A pricey bottle of 2006 Cloudy Bay Gewurztraminer, Marlborough NZ ($81) was good and the very affordable freshly cooked Garlic naan ($2), Spiced caramelised onion naan ($3) and Goats cheese and spinach naan ($3.50) were great tasty starters — very unusual to see on a fine dining menu. A side of Sauteed rosemary kiplfers ($9.50) were a bit oily but nevertheless full of flavour. I really enjoyed the nicely presented Grilled scallops with zucchini ribbons ($27) which was light yet flavoursome. Equally enjoyable were the Pure Coffin Bay oysters ($22.50 for 6) which had been freshly shucked although I might have preferred the eschallots to be caramelized a bit to sweeten the oniony taste and not sure what the 'pure' meant. Chips ($8) were thin and crispy as hoped and reminded me of McDonalds French Fries but fresher — when they're cut the same size how can one not joke if they'd actually been bought from downstairs, but I know they weren't.
The Twice cooked pork ($38) was enjoyed along with the flavoursome Tarragon gnocchi ($32). I had a bit of food envy for the nicely cooked Herb crusted lamb rack ($39) and my Crumbed crab cake with grilled prawn ($27) was light yet tasty but relatively pricey I guess for the small serving. I really enjoyed the Mixed young salad leaves ($8.5) as a side which was very fresh and had a lovely dressing reminding me of the one I had at est. Some crispy skin was thankfully to be had on the W.A. barramundi with goat cheese ravioli ($39). The Buttermilk panna cotta with poached strawberry and rhubarb ($18) was chocolate signed with my surprise birthday wish — the strawberries could have been sweeter but the panna cotta was nice. The Warm hazelnut pudding ($18) and Baked cheesecake with glazed pineapple ($17) were rather simply plated but still enjoyable. You can't go too wrong washing the desserts down with some 2009 Brown Brothers Orange Muscat and Flora ($9) and 2008 Scarborough Late Harvest Semillon ($12.50). To my surprise the Cappucino ($4.50) and Flat white ($4.50) were pretty decent without being too bitter on the palate. The overall experience was very good and special and I think a great spot to wine and dine any tourist friends visiting Sydney or for those who are looking for what seems like a well-run enjoyable restaurant with excellent views and nicely prepared dishes.

Grand Central Terminal
87 East 42nd Street, New York, NY 10017
Note that although some folks will refer to it as Grand Central Station, it is really Grand Central Terminal.
Located between 42nd & 45th St, within Vanderbilt & Lexington Ave. is Grand Central Terminal. NYC's Great Transportation hub. Here is where the Metro North Trains and many others depart. The structure itself, both within and outside is quite something to gawk at.
I can remember 15 years ago when vagrants literally lived and slept in the phonebooths. 'And that was before the 1980's recession! It was a veritable mess. After several years of reconstruction and renovation, it's back! Loud and clear!
If one were to have left in 1990 and come back perhaps in 1999, one would have thought him/herself in the Twilight Zone…'that is, if one were in Grand Central.
It's a mecca of retail business, with eateries in the lower level, and virtually a spit-shine look and feel, this transportation hub of NYC is something else. Tourists might take it for granted, but any native New Yorker will tell you, that it's come a fairly long distance from what it once was!
New York Transit Museum
Located adjacent to the Station Masters' Office is this Museum with ongoing exhibitions. Entrance is Free and they've got a shop available for you to purchase transit related goods and gifts.
Tours are available for this historic locale. Visit the official site for additional information.

Corbin's trunkbox is large enough for a single full face helmet… or for you commuters, an average 15″ laptop computer. Shaped to emulate the design of the bodywork and visually blend in with the bike. This does a fabulous job of concealing just how big the trunk is on the inside.
Installs easily using a luggage rack style bracket (sold separately) and works with your stock or Corbin seat system. Manufactured using rotational molding (rotomolding) to allow very complex shapes and tight manufacturing tolerances. Our proprietary polyurethane material offers a beautiful finish with excellent impact characteristics and weather resistence. Additionally our material is extremely resistant to vibration which makes it perfect for motorcycle applications.
We've positioned the trunk to provide good passenger back support and include a coordinated pad to complete the look. As you can see in the photos above, we can coordinate this pad to your Corbin saddle or make it in plain black to blend in with your stock unit. Built up using the same high density Comfort Cell foam as Corbin saddles to offer firm support that lasts. Covered in genuine leather for excellent feel.
Trunk comes fully lined on the inside and is painted to match your OEM paint scheme. Door is fully weather stripped and is lockable to protect your cargo. Please note, the Skull graphics kits are no longer available.
Mounting bracket installs easily and mounts to existing locations on the Victory chassis. Durable steel bracket is painted black for a subtle appearance.
A Special Note: We're often asked about repair when some unfortunate circumstance damages a Corbin trunk or saddlebag. We're happy to say that our materials are easily repaired &/or repainted by virtually any bodyshop or painter. We hope you never have to find out, but should you ever accidentally damage your trunk, help is as close as your local bodyshop.

So apparantly, Austin is big on running! As far as I can tell, there is some weird 5k going on every weekend. So far ones that we have heard of include running from zombies, racing through mud, karaoke 5k, running around an f1 track, and a 10 miler band marathon.
Mud Factor
Last weekend we did a Mud & Obstacle 5k. Doesn't crawling through warm squishy mud and scaling 20-foot walls sound like a 7 year old's dream come true?
Well it wasn't really as muddy as expected. And the mud that there was was more like clay! Nevertheless, it was a total blast and I'm so happy we had such a fun group to do it with!
Before & After (I know….we just look wet.)
Formula Run
And for this weekend's 5K we went to the Formula 1 track that will be opening in about two weeks for the Circuit of the Americas. It was actually really really cool! A lot of enthusiasts were there to walk/run around a track which they had great appreciation for. There were a lot of participants who you would never expect to see on a 5k race, like disabled people in motorized scooters, or with canes, or even a man with no legs and no arms! So amazing. They just really wanted to be a part of something they admire so much. I loved the atmosphere! And what better, it was Atlas & Urban's first race! We wouldn't have done it without Atlas, our little race car enthusiast. We hope to take him to an actual race at this track in the future.
It was so foggy, and we were all wet from the humidity. But otherwise perfect running temperature.
there were about 5,000 racers!
we made lots and lots of race car sounds
weaved in and out of the other racers
and made lots of pit stops to take pictures

Notes: Roberta Willis of Leon, Kansas, likes this tangy combination of plums and raspberries. At altitudes of 1,000 to 6,000 feet, process jars for 10 minutes; above 6,000 feet, process for 15 minutes.
How to Make It
Follow steps 1 through 4 of Canning Instructions, using seven pint-size jars.
Coarsely chop plums (do not peel); you should have 7 3/4 cups. Coarsely chop or mash raspberries; you should have 2 cups.
In an 8- to 10-quart pan, combine plums, raspberries, lemon juice, butter (if using), and pectin. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring often. Stir in sugar; when mixture resumes boiling, stir for exactly 4 minutes if using MCP pectin (1 minute if using Sure-Jell pectin).
Skim and discard any foam from jam.
Follow steps 5 through 11 of Canning Instructions, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace in each jar and process jars for 5 minutes (see notes).
Sunset's Canning Tips:
Add butter to jams and jellies to prevent foam from forming during cooking. If you omit the butter, skim off the foam before ladling jam or jelly into jars. The recipe will yield about 1/4 cup less.
Measure all the sugar into a bowl before beginning the recipe. Many canning recipes call for a large volume of sugar to be added when a mixture is already boiling; measuring ahead simplifies this step and prevents mistakes.
Use a ruler to measure volume. Some recipes call for a mixture to be reduced by a certain amount. To ascertain this easily, insert a clean, wood ruler into the pan before cooking and measure how far up the mixture comes. Then cook as directed until it has reduced by the percentage specified. For example, if uncooked mixture measures 4 inches in pan and recipe says to reduce by half, cook it down to 2 inches.

