The venerable Mitsubishi ASX has been around for ten years now but continues to sell well despite modest facelifts in the years since. The mid-size SUV compares with the Toyota RAV4 and C-HR, Mazda CX-3, Subaru XV and Hyundai Kona, with the range starting at an affordable $23,490 (before on-road costs).
The range includes three main model grades, ES, LS and Exceed, all of which are powered by a 110kW/197Nm 2.0-litre petrol four cylinder. The power is sent to the front wheels and the car is available with either manual or CVT transmissions.
The Mitsubishi ASX is characterised by its strong value and high levels of space on offer.

In my last reading update, I included a number of picture books. As I have a habit of going to Audreys Books and seem to make it down to the kids section fairly often, I tend to skim or flip through several kids books each month. But, last month, I sat down and properly read several kids books, taking the time to enjoy the stories and admire the pictures.
If you read the update, you may have noticed that I kept commenting on the art in these books. The story is only half the treasure. I'm a big fan of books with interesting, innovative, or pretty art. Some of my favourite childhood books had lovely and detailed paintings, but others had unique styles, bold colours, or slightly odd images. As an adult, I still love kids books and have purchased a few for myself after falling in love with ones that I bought for my niblings. They're like art or coffee table books for me.
I'm the same way with graphic novels or comics. Often, I will stop (or never really start) reading something simply because I can't connect with the art. Or, I'll stick with a comic or graphic novel for longer than the story deserves because the art is beautiful or interesting. For example, I tried really hard to quit Bird Boy because the updates were often sporadic or really far apart. I eventually compromised with myself – I could keep the link, but I wouldn't follow it regularly until the updates were more frequent (which they seem to be now, so I need to catch up and start following it again).
The things is – and this seems to surprise some people – the art doesn't have to be "good." That is, it doesn't have to look like it was created by someone who spent years studying figure drawing, or be pretty, or be realistic, or look exactly like what it's supposed to represent. Sometimes, the artist's style is very interesting or the style works well with the story or mood. And, yes, sometimes, the story stands on it's own, so it doesn't matter that the art isn't "perfect."
When I look at the art in books, whether for myself or for my niblings, I'm looking for something that adds to the story, but also for something that makes me stop and admire the images. I adore a number of artist who have rough, crude, and even "ugly" art because their work is unique and interesting. And, I think this this is part of what makes me an artist. I have an eye for the interesting, for the unique, and for the work behind even the simplest cartoon. And, I think it's really important that we continue to support and encourage all forms and styles of art in kids books – kids need to see that a dog can take a million different forms and colours. It will help them understand creativity and interpret other people's perspectives.
Whether you have kids in your life or not, I challenge you to take the time to check out picture books on occasion. Find one that make you stop before you turn the page, than take a moment to enjoy the art.

Lions Gate presents
Captain America: What's his story?
DVD ReviewIn an attempt to generate new readers and fresh takes on classic heroes, Marvel Comics unveiled their "Ultimate" line in 2000. Basically, the idea was to take classic heroes like Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers, and start them from scratch, without the decades of continuity that could be off-putting to a newcomer. It also allowed the characters to be re-interpreted in terms of today, tweaking things where needed. Marvel's premiere super team, the Avengers, came in for a revamp with The Ultimates, which recast the team in cynical if realistic ways. It is that series that has provided the inspiration for Marvel's first animated feature, Ultimate Avengers: The Movie (the "Ultimate Avengers" moniker makes no sense, as any fan of either book will attest). Unfortunately, the filmmakers only very loosely adapted The Ultimates for this film; the film defangs the source material to produce a limp, by the numbers superhero saga we've all seen before.
Like the original Avengers series, Ultimate Avengers details the gathering of a team of superheroes to battle menaces America's armed forces cannot handle. Captain America, who has been located and revived after falling into suspended animation at the end of World War II, leads a new team of heroes against first an alien menace that has been hiding since the end of the war, and then the more homegrown threat of the Hulk.
What really puzzles is the reasoning behind throwing away an exciting story as told in The Ultimates for something as warmed over as this. At 71 minutes, the story feels unbalanced, with nearly 50 minutes gone before the team has actually done anything. The final chunk of the story has some decent action, particularly in the fight against the Hulk, but even that turns somewhat repetitive. The puzzlement comes from having the source material already there, effectively serving as storyboards for a potential film. The comic version features a story vastly more dynamic and cinematic than what's used here, which is a pretty sad state for the film to be in. My only guess is that the powers that be decided they wanted to play it safe, and avoid the aspects of the comic that actually made it interesting, like the heroes having negative aspects to their characters (Iron Man's overweening egotism, Giant Man's physical abuse of the Wasp, Thor's potential insanity, etc). The worst you can say about the characters as presented is that Giant Man is a bit of jerk, and he's shaped up by the end.
The comic series used realpolitik in the way it handled the construction of the team and its use, which was a refreshing change. And the characters act like real people with real motivations: Thor only agrees to help out if the US government agrees to double international aid (he's basically a super-powered tree hugger); Iron Man owns part of the merchandising rights to the group, and gleefully comments about how they sold 15 million copies of the DVD featuring the Ultimates fighting the Hulk. There's plenty of other examples, but very little of that kind of depth is present in a film that plays like a glorified pilot for a television series. The animation looks little better than most televised shows, and given that the directors' worked on the X-Men: Evolution series, this doesn't come as much of a shock. The content is tame enough for TV, with perhaps a couple minor excisions. I wasn't expecting something radical, but this doesn't even show people getting killed unless they are vaporized (the opening scene's WWII firefight has no one actually getting hit with bullets), presumably a ratings cop-out. A trailer on the disc for the second Ultimate Avengers film, coming this fall, promises to go more in depth, but I have my doubts.
Rating for Style: B-
Rating for Substance: C+
Image Transfer
Image Transfer Review: Generally speaking, this looks fine, but on several occasions, the mouths of speaking characters exhibited interlacing effects, and stepping through some scenes frame by frame shows interlacing. The transfer is framed at 1.78:1 and is anamorphically enhanced.
Image Transfer Grade: B
Audio Transfer
Audio Transfer Review: The film has a fairly vigorous Dolby 5.1 mix, given the number of explosions and other action sound effects. A nice job all around. A Spanish Dolby 5.1 mix is also included.

