Jenny Bingham, PharmDTransition of Care Coordinator, Medication Management Center University of Arizona College of Pharmac · Tucson, AZBrenda Carle, RN, BSN, PCCNTransition of Care CoordinatorTucson Medical Center · Tucson, AZ
ABSTRACT:This presentation reviews how an acute care hospital in Southern Arizona and a medication therapy management company collaborated to design and implement a multiple touch-point Discharge Companion Program to offer high-risk patients a personalized, team-based, post-discharge consultation service by an interprofessional care coordination team. The value of the team approach to enhance the continuum of care needs and outcomes for patients, the role of each team member, and the program's workflow will be described. Program outcomes will be reviewed along with considerations for replication and future collaborations.
Jan Dougherty, MS, RN, FAANSpecial Projects Consultant, Family & Community ServicesBanner Alzheimer's Institute · Phoenix, AZ
ABSTRACT:Alzheimer's disease/related dementia affects 5.4 million Americans and will increase to 16 million by 2030. These conditions have limited medical treatments and no cure, thus making it a leading cause of death in the US. Medicare and Medicaid costs are significantly higher in this population and care coordination is needed to educate, guide, and support affected people and their family caregivers. Many case managers lack the knowledge base about dementia and become overwhelmed in trying to direct care towards cost effective and quality outcomes. This session will review the basics of dementia while providing practical tools that assist case managers to succeed in their efforts.
Shelia Sjolander, MSWAssistant Director, Division of Public Health Prevention Services Arizona Department of Health Services · Phoenix, AZ
ABSTRACT:In 2016, Arizona experienced a startling increase in opioid deaths, triggering Governor Doug Ducey to declare
a public health emergency for opioid overdoses. With the Arizona Department of Health Services leading the charge, the emergency
declaration set in motion substantial action to curb the opioid epidemic. This session will discuss the most recent data, response
activities, and how the state is implementing the Opioid Action Plan.
Jennifer Drago, FACHE, MHSA, MBAExecutive Vice President, Population HealthSun Health · Surprise, AZ
ABSTRACT:Transitions of care programs come in many shapes and sizes, but all are not comparable in terms of outcomes and long-term cost savings. From a nationally-recognized, award-winning program, you will learn key program attributes that will propel your own efforts forward. Participants will also learn why transitions of care programs should be considered a population health strategy, not just a readmission reduction initiative
Dennette Janus, MA, LPCQuality Improvement Specialist – Behavioral Health Health Services Advisory Group · Phoenix, AZBurton Korer, MSN, RN-BC, CPHQ, CADDCTChief Executive Officer, Board Certified Case Manager/ Healthcare Quality ProfessionalKorman Healthcare · Phoenix, AZ

Finally a chocolate chip cookie that I can cook for Mikey. It's almost like your standard chocolate chip cookie but with Rapadura sugar instead of processed white sugar and a mix of whole wheat pastry flour and unbleached white flour instead of solely white flour. I probably could go all the way with just whole wheat pastry flour but it's hard to separate from the fluffiness of the white flour when baking. White flour has a lighter texture because it has less gluten than whole wheat flour. I mix everything into one bowl so there's minimal dishes.
1 egg
3/4 cup Rapadura sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Melt butter in saucepan. Mix the egg, sugar, salt, and vanilla into a bowl. Add cooled melted butter. I don't want to add hot butter because it will cook the egg. Add both flours, the baking soda, and finally the chips. Butter two cookie sheets or use parchment paper. Put about 12 cooks per sheet and cook for 15 minutes. Makes 24 cookies.
Tip: In this recipe, I use baking soda because the chocolate is the acidic ingredient that reacts with the baking soda to cause the bubbles of carbon dioxide. If I didn't have the chocolate I might have to use baking powder.

Attorney General Ken Paxton today filed a lawsuit accusing Asplundh Tree Expert Company of neglect in connection with the 2011 Bastrop Complex Fire. The vegetation management company, contracted by Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative (BEC), neglected to keep easements around local powerlines clear of trees and debris, which led to the disastrous fire. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department seeks over $1 million in damages for repairs, replanting and habitat mitigation in the Bastrop State Park.
Asplundh has a Storm Center that tracks weather patterns and oversees the deployment of Asplundh employees for emergency storm restoration. At a critical time, Asplundh inexplicably sidestepped the Storm Center and failed to send requested crews. Invoices and work orders show Asplundh previously failed to remove dead or dying trees, and the information provided to BEC was inadequate and inaccurate.
"Six years after the tragic fire, the Bastrop State Park is still living with the consequences of blatant neglect, and wildlife has decreased dramatically," Attorney General Paxton said. "My office will not stand by and allow the party who could have prevented this destruction to shirk responsibility."
The Bastrop Complex Fire burned across 32,400 acres for over a month in Bastrop County, killed two people and destroyed 1,696 residential and commercial structures. Documented sightings of the Houston toad and other native wildlife have dropped precipitously since the fire, which burned with enough intensity to kill most of the trees covering 91 percent of the 5,158 acres of pine and pine/oak woodlands in the Bastrop State Park. In the park, 96.5 percent of the total acreage was burned by fire.

Unlike conventional leafy house plants, most cacti require little pampering or even space, which makes them an ideal choice for plant buffs on the go with limited time and room to care for them. Beyond these virtues, the cacti include fanciful, often bizarre forms that are never lacking for interest.
With inbred ability to survive even under adverse conditions, the cacti are right at home in the warm, dry atmosphere of homes and apartments that so often is detrimental to leafy specimens. Some actually will thrive in situations where other plants may languish. And at times some may even surprise you with exotic blooms.
As for space, a modest collection of different kinds of small cacti can be grown in dish gardens or other diminutive pots and containers. Even young plants or seedlings of the big fellows, such as old man cactus, giant saguaro, prickly pears and jumping cholla, can be grown for years in such accommodations before they become large enough to be a problem.
Cactus varieties range from the spineless kinds that develop into dramatic specimens several feet tall, such as those in the Cereus or night- flowering groups, to smaller peanut, button and hedgehog types. Sections or ``joints`` from prickly pear, cholla and other large-growing specimens will root readily in a sandy loam and can complement other varieties until they outgrow them.
While it is impossible in limited space to describe the full range of cactus varieties, which number well over 1,500, cactus enthusiasts find it fun if not a challenge to seek out the identity of those they are growing.
Home cactus collections usually are started with a few inexpensive potted plants purchased at neighborhood plant shops or supermarkets or obtained on impulse at roadside stands while traveling through desert regions of the Southwest. The young plants have such irresistible appeal that they sell themselves.

