Black Swan [DVD]
1 disc
Region 1 USA/CA (
New York City ballet dancer Nina (Natalie Portman) enters into an intense battle of wills with a talented and ambitious new arrival (Mila Kunis) who seems intent on edging her out of the spotlight in this supernatural-flavored psychological thriller from director Darren Aronofsky. Nina covets the role of the Swan Queen in a production of Swan Lake by acclaimed theater director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel). The harder Nina works to win the part, however, the more overwhelmed she becomes by her suspicions that talented newcomer Lily (Kunis) is intent on stealing it away from her. As the production draws near and Nina struggles to master the duel roles of the White Swan and the Black Swan, she grows increasingly unstable to the point where she finds it difficult to distinguish fantasy from reality. Though her burgeoning friendship with the unconventional Lily helps Nina to jettison her perfectionist instincts and find her footing as the Black Swan, the closer she gets to perfecting the role, the further her sanity erodes until she begins to experience a bizarre and profound transformation.

Critic Reviews
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[T]old with passionate intensity, gloriously and darkly absurd. It centers on a performance by Natalie Portman that is nothing short of heroic..."
Chicago Sun-Times
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[A] ballet film that captures both the gossamer pink softness of classical dance and the scarier psychological impulses lying just beneath the serene surface."
Washington Post
4 stars out of 4 -- "At the center of this dreamlike story is Natalie Portman's exquisite performance of a troubled ballerina who evolves from timid to seriously unhinged."
USA Today
"Part tortured-artist drama, BLACK SWAN looks like a tony art-house entertainment. But what gives its a jolt is its giddy, sometimes sleazy exploitation-cinema savvy."
New York Times
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Aronfsky treats ballet as one of the bleeding arts. And so does his breathtaking star, Natalie Portman, who delivers an all-stops-out performance that will soon be the stuff of legend."
Rolling Stone
4 stars out of 5 -- "With Natalie Portman dominating the action and exhibiting a screen maturity not seen from her before, this all-stops-out Grand Guignol melodrama exhibits more than enough blood, sweat and tears to score nicely beyond the ballet crowd."
Box Office
"BLACK SWAN is a florid, often lurid, completely enthralling film held in place by a disarming Portman, who rarely leaves the frame." -- Grade: A-
A.V. Club
"[A] gorgeously shot, visually complex film..."
Hollywood Reporter
"Darren Aronofsky's backstage ballet thriller BLACK SWAN is lurid and voluptuous pulp fun, with a sensationalistic fairy-tale allure." -- Grade: B+
Entertainment Weekly
Included in USA Today's "10 Best Films Of 2010" -- "A deeply disturbing psychological thriller..."
USA Today
Ranked #7 in Rolling Stone's "10 Best Movies Of 2010" -- "[A] fever dream of a ballet thriller..."
Rolling Stone
Included in Roger Ebert's "The Best Films of 2010" -- "BLACK SWAN uses powerful performances by Natalie Portman and Vincent Cassel to represent archetypal attributes..."
Chicago Sun-Times
4 stars out of 5 -- "BLACK SWAN is a film obsessed with movement, colours, sets, sound design, Clint Mansell's clanging score and, of course, performance..."
Total Film
4 stars out of 5 -- "Aronofsky pulls off some astonishing visual flourishes....Like THE WRESTLER, BLACK SWAN also showcases Aronofsky's ability to tease career-best turns out of lead actors, in this case Portman."
"[A] film that gives the hair on the back of your neck a serious workout."
Sight and Sound
4 stars out of 5 -- "[P]rops to Portman, who's in every scene -- and Winona Ryder, brilliant as the neurotic, toxic former prima ballerina."

An awkward Sunday brunch takes an unexpected turn thanks to the apocalypse in this comedy from writer/director Todd Berger (The Scenesters). Tracy Scott (Julia Stiles) is ready to introduce her new boyfriend Glen (David Cross) to her best pals Hedy (America Ferrera), Emma (Erinn Hayes), and Lexi (Rachel Boston), and what better way to do it than gathering for a laid-back Sunday brunch? As the ladies and their significant others file in, it quickly becomes apparent that the chemistry is a bit off. Just when it seems like the situation couldn't get any more uncomfortable, however, the group learns that a series of dirty bombs have been set off downtown, and that a deadly cloud of VX nerve gas is blowing their way. Now, with their demise seemingly imminent, this bickering bunch must make peace with the fact that the worst party they've ever attended may also be their last. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|27Tall T
|The remotes do not work the solenoids at all. I've been fairly quick or even slow programming just to get the remotes to work, but to no avail. It is a 4 channel unit but I am using (or trying to) only 2 channels. There is no reset buton indicated anywhere. The paper clip, you mention, is used to set the transmitter to receive the codes and turn the LED on. From there you press the fob button, holding it until it chirps again. That's when everything shuts down and I cannot set the second button. Even then, the 1st button does not energize the 1st relay which in turn sets off the solenoid. I know that the relays work the solenoids as when I ground the relay it sets off the solenoid. Any other thoughts?
|EOD Guy
|Do the remotes work as is? It sounds like the reciever has already recieved the fob codes and is full etc...... is there a master reset button? Normally you have to use a paper clip and access it thru a small hole....... additionally if you are slow on the fob button push, it'll time out.
|27Tall T
Keyless Entry System
I've just installed a REC-43T keyless entry system and I'm having problems programming the buttons. According to the instructions, I'm supposed to push the programming transmitter button and the unit chirps 4 times followed by a long chirp. LED will light, which it does. According to the instructions it is ready to receive the code. I release the transmitter button (LED is still on) and proceed to push the 1st button on the key fob whereas it is to beep once and the LED is to flash once, indicating that the 1st button code is learned; then 2 times for the 2nd button code, 3 times for the 3rd, etc. My problem is that when I go to program the 1st button, the unit beeps twice (instead of once) and the LED goes out so I cannot program the rest. Could there be a malfunction of the unit or am I missing something. I've emailed the tech dept. but no reply as yet. I know that this is a familiar unit to some and wonder if anyone can shed some light as to what I'm doing wrong. Their website is Omega R & D - Car Alarms | Remote Start | Vehicle Tracking | SmartPhone Interface and their manual is there if anyone wishes to advise me as to the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ancestry.co.uk have just released more goodies from the London Metropolitan Archives. This – time it is the turn of Land Tax Records for a variety of areas in London, the time period is 1692 – 1932.
The tax was introduced in England in 1692 and monies went into the government coffers, it wasn't until 1963 that it was abolished. The records list both property owners and also tenants it also records which parish the property was situated in. A set of records which are often under used by family historians.

