Lines for Switch Rods
Whether you're using them with one hand or two, spey casting or overhead casting, Switch Rods have become an important tool for people who trout and steelhead fish.
Great Lakes fly anglers love the light weight and shorter length. Pacific Northwest anglers like the ability to fish in tight places with two hands. With a crisp action and modest power the ECHO SR rods maintain a load during a Spey cast better than other rods that have an extra fast action. In models ranging from 10'6" to 10'10" they are a perfect two hand length but are not beyond chucking with one hand when needed. The family of SR rods will make you smile just putting them together.
Features -
Four piece travel design
Alignment dots for quick assembly
Compact upper handle design with composite upper end
#4 and #5 have shorter, more condensed upper and lower handle
Black anodized aluminum reel seat
Hard chrome single foot guides

Yesterday a retired teacher told me how he loved teaching history – especially lessons on the civil war and Gettysburg Battles. Now that he's retired, Jake shared he enjoyed reenacting history scenes in popular historic parks – where people enjoy revisiting the triumphs of war.
My immediate thought was, "Why have we taught war, but omitted the wonders of robust peace plans?"

Twenty-five years ago, the Ridley Scott film Blade Runner became an instant science fiction classic. Set in a sodden, squalid Los Angeles of 2019, the neo-noir masterpiece influenced a generation of filmmakers and video-game designers. Long before I teamed up with Jamie Hyneman to form the MythBusters, I was a special-effects modelmaker, and Scott's cyberpunk gem almost instantly became the most important film in the canon of movies I love.
I'm still such a big Blade Runner fan that I watch it at least once every 18 months. I also own pretty convincing replicas of the "blade runner blaster" wielded by Harrison Ford's world-weary former cop Rick Deckard. The source material was a Steyr Mannlicher .222 target rifle magazine cover, with a Bulldog .44 carriage underneath. I can't get enough of this prop. Now, I want a working one.
In Blade Runner's dystopian near future, replicants, or genetically engineered humanoids, do the hard work on off-world colonies. After a bloody mutiny, the androids are forbidden from coming to Earth — on pain of death. So when six rogue replicants return home, they must be "retired" — hunted down and killed — and Ford's Deckard, once a top replicant hunter, or "blade runner," is pulled out of his own retirement to do the job.
I worked on Star Wars Episodes I and II, on the Matrix films, on AI and Terminator 3; yet 25 years later there are ways in which Blade Runner surpasses anything that's been done since. Watching the theatrical release DVD at home with PM reminded me of Scott's genius for creating stunning effects with simple technology.
Virtual World
Watch this opening pan across the Los Angeles skyline — there's nearly nothing else like it. This is something I think Ridley Scott does better than almost any other director. Whether he's shooting a fantastical movie like Alien (1979), or a realistic one like Black Hawk Down (2001), you always know where you are in the movie's physical space. Blade Runner is unmatched by any other sci-fi film in terms of feeling like you're in an environment you understand. This isn't the kind of sci-fi where everyone wears silver suits. It's lived-in science fiction — a world.
Model Mastery
You have to remember, Blade Runner was made years before digital effects became common. Today, CGI [computer-generated imagery] is becoming a mature art form, but even now there are times you just can't beat doing some effects like these "in camera." Most of these cityscapes are a combination of models and traditional matte paintings. For the aerial shots they used a set about 12 ft. wide, and those towers you see belching fire are about 12 in. high. They're made of etched brass and model parts and use thousands of tiny, grain-of-wheat light bulbs like you'd find in a dollhouse. They filmed some of the fireballs in the parking lot behind the studio, and for others they used stock footage from the 1970 Antonioni film, Zabriskie Point.
Motion Control
I love the scenes where you're moving through the city and see video billboards the size of buildings. (Today we have billboards like that in Times Square — so, the movie wasn't far off!) The normal way to create these effects would be to build a miniature, shoot it and then composite in the billboards and other elements in postproduction.
But they did all of these effects in camera, which even back then was a much more complex way to execute them. The key to this is a motion-control camera — a smart robot, basically — that moves through the city on the same track, over and over again. It's accurate to within a couple thousandths of an inch. They did separate passes, rewinding the film each time and then re-exposing it to add each new element. So they did one pass for the lights on a building, another for the video projection, then a pass for the rain lighting and so on — as many as 16 passes in some cases. And all that layering is what makes you feel you're in a totally complete world, yet one that's completely alien.
Timeless Design
Scott hired an incredible art department, including Syd Mead, who started out designing cars for Ford. Some scenes have almost a 1930s look to them, while others are totally futuristic. But all the technology they designed — like flying cop cars they call "spinners" — meshes perfectly with your idea of this world. It's one of the reasons this movie has stayed at the top of my list. It just doesn't date.

