We all LOVED Chocolate World....the factory tour ride is FREE and you get FREE chocolate at the end...what's not to love?? Here are the kids pretending they are factory workers:
Of course, while we were there...I had to stop at the Hershey outlets!!
We stayed at the Hershey Lodge...which is wonderful. They have character visits in the lobby and my kids were thrilled to see the peanut butter cup. The Lodge is a bit pricey...but we only stayed 2 nights and it is our only vacation this year...so that is how I justified it. :)
Our first night there we ordered room service! What fun! We got mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, cheesecake and a big chocolate chip cookie. The tray arrived with cloth napkins and a little vase with a flower...Bubby took one look at it and said "That is gorgeous."...very true.
O.k...there is a story for this ride. My wonderful hubby knows I don't like heights. We were standing next to this ride while the kids rode a kiddie ride and hubby bet me some money that I wouldn't ride it. Normally I would have turned him down....but I knew that there was a Coach outlet right next door and then money would let me get a purse...guilt free. So...I got on the ride, put my head back and closed my eyes. I mentally went to my "happy place"...the Coach outlet. Hubby, kids and my mom were shocked I did it...but one should never doubt what a girl might do when near a Coach outlet!
Both kids LOVED the Frog Hopper. Bubby laughed the whole time, which made MissyMiss laugh the whole time...they rode it 3 times. I got on it once with them...I did not laugh. I was happy to have an empty stomach.
Every time we go I take a pic of the kids by the height chart used to classify what rides they can and cannot ride. This year Bubby was a Hershey Kiss and MissyMiss was a peanut butter cup. It is fun to look at previous years height pics. MissyMiss went for the first time when she was 2 and only a wee-little Hershey miniature.

An OI member is someone who's been ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh, or other monastic Brother or Sister in our community, into the Order of Interbeing. To borrow directly from the orderofinterbeing.org website:
The Order of Interbeing, Tiep Hien in Vietnamese, is a community of monastics and lay people who have committed to living their lives in accord with the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings, a distillation of the Bodhisattva (Enlightened Being) teachings of Mahayana Buddhism. Established by Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh in Saigon in 1966, the Order of Interbeing was founded in the Linji tradition of Buddhist meditative practice and emphasizes the Four Spirits: non-attachment from views, direct experimentation on the nature of interdependent origination through meditation, appropriateness, and skilful means.
The first six members of the order, ordained together on February 5, 1966, were colleague and students of Thich Nhat Hanh who worked with him relieving the suffering of war through projects organized by the School of Youth for Social Service. In joining the Order of Interbeing, they dedicated themselves to the continuous practice of mindfulness, ethical behavior, and compassionate action in society.
Yesterday, I put together my first OI mentorship meeting with three of our sangha members (plus my husband) who are considering whether or not they either want to become an official aspirant (which we often refer to as pre-aspirants) or want to proceed to fully ordaining and becoming an OI member. An official OI aspirant is someone who has formally received the Five Mindfulness Trainings in our tradition, and has practiced with them for at least one year thereafter, and acquired the necessary components for OI aspirancy to begin, namely: specific paperwork, writing a letter to Thay, getting approval from a Dharma teacher, and finding a mentor (usually another OI member).

