In this topic I'll talk about the turn phases.
1) There is a strict sequence of phases within every turn of the combat.
2) In each phase there are specific actions you can do with your hero.
3) When you're done with the actions, you can click on the proceed button in order to move to the next phase of the turn.
4) Every phase lasts for 30 seconds. If you don't click the proceed button within these 30 seconds, you will automatically move to the next phase of the turn.
5) When you play against an AI opponent or against a Single Player Campaign
opponent, you have unlimited amount of time for every phase. This is valid if you play against a human player opponent - in Ranking Game or in Challenge Game.
6) There are some differences in the phases you move through, when you act first and when you act second in the combat:
a) When you act first the sequence of phases is:
- Draw cards phase
- Equip cards phase
- Attack phase
- Dismiss phase
b) When you act second the sequence of phases is:
- Draw cards phase
- Defense phase
- Dismiss phase
7) The Draw cards phase is equal for both the heroes (it is irrelevant does the hero act first or second). During this phase you can draw up to 3 cards from the Random Deck AND/OR from your custom Collector Deck and collect them in your hand. If you don't have enough space in your hand you will be able to draw the number ofcards which is equal to the number of currently free card slots in your hand (see example 1).
8) In the very first turn the Draw card phase for both the heroes is more specific. In it they can fill their whole hand slots (see example 2).
9) The Equip cards phase appears only for the hero who acts first in the current turn. During this phase you can equip buff cards in your buff area.
10) The Attack phase is the moment when you can actually play up to 2 non-buff cards, by selecting them from your hand and putting them in the play area in the center of the combat table.
11) The Defense phase is same as the Attack phase - you can play up to 2 non-buff cards, by selecting them from your hand and putting them in the play area in the center of the combat table.
12) There are two differences between the Attack and the Defense phase:
a) If in the current turn the heroes kill each other, the hero, who acts first and had played attack phase will win the combat and the hero who acts second will lose the combat.
b) The player who acts second in any turn and will play a defense phase has the obvious tactical advantage to see what his opponent has played in the play area before making a decision what cards to play by himself.
13) The Dismiss phase is equal for both the heroes. During this phase you can dismiss up to 1 card from your hand, by putting it in the dismiss area of the table. By doing this, you can free some slots from your hand, throwing away a card, that you don't want to play.
14) The damage calculations occur between the Defense phase and the Dismiss phase of the hero who acts second. If at least one of the heroes is killed in the current turn, i.e. this will be the last turn of the combat, after the damage calculations there is no a dismiss phase for the hero who acts second (the dismiss phase is skipped whoever hero win the combat)
15) In every turn there are phases, in which you make some actions, and your opponent waits for your actions and phases in which you wait for his actions. During a phase, in which your opponent makes his moves, you cannot make any actions that affect the combat.
16) Nevertheless during every phase (even in those in which your opponent acts), you can:
a) Zoom in and zoom out any of the cards from your hand, your buff area, your opponent's buff area, your play area, your opponent's play area, your active cards and your opponent's active cards.
b) Click on your and on your opponent's avatar to check your and respectively your opponent's hero stats and skills.
c) Adjust the game music options.
d) Chat with your opponent.
e) Check the battle log information.
f) Surrender.
Example 1:
Player A has 7 card slots in his hand. In the current turn he has 5 cards in his hand (collected in previous turns). In the Draw card phase he can collect 1 or 2 cards from the Random Deck and/or Collector Deck, because he has only 2 free card slots in his hand (7-5=2)
Example 2:
Player A has 7 card slots in his hand. In the very first turn he can collect up to 7 cards from the Random Deck and/or the Collector Deck. In each following turn he will be able to draw not more than 3 cards.
That's it, check the other topics as well!

