Fractals of the Mists
Fractals of the Mists
- Levels
- 1-80
- Type
- Dungeon
- Region
- The Mists
- Connects to
- Gendarran Fields
The dungeon has some unique mechanics and design. The party must choose the difficulty scale prior to entering the dungeon. This difficulty scale starts at 1 and can be increased. The personal reward level tracks the current position of the character on the difficulty scale. To increase the personal reward level, and therefore the highest fractal scale accessible by the character, the character must complete a set of fractals on a fractal scale equal or greater to their personal reward level. This provides progression in the dungeon, allowing players to continuously complete higher and higher levels on the difficulty scale and greater rewards as a result.
When entering the dungeon, the players arrive in Mistlock Observatory, a "hub" area within the Mists. Entering Mistlock, you'll meet Dessa, a scientist who has made explorable chunks of reality from the Mists. There are hostile elements that were acquired during Mistlock which you are asked to dispose of. You may begin by entering the portal within the Mistlock to enter a fractal. You will hear Dessa's voice while stabilizing the fractal. Once it is stabilized, she and her krewe will transport you to the next one. Eventually, you'll be looped back to the Mistlock.
[edit] Introduction letter
The Consortium PR and Legal Defense Team
A Dazzling New Attraction in Lion's Arch
The Consortium invites you to visit our asura gate near Fort Marriner to experience the spectacular scenery and awe-inspiring adventure of its newest attraction: Fractals of the Mists! Re-live the greatest and most exciting moments from Tyria's past as you test your strength, speed, and skill against some of the most formidable opponents from the annals of history. All this and more is waiting for you in the Fractals of the Mists! (WARNING: some fractals may cause injury, psychic trauma, blindness, or death. By entering this asura gate, you officially waive any and all rights to pursue legal damages against the Consortium. Participate at your own risk.)
—The Consortium PR and Legal Defense Team
[edit] Getting there
The entrance is an Asura Gate in the refugee camp in Vigilant Hills in Gendarran Fields.
[edit] Mechanics
[edit] Difficulty scale
Fractals of the Mists uses a difficulty scale in contrast to the story and explorable modes of dungeons.
- Your personal reward level increases by one each time you complete an entire run at a difficulty scale equal or greater than your personal level.
- Whoever enters the hub may choose the difficulty level, which can be up to the highest level of any member of the current party.
- Increased personal levels offer increased rewards, even if the run is at a lower difficulty level. Higher difficulty levels offer greater challenges and higher chances of better rewards, from foes, from chests, and from bonus chests.
- Standard changes at higher difficulty levels
- Standard foes spawn in greater numbers and at higher ranks, e.g. more veterans.
- Some foes will gain new abilities, e.g. in the Uncategorized Fractal, the harpies start to knock players back.
- Major changes at different tiers
Fractals include more substantial changes at level 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50, so players also refer to difficulty "tiers".
- New items begin dropping at higher tiers; other items begin dropping more frequently.
- New challenges are added at new tiers:
- Agony is added at the second tier (level 10-19) and it continues to increase with each tier.
- Mistlock Instability is added with the fourth tier (starting at level 31).
- Difficulty tiers are not directly tied to the daily chest reward tiers.
[edit] Mistlock Observatory
Mistlock Observatory serves as the hub area for the dungeon; it offers armor repairs, a merchant, and a token vendor for relics. A portal in the center of the area can be used to access the fractals; this requires confirmation from all players in the party.
[edit] Fractals
Each difficulty scale requires the completion of four consecutive fractals, the fourth of which is called a boss fractal. The fractals are randomly selected from a small set: the first fractal tends to be easier than the second, which is usually considered easier than the third.
- Aquatic Ruins, Swampland, Urban Battlegrounds, Uncategorized.
- Uncategorized, Snowblind, Urban Battlegrounds, Molten Furnace, Cliffside.
- Aetherblade, Volcanic, Thaumanova Reactor, Underground Facility, Cliffside.
- (Boss fractal): Solid Ocean Fractal, Molten Boss Fractal or Captain Mai Trin Boss Fractal.
Each fractal has its own story and environment. After stablizing the current fractal, each player must click a confirmation button before Dessa will transport the party to the next. After completing all four fractals, the party will be returned to the Mistlock Observatory and the difficulty scale will increase by one.
- Differences with dungeons
- There are no waypoints. If any party member dies, they must wait to be revived by their party or for the rest of the party to get out-of-combat (ooc), at which point any defeated member is given the option to teleport back to the most recently completed checkpoint (or to leave the fractal entirely).
- There are no repair stations. You can use an Instant Repair Canisters, spare armor sets, or return to the character selection screen and restart (returning you to Gendarran Fields, where you can repair or use other services before returning). Alternatively, some players remove their armor before entering certain areas in which they are likely to break their armor.
[edit] Agony
- Primary article: Agony
Agony plays a role in fractals at level 10 or higher; the amount of damage inflicted increases substantially at levels 20, 30, 40, and 50. Outside the boss fractals, agony is inflicted as part of an enemy attack, allowing one to completely avoid agony by preventing or otherwise evading such attacks. Bosses in the three boss fractals inflict unavoidable agony.
Agony's effects can only be reduced by equipping ascended items that include Agony Resistance.
[edit] Mistlock Instability
- Primary article: Mistlock Instability
Mistlock Instabilities are special modifiers that have various effects on players and their party's journey through the Fractals of the Mists. These can be anything from simple conditions to insidious extra creature attacks. This debuff starts at Fractal level 31. Every following level has its own Mistlock Instability.