text: Agree with Walter. He decided to come back and so he needs to live with the consequences. And he's being paid rather handsomely to figuratively not show up. He's like a walking bad example if that's the case. "Remember kids, this is a bad example you need not follow." Having a dynamic 3 that plays hard on defense 100% of the time and doesn't stagnate the offense would be so nice.

General David Petraeus is not that concerned about whether or not Osama bin Laden is captured because is it unclear if he really is the top leader of Al-Qaeda. "While it would be very, very important to kill or capture bin Laden, there are numerous other leaders who are …giving directions, who are determining the flow of resources, providing spiritual guidance and so forth." A lesson that finally has been learned by American military forces is killing a leader of an organization which is driven by ideological feelings, does not result in a collapse. Of course, sometimes reports of "killing al-Qaeda leaders" may not actually result in the death of terrorists. Britain's Sunday Times reported the so-called "killing of a Taliban leader" was actually the killing of a Pakistan officer.
Petraeus discussed the important of gaining the support of the population in order to isolate the Taliban from its base of support. However, a basic problem is that a large percent of the Afghan population prefers the traditional society of male domination and rule by clans rather than support the idea of a unified government. How does one gain the support of a population which disagrees with basic concepts of democracy?

Topic: Bloating
My dad is getting some bloating. I would guess it is fluid build up in his abdomen. Is this a bad sign?

My dad is getting some bloating. I would guess it is fluid build up in his abdomen. Is this a bad sign?
Truly Crissie, there are lots of reasons for the fluid build-up. Most likely it's related to the liver not working as well as it should. Are his liver numbers like AST, ALT and Alkaline phosphatase up? If that is the case then the fluid is ascites which happens when the blood from the body cannot pass through the liver as easily as it should, then some of the clear parts of the blood leaks out and causes the bloating. If it becomes uncomfortable for him they can drain it off called a paracentesis and if he gets it fast and often they can put a permanent drain in then it can be drained at home.
I would ask the doctor because it can also have other reasons and they may just be able to give him a diruetic (water pill) to make him urinate more of the fluid out.
I would definitely have him take his weight regularly to see how fast he starts gaining any fluids.
Hi Crissie,
Sorry to hear this news about your dad. It could well be ascites like Kris says and my dad had this as well. This is something that you should discuss with your dads doctors and here is a link about ascites that may be of interest to you -
http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Cancerinfor … cites.aspx
There are also loads of posts on the site about ascites and the search function will throw them up for you if you want to read more about that.
My best wishes to you and your dad,

text: Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas will finally be known for something other than having the name of a truly atrocious restaurant chain and a production that once starred Holly Madison and now has Coco. Britney Spears is getting close to signing a deal to perform at the hotel for probably the better part of her life. I wonder if she will get to live in a house in Vegas or if her minders will force her to live inside the hotel and attach some kind of monitor to her which will shock her if she tries to leave. Britney is not tall and I bet she can move like lightning. You let her loose among all the people they have in a casino she can probably make a run for it. I'm kind of sad about all of this. I always feel like Britney never really enjoys going out and performing but at least she got to get out of the house and travel to different cities in the world even if they did not let her leave the hotel. Now though, someone will just wind her up five days a week so they can make some money off her. Britney has enough money to last forever and her kids and her grandkids. Do you think she even knows what is going on or that she is signing up for this?

Economic Impact Of PGA Will Be Felt Statewide
More than 200,000 people from around the world will visit Oak Hill Country Club to watch the 95th PGA Championship. The State of New York helped cover the cost of hosting the event. New York Lieutenant Governor Bob Duffy, (D), says that invest will pay off with about a 78 to 1 return, "there's a $78 million dollar economic impact from this event from restaurants and taxis and hotels to families parking cars all around the course," explained Duffy.
Tuesday night the "Taste of New York," moved into the media dining hall. Journalists from around the globe sampled New York's finest wines, spirits, beers, yogurts and foods, "this is an opportunity to introduce, to really the rest of the world, so many things that our region has to offer, all the fine New York wines and all the culinary treats that we have, even Nick Tahou's is here in the tent," explained NY State Senator Ted O'Brien, (D) 55th District.
"It looks like we're a hit so far," explained Alex Tahou, Owner of Nick Tahou Hots, "the people are eating us out of house and home."
Nothing screams, "Rochester," quite like a garbage plate from Nick Tahou's, "most people are asking what it is and then they find out what it is and they want to try it because it tastes better than it sounds," explained Tahou.
The hope is once people get a taste of New York, they'll come back for seconds.
Tuesday night's "Taste of New York" event was just for the media, but there is a "Taste of New York" tent next to the merchandise center at Oak Hill Country Club. The tent is open to the public.