Has Kathie Lee Gifford Had Plastic Surgery?
Some people believe that Kathie Lee Gifford, best known for her 15-year run (1985–2000) on the talk show Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee, had undergone a plastic surgery to maintain her youthful look.
It is not secret anymore that A lot of women worry about the appearance of aging signs on their face such as fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet. Many of them will do everything to get rid of these aging signs though they have to take the extreme way like plastic surgery.
RELATED: Christie Brinkley Plastic Surgery
And, looking at Kathie Lee Gifford's appearance, she seemed to have some cosmetic surgery procedures done to her face such as botox, facelift, cheek implants, nose job, and boob job, so that her appearance can still look amazing for her age. See the picture comparisons below!
What do you think? Does her appearance look natural? Can you see the sign of plastic surgery on Kathie Lee Gifford's face?
Look at the skin around her face and neck! It still appears tight and smooth without a lot of wrinkles, indicating the use of Botox injection and facelift.
On the other hand, if we pay attention to the shape of her nose and breast size, they have also changed in size. Kathie Lee Gifford breast now looks bigger than before, as well as her nose.
Kathie Lee Gifford nose might not really change drastically. Nonetheless, the changes are very clear. Some may argue that the change of her nose could be due to makeup, but if pay attention closely to the change of her nose, it really looks like the result of nose job.
In short, if the rumor of Kathie Lee Gifford plastic surgery was really true, she must thank to her surgeon who had worked well for her surgical procedures. Her appearance still looks great for a 63-year-old woman. What do you think?

There are always so many events during the holiday season. It can sometimes be difficult to keep on top of them all and overwhelming to try and choose which ones to attend. Well, all this week on KristinPotPie I will feature several of my picks for festive holiday outings perfect for memory-making. Some will be Seattle area-only events, but hopefully you will be inspired to find something similar in your city.
This Thursday, December 1st, from 6-9 pm, all West Elm stores across the country are co-hosting, along with the craft seller's website Etsy, a benefit Handmade Holiday Workshop and Craft Fair. Each store's event will benefit a different local non-profit.
During the events there will be an "Etsy Mini-Market" comprised of local Etsy sellers who will set up shop and sell their handmade goods – perfect for all of your holiday shopping! See details of the local Etsy crafters below:

Seattle's event will benefit the Ronald McDonald House. There will be light refreshments while a local Etsy craft leader shows guests how to make beautiful ornaments. These ornaments will be added to the tree that the store is creating for the Ronald McDonald House.
Additionally, as part of West Elm's focus on giving back, the store is hosting an Ornament and Gift Drive through December 4th. During this time, customers are encouraged to buy an ornament (or make one at the event on 12/1) to decorate the tree that will go to the Ronald McDonald House. You can also purchase gifts to fill the baskets around the tree. The tree, ornaments, and gifts will be delivered to the Ronald McDonald House on December 5th.
The Seattle store is located on South Lake Union at 2201 Westlake.
Check out your store here to see what local charity and which local Etsy artists will be in attendance. I am so excited to see you there!

We live in a society that is obsessed with improving schools while showing little interest in reducing poverty and homelessness, lowering unemployment and raising wages, or addressing the daily humiliations people of color and the poor face in the criminal justice system and the prison industrial complex. Should we therefore be surprised the the "reforms" the elite suggest ( note the latest Joel Klein/Condaleeza Rice report) invariably take power away from teachers and subject students to increasing regimentation. We, as a nation, cannot afford to have students revolt against the conditions in their neighborhoods or policies that steadily narrow their economic options. So lets make their schools more like prisons and deluge them with tests! Think this is wrong? Then help us get rid of the nations Master Tester, Arne Duncan

