2009 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab KBB Expert Review
The 2009 Toyota Tacoma may be the Japanese automaker's smallest pickup, but it has long since left the realm of the compact courier. The Tacoma is the best selling pickup in its segment and dwarfs the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet Colorado in every area that counts. Its closest competitors are now the Dodge Dakota and Nissan Frontier and, while worthy opponents, neither can match the Tacoma's long history of reliability and high resale value. Wrapped in muscular, aggressive sheetmetal and touting the most powerful V6 engine ever to grace a small Toyota, the Tacoma has much to offer those who take their pickup trucks seriously.
You'll Like This Car If...
If you're looking for a capable pickup larger than a Ford Ranger, but not as massive as a Dodge Ram, look into the 2009 Toyota Tacoma. When it comes to reliability in this segment, many organizations rank it at the top of its class.
You May Not Like This Car If...
If you've driven the Honda Ridgeline or Nissan Frontier and were impressed by their car-like ride and handling, you might be disappointed that the Tacoma still drives very much like a truck.
What's New for 2009
All Tacoma trucks are now fitted with Toyota's STAR Safety System that adds anti-lock brakes (ABS) and electronic traction and stability control. Also standard are front-seat side-impact airbags and full-length side curtain airbags. A new Automatic Limited-slip Differential (Auto-LSD) replaces last year's mechanical model and is standard on all trims except for TRD Off-Road Package-equipped vehicles. Access Cab models receive standard power windows and door locks as well as redesigned rear seat.
Driving It
Driving Impressions
The Tacoma we tested was a Double Cab, long-bed model equipped with a V6, four-wheel drive, five-speed automatic transmission and the SR5 package that includes an automatic limited-slip differential. Put the pedal to the floor and you can feel and hear the powerful V6 working, conveying a refined sort of ruggedness. On the highway, our Tacoma rode rather nicely, but it almost seemed out of its element negotiating city streets. In general, the Tacoma always felt like it'd be happier hauling or towing something or negotiating rocks in a river. On one hand, that's exactly the attitude many buyers will require for a truck. On the other hand, the Tacoma's competition includes some other very capable trucks that offer a more "car-like" daily driving experience – namely the Honda Ridgeline and Nissan Frontier.
Favorite Features
Six-Speed Manual
The Tacoma's six-speed manual transmission helps take full advantage of the available 236-horsepower V6.
Functional Bed
All Tacomas feature a composite inner bed with built-in storage compartments and four rail-mounted sliding tie-down cleats.
Vehicle Details
Getting into and out of the 2009 Toyota Tacoma is easy, and the firm seats are designed with pleasant bolstering and adjustability to fit most body types and sizes. Access and Double Cab models now feature active headrests which move up and forward in the event of an accident. A recessed, three-ring instrument cluster looks handsome and is in clear view. Most, if not all of the controls are easy to reach and adjust, and steering wheel-mounted controls for the radio are available. Overall, the mid-size Tacoma feels very roomy. On the Double Cab, the big back doors open up to a back seat as roomy as that in many small sedans.
The 2009 Toyota Tacoma succeeds by blending classic Toyota truck styling with design features of some larger domestic models. Oversized headlamps and a wide trapezoidal grille dominate the Tacoma's assertive-looking exterior and, at a glance, the Tacoma might be mistaken for a domestic truck. The overall exterior of the Tacoma is well done, and an impeccable level of fit and finish is a known characteristic of Toyota products. Double Cab models offer a class-first roof-rack system that attaches to the roof rails. Integrated deck rails found in the bed can be used to secure optional accessories, such as the fork-mounted bike rack and diamond-plate storage boxes. The Tacoma's bed features a protective composite bed liner that is both durable and light.
Notable Standard Equipment
The two-wheel-drive Tacoma's base four-cylinder engine displaces 2.7 liters. Other standard equipment includes an AM/FM CD satellite-ready sound system, auxiliary audio input jack, anti-lock brakes (ABS), front side-impact and side curtain airbags, traction and stability control, tachometer, two instrument panel powerpoints and rear mudguards. Access Cab X-Runner and Double Cab models include bucket seats with center console, power mirrors, power windows and power door locks.
Notable Optional Equipment
Options include the 4.0-liter V6, four-wheel drive, JBL audio with Bluetooth connectivity, the SR5 Packages, which adds color-keyed overfenders and front bumper, chrome grille surround and a chrome rear bumper and the TRD Off-Road Package. Double and Access Cabs can be fit with a new rear backup camera while transmission upgrades from the base five-speed manual include a four-speed automatic, five-speed automatic and six-speed manual. Optional body configurations include Access Cab and Double Cab models, plus a long bed. Hill-start Assist (HAC) is available on V6 models with automatic transmissions. There are also a myriad of TRD parts available including the Big Brake Package and a supercharger.
Under the Hood
Both of the Tacoma's engines, the four-cylinder and the V6, feature Toyota's VVT-i technology (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) that minimizes the compromise between low-end torque and peak horsepower. Combined with a choice of four available transmissions, two- or four-wheel drive, three cab styles and more, Toyota makes it easy to get exactly the pickup you want. Maximum towing and payload capacities are 6,500 pounds and 1,535 pounds, respectively.
2.7-liter in-line 4
159 horsepower @ 5200 rpm
180 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3800 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/26 (2WD, manual), 19/25 (2WD, automatic),
17/22 (4WD, manual)
4.0-liter V6
236 horsepower @ 5200 rpm
266 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3800 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 15/19 (2WD, manual), 17/21 (2WD, automatic), 14/19 (4WD, manual), 16/20 (4WD, automatic)
Pricing Notes
The 2009 Toyota Tacoma is available in 18 distinct model configurations with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) that ranges from a low of about $16,000 for a two-wheel-drive Regular Cab to more than $30,000 for a nicely-equipped four-wheel-drive long-bed Double Cab model. The Ford Ranger and Chevrolet Colorado cost less, but don't offer as much power or interior room. The Dodge Dakota can match the Tacoma's size and even offers the option of a V8 engine, but its resale values don't come close to the Tacoma's. A look at the Fair Purchase Price will show you the typical transaction price paid for the Tacoma in your area, so be sure to check it out before you begin negotiations. Toyotas are known for their legendary ability to retain value, and the Tacoma is no exception. Kelley Blue Book expects the four-cylinder base models to retain better-than-average residual values, while the V6 Access Cab and Double Cab models should do even better.

Only 10 days after coming in fourth place in New Hampshire, Newt Gingrich won South Carolina's first-in-the-South primary by a landslide.
With 99 percent of precincts reporting, the former speaker of the house maintained a lead with about 40 percent of the votes. Mitt Romney gained about 29 percent of the votes; Rick Santorum got 17 percent and Ron Paul got 13 percent.
Since before 1980, South Carolina has picked the winner of the Republican nomination.
In Jasper County, Gingrich overwhelmingly beat the other top candidates with 46.63 percent of the votes. Romney came in second with about 29 percent.
Romney won in Beaufort County with almost 43 percent of the votes. Gingrich won 35.3 percent. The county's voter turnout was slightly higher this year than in the past, with 26.6 percent to about 25 percent in 2008.
Beaufort County was one of three, with Richland and Charleston counties, to choose Romney over Gingrich.

