Posts Tagged 'Blackened Skull'
A little invention
I went with my gut on this one. I've enjoyed blogging this time round so much that I went and took up the option to own my domain name with the purpose of installing and hosting WordPress. I got a good deal on a three-year term, I have a graphic designer working on a logo design etc and am looking forward to developing my knowledge further of CSS.
So what does that mean to this blog? I had intended to transfer these very posts over to the new self-hosted site but I have now decided to leave this version of Blackened Skull as is. IF things don't work out at the new site then I can return here.
The new Blackened Skull will have a much better vision of what I want; a great theme that I've had input into, an artistic theme, fuller and better worked post ideas. Once I'm happy to announce the new site URL, I'll post a further post here with the link.
Thanks for your support. Please keep reading!
Am bored of your game
Normal folk tend to consider writing a blog just as their habit…er…maybe I mean hobby begins to require a ritualistic routine. Said blog then becomes a labour-of-love and then we get into the whole what came first loop routine. Yada yada yada.
Blackened Skull has the opposite origin. I'm in a state of flux where I've just taken some time away from Twitter and no serious gaming is currently going on. So yes I've started a blog at a low ebb deliberately, it would seem.
Like many others, my previous blogs have ridden on the crest of a wave. That crest being motivation from a favourable gaming experience or whatnot. But crests have to come crashing down if they are to keep moving forward. Sustaining interest when there is no crest to ride has been very hard on the longevity of all the blogs I've produced.
My blog experience shouldn't have to be so self-aware that nothing other than a slump and crash can be seen on the horizon. Nope, I've decided to be a little bit wiser and start writing 'pre-crest'. A start where hype hasn't taken hold and I'm not just waiting for is the cold reality of disappointment to head my way. So welcome…
…and devs?
Your game bores me, so what cha doing about it?

United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit
June 22, 2018
United States of America, Appelleev.Marlon Haight, Appellant
May 8, 2018
Appeals from the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia (No. 1:15-cr-00088-1)
Jenifer Wicks argued the causes and filed the briefs for
M. Jones and Lauren R. Bates, Assistant U.S. Attorneys,
argued the causes for appellee/cross-appellant. With them on
the briefs were Jessie K. Liu, U.S. Attorney, and Elizabeth
Trosman, Nicholas P. Coleman, and Christopher Macchiaroli,
Assistant U.S. Attorneys.
Before: Garland, Chief Judge, and Kavanaugh and Srinivasan,
Circuit Judges.
A jury
convicted Marlon Haight of several drug- and gun-related
offenses. The District Court sentenced Haight to 12 years and
8 months in prison.
appeals his conviction on three grounds. He challenges the
District Court's refusal to postpone his trial. He
contests two of the District Court's evidentiary rulings
at trial. And he raises an ineffective assistance of counsel
claim. We affirm Haight's conviction except that,
consistent with our ordinary practice, we remand for the
District Court to address Haight's ineffective assistance
claim in the first instance.
Government cross-appeals Haight's sentence. The
Government argues that Haight was subject to a 15-year
mandatory-minimum sentence under the Armed Career Criminal
Act because of Haight's three prior convictions for
violent felonies and serious drug offenses. We agree with the
Government. We therefore vacate Haight's sentence and
remand for resentencing.
2014, the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C.,
received a tip that a man known as Boo was selling crack
cocaine in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Washington.
The tip came from Blaine Proctor, a cocaine user and
long-time police informant. Proctor claimed to have bought
cocaine from Boo on several occasions.
gave the police Boo's cell-phone number. Police Officer
Herbert LeBoo ran the cell-phone number through a subscriber
database and determined that the number belonged to Marlon
Haight. Officer LeBoo then ran the name Marlon Haight through
another database and matched the name to a photograph.
Officer LeBoo showed the photograph to Proctor, who said,
"That's Boo."
Officer LeBoo's supervision, Proctor then made three
controlled purchases of crack cocaine from Boo. After the
third controlled purchase, police officers executed a search
warrant at the apartment where Boo had sold the cocaine to
Proctor. No one answered the door, so the officers used a
battering ram to enter the apartment. While most of the
officers were breaking down the door, Officer Clifford, who
was standing outside the apartment building, saw two men jump
from one of the building's windows and run away before
they could be apprehended. Officer Clifford later testified
that he was "90 percent" sure that one of the
jumpers was Marlon Haight, whose photo Officer Clifford had
studied earlier that day.
the other officers finished breaking down the door and
entered the apartment. There, they found Russell Ferguson.
Ferguson lived in the apartment. Ferguson denied that Haight
was selling cocaine from the apartment. But Ferguson later
cooperated with the police and changed his tune: He testified
that he had allowed Haight and four other men to use his
apartment to process and sell crack cocaine.
police officers searched Ferguson's apartment and found
cocaine, cocaine base, crack cocaine in small plastic bags, a
scale, baking soda, and hundreds of empty plastic bags. They
also found marijuana, a loaded handgun, ammunition, cash, and
a cell phone with a picture of Haight on its home screen.
In the
bedroom, the police saw that the screen to one of the windows
had been pushed out. They found another cell phone sitting on
the window sill. The police later determined that Haight had
purchased that cell phone.
About a
month later, the police located and arrested Haight. The
police then applied for a search warrant to search
Haight's own apartment. While they were waiting for the
warrant, the police staked out Haight's apartment
building. They saw Haight's girlfriend leave the building
carrying a backpack. They stopped her and eventually searched
the backpack. In the backpack, the officers found several
pounds of marijuana, Haight's employment documents, and a
sheaf of handwritten papers. The handwritten papers turned
out to be rap lyrics and a skit script that included
Haight's name and expressed Haight's desire to deal
drugs in Lincoln Heights. Later that day, after securing the
search warrant for Haight's apartment, the police
searched the apartment. There, they found another gun and
more ammunition.
Government charged Haight with numerous drug and gun crimes.
The jury found Haight guilty on six counts.
sentencing, the Government argued that Haight was subject to
a 15-year mandatory-minimum sentence based on his three prior
convictions for violent felonies and serious drug offenses.
The District Court ruled that one of the three convictions
did not qualify as a violent felony. The District Court
therefore concluded that Haight was not subject to the
15-year mandatory-minimum sentence. The District Court
sentenced Haight to 12 years and 8 months in prison.
appeals his conviction. The Government cross-appeals

