Read all of PUSH: One Man's Journey
Week 23
Our cushy little pregnant world, where the deepest problem to this point involved sharing the bathroom, exploded today.
The phone rang at my desk, and it was Sarah, who had that amused-but-troubled ring to her voice. "You'll never guess what happened. I just got exposed to chicken pox."
The inside of my stomach dropped so fast, I checked my shoes for my lower intestines. Sarah is always showing off about how she's never had chicken pox -- no one in her family has -- and she has never developed antibodies to the virus. I'd always considered this more of an oddity than anything, but with a 23-week fetus inside her, it's frightening. "What happened?"
"One of my students came to school this morning with a whole bunch of bumps, so we sent her to the doctor. Chicken pox."
"Have you been in contact with her?"
"I just hugged her an hour ago."
I checked my shoes again. "OK, so what does this mean?"
"Well, if I get chicken pox, it can cause birth defects in the fetus," she said matter-of-factly.
Birth defects. I couldn't think of any scarier words on earth. Two minutes earlier I was blissfully fact -- checking a column about Italian cheese, and now we're talking birth defects? We recently finally got the results of the week's triple screen, and found out that the fetus was healthy and roughly the size and weight of a foot-long Subway Cold Cut Combo. I foolishly believed the worrying was over. "What do we need to do?" I asked in a shaky voice.
"I don't know. What can we do? Either I've got 'em or I don't."
We decided that calling our doctor would be a good first step, which Sarah did immediately.
Meanwhile, I tried to get back to work, which suddenly felt ridiculous. Cheese? Italy? Who gives a shit.
I did some quick research online, and found that 1 to 2 percent of babies whose mothers contract chicken pox while pregnant are born with defects such as scars, eye problems, poor growth, and delayed development. These aren't the worst things in the world, I suppose -- nor the worst odds -- but I felt my temperature rising in a big way, and had to squelch the overwhelming desire to hunt down and destroy the parents who'd allowed their kid go to school with chicken pox.
About a month ago, Sarah broached the topic of our course of action if we found out that the fetus had a congenital problem. I contributed nothing to the conversation, but as usual, Sarah had a clear head. "I'm obviously excited about being pregnant," she said. "But what I'm attached to right now is the idea of being a mom; I'm not attached to the particular fetus inside me yet." Though she would obviously be devastated to lose a pregnancy, it would hurt her more to bring a sick child into the world. This gets into some murky moral waters that I wouldn't dream of wading into here. Let's just say it feels good to know that the two of us are on the same page.
The upshot: Sarah has to go get a globulin shot in her ass and go back for a blood test tomorrow. The incubation period for chicken pox is seven days, so we'll just have to wait and see. I hate waiting and seeing.

Crash and Burn
Though some NASCAR drivers embrace a squeaky-clean image, others have figured out that nice guys really do finish last.
Take top-ranked racer Carl Edwards, who gave a prized trophy to a disabled fan and raised dough for Mexican orphans. Dude stopped being Mr. Nice Guy when he purposefully rammed his car into competitor Brad Keselowski's No. 12 Dodge last year at Atlanta Speedway. "Every person has to decide what code they want to live by and hopefully this explains mine," he wrote on his Facebook page following the crash. Ouch.
Love him or hate him, Edwards is the man to beat in the NASCAR Chase for the Cup, which continues with the Kobalt Tools 500. Minnesota-based rock band Catchpenny will perform the national anthem, followed by a speedy semifinal matchup of drivers including Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon, and Edwards.

100 Favorite Dishes: No. 88, Butcher and the Boar's suicide tacos
Make your own destiny
Joy Summers
All of the sausages and meats at Butcher and the Boar are mixed by hand, and the seasonings and spices are measured in small batches. Our stage in the process was spent grinding bits of downy fat with massive chunks of pork. We layered it all in a mixer, generously pouring in spices, some dried jalapenos, and mixing thoroughly. (You want an early morning wake up? Stick your face in a tub of dried peppers and inhale deeply. It's like being maced.)

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Starting guard Thabo Sefolosha will miss the Oklahoma City Thunder's game against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night because of flulike symptoms.
Coach Scott Brooks said before the game that James Harden would take Sefolosha's place in the starting lineup.
Reserve Daequan Cook, who missed Monday night's game at Dallas with flulike symptoms, was expected to play against Portland.
Sefolosha also missed the second half of the Dallas game because he was feeling ill. Brooks said no other Thunder players were sick.
Sefolosha, who is considered Oklahoma City's defensive specialist, is averaging 5.3 points in six starts this season.

