot of spare time.
Would you take this work-life balance that the semi-professional state of the women's game forces you to be in or would you like to be as focused as the men are?
In the future, I think we would like to get to the point where we can dedicate all our time to cricket, or a large proportion. Just to allow the girls to choose if they want to… if they want to still study and do some work, sure, but if the option is that they could earn a decent amount of money and focus on their cricket, then that's their choice. I'd like to see that in the future.
How many more years for Lisa Sthalekar?
Well, these World Cup wins help but I know I am coming to the end of it. I am getting old. My body is telling me it's time to go. I am going to enjoy every moment, take each tour as it goes, and I think I'll know when the time is right.

Heya guys,
I know it's been a while since anything new has been posted on here, but I figured that with 3.0 "Ascension" going live on the NA servers yesterday, it wouldn't hurt to post about it on here :) It gives me a chance to practise typing newsposts again. Gawd, sometimes I miss doing that seriously. xD
Anyways, here are the patchnotes, taken from the NA site as the EU doesn't seem to have an ETA on when it goes live.
Edit: I deleted the actual patchnotes on here since they seemed to screw up the entire layout of the site, just use the link provided above if you'd like to read up on them. They've got a prettier layout anyway. ^^
So that being said, how are you guys doing? :D
Keep Strong, Spread the Love

3.0 "General" Patch Notes
By Rillas @ Daeva's Report
(Again, look up the actual page for all the pictures. :D Also be aware this is a homemade translation using internet translators. Some things may be inaccurate because of this and as such are not to be considered hard facts. ^^)
Level cap is increased up to 60. Because of that, new rank/levels of
skills will be added. Also new skills will be added (including one new
Greater Stygma).
Cap for Magic Boost has be adjusted. (Unknown in what way)
Amount of exp needed to level 46-50 has been adjusted. Also exp
boost from Energy of Salvation and Energy of Respose between these
levels have been adjusted.
New type of skill has been added. New type is "recurrent skill"
which can be used x times after skill is activated. Number above skill
icon indicate how many times skill can be used. (See Daeva's Report for graphical representation)
Various skills have been tweaked. (No translation available at the time of writing)
One of the most key feature is 3.0 is new housing system. Daevas can buy, build and customize theirs houses.
Two new house zone have been added – one for Elyos near capital city
Sanctum and one for Asmodians near capital city Pandaemonium. Players
will have access to new area from ? and Gelkmaros (Asmo) and ? and
Inggison (Elyos). (Check out the vids posted on Daeva's Report blogs to see how enormously huge this place is. It seems the lv 21 quest gives you a basic appartement, very nice :D)
There will be 5 kinds of houses. Basic one will be obtained from quest
and all players above 21 level can get them, more luxury one can be
bought from AH or upgraded in other way.
More luxury houses can be bought during action, tho character level will

Many different trophies can be placed in house – some can be obtained by
doing quests, completing instances, killing monsters / bosses.
House objects with special features.There will be special type of objects which will have unique features –
like wardrobe which has separate slots than your normal warehouse,
objects with access to shops ect.
Visiting / inviting friends. Daevas can set up special item, which will create "bound" between
his/hers house and friends' houses. Thanks to that you can visit
friends' houses and invite them to yours.
[New Zones]
Two new zones will be added – Sarpan and Tiamaranta [unofficial English names!]
Some regions of Tiamaranta and some regions of existing zones (?) will
be flagged and "neutral" – PvP between Elyos and Asmo will be impossible
there. Also chat, trade, party invites will be impossible. Dualing will
be allow in this areas. (Seems the Reians act as the inbetween of Elyos and Asmodians, not allowing them to hurt eachother :P)
[New Instances]
Six new instances will be added. A solo one, regular group one, 12-man one, higher lv (58-60) group one, a 24-man one, and a yet to be revealed one. :)

Chaos). Players will be awarded with some new tokens / insignias based
on theirs results: players with places 2-10 (chaos arena) and place 2

for some boxes. Some helpful items can be acquired from these boxes to
help Daevas on the arenas (10 min cooldown)
Opening these new boxes will have a small chance to give player
transformation item, which will transform them into special form. (Picture shows the same form as the Taloc transformation! aka the General transform aka 100k HP + extra skills! :D)

New kind of medal will be added also fountains now will give players quests to obtain these medals. (?)
New 60 level series were added to be bought with Crucible Insignias.

Some new enchanting system was been added (unknown yet how this exactly works)
Some more fixes and changes to already existing items.

