Raglan Builds An Epic Warhammer 40,000 Battle-scape
February 12, 2016 by brennon
We got some fantastic looking images through from Gareth who has created a rather wonderful looking Raven Guard Army. He has decided to turn a 14ft by 6ft gaming area into a massive battleground for playing out Horus Heresy-era battles and for that he needs lots of ruins...
The terrain was all grabbed from Tony Bragg of Bragg Miniatures and allowed him to quickly add some fantastic pieces to the tabletop without any painting on his part. Bragg supplies great terrain-scapes which are all ready to go on the tabletop.
There is a lot more in the works I would imagine but I think this is a great looking set of terrain for use in Warhammer 40,000 and 30,000. Interestingly I think this reminds me of a multiplayer level from Space Marine where you had to take on hordes of Orks.
One of the main things that draws you to terrain like this is that the buildings haven't just been dropped onto a board. The extra effort involved in adding some more detail around the base of the ruins means that they look like they belonged there in the first place.
I particularly like the ruins around the big archways that form the entrances to the building. It looks like something big blasted its way inside these Gothic ruins. But, that's not all...
Dam Busting
As well as these ruins Gareth also got a massive Hydro Dam made by David Marshal of TM Terrain. This is the chap who helped build the Agincourt diorama/battlefield that the Perry twins had at the Tower of London. This stretches the entire 6ft across the board with some extended cliff faces.
This is incredibly impressive and I love the big gun emplacements atop it. I think this would be great for objective games and I could see some teams with jump packs landing on the drainage channels built into the front of the dam if they were daring enough.
Big props to Gareth for getting this terrain together and it means we're going to have to step up our game when it comes to building tables for Warhammer 40,000 I reckon. Let us know in the comments below what you think of this tabletop and the terrain involved.
What ideas do you have for big epic Sci-Fi boards?

Thucydides Release 0.9.92 – Improved Requirements reporting, screenshot blurring and bug fixes
Release 0.9.92 is now available and contains the following enhancements:
Improved requirements reporting
The Requirements reporting tab has been enhanced to show test results at a requirements level. This provides an overall view of the progress of the project by making it easier to view not only what stories have been implemented, but also features and capabilities that remain to be done. Here's a screenshot.
You can read more about Thucydides' approach to requirements reporting in this excellent blog post – Functional Test Coverage – Taking BDD Reporting To The Next Level
Blurring screenshots (Thucydides-116)
For security/privacy reasons, it may be required to blur sensitive screenshots in Thucydides reports. This is now possible by annotating the test methods or steps with the annotation
@BlurScreenshots. When defined on a test, all screenshots for that test will be blurred. When defined on a step, only the screenshot for that step will be blurred.
@BlurredScreenshot takes a string parameter with values
LIGHT, MEDIUM or
HEAVY to indicate the amount of blurring. For example,
@Test @BlurScreenshots("HEAVY") public void looking_up_the_definition_of_pineapple_should_display_the_corresponding_article() { endUser.is_the_home_page(); endUser.looks_for("pineapple"); endUser.should_see_definition_containing_words("A thorny fruit"); }
This feature is currently available for junit stories but we'll extend it shortly to jbehave and easyb.
Other enhancements and bug fixes
- Uninstantiated page objects in step libraries are now automatically instantiated.
- Fixed a bug that caused tests to wait unnecessarily in subsequent steps after a step had failed.
- A custom requirements tag provider, if specified, will be given preference over the default file system based requirements provider.
Keep watching this space for more updates and announcements.
New features in Thucydides 0.7.10
The latest version of Thucydides (0.7.10) to be released has some great new features! Find out more below:
Flag a test as 'pending' or 'ignored' from within a test step/page object
This is useful if a test can't be completed for reasons outside the scope of the test, which occasionally happens with acceptance tests. To do this, just call 'Thucydides.pendingStep()' or 'Thucydides.ignoredStep()', as shown here:
public String findFirstPartiallyPublishedBookingId() { String partiallyPublishedBookingId = null; try { partiallyPublishedBookingId = getFirstBookingIDWithStatus("Partially Published"); } catch (NoMatchingBookingFoundError e) { Thucydides.pendingStep("No partially published booking available"); } return partiallyPublishedBookingId; }
Both methods take a message as an argument, which appears in the final report, on the screenshot corresponding to the step where this occured. Any steps following a pending step will be flagged as 'ignored'. Any steps following a step marked as 'ignored' in this way will be executed normally.
Improved reporting
The reports in Thucydides 0.7.10 come with a brand new dashboard which provides you with a quick overview of the state of your tests, as well as many other improvements:
Proxy support
If you need to use a proxy to access the web site you are testing, you can now do this by providing the system properties thucydides.proxy.http and thucydides.proxy.http_port. Note: This feature is currently supported for Firefox only.
Tell us what you think of the changes…
Managing state between steps
Sometimes it's useful to be able to pass information between steps. For example, you might need to check that a client's details that were entered into a registration form appear correctly on a confirmation page later on.
You could do this by storing the values in local variables, as illustrated in the following example:
@Test public void "Search property when creating ad"() { login.login_as(UserAccount.A_DIVISION_WITHOUT_OPENS); property_owner.chooses_to_place_a_new_ad() property_owner.selects_ad_category_and_style("Houses For Sale", "Premium Ad Style") def publicationName = pages[PublicationDatesPage].publicationName; def publicationDate = pages[PublicationDatesPage].publicationDate; property_owner.presses_continue() publication_manager.select_first_existing_property() property_owner.publish_ad() def displayedPublicationName = pages[ConfirmationPage].getPublicationDate(); def displayedPublicationDate = pages[ConfirmationPage].getPublicationName(); assertThat(displayedPublicationDate, is(publicationDate)); assertThat(displayedPublicationName, is(publicationName)); }
The problem with this approach is that it tends to clutter up the steps, and it also leaks implementation details into the high-level tests. Another approach is to use the Thucydides test session, which is essentially a hash map allowing you to store variables for the duration of a single test. You can obtain this session map using the Thucydides.getCurrentSession() static method.
In the following example, we store the publication name and date, obtained from the current web page, in the test session.
@Step public void notes_publication_name_and_date() { PublicationDatesPage page = pages().get(PublicationDatesPage.class); String publicationName = page.getPublicationName(); DateTime publicationDate = page.getPublicationDate(); Thucydides.getCurrentSession().put("publicationName", publicationName); Thucydides.getCurrentSession().put("publicationDate", publicationDate); }
public void checks_publication_details_on_confirmation_page() { ConfirmationPage page = pages().get(ConfirmationPage.class); String selectedPublicationName = (String) Thucydides.getCurrentSession().get("publicationName"); DateTime selectedPublicationDate = (DateTime) Thucydides.getCurrentSession().get("publicationDate"); assertThat(page.getPublicationDate(), is(selectedPublicationName)); assertThat(page.getPublicationName(), is(selectedPublicationDate)); }
@Test public void "Search property when creating ad"() { login.login_as(UserAccount.A_DIVISION_WITHOUT_OPENS); property_owner.chooses_to_place_a_new_ad() property_owner.selects_ad_category_and_style("Houses For Sale", "Liner + Large Header + Attention Getter") property_owner.notes_publication_name_and_date() property_owner.presses_continue() publication_manager.select_first_existing_property() property_owner.publish_ad() property_owner.checks_publication_details_on_confirmation_page() }
Thucydides 0.4.8 Released
A new version of Thucydides – version 0.4.8 – is now available in the Maven repositories.
One of the most important improvements in this latest version is that it uses Selenium 2.6, which supports all versions of Firefox from 3.0 to 7. Previous versions of Selenium did not work well with Firefox 6 and 7.
Other improvements have been made in the reporting features. By default, Thucydides opens a browser with a width of around 1000px. Sometimes, this is not enough, and you need a larger window to see all of the elements on your page in the screenshots. Thucydides 0.4.8 lets you define the witdh of the browser Thucydides opens via the thucydides.browser.width command line option. Read more