I have recently completed a CELTA course and just got a job teaching in Vietnam starting in 10 weeks.
I'm extremely worried as I don't know if my level of teaching is going to be good enough for the school. I am a native English speaker and my level of English at school was at a high level but always stuggled with the detailed grammar of English (Present, past , simple etc...) I know i passed the CELTA course but with a lot of help. Also on the course i struggled with the intensity of planning lessons and having to do that everyday fills me with dread!
Did anyone else have these worries before going out to teach for the first time? I hear about people who went to places like China and Korea with no qualifications and seemed to grasp it alright. It's just I found the course so hard i don't want to be the 1 teacher there who struggles to teach!
If anyone else could share there experiences the first time they went out to teach I would be extremely grateful. Also any tips on what to expect stepping into the classroom the first time.

Very friendly and inviting club. All instructors are great with the kids and communicate well with all participants.
They really have their students best interests at heart, my son was having difficulty and following the encouragement of the instructors he is now having a ball and cant wait to go to class, we are seeing the benefits too!
My son started at Choi Kwang Do about 4 months ago. When he started he was nervous and didn't want to participate in the class. The staff acknowledged this and each lesson worked along side him to make him feel more comfortable and accepted . After a few weeks of persistence he now loves attending classes and is happy to participate in what is expected of him in class.
They are excellent!

I love it's uniqueness and character- the gallery is full of history, and yet full of contemporary and emerging artists! Located one street back from the Strand, the Drill Hall Studio offers an ever changing variety of hand crafted local artwork!
The art classes for kids have been amazing. Sue helps guide the kids towards what they want to achieve. And teaches them the techniques required to do so. All done in a friendly open manner which really appeals to the kids.
I love visiting the Drill Hall Studio - an excellent spot to get that perfect present, even for the hardest-to-buy-for friend.
I've been coming to the Drill Hall weekly for over a year now to enjoy creating and exploring my artistic side in an adult mixed media art class. Such an informative and supportive environment, and the items for sale in the gallery are beautiful too - and a huge temptation! I cannot recommend it more highly - it is a wonderful place to escape and create for a few hours. and I have done several different types of small workshop too, including glass and clay.
The Drill Hall studio teaches fun and exciting art classes for kids of all ages. They are run by professional artists who leave all kids with a smile on their face, a new skill, and often a new way of looking at things. The studio itself also has an array of items that are always interesting to browse through if waiting for the kids. Would definitely recommend booking your kids in for these classes! They do not disappoint!

Mike Lalonde, the resident potter, volunteered to throw some Skinner slabs for me since my throwing skills are rusty. We folded the slabs, drop wedged so the colors would not get mixed ... he threw the slabs in all the ways we could think of and got some wonderful results. I carved on the cups to see what would happen.
So, YES ... finally I know that Skinner blended colored clays can be thrown with great results.
I am so thrilled with it that I might just have to start throwing again!
Here are a couple images, but more to follow once I get better shots.

Loon Mountain opens for skiing Friday
By KATHLEEN BAGLIO HUMPHREYS
Special to the Union Leader | November 07. 2013 8:07PM
The resort will be open Saturday and Sunday, closed on Veterans Day, and then will reopen for the season on Friday, Nov. 15.
During the off-season Loon made improvements to the tune of $1.3 million, which included 100 new semi-automated snowmaking hydrants and 29 new high-efficiency low-energy tower guns. Loon also boosted its snowmaking water capacity by over 40 percent by installing two new pumps.
"The new snowmaking hydrants reduce snowmaking startup/shutdown times on key snowmaking trails by 75 percent," said Kwasnik. "This allows us more flexibility in making snow during short cold-weather windows. In the past, we'd have to wait for a 12-hour window of cold weather to make snow; with these easy-on, easy-off hydrants, our snowmakers can now fire up the guns during a six-hour window."

PHOTOS: Greenville power pole problem
Posted by Cory Smith • Last Updated 2:25 pm on Wednesday, January 04 2012
Icy road conditions on Bracy Avenue in Greenville contributed to a truck-pole accident on Tuesday morning. The collision snapped the power pole in half, requiring Consumers Energy crews to remove it and install a new one. Workers use a bucket truck to help replace a power pole that was destroyed in a car accident Tuesday morning.

• Carolina swept the season series in 2012, winning 78-73 in two overtimes in Charlottesville and 64-56 in Chapel Hill.
• Carolina leads the nation in steals (14.9 spg). The Tar Heels are sixth in blocks and seventh in FG% defense.
• Head coach Sylvia Hatchell is currently four wins shy of 900 for her career and is two ahead of C. Vivian Stringer for the lead among active coaches. Only Pat Summitt and Jody Conradt have reached 900 wins.
• UNC is 7-1 this season when tied or trailing at halftime. The Tar Heels were 9-29 in those situations the previous three seasons.

With the win at NC State on Jan. 10, the Tar Heels are now 7-1 on the year when tied or trailing at halftime. Carolina was 9-29 in those situations in the previous three seasons. All four ACC wins so far in 2013 have seen the Tar Heels enter the locker room either tied or behind.
Head coach Sylvia Hatchell enters Thursday's game with a career record of 896-315 in 38 seasons, just four wins shy of 900. Only two coaches in women's basketball history have reached this milestone - Pat Summitt and Jody Conradt - but Hatchell and Rutgers head coach C. Vivian Stringer are both on pace to get there in 2013. Hatchell currently holds the active lead, two ahead of Stringer's 894.