If – and I say "if" reluctantly – the Coast Guard allows fracking waste to be carried on the Ohio River, the following conditions should be required:
1. Publish all of the chemicals and materials used in the liquids. This should have been done from the beginning of fracking.
2. Provide the Coast Guard and the water facilities along the river with the actual percentage of the chemicals and materials used.
3. Allow only double-hulled barges to carry the waste. Include a sensing system in the void between the hulls to register any fumes from the waste. Double hulls reduce the chances of a spill during a collision.
4. Improve lighting on the barges to reduce accidents. Each barge should have side lights that can be seen through most weather conditions. Right now only the bow of the front barge and the tow boat has lights.
5. Notify the Coast Guard and all water treatment facilities when a shipment of waste is loaded and ready to disembark. As the shipment passes through each set of dam locks, notify the Coast Guard and the water treatment facilities of its progress.
6. Tax the shipments to pay for all of this extra work by the parties involved. And also tax the waste if it is pumped into the ground to dispose and store it.
If the Coast Guard is still accepting comments, let us know where and how to send them.

Since making mock classical paintings is kind of my thing, I thought it would be fun to branch out from portraiture. It occurred to me that Mario had a lot of vegetables and flowers, such as may be found in a regular old-fashioned still life, and so I painted this. Every single thing in this painting came from a Mario game - even the vase. I'll be bringing this one to Toronto Fan Expo with me this year.

While most of us are still knee deep in playoff races and the end of the 2013 regular season, the folks at EA Sports are already teasing us with the newest edition of the classic NHL series, the release of today's trailer of NHL 14.
Me personally, I will not be running out and buying the newest edition of the game. I am still content with NHL 13 – and don't log enough hours on my XBOX to warrant dropping sixty dollars every year just to play with the most up to date graphics, engines or game modes. My online play isn't really up to par, with my record against other humans a paltry 15 games under .500.
You can also blame the 2012 Lockout on me not jumping at the chance to buy more NHL gear, I have not spent a single penny on anything NHL related since the lockout started back in September. I am not part of any merchandise boycott movement, I have just found other ways to spend my entertainment money.
If you are one of the few that pine for the newest version every year – what does the new game hold for you? Check out Puck Daddy's writeup on the game for a little bit of insight into the new engines, game modes, and features – that include Enforcer Engine, a Live the Life mode, online season play, and more. The one feature that has me slightly interested in the new game is the one touch dekes, a facet of the game that I am severly lacking in – and my low goals per game average is evident of that. I am one of the few gamers that long for the days of NHL 94 when 99 percent of your one timers ended up in the net.
Will you be one of the many that won't be in to school or work on September 10th to try out the newest hockey game?

- Excellent meal!DavidBFoxDined on 7/11/2014Four of us came to Baan Thai for a Friday Night dinner. Our wait staff was exceptionately friendly and helpful, and we were made to feel very welcome. And the food was perfect. We have been coming to this restaurant for decades under the previous owner and were worried the quality might suffer when management changed. That's definitely not the case.Special Features:
- want2eatwant2eatVIPDined on 6/29/2014This is far and away the best place for Thai food that we have had in the Bay Area. Fresh, non fried, spring rolls with peanut sauce were terrific; crab rangoon equally good. We had a pumpkin curry main entree and a phad thai chicken that were very flavorful. "Spicey" can be moderated by the customer, which is hard to do in some restaurants. All in all, a very positive experience.

- Really fine ThaiKgeorgeVIPDined on 6/21/2014My wife and I enjoyed the food and the excellent service. Because we booked on Open Table we had a reserved sign on a table at the window. And the food was so good, we went again. Same great food, same great service. I left my credit card in the folder with the bi;;, and the waiter ran us down. Super!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A real findReggieVIPDined on 6/12/2014This is a lovely neighborhood restaurant in downtown San Anselmo. We were treated very well, and the food was plentiful and satisfying. We will definitely make this one of our "regular" Marin County stops.Special Features:
- Very tastyopeksoyDined on 5/24/2014We love eating at this place and we've never been disappointed for years! Great food and service and such consistency.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good ThaichristinefredVIPDined on 4/18/2014We had a very nice meal - interesting, well presented, tasty Thai food. Like many Thai places, the wine list is pretty sparse and choices limited - but the food was very good.Special Features:
- Better Than Many Thai PlacesJamesVIPDined on 4/12/2014The food seemed like a lot of food we had in Thailand. Flavorful, and not salty. The service is very much true to their family run scheme. You almost feel like you're in their home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Super ThaiFilippoVIPDined on 1/8/2014We loved Orchid Thai, but Baan Thai is just as good. We really miss Tom and Peggy and particularly Tom's food. The dishes now are very different but equally delicious. We will keep coming back because the restaurant is well-run and this Thai food is the best we can get in Marin or the city. In the future, I will ask for some dishes to be less SWEET and others to be more spicy. I'm sure when they get to know us, we can adjust the sweetness and spiciness to our tastes. Great people!Special Features:
- Great addition to San AnselmoHalRDined on 12/31/2013Lovely people, attentive service and a great choice for thai food.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always looking for good ThailovethaifoodVIPDined on 12/20/2013Always looking for good Thai food. We enjoyed everything at a moderate price. I partiularly liked the Thai Basil Chicken. I had my favorite Thai Basil Chicken in the South Bay and this competes with it. You can't aways find great Thai Basil Chicken. The servers were very gracious and attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