By CERDEC Public AffairsApril 9, 2008
FORT MONMOUTH, N. J. - Wideband Global Satellite 1 (IRON 1462) demonstrated unheard of data transfer rates during a capacity test at L3-Com West in Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. 25.
Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center's technical lead selected L3-Com West in conjunction with a satellite terminal from the existing SATCOM fleet to couple with an advanced L3 experimental satellite modem to reach data rates of 440 megabits per second over satellite. Data enriched transmissions meeting or exceeding this data rate could not be verified traversing a satellite ever before in history.
While these high data rates are impressive in the radio frequency domain, in the end it wasn't the satellite that was the limiting factor, said Rick Dunnegan, CERDEC Space and Terrestrial Communications Directorate Joint SATCOM Engineering Center (JSEC) technical lead. The JSEC concluded in a briefing following the test, "the WGS-1 satellite demonstrated the ability to support well beyond both the common and uncommon data capabilities currently available in the SATCOM ground segments anywhere in the world at the present time."
"WGS-1 supported data rates beyond the advanced L3 developmental satellite modem's ability to count errors in near real time. We wanted to see how far we could go with it, and at that particular moment, that was the best we could do on the ground," Dunnegan said.
The next steps in the process will be to advance a ground test element far enough to exceed WGS capability to better characterize breaking points in the data throughput arena, Dunnegan added. "The power, capacity and flexibility of this new WGS satellite reflect advanced satellite capability the Government has never had before."
CERDEC's JSEC is the executive agent for test and evaluation for the WGS, which was launched in October. This particular spacecraft is the first of the fleet with several more to follow. The results of this test will undoubtedly offer more options spurring more technological possibilities for the Department Of Defense.

Director: Joey Silvera
Company: All Blew Shirts Productions
Cast: Joey Silvera, Nick East, Veronica Lane, Natalie Tizara, Jake Williams, Tom Chapman, Dick Nasty, Liza Rose Harper, Lovette, Demi Willis
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Basically a stylistic clone of Seymour Butts' popular formula, Joey Silvera's Fashion Sluts 4 offers a raunchy mix of non-stop sucking, fucking and fudge-packing. But points off for the overall unremarkable quality of the women. Of the five, only Lovette -- a luscious, busty blonde whose nasty DP is the vid's load-launching high point -- seemingly has star potential. Still, attractive packaging and the Silvera name should translate into brisk rentals.

FedEx documents obtaining people's names, addresses, and tracking numbers dumped in dumpster
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - It's a big concern for FedEx customers as page after page of documents are found in a dumpster.
The 13 papers included sensitive information including more than 70 people's names, addresses and tracking numbers.
While enjoying the afternoon with her family, Ofilia Garcia received a big surprise outside her front door.
"I thought to myself, I'm not expecting a delivery," she said.
It was her son who peaked out the window and happened to see a FedEx driver do the unthinkable.
"I saw a FedEx truck come and dump a bunch of papers in the trash can," said Benjamin Brown, the young boy who saw it all.
Those papers of the driver's daily route included the names, addresses and tracking numbers to more than 70 FedEx customers.
"They walked out of their vehicle, walked onto our property and just dumped everybody's information into our trash can," said Garcia.
Garcia contacted FedEx branches leaving several messages and was getting nowhere until the higher ups began calling back.
"The big bosses started calling and they were like 'well, we're going to send somebody out and pick it up and we recommend don't talk to anybody about it, it's really not a big deal. I kept telling them, 'what do you mean it's not a big deal?' It has people's information and he was like 'oh, no they were alias,'" she said.
During our interview, 23ABC cameras caught a FedEx truck returning to the dumpster. We asked if they were picking up the documents and they didn't have much to say.
"No comment," said the driver.
A spokesperson for FedEx released this statement:
"While no proprietary customer data was compromised, we are committed to ensuring the security of our customer's information and take these matters very seriously. We are investigating this matter and will take appropriate steps to address the situation," said Ashley Faderewski, FedEx Ground Public Relations.
Garcia says those dumped documents leads to packages being stolen and may leave customers vulnerable for identity theft.
"I've sent things to FedEx before, if this is how they handle my information, other people might want to know," said Garcia.
The documents have delivery sites from Wasco to Bakersfield and many address in between.

AUGUSTA, GA. - Matt Stockton clinched his third straight Masters on Friday, but Tiger Woods isn't worried.
"It's definitely a workout," Stockton, a climber with Big Dog Stump & Tree Service, said after completing a series of maneuvers through the limbs of a towering sweet gum to win the Masters Challenge at Lake Olmstead in Augusta.
The competition, complete with judges and a gallery, capped a weeklong series of events in the seventh annual CSRA Tree, Ornamental & Turf Seminar.
In all, more than 250 horticulture professionals gathered to hone their skills on topics ranging from dirt analysis and tree fungus to pesticides, said Henry Frischknecht, whose company, Empire Tree & Turf, co-sponsors the event with the city.
But the Masters Challenge, held the last day, is probably the most fun, said Stockton, who at 33 has been a climber almost 18 years.
"We all get along pretty good," he said. "It's the camaraderie of the tree men."
His competitors Friday included a colleague at his own company, Frank Konarik, and Empire Tree climber Tommy Powell.
They were the finalists after other contests that included speed climbing, work climbing and an exercise in aerial rescue, also known as "dummy in the tree."
For the Masters Challenge, each climber must throw a line into the tree and use it to pull a climbing rope through a chosen limb. Contestants must maneuver themselves to touch markers in remote parts of the tree.
"A lot of it's safety, too," Stockton explained. "And the time limit for the whole thing, including getting all your equipment back on the ground, is 20 minutes."