KABUL, Afghanistan – Nine Afghan schoolchildren and two international service members are among the 13 people killed by a suicide bomber in eastern Afghanistan today.
The bomber struck outside a government office as the children walked nearby. They attended a school in the neighborhood that had just let pupils out for the day.
A provincial police chief says American forces were also passing by as the explosives went off. The U.S.-led military coalition confirms that two service members died in the explosion, but it didn't confirm their nationalities.
An Afghan policeman was also killed.
Elsewhere today, seven more Afghan civilians, including two children, were killed when their vehicle hit a bomb in the road in an eastern Afghan province.
The Taliban and other militants have been stepping up bombings and raids on police posts nationwide, part of a test of the ability of Afghan security forces to hold their ground without international military forces, who are withdrawing from the country.

After our first breakfast in Hatyai, we took a cab and the driver drove us up the hill. We weren't sure where he was bringing us but it's a tourist spot, according to him.. so ok lorrrr
We went up the hill. They had a very big Buddha statue at the peak and a Kuan Yin statue halfway up. We could see the WHOLEEEEEEEEE Hatyai from here. Woot!
Hello Buddha.. (erm.. it's Buddha rite?.. >.<)
Hello Hemsem..
Some shots from the temple
Remember this shot? I had a shot like this before from Hongkong..
Ding dong bell.
Caught Adrian posing looking at Hatyai.
Last shot from the temple! Some birds caught in cages.
Now that we have gone UP, we went to the WATER next. Stay tuneddddddd.

Build Guide by snap
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Kog'Maw Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
-Nuke with your ulti
-Anticipate enemy movement
-Slow, Chase
-Not an iniciator, use your range as an advantage and hide in jungle until your team engages
-Scout bushes with your ulti to reveal enemy
Rune Choice
Because you are AP build for the most part, picking mid and getting to lvl6 asap should be your first goal, last hitting minions is also very important. Because of this, ap per lvl is the best rune choice, since you are most effective after lvl 6.
Summoner Spell Choice
I personally like ghost and flash because they are great escape and chase spells; and since kog has no escape abilities, these 2 summoner spells are vital.
-Icathian Surprise, this passive is kinda cool, lets say you get jumped by xin when your killing golem. Your at 60%hp and you manage to get xin down to 15-20% before he kills you. Follow him after you die and you will kill him too. This is also good early game where your soloing mid and lets say ash kills you before u kill her. Follow her and explode on her to get a kill as well.
-Void Ooze is not only a very good slow spell, it can also be a pretty good harrasing tool early game, it can be used to clear minions; ususally, one Void Ooze + one Living Artillery will kill all the caster minions. It is a very good nuke and can also be used as an escape ability.
-Bio-Arcane Barrage combined with Mandred's can take down tanks pretty quickly, it is also a very good chasing ability since it has a very good range; combined with lizard buff, you can chase almost any escaping enemy down
-Caustic Spittle, the passives gives attack speed(previously armor penetration). Can be used as a single nuke
-Living Artillery, your main dps spell, this is a long ranged, spammable nuke. It can devistate the enemy team in group fights, breaking the enemy formation and shaving off their hp. The trick to living artillery is to anticipate the movement of the other team. It is very good at chasing enemy runners. I also use this spell to reveal bush, checking bushes for enemy before entering has helped me and my teamates survive many times.
Rod of Ages- this gives you ap, mana, and hp, the passive on it also grants hp and mana over time. Catalyst of Protector(mana gem+ health gem) should be bought as soon as you have enough for it. It is a great item for you to stay in lane with since it replenishes your hp/mp everytime you level up. This can be used to bait and surpise your enemy for that kill.
Berserker's Greaves- Just because your AP build dosnt mean that you should ignore your physical dmg. Stacking a little attack speed can help you kill enemy players, in my opinon it is better then the spll pen boots.
Archangel's Staff- Because you will most likely be spamming your ulti very often, you will need alot of mana. This item not only provides this mana, it also gives you a passive increase in ap that scales with your mana pool. Pretty much all of your core items give you mana, giving you 3k + mana at lvl 18, the % of ap this item gives you is really good especially since your lich bane also benefit from more ap.
Lich Bane- when you have around 400-500 ap, the passive on this will be very good, not to mention the ap, run speed, mana and resist it gives you.
Zhonya's Ring- This item gives you a very good passive that lets you survive gank attempts and also a 25%increase in your ap along with a nice chunck of ap
Madred's Bloodrazor- This item is a standard item used by AD kog builds, in this build, this item is your last item because by the time you can afford and need it, it will be towards the end of the game and the tanks and enemy players would have enough hp for this to be effective. Combined with W, it not only gives you 10% dmg of your targets hp; but when you have lichbane, it will further boost your dps on tanks and the target you are killing.
Early game- Harras with a combination of E and W, make sure your teamates are actively calling MIAs so you dont get suprised ganked.
Mid Game- After level 6, if you havent B yet, try to do so by lvl 8 so you can at least pick up Catalyst Protector and boots. Use you ulti to nuke and finish off enemies. You can also start jungling for golem and start ganking in lanes.
Late Mid Game- When teamfights start, when two groups are at a stand off, use your range and shoot an ulti in enemy team, this will most likely reveal any gank attempts by them trying to circle around you. Also check bushes with your ulti for any ganks.
Late Game- Hide in bushes and start nuking when your team engages, finish off runners with your range. and GG
Always try to get both the golem and lizard buff whenever u can.
-Golem buff allows u to spam your ulti and not worry about mana. This is very very very annoying, even if your not killing the enemy, it prevents them from grouping up too much for a charge. Disrrupting their formation is sometimes the key in winning the team fight.
-Lizard buff allows you to chase down almost any enemy runners, the slow effect on it combined with your W = gg for runners
Note* this is my first guide so be nice, hPlease Vote if you like my Build, Also comment on where you think this build needs improvement.