There's a new bride-to-be joining the Black Bridal Bliss Family for our beloved Road to Mrs. blog! (WOO HOO) Keep reading to meet Keisa–and be sure to show her lots of Triple B love in the comments.
The Road to Mrs. – Bridesmaids, DIY & Bonding, Oh My!
My cousin and maid of honor Jana, recently graduated from college. With a degree in drama and her eyes set on becoming an actress, she relocated to Los Angeles. Leonard and I agreed to allow Jana to live with us short term while she established herself in L.A. I quickly came with ideas on how she could earn her room and board. With just a few weeks until the wedding, I had several DIY projects that I'd saved with the expectation of having free labor. Jana was barely in the door before I mentioned my plans to put her to work. She was more than eager to help and jumped right in. [Read more…]
The Road to Mrs. – Introducing Bride-to-Be, Nicole!
Ladies and gents, it is time for me to pass the Road to Mrs. baton. Now that I'm officially a Mrs., I'm happy to present to you Triple B's latest resident bride-to-be, Nicole! She's a bubbly Los Angeles-based attorney who is preparing to wed a member of the Armed Forces (Air Force to be exact) and ecstatic to share her wedding planning highs and lows with us every Thursday for the next few months. After reading her first post below, give her a warm Triple B welcome in the comments. (Thanks in advance!) [Read more…]
Bridgette's Wedding Day Countdown: 8 Days Left!
Happy Friday! Guess what? I'm scheduled to jump the broom a week from tomorrow. That's right! One. Week. From. Tomorrow. Although I've been blogging on Triple B for Road to Mrs. periodically, I have managed to remain sorta tight-lipped about the details of my wedding. (When it is all said and done there will actually be two weddings but more on that later.) My good friend Lisa pointed out my covertness the other night over calamari and catfish tenders. Our convo went something like this:
Lisa: Bridge, people will relate to you more on BBB if you shared the details of your day-to-day.
Me: Yeah, but you know I'm kinda private and so is Mr. TK. Plus, I have been blogging about it in Road to Mrs.
Lisa: (rolling her eyes) That's not enough. You launched a bridal blog and you're getting married. You've shared so many details about other brides yet you're keeping all the good stuff about yourself to yourself. That could turn people off.
Me: Oh.
Lisa: How about a countdown! That's fun and exciting and you can be honest about all the ish you still have to do. Be vulnerable like you were when you first announced you were engaged. People will relate to that.
Me: Genius!
And so here it is, folks. The first day of my 1 week wedding day countdown. I even plan to blog tomorrow. (Not Sunday though. The buck has to stop somewhere.) Below is my to-do list for today. Let's see how much of this I can actually get accomplished. [Read more…]
The Road to Mrs. – 60 Day Countdown!
One of the most nerve-racking things about blending two families is hoping everyone gets along. As I have stated before both my mother and Shawn's mother live out of town. So the opportunity to get everyone together at the same time had never presented itself. My mother came to New York in June. While she was here we took that time to introduce her to his grandmother and aunt. Success!!! I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. They all bonded instantly. It was a prayerful, crying (tears of joy) good time. Everyone got along so well we had to pull them apart or they would have had church way into the night. Out of all the possible wedding day stressors, the God family drama won't be one of them. [Read more…]
The Road to Mrs. – Is My Side Hustle Hurting My Diet?
Being an upcoming bride, who is trying to lose weight for my big day, my relationship with food is a constant struggle. Although I am getting married I know food and weight issues are definitely not exclusive to a bride. [Read more…]
The Road to Mrs. – Nadine & Sean's Love Shoot
Hey Triple B! Need to relieve wedding planning stress? Try a beachside love shoot! If you know our story, then our beach location should come as no surprise. It's where we got engaged and is our favourite place to be on a beautiful day. Last Saturday we headed to one of the best beaches in Toronto, Ashbridge's Bay. It was important for us to have our good friend and Sean's best man Jose Roldan capture the moment. Special thanks as well to my friend, the multi-talented Natasha Waterman for doing my hair and makeup. And I've been instructed by Sean to send a very special shout out to our camera, the Canon Rebel T2i which Jose used to take our photos. Yes, you read that right…our camera. I mean who sends a shout out to their camera? Sean said all the guys out there would get it. Sigh…
Enjoy the photos!
The Road to Mrs.: I Lost 50lbs in 7 Months!
If you clicked on this post because you're tired of popping diet pills, losing money on gym memberships you rarely use, and drinking concoctions that taste awful, I'll be honest with you. I'm not about to preach about some secret diet. I didn't do anything you haven't tried before. [Read more…]