General Conditions
We treat a range of general neuromuscular conditions. Most of the links provided below refer to topics on our Dartmouth-Hitchcock Healthwise® Health Encyclopedia website:
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease affecting the nervous system that has no known cure at this time. DHMC's ALS Center is dedicated to finding its cause and effective treatment, and provides education and support for patients and their families.
- Autonomic neuropathy is a group of symptoms caused by damage to nerves that regulate blood pressure, heart rate, bowel and bladder emptying, digestion, and other body functions.
- Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease defines a group of inherited, slowly progressive disorders that result from progressive damage to nerves. Symptoms include numbness and wasting of muscle tissue, first in the feet and legs, then in the hands and arms.
- Chronic inflammatory polyneuropathy is nerve inflammation that results in loss of movement or sensation.
- Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes, in which nerves are damaged as a result of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels).
- Guillain-Barre syndrome is a serious disorder that occurs when the body's defense (immune) system mistakenly attacks part of the nervous system. This leads to nerve inflammation that causes muscle weakness, which continues to get worse.
- Inclusion body myositis is a rare disease that occurs later in life and weakens muscles over time. While it does not cause pain and is not life-threatening, it can cause disability and particularly affects the arms and legs.
- Muscular dystrophy is a group of disorders that involve progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue.
- Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder characterized by variable weakness of voluntary muscles, which often improves with rest and worsens with activity. The condition is caused by an abnormal immune response.
- Myopathy is the weakness of muscle tissue due to problems with the muscle fibers. Symptoms can include cramping or stiffness and are often seen in patients with diseases such as muscular dystrophy.
- Neuralgia is pain that follows the path of a specific nerve.
- Polymyositis is a relatively uncommon inflammatory disease that causes significant muscle weakness.

Is anyone keeping a running tally of the Grand Old Policeblotter? I'd be interested to see that, except that after reading it, I'd probably feel compelled to go into the bathroom and shower for a week, preferably scrubbing with lye and steel wool.

[…] The fact that his wife had a restraining order on him and he wanted his own daughter dead makes me wonder if the full story might be even more horrible than reported. Not that I really want to know – I'm still recovering from the Ted Klaudt, "I'm not a gynecologist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express" story. […]

oh, tylenol cold daytime, how i love thee.
your cool burst of citrus mint refreshes my very soul. i trust you will trickle down into my bloodstream and possibly make this god forsaken sinus headache go away.
blah. we're sick. again.
i want to talk about post nasal drip.
what the heck? is there anything more infuriating than when your nose just drips? there's nothing to be done about it. there's no rhyme or reason to it. just drips.
i've tried to control post nasal drip with the power of my mind today. i tried to both make it drip, and to stop it from dripping. both attempts failed. it's insidious.
speaking of things you have no control over, i've been meaning to write about the weather.
back when i was younger, i despised conversations about the weather. it was the epitomy of small talk. so if someone brought up the weather, i made a mental note that they were possibly of questionable breeding.
but i don't feel that way anymore. in fact i've come 180 degrees from that position. now i nearly stand around waiting for the weather to be brought up these days. it happens much less than you'd think.
the attraction for me is the universal topic provided for those of us in the same vicinity. those kind of conversation starters are few and far between now a days.
so there's that.
but there's also the fact that we can't do a damn thing about it. whatever it be. rain, snow, sunshine or wind; we're all subject to the same conditions. it's about time the human race had something in common again.
well the sick baby is crying and my nose is dripping and the phone is ringing. really. all at the same time.
here's to your health!