[edit] Rewards
Monsters within Fractals of the Mists drop items and equipment equivalent to level 80 monsters of the same type. Additionally, Ascended quality items such as Vial of Condensed Mists Essence have a random chance of dropping. At the conclusion of each fractal is a boss fight similar to other dungeon bosses. Defeating this boss rewards players with a large chest that can contain rare and exotic loot as well as a guaranteed quantity of Fractal Relics which can be traded with BUY-4373 in the observatory. Reward chests from scale 10 and onwards will include the chance to drop Ascended items. It is generally believed that the higher the tier of the fractal, the better the drops (i.e. Difficulty 1-10, 11-20, or 21-30). Account-bound exotics drop in Fractals as well.
Similar to explorable dungeons, a player account can receive a daily reward chest for completing a boss fractal. This daily reward chest includes a Bag of Coins (which contains 2 to 4 silver), a number of Fractal Relics, a chance at a bonus Ascended or Fractal item depending on the tier, and a Pristine Fractal Relic.
For each player, rewards are based on the minimum between the selected Fractal Difficulty Scale and the player's Personal Reward Level. Also, players running at Fractal Scales lower than their own will receive bonus karma at the end of round. The consequence is that playing at a scale higher than one's level increases difficulty but not rewards, while playing at a lower scale decreases difficulty and rewards, but gives karma in exchange.
Completing a boss fractal will award the player with a "bonus" chest. This can be obtained for each tier of Fractal Difficuly Scale below or containing the player's personal reward level.
[edit] Personal Reward Levels
- The level of your personal reward will increase by 1 each time a fractal difficulty scale is completed at or above your current reward level.
- Completing a fractal difficulty scale below your personal reward level awards you karma, based on the following formula:
(640 + 8 * Completed difficulty) * (Personal reward level - Completed difficulty)= Karma awarded
- The
(Personal reward level - Completed difficulty)factor is capped at 10.
- All bonuses (from achievements, banners etc.) are applied to the Karma reward.

