Welcome Trophy Hunters! As part of my Faction spotlight series I'll be looking at Eyes of the Nine today. All factions can win an Event and we're in a good place for Game Balance.
The warbands in the Bottom-most-Tier are warbands that I see as having a weakness so bad that they will need a lot of good fortune to win an event.
Eyes of the Nine Weaknesses
They have low health pools. Do not hit particularly hard. Are not survivable. Have a single, average, caster. Their Inspire conditions are janky. Whilst sold as 'the magic warband' they fall far short of the mark, currently.
"I watch you. I see the hatred in your eyes, well hidden behind courtly graces. I listen. I know the terrible darkness that hides behind your well-rehearsed lies. I wait for you at the edge of sanity. I taste the pain in your mind, the yearning to end this charade. I make my home in the darkest pits of your soul. In the shadows, I bide my time. I patiently wait for you to open your eyes and realize that it is by my will alone that you draw breath. For I am Tzeentch and you are my puppet who dances to my tune."
Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways
Their playstyle is rather unique in that it has to be hybrid by nature, they cannot play the pure objective hex game well despite having five fighters, nor can they go toe-to-toe in a fight. As for their defensive playstyle it's okay but nothing to write home about, and with the amount of teleportation in the game currently defensive builds are hardly rocking the world. Ultimately, the Eyes of the Nine have to play as a hybrid, which is actually rather thematic for the Lord of Change.
Never Miss an Article! Join the Trophy Hunters Today!
Eyes of the Nine & the BAR List
Whilst Eyes of the Nine never really got going with the BAR List they definitely miss Great Concussion & Quick Thinker to ensure their fighters are safe. I mean really 2 health & 1 dodge/block on the Flank bros* is just laughable. Whilst from the restricted list it is the Shadeglass Weapons that are missing from their arsenal to turn the dangle bros into threats.
*Flank bros is the new term that Steel City Underworlds and I coined at our most recent event. Basically, Flank bros are the Dangle bros who score you Extreme Flank.
Restricted Objectives They Love
- Change of Tactics
- Defensive Strike
- Escalation
- Extreme Flank
Restricted Gambits They Love
- Illusory Fighter
- Ready for Action
Restricted Upgrades They Love
- A Destiny to Meet
- Slumbering Key
- Shadeglass Hammer
- Shadeglass Dagger
Which Five Cards Would I Choose?
Ready for Action. Obviously. Extreme Flank is pretty important as this warband need to try and get as much glory as possible as quickly as possible. On that note, Escalation would also be top pick for me. For the final two I'd likely be intrigued to take A Destiny to Meet & Slumbering Key to turn the Blue Horror into a real Turn 3 loot Goblin.
Eyes of the Nine: Faction Cards
The Objective & Power cards contained in the Eye of the Nine Expansion excite me greatly, as they are so fantastically unique and really push the mechanics in the game. If only their fighter cards excited me.
Faction Objectives: A nice mix that make their scoring game a little easier.
- Chosen by Destiny: Score for having one of the apostles dead, whilst the other is alive. Combo with Martyred for maximum value.
- Master of Magic: Score Immediately if you cast two or more spells this phase. This can be acomplished by casting Vortemis' spell attack action and/or Gambit Spells. It's a strictly worse version of Harness the Storm in a warband with two less wizards and no printed spell action.
- Summoner: Bring back the Blue Horror a second or further time and score this immediately. If you play the 'loot goblin' build then this is a nice way to score an extra glory.
Faction Gambits: Some of the most interesting gambits in the game.
- Bound By Fate: Choose two friendly fighters that are within three hexes of each other. Switch their positions. Teleportation is strong! And this is nice for bouncing a 'charged' model back into safety whilst extending the threat of another model.
- Deceitful Step: Teleport to a starting hex or objective hex depending on the whim of the magic dice. I love it. More teleportation!
- Shield of Fate: This is a relatively easy to cast spell that increases Vortemis' defence by 1 for the remainder of the round. Good to help score Master of Magic, and keep the wizard alive.
Faction Upgrades: Nothing overly special here. Pretty bread & butter stuff.
- Empowered Sorcery: +1 Spell Attack Damage from Vortemis. Nice to get 3DMG on the spell attack, with Gloryseeker for 4DMG.
- Piercing Bolt: Cleave & hitting on Channel – sure it's only 1DMG but cleave is good, and being Channel it is open to auto hitting with Innates…
- Sorcerous Adept: …an upgrade giving Vortemis' and innate channel. A cute combo with the upgrade above and a guaranteed way of spaffing out easy to cast gambits if you're committed and want to try and score Agents of Change.
- Silver Tether: Faction locked Formless Key. Nice to have. Give it to the loot goblin and enjoy the fun.
Eyes of the Nine: Board Choices
When you Win the Roll (2 objectives)
This board prevents most turn one charges against your fighters and allows you the time to score some passive glory. It also provides lethal hexes which your opponent has to navigate and you can cast Ravenous Flame at them on the way! With your in-faction teleportation tricks you should be able to still cover plenty of the board. Be wary of Encroaching Shadow, though it isn't overly popular…yet. Turosh & Narvia start in Extreme Flank scoring mode, and K'charik is adjacent to Vortemis to allow a good chance of inspiration.
When you Lose the Roll (3 objectives)
Board choices don't become great when you lose the roll off with Eyes of the Nine. However, this classic defensive board gives you a trifecta of blocked hexes to hide behind and maximum distance away from your opponent on either the wide side with K'charik and Vortemis. You can assume that Turosh will die almost immediately, but such is life under the servitude of Tzeentch.
Final Thoughts
The warband is interesting. The skill floor to use them well seems very high and the ceiling…quite low, so they don't offer the competitive player very much in terms of winning events. But the do offer a challenge. I'd like to get them on the table again, and give it a go but first I'd like to win with Sepulchral Guard!
I do not think they are a powerful or strong warband as the Cursebreakers are and I don't think they have the flexibility of Chosen Axes or Zarbag's Gitz. I'll be keeping a close eye on this warband as we get more spell cards, and ploys that interact with spells. One for the future I reckon. Before I leave you this is my favourite bit of artwork about Tzeentch – the image literally changes and comes to life before you. IT'S SO DAMN GOOD!!