Are you interested in the new CBD trend that everyone is talking about? If so, you should read this review article. Today we are talking about Treasured CBD, a new CBD oil that is marketed as an anxiety reducer. Many of the CBD products you will come across make that same claim. In fact, most people that use CBD are using it for this purpose. It would benefit us then to consider this claim in light of evidence and information we know about CBD and how it's made. That's why today we've decided to review Treasured CBD, one of the new CBD products now available for purchase! If you have anxiety and want to learn if there is an alternative to prescription medication, continue reading to find out! We've compiled the most important information below.
Treasured CBD is a new cannabidiol oil that contains 500mg of CBD. If you have heard about these products and want to learn more, you should finish reading this review. We will not only be analyzing Treasured CBD, but we will also be talking about the CBD background, where it comes from, and what science has said about it. A lot of people are suffering from anxiety. But they are also uncertain about prescription medications, their cost, and their side effects. But don't be too quick to jump on just any alternative that promises equal results. Natural products still have their side effect risks. That's why it's a good idea to read up before you buy. You can also click this button to see what the recommended CBD product is.
How Does Treasured CBD Work?
CBD is a compound that comes from the cannabis sativa plant. Here it gets confusing. You already know that marijuana is illegal because it is psychoactive, but why? THC is a different compound that creates a psychoactive affect, whereas the CBD compound does not create those effects. Treasured CBD is on the spot today. Why? Because they, like many other CBD products before, are claiming that cannabidiol reduces anxiety. There are a lot of myths floating around about CBD right now, so what are the facts. The fact is that there is still a lot of research that needs to go in to CBD. That being said, there is some known information. If you want to read about other aspects of CBD, you can read this article.
Treasured CBD Side Effects
We don't know of any side effects with Treasured CBD because it's still new. Common side effects of CBD are dry mouth, low blood pressure, light-headedness, and drowsiness. Treasured CBD Oil has not been studied officially, but CBD in general has. In some uses for epilepsy and psychotic disorders, CBD proved to have a better side effect profile than other medications that are commonly used for such disorders. But there are still a lot of unknown factors with CBD. For example, CBD may have an effect on hormones that still needs attention.
How To Order Treasured CBD
Unfortunately we have not been able to supply you with a definitive answer on Treasured CBD. The fact is, we can't recommend it because we don't have the proof that it can work, and we don't know of possible side effects. But you can still try it! The vast majority of CBD products out there right now are not officially tested or vetted by drug organizations. This means they are also pretty easy to access. If you want to order Treasured CBD, you can find ordering pages by searching online. But you can also click any button on this page to see the top-rated CBD products!

Guppies Go HomeEdit
A THE JudGes Original AdventurePart Two >>
Part I: The day continued about like any day would in Bubbletucky, Texas; the ducks were quacking in the pond, doctors healed broken bones and construcion workers built buildings. And it is here, at this school, the resident Bubble Guppies are playing with their new ideas on today's subject: astrophysics (we must be running out of episode ideas!).
Everything was running smoothly and on time, but (and there's always a but) it seems the mail trucks were running a bit early, as most businesses were not through a whole day's work. Upon its route, the truck stops at the Guppies' preschool to deliver its load.
"Hmmm." Says Mr. Grouper, "Mail's a bit early, huh?"
He skims through the pile of bills and overdue library book notices and finds a document in a strange language.
"Well, I've never seen anything written like this before," he says, "And I can't recall hearing of this return address."
He continues to read on, whatever he can, and sees it is addressed to the Bubble Guppies themselves. Mr. Grouper well knows of the Guppies abilities to read and write, but this he thought should most definetly test their knowlege.
He returns to the classroom as the Guppies seem to be tiring of practicing dirac equasions (who wouldn't?), and decides to show them, he starts, "Hey, you guys, this came in the mail for you."
"Really? We got mail?" Begins Molly.
"What's inside? We wanna see!" Exclaimed Gil.
"What's that funky lettering on the outside?" Inquires Deema.
"I don't know." Said Mr. Grouper, "I've never seen anything like it before. But there's only one way to find out." He opens the letter and stares deeply.
"What's it say?" Asks Oona.
"Oh dear... it reads: Dear sir or ma'am, you have been identified as the instructor for the six students coded as 'Gil,' 'Goby,' 'Molly,' 'Oona,' 'Nonny,' and 'Deema.'"
"Coded?!" Shouts Deema.
"A code is a system of letters or numbers to mean something else- wait, huh?" Said Nonny.
Mr. Grouper reads on, "We sent these individuals away from home five years ago to date for their own safety, and now we have made sure their homeland is completely safe for their return. A group of embassadors from this land will arrive at this location within the next two days, in the mean time, please send the children home with these six documents, similar to this one, describing what exactly is taking place. We will much enjoy seeing them once again. Sincerely, Sir Beaurigard Haansforrd Sebring IV, Royal Department of Public Safety."
The Guppies exchange blank stares, as if they had never seen each other before in their lives, only to be interrupted by Bubble Puppy's whimpers.
"Surely I am just a surprised as you are." Said Mr. Grouper. He hands them a copy of the document as they are sent home
The next day arrives with silence. For the first time in quite a while, no singing, no laughter, even Nonny was packed a simple macaroni and cheese; not any simpler. They all knew somthing was coming, it's just that no one knows what. Word had somehow gotten around of this mysery arrival, so dozens of anxious Bubbletucky citizens, some as far away as BubbleCity, gathered at the schoolground to watch in anticipation. Soon enough, it did.
A few police guided by a limousine which could probably have held twenty or so, followed by a large tour bus, all with unrecognizable lettering and lisence plating. Out of the limousine came a man, but there was something different about him- his tail fin.
Within seconds a microphone was set up and the man began to speak.
"Five years ago, our great city of Atlantis was brutally attacked." He began, "We found it the best action to send our six youngest heirs of the Royal Atlantean away for safe keeping. To ensure no unrest would ensue, the story was created of six inner city infant mer-folk from the eastern seaboard lost their homes, granted it was inhumane and wrong to lie, it was the only thing we thought could stop mass pandemoneum."
The residents looked around in shock, as the Guppies had the day before. Children clenched in parents arms, parents shouted in disapproval.
"We have concluded last week that the Royal City is up to Atlantis standards and is ready for the heirs' returns."
The man stepped from the stand; he, and a group of others, swam over to where the Bubble Guppies stood motionless. His grey-blue hair and slight smirk seemed somewhat familiar to them, though it escaped them.
"Good morning," one of the others started, "we have been waiting to meet and finally talk to you for quite a while. Now it's time to come home."
"Howdy!" Exclaimed the man who was previously been speaking in monotone at the mic. "My name is Beau Sebring, and I'll be escourting you back home to the spectacular city of Atlantis!"
The foster parents gave heavy hearted goodbyes, exchanging hugs, kisses and tears, until everyone was cried out and able to leave. Most executives rode aaway in the limousine, while the Bubble Guppies, Mr. Grouper, Bubble Puppy and Beau climbed aboard the tourbus and headed due East.
End of Part I