See what questions
a doctor would ask.
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques to assess the symptom: Personality symptoms. These will include a physical examination and possibly diagnostic tests. (Note: A physical exam is always done, diagnostic tests may or may not be performed depending on the suspected condition) Your doctor will ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to openly share any pertinent information to help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis.
It is also very important to bring an up-to-date list of all of your all medical conditions, medications including dosages, and names of numbers of any specialist you see.
Create your printable checklist by answering questions that your doctor may ask below:
Privacy Statement
No private information is transferred over the internet. Do not use the "Browser back button", as this may cause data loss.
Why: to determine if acute or chronic. If onset is rapid and symptoms have been present for hours to weeks must consider delirium as possible cause of the personality symptoms. Delirium is an acute confusional state due to many causes e.g. infection, drug intoxication, alcohol withdrawal, liver failure, kidney failure, hypoxia, low blood sugar, stroke, heart attack or head injury. If the onset is slow and insidious and symptoms have been present for months to years a diagnosis of dementia, psychiatric illness or intellectual disability may be more likely.
Why: e.g. impulsivity, hyperactivity, aggression, paranoia, negativity, moody, irritability.
Why: Questions specifically about relationship, family, children, social support, occupation, general physical health and financial stresses. Significant stressors may cause personality symptoms or moodiness or may increase the risk of depression and insomnia.
Why: e.g. it is common for the hormonal changes in puberty to cause moodiness and personality change; depression can have bizarre features in the elderly and may be misdiagnosed as dementia or psychosis. Agitated depression is the most frequent type of depression in the elderly. Other symptoms of depression in the elderly may include histrionic behavior, delusions and disordered thinking.
Why: may suggest premenstrual tension where mood changes begin from 2 to 14 days before menstruation and are relieved immediately when menstrual flow begins.
Why: Intermittent personality changes may suggest the possibility of epilepsy, phaeochromocytoma, insulinoma and drug or alcohol abuse.
Why: e.g. if symptoms are worse in the late afternoon and at night, delirium ( acute confusional state) is most likely. Dementia -type symptoms and acute psychosis have minimal variation over the course of 24 hours.
Why: it is important for the doctor to know if you are a suicide risk.
Why: medical illness is an important precipitant of personality change, moodiness and depression, especially in the elderly (e.g. depression with chronic fatigue syndrome may follow an illness such as glandular fever or influenza or may follow an operation or childbirth; low glucose levels in diabetes can cause personality change).
Why: Certain mental illnesses known to cause personality symptoms include depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, mania and personality disorders.
Why: some medications may increase the risk of personality symptoms e.g. beta-blockers, anti-Parkinson drugs, corticosteroids, anti-cancer drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, combined oral contraceptive pill, progesterone-only contraceptives.
Why: Cigarette smoking increases the risk of multi-infarct dementia and stroke which may be associated with personality change. Cigarette withdrawal may cause change in personality.
Why: Excess caffeine can cause anxiety like symptoms. Caffeine withdrawal may cause personality change.
Why: Alcohol abuse and withdrawal may cause personality change and also increase the risk of major depression and anxiety.
Why: dependence and withdrawal of many illicit drugs may cause personality change e.g. amphetamine use may cause impulsivity, hyperactivity and agitation.
Why: may determine the risk of HIV and syphilis infection which may cause dementia and personality change.
Why: e.g. depression, anxiety, bipolar affective disorder, stroke, dementia, Wilson's disease.
Why: may suggest any infection that may cause delirium e.g. urinary tract infection, viral gastroenteritis, viral upper respiratory tract infection, ear infection, meningitis, encephalitis.
Why: Dementia causes impaired memory, impaired judgement and thinking, impaired verbal fluency and impaired ability to perform complex tasks. Personality may change, impulse control may be lost and personal care deteriorates. People with dementia may also have psychiatric symptoms such as delusions, paranoid ideas, hallucinations, mood disturbance and behavioral disturbance.
Why: may suggest brain cancer, acute stroke, meningitis or encephalitis. Headache may also occur among the range of physical symptoms experienced with depression and tend to mask the diagnosis of depression.
Why: A number of children have problems in focusing attention and maintaining concentration. In addition, many are described as being overactive, fidgety, impulsive and distractible. All of these behaviors may contribute to problems in learning in the classroom, as well as social problems. Conversely children with learning disorders may tend to have increasing difficulty with peer relations, tend to withdraw from social situations, or exhibit acting out, hyperactive and difficult behavior.
Why: e.g. depressed mood, crying spells, irritability, anhedonia (loss of interest or pleasure), increase or decrease in appetite (usually decreased), weight loss or gain, insomnia or increased sleeping (usually early morning waking), fatigue, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness, feelings of excessive guilt, poor concentration, difficulty making decisions, low libido, thoughts of death or suicide attempt.
Why: e.g. episodes of depression (often psychotic in intensity) and at other times episodes of psychotic excitement (mania or hypomania). Symptoms of psychotic excitement may include elevation of mood, increased activity, grandiose ideas, irritability, disinhibition (which affects social, sexual and financial behavior), rapid speech and racing thought, delusions (persecutory or grandiose) and sometimes hallucinations.
Why: e.g. nervousness, shakiness, tremor, restlessness, irritability, insomnia, poor concentration, heart palpitations, racing heart, sweating, dizziness, diarrhea, lump in throat and frequency of urination.
Why: e.g. hallucinations, delusions, disordered thought - may assist in differentiating schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder and severe psychotic depression.
Why: e.g. headache, dementia, seizures, stroke-like symptoms, irritability, depression.
Why: e.g. hot flushes, night sweats, heart palpitations, lightheadedness, dry vaginal, dry skin, headaches - Menopause may also present with depression and irritability.
Why: e.g. impaired memory, impaired judgement and thinking, impaired verbal fluency and impaired ability to perform complex tasks. Personality may change, impulse control may be lost and personal care deteriorates. People with dementia may also have psychiatric symptoms such as delusions, paranoid ideas, hallucinations, mood disturbance and behavioral disturbance.
Why: e.g. limb weakness or paralysis, facial muscle weakness or paralysis, difficulty with speech and swallow.
Why: e.g. relentlessly progressive course of dementia, chorea (continuous flow of jerky movements, flitting randomly from one limb or part to another), personality change ( especially irritability), epilepsy.
Why: e.g. coarse hand tremor most marked at rest, rigidity of limbs, slowness in initiating and executing movements and speech, expressionless mask-like face and dementia.
Why: e.g. a group of physical, psychological and behavioral changes which begin from 2 to 14 days before menstruation and are relived immediately when menstrual flow begins. Symptoms may include depressed mood, irritability, tiredness, headache, bloating, breast tenderness, tension and aggression.
Why: e.g. fever, pallor, vomiting, lethargy, excessive irritability, personality change, stiff neck, photophobia (dislike of light).
Why: e.g. loud snoring, daytime sleepiness and fatigue, unrefreshed sleep, restless sleep, morning headache, nocturnal choking, mood changes, reduced libido.
Why: e.g. weight gain especially central abdominal, change of appearance, moon-like face, thin skin, easy bruising, excessive facial hair growth, acne, muscle weakness, lack of or rare menstrual periods, poor libido, psychosis, insomnia, frequent urination, excessive thirst - Cushing's syndrome may also present with depression and personality changes.
Why: e.g. loose bowel motions, intolerance to heat, sweating of hands, muscle weakness, increased appetite, weight loss, heart palpitations, emotional lability - Hyperthyroidism may also present with depression, anxiety and personality changes.
Why: e.g. husky voice, tiredness, weight gain, constipation, cold intolerance, loss of hair - Hypothyroidism may also present with depression and personality changes.
Why: e.g. impulsivity, over activity, irritability, poor concentration and school learning problems.
Why: e.g. headache, constipation, indigestion, weight loss, dry mouth, unusual pains or sensations in the chest and abdomen - not uncommonly occur with depression and tend to mask a diagnosis of depression. Depression can be associated with many illnesses but it is important to realize that these somatic symptoms may be the presentation of depressive illness.