Acer's Chromebook 15 which they announced back at CES in January, is finally available. It's the first 15-inch Chromebook that's been made available. The Chromebook 15 is available in both 2GB and 4GB of RAM models as well as 16GB of SSD or 32GB of SSD models. The models range between $250 and $350. Not a bad price for this Chromebook at all.
All three of the variants do feature a Full HD IPS display, instead of the typical 1366×768 resolution display. We also have an anti-glare coating on these displays. Which is a pretty big deal. Acer has also tossed in the Intel Celeron Dual-Core 3205U 1.5 GHz Processor. There is the Intel Core i5 model, however that won't be available for a bit longer, likely late April. Acer states that they still get about 9 hours of battery life out of the Chromebook 15.
We have upward-facing speakers on the front of the Chromebook 15 which make for some pretty amazing sound from a Chromebook. While it is a 15-inch laptop, essentially, it is still pretty light, coming in at about 4.85 pounds. Acer has also put in 802.11 AC WiFi network connectivity, using MIMO technology. So you'll be able to get some pretty decent WiFi speeds.
With this Chromebook, Acer is also giving out 100GB of Google Drive access for 2 years, along with 10 free sessions of GoGo Inflight internet and finally two months of free Google Play Music All Access. Now this is normal on most Chromebooks, but still a nice perk for picking up a Chromebook.
Early reviews of the Acer Chromebook 15 have been pretty positive. It's also great to see Acer working with other screen sizes. Now they have 11.6-inch, 13.3-inch and 15-inch offerings all at different price points as well.
It's important that we point out that these Chromebooks are essentially just running Google Chrome. So if you need Adobe Lightroom, or want to play games on it, a Chromebook isn't right for you. However, if everything you do on your laptop can be done in Chrome, then a Chromebook is perfect. You can pick up the Chromebook 15 from the widgets down below.

In case you want to accomplish very good outcome coming from your home redesigning Colorful Shoelaces project, check that your preparation is accurate. It is vital not to ignore every phase outlined Karen White below when planning your improvement plan.
Do you want to redesign just one area or the entire space Colorful Shoelaces? Figuring out what you would like to obtain with your interior decoration at the beginning will help to avoid squandering time and money through out the project.
Are you going to carry out the redecoration by yourself? The fact is, you cannot find one answer covers all situations regarding this matter 1979. If you feel stressed out with the renovation then working with interior designer is the most effective decision. If you simply want to rearrange your space or replace broken cupboard doors in that case hiring experts is unnecessary.
The subsequent thing to consider is your spending budget. Just like when you pay for a car, you should set a certain sum of money to carry out your interior decoration plan January 13, 2016 at 7:36 pm. Assuming you find yourself incompetent with creating spending plan, it is better to appoint home improvement experts for the work.
Finally, if you wish to perform upgrade Colorful Shoelaces on just one space, it is recommended to make use of your current home concept for the room.

Beautiful photography! I bought several photos from this shop – they bring some peace to my office space! Fast shipping, lovely photos, great quality. Would order again. … from Etsy
Absolutely beautiful photo showing the spectacular coloring of the Indigo. Bought it as a Mother's Day present and may have to buy one for myself. The photo was packaged well and arrived in perfect condition. … from Etsy
Love the photo. I'm adding it to the grouping of Lake Superior photos on my foyer wall; it will make a beautiful addition. … from Etsy
Received my picture ! Absolutely love it! The paper and color are amazing! Such wonderful memories! Thank you! … from Etsy
This photo is not only beautiful, it is very personal. I spent many summer weeks on my Uncle Bob's farm shown here. Those visits were wonderful and this remarkable picture brings the memories rushing back! This professional top-notch picture was delivered quickly and has a prominent place in my office! You need to treat yourself and order something today! … from Etsy
Loved it. Great quality. Thanks … from Etsy
I am in love with the quality of the print that came from Ada High Photo. The print came quickly and the photographer was very easy to work with. I would highly recommend working with this vendor. … from Etsy
Kent was so patient with us! He let the kids play in between shots which was so helpful to keep them engaged and happy. We didn't feel rushed and has a way with kids to make them smile no matter their mood. Highly recommend him – you will not regret it!! … from Facebook
Kent was so patient with all of the kids during the session (and some of the adults). He gave them time to burn off some energy and was great at getting them to smile. The directions he gave were very clear and I am so excited to see the finished product! … from Facebook
Kent is an extremely talented photographer in all areas and truly just a great guy. He has made "picture day" for our family easy with his knowledge, flexibility, expertise and kindness. Whether senior portraits, HS football game day pics, professional work photos, or family portraits, we were always highly satisfied and appreciative. We have many of his Upper Penninsula/Lake Superior shots adorning our walls, and I have a sunset photo on my office wall that truly draws me to peace on high stress days. I love the note cards, stickers, and we also have a beautiful calendar with my favorite shots. I see new pictures posted from trips abroad – WOW, Incredible!
I was immediately attracted to the artistry of this photographer online and I found that the photos, while represented well on the website, are even more stunning in my home. This nature art has transformed the room where I've hung them bringing the beauty and grace of the Michigan outdoors inside. They're calming and uplifting and transform my attitude. I received the photos in a timely manner, within a couple of days. Everyone involved in this service is authentically concerned about their customers. The photos are mounted and packed with care. A positive experience all the way around. I highly recommend!
Ada Highlander Photography has fantabulous nature photos! Whether you like landscapes, birds, flowers, photos of the beauty of Michigan, or other places in the world, you will find some great artwork in this website! I especially like the photos that are printed on metal…they stand out about an inch from the wall and add some depth to the art. The canvass-wrapped photos are amazing because they look like they have been painted on the canvas.
I have a picture of the Grand Haven pier at sunset printed on metal. It seems like you are looking at the sunset in person. I've added a picture light and you would think the real sunset was on the wall. Absolutely beautiful!!

