The Who's Stage Setup – Pic of the Week
Rehearsals for the Who's upcoming tour are taking place in some undisclosed location, but a new photograph is giving us an indication of what the stage setup will look like. The band sent its fans a picture this morning of the group on stage via Twitter.
"Smuggled out of the rehearsal room........" was the text that accompanied the tweet. As has been the case with the Who's tours since 1989, surviving members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are being augmented by a large band. Even though the picture is a blurry, you can make out three keyboardists along the back row. Townshend's brother Simon, who has performed with the Who since 1996, is on second guitar.
The Who are also taking a page from the Pink Floyd handbook, with a giant round projection screen behind drummer Zak Starkey (which would dwarf even Keith Moon's old gong). Two smaller screens are on either side of the large screen.
The 'Quadrophenia + More' tour will begin Nov. 1 in Sunrise, Fla. and continue through Feb. 26 in Providence, R.I. As they did in 1996 and 1997, the group will perform its 1973 rock opera 'Quadrophenia' in its entirety and many other classics from their back catalog.

Marine debris: global and regional impacts
- Publisher: Anales del Instituto de la Patagonia
Subject: Marine debris | marine pollution | CEP | ATCM | Antarctica | UN
A synthesis on the Marine Debris problem is given upon de basis of the general knowledge on the matter as well as that obtained at Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, South Shetland, Antarctica. It is suggested to improve the database on marine debris through permanent scientific research as well as with monitoring activities. It is necessary to coordinate key groups to apply strategies to identify types, sources, amount, interactions and socio-economic aspects of this global and regional problem. It would be necessary to develop basic marine indices with the purpose to share a wide knowledge and information about the problem in a transparent way. The Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-Based Activities (GPA) has some objectives related to the marine debris problem that it is necessary to be applied to all sources, based on the information given by several organizations in a cooperative way. Measurements to prevent and reduce the impact of marine debris are mentioned, especially taken into account the special nature of the marine environment and vulnerable condition. International legal instruments are cited, including waste management, facilities to garbage reception at ports. Education and awareness is a key aspect to reduce and prevent future marine debris problems, taking into account the legal aspects and vulnerability of the Southern Ocean. It is concluded that the CEP would adopt measures to reduce the impact in the Antarctic marine ecosystem, such as requesting to IAATO to establish a Code of Conduct to minimize the problem; to support the CCAMLR initiative to maintain, improve and expand the monitoring activities in other CEMP Sites; recommend the development of educational strategies upon the basis of APEC, CCAMLR, FAO, GPA; and include an especial section of the Final Report of the ATCM Meetings in order to be sent to the consideration of the UN Secretary General as a contribution to discussions to be held at the annual United Nations Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea.

Jonathan Niese, stopper? After three straight losses, including an 11-3 bloodletting last night at Colorado, the Mets are depending on the raw lefthander to throw them a life preserver.
Really, after seven games they need saving?
Damn straight. This is a team that's not too far away from heading into an April freefall. They aren't hitting, and let's not even get into what they are doing with runners in scoring position.
Save two games, they're starting pitching has been poor. Their bullpen had been good, but it is to the point where soon it will be taxed.
Their 2-5 record is very much deserved. They are off to the slow start they wanted to avoid.
Seasons aren't won or lost after seven games, but trends can be recognized and what's happening now isn't good.
Manager Jerry Manuel said today John Maine will make his next start, but that's not a question he should be answering this early in the season. He also shouldn't be answering questions this soon about his job security.
There's a lot we can talk about tonight.

I just played some runs in the alpha and am surprised how rewarding it was to try to complete dungeons with every class. I played the crypt and with every class the max gold of my "kingdom" goes up by 5.
Somehow gathering gold in the beta which is the reward for beating the dungeon with a new class isn't that rewarding. For gold I'd rather beat a burning dungeon.
To complete a dungeon with every class just for completion's sake doesn't appeal to me (Although for other people it may be just fine).
Any ideas out there how to change this?