Friday Favorites - Vol 6 - Electricity (Or, the Night the Lights Went Out in Ohio)
It was just before 5 o'clock, so I turned over to the news to catch the weather. I didn't even have to wait for the news to start. They were already interrupting whatever show was on with weather warnings of a pretty nasty storm coming. Nasty indeed.
That picture was taken literally about 1 minute before the skies opened up. I barely made it back inside from the porch before it unleashed. And rained down every bit of its fury. Watching from Boyfriend's back door, it looked exactly like pictures they show on the news of a hurricane. Raining sideways, debris flying everywhere, trees bent over. They clocked wind speeds at nearly 80mph during the storm! I stood watching, horrified, as part of a tree fell across the road and almost hit a car that was driving! The lights flickered a few times, then went out. And stayed out. Of course, Boyfriend, who was camping in upstate NY at the time, had taken his good flashlight with him. Which left me scouring his house with my cell phone held out in front of me for the lanterns, which were battery-less, and not a "C" battery to be had.
Once the storm let up, I rushed home to make sure that none of the trees that are within 10 feet of my back door ended up in my living room. Luckily my house was fine. Dark, but fine. (And really only semi-dark. I have battery filled flashlights.) That night, I made a mad rush to find ice to pack my fridge and freezer so I wouldn't lose any food—especially my newly purchased butter and eggs. Driving around, I realized the reason my area was dark--A huge ancient tree up the road had fallen into the power lines, popping them right off the pole and scattering them across the street, along with all the tree's branches.
It wasn't until the next day at work (which NEVER loses power. Boo.) that I realized that I wasn't the only one without power. Most of Columbus and its surrounding areas were out too. Nearly a million people in the dark. (And all of them deeply reliant on their technologies they couldn't charge. I probably could've retired if I'd thought to charge people to use the plugs at work. Phones, laptops, iPads.. One lady even brought her hot rollers to plug in in our bathroom!) By the time I got off work at 5pm, the idea of actually finding more bags of ice to keep my freezer frozen was almost laughable. Everyone in town was out looking for ice. There was no way there was still any left for me. I luckily stumbled on some at random, and grabbed nearly 50lbs worth. The guy in the truck next to me kept shouting at his son to go grab more. When the boy asked how much they needed, the dad screamed back, "THERE'S NO ICE LEFT IN THE CITY! GRAB AS MANY AS YOU CAN!" And the cashier told me I didn't need to bring my bags in with me to pay… Yeah right, dude. I'm not letting go of these until they're in my car. And if anyone tries to take them from me, I WILL fight.
That night, facing a completely dark house, I hunkered down in the bathroom with a bunch of candles, a book, and some lukewarm bathwater to keep myself occupied before attempting to sleep in my silent, warm, fanless room. I had just gotten out and was starting to get dressed, thinking to myself, "I can just change right here in front of the window in my room. It's dark and no one will ever see," when, wouldn't you know it--All my lights popped on. RIGHT THEN. Thanks AEP.. I truly appreciate having my power back, really--I do! But you couldn't have waited until I was dressed??
I was one of the lucky ones. I got my power back after 28 hours. I ended up throwing out some of my fridge stuff (the unimportant stuff I didn't bother to try to save while I was packing ice around my boxes of butter), but luckily didn't lose any of the huge stockpile of meat in my freezer. Others around town weren't as fortunate.
There were some people in town, even those not too far from where I live that didn't get power back for 7 to 8 DAYS. They lost all the food they had, and had to deal with powerless homes with no AC or fans while temps crept back up into the 90s day after day. The power company was so overwhelmed with the amount of areas without power, they had to bring in people from other STATES to help out. I count my blessings that I didn't have to go through that, and I'm so grateful that things around town weren't any worse than they were, because we've all seen the ruthless power of Mother Nature. Things could have been a LOT worse.
The storm throwing off my baking schedule a bit was just a minor bump in the road compared to so many others, and I was happily able to get everything done and help throw a successful party. Even just my day without power makes me appreciate having it back, and makes me grateful for the luxuries of AC and everything that I have. Yay electricity!

Ha yup! I live in Columbus and also posted about how crazy those storms were that weekend: http://ladybuginlove.blogspot.com/2012/07/auntie-em.html?m=1
We were extremely lucky to keep power (whew!) Glad your butter survived :)

We have storms like that (and actual hurricanes from time to time!) down here in south Texas. Living without electricity is more difficult than people realize!! We're all so accustomed to having everything available at the flick of a switch or push of a button that we don't have any idea what to do when we're without it. I'm glad you had the sense of mind to find some ice and were able to find some ice and save your butter and eggs. :)

Wow... that was a rather redundant comment... =/ I guess I should proof read a little better before I publish my comment next time. Haha!
- July 24, 2012 at 11:03 AM
I heard about the crazy weather...luckily my parents didn't lose power but people right down the street did. I really wish we would get some rain. I honestly can't remember the last time it did! What a crazy season of weather...it is 110 degrees here today! Ugh!

Wow I didn't realize anyone got power back that fast. My boyfriend's was down for four days I think. We drove down Bethel Rd at night and it was so dark you couldn't even see all the stores that are there. So eerie!

Title: Marvel Heroes
Status: Offline Graphics: 3D
Genre: MMORPG
Developer: Gazillion Entertainment
Publisher: Marvel
Explosive Features:
- Based on the popular Marvel comic universe
- Diablo style dungeon crawling
- Voice acted motion comics
Marvel Heroes is an 3D Action RPG published by Gazillion Entertainment. Similar to games such as Diablo and Path of Exile, Marvel Heroes lets players assume the identity of one of some of Marvel's most famous superheroes. Players can choose from a wide variety of superheroes each with their own iconic skills and unique armor.
Players will team up with other superheroes and embark on a custom story written by one of Marvel's most famous comic book writers, Brian Michael Bendis. The game features unique, fully voice acted motion comic cutscenes which pay homage to classic comic books.
As players level up ingame they will gain access to new abilities which can be swapped out freely, allowing players to customize their superheroes role. Players can unlock new superheroes through random drops which can then be switched to at any time during play (no logout required). New costumes can also be found ingame, but must be crafted with items dropped from random mobs. Depending on what items are used to craft the costume, players can create costumes with unique attributes such as increased health or defenses.
Unlike traditional ARPGs, players can explore and fight evil in some areas of the game without having to party up. Certain areas are not instanced which allows players to team up and fight iconic super-villains which serve as world bosses including Venom and Rhino.

Gazillion entertainment does a disservice to the marvel franchise because this game was designed from the get go to be a cash grab sucking the money out of marvel fans. Boutique pricing for an average quality product. That's not the worst part of it though – as mentioned in a post here and everywhere else, the community is the worst part of this game, because it is composed by the majority of said fans that have been brainwashed into believing that this company can do no evil and any hint of criticism is met with swarms of abuse from its players and the moderation itself, that will allow fanboyism grow rampant and punish any form of dissention with unreasonable penalties like a 30 day ban for saying that a person is being totally stupid.
My advice is: do NOT spend a single dime in this game for at least a month or two until you feel secure to do so – otherwise, there's a chance you might get scammed out of your money.
One of the worst games i've played. Not just because the game is mediocre in itself but because it is probably the worst gaming community out there.
-Everyone in that game is a major Marvel fanboy. They take offense to literally anything that sounds like its against marvel or anything to do with marvel.
-Everyone in that game is so dumb that they believe all criticism and opinions to be fake unless your a long time vet. (i posted my opinion on the game, stated they were my opinions, and did it politely. And then for the next couple days every reply in that thread was "your just a sock puppet" "try saying all that on your real account" "no new player could create those new opinions". Like wth? Apparently you cant form an opinion on the game's content it has you repeating constantly from day 1 if your a newer player. To make things worse the mods allow harrassing to anyone who brings up a negative aspect of the game and will punish the player who brought it up. I had been told of this before i downloaded that game and never believed it till it happened to me. I brought up how the game feels very state for new players due to having to repeat all the content starting from day 1, and how there doesnt seem to be any difficulty present at all. I recieved an infraction for it after the community constantly harrassed me for "being fake" again. (maybe that community never see's new players so any time they get one its too much for them to handle)
And aside from that the game is boring. You literally start repeating all the content from day 1. You can complete all the dungeons in a couple minutes, and this is because it has you just skip all the mobs and run straight to the boss that you kill in a few seconds. The only interesting thing the game has is its classes which i did find enjoyable on the one i played (moon knight) but without any enjoyable content to use them in, the uniqueness of the classes become pointless.
Pretty much any other arpg game out there is better than this pile of junk. From game play to the community this game sits on the bottom. It's pretty obvious this game was created to bank off the name of Marvel and its franchise. It's just a shame it was allowed since the Marvel franchise deserves so much better of a game than this. I dont recommend Marvel Heroes to anyone.
This game is like turd we can eat for breakfast.
Marvel Heroes is actually pretty fun. However that is until you get to the max level. Once at max level trying to gear up your hero is a nightmare. Item drop rate is low as hell so the developer can sell their rare item find potions in the shop. I've been farming cosmic mr sinister and killed him some 300 times with 200+% rare item find and gotten nothing for it. Hundreds upon hundreds of boss kills in cosmic patrol zones and all I've ever gotten is one Hand of Doom artifact.
Also crafting in this game is a joke. Once you actually get the item you need, you will need to start rerolling its stats to get it to the best form possible. This can take millions upon millions of credits because the rerolling system is rng based. Get bad luck and you'll die of old age before you roll the stats you want.
TLDR: A solid if monotonous game of tightly packed rng.
On the note of randomness I should probably also talk about pet affixes and costume affixes.
Pets in this game give power, they give either flat attributes or % based bonuses. All pets have 5 affix slots. Here's the kicker tho, each slots have a bunch of different bonuses and each it chooses those on random. What is even better is that it randomly chooses the value of the bonus. So you can get +1 fighting or you can get +3 fighting. Fun right?
Well then there are also costume affixes. You can craft either defensive or offensive affixes and you have 4 affix slots on your costume. This is where things go fun again.
Every affix slot has a number of different enchant and it randomly chooses one of those when you add it. And of course it also randoms the value of that enchant. I mean having 1200 critical damage rating or 1600…who cares right?
Luckily costume cores are a bit different. While the stats and values on these things are also random you can at least see what stats you are about to weld into your costume before you do.
On a side note it took me 442 cosmic mr siniter kills to get his boss unique item. But I mean some light farming has never hurt anybody right?
Does anyone know why I can't play it on my tablet
great game so far…it gets better every week…well done gazillion
Cool game but the worst thing about it is that you are restricted to the hero you select when you start.If you dont like that hero the only thing you can do is buy another with real cash,farm in game currency so you can unlock a new one or make a new account on a different email.
At least i would like to have the option to delete my caracter and pick a new one from the starting choices.
Great game,But marvel heroes 2015 require x64 windows because low ram 4(3.2)GB >.>
Are they going to do a villians side of this so we can play the more fun characters like magneto and mr sinister etc. Or the big godlike ones like apocylypes!
wow very disappointing dc universe is 100% better then this crap
ur mum is crap.
somebody tell me why the game takes 8 weeks to download. I have fast internet , screw you att
ahmad is right, the game is crap. loot, xp, everything, just not fun in any way
ur mum is crap.
Great game, but it's all set up in third person from a great distance, much like old school games like diablo I and II. It is very, very hard on graphic card though, especially in places where there's a bunch of avatars all logged in at the same time. Expect a TON of lag.
Duh, the game is based off a mixture of Diablo and Marvel Universe. JACKASS!
Make DC Heroes and i will play
uh, dc universe is already out.
i cant Download The game because i dont know where to download can anyone give me the Link ?
the beta was fun, the game is fun. slight old school diablo one playability. good animation and look and feel of champions online. i agree with previous posts re: more than enough marvel characters for uniqueness merged with plenty of costumes and outfits; personal fav…MR FIXIT
bottom line : i got immersed and obsessed last saturday (it helped that wife went away). I bought a founders pack i think and the punisher ( i think i shoulda got cable tho 🙁
concerns : it was understandably laggy during beta but what are their specs going live? servers, support, etc???