The Healthy Families America Site Development Guide (rev. 2014) is a guidebook that provides information for sites on planning, developing, and implementing an HFA site. The HFA Best Practice Standards offer specific guidelines on HFA model implementation.
The HFA National Office provides sample service delivery forms.
The HFA National Office requires use of a standardized assessment instrument that measures key risk factors for child abuse and neglect, and other poor childhood outcomes. Most HFA sites use the parent survey (formerly the Kempe Family Stress Checklist) as their assessment tool. Sites may submit a formal request to use an alternate assessment tool; approval is at the discretion of the HFA National Office.
The HFA National Office does not require sites to use a specific curriculum; however, it does require that sites use an evidence-informed curriculum with (1) participant/family materials and (2) a facilitator's manual with specific guidelines for delivering the curriculum and a focus on anticipatory guidance. The curriculum should address the HFA goals related to cultivating, strengthening, and nurturing parent-child relationships; promote healthy childhood growth and development; and enhance family functioning by reducing risk and building protective factors.
HFA sites can select a curriculum that is available in the languages spoken by its target population. Many sites implement curricula that are available in English and Spanish.
To validate adherence to the HFA model, sites must comply with accreditation requirements, which involves conducting a program self-assessment; undergoing a peer-review site visit that is conducted by at least two external, nationally trained peer reviewers; and meeting a minimum 85% threshold of adherence to the HFA Best Practice Standards.
All HFA sites are required to adhere to 12 critical elements that serve as the framework for program development and implementation. The 12 critical elements are operationalized as best practice standards with specific criteria for rating site compliance. The critical elements include:
Service Initiation
Service Content
Administration (Personnel, Staffing, Training, Supervision, Governance and Administration)
The information contained on this page was last updated in May 2015. HFA/8/7#devreferences"> Recommended Further Reading lists the sources for this information. In addition, the information contained in this profile was reviewed for accuracy by the HFA National Office in April 2015. HomVEE reserves the right to edit the profile for clarity and consistency.

Do you shoot weddings?
Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: I love weddings. Seriously. Love. From the surprise proposal, to the "We're engaged!" Facebook post, to the planning sessions over a cup of coffee, to the morning-of jitters, to the tearful first look, to the tipsy uncles at the reception, to the cupcakes to top off the night...I LOVE IT ALL!
I think of myself as more than your wedding photographer. I've fluffed trains and and pinned boutonnieres and fetched vodka sodas and cut wedding cake (seriously!). I'm there with you from the initial planning stages until people start getting jiggy with it on the dance floor, which makes my job as the photographer easy peasy because I'm totally at home with your people and your plan.
I offer a very limited number of weddings every year, and I tend to book up about a year and a half in advance. If you're interested in booking, please contact me as soon as you're able!
Will you travel for our session?
Heck yes, I LOVE to travel! Because of my busy schedule, I offer a limited number of traveling sessions each year. Please contact me for more information!
How can I get in touch with you about booking?
Start here!
When do you shoot?
I shoot on weekday evenings around sunset. Depending on the time of year, that's anytime between 5-9PM. I do not shoot on weekends, as those days are reserved for weddings and family time!
I realize this can be a challenge with small children, but believe me, it's worth it! Typically, my clients plan an extra nap during the day or use a fun treat as an incentive to get kids in the best moods before the sessions. But, don't worry about it too much! I promise to make it super fun for them, and stress-free for you!
Where do you photograph your sessions?
The short answer is, everywhere! We'll work together before your session to determine the best place for your portraits.
If you have ideas for locations, I'd love to hear them! If you're totally stumped, that's cool too; I've got a ton of locations that I love to shoot at.
How long are your sessions? What do they cost?
My senior sessions last 2-3 hours. The average senior client invests $800-$1200 start to finish.
My family sessions are typically 1 hour long. I work extra fast to make sure we get great photos before the kiddos burn out of energy! My family sessions are $500.
My engagement sessions are typically 1 hour long and are included in wedding collections.
For more specific pricing information, shoot me an email and we'll chat.
When is payment due for my session?
For any session, I require the retainer to book, and full payment the day before your session.
What happens after we schedule a session?
I'll get you all set up in your New Client Portal, where all your information for the session is stored. We'll sign the contract, and you'll get an invoice with details on how to pay the non-refundable retainer to reserve your date. Then, you're officially booked!
In the weeks/days before your session, we will be in touch via phone and email. I'll send you resources on how to prepare, what to wear, and overall session tips. You are more than welcome to contact me with any questions you may have; even if that means asking what colors will look good in a photo as you are shopping at Macy's! Part of your session fee is my help on styling your session, so use me as a resource!
You'll get an email 1-2 days before your session with final details on where we are meeting and when. Then...we shoot! That's the fun part, of course. We'll also set up a time 1-2 weeks after your session for your Premiere Ordering Session! At that time, we'll view your images for the first time and go through all the fabulous products you can order for your home!
How long until I see the images from my session?
Depending on the time of year (summer and fall are busy!) you'll see previews within one week. About 2 weeks after your session, you'll see your full gallery of images. Again, this varies depending on busy season.