Brent crude rose to a four-month peak on Friday, with traders citing optimism about the global economic recovery, while Brent's premium over U.S. oil futures widened nearly $1 a barrel in heavy spread trading.
Brent's premium to West Texas Intermediate rose on expectations of swelling inventories at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for U.S. oil futures.
The spread had narrowed with the start up of the expanded Cushing-to-Texas Seaway pipeline, which had been expected to draw down Midwest inventories bulging from rising North American production.
But traders said stocks at Cushing could keep building because the pipeline may not be able to run at full capacity of 400,000 barrels per day until the second half of the year. This should keep pressure on U.S. crude prices.
"The realization that the Seaway pipeline reversal is an answer to almost none of the crude oil backlog issues in the Midcontinent is weighing on WTI prices outright and especially in relation to Brent crude oil prices," said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital LLC in New York. "It's as if they built a pipeline to nowhere. There was a bout of irrational pipeline exuberance."
Some market players said Friday's spread move may have been exacerbated by a hedge fund adjusting a major position to take this into account.
Brent rose for the third straight week and posted its biggest weekly gain in two months. U.S. crude rose for an eighth straight week, matching a similar winning streak in July-August 2004.
Brent crude futures rose to a high of $117.07 a barrel, its highest since September. Front-month Brent settled up $1.21 to $116.76 a barrel. For the week, Brent futures gained $3.48, or 3 percent.
U.S. light, sweet crude gained 28 cents to trade at $97.77, erasing earlier losses. For the week, U.S. crude futures gained $1.89, nearly 2 percent.
Trading volumes were heavy, with U.S. crude volumes nearly 60 percent over the 30-day moving average, while Brent volumes were more than 40 percent over that average.
During the U.S. trading day the discount of the front-month U.S. contract to Brent crude futures widened out to over $19 a barrel, the highest level since before the Seaway line reopened with expanded throughput capacity earlier this month. The spread between WTI and Brent settled at $18.99 a barrel, compared with $18.06 on Thursday.
Bullish Data
Positive U.S. employment numbers boosted crude prices in early U.S. trading, easing worries after separate data this week showed the world's top economy contracted in the fourth quarter.
U.S. employers added another 157,000 jobs to their payrolls last month, the Labor Department said. The U.S. unemployment rate edged up 0.1 percentage point to 7.9 percent and revisions showed employment gains in the prior two months were bigger than initially reported.
Global manufacturing activity also rebounded in January, its biggest monthly rise since August 2009 according to a business survey.
U.S. stocks climbed to a five-year high. The Dow Jones industrial average hit 14,000 for the first time since mid-October 2007 and the S&P hit its highest point since December 2007.
Meanwhile, a pair of surveys on China's factory output offered diverging views on the pace of the recovery of the world's second largest oil consumer.
The official purchasing managers' index (PMI) missed market expectations, while a private PMI survey released by HSBC showed growth among manufacturers quickening to a two-year high.
Worries about Brent supply due to conflict in the Middle East also pushed its price up. A suicide bomber killed a Turkish security guard at the U.S. embassy in Ankara on Friday.
The attack further increased tensions in the region after Israel bombed targets in Syria earlier in the week.

Like meditation, after play the world looks brighter, clearer and more delightful.
After all, it's no accident that after meditating for a few hours, we spontaneously start to play. Animal biologists tell us that if a young animal is under stress, it won't play. But as soon as it starts to feel safe... well, let the games begin! Most of us modern humans have gotten the saber-toothed tigers and woolly mastodons under control. We experience chronic stress not because our lives are in any real danger but because we believe our incessant, neurotic thoughts (and let's face it, it's a jungle in there). So the most direct path to safety is to turn down the volume of our minds and arrive with all our awareness in the present moment -- where it's safe.
The present moment is, in fact, the only doorway to the playground. You can't get there from not here. And when we do get here the playground doors burst wide open and unleash our spontaneous free play. In short, when we're present we become wise and everything becomes play.

Zistos Corporation announces the Portable Network Surveillance Camera (PNSC) system, which offers a built-in radiological alarm sensor as an option. The PNSC is designed to provide a turn-key solution for field surveillance and radiological monitoring applications, where no power or pre-existing networks are available. This self-contained, self-powered system allows for dynamic deployment of single or multiple video surveillance cameras in the field.
The PNSC is rugged and completely weatherproof. It consists of a pole-mounted day/night camera with a vari-focal lens (allowing adjustment of the lens magnification), mounted to the carrying case. It's available with either covert IR or white light illumination. Video information is transmitted as IP data using a wireless 802.11 transmitter to any pc or laptop equipped with a wireless 802.11 interface.
Up to six PNSC cameras can be viewed on a single computer using the standard configuration (expandable with additional hardware). Motion alarms can be programmed into the system to indicate changes to select areas of the video image. An optional built-in Gamma alarm sensor can annunciate elevated radiological levels along with the video.
System applications include:
construction site surveillance, school sporting event security, hostage barricades, VIP and mobile asset security, special event security, and many others. The PNSC is ideal for law enforcement, disaster management and homeland security applications.

Sometimes, I just don't get Jerry Manuel. For instance, when talking about Sean Green, when the topic was his submarine delivery, he said he hopes it doesn't reduce him to being a specialist.
Isn't that the whole essence of putting together a bullpen, finding a defined role for each guy? Obviously, there's room for adjustment depending on the game situation, but don't the terms long-man, closer, eighth-inning set-up man and "left-hander out of the bullpen,'' all denote specialists?
When Manuel brings in Pedro Feliciano to face Adrian Gonzalez instead of a right-hander isn't he using a specialist? Hell, each bullpen decision is about match-ups and subsequently about specialization.
As far as being a specialist, Manuel will determine that by how he uses Green. As a submariner, Green should be effective against both right-handed and left-handed, that is, if his ball in down, moving and on the corners. If Manuel doesn't want to pigeon-hole Green's job – which on the surface would seem to be to come in and get the ground ball, especially against right-handed hitters – then he doesn't have to.
It is Manuel's job in constructing the bullpen to slot pitchers to different game situations. To say he doesn't want Green to be a specialist is contrary to what should be going on.
Personally, I don't have a problem with specialists as long as they do their job. In the basic sense every reliever should be a specialist in that their role should simply be to get hitters out, which has been a widespread problem of the bullpen the last three years.

I don't think of Elves as being too fond of dragons (whether that's actually rooted in any known mythology or lore, I have no idea), and the claymores don't look very elvish or assassin-like to me. Maybe a title of "elite dragon warriors" or something like that would have suited them better.
Even with those quibbles though, they are super cool-looking figs. The all-black color scheme really is intimidating!