Quick Takes are scripts that serve as short safety talks to remind staff about safe work practices. This Quick Take covers the signs and negative effects of fatigue when driving, and methods to reduce risks. Quick Takes help keep safety in the forefront of employees' minds and demonstrate a commitment to safety on the part of the organization by improving safety culture. The Quick Take also offers an opportunity for employees to ask questions, discuss safety topics and develop solutions to specific hazards while encouraging communication.
Fatigue: Drowsy Driving Quick Take Training Overview and Objectives
- Overview: Covers the signs and negative effects of fatigue when driving, and methods to reduce risks.
- Purpose: To educate employees and organizations to make positive changes to identify and reduce fatigue when driving and improve worker health and safety.
- Preparation: Change the script as needed to reflect procedures and personnel in your department.
- Handout: Quick Review of Safety Fatigue: Drowsy Driving
Notes: Scheduling has a great effect on an employee's quantity and quality of sleep. Both time of day and duration of work hours has a strong impact on drowsiness and fatigue. Further resources on developing better schedules can be found in the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health resource Work Schedules: Shift Work and Long Hours.
Supervisors typically give the Quick Take talks during regularly scheduled or informal meetings. To improve their effectiveness as a training tool, all Quick Takes should be modified to reflect the needs and situations of your specific workplace. Quick Takes are not designed to take the place of regular formal training.

After winning their first ever World Cup penalty shoot-out England are through to the quarter finals and face Sweden, where they'll hope to flatten them like a piece of IKEA furniture. We take a look at the financial comparisons between both countries.
Sweden sit in 24th on the FIFA World rankings, 11 places below England. But how does the cost of living compare?
Average house price in the Capital City
Average life expectancy yrs
Men = 79.2 Women = 82.9
Men = 80.7 Women = 84
Minimum wage per hour
£7.83 (25+)
£10.04 (20+)
Average yearly salary (approx)
Price to income ratio
Retirement age
Men = 65 Women = 63
Men = 65 Women = 65
Price of Petrol & Diesel per litre
£1.26 | £1.32
£1.38 | £1.37
Price of milk per litre
Pack of 20 cigarettes
£9.50 (Thank you UK taxes)
The cost of living in Sweden is recorded to be 6.37% higher than in the UK.
(Statistics taken from https://www.numbeo.com)
Unlike Colombia, the Swedes are living longer than the Brits and although the house prices in Stockholm aren't as expensive as those in London the countries average earnings are better, with a much larger minimum wage. There isn't much difference in your weekly shop, although you can save a whole 1p on milk here in England.
Again, these statistics hold no influence over the actual football result but it's an interesting opportunity to compare ourselves financially with another European country just 1,300 miles away.

Doing. I am twenty years old and I am certain there are many out there who understand much more than I do,just how hard it can be to start DOING.
I have many dreams,many aspirations and multiple hobbies. All of those things are dusty,rusted and asleep on my pile of unfinished things. So many things I want to do. So many places I envision myself to be.
The truth is there is no particular plan. No straight line. I just want to Do, and I hope that Opportunities will follow.
There are a few things I have started and i will mention them for my own records.
1. Yoga ( in pigeon pose as i write this post)
2. YouTube channel
4.Drawing/ animation Class
5. Writing
6. Blogging
This list is much longer than I thought and I already feel a bit of fear that I may have just done it again… started a bunch of things, gone over my head?
My list of unfinished things/ things I have yet to continue:
1. French/ Spanish
2. Crochet/knitting
3. Sewing
4. Football
5.Toastmasters (public speaking club)
So I see my pattern.. this journey feels a bit heavier than i had expected. Its frightening and I already feel discouraged. All those things I started in 2015 and they are incomplete. There might even be more than I can think of right now.
Recently I heard someone say that you are a loser if you have yet to finish what you have started… and gosh.. what do you know, here i type.
Regardless of the facts. It is time this pattern changed isn't it? No point in wallowing in my unfinished pile when I have so much to look forward too.

Netcool/OMNIbus OSLC Service Provider
Denilson Nastacio 2000000C8X Comment (1) Visits (11769)
Courtesy of my colleague Chris Appleton in Netcool/OMNIbus development, there is a new video on how they designed their own OSLC Service Provider for their upcoming 7.4 FP3 release. All standard disclaimers apply about release contents not being final until formally announced, but the work is already subject to external try-outs in the Jazz for Service Management hosted beta . This video was primarily created for systems integrators who already extend Netcool/OMNIbus and want to expand that integration to enable collaboration with other OSLC... [More]
OSLC as a foundation for DevOps
Tuan 1200006EEX Visits (8317)
There is currently considerable interest in DevOps . And well this might be since the goal of DevOps is increased responsiveness to your customers. One of the basic tenets of DevOps is automation of processes : have code perform what was previously painstaking manual work, which helps achieve faster and more frequent development/deployment cycles. But, you might have tens of tools installed in your environment, each with its own interface. We need to programmatically orchestrate the work done by these tools and do so in a consistent way....

JazzSM 18.104.22.168 milestone 3 beta driver has just been released and I am really thrilled with the introduction of support for provider record templates, brain child of our ever keen Joe Ross. Provider record templates are a mechanism for OSLC service providers to inform Registry Services about what their records should look like without ever sending them to Registry Services. This is an ideal arrangement for service providers which have considerable amounts of data about several resources, to a point where it would be impractical to send that... [More]

Integration scenarios as input to OSLC specifications
Tuan 1200006EEX Visits (8332)
A common requirement from the integration scenarios that I've been introducing to you is the need for combining data from multiple sources. For example, while scenario "Service and Application Problem Diagnosis" calls for being able to determine the impact on services and applications of supporting resources and scenario "Deployment of VM, System and Application patterns in Cloud" calls for being able to provision servers in the Cloud, the implementors of both scenarios share the need to process data from diverse inputs such as ...

Last time , I mentioned how IBM teams use scenarios as a tool to bake in integration in our products.

Now, since it's integration we're talking about, it's not one product that's released, it's multiple products.