[edit] Ascended Crafting Materials
Certain crafting materials can only be obtained as random loot from foes in the Fractals of the Mists; unlike the above rewards, these drop from killing ordinary enemies, not for completing fractals. Each has a minimum difficulty scale at which it can appear.
|Ascended Crafting Materials
|Vial of Condensed Mists Essence
|Glob of Coagulated Mists Essence
|Shard of Crystallized Mists Essence
[edit] Tips
- Skills that block Projectiles, as well as Reflect and Blind skills are very important in the Fractals of the Mists, as almost all Fractals have multiple enemies that use ranged attacks and skills.
- Skills that provide Stability and skills that remove Conditions are very useful during many encounters in the Fractals of the Mists. Be prepared to switch skills often before different encounters.
[edit] Notes
- Most fractals are designed for more than one person. For instance, you need at least three to complete the Underground Facility.
- Despite similarities to dungeons, completing a fractal does not count for Monthly Dungeon Participation and does not award influence to your guild.
- Personal fractal reward level is account based; it is not per character.
- Rewards, including bonus ones, are determined by your personal reward level. For example, a character whose personal reward level is 8 but completes a fractal at difficulty scale 12 will have no chance to win rings or weapons.
[edit] Trivia
- Fractals of the Mists was introduced as part of the Lost Shores release (November 16th, 2012).
- 3 new fractals and 2 new boss fractals were introduced as part of Fractured release (November 26th 2013). These are Thaumanova Reactor Fractal, Aetherblade Fractal, Molten Furnace Fractal, Captain Mai Trin Boss Fractal and the Molten Boss Fractal.
- Prior to the Escape from Lion's Arch release, the entrance to Fractals of the Mists was outside the Consortium Gift Shop in Fort Marriner in Lion's Arch.

Robert E. Lee - Shades of Gray
An epic tale that looks beyond the black-and-white pages of our history into the gray areas of America's past.
When: Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013, 2 p.m.
Where: Rubicon Theatre, 1006 E. Main St., Ventura, CA
Cost: $25
Age limit: Not available
Categories: Performance art
Written and Performed by Tom Dugan
Directed byJenny Sullivan
The room is empty but General Lee is not alone; posterity sits in judgment. How did the most trusted soldier in the United States Army become its greatest enemy? Why did this deeply religious father of seven, a man firmly opposed to slavery and secession, reject Lincoln's offer to lead the Union Army and agree to fight for The Confederacy? Robert E. Lee - Shades of Gray is an epic tale that looks beyond the black-and-white pages of our history into the gray areas of America's past. Critics call this show "a script for the ages" and an "extraordinary, stirring, tour de force performed by a brilliant actor." Don't miss this spellbinding journey written by and starring Los Angeles Drama Critics' Circle Award-winner Tom Dugan (Wiesenthal).

"You lose, General Kenobi"-General Grievous
Oh man, that is the most painfully contrived Star Wars weapon ever, and that's saying QUITE A BIT! Force harvester? Dark Side turbolasers? Wow, I don't think I've seen even fanfic that bad before.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
"We named the dog 'Chewbacca'!"
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I doubt they'd do this unless it shows up in the show, and I really hope it doesn't.
There are SO many other ships and vehicles, especially from the movies that need to be done before this. (And for the record I'm not a fan of this thing.)
Move along, move along

"You lose, General Kenobi"-General Grievous
It looks like a fat flying saucer. What's the big deal?
I loved the game, but even I don't want this thing. It was a cool boss, but a lousy idea otherwise.
Tommy, close your eyes.
It's not too far removed from the Coruscant Senate building
Wasn't there some kind of planet eater collector they used on Calamari (they got hit again) in "Rogue Squadron"?
"Ohh, maxi big da fish! Well dat smells stinkowiff"
"No time to discuss this as a supercommittee.... I am not a supercommittee!"
We do not speak much about Dark Empire. Aside from the introduction of Kam Solusar (who may or may not be the Starkiller of TFU; I'm still leaning toward yes), that series is best left forgotten.
Tommy, close your eyes.
That thing looks like the Gravitron carnie ride.
I'd rather get Paddy Acu's water speeder.