Lick a chode
how long does the beta take to download?
I have played in two of the betas so far and I have to say I have really enjoyed it. It does have a similar feeling to other ARPG games like Path of Exile, and for those of us who have always loved Marvel comics the setting is great fun to play in. While I was also a bit hesistant about the idea of playing well known heroes rather than making my own, there is a high level of customization, both through the 3 talent tress that each hero has, and through the gear (costume) system. You can even create your own gear, allowing for further specialization of roles. There were a number of times when I really had to think about which direction I wanted to take my hero. I noticed that when l watched other versions of my hero fighting, we were not all doing the same thing, so obviously other players were choosing to specialize in different ways.
There have been many instances of multiple versions of the same hero appearing in comics, so despite that I did not find it ruined my sense of immersion. And frankly the buzz I got from being Thor or Captain America instead of some unknown similarly themed hero was far more exciting. I think they could have written that into the background of the game ie. a Multiple Earths scenario, but I feel my own imagination is developed enough to do that myself without worrying too much about the 'reality' of the situation.
There were a few high points during the beta for me – the public events are fun, where groups of heroes are trying to take down famous Villans like Rhino or Venom. They are tough fights even with 20 or more heroes struggling against them.
I actually liked this game so much I went ahead and bought a founders pack, so I could start play with a few heroes I really wanted.
Don't know why I said KINDA in my review cause the more I think about it the gameplay makes it basically like a MMO version of Ultimate Alliance. Like I said I'm going to give it a try but from what I have seen DC Universe is better which hurts me to say because when it comes to Marvel vs. DC I'm on the side of Marvel all day everyday. Stan Lee is a God. Lets hope the game gets better by the time (and after for that matter) it launches
I just played the game on closed beta and I have to say its not what I expected. It kinda reminds me of Marvel Ultimate Alliance and even though I enjoyed that game this is not a good thing. I will give it a chance as being a big Marvel fan I really want to play through the story. But I cant say I see non-comic book fans playing this because from what I've seen there are a lot of better MMO out there. I'm really not a fan of the controls (attacking and moving should never be the same buttons and if there was a way to change this it was very hard to find because I looked). I wasn't to happy about the click to move mechanic anyway. Not sure how I feel about playing as existing Marvel heroes instead of creating my own. There are pros and cons to this. Its still fun and you really don't care about it until you see a bunch of other people running around as the same character but with what I am expecting to eventually be an enormous amount of heroes to choose from I don't see this being that big of a problem for everyone. Despite a few things I don't care for I do think the game will be fun I just don't think at this point it is anything special or groundbreaking when it comes to MMORPG. I think it is worth at least a try. After all it is free to play.
The game's very awesome , i played it on last week's beta weekend. I have not played much game other than diablo 3 and tera online , now im starting to understand what people meant by saying " this is what diablo 3 shudve been" , its a very good game, items are unique , at end game i believe that no one can have the exact same stats item. No boring quest , a lot of adventures , Attacks are instant.
This game is definetly something that will be fun to play. Each heroes has their own unique abilities like the films and comics. For e.g spierman and his spider web glide on the sky lol. very fast mobility technique. Good game , definetly worth tryng.
Alright this is my last update.
At this point, I can't wait for the release which should be in a few more months.
They have improved so many things such as my previous complaint about open spaces; they added more detailed areas & most stuff can be destroyed/thrown depending on your hero.
I got to play The Hulk & The Thing this time, was impressed with both.
Nothing like Hulk smashing to see the mob surrounding you fly off the screen & into the surroundings.
The abilities do stay true to what you would find in the comics.
Also I would like to add for those wondering that the loot is personalized so you don't have to fear someone else picking up that blue or even purple item.
I found out last time I played too that skins as well as Hero unlocks can drop from mobs at a low % rate (found Hulk's Mr. Fix It skin).
This looks very interesting. Love ARPGs and with the marvel license, this could do well.
게임 나오기를 기다릴 수 없어 TRANS: I cant wait for the game to come out
After playing closed beta a few more times I see they improved the HUD & a few other features. I was able to make it a bit further than last time which is great (Venom spawned in an area, attracted about 50-70 people, & crashed the server every time). I did manage to try out Cyclops & Deadpool now since my Ironman data was lost.
My only complaint so far is the lack of ability variety & the inability to teleport to party members. With Cyclops, he has 3 different tabs & each tab has an ability tree to unlock. 1 is your energy power abilities, another for melee/CC abilities, & the last for passive buffs. The passive buff tab only affects party members, not you, so the buff for 10% additional XP means your party will outlevel you eventually if you play together for long periods of time. Only 1 ability in CC tree looks worth investing into (you knock enemies into the air) & the energy abilites only have 3-4 that seem viable. I do understand it can be hard to personalize each hero w/ unique abilites (15 playable heroes as of now) but to put so much time into 1 hero for only a few unlocks seems repetitive & boring.
whats going on? This game won't work. I keep hitting the A and B buttons and superman never shows up? WTF MArvel! I want to play with the superman and batman and all the other Marvel only super heroes, you sold me, wait…what?
I am currently a tester in their ongoing closed beta & so far it seems like it would be worth checking out once it has been released.
You get a few random unlocked heroes at first then eventually unlock more (this is just for beta so all heroes get tested) so I've only played Ironman. Their servers are only online a few days of the week within a 4 hour time frame so I haven't been able to get a full experience but it is very similar to Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
The public areas that aren't instanced right now are very plain & open, maybe a car or bench here & there but I'm sure they will add more later. You can see & help other players fight mobs & the occasional elite/boss villain in this area. When I played, about 20 of us ganged up on Rhino when he came out of nowhere in the city streets.
As far as loot, you find random boxes you can open which usually drops a generic item with +3 attack or something along those lines. Equipping these don't change the visuals on your hero. You also come across materials that you can use to build a predefined costume or you can grab them from the store.
That is all I can contribute at the moment, I will be playing it more tomorrow & will leave any updates if there are any.
so I think the website said it's supposed to come out spring this year. that's exciting I honestly can't wait. I noticed some people said character creation was an option? I didn't see that but regardless this game still seems amazing. I've honestly got a list of characters I've always wished I could be simply because of their powers.
Release is Spring 2013, i just signed up for closed beta. Hopefully i get picked
When dose this game come out? can wait to play
how to download marvel heroes
So the game isn't coming out until the end of this year? Did someone say Dec 2013?
I got a key to be part of the closed beta test. I have played DC Universe as well but this game is fun even though you are not creating your own hero. This may be something that comes in further developments. I know the wait is frustrating but it will be worth it as long as they fix all of the bugs.
i cnt wait for 1 year thts to long, DC Universe is better nd we dnt have to wait! so i am never goin to play this im not gonna wait a year for this piece of crap
I am looking forward to giving this game a try, but I wish these developers would write in more content for the solo player. I spend thousands of dollars a year on games and game systems and I have learned that if I want to multi-player and have fun, it needs to be with my friends, not a bunch of idiots I don't know. I like games that I can still play even if my friends are busy. DC Universe started out with the potential to be an amazing game and I even purchased a lifetime sub, then they screwed it all up and now it is not even worth playing for free.
This game looks sweet cant wait to play it, i love that it has the diablo gameplay style and i cant wait to blast stuff down with Nova
If you actually watched the gameplay trailer, you would know that you get to customize your hero with costumes and even power mods by defeating a boss. (eg. Magneto) Plus… some mmo's ONLY HAVE 4 CHARACTERS TO CHOOSE FROM and still have a great playerbase. This game looks like it's gonna be awesome. Can't wait to play it.
you cannot create your own character, which sucks, but it does look like an okay game, plus dcuo is a good game no matter what, it has a unique combat style and lots of customizations with styles.peopel should read around to know all the info about this game instad of assuming things.
DCUO when u reach level 30 thats it u need 2 noo also that dcuo was ont of the most boring online games cause u have constant upgrades and u need 2 buy it in the end
and at the end of the day marvel tromps dc
i think dcu will still be better.
Not at all.~
umm… is the game out yet?
I'd rather play UA2 than DCU's pile of crap, and this is like the motherload of MUA. 😀
I mean really,
Champions even dominates DCU in every single aspect.
That being said Marvel is like the adult version of the comic world.
We'll leave the DCUfanboying to you kiddies.
o shit
I heard that it was canceled.
Ye im kinda on the same thought, an MMO that you cant create your own character kinda bugs me, im playing champions online and loving it. But i work at GAME and ive spoke to a pc gaming REP and they have said theres going to be around 70 characters to choose from and more to unlock during the play through. im really getting excited about this game, i love Marvel and im a huge fan of MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE, and until they deside to bring a 3rd MUA out this will fill a void. oh and ye its coming out on xbox, pc and wiiU NOT ps3. aslong as i get to be VENOM ill be in love from day 1. if not its got to be JEAN GREY.
when is the game coming out
how iam cant download this game
the beta is coming in a few months
you can't download th game yet because it didn't come out yet
When do the beta come??
I disagree with the people who think that this game is crap because I think it's going to be awesome to play online.
yes i totaly agree with me . marvel is better than DC comics because DC comics don't make any new cool heroes and marvel comics come out with new heroes every month
It really amazes me the amount of people who prejudge a game…smh…I can almost guarantee if you're playing DC now and love it when this game drops you'll talk trash until you play it then you will sing its praises. Marvel universe dwarfs the DC universe and being able to mix spider-man's powers with say the Hulk sounds a tad bit better than the class system DC has…then again maybe its just me.
if u guys watch the actually video they say u can create ur own
when does the game come out cause ive been playing dc universe and got bored of it so just tell me when it comes out
is this game gonna be online pvp or will it be those games where you make clans?
looking forward to it.. but one thing that would make it better would be if player could make and design there own heores or villians… abit like DC Universe
This game looks like DC universe online but this has more features so i can't wait till its out and open beta
Yea marvel messed up big time. probably gonna be worse than 3rd spiderman game/movie. both were terrible in so many ways. if only they character customizations i wouldve seen myself being at least a tiny bit interested. but i think ill stick with dc universe. oh yea marvel chars suck on MvC3 just putting out there thnx.
I agree with you on the third Spider-Man movie Eric Forman as venom are you kidding me! (although I could probably see him playing Carnage MAYBE). However the game wasn't that bad it just didn't really improve on part 2 which can may it seem like it sucks when you go in expecting it to be better. But as far as marvel chars sucking on MvC3 you have to be joking. Wolverine, Deadpool, and X-23 are some of my personal favorites. But really any character on that game can be good as long as you know how to use them.
I always preferred Marvel over DC, but in this case i beg to differ. The fact that they restrict us to playing only the comic heroes really bugs me. No matter what they do , if they don't add character creation, this game will never match up with DC Universe Online.
I'm old I've loved marvel for years. But If anyone has played this game and DC, they know DC wins hands down. Unless youu're a Diablo fan. The creator is too stuck on his on game model to see the bigger picture.I'm sad to say,but this game sucks. 199.00 on a founders pack,I wasted my money.
Further more doesn't disney own marvel now.
wheres the signup?
look closely theres two spidermen in the picture
Playing the kids version is kind of fun. To the person worrying about being in a fight/quest with three Captain Americas, on the kids version the group is asked to pick one of the choices available so no one has the same one. You don't choose one character. You start with four and earn rewards for the right to play others. Unfortunately it appears that leveling up is just a pride thing and your heroes won't acquire more abilities. The game is free because most of the quests and heroes costs gold and silver to play and gold is hard to earn in the game after your first 100 from the roulette wheel. That's where the real money comes in. You can use real money to buy in game gold. If you think about it most MMORPG have less choices of characters than the amount of Marvel super heroes available to this game. You still get to use a unique user name. It's just your name is associated with the person controlling the character than the character yourself. If the adult version comes up with leveling to get new skills and power and choices for wardrobe, it would rival the most popular MMORPG's.
This game isn't even out yet and I already know it's going to be better than Dc online. Mainly because dc comics are not worth reading. So I am pumped that marvel has decided to come out with a superhero mmo that is worth playing.
I'm excited about this and loning to hear more.. Big Marvel fan so this is something i hope to enjoy.
Has anyone heard anything else about this ??
when will this come out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????
play now!!
is there a place to sign up for beta?
hi it's calld Marvel Heroes not Marvel Universe Online. and it's not alike DC univers u pick 2 heros betwen 5000 difrent heroes of Marvels comics and make your own hero with ther abilitys that you chose. i myself is helping diveleping this game