Stores weigh in on impact of Territory Days
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Local stores weighed in on the economic impact of Territory Days as thousands of people packed the streets of Old Colorado City Saturday for its 38th annual event.
The event is dubbed the largest and longest-running street fair in the U.S. Southwest. Organizers estimate 150,000 people will attend the event during its three-day run.
Bruce Vanderpool said thousands of people will stop by his tent this weekend. He uses a scroll saw to create intricate designs on dead wood from the Hayman fire.
"This is probably one of our bigger shows of the year," said Vanderpool.
Some Old Colorado City store owners said they won't reap the benefits of heavy foot traffic this weekend. The two store owners didn't want to be identified. They said holiday weekend sales would be higher without the festival. The vendors hide their storefronts, hindering sales.
Lisa Johnson works at the Artists Gallery of Old Colorado City. She said most festival attendees stay on the street.
"Most of it is in the street. People will come in to get cool and say, 'I didn't know there was an art gallery here, we'll come back,'" said Johnson. "But, most of it is in the street."
Johnson said Territory Days helps generate new business for the gallery.
"It does get us known and people see us," said Johnson.
It's difficult to see Molly Smith's Republic of Paws pet boutique from the street. A food vendor set up shop directly in front of her front door.
"We say it's the nature of the beast because it is kind of a double-edged sword. We want the traffic here. We want people to visit us. We know they are largely here for the festival," said Smith. "But, unfortunately, the 2400 block we are on, we are back-to-back with the smoky food vendors."
She said her store would benefit more from the event if visitors could see her store more easily from the street.
"If you walk down to the 25th block [of Colorado Avenue], all of the stores, at least on the north side, have no vendors in front of their stores so they get everyone walking by," said Smith. "It's as if they're the other side of the actual vendor traffic so they get double exposure, which is great."
Smith said sales for her store this weekend might be smaller, but the event gives her store invaluable exposure. She thinks Territory Days will bring more people back to her store later, helping its bottom line in the future.
Smith has offered suggestions to the organizing committee that she believes would help stores benefit more from the festival.
"It would be nice if they would rotate so we aren't always back-to-back with the food vendors because we have to do a lot to de-smoke and make the smell go away afterwards," said Smith.
Admission the Territory Days is free. The event is going on in Old Colorado City through Monday. Colorado Avenue is closed from 23rd to 27th streets through 10 p.m. Monday. 23rd Street, 24th Street, 25th Street, 26th Street and 27th Street are also closed for one block on either side of Colorado Avenue.

Using FindRoot on an equation involving Log terms
I am trying to find the root of a certain expression in Mathematica
version 7:
expr = 110.52499999999998 + (300. - 135.52499999999998/(1 - x)) (1 -
x) - 300. x - 135.52499999999998 Log[1 - x] + 135.52499999999998
It appears to plot fine, for example using Plot[expr, {x, 0, 1}]. The
plot shows that there should be a root at about x=0.85. However, when
I try to find this root, using for example the following:
FindRoot[expr, {x, 0.5}]
I get an error message:
"FindRoot::lstol: The line search decreased the step size to within
tolerance specified by AccuracyGoal and PrecisionGoal but was unable
to find a sufficient decrease in the merit function. You may need
more than MachinePrecision digits of working precision to meet these
and it prints a seemingly incorrect (according to the qualitative form
of the plot) result: {x -> 0.344678}. Only if I use for example
FindRoot[expr, {x, 0.7}]
do I get the seemingly "correct" root: {x -> 0.849823}.
Can you help me see why the FindRoot is getting stuck at {x ->
0.344678} when I use starting values far away from 0.7 or 0.8? I will
ultimately want to find the roots of many similar functions, which may
have more than one "actual" root, so it would be helpful if I could
see why FindRoot[expr, {x, 0.5}] does not give {x -> 0.849823}. (also
when I tried NSolve[expr==0,x], Mathematica will not solve it.)
Thank you,
Andrew DeYoung

Class revamp - Xelor 10/07/2013 - 16h00Retour à la liste
Long awaited, the Xelor revamp is now becoming reality, and will come to the game in the upcoming update, in July. Today, we offer you a closer look at the modifications to expect.
Let us know what you think!
- We wanted to put the emphasis on Multi Element. While playing a single element will still be possible and fun, you will notice a high level of interaction between the three elements of the Xelor. It goes without saying that this class will reach its full potential when played with Multi Element builds. This is a modification that will become truer and truer in the entire game as time goes by. With the spells being balanced on a maximum level of 200 and no longer 100, you will see that playing Multi Element becomes a real option and a viable alternative to Single Element.
- Tick Tock: This mechanic being one of the real originality of the class, we decided to use it even more, and make it a real game changer for the Xelor. You will see that many spells can have very different effects if they're used on a Tick or Tock turn, and your strategy will have to take this into account.
- Hyperaction: This change will apply to the entire game, but Xelors might be the ones most affected by it. All AP losses will now generate Hyperaction. In other words, each time you inflict an AP loss to your opponent, he will receive a level of resistance to further AP loss. The resistance will decrease at the beginning of each players turn.
- Accelerator: This state will apply to a target and gain one level each time said target receives an AP from a Xelor spell. Once Accelerator reaches level 5, the target can no longer receive additional AP. The state resets at the beginning of the player's turn. When this state reaches level 5, Temporal Focus to another ally.
Damages will be lowered, but chances to apply an AP loss will increase.
Cost: 3AP | Range: 1-3 | Area: Point | LoS: Yes | Boostable: Yes | Conditions: None
Damage: 3 - 32 | Effects: -1 AP (50-90%)
Temporal Control
Slow Down becomes Temporal Control: This spell can either target the Xelor, allies or enemies. On a Tick turn it will have a chance to give one AP and place a "temporal focus" state on the target (if the target is an ally, it doesn't take any damage from this spell). On a Tock turn, it inflicts an AP loss (1 AP instead of 2 AP). There can only be one "temporal focus" at a time in the game (ends at the end of the Xelor's turn).
Cost: 1 AP | Range: 0 and 2-4 | Area: Point | LoS: Yes | Boostable: Yes | Conditions: 1/target
Damage: 1 - 6 | Effects: Tick: +1 AP (50-90%) Temporal Focus / Tock: -1 AP (50%), -1 AP (90%)
Xelor sandglass
Its damages will lower
Cost: 2 AP | Range: 2-5 | Area: Point | LoS: Yes | Boostable: Yes | Conditions: In Line
Damage: 2 - 19 | Effects: Tick: +1 AP to ally under Temporal Focus (40-80%) / Tock: -1 AP (40-80%)
Its damages and cost will lower (5 AP). On a Tick turn it will have a chance to give one AP
Cost: 5 AP | Range 2-4 | Area: Cross | LoS: Yes | Boostable: Yes | Conditions: None
Damage: 5 - 50 | Effects: Tick: +1 AP to ally under temporal focus (50-90%) / Tock: -1 AP (50-90%)
It now has 3 charges, 3 AP and the spell Frostbite with a range of 1-3.
Cost: 4 AP | Range: 1-3 | Area: Point | LoS: Yes | Boostable: Yes | Conditions: 1 Control
Damage: - | Effects: 3 Charges, 3 AP, spell: Frostbite with Range 1-3
Has no Tick and Tock effects anymore. Its range can now be modified but it can only target a cell in contact with an Hour cell. Its cost is lowered (3 AP) and range increased (1-2) while the damages are lowered. Cast on a player it will apply the effect "Aiming" (temporary translation) that will push back the target by one cell at the beginning of the Xelor's turn (in the opposite direction). If a Xelor uses this spell on an empty cell in contact with an Hour cell, it will create a Time Rift. The Aiming effect can stack.
Cost: 3 AP | Range: 1-2 | Area: Point | LoS: Yes | Boostable: Yes | Conditions: target a player or a cell in contact with an hour cell
Damage: 3 - 45 | Effects: on player: Applies Aiming / If Xelor on a Hour cell, on targeted cell: places a Time Rift
Its cost is increased (2 AP) and range decreased (1-3). It will now have a cross area. Its damage bonuses with Tick and Tock will be modified. It will now consume the states "Distortion" and "Aiming" and directly apply their effects instead of them applying at the beginning of the next turn.
Cost: 2 AP | Range: 1-3 | Area: Cross 1 | LoS: Yes | Boostable: Yes | Conditions: 1/target
Damage: 1 - 6 | Effects: Tick: -1/-10 HP for each 10 INI lost / Tock: -1/-9 HP for each AP lost / Consumes Distortion and Aiming
Temporal Distortion
Its damages will increase. It will no longer have a Tick and Tock effect. Teleports the target on a Time Rift, turns it toward the Xelor and applies "Distortion" to it. Distortion: the target receives damages at the beginning of the next Xelor's turn. This spell doesn't damage allies.