BIG KORN NEWS COMING! Say's Ross Robinson!!!

Re: BIG KORN NEWS COMING! Say's Ross Robinson!!!
3!!! Sonisphere in France too!!! lets hope for whole tour!!! OMG so happy now!!!
Re: BIG KORN NEWS COMING! Say's Ross Robinson!!!
Tour with Head and headline single dates (no festival!!!) would be KILLER! Can't make it to Ring or Park! :(
And about David: Music, and KORN, is all about passion! He LOST his! Take a look at live recordings from '99 and the 2006. Looks like another person beating his drum kit ... JD + Munk + Reg + HEAD + Ray, that's what KORN hopefully will be from right now. I don't care about this Restaurant guy, sorry.
Re: BIG KORN NEWS COMING! Say's Ross Robinson!!!
Ok Fair enough! You are right I shouldn't have assumed, my bad, But I just feel Dave should get a chance to play at least a few shows with the guys!
I understand that.

Re: BIG KORN NEWS COMING! Say's Ross Robinson!!!
You guys are being kinda rude. Drummers get zero credit, and it's sad that this band is no exception.
I stalk his Facebook page frequently and he's been completely nice the entire time. =\
but also on his personal fb page, he keeps saying same shittalk about bands families whenever he has a chance and is being asked of his relationships with korn
I'm with HHIGuy128 I'm not sure why everyone has their panties in a bunch about David. EVERY band member has said jacked up things, and people are willing to overlook it ... which is great ... *except* for David. I think it's ridiculous to say "David doesn't deserve a second chance." The fans, and FAR MORE IMPORTANTLY *the band*, has given MANY of its members a second chance.
JD - This is just an example, "Yeah I'm happy Head is off drugs and stuff. But blah blah Christianity is bad I don't respect blah blah blah"
JD always having to assert his opinions everywhere, never just settling for being happy for the guy. Later on the same topic, he has just said "He's preaching a positive message, so that's great," and ending it there. Newsflash: JD is human. He decided he should stop messing with the details, and just be happy that Head's message he is preaching is positive, regardless of whether or not he 100% agrees with it.
The fan community seemed to give him a second chance on this and many other similar things, electing to forget about these opinionated comments he gives. Very good.
He also used to be an alcoholic, and it's common knowledge that he was a douche sometimes because of that ... crazy right? Then he got off alcohol. Now he's nice. Whoa, second chances much? Good.
Fieldy - Huge, stubborn douche for several years. That's well known.
Converted to Christianity and became a really nice guy. Now we all love him. Pretty simple stuff, right? Once again, he's human.
Munky - I swear this guy is as innocent as they come.
Head - When he freaked out and quit the band, the band and the entire fan community was super pissed off ... especially after he made a ton of negative comments about Korn. Then he got his ducks in a row and became more rational about his huge life choice instead of emotional. Now he's keeping in touch with his friends in Korn, and making his own music. Suddenly everyone respects him again ... which is great!
My point is, these guys are HUMAN. They do some rude things. They go through phases in life. They change. The "David doesn't deserve a second chance" idea is completely disrespectful, unfair, and rude. Everyone except Munky has been a douchebag in this band (and even he probably has his moments), but they move forward and get over it. To disown David for a few comments on the internet is entirely insensitive.
Now then, THAT SAID ... If you are of the opinion "I don't want David back, because I think Ray is a better drummer," then that is a completely cool opinion. Or to say "I don't want David back, because i think Ray is a nicer person, so it helps band chemistry," that is also a legitimate opinion. (And pretty much a fact in that case)
But to say that he doesn't deserve a second chance is hypocritical (due to other band members getting second chances) and very, very rude. Despite being a celebrity, he is still human. If, somehow, after reading all this, you still believe he doesn't deserve a second chance, I will make sure to pass it on that the next time you make an off-color comment about your friends you should be disowned by all your friends, forever.