- "That is the Mask of Scents, isn't it? You've done well to get that mask. Looking at its condition, I can tell that its previous owner was neat and tidy."
- — Happy Mask Salesman
The Mask of Scents is one of the twenty-four masks that Link can collect in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It enhances the wearer's sense of smell. Link is given this mask by the Deku Butler, as a belated reward for rescuing the Deku Princess and restoring peace to Woodfall, after he manages to keep up with him in a race through the Deku Shrine. The Deku Butler's Son once used a mask like this, likely the same one.
The Mask of Scents allows Link to track the odor of Magic Mushrooms with ease; these are represented by purple fumes that are seen only when the mask is worn. These mushrooms can be stored in bottles and brought to Kotake at the Magic Hags' Potion Shop for her to make Blue Potion, using the Magic Mushroom as an ingredient. Magic Mushrooms can be found in various places, including the Woods of Mystery and many hidden Hidden Holes, but the most interesting is likely the Stock Pot Inn; if Link visits the bunk room on the second floor where the Gorman Troupe is staying, he can use the Mask of Scents to find a Magic Mushroom hidden within a pair of boxers on one of the beds.
The shape of the Mask of Scents resembles a hog, a pig, or possibly even a Moblin; this is likely because pigs are known for their acute sense of smell. In addition, pigs are known for their ability to sniff out truffles, a rare type of mushroom. The Mask of Scents has the same color as Link's skin; when worn, Link looks like a humanoid pig, rather than a human wearing a pig mask. In addition, when worn, the mask replaces all of Link's shouts and grunts with pig noises and his idle stance with a hunched-over, "sniffing" animation.
Interestingly, the Mask of Scents is virtually identical to the "Piggy Nose" item from EarthBound, which is also used to find mushrooms, specifically Magic Truffles. The mask may also be a reference to Pigma Dengar from the Star Fox series; both are pigs and have black around the eyes, though Pigma lacks the tusks that the Mask of Scents has.

In addition to its core focus on HIV prevention, IAVI works with partners to address other public health needs that disproportionately affect individuals in developing countries. IAVI applies its expertise in vaccine and antibody development in disease areas where the organization can add unique value.
In September 2018, IAVI announced a clinical asset transfer agreement with Aeras, a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing tuberculosis (TB) vaccines. There is extensive overlap among individuals and communities hit hardest by TB and HIV/AIDS. TB is the single biggest killer of people living with HIV. The expertise of the legacy Aeras clinical operations team and South African network will enable IAVI to strengthen its clinical development capacity and enhance its ability to address HIV, TB, and other important global health challenges.
In May 2018, IAVI announced a partnership with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations to develop a vaccine candidate against Lassa fever using its expertise in working with replicating vesicular stomatitis vectors, or VSV vectors. The World Health Organization has identified Lassa fever as one of the top emerging pathogens likely to cause severe outbreaks in the near future in its Research and Development Blueprint for Action to Prevent Epidemics.

I reached Manipal University early on 11th morning for my M Tech. counseling. Its a 2 hour bus journey from Manglore Central Railway station. I had breakfast in the food court in the campus. I was glad to find cool food joints like Subway and Dominos pizzas too there. I was not that tensed because I was pretty confident that I would get a seat! The counseling began with a couple of presentations about the new programs introduced this year. The countdown of the seats began very soon as the seat were getting filled one by one. My top priority was to get a Computer Science and Engineering seat. If failed then Software Engineering or Network Engineering.
The total intake was only 24 and my rank for the entrance exam is 171. As the rank neared 100 in the counseling, there were 16 vacant and 8 seats filled in CSE. So I thought, for another 100, another 8 will be filled and 8 vacant making my chances to get a CSE seat better! I kept my fingers crossed as my rank was nearing.
And finally my name was called and there were 8 seats remaining in CSE, just as I expected! All the three branches were there for me to choose from. I was thrilled and excited as I got my CSE I wanted. Later I booked my hostel room and also got myself a bank account in SBI!
After failing in the IIIT, Hyderabad exam and seats falling short in VIT, Vellore, I can now finally taste success at MIT, Manipal!
Looking forward for a new beginning at Manipal. To study in a new state and a new language to learn! Lots in store for me as a challenging 2 years study in MIT will begin early next month!