Extra Extras:
The remainder of the extras are only so-so. Ultimate Voice Talent Search (05m:23s) is a collection of fan auditions to play the roles in the film, and they are pretty much all awful, some purposely so. At least it's short. A trivia track can be switched on to watch during the film, providing information about both the story and the background of the comic book. A good idea, but the comic dialogue bubbles used to present the info are somewhat annoying; a simple subtitle track would have sufficed. The info includes staff credits and some self-congratulatory stuff about the movie during the main titles followed by actual trivia, which is geared more towards the neophyte. I noticed the odd typo here and there.
Extras Grade: B
Final CommentsIf you're already a fan of The Ultimates comic series, you'll probably want to avoid this watered down, compromised adaptation, which changes much more than it actually uses from the comic. The DVD is adequate, though the video has some problems. The extras provide some added interest for the neophyte and comic fan alike.

This Day in the History of Political Forks in the Road
On this day in 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected U.S. President and the country was on its way inexorably to a bloody civil war. Lincoln, the first Republican President, defeated three other candidates (John C. Breckinridge, John Bell and Steven Douglas), but he received less than 40% of the total popular vote, very little of it in the South which was solidly Democrat.

The Pack
- This article refers to the TV show starring the Pack. For the team, see here.
The Pack was a syndicated television series formed around the Pack, depicting them as action heroes constantly doing battle with Evil Ninjas and racing about corridors. [1] The series appeared to be strictly action with almost no characterization or plot, and we can also safely assume that after Fox and Wolf were arrested following their initial clash with the gargoyles, the program was hurriedly canceled.
The show was produced by PackMedia Studios and was enjoyed by the Trio and Hudson until their first encounter with the Pack. The series had completed at least one full season (and just begun airing another) before it was pulled. [2] Billy and Susan Greene remained fans of the show long after its cancellation. ("The Thrill of the Hunt", "Masque")
A man at the Diamond Exchange who was also a fan of the show noticed Jackal and Hyena, asking them if they were on the television show. Hyena confirming that they were on The Pack offered a threatening autograph, and pulled out a knife which she used to cut his bow tie. ("Her Brother's Keeper")
Xanatos probably worked on conceiving the series, but delegated the day to day work on it to others. [3]

definitely a strong card in limited. to costly to be strong in construucted
nothing is too costly in commander
I think he's talking about the non casual constructed formats, but this still wouldn't really be worth a slot for commander. it's a six mana 4/4, vamps can do way better. the recursive effect is cool but I'd play pre modern vamps like Sengir Vampire before this simply cause it's cheaper but still the same size. limited this is nice value since they have to keep your board clear, but edh this is a win more card that doesn't give you much winning more.
edgar might be able to make it work, since it can make tokens pretty easy, but i do agree and believe it is a big might
I saw people adding Squee in Vampire Commanders like Oliviar to get a card to discard each turn. Replacing the costs of "discarding a card" with "tapping three vampires" can be a good reason to use this. And as far as I remember even the combo of Eldrazi Displacer + Eldrazi Displacer + Zulaport Cutthroat saw play in constructed.
Edgar Markov be like
TAP the STAP
Cool limited card and plays well with that 4 drop that creates three vampires. Can't quite see it in constructed yet.
The best possible card to combine with this is rotating out. RIP Call the Bloodline memes.
Dang that art is cool. Going to be a real workhorse in certain limited decks too.

My students never cease to amaze me and I feel truly feel blessed that I have the opportunity to show them that often! Positive feedback can be important for anyone and the more authentic the better. What is more authentic than teaching your teacher something that she couldn't do on her own?!?!? One of my seventh graders showed me today how to properly embed a YouTube video on our class wikispace and I was amazed at how easy it was - and how proud he was.
This seventh grader is quite tech savvy (the same student who gave me my "Blinky") and this gave him an opportunity to use his knowledge appropriately while receiving authentic feedback. He was also assisting his class in preparing for a neat activity since the video was for making chainmail which we will be doing next week as we study guilds.
He then shared with me the new videos he's embedded on his home page of our wiki and I was again struck by how giving a student their own space can really support their growth and self-esteem. He has posted categories of videos on his home page twice since we've started our wiki this semester, he taught the other students how to create their avatars and he selected one for me:
How cool is that! Out of all the images he searched, he chose one of Einstein for me (I do have a poster of Einstein in my classroom, especially since he is thought to have had a learning disability). While it might have because of our similar hairstyles, it ranks right up there in my favorite teaching moments!
I learn from my students every day and THAT is when I usually feel like a good teacher . . . in fact, it's because I can learn from my students that I believe I am a good teacher!

Students as Teachers
1 comment:
- Beautiful Designs by Tian said...
I think it's important for not only teachers but all adults to give kids a chance to teach, even when the child is not teaching. We all need to open our minds to the possibilities of knowledge, no matter the source. Everyday my 3 year old teaches me something, because I allow myself to learn from him and not just dismissive of him.