Wow this game is epic! Easily one of the best MMORPG games on the net! You guys have to play this! Seriously!!
how to play game all that happens is same tab opens again
its a beatful game i played it is awesome and thank you
It's gonna be f-ing EPIC!
Norwegian: Jeg gleder meg som faen, dette spillet har jeg ventet lenge på, klarer snart ikke å vente lengre. så jeg håper det kommer ut senere i år. :-))
im glad that marvel online is free its going to beat ps3. I hope it come to xbox 360 because every one wants to buy it people grew up on Marvel im wishing it come out sooner im not going to play on pc 360 is were its at i hope you can create your own hero
It's coming on PS3/X360 and PC.
if it says free to play why can't I and mcmuffin how do you play
well it will be free to play when they open the game. it isn't available yet…
why would i wanna play marvel online that forces me to choose a real hero…yeah i totally feel like being in a group with 3 captain americas and 2 wolverines….yeah sorry marvel DC universe still beats u…and so what ur free, micro transactions suck and I CANT MAKE MY OWN HERO!!!
Totally agree with You! Without making own character? Just one question for MARVEL – WTF??!! Dont You, MARVEL, see that THIS IDEA is the WORST IDEA EVER!!! I Play DC, even if i rather choose MARVEL World because i can be a hero myself.
From the moment of learning this terrible news about playing as one of Your characters ive STOPPED waiting for Your game Marvel. And so many of players i suppose.
I'm just throwing this out there… there are literally -tons- of marvel superheroes… If they put as many character choices in the game as they have shown in that picture up top, then I'd play the hell out of it, there are some badass obscure marvel characters. Of course people won't know any of them, and there will end up being like, a mass influx of the major characters, but that doesn't mean it'll be a bad game… Try not to give reviews prior to the games release, the game -could- make you look like an idiot.
ASLO, "You can also create parties, guilds and mix characters." I believe that last part is implying character customization… Which would be pretty neat, if you were able to fuse multiple heroes together, all I'm saying is, who's to say its good or bad? It hasn't even been released. Its got potential.
uhmmm………"ASLO, "You can also create parties, guilds and mix characters." I believe that last part is implying character customization…"
WRONG!! xD that part it's about mixing characters in the same party, i.e. x-men with fantastic four. Besides try to tell me 5 MMO without character customization. This game it's like a marvel ultimate alliance but massive. kinda pointless being a MMO without customized characters. i'll stay with DC and City of heroes.
okay people one this game is gonna be like diablo 3 but not broken so that already makes it awesome, and who cares if you are playing as the same hero as someone else, do you get mad in dc universe when someone has the same powers as you but they look different people need to get their heads out of their asses.
Yes I am certainly looking forward to pllaying a game that lets me sit in a room with 10,000 wolverines and 1 jean grey….
are you on glue mate DC sucks half the time it crashes or you get stuck in a wall. The whole currency system is destroyed and to top it all off the game is full of cloned items that end up getting you banned. Then when you ring the expensive support number your told that the iotems you have bought off the broker legally in game were clones menaning you have broke there rules resulting in a permanent ban. Dont be stupid son DC is an absolute joke ran by clowns. If you guys want a real mmo experience play something with pedigree not no mickey mouse opperation like SOE
SOE doesn't have pedigree? I guess you never heard of Everquest. Not saying others haven't taken the ball and ran with it but Evercrack was the beginning of this genre of games.
Actually, it was Ultima Online.
in the official announcement MArvel said each hero can only be used once. first come first serve.
If you took 3 seconds to read their site you'd know that you can make your own heros and you start at Prof X's school. L2read and then you won't look like an idiot.
Quit whining, McMuffin. City of Heroes and Champions Online are both free, and both let you create your own hero. Go play one.
how do you know that there micro transactions suck if the game has not come out yet
So whats the deal? Whats going on with the game?
wolverine is wasted
Damn! When is this coming out?? I need this!!!
dec 2013
1 year till now????
it wont play because its not out yet!
I can't wait till this comes out!!!!!
This game wont play!
It wont play because its not out yet
i know how do i start the game?????????????