Dear Kim,
I work for a small statewide arts advocacy organization, and by small I mean in staff size rather than geographic size. We receive funding from our state agency and membership but realize the need to diversify our funding sources. We are finding it difficult to approach foundations and corporations for funding because we are statewide and we do advocacy. Any advice on how to solve this problem?
Dear Perplexed,
The solution is fairly easy: don't look to foundations and corporations for funding. In the private sector, foundations account for a little over 10% of money given and corporations about 5%. Individuals account for the remaining 85%. I think many people who love arts and culture, and who recognize the importance of community-based arts and culture groups, will be interested in donating to your organization to do advocacy work.
Although the solution is easy, the work is hard, and I don't want to trivialize what lies ahead for you. Let me just suggest two things to get you started:
1) Create an "associate" membership that is for individuals. For that membership, a person will get a newsletter and the knowledge that you are helping the arts on a statewide basis. Give this category of membership a name, but no voting rights. Create a simple brochure with a tear-off form and ask your organizational members to display it in their theaters, museums, galleries, libraries, and so on. Post this information on your website also, and make it possible for people to join from your site.
2) Seek out opportunities to talk about arts advocacy to service clubs, professional associations, and even faith-based groups. Tell people if they want to help, they can join your organization.
In other words, start building a broad base of individual donors, donors who give you any amount of money. From there, you can start to identify, from your list of supporters and from people in the community, those who believe in what you do and who can afford to give larger gifts. Developing a major gifts program — which requires a long-term commitment to building relationships with your donors — is something that will allow your income to grow year after year.
In addition, I suggest exploring some earned income ventures. Charge fees for workshops, create materials to sell, and, generally, look around for things that you know how to do, that you can offer your members for free or cheap, and that other non-arts organizations or people might be willing to pay for.
Finally, look for opportunities to do any joint fundraising with your members or with other advocacy groups. Linking the issues of arts and culture to civil liberties, environment, education, and so on is important politically because it helps build a stronger base, and it also will help you raise money.
Creativity is the name of the game here, and your work is built on the creative impulse. I have total confidence in you.

Bad Vibes Dowse Your House|
The absolute best teachers really adore the subject they teach and therefore are always attempting to get additional information about it. Teacher, you're the best. That's my advice to you personally if you're a teacher who'd like to quit. Fantastic teachers usually hold the endurance of Work. ''Success is actually a bad instructor. Composing abilities even have organization. Teachers must also offer the children proper directions for each form of composition which they need to compose. End by means of your thesis thought.
Your strategy towards different living businesses must be based on robust moral values.
They are able to obtain pupils participated within the topic as well as generate ideas of reallife irritaions that might be adequate difficulty option papers. Here are a few terrific essay issues that kids might detect simple to write. It doesn't require to be in the state composition form or perfect phrases. After, the very same will be factual of essays theywill have to write. As someone managing a preschool, I've come to view the function of the instructor interior also as outside. The teacher's learn remains complete along with the students haven't any access to the first record. This really is frequently an intimidating endeavor.

text: Brock 3,447 Report post Posted March 23, 2014 The Albuquerque Museum will launch a new exhibit on Vivian Vance, starting next Saturday through January 2015 entitled: Everybody's Neighbour: Vivian Vance. Here's a description from the Museum: Vivian Vance and her family moved to Albuquerque, introducing her to the Albuquerque Little Theater, which provided her the money she needed to study under Eva Le Gallienne in New York. She was discovered by Desi Arnaz at the La Jolla Playhouse, where who decided she was perfect for the role of Ethel Mertz in the "I Love Lucy" television series. This exhibition will celebrate the life and times of one of Albuquerque's most famous residents, through family memorabilia and the Museum's photographs. MUSEUM: http://albuquerquemuseum.org/art-history/upcoming-exhibitions?/exhibition/30 The show is also covered in today's Albuquerque Journal, along with a new interview with Viv's sister, Lou Ann Graham: Vivian Vance blazed her fire in the sky as a frumpy housewife and made her hometown proud. The Albuquerque Museum will honor the "I Love Lucy" star with "Everybody's Neighbor: Vivian Vance" beginning Saturday, March 29. The exhibition showcases the history and pop culture that sprang from this onetime Albuquerque resident, including photographs, clothing and memorabilia from her most famous role. Known as "Viv" to her friends and family, Vance was born Vivian Roberta Jones in Cherryvale, Kan. Her passion for the stage struck defiantly when she was a teenager, against the wishes of her religious mother. The family moved to Albuquerque in 1929 because of her mother's asthma Mae Jones thought acting was risque. "My mother objected to a lot of things," said Vance's youngest sister Lou Ann Graham, an Albuquerque acting teacher and actor. "We were raised in the Methodist Church. Later she became a Jehovah's Witness. My mother thought (acting) was sinful."