Vinyl Siding Cost
Installing vinyl siding runs most homeowners between $6,174 and $15,754, with a national average cost of $10,609. Vinyl siding costs an average of $4 per square foot to install, making it the least expensive siding material, second only in installation costs to metal siding.
On This Page:
Vinyl siding was introduced in the late 1950s in Columbus, Ohio. At the time, most siding was aluminum, but vinyl proved to be cheaper and was much lower maintenance than aluminum. Though it quickly developed a bad reputation for fading and turning brittle with age, modern manufacturing techniques have made it far more durable and better insulating than many other materials on the market.
Of the four main siding options, metal, wood, fiber cement, and vinyl, vinyl is the least expensive material and the second cheapest when it comes to installation. Only metal is cheaper to install because it snips and rivets into place easily. Vinyl siding requires only a few more specialty tools and typically costs about $4.00 per square foot installed.
Cost Factors
There are many choices when it comes to vinyl and even one option that seems insignificant can have an enormous effect on the cost. Why are vinyl siding prices so varied? This is because the options are usually incorporated into the manufacturing of the material.
- Thickness – Vinyl usually comes in thickness of .040". Thicker siding, such as .052", is more durable and has better fade resistance, but will cost more.
- Styles – Plain, smooth vinyl with no textures or other features will always be cheaper than textured material that imitates wood, stone, or other materials.
- Layout and Size – Clearly a larger house will use more material, more labor, and will cost more. Also keep in mind that odd-shaped openings, such as custom windows and doors, require the siding to be cut to non-standard shapes. In general, the common house sizes can incur the following costs, assuming no unusual details:
- 1,500 sq ft - $6,000.00 to $8,000.00
- 2,000 sq ft - $8,000.00 to $11,000.00
- 2,500 sq ft - $10,000.00 to $13,000.00
- Details – Moldings, trim, soffits, corners, vents, and other details may or may not be included in your quote. Some contractors charge another $3.00 to $6.00 per linear foot for these details. Be sure your contractor clearly outlines these details or includes them in his total quote.
- Labor – The labor you use can be a general contractor, a vinyl siding specialist, or DIY. If you aren't skilled with hanging siding, DIY can potentially be the most expensive option. If you have any doubts, call a professional. It will be cheaper in the long run.
- Old Siding – If you have existing siding it will need to be removed. This can cost from $1,000.00 to $3,000.00, but it will save you the trouble of having to find a place to dispose of it.
Need an exact quote? Contact a siding professional today.
The Visual Aspect
Visually, vinyl has a great advantage over other siding choices; it can look like just about anything. With a large variety of colors and styles, it will be hard not to find what you want.
There is a wide variety of colors available for vinyl siding. As it is blended into the vinyl itself, every color is as rich as possible and won't show scratches easily. When shopping for siding, don't be surprised if you are shown a selection of 40 or 50 options, though some companies offer 700 standard colors! If that palette isn't giving you what you want, ask about custom colors. They may cost extra depending on how "custom" the color is, but if you want your house to look perfect, the extra cost is worth it.
Vinyl can be made to look like different materials. Because it's molded at the manufacturer's site, it can be had in the following styles:
- Beaded Seam – This style resembles the wood siding of the 1800s. A classic look, it can fit any home, older or modern.
- Smooth – This is a simple style with no texture. The clean look is very popular.
- Board and Batten – Also called "barn style", alternating wide and narrow strips can be horizontal or vertical. It has a rough texture like cedar wood.
- Shingle – Sometimes called "shake", the rough, staggered edge gives a warm, rustic look.
Other styles may be available from your manufacturer. Be sure to ask for a catalog.
Compared to other materials, vinyl offers the widest variety in terms of color and styles. Metal can be painted while vinyl generally doesn't handle paint well, but the difficulty of reshaping metal makes vinyl a more versatile choice. Wood has a more natural look since it's a natural material, but it must be stained or painted every couple of years to preserve its beauty. Stucco can suffer from weathering and also needs periodic maintenance.
Siding Maintenance
Vinyl siding is low maintenance, but it does need it. Cleaning is usually the only form of maintenance you need. A simple garden hose will do the job to keep normal dust and dirt from accumulating.
If mold and other heavier build-up is apparent, a soft-bristled scrub brush and gentle cleaning solution will do the job handily. If you choose to use a pressure washer instead on the vinyl siding, use a low-power setting to avoid spraying water and grime up between the siding and the wall.
When cleaning, start at the bottom and work your way up to avoid wet dirt from running down and drying on the siding. Small, stubborn spots can be cleaned with any ordinary cleaner and a soft scrub brush. When rinsing, start at the top. Work in small areas and be sure to rinse immediately to avoid stains from your cleaning solution.
Regular cleaning is the best way to protect your vinyl siding and avoid repairs, which can range from $250-$900 on average.
Vinyl vs. Other Siding
Vinyl developed a bad rap due to early manufacturing techniques that made it inconsistent in color and quality. Modern techniques have improved the material and have made it a top choice in siding. However, there is no one "best choice" since every material has advantages and disadvantages. Compare vinyl siding to other options:
- Wood – Wood siding has a more natural look. Using reclaimed or sustainably harvested wood makes it environmentally friendly, and disposal is very easy. However, it is very high maintenance and costs over twice what vinyl costs.
- Engineered Wood - Engineered wood siding is an emerging material made of wood strands coated in resin and compressed for strength. It boasts strong resistance to the elements, cost-efficiency and an authentic wood appearance.
- Aluminum – Aluminum's big advantage is that it can be bent to fit unusual shapes while vinyl must be formed to the shape at manufacture. Aluminum can also be painted, but as it dents the paint cracks and flakes off. The cost of aluminum siding fluctuates with the market, but it is very recyclable.
- Fiber Cement – Fiber cement is flame resistant and can withstand hurricane force winds, but that's about where its advantages end. It costs about 1.5 times more than vinyl siding and will require re-caulking and painting. It also cracks easily.
Pros & Cons
Before deciding on vinyl, consider these upsides and downsides:
- Pros
- Easy to install. It can be DIY with a little skill, or you can hire a professional
- Durable colors. Modern techniques in color make even the darker colors resistant to fading, Because the color is in the material, it doesn't show chips or cracks easily.
- Cost. Overall, vinyl is the least expensive material even when you consider installation. Also, you can recoup around 78% of your cost at sale.
- Cons
- Water resistant, but not watertight. Wind driven rain can get water behind the siding and cause mold and rot if drainage isn't put in and the walls aren't protected.
- Can still fade and dull. UV rays are harmful to the color, and though they can resist fading, eventually some fading will happen. Dirt that builds up can cause colors to dull.
- Bending and cracking. Extreme weather can cause vinyl to bend and crack. This is especially true where the weather fluctuates between extremes of heat and cold.

On 2nd October 1944, the Warsaw Uprising ends with the surrender of the surviving Polish rebels to German forces. Two months earlier, the approach of the Red Army to Warsaw prompted Polish resistance forces to launch a rebellion against the Nazi occupation. The rebels, who supported the democratic Polish government-in-exile in London, hoped to gain control of the city before the Soviets liberated it.
The poorly supplied Poles made early gains against the Germans, but Nazi leader Adolf Hitler sent reinforcements. In brutal street fighting, the Poles were gradually overcome by the superior German weaponry. Meanwhile, the Red Army occupied a suburb of Warsaw but made no efforts to aid the Polish rebels.
The Soviets also rejected a request by the British to use Soviet air bases to airlift supplies to the beleaguered Poles. After 63 days, the Poles, out of arms, supplies, food, and water, were forced to surrender. In the aftermath, the Nazis deported Warsaw's population and destroyed the city. With Warsaw out of the way, the Soviets faced little organised opposition in establishing a communist government in Poland.

The International Paralympic Committee which is the organization that governs and represents para-sports on the international level, including the Paralympic Games. Has announced that Malaysia has been stripped of the right to host the 2019 World Para Swimming Championships after the country had banned Israeli athletes from participating and has been becoming increasingly racist, homophobic and generally xenophobic. In the announcement, IPC President, Andrew Parsons stated…
"All World Championships must be open to all eligible athletes and nations to compete safely and free from discrimination. When a host country excludes athletes from a particular nation, for political reasons, then we have absolutely no alternative but to look for a new Championships host.
The Paralympic Movement has, and always will be, motivated by a desire to drive inclusion, not exclusion. Regardless of the countries involved in this matter, the IPC would take the same decision again if it was to face a similar situation involving different countries."
Malaysia has seen increased attention lately because of its discriminatory and oppressive policies targeting people based on their national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity. A recent article published in a leading Malaysian newspaper included a "how to spot a gay" checklist and drew out a large outcry from local activists. The media rhetoric has led to the deaths of many people suspected of being gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender In Malaysia, homosexuality is illegal and can lead to a 20-year prison sentence.
The IPC moved to strip Malaysia of the World Para Swimming Championships after Malaysia imposed a blanket ban earlier this month which banned anybody from Israel from entering the country participating in events hosted by the country. The IPC announcement clarified…
"In September 2017 when the IPC signed the contract with the Paralympic Council of Malaysia (NPC Malaysia) to host the World Para Swimming Championships, we had assurances that all eligible athletes and countries would be allowed to participate in the event with their safety assured.
Since then, there has been a change of political leadership and the new Malaysian government has different ideas. Politics and sport are never a good mix and we are disappointed that Israeli athletes would not have been allowed to compete in Malaysia."
While the 2019 World Para Swimming Championships is currently working to select a new host. It's refreshing to see the International Paralympic Committee showing its muscle and standing up to the ignorance, fear and hate that leads to discrimination and oppression.