Day 2 of our 4 Day Crossing
So, here we are, 50 miles from the nearest land, and I just saw a whale! Cool. Though unfortunately it didn't make a reappearance, so Ceu missed it. I hope there will be others!
Yesterday at 7am we departed St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands bound for the Turks and Caicos Islands some 470 nautical miles north east. The forecast was for pretty steady 8-14 kt breezes on the starboard quarter, gradually backing to a bit forward of a beam reach.
We motored out of Charlotte Amelie and, as soon as we cleared the islands wind shadow, we hoisted the spinnaker and sailed off in pretty smooth seas. The wind was light, our speed was rarely above 5 knots, and overnight the wind pretty much disappeared completely.
That meant dousing the spinnaker and motoring for a few hours, as our speed had dropped down to under 2 knots. By the morning the wind was back up to 5-6 knots again, so up went the spinny again. That sail is amazing. With it alone, we can do 4 knots of speed on a dead run in 6 knots of wind. Barely a breath. But once the wind drops below 4 knots, then we really die.
But right now it has picked up and veered. Spinnaker is down, full main and genoa are up, and we are trooping along at 7+ knots in 14kts wind on a starboard fetch. Sea is a bit more lumpy, but still comfortable. And this will certainly help us get to our destination!
Calculating when to depart is tricky. The goal is to arrive with lots of daylight left so that we can easily navigate into a safe anchorage. We have about 450+ miles to go. So what do we take as an average speed? In that light stuff, we were averaging just over 5 knots. In this fresher breeze we do 7+ knots.
So, if we assume a 5knot speed, that would take us 90 hours, or 3days and 18 hours. Which would get us there early on Sunday morning. So we would have to slow down a bit so as to arrive in daylight.
On the other hand, if we do a 6 knot average, that makes the trip just 75 hours, just over 3 days. Which would have us arriving late morning on the Saturday.
Based on the forecast, we figured we should be able to beat 5.5 kt average, so that is why we left at 7am. We shall see how it works out! Our first 24 hours gave us only 126 miles, but now the speed has picked up, so who knows?
We are also testing out our new radar and AIS (automatic identification of ships). The later transmits our position, course and speed to boats around us, and receives similar signals from other boats. All commercial vessels now carry this.
Early this morning I sighted a big Maersk container ship heading straight for us on the port bow. The AIS was off. So I turned it on. It takes a couple of minutes for it to find our position by GPS and then transmit that information. It then displays the boat on the chart plotter and if you hover over it, you will find out its name, speed, course, and radio call sign. It also tells you their closest point of approach which, in this case, was about 0.2miles in 2.5 minutes! I was about to radio him, when I saw him alter course to pass astern of us. I am pretty sure that his course change was prompted by his AIS sounding an alarm to his officer on watch.
Like trucks and airplanes, these big ships carry black boxes that record everything. Which means that if anything happens they can look up the details and see if they ignored an AIS alert. So, it seems to work, and gives one some degree of comfort out here in the big blue.
The radar takes a little getting used to also, but it does show up very clearly both ships, and rain – and also has an alarm to warn you if something comes within a specified distance. But unlike the AIS that isn't predictive. The AIS, for example, can pick up a vessel from 20 miles away and calculate that it will come within half a mile of us, and so sets off an alarm, even from that distance. Useful!
What is interesting is when these gadgets pick up vessels at 15 miles that one cannot even see on the horizon!
Wow! Wind just picked up to 24 kts! Had to go up front to put in a reef. Now we are zooming along! Doing a steady 9 kts – so how does that work with my calculations? With 278 miles to go at 2:30pm Thursday, that gives us just 30 hours to go, getting us in at 10pm on Friday night! Of course, it might all drop down to 5 kts again. So hard to figure it out. I guess we just keep trucking until it is clear that we need to slow down to wait for dawn.

Lessons to be learned from the thugs in Kentucky story (see the story here: https://www.facebook.com/Adamsccwinstruction/posts/770858112592
First, awareness is key. If you are paying attention to people you will notice their mood as well as the overall mood of a group. If your spidey sense says something is wrong, leave.
Second, bad guys are not like you and I. We respect life, personal property and people in general. The lady mentioned in the story was sitting in her car with her two children when she was attacked. She was punched and had trashcans thrown at her car. She is very fortunate that she was not pulled from her car. What would have become of her children had the group gotten inside her car? Have means of protection on you at all times and if in this similar situation, drive away.
Third, a store clerk was attacked when he tried to stop some of the group from stealing product from his store. The clerk is very fortunate he was not seriously injured or killed. We are responsible and reasonable citizens but bad guys are not. Remember that, drill that into your head. If a group of even 3 people try and steal from you, you need to assess the situation. If you have to turn your back to one thief to address the other you are leaving yourself wide open to attack. Unlike the movies the good guy does not always win and sometimes there is not a winning outcome in general.
Lastly, something I want to hit on is if you carry a handgun how many rounds do you carry. If you carry an average single stack you are looking at 7-10 rounds. Do you carry a backup magazine or speed loader? Even if you are carrying a full size double stack handgun you are at 17+1 rounds. If you have a spare magazine that puts you at 34+1. That sounds like a lot of ammunition. If that mob turns on your because you did not leave when you had the chance and you believe your only option is the use of deadly force do you have what you need?
To sum this up friends, be aware of your surroundings. You can easily tell the mood of a crowd. If your gut says leave, then leave. Know your limitations as well as the limitations of the tools you have. Handguns, OC spray, baton they all have limitations as do you.
If you have family or friends please advise them to like our page so that they can see these sorts of things as it will better prepare them. Also, please insist that family and friends obtain their Ohio Concealed Handgun License. It is not hard to do and a good class goes over more than just shooting, it teaches you to be prepared and aware.

I agree some very suspect entries, one or two good ones. No5 Grand Hyatt Steak House is seriously over priced and very poor quality. I ate there recently with a date, we went to the Arts Centre nearby for theatre afterwards. I was terribly disappointed with the steak I ordered. It was horribly under seasoned and had hardly any sear on it at all. Sweaty rather than juicy, just tasteless, corn fed beef, nasty. The meat was pasty and ice cold inside. I ordered medium rare. The featured fries that come with it tasted like yesterdays, "double crisped in duck fat" they were instead soggy, ice cold, stale wedges. The veg exceptionally boring, bland, room temperature and undercooked. We didn't make a fuss as we had the theatre to get to but never again. I couldn't eat a quarter of the steak (on the bone) and took it home for the dog.
Yes Ruth's Chris Steakhouse we found excellent! Close to Admiralty. The atmosphere inside is lovely and serene the service is fantastic, six stars. The delicious selection of veg steaming hot was served off a covered platter by the waiters with a delicious hot béarnaise for the perfectly seared juicy tender steak. The meat seasoned to perfection and cooked exactly to order…….will definitely go back, not exactly cheap though.
Hong Kong does have a few excellent steak houses but twenty is really pushing it. Max four are honestly worth the money. I agree with No1 as you can't go wrong with grass fed Argentinian beef, it's simply delicious.

Outback ranked ahead of Morton's… Really?

Why Should I Submit Articles To An Article Directory
Submitting articles to an article directory is a decision more and more people are making everyday. With the great increase in blogging sites and personal websites promoting articles the need for new written material increases by the minute. Article directories enable website owners' easy access to hundreds and thousands of articles they can add to their website pages. With new articles comes new viewer interest and reader traffic. These owners are smart and are already using affiliate advertising programs to generate money. So why should you submit an article to a directory? One might wonder why one would want to submit a writing piece for free; it is after all one's hard work.
But there are many different reasons and surprisingly the outcome can be quite lucrative! Some of these reasons follow: 1.If you are trying to break into the writing world what better way to get exposure than to submit articles to a directory that is targeted for website owners' who want traffic to their sites and will use your article as a means to do so. This means your writing will be read and seen by hundreds, maybe even thousands of people. This is one sure way to get your name at least out in the public eye. 2.
Sending your articles to directories is also a good idea because you can always add a direct link to your blogging sites and other websites. The more exposure your article experiences, the more hits to your other sites. If you are using affiliate programs on those sites, the money making potential can increase exponentially! 3.Some people choose to submit articles for more personal reasons. For the person who has never felt listened to, this might be a great safe avenue to be "heard" in. This can boost one's self-confidence especially if many websites decide to use your articles. This boost of confidence can then help lift you up to other possible writing pursuits. 4.Another reason to send your articles to an article directory is simply for the self-gratifying feeling of seeing your name in print. For some people this accomplishment alone is enough.
5.Writing articles can simply be a fun hobby for someone else and they do not need the recognition nor do they need any monetary compensation. They simply want to have something in the world that represents who they are, what they think, and what they believe without having to face the tough, discerning and sometimes rejecting scrutiny of publishers and editors. 6.And, for some it is a great way to practice one's writing skills. Writing every single day is one of the most beneficial practices for any writer. It is like a basketball player who goes to the court everyday to shoot some hoops and run some court plays. Practice sharpens one's skill level in any endeavor. So, as you can see, there are many great reasons why one submitting articles to article directories can not only be a lucrative and self-validating tool, but it can also be a powerful outlet and way to increase one's intrinsic writing skills!.