What Do Brightoners Think About the EU Referendum?
We spoke to your lovely faces about the upcoming EU referendum on Thur 23rd June, whether you'll be voting In or Out, and what you think about the whole thing. Here are your responses:
Al, 42, said: "It's probably better to stay in for a little country like ours to compete in the world. If we left we'd probably end up more in debt. And the European Humans Rights Act is important to me."
"I haven't made up my mind yet." – Anonymous
"I've yet to be convinced by either side." – Anonymous
"I'm voting Stay because it would affect us with international relations." – Anonymous
Lynn, 70, said: "There aren't enough facts about the EU Referendum, but everyone's got opinions about it. And I don't like how the In campaign is being run. I'm thinking of my grandchildren when I vote In. We don't feel European with some of our leaders in Parliament saying the things they say. But I don't feel we should be on our own, so I'll vote In."
Emma, 22, remained uncertain, she said: "Big changes are not needed right now. I think they just need to keep the people happy."
We were only able to find one Out voter, who wished to remain anonymous. When asked what convinced them of their vote, they replied: "immigration."
One anonymous In voter said: "I'll vote In because we live in Europe. I don't trust we can get trade with Australia, and the Tories are liars. Especially George Osborne, I don't trust that he's reduced the deficit, he's borrowing so much that we'll be left with more debt. I don't trust his plans for the NHS, I don't trust the cuts for junior doctors."

The best vanilla in the world comes from Tahiti, and Tahitian chefs are known for their fabulous creamy coconut and vanilla sauces. This rich recipe uses shrimp, but you could also use fish or chicken.
Category: Tahitian cuisine
Like their Polynesian counterparts elsewhere, Tahitians still cook meals underground in an earth oven, known here as an himaa. Pork, chicken, fish, shellfish, leafy green vegetables such as taro leaves, and root crops such as taro and yams are wrapped in leaves, placed on a bed of heated stones, covered with more leaves and earth, and left to steam for several hours. The results are quite tasty, since the steam spreads the aroma of one ingredient to the others, and liberal use of coconut cream adds a sweet richness.

I'm learning about how fluid and powerful perceptions are. They shape our experiences and profoundly affect our emotional states. We never know anything for certain, as even things we witness firsthand can have multiple explanations or interpretations. Our understanding of our existence and the events within it is much more in our control than we generally realize – or want to admit. Continue reading
The Subjective Nature of Good and Bad
It was about ten years ago when I first realized that the words 'good', 'bad', 'evil', and other such terms that evaluate quality were extremely subjective. It struck me unexpectedly, like something beyond myself poked the idea into my brain. I railed against it at first, then later it started to sink in.
The Responsibility of Awareness
Imagine a world where everyone walks around with their eyes closed. Infants use their eyes, and as they grow older, they begin to ask questions about what they see; unfortunately, as the adults all have their eyes closed, they are unable to answer their children's inquiries. Some simply respond with things like "I don't understand your question," others make up answers based on what they do know, and some accuse the children of hallucinating or making things up (with varying degrees of amusement, condescension, and reprimand).
Defining Attachment
It occurred to me that my personal usage of this word is incredibly narrow, and that many people reading these posts might benefit from some clarification.
A Stereotypical First Post
I know that pretty much everyone who's ever started a blog has probably started with talking about the fact that they're starting a blog — why they're doing it, how it feels, all that stuff.
That's exactly what I'm going to do.

I came home a little earlier than usual and wanted to eat something quite light, hence this Black Chickpeas Salad with Coriander.
Of course, this was not going to be enough as a meal for two, so alongside the Black Chickpeas Salad with Coriander, I made a Tomato Tarte Tatin. It made for a nice change. The feta here is optional, I used it as that is what I had in the fridge, but you could substitute it with halloumi cheese or if your going for a vegan or dairy free option, perhaps smoked tofu. I think you need a soft texture with the nutty black chickpeas and the fragrant herb brings it all together.
What I like about this salad too, it that it is quite seasonal in colours - going all autumnal, but also a perfect salad to knock up for a Halloween feast if you are planning a vegan or vegetarian Black Food Menu.
Please don't worry too much if you can't find black chickpeas where you are, just substitute it with the traditional kind, but do try and find them - You will always find them in South Asian supermarkets or greengrocers and they are sold as Kala Channa. However, I have noted over the past couple of years, even supermarkets are selling Indian brands labelled as Kala Chana and they are reasonably priced, you can get three tins for a pound in some places (see here), and in a time of austerity - every pound matters. You can even find the dried variety too, but that takes a little more forward planning.
I am sharing this Black Chickpeas Salad with Coriander with Souper Sundays hosted by Kahakai Kitchen. I mentioned before, I don't always get to join in, but it is a pleasure when I do. Thanks for hosting Deb; and also #EatYourGreens Vegetarian and Vegan Blog challenge hosted by me this month. Eat Your Greens is also co-hosted by The VegHog. Please do join in. For those of you who have not participated before, please Follow this link on how to join in .
Black Chickpeas, Feta and Coriander Salad
Serves 4 as a side dish
1 x 400g tinned black chickpeas, drained, rinsed. Optional: simmered in water for a few minutes to take the cold edge off.
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 medium red onion, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes
4 spring onions, sliced
200g feta cheese, crumbled
Salt and pepper to taste
A handful of fresh coriander, chopped
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, then whisk in the onions, garlic, chilli flakes and spring onions.
Then carefully stir in the black chickpeas, then carefully fold in the feta cheese and coriander.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Set aside for an hour or so for the flavours to combine.
Adapted from this recipe.