Fertilizing is essential for maintaining a healthy, green lawn. Knowing what to do, when to do it and how much fertilizer to use can be tricky. That's why Carolina Fresh Farms is passionate about educating our customers. We intend to provide you with the most up-to-date and accurate information and fertilizer programs for maintaining a healthy lawn.
Our fertilizer programs are unique to the various types of sod we harvest and sell.
Weekend Project: How to Install Sod
When choosing a sod type, take into consideration the maintenance required for each grass variety. Consider the amount of time you plan to dedicate to the upkeep of your lawn. Be cognizant of site specifications such as shade and traffic.
Measure the length multiplied by the width of the area. This will give you the square footage you need to place an order. We suggest adding roughly 5 percent extra (over the measured area), so you will have enough sod to cut and fit around the curves.Click Here to use the Yard Measurement Tool.
The best way to provide the perfect growing environment for turf is to test your soil. Take a soil sample 6 inches deep from several places around the area you will be sodding. Mix the soil, and place it into a soil testing bag available at any of our six farm outlet locations. Your sample should contain about 1 quart of soil. The soil report will tell you what your fertility requirements are and how to amend any deficient nutrients. Please allow two weeks for soil test results. Any fertilizer, lime or organic matter to be applied should be worked into the soil and can be lightly packed with a roller. Sandy, infertile soil may need be added to the topsoil.
Use a rototiller to loosen the soil to a depth of about 6 inches. Remove any debris, rocks or dead grass. Slope the site away from your foundation. Rake soil level, making sure it is at least 1 inch below the grade of sprinkler heads or paved areas, like sidewalks, patios or driveways. Be sure to water your soil 24 to 48 hours before installation. Your soil needs to be moist when you lay your sod.
Plan to install your sod the day it is delivered. Start laying turf along the longest straight edge, such as a patio, fence, flower bed or driveway. Work with whole pieces, laying them one at a time, end to end. Continue along in a staggered, brick-like pattern. The sod should be laid tightly together but not overlapped. Be sure to avoid walking on the sod as you lay it. When the installation is complete, the entire lawn should be watered and packed with a roller to ensure ground contact and flatten any air pockets.
Water your newly installed sod to a depth of about 1 inch within 30 minutes of installation. Your new sod should be watered regularly for the next two to four weeks. You do not want to saturate your new lawn. Water should not puddle. After the first week, taper off on watering to encourage grassroots to sink deeper into the soil. A deeply-rooted lawn is one of the secrets to growing a lush, healthy lawn resistant to drought and other stresses. Traffic and use of your lawn should be restricted for a minimum of one month.
Most healthy lawns require about 1″ of water per week. Generally, mornings are an excellent time to water your lawn. Use infrequent applications to penetrate deep into the ground.
Some grass varieties require more work than others but in order to thrive in a particular environment, all types require maintenance.
Although there is no specific formula that covers every type of grass care in detail, there are several general rules that can be applied to all lawns:

Once you understand the RFP completely and have captured its requirements in a compliance matrix, decide how you will structure your proposal. Depending on the RFP, the structure may be self-evident, or you may have to infer it.
If the RFP:
We've seen all of the above, plus examples of no guidance and RFPs containing separate overlapping versions of the required information. If unclear, consider using the process specified in the RFP to ask the issuer for guidance. Many bidders are reluctant to ask questions, but issuers tell us it shows engagement and interest in winning their business.
In the absence of any guidance, organize your proposal as follows:
Where the RFP is vague or contains conflicting content information, make it easy for evaluators by including a compliance table cross-referencing RFP paragraph numbers to locations of the corresponding responses in the proposal.
Document your proposal structure using an Excel worksheet formatted into an annotated table of contents (ATOC). Assign columns for:

Use the information captured in the compliance matrix (see last week's post) to populate the ATOC. Reserve the first couple rows of the ATOC for general information about the proposal, including maximum pages allowed, any formatting restrictions and packaging and delivery requirements.
Use the remaining rows for proposal content requirements.
We assign separate rows to covers, tabs, sections and subsections and appendices. This lets us assign and manage responsibility for all design elements (covers, tabs, etc.) and for individual required forms (insurance certificates, bid bonds, etc.) as well as content. It also makes it easy to compile a detailed contents list as part of our printing instructions.
The ATOC is a powerful proposal management tool. Make it yours by adding columns for additional items you need to track and make decisions about how to populate it. Customize your ATOC so it works best for your business and team.