Griner in full control in front of big crowd
They came to the AT&T Center on Tuesday to see the biggest phenom to take the WNBA by storm.
Danny Green and Boris Diaw — fresh off leading the Spurs within a victory of earning their fifth NBA championship — were among the 9,007 in attendance.
And Brittney Griner didn't disappoint.
The 6-foot-8 former Baylor standout posted 26 points, seven rebounds and five blocks in only 271/2 minutes as the Phoenix Mercury held off the Silver Stars 83-77.
"Had a lot of people out there tonight, including a lot of Baylor fans, and that meant a lot," Griner said. "When you play in front of friends and family, especially with my mom being here tonight, since she does not make a lot of my games, I had to put a show on for her."
It took every ounce of effort from Griner to help Phoenix (5-4) prevail. She scored 14 points in the fourth quarter as the Mercury closed the game with a 7-3 run to fend off the Silver Stars (3-6), who played without Becky Hammon (finger), Sophia Young (knee) and Jayne Appel (concussion).
The Silver Stars pulled within 76-74 when DeLisha Milton-Jones connected on two free throws with 1:53 remaining, but they got no closer the rest of the way.
"At the end of the day, I'm really proud of how we fought," said Silver Stars guard Danielle Robinson, who tallied 15 points, 10 assists and six rebounds. "We didn't hit shots we usually hit."
Missed shots — many of them open looks — and foul trouble proved costly for the Silver Stars. They led 26-18 after the first quarter but missed their first nine attempts in the second stanza, getting outscored 25-7 in the period and taking a 10-point deficit into halftime.
The Silver Stars made 3 of 21 shots in the second quarter (14.3 percent) and were held to single-digit scoring in a period for the third time in the past four games.
"We just need to keep our focus," said center Danielle Adams, who had 15 points. "I thought we lost our focus there for a minute. We just need to keep our focus for a whole 40 minutes and just help each other out."
The Silver Stars, who had all five starters score in double figures — Shameka Christon added 15, Jia Perkins 11 and Milton-Jones 10 — battled back from their woeful second quarter, outscoring Phoenix 23-10 in the third to lead 56-53 heading into the fourth.
But the Mercury, with Griner leading the way, made 12 of 13 free throws in the fourth to pull away. They made 22 of 26 overall. Diana Taurasi added 18 points, nine rebounds and eight assists for Phoenix, and DeWanna Bonner contributed 14 points.
The Silver Stars attempted only nine foul shots, making eight.
"Probably when you look at all the factors, they were able to distance us at the foul line," Silver Stars coach Dan Hughes said. "That's probably a pretty big statistic, because we were very efficient with the ball. We didn't shoot it well; they didn't shoot real well. But their ability to go to the foul line and us in foul trouble played a big part."

Boardman Bikes unveiled 25 models across road, urban, cross and mountain bike platforms that will make up the Performance Series range for the next two years. The bikes range from the £429.99 Hybrid Comp to the £1,799.99 Shimano Ultegra 11-speed equipped Boardman Road Pro Carbon SLR road bike with integrated cables.
Much of the range is cycle to work scheme-friendly and comes in under the £1,000 mark. This includes the Road Team Carbon, a full carbon road bike for £999.99, and the well-specced £999.99 Team FS 650B mountain bike with a RockShox Sektor fork, Monarch rear shock, SRAM X7 gearing and Avid Elixir 1 brakes.
The Team FS 650B' bigger brother, the MTB Pro FS 650b, boasts even better specs for its £1,599.99 price tag, including a X9 triple-butted frame, kitted with a RockShox Revelation RL 130mm travel fork, Monarch RT 130mm travel rear shock and Avid Elixir 7 hydraulic brakes.
Aficionados of 29ers need not worry either: there are two bikes with the larger wheel size in the range too, including the £999.99 MTB Pro 29er. Cyclo-crossers also have two models to choose from the CX Comp (£599.99) and CX Team (£899.99).
The £999.99 Boardman MTB Pro 29er: Shimano Deore braking and shifting, Mavic XM319 wheels
All change in the Boardman bike range
Boardman bikes thrive on their rep for high specs at a keen price – just look at the Pro FS 650b boasting SRAM X9 shifting, Elixir 7 hydraulic discs, thru-axle hubs and Mavic XM319 wheels for £1,599.99. But Andy Smallwood, Boardman's Operations Director was at pains to stress many frames have been completely redesigned.
Some aspects of the range have received a lot of treatment. Others – cross bikes for example - not so much.
Mountain bikes appear to be where the big redevelopment focus lay. The introduction of 29ers must surely have been the biggest project – and one that Chris Boardman admitted started when he went for a ride with top British mountain biker Kenta Gallagher a couple of years back. After one ride he recognised the need to get in on the action.
"[The mountain bikes have been] completely overhauled for 2014 – everything's changed here," said Smallwood.
"All our MTBs have new geometry. They're longer in the top tube, shorter in the stem, have wider bars and slacker head angles. The chain stays are shorter too, so it's much more contemporary design."
Polished aluminium welds around the seat post cluster
The aluminium alloy frames have been given a smooth weld treatment around the seat post cluster and head tube, though the process – which is finished by hand and therefore pricey – didn't extend to the bottom bracket area. It's a shame, because the extra finishing touch does look good. The treatment extends to the cross and hybrid and aluminium road frames too.
On the Performance Series' road models, change is more subtle. Smallwood said the Team Carbon and Pro Carbon was a "brand new frame platform," but the biggest change over previous models appears to have been to slacken the geometry slightly - hardly groundbreaking. Interestingly, however, the fork's had mudguard eyelets drilled in, which should boost the bikes' appeal as a do-it-all road platform.
The CX Comp is an entry level 'cross bike
Other than the addition of a new, cheaper cyclocross model – the CX Comp, which Smallwood says will open up the versatility of cross bikes to a broader market – nothing much has changed here. The frame on the CX Team is 7005 triple-butted alloy and has similar component specs to the previous model.
Smallwood said the cyclocross bikes have shown the most vigorous sales growth, suggesting the answer to why few changes have been made was because it was already selling just fine.
Check out BikeRadar'sgallery from the launch for more details of the models and pricing.
The Boardman Performance Series range is exclusively for sale at Halfords in the UK.
Boardman's Elite Series bikes will be launched on 7 November.