Presidential response
President Barack Obama speaks about the shooting at Fort Hood during an event at the Interior Department in Washington. Obama called the mass shooting at a Texas Army base "a horrific outburst of violence." He said it's a tragedy to lose a soldier overseas and even more horrifying when they come under fire at an Army base on American soil.

Adult children face an increasing challenge in caring for aging parents.
By the year 2030, the population of Americans aged 65 and older should peak at 71.5 million, according to data from the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics. That's nearly double what it was five years ago. In 2010, Beaufort County's census showed the 55 and older population comprised 28.5 percent of the population.
That growth is having an impact on agencies such as Senior Services of Beaufort County (SSBC), said executive director Jeanette Williams.
"It's having an affect in that we are having more people ending up with home-bound services. That allows them to stay in their homes in the communities longer, and stay around families and have a social network," Williams said. "We always have a waiting list for home delivery meals. For those who are no longer able to prepare their food, it otherwise puts them at a disadvantage in staying in their homes."
Many people living alone are less inclined to cook. For a lot of single seniors, there is a lack of company to sit down to have a meal with and to have interaction with, Williams said.
"It's easier for them when they have people to encourage them and motivate them to have nutrition," Williams said. "Home delivery is our flagship program and our most popular."
The Beaufort-based county department also offers transportation, a community dining program at the centers, and outreach and health promotions. The three senior centers in Bluffton/Hilton Head, Burton Wells and St. Helena Island serve residents of Beaufort, Hilton Head, Burton, Bluffton, Port Royal, Lady's Island, St. Helena, Big Estates, Dale, Lobeco, Seabrook and Sheldon. At the moment, the facilities have room for those who use them and offer a variety of activities, including the popular Wii games and helpful arthritis classes, Williams said.
"We have more service demands than center activities demands at the moment. The centers are always able to accommodate what we have now," she said, "but as the interest starts growing and they want to know what we have and where we are, then there will be a need for more space."
A survey of 1,616 people age 45 and older, conducted by an independent firm for AARP in 2010, found that three-fourths of them wanted to stay in their own homes as long as possible. Various challenges associated with growing older can make that difficult.
"One of the programs making it possible is the Aging in Place Villages," Williams said. "It is nothing more than small communities of seniors in a residential setting looking out for each other, helping out with daily activities and tasks that some seniors are no longer able to do."
Among the assistance SSBC provides is finding trained homemakers who will take care of light housekeeping, non-medical tasks, referring those who need it to the right agencies to assist in minor home repair and providing trained individuals who can give the primary caregiver a break without interruption of care for the senior.
You live in one part of the country and your parents live in another. Neither can readily move, nor do you want your folks to leave the home they have occupied since you were a child.
The Department of Health and Human Services set up a network to help find long-distance care.
"If your mother lived here, the national Eldercare Locator would refer you to us in Beaufort County. We would talk about what your mother needs and then we could tell you if it's something we can provide or something we don't," Williams said.
In the event it is not something SSBC handles, the staff will search through its resources to find the exact agency that can cover the need. The locator asks for a zip code or a city and state, and provides contact information for the local office on aging, the state agency, contacts for elder abuse prevention, health insurance counseling, legal aid and long-term care ombudsmen.
"The referrals usually come from the person who needs the service, or a family member. We quite often serve as a resource for services the seniors need that we do not provide," Williams said. "By coordinating with various agencies, they help our seniors stay in place."
To reach Senior Services of Beaufort County, call 843-524-1787. The office is at 1408 Paris Avenue, Port Royal. Go to www.seniorservicesofbeaufort.org. For the Eldercare Locator, under the Department of Health and Human Services Agency on Aging, go to www.eldercare.gov.

A light-hearted, spooky, Gypsy-style Tango for children's animations or Halloween productions.
After a short Tango accompaniment intro played on organ/harpsichird and bass, the main theme is played on two violins panned to the left and right channels. Incorporated into this are ethereal pads and synth sounds that create a spooky feel to the music. Suddenly, in the middles section, the tempo changes to a fast polka that continues energetically up to a brief coda on the violins as the music slows down. The main theme then returns but is a bit more invigorated with extra percussion, clapping and an octave shift in one of the violins. The music continues briefly and comes to a satisfying conclusion.

ENMAT is Envantage Ltd's flagship Monitoring and Targeting Software. We are based in Manchester, and cover areas such as Bradford. We provide UK customers with the ideal solution for energy monitoring & targeting needs.
Envantage, based in Manchester, offer a bespoke Monitoring and Targeting (M&T) service to enable organisations to save energy and cut costs. The use of our powerful platform means that we can deliver a comprehensive solution and we are able to make it completely bespoke to satisfy your unique requirements.
Bradford Energy Monitoring and Targeting Software systems
Aimed at industrial/commercial SMEs and multi-site retailers, the Envantage M&T service utilises the latest in metering and monitoring technology, to obtain a full picture of your energy usage across single or multiple sites. Combining this with a detailed understanding of your energy needs, our energy management consultants are able to identify opportunities for consumption reduction, and quantify savings already achieved.
Envantage eliminate the need for expensive in-house expertise and resources, and we will provide a dedicated Envantage consultant with knowledge of your specific business energy needs. We will supply a fully hosted M&T system to collate the relevant consumption data, and then present this data in a bespoke format that is useful to maximise potential energy savings for your organisation.
Energy monitoring and targeting (M & T) is an energy efficiency technique based on the standard management axiom stating that "you cannot manage what you cannot measure". M&T techniques provide Energy Managers with feedback on operating practices, results of energy management projects, and guidance on the level of energy use that is expected in a certain period. Importantly, they also give early warning of unexpected excess consumption caused by malfunctions, operator error, unwanted user behaviours, maintenance errors and the like.
The foundation of M&T lies in determining the normal relationships of energy consumptions to relevant driving factors (production thoughputs, weather, available daylight, etc.) and the goal is to help business managers:
- Identify and explain excessive energy use
- Detect instances when consumption is unexpectedly lower than would usually have been the case
- Draw energy consumption trends (weekly, seasonal, operational…)
- Determine future energy use when planning changes in the business
- Diagnose specific areas of wasted energy
- Observe how the business reacted to changes in the past
- Develop performance targets for energy management programs
- Manage their energy consumption, rather than accept it as a fixed cost that they have no control over