Trump officials alarmed Chinese may bid for Westinghouse unit
[WASHINGTON] The Trump administration is so alarmed that Chinese investors may try to purchase Westinghouse Electric Co's nuclear business that US officials are trying to find an American or allied buyer for the company instead, two people familiar with the matter said.
Cabinet members including Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin have discussed preventing Westinghouse's purchase by a Chinese-linked company, three US officials said.
For years, Chinese entities have been interested in the nuclear reactor builder, and the company has been a repeated target of Chinese espionage. Westinghouse filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 29 and its parent company Toshiba Corp is seeking a buyer for its money-losing reactor business.
Trump administration officials and members of Congress are concerned the bankruptcy filing could allow a bid from an investment group with hidden Chinese backing, one of the officials said. All of the officials requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter.
President Donald Trump will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the first time at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Thursday and Friday. A second official said the Trump administration is preparing for Westinghouse's bankruptcy to come up in the talks.
Among the chief concerns in the event of a Chinese purchase is the disclosure of nuclear technological secrets that could be used for either military or civilian purposes.
The US would almost certainly stop an open Chinese bid for majority ownership of Westinghouse's nuclear business, a third official said. The government has legal authority to regulate corporate acquisitions involving sensitive national security technology.
A Westinghouse spokeswoman didn't respond to requests for comment.
Concerned Perry, Mnuchin, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross are involved in discussions about how the administration would address a sale of the business, the officials said.
Southern Co CEO Thomas Fanning also has met with Mr Perry and Mr Tillerson to discuss Westinghouse's fate, according to a person familiar with the discussions. The utility company has a stake in avoiding disruption of Westinghouse's operations because the company is building two nuclear reactors for Southern subsidiary Georgia Power.
Administration officials so far have examined three potential courses to keep Westinghouse out of Chinese hands, said the person familiar with the discussions. The government might block a sale to a Chinese buyer; encourage an alternative bid from US or friendly foreign investors; or the government might invest in the company directly in return for an equity stake, akin to the Obama administration bailout of US automakers.
Any bid by Chinese investors would require approval by a panel known as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US, which reviews foreign acquisitions of US companies for national security risks. Mr Mnuchin chairs the panel. The committee, which includes the secretaries of the Treasury, Energy, Defence, State and Commerce departments, can impose changes to transactions or, in rare cases, recommend to the president that they be blocked. The panel has a maximum 75 days to complete its review.
China was the leading source of investments reviewed by CFIUS from 2012 to 2014, accounting for almost a fifth, according to Rhodium Group, a private research firm.
"By law, information filed with CFIUS may not be disclosed by CFIUS to the public. Accordingly, we cannot comment on specific transactions, including whether or not certain parties have filed notices for CFIUS review," a Treasury spokesman said.
A top Japanese government official has told Perry his government is worried about Toshiba's financial future if the conglomerate is unable to sell Westinghouse's reactor business, a US official said.
US-based venture capital firms with substantial ties to China have generated concerns in Congress. Most recently, Republican Representative Robert Pittenger of North Carolina wrote to the Treasury Department to object to Canyon Bridge Capital Partners' purchase of Lattice Semiconductor, a producer of US military applications and technology.
The venture capital firm "appears to be directly affiliated" with the Chinese government, Mr Pittenger said in a December letter.
Barack Obama blocked two Chinese deals when he was president: one for a wind farm in Oregon and the other for the US business of Germany's Aixtron SE, a semiconductor supplier.
Westinghouse supplied the world's first commercial pressurised water reactor more than half a century ago in Pennsylvania. There are currently more than 430 nuclear power stations globally, with about half based on Westinghouse technology.
Toshiba bought Westinghouse for US$5.4 billion in 2006. The company foresaw rising demand for nuclear power in the US, UK and China. Instead, natural gas became cheaper and the 2011 nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan, further soured the public on nuclear energy. The Japanese conglomerate has already lost US$6 billion on the purchase.
Five Chinese military officials were indicted in absentia in 2014 for allegedly stealing trade secrets from Westinghouse through computer hacks. A state-owned company, China General Nuclear Power Corp, was indicted in 2016 for conspiring to steal restricted nuclear technology from Westinghouse.

Lynchburg, Va. -- University of Lynchburg's men's tennis team stayed perfect on the young season Tuesday afternoon with a 7-2 non-conference win over William Peace on the Lynchburg Tennis Courts.
Lynchburg took a 2-1 lead after doubles play as senior Nick Savino (Bristol, Conn.) and sophomore Daniel Christian (Jamestown, N.C.) earned an 8-3 win at No. 2 slot and the Hornets took a forfeit at No. 3.
Lynchburg then took four of the five singles matches in straight sets, led by a 6-0, 6-0 win for Savino at No. 4 and a 6-1, 6-0 victory by sophomore Shawn Ikegami (Kumamoto, JAPAN) at No. 5.
Senior Bryce Barber (Evington, Va.) and Christian also won their matches at Nos. 2 and 3, and the Hornets picked up another point on a forfeit at the sixth slot.
It is the fist time a Lynchburg men's tennis team has started 3-0 since the 1995 season.
Lynchburg's tennis teams will hit the road for Hilton Head Island, S.C. next week on their annual Spring Break trip. Their first match of the Spring Tennis Fest will be against Gordon at 9 a.m. Sunday, March 10 at Chaplin Park.