Hello, fellow Pathfinders! It's time to reveal some more cool new features of the Enhanced Edition, which, as we hope, will make you happy. Some of them you could already guess, looking at the EE beta patch notes, and some were carefully kept in secret till this moment. Anyway, today we will talk about everything in more detail. Rest assured, many interesting things lie ahead! So, shall we start?
Choose Your Destiny (Again)
Respec. Yes, you heard that right. You will finally be able to redistribute and reallocate all of the skills, stat points, feats and everything else! You've been asking us to add this feature for a long time. It looks so common for a computer game, but we couldn't find a compromise that wouldn't hinder the story and the inner logic of the game world. Finally, after a long search, we think that we've found that happy medium, which won't lead to abuse but will help players fix some of the level-up and character generation mistakes instead.
In the Enhanced Edition, you'll find a new option allowing to turn respec on and off. The high difficulty levels cannot tolerate any hesitation, so on Challenging mode and higher the option will be turned off by default. And if you'd like to turn it on manually, the difficulty level will automatically switch to "Custom", thus locking all of the "Challenging" achievements.
Respec will be available for purchase from Anoriel Eight Eyes, the same person you buy mercs from. First three uses are free of charge, however, anything above that will cost you - more and more each time. You will be able to respec your main hero and your custom characters completely. As for the companions, they can only be reset to the level they had when you met them (for example, you will be able to reset Octavia down to total character level 2 with 1 level of rogue and 1 level of wizard).
Even More Random Encounters
Travelling through such a wide and open land such as the Stolen Lands, you want everything to maintain this feeling of adventure and freedom. That's why we decided to add some new random encounters for you. And by "random" we really mean random - not only new battle encounters, but also completely different ones. For example, now on your journey you will be able to meet a wondering vendor, whose goods range would grow every time you meet him. We won't tell you about the others, though… Let the new encounters stay a mystery for now. Explore, travel, and get ready to run into a couple of surprises along the way!
Battle Toads
Those Pathfinders who are keen on natural science will be glad to hear that a new specimen has been spotted in the Stolen Lands. Villagers talk of toad-like humanoids known as boggards, whose kind have never been seen in these parts before.
Those creatures are able to use armor and weapons, they can intimidate their enemies by loud croaking and some of them are even able to cast magic.
Boggards normally appear only four feet tall, as they sit back resting on their long, muscular hind legs like a frog; at full height they are substantially taller. Boggards seem to prefer temperate swamps and marshlands, although some breeds have also been found along the river banks of the tropical rainforests. Their webbed hands normally wield crude weapons made of indigenous swamp material, often clubs of wood or bone, studded with the sharp teeth of local beasts. The armour boggards wear is of similar construction, being made of crudely cured reptile hides and the shells of giant turtles. Boggards make little use of metal, as it corrodes quickly in the humid environments they inhabit. They value magic items when they can obtain them, due to their resistance to physical corrosion.
Boggards, like the toads and frogs they so closely resemble, change their appearance depending on their environment. Which means boggards from different parts of the world will have different skin color, as well as different unique abilities.
Most tribes are led by powerful priest-kings who have been fed rare, hallucinogenic, blue dragonflies that allow them to hear the whisper words of their dark deity, the demon lord Gogunta (although some tribes are known to worship other demon lords, or even Rovagug himself).
Energy Fireworks
To improve immersion and make the action more dramatic, we've decided to add some new visuals to the game. Enhanced Edition will introduce new visual effects for death from different energy types. They will trigger if the death was not caused by a critical hit and not by level 0 magic. As you probably guessed, the actual effect depends on the type of energy that made that last deadly hit.
Start of The Adventure
Since the official release, we've put months of hard work into this game and made numerous improvements along the way, but even then we still felt that the Stolen Lands were too harsh for far too many new players. We deeply researched the first chapter and made a big survey, gathering opinions from more than 1000 players. So that's what we decided to change:
Spider swarms. This enemy appeared to be a real pain for lots of players. We've nerfed them, we've added new tips, we gave out extra flasks of alchemical fire… and to no avail. Spider swarms continued to be a major source of frustration, especially during the first playthrough. So we dealt with the problem drastically: we redesigned the fangberry cave. From now on, the pesky spider swarms won't stand in your way. You'll be able to either gather the berries and leave in peace, or go to a separate part of the cave to fight the swarms anyway - and get a separate reward for that.
We moved some of the locations around the global map to make the difficulty curve more smooth and better balanced.
Three completely new lairs have been added: two for boggards (the new monster type discussed earlier) and one for manticoras.
Another painful enemy for many a player was the Technic League. We decided to take the blinding spell out of their arsenal. Now players will encounter "blindness" as a condition for the first time much later in the First chapter.
We added new packs of ordinary wolves in the Old Sycamore area. We also made the sleeping bandits a little weaker.
We adjusted and re-balanced the AC of some enemies
We hope that now the game will play more smoothly and logically for you, and no sudden difficulty spikes will confuse you.
There is another ability in tabletop which we lacked in the digital version - the ability to finish the enemy off with one fell blow, «Coup de grâce». It's as simple as that: any character with a melee weapon can finish off a helpless creature (sleeping, paralyzed, etc.) using a full-round action. For this feature, we added special new character animations. Be firm, be merciless, and leave nobody behind!
In the name of Our Lord in Iron
Adepts of Nunchaku, Throwing Axes or other types of weapons which were under-represented in the game before - this is your time! Praise be to Gorum, for we've added more Dwarven Urgroshes and Waraxes, Fauchards, Flails, Shortspears, Darts, Double Swords and Axes to the loot - all of these used to be exceedingly rare. We've also added weapons of other types, including Battleaxes, Earthbreakers, Gnome Hooked Hammers, Great Clubs, Heavy Flails, Light Hammers, Light Maces, Longspears, Starknives and others.
Totally, there are now more than 80 new spots for you to restock your armory!
That's all the new features of the Enhanced Edition we wanted to share with you for today. But that's still far from the full list! Expect new posts, read the previous Diary in case you missed it, and also join us on dev streams, where you can see even more and ask anything you'd like. Last but not least, do not forget that Enhanced Edition is in open beta right now, so if you prefer getting your hands dirty to reading or watching others play, be sure to join!
That's all, folks - see you all in the Stolen Lands!
Yours faithfully,