Say I have a function, for example the old favourite
def factorial(n:Int) = (BigInt(1) /: (1 to n)) (_*_)
Now I want to find the biggest value of
n for which
factorial(n) fits in a Long. I could do
(1 to 100) takeWhile (factorial(_) <= Long.MaxValue) last
This works, but the 100 is an arbitrary large number; what I really want on the left hand side is an infinite stream that keeps generating higher numbers until the
takeWhile condition is met.
I've come up with
val s = Stream.continually(1).zipWithIndex.map(p => p._1 + p._2)
but is there a better way?
(I'm also aware I could get a solution recursively but that's not what I'm looking for.)

Hawaiian Company Adds Spam Flavored Macadamia Nuts
The Hamakua Macadamia Nut Company says the new Spam flavoring is meat free. Good news for any Spam loving vegetarians out there. President Richard Schnitzler said Spam has a cult following in Hawaii.
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
Spam brings two things to mind: unwanted email or that gelatinous, pre-cooked meat product you find at the store. Well, some people would rather see both in the trash. But many people like eating Spam and now, there's a new way to do it.
The Hamakua Macadamia Nut Co. has a new flavor: Spam. The flavoring is meat-free, good news for any Spam-loving vegetarians who might be out there. The president of the Hawaii company, Richard Schnitzler, said Spam has a cult following in his state.

Morgan Stanley Maintains on American Axle & Manufacturing
In a report published Thursday, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas maintained Underweight on American Axle & Manufacturing (NYSE: AXL).
According to the report, while the analysts had anticipated many of the headwinds impacting 2013 and 2014, consensus still has room to fall. AXL maintained its 2015 guidance but will have to navigate a tricky 2014 first.
"AXL guided to $3.75-$3.8bn of sales (vs. MSe and cons $3.8bn) with EBITDA margins in the 13.5%-14.0% (vs. MSe 13.6% and cons 14.0%) and FCF of ~$100mm (vs. MSe $120mm)," the report noted. "Capex is expected to be ~6% (vs. MSe 6.1%). Guidance based on K2XX build assumption of 1.15 mm units. The soft margin guide was attributed to downtime for the K2XX SUVs/HD trucks, investment in IT systems ($10 mm) and R&D ($8-10 mm), half of which is expected to continue into 2015. Mgmt. saw the opportunity to become more efficient with K2XX production vs. 2013 but this would be offset by pricing givebacks."
AXL closed Wednesday at $20.97.

Big Money and Benefits
Good news from some Seattle groups already bringing in big money for various hurricane relief charities: Bumbershoot raised over $30,000. Photographer Charles Peterson raised over $17,000 in 72 hours by selling a limited edition of his Nirvana prints. And new shows keep getting announced. Jazz fans check this one from Seattle School: Jazz Benefit for New Orleans Hurricane Victims on Tuesday, September 13th at the Zig Zag Café from 8 11pm. There will be live jazz from the Brian Kent Trio starting at 8:30, and I'm asking people to come in their New Orleans best attire. There may be other musical guests as well. I'm still looking around. I'm asking for a suggested donation to the Red Cross at the door of $10, but also encouraging gifts of more if people can afford it. The Red Cross will send charitable receipts for any check donation (not cash unfortunately).

The Unique Story of Yew Wood
Posted on July 11, 2016 by Belinda Chavasse
One of the world's oldest surviving wooden artefacts is a yew spear head, found in 1911 at Clacton-on-sea, Essex. It is estimated to be 450,000 years old. Yew wood is reddish brown (with whiter sapwood), and is very springy; the entire tree is poisonous - wood, bark, needles and seed. It was traditionally used to make bows, especially the longbow: the battle of Agincourt was considered to have been won by the yew wood long bow.
Yews are fascinating trees – characteristically planted in churchyards, where some are estimated to be over 1,000 years old. The Druids regarded yew as sacred and planted it close to their temples. As early Christians often built their churches on these sacred sites, the association of yew trees with churchyards was perpetuated. Another theory is that they were planted, for making bows, in graveyards so that they wouldn't poison grazing cattle.
Very slow growing for a conifer, yew is one of the hardest of the softwoods. Much prized in furniture making for its colour, figure and durability, it is also notoriously hard to work: deceptively smooth, the grain is interlocking and will often 'catch' a tool edge - cabinet scrapers and sandpaper are traditionally used for finishing yew wood pieces. It also makes spectacularly beautiful turned objects or treen. The earliest [and the best] Antique Windsor chairs, were made with yew - it was well suited to being steam 'bent' for the characteristic bow back, as well as being turned for the spindles.
The patina of yew wood is unique, and particularly lovely – over the years it develops a silky sheen. Similarly the colour, while really quite vivid orange with purplish streaks when freshly cut, fades to a warm, mellow brown on antique furniture. It is one of the most prized, and unusual, of our indigenous cabinet timbers. This exceptional pair of Georgian yew wood lamp tables are a fine example, with their elegant turned columns and octagonal tops with fine inlay.