Cost: 4 AP | Range: 1-2 in line | Area: - | LoS: No | Boostable: Yes | Conditions: None
Damage: 4 - 45 | Effects: Tick: -20 INI / Tock: Line 3
Temporal Burn

Damage: 3 - 30 | Effects: 3 charges
Xelor's Dial
Its cost has been rebalanced in WP (1) and AP (2). Its range in line will increase. Its charges will also increase but it will only provide a Damage bonus. Also, the Dial can only be placed on a position that will directly place the Xelor on an Hour cell (the Xelor is no longer teleported on an Hour cell when he places the Dial). The Dial will be destroyed if the Xelor isn't on it at the end of his turn (and no longer at the beginning of his turn). Still blocks line of sight.
Cost: lvl 1: 1 WP 3 AP / lvl max: 1 WP 2 AP | Range: lvl 1: 3 Line / lvl max: 3 Line
Effects: lvl 1: Summons a Dial with 3 Charges, +5% damage / lvl max: Summons a Dial with 8 Charges, +50% damage
No longer provides Initiative, but now has a chance of adding charges to the Dial.
Cost: 3 AP / 1 AP | Range: 3 / 3
Effects: Stock 1 AP on the Dial, 5% chance to add another charge / Stock 1 AP on the Dial, 50% chance to add another charge
Its cost in AP is rebalanced (2), and its range is decreased (1-4). It now completely reanimates the targeted ally (the Xelor no longer controls him). The ally comes back with a percentage of the Xelor's HP, and the states In Recovery and "Mummification" applied to him. Mummification: The ally loses
Cost: 6 AP / 3 AP | Range: 1 / 1-4
Effects: Revives an ally with 10% of Xelor's HP and Recovery 1 and Mummification / Revives an ally with 100% of Xelor's HP and Recovery 10 and Mummification
It now costs MP instead of WP (1), and its range is increased to 0-4. It no longer targets the Xelor and his allies, but has to be targeted directly on a player (becomes monotarget). The target receives an AP bonus. No longer removes Hyperaction but Acceleration. Increasing its level will improve the use per turn limitation.
Cost: 3 MP / 1 MP | Range: 0 / 0-4
Effects: +1 AP to the target, 2/target, 1/turn / +1 AP to the target, 2/target, 4/turn
Temporal Images becomes Desynchronization: This spell with AP and WP cost (3 AP + 1 WP at min level, 1 WP at max lvl) will allow a Xelor to change a Tick turn into a Tock, and the other way around, but will lower the Damages of the Xelor. Casting this spell several turns in a row will cost 3 additional AP.
Cost: 3 AP 1 WP / 1 WP | Range: 0 / 0
Effects: Tick becomes Tock (or Tock becomes Tick), applies Desynchronization -18% damage all / Tick becomes Tock (or Tock becomes Tick), applies Desynchronization -0% damage all
Temporal Waves
It no longer offers a chance to remove an additional AP. Instead, a Tick turn increases chances of Initiative loss and a Tock turn increases chances of an AP loss. Tick and Tock will trigger even if no point is spent in this passive.
Lvl 1: Triggers Tick (lvl 1) and Tock (lvl 1)
Lvl max: Triggers Tick (lvl 20) and Tock (lvl 20)
Master of Time
The Initiative bonus is lowered while the Chances to remove an AP are increased. This passive will also provide a bonus to Mechanics starting from level 10.