Pets, Pets, Pets
"X marks the spot." Wish it were that easy to pinpoint the Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) clubhouse that was in Babylon from 1884 to circa 1925 (when it burned down). Knowing where would also reveal the site of the flagpole, for at its base lies the tomb of Sensation, WKC's symbolic Pointer. This week we'll explore 3 possibilities offered by readers. ( Previous "Pets, Pets, Pets" columns, archived 2/8/07 and 3/15/07 at www.babylonbeacon.com,".
give background on Babylon's prestigious pedigree- this sportsman's club, once on 64 acres west of Southards Pond.)
As for authentic documents, so far we have 8 old maps noting the WKC property. Some show the farmhouse and clubhouse. To add to the confusion, moving homes was common practice long ago, so the original, unknown site of the 1700s farmhouse (the temporary clubhouse, now 358 Livingston) is also the location of the mysterious, newer clubhouse. An 1886 American Field and an 1887 Outing article written by guests at the elite clubhouse also contain subtle clues and mention a view of the pond. These sources help analyze the following potential locations suggested by Beacon Babylonians:
Sandpit with a Water View? Linda Puglielli grew up on William St. east of Southards. She vividly remembers playing with her brother in a sandpit in the woods between the horse trail and the foot path near Gwynn St. about 55 years ago. She said that they always wondered why it was there. After reading about this possible Westminster connection, she revisited the sandpit to visualize the clubhouse there. Still the only clearing, but it had become more of a dumping ground. Could her sand pit be the fire ruins?
Pros: This bucolic setting is several hundred feet from Southards Pond. It is raised and big enough for the 40 x 60 ft. clubhouse. Linda says that it used to be all sand and more level. The sides were clearly marked by a natural ravine and a cross path. The spot matches both the 1902 and 1915 Hyde atlases that definitely show the clubhouse and outbuildings possibly the kennels. The old magazines say the kennels with their exercise yardswere distant behind the dining room, which makes sense because dampness from the pond would be a problem for the 100 dogs that lived here.
Cons: This seems too close to the water to be the original spot for the 1700 farmhouse. A sketch in Mr. Stifel's Westminster history book shows the farmhouse surrounded by buildings and fields. Later as a clubhouse locale, the "sandpit" doesn't seem to have enough flat land for a carriage road or the shooting house/pigeon shooting grounds (at least a 30 yard circle) to the side of the entrance. Old photos hint at an expanse of land.
Digging up a Development? Retired highway engineer and astronomer Robert W. Chapin lived on Thompson Ave. through high school while his father was a chief engineer for Robert Moses. Maps are an avocation for him. Mr. Chapin has a 1901 US Geographical Survey of the area which calls Southards "Kennel Club Pond" and a similar 1954 topographical map, pre-development.
He drew the missing streets- Gwynn, Pilcher, Morrison, and Park Way- on the 1954 map. Then he blew up the scale of the 1901 map 260% so it matched the 1954. When he lines up the streets and holds them up to the light, the dot that represents the clubhouse superimposes half way down Pilcher on the south side.
Pros: NY Dept. of Public Works maps like these should be accurate. Another 1888 Wendelken map (shown) supports the clubhouse (the bigger square) here too. A setting further from the water would have plenty of room for farm fields, and later the clubhouse's shooting house and grounds. Mid way down Pilcher would have a view of the pond 120 years ago especially with fewer trees obstructing.
Cons: All historical evidence is under the development. Any remnants of the WKC clubhouse- the wine cellar, kennel concrete floors, the desired flagpole footing were either bulldozed around 1955 when the houses went up or the relics are under someone's garage. I'd love to know if area residents found anything "interesting" when excavating their yards.
Sensation on Satellite Photos?
Former Babylon Town historian Bill Frohlich approached the search from above. After reading my 3/15 column, he looked at Google Earth and could see clearly "the imprint in the woods of what appears to be the location of a significant structure to the NW of the pond, S of the highway, and just E of the NE corner of the cemetery. There seems to be the imprint of an outbuilding also."
Pros: It's there, and fits the size, shape and orientation of the WKC clubhouse/ shooting house, plus a possible kennel further west. There would have been enough land. Try it. At Google Earth, click "Fly to" and type in "Morrison St. Babylon 11702". Also a different 1887 map might confirm this satellite spot. It's hard to tell if 2 dots are markers or decorative.
Cons: Bordering Sunrise seems further north than WKC's 1880 lease agreement. Any view of the pond would be a real stretch. I spend a lot of time in these woods now. The imprint may be left over from the construction of Rt. 27 or from cemetery vehicles. I need to look at 1938 aerial maps at Phelps Annex, find the real year of the fire, and do lots more digging to fine tune the search for Sensation.
…Old Sanborn Insurance maps have the best detail but this section doesn't seem to be recorded. Many thanks to my helpful historians. Perhaps 1 theory is right, or we may be barking up 3 wrong trees. Our quest continues….

Penn State: Trustee wants Freeh report re-examined
By Genaro C. Armas
Associated Press
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A Penn State trustee is calling on the university governing board to re-examine the findings of former FBI director Louis Freeh's school-sanctioned investigation into the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
Trustee Alvin Clemens said Monday in a statement that the critique released this weekend by Joe Paterno's family raised questions about Freeh's findings.
Clemens, a trustee since 1995, said that while it was a difficult decision, trustees should look at the Freeh report again.
Former U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh was among the experts brought in by the Paterno family to review the Freeh report. The review said that claims that Paterno participated in covering up allegations against Sandusky were inaccurate and unfounded.
Sandusky, a former assistant coach under Paterno, was convicted of 45 counts. He maintains his innocence.