I recently switched to J2EE from .NET, and am confused about where to put JAR files. I know that the CLASSPATH, WEB-INF, and Eclipse's Java Web Path are all places where JARs can be stored, but I'm confused about which folder to use, when, and why.
First off, we have the CLASSPATH. I usually set this by going into "Environment Variables" inside "My Computer." I know that this is the default place where the Java compiler looks for JAR files. When I add a folder or a JAR to my CLASSPATH environment variable, why is it ignored by Eclipse, the Java compiler, and the web server?
Also, I know that WEB-INF\LIB is a place where you can put JAR files that your web app is going to use. However, I've put JARs in WEB-INF\LIB only to have them be ignored. In what situations should I put JARs into WEB-INF\LIB folder? How do I get Eclipse or the web server to notice them?
So far, the only thing that works for me is to actually change the Java Build Path for an Eclipse project. I'll select the JARs I need and hit "Add External JARs." Most of the time when I do this, Eclipse will recognize my JARs and read the classes therein. However, I've run into a bunch of weird random errors while doing this (mostly having to do with dependencies, I think). For some reason, I just get the feeling that this isn't the right way to do things, and that I'm missing some vital piece of information. When should I be manually Adding External JARs inside Eclipse, and when should I be doing things differently? How come Eclipse's Java Build Path doesn't seem to know about the folders in my CLASSPATH environment variable?
Really, I would just like to gain a better understanding of the CLASSPATH, Eclipse's Java Build Path, and the WEB-INF/LIB folder -- the purposes they serve, the relationships between them, and where I should be putting my JARs in various situations. I would appreciate any advice you could give me, or any articles that you could recommend.
Thank you.

Did Girl Scout cookie sales put troops in debt?
That's what WCCO's recent report on the subject seems as if it'd like us to believe. The TV station's spin makes the situation out to seem like some sash-wearing, slave-driving Girl Scout Grand Poobah dumped a semi-load of cookies at each 10 year old's doorstep with orders to sell all of 'em--or be on the hook to buy all those boxes with her babysitting money.
Regardless of the issues associated with Girl Scout cookie sales--the bakers take too much of the money; the girls are peddling unhealthy, processed crap, etc.--WCCO's report that troops are getting ripped off is a little misleading.
Let's look at the facts a little closer:
This year, the Girl Scout council tried a new "Cookies Now" approach to selling cookies where, instead of taking orders, they pre-ordered as many cookies they believed they would sell and then toted them around for real-time sales. Trouble is, WCCO reports, that many troops didn't sell all the cookies they ordered and have racked up big debts to the Girl Scout Council, citing the shocking figure that one Brooklyn Park troop has 1,500 boxes and owes the Girl Scout Council $4,500!
But two factors about the report were blatantly misleading. First, Amelia Santenello states that troops were "given a certain number of cookies," which seems to imply that they had no agency in the decision. Instead, the troops decided the size of the order they should place.
More importantly, troops can return all unopened cases (12 boxes) of cookies to the Girl Scout Council. Sure, this is inconvenient, but if a troop is left with 125 opened cases, it sounds like a case of poor planning on their part. (Also, in the CBS report, Frank Vascellaro misstates this information as only unopened "boxes" of cookies will be taken back--as if we'd think the Council would want a half-eaten sleeve of Thin Mints.)
If troops don't want to sell cookies and look to other fundraising opportunities, that's totally their decision. But it seems that the problem of excess cookies might be seen as a challenge--a great way to inspire some initiative and creativity from the next generation of sales people/marketers. In addition to going door-to-door, Girl Scouts can often be spotted at tables outside grocery stores, etc. In fact, New York City troops have set up pop-up shops in each borough to get rid of the rest of their inventory.
If you'd rather avoid the whole scene and make your own Girl Scout cookies, check out these recipes.

By TIM BOUCHER Blessed is he who has a soul, blessed is he who has none, but woe and grief to him who has it in embryo.1 – G.I. Gurdjieff The United States Declaration of Independence proudly proclaims the mystical truth that "all men are created equal." What happens after that, though, is anybody's guess. Once we've been created equally, does that mean all our lives are the same? Do the essential differences between us come from genetics, environment, free will, the soul?

The Gospel of Judas Revealed
By ROBERT BLACK— The secret account of the revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas Iscariot during a week three days before he celebrated Passover. ...Jesus said to him, "Step away from the others and I shall tell you the mysteries of the kingdom.

BY JAY KINNEY — It seems hard to imagine that it has been nearly twenty years since Bladerunner was released. That riveting and influential film was the first movie to be inspired by the writings of science-fiction author, Philip K. Dick.