The central loop of Destiny 2 Joker's Wild works like this: play Gambit Prime, earn synths, wager synths in The Reckoning to earn Gambit Prime armor, and repeat. The Reckoning is the source of Gambit Prime weapons and armor, so you're going to be playing a lot of it if you want to fill out your collection.
This four-player PvE activity is split into three tiers of ascending difficulty, so in this Destiny 2 The Reckoning guide we'll go over each tier in order and explain how to prepare for them and how to beat the final bosses of the higher tiers.
Destiny 2 Season of the Drifter | Destiny 2 Thorn | Destiny 2 Drifter Allegiance quest | Destiny 2 Vanguard Allegiance quest | How to get Gambit Prime armor | Destiny 2 Gambit tips | Destiny 2 Invitations of the Nine
The Reckoning tier one - 650 Power (Recommended 635)
Tier one is a simple horde mode: kill dudes to fill a meter before you run out of time, then melt a big boss. Once you drop down - and be sure to use a raid banner first - you'll have about four minutes to kill enemies, so split up and start shooting. If you see that a teammate is down, be sure to revive them, because the respawn timer in this area is long, and that can add up to a lot of lost DPS. Watch out for the Taken Vandals and Hobgoblins that spawn, too - sniper-class enemies really hurt.
Once you fill the meter to 100%, a big Taken boss will spawn in the middle of the arena. Break out your Supers, your heavy weapon, your grenades - put everything you have into it until it dies. If you're of-level, it shouldn't take too long to melt. Burst damage Supers like Blade Barrage, Nova Bomb, Chaos Reach, and Thundercrash work well here, but Shadowshow and Well of Radiance are always welcome.
The Reckoning tier two - 670 Power (Recommended 660)
Tier two starts off the same as tier one, just with higher level enemies. Once you clear the introductory horde mode, a hallway in the back of the arena will open up. This leads to the Bridge of Folly, the next stage of The Reckoning. To clear the bridge, you'll need to hold zones for around 30 seconds each as you fight back waves of enemies, including distant snipers and yellow-bar ultras, while moving up the bridge. This fight can get out of control quickly if you don't have the right Supers in your fireteam, so let's go over some recommended Supers and Exotics:
- Warlocks: Well of Radiance with Phoenix Protocol or Nova Bomb with the Skull of Dire Ahamkara
- Hunters: Shadowshow with Orpheus Rig, Blade Barrage with Shards of Galanor, or Golden Gun with Celestial Nighthawk
- Titans: Thundercrash or top-tree Sunbreaker (for Hammer Strike)
You are going to want a Warlock with Well of Radiance and a Hunter with Shadowshot for this section. Well of Radiance will protect you from the snipers and help you take down the ultras, and Shadowshow will control the countless Shadow Thrall. Prioritize those Supers over all others.
Each time you move to a new zone, have your team place a new Well of Radiance and Shadowshot to keep the enemies in check. Everyone else should use their Supers on the ultras. There should be Orbs of Light absolutely everywhere, so you'll have incredibly high Super uptime. Use that to your advantage and try to conserve heavy ammo for the boss fight.
Once you reach the end of the Bridge of Folly, one of two bosses will become accessible. These bosses rotate every week, so we'll go over how to beat both, starting with the Abyssal Champions in the catacombs.
The Reckoning Abyssal Champions boss fight
If the Abyssal Champions are the current boss, a Taken portal will open at the end of the bridge. Jump through and you'll find yourself in a giant underground crypt with a large cross-shaped floor. There are two axe-wielding Abyssal Champions down here with you, and your goal is to kill them in around four minutes. To do so, you'll first need to kill special glowing Taken called Hermits which will randomly spawn at one end of the cross.
The first Hermit will appear shortly after you enter the catacombs; look for a green icon. Move to the Hermit, kill it, and a Well of Light will appear where it dies. You need to stand in this Well in order to damage the Abyssal Champions, so group up before killing the Hermit and keep an eye out for the Champions. The Well will only last for around 30 seconds, and once it disappears, another Hermit will spawn. You'll need to repeat the process of hunting Hermits and spawning Wells until you're able to kill both Champions.
The Champions are melee enemies and they can teleport, so they'll constantly be rushing you, especially after you get their health low and they go berserk. Jump over their axe attacks as best you can, but remember that it's often smarter to lay into them with your Super and heavy weapon and just eat the death. There's no shame in corpse running. Your goal is to kill the Champions, not survive, so prioritize DPS whenever possible.
The same Supers that you used on the bridge will serve you well in this fight. Try to burn down one Champion first; killing one makes killing the other much easier. If your team does get wiped out, wait for your teammates to respawn before heading back into the catacombs, otherwise you risk wasting the next Hermit cycle while only a few members are alive.
The Reckoning Likeness of Oryx boss fight
If the Likeness of Oryx is in season, a jump pad will appear the end of the Bridge of Folly instead. This will shoot you over to the inverted pyramid in the distance, where you'll find the Likeness and continually spawning Taken. As you may have guessed, your goal is to kill the Likeness before time runs out.
The Likeness itself doesn't deal much damage, but it does have a wipe mechanic that you need to look out for. When it teleports to one of the shrines on the platform, it will start a 30-second countdown. You'll be able to track the countdown from the "Counterfeit Gaze" timer in the bottom left-hand corner. If this countdown reaches zero, everyone on your team will take a huge chunk of damage which can, and often will, one-shot you.
To stop the countdown, you need to deal enough damage to the Likeness. Yes, this is a DPS check. The kicker is that a Taken Ogre will spawn whenever the Counterfeit Gaze starts counting down, and if you don't kill the Ogre, you won't deal much damage to the Likeness. Just watch for the Gaze, kill the Ogre, and lay into the Likeness. Save your burst Supers for the Ogre and keep some heavy ammo in reserve to damage the Likeness and stop the Gaze.
The Reckoning tier three - 690 Power (Recommended 680)
Tier three of The Reckoning is nearly identical to tier two, just with higher level enemies and more difficult boss fights. You'll still need to clear the opening horde, move across the Bridge of Folly - with less time to clear each zone - and take down the same bosses.
Mechanically, the Abyssal Champions fight doesn't change between tiers two and three - the Champions themselves are just dramatically tankier. The Likeness of Oryx is also much tankier, and it will summon an extra Ogre with every Counterfeit Gaze cycle. Both fights take longer but play out very similarly. The same strategies will get you through tier three, you'll just need to execute them a little more carefully, and you'll need to be a higher Power level.