Battleborn vs. Overwatch - What's the difference?
Battleborn vs. Overwatch - What's the difference?
They look the same, so they must be the same game, right? Is that how it works?
I can't choose at the moment-
Personally, I kinda favour Battleborn due to having more content (quantity) as in a story mode where Overwatch on the other hand has better looking characters (quality)! This is not to say Battleborn character are bad, it just that the Overwatch character are more distinguish as in like Team Fortress 2 kind of unquieness (like how you can easily recognise the classes if they were put as silhouette!).
Another off putting that I had found out recently is that Battleborn need 50gig storage space but some other website says it only need 10gig?? Overwatch simply needs 5gigs?
Either way, I won't be buying anyone of the two on release day especially when I recently learn that Fire Emblem: Fates is coming out to Europe at the end of May like Overwatch and the special collection with Revelation is out a week after!!!
Also, does anyone know why the Steam download version for Battleborn is ?9 more than the disc version on Amazon? I mean the disc is gonna be used on Steam anyway?
One thing is for sure, I like overwatch's roster WAY more than battleborn's. Overwatch doesn't seem terribly afraid of giving high firepower, and/or defense and the sort to the women in the roster which gives it superior brownie points with me for a more diverse skill set to pick from instead of Battleborn's fixation on making most of the women support, or glass cannons with MAYBE some potential for a few to be decent tanks, though those are all frikking melee sorts and generally low on the HP side of things.
Issue with Overwatch is that I hate PVP.
My Anthro Urges
My Robot Urges
I still don't have enough of an urge to purchase either one.
I haven't been able to test Battleborn, but Overwatch has a lot of diversity within the classes that I really like. There's depth to the game for every playstyle and I even found myself playing a heals class when I've never been interested in such before. There might not be a story mode, but if the first short released is any indication of the external story development Blizz is putting in, I don't mind it not being directly part of the game. That little short about Winston was Pixar-level awesome.
My choice is neither, they both pale in comparison to Team Fortress 2.
Even something as basic as an art style in TF2 is better, with everyone having come from the same setting and having well defined if stereotypical personalities that suit their role as ruthless mercenaries. Likewise the RED and BLU mercs are fighting each other because they like violence and money and the other side is opposing their respective employers interest of not having to share so they can have more money. Why does the Administrator run both RED and BLU and have fight one another? Because she makes more money that way. There's a lot of areas the gameplay can fit into in it's own setting. Something Overwatch doesn't seem to have (something as a basic a reason for the fights should be in from the start).
Overwatch kind of falls apart in that area. Not to say the characters are bad but we don't even know why Overwatch is fighting... Overwatch? Why is Reaper fighting alongside Overwatch? He seems to hate Overwatch entirely, enough to go around killing it's former and current agents, Overwatch is basically fighting itself. And it's cast isn't winning awards for originality even compared to TF2. We have the Warcraft Dwarf Engineer, a ripoff of Monday Night Combat's Cheston, a gender-flipped Russian stereotype made because the women before all had similar builds, A Clint Eastwood parody, etc. Sure they're diverse, but they aren't entertaining and don't quite have the clear but versatile roles of TF2. Combine that with 6 vs 6 battles and it's not exactly exciting.
Battleborn on the other hand feels like an attempt to cash in on Borderlands and TF2's success. Gearbox hasn't been that good outside of Borderlands in recent years and even then it was only Borderlands 2. Anyone remember Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens: Colonial Marines? Yeah. Not exactly hyped for Gearbox.
Between the two I guess Overwatch is a bit more appealing to me. I like character designs a little bit more and I'm more of a fan a straight up PVP shooters than ones with MOBA elements. Although, I can't deny that Battleborn's single player elements are appealing.
Well it seemed pretty obvious to me that the failings of DNF and A:CM were due to Gearbox not giving a damn and believing that those games would sell plenty on name recognition, regardless of quality. Gearbox can make good games when they want to, though admittedly the last time that happened was Borderlands 2. I guess Battleborn will be Gearbox's chance to prove that they can give a damn about something other than Borderlands.
This has always been a strong tenet of Blizzard design philosophy across all its games: silhouette. Blizz always wants you to be able to tell exactly who a character is amidst whatever chaos is going on.
No mention of that even worse than Duke Nukem Forever, Aliens: Colonial Marines game that Gearbox made? At least with DNF they have the excuse that a fed up publisher handed them over a decade's worth of scrapes of a game and no doubt said, "please, just do ANYTHING with this." That Aliens game though... I can't fathom any good reason for that sucking all the ass.
Also, Gearbox's game looks like a Borderlands clone to me to more than anything. When I first saw footage of it, that's what I thought it was at first and when I found out it was completely different game I was like, "wait, what?"
It's the Borderlands universe at the artificial heat death of that universe. What's hard to understand?
As for A:CM, that has an interesting development history. By interesting, I mean that the end product was put together by three studios other than Gearbox using assets initially created by Gearbox after they basically faffed off and concentrated on Borderlands and then dumped onto the market. Why Gearbox did so is unknown, ranging from because they could to continuous publisher meddling in A:CM so they said fuck it to concentrate on their own shit. So if you think the main campaign was boring, blame TimeGate Studios. If you think the DLC were bad, blame Demiurge Studios and Nerve Software.