Crimson Dragon: Side Story is a side-scrolling shoot em' up game which has you controlling a flying dragon on the mysterious planet Draco. You are tasked with tracking down the cause of a disease that is rapidly spreading across the planet. Unlike traditional shoot em' ups, you only control the up and down motion of your dragon, while the game automatically transitions your through the level, dodging enemy attacks and executing some of your own. The game offers more than 170 unlockable attacks which can be chosen strategically to make your dragon a lethal, killing machine. The game boasts several difficulties and a loads of missions to add lasting value. For a more in-depth review of the game from WPCentral, click HERE. Currently the game is listed at $0.99 in the Marketplace.
Step 1: Complete Story and Mission Modes
Play through Story Mode. It is quite short and only involves completing 5 levels. Once you complete this mode, Mission Mode unlocks. Continue completing all levels in Mission Mode until no more unlock.
Step 2: Unlock all skills
Keep playing through Mission Mode and Story Mode to unlock all skills related to each mission.
Step 3: Awaken all skills
Awaken all the skills you have unlocked. You will need around 3,200 jewels to be able to awaken all skills. Obtaining this many jewels will take ages. See "White Reaver Unleashed" for more information.
Step 4: Mop-up
Finish any achievements you may have remaining. You likely won't have any left, but may need to grind some Dark Phantom kills to earn the "Dragon Master" achievement.
Crimson Dragon's many missions sound good on paper, but unfortunately they are just recycled versions of the same 10 or so levels, with only the order or the difficulty altered. The game offers some good shoot em' up action, but because of this, it gets old fairly fast. The five boss battles become particularly repetitive. The road to completing this game is long, ridiculous tedious, and occasionally can be challenging / glitchy.
COMPLETION ACHIEVEMENTS (4 for 35 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)
The following 4 achievements are earned simply by completing missions.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UPichbI=.jpg First Flight - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Defeat the Glyrin!
The Glyrin is the spider-like boss at the end of the first story mission. You must beat him to complete the level. As long as you have some spare jewels, you can keep continuing if you run out of lives.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UPq9jAc=.jpgSkylord - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Eliminate the Dark Phantom from the Crimson Dragon world.
The Dark Phantom is the boss in the fifth and final Story Mode mission. Kill him to earn this achievement and unlock Mission Mode. As long as you have some spare jewels, you can keep continuing if you run out of lives.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UP8fZ-4=.jpg Boss Killer- 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Complete "Planet Draco's Masters."
Just complete the level in Mission Mode called "Planet Draco's Masters." This mission consists of defeating all five bosses on hard difficulty. This level does not unlock until you complete the first 15 levels in Mission Mode. As long as you have some spare jewels, you can keep continuing if you run out of lives.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UP7-n20=.jpg The True Crux - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

SKILL-RELATED ACHIEVEMENTS (7 for 90 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)
The following 7 achievements are related to the many skills in the game.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UPiUzhA=.jpg Taking the First Step- 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Unlock a skill.
See "I AM LEGEND!"
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UPq1x6U=.jpg Defy Death - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Unlock 10 skills.

