The Challenge:
One all-terrain crane used to erect multiple wind turbines at two locations requiring challenging lift heights, loads and lift radii.
The Players:
Neeb-Schuch GmbH
The Process:
Neeb-Schuch GmbH recently used the Terex AC 1000 all-terrain crane to erect wind turbines for two different projects.
Video: Terex AC 1000 All-terrain Crane Installing Windmills at Germany Windparks
The all-terrain crane arrived to the first site in Landesbergen, near Hannover, Germany, carrying its 164-foot telescopic boom. There, the crane had to erect four ENERCON E70 wind turbines with a hub height of 275 feet. Two turbines were erected at one location and the other two at a neighboring one. The maximum weight for each load lifted was 72 tons.
The crane was set up with an SSL configuration, a 207-ton counterweight and a 177-foot-long luffing fly jib on a 39-foot variable extension (VA). A three-sheave hook block was installed with five wire ropes in order to pick up the load with a 44-foot 3-inch outrigger. The AC 1000 required one assist crane to mount its four outriggers, set hoist 0, mount the SSL system, extension adapter and luffing fly jib – the rest was rigged by itself.
"This meant that we were able to set up the huge crane for the first two lifts in no time with only three workers. As for the lifts, they went perfectly smooth," explains crane operator Reiner Wege. He extended the main boom in three steps for the procedure, starting at 98 feet, 1 inch, then extending to 111 feet, 6 inches and ending at 128 feet, 3 inches.
The AC 1000 showcased its high level of flexibility when it had to move to the project's second site, traveling a distance of about 1,640 feet with a configuration that included the luffing fly jib's base, the extension adapter, the superlift system, the mounted outriggers and the counterweight. The crane traveled through an unpaved country road which was meant for tractors.
"Of course we left nothing to chance," explains Terex Support team member Rainer Staab, who supervised the project on site. "The design engineers in charge calculated the exact load distribution and the road's load-bearing capacity in advance and gave us the go-ahead."
For the last two lifts, the crane was placed about 98 feet in front of the wind turbines' foundation and had to work with a large working radius. Just as in the previous lifts, the machine lifted a maximum total load of 72 tons. Wege was also able to easily handle these lifts with the AC 1000.
"Even though I was already familiar with Terex equipment after countless projects using the AC 500, I was surprised at just how quickly I became comfortable operating the AC 1000," he says.
The Terex AC 1000 all-terrain crane's second assignment was at a site in Benhausen, Paderborn, where the Neeb-Schuch team also erected an ENERCON E70 wind turbine. In contrast to the previous assignment, the tower was a concrete structure made up of 22 rings, each one with a height of 12 feet, 5 inches, totalling more than 262 feet. Also, in this case, the maximum weight of the concrete elements was 92 tons. The crane's superlift configuration was identical to the one in Hannover.
The area for crane set up proved to be tricky as the roads that were prepared were too close to the wind turbine's foundation. This meant that the AC 1000 luffing jib had to be set up over open, unprepared terrain. Thanks to the small dimensions of its components and the patented luffing fly jib erecting system, the crane was set up quickly and without complications.
The crane was in service for several hours, as the tower's structure required a large number of lifts.
"The AC 1000 easily and smoothly handled almost 50 lifts without the slightest variation in precision, the highly effective and easy-to-use IC-1 touchscreen control system played a very important role," says Wege.

Amy grew up in an abusive house in New York City and sustained injuries that caused permanent damage to her vision. As a teenager, she moved out of her home to live with her grandparents where things started to look better for her.
Amy worked odd jobs until her eyesight made it difficult to continue working. Her vision had reached a point where she couldn't see well enough to walk independently and eventually had to work in a sheltered workshop making piece-rate wages; not nearly enough to cover her expenses. Amy was then referred to the Commission for the Blind in New York City, where she learned how to get around with a cane. The Commission also helped her get a job at Goodwill in Manhattan. Everything started going well until her grandparents passed away.
Having no remaining family in New York, Amy's aunt in Florida flew her down to live with her. Once in Florida, Amy started to get depressed. She had no friends, and no one would hire her because of her poor eyesight. One day she had a chance encounter with Leigh Ann Bellamy from the Florida Division of Blind Services in Sarasota which changed her life completely.
Leigh Ann assigned Amy a Job Coach and told her about the Supported Jobs Plus program at Goodwill Manasota. Amy had shopped at one of the stores in the past and mentioned that everyone there was so nice to her. Leigh Ann got in touch with Morgan Howell from Goodwill and set up a meeting. Once Morgan heard about Amy's experience at the Goodwill in New York, he offered her a job.
That was a year ago. Today, Amy says she is having the time of her life. With a steady job and good pay, she is able to pay her bills on her own, and best of all, she can go shopping and go to restaurants anytime she wants--something she has never been able to do before. Amy says that Goodwill is her new family; they took a chance on her and gave her hope when she had none. It's what we do…