A retreat at Mountain Waters is about stepping back from the busy edge of life. It involves learning, looking inward and regaining a sense of equilibrium so that you return home with a renewed capacity to live life on your own terms. As human beings we are creatures of context. Change the surroundings, and people show up in their lives in much different ways. This opens up new avenues, and new opportunities to see things from a different perspective. A retreat vacation is an opportunity to discover new sources of nourishment and the deeper values that exist below the surface of our day-to-day lives. It is a time to be still with the glow of the evening sunset, to learn something new about ourselves, or to cozy up on the couch with a good book.

text: You knew this was coming. For most Americans, this latest advertisement from McCain attacking Obama will be seen as deep irony, morphing Obama's political celebrity into a matter of audacious vanity and narcissism. But for many Evangelicals, there is probably a second meaning to this ad. Indeed, the signal is not just one of vanity, but one playing on the theme of Obama as anti-Christ. Not only is he not one of us, but his coming should invoke Biblical fear. See for yourself above.

The revised wages under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) for the current fiscal announced recently may not attract labourers, officials fear, as the wages have gone up only marginally. At Rs 201, the new rate is still lower compared to many other states and labourers would look for alternative jobs, officials believe.
The revised wages, which were put on the MGNREGA website a few days ago, will be effective from April 1. Following the notification issued by the central government fixing the wage rate, the state government announced the new rates while tabling its budget for 2017-18. The expenditure on MGNREGA wages in 2017-18 will cost the state government Rs 2,800 crore.
"The number of person days generated this year as against the projected labour budget has gone down compared to last year. This was due to a better drought situation in the state. Even though the wage has been increased by Rs 9, it is still lower than many other states. However, many workers prefer to take up alternative jobs that offer better pay than MGNREGA work," said an official.
Against the projected labour budget of Rs 8.50 crore, the state managed to generate 6.57 person days in 2016-17. While presenting the budget on Saturday, the state government announced it was expecting to create 7.25 person days.
MGNREGA wage rates vary from state to state and are revised by indexing them to the Consumer Price Index for Agricultural Labourers (CPIAL) for a particular state.
"In the first two years of the job scheme, the wage rates had been the same as the minimum agricultural wage rates of the states concerned. But since 2008, the Centre detached the scheme's wages from the states' minimum wages and linked them instead to the states' CPIAL," the official said.
When contacted, state MGNREGA commissioner Abhay Mahajan said, "This is a demand-based scheme and acts as a respite for people who are jobless and are out of work. People will look for greener pastures even if rates are hiked further. The revised wage rates are low, but the Centre works them out as per a uniform criteria. This can be challenged through the council of central employment guarantee scheme, but the final call is taken by the Union ministry."
In other states
In Haryana, the wage rate has been revised to Rs 277 this year from Rs 259, which is the maximum MGNREGA wage in any state. Remuneration under MGNREGA has been raised to Rs 240 in Goa from Rs 229 last year. It has been hiked to Rs 258 in Kerala from Rs 240, to Rs 236 in Karnataka from Rs 224, Rs 205 in Tamil Nadu from Rs 203.

The Working Family's Cookbook
Cherry Almond Fudge Brownies
Chocolate and cherries make a great combination in these brownies.
9 brownies
Prep Time:
20 minutes
Cook Time:
35 to 40 minutes
8 tablespoons butter or margarine, unsalted, cut into pieces
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus 1 tablespoon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup pitted sweet cherries, fresh or frozen and defrosted
1/2 cup chopped blanched almonds
Position a rack in the center of the oven. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter and flour a 9-inch square cake pan.
Heat the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute and then whisk until smooth. Cool for about 10 minutes until tepid.
Sift the cup of flour, the baking soda and salt together through a wire strainer into a large bowl.
Whisk the sugar into the chocolate mixture. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time. Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the flour, mixing just until blended.
Toss the cherries with the remaining tablespoon of flour and add to the batter along with the almonds. Fold gently until just combined. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a moist crumb. Allow the brownies to cool on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

The UC Davis College Republicans say they were "denied permission" to use university electricity ports for their free speech countermarch in response to last nights cancellation of an event staring MILO and Martin Shkreli.
"We were denied electricity that we paid for in our tuition and our taxes to plug in equipment that we need to run our countermarch event," said Andrew Mendoza, the executive director for Davis College Republicans.
"The university also denied us access to drive our guest [MILO] onto campus, citing safety reasons, even though they allowed last nights violence to take place" he continued.
The countermarch was organised by the College Republican group in response to last nights events, in which people were assaulted and protestors attempted to storm the venue.
In a statement last night, the group said that they "will not stand for the regressive left perpetuating violence, censoring speech, and spreading hate," asking people to join them in a countermarch for freedom of speech.
You can watch the countermarch live on Breitbart.com.