Let them eat cake. – Marie Antoinette
While my own parents were making pies with frozen shells and canned filling or cakes from boxed mixes, my future mother-in-law was feeding her family on homemade treats. Apricot or plum halves pressed into sugary, crumbly pâte sablée or rich quatres-quart made with butter, milk, sugar and flour. Simple apple tarts in season, the apples straight from their boutique downstairs, much later coming from the orchard down the street. While my father was whipping up pudding from a mix, my future mother-in-law was preparing creamy, sweet rice pudding for les enfants, milk, sugar, and rice in a pot on the stove bubbling away. Simple, unsophisticated treats, indeed, perfect eaten for breakfast or that ever-so punctual snack mid morning or mid afternoon. Perfect for plumping up children on the cheap while assuring goodness in the natural ingredients.
The French have always had home-baked goods down to a fine art, quick, easy and frugal. Oh, don't mix up everyday fare with what you see in the French pastry shops. Those creamy, fussy, fancy concoctions are for special occasions. Holidays, birthdays and company. But everyday or Sunday lunches en famille mean homey, comforting, filling food, the occasional dessert simply to round off the meal.
For many years, we lived within visiting distance of my in-laws; our first home was a short drive from their corner mom-and-pop shop and apartment, and even possible on foot. When they retired, we had long moved from the northern suburbs of Paris to the southeastern side of the city while they bought a house in a tiny village (just 300 souls) one hour further east. With two little grandsons, weekends meant packing up the car and driving out to see them, usually for the entire weekend. Our sons would play in the yard, dig in grandpa's vegetable garden, splash in the wading pool in the summer and snuggle on the sofa with a stuffed animal and a book in front of the fireplace in the winter or play card games with their grandparents long into the afternoon.
While the boys were outside tagging after grandpapa, I would spend the mornings, Saturday and Sunday, in the kitchen with my mother-in-law Madeleine and watch her cook. We would chat convivially about this and that, the children, my husband, not much else. My mother-in-law was far from the stereotypical French woman, perfectly coiffed and made up, slipped into a twin set, skirt,and pretty little pumps, pearls slung elegantly around her neck. No, she was from simple country stock, a homey woman wrapped in a colorful cotton housedress-style smock buttoned up from knee to neck over her clothing, sensible crepe-soled shoes on her feet, heavy cotton stockings peeping out from between ankle and knee. Her wispy white hair was a short, plain boyish cut framing a clean-scrubbed face and she lived her retirement for her grandchildren. She expected us to visit every weekend and every holiday. And she would prepare her delicious, heavy, perfectly orchestrated meals for us as she had done for all those decades of her life, for her parents, her husband and children, and now us.
I would watch her, mesmerized, as she prepared a chicken to roast, her fingers smearing scoops of yellow margarine over the skin. I would watch her peel carrots or potatoes, the bits of peel flicking all over the cheap vinyl tablecloth, the pattern long scratched and faded from constant scrubbing. She would pick away the shell from hardboiled eggs to plop onto thick slices of ripe summer tomatoes or grated carrots in vinaigrette then whisk up a homemade mayonnaise to spoon onto each egg half. Her movements were quick and nimble from years of practice, homemade meals prepared and placed on her table every single day since she married and before without exception; her cooking and baking using only the most rudimentary of measuring techniques, her recipes memorized, her reflexes automatic. The food was far from refined, yet how good was her roast chicken and French fries, both tender on the inside, crispy on the outside. Or her blanquette made with veal, fat chunks of carrots and canned mushrooms swimming in a thick white sauce or her braised endives wrapped in slices of ham and smothered under cheesy béchamel or the pigeon wrapped in green cabbage, dotted with lardons.
Sometimes JP would join her, turning her rather simple, sometimes bland dishes into something a bit more spectacular. He grew up helping her prepare lunches while she worked in the family shop one floor below their apartment; as he grew older and into his teens, he often took over completely, making the meal choices and cooking from beginning to end, experimenting and making dishes that were not in his mother's repertoire, so he was no stranger to the kitchen and loved taking over as often as possible. Occasionally, he and I would hop in the car and drive to one of the surrounding villages or towns and pick up something complementary, a slice of terrine, a saucisson sec or some artisan cheeses.
But never dessert. Madeleine always prepared dessert. We would return home and she would be pushing damp, squishy pâte sablée, an egg-and-butter-rich cookie-type short pastry, into the corners of her fluted pie dish, expertly peeling apples with that old paring knife that had seen better days, the tip bent or chipped off, the wood of the handle faded and dulled with time. I would grab one of the long coils of peel that dropped onto the cracked cutting board and nibble on it as she cut the cored and trimmed apples into wedges (in her hands, never on the cutting board) – not elegant, papery thin slices seen layered on perfect puff pastry rounds in the finest pastry shops, but thick, rustic chunky slices, and pressed them into the soft dough, fanning them around and around in concentric circles, heavily dusting them with sugar before pushing the pie plate into the hot oven. In summer, the apples became plums, sweet, flavorful greengage plums from the tree in their yard or purple quetsche plums from a neighbor. In the winter, she would pop open a can of apricot halves in heavy syrup and press them onto the dough or pull a bag of tree-ripened cherries from the freezer.
Her cakes were simple, fruit the only variation from plain vanilla pound cake, genoise or sponge. Never chocolate. No pastry cream or crème anglaise or anything fancy. Just something simple and unembellished that could be sliced and passed around with coffee at the end of the meal, easy enough for small grandsons to pick off chunks with their fingers to pop into their mouths, the leftovers haggled over a few hours later as the sleepy afternoon faded into time to go home.
When I got to France I realized I didn't know very much about food at all. I'd never had a real cake. – Julia Child
Nothing American about this wonderful apple cake. No cinnamon, no streusel topping to be seen. Only a tender, most cake with a hint of vanilla and loads of sweet apples. Perfect for breakfast, snack time, or dessert, this apple cake stays moist and tender for several days. This recipe brings me back to those weekends during apple season out at my in-laws house in that tiny, forgotten village. It brings to mind the afternoon walks with my husband out passed the orchards, around the fields to the squawks of the chickens, by the cows, around in front of the cemetery where my father-in-law would eventually be buried, across the miniscule square in front of the medieval church and back to the house just in time to warm one's hands around a mug of coffee accompanied by a thick wedge of apple cake.
- 6 apples
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated white sugar
- 1⅓ cups (170 grams) flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- Granulated sugar or cinnamon-sugar for serving
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease (with more vegetable oil) and flour the bottom and sides of a 9-inch round x 2-inch deep cake pan (23-cm x 5-cm) cake pan, shaking out excess flour.
- Peel and core the apples. Cut each apple into thick wedges, about 16 or so per apple.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until thickened and pale, about 2 minutes.
- Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt and beat into the egg-sugar mixture in 3 or 4 additions, beating after each addition just until blended. Scrape down the sides. The batter should be thick and creamy.
- Add the oil, the milk, and vanilla and beat just until well blended. The batter should be thick enough to leave ribbon trails when the beaters are lifted.
- Reserve the slices from one apple and then place all of the remaining apple slices in the pan in concentric circles, filling the bottom of the pan from edges to center and then continuing; this might make 2 layers of apples.
- Pour the batter onto the apple slices in the cake pan, spreading the batter evenly, gently shaking the pan so the batter seeps between the apples.
- Gently lay the reserved apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the batter and press just to settle into the batter, not submerging them.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 50 - 60 minutes or until the top of the cake is a deep golden brown and the cake is set in the center. Use a tester to check that no more raw batter remains. If the cake browns too quickly, simply lay a piece of aluminum foil on top of the cake while it continues baking.

Pile Extractor Specifications
Repair welding is an important part of any construction site. A wide variety of repairs can be made to Vulcan equipment with welding; however, it must be done with care and with procedures that are in many cases beyond the capabilities of the ordinary construction site. The repair welding procedures we have online are as follows:
In order to remove an old point, the side pins (if any) will have to be drilled out before any force is applied to the Ram Point. A force of 50-200 U.S. Tons or even greater may be required against the flat end of the neck of the Ram Point inside of the Ram. If sufficient force is not obtainable to press the old point out, closely spaced (1/4" (6mm) apart) holes should be drilled in the neck or the ram point for the full depth as shown below. This will immediately reduce the radial gripping action of the surface of the neck of the Ram Point in contact with the Ram, and thus lessen the pressure necessary to dislodge the old Ram Point in pressing it out.
This page is to enable you to instantly develop the capacity/resistance table vs. blow count for two widely used dynamic formulae (Engineering News Formula & Gates Formula).
Vulcan hammers are designed in "families" of accessory sizing that are designed for maximum adaptability of accessories to a wide variety of hammers. Below is a guide to that interchangeability. While we can verify the compatibility of Vulcan and Raymond accessories, the guide to the Conmaco accessories is just a guide and we cannot accept responsibility for problems arising from the mating of our accessories with their hammers and vice versa.
One of the most successful information programs Vulcan ever conducted was the Vulcan Tips program. The first tip was issued in 1973. Although most of them were issued in the 1970's, Vulcan issued Onshore Tips until the late 1990's. They went beyond the Vulcan Data Manual in providing practical suggestions for proper operation of Vulcan hammers.
The idea of the Vulcan Tips was to provide practical maintenance information on a periodic basis to the end users of Vulcan equipment. A great deal of information was conveyed with the tips; some of it was later incorporated into the Vulcan Field Service Manuals.

I totally agree. A must have for moonknight fans. One of the very few experiences where you get to see moon knight in action outside of the comics. A very fun table as well. Thanks for the clarity on Seet. I haven't made it to the final boss yet but i assumed you just fought midnight again (Seth). Black Spector is also in the game as a miniboss.

Zac Brown Band Make Surprise Cameo in New Sonia Leigh 'Bar' Video
Southern Ground's Sonia Leigh has released her second official music video for her current single, 'Bar.' The song follows hot on the heels of her previous hit, 'My Name Is Money,' and now the video is hoping to make a lasting impression on country lovers.
And if fans think they spot a few familiar faces in the video, don't worry. Your mind isn't playing tricks on you! Leigh's record label boss Zac Brown and his band, the Zac Brown Band, make special cameo appearances in the clip, with Brown also lending some vocals to the tune.
Leigh didn't travel far from home to shoot the 'Bar' video. The Georgian chose Atlanta's famous Dixie Tavern, which happens to be the same spot where she and Brown both got their start in music.
'Bar' is the second single from Leigh's debut full-length album, '1978 December,' which she released last year. Fans can pop on over to listen to 'Bar' right here. Leigh is currently on the road with Uncle Kracker and Ty Stone. Visit Leigh's official website to see a full list of her upcoming tour dates.