Lvl max: +40 INI, +30% chance to remove AP, +2 Mechanics
Time Theft
It now increases the chances of successfully giving an AP to an ally.
Lvl 1: 1% chance to gain 1 AP, +1% chance to give 1 AP
Lvl max: 20% chance to gain 1 AP, +20% chance to give 1 AP
Temporal Armor
Temporal Armor becomes Temporal Armor: This passive will apply a "Time Crystallization" state to the Xelor. This state will see its level increase for each element used during the turn, until a maximum of 100. The state provides a Damage bonus to the Xelor, and is removed if no damage is dealt for one turn. This passive also provides an Initiative bonus. Sinistro and Hydruille will trigger Time Crystallization when cast.
Lvl 1: +0 Lvl of Time Crystallization per element used this turn
Lvl max: +15 Lvls of Time Crytallization per element used this turn, +15 INI
Its effect will be changed. At the
beginning end of the Xelor's turn, he will now have chances of regaining the AP he spent in the previous turn this turn, for the next turn.
Lvl 1: Xelor has 1% chance to recover an AP used during the turn, max 3 AP
Lvl max: Xelor has 20% chance to recover an AP used during the turn, max 3 AP
Wish mummification had more clarification to it. After the 4 turns, does the mummified character die? Or if the character has been healed, will it only lose the 25% hp given to it? If its the latter, definitely game changing
How will this be any different to now... Its not like we see many if not any multi element chars running around atm.
Wish mummification had more clarification to it. After the 4 turns, does the mummified character die? Or if the character has been healed, will it only lose the 25% hp given to it? If its the latter, definitely game changing
Upon resurrection, you will give HP to the character equal to a percentage of the current Xelor's HP (the percentage increases with the level of the spell). For the next 4 turns, the character will loose 25% of the HP that was initially given to him.
After these 4 turns, the characters stays alive and no longer looses HP.
Furthermore, you only have one really true multielement set at high levels and that is vamp which is somewhat restrictive and lacks the runic potential of any over 100 set. It's still far more likely you'll have to focus on 2 elements and to be truly effective you'll need to have relatively high levels like 6 or 7 spells further diluting your potential.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about finally getting our revamp, but just as you said you wanted to make smithmagic more accessible to every player and then did the opposite, I feel that multielement usage is going to backfire on you. We will have to use multielements to raise up the damage in the specialty, but what's going to be far more effective than a true multielement build is just throwing in 1 slowdown or 1 1ap temp burn while focusing on 1 element.
I shall endeavor to try to keep playing the air/water build I love so much, but with a 4/turn limit on hourglass in a spec that constantly procs 1 ap and is crunched for time b/c of spell animations and setting up dials and now setting focuses and doing devotion, we'll likely have to leave a lot of 1 and 2 ap unused b/c we just can't cast anything anymore due to turn limits or running out of time. I suppose we'll have to just start with a frostbite and then try to get 4 hourglasses with time theft or rollback, but It's wonky and changes everything and if you're going to go so far as 4/turn then you might as well just let us have it be unlimited. I understand making powerful mp using moves like storm arrow into 2/turn limits or psych flask, but until this moment you have set a precedent where you only did turn limits to keep people from stacking 6 mp and 8 ap and getting a ton more firepower than a traditional 10 ap 5 mp build.
There's just not enough spell xp to keep 6 to 7 spells even close to a level that truly makes them be effective and you're further compounding this with turn limits even though we already are playing two different alternating playstyles due to tick tock. In a sense hourglass is not really 4/turn, it's 4/every other turn alternated with 2/turn on punishment every other turn.
I still can't help but feel the best use of a xelor now is to just go fire/air b/c you have to level so much less to make it work and don't have wonky turn limits imposed on hand while you do for both punishment and hourglass, making air/water a mess of alternating turn limits and leftover ap that has to be put into completely different spells. If this is the case it will sadden me greatly, b/c water/air xelor is one of the reasons I was drawn to this game and love it as much as I do.
We'll see what happens, but I for one am going down on record as saying putting turn limits on spells that do not use mp is a slippery slope and all the other classes could easily be affected by this going forward. Be wary whatever class you play, as it certainly seems that from now on we've opened a door that will only lead to every spell being classified by arbitrary per turn limits and force you all to use spells you would rather not.

Sinistro: It now has 3 charges, 3 AP and the spell Frostbite with a range of 1-3. If placed on a Dial cell, it will have chances to remove an AP and will no longer be destroyed if not on an Hour cell.
WOW such a huge nerf, Sinistro's were amazing crowd control support, actually they were my main spell next to Sandglass now they are literally useless.
Most Xelors atm instantly plant a Dial and gain a 50 or 75% dmg bonus to attack with. After revamp, the only dmg increase comes from Time Crystallization and will require more spells to be used. Xelors will lose A LOT of their first turn damage now. They also need to spend 2ap to put a DIal down.
I assume no dial dmg bonus means no Initiative loss bonus from hour cells.
It's way too early to give accurate feedback until players get some clear numbers or better yet, actually test it.