Publishing integration scenarios on Service Management Connect
Tuan 1200006EEX Visits (5448)
One of the guiding principles of OSLC is that everything is scenario driven . OSLC workgroups focus on satisfying real-world interoperability scenarios and use these to agree of what is to be defined in an OSLC specification . IBM teams follow the same principle when trying to define integration between products. A scenario allows us to define the who,what,why and how of an integration and to do it in a way that allows for disparate groups to focus on the task at hand. We're publishing on the Jazz for Service Management wiki the scenarios... [More]

Business partners and internal development teams often commend the simplicity of the OSLC integration model adopted in Jazz for Service Management, which is based on well-established open web standards. The openness guarantees that the knowledge is reusable in other implementations, and that vendor neutrality will ensure the stability of APIs and the simplicity of integration with other applications. At the same time, those standards do carry a handful of concepts and models on their backs, but do not panic, they are mostly harmless. The... [More]

I have been enough lucky to have been surrounded by yoga and meditation my whole life. Growing up with my aunt, a yoga therapist and meditation teacher, and my older sister, an Ayurvedic practitioner and Reiki healer, I was drawn to yoga and holistic healing from an early age.
When I moved to New Orleans at the age of 18, I began learning Reiki with Valerie McMillan of the Ohm Well. My journey to Reiki has been a transformative experience; Reiki allows me to ground myself in compassion, and find power in my sensitivity. I have been training and apprenticing with Valerie since 2015; and I am incredibly grateful for all I have learned from her.
Last summer, I had to opportunity to study in India, where I had the opportunity to expand my reverence for the incredible history of yogic philosophy and practice. In Dharamshala, I began to learn the teachings of Dzogchen. After I graduate from university this Spring, I hope to begin yoga instructor training, and expand my practice further.

The weather here for New Year's Eve in SoFLA was close to perfect, with clear skies and a waxing crescent moon. Sue Ten decided it was a good time to show another movie on the side of The Swing Barn and advertised Casino Royale accordingly.
A lot of us were happy to see that since we wanted to be prepared for the new James Bond flick Quantum of Solace which picks up exactly where the previous Daniel-Craig-as-James-Bond movie left off, but Sue surprised us by showing the Peter Sellers / Woody Allen version of Casino Royale, and that one ends in a wild night of cowboys on horseback, Indians with flaming arrows, Navy seals in scuba gear, and US Marines, not unlike many regular nights at The Swing Barn.
The festivities at the Slice of Heaven 24-Hour Pie Shop and Driving Range were a little more restrained, and aimed at the non-drinking crowd. Prentiss, my pie-shop apprentice, did come up with a fabulous new corn-dog pie with an onion-ring crust, and she also served one of the possibilities in our search for "The Best Key Lime Pie Ever". Sadly, she garnished it with a slice of lime that was definitely not of the key-lime variety, but more on that later.
Out on the driving range, we offered free balls from nine to midnight, and that always brings in a crowd. One new player was a guy with long gray hair and a handlebar moustache, who told me, "I was a caddy 50 years ago, and just now I am starting to play myself."I told him that it's a game for optimists, since you can always believe that the next hit will be better. He said, "I was an optimist when I got here tonight, but I think I am a pessimist now." I hope he cames back. His accent smacked of New England, and I'm always a sucker for that.
As the evening progressed, I noticed several people from my physical therapist's office, but I think they were just trolling for business. Also, there were any number of fem-bots in short black dresses and high-high heels, trolling for business of another sort entirely. Granted, there aren't too many night spots out on the edge of the 'Glades where we live, and with the economy slumping as it is, we aren't in a position to turn anyone away.
Your second-cousin Darnell, by the way, did a great job of keeping the kids busy by having them create an "art car" which they covered with spray paint. I'm fairly sure my ex-husband Pretty Boy Boyd will like the new look of his formerly orange Toyota Celica. He'll let us know when he gets back from New Orleans, if that is, in fact, where he really is. I hope so. He used to tell me that he had been a river boat gambler in a former life, and died in Louisiana. Perhaps history will repeat itself, not that I wish him ill. Of course not.
Nurse Crotchett brought along a truck load of fireworks, which she set about firing from the driving range, setting them off wherever she found an open slot. I tell you, it made for a great visual impact: golf balls flying into the air, fireworks lighting up the sky, the movie on the side of the Swing Barn, and the waxing crescent moon overhead.
I worried a little about some of the folks stumbling out of The Swing Barn into harm's way, but your second-cousin Darnell had the good sense to tether his goat Jonathan on a long line near the edge of the driving range, and for once, Jonathan earned his keep, and we resisted the urge to turn him into goat pie for yet another day.
I headed down to my turquoise conch cottage around 3:00 a.m., which was a nice change from my usual insomniac stroll TO the pie shop at about that time, and fell into a few hours of troubling dreams.
One of the dreams, that I can still see pretty clearly, involved a wild car ride down a mountain road with Nurse Crotchett at my side and distressingly ineffective brakes. I probably don't need much help analyzing that one. I also dreamt that I had found an Asian baby, and gotten quite attached to it. The child grew to toddler size and was able to speak quite eloquently in no time, which is when she said, "I think I'm ready to go home now."
The final dream was that my orange hair color had gone strangely spotty, and was showing peculiar patches of mousy brown and gray. I can't understand that one at all. Tonight, the girls & I are dressing up to go to the ballet, leaving Darnell; Joe Sparkle, Junior; and The Morning Guy in charge. I'm sure they will do just fine, don't you agree?

JAGUAR Land Rover have begun the UK's first in-city on-road trials of autonomous cars. The testing is taking place in Coventry as part of UK Autodrive's three-year project for connected and self-driving cars.
The organisation is a consortium of leading technology and automotive businesses, local authorities and academic institutions. The idea is to make the UK one of the global hubs for autonomous technology and how it will integrate into our society and systems.
Coventry is one of only 12 cities across the globe collaborating and conducting tests on public roads.
A Range Rover and an F-Pace have already been put through their paces in real-world testing situations in the city, bringing intelligent vehicles closer to reality.
As part of the £20million programme, JLR will test a range of new technologies allowing cars to talk to each other as well as roadside infrastructure such as traffic lights.
The trials will look at how cars of the future, which are both connected and autonomous, can replicate human behaviour and reactions on the road. At the same time, the company are developing both fully and semi-autonomous technologies for customers.
Some time in the future, car buyers will be able to choose between a fully autonomous car or an engaged drive. The company have pledged to make the self-driving car viable in the widest range of real life, taking into account on and off-road driving environments and weather.
Nick Rogers, of Jaguar Land Rover, said: "Testing this self-driving project on public roads is so exciting, as the complexity of the environment allows us to find robust ways to increase road safety in the future.
"By using inputs from multiple sensors, and finding intelligent ways to process this data, we are gaining accurate technical insight to pioneer the automotive application of these technologies.
"Jaguar Land Rover are proud to be leaders in collaborative research projects for autonomous and connected cars.
"We are supporting innovative research that will be integral to the infrastructure, technology and legal landscape needed to make intelligent, self-driving vehicles a reality within the next decade."
Research has already been conducted in closed environemnts. The public trials will continue in 2018.