Dog Details
Name: Mistle
Estimated DOB: 1 Dec 2005
Sex: Female
HDB Approved: No
Personality: Mistle must have done something right – When we were completely stretched, and could not find space nor fosterers to take her in, we were still determined to take her out from AVA. In the end, she had to be quarantined at the vet for a week. When she came to shelter, we were delighted at what a joy this lady was. She is very affectionate, and would stick to you like glue, and stuff her face in your palms for a headrub that mustn't end.
A dog her age often get overlooked by potential adopters, but we hope with her lovable demeanor, we will be able to find her a home soon, where she can live out her 2nd half of her life in warmth and comfort.

Illumina-compatible adapters for multiplexing DNA-seq libraries
The NEXTflex-96™ DNA Barcodes are compatible with Illumina® sequencing and provide flexibility and high-throughput capabilities in sequencing applications. They significantly increase scale while reducing costs by allowing the user to pool multiple library preparations in a single flow cell lane. These adapters compatible with Illumina® sequencing utilize an indexed adapter with an 8 nt unique sequence. This allows for proper differentiation between samples, preventing poor reads caused by single base errors introduced during PCR. The NEXTflex index is contained within the adapter sequence, eliminating the need to perform PCR to add flow cell binding sequences. The NEXTflex-96 DNA Barcode index sequences are designed to have a hamming distance of 4, allowing discrimination of different barcodes even in the case of an error in the barcode read.
These adapters are supplied in either a 96-well format (cat # 514105) or in microfuge tubes (cat # 514106). These barcodes can be used with single, paired-end, and multiplex reads and are compatible with the NEXTflex Rapid DNA-Seq Kit, the NEXTflex Methyl DNA-Seq Kit, the NEXTflex Cell Free DNA-Seq and other genomic DNA library prep protocols.
Do you want to index your samples but don't want to use 96 different barcodes? We also offer the NEXTflex DNA Barcodes in sets of 6, 12, 24, and 48 barcodes.
Do you want to multiplex more than 96 samples? The new
NEXTflex-HT™ Barcodes are ideal for researchers who want to multiplex up to 384 samples with single-index adapters.
NEXTflex RNA-Seq Barcodes and NEXTflex-96 RNA-Seq Barcodes are also available for your RNA-Seq multiplexing needs.
A PDF containing the indexes contained within the NEXTflex-96 DNA Barcodes can be downloaded here. Additionally, Excel files containing the index sequences are also available upon request.
Registration failure could occur if the color balance was not maintained between the red and green lasers (used to sequence A/C bases and G/T bases, respectively). Read our blog post, Tech Tips – Barcode Recommendations for Low Level Multiplexing, to learn how to avoid registration failure on an Illumina® sequencer caused by lack sufficient index sequence diversity.

New Year Ramblings
I've set some intentions for this new year (I don't make resolutions). I really need to find my niche and settle into it. I've got so many projects going now I don't seem to focus on any one thing long enough.
My daughter called the other day and was telling me about a book she'd just received called "Spiritual Marketing", by Joe Vitale. I'd read his original publication in 1999, and it really helped me for a time, but I failed to keep it in mind when I started slipping back into the old issues with self worth. I didn't realize it until three or four days later, but I went to the computer almost immediately and made this pattern for a pendant. I thought it was somehow significant that Janus, the deity of gates, doors, and hallways would creep into my mind at just that moment. Is this going to be a good selling pattern when I get it finished, or is it just to remind me to look ahead and be aware of the opportunities that arise? I don't know, but as soon as I get it beaded up, so I can see if the colors all work I guess I'll see.
One thing I know for sure, we must keep ourselves open to new possibilities, we must project what we want and let them happen. Sometimes we try so hard to make things happen that we block what could be.
Happy crafting throughout the year to all you crafters out there!

New Pattern
I've been playing around with African Netting which I learned as one of my first beading projects. The first time I made it, I used just one color, but a few weeks ago I looked at it and began to see designs in the netting. I sat down and made a pattern and as I worked that pattern, I saw another design, so I graphed that new design out on the finished pattern. It turned out so nice I decided to put the pattern up for sale. You can click on the title of this blog to see both designs.
Although I'm not generally a stringer, I was recently asked how to make an "Endless Necklace". It took me a while to figure out what they were talking about. I hope my article answered the question.

Mr & Mrs. Downie
Our visit to Canada has, sadly, been and gone too quickly. We had an absolutely wonderful time in Vancouver, Victoria, and all points to Banff. The travel arrangements were excellent. The hotels were all good and the various tours etc were again excellent.In addition to seeing numerous bears, eagles, the occasional whale etc., we were amazed at the size, the wilderness and peace of it all, and the Rockies were....the Rockies. People were incredibly and genuinely friendly and welcoming. So, many, many thanks for making the arrangements for us. we had a truly wonderful time...