Creating, Conforming or Breaking Through
London, Summer 2005
There was just no escaping it.
After all, I witnessed and even participated in the creative processes of several prominent artists in Brazil at the same time as I was learning how to read and write. For me, as well as for the rest of my family, it would have been very simple to see and understand the reasons behind me choosing to follow a career as an artist.
But, being a non – conformist as I was, I didn't feel an inclination towards being one more artist in a household already crowded by them: grandfather, uncle, father, brother… it was time for someone to show initiative and be different. This idea of following a heterodox path was always present in my head but I had no desire to deny and not put to good use the understanding of the arts I had.
A Good Idea Takes Shape
I quickly realised that the path that bridges the world of imagination and the world of money could be alluring. Bridging local talent with international market and institutions was desperately needed. These ideas triggered the life changing insight of a suitable career: become an art impresario, aim to be one of those with capital letters, with a good eye, a trained intuition and artistic entrepreneurship capabilities.
Consolidating what was already there and still volatile in the eyes of history and making it reach out to the Global scene – seemed innovative in its own right. It was a good use of my "background" with the opportunity of adding my personal mark. It was a way to craft a career that, under such choice, would allow me to make professional use of experiences I had been accumulating since the age of four.
Names such as Leo Castelli, Sergei Diaghilev and Heinz Berggruen fit wings into my imagination every time they flashed in the air. Comments about such legends were always accompanied by enthusiasm and admiration on their pivotal roles in the marketing of the arts. The chameleonic life style and ability to reinvent oneself in such a myriad of situations an art impresario has to wear to succeed, seemed nothing less than artistic in its own right. Even bordering the line of dramaturgy on the lines of some of the biographies I read or, actual events, on the perception of my romantic thoughts.
Being at the high hours in studios and early mornings at corporate meetings? Too much fun for an individual always intrigued by personal development and ongoing bridges of his own comfort zones, hungry for experiences.
A Path Across the Atlantic
That path that begun with me helping my grandfather in his studio, selling to the biggest banks in Brazil, negotiating sponsorship contracts, managing my grand mother's auction house and its incredible schedule of up to 5 auctions per night, led me first to Paris.
There I was fortunate enough to friend Catherine Hubschman and meet her ex husband Jean Leymarie. He had been the director of the Musee National d'Art Moderne de Paris (1968/1973), and personal friends with the likes of Picasso, Giacometti, Balthus and so forth. He introduced me to Henri Cartier Bresson and I began in Paris to weave a great network, that not only enriched my life but taught me many a great lesson, now to mention how instrumental networking it became on future projects.
A Path Across the Channel
Paris was however a too tamed society for someone with wild ambitious. London felt like a more suitable home. There I discovered a welcoming culture and a deep appreciation of youth entrepreneurial spirit the Anglo Saxon world is so known for.
There was also a noticeable void as vast as the Atlantic ocean I had crossed. The encounter of virtually no fine art from Latin American in London, given where I came from and what I grew up seeing, felt like an insult. And I turned that personal involuntary offence into a mission.
This void I'am aiming to fill drop by drop, with the set up of Sartorial in Notting Hill (later moved to Kings Cross), Tambo in Regent Street, the Scola project in Strand, as well as other so far unnoticeable projects that will soon produce fruits. I enjoy every day what I do.

PC blade vendor ClearCube Technology on Thursday gave a sneak peak at some upcoming products it hopes will drive greater adoption of blade computing.
At an event in New York City, the company took the wraps off a new addition to its line of I/Port user access devices that ClearCube said will improve video and audio quality for users connecting to PC blades over standard Ethernet networks.
First introduced last year, the I/Port devices, which are about the size of a paperback novel, sit on end users' desks and connect a user's peripherals, such as monitor, keyboard and mouse, to a PC blade in a server room. In the PC blade computing model, IT managers host all their data storage and processing hardware in a central location, while users tap into those resources over a network through devices such as the I/Ports instead of using traditional desktop PCs.
The I/Port devices use IP as a transmission standard, unlike ClearCube's older C/Port devices, which use a ClearCube proprietary transmission protocol. As a result, users can work further away from the blade servers. The C/Ports tap out at a range of about 200 meters.
ClearCube on Thursday showed off its new I/Port 8330 device, which it said combines the best features of its C/Port and I/Port devices.
The I/Port 8330 uses a new protocol developed by ClearCube to move signals back and forth between the blades and ports over standard Ethernet networks. The new protocol takes the place of Microsoft Corp.'s RDP (remote desktop protocol), which was used in its previous I/Port devices. ClearCube said the protocol significantly improves audio and video quality over its previous I/Port devices. The company is now beta-testing the devices and plans to release a single-monitor version of the I/Port in September, followed up by a dual-monitor version in the fourth quarter or first quarter of next year.
ClearCube also plans to launch new PC blades designed for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in the third or fourth quarter. Those blades will carry price tags more suited to smaller shops, the company said. According to pricing data obtained in February, a basic configuration of the company's higher-end R2100 PC blade starts at US$1,099, plus additional costs for user devices and management software. The PC blades support Windows XP and 2000 as well as Linux.
While PC blades are gaining popularity, they still make up just a small fraction of the total PC market. Two million PC blades are expected to ship in 2010, which is less than 2 percent of the total projected desktop market for 2010, said Roger Kay, president of market research firm Endpoint Technologies Associates Inc., in a keynote address at Thursday's event.
Drivers of PC blade computing include the desire for heightened security, improved uptime for mission-critical applications, lower maintenance costs, enhanced performance and reduced noise and heat in working environments, Kay said.
One technological advance in blade computing that could help drive adoption is the notion of the "configurable" rack, Kay said. In this model, server, storage, and clients could all be stored on blade servers in a chassis, and IT administrators could reallocate resources as demands ebb and flow.