Symposium on Sound, Rhetoric, and Writing
We invite proposals for the first-ever Symposium on Sound, Rhetoric, and Writing, to be held in the cities of Nashville and Murfreesboro, Tennessee, on Sept. 7 & 8, 2018. From Belmont University's Gallery of Iconic Guitars to historic recording studios like Ocean Way, from Middle Tennessee State University's Center for Popular Music to its Department of Recording Industry, these two cities are home to a wealth of sound culture and music history, making them a fitting place for a gathering of sonically inclined rhetoric and writing scholars.
Over the past decade, sound has become an increasingly popular topic for rhetoric and writing scholars working in both English and communication (see Gunn et al.). Rhetoric and writing scholars have approached sound from a number of angles, often in ways that resonate with interdisciplinary fields like sound studies and disability studies. This work has appeared across print-based and digital journals in the field, frequently gathered in special issues like enculturation's "Writing/Music/Culture" (1999), Computers & Composition and C&C Online's "Sound in/as Compositional Space" (2006), Currents in Electronic Literacy's "Writing With Sound" (2011), and Harlot's "Sonic Rhetorics" (2013).
This symposium aims to provide a dedicated space for rhetoric and writing scholars to present and discuss scholarship focused on sound. While we invite a wide range of proposals that take up expansive conceptions of "sound," "rhetoric," and "writing," we offer the following as potential starting points:
Sounding out the disciplinary relationships between rhetoric, writing, and sound studies
Sound and/as accessibility
Listening as a rhetorical practice
How histories of rhetoric, writing, and composition can speak to current studies of sound
Sonic archives and the history of sound
Rhetorical aspects of/approaches to sonic environments
The possibilities of sound as a scholarly medium/mode
The relationship of sound to other media/modes/modalities
Interdisciplinary possibilities for rhetorical work on sound
Voice as a sonic phenomenon
Empirically and/or theoretically informed approaches to integrating sound into rhetoric and/or writing classrooms
We anticipate a relatively small symposium (<100 attendees), and we encourage submissions that will maximize the number of participating voices—roundtables and dialogue-based sessions, for example. While senior scholars are welcome to propose more traditional presentations, we especially encourage them to consider collaborative proposals and presentational formats that also involve junior scholars and/or graduate students. In addition to traditional presentations, we encourage the proposal of experimental, performative work. This work might include (but is not limited to):
Short (5-10 minute) pieces of pre-produced audio scholarship
Short films or documentaries that explore some aspect of sonic experience
Musical or other creative-critical sonic compositions/performances
Sonic games that take advantage of the affordances of locative or related media
Gallery-style installations that blur the line between scholarship and sound art
A note on the installation option: depending on the volume of installation submissions we receive, some portion of the symposium will be set aside for participants to tour a gallery of accepted installations with their creators on hand for Q&A.
While collaborative proposals are encouraged, individual proposals are welcome. The deadline for proposals is December 15, 2017. Individual proposals are limited to 500 words. Roundtable or other collaborative proposals are limited to 1,250 words. No more than two proposals per person. Due to the time constraints of a symposium, anyone who has two proposals accepted will be expected to choose only one of them to present at the symposium. Submit proposals by visiting http://rheteric.org/ssrw2018. Proposers will be notified of organizers' decisions by March 1, 2018. Additional questions about the symposium should be sent to email@example.com.
An audio version of this CFP is available at http://rhetoricity.libsyn.com/cfp-symposium-on-sound-rhetoric-and-writing.

My great grandmother was born in Berlin: Selma Hewald, born Oct 20, 1867. My great grandfather, Laurenz Moritz Enting, was born Westphalia (apparently Westfalen, Germany) Oct 31, 1857.
Hewald and her family left Berlin and travelled to New Zealand, arriving about 1875. Selma met Moritz in NZ and they married in Napier, June, 1887. They had six children, one being my grandmother who was born in NZ in 1895.
Selma's mother, Charlotte, was born in Frankfurt, and her father, Martin Hewald, born Germany. They married in Berlin.
Other details: (if correct):
Laurenz Enting trained to be a priest in Germany, but one day, while in Hamburg, he decided to give it up, and quit, apparently, and left Germany to go to London. He left there and got work as a chef on a ship, and sailed
around the Atlantic before arriving in NZ. His parents stayed in Germany. He had a few siblings, and one of his brothers went to the UK possibly. In NZ, Laurenz met Selma Hewald, who had also emigrated from Germany (Berlin) with her family when young. It seems
he worked for awhile in a tavern in NZ as a pastry chef in a business with Selma's father, Martin Hewald. Laurenz died in NZ in 1907, at age 49. He was found drowned in a pond after one night having left his work at the tavern. (Apparently, he was a
bit of a drinker, and a jury found no evidence of foul play).
Other ancestry, going way back, is UK. My great grandfather (Albert Newman, married: Phoebe Bee) was born in UK in 1840 (emigrated
to NZ) as were his parents (James Newman, born 1779, married: Maltida Mount; and: James Newman, born 1771, married: Hibbert) and grandparents. My grandfather (Albert's son) was born in NZ.
and Phoebe's son (my grandfather) married Selma and Laurenz's daughter (Gretchen, my grandmother) in NZ. (I am a NZ citizen).
Other history: UK
1914 - 1918: My grandfather (Albert and Phoebe's son) fought in WW1 on the side of the 'allies' and was in the army of occupation in Cologne in 1919. He survived the war, then returned to New Zealand. He later met and married to my grandmother,
Gretchen, whose parents had emigrated from Germany, and whose mother was born in Berlin. (If correct: one or maybe several, of Gretchen's brothers, being NZ citizens, also fought in WW1 on the side of the 'allies').
Laurenz (Moritz) Enting had three brothers, and he was the youngest: Names were, apparently: Bernard, Anton and William. It seems two of them stayed in Germany, and one went to the UK and worked in a tavern there.

During the mid-1800s, New Zealand attracted many single male immigrants wanting to make their fortunes on the goldfields and other like ventures. By 1900 there were numerous elderly men who had not married and were without families. This posed a problem as during this time as traditionally, elderly people who became ill or were unable to work relied on family for support. Where could elderly people go to get the care they needed?
Hospitals and Lunatic Asylums.
The Inspector-General of Hospitals and Lunatic Asylums, Dr G. W. Grabham wrote in his first report that the greatest obstacle to the hospitals' usefulness was that they were made the homes of aged, infirm and chronic cases 'corresponding very closely to the permanent pauper inhabitants of an English union workhouse'. Dr Duncan MacGregor, Grabham's successor as Inspector-General, attributed overcrowding in the lunatic asylums to the accumulation of old people within. Old people who were 'merely friendless', but who soon became a permanent and expensive charge on central government. MacGregor pointed to the 'disproportionate numbers of our population who at this stage of our history have grown old without contracting family ties', and urged that the newly constituted hospital and charitable aid boards build local refuges to cater for this class. These refuges would be the beginning of aged care facilities in New Zealand.
Benevolent Institutions.
The residential care of the aged in the period 1880—1920 was overwhelmingly the concern of public charity, as represented by the hospital and charitable aid boards. Those who could no longer work or live independently often became residents of benevolent institutions, set up by provincial charitable aid boards from the 1860s. Benevolent institutions were grim, uncomfortable places. They had infirmaries and cancer wards, but inmates suffering from dementia were sent to mental institutions.
After the First World War, life for elderly people in benevolent institutions became more strictly regulated. Inmates were required to surrender all belongings, abstain from alcohol, refrain from using obscene language and spitting on the floor, and bathe at least once a week. Despite all these rules, elderly men in particular often found ways of obtaining liquor – one of the few comforts left to them.
Physical conditions in the homes had improved by 1920, reports of scandal and disorder were less frequent, the gap between staff and inmates had widened, and discipline was exercised more subtly than in the past. But there was still a feeling that the inmates' condition would be far worse outside the institutions and that they should be grateful for any assistance beyond total neglect.
Changes in the sector.
More church-run and private homes emerged after the Second World War, when women began to outnumber men in older age groups. Soon many elderly people lived out the remainder of their lives in rest homes. Also, after the Second World War, consumer organisations of disabled and elderly people and their families emerged. Their lobbying brought about significant changes, including the introduction of 'community care' – integrating previously institutionalised people into their local communities. There was also increased support for elderly people to stay in their own homes as long as possible, rather than entering a rest home – a policy called 'ageing in place'. Although a range of support services were provided, much of the responsibility for this care fell on family members.
By the mid-1970s New Zealand had one of the highest rates of rest-home residency in the Western world.
Community groups and private providers.
Gradually ideas about older people remaining connected with family and community gained wider acceptance. From the 1980s older people were encouraged to continue living in their own homes, with support services such as Meals on Wheels, mobility aids and household help provided by district health boards. Private providers of home-care services also emerged.
Some who could afford it chose to live in retirement villages in small units or flats, with a range of optional support services. This allowed many older people to be independent for longer. Despite the policy of 'ageing in place', those who became unable to care for themselves often needed to move to a rest home eventually.
In 2010 the provision of rest homes was a deregulated and growing industry. While some rest homes were run by churches and charitable trusts, around 75% of the country's 870 rest homes were owned by overseas companies, which worked to make profits for their shareholders.