Well just wanted to let you know we are back safely, having had the most wonderful trip. Everyone got on just dandy ! and they all thought it was the best holiday they had experienced, which is high praise because they have travelled a lot around the world. We had some memorable times, my favourite place was Peachland. We saw a classic car show in Penticton, which the boys loved. One grizzly, one black bear, lots of bald eagles and deer. No moose sadly. We were lucky with the 3 RV's from Westcoast, they were all three new, delivered just 2 days before we arrived! Big laugh at the expense of one of our group who considers himself a fast driver, got pulled up by the Sherriff of Clearwater for driving too slowly. it was FANTASTIC - we had to buy 4 more suitcases to get purchases home, opened our eyes to Canadian wine and Canadian hospitality
Jan Vening
A million thank yous for organising such an amazing holiday!!! Every day was a new adventure and we loved every minute of it! Canada and the Canadians were wonderful ! We were also pleased that we went on Gold Leaf....wow!!!! The Seaplane was a fantastic way to finish and we were the envy of many who had NOT included it in their itinerary!!! We have returned exhausted with THOUSANDS of photos and unforgettable memories all due to YOU!!!

The Block – Kara's Smile Gets Smugger and Smugger
The contestants must hate it when they lose a day of working on the renovations to be sent off The Block to do a "Shelly Challenge". But the TV beast must be fed and there is only so much plastering and floor laying the viewer can take so a challenge it is.
Last night the teams had to make two light pieces to go in their bedroom this week as well as buy two bedside tables to go with them.
The twins were pissed as they had already ordered their lighting. They were delegating all the making of it at a factory which resulted in the producer stepping in to tell them to do something. They then half heartedly spray painted it, and when they were back at the challenge room they got more hands on as a bemused Shelley looked on.
Brad and Dale mangled their copper pipes and were not in with a shot at winning. It will be interesting what they look like in their room.
Chantelle and Steve made two very creative retro service station pieces, they were really nice. She matched them with some vintage tin side drawers. Not sure how this will go with their modern in the wall bed. In fact did they even need bedside tables that have been thrust upon them.
Kara and Kyal did hanging wooden pendants which looked good. They paired this with the same side tables as the twins had, which just confirmed in Kara that she had great taste. However her ego got even larger when her and Kyal won the challenge making her look even more smugger then usual.
Do you think the best team won?
The Block Fans V Favourites on NINE Sunday to Thursday nights.