Eating healthy doesn't have to mean being restrictive, but rather being mindful of which foods work best for your body. To assess whether a certain dietary plan is best for you, it's important to look at genetic predispositions you may have for a variety of influential traits, from nutrition to personality!
The Mediterranean diet consists mainly of plant-based foods such as fruits and vegetables, nuts and whole grains. It incorporates healthy fats, such as the monounsaturated fats [MUFAs] found in olive oil or avocados, and emphasizes fish while limiting red meat.
How could my genes affect the outcome of this diet?
Genetic variations in the ADIPOQ gene have been found to be associated with an increased advantage of following the Mediterranean diet, as a way to facilitate fat loss and improve metabolic health. Other genes contributing to the effectiveness of this diet include PPARG and LPL. Do you have any of these genes? All three of these genes are related to fat storage and are produced by your fat [adipose] cells. Imagine your fat storage apparatus as the organizational system in an airport. Molecules of fat would be the suitcases to be stored within the airplanes, or cells. PPARG is responsible for directing which line and to which gate the suitcases need to go through in order to reach the right plane. When suitcases are being checked in, adiponectin would in charge of determining how much space is available to accommodate them. Finally, the enzyme LPL is the labourer who does the hard work, loading each suitcase onto the planes, like molecules of fat entering the cells.
Variants of the mentioned genes could result in an LPL that doesn't work as hard, for example, or PPARG that has trouble signalling efficiently. Due to these variations in how each person's body deals with fat, the Mediterranean diet, rich in healthy fats, can be more beneficial for some than others.
Your Basic Wellness Package includes a report on the effectiveness of the Mediterranean diet for your health and wellness. However, having a genetic predisposition for this trait may not necessarily mean it is practical or even maximally effective for you. This is due to the fact that a combination of different traits affect how you lose weight, which nutrients your body needs most, and even how easily you embrace a specific lifestyle change. Delve a little deeper and find out!
What other traits should I look at?
For example, if your Vitamin Reports show a predisposition for Iron Deficiency and Vitamin C Deficiency, you may need to supplement your diet with foods rich in iron and vitamin C, such as oranges, strawberries, spinach, and poultry. Due to these predispositions, relying solely on the Mediterranean Diet — which is not particularly rich in these vitamins — would not be enough to cover all your body's nutritional needs.
Example 2: If you are elevated for Sweet Tooth and Carb Overconsumption, you may find it more difficult to reduce your sugar intake and moderate your carbohydrate consumption. Thus embracing the Mediterranean diet, with its focus on carbs from vegetable, fruits, and whole grains and minimization of sweets, could be more challenging for you than the average person.. If you know whether you have predispositions for these traits, you can be aware of what makes a certain diet challenging for you to follow, and focus on making the necessary adjustments.
Example 3: If someone has a predisposition for Satiety Impairment and Fat Taste Perception, the increased protein and healthy fats of the Mediterranean diet would help contribute to satiety and make the diet easier to follow.