Springtime Greetings from Haga Palace
A set of four new photographs of Princess Estelle of Sweden and her brother Prince Oscar were released on May 18.
They were taken in the gardens of Haga Palace by Lina Broström, who is a new photographer for the family.
The two colour photos showed Estelle and Oscar together; the first depicted the two children inspecting a flower, and the second showed them happily laughing with one another in the grass. The black and white photos were individual photos of the children; with them both in a tree.
At the same time, Kungahuset also stated that Estelle will start school in August at the Campus Manillas Elementary School in Djurgården.

It was a beautiful winter morning. A foot of new powder turned the snowshoe trails in Peninsula State Park, in Wisconsin's Door County, into a winter wonderland. Branches of evergreen trees had a generous layer of snow frosting. The solitude of the woods was as welcome as a warm blanket tucked around you on a cold night.
No doubt there are hundreds of winter destinations out there to choose from. For a Midwest winter retreat that gives you plenty of opportunity to snowshoe amid a beautiful landscape but also immerses you in a wonderful Cape Cod like atmosphere, than you'll want to keep in mind a winter getaway to Door County Wisconsin.
An easy forty-mile drive from Green Bay brings you to bustling Sturgeon Bay. Once you leave Sturgeon Bay and head out into the open countryside of the Door Peninsula you leave all traces of cookie cutter chain stores, fast food restaurants, and box stores behind. You'll find only unique, independently owned, shops, cafes, art and craft galleries, restaurants and lodging that cater to their visitors no matter the season.
Often called "The Cape Cod of the Midwest," the 75-mile Door Peninsula, with the bay of Green Bay lapping against one shore, and Lake Michigan, lapping against the other, makes for a wonderful winter travel destination. At about 18 miles wide at the widest point it narrows to less than 2 miles at the tip.
With it's over 300 miles of scenic shoreline, almost a dozen historic lighthouses, and over 10,000 acres of state and county parks, Door County has much to offer in the way of its stunning natural beauty and four-season outdoor recreation. A lack of snow is usually not a problem with almost 50 inches of average snowfall, mid December into March, is prime winter recreation time.
When the hustle and bustle of a busy tourist season is behind, local residents wind down into a relaxed winter pace. A quiet calmness settles over the pristine countryside. The acres and acres of cherry and apple orchards, and vineyards are at rest waiting for the warmth of spring. The busy hiking and biking trails that wind through the many state and local parks, nature preserves and sanctuaries, are transformed into miles and miles of snowshoe and cross-country ski trails. The county's state parks tally up more than 50 miles of snowshoeing trails.

Version 0.2 (unreleased). Subject to change in backwards-incompatible ways.
Samovar is a DSL for modelling a world using propositions (facts), and possible events that can occur based on those facts, changing them.
Possible events are described with event rules. Each event rule looks like
and means "If A holds, then X is a possible action to take, and if you do take it, you must make B hold afterwards."
By "hold" we mean "matches the current set of facts."
As an example,
[actor(α),item(β),~holding(α,β)] α picks up the β. [holding(α,β)]
Which can be read
If α is an actor and β is an item and α is not holding β, then one possible action is to write out 'α picks up the β' and assert that α is now holding β.
We can add a complementary rule:
[actor(α),item(β),holding(α,β)] α puts down the β. [~holding(α,β)]
And we can package this all into a scenario:
scenario IgnatzWithBrick {
[actor(α),item(β),~holding(α,β)] α picks up the β. [holding(α,β)]
[actor(α),item(β),holding(α,β)] α puts down the β. [~holding(α,β)]
goal [].
And an implementation of Samovar could take this scenario and use it to, among other things, generate textual descriptions of chains of events like
Ignatz picks up the brick. Ignatz puts down the brick.
Of course, this is a very simple example. A more complex example might have more actors, more items, and more rules (for example, that two actors cannot be holding the same item at the same time.)
Samovar could be described as an "assertion-retraction engine", which itself could be thought of as a highly stylized form of Prolog programming plus some syntactic sugar.
Alternately, it could be thought of as assigning preconditions and postconditions, like you would find in Hoare logic, to actions in a world-model. Instead of proving that the action satisfies the conditions, though, we simply assume it does, and use the conditions to chain actions together in a sensible order.
But really, the internals are far simpler than an inference engine or a theorem prover: there are no logical rules in the database, only propositions, so they can be selected by simple pattern-matching rather than full unification.
- (+) Consider what it would take to add a predicate that evaluates to whether a given action has been taken previously or not.
- (+) Consider macros.
- Output scenarios to JSON.
- Python 3 support.
- Allow comments in source file. Probably
- Say that Greek letter variables are exactly equivalent to
?rho, etc.
!for not.
- Consider a simple equality rule.
- Consider allowing
- Take AST code from SixtyPical or ALPACA (or try to do better, perhaps with named tuples, but this is probably madness and not at all worth doing)
Probably we don't do
- (+) Allow sentence trees to be given for actions.
- (+) Allow scenarios to specify a minimum number of events to generate.