Sam Pilafian, a virtuoso tuba player who performed an eclectic mix of classical, jazz, pop and rock music and brought unflagging exuberance to teaching young tubists, died on April 5 at his home in Tempe, Ariz. He was 69.
His wife, Diann (Jezurski) Pilafian, said the cause was colon cancer.
As a busy soloist, a founding member of the influential Empire Brass quintet and a partner to the acoustic guitarist Frank Vignola in the jazz group Travelin' Light, Mr. Pilafian expanded the musical possibilities of his lumbering instrument.
"He's easily the best tuba player I've ever played with," the trumpeter Charles Lewis, another original member of Empire Brass, said by telephone. "He could do everything — play all kinds of music — and he could light up a room."
Mr. Pilafian, a natural entertainer, was once nicknamed the Evel Knievel of the Tuba for daringly playing "The Clarinet Polka" while standing on his head. He also tried teaching the tuba to Fred Rogers on an episode of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" in 1985.
"You have to blow through buzzing lips," Mr. Pilafian told Mr. Rogers.
After creating a sound, Mr. Rogers said, "Your lips tickle."
Mr. Pilafian tickled his lips during more than 40 years of diverse collaborations. He played with the singers Bernadette Peters and Barbara Cook; the Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton orchestras; the ensemble on the Philip Glass album "Koyaanisqatsi" (1982); the New York Philharmonic and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, as a substitute or soloist; and Pink Floyd, on the 1979 album "The Wall."
"I did a lot of studio work back then," Mr. Pilafian told The St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1990, discussing his work on "The Wall." "I had always studied jazz, so when I got to New York, I just ended up doing a lot of rock 'n' roll."
Recalling his work with the trumpeter Lew Soloff and the trombonist James Pugh, he added, "When they combined our sound, they sweetened it so my tuba actually sounds more like a French horn on the album."
But Mr. Pilafian is best known for his work with Empire Brass, whose repertoire includes Renaissance and Baroque music, transcriptions of classical works, show tunes, Christmas songs and pieces composed for the quintet. It has released more than two dozen recordings.
Empire Brass embraces the classic brass quintet configuration — a pair of trumpets, French horn, trombone and tuba — and has long been known for its virtuosity and showmanship.
"You have not often heard an ensemble that played with more gusto than this one," the New York Times music critic Donal Henahan wrote of an Empire recital in 1977. "Individual notes were hit in the center and chords were blended with the transparency that comes from exact corporate intonation. Phrases, even at dashing tempos, were lyrical and supple. Balances were perfectly achieved without any obtrusive effort."
Mr. Vignola recalled being a guest artist at a recording session with Empire Brass in the early 1990s when the producer asked him to make a jazz record with Mr. Pilafian. "Travelin' Light," the first of several albums they made, helped start them off as a touring duo.
"Who would have thought, a jazz tuba and an acoustic guitar?" Mr. Vignola said in a telephone interview from Sweden, where he was performing. "We were an odd couple, but our act went over. Sam was a great entertainer and, like Louis Armstrong, broke all the rules."
James Samuel Pilafian was born on Oct. 25, 1949, in Miami. His father, James, was a lawyer, and his mother, Rosa (Boyajian) Pilafian, known as Shocky, was a paralegal in her husband's firm and managed their commercial properties.
Sam played the accordion as a youngster. But he switched instruments at 11 on the advice of a veteran tubist, who told him that if he played tuba he would always have friends.
He was a quick study and within a few years had joined the musicians union and was playing in hotel orchestras that backed headliners like Frank Sinatra and Liza Minnelli, and in a six-piece Dixieland band that performed at racetracks and other places around Miami.
While attending what is now the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, where he earned a bachelor's degree, he had a summer fellowship at the Tanglewood Music Center for advanced music training in Lenox, Mass. His tuba playing impressed Leonard Bernstein, who was an adviser there, and who enlisted him in the orchestra for the premiere of his theatrical work "Mass" at the opening of the Kennedy Center in Washington in 1971.
Tanglewood was also the birthplace of Empire Brass.
Michael Tilson Thomas, the music director of the San Francisco Symphony, was then a conducting student at Tanglewood. He told Bernstein that the five brass instrumentalists "should begin playing together because we sound alike, although we had never met," Mr. Pilafian told The Post-Dispatch.
"So we did," he added, "and we became a rehearsal band, getting together just to rehearse."
He remained with the group for 22 years, leaving in 1993.
Mr. Pilafian, whose tuba mentors included Arnold Jacobs, the longtime former principal tubist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, was also a teacher for many years. He held positions at Boston University, Berklee College of Music, the Tanglewood Institute, Arizona State University and the Frost School. He and a fellow tubist, Patrick Sheridan, developed a series of exercises adapted from martial arts and yoga to help singers and wind and brass players breathe more effectively.
"My teaching philosophy has always been predicated on catching students doing something right," he told the magazine The Brass Herald in 2013.
The tubist Andrew Hitz recalled being a shy 14-year-old at Tanglewood in the summer of 1990 when Mr. Pilafian eased his fears.
"I could play as well as anybody, but I was scared and in tears," Mr. Hitz said by telephone. "But Sam was able with me, and countless others, to insulate us from criticism and make us feel you were safe, while challenging the hell out of you. The gift he gave me is that I never again questioned whether I belonged with any musicians."
In addition to his wife, Mr. Pilafian is survived by his sons, Alexander Sarkis Pilafian and Zev Levin-Pilafian, and his sisters, Marni Pilafian and Nerisa Gay Pilafian.
When Mr. Pilafian was in college, he was determined to do whatever was necessary to elevate his musicianship. So he tried an experiment with a friend, Mike Gerber, a blind pianist, he told NDSU Magazine in 2017, when he was a visiting artist at North Dakota State University.
Fascinated by Mr. Gerber's heightened sense of hearing, Mr. Pilafian bandaged his own eyes. He was disoriented that first day but felt that his hearing had noticeably improved after three days. On Day 4, he concluded that his listening had grown dramatically acute, and he could play back whatever Mr. Gerber played on the piano.
"Nothing was the same after that," he said.

Longtime creator and Marvel Comics contributor, spokesman, personality, and star, Stan Lee has passed away. Stan Lee was 95 years old. Lee the co-creator of Marvel's the Black Panther, Spider-Man, X-Men, The Mighty Thor, Iron Man, The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Daredevil, Ant-Man, to name just a few, passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Monday.
AFJ's thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. He is with his beloved Joan now, who passed away last year.
AFJ's Take: I am not worthy enough to eulogizing a man I never knew. However, Stan Lee came into my life via cartoons on a Saturday morning. He was the opening narrator for many of the Marvel cartoons I watched on a Saturday morning. I had no idea who he was or the impact he would have on my life then. In fact, years later, Spider-Man, a character he co-created with Steve Ditko would become my hero and my inspiration to do the right thing regardless of the cost. Stan Lee created many of the characters we hold a personal kinship too. That alone is his greatest legacy. He inspired generations of boys and girls to be as good as or better than all the heroes he created. There will never be a day that Stan Lee will not be a part of lives, nor will any of us ever forget who he was or what he did for us. Thank you, Stan. Forever will you be our man. #Excelsior

I'm coming out my cave, having been thoroughly engaged with a heavy workload for the last couple of weeks... so I have a little catching up to do on several fronts.
Anyway, here are a few things on tap for this weekend.
It was announced yesterday that due to the forecast for rain today (which has yet to appear here in Beacon), the COTA event in New Paltz has been rescheduled for tomorrow, Sept 28.
There are two events tonight:
Hermitage is hosting the opening of Mario Lemos: "Aura of Invincibility." (here's a personal aside. As fate would have it, just this week I've taken on the habit of pronouncing the word invincible with a lisp, rendering it invinthible. This cracks me up.)There will be an opening reception tonight from 6-9 pm.
Open Space is hosting Outre Autre - 2 hours of DJ music and 2 hours of videos by Joey Daytona. Below is some footage from the project. The event will run from 6-10pm
Tomorrow, weather permitting, the Spirit of Beacon Day Parade will be happening. This year, Artists at Large which, in the past brought us the Hudson River School Fish heads, and the Tools with legs has teamed up with students from one of the Beacon Community Center's programs, illustrating large scale renditions based on the kids drawings of what they want to be when they grow up.