The Frugal Gardener
I'm a Tosa resident and gardener for 40 years who loves to save money. I'm the daughter of Maryalice Koehne, an award- winning garden writer. Gardening is holistic and can be inexpensive, let me tell you the deals I've found.
Greetings from FG on a Snowy Fall-like Spring Day
Good Morning Friends in Gardening Frugally,
Upside to the snow: I can see the cardinals better from the windows.
1507 Alice Street First Wauwatosa Home as an Adult
Good Morning All,
Please check out this gem for anyone who may be looking for a reasonably priced starter home in Tosa. 1507 Alice Street has extensive gardens and a lot that is 220 feet deep! It was featured as a Secret Gardens of Wauwatosa one year and an article appeared in one of the JS Communication's magazines
Great memories of bringing Andrew (oldest) home from the hospital. Well loved, updated and maintained home on great dead end street. Easy access to the Village and all WSD public schools!
Great juju in this house. 3 young couples I know had babies soon after moving in and one TE family had 6 kids living in this 4 bedroom home.
Peace, Love and Alice Street
Sarah Irene

That's about the only conclusion you can reach after seeing how they've only twiddled a bit with diet recommendations in the United States Department Of Agriculture (USDA) and Department Of Health and Human Services (HHS) publication "Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010."
The bloated government agencies that print such things seem to think that as long as they're bloated, then its a good idea to keep other people who are grossly overweight or obese because they don't eat and exercise properly … bloated right along with them.
Obesity is suppose to be a BIG problem in America and so there must be a few things that a lot of us are doing wrong … but in reading the 112 page report one has to ask where's the beef? In fact, eating grass fed beef may be one of the best ways to get protein with high omega3's and reduce your weight, but instead the report twiddles on about minor changes in salt intake and the type of fats you should eat.
What about sugar? Doctors and other health professionals have been raging for years about the amount of sugar in soft drinks and the use of corn syrup as a cheap sweetener in a ton of processed foods as being a big contributor to America's obesity problem.
In this report "added sugar" has been separated from the carbohydrates section that it appeared under in the 2005 report but not much else is said about it except you should try and reduce those kind of calories a bit.
The report does recommend the reduction in sodium (salt) intake to 1500mg/day for about half the population including African Americans, children, people with hypertension and diabetes, and people over the age of 51. Everybody else should limit their intake to less than 2300mg/day.
That sounds good, but salt is in so many things you eat that it is very difficult for the average person to know just how much 2300mg is. Unless you are cooking the food from scratch and can measure the salt going in, this guideline will be ignored by most people because it's too hard to track the salt content in every item you eat.
Here's a radical thought. How about them publishing a "do not eat to lose weight list" that would indicate the worst foods and drinks with too much salt and sugar in them. The list would be very long but people could then look to see if their favorite foods were listed and know exactly which ones to avoid if they were trying to lose weight.
That would never work on a political level however because the dodo would hit the fan and the politicians would have their phones ringing off the hook from campaign contributors (read food manufacturers) screaming for that list to become dessert for a paper shredder.