Cherry Cordials
This Christmas, skip the boxed chocolate-covered cherries sitting on store shelves. The taste of these homemade confections just can't be beat. Plus, they're a snap to make with only three basic ingredients—you simply soak the cherries in brandy, melt the chocolates and dip!—Dorothy Bayard, Hubertus, Wisconsin
Total TimePrep: 30 min. + freezing
Makesabout 2 dozen
- 1 jar (10 ounces) maraschino cherries with stems, drained
- 1/2 cup brandy
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Place cherries in a small bowl; add brandy. Cover and freeze for at least 3 hours.
- Place chocolate chips in a small heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat until chips begin to melt. Remove from the heat; stir. Return to the heat; cook just until melted. Immediately remove from the heat; stir until smooth.
- Pat cherries dry. Holding onto the stems, dip cherries into chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on a waxed paper-lined pan. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Vikram Pandit exits Citigroup CEO job
Vikram Pandit, CEO of Citigroup, is leaving his job with immediate effect, the company's board has announced.
Vikram Pandit, CEO of Citigroup, is leaving his job with immediate effect, the company's board has announced.
Pandit (pictured) will be replaced by Michael Corbat, who perviously was Citigroup's CEO of Europe, Middle East and Africa.
The company also announced that its COO, John Havens, who also acted as CEO of Citi's Institutional Clients Group, has resigned. Citigroup did not name a replacement in its statement today.
Yesterday, Citi reported that it made group net income of $468m, down from $3.8 billion in same period last year, as the company struggled with ongoing losses linked to its credit valuation adjustment and debit valuation adjustment figures (CVA/DVA). These costs are linked to derivatives positions taken by the bank in the past, and which it has been trying to remove from the balance sheet.

Yesterday is history; tomorrow is a mystery; but today is a gift, that's why they call it the 'present'.
I know when you're deep in debt, have massive savings goals, or even busy with life that it's hard to remember to enjoy each day as it comes. I will be the first to admit that I am horrible about this. I'm always over planning, over thinking, and contemplating the next move without embracing every day that's gifted to me. It's easier said than done, though! How can you learn to live in the present? Here are some ideas:
Stop dwelling on the negative
When there's something in your life that's not going as well as you like it to, it's easy to let that consume you. Whatever it may be, make a plan to resolve the issue and do the best you can. For example, you've gotten yourself in debt and now you're clawing your way out of it. The first step is realizing you need to get out of debt. The second step is to make a budget and plan to get out of debt. The rest is just sticking to your plan and doing everything you can to dig yourself out of debt. Then stop worrying about it.
Stop over planning
You can plan and plan and plan, but chances are no matter how much you plan, in the end things are going to end up differently. Things can change at any moment, and you have to be flexible to allow these changes to work into your plan. It is great to plan for the future, but don't get too wrapped up in it that you forget to live in the present.
Focus on the day
Make sure you are living in the present by focusing your thoughts on what is currently happening. Take one day at a time, and be grateful for every moment you have. Anything may seem overwhelming, but when it comes down to it, you will get over it. Things will work out how they're meant to. Just do the best you can and things will fall into place.
How do you focus on living in the present?