Hello all!
On Saturday, the second stage run of The Engagement came to an end. Running for five nights, I am delighted to report that it has received very pleasant reviews. Here are some of the things people have said about yours truly:
"Allen is not afraid to lean into the darkness behind the story, but despite the bleak subject matter has succeeded in creating an engaging play."
"Allen has tapped into a true story unseen like this before, but perhaps known by many. This is urgent, provocative work, and no doubt will be returning to the stage."
I've got to be honest. I would not be getting this kind words if the cast hadn't done such a marvellous job.
Lene Kqiku, Johnny Parr and Velenzia Spearpoint gave powerful performances and really did the script justice.
And of course, special thanks to our director, Laura Dorn, who managed to make a stage play with constant scene changes and time skips work!
You can read all the reviews below. And if you have a chance, do check out the wonderful track from Zwah, used in the soundtrack for the play.
Onwards and upwards!!

Get a £15 welcome bonus at 20Cogs. With an average payout of £200 per person it is a great time to complete all 20 offers and cash out!
"Treat yourself!" Is a phase that gets used very frequently. We use "treat yourself" to justify spending, and buying yourself treats is often a reaction to something much bigger. Had a bad day? Treat yourself. Been working super hard? Treat yourself. Got PMS? Treat yourself. The thing is, treating ourselves is usually used as a way to make ourselves feel better which leads to an emotional connection with spending. The thing is, you can treat yourself without spending money, and I'm here to tell you about my 10 favourite ways to do so.
Pick a posy of flowers from the garden
Flowers brighten up any room, and it is often tempting to pick up a lovely bunch from a market stall or even at the supermarket as a special treat. But why not make a little flower arrangement of your own and hand pick some blooms from the garden? You'll enjoy picking some of your favourite colours and the best part is, it's a free treat!
Swap books with friends
Book swaps are the best way to read bestsellers without having to shell out for every new book that takes your fancy. See if any of your friends and colleagues have read any good books recently and ask if you can borrow one of theirs and if they would like to borrow one of yours. If you're a lone bookworm then head to your local library where you can borrow books for free- just remember to return them in good time to avoid any late fines.
Get beauty freebies
If buying the latest skincare and haircare products is your thing, then you need to sign up to schemes such as Glamour Beauty Club and SuperSavvyMe. You can often receive sample size bottles of lotions and potions- all for free! Past freebies have included Aussie hair masks and Burt's Bees hand cream and lip balm so it is definitely worth signing up.
Go to bed earlier
So this one is more of a treat to your mind and body than anything else, but a good night's sleep is overrated. So many of us aren't getting the recommended 8 hours a day and our bodies are probably not thanking us for it. Be kind to yourself and treat yourself to an 8 hour snooze- it costs nothing and you will feel better for it the following day.
DIY beauty treatments
If you love getting a facial or your nails done, these treats are likely to be setting you back a lot of money every month. If you can live without going to the salon, sometimes an at-home beauty treatment can be just as relaxing. Paint your nails yourself and don't rush yourself- add a base coat and a top coat and no one will know that your professional looking nails were painted by you. You could also do some DIY treatments with ingredients found in your cupboards, check out my favourites here.
Organise a clothes swap
Treating yourself to clothing is something that can be hard to stay away from, so to avoid temptation, you could attend a clothes swap in your local area or organise one if there isn't one nearby. Search on Google to see whether there are any upcoming events near you, and treat yourself to some new additions to your wardrobe without spending a penny.
Get someone to cut your hair
This one might not be for everyone, and is probably most suited to someone who has a very simple cut at the hairdressers normally. If you can get someone you trust to watch some YouTube videos with you on how to do your usual cut, and convince them to start snipping- you may just save yourself a fair bit of cash over the course of the year.
Free trial with Netflix or Prime Video
If you don't already have access to Netflix or Amazon's Prime Video, the good news is that you can get a 30 day free trial for either of these services and treat yourself to a full month (or two if you sign up to each service consecutively) of popular movies and TV shows. Why not do a DIY treatment whilst getting hooked on the latest Netflix drama?
Get free food
You read that correctly, with a little insider knowhow, you can get free food! There are so many ways to treat yourself to free food and drink by downloading apps, using loyalty cards, and signing up newsletters to get amazing deals on your birthday. Check out my favourite ways to get free food here.
Cash in on your loyalty points
If you have a stack of points on your Boots Advantage Card, and you are desperate for a treat, now is the time to cash in those points. With any loyalty points card, it is worth saving up those points for when you really want to buy yourself something- and this way, you can do so without spending any of your own cash.