Accra, June 18, GNA - Higher educational institutions which train the labour force have a role to play in ensuring that their products are well-equipped with employable skills, Professor Osei Darkwa, the President of Ghana Telecom University College, has said.
He said successive governments had rolled out several models and initiatives aimed at job creation, however, those policies and programmes had yielded little or no impact.
Prof. Darkwa said this at the weekend during the eighth graduation ceremony of the Pentecost University College (PUC) in Accra on the theme: "Economic Growth and Job Creation: The Role of Private Universities".
A total of 285 students graduated from the Faculty of Theology and Mission, Faculty of Engineering, Science and Computing as well as the Faculty of Business Administration.
Prof Darkwa said private universities had even much greater responsibility to turn out the calibre of graduates required by industry by ensuring that they acquired entrepreneurial skills to remain relevant.
Her said one area the universities, particularly the private ones, could explore was Information Communication Technology (ICT) to contribute meaningfully towards economic growth and job creation.
He noted that ICT stimulated economic growth and boosted job creation and it was important for government to put in place the necessary policies and infrastructure for educational institutions to leverage on ICT to make their products employable.

Gene Nichol oped in the News & Observer:
In mid-January, yet again, a three-judge federal court ruled the redistricting work of the North Carolina General Assembly to be a knowing, intentional and hugely impactful violation of the U.S. Constitution. This time the court struck down the apportionment of our federal congressional districts as an impermissible, extreme, partisan political gerrymander – designed, admittedly and successfully, to entrench Republicans in power and handicap their adversaries. The state yawned. We're used to it.
Rick Hasen, a professor at California-Irvine, is often said to be the nation's leading election law expert. Hasen wrote that the decision could hardly be seen as a surprise, given what our legislature did. "If there is any case that could be invalidated as a partisan gerrymander, it is this one," he indicated. It is "the most brazen and egregious" political electoral distortion yet seen in the United States. North Carolina leaders "admitted the practice, but argued it should be seen as perfectly legal."
The Supreme Court stayed the federal court ruling pending appeal. And it is unlikely the review will be squeezed into the current term, given the late scheduling adjustments that would be demanded. The court presently has two political gerrymandering cases on the docket. But Hasen thinks the impact of the North Carolina decision will be felt immediately. The court now knows "what the future of gerrymandering will look like if it is doesn't act in the Wisconsin or Maryland cases," Hasen wrote. We point the way to darkness.


text: If your smile is marked with missing teeth, AZ Dental can permanently replace your missing teeth with dental implants!

Hashemi, Lee, McDonald, and Sheth are pleased to use 3i dental implants in Sunnyvale, California, to increase your chances of a successful, lifelong implant. 3i dental implants do this by actually adding calcium phosphate to their screws instead of just spaying it on the outside. This helps your bone better integrate with your implant and make it last. Please contact us at 408-738-1000 for more information, and to schedule your appointment.

My grandmother moved into Starling about a month ago and she couldn't be happier. She loves all the activities (especially the Tai Chi and Yoga). Everyone is so friendly and helpful she has made so many friends. The staff is very helpful and has made this a wonderful home for her.
Melissa Salituri
The facility is beautiful and comfortable! We joked with our mother that if we could live there we would since it is so nice! The staff is caring, friendly, and is taking incredible care of our mother! I would highly recommend Starling!
D. Siv
Starling is a beautiful community. Their staff is always friendly and professional. I love walking in and seeing smiling faces from both residents and staff members. My grandmother is living there and she has become a social butterfly, always busy doing the exercise classes, art classes and activities, seminars and meeting up with her friends for meals.
Sarah Wagner
We could not be happier! From the first welcoming impression at the Concierge Desk, to the delicious food, the smiling care staff, we are very pleased with the services our family has received from the wonderful group at Starling.
Cheryl Rawlings
My mother moved into Starling on January 2. She and I both are thrilled with the care, environment, food and the staff. Everyone has treated my mother with respect, kindness and enthusiasm! Starling provides the residents with a plethora of activities in an environment that is beyond beautiful. The food is outstanding and has made my mother want to get to the dining room for every meal. We are so happy at The Starling!
Ellie Lynch
My mother moved into Starling from Ocala in December 2017 and my family could not be happier with the community and the way Mom has adjusted. Mom loves the chair exercise class, yoga and her regular bridge game not to mention the food! The entire staff is wonderful; they are very responsive and always friendly to both residents and families. Thank you to all the Starling Staff who make a positive difference in the lives of your residents!

People aren't sure what to make of Susan Green - family and colleagues find her prickly and hard to understand, but Susan makes perfect sense to herself. At 45, she thinks her life is perfect, as long as she avoids her feckless brother, Edward. She has a London flat which is ideal for one; a job that suits her passion for logic; and a personal arrangement providing cultural and other, more intimate, benefits. Yet suddenly faced with the loss of her mother and, implausibly, with the possibility of becoming a mother herself, Susan's greatest fear is being realised: she is losing control. When she discovers that her mother's will inexplicably favours her brother, Susan sets out to prove that Edward and his equally feckless friend Rob somehow coerced this dubious outcome. But when problems closer to home become increasingly hard to ignore, she finds help in the most unlikely of places.