Last September, while vacationing on North Carolina's Outer Banks, my darling wife and I rode our bikes from the rental property where we were staying over to the Whalehead Club island. We then walked the self-guided tour trail along the marshland adjacent to the Club. One of the informational panels along the trail mentioned that during the early twentieth century, when flocks of waterfowl took flight off the water, their numbers would completely blacken the sky. Of course today, one is fortunate to glimpse any sign of waterfowl in the Currituck Sound area. On our bike ride over, we also had a chance encounter with an employee of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. That morning she had just completed a helicopter ride over the refuge area to conduct a headcount of the wild horses. One quote of hers struck me. Something to the fact that she was surprised that the OBX barrier reef has not yet sunk into the sea due to the level of land overdevelopment.
Now for some very abbreviated history and background of Corolla, NC. Native Americans from the mainland used the northern area of the barrier island as their hunting and fishing grounds. They gave it the moniker Currituck, meaning "land of the wild goose". Europeans settled into the area during the 17th century. On the first of December, 1875, the beacon from the red-bricked tower known as the Currituck Beach Lighthouse made its debut and filled the night skies of Corolla. By 1890, some 200 self-reliant people lived in the Corolla village. It was in the roaring 1920's that wealthy industrialist Edward Knight and his wife Marie-Louise had an expansive home (known later in 1940 and now as the Whalehead Club) built on the man-made island on the sound side near Corolla Village. During that first year of construction of the 5-chimney, sunshine-yellow home, the couple invited wealthy friends from the Northeast for sumptuous evening dinner parties followed by a morning of waterfowl hunting. Visions of The Great Gatsby abound. As an indication of the horn of plenty, by the end of that first season, the Knights and their guests had bagged 751 waterfowl. This level of waterfowl hunting continued at the estate for at least the next nine years until Mr. Knight's health decline in 1934 and eventual demise in 1936. In the 1940s, the village population had swelled to almost one thousand year-round residents. After the war, the population dwindled to only three families during the 1950's (when electric power first became available to the village commoners - the Knights had their private generator) and peaked to fifteen people as late as the 1970's! Since then, the village and the club have been faithfully and wonderfully restored, vacation homes built, and infrastructure developed. So where does that bring us today and was it worth the trip?
Well first off, let me personally attest that the restored village, Knight home, and Currituck Beach lighthouse are very serene, quaint, authentic, and photogenic. The Corolla beaches are pristine, well maintained, and void of crowds in the early fall. Our canine companions are welcomed at many rental properties and on the beach. There very well might not be any beach area in the world quite like Corolla with its historic village, lighthouse, Art Nouveau style mansion, estuarine nature preserve, and nearby wild horse refuge. Not much to complain about here. So I won't. Yes, from the air, I am sure that the northern OBX looks way overdeveloped. But relative to other eastern USA beach resorts, it feels on the ground to be just right. Although, the loss of the blackened sky is most regrettable. But I am certain that more than just a gaggle of privileged guest hunters at the Knight estate decimated the waterfowl along the Atlantic Flyway. Hopefully (there's that word again), lesson learned.

Specification for construction
Specifications describe the materials and workmanship required for a development. They do not include cost, quantity or drawn information, and so need to be read alongside other information such as quantities, schedules and drawings.
Specifications vary considerably depending on the stage to which the design has been developed, ranging from performance specifications (open specifications) that require further design work to be carried out, to prescriptive specifications (closed specifications) where the design is already complete.
Having a prescriptive specification when a contract is tendered gives the client more certainty about the end product, whereas a performance specification gives suppliers more scope to innovate and adopt cost effective methods of work, potentially offering better value for money.
Typically, performance specifications are written on projects that are straight-forward and are well-known building types, whereas prescriptive specifications are written for more complex buildings, or buildings where the client has requirements that might not be familiar to suppliers and where certainty regarding the exact nature of the completed development is more important to the client.
An exception to this might be a repeat client such as a large retailer, where a specific, branded end result is required and so whilst the building type is well known, the specification is likely to be prescriptive.
Most projects will involve a combination of performance and prescriptive specifications. Items crucial to the design will be specified prescriptively (such as external cladding) whilst less critical items are specified only by performance (such as service lifts).
Key to deciding whether to specify a building component prescriptively or not, is considering who is most likely to achieve best value, the client, the designers or the contractor:
- Large clients may be able to procure certain products at competitive rates themselves (for example the government).
- Some designers may have particular experience of using a specific product (although some clients may not allow designers to specify particular products as they believe it restricts competition and innovation and may relieve the contractor of their liability for 'fitness for purpose').
- The contractor may be best placed to specify products that affect buildability.
Specifications should be developed alongside the design, increasing in level of detail as the design progresses.They should not be left until the preparation of production information. By tender they should describe every aspect of the building in such a way that there is no uncertainty about what the contractor is pricing.
Aspects of the works are generally specified by:
- Products (by standard, a description of attributes, naming (perhaps allowing equivalent alternatives) or by nominating suppliers).
- Workmanship (by compliance with manufacturers requirements, reference to a code of practice or standards, or by approval of samples or by testing).
It should be possible to verify standards of products and workmanship by testing, inspection, mock-ups and samples, and documentation such as manufacturer's certificates.
Specifications should be structured according to work packages mirroring the separation of the works into sub-contracts. This makes it easier for the contractor to price and so may result in a more accurate tender.
A standard classification system should be followed such as Uniclass.

As the denizens of the world fight for the fate of The Dawngate, so shall the strongeamong you fight for the honor to be the champions of the noble North, the inspiring South, the fearless East or the progressive West.
Waystone Games, in cooperation with our friends at ESL, is pleased to announce our first ever competitive gameplay initiative: The Race to the Gate Beta Tournament Series!
Between now and March of 2014 teams will compete in a series of four qualifier
tournaments, each an epic battle in their own rights. Participants will not only fight for the honor of representing a region within the world of Dawngate, but also for the spoils of war: a $3,000 purse paid out to the top three teams in each of the four qualifier tournaments.
Those interested in competing should prepare themselves and their teams now. Signups will start this Friday, October 3rd, 2014. Be sure to watch us on Twitter (@TheDawngate) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/thedawngate) for updates on when and where teams can register.
In the meantime, you can create your ESL account by visiting https://play.eslgaming.com/register_player/. All team members will need to be registered at ESL to participate in the tournament series.
As the regional champions are chosen over the course of the four tournaments, their eyes will be set on the ultimate prize: A four team invitational tournament with a $15,000 prize pool to be shared amongst the top three teams. While bragging rights and glory are certainly rewards of their own, the winning team will also shape the story of The Dawngate Chronicles, as their region's victory will be reflected in the living story of Dawngate.
Our first tournament will take place in the North, home to such shapers as the fiercely loyal Raina Tallund, her precognitive brother Zalgus, and the devastated survivor Freia. Eight teams will enter the fray, yet only one shall emerge as the victor. This event will take place between Friday, October 17th and Saturday October 18th, 2014. More details will come in a news post to follow.
Good luck and may the best team win!