hey RR, thanks for the recap. im really surprised that you think Kara's smug/big ego. i didn't get that impression at all! what makes you think so? am really enjoying the block this season and am keen to see the first room reveal and know what kind of styles they all have. I also am quite liking the twins this year, even though last year i couldn't stand them!
- 3 tara { 02.06.14 at 11:48 am }
thanks RR. thats interesting. ill keep it in mind when watching. I did notice that both kara and kyle very obviously pause and think about the words they say to camera about the other teams to avoid saying anything negative in a mean way. but i thought that was quite nice.
- 4 ziii { 02.06.14 at 12:19 pm }
I liked Kara too, but maybe I didn't see the smug look either. I can't stand the twins and pick up on their snide remarks about the other teams or the fact they didn't do much work in the challenge. Loved that they got pulled up by the producer.
I did laugh every time Shelley said a $2500 laundry "appliances" from The Good Guys. That must be some fancy washing machines, dryers and irons.
- 5 Carol (without the e) { 02.06.14 at 12:42 pm }
I haven't watched it yet… but I think I agree with Kara when she wondered how Chantelle and Steve were going to get on in the real block.
Keep in mind… Chantelle was trying to put a Winnie the Poo pillow into a room to match the judge's style.
I think Kara was spot on.
- 6 Bella { 02.06.14 at 1:12 pm }
Is it just me or does Kara remind you of Ali from The Batchelor?
- 7 Gidgitvonlarue { 02.06.14 at 2:03 pm }
I'm glad you did this write up as my recording of the Block stopped too early just as they were judging the lights. I was hoping Chantelle & Steve would win but eh – smug Kara. Also it sounds harsh but I get the 'bit of a thicky' vibe from Kyle. The twins are just annoying, Brad & Dale just seem like they are goofing off constantly. I really do wish all four couples were new contestants. Seeing three of the four 'fav's' actually WON their seasons it just seems a tad unfair. Just like when they bring back contestants on Survivior – why bring back contestants that won?
- 8 PetieRee { 02.06.14 at 2:12 pm }
I was so relieved when I read the title of your article because it validated my thoughts that Kara is smug! In their first episode I quite liked KK & thought they would be chill & friendly. As each episode passes & with each win the look on Kara's face is more & more smug. I can't decide whether I like her or not but Kyal doesn't seem too bad so far.
Chantelle & Steve are infuriatingly naive. They seem like lovely people but I agree they are in way over their heads. I can only assume that was intentional casting for more mishaps
- 9 Agent 86 { 02.06.14 at 3:28 pm }
I'm not enjoying this season of The Block so far. And it's because none of the teams are likeable. I really don't like the returning players, especially the three who have already won The Block.
The twins are rude and arrogant. The boys are harmless enough, but don't appear to be taking it seriously at all. And neither of the new couples is engaging with Chantelle and Steve appearing as though they wandered onto set from another reality TV show entirely.
However, the actual "Block" is pretty great this year. An awesome space in a terrific character building. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the cast of House Rules is as entertaining as in the first season.
- 10 Shellbot { 02.06.14 at 4:05 pm }
Thought it strange too re: the $2500 in laundry appliances and then the winning team gets another $2500!? how can you spend that just on the smallest room in the house? Seems a waste to me. They could get a nice fridge or something at least… even the contestants faces looked nonplussed until they mentioned the $5000 cash, then they lit up :p
Oh and yes, Kara is smug but I can totally see how comparing herself to Chantelle could make her feel that way haha
- 11 layla { 02.06.14 at 4:06 pm }
I like kyal and Kara. They both seem like very skillful, headstrong and hard working people. Steve and chantelle, on the other hand, seem happy to let other people make decisions for them. I don't blame Kara for getting irritated at steve and chantelle during the challenge. Along with Chantelles horrible taste, they also strike me as being lazy.
- 12 Gabby { 02.06.14 at 10:15 pm }
I'm enjoying The Block. I think Kyal and Kara are working hard and getting stuck in to every day and went head first in to the challenge. When I saw Chantelle wandering around another 2nd hand shop, I wondered what on earth she was doing there, and then when she bought those two old chests, you were right RR, they won't go very well in their modern bedroom. All Chantelle and Steve seem to do are shop. Did you hear the way Steve spoke to Keith about the electrical plans, so cocky. He won't get far with an attitude like that.
The twins are just being the twins. I don't know much about the guys. They seem pretty laid back.
What do you mean by three winners? Who are the three winners?
- 13 PetieRee { 02.06.14 at 10:50 pm }
Gabby, the 3 winners are the twins & Brad
- 14 Gabby { 02.07.14 at 12:06 am }
Cheers, PetieRee. That's right, the twins had to share. Yes it would have been good if everyone were newbies and hadn't won before. The faves do have a bit of an unfair advantage, knowing the layout of the game. Anyway with Kyal being a builder and Kara being on the ball they are showing they are a force to be reckoned with already.
- 15 bella vita { 02.07.14 at 2:39 am }
I think the people cringing the most would have to be the couple that lost to Kyle and Kara. To see Steve and Chantelle (he is completely lazy and her style so far is more $2 shop than anything luxe) on this show is a complete waste of casting for people that actually HAVE a clue and want more than their 5 mins of fame. Going by her websites and past experience, she seems to want to dabble in everything, but not really good at anything at all.
The cameras at the moment are loving Kyle and Kara..and why would they not? He is a The Block dream…chippy, knows what he's doing…she is good at shopping and seems well organised. To me they seem like Josh and Jenna…and once you got to know them more and more they were very much disliked by the public for their smugness. I tip Kyle and Kara to win the season.
The twins this time don't seem to be overly upset leaving their young children, and after being asked nicely to leave by the SA police force (honestly, they couldn't go back to normal duties) what were they gonna do with their time? If they think anyone will want to buy homewares from complete bitches think again.
Brad and Dale. Absolute snore fest. Why they picked these two is beyond me. Dale had his extra 5 mins last year with Mark and Duncan…and Brad and Lara weren't that interesting last time.
Noticing of course they always go with the typical australian wholesome people.
I'd love to see a couple of Lebanese, Indians, Sri Lankans, Italians, Turkish etc etc in the mix…then we'd probably get fantastic tv with some interesting cultures in the mix!
- 16 Anonymous { 02.07.14 at 6:21 am }
I am fast losing interest in The Block this year and I think it's because the producers decided to bring back previous contestants. Part of the mystique of reality shows for me, is to get to see new contestants.
In this series I like KK and don't see her as "smug". They are a couple who work together in harmony (so far) and their individual skills appear to be good enough for them to go on and win this years Block.
- 17 Zhee { 02.07.14 at 6:59 am }
I think it was actually Techhater who commented on knowing Kara. He lso claimed she's a very nice and warm person. He wrote it as I also was a bit on RR's views regarding Kara. It was simply my impression as the editing didn't show her in a nice way towards Chantelle (who is really annoying).
Dale and Brad are for the comedic relief, that's all. I think people think they are nice blokes and fun to watch. The twins know what they are doing, have a great sense of style and their attitude makes great TV.
Chantelle and Steve, oh well, I guess they are going the be this year's Dan and Dani….
- 18 Shellbot { 02.07.14 at 7:15 am }
at least Dan and Dani had a good style and had applicable skills, I think they were more hated for their competitiveness where as C&S will just be an annoyance, like bringing your kid to work with you :p
C&S may be more like Dale and Sophie and have to win the judges over to their sense of style…
- 19 brain dead dave { 02.07.14 at 8:24 am }
Kyal and Kara can win, hopefully. Can't stand any of the Favs, especially the twin turds. Not interested in your bowel movements gels, I can tell you're both full of shit 24/7.
Apart from that not much is new about The Block and it's White Australia Policy. Let's party like it's 1959.
- 20 Zhee { 02.07.14 at 8:59 am }
Sorry Shellbot, I compared them to Dan and Dani regarding the hate they will receive. I suppose they were chosen being the black sheep, only lacking sense of style. Even if they go down the Dale & Sophie route, they still will make 4th place.
- 21 PetieRee { 02.07.14 at 10:05 am }
Maybe Kara just has a smug looking smile/smirk. I think her & Kyal are talented & will have a great place & if they can keep their egos in check & not get cocky then they will probably end up being the majority's favourite team. The boys probably have little chance of winning but, as was mentioned, will be comedic relief throughout the show.
What I am really happy about is that the judges won't know who they are judging! I hope it would stay that way throughout the series but I highly doubt it. I think they can't help but let their bias (positive or negative) affect their scores at least a little bit
- 22 Agent 86 { 02.07.14 at 12:02 pm }
I'm liking the Super Ks more and more. But, I'm still wary about whether their design skills will be to the judges' liking.
I was really put-off by the juvenile humour from Dale (or is it Brad) in the most recent episode. Is The Block really so desperate for footage that they needed to screen the boner and breast so-called humour? If I didn't dislike that team before, I certainly do now.
The twins were their usual selves. I'm intrigued about the need for an outdoor shower in an apartment. Is the building near the beach? Does their apartment have its own private pool? I thought they were in the inner-city and there was only a community/residents pool?
And the six stairs to a tiny study area also baffles me. Who wants to walk up and down six stairs to a tiny little heightened floor area whenever they want something from their desk?
I think Chantelle and Steve are in for a huge shock at the first judging. I don't think any of the judges are a fan of purchases from $2 stores, The Reject Shop or bargain basement blinds and curtains. And, to be fair, given the expected reserves for these apartments, I think the buyers would be expecting more as well.
I really hope they maintain the "blind" judging for the entire series. I'm not sure that will be possible, but it would be a great way to ensure that the scores are fair. In previous years, a bit of bias did seem to creep in for some of the teams from time to time.
- 23 Gabby { 02.07.14 at 1:18 pm }
I must have missed that about the blind judging but I am pleased to hear it. I think the judges are fairly good on judging who has designed what though, it won't take them long to work out what apartment belongs to which couple.
- 24 Anonymous { 02.10.14 at 11:10 pm }
First room reveal (Darren, Shayna, Neale)
As if the judges didn't know who designed what. Can't say the stairway to nowhere is very practical in the twins room.
I would like to know if the couples did consult with an architect before committing to the floorplan to get the proportions right. At the moment the drama about waste holes makes me think that of all the Block properties this is so not the one to purchase.
Its a shame though as it is an apartment block that could have had some character if done professionally and not as a backdrop for tv drama.
- 25 trisha { 03.03.14 at 10:17 am }
not enjoying the smug super k's. think the others should just let them do the competitions whilst they get on with the renovations. that way they don't waste time when they won't win anyway. How funny would that be.