Popular, powerful patriotic themes will shine through the music of singers, instruments and songwriters July 2 when Parker Memorial Baptist Church presents "Celebrate America." The Independence Day concert should be a perfect prelude to your barbecue and fireworks fun in a most traditional way.
The concert is at 7 p.m. at Anniston High School. Familiar songs and tunes such as "God Bless America" and "America the Beautiful" will be heard as well a tribute to the armed forces. The 50-member adult choir and 32-piece orchestra will keep the celebration lively with top-tapping tunes, while the children's choir performance has been a favorite in past years for similar concerts.
Add to this line-up the songs reminiscent of USO entertainment providing a touch of home for soldiers by HeartNotes, a seven member female group, and you are in for a spirited evening. The group's medley is reminiscent of USO entertainment providing a touch of home for American soldiers.
In the HeartNotes group are Diane Adams, Lesa Askew, Cindy Cater, Karen Fountain, Debby Mathews, Patti Moore and Lynn Rice.
Don Gober, minister of music at Parker invites everyone to come to the concert. Admission is free.
"Come celebrate with us," he said.
Summer Showcase by Visual Art Society
At first glance, there's nothing new about the annual VAS exhibit in Hammond Hall and the variety of talent it displays. Here, viewers always find a collection of new ideas, stories and thoughts. What is new this year are the contributions of four new society members who have totally different approaches to expressions in art. At the opening Tuesday, the gallery was a room of colorful intensity and energy with the work of 25 artists. It will be up through July 5.
New members Judy Glass and Pam Smith are wildlife photographers, whose photos were taken on safaris with Larry K. Martin. Photographer Jim Davenport's work includes sports, events, nature and landmarks, while Dauphine Sowell is a textile artist, using a variety of paint, ink and other materials to paint doilies. She also writes manuals for the military and is a graphic artist.
Davenport's next challenge will be photographing people, he said.
"I'll enjoy the character study that goes with that," he added. In this exhibit his "Nashville at Night" image was a realistic, dramatic reminder of all Nashville has to offer. His setting is nightlife downtown on a street that borders the Cumberland River.
Sowell's favorite vintage textiles are doilies, which are often circular starting from the center and working outward, she said.
"I was at the top of the collector bell-curve when I decided to use watercolors to paint the doilies I'd collected over the years," she explained. "I now employ fabric dyes, regular and oil pastels, acrylic paints, inks, stains, and Sharpie permanent markers to color the ubiquitous textiles named after the 17th-century London draper, Doiley."
About 20 pieces from her collection known as "DoilyArt par Dauphine" will be featured in the Ayers Room at the Public Library of Anniston and Calhoun County in August. The opening reception will be Aug. 2.
"I hope my exhibit will revive interest in doilies and other vintage textiles, as well as the lost arts of knotting," she said.
Etowah Youth Orchestras final auditions
The Etowah Youth Orchestras has announced a final round of auditions for the 2013-2014 season of the EYO. The auditions will be held July 23 at The Music Center at Temple Beth Israel in downtown Gadsden.
"These auditions are being held to fill vacancies in the ensembles that were not filled during the first two rounds of auditions," stated EYO Music Director Mike Gagliardo. "Currently we have openings for string players at all levels, flutes, clarinets, bass clarinets, bassoons, baritone saxophones, French horns, trombones, tubas and percussionists."
Audition information can be found on the EYO website at www.culturalarts.org/eyo. Interested students and parents can also contact the EYO offices at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 256-543-2787, ext. 33.