If there's one cake recipe to have under your belt, it's a crowd-pleasing chocolate version that will take you from children's birthdays to your next dinner party.
Featured in Top 10 chocolate cake recipes, Celebrations
1 1/3 cups (200g) plain flour
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
200g good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
225g unsalted butter, softened, chopped
1 cup (220g) caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
1/2 cup (125ml) milk
Chocolate ganache icing
150g dark chocolate
125ml pure cream
20g butter
Chocolate curls, to decorate
Step 1Preheat the oven to 160C. Grease and line a 24cm round springform cake pan.
Step 2Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Set aside.
Step 3Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (don't let bowl touch water). Cool slightly.
Step 4Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. With beaters on medium speed, add vanilla, then add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour in cooled chocolate and beat until well combined. Beat in a third of sifted ingredients, followed by a third of the milk. Repeat until all ingredients are incorporated, beating until smooth.
Step 5Pour mixture into the pan and bake for 45-55 minutes until risen and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto rack to cool completely.
Step 6To serve, spread the icing over the top and sides of the cake using a hot palette knife, then decorate with chocolate curls.
Step 7To make chocolate ganache: Melt 150g chopped good-quality dark chocolate with 125ml pure cream and 20g unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (don't let the bowl touch the water). Stir until well combined, then set aside for 30 minutes to cool and thicken before use.
Step 8To make chocolate curls: Using a palette knife, spread melted chocolate 2-3mm thick on a hard clean surface such as a glass chopping board or marble slab that you can move. Stand at room temperature until almost set. Shave curls using a peeler or palette knife, pulling towards you at an angle. If the chocolate breaks, it is set too hard - leave in a warm place until more pliable. To make small curls, simply run a peeler along the side of a block of chocolate.
Recipe Notes
It's best to use good-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa solids for cooking, but you can use milk chocolate if you prefer.
To melt chocolate, chop it, then place in a dry, heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water. The bowl shouldn't touch the water. As the chocolate melts, stir very gently with a wooden or metal spoon to ensure it melts evenly. As soon as the chocolate is smooth, remove the bowl from the heat. If the chocolate overheats, or if water is in contact with it as it's melting, it will 'seize' and become hard and unusable.
Storing the cake: Cool cake completely before storing in an airtight container. Keep un-iced cake at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. You can freeze any leftover cake in plastic wrap for up to 6 months. To defrost, thaw out in the fridge, then at room temperature.
1) Soft-centred chocolate puddings: Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease eight 200ml ramekins. Omit the cocoa, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and milk from the master recipe above, reduce the plain flour to 50g, and replace the caster sugar with 1/2 firmly packed cup (100g) brown sugar. Make a batter as per the master recipe method, adding the flour all at once rather than in stages. Spoon the mixture into the ramekins. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until set on the surface but still slightly soft in the centre. Remove from the oven, dust with icing sugar and serve immediately with thick cream.
2) Choc-macadamia ice cream layer cake: Halve all the quantities for the master recipe, then make the cake as per the master recipe method, instead using a greased and lined 7cm-deep, 25cm x 10cm loaf pan. Cool as for the master recipe, then carefully cut a thin layer from the top of the cake and discard. Slice the remaining cake horizontally into 3 long pieces. Place cake slices on a tray, with plastic wrap or baking paper between each layer, and freeze for at least 1 hour. Clean loaf pan, then line with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhanging to cover the top. Return bottom layer of cake to pan. Working quickly, use a hot palette knife (dip it in hot water) to evenly spread about 1 1/2 cups ice cream (we used macadamia) over the cake, right to the edges. Repeat with another layer of cake and ice cream, then top with remaining piece of cake. Cover with overhanging plastic, then freeze for at least 3 hours. Remove cake from pan, using plastic wrap to help, then cut into 6-8 slices. Serve drizzled with chocolate sauce, if desired.
3) Chocolate and hazelnut petits fours: Halve all the quantities for the master recipe, then make the cake as per master recipe method, instead using a greased and lined 7cm-deep, 25cm x 10cm loaf pan. Carefully slice cooled cake in half horizontally. Cut each piece into 3 long strips, then cut each strip into 8 pieces to make 48 cubes. Set aside. To make chocolate icing, place 100g chopped good-quality dark chocolate, 60g unsalted butter and 3 tbs water in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (don't let bowl touch the water) until chocolate melts. Stir in 1/2 cup (75g) sifted icing sugar, then remove bowl from heat and cool slightly. You should have a thin, glossy icing - add a little water if too thick. Place cakes on a rack. Top each with 1/4 tsp Nutella (or other hazelnut spread). Gently press in a hazelnut or macadamia. Using a small palette knife, drizzle and spread icing over cakes. Sprinkle with flaked chocolate garnish (from supermarket baking aisle), then leave to set at room temperature for at least 2 hours.

2011 Lotus Elise SC Roger Becker EditionReview
The Real Ultimate Driving Experience — Driving this car is about as close to driving an indy or formula one car on the street and for anything near this price range as well. The models with the superchargers (SC) really make a huge impact on the vehicle, if you can get an SC or put a supercharger on a non-SC.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)
Pros: Exceptional driving experience. Power, handling, braking, its does it all well.
Cons: Don't bring a lot of stuff. Hardtop makes it harder to get into the car and is bolted on so its not quick swappable. Similar issues with the soft top, not easy to install (don't try in the rain!)

Saga – Viking Berserker
K, at least a couple of people might be waiting to see how that Berserker came out, so here goes!
I'm really happy with how he came out. I entered him in Thunder's monthly painting contest when I finished him (that month's theme was Historical), but it was the lowest turnout we've ever had. Good news is I won, but it meant a little less. Still, this crazy old Berserker was displayed in full view for a little over a month, which felt pretty good.
The wash came out a bit grungy, but mostly I just thought it made him look dirty, so I embraced it and tried to make it look like he's actually in a battle. Hence the wounds, and the blood running into the edge of his beard. The grey pumice stuff ended up looking pretty great on the base; I added a couple of Army Painter grass tufts to give it a bit of variation.