Ronan, The Peacemaker
You kept telling us: "Guys. Dawngate ... needs more otters." We said: "You're right."
This patch brings Ronan, The Peacemaker into the Dawngate. Guys, you made this Shaper happen. Your choice in Fenmore's Living Lore vote, "A Knife in the Dark," sent WaystoneDandelion off in search of the proper cast to bring that vision to life. Along the way he found Ronan, a gunslinger with a singular sense of justice. We were then able to integrate him into The Dawngate Chronicles seamlessly, timing the introduction across both the game and the story.
Lead Shaper Designer Dan Gibson reflects on how the team brought him to life:
Ronan is a wonderful mix of simple abilities with staggering skillcaps and beautiful character design. I've been really excited about Ronan since we originally kicked off concept - even the very first sketches we got back were causing a big swell of excitement from the team around the character. I worked straight off the concept for this one: incorporating a character's bits and bobs is generally a fun and effective way to design kits and Ronan really exemplified it. Mixing a fun concept with a focused kit, particularly one that lends itself to high-level mechanical play, made Ronan's core kit solidify almost immediately and simply get refined throughout his development. As with any high skill cap character, I'm most excited for seeing how well the community can play him - get out there and put some holes in fools!
Ronan is a big milestone for Waystone as he ties together literally every aspect of Dawngate's development. This isn't easy, and no other game is doing it like this ... thanks for helping us to beta this feature to get here!
Community Beta is winding down ...
In April, we announced the end of our Closed Beta and the start of our Community Beta. We created that name to send the message that Dawngate was ready for more people, even if it wasn't ready for primetime yet. That's how we designed Waystone: to build the game directly with its players.
Together, we've accomplished a ton since starting Community Beta:
- We brought the game to PAX East and Gamescom, making a ton of new friends and powering up the community
- We launched the Dawngate Chronicles, an interactive web comic driven by the players
- We've played with the Chronicle's interactive narrative to drive new content back into the game
- We built a basic tutorial and bots to help MOBA players who are new to Dawngate learn the ropes
- We brought EU Alpha servers online to better serve our beta friends across the Atlantic
- We held a competitive balance initiative and an influencer summit to feedback directly into development
- We introduced Shoutcasting Mode to support the player-driven tournaments that are popping up
We're going to start to transition toward the next logical phase of Dawngate's beta. Driven by the enthusiasm we've seen from you guys around casting mode and community run tournaments, we're prioritizing features and activities focused on competitive gameplay as we move into the fall.
To help with this, we've partnered with our friends at ESL to help host our first Beta Tournament series. We're calling it "The Race to the Gate" and we'll be releasing the details very soon. This beta series will include some nice cash prizes, and as always, we're doing it Waystone-style so you know it's gonna tie into the lore. We expect to learn a lot with these events, and we need you to help us make them awesome. It's time to beta test tournaments!
Yes, this also means we're actively working on the mythical "progression" patch to gameplay. These improvements to gameplay are focused on making Dawngate more fun and strategic at a competitive level, and many of them come directly from Dawngate players who play MOBAs at a high level. We're confident that these changes are focused on making Dawngate feel more unique and more importantly, more fun. We'll start dropping some of them in on the regular patch cadence, but you can also expect a large drop later this year. The first of these is a large change to Parasite: killing it only spawns Striders at its third evolution. We expect you'll see some shake-ups in the early- and mid-game as a result, with teamfights breaking out during laning more often. Sound off and let us know.
It also means that we're focusing development on Ranked gameplay for Dawngate. We hear you, we get it, we're working on it, and as always you can expect a couple of unique Dawngate twists to how the feature works. The first of those was revealed recently by Gasty when he asked for input on how picks and bans will work. Sound off if you haven't already.
Sales have come to Dawngate! You guys have been asking for this for months ... here ya go. Check out CourtJester's post with the details.
Thanks for reading. Come join us in the official Forums and sound off on Reddit. Let us know your thoughts on everything.
As always and on behalf of everyone at Waystone, thanks for playing our game.
See you in the Dawngate,
Dave 'paradoxiq' Cerra
Lead Producer, Waystone Games
Waystone Games released their video on Ronan today. It includes The Nine skin that was hinted at yesterday AND a Fenmore skin that you can spot in the gameplay!

NOW Diet Support Review
NOW Diet Support is a popular and affordable product from the NOW Foods line. It promises powerful thermogenic fat burning and improved body composition with clinically proven ingredients such as the patented forslean. According to NOW Diet Support, it is made to improve health and weight loss with an all-natural formula and a healthier, vegetarian capsule.
Does NOW Diet Support Help You to Lose Weight?
NOW Diet Support uses ingredients that have been clinically proven to support healthy weight loss. It uses ingredients that have been through extensive clinical studies, showing that they can help you to lose more weight with diet and exercise.
NOW Diet Support uses ingredients such as the patented super citrimax, which has been clinically proven and patented as a stimulant free fat burner. In addition, NOW Diet Support contains the popular green tea, healthy chromium for craving control, and the popular and natural diuretic uva ursi.
However, NOW Diet Support does not necessarily match the clinical studies. Yes, NOW Diet Support has clinically proven ingredients, but every clinical study so far has used significantly higher amounts of those ingredients than NOW Diet Support does. In other words, based on the scientific evidence we've seen so far, this formula is not up to par.
Is There Any Way That NOW Diet Support Can Promote Weight Loss?
NOW Diet Support uses ingredients that have been through clinical studies, and it's possible that researchers simply haven't properly tested smaller doses of these ingredients. It is possible that NOW Diet Support might be an effective way to lose weight. We just can't say that for sure right now.
Is NOW Diet Support Worth Taking a Chance On?
As a company, NOW Foods has produced quite a few popular and effective supplements for weight loss and health in general. In addition, NOW Foods products like NOW Diet Support are known for being economical and affordable. Just take NOW Diet Support, which typically sells for about $13 a bottle.
NOW Diet Support uses high quality ingredients, and it is one of the few products that does not hide behind proprietary blends, instead listing the individual amounts of every ingredient in NOW Diet Support. NOW Diet Support may not have enough green tea or super citrimax to match the current clinical studies.
However, based on some other powerful products that NOW foods has produced in the past as well as the affordable price, NOW Diet Support seems to be a product that remains a popular product to try.