Caught this big Tom strutting his stuff for the lady friends who aren't in the picture.
While taking the turkey pictures, I noticed this squirrel in the big pine tree nearby. Both were in the pasture in front of the house. When I uploaded the pictures, I noticed the squirrel had a white face. I've never seen anything like this, so I emailed a friend. He said it was an older fox squirrel..they turn gray as they age. Who knew! Not me!
Whoa! That's one big bird! I'd be afraid to get near him.
Great pics VE!
About your fox squirrel...some are gray to begin with! Some of the ones we have here are gray or black with the white noses and ears. Go down at least 4 lines in the pics and start looking from there....
"The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion
beautiful tom! And what an old grey fox squirrel! hey Vera....hummers are going crazy in Hernando! I've got 20 easy. Got four {quart" feeders out now and they are keeping me busy with refills! They say for every one you see you can multiply x 10....happy hummer time in North Ms/Tn!!!!!
"In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt"
Fluff, the wild turkeys are afraid of you and will run off..no need for you to be afraid.
Karen, Thank you for the link. I have never seen a squirrel marked up like those in the link or like some of you post here. That was a learning experience for me. Who knew? Not me!!
Ruby, quit being a piggy with all the hummers and send some this way. So far I have 3, a male and two females...they are zooming here and there to the beds and visiting the feedes often. I now have all of mine out for them. Just tickled to have my 3 and hoping for babies soon.
alright VE - how do you know the difference between male and female? You lookin' under their feathers???
What are they liking in your bed? (oops, that doesn't sound good.)
My personal experience with a wild tom turkey is that it will walk away from you, not toward you. We had one when we lived on the acreage and it went up around the church, which was next to a busy road. So to protect it, I went up there and herded it back down into our back fields. I just kept going around behind it and pushing it the way I wanted it to go. It never flew (although they can if they want) but just kept walking away from me. So it just took a little time to get him to what ia thought would be a safer place for him but it just required some walking and some patience. It was a cool experience for me!
Luv R Pups
~ It's our relationships, with God and with each other, that really count in life. ~
~~ Gardening, a healthy addiction! ~~
Luv - yes, they are afraid of you, will often fly away. I am surprised that you were able to walk him to where you wanted him go. Quite the experience for sure. We have a lot of turkeys here (the feathered and the other kind too
Nance, of course I looked under their feathers, how else would you know - LOL.
Actually these are ruby throats, easy to tell. The males have a distinguishing ruby red throat, the females do not. As for my beds (hehee), mostly they are visiting the oxalis and thrift. The honeysuckle is about to open so they'll have that to feed on too. It won't be long until other more hummer friendly stuff will be blooming. Their favorite is the salvia guarantica. Right now it's only about a foot high..but it grows quickly. I have it all over the yarden.
LOL!!!! nance!
VE, sent you an email from my yahoo account.
"The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion
Ooo that Tom is a handsome fellow. The ones that pass through here have red wattles instead of blue. They usually run off as soon as they see me. I have to hide to get photos.

New Economics Scholarships
The department has 12 new undergraduate scholarships to offer, and that is just the start! It is all part of our ambitious goal to provide more financial support for economics majors. In 2011 we had the inaugural meeting of the Department to Economics Advisory Council. The group quickly identified financial support for students as a priority. They set a goal of increasing the number of scholarships offered by the department from four to thirty five. Remarkably, just two years later we are more than half way to our goal. With twelve new scholarships, we can now provide some much needed support to sixteen different students each year.
How does a department fund a dozen new scholarships in two years? How does it reach its goal of 35? Our plan is simple.
- Start with a dedicated advisory council with the vision to articulate a goal and the ambition to achieve it.
- Have excellent students deserving of support. Fortunately, we have these in abundance. Take a moment to read below about our scholarship winners and I am sure you will agree.
- Set the scholarship drive in the context of bigger goals. Our scholarship goal is an important piece in an overall plan for moving the department forward. You may have heard (a lot!) about K-State 2025 at the university level. In short, K-State is on the move. Our department will use this momentum to help achieve its own 2025 goals. Watch our web page for news about our 'strategic intent' this fall.
- Have generous donors who believe in the cause. We all know that K-State pride runs deep. Our scholarship team has seen this time and again. A real delight of working on this scholarship drive has been finding out how deeply alumni and friends of the department believe in higher education. They want to keep college accessible as tuition costs rise, reward excellence, and attract students to the field of economics. They want to keep the K-State Department of Economics strong and see it improve.
So we are on our way, but with a big challenge still ahead. Would you like to help? You can contact me at email@example.com to learn more or contribute at the link on this page. I hope you will check back to this webpage in the future to see our progress. Below you can read about the scholarships awarded last year. Several others will make their debut at our spring banquet.