The South Carolina Department of Social Services (DSS) has implemented a new direction with foster parenting. DSS' recruitment efforts include retaining current resource family homes and increasing the number of homes throughout the state. DSS is also striving to recruit families who are willing to assist both children and birth families. The Center is collaborating with DSS to help the agency reach its goals.
Recruiting resource parents begins with retention. To do this, DSS has created the Regional Resource Family Support Unit. According to Beth Mullins, Director of the Support Units, "These units will play a critical role in ensuring resource families have the tools and knowledge they need to make the foster care experience the best it can be for their own family, and especially for the children that they will care for in their homes." The Center and DSS have developed the Supporting Resource Families training to explain the role of the support units and the many ways they can offer assistance and reassurance to resource families.
Along with the Supporting Resource Families training, the Center and DSS have developed the Shared Parenting training to reflect the shift in resource family recruitment. As Beth Mullins explains, "We are being more intentional in our recruitment. That means we are recruiting resource families who better serve the children's needs: geographically, socially, and therapeutically."
The Shared Parenting training further emphasizes a need for foster families to act as resources and to serve as a support to both the children in care and to the birth families. Carla Tunnell, a DSS Performance Coach and a trainer of Shared Parenting, explains the benefit of this training: "The Shared Parenting training can encourage everyone involved in a DSS foster care case to work as a team and to ultimately take part in the reunification process."
In addition to training, the Center has been instrumental in helping DSS create a unified recruitment campaign. According to Ginger Cassell, a Multimedia Developer with the Center's Information Design team, "We are designing and producing all types of collateral materials to help DSS with its foster care recruitment efforts across the state." These materials include flyers, brochures, postcards, displays, and a variety of promotional items like t-shirts, cups, and key chains.
DSS' new approach to recruitment has a direct impact on the welfare of children in South Carolina. According to Deborah McKnight, a resource parent for thirty years who has parented over 100 children, becoming a resource parent can also affect more than just the children in care: "I think it's important for people to become foster parents to bring about a change. We're trying to bring about a change in ourselves and we want to bring a change in our society. If we can make a difference in that child's life, then we can make a difference in the future."

February is heart health month. If you are like many, the determination of a New Year's resolution to lose weight and be healthier may already be starting to wane. The following should give your resolve to lose or maintain a healthy weight an extra nudge, and provide a different perspective on heart health.
Many lifestyle factors influence heart health. In addition to regular exercise, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, omega-3 fatty acids from fish and nuts, antioxidants like vitamins C and E, minerals like calcium and magnesium, CoEnzyme Q10, plant phytonutrients, and dietary fiber are all essential for a healthy heart.
Some factors that have a negative impact on heart health include:
- Smoking
- Excessive alcohol intake
- Unmanaged stress
- Inactivity
- Nutrient poor diets
By far the most important factor negatively affecting heart health is excess body weight.
Previously, it was thought that fat was inert. But, being overweight or obese is not just a cosmetic problem. Now scientists understand that fat, especially intra-abdominal fat (belly fat), has a significant impact on metabolism, and greatly raises the risk for other health problems.
A recent meta-analysis involving 300,000 people showed that being overweight (BMI 25-29.9) boosted the risk of cardiovascular disease by 32%, and obesity (BMI > 30) increased the risk by 81%. Specifically, atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, is present 10 times more often in obese people compared to normal weight individuals. Sudden cardiac death in obese adults can be as much as 40 times higher than for non-obese adults. None of this should really come as a surprise to most of us.
How does weight affect heart disease
The heart is a muscle that functions as a pump to circulate blood through the arteries and veins of the body. Blood carries oxygen and nutrients to all tissues of the body, except the corneas of the eyes. To do this, each day an average heart pumps approximately 2,000 gallons of blood through 60,000 miles of vessels in the circulatory system of a normal weight adult.
To help illustrate how the heart and vascular system work to supply nutrients to every tissue of the body, I will use the analogy of a large garden.
Picture a huge garden. On an American Football field it stretches from a goal line to the 27 yard line, and from sideline to sideline. In order to cover every inch of it you have an extensive configuration of soaking hoses, one small electric pump the size of a small cantaloupe, and a water source that contains the nutrients and fertilizer needed for optimal growth of the garden plants. Each day, enough nutrient rich-water (2,000 gallons) is pumped through the system to cover this entire area inch deep. This is essentially what the heart is doing day after day, year after year. As long as the pump is maintained and the system stays clean, the water and nutrients will be efficiently supplied to every inch and the entire garden will flourish.
The first consequence of increased body weight on the heart is the increased blood volume (increased garden size). New tissue needs blood supply, so the vascular system expands to accommodate it. This also means the heart must work harder to pump blood through the new network, which may reduce oxygenation and nutrient replenishment in other tissues. For such rapid expansion, there must be a very active production of blood vessels to deliver oxygen, and in fact, every single fat cell is surrounded by capillaries. It is estimated that each additional pound of fat requires a mile of new blood vessels.
In our analogy, for each additional yard of garden, more hoses, nutrients and water are required, but the expanded garden is still nourished by the same small pump.
Overeating and obesity lead to elevated levels of free fatty acids and triglycerides in the blood stream and tissues, and contribute to diminished insulin sensitivity, atherosclerosis, and high blood pressure. Insulin insensitivity compromises the ability of the nutrients to get into the tissues to provide nourishment and energy.
Too much of the wrong nutrients getting into the vessels cause a waxy substance called plaque to build up inside the arteries. This begins to narrow and may eventually block the arteries. In order to compensate for the decreased flow, blood pressure increases. As the walls of the arteries try to defend themselves against the increased force of blood, they become stiffer, thicker, and narrower. This vicious cycle can lead to heart attack, stroke, and many other complications.
In our analogy, if oil, dirt and grease are pumped through the hoses in the garden, hoses and holes will begin to get clogged, reducing the water and nutrients to parts of the garden. Parts of the garden not getting sufficient nutrients and water will begin to die. Trying to compensate and pump more fluid through the hoses will only serve to clog it worse, and weak spots in the hoses can even crack or break.
Obesity can also damage the heart itself. The increased volume of blood requires the heart to pump a greater volume of blood with each heartbeat, putting extra strain on the heart. Additionally, the heart is an electrical organ that requires a series of electrical impulses that regulate heart muscle contractions. Obesity can disrupt this natural pacemaker and cause abnormal heart rhythms called arrhythmias. If severe, this can cause the heart to stop beating (cardiac arrest).
So, not only can the increased workload put strain on the electrical pump, but dirt, grease and grime can damage it enough that eventually the pump will stop working completely.
The good news is, there are simple steps we can take to re-establish a healthy cardiovascular system (garden).
First of all, losing weight will reduce the size of the garden. During weight loss, the body breaks down and reabsorbs the unneeded blood vessels from previous tissue. In addition to reducing the amount of dirt and grime going into the system, healthy nutrients (vitamins, phytonutrients, antioxidants, fiber) can help unclog, repair, strengthen and protect the entire system. Maintaining the health of the pump and system through regular exercise and cleaning will help ensure the pump works effectively, uninterrupted year after year as you reap the maximum benefit from every square inch of your garden.
If a smaller pant size or lower number on the scale are not motivation enough, remember that for every pound of fat lost you are getting rid of a mile or more of blood vessels, reducing the load on your heart, and enabling a higher quality of nutritional support to your whole body.