Power To Change Your Life
Are you really ready to experience abundance? Have you spent years seeking wholeness, balance, happiness and prosperity?
Have you read hundreds of books, listened to hundreds of tapes and cds?
Do YOU think you are really READY NOW to change your life? Are you ready to be happy?
Are you ready to feel strong, healthy and blissful?
Ok, let's start with some basics that you have read and heard many times before.
You are energy. Your thoughts are energy. Your feelings are energy.
However old you are right now is how long you have practiced the habits of thought, belief, expectations and creating that got you where you are now.
No denying this. You might not like it, it probably isn't comfortable.
BUT it's TRUE!
There is no one responsible for where you are in your life, who you are and how you, but YOU!
I am not going to sugar coat for you. You have spent years blaming your parents, friends, work, government, spouse, "them" for your life condition.
It's got to stop.
Are you shocked by that statement? It's got to stop>>>> NOW!
I'm sure you've heard of alcoholics and shop-aholics, there are groups for those conditions.
Your condition is negative-aholic.
There, it's out there plain and simple.
You have spent years thinking thoughts that made you feel miserable.
You have thought and felt your way into depression, anger, hurt, sadness and maybe even paranoia.
(Paranoia is caused by spending years blaming others and thinking "They" are out to get you).
You began programing yourself as a baby in your specific vision and expectation of how life "always is". As a baby you began to make certain associations about your needs being met.
Perhaps you weren't fed or changed quickly and only after a lot of crying were your needs seen about. You continued to see that this worked as you got older.
Ok, at this point you began really digging in your beliefs about people and the world.
If your life was filled with messages that you were not important, that your needs didn't matter and that life was hard, you accepted these as fact.
You have spent years proving these facts over and over again to yourself. With each similar experience your beliefs became more deeply rooted.
Now you continue to think, feel and act the same way over and over again and wonder why your life feels like it's stuck on a carnival ride.
Do you want proof of what I am saying? Ok, looking back over your life do you see how you keep experiencing the same kind of relationships over and over again.
Do you struggle each month over finances, paying things just in the nick of time.
Do you feel sick, weak, drained? Does your body ache and hurt?
How long has all this been going on?
The answer if probably most of your life!
How did I get this way?
Get your boxing gloves on and get ready for your panties to be in a wad over what I am about to tell you.
You got this way one thought, one belief, one feeling at a time.
Granted it took you many years to create your world.
Create it though, you did.
Our whole lives we are surrounded by people who create their worlds in this same way.
You probably had parents or grandparents who passed on the tradition of creating a crappy life on to you. They told you things like; money doesn't grow on trees, life's hard, no pain no gain, day dreaming will get you in the poor house, work hard, struggle, then death.
You can probably add many more examples of your own. The point is you were taught from childhood to think yourself sick, poor, unhappy, and disapointed with your lot in life.
Being an obedient child, you bought into the whole thing, kit and kaboodle.
You have spent years feeling bad and now you are sick and tired of being sick and tired.
If you've made it this far, then you just might be ready to change your life.
I promise that if you change your thinking it will change your feelings.
Change your feelings and change your life.
It's simple. I didn't say it was easy, I said it was simple.
It's so simple that most people go through their whole lives never figuring it out.
You are one step ahead of the pack now. You are beginning to see the break of dawn in the darkness.
This is a big step for you. Many people realize they are miserable and find it too hard to change so they just keep being miserable and keep blaming others for their lives.
You might not be one of those people. You are still with me and I know this isn't the easiest thing you've ever read, thought about or had told to you.
But it's the TRUTH.
Somewhere deep inside you, you know it's true. You can feel that stirring of butterflies in the pit of your stomach. You feel nervous and excited at the same time.
Wonderful. That's how I want you to feel.
The process of changing your thought habits is a means of transforming yourself into who you really are. Before you came into that body you knew that life was magical and you could attract any and all experiences to yourself.
Due to a sprinkling of uncomfortable experiences early on you began to expect life to be uncomfortable and hard, thus it has been and will continue to be until YOU change.
To understand the power of habit have a little fun with me. Move your coffee pot to another area of the kitchen and see how many times you go automatically to the spot where you've had it for years.
Next time you get dressed change the leg you put into your pants first. Do this with your socks and shoes as well.
Move your furniture around and have fun as you have to think about where it is before you sit down.
Habits are the result of doing the same thing the same way over and over again until you don't think about the choices anymore. You just do like you set your controls on auto-pilot.
When you begin changing your thoughts you find a new awareness in what's going on inside your head and your emotions.
Now that I have your attention
You may not remember learning to walk or talk, but it was a challenge to you. You fell down and hurt your bottom many times before you found your center, your point of balance.
You stumbled and fumbled over words until little by little they came easier as you developed deeper understanding of how to say vowels, consonants and contractions.
It wasn't easy, but you kept at it until you mastered these skills.
Walking, talking and the Law of Attraction
What has one got to do with the other you might be asking. Well, I'll tell you.
Just as you practiced over and over to walk and talk, you practiced over and over to get to your present beliefs and expectations.
The difference is while learning to walk and talk was hard, you didn't give up, cop out or just sit mute silently blaming others for your not being able to walk and communicate.
Wow.. you mean I did that with my life?
Yep.. you sure did. Now you have to own up to it and STOP!
Thoughts are just like any other habit. It took months and even years of practice to make them a core part of your life. It only makes sense that recreating your core/base life beliefs and expectations will take a little bit of time and practice.
How do I stop it?
Good question. Your first step has already been taken. You were ready to change so much that you started reading this book. This shows that you have cracked open the darkness a bit so that a sliver of light now shines through to show you the way.
Now that you are aware of how you got where you are we can begin to format your hard drive. I love computers and most of the time enjoy working on mine.
Now and again though, things get distorted and out of whack. I can waste my time installing new programs over the old ones praying it will work.
I've done that too. It didn't help for long. Adding more to an already nonworking system just clutters it up more.
It's the same with you. While you spent all those years reading and listening to how to change your life, you didn't change anything. What you did was to keep piling more stuff on top of all the old stuff in your head. You didn't clean out the old stuff first.
While there are many tools and methods to help you through this process, the most important tool is you.
You have to be willing to change, not just to change your life, but change you.
This is terrifying to a lot of people and I understand that. It was terrifying for me too. It too me a long time to get down to the nitty gritty of myself and do an overhaul of my beliefs and expectations.
We all get into a habit of thinking, believing and expecting based on past life experiences. The more you expect life to be a certain way, the more certain it will be that way.
It's a cycle. To stop the cycle in it's track you must be aware of your thoughts.
Sounds easy doesn't it? Well, it's really not. It's challenging to really start to listen to all that fussing and fighting going on in your head.
You've done it for so long that you might not even be aware of all that junk slugging it out while you aren't looking.
It's time to be aware.
Awareness is a state of mind, a willingness to be conscious.
Take a few moments right now to stop reading and sit still. Don't try to think or stop thinking. Just be still and quite.
Give yourself at least 3 minutes to be quite.
Don't cheat yourself. Take 3 minutes to sit still and quite.
Ok, now take a paper and pencil and off the top of your head write down random thoughts for 3 minutes.
Go Ahead write down your thoughts. What stuff is floating around begging for attention?
2 minutes more
1 more minute
What were your thoughts? Did you think about bills, work, cleaning house, children, spouse, people you are upset with?