Camping pods
Dogs allowedSee all facilities…
Did you know, pop pickers, that Shakespeare's 'the Scottish play' (whisper: Macbeth) has Glamis Castle of the Angus Glens as its setting? Or that nearby Kirriemuir is where JM Barrie, of Peter Pan fame, was born? Bookworms won't be bard with the literary allusions around Drumshademuir Caravan Park, set between Kirriemuir and Glamis in the fertile Strathmore Valley and with heaps of history and hiking highlights to take in too. And a bit of rock: Kirriemuir was also the birthplace of AC/DC singer Bon Scott, and there's been a 'Bon Fest' in the town to commemorate him since 2006…
But back to the park... Under new ownership from 2012, Drumshademuir is open all year round and has touring pitches with electric hook-up, with some tent pitches also available for family camping. If you're bringing the kids, they might not be all that interested in the history and culture of this part of Angus, but they'll enjoy swinging about the outside play area on site or taking the dog for a wander along the woodland walk.
Pitches at Drumshademuir are all close to the spick and span facilities: there are free hot showers, washing up areas, disabled loos and showers and a coin-operated laundry. For hearty fare, independently-run The Park Tavern is just at the entrance to the park and dishes up good-sized bar lunches and evening meals as well as takeaways; there are also several other eatery and bar options within a couple of miles off site.

At first I got the idea that you were selling something.
My bad.
I love to read interesting post that has knowledge to impart regarding business and economic status.
Knowing the current situation of the stock market is crucial especially if you have stocks invested in it. It is better to be up to dated to the situations so that you could know the actions to be taken if some changes in the stock market occur as to secure your stocks to lose. Today, the stock market is unstable so we need to be vigilant to the current market conditions.

My, what long skinny fingers you have!
Somehow that doesn't seem like it should be possible.
When doctors examine patients, especially those whom we don't know well, it can be very helpful to read the "roadmap" of scars on the chest and abdomen. A lot of patients amazingly forget to mention that they may have had an organ removed, even when asked explicity.
Begin dream sequence:
Future Dr. Smak: OK, Mrs. Jones, please try to relax your legs while I do your pap smear. Oh, what's this scar?
Mrs. Jones: The one on the right side was my transvaginal cholecystectomy, the left side was my splenectomy, and the big one in the middle my transvaginal hysterectomy.

Disturbing. Will they soon come up with a transvaginal tonsillectomy? What about combining a colonoscopy and dentistry?
Or you could do an EGD and fix the hemorrhoids while you are at it.
Yikes. I don't like to think on that too long.

Rob: I agree this is disturbing. I think this whole think started with some idiot trying to think out of the box or out of the EGD scope rather.
Dr. Smak: I liked your line about 'road map of scars.' It's so important for a radiologist doing an abdominal ultrasound scan. I don't have to spend 10 minutes searching for a removed gall bladder that the patient forgot to mention.

Yet another case of doing something because you *can*, not because it's a good idea.
I'm personally waiting for the transrectal bilateral cingulotomy.

The Japanese have published a series of transaxillary thyroidectomies.

This morning I had a beer for breakfast. That's right, a crisp Belgian wheat went straight into my hot cereal. Typically my experimentation with porridge cooking liquids involves swapping one type of milk for another. But Green Kitchen Stories' recipe for Rye, Rhubarb & Beer Porridge inspired a booze-driven approach (homage to the Danish øllebrød, a humble breakfast made of bread scraps and beer). In my version, nutty kamut flakes get deliciously inebriated with Blue Moon, lemon zest complements the beer's citrusy flavor, and honey balances it all with a touch of sweetness. Top with vanilla yogurt, fresh blueberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup, and you'll almost forget you spiked your breakfast.
[Serves 4]
2 cups rolled kamut flakes
3 cups water
1 1/2 cup Belgian wheat beer, or water
Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 Tbsp)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp honey
Blueberries, for serving
Vanilla yogurt, for serving
Maple syrup, for drizzling
Combine kamut, water, beer, lemon zest and vanilla in a medium pot and bring slowly to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kamut is tender and swollen. (Most of the liquid should be absorbed). Stir in 2 Tbsp honey and remove from heat. To serve, top with blueberries, vanilla yogurt, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