It might seem like an odd time for Goderich wrester Jeff Black to put his
career on the line, but that is exactly what he is doing this weekend.
When Black enters the ring at the MacKay Centre in Goderich (a small, southwestern Ontario town on Lake Huron) on Nov. 20,
he will be facing the toughest challenge of his one-year wrestling career.
Goderich's favourite grappler will be facing arch nemesis Eddie Osbourne
in a Loser Leaves Town match.
Black said the defeated wrestler will basically have to retire from the
Professional Wrestling Association (PWA), and never wrestle in Goderich
"This is going to be a good match, because of the history between Eddie
and myself," explained Black, adding that they really don't like each other. "This is revenge time," Black said. "It's going to be heavy-hitting, and it's not going to be pretty."
He said wrestling in Goderich, surround by his vocal fans, will give him an edge.
He also stressed there is nothing fake about this rivalry, or the wrestling.
"Wrestling is not fake. It is the most real thing I have ever done in my
life," he said. "The only way you can prove it to someone is to have
them step in the ring... or some out to the show on Nov. 20."
Black has received numerous injuries while wrestling, including getting
"busted open," and breaking three fingers.
"When I'm out there, I hit for real," he said. "The reason we can get
body slammed and supplexed and take it is because we've built up a
tolerance for it.
Black likened it to a marathon runner, who must train heavily before
they can withstand the rigors of a race.
During his first training session to be a wrestler, Black received
whiplash and could barely walk for days.
But he got back into that training ring and eventually made his debut on
Sept. 11, 2004. Since then, Black has participated in 25 wrestling matches.
"For someone in their first year of wrestling, that is pretty amazing,"
Black said. "For me to get that much (exposure) is very lucky and I am
grateful for all the support I've had getting booked on shows."
Black said there are not a lot of wrestling opportunities in Ontario,
which is the most challenging part of his sport.
His wrestling goal is to build up an excellent reputation in Ontario,
among the fans and his peers.
"Respect is a big thing in wrestling," he said.
Black has set his goals even higher than Ontario though.
"The ultimate goal is getting that contract with the WWE (World
Wrestling Entertainment), but you can't kid yourself," he said. "That's
He grew up watching the WWF -- now the WWE -- and can remember the exact
moment he realized wrestling was something he was meant to do.
"It was the first match I watched in the mid-'80s. The Hart Foundation
versus the British Bulldogs, when the Hart Foundation won the (tag team)
title," he said. "I don't know why it stuck with me."
Black said he needs to train more and get into better shape if he hopes
to take that next step and become a household name like Bret "The
Hitman" Hart or Davey Boy Smith.
"You have to have a look to get anywhere in wrestling," he said.
Wrestling is not all fun and games and realizing dreams. Black balances
his busy wrestling schedule on weekends with a full-time job during the
week. And sometimes it can get to him.
"You have to sacrifice your weekends, when your friends are going out
and you have to wrestle in some small town in front of 20 people," he
said. "I have a family in Goderich that, when I'm driving down the 401
by myself, I miss a lot.
"But once (wrestling) gets into your blood, you can't get it out."
Coming home to wrestle also helps buoy Black's spirits.
"There are no other fans like the fans in Goderich. They have a passion
for it and it's very much appreciated," he said. "I've been to shows
with 300 people and you basically have to slap them across the face to
get a reaction. Goderich is a different story. Those kids are rabid.
"I love wrestling in Goderich -- nothing can compare to it. It's the
greatest feeling in the world."
The Professional Wrestling Association (PWA) show at the MacKay Centre, starts at 1:30 p.m. Here are the rest of the matches:
Black said anyone who misses this show will be disappointed.
"This show is going to be the best show we've ever had," he said. "We're learning every time out and, for our survival, we have to give the best show we can and top ourselves each time to make sure the fans are not disappointed."
Note: Portions of this story originally appeared in the Goderich Signal-Star on Wednesday, November 9, 2005.