I haven't shared any of the postings that I've found particularly entertaining or informative in a while – and as we were reminded earlier this week in the Mom Song, sharing is important. And of course at the same time I have a few more photos to share from the trip to Napoli. These are various doors throughout the city – many on Via Toledo and the Centro Storico.
- In honour of last week's celebration of World Nutella Day, Michelle has done a Nutella Round Up. Its chock-a-block with links to recipes, articles, photos and ephemera concerning the world favorite chocolate and hazelnut spread. And apparently plans are already under way for next year's festivities.
- Though Sunday's here seem to be taken up with lunching with friends I've missed Sunday drives with Jeff. He hadn't done one in a while but at the beginning of the month took us down Saticoy Avenue of Boogie Nights fame.
- I've been come very addicted to Margaret and Helen, particularly since Helen has decided to take it upon herself to read the latest book by Ann Coulter. She gives us, and Margaret, a Cole's notes version of La Coulter's magnum opus saving us from having to buy it in the remainders bin and giving Ms Coulter so much as a red penny.
And very thoughtfully she's posted pretty much by chapter:
- Ann Coulter Almost Failed Obedience School
- Come Ann Coulter or High Water
- Does Ann Coulter Have Opposable Thumbs
- If Ann Coulter falls in the forest and nobody hears her.. can we just leave her there?
Thanks Helen, you should be writing book reviews for the New York Times. But you also raise the question: Should Ann Coulter be writing at all?
- My friend LotusGreen over at Japonisme has been featuring the work of Arthur Wesley Dow since the beginning of the month. Dow was an American painter, printmaker, photographer, and extremely influential arts educator. Amongst his students and disciples he numbered Georgia O'Keefe and he was a leader in the American Arts and Crafts movement.

Arrest warrant issued for celebrity doctor
A federal bankruptcy judge issued an arrest warrant Thursday for Dr. Arnold "Arnie'' Klein in connection with an extravagant collection of artwork missing from the cosmetic dermatologist's oceanfront Laguna Beach house, which was sold last week for $7.1 million.
The warrant said the doctor, who filed for bankruptcy protection two years ago, failed to turn over the art from homes in Laguna and Palm Springs as required in the bankruptcy case. Klein also did not deliver a Ferrari 360 Spyder with the license plate "Got BTOX'' that he had been ordered to take to an auto dealer in Newport Beach, the warrant alleged.
Klein's art collection includes two works by Pablo Picasso as well as by Claes Oldenburg and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, which all had been in the Laguna Beach house, according to documents in the bankruptcy case. He also owned works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Auguste Rodin, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and David Hockney, according to court records.
In issuing the arrest warrant, U.S Bankruptcy Court Judge Richard M. Neiter found Klein to be in contempt of court.
Klein's celebrity patients have included pop star Michael Jackson and actress Elizabeth Taylor. His home on Coast Highway in South Laguna sold as part of the bankruptcy case.
Klein filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2011. He listed $30.5 million in assets against $6.8 million in liabilities. He said he earned $2.5 million annually in each of the three preceding years from his medical practice.
Dubbed "the father of Botox,'' Klein helped develop a technique for injecting the wrinkle smoother and is credited with pioneering the procedure for lip augmentation in the early 1980s. His association with Michael Jackson has been the subject of numerous news and television reports. Klein's one-time nurse Debbie Rowe is the mother of Jackson's children, Prince and Paris.
A January 2012 report in the Los Angeles Times chronicled Klein's troubles in recent years, including a medical board investigation, lawsuits, poor health and the bankruptcy. In addition to the homes in Laguna and Palm Springs, the story said Klein had a $9 million house in Los Angeles.
His contemporary 3,572-square foot house in Laguna Beach was listed at $12 million two years ago – far less than its recent sale for $7.1 million. The three-bedroom home has floor-to-ceiling views of the Pacific Ocean, including one from the shower in the master bathroom.
The top floor of the house is dedicated to the master bedroom suite, which includes a living area, solarium, a double-sided fireplace and built-in multi-media center. The kitchen is equipped with a Wolf stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator and dual ovens. The house has a wine cellar, gym, and outdoor spa, along with direct access to the beach.
A listing once described the home as "designed for entertaining on a regal scale with uncompromising views and the highest levels of privacy." At street level, only a motor court with two garage doors can be seen beyond the property's gate.
The house was sold as part of the bankruptcy proceedings, according to Gregory Bingham of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, who co-listed the home with David McCulloch of the same firm. The buyer's agent was Sharon Katouli of Teles Properties.

Location name in ticket list as a field
Would be very helpful for multiple locations if there was a "Location" heading in the ticket view list. We have 5 locations and adding 2 more soon...would be extremely helpful from a quick dashboard view of tickets to see the location that it corresponds to.

This appears to have been completed.

Just to clarify.....the invoices page has "Location" presently as the last row/header item....seems like this could easily be added to tickets as well.

Presenting Skully, the third member of my Gigalion expansion from Kingdom Death. She likes skulls and has a pet rock.
I think this is the weakest of the Survivors, it's not a bad mini but it's a bit of an awkward sculpt that doesn't make a whole lot of sense out of context. Was still fun to paint though.
As always, any comments or criticisms are warmly received.

Pulled this guy out of the current round of the Box of Goodwill and painted him up over the course of two evenings.
I apologize for the low quality photos, but I've had such low drive to get pictures taken lately that I just wanted to break the ice and get the ball rolling.