NY Stock Exchange reopens, S&P 500, Dow surge to highest levels in months
Stocks surged on Wall Street Tuesday, driving the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average to their highest levels in nearly three months as optimism over the reopening of the economy overshadowed lingering worries about the coronavirus pandemic.
During the day, the S&P 500 crossed the 3,000-point mark, the first time since March 5. The Dow ultimately jumped 2%, crossing the 25,000-point threshold for the first time since March 10, before widespread business shutdowns aimed at slowing the spread of the outbreak sent the U.S. economy into a sharp skid.
The NYSE trading floor in lower Manhattan opened for the first time in two months, though with plexiglass barriers, masks and a reduced number of traders to adhere to the 6-foot social-distancing rules. Those entering the NYSE will have their temperatures taken and were asked to avoid public transportation.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has presided over a state with the highest death toll since the virus took hold in the United States, rang the bell to set off trading.
"They didn't reopen the way it was," he said during his daily briefing. "They reopened smarter."
Stocks surged in morning trading, driving the S&P 500 to its highest level in 2 1/2 months on rising hopes for an economic recovery. The S&P 500 was up 2%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed more than 660 points, or 2.7%.
Several thousand brokers and others used to crowd the trading floor of the NYSE as recently as the 1990s. But in the years since, the rise of electronic trading from computer terminals grew to dominate the action on Wall Street. These days, there are about 500 floor traders at the NYSE.
The rally took place as the government reported that U.S. consumer confidence inched up this month, showing signs of stabilizing. Still, it remains near a six-year low in the face of the widespread business shutdowns that have sent the economy into recession.
All 50 states have begun easing their stay-at-home restrictions and allowing businesses to open their doors again, even as some parts of the country see no drop-off in confirmed coronavirus cases. There is also some optimism about the race for a vaccine.
"These little baby steps that we start to see different states reopening, different policies that are being allowed that weren't allowed two weeks ago — these are all clear signals that we're moving in the right direction," said Jonathan Corpina, senior managing partner at Meridian Equity Partners.
Worldwide, the virus has infected nearly 5.5 million people, killing over 346,000, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. Europe has recorded about 170,000 deaths, while the U.S. was approaching 100,000, more than the number of Americans killed in the Vietnam and Korean wars combined.
But the true toll is widely believed to be significantly higher, with experts saying many victims died of the virus without ever being tested for it.
President Donald Trump several months ago likened the coronavirus to the flu and dismissed worries it could lead to so many deaths. The administration's leading scientists have since warned that as many as 240,000 could perish from the virus.
In hard-hit New York, Cuomo reported a one-day total Tuesday of 73 deaths, the lowest figure in months, and down from a peak of close to 800.
"In this absurd new reality that is good news," he said.
Still, the World Health Organization said that the world remains mired in only the first stage of the pandemic, putting a damper on hopes for a speedy global economic rebound.
"Right now, we're not in the second wave," said Dr. Mike Ryan, WHO's executive director. "We're right in the middle of the first wave globally."
Associated Press journalists Menelaos Hadjicostis and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed to this report.

As male peacocks shake their long feathers in courtship, the iridescent eyespot remains nearly stationary and captivates females, new research has found.
The iridescent eyespot effectively hypnotises the female, leaving her powerless to resist the male's attentions.
A male peacock, for example, entices peahens by raising and vibrating his long train feathers.
The vibrations both make the feathers rattle and make the brightly coloured eyespots appear to hover motionless against an oscillating iridescent background, reports Ians.
The findings, published in the journal PLOS ONE, showed that displaying peacocks vibrate their feathers at or near resonance, giving the train the greatest vibrational amplitude and suggesting that these courtship displays may be energetically efficient.
The courtship displays signals the relative physical quality of males vying for females.
Males with eyespots that are the most iridescent win most of the matings.
The eyespot barbs are locked together with microhooks much like those on flight feathers.
This gives each eyespot greater density than the surrounding loose barbs, keeping it essentially in place as the loose barbs shimmer in the background.
In addition, the longer the train feathers, the faster the males shook their feathers during courtship displays, requiring more muscular effort.
This suggests that the dynamics of feather vibrations could also signal male muscle power to choosy females.
"Charles Darwin observed that peacocks vibrate their feathers during courtship, but it took this multidisciplinary team of scientists to characterise the dynamics of this behaviour," said one of the researchers Suzanne Kane from the University of British Columbia in Canada.
For results, the researchers used high-speed video to analyse the "train-rattling" movements of vibrating train and tail feathers in 14 adult peacocks, and measured the vibrations of individual feathers in the lab.