As a joint project, three caricaturists who live and work in Greece (Stavros Damos, Costis Papatheodorou and Rob Snow) joined forces to create a project to see how they would render each other out as caricatures.
The project aim was set to deliver a photograph of each other to the respected artists and those artists would then develop a caricature in their unique style of the caricaturist in question. In the case of mine, I usually like to render out a sketch first and then scan this into photoshop and then digitally paint up the artwork.
Surprisingly the two caricatures of Stavros and Costis both took roughly 6 hours to render out. They comprised of several layers that split the important areas of the work, as not to provoke redraws on an error. Also, as part of my new style, I have rendered the two images out at 600dpi and at a large 12,000+ px height. This allows the detailing that can be seen on the images to look finer when the images are reduced in size.
File size: 470.4Mbs/1.79Gbs (open)
Layers: 15 uncompressed
Dimensions: 9266x12166px @ 600dpi
Hours (Pencil): 30mins
Digital rendering: 6hrs
1 creative person, slightly matured
2 tablespoons aptitude
1 piece of aesthetic flavouring
6lbs hard work and sweat
4 ideas more than most
salt of the earth to taste
Take a creative person and stir in some aptitude, thoroughly from the start. In time, mix in the aesthetic flavouring with the most appropriate tool at hand, and then, fold into the mix as much of the hard work and sweat that the mix can take. Sprinkle in the ideas; the more the better. And finally, as all is cooking, a pinch of 'salt of the earth' to give it the necessary character. Leave to cook over time and serve when required. Tasty treat in a tasteless world.

New York City, U.S.A. - MacDonald's Corporation announced today to Wall Street analysts a joint venture with the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP) of Beijing, China. The venture is expected to produce revolutionary rice products for the international fast-food market within 3 years.
Work is already underway to genetically modify the oryza sativa rice species to become a Sushi plant. Preliminary results have resulted in occasional rice plants which produce a primitive spiral-type sushi roll of rice wrapped in a large seaweed-type leaf.
Scientists at the Beijing Genomics Institute were able to combine a rice genome with that of common seaweed. The rice genome is large, with multiple duplicated fragments which provide many opportunities to connect to seaweed and other DNA such as that of sesame seeds or crabmeat.
The MacDonald's Corporation anticipates substantial profits to be generated by the Sushi plant and similar genetically modified rice products.

JAY Bothroyd has paid tribute to Andy Keogh for his selfless forward play and insisted competition for places will keep every Wolves striker on their toes.
Keogh, who had already built up a successful understanding with Stephen Ward, proved his workrate and versatility makes him an ideal foil for anyone with another excellent display alongside Bothroyd in Monday's 3-1 win against Hull.
And the more experienced of the two frontmen was both impressed and grateful.
"It's a pleasure playing up front with Andy, he works tremendously hard on and off the ball which is great for whoever plays up there with him," said Bothroyd. "He also set up one of my goals as well, so all credit to him.
"As forwards we all train together every day so we do build up an understanding with each other.
"Wardy and Andy had struck up a very good partnership and both had been among the goals but competition for forward places is very healthy."
Bothroyd admits he'd been banging on the door of boss Mick McCarthy almost every day in a bid to get back in the team, albeit knowing it was pretty futile while Keogh and Ward were flourishing so effectively.
"Wardy and Andy had been doing well, Craig (Davies) too when he was coming off the bench, but it's good for the manager to have a decision to make," he added. "The manager always knew I was available - after all, I was there almost every day telling him!
"He just told me to keep working hard and that's what I did. All the strikers here are the same, it all starts with hard work and all the individual bits and bobs come after."

Confronting the Divide
With the results of the presidential election, panic is ringing from various minority communities across the U.S. I have read articles on and heard people talk about what actions to take to protect each other and advocate for one another.
Mr. Ahmed Rehab's talk at the Desmond Tutu Center's Biennial Conference this past November on confronting prejudice, hate, and fear mongering provided me with additional clarity on a moment that has been so emotionally charged. It is true that prejudice is innate. We have been hardwired to have it. By speaking about bigotry, Native American genocide, and slavery, Mr. Rehab modeled his message around putting ourselves in uncomfortable spaces and having uncomfortable conversations. Healing can only begin when the pain from prejudice and bigotry is recognized and validated.
On the issue of bigotry, Mr. Rehab spoke about the roles of generalization, misattribution, and reductionism.
Generalization is the act of generalizing important attributes such as behaviors and characteristics to a particular group. In reality, all cultures, races, ethnicities, and other groups consist of individuals that are diverse in beliefs, personality, characteristics, and behavior.
Misattribution occurs when "an act is contextualized." Misattribution says that a person's actions are caused by or linked to his or her background. In reality, when someone of a certain background commits a crime, it does not mean that the person's background is somehow inherently related to his or her actions.
Reductionism is the act of reducing complexity to a simplified and almost "cartoonish representation." In reality, the world is much more complicated than this.
As I reflect on the need for more uncomfortable conversations, I felt glad to have the language for these conversations. In emotional times such as this, having a productive conversation can be difficult. It is important to have the language and clarity in order to start speaking out when I see prejudice, bigotry, and hate. We have to lean into the discomfort because fear is what divides us. I hope to bring others closer to me in order to begin building those bridges and combat the ways in which bigotry operates.

The respectable international ranking of Global Innovation Index has included Ukraine in the top 50 countries in the IT field in 2017 putting it ahead of such popular IT outsourcing countries as India, Philippines and Brazil.
Innovation corner at Ukraine House Toronto proved that it's not empty words. Ukrainian business with the support of the Export Promotion Office, the Canada-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce (CUCC) and the CUTIS project, presented the latest innovation of Ukrainian high-tech. Each of the seven companies had something to surprise guests of the event.
Intela has presented the unique technology of artificial intelligence, which can help people determine their strong skills and choose the field of activity according to their talents.
Ukrainian companies had a chance to present their products to Canadian businesses to set connections with potential partners and buyers.
Despite the fierce competition from countries such as India and China, Ukrainian ICT companies have great chances to succeed in establishing partnerships with Canadian companies.
We hope to hear good news regarding successful cooperation between Ukrainian high-tech companies and Canadian business soon.