Yes, I know (not to be confused with "no") what you mean. Even if you knew (not to be confused with "new") all of the rules, you would find that there are many exceptions to the rules. There have been many attempts to simplify spelling over the years. For example, "logue" was changed to "log", "island" was changed to "iland", "traffic" was changed to "trafic", as well as many more changes were introduced. Few of these changes were ever fully embraced by the population. You will just have to learn the spellings and pronunciations the same as a native-speaker does.

Last month we explained how we corrected a goof. If you haven't read the story, someone along the order chain assumed that all '39 Chevrolets rode on the same front suspensions. They don't, and as luck would have it the wrong crossmember showed up at Thun Field Rod & Custom. It turned out a blessing in disguise, for Marshall Woolery took what would've amounted to a repeat of the installation instructions and transformed it into an exercise in creative problem solving. He also revealed a few solid measuring and installation techniques along the way.
Though the rear suspension was indeed correct for the car and installed per the instructions, we still weren't deprived of the opportunity to exercise our problem-solving skills. The rear wheels sat too far forward in the wheel openings. Naturally we rushed to blame the kit, but a review of the photos of the car before we touched it revealed that Total Cost Involved had actually moved the wheels back by a bit.
We initially wondered why the company didn't go all the way but concluded that Total Cost Involved may have been shrewd not to do so. I mean we're assuming that our car wasn't a total freak. Remember, manufacturing tolerances then weren't as tight as they are now and axle locations were probably all over the board. In the kit's case a little bit probably works best for the majority of installations. Ours just needed a little more.
The solution was indeed simple, but it didn't go unquestioned. In fact after seeing what we put ourselves through, one person asked why we didn't just modify the stock suspension to suit our needs. It's a relevant question to ask about like-for-like conversions as these, but we had our reasons to switch rather than fight.
While the parallel leaf rear suspension Chevrolet employed on these cars largely resembles the designs on later cars, it isn't without its peculiarities. For starters, their axles mount differently.
Most axles align directly over their spring's center bolts. Not so with the torque-tube era Chevrolets. Their axles mount just behind the center bolts, a consequence of a hinge that prevents the axle and spring from binding. A conventional axle centered on those bolts will sit too far forward. Naturally, an axle's mounting pads can be re-drilled to relocate the axle, but that doesn't address the glaring shortcoming for our purposes: stance.
These cars stood proud, a consequence of road conditions when FDR was in office. A pair of lowering blocks would correct the stance but that's not without consequences either. By making the driveshaft control the rear axle's torque reaction, Chevrolet could—and did—use narrower rear springs. The springs may prevent an open-driveline axle from deflecting under stock power, but modern power may be another story. Spacing the axle farther from the spring centerline with blocks only increases the leverage and as a consequence the deflection issue. That's a lot to ask of a 70-plus-year-old spring. They fatigue over time, you know.
Custom-height springs solve the stance, bolt location, and age issues. And while they may control axle deflection during acceleration there remains one very big issue: cost. One-off springs aren't cheap. In fact, springs alone are likely to cost more than the entire Total Cost Involved kit, an assembly that also provides modern tubular dampers, replaceable bushings, and all-new hardware. Despite having to center the wheels in the openings by a fraction of an inch we were still days and dollars ahead by using the kit rather than having springs made to fit the stock brackets.
The kit revealed another benefit: time. Despite yik-yakking, futzing about with camera gear, installation, removal, modification, and installation a second time, the car rolled out of the shop—or at least it could have—by day's end.
Every parallel leaf kit installation I've witnessed has surprised me in one way or another. This one did too, only it was a pleasant surprise: this kit not just lowers the car (not all kits follow through on that promise), it lowers the car to the point that the wheel radius matches the fender radius. Sure, we needed to reposition the axle to center the wheels in their houses but that proved pretty straightforward—certainly a lot more straightforward than trying to get the right stance with expensive custom springs.

The Bengals took a look at three kickers Thursday while Mike Nugent recovers from a calf injury and they chose one of them to serve as a replacement until Nugent is ready to get back to work.
The team announced that Josh Brown beat out Billy Cundiff and Neil Rackers for the job. Brown was cut by the Jets at the end of August after he lost a summer battle with Nick Folk. He signed with them after losing his job in St. Louis when Greg Zuerlein was drafted in April. He spent four years with the Rams after breaking in with the Seahawks as a seventh-round pick in 2003.
Brown made 21-of-28 field goals last season and hit three of the four he tried for the Jets during preseason.
Geoff Hobson of the Bengals website reports that Nugent's injury isn't thought to be serious, but it "may take a week to get out the tweak." Brown will be in town until that happens.

So here are my weapon elements that I give to EVERY character
Fire Bolt Flash Slay
Air Brave Multi Might
Here are the skills I use as well
Firepower Almighty *blank*
As you can tell, I'm an extremely offensive glass-cannon player. Do you have any suggestions? Such as what should I put for that blank skill?
Also, I didn't equip Firepower on everyone, but only those that shoot arrows/bullets/hadouken out of their weapons. Question: would the attacks that throw the weapon benefit from Firepower as well?