Why you should Stock up Island Expedition Dubloons Before Patch 8.1 - With the scheduled release of the next patch for World of Warcraft on December 11th, gold makers are ready to take their next step into the new world. Wi...
The Power Word: Gold 2014 Year In Review
It's New Year's Eve and time to put some of my thoughts down about what's happened here at Power Word: Gold this year.
While there has been some fairly drastic changes in the area of gold-making itself due to the release of Warlords of Draenor this post will mainly focus on what's been going on with the blog specifically.
I normally try not to talk too much about the blog itself as I like to let the details be background to the content these end-of-the-year posts are when I allow myself to be a bit more introspective. Read on for more.
What Changed?2014 was quite the year for big life changes for me.
This year I:
- Started a new job.
- Relocated my family 600 miles.
- Had my first child (ok, she came in December of 2013 but close enough and technically April had her not me).
April was when my new job started and that's when the posts slowed. By November the expansion was launching and we were settled into our new place so I was able to start playing and blogging again (although not with as much free time as before).
Some other important changes to the blog this year:
- Thanks to some knowledge of CSS and Bootstrap gained at my new job I was able to implement a fully responsive redesign of the blog. This means that Power Word: Gold now looks and works much better on smartphones and tables. I love this because these day's I spend much more time reading on my iPhone than on my desktop.
- I was able to update Grouper (our tool for creating TSM-importable lists from copied item links on webpages) to work with The Undermine Journal's redesign.
In addition to continuing to post on the blog I also finally started my own gold-making forums at BidFiddlers.com.
Starting a gold-making forum is something I've wanted to do since I started this blog and with what I've learned over the years I finally felt comfortable enough to do it.
So far the response to the forum has been great and we encourage you to come sign up for a free account and join us in discussing all aspects of gold-making.
One last change that I've been trying to make that will make some people happy is that I've switched from using the "royal we" when referring to ourselves as "us", "we" and "our". I did this because I felt like I was speaking as the blog and as such saying "I" didn't feel right.
I've decided top change to writing the blog in a more direct "first-person" style where I'll be using phrases like "I" "me" and "mine". I still am not used to it and have taken to searching my posts for "we" and our" and replacing them with the proper first person words.
I don't think anyone would have noticed the change if I hadn't said anything but I know that over the years it has driven some readers up the wall.
What Stayed The Same?I thought that being away from the game for 6 months would somehow change our feelings for the game and/or blogging about but it really hasn't.
I'm just as excited about trying to figure out gold-making in Warlords of Draenor as I have been in all previous expansions.
(It feels like Blizzard has pulled some of the gold-making "rug" out from under our feet so to speak with the additions of the garrisons and related profession changes but I'm still enjoying trying to unravel this mess of a gold-making knot nonetheless.)
The blog posts are as detailed and thorough as ever. Not every post is going to be a monster but some are. I try to make every post relevant to gold-making. Granted every post might not appeal to every reader but I'm trying my best to impart what useful gold-making information I have in every post.
The podcast episodes are coming out with some regularity which I'm very happy about. Due to my somewhat more limited schedule they have been solo podcasts and while I may have guests on once and a while for now doing them alone works best for me.
My livestreams have continued although my schedule for streams is somewhat hit-and-miss. The best way to know when I'm streaming is to subscribe to my Twitch.tv page and have email/mobile alerts turned on. In addition, you can keep an eye on my Twitter and/or Facebook page.
What Lies Ahead?My favorite holiday of the year is New Years because I love the idea of having a chance to look back and reflect about the previous year and look forward to a whole new year.
There is so much hope, so much promise in the idea of new beginnings. Will the next year most likely be like the last? That's up to you and that's what I love about New Years.
So, what does 2015 hold for myself and for Power Word: Gold?
While the future is always uncertain here are a few things I'd like so see:
- Consistent, top-notch written blog posts on Power Word: Gold throughout all of 2015.
- Consistent, useful podcasts on a regular schedule throughout the year.
- (If I feel I can put enough solid Warlords of Draenor gold-making tips together) writing a new gold-making guide for Warlords of Draenor.
- Continuing to learn, improve, and excel at my new job throughout the year.
- Continue to learn more about designing for the web with HTML, CSS and Bootstrap.
- Start to learn how to do web programming by learning how to write Javascript and use MySQL.
- Learn how to make things with the new 3D printer I got for Winter Veil (coming in early January)! I'm really excited about this one! I've always wanted to be a product designer and this feels one step closer to that dream.
- Be a good father and husband by devoting all the time I can to my wife and daughter.
So there you have it. A little look back and a little look forward. We still have a few hours here until it is officially 2015 (although by the frequency of fireworks outside my window you'd think it was already midnight) and I'm going to log out of World of Warcraft and do some real reflection.
I hope you had a wonderful 2014 and here's to an even better 2015 for all of us!

Parking at Larkspur Ferry
There are two paid parking lots available at the Larkspur Ferry. The primary parking lot is located at the Larkspur Ferry Terminal and has 1,800 parking spaces. An overflow parking lot located at 300 Larkspur Landing Circle and can accommodate 200 additional vehicles. As a safety reminder, when using the overflow lot, ALWAYS use crosswalks or the pedestrian overpass when walking to and from the main terminal.
During weekdays, it is best to arrive early in the morning because both lots tend to reach capacity by 9:00 AM and typically spots don't start opening back up until 1:00 PM, when some riders starting returning from the city.
All parking spots are on a first come, first served basis for both daily and monthly permit holders.
The current Larkspur Ferry parking rates are as follows:
|After 1:00 PM
|All Day
|Monthly (w/ pre-paid permit)
|All Day
Larkspur Ferry parking fees DO NOT apply on the following holidays:
- New Year's Day
- President's Day
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
Daily parking permits are valid for a 24-hour period. After 24 hours, vehicles are subject to fines and/or towing.
Parking pass violators, people who do not pay the daily fee or do not possess a valid monthly permit, will be subject to a fine of $45.
In response to customer feedback, ferry customers can get real-time updates when the Larkspur Terminal parking lots are at capacity by following us on Twitter (@GoldenGateFerry). Staff will tweet out alerts when the main Larkspur lot is full and when the overflow lot is full. In general, parking spaces begin to open up about 1:00 PM due to returning passengers.
Alternatives to Driving and Parking at the Larkspur Terminal
- Take a Shuttle to the Ferry Terminal. Larkspur Ferry shuttle Routes 25 and 31 are free for Larkspur Ferry customers and drop off/pick up inside the terminal in front of the fare gate and ticket machines. Route 25 operates during weekday morning and afternoon commutes along Sir Francis Drake Blvd to/from Fairfax/Manor (serving several Park & Ride lots too!—see bullet below). Route 31 operates daily to/from the San Rafael Transit Center/SMART Station.
- Ride Marin Transit to the Ferry Terminal. Marin Transit Route 29 operates weekday commute periods only between San Rafael and Marin General Hospital. Marin Transit Route 228 operates daily between the San Rafael Transit Center and Fairfax/Manor. Both routes drop off/pick up at the bus stop along Sir Francis Drake Blvd in front of the Ferry Terminal.
- Park at a Park & Ride Lot and Ride a Bus to the Ferry Terminal. There are Park & Ride lots within a mile of the Ferry Terminal that are served by bus/shuttle Routes 24, 25, 29, and 228—at Drakes Landing Office Park with capacity for 50 vehicles and at the northwest corner of the Bon Air Shopping Center with capacity for 70 vehicles. Golden Gate Transit Route 24 and Marin Transit Routes 29 and 228 serve both park & ride lots; Ferry shuttle Route 25 serves the Bon Air lot. There are also several Park & Ride lots under Hwy 101 in central San Rafael, with capacity for almost 200 vehicles; Routes 29, 31, and 228 provide connecting service to the Larkspur Terminal.
- Ride the SMART Train and Transfer to a Bus to the Ferry Terminal. The SMART train operates daily between northern Santa Rosa and downtown San Rafael, with stops in downtown Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Cotati, downtown Petaluma, Novato/Atherton, Novato/Hamilton, Marin Civic Center, and the San Rafael Transit Center. Connecting bus service is available from the Transit Center on Ferry shuttle Route 31 (see bullet above) and Marin Transit Routes 29 and 228 (see bullet above).
- Bike to the Ferry Terminal. Bicycles are welcome on board all Golden Gate Ferry vessels on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, the Larkspur Terminal has bike parking for up 140 bikes, including 80 secure bike spaces inside the paid waiting area and 60 bike spaces outside the waiting area.
- Walk to the Ferry Terminal. The Larkspur Terminal is within walking distance of several Greenbrae, Corte Madera, and Larkspur neigbhorhoods. Walking eliminates stress associated with driving and road congestion.
- Carpool to the Ferry Terminal. Carpool spaces at the Larkspur Terminal are located in Rows F and G and along the inner perimeter lane adjacent to motorcycle parking. A carpool is defined as a driver and at least one passenger. These spaces are subject to the parking fee.
- Use a Rideshare. 511's RideMatch matches drivers and riders to share rides and the cost. It's easy to use—learn more at 511's RideMatch site. Other rideshare services like Lyft, Lyft Line, and Uber connect drivers with riders, sometimes even connecting a rider with other riders going the same route or to the same location.
Alternatives to Getting to San Francisco from the North Bay
- Ride Golden Gate Transit to SF. GGT operates frequent commute service from most North Bay communities and Park & Ride lots for a one-seat ride to San Francisco. GGT also operates midday service every hour from southern Marin on Route 4 and San Rafael on Route 27.
- Ride the SMART Train and Connect to a SF-bound GGT Bus. Many North Bay commuters are choosing to ride the SMART train to San Rafael and transferring to Golden Gate Transit for connecting bus service to downtown San Francisco.
- Ride Golden Gate Tiburon or Sausalito Ferry to SF. Tiburon Ferry operates during weekday commute periods only. Parking is available at several downtown Tiburon lots for a fee. Sausalito Ferry operates daily, all-day service. There are for-pay public parking lots adjacent to the Ferry Landing and metered parking on local streets.