Okay so for duel smite, the attack 2 animation will be perfect.
King's will and blessing can just use one generic spell cast animation with a nice glow around a hammer.
The other is just an aura.
Okay, I shall make it so, thanks Candy!

Captain Drenn Stoneaxe
Well, if he's a tank, I presume he needs defensive spells... How about:
Granite Form - Toggelable
Adds damage resistance (10/15/20/25), spell damage resistance (15%/20%/25%/30%), chance to stun melee attackers (due to toughness of his granite skin) and reduces movement speed. Toggelable, but has a cooldown after you deactivate it. Uses the "stone" transformation animation.
Hammer Swing - Active
Swings his hammer in an arc in front of himself, damaging, stunning and pushing back all enemy units. Low-med damage, stun, relatively low cooldown and mana cost, so it's spammable. Animation should be some frontal swing with fiery effect on his hammer and maybe dust or dirt effect on pushed units.
Jorin Brordi
Gear Aura - Aura
Brordi likes when everything around him is tuned up. Increases move and attack speed of nearby units, lowers cooldowns on Brordi's other spells and ally spellcasters cast spells more rationally (receive a percentage of mana cost back when spell is cast). I saw a nice Gear Aura effect, just can't remember where... It's like a cogwheel. Would be suiting... Spellcasters have the same effect as of a mana fountain regeneration when they receive mana back.
Hollyness Aura - Aura
Gives nearby allied units increased hit point regeneration and whenever the priest casts a spell nearby units are healed and gain a temporary defense bonus.
Holly Fire - AOE target
Targets an area and smites it with fire from the sky. You can add all sorts of secondary effects (DOT, slowing, missing, armor decrease), can be instant, channeling... Should have something like fire and holly effects in the area.
Blessed Armor - Passive
Priests are equipped with only the best armor that is blessed in their monasteries. As priests strength grows he is able to incorporate more and more holly power to his armor. Gives armor bonus, has a chance to heal all nearby allied units when the priest is attacked and increases mana regeneration.
Mort Blackblade
Fighting Master - Passive
Blackblade has spent his whole life studding and improving different fighting stiles and has a large amount of special moves in his repertoire. Gets a percentage chance to do a special move when attacking. There should be several of these moves, like: damage and slow enemies in the area, damage and stun all enemies in front of him (like impale but without bouncing them of the ground), do a % more damage to a single unit and stun it, bounce back a single unit, hit different body parts (legs = slow, weapon/arms = lower damage, head = stun or silence) etc. All moves should come with it's own effect (ground crack, blood, different effects on the sword...).
Terrifying Shout - Active, AOE buff/debuff
Shouts a hearth stopping roar. All nearby allied units gain more damage but also receive more damage, and enemies have lower armor. There are a lot of "shout" effects on the net at your disposal.
Obsidian Guard
Soul Armor - Passive
Obsidian Guard's armor is powered by dark magics. It gives defense bonuses to it's wearer and induces fear in his enemies. For every unit killed Obsidian Guard gains armor bonuses and an armor decreasing aura that effects enemies. Has a starting value, increases with each unit killed until a maximum is reached. Splits effects in half (for example) if Obsidian Guard is killed.

Some spell ideas...
By the way I could do some spell coding for you.
-Earthquake: Slams the ground with a mighty hammer, knocking nearby units back a few feet, then a 2nd wave hurls them into the air, sending them back even further and damaging them when they hit the ground.
-Sword/axe/hammer of the Inferno: Causes the weapon to be heated and turn aflame, and on the next attack unleashes flames in 5 "veins" that spur out and burn the ground.
-Hammer/axe/sword of the Heavans: Causes a lightning bolt to come down and strike the hero's weapon, enchanting it. He then does the blademaster's "slam" animation, shooting lightning at 3 enemies in front of him, which then branches off to hit 3-5 more each (like 3 chain lightnings).
-Lightning Feet: The hero's feet are enchanted with lightning balls which allow them to leap over a great distance (about 1000-1500 range), shocking enemies under him, then causing a thunder clap when he lands, knocking back enemies.
-Path of Destruction: Emblazens the hero's hands and feet and sending them shooting in a straight line, cutting through enemies and slamming them aside. They have 10 bonus fire damage for 5 seconds after the spell is cast.
-Thunder Fist: Punches/strikes an enemy with a thundering fist of might, hurling them back 800 range and knocking enemies they hit aside.
-Horrifying Gale: Calls an incredible wind to push a huge section of enemies and allies back 800 range and knock them down (death animation), stunning them for 3 seconds.
-Avatar: Unleashes the hero's inner potential, connecting their spirit to the real world. They turn black and their eyes glow white and gain incredible abilities.

Circles 4 12
Ellen Stuckey Two-Dimensional
This art quilt is number 12 in my 4 Circles Series. When designing and creating this piece, I chose the dark & light colors of night to contrast with the bright illumination of red. The cross hairs of the black & white fabrics help give our journey direction. The artist-dyed fabrics are cotton and the quilted grid lines add to the structure and build a map of the journey the circles are taking.

text: Judith Crist, (Judith Klein), American film critic (born May 22, 1922, New York, N.Y.—died Aug. 7, 2012, New York City), earned legions of fans and the fear and respect of filmmakers for her pithy and often scathing reviews in the New York Herald Tribune newspaper (1963–66), on the Today television show (1963–73), and in TV Guide magazine (1966–88). Crist grew up in Montreal until the age of 12. She pursued higher education in New York City at Hunter College (B.A., 1941) and Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism (M.S., 1945). She initially worked for the Herald Tribune as an assistant to the women's editor and as a reporter (earning the George Polk Award in 1951 for her education coverage) and then was a theatre critic, arts editor, and from 1963 the full-time film critic. Meanwhile, she penned reviews and articles for other publications, notably as New York magazine's first film critic, and published books on film. Crist did not shy away from offending major Hollywood players, who sometimes threatened to ban her from screenings or withdraw advertisements, but she championed such auteur directors as Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, John Cassavetes, and Woody Allen. She also sponsored a small film festival in Tarrytown, N.Y. (1971–2006), and taught (1958–2012) as an adjunct professor at Columbia's journalism school.