What I Wish I Had Known Before I Got a Dog
Here at Lost Creek, we are experts in dog behavior and communication. We can predict a dog's behavior within seconds of meeting them for the first time. We gained this knowledge through years and years of studying, researching, and good old fashioned trial and error. Often, we have clients come to us who are at their wits end with their dog. They simply cannot fathom what is going in their dog's mind! Since, we know canines so well, we are able to quickly diagnose and correct the problems our clients are having. I can't tell you the number of times we have been asked "Are you guys magicians?" While what we do may look like magic, what it really comes down to is one simple thing: we know dogs. So I began to think about how we can make it easier for our clients to know their dog. I came to the realization that, frequently, people don't understand their dog because they had no idea what to expect when they entered the dog world.
I will admit I was this way years ago when I bought my first dog, Chio. Chio was a Shiba Inu. For those of you that know Shibas, they are strong willed. I cannot tell you why I decided to buy one of the most strong willed breeds in the world for my first dog, but she was really cute! I had grown up with dogs and thought that I knew what I was doing. It's hard to admit, but I was not a good owner for Chio. I had no idea how to be a good dog owner, let alone an owner of a hard-to-handle dog. She had no idea how to be a good dog, based on human standards. She couldn't understand why she shouldn't potty in the house when she needed to. I was baptized into the dog world by fire and through many tears, help from family members, calls to trainers, and hard work, Chio and I came to a simple understanding: neither of us knew what we were doing! Chio passed away young in an accident, but I will never forget the lessons I had learned with her. It was only then, when I came to work with Lost Creek, that I truly understood where I went wrong with Chio and I feel compelled to help others that feel lost, just like I did all those years ago.
Dogs are NOT people This sounds SO simple, but it is one of the main reasons that our clients struggle with their dogs. I will say it again. DOGS ARE NOT PEOPLE. They do not think like us. They do not learn like us. They do not behave like us. The best lesson you will ever learn for your dog's sake is to stop EXPECTING them to behave in the way that you believe they should and TEACH them to how to! Digging, barking, chewing, howling, protecting their food; these are all completely natural behaviors to dogs. They are BORN doing these things, so expecting them to know how to do anything else without guidance is unfair. You must learn to be able to communicate with your dog in order for them to know what you are asking of them. Learn to speak "dog."
Not all dogs are the same
This one sounds ridiculously simple as well, but I promise you, we all do it. We all remember our childhood dog or even our previous dog that was well mannered and mild tempered. We may even see the parent(s) of our pooch and think "that is what my dog is going to be like". We enter into a relationship with our dog with these preconceived expectations in our head. But not all dogs are created the same. Even dogs from the same LITTER can be vastly different. Temperament, intelligence, willingness to please…these are all things that affect a dog's behavior and cannot be expected to remain consistent throughout litters, breeds, and even the species. Don't get me wrong, meeting the dam and sire of your pup before you purchase them is greatly important, especially when picking a future service dog, but it is NEVER a guarantee. You can and SHOULD always consult with an animal behaviorist when thinking of purchasing/rescuing a dog. We have a much better idea of what we are looking for than the layman.
Dogs NEED consistency and rules
Just as children need to know what the rules are and have them enforced, so, too, do our dogs. Dogs come into our world with a huge disadvantage. They are not in control of their own lives and are made to live in a game where they do not know the rules. We have a saying at Lost Creek; Make training your dog a game that they can always win! The first step to winning, is teaching them the rules to the game. You should make the expectations clear and realistic for them. If your dog does not know what the command "Stay" means, you cannot expect them to remain in a "Stay" as you walk 20 feet away without failing! Next, is showing them how to play! Show them what you want them to do before ever introducing a command. The last step is to never make the game so hard that they want to give up. Dogs have a short attention span. Do not push them through a 30 minute training program without building them up to it. You can't win a marathon by just showing up and running, without practice!
Dogs do NOT speak English (or any other language)
Do you speak Arabic? Farsi? Russian or Tagalog? Neither does your dog, nor English. "Ok, so what language do they speak?" I know it sounds funny, but I'm serious. I often see people just shouting commands at their dogs and then getting upset when the dog does not respond. If you do not show your dog what to do and then associate the word, they will not know what a particular word means. You could yell "potato" at them for as much difference as it would make.
Dogs cannot EAT like humans
Dogs have specific nutritional requirements. These cannot be met by eating food created for humans. They cannot be met by eating cat food. Dogs must eat food for dogs. Whether that is dry food, wet food, or whatever have you, their diet needs to be tailored for their species: canine. They cannot live well on scraps, there is too much inconsistency in nutrition. They cannot live well on a vegetarian, vegan or all meat diet, dogs are omnivores.
Dogs NEED exercise
I cannot stress this enough. You can't buy a dog, keep them in a kennel/room all day, do nothing with them except snuggle them, and expect them to be happy! They NEED exercise to release energy! Have you ever been snowed in to your house for days without television, books, or anything to keep you busy? That is what it feels like to them, ALL of the time. They go stir crazy! If your dog is tearing things apart, you are not meeting their needs in some way, the most likely of which is exercise. Check out our blog post "LCTA's Tips and Tricks: Exercise" for some tried and true methods of incorporating exercise into your pup's routine.
A dog needs TIME TO ADJUST to their new home
When you bring a new dog into your home, they are going to feel completely overwhelmed with all of the changes that are taking place. New sights, sounds, smells, and expectations are going to be heaped onto them. This can put even the most calm dog on edge. Help ease the transition for them by setting the rules right away, and show them what those rules are. Explain where they can and cannot potty, lay, sleep, etc. Don't expect them to be perfectly behaved because odds are they will not be. Be understanding and gentle. Expect anywhere between 2-4 weeks for your dog to adjust. If your dog is coming from a traumatic situation, this time-frame may be significantly longer. It is always a good idea to consult a behaviorist before bringing a new dog to your home to give you a specific timeline and training plan for your family.
Puppies take a LOT of work
It's hard to say no to a puppy, isn't it? They have the most ADORABLE faces and are so fun to play with. What a lot of people don't know (or forget) is that puppies take a LOT of work! The amount of attention that puppies need is not far off from what a human infant needs. They cry, they make messes, they poop and pee a LOT! If you are considering getting a young puppy, go into it with realistic expectations. Even I forget how much work is involved until a new puppy joins us in the kennels. It is hard work, but if you do it correctly from the VERY beginning, your puppy will be house broken and well mannered in no time! An 8-18 week old puppy is still a baby. They WILL have accidents, chew things, jump on people, pull on the leash, and exhibit so many other "bad" behaviors that you will want to rehome them. It is ENTIRELY unacceptable to expect a puppy to be perfect or even a "good dog" at these ages. All dogs mature at different rates, and MOST puppies cannot fully understand and execute these rules at once. Please be fair.
LISTEN to your behaviorist
If you make the important decision to consult an animal behaviorist, LISTEN to what they have to say and STICK TO IT. A behaviorist is highly trained in recognizing and altering animal behavior. They know what they are talking about. If they suggest you do something, it is best to do it! They will have your dog's best interest in mind when they give you suggestions. At Lost Creek, we feel so strongly about getting people started on the right path with their dog that we offer FREE phone consultations! Give us a call at (308) 455-0235 to talk with our behaviorist today!
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. I truly do believe that if we continue to educate the general public, we will be able to improve dog's lives around the world!