text: I don't think they'd make the decision ONLY on those 40 ab's. But those 40 ab's certainly have some say in the matter. As would their work ethic, how they perform during practice and how they're playing in general apart from the straight statistics. Just because a hit doesn't fall doesn't mean the player isn't hitting the ball hard. Just because a pitcher ends up giving up some hits doesn't mean he's not controlling his pitches well. But to say that those 40 ab's are pretty much meaningless, I'd say that's completely wrong. How they're currently playing should have more impact than how they "used" to play. None of those NRI's were good LAST year, they're all coming off stinkers. So current production is a pretty important aspect IMO...track record or no.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I just got my headliner out. Would've been clueless w/o this write up. Now I gotta figure out what color goes with my grey interior. Thinking of going all black, headliner and pillars. Thanks.
Just one tip on removing the dome light assembly though. I found it easier to pop of the dome light assembly by sticking a small flat head screwdriver in between the lens and trim. There is a clip adjacent to the notch you were speaking of (opposite end of the dome light switches). Use the screwdriver to press down on the clip and the lens should come out with relative ease. Once the lens is out you will have to unplug the two wire connecting to the switch. From there, you will be able to unscrew the trim with a phillips head screw driver.
Taking the out handles is pretty easy, putting them back in is another story.
To take the entire Headliner out: COME TO THE REALIZATION YOUR GOING TO BREAK CLIPS
1. Clean the car, it's so much easier to do this when there is no junk in the way, beleive me.
2. To take the oh shit handles out, theres a little cover when you pull the handles down. Unflip that cover. There is a hole there about the size of a cig butt. Stick a screwdriver in there and start pulling up and down and side to side while pulling on the handle. It'll eventually unclip. While your at it unscrew the visors and visor clips. Save those screws!!!
3. Take the Seat Belt pillars out. They're held on by those lovely metal clips. Don't be afraid to yank em. Just be sure when you're yanking them, your yanking them as close to the clips as possible. Alternately you could use a rather long flathead screw driver and unclip em that way.
4. Take the trim pieces that extend from the Seat Belt pillars to the adjacent pillars. Same story, yank or flat heads if your more comfortable with that.
5. Take the two front pillars out. Some more yanking this time! Give the plastic credit but don't think they're indestructible. There's more of those little clips on the inside, most are plastic however. Pull that puppy out.
6. The two rear pillars don't have to come out, just get your fingers underneath the pillars and pull, just make sure your pulling as close to the clips as possible. Just as long as the top portion comes out, you'll be good. These back two pillars are a bitch to take off completely as that entails disassembling the portion where your seat-belts roll into and the destruction of the clip at the verra end. At least on Sedans anywayas.
7. Now you should have some more play with your headliner, tuck your fingers into the rear end and pull/push down to get those two plastic button clips out. Don't worry these little buggers are resilient and don't break easily.
8. If you haven't done so already take out the dome light assembly. There's a little notch toward the windshield. I found a small drill bit worked perfectly to get in there and pop it out. The dome light is not just going to dangle out. It's going to come out about halfway and stop. Rock that sucker sideways and it'll come out. Unclip it and place it with the rest of your goodies.
9. There are two screws that hold the bezel piece in. This is all thats holding the headliner in at this point if it isn't already sagging. Having a second hand wouldn't be such a bad idea. Unscrew them suckers. Once that comes down, there is going to be a metal frame that follows. Take note of how this attaches and save it.
10. To get the headliner out of the car, if you have a hatch you can try pulling it out that way. If not, the front passenger side will do. Move and squirm your way till the headliner is at a 45' angle. One corner should be on the floor and the other on the top of the seat. You may have to put your shifter all the way back if you have automatic for it to fit. It should be somewhat like this. [L\] L=Seat \=Headliner [ ] = door trim
11. Stare and wonder what the hell those stick on metal sticker pieces are for.
Installation is a reversal of tear down.
HOWEVER one extremely helpful hint:
Take the oh shit handle clips out of the roof, place the handle in the Headliner holes and clip them in that way. Your going to have a helluva if not impossible time getting them back in later on. Then you can put the Headliner back in reversing the instructions.
E.T.A if you've taken out pillars before and know what that entails= 10-20 mins
E.T.A if you haven't= 1-1.5 hours
A good practice for taking out those clips is to take out your door sills. Get a long flathead and start prying. It's the same stuff that the pillars are held onto. Once your confident with that and realize the plastic isn't as fragile as you think it is, move on to the pillars!
Now reupholster that sucker black velvet, paint those handles & Dome light trim, and
hope this has been helpful. I'd post pics but no DIGI!!!
Oh and BTW, this was written with a SEDAN in mind but the same techniques can be applied to other models. *I think*
I'm not responsible for these kind of frustrations when things do break or do not work for whatever reason=
|how do the handles come out? they seem pretty sturdy.
|What type of clips hold the plastic pieces on? Just pull on it?
|are you lost eddie?? LOL....you do realize what section you are in right? LMAO.....
should take about 15 minutes to drop it
|its not to bad, all you have to do is pull all the plastic trim off and pull the oh sh!t handle out and the two buttons in the rear of the car and YOUR DONE, hope this helps
Headliner removal
Someone was getting ready to post a how to on the removal of the headliner. has it been done yet? I couldn't find it if it has. Can anyone help me on this? I want to install my 2 way radio on the rib above the drivers head.