Who knows what the future holds for Palm's webOS as a smartphone platform.
New owner HP's been talking up its usefulness for tablets and printers, but the probability of more phones seems unlikely, especially considering the number of Palm executives who are leaving the company.
Still, with $1 million up for grabs as part of Palm's second HotApps competition, it makes sense for developers to continue to release games for it, especially if they've already done the hard work for iPhone and Android.
Predetermined events
This brings us to developer Dvide Arts, which has released Crusade of Destiny, its 3D RPG titles for Palm Pre. Indeed, it's apparently the first 3D RPG ever to be released for the platform.
The set up is typical for a RPG with three character classes – warrior, archer or mage – many hours of gameplay, numerous side quests, elemental-based magic and enemies, and plenty of boss battles promised.
There's also a night and day cycle on a 24 hour time system and a balanced economic system for trading.
Of course, the only thing that's different for the Pre version compared to the iPhone and Android versions is the price.
What's 99c on Apple's App Store is $4.99 on the Palm App Catalog (link). Still that's cheaper than the $5.99 price on Google's Android Market.

Due to the HUGE amount of robotic spam registrations for new user accounts, I have to temporarily disable new account registrations until a new version of the forum is released. The developers for the forum software are almost done with the newest version
There have been over 500 new registrations the past month that the moderators and I had to delete. I hope you all understand why this has to be done as it's just creating too much work at this moment. Spammers are getting more and more annoying to deal with, but for the enjoyment of existing forum members, I'll keep an eye out for more effective ways to block those spam registrations.
As always, any comments/feedback are always welcome.

Sometimes no matter how hard you try, you can't escape a trendy piece – case in point, this ruffle, faux-wrap dress. If you're an Instagram-junkie, you've probably seen some sort of variation of it on your feed.
There's a reason why it's everywhere – it works for pretty much every body type and it screams spring and summer. Wrap dresses are notorious for easy dressing and looking good on everyone. There are so many variations out there: from pricey to inexpensive, bold colors to pastels, and fun prints to solid colors, you're bound to find one that fits your style.
This one stood out to me because it was a bright yellow color (perfect for our trip to Charleston!) and the ruffle details were exactly where I wanted them. The price was great too (sadly it sold out already) but I found a lot of great alternatives for you guys that I'm linking below.
Click to Shop the Look
If you've been following me along for quite some time you know I don't always go for trendy pieces just because. They have to fit my style too and actually look good on me. There's nothing worse than trying to make a piece of clothing fit you when clearly it's not for you – believe me, I've tried.
I'm 5'1 and curvier so the struggle is real. That's why when I finally gave into the dress all over Instagram and it flattered me, I knew I had to share with you guys.
This week I'm headed to Miami for the first time and I'm so excited! My friend is turning the big 3-0 so we absolutely had to celebrate in a big way. I've been doing a little shopping for the trip and it's so funny how I tweak my look just a bit to fit the city I'm visiting. Are you the same? Everything I've been picking up I keep saying, "That's so Miami!" lol.
Let me know if you're into the faux-wrap dress trend and if you're picking one up for spring and summer? I'd love to know if you'd go for a bold color or not?
Happy Monday loves. Thanks for stopping by!