The point of this exercise is to allow you to see that you are always thinking.
Unless you are really good at meditation, you are churning out thoughts so fast you aren't even aware of most of them.
Most of these thoughts follow the path of least resistance.
What is the path of least resistance?
Just as you create a habit of bedtime, schedules for doing things, the way you get dressed in the morning, smoking, drinking, eating.. you have a habit of thoughts.
Be honest now, what do you think about most of the time? Do you have reruns of conversations, incidents going on and on in your head?
Most of our thoughts are repeats. Like TV shows, we just keep running that reel over and over again. We keep ourselves in a state of upset about things that happened months and even years ago.
What do you talk about the most?
Think about the last weeks of conversations. Were they about things that upset you? Did you rehash past events?
This is the path of least resistance.
Out of habit you keep your thinking on the same track as before.
Because your thinking is the same ole, same ole, your feelings are too.
Power of thoughts and feelings
Do a little experiment. Think of something for just a moment or two that made you feel angry, hurt or afraid.
Keep thinking.
Now how do you feel?
Think of something that made you smile or laugh. Think about a wonderful day when you felt on top of the world.
How do you feel?
This illustrates the power of thoughts. Your thoughts are directly linked to your emotions. You can go back in time and experience events just like they are happening now, just by thinking about them.
This also works with your future.. and that's were the magic happens.
As long as you are stuck in the past with all those negative thoughts and feelings, you keep attracting the same type of events into your life.
Change your thinking and change your life.
Let me give you an example of the power of thoughts, feelings and energy.
Growing up my Granny was always talking about how bad she felt.
As we both got older I became more and more aware of what she said and how it felt.
When I was in my twenties I had a light bulb go off in my head when I realized that going to visit Granny wasn't fun. I would be so happy and feeling wonderful when I first arrived. Within 30 minutes or so it was like a dark cloud hanging over my head.
One fine spring day I asked Granny if anything good ever happened to her?
She was shocked and asked me what I meant by that.
I told her that all she talked about was how bad and sad and horrible her life seemed to be. I didn't understand how this was true as she was healthy, wealthy and had a wonderful home and beautiful gardens.
I told her that she complained about life all the time and that's why people stopped visiting her.
After her initial shock she smiled and told me about her garden. We ended up spending a fun afternoon together.
I'm sure you've been around someone who is a dark cloud. Perhaps you have been that dark cloud yourself.
The fact is that our thoughts and feelings are tangible. They are real. Not only do they affect us, they affect other people and the world.
We notice the dark clouds that other people have around them. Now it's time to notice your own dark cloud.
If you can feel the energy of others, then it's easy to accept the fact that your thoughts have power.
They create feelings, your feelings are your passionate prayer for more of the same.
In order to change your life, you must change your thinking habits.
This is simple, not easy.
Be responsible for your thought creations.
Now that you are aware of the power and energy of your thoughts you can change.
It's simple and does get easier the more you practice.
The more you practice a different way of thinking the faster you will develop the habit of thinking thoughts that feel good.
Remember the experiement you did a while back choosing a thought that made you feel not so good and one that made you feel good?
This is how you change your life.
Each day start your morning before getting out of bed by taking a few moments to choose thoughts that feel good.
You can start with something simple. Be thankful for waking up in your wonderful body. The body is so taken for granted and yet so necessary for life as we know it.
The other day I became aware of the importance of my thumb. Not that's a little thing, but so very necessary.
As I was getting a piece of cheesecake I looked at how my hand was carrying the saucer. My fingers were on the bottom and my thumb on top holding it securely. I stopped for just a moment and thought about how I would carry this saucer of cheesecake without my thumb. Wow.. How would I do a lot of things without it?
I thanked my thumb for being part of my hand and making my life easier.
Gratitude is a great place to start in changing your thinking.
The more grateful you are the more you feel good.
As you list all the things you are thankful for more things come to mind.
The more gratitude you feel the better you feel and the more things to feel good about are attracted to you.
Now this is a cycle you can live happily with.
Haven gotten this far you are experiencing more and more awareness of your thoughts and their energy. You might start feeling frustrated that things aren't changing as fast as you would like them to.
That's ok. Go ahead feel that, be honest about how you feel.
You didn't build your life in a day.
It's probably going to take more than a week or two to create a new one.
This is a good thing. It allows you time to think about what you really do want.
You will begin to notice that you feel better more of the time.
Wow, that's great. You also find yourself shifting thought gears to ones that feel good. This is great too.
You are discovering your power to create your emotions.
Don't give up. Remember walking and talking? You have to practice.
Practice practice practice. This is the process of change.
You already have an added perk, you feel better. Feeling good more of the time lets you know that you are on the right track.
When you notice that you are feeling anything other than good you become aware of it and can pick a better feeling thought.
Take some time to day dream. Really get into it. Put yourself in scenes that you want to experience. Feel it.
There is a magic in positive day dreaming. Choosing thoughts about what you want to experience opens the floodgates to these things.
By now you are spending more and more time feeling good.
Thinking good feeling thoughts is becoming a habit.
You Are The Magic
I hope by this point you are aware that you are healing. You are feeling more balanced and centered. You experience calmness, joy, determination. Laughter fills more of your day, you smile more.
That was simple wasn't it? You made a lot of head way in healing yourself and your life.
You replaced thoughts that were holding you back, making you feel bad, with new good feeling thoughts.
These new thoughts opened your life up to good things.
Just keep doing this day in and day out and get ready to dance the dance of joy as your life fills up with good things.
As you have moved along you have loved yourself more. In the beginning you didn't have this sense of well being and joy. You find it now over and over again.
You know how to shift thought gears. You know how to feel good.
All that's left for you to do, is just to do it every day until it becomes who you are.
You can change, you've already proven that to yourself by reading this book and doing these little exercises.
You have already changed. You are not the same person your were when you read the first few lines. You have begun to see yourself and your world differently than you did a few days ago.
Keep it rolling
How do I keep it going? What if I have a relapse? You probably will have a few of these. You will still have days that aren't as easy as you would like.
You will be tempted to go back to the old way of thinking and feeling. This is normal. It's like being and alcoholic. It takes a while for the craving to leave you.
Here are some tips for staying focused.
Take it one day at a time, one thought, one emotion at a time.
Read this book over and over. Read it every day for a few months.
If you have a dark cloud person in your life, limit your time with this person for a while.
We are affected by the energy of others.
While changing your life, love yourself enough to look out for your well being.
As your energy level changes the people in your life are likely to change.
Be easy with yourself during this process.
Keep a journal of your positive feelings and thoughts. Only write down in present tense the good things you desire. Try stating it like this, I am so happy and grateful for ______________________________.
Go over your list of gratitudes several times a day. This keeps you focused on the good things in life.
Make yourself a vision poster. Cut out pictures of things you do want in your life. Put it where you see it often.
Write little positive sticky notes to yourself and place them in your bathroom, kitchen and at your computer.
Now you are ready for spiritual coaching with me. You've been thinking about it. Now it's time to ACT.
Things will not change until you make changes. You must change for things outside you to be different.
I have several options for coaching. You can try it for a donation of your choice. This is a one time deal. You donate what you feel like and we set a time to work together for one hour.