Star Trek Enterprise Spatula
Culinary exploration
- Flip pancakes like Kirk would
- BPA-free silicone with metal handle
- Looks just like the Enterprise!
While we can't hop on a ship and explore the galaxy with Kirk, Spock, and friends, we do a good amount of exploration in our kitchens. In the warm months, our CSA drops off a box of mystery vegetation every week. What do you do with a kohlrabi the size of a basketball? How many ways can you prepare cauliflower? What does one do with garlic scapes or squash blossoms? These are questions that excite us as culinary explorers.
And of course, no kitchen is complete without at least a couple spatulas, or as we sometimes call them, spatuhoozits. We're flipping pancakes or tater tots or burgers pretty much on a weekly basis, so why not have a bit of fun with it? The Star Trek USS Enterprise Spatula looks like a (slightly extended) version of our favorite starship. It's made of BPA-free silicone with a sturdy metal handle and silicone grip.
Product Specifications
- Boldly flip food like no one has flipped before
- Spatula looks just like the USS Enterprise
- Officially licensed Star Trek collectible
- Materials: Zinc alloy metal & BPA-free silicone
- Care: Hand wash
- Dimensions: Saucer section is 6" in diameter

Punk's Princesses Inspire Our Fashion Picks
Some say punk is dead, but given the subculture's enduring contributions to high fashion, we'd have to argue otherwise. The anti-establishment/DIY attitude that was once spearheaded by the Sex Pistols and Vivienne Westwood can still be seen on the runways today, and as the subject of this year's Costume Institute exhibition--Chaos to Couture--at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 9th, the influence of punk has never been more prevalent. As we consider how today's designers, including Anna Sui and Rodarte's Kate and Laura Mulleavy, have appropriated this ripped-and-torn look for S/S 13, we couldn't think of a more fitting subject for today's Currently Channeling.
The Inspiration
Punk icons such as Sid Vicious and Joey Ramone may have made all the noise back in the day, but it was the subculture's leading ladies that were the forces to be reckoned with. From Debbie Harry's subversively sexy outfits and peroxide blonde locks to Siouxsie Sioux's fetish-influenced sensibilities and extreme cat-eye makeup, the women of punk paved the way for rebellious youth. Their sartorial influences are still present today, as evidenced by current punk princess Agyness Deyn, who embraces the aesthetic in a modern way. You can even see hints of Harry and Sioux on the spring runways, especially in Rodarte's Black Leather Grommeted and Laced Up Pants (price upon request) and Anna Sui's Punk Rock Mesh Dress ($323, 212.941.8406) and Fishnet Top ($103, 212.941.8406). With these references fresh in our minds, we culled a selection of fashionable pieces that are perfect for helping you put a little punk in your everyday look.
OPI Nail Lacquer ($9) in Black Shatter
If OPI's Black Shatter Nail Lacquer was available back in the '70s, we have a feeling it would have been a go-to for our punk princesses. Here's how it works: first apply a base coat of your favourite nail colour, then, when completely dry, add a single coat of the Shatter polish, and voila! The cracked effect will give you instant cool-girl cred.
Obesity and Speed Red X Crew Neck Tee ($48)
Nobody looked better in a graphic tee than Debbie Harry, so this next pick is our ode to the stylish singer. Pair this soft crewneck with a black denim jacket or tuck it into a leather mini.
Friends & Associates Ally Pleated Wrap Skirt ($105)
Though today's muses often took style cues from the boys, there was an element of femininity to their looks as well. We imagine they would toughen up this pleated mini skirt from Friends & Associates with a ripped tee and leather boots.
Eddie Borgo Lotus Ionized Cone Bracelet ($375)
For a subtle nod at today's trend, pick up Eddie Borgo's Lotus Ionized Cone Bracelet. Equal parts tough and glam, the iridescent bauble will be a luxe addition to an armful of statement bangles.
Pixie Market Raider Pointed Loafers ($116)
If combat boots and Chuck Taylors are out of the question, try these menswear-inspired loafers instead. Cutout details and patent leather lend an of-the-moment rock-chic vibe, while a pointed toe keeps them feeling feminine.
Each X Other Printed Leather Biker Jacket ($1632)
This leather biker jacket offers the perfect punk-inspired union of fashion and art with its paint-effect print created by London-based artist Robert Montgomery. We'd throw it over an evening dress for a cool contrast.
Zara Coloured Sequined Evening Bag ($90)
In keeping with the do-it-yourself spirit of punk, this clutch by Zara was a no-brainer. Mimicking tiny grommets, yellow, black, and white sequins lend the bag its visually interesting, industrial look.
Paige Verdugo Ultra Skinny Jeans ($199) in Black Destructed
No punk princess wardrobe would be complete without some ripped denim, which is why we've included Paige's black distressed Verdugo Ultra Skinny Jeans. Take a page out of Deyn's playbook and wear them with a flannel shirt and creepers.

Rodgers confirms Reina loan move
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that goalkeeper Jose Reina is set to join Napoli on loan.
The Italian club, now managed by former Reds boss Rafael Benitez, made an approach for the Spain international last week.
Liverpool can afford to let the 30-year-old move having signed Belgium keeper Simon Mignolet from Sunderland earlier this summer.
Rodgers, speaking at a press conference on the club's pre-season tour of Thailand, said: "It was obviously a difficult decision.
"From last season, really, as a manager I was led to believe that we were going to get an offer for Pepe that would probably see him leave the club.
"On the football side, we have to protect the team, and at that stage we started our search for another goalkeeper.
"That found us Simon Mignolet, who's top class - one of the top young European goalkeepers.
"As events transpired, that move (for Reina) didn't happen and it left us with two very good goalkeepers. Both would have been fighting for the number one position.
"Then obviously an opportunity arose for Pepe and it was one we felt as a football club was best for him to take.
"As a senior goalkeeper, he needs to be playing. It's a very important year for him with the World Cup next year.
"It wouldn't have served any purpose, both for the club and him personally, if he'd been the one missing out.
"It's decided he will go to Napoli and we've got two very good goalkeepers still at the football club.
"We'll review it after the loan finishes."
Reina, who joined Liverpool in 2005, had also been linked this summer with a move to Barcelona, where he came through the youth ranks.