VALADAO, DENHAM lead GOP 'rebellion' on DACA -- CALIFORNIA's LANDMARK mandate on SOLAR -- COURAGE CAMPAIGN's new drive -- NANCY and KEVIN: Tale of two cities
Presented by Noom
By Carla Marinucci (cmarinu[email protected]) and David Siders ([email protected]) with Candice Norwood ([email protected])
THE BUZZ: Rep. Jeff Denham, with the help of Rep. David Valadao — both endangered House Republicans squarely in the sites of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee — made a bold move Wednesday, joining with a group of other House GOP moderates to force a vote on DACA. Don't get your hopes up too high, but this could be a game-changer.
-- LATimes' Sarah D. Wire's take, headlined "Rebellious Republicans move to force a vote on Dreamers despite leaders' objections" -- "A bipartisan group of House members led by California Rep. Jeff Denham, a Republican from Turlock, filed a petition Wednesday to force a vote on four immigration bills over the objections of GOP leadership."
-- "It's rare for a Republican lawmaker to attempt to circumvent the wishes of a House speaker from his or her own party. Getting the backing of enough colleagues to actually take advantage of the arcane maneuver is almost unheard of."
-- "The petition needs signatures from a majority of House members to be considered. If at least 25 Republicans sign the so-called discharge petition, it is expected that all Democrats also will sign, providing the signatures needed to force a vote."
-- "Republicans move to force DACA vote in defiance of Ryan,'' via POLITICO's Rachael Bade: Story.
-- POLITICO's Jake Sherman: "THIS IS A PROCESS THAT WOULD SET UP A FREE FOR ALL in the middle of the election year. ... FOR THIS PETITION TO WORK, 193 Democrats would need to sign on — which seems likely. If that happens, 18 more Republicans need to get on board to force this debate. Track the signatories here: http://bit.ly/2wrCTIf
THE BACK STORY, via Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, professor at USC Price School of Public Policy: "The Republicans in California just want to be on record as supporting a more moderate immigration reform. The message is that they understand they are at risk, and it may make it more difficult to take them out. They're moving in the direction of a changing constituencies, and it allows them to separate themselves from Trump and the negative perception of the GOP Congress. The real motivation is the midterm elections."
-- On Denham and Valadao's 2018 prospects: "Both are at risk. They're not in the top seven [Republicans under the gun in California], but they're the other two in the top nine."
BUENOS DÍAS, good Thursday morning. A new drive by the Courage Campaign wades into seven GOP-held House seats. It's a new landmark for solar energy in California, and Antonio Villaraigosa's allies are hitting Republican John Cox in the battle for the second spot in the general election for governor.
Where's Jerry? No public schedule.
FIRST IN PLAYBOOK: Courage Campaign launches #CaliforniaCounts -- The liberal advocacy group Courage Campaign today will kick off its new effort, #CaliforniaCounts, going up with its first digital ad in its effort to wade into the seven Republican-held House seats in California that Hillary Clinton carried in 2016. The group expects to spend $800,000 on the campaign through November.
-- Touting "the historic role that California will play in the 2018 election," the ad includes this admonition often overlooked in a heavily Democratic state: "Right now, we send more Republicans to Congress than every state except Texas and Florida." View the ad here
-- Courage Campaign said the initiative will include phone banking targeting infrequent or lapsed Democratic voters, as well as newly registered Democrats. It also includes peer-to-peer text messaging and email platforms.
-- Eddie Kurtz, president and executive director of the group, said the campaign will initially focus most heavily in CA-39, CA-48, CA-49 — the three districts where he considers Democrats most at risk of failing to advance a candidate to the general election in California's top-two primaries. Of the messaging, he said, "It's a positive frame: You count, California counts … You're being misrepresented" by Republicans in the House. For Democrats in districts represented by Republicans, he said, the message is, "If we rise up and are counted, we can give this guy the boot."
-- Campaign website here: https://cacounts.org/
TWEET OF THE DAY: LATimes' Evan Halper @EvanHalper: "An update on where economic growth is and is not happening. Americans employed in: Coal: 86,000 MARIJUANA: 125,000 Solar: 260,000."
BONUS TWEET OF THE DAY: @GovPressOffice: "Eye-opening report from @CaliforniaEPA & @OEHHA. The clock is ticking." Subject: "Indicators of Climate Change in CA." Read it here.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Has he endorsed her? No. No one on our team knew these were going out," Dana Williamson, consultant to Gov. Jerry Brown, said of Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia's campaign mailers suggesting Brown endorsed the Bell Gardens Democrat. Garcia is running for reelection, but is on leave pending an investigation into sexual harassment allegations against her. -- via CALMatters' Dan Morain in "What Matters"
It's Thursday -- Got a tip? Feedback? News to share? Let us know. By email: [email protected] or [email protected]. Follow us on Twitter: @cmarinucci, @davidsiders and @POLITICOCA.
-- SELLING TRUMP: Eric A. Danzinger, CEO of Trump Hotels, turned up as a key speaker at the "Meet the Money" conference sponsored by the National Hotel Finance and Investment Conference at the Hyatt Regency LAX in Los Angeles this week. And he wasn't alone: A team of Trump Hotel top executives included EVP Kathleen Flores, VP of development Mitch Garrett, and EVP of finance Mark Hawthorne.
-- TALE OF TWO CITIES: "Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy are as different as the two Californias they represent," by LATimes' Mark Z. Barabak: "The prospect of two Californians — McCarthy from Bakersfield and Pelosi from San Francisco — leading their respective parties on Capitol Hill would suggest unparalleled clout for the state, save for the fact the two often work at political cross-purposes."

Because eye allergies are very common, Dr. Larry Morrison, Dr.Michael Morrison, and Dr. Becky Vandeberg would like to share with you some background information regarding symptoms and treatment. Symptoms of allergies may include red, watery and itchy eyes, a runny or stuffed nose, sneezing, sinus pressure, a sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightening, and in severe cases, an asthma attack.
Watch the video for more information on eye allergies.
An allergy is an overreaction by the immune system by normally harmless subjects called allergens. Most people will suffer from at least one allergic reaction at some point in their life.
The most common allergens are pollen, dust mites, pet dander, insect venom, and food.
Symptoms may include:
- red, watery, itchy eyes
- running or stuffy nose
- sneezing
- sinus pressure
- sore throat
- coughing
- shortness of breath
- chest tightening
- in sever cases an asthma attack can occur
While there is no cure, there are ways to prevent or relieve allergy symptoms such as avoiding specific allergens, taking medication, or immunotherapy.

Very bad Marketing choice
"the N-Gage application which came with the latest firmware update on the N95 is still strangely empty"
Perhaps N-gage failed to take the market by storm because the first thing that comes to mind is a 1:160 scale model train, and not a telephone/mobile games platform.
Perhaps a degree in Marketing is a bit less valuable in the real world than used bog roll. Certainly most Marketers are.