Boosh is not The Mighty Boosh
I seem to get a lot of hits from the UK. I think possibly people are looking for the home page of the comedy team "The Mighty Boosh". While I retain the rights to the name (Boosh), I've been called for the last 28 years, I have no problem sharing it. Just remember they are 'The Boosh', and I am just 'Boosh'. Anyway, this seems to be their official website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/mightyboosh (Update) Season 1 is finally coming out in the US! Only $24 on pre-order at Amazon. (edit) Season 2 and Season 3 now available as well: Or pre-order the 3 season special edition boxed set for about $55. I've seen a bit of their stuff, and it doesn't seem to be my type of humo(u)r. Give me The (British) Office anyday. (Although the American 'The Office' isn't so bad). Anyway. Cheers, -boosh

Truck Life Tour. Episode 2. Nolichucky River Clean up.
Shortly after arriving in Rock Island Brooke was offered the opportunity for us to go help Dane Jackson do a river clean up on the Nolichucky river. Jackson Kayak had a few demo boats that needed driving out there so we said sure, sounds like fun. Friday night we collected the trailer of boats from the factory in EJ's old Toyota Land Cruiser. He was adamant it would easily be able to tow the trailer over the three hour drive, despite the Land Cruiser easily being my age or older. First stop a hotel stay over in Knoxville, an hour away to meet up with Dane then next morning head to the river.
Well that was the plan at least. The engine started having problems around twenty minutes from Knoxville. We pulled over and hopped out, smoke filled the cab. I opened the bonnet (hood) and smoke billowed out, oil was everywhere. Brooke was already calling Kristine to get help. Half an hour later we were being towed into Knoxville. Dane met us at a McDonalds where we hung out and waited for Kristine to show up with another truck that could tow the trailer. Luckily it started to rain after we had gotten inside.
Next morning we rallied up to the Nolichucky river where we found the river pretty much at flood stage. I was pretty surprised as I didn't realise it had rained that hard. As well as very high water, it was not at all warm. The aim of the event (which had been organised by Red Bull) was to get lots of people from the local area out and about and get the river clean. Unfortunately due to the weather and the water levels there were less people than hoped for but we still spent two days collecting ALOT of rubbish out of the river. The first day probably had 10-15 kayakers as well as a bunch of raft guides from local company USA Raft who paddled the 'trash boats' down the river. Day two was a little less, maybe 7-11 kayakers, it was much colder. The rubbish boats got FILLED up. I think we took over 50 tyres alone, probably tons of rubbish with much more we weren't able to get.
The coolest part of the weekend was paddling the upper gorge at high flows which was around 15km of fun, bouncy, big volume whitewater. AND I got to paddle both sizes of the new Jackson Kayak Antix. It is a boat that lived up to the hype. The medium was a fun long playboat and the Large (which was my favourite) was a playful creek boat, enough volume to run almost everything confidently but small enough in the tail to be playful.