How do you relax and experience tranquility under challenging circumstances? When the pace and tenor of life become difficult to bear, the exercises and meditations on this album will help you find the strength and composure to thrive.
The five tracks on Stress Relief, Vol. 1 include three shorter guided meditations, one longer meditation and a lengthy Yoga Nidra exercise, each designed to center you at specific times of the day.
Creating sounds that are as beautiful as they are effective, Dr. Shah gently narrates instructions over a background of ocean waves and the gentle sound of swaramandala, a classical Indian zither. Experience a scientifically proven, spiritually enriching pathway to serenity, health and effectiveness.
Supermarcos: I found the longer meditations the most effective, the unwinding after work and the restorative yoga nidra. The other three are good too but I find I need a little longer to truly relax. The voice of the Dr. giving the instruction is very pleasant and the background sound of the waves and the stringed instrument is very calming, perfect background for meditation.
Red Headed Stranger: This is a fascinating, very helpful aid for stress relief. Dr. Shah's interesting combination of cross-cultural knowledge is very effective. Anyone undergoing a lot of stress would seriously benefit from this.
Ms. Sue Pritchard: This is a great start for my quest of having more calm and contentment in my life. I find that taking some time every day to take a deep breath and meditate has done a tremendous difference in my life. I like the way this CD was put together. Looking forward to future releases!
Guided meditations and yoga nidra with Dr. Siddharth Ashvin Shah
Track 1 - Guided Meditation for Relaxation with Swaramandala 10:32
Yoga Nidra, which may be translated as "yogic sleep," is a guided visualization technique that induces full-body relaxation and deep meditative state of consciousness. Dr. Shah uses Yoga Nidra as an invitation for the participant to experience the aliveness of the entire body, opening the participant to deep and meaningful change.
S: I tend to worry- most of the time for little things and I got aware that worrying comes from not being in the present moment, having the mind wonder into the future. I found meditation really useful for being more at ease and I love how this CD addresses the issue of bringing the mind into the present moment. Very simple exercises but they are very effective. Thank you.
Lukas: I have a high stress job and the practice of meditation has really helped me to cope… more than that I have been able to be much more calm. Anyway, these meditations are excellent, easy to follow and I enter a state of relax with them after just 7 minutes to listening to them. An excellent effort with high production value. Thanks!
Guided meditations and yoga nidra for relaxation
Track 1 – Morning Resilience and Stress Prevention for EMS & First Responders 20:54
These audio tracks were designed with demanding occupations in mind. Journalists reporting from conflict zones or scenes of violence, emergency medical services, first responders, humanitarian workers, and medical professionals – all are vulnerable to vicarious trauma and caregiver exhaustion.
Dr. Shah prepared the words and progression with the intent to mitigate the psychosocial burden of doing taxing work – in other words, to prevent vicarious trauma and serious burnout. Morning Resilience used daily is appropriate for people whose work involves response to sudden crisis. Rescue Remedy can be an aid to recover from a disturbing experience. "Letting Go of the Work Day" endeavors to provide a clear transition to unwind, while another track recognizes the need for a quality nap once in a while. Finally, the guided Yoga Nidra can provide yet another way to have an energizing nap in a busy workplace.

Chefkimmie: I was very skeptical about trying this. I have been on every med. For insomnia and tried every relaxation technique, so I decided to give this a try. I normally average about 2 hours of sleep a night. Once I put this on, I didn't even get through the whole thing before falling asleep. The second night I did get farther, but I got an even more rested nights sleep and feel great! I went to bed last night at 8 pm and am only up early now due to how much rest I got. I really do recommend this to anyone. I am a believer and will definitely check out other titles by this author. Thank you Dr. Shah.
Anonymous: I am amazed and fascinated by this. I always wake up in the middle of the night tossing and turning. The problem has been solved. My 20 steps is a winding staircase onto the beach and my choice between sleep and relaxation is a hammock or a comfy chair with a book. WOW! Fascinated as to how this works. Thank you!!
Julie Torres: I have been doing various relaxation techniques including Yoga for many years and I have found this Yoga Nidra track one of the best I have ever heard. For this kind of work you need someone who not only has a pleasant voice but also someone who conveys the right "vibe." Every time I play it I go very deep.
Anonymous: The Yoga Nidra track is amazing. I don't think I have yet to listen to it all the way through. Really allows me to relax and get a wonderful night's sleep.
PM: What a great deal this is. Each relaxation technique is solid and stands on its own. I especially love the Yoga Nidra Relaxation and the Deep Sleep Journey. I was out half way through listening to them!
QDB: WOW! Yesterday impossible to fall asleep, although I was exhausted. At 1am I switch on my computer, open iTunes and search sleep. This album is among the first to pop out. Little did I know, within 15 minutes I fell asleep like a baby. Great purchase!

Jasmin D: It is very simple and it works. Before you know it you are not thinking random thoughts, and find yourself in a peaceful space.
Ms. Sue Pritchard: The guided meditations are excellent, accessing the power of the breathing and the present moment. The practice of being present and meditation has relaxed me much and I am having better sleep. I am becoming a fan of the series, very well done.
MM: My favorite track is the Sleeping in Stillness meditation and yoga nidra. The yoga nidra is shorter than the previous release so I find it easier to follow. I love the background sound with the nature sounds, perfect companion for the meditation.
Mind over Matter 7: The instructions are clear, the voice is very pleasant and the meditations are done very well with high production value. Very well done.
Mrs. D: I've tried several of these- this is the first that seems to actually work—some of the others are so vague they actually keep me awake. I'm almost worried this is too good.Harsh: I like the concept of this, to the point and it gets the job done.
Yoga nidra relaxation for weight loss with Dr. Siddharth Ashvin Shah
Track 1 - Meditation for Well Being 10:00

Undo negative cycles of thought and free yourself from anxiety, releasing your body's innate capability to balance itself.
Dr. Siddharth Ashvin Shah uses the best of traditional and modern thinking to craft simple, accessible and highly effective exercises that increase awareness, create stillness and support positive eating behaviors.
Weight Loss Through Mindful Eating is not a gimmick or a magic cure. It is a directed path away from extreme, unhealthy attitudes about food toward a calm, purposeful, healthy center.
Using guided techniques based in meditation, self-hypnosis and Yoga Nidra, Dr. Shah's gentle vocal tones ease you into relaxation as the sounds of tamboura and ocean waves play quietly in the background. Discover self-acceptance and renew your commitment to a healthy lifestyle with this positive, powerful tool.
DiscoveryNYC: This is one of my favorite hypnosis sessions related to getting food cravings under control. As you can image the subject matter can get quite emotional with me. And the bottom line is that after listening to this for a couple weeks I have had less cravings and episodes of impulsive eating and I feel much more relaxed about the whole thing. I am no expert on hypnosis—it apparently works by getting into a deep relaxed state and having an expert "speak" to your subconscious—all I know is that I feel a bit more relaxed without the anxiety I sometimes feel around falling into my overeating patterns. I also love the whole concept of mindful eating. Being really present in the process of eating. I am excited and grateful to continue this journey. And I think the price is a bargain considering all the content you get and the effectiveness-at least in my experience of the product.
Mind over Matter 7: I love the production value of this project, which is very high. The length for the meditations are perfect and the voice of the doctor guiding them is very soothing and pleasant—which is very important for this sort of product.
Paradise in Mars: I find this CD very useful. I feel that it addresses the core issue for my overeating problem, which is my lack of mindfulness. It has helped me tremendously to start having more awareness while eating. It has increased my sense of well being.
Lukas: I did not get to appreciate this until I really took time off to listen to the meditations every day. I don't know about weight loss but one thing is certain. I feel more calm and centered after meditating regularly every day and I do experience less cravings.
JT: I have seen similar products selling for more than $20! Thank god for iTunes! This is so much nicer to listen to and it costs $9.99.
E: What a gift this recording is. I especially tend to overeat when I am nervous or anxious and this practice definitely made me take a pause and witness myself more.
LovesMusic: I was blown away by this. I was searching for a guided Yoga Nidra practice and I found the use of the practice for weight loss intriguing. I can only say that this was done very well and I love to relax to the Yoga Nidra practice.
Native New Yorkr: I listen to this after work every day, and never get tired of the techniques, the music, the voice… I get the same centered relaxed feeling I get when I've had a massage. Well worth the investment, pays you back many times over…
RHS: These guided exercises are very effective, and such a better option than unhealthy diets and pills that are so common these days. Dr. Shah delivers a practical, balanced set of instructions that raise awareness and heal negative attitudes and associations with food. Before you sink money into some fad diet program, check this out.