Our very own snack-food powerhouse, Tastykake, announced today that it might merge with another company or sell itself, thanks to miserable finances.
It's a shock to the system, isn't it? Like the shock you'd get from washing down a pack of Peanut Butter Kandy Kakes with a bottle of Jolt?
The company 's move to the Navy Yard was supposed to bolster Tasty's bottom line by improving production efficiency. But CEO Charlie Pizzi says that commodity costs - you know, flour and eggs and such - are higher. Plus the company's biggest buyer is in Chapter 11 and not purchasing as many krimpets, cakes and pies as it used to.
Folks I know say sales are off because Tastykakes just aren't as good as they used to be. I haven't recently purchased anything other than Krimpets (do NOT get between me and that butterscotch icing...), so I'm dying to hear your thoughts about Philly's home-grown junk-food company.
What do you think of Tastykakes these days? The ingredients, the taste, the packaging, the overall quality - anything at all having to do with the quintessential Philly experience of inhaling a locally baked combination of sugar and fatty goodness?
From a customer's point of view, what do you think Tastykake can do to save itself?
How can we Save Our Snacks?

Continuing the fusion of TV and internet-based media, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that Spotify has inked a deal with Samsung that will bring its streaming music service to living rooms by way of Samsung's Smart TVs. The deal allows owners of select Samsung home theater equipment to access Spotify, but there is a catch: the company will be offering its pay-to-play service only.
Spotify's free service is backed by advertising dollars, which have been flowing slower of-late, and with a younger generation not really accustomed to paying for its music, persuading users to fork over monthly fees can be a difficult task.
Thus, the deal came about through a fortuitous convergence of interests, as Samsung had been looking to add entertainment options to its TV's, and Spotify had been looking for bolster sales of its paid streaming service.
Samsung has already released Spotify-equipped televisions across a swath of Europe that includes France, Germany, and the U.K., no word yet on when, or if, the companies will release the service globally.
For Spotify, this foray into smart televisions is a first, but not an exclusive, as the company retains the ability to shop its services to other home-media outfits.
The agreement represents yet another expansion opportunity for a company that has been growing exponentially of-late. Last year, its revenue jumped up to $243 million, from $95 million the previous year, and its subscription service netted $203 million in sales, up from $67 million in 2010.
Whether or not streaming music will be a selling point for Samsung remains to be seen, but we are certainly seeing a great deal of internet-based media integrating its way into our home-theaters – the more the merrier.

Cities and towns to seek sweeping gun reforms
Connecticut will have the toughest gun laws in the country if the Legislature adopts a proposal unveiled Wednesday by an organization representing the overwhelming majority of the state's towns and cities.
The proposal from the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities would set up a Gun Offender Registry for any individuals convicted of a gun crime, require a permit to purchase either ammunition or a rifle, mandate the registration of all firearms and impose rules that would bar residents with a history of mental illness from obtaining a gun permit.
The plan also would limit firearm magazine capacity, prohibit the purchase of more than one firearm in a 30-day period and outlaw the possession of body armor by all but law enforcement and military personnel.
"We will be releasing tomorrow one of the most comprehensive list of initiatives seen so far in Connecticut," CCM President James Finley Jr. said Tuesday.
Separately, legislative leaders Tuesday gave a new task force a late-February deadline for recommendations strengthening gun control, improving school safety and addressing mental health issues exposed by the Newtown school massacre.
During a news conference Tuesday in the Capitol complex, Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate announced the task force and said that the eventual legislation will also consider the findings of a similar panel named by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy that has a mid-March deadline.
The 13-point CCM proposal, obtained by Hearst Connecticut Newspapers on Tuesday, is to be unveiled at a news conference Wednesday. The group represents 151 out of 169 municipalities in Connecticut and advocates on their behalf with state and federal officials.
The organization's legislative committee overwhelming endorsed the proposal during a meeting Tuesday that was attended by more than 40 mayors and first selectmen from throughout Connecticut.
Among the recommendations are an outright ban on assault rifles -- using California's strict definition of the weapons -- and a ban on high-capacity magazines.
"These weapons serve no purpose except to take human lives," said Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch, who attended the meeting Tuesday and voted on the proposal. "We've seen the carnage they create in Aurora and in Newtown. We need to take action now. We can't wait for the next time."
Adam Lanza, a mentally troubled 20-year-old, shot his mother to death on the morning of Dec. 14, took her legally acquired weapons to Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School, blasted his way through the front door and murdered 20 first graders and six adults with an assault-style weapon.
Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton said the gun-reform package was "one of the most hotly debated" issues before CCM's legislative committee in a long time. While some members felt the proposals may be "overreaching," most believed something needed to be done, he said.
"Some of these concepts may prove unworkable as it goes through the legislative process, but we certainly need to update our gun laws," Boughton said.
Bethel First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker, who is also a member of the committee, said only about four or five members voted against the proposed set of recommendations.
One of the more controversial proposals, he said, is an attempt to circumvent federal commerce law, which restricts prohibitions on Internet sales, by making it illegal in Connecticut to "use the rights-ofway (public roads) for the transportation of ammunition." Knickerbocker said that while some committee members admitted the proposal could potentially be thrown out by a court if adopted into law, other members noted that "there has to be a way to stop people from buying 10,000 rounds of ammunition on the Internet." Malloy said he expects a concluding report on the massacre by mid-March "at the latest" and that it may become as important a historical document as the report following the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh Jr. in 1932.
He says he has broken off regular briefings from State Police because he's worried about possibly tainting the investigation.