Release Date: 2017 |
Album Rating: 2.8Hi
Album Rating: 3.0Not as good as Coma Witch but that solo in Gravebloom is sick and this has some of their heaviest songs imo.
If there are osdm plebs jamming Acacia Strain then they're bigger posers than me.
Album Rating: 2.8The exchange I most vividly recall was Snoxall saying he didn't mind The Acacia Strain surprisingly.
band sucks and always has been a chugfest of dumbcore tropes
Digging: Jeromes Dream - LP
Good review, this looks very avoidable (;
Digging: Lindemann - F & M
Sad. Didn't figure they had a great album in them anyway, but I was hoping there'd be jams to be had. I'll give this a once over at some point. Good review.
Digging: Sanguisugabogg - Pornographic Seizures
Album Rating: 2.8if you like any of their past work then you'll have a fine time here, I just wanted something more for no logical reason
I liked Death Is The Only Mortal, but other than that album these guys just aren't my cup of tea
Album Rating: 3.0always had a soft spot for this band since they were one of my first heavier bands, but ever since they lost DL their music hasn't had the same dumb fun grooves.
spot on review pretty much exactly how I feel
Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound OffThe songwriting's hasn't really changed much since Above/Below. maybe I'd bump this if I hadn't heard Coma Witch.
It's strange expecting The Acacia Strain to do something different but I didn't expect them to do something that was exactly the same.
At least the production is better this time around.
What's with Vincent's lyric patterns too? I think he's done this for awhile but it seems he rhymes every single word like AA/BB without fail.
haven't heard all of this yet but sounded better than coma witch but not as good as death is the only mortal
Digging: Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket - Det Onda. Det Goda. Det Vackra. Det Fula.
Album Rating: 2.5It's not really breakdowns if they're not breaking up the song fam
at least that's the way I see it
Album Rating: 2.5Gonna listen of course, for some reason this band is tons of fun for me. Still, for some reason I really like wormwood and ditom, but not coma witch (except observer, world demise etc), so we'll see if i dig this
Yeah i dont get why people give The Acacia Strain any sort of pass. They're essentially a rehash of the most average tough guy Deathcore out there
Album Rating: 2.5Listened to this album, horribly boring unfortunately. Their last really good album was death is the only mortal.
Album Rating: 3.5always had a soft spot for this band, just heavy ass riffage and good tuning. will check this
Album Rating: 2.0It's kind of astounding how un-fun this album is tbh, one of my favorite semi-guilty pleasure bands
Album Rating: 2.5Shit, there isn't a single riff that would even be as interesting as world demise. What a shame.
never liked them but try each album anyways let's gooooo

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men Review – A positive result for such negative attitude.
Kane and Lynch: Dead Men
Eidos, Io Software
Ps3, Xbox 360
Developer Io Interactive is capable of creating an immersing tone and feel to their games, as previously seen with the Hitman series. Deep and twisted characters have always been an important factor. Nobody has come close to Agent 47's love of killing. I'm willing to bet that Io's newest duo, Kane and Lynch don't love killing as much, but they are just as sick and twisted.
The best thing that Kane and Lynch has going for it is its well developed story. Kane and Lynch have really deep, interesting back stories that are constantly referred to mysteriously, but are never really touched down upon. The two are put in a deadly situation, and must do the impossible, to stay alive themselves, and to save their loved ones.
A warning: Do not play Kane and Lynch in the presence of any small children. I'm not exaggerating here. Every fifth word is a profanity. Many people won't find it offensive at all, and me, at the age I am, found it absolutely hilarious. Every character in the game says the F word at least once. Even the smallest roles.
What is expected out of something like that, is that Kane and Lynch develop a camaraderie and become brothers. Kane and Lynch are the exact opposite of that. They hate each other more at the end of the title, than they do at the start. This keeps the gritty style of the game, that you'll get used to and hooked on.
However, as great as the story is, Io Interactive made a game. That game is good, but doesn't live up to the story that keeps it flowing. As a third person shooter, Kane and Lynch has plenty of flaws. Enemy AI is questionable all the time. In several levels, enemies will just stand there, waiting to get shot down instantly. Squad AI doesn't fair much better. The controls are often clunky and slow, and it can make situations downright impossible to pull off. There were several times where I felt like stopping right then, and give the game a 4.0.
Of course, that wouldn't be fair to the game. Despite those huge flaws (Believe me, when I say huge. Those are the only issues in the whole game. Only three flaws. However, all three are huge, and effect gameplay in a big way, making some parts "really gay".), Kane and Lynch has a lot of merits that deserve to be stated. The entire game runs at a real fast, kick ass, action move pace. Every level just swarms you with enemies, hardly giving you time to think. All you can do is blast away with anything you have available.
The shooting is very competent. After playing Army of Two, and Dark Sector, both of which had slippery shooting mechanics, it's a breath of fresh air to play a game with well working aiming and recoil. The squad commands do work very well for the most part. You have the ability to tell your team to hold back, go ahead, attack, or stay by you. This is great, but if you choose to ignore the commands, your team will still get the job done, although occasionally they do go crazy.
Kane and Lynch also has a great cover system. Just pressing up against a wall, and you'll easily take cover on it. You can blind fire with surprising precision, and you can lean out and aim. Enemies will also take cover, but they're often retarded and will lean out for wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long. The cover system isn't as smooth working as in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, but it does work out, and you will value it.
Getting back to the issues I found with the game, the controls are just too slow and clunky to make the game fun. Turning is awkward, character movements are slow, and animations are off. There are more than a few times where you'll need precision to get through, and you'll end up retrying parts over and over until you get it right.
The enemy AI is just dumb. They don't have any techniques at all, and it's as if the bad guy found their mercenaries in the Yellow Pages. What's really uneven, is although it's obvious that enemy IQ is 17, they have insane marksmanship, and will constantly snipe you out with pistols and assault rifles. You'll hate it.
The campaign is only about 7 hours long, but the story's so great, it's worth doing twice, perhaps with a split screen friend. What's really odd and unappreciated is the lack of online coop. This would've been okay for a Ps2 or Xbox game, but it doesn't go by unnoticed in the next generation of gaming. It's a shame.
The one multiplayer mode, Fragile Alliance is really good. 8 players all start off on one team, and try to rob a bank. Once the loot has been taken, you can try to take it all for yourself by killing a team mate. Then, you are on your own, and our team has to take you out. It's really interesting, and fits the mood of trust and betrayal well. It's no Call of Duty 4, but it is really fun, and is the best part of the game.
Kane and Lynch has poor graphics at a technical standpoint. Textures are bland, animations are weak, there's lots of screen tearing, and framerate stutters. It doesn't look bad, but it definitely doesn't look good. At least the art style is great, and the atmosphere and mood is even better.
Dialogue is perfectly delivered, and the digital score is even better. There could've been more variety, but overall the sound quality is top notch.
So, that's it for my Kane and Lynch review. It isn't the best game out there, and it's fairly generic, but the great story, characters, and well working shooting mechanics are all good. It's definitely not the worst you can do for a 10 dollar rent. Fans of action will likely find something to like here.