This model is a Dark Sword Miniatures masterpiece of a sculpt by Jeff Grace. Never before have I seen so many tiny etchings on plate armor, especially on a figure that is barely 1.6 inches high. I feel a bit let down by my red OSL, but then again, this was only my second real attempt at the process, which is surely one I need to practice more.
By Citrine
In my quest to paint up every race class combination, I tackled this fun mini from Oathsworn Miniatures. One bad thing about pre-painting dragonborn is that they have unique powers based on their dragon color, so how likely is it that someone want to pick this mini in blue for the character? Oh well, another one down!

Orlando Pirates return to PSL action on Wednesday night as they make the trip to the Mbombela Stadium to take on SuperSport United.
The Sea Robbers kicked off their campaign with a satisfying 3-1 home win over Bloemfontein Celtic on the opening Saturday.
Mzwanele Mahase had pulled the visitors level before half time following Augustine Mulenga's early opening goal.
But second half efforts from Innocent Maela and Gabadinho Mhango ensured a profitable opening to the new season.
Less enjoyable was last weekend's CAF Champions League preliminary round 1-0 first leg loss to Zambian side Green Eagles.
But boss Milutin Sredojevic reckons his side are on to something despite their packed early schedule, having been pipped to the South African title by Mamelodi Sundowns last season.
The Serbian coach said: "People could speak this or that, we will just say visible trophies are around the corner. Invisible trophies that we've succeeded in is that we lifted our criteria and standards of our team.
"Once those criteria and standards are achieved and we have reached the level that we want, in that moment even trophies and other things will come.
"So, instead of thinking about [the trophies], I will repeat that criteria and standards are something we are rushing to catch. We want to be the trophy-material team, which we are not far from."
Higher standards are also on the agenda for SuperSport, who suffered opening day defeat to Pitso Mosimane's reigning champions.
The 2-0 loss has left them scratching round at the foot of the early table, albeit with a game in hand on many.
But a Clayton Daniels goal did give them three points over Pirates in this fixture last season at the same venue, sealing a rare defeat for the Buccaneers.

When in Rome
By Ian Forbes
1 Comment
You should have had me sign a pre-nup … now you die.
Theatrical Release Date: 01/29/2010
Director: Mark Steven Johnson
Cast: Kristen Bell, Josh Duhamel, Anjelica Huston, Will Arnett, Danny DeVito, Jon Heder, Dax Shepard, Alexis Dziena, Kate Micucci, Lee Pace
After seeing "Daredevil" and "Ghost Rider", I can't say I was expecting a great deal out of director Mark Steven Johnson's latest film, "When in Rome". That's a good thing because I didn't get much in return for parking my petootie in a seat for an hour and a half.
The basic set-up is that Kristin Bell is a workaholic curator for the Guggenheim, stressed she'll mess up the big fundraising Gala and incur the wrath of her boss, Anjelica Huston (doing her best Meryl Streep impression a la "The Devil Wears Prada"). She travels to Italy for her sister's wedding and falls for Josh Duhamel, one of the groomsmen. As fate and a tired script would have it, things go awry and through alcohol, poor judgement and the same tired script, she ends up taking a few coins from a fountain of love.
Of course (and by that I mean because otherwise there'd be no movie), there's an Italian curse of sorts that makes all the people whose coins Bell fished out fall in love with her. Now if one of the five coins she pulled had been from a hot woman, then I might have changed my tune but why complicate the script with the more logical idea that at least 20% of the people throwing coins into a fountain wishing for love are women? Geez, what kind of reality am I living in? The men then profess their love and go chasing after her and the film then goes on as one might expect – if you need me to draw up a road map, you shouldn't even be driving.
Now, while I can't really recommend this one to any but the more hardcore rom-com crowd, I will say that some of the supporting performances had some good moments. While Bell and Duhamel don't spark much more than a votive candle and bringing in his "Napoleon Dynamite" buddy Efren Ramirez didn't help me 'enjoy' Jon Heder's inclusion, I did find myself smiling and even a chuckle or two escaped for some of the work by Will Arnett, Dax Shepard and Danny DeVito.
Each of the three take their characters up a notch, embellishing on the rather tepid dialogue with their own spin to the roles. Whether it's Arnett's Italian accent and preference for painting full body nudes on a building facade, Shepard's male model self-love being surpassed by the spell of love for Bell or DeVito being a sausage king (though not of Chicago), each gave me some reason to keep from rolling my eyes completely into the back of my head.
Still, that doesn't change the fact that I'm not sure why Johnson continues to get feature film director gigs. All of his films look like they were made straight for cable and this is no exception. Producers could probably save a lot of money if they didn't have to spring for all the distribution costs and marketing involved in a theatrical release … just a thought (and plea of sorts). The camera set-ups are nothing you wouldn't see at home on the couch saved on your DVR and the "magical" fantasy aspect of the premise never came through. For an example of how to do that right, see "Enchanted" – though it is a bit like comparing apples and actual films.
I'm sure that the hardcore romantic comedy fans who aren't as jaded will look past the flaws and embrace the sweet, chewy center of the film. However, although I found a certain amount of glucose goodness here, it all came together in a package as bland as dry toast and I can't give "When in Rome" any more than a 2 out of 5. If you must see a romantic comedy right now, you're better off with "Leap Year", and even then I think you're better off with something off the DVD shelf.

N.O. Saints Hall Of Fame Quaterback Bobby Hebert
custom N.F.L. figure in custom packaging
I have began doing my own custom-made New Orleans Saints N.F.L. action figures. McFarlane Sportspicks only has done the Saints running back, Deuce McAllister so far. They are putting out a Joe Horn figure this fall. I made a custom Bobby Hebert. He was one of my favorite Saints players, and a true cajun from Cut Off, LA. He was the Saints quarterback in the mid-1980s to early 1990s. The first quarterback to help get them into the playoffs. His nickname was "The Cajun Cannon". I have finished my second Saints figure, wide receiver Joe Horn #87. I also made custom figures of my two brothers from their high school football team, the Abbeville Wildcats, in Abbeville, LA. I made them as Christmas gifts. I am very proud of them, and my brothers love them.
I painted over the Jets figure with Saints colors.
It went from green and white to black and gold.
Patrick's custom high school football figure.
He played offensive and defensive tackle.
My second custom, Saints wide receiver Joe Horn.
This one turned out great. I'm very proud of it. He's the Saints best WR, #87 Joe Horn.
A custom figure of Saints great Archie Manning.
This one was made for me by Derek Howell, an eBay seller. Great work!
A custom of current Saints QB, Aaron Brooks.
This figure was made by Vincent "theevilgenius57" = seller name on eBay.
A custom of former Saints QB, Jake Delhomme.
He's now with the Carolina Panthers. This figure was made by Derek Howell. Another great custom!
Jake Delhomme #17. Carolina Panthers starting QB.
My two brothers with custom figures I made.
Scott played center, Patrick played tackle for Abbeville High School in Abbeville, LA.