What women in their 30s need to know about menopause | Stuff.co.nz – Stuff.co.nz
July 3rd 2017 Posted at Hormone Replacement Treatment
Comments Off on What women in their 30s need to know about menopause | Stuff.co.nz – Stuff.co.nz |
Last updated15:59, July 3 2017
Find out when your mum went through menopause - chances are it will be the same for you.
Menopause is a dirty word for women of all ages, but women in their 30s often try to avoid thinking about it altogether.
Play the word association game and you get old, infertile, past it, cranky, unreasonable.It's safe to say that few womenactually look forward to menopause.
READ MORE: *Auckland study about the effect exercise has on menopause in need of volunteers *Powering up: Why women should get in training for menopause *Mystery of menopause before 40
Few women look forward to menopause.
But whatever your feelings about this time of life, this is what you should know before it arrives:
Menopause lasts significantly longer than we used to believe. Christchurch obstetrician-gynaecologist Olivia Smartsays women go through eight years of hormonal fluctuationsuntil menstruation ends when they are 51, on average.
Ask your mother when she experienced menopause, because chances are you will have a similar experience.
And if your mum was aged 40 or younger when her periods stopped,you should talk to your GP about your own fertility, and how you can protect your bone and hearthealth if you also hit menopause early.
The general perception is that menopause is a miserable experience you would not wish on anyone, and let's be clear it's no pony ride.
"It's a very real issue for women in their 40s," says Smart."A lot have to hold down a job and manage young families but there is this huge change looming which might effect their quality of life.
"It could be a crippling blow from a mental health perspective or on a cognitive level. The only comfort is that there are very good treatments available."
Some of those treatments are hormonal (we will get to HRT momentarily) and some are not, but the good news is that innovation is improving the quality of life for menopausal women every year.
The perception of hormone replacement treatment has changed wildly over time. Once treated as a near-miraculous way of extending youth and treating the symptoms of menopause, it got a lot of bad publicity in the early 2000s when research linked it to breast cancer and heart disease.
"Using HRT for a short period of time [five years or less] is a safe thing to do," says Smart. "The safety data is pretty reassuring around that. It's about seeing a practitioner who is experienced and has the up-to-date information.
It's true that a lot of women gain weight at menopause and that their body shape changes, with a thickening of the waist and extra pockets of fat collecting around their hips and bums.
Smart advises women still in their 30s to maintain a healthy weight, eat foods rich in calcium, do weight-reistance exercises, and do exercises that promote cardiovascular health.
The better the shape you are in approaching menopause, the better you will be able to cope with it.
Hot flushes are the gift that keeps on giving, sometimes for several years. Most people know that hot flushes are a sudden temperature rise, signalled by red, sometimes blotchy skin.
However, these symptoms may be accompaniedby heart palpitations,dizziness and a general sense of unwellness.
If hot flashes are a significant issue for you and you don't want to take hormones, it is possible to inject the neck in a procedure called a stellate ganglion block, says Smart. This can reduce the number and severity of hot flushes a woman experiences
One of the lesser-known downsides to menopause is vaginal dryness, which is uncomfortable and can make sex painful.The traditional treatment is flaxseed oil, evening primrose oil and lube.
A low-dose topical oestrogen cream can help, but for women who want to avoid the fuss and the hormones, alaser treatment is available which increases collagen production at the site.
Whilemenopause is the end of menstruation,perimenopauseis the phase before it. But for conveniencesake we tend to refer to the whole transition as menopause.
"Over the age of 45, irregular bleeding should be checked out by your doctor," says Smart."Endometrial cancers are one of the most common cancers in women, and we are picking them up in women in their 30s and 40s."
In some cases, women have really long periods that go one for a month or more. "If your body fails to release an egg and then the body is not getting signals that it needs to stop the cycle and start again, then you get this continuous bleeding for weeks on end," says Smart.
There is medication available to stop the bleeding, so don't suffer in silence. Ask your GP for help.