S is for Stop: "ABCs of Death 2" immature with more misses than hits
ABCs of Death 2 (2014)
125 min., not rated (but equivalent to NC-17).
On paper, 2013's "The ABCs of Death" sounded like a horrific, disturbing nightmare come true for diehard horror aficionados, a chance to avert one's eyes in shock, fright, and disgust for two hours' worth as long as the alphabet. Disappointingly, the A-to-Z results were the hit-and-miss equivalent to slim pickings out of a student film festival, making slackers out of auspicious filmmakers (e.g. Ti West) who have done better and didn't seem to be trying. Now, there is fresh blood with its new list of 26 global directors (including Rodney Ascher of "Room 237," Vincenzo Natali of "Splice" and "Haunter," Navot Papushado of "Big Bad Wolves" and Jerome Sable of "Stage Fright," just to name a very few) who, from what they churn out here, do not work as well under a tight shooting schedule and budget. The wide-open possibilities of such a project would seem like a hole-in-one, with each of them picking a chosen word that begins with their assigned letter and revolves around death and then being given complete artistic freedom. Like its predecessor, "ABCs of Death 2" surely has its standouts, but the ratio of misses to hits is even greater. There are so many bad ones that the bearable, even occasionally impressive, shorts might be forgotten.
The playfully macabre opening credits sequence out of a ghastly childrens' pop-up book—school children jumproping and playing tug-of-war slice another in half—might be the high point, as what follows is a 125-minute mixed bag that tries tapping into every deathly situation. Kicking off the parade of repulsive shocks and sick yuks is E.L. Katz's ("Cheap Thrills") "A is for Amateur" about a hitman getting more than he bargains for in a pesky crawlspace. It's quickly paced, unpredictable, and reasonably entertaining for starters. To read the rest of the review, go to Diabolique Magazine.

The Moment I Knew: Sub Focus
It can be a track, a gig, a piece of art or absolutely anything. We're taking a look at the moments when artists realised they were going to dedicate their lives to music.
Read more Music features.
Following the release of his brand new track Love Divine, we catch up with English DJ and producer Nick Douwma aka Sub Focus. In his new production, he brings forward a 90s jungle and house inspired with a modern take. It's in those musical influences that we can trace our way back to the beginning of his career. Read on to find out all about some of the key moments that sparked Nick's love for music. This is Sub Focus' moment.
Keep up with Sub Focus' movements on his Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud | RA
Sub Focus
It's always interesting to dig through the musical memory of DJs and producers, especially when they've been making music for decades. Here are some of the crucial moments that Nick shared with us.
Not unlike many musicians and electronic producers, everything started off with synths. "When I was a kid of around 7 or 8 I can remember playing on a family friend's synth keyboard and being fascinated by it - just messing around for hours on headphones going through presets. I really had no idea I wanted to do anything with music at the time but it was probably the first indication I can remember that I loved synths and making sounds. Having amassed a big knowledge of vintage synths in the intervening years, I'd really love to know what that keyboard was that first captured my imagination but I will probably never know".
Later on he joined a rock band whilst being in school, but it was really dance music and 90s jungle in particular that blew him away. "I can remember a guy I knew putting on a jungle cassette on the tape player on a break at school, Incredible by General Levy and M-Beat came on and it just blew my mind. The sub bass, the speeded up breaks and rapping just sounded totally alien and new to me. This was around the same time I was starting to hear Prodigy - Jilted Generation and early Chemical Brothers fusing rock influences with dance music, which were like a gateway from guitar music to something I found way more exciting".
It wasn't too long after that that Nick started making his own music and used jungle as a source of inspiration when producing. "I started making basic jungle tracks on an old Acorn computer. The software on it was so basic and unsuited to the task. I had to arrange the breakbeats and melodies using classical notation, which as anyone who has dabbled in dance music production will know is completely nuts!"

We are students at James Madison University. This semester (Spring 13') we were challenged to write about a topic of our choice and incorporate media into the article, which will be the writing of our future. We were encouraged to think outside of the box and really put ourselves into our work, embodying creativity, personal interests, and diversity. We chose topics based on our personal preferences as well as what we thought might interest our audience, JMU students. Although all of our pieces are about different topics, they are all interconnected in specific genres. An important focus towards making this online magazine a success was our attention to audience appeal, especially our peers.
With collaboration, hard work, and independent research, iSynergy showcases our individual styles, while highlighting our efforts as a class. We have come a long way from the beginning of the semester. We started by creating an interactive map, writing about our experiences and sights and have read a series of articles to enhance our knowledge on types of writing. Now we have created this website for you, our readers, to appreciate. Our hope is to appeal to a wide audience with topics like sports, politics, food, travel, culture, music, and technology.
Writing with more than just words, we wrote with our hearts<:{)>