See "I AM LEGEND!"
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UP731M8=.jpg I AM LEGEND!- 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Unlock all skills.
There are 171 skills in the game and unlocking all of them is quite a challenge and time consuming. You can look in the Skills Menu to see what the requirements are for unlocking each skill. Sometimes they are simple and only require you to complete a mission or do so using a specific skill. Other times they are more difficult and require you to achieve a high score or rank on a mission. Unlocked skills appear brighter in the Skills Menu, while locked skills appear dim. Skills with a question mark are only obtainable on a mission that you have not available yet. Complete more levels in Mission Mode to unlock more missions to make all the skills visible.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UP8XLFw=.jpg Take Up Arms- 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Equip yourself with a new skill.
This achievement requires that you awaken at least two skills in one category (Action or Sub). Once you awaken them, enter Story Mode or Mission Mode and in the next screen, select the skill category for which you just awakened those two skills. One of the skills will have been automatically equipped for you. Just equip the second skill you awakened and this will unlock. Equipping a different main skill does not count.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UP-xyXQ=.jpg Might and Magic - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Power-up the White Reaver by awakening 5 skills.
See "White Reaver Unleashed!"
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UP4RMec=.jpg White Reaver Unleashed! - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Release the White Reaver's latent power by awakening all skills.
These achievements require that you awaken all 171 skills. To awaken a skill, you must first unlock it. Then you must spend the required amount of Draco jewels to awaken it. The requirement can be seen after you click the button to awaken the skill. Skills which have already been awakened have the dragon icon in them illuminated in white, as opposed to a dim, clear dragon. You will need 3294 total jewels to awaken every skill (thanks Zebrasqual). The only ways to get jewels is are:
The following 6 achievements are related to defeating enemies and can be obtained in both Story and Mission Modes.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UPztr8Q=.jpg Shredding the Skies - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Defeat 50 enemies.
See "Swarm Exterminator."
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UPqOtRs=.jpg Buzz Kill - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Defeat 1000 enemies.
See "Swarm Exterminator."
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UPl0NoM=.jpg Swarm Exterminator - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Defeat 4000 enemies.
These achievements require that your kill 50, 1000, and 4000 total enemies. This is not that many at all, as there are several hundred enemies per mission. This will unlock early, well before finishing Mission Mode. All kills of all enemy types, across all missions and game modes count towards these achievements.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UPlPRD0=.jpg Death from Above - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Defeat 100 enemies using only subskills.
You must kill 100 enemies with any type of subskill. Make sure you have a subskill equipped, which is done in the menu before loading into the mission. When in a mission, activate the subskill by pushing its circular button, which is located under the name of the subskill (under your health bar in the top left corner of the screen). Once activated, defeat 100 enemies with it.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UPivvK4=.jpg Cleansing Fire- 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Finish off Glyrin and Hestrine using action skills.
The final blow to kill each of these bosses must be done with any action skill. Equip an action skill in the menu before loading into the mission. Then reduce the boss's health down as low as possible. This is necessary because most action skills are very weak and do not do much damage. Then activate your action skill by pressing the circular button near the middle, left edge of the screen. The circle contains your willpower and show a number representing how many times you can use your action skill. This achievement may be easier to earn in Story Mode (Missions 1 and 2) because you will have more time to build up willpower for using your action skill. If you load up a Mission Mode boss level, you will get only one use of your action skill. As long as your are careful and wear their health down extremely low, it shouldn't really matter. Immediately after killing the second of these bosses with an action skill, the achievement will unlock.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UPzW3Xo=.jpg Dragon Master- 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Defeat Dark Phantom 200 times.
Dark Phantom is the final boss in the game and can defeated in both Mission and Story Mode levels. This will take a significant amount of time. If you can somehow manage to defeat him in only 3 minutes, which is quite unlikely, this achievement alone would take 10 hours. This achievement should be saved for last, after unlocking all skills.
MISCELLANEOUS ACHIEVEMENTS (3 for 40 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png)
The following 3 achievements are earned by completing miscellaneous tasks.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UPtddJQ=.jpg Hero of Draco - 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Complete "Battle after battle after battle!" without taking any damage.
You need to complete the entire "Battle after battle after battle!" mission without taking any damage. This level does not unlock until you complete the first 21 levels in Mission Mode. You need to beat the five bosses in a row on true difficulty without taking any damage. See THIS post by Zebrasqual for a mini-guide to unlocking this achievement.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UP0+bks=.jpg Illumination - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Customize your dragon's color.
This is a simple achievement. All you need to do it is click "Color Change" on the menu before loading into a mission (the one where you equip skills). Sometimes the option may not appear. If that is the case, just tap on your animated Dragon and the option should appear.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...1/UP02Jek=.jpg GPS Specialist - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png
Use the in-game GPS to collect 50 jewels.
The game has a feature which allows you to earn jewels based on the distance you travel in the real world between play sessions. You need to travel a total of 1200 km (1,200,000 meters) to earn 50 jewels. The game automatically check you in when you boot up the game. If you are playing on-the-go, you can check in manually from the Main Menu. Click Play Game > Trading Post > Acquire via GPS > Check In. The game will then add the distance since your last check-in to your total, which you can see after checking-in each time. You can also see how many jewels you have earned via GPS from this screen.
NOTE: The GPS check-in was previously glitched, but has been patched as of October 14, 2012. It is now accurate and fully functional. The game should also recalculate all of your previous check-ins before the patch and add them all to your total.
9/15/12 - Guide created and mostly complete. Still needs more information in places.
9/16/12 - Added more information to the "Hero of Draco" achievement and a link to Zerbrasqual's mini-gudie for it. Added a warning about the glitch that deletes all game progress to the Roadmap.
9/17/12 - Updated the achievement difficulty from 6/10 to 7/10. May need to be increased further, depending on feedback I receive. Added the phrase "depending on skill" to the completion time, as this game could be completed fairly quickly if you were phenomenal at the game, or it could take ages if you are not that good. Also updated the description for "The Ultimate Test" achievement.
9/25/12 - Updated "GPS Specialist" with what is believed to be the current distance requirement. Also added information about a possible forthcoming update and about the save game glitch.
10/5/12 - Added a link to the WPCentral review to the Roadmap.
10/16/12 - Added information about the patch released on 10/14/12 which fixed the glitchy GPS and supposedly resolved the save game disappearing issue.
11/28/12 - Changed the Roadmap to reflect the game not being available on Windows Phone 8.
12/12/12 - Removed the warning in the Roadmap about all progress being wiped. This issue has been patched and is a thing of the past.
12/26/12 - Now reavailable on WP8. Added to Roadmap.
1/6/13 - Edited the entire guide to reflect the recent patch which destroyed the glitch in the game to earn jewels. Now you basically have to purchase microsoft points or be a very frequent flyer to complete this game.
3/27/14 - Updated the guide to reflect the recent decommission of Microsoft points. You can no longer spend money to avoid the tedious grind. Also updated the Roadmap and "White Reaver Unleashed" achievement to reflect some tips from Shadow Kisarugi about how to best grind jewels. Based on this info, lowered the completion time from 1500+ hours to 500+ hours. With some confirmation on these details, I will soon resubmit these edits to the published guide.
Dragon Head - Clear the second story mission
White/Red Dragon T-Shirt - Clear the first story mission
Any tips on scoring 750000 on air of despair 2 with lightning roar?
I don't think he was rude, and you are spamming your question everywhere (disclaimer: not being rude, it is what it is!). May I suggest creating a thread for that question ?
Regarding the guide, I'm not sure if I agree with the 6/10 on difficulty, there are some tough goals to achieve, like "scoring 750000 on air of despair 2 with lightning roar"
Sure I admit I have asked the question a few times, but I have got no answer. This is my final skill to unlock and I am racing to get a solution before my save gets erased like ppl have had happen.
I'm having major issues with a lot of scores right now, was hoping the score booster would be helpful, but they're barely making any difference.
Maybe I just need to get well over 90% kills, not the 75-80% that im getting.
Never been good at scoring on these damn games :(
I'm not 100% sure on difficulty, maybe there's just out I need to work out.... Like 1 level, im 25mil less than a guy on my FL, I got 6 he got 31, you need 27....
Maybe I need to keep the combo up too, after unlocking the skills I stopped bothering about maintaining combos
those 25/27 millions challenge are really easy. if i remember correctly, u only fight bosses. when u fight the spider boss, dont kill him !!! only "kill" the little pink bubbles that he shoot. i got my combo going up to x1000. running out of time will make ur score going down BUT u get too much points with the combo so the score is still going up. wait for it to be 25/27 million and u can finish the challenge without worrying about making combos for big score anymore. i hope i was clear enough ^_^
Hey I can confirm the distance for gps specialist is 1200000m I found that I had to be in game for it to record my distance.
Nice roadmap
sadly i got no way to make the two 10 million tours, the best score never get any close to 8 million, combos are always interrupter by the big dragons.
And somehow i was confused how to maintain the combos, trying to memorize where each wave come from?
how do you guys maintain good combos to get 10 million? sorry for my poor english and post the question here.
Or better yet a video of getting the 10 million will be much more helpful. I would hate to leave this game two challenges short of completion.
Whoa, I've Just completed the 2 missions the two 10 millions tour.. You should try to keep all of the combos, especially those of the third and fourth level. Don't worry if you die, the combo can be maintained (if you are fast) during the respawn. Try to remember where the waves comes from and manatian the combo especially between two worlds.
At the end of the mission (Tour at the true difficulty), when I kept all possible combos, my final score was 11,5 M, without arkus. So, if you lost one combo (but only one) in the first or second world, maybe you can still do it eventually using 3 Points arlus at the end of a mission.
Hope it helps.. And sorry for my English :(
Here's my personal takedown method for grinding Dark Phantom kills. I'm doing this on Version 1.1 since I like not paying money for jewels and making the 5G grindfest also count toward the awakened skills achievement.
Main Skill: Plasma Ray
Sub Skill: Anima Bullet ++ (every kill grants bonus Willpower)
Action Skill: Lunatix ++ (increases attack for 2 Willpower and 2HP)
(Lunatix++ is supposed to only cost 1 Willpower and some HP, but on 1.1 at least it takes 2 Willpower instead, but the boost is still greater than Angriff Adler ++.)
Select Story Mode, World 5. As soon as the cutscene begins hit the Fast Forward button. I pick World 5 because on 1.1 I'm still getting fifteen jewels a pop. Also on Air of Despair you only begin with one health.
Once the stage starts and you see Dark Phantom's health bar fill, switch on Anima Bullet ++ and kill some of the Vespins that swarm you. You don't need to hit that many, just enough to get your Willpower up to 2.
Once the Dark Phantom shows up and does his thing, activate Lunatix ++ the moment he becomes vulnerable and give him the good ol' Plasma Ray spam.
When you've learned his flight path and got it down pat you will be able to do some ridiculous damage to him in this phase.
Don't worry so much about getting hit, just concentrate on Dark Phantom because he'll go down before you do. If you're flawless you can actually take him down during this phase but you probably won't.
For his next phase where he fires his large beams I like to fly from the extreme bottom to the extreme top and vice versa, meaning my lasers can still hit him rather than be absorbed by the beam.
He'll either do two beams before his ball and shield attack and final attack, or you might get lucky and he'll do three beams before being forced right into the final attack. Whatever happens, just keep tapping that screen!
Once the battle's over mash your way through the results screens, then once the cutscene begins hit the BACK button on your phone. This will return you to the skills menu, skipping the cutscene and credits entirely!
And there you have it, the fastest I have ever defeated him this way is with 244 remaining on the clock if I beat him during his first phase, but I usually get 237-241. If anyone's got a faster method I would love to hear it.
EDIT: Even in its glitched state Lunatix ++ is still the better skill.