General[edit | edit source]
Plinko[edit | edit source]
Stop by Merrick's shop and test your chances with his new game! Use gold or 'tickets' to drop a chip for a chance to win some great prizes.
The outcome of Plinko drops are randomly determined. On average value of prizes won will exceed the gold cost of playing the game
Observatory[edit | edit source]
The Observatory has provided an unnecessary advantage to the Hellbourne team, allowing purchases from middle lane. The addition of Dust of Revelation is a quality of life change that allows for an additional avenue of countering invisible heroes that previously existed exclusively with transportation of the courier.
- Added Dust of Revelation to the shop
- Reduced the purchasing range of the Hellbourne Observatory from 500 to 370
New Content[edit | edit source]
- Added new Announcer Pack: Samuel L. Jackson Pack
- We are honored and beyond excited to announce the release of the Samuel L. Jackson Announcer Pack! Let the rest of Newerth hear just how much of a BAMF you are with custom lines from the baddest man on the planet, like "Welcome to Newerth, motherf*cker!"
- Releases 10/9/2013 Today!
- Added new Keeper of the Forest Alt Avatar: Willow Keeper
- The Willow Keeper is an impressive sight to behold: a wise and grizzled old treant rumored to be one of the first offspring from the World Tree. Having survived in some of the harshest environments throughout time, from the waterless Savannahs to the life-rotting Rulian Marsh, his durability will surely be a boon to the defenses of the Legion soldiers, beasts, and flora.
- Releases 10/11/2013
- Added new Andromeda Alt Avatar: Gundromeda
- After crash-landing in the northern forests of Caldavar, this celestial maiden was excavated from her crater and brought to the Iron City for the Engineers to study. While her armor may be dinged up, her CPU remains unharmed and ready to aid the Legion, both in battle and in understanding the technology of man before the Fall.
- Releases 10/16/2013
- Added new Lodestone Alt Avatar: Penitent Lodestone
- Before the Hellbringers had fully perfected the dark art of imbuing daemonic contraptions with the souls of the damned, Dr. Repulsor took matters into his own hands with a series of "experiments" that even some Hellbourne would consider vile. Dissecting captured Legion prisoners and inserting cables into their bodies fueled the robotic war machines known as Penitent Lodestones by way of pain and suffering, forcing the pilots to willingly subject themselves to war for a chance to end their constant misery.
- Releases 10/16/2013
- Added new Aluna Alt Avatar: Steampunk Aluna
- When it's time to put brass to ass, nobody is better suited for the job than Steampunk Aluna. Fitted with coiled stilettos and enough gears to shake a (pneumatic) stick at, this feisty heroine is ready to prove the Hellbourne threat is nothing but hot air. The battle for Newerth just got a little steamier, figuratively and literally.
- Releases 10/18/2013
Hero Balance[edit | edit source]
- Stealth abilities can no longer be purged or transferred
+ Ra has always been a fan favorite for a lot of players. The lane presence of Ra combined with allies has become too lethal so we're toning down his burst damage. To compensate, we are allowing Ashes to Ashes to work on creep damage again, bringing back his ability to jungle efficiently. The increased radius and removal of attack speed helps refine Ra's focus towards Magic Damage over time.
- - Increased Armor by 1
- - Path of Destruction: Reduced damage from 110/180/250/320 to 90/140/190/240
- - Ignite: Reduced damage from 80/120/160/200 to 60/100/140/180
- - Ashes to Ashes: Now works on creeps again
- - Ashes to Ashes: Radius increased from 350 to 400
- - Ashes to Ashes: removed attack speed
+ Power Throw is individually a strong ability. Rather than reducing its high damage, we've increased the mana cost instead to bring it more in line with other nukes.
- - Power Throw: Increased mana from 100/110/120/130 to 110/120/130/140
+ Behemoth has always been an iconic wrecking bomb with a portal key. We feel it is time to bring back some of his old strengths by alleviating some of his mana cost issues and putting a larger emphasis on his reward for Shockwave.
- - Increased starting Intelligence from 16 to 17
- - Increased Intelligence gain per level from 1.8 to 2.0
- - Fissure: Mana Cost lowered from 125,140,155,170 to 120,130,140,150
- - Shockwave: Increases the radius from 500 to 600
- - Shockwave: Increases the bonus radius per unit from 500 to 600
- - Shockwave: Cooldown lowered from 150,130,110 to 130,120,110
+ Boom Dust has always felt awkward with the range being significantly less than attack range. While we don't want it to be free damage on every auto attack, we are increasing the range to feel much better in the laning phase.
- - Boom Dust: Increased cast range from 500 to 550
+ With the emphasis of movement speed from a lot of more recent items and heroes, we feel Cthuluphant has experienced a large increase in difficulty of landing trample.
- - Trample: increased the speed from 700 to 800
+ Alongside our direction nerfs to reduce unskilled burst, we're comfortable with Dampeer's baseline output however we're reducing his maximum damage potential. These changes will be most noticeable with the maximum number of essences.
- - Terrorize: Reduces bonus damage granted from each essence from 30 to 25
- - Vampiric Flight: Reduces bonus damage granted from each essence from 20 to 15
- - Vampiric Flight: Fixed a string error with the heal per essence from 15 to 5 (gameplay values remain the same)
- - Consume: Reduces bonus damage granted from each essence from 40,60,80 to 35,55,75
+ Devourer's overall damage output has been too high. Devourer's intention has always been to be a brute force tank with high magic damage output at the cost of his own safety. Rather than toning down the exciting things about the hero, we're reverting the extra physical attack damage granted by his ultimate.
- - Devour: Removed the increase in attack damage that you gain from channeling the ultimate.
+ Doctor Repulsor has always experienced some difficulties getting to 6 but still lacked some power even after achieving level 6. We've added a bit of power to his early game ultimate while keeping his late game power the same.
- - Ludicrous Speed: Increased the speed from 1250/1875/2500 to 1500/2000/2500
+ Ellonia truly shines with her stacks of frost when she can land consecutive hits of her abilities. While we like the high skill shot play style that Ellonia provides, we feel that difficulty of landing Glacial Spike was too high.
- - Glacial Spike: Increased the speed of the projectile from 1000 to 1100
- - Glacial Spike: Increased the touch radius from 90 to 110
+ Engineer has always been able to engage with very little risk. Considering the most optimal position of his abilities is still on the other side of enemies, we wanted to keep the ranges high but decided to tone it down a bit.
- - The Keg: Lowered cast range from 800 to 750
- - Steam Turret: Lowered cast range from 800 to 750
- - Steam Turret: Each charge has it's own timer instead of fully refreshing the slow
+ Tundra Blast's cast range combined with it's radius has allowed for some incredible initiations. We're reducing the range to require Glacius to be more considerate of his positioning.
- - Tundra Blast: Decreased range from 700 to 600
- - Ice Imprisonment: Now allows turning
+ With the popularity of increase in movement speed items and abilities, we've found Earth's Grasp to be irrelevant too early in the game. we're increasing the movement speed require to avoid the damage from Earth's Grasp to keep it relevant for a longer period in the game.
- - Earth's Grasp: Increased radius from 180 to 195 (now requires over 390 Movement Speed to avoid)
+ Night Hound's new found power from his recent changes to his ultimate has made him a bit problematic. We appreciate the addition of his new ultimate so we're taking a look at some of the frustration the hero creates. we're toning down the disruptive radius of Smoke Bomb in team fights at the later stages without affecting his early game too much. we're also putting a greater emphasis on the choice for enemy players to fight the Night Hound head on or flee at the cost of bonus backstab damage.
- - Magic armor reduced from 5.75 to 5
- - Agility gain reduced from 2.9 to 2.5