Post subject: Help figuring out Sherman Island Access wind conditions
I know this has been touched upon somewhat here lately, but I need guidance before I make the long drive to Sherman Island.
Namely, right now it is 23 mph at marker 10 (upwind of the access, where I would sail); but only 14mph at Marker 14, (at the sign downwind of where I would sail).
Obviously the sign and powerlines, will not have any wind. But, the question is "what is the wind at the access???. Before the kiters destroyed it; Marker 12 would answer this question; but it is gone, and probably for some time.
Does anybody have first hand information; that we can usually use the Marker 10 information as our reference point for the access. Especially when Marker 14 is reading that it is not sailable. There has been at least 7 days this month, where I did not make the trip to Sherman when Marker 10 was sailable; but Marker 14 was not. Anybody who was out at the access during this time and could provide actual on scene information about this would be most helpful for all of us wondering what to do during these frequent situations. Thanks

It has been made quite clear to us that Marker 12 isn't coming back, unless the kiters decide they want it. And using the numbers from Marker 10 is a crapshoot at best. May I suggest that we use the Onsite Report feature? It is possible to use it for Marker 12 but it would be a PITA. How about we use the Onsite Report for Marker 10 and, under # of people out, put 100+ to identify Access/County Park? A ridiculous work-around, of course, but if enough sailors buy in we could help each other out. Any other ideas?

A little stale but here is how it was this morning:
Marker 14 - Sucked
Marker 12 - A little better than 14
Marker 10 - Sweet Jesus, sailing nectar.

For me it certainly was worth the drive. From 3 - 6, there was lots of wind to be had at the Access, especially when I look what was happening around the rest of the Bay Area.

I think M10 is fairly accurate for the access. I've not been on a day when M10 was going off and the access wasn't windy.

I wish the onsite report feature was updated to the way the rest of the world updates their status but my request fell on deaf ears. Their report interface is horribly outdated, clumsy to use, and worthless from a mobile device.
I follow RVWA on Facebook and sometimes we get a good onsite report from them or other windsurfing friends.

It seems that you have a pretty good drive to get to SI, and I understand why you want the best info possible. This has been a lousy summer here so far and sometimes the wind makes it up river, sometimes not. I have seen Marker 10 readings in the low 20's and people are slogging at the Access. (Maybe they're masochists on 4.2's?) I always look at Travis AFB on the iwindsurf map. If it is windy and westerly, it's a good indication, but certainly no guarantee. If it is more northerly, or just plain light, I would be concerned. I might try Rigatoni's RVWA Facebook idea. The more people who do it, the better it should work.

You will often see NW winds at 10 when it is SW at 14. (right now for instance)
When this happens relying on 10 is less predictable, though not necessarily bad.
When there is W instead of NW at 10 then the Access is Usually more reliable.
In general if 10 is working then at least the County Park is working, even though the Access may be lighter.
Right at the powerline (not Powerlines) at the Access there is sometimes a reduced wind pattern compared to 10 or in front of the Park. When this happens just launch 50 yards farther W and sail up a bit.

I've heard a lot about Dogfishheads "Randall the Enamel Animal". http://www.dogfish.com/company/tangents/randall-the-enamel-animal.htm
I've seen lots of implementations, but they all go around the water filter idea. The problems I see with that are many. Its plastic (plastic is bad), it takes too many hops to fill it (works fine if your hooking it up to a full size keg, but its sort of a waste for a 5 gallon keg), and its not refrigerated.
The solution? The Hopinator!
A stainless steel Biopharmaceutical filter housing. A couple of extra bits, some 40 mesh stainless screen, and....
Each end on the filter is a 1.5" tri clover fitting, the device opens to fill with hops via a 3" tri clover fitting. The 2 little fittings out the side are bleeder/sample valves. Here you can see where I put some tri clover to tube fittings on to use it inline for beer. I can also remove those ends, and use as a hop back inline between the kettle and the therminator since I use tri clover fittings for sanitary transfer already.
Its about 8 inches long. It takes about 1/2 oz of whole leaf hops to fill it up, it is small enough to bring around, it fits in an ice chest with the keg, so it stays cold, which keeps the beer from foaming as much as a regular randall does. And its easy to sanitize since its stainless.
Search on ebay and you can find them periodically using the search term "stainless filter". They make them with tube fittings also, but since I'm tri clover already, thats the ends I wanted.