something strange I've found, and replicated, so I know it wasn't a glitch at that time:
the GPS calculation for distance is fairly rough, and at certain points it makes WILD differences in distance for moving small amounts, so if you're going to use the GPS Check In (and I recommend you do, unless house-bound), then regularly check it while you're travelling
there is a region on one of my journeys where travelling down a certain road will gain me 7-8km per 100m, no matter which way I'm travelling, and if I do "circuits" (going to one end, turning around, going to the other end, turning around, etc) then I can gain loads of Jewels for very little time & petrol
as an example, on Tuesday evening I drove around 15km each way, and yet on my journey (only doing one extra "circuit") I earned 6 Jewels - note that after 50 you get 2 Jewels regularly & 3 every 5 or so (I've not counted), so it was 3 Jewel updates!
I keep my WP on my dashboard and check in while I'm driving (I know the screen locations to press), so I get a check in about every 3-4 minutes ;)
I've only tested it on my normal journeys and only found this glitch in one location (near Orpington, just SE of London), but I'm sure it happens elsewhere
I hope this helps some of you, because getting the "purchase all" cheeive will be PAINFUL otherwise (or expensive for a WP game)
Cant say this would also happen for anyone. Your method is good, but remember you need around 90,000 km for the 3,200 jewels you need to power up all the skills. I have also had many glitches just acitivating it in my home ()because I have poor GPS signal through all the walls) that is gives me KM at a time.
I like your method. I just dont think it warrant adding to the guide. If anyone comes here it will be useful. Cheers for sharing mate!
Hey mate, would you mind making another thread in this forum describing what you have found to work good for earning these glitchy chunks of distance traveled? I would like to link that to the guide in some way. I think that would fit in best. Just let me know. I havent played around with it enough (as i know I will never complete this game) or I would do it myself. Let me know. Thanks.
Wish you guys would read the post I left in the forum here. :(
The GPS jewel counter will max out at 663 jewels.
Also, as a quick guide as to how the GPS works, it will attempt to use an approximation of how far you've travelled based on wireless tower locations, which is why you'll see the spotty nature of your distance in certain areas. If it can't approximate your location, it'll use a more exacting method. Try it in areas with weaker cell signal or high interference and you'll see what I mean. I think you can tell which method it's using based on the color - white's approximation, blue's the more exact method. Also, you can use your phone's GPS to target your location and then scan and it'll use the data collected off the previous GPS, so it's possible to spoof your GPS location as Arsenic mentioned with the city in Maryland.
...but, that's all incidental as 663 is the max for the jewel counter. Take it from someone that has over 10,000,000m traveled. Also, you're awarded the extra 3rd jewel every 10 milestones.
Think the amount you need from starting with v1.2 is $25 worth of jewels. I needed $20 with some of the carryover from v1.1.
Great guide!!! Thank U man!