A Traditional Leaders' View
My name is Sebastião Andrade. I am the traditional leader for the village of Kimbaxi Santa Maria. I am 61 years old and I am also a member of the Women Farmers' Club project.
First of all, I would like to say thank you for everything that the project is doing in the community. The Community Health Agents have passion and patience while carrying out house to house campaigns. The project is mobilising people about malaria and HIV/TB and right now our community has a lot of information about both diseases. Now people know the symptoms of malaria very well and they take precautions to prevent these diseases. Community mobilisation yields good results.
Basic sanitation has also improved in our community as it is the basis for reducing diseases. I used not to sleep under a mosquito net but after the Community Health Agent visited and informed me about the risk I was running, now I always sleep underneath a mosquito net in order to reduce the possibility of catching malaria. Everyone keeps their surroundings clean for a safe and healthy environment.

About GCNS -
GCNS is an established not-for-profit nursery school and has been operating from the educational wing of Grace Lutheran Church in Needham, Massachusetts, for over thirty years.
The Grace Christian Nursery School (GCNS) opened in September of 1986 under the direction of Ellen Burns. Initial enrollment was 10 children in the 3 day program, 7 children in the 4 day program, and 1 child in the 5 day program.
Mid-way through the first year the classes were given the names of Teddy Bears, Chipmunks, and Dinosaurs.
Nancy Gallello became the Director in 1988 and served for 26 years, expanding enrollment and enhancing educational programs while continuing GCNS's commitment to allow pre-school children to discover their interests and to develop to their best potential in a nurturing and supportive environment.
In 2014 Kayanna Scott-Brown became the third Director of GCNS.
After serving as Lead Teacher/Administrator at GCNS for five years, Jean Lorence became GCNS's Director in January, 2017.
"Grace Christian Nursery School has been a truly nurturing school for our daughter. The children engage in a wide variety of activities each day in a supportive, play based environment. The teachers couldn't be more loving while teaching children the skills they need. She can't wait to go to school each day! "
Melyssa Taylor, Parent
"GCNS provided both of my children with a positive introduction to school and learning. The teachers at GCNS are nurturing, insightful and creative. Their curriculum is based on teaching children through having fun. There wasn't a day that either of my children came home and didn't tell me they had a GREAT day! I feel that GCNS provided them with exactly what they needed to be ready for Kindergarten. Both of them still have loving memories of their years with Grace, and have maintained friendships they made while at GCNS. Friendships we all still maintain, as we found GCNS a community of supportive and loving families. A community that welcomed us in from the very first day."
MaryAnn Black, Parent
An environment conducive to the optimal spiritual, mental and physical development of each child enrolled

…because some thoughts are worth remembering
Back in the early 90's, on my first trip to Alan Wong's Restaurant (apparently one of President Obama's faves in Hawaii), the General Manager was convinced I was a food writer or a restaurant reviewer because I was taking photos of the dishes (with my analog camera) when Yelp!, Instagram and FoodTV Network didn't exist. When I swore up and down that I was not, he thought I was a restaurateur or a chef, because I asked for a copy of the menu I can take home. The word Foodie, like Selfie, wasn't a vernacular that got tossed around, and I would have rejected that title, too, because I just enjoy eating good food. Who doesn't?
It turns out that there are people, and communities, where every day eating is a thing you need to do. Japan is food-obsessed. They don't need a TV channel dedicated to cooking because every broadcast channel has plenty of segments that involve cooking and restaurant reviews embedded into their programs, as well as full-length reality TV and game shows focused on food (Iron Chef, now a popular TV program in the US began in Japan a long time ago!). Having been brought up in Japan, I only realized that there were other attitudes towards food and eating when my in-laws found my need to experience good food…at best curious, if not odd. When my mother-in-law met my mother, and observed how she enjoyed her food and described the sensations, a light bulb turned on: "I get it now. For you and Yuka, eating is an experience!"
But, of course. Every meal is an opportunity to experience the joy that I get from eating. On most days I get to do it 3 times a day (at least). It's the opposite of what my college friend used to say about how he hated mornings: "Waking up is the most horrible thing I have to do, and I have to do it every day."
Then I realized, wait, there are people (like my in-laws) where eating is not necessary prioritized as an experience. Now the stories of my husband's childhood made sense: eating a bag of trail mix in the back of the car so they can get to the next place without having to stop for lunch, and selecting a food product for its high caloric value to make sure you don't go hungry (or a healthier version would be carrot sticks, and you know how I feel about that).
One isn't right or better, and the other attitude, wrong or worse. But I will say that my mother-in-law appreciates having me around on trips which automatically ensures that there will be 3 (memorable, though she may care more about the 3) meals will be scheduled into our plans.