This week Facebook finalised its acquisition of WhatsApp for the total of $22bn which is what prompted David Miliband, the former foreign secretary to tweet this:
Facebook raised $19b to buy Whatsapp,more than the total spend around the world on the humanitarian effort in 1 year: http://t.co/hIazm7rPO1
— David Miliband (@DMiliband) October 8, 2014
It's pretty startling at first, but that one statistic really does tell you more about the world than a million could. David Miliband is now CEO of the International Rescue Committee which helps those suffering from humanitarian crises around the world rebuild their lives.
WhatsApp purchase v humanitarian aid spending
Values in $bn
As of October 9th 2014 only $8.46bn of the $17.23bn needed for humanitarian aid has been raised this year. It is a sobering thought that we now live in a world were tech companies such as Facebook have the ability to acquire and spend more money on one app than is being spent on combating some of the worlds biggest crises.

If you haven't seen/heard of Designers.mx before, consider this your introduction. Designers.mx was started and run by graphic designer Blake Allen and web designer/developer Josh Sullivan, both based in Nashville, TN.
Here's how they explain what this is all about:
Mixes created and designed, by designers. Designers.MX is about discovering new music. Music that drives our favorite designers, and allowing them to create a unique cover design for each of their individual playlists. A daily music and design masterpiece.
So each chosen designer picks ten songs, and designs album art for that mix. I have been listening and admiring these mixes and pieces of design since I found out about the site. A fantastic idea that keeps growing. Plus, if indie rock isn't your thing, there are other types of music represented…but there is plenty of indie rock, from what I've listen to so far. I'm excited to watch this site and community grow. Music and design are two peas in a pod, which has been laid out over a 3/6 grid, using a sans serif typeface and utilizing white space.

- "value for money"
This course was well presented. The instructor was very encouraging and gave everyone time to go at their own pace. Looking forward to putting these new skill to practice. My only gripe about the course is I would have liked a handout to take home. it was difficult to either write/photograph the stages and follow instructions. it would have been helpful to be able to have a prompt for future reference. having said that I enjoyed the course and will be looking at booking future courses.

- "Game changer"
My lack of ability to insert a zip has prevented me from sewing for years. This course has changed all that. Corrie is extremely encouraging and enables you to work are your own pace. The course is well structured, the instructions very clear and all the support required is provided. I am now looking forward to put what I have learned into practice.

- "New confidence with zips"
I thoroughly enjoyed my day learning how to insert 4 different types of zip. Corrie structured the day to suit everyone's abilities. I now feel confident enough to tackle all garments no matter which zip is required.
For me this was money well spent.

- "I loved this course."
Before I went on this course I always worried about putting in zips, it seemed to me that zips were complicated, and if you messed them up, they would ruin all your hard work.
The day was structured really well, paced so that everyone felt they were learning at the right speed, and nothing was too much of a hassle to our tutor, she really made the day a fun experience.
Now I mostly use concealed zips, and have stopped procrastinating when I need to put a zip in!!

MOUNT VERNON — Mount Vernon Nazarene University's theater program, MVNU Theatre, presents "The Matchmaker" written by Thornton Wilder and directed by Keely Heyl. Wilder is best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning plays "Our Town" and "The Skin of Our Teeth." In this comedic play that inspired the musical "Hello, Dolly!," a wealthy merchant hires a matchmaker to help him find a wife. Hilarity ensues as she becomes entangled in mischief with two of the merchant's clerks, several ladies, and a pair of waiters at the finest restaurant in town.
Performances will be on Friday, Nov. 3; Saturday, Nov. 4; Friday, Nov. 10; and Saturday, Nov. 11. All performances begin at 7:30 p.m. in Thorne Performance Hall inside the R.R. Hodges Chapel on the campus of MVNU.
Heyl approaches "The Matchmaker" with innovative staging that couches the original story within a secondary story.
About the production, Heyl stated, "It's going to be a delightful adventure from start to finish. If you have seen the play or 'Hello, Dolly!,' leave what you know at home. This will not be the same. While we are not the first cast to do a production this way, I think I can say we are the first ones to do this play this way. Your cheeks will be sore from smiling. There is a lot of darkness in this world, we aim to turn a few lights on and have a great time."
Heyl, a 2013 graduate of Cedarville University with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre, has extensive experience working with various theatres in the central Ohio area.
The performance on Saturday, Nov. 4, will be super-titled in Spanish.
Tickets for all performances may be purchased online at theatre.mvnu.edu, by phone at 740-397-9000, ext. 1620, or at the box office beginning one hour prior to sho time. Seating opens approximately 30 minutes prior to showtime.
"The Matchmaker" is the first production of MVNU Theatre's 2017-18 season. Season tickets and flex passes are available. For more information, visit theatre.mvnu.edu, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or call the MVNU Theatre box office at 740-397-9000, ext. 1620.

Summary[edit | edit source]
All Home Planets of GRAV share the same set of moons. These are Somber Moon, Ominous Moon, Grim Moon, Bleak Moon, Forsaken Moon, Callous Moon, Desolate Moon and Sinister Moon. Moons can be accessed by using a Moon Stargate and are recommended for player levels from 13 - 30. Moons are one of the very few places where plasma can be harvested.
Surviving can be difficult for new players due to the low oxygen environment. It is advisable to craft enough Cans of Air (via Kitchenette) until the Plasma Armor or Gem Armor is obtained. Once a complete set of Plasma Armor or Gem Armor is equiped, consuming cans of air is no longer necessary.
Moons feature a significantly lower gravity than found on home planets and therefore offer a completely different gameplay experience.
Gallery[edit | edit source]
Purple atmosphere with large rock loops. Is an excellent location for harvesting wood.
Controversy[edit | edit source]
Moons are a rather controversial place for two main reasons
- Since moons are shared among all home planets, there are usually a lot of players on the moon at peak times. This often leads to players with a higher rank hunting down low level players. The moon is a good place to farm different resources (such as wood and plasma) but a rather dangerous one as well.
- Moons are often taxed by different players or sometimes even by a single player exclusively. Because of their potential profitability, tax rates on moons tend to be very high. Area Totems are frequently destroyed on moons because of this.