weight bar pops out when using 1 weight called weider nothing thay could do about it..
This home gym works great and looks nice. The instructions were easy to follow, but you need to take your time and follow each step word for word. The bolts are similar in size but can be perfectly matched to the diagram page. I have been working out at a gym for the past year, and this machine does everything and more.
P.S. don't plan on putting it together over night, allow yourself at least two days and take your time. It is worth every penny.
There were a million parts and it took a few hours, but it went together very well. Instructions were easy and precise.
The machine works very well for what we need it for and we are very pleased. You get a nice rounded workout. Walmart was well below what I found elsewhere on the web.
Everything about the product and the experience went great!
Very easily assembled, finished and working out in two hours. great all round home gym except for there isn't an ab work out on the whole machine
It squeaks. It does not work well on the smaller weight amounts. The bar slips out, and it must be reset.
I am very disappointed.

Two men robbed a business at U.S. 1 and Interstate 95 at gunpoint Wednesday night after they demanded money from a register and safe, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Reports said a 35-year-old employee was inside Florida Citrus Center at 9:30 p.m. when two men came in to buy a bottle of juice. The men also asked for a container of water for their overheated vehicle.
The two left and came back about 15 minutes later. One of the men pointed a handgun at the woman and demanded money from the register and safe, as well as the tape from the VCR.
When the woman couldn't eject the tape, one of the men ripped the wires from the back of the VCR and took the VCR with him. Both men were wearing black knit hats.

has been established as a private, not-for-profit, open membership, public
benefit corporation for the purposes of developing consensus about standardized
health care performance measures, reporting mechanisms, and a national strategy
for health care quality improvement. The NQF has broad representation from
all segments of the health care industry and provides an equitable way of
addressing the disparate priorities of health care's many stakeholders. Agreement
and implementation of standardized health care performance measures and achievement
of quality improvement in the emerging era of consumerism will be facilitated
by (1) establishing national goals for health care quality; (2) embracing
public policy that recognizes the complementary roles of quality improvement,
cost control, and improved access; (3) giving greater priority to measuring
and reporting the performance of those aspects of the health care system that
directly affect consumers; (4) focusing on creating a health care culture
of excellence; and (5) promoting the active collaboration of all stakeholders.

I am giving this recipe a 4 star rating because it really was very simple to prepare and was a nice meal. As promised, it wasn't hot at all - I was expecting more of a kick to it and that the flavours present would be stronger. As is, it would be a very nice side to a spiced up bbq'd steak. I did not add the sugar - never do. I think using dry white wine instead of the 1/4 cup of water would help to enhance the flavours. Next time I make it I think I might kick it up with some cumin, ginger and a bit more lime juice. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gonzo
Brandon Iron is back with his creepy old friends to bang tons of hot young starlets for your viewing pleasure.
Part gonzo, part POV, all-sexual, all the time, the 12th volume of Brandon Iron's successful young girl series is a mixed blessing. It's best when Iron turns the camera on the girl's face while getting his dick sucked, as when cutie Tara Lynn Foxx goes from foot fucking him to swallowing his wiener (with a great oral cumshot to boot). Same with newcomer Jessica Right, who takes a bolt in the eye. Less successful are the fucking scenes, simply due to the sameness of the scenarios and camera angles.
On the other hand, there are a whopping 11 scenes here (including the "bonus" one with blonde newbie Juciee James), so you're getting copious stroke fodder for your dollar.
Other highlights include a POV scene with blonde Christina, and Chastity Lynn, who gets fucked after uttering the best line of the release, "Hey old man, want some candy?"