Acne Treatment That Works
Acne is a complicated condition, but treating it doesn't have to be. We've created a system that's easy to follow, eliminating any possible guesswork. The Proactiv+ method is a three-step combination therapy approach, to be used over the entire face, not just on individual pimples. Using it consistently, as you would any skincare system, is key to helping prevent new breakouts. The beauty of Proactiv+ is that it tackles all aspects of mild-to-moderate acne by unplugging pores, attacking bacteria and is designed to minimize the irritation commonly associated with benzoyl peroxide. And Proactiv+ works both immediately to treat acne pimples, as well as over time to help prevent more breakouts.
We've mastered our formulations to ensure that you are using high quality ingredients effectively. Proactiv+ contains three proven acne-fighting medicines: Benzoyl peroxide (BPO), salicylic acid and sulfur. Benzoyl peroxide kills the p. acnes bacteria that cause acne.
With Proactiv+ Smart Target® technology, the BPO medicine is pulled right into the pore where the bacteria lives. With "more in the pore," the benzoyl peroxide shouldn't sit on the skin's surface where it could cause irritation. Salicylic acid works on blackheads, whiteheads and plugged pores by helping slough off dead skin cells. Sulfur reduces redness and irritation. Each step builds on the previous one; it's logical, orderly and it works.
Step One: Cleanse

Second of two parts
With municipalities in so much financial trouble, now is the time for banks to rev up lending to them. Wait a second …
Odd as it sounds that's what banks are doing, and so far the strategy isn't getting panned.
"Fiscal positions [of municipalities] are likely to improve substantially rather than get worse," said Daniel Mullins, an associate professor at American University and director of the school's Center for Public Finance Research. "The track records of governments in the U.S. are quite good in paying off their debts."
For all the headlines about the budget woes of state and local governments, banks see them as good clients.
Most market experts say there are plenty of investment-grade municipalities to court. In addition to underwriting services, banks provide municipalities with credit products, deposit services and prepaid cards for tax refunds, benefits and payroll.
"[For] all the reasons we like this clientele, so does everybody else," said Patrice DeCorrevont, head of government, not-for-profit and health care banking within JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s commercial bank. "They need and use a lot of bank products."
DeCorrevont's unit brings in about 15%-20% of the commercial bank's revenue, she said; in the fourth quarter that revenue totaled $1.6 billion.
With billions of dollars of bank guarantees on a type of variable-rate debt that municipalities issue coming due this year, the opportunities are great for banks to renew existing relationships with local governments and make new ones — sometimes on more lucrative terms, experts said.
Richard Ciccarone, chief research officer at McDonnell Investment Management, a fixed-income asset managerin Oak Brook, Ill., said banks "that have intensified their research capabilities and understanding … and applied strict standards are going to feel empowered … not only to take advantage of fee income opportunities in this area but also to broaden their banking relationships with government entities in general."
Return to Sender
Municipalities have historically relied on the public debt markets to raise funds for schools, infrastructure improvements and other capital projects, as well as general operating expenses. In addition to selling long-term, fixed-rate bonds, many municipalities issue what are known as variable-rate demand obligations, or VRDOs. Because the interest rates on VRDOs reset regularly, they typically track other short-term interest rates. The yields on VRDOs, like long-term municipal bonds, are tax-exempt.
As the interest rates reset, VRDOs are remarketed to new investors. To make the VRDO more salable in the short-term market, the issuer includes a "put" option, or the right for investors to sell the VRDO back to the issuer whenever they want. The municipality pays a bank a fee to agree to pay investors in the event they want out. This is known as a letter of credit.
The fees banks earn on letters of credit have made it a valuable business, experts say.
"For commercial banks interested in participating in the municipal bond market, extending letters of credit can be a very lucrative business," said Thomas McLoughlin, managing director and head of municipal research at UBS. "There is a lot of demand."
In recent years, the number of banks participating in this business has declined because market participants favor highly rated lenders. So the handful of big banks that are active in the market have seen their share of business grow.
According to Thomson Reuters, JPMorgan Chase was the biggest issuer of new letters of credit to municipalities last year, with 41 issues totaling $3 billion. Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co., Barclays PLC and PNC Financial Services Group Inc. rounded out the top five, which issued a total of $7.1 billion.
However, the total value of the market is difficult to determine because only new deals are tallied, not renewals.
The nature of the relationship between banks and municipalities is on the verge of a transformation, with as much as $101.3 billion of letters of credit set to expire this year, according to a recent estimate from the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association.
Competition for that business may soften because banks will have to hold more capital against those letters.
"Greater skepticism might be built into letter of credit renewals in the future," Ciccarone said. "It won't be an automatic knee-jerk rubber-stamp. … What is driving that is tougher capital standards being placed on the banks."
The Capital Factor
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision plans to force banks to hold more capital behind off-balance-sheet assets, like letters of credit. While Basel III is still several years away from implementation, it no doubt has some banks reconsidering the letters-of-credit business. As a result, many experts expect banks to make more direct loans to municipalities.
"They may determine that direct loans are a more efficient way" to finance state and local governments, McLoughlin said.
Joseph Pucella, a vice president and senior analyst on Moody's banking team, cited other reasons banks are looking at making more loans to state and local governments.
"We still think the main driver is the opportunity to increase lending when there is a lack of demand in other portfolios," he said.
Eyes Wide Open?
But are municipalities, many of which are facing budget constraints, ideal borrowers?
DeCorrevont says yes.
"We're very comfortable with the way we're going to get paid back in the municipal space," she said, but stressed that JPMorgan Chase doesn't "lend to every entity in every sector." The bank looks at each potential borrower in the municipal sector "completely from the bottom up," she said.
It's important to keep the fiscal problems of municipalities in perspective, analysts said.
"Credit stress in the municipal market is real," said Naomi Richman, managing director of Moody's U.S. Public Finance Group. However, "it's primarily a budget problem, more so than a debt problem. … Debt payments make up a very small portion of these municipalities' budgets."
Richman said she believes default levels will remain low.
"Even in 2008, which was the peak year of the financial crisis, there were only five defaults among many, many thousands of issues," she said. "We do think that number could go up a little bit. It's likely to be an uptick, not a mass wave of defaults. The vast majority of municipalities are investment grade."
For municipalities, a direct loan is a simpler, and potentially cheaper, form of financing.
"Entering the bond market is expensive, so for small communities this certainly might be a reasonable alternative," Mullins said.
Prepaid card services are another key part of the banking relationship with municipalities, especially in light of pending interchange fee restrictions on debit cards under the Dodd-Frank Act. Government-issued prepaid cards are exempt from the proposed 12-cent cap on debit interchange fees. That means banks have an opportunity to earn fees on the use of prepaid cards governments issue for tax rebates, employee benefits and other uses.
Bank of America, for example, has a deal to provide Visa Inc.-branded prepaid debit cards to the state of California for the issuance of its disability and paid family-leave benefits. This spring the state will begin issuing unemployment benefits electronically.
Bill Sheedy, president of the Americas for Visa, said at a recent financial services conference that payroll and government programs are where most of the growth in prepaid card services will come from.
"The banks are heavily invested and I think you're going to continue to see a lot of strong growth there," he said.
"You're going to see more and more financial institution investment in prepaid, in part because of government payroll and these other programs, and in part because … there are opportunities for financial institutions to innovate and test all kinds of new products."