The queen mother of Abura Dunkwa in the Central Region, Nana Afariwa Nyarkoh III, has appeared before the Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District Security Committee (DISEC) to answer questions in relation to the gruesome murder of the chief linguist of the town, Okyeame Kojo Mensah and his wife.
This was after a seven-member committee set up by the chief and people of the town to investigate the death had accused her of masterminding the attack in their report.
The committee further petitioned DISEC, chaired by the District Chief Executive of the area, Madam Felicia Aba Hagan, to invite Obaahemaa Afariwa Nyarkoh III for questioning.
Appearing before the committee, Obaahemaa, who was installed two months ago, denied the allegation levelled against her and vowed to seek redress in court to redeem her tarnished image.
When DAILY GUIDE contacted Reverend Edwin Kojo Sekyi, an opinion leader and spokesperson for Obaahemaa Afariwa Nyarkoh, it came as a surprise to them when the queen mother, who had been in a cordial relationship with the slain linguist, was accused of masterminding the assassination.
He said on the day of the incident, Obaahemaa was away in Cape Coast seeking medical attention.
"Upon hearing the sad news, she came down the following morning to mourn with the family," Rev. Sekyi said.
Reverend Sekyi said the chief and opinion leaders who wanted to expedite action to enable them bury the deceased persons, set up a committee to investigate the issue to find the person behind the killings.
"It was after their setting that they accused the Obaahemaa of masterminding the attack and therefore sent a petition to DISEC to invite her for questioning," he disclosed.
He confirmed that the aggrieved queen mother is in consultations with her lawyers to seek redress in court.
Meanwhile, all affected parties have been asked by DISEC to cool down tempers and cooperate with the security agencies in their bid to unravel the mystery surrounding the murder.
The Abura Dunkwa town in the Central Region was thrown into a state of shock and mourning following the gruesome murder of the chief linguist, Okyeame Kojo Mensah and his wife.
Okyeame Kojo Mensah, 48 and Ohemaa Efuah, 42, who was also the queen mother of Ajumako Etumbir, were murdered by some unknown assailants on Sunday, September 2, 2018, in their room.
The family woke up that next morning to find the throats of their kinsmen slashed with a sharp object. They were found lying in a pool of blood in their room. The assailants left without taking anything away from the room.

What is a Desk Assessment?
More commonly referred to as a display screen equipment (DSE) or workplace assessment, a desk assessment is recommended for anyone who feels that their workstation set up may be contributing to pain and discomfort, often in the low back, neck or wrist.
For individuals with an injury or disability, a desk assessment is an ideal way to identify improvements that can be made to the desk setup, the individuals working patterns, or recommend assistive technology (e.g specialist chairs) that can improve comfort.
A desk assessment considers your ergonomic setup and organisation of work tasks to provide practical recommendations to improve comfort.
Get Your Desk Assessed
We offer a comprehensive desk assessment service to individuals and organisations. All desk assessments are carried out by Chartered Physiotherapists with specialist training in occupational health, ergonomics and health and safety.
We have assessors based across the UK and can typically offer appointments within 7 working days. Appointments can be booked for individuals or groups. Discounts are available for groups of 5 or more employees assessed in a single location on the same day.
To book or find out more, please contact us via the contact details below.

This week I went to the best graduation I've ever been to: the graduation of former street women and men who are going through or have completed their rehabilitation!!
8 women and 1 man graduated, and out of them 5 had been admitted to the rehabilitation directly through our weekly work on the streets. It was amazing to see the change in their lives and to see them confidently making presentations in front of everyone. The same women who used to come to our street meetings drunk or high have now been drug free for 3-14 months, (depending on when they were admitted) and are looking and behaving like any other women.
There were different levels of graduation for them, some had certificates for courses in English, literature and other things; but 2 were celebrating their total completion of the rehabilitation and will now go on to live their lives as they always dreamed to!
It was such a joy to be a part of such a great day and I hope for many more to come!
Welcome to my blog! In case you didn't already know, I'm Ruth. In 2010 I graduated from University and before I even had time to settle down and get a job I felt a tug on my heart to go to Kenya for a few years to help in any way I could. When I arrived it was love at first sight; I loved the more relaxed way of life, the way Kenyans would laugh at EVERYTHING and the way people would put people first. On my first day there I also met Lox, a tall, dark & handsome African man who had the same passions in life as me and the more we worked & laughed together the more we fell in love & after a couple of years of dating we tied the knot & got married. Now I live, work, eat & sleep Kenya. It's great to be able to help those who are in some ways less fortunate than me but amazingly I always feel that I'm the one who gets blessed and learns so much from the people I try to help and from everything I do. Enjoy my blogs which give you a taste of this crazy yet wonderful life I lead.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with the backing rack in the middle spot.
Step 1: add a teaspoon of coconut to the bottom of each cupcake wrapper.
Step 2: add eggs to a large mixing bowl and mix on low till blended without over beating.
Step 3: now substitute coconut milk for the water in the recipe and mix on low till combined with eggs.
Step 4: add the oil and mix on low.
Step 5: add the small box of instant pudding mix and cake mix to milk, oil and egg mix.
Step 6: mix on low until all is combined then beat on high for two min.
This is how the batter should look after beating for two min. If batter seems a bit too thick you can add a bit more coconut milk.
Step 7: using a measuring cup fill each cupcake wrapper 3/4 of the way full (see above).
Step 8: bake for 15-20 min.
Step 9: use a toothpick to check if the center of the cupcake it fully baked. Toothpick should come out clean if cake is finished.
Step 10: spread coconut on a baking pan and put in oven for 3 min. Pull out and mix coconut around on the pan and then return to the oven for 3 more min.
Repeat step 10 until coconut looks like the toasted coconut above.
Step 11: if you do not have parchment or icing bags you can use ziplock freezer bags. Roll down the sides of the bag and fill like above.
Step 12: squeeze the icing to one corner of the bag and cut the tip.
Step 13: start on the outside of the cupcake and move to the inside.
Step 14: sprinkle each cupcake with coconut after adding the icing.
Step 15: add to your favorite cake plate and enjoy! {I did not have a cakes plate available, so I used a dinner plate and an upside down bowl to create the cake plate look.}