Why Study Philosophy?
Questions for consideration (pdf).
The philosophy major is an excellent preparation for law school,
for business, for government and civil service, and for advanced
academic work in the humanities and social sciences. Philosophy
majors can and do pursue a variety of courses upon graduation. Both
public and private employers have good reason to seek graduates who
major in philosophy. This is because philosophy majors have the
skills that employers say they want. A Wall Street Journal article
(reprinted in the Mercury News 11/15/95) states that philosophy
majors have these writing and verbal skills. The article's evidence
is that philosophy majors who took the Graduate Record Exam between
1990 and 1993 finished first among all fields in verbal skills and
third in analytical skills.
More recently, an article in The New York Times gives a clear idea of societal need: "Philosophers find the degree pays off in life and in work." The New York Times, Dec. 26, 1997 C-1/4. [The rest of the data in this section is from this same article.] Although few students who graduate in philosophy with a B.A. go on to make a living as philosophers they do remarkably well. This is probably because they are more likely than those with other degrees to attend graduate or professional school, although often outside the field of philosophy.
Look at the students who received B.A.s in Philosophy in 1977. The New York Times found that, although some of these now make under $50,000 per year, the more typical salary range is between $50,000-60,000. Some make over $200,000. Many computer scientists have B.A.s in philosophy. This is not surprising since there is a close connection between philosophical logic and computers. Philosophy B.A.s also often go on to law school.
Some Philosophy B.A.s and M.A.s go on to Ph.D. programs. Of 7,500 holders of Philosophy Ph.D.s in 1995, 64.5% were college teachers. Becoming a philosophy college teacher is not easy. More than 1,000 people with Ph.D.s applied for 448 openings nation-wide last year, and many of these jobs were only temporary.
9.7% were managers or executives, 3.3% had management-related jobs, 3.0% were lawyers or judges, 2.6% had computer related occupations, 2.3% were artists or writers, 1.5% were clergy or religious workers, 1.5% were librarians or archivists, 1.2% were social scientists, and 10.4% were other. A fair number of B.A.s and Ph.D's in philosophy also go into medicine.
The Times reports that many philosophy majors who go on to other fields strongly believe that their training in philosophy, especially in logic, ethics, creative thinking, and writing, was valuable in their careers. (National Research Council Data Provided by the American Philosophical Association)This data states that 84.1% of 8300 Philosophy Ph.D.s surveyed were employed full-time, 7.1% were retired, 6.5% were employed part-time, and 2.3% were unemployed. Of the 7500 with full-time employment 79.7% worked in an educational institution, 69.7% of these in a four-year college or university, 4.4% in a two-year college, 3.9% in a university affiliated research institute, 1.4% in elementary or secondary school, and .3% in another sort of educational institution. 6.9% worked for a private company, 4.4% were self-employed, 4.6% worked for a non-profit, and 4.1% for government. In 1995 of 298 Ph.D.s received were 226 males, 72 females, 2 Native Americans, 11 Asians, 3 Blacks, 221 Whites, and 9 Hispanics. (Data found in the Digest of Educational Statistics provided by the American Philosophical Association)
Bachelor's Degrees in Philosophy have an interesting history. In 1949-50 there were 2831 awarded (2245 male, 386 female). After a brief downward trend the numbers went up consistently from 1955-56 (2662) to 1967-68 (5751) at which time the numbers vacillated, reaching a high of 5939 in 1971-72. There followed a steady decline to 3300 in 1983-84, and the low point of 3265 in 1985-1986. Numbers then started rising again steadily until 1991-2 at 4846. They declined to 4691 in 1993-94, the last date available for study.

I honestly think he will be a bird taxidermist we will all look to for inspiration. In his first birds he shows an uncanny natural artistic talent that will surly grow with every latest mount. I am excited to see what he produces in his upcoming pieces, which from what I heard should be something he will be just as excited to work on.

text: A Stronger Evaluation System Comments by MTA President Paul Toner to the Board of Elementary ad Secondary Education on the Educator Evaluation Task Force recommendations, March 22, 2011. We believe that the task force report presented to the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education is an accurate reflection of the views of the majority of the members of the task force, including all or nearly all who work in education as teachers or administrators. If the recommendations are adopted, we believe these changes will create a stronger evaluation system that is better able to identify educator strengths and weaknesses, and that will drive more focused and effective strategies for improvement. That, in turn, will serve the interests of all Massachusetts students. MTA's report, Reinventing Educator EvaluationA cornerstone of this new system is that it is based on multiple measures of teacher effectiveness and requires these measures to be validated against one another. The starting point always has been and should be observation by a trained evaluator, whether a principal, a department head or a peer, for those districts that adopt a peer assistance model. In addition to observing the educator at work, the evaluator must assess the work product of that educator – such as lesson plans, drama performances, numbers of students successfully guided through the college admissions process or development of district budget priorities that support student learning.The evaluation should also include multiple measures of student learning and outcomes, including district- and classroom-based measures. One measure would be trends in student MCAS growth scores over at least three years, where those are available. The task force was right to not put a specific percentage on this measure because the research is very clear that growth scores can provide some useful information, but they are also subject to very high error rates – that is, they are known to falsely identify excellent teachers as weak ones and weak teachers as good ones. On this point, 90 percent of task force members were in agreement, including both those who conduct evaluations and those who are evaluated.In the final analysis, the main purpose of looking at all these measures is to determine if there are areas where the educator needs to improve and then to provide him or her with the tools needed to improve. For those who are already exemplary, a good evaluation system may help identify career paths they will want to consider pursuing, such as becoming mentor teachers, peer reviewers or administrators. For those whose performance is unsatisfactory even after they have had ample opportunity to improve, termination or demotion to a more appropriate position are the viable alternatives. Overall, we believe that a better evaluation system will be of great benefit in many respects. It will help our schools meet crucial needs, keep promising teachers in the classroom and help narrow the achievement gap, thereby meeting needs that are critical for our students.Subscribe to MTA News Headlines by Email

Kelsey and James were married at Squamish Lil'Wat Cultural Centre in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada on January 25. "I loved the SLCC because it had the ability to host a family style meal and a killer dance party all under one roof," Kelsey said. "No really, it was actually THE best of ALL TIME. It didn't hurt that it allowed the beautiful outside landscape of Whistler to be experienced within the floor-t0-ceiling windows too. We intentionally didn't have a color scheme. I wanted it to feel light, rustic, and natural with a hint of glamorous sparkle." The bride wore a v-neck satin wedding gown, accessorized with a faux fur coat and Ugg boots, while the groom wore a black suit, accessorized with a bow tie. Bridesmaids wore mix 'n' matched short dresses and carried bouquets of roses, ranunculuses, berries, and ferns. "Our ceremony, most people joke about getting through it to make it to the reception, but ours felt important and special," she said." There wasn't a dry eye in the room." All 120 guests stood in a close circle, except for parents and grandparents, who sat atop cushioned wooden tree stumps, as the newlyweds shared their first kiss! Reception tables were decorated with an assortment of breads and spreads, wine bottles, and candlelit mercury glass votives. Plus, string cafe lights were hung behind the head table as a stunning backdrop!