Nissan recalls nearly 1M cars for air bag failure
Nissan i hermes s recalling 1 million vehicles because the air bag system s hermes oftware might not be able to tell whether there is a person sitting in the front passenger seat, so the air bag might not inflate in a crash.
It's the second passenger air bag recall for some of the vehicles. Last April, 82,038 2013 model vehicles from the same group were recalled because a sensor was improperly manufactured and might prevent the passenger bag from working in a crash.
Nissan noted in documents on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that there have been accidents, but no injuries or deaths were specified.
The recent action involves what's called the occupant classification system, which judges wheth hermes er any hermes one is sitting in the passenger's seat in order to decide whether to inflate the bag if there is a crash.
Nissan documents say the system might not work if there is "high engine vibration at idle when the seat is initially empty and then becomes occupied, or unusual occupant seating postures immediately upon being seated."
Dealers will reprogram the system at no charge.
The latest action involves 989,701 Nissan and Infiniti brand vehicles, including some of the automaker's best sellers:Nissan provided a detailed chronology indicating that it has been investigating reports of the problem since last spring, conducted a recall for a different problem then, but continued to see warranty claims. It began investigating anew last August, is aware of two incidents and has determined the latest issue as software requiring a recall.

ÉTS Receives Support from the Federal and Provincial Governments
After 20 years of growth, ÉTS is expanding its campus within the Quartier de l'innovation
May 5, 2017
A new pavilion will house a high-performance computing centre,
approximately thirty classrooms, workshops associated with ÉTS student clubs and a learning and relaxation area.
The new pavilion that will be built behind the Maison des étudiants (Student House) will house a high-performance computing centre, classrooms and workshops for student clubs.
École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) and its partners announced their plans for a $67.1 M investment, the largest since the school arrived in the Sud-Ouest Borough in 1997. The announcement was made jointly by Kirsty Duncan, the Canadian Minister of Science, Hélène David, the Québec Minister of Higher Education, and Harout Chitilian, Vice-Chair of the Ville de Montréal Executive Committee.
Three separate projects will be financed through the Canadian Strategic Investment Fund and the Québec Infrastructure Plan: the repurposing of the DOW Planetarium, the expansion and reconfiguration of the library and the construction of a new pavilion. According to Pierre Dumouchel, Director General of ÉTS: "This morning's announcement represents a substantive level of support for ÉTS that will allow us to adequately respond to the significant increase in our clientele over the past several years. ÉTS is delighted with this confirmation of financial support from the federal and provincial governments for the completion of the three projects that are being funded, and we would like to express our sincere gratitude. I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the ongoing support that we receive from the Ville de Montréal in connection with the development of ÉTS."
The DOW Planetarium, which was ceded to ÉTS by the Ville de Montréal, will be used for the expansion of Centech, one of the largest business incubators in Canada for technological companies with strong commercial potential. Among other services, this breeding ground for new ideas will offer open innovation spaces for large corporations. This project will receive $3.3 M in federal funding and $3.4 M from the provincial government.
The upgrading of the library is necessary primarily due to the lack of space, because it has essentially remained the same size since it was first opened. On the other hand, the student clientele has increased from 3,500 students in 1997 to more than 10,600 in 2017. The library spaces also need to be reconfigured to accommodate new information technologies and new learning spaces in order to deliver a superior-quality student experience and to meet the growing need for spaces dedicated to studying, the provision of services and learning. This project will be able to meet these objectives thanks to a federal contribution of $2.5 M, along with $2.8 M in provincial funding and a $1.3 M investment by ÉTS.
Finally, the construction of a new pavilion will be made possible thanks to support from the Government of Canada in the amount of $26.9 M and a $16.1 M investment from the Government of Québec, along with $10.8 M from ÉTS. Among other things, this new pavilion will house a high-performance computing centre, approximately thirty classrooms, workshops associated with ÉTS student clubs and a learning and relaxation area. In addition, a park will be built to tie the new pavilion in with the Maison des étudiants, which is located nearby.
In the usual order: Harout Chitilian, Vice-Chair of the Ville de Montréal Executive Committee; David Lametti, Member of Parliament representing LaSalle-Émard-Verdun and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development; Kirsty Duncan, Canadian Minister of Science; Hélène David, Québec Minister of Higher Education; Jean-René Halde, Chairman of the ÉTS Board of Directors; Pierre Dumouchel, Director General of ÉTS.