- - Smoke Bomb: No longer reduces attack speed
- - Smoke Bomb: Radius reduced from 250/275/300/325 to 275
- - Smoke Bomb: Cooldown increased from 15 to 30/25/20/15 seconds
- - Pounce: Will now always appear between you and the target instead of always behind the target
- - Invisibility: Reduced agility per level from 6/12/18 to 5/10/15
+ In addition to his recent buffs, we've felt that Kraken could still use a tiny push. Kraken can now be more aggressive with harass damage in lane with his splash attack.
- - Splash: reduced cooldown from 11/10/9/8 to 10/9/8/7
+ An old time favorite and an icon in the game, Maliken has fallen off the charts through time. we're putting emphasis on his concept as a carry with increased power at high risk, forcing enemies to finish him off at low health or be punished by his potential.
- - Increases starting strength by 1
- - Hellbourne Zeal: increased max charges from 100 to 120
- - Possession: Increased fear duration from 1/1.5/2 to 1.5/1.75/2
- - Enchanted Flames: Reduces the damage taken on self from 6,9,12,15 to 4,8,12,16
- - Enchanted Flames: Increases bonus attack damage from 10,20,30,40 to 12,24,36,48
+ Draining Venom has been adding a lot of late game damage to Parasite, allowing him to burst most enemies regardless of the length of the game. Alongside our directional changes to reduce unskilled burst, we're removing the bonus damage granted from items and creating more decisions for the Parasite in his item choice rather than always killing your target with codex.
- - Draining Venom: No longer works on any items.
- - Face Hug: No longer transfers any buffs or debuffs on magic immune targets. Will still transfer Protective Charm from Jeraziah to self then apply debuffs.
+ Predator's new found strength from Elder Parasite and reworked Terror has made him extremely difficult to deal with. We find the changes to Terror to be more enjoyable than the previous implementation but we feel its about time to tone it down a bit. we're increasing the counter play around the activation of Terror by requiring more attacks and reducing his early game stats.
- - Decreased starting strength from 25 to 23
- - Increased strength gain from 2.4 to 2.5
- - Movement Speed reduced from 300 to 295
- - Terror: Increased the amount of attacks to activate from 3 to 4
+ Prisoner is still relatively new and while we don't want to hit him too hard. We've found that the combination of his tankiness and lethality early game is too high. Lowering his armor to make him more vulnerable to harass damage and lowering the impact of Shackled at the early levels. we're refocusing some of the free activation damage from Prison Break and putting a larger emphasis on the trigger damage for Prisoner while granting a larger reward for enemy counter play.
- - Starting Armor lowered from 1.10 to 0.60 (total armor from 3.5 to 3.0)
- - Shackled: Slow decreased from 30% to 20,25,30,35%
- - "Target Closest" activation has been removed
- - Prison Break: Initial damage reduced from 150/225/300 to 100/150/200
- - Prison Break: Trigger damage increased from 150/200/300 to 200/300/400
+ We feel Puppet Master has fallen behind in his carry potential compared to some other favorites due to his previous nerfs. Rather than increasing his already incredibly long disables, we've put a larger emphasis on his Whiplash allowing him to enjoy the uses of Assassin's Shroud wiping creep waves much earlier in the game.
- - Increased starting damage by 2
- - Whiplash: Reducing charges from 5 to 4
- - Whiplash: Increasing critical damage from 1.25,1.5,1.75,2.0 to 1.5,1.75,2.0,2.25
- - Voodoo Puppet: Increased damage amplification from the Puppet from 140,160,180% to 150,170,190%
+ Dance Floor has always ideally wanted to be placed on the other side of the enemy to gain the most benefit. An increase in cast range will feel much better for Rhapsody when used in combination with Staccato.
- - Increased the cast range of dance floor from 500 to 600. Feels much better with the use of her stun
+ Riftwalker is perceived as a weaker support in exchange for what she provides in the later stages of the game being one of the few support initiators. We've toned down some of her harsh level and gold requirements making it less punishing to play the support role.
- - Increasing Starting Magic Armor from 5.75 to 6.0
- - Wormhole: Lowered the mana cost at all levels from 150/200/250 to 125/175/225
- - Shared Existence: Reduces cooldown from 20,16,12,8 to 10
+ We've found Sand Wraith to have a significant increase in strength due to the recent emphasis on hero bounties and cooldown reductions to Mirage. We like the opportunity and action that his global presence creates so instead we've lowered his early game tankiness a bit making him more manageable in lane. Desert's Curse is also getting a significant decrease in the lingertime putting more meaning on the placement both for the Sand Wraith and enemies.
- - Reduced starting strength from 19 to 17
- - Desert's Curse: Reduced the linger time of the debuff slow from Desert's Curse from 3 seconds to 1 second.
+ The cooldown of stalk was initially increased due to the frustration that The Madman created. With the recent buffs to his counters like Dust of Revelation, Wards of Sight and Puzzle Box. We are comfortable with a revert to his previous changes.
- - Stalk: Reduced cooldown from 10/9/8/7 to 9/8/7/6
+ SoulStealer, an old time favorite has lost a lot of his appeal. The recent changes to mitigate his soul loss mechanic we feel was the wrong way to go, it ended up removing the counter play involved and lost a lot of meaning of the skill. Instead we're bringing back the risk and reward of the skill and even putting a greater emphasis on the mechanic. Soulstealer will now be able to reach higher peaks while also putting more emphasis on his death.
- - Demon Hand: Reduced the mana cost from 80 to 75
- - Soulsteal: Increased the maximum number of souls from 8,15,23,30 to 10,20,30,40(damage potential of Soul Burst remains the same)
- - Soulsteal: Death reduction changed from 1/3 to 1/2
- - Soul Burst: Increased the movement speed slow from 15,20,25% to 25%
- - Soul Burst: Increases the base damage reduction from -15,-20,-25% to -25%
Bug Fixes and Optimizations[edit | edit source]
- - Fixed cast range indicators on Doppelganger and Twisted Visage
- - Entrapment can now properly be cast near the edge of the map
- - Entrapment can no longer be used on heroes who are magic immune
- - Fixed interaction with Amun-Ra's ultimate such that if Circe transforms into Amun-Ra (with ultimate skilled) and Circe's transformation time expires naturally, then she won't be "killed" and revive with 60% HP
- - Fixed Overgrowth so that the damage comes from the correct source
- - Creeps afflicted by taunt will no longer be aggressive towards the Legionnaire after the state expires
- - Targets afflicted by taunt will no longer be silenced and perplexed if legionnaire dies within the duration
- - Pestilence's Gore: Illusions now do 33% damage of gore and cannot stun
- - Riftwalker: Staff of the Master visual effect after teleporting will now be visible to enemies. Can no longer target boss units
- - Shadowblade's Feint's Siphon: will no longer give attack damage to Shadowblade if the target has negative damage
- - Homecoming Stone disarm time will now be equal to the teleport time as well.(4 seconds for outer towers)
- - Fix crash with HoNTour spectators.
- - Lowered announcer memory usage
- - Lower alt avatar memory usage

ETALDOC 591/11 Equivalent Circuit Page 2 of 6 Fig. 1 ½ L ½ L IDEAL 1:1 December 2005 P3356 MATCHING RECOMMENDATIONS The following recommendations start with the simplest implementations and progress to enhanced performance utilizing additional components. Good performance is achieved even with the simplest configurations. The implementations assume a low impedance balanced TX drive and a relatively high impedance RX input, as is commonly available, though use with other TX/RX arrangements is straightforward. Note that there are no changes to components on the line side, or in the hybrid, whether 600Ω or complex reference impedance selected, thus assisting country configuration. For complex impedance, the matching circuits derived are suitable for reference impedances of the type 270 + 750//150nF e.g. European CTR21 and 220 + 820//120nF (or 115nF) e.g. Australia, South Africa, etc., and yield similar performance characteristics.