Al Jazeera America is urging customers to send letters asking cable providers to add the network to their lineups before the channel's August 20 premiere.
The fledgling news network faces the same critical issue as Al Gore's former network; after purchasing Gore's Current TV, Al Jazeera America inherited the channel's viewer deficit. In fact, it has even lost more homes after its purchase.
Via its website, the new foreign-owned news network is urging likely viewers to ask cable providers to add the Al Jazeera America channel to their cable packages and have prepared a helpful form letter for customers to use.
The letter appears after potential customers add their zip code, name, and email address.
The letter reads:
I am writing to request that you add Al Jazeera America as part of your channel lineup. I want to watch Al Jazeera America for its objective, balanced, in-depth news reporting on stories that matter.
Please let me know when I can expect to see Al Jazeera America as a channel option.
Al Jazeera America is expected to replace Current TV on Comcast, Dish Network, Verizon, DirecTV, and AT&T.
At its height, Current TV was available in 64 million homes, but with its debut on the 20th, Al Jazeera America will appear in only 48 million.
By contrast, MSNBC, the nation's third-ranked cable news network, appears in about 96 million homes and rarely draws more than several hundred thousand viewers per program.

When you type set /?, the portion of help that relates to environment variable substitution contains:
%PATH:str1=str2% would expand the PATH environment variable, substituting each occurrence of "str1" in the expanded result with "str2". "str2" can be the empty string to effectively delete all occurrences of "str1" from the expanded output. "str1" can begin with an asterisk, in which case it will match everything from the beginning of the expanded output to the first occurrence of the remaining portion of str1.If str1 contained an unknown number of unknown characters preceding a known string, you can use the * character to remove them.

Wedding Hairdressers Edinburgh - Best Wedding Hair Tips in Edinburgh
1: Prepare Well
If your going to have something done to your hair like having a perm, colour, or some other treatment, make sure you give yourself at least 1 month before your wedding date. This will give your style time to soften a little, so that your photos will look natural. And if you change your mind, you won't be stuck for time.
Preparation is important. read this wedding hairdressers Edinburgh report on how to prepare your hair.
2: Time it Right
If your planning on having a striking up-do, don't get it done first thing in the morning. And don't get it pulled back overly tight. You might find your scalp starting to get sore, and the last thing you want is a headache on your wedding day.
3: The Honeymoon
If you're going to a really hot destination, avoid damaging your hairstyle by applying factor thirty sunscreen to your hair ends only. This will help to prevent colour fade, and any damage from the sun.
4: Cutting
Have a quick cut and blow dry every 3 weeks prior to your wedding to make sure you don't have a split end in sight, and to keep your hair looking majestic.
5: Choosing a Wedding Hairdresser
Wedding hairdressing is rather different to normal everyday hairdressing, and your regular hairdresser may not be familiar wedding styles, so make sure you choose a good wedding hairdressing specialist, so that you don't end up feeling disappointed.
6: Keep it Simple
In an effort to have the most amazing wedding hairstyle ever photographed in Edinburgh you might end up doing the opposite, and having it backfire on you. The more complicated a hairstyle you want, the more there is to potentially go wrong, and you don't want to add to the stress you are already feeling.
If your wedding venue is anywhere around Edinburgh, contact Sarah to see if your date is available.

Scotiabank's gift of $500,000 to expand Multiple Sclerosis Clinic at Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital MONTREAL, May 26 /CNW/ - Scotiabank today announced a donation of $500,000 to the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital's (The Neuro) "Thinking Ahead" campaign, which will expand the hospital's Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Clinic. The expanded facility will result in improved service and care for people with MS. "Canadians have one of the highest rates of MS in the world, and while most often MS is diagnosed in young adults, it affects people of all ages," said Diane Giard, Scotiabank Senior Vice-President, Quebec/Eastern Ontario. "As employer of choice, employee health and well-being are very important to Scotiabank - and health issues are very important to our employees, customers and the communities we serve." The Neuro's original MS Clinic was established in 1949, the first in Canada, and it has remained a priority for clinical and research activities ever since. Many patients with MS are now living longer, more productive lives thanks to improvements in treatments available in recent years and every year physicians at The Neuro see more patients. Currently, Neuro scientists lead numerous international multidisciplinary programs and clinical trials and are conducting twelve clinical studies at the present time. Neuro physicians follow 2,000 patients in the MS Clinic and see close to 4,300 patients annually. The Scotiabank expansion will give Neuro physicians and researchers the space and facilities to enhance multi-disciplinary research and patient care. "For almost 75 years, patients at The Neuro have benefited from an environment where there is constant interaction between clinicians and researchers," said Dr. David R. Colman, Director of The Neuro. "Private funding has always been essential to this effort and we salute Scotiabank for its crucial support of our programs." The Neuro's clinical expansion will create 7,624 square feet of multi-purpose shared clinical space, physically located in one area, where patients can be seen by a diverse yet all-encompassing health care team. The multi-disciplinary approach includes strengths in neurosurgery, neurology, radiation oncology, neuropsychology, psychiatry and includes physicians, nurses, social workers, physical, occupational and speech therapists, nutritionists, and psychologists. By consolidating all of these resources in one location - a one-stop approach - patients and their families can discuss treatment options with their health care team all in the course of one visit. Scotiabank's support will enhance the ability of clinicians to provide researchers with valuable information about the patients, the disease progression being seen in the Clinic, and the effectiveness of treatments. This, in turn, will enhance the translation of basic research findings to the development of novel treatments and therapies, an approach that makes the Neuro unique and holds great promise for significant progress in the battle against MS. About the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital ------------------------------------------------------ The Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) is a unique academic medical centre dedicated to neuroscience. The Neuro is a research and teaching institute of McGill University and forms the basis for the Neuroscience Mission of the McGill University Health Centre.