Knowing about CSS Image Replacement and Dynamic Text Replacement, as well as how to implement them, is undeniably valuable. As with most of SEO, having a developer's skill set (or at least a knowledge of your options), will enable you with a can-do world view. In this case, when a client tells you that they're committed to a web unsafe font for their headers, and that they therefore can't use the appropriate keyword rich header tags, you'll answer "yes you can".
But there is a very common problem with over-zealous implementation of such SEO tactics without full consideration of their impact. Even SEOs who I have high regard for are victims of this vice. Have a look:

Has the following occured to everyone:
- Somewhere I guess in the late 80s or early 90s, the American family decided that having 2 incomes is more important than raising children effectively
- With former housewives working instead of raising children, TV, the PC, and Xbox became the new parental units
- When housewives entered the workforce, the number of people seeking employment quickly doubled
So just this little innocent "progressive" maneuver has been in my opinion the greatest contributor to unemployment as well as the greatest contributor to a cultural epidemic. I'm talking about the disaster we face regarding children who have zero respect, aspire to be street thugs, and sit at home becoming obese, insulting everyone via console gaming, text and internet chat rather than going outside to play.
Stretch this out over a few more decades and God knows where we are going to be. These kids raised by computers and TV--the ones that did at least make it through school somehow--are now entering the world of politics.
It's just going to get exponentially worse as the elusive dollar becomes more and more important and marijuana is legalized.
Happy New Year, America.

I like maximum compile-time verification, code contracts, quick and "noisy" failures, and strictness in accepted inputs.
"Be lenient in what you accept and discard faulty inputs silently" is the opposite of my programming ideology.
"Trust your colleague to not violate your contracts" is also not about me; in fact I don't even trust myself with "violatable" contracts. Hence I like bullet-proof code whenever at all possible, even if modern languages are a bit lacking in making this possible.

Yes, I recommend this product.
"The New Balance 812 double extra wide is perfect for my 23 year old daughter with developmental disabilities. She can work the velcro and put on the shoes all by herself. They are very comfortable, accommodate orthodic inserts, and she gets good wear out of them. From what I've seen, they're the only velcro tennis shoes on the market that fit her wide feet. They're terrific!"

"I bought these shoes for my clinical program thinking they would be more stylish than most nursing shoes. The details said ft walking or for standing on you feet at work....perfect I thought. I was wrong. These does hurt so bad my feet throb at the end of the day. My whole foot...not just one part. My back and my knees are not starting to hurt. They also gave me corns on my foot from the pressure points. I am on my feet all day at my other job and my feet don't hurt near as much and I wear flip flops. I know you need to give them time to break in but it's been 4 months and no change. I sure hope New Balance fixes this issue cause I loved new balance before. Now I'm afraid to try another NB show for anything. These are the first pair of shoes that I have ever had issues with."

"THe 812 is completely different in fit and size compaired to the 811. Due to the thicker lining and last the same size you used to wear is different. Feels like your walking in your bunny slippers in the 812's. I have been wearing the 811's for over 8 to 10 years and the only complaint I have had all these years are the shoe laces,always about 10 inches to long,almost able to tight them around your ankle. Always had to changed to 38 inches . I guess I now shange ot adifferent brand and shoe !"

Connecting a Cable Modem With an Ethernet Connection
Last Updated: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 > Related Articles
Learn how to install a cable modem with an Ethernet connection.
There are two ways to connect a computer to a cable modem for Cox High Speed Internet service: an Ethernet cable modem to an Ethernet port in a computer or a USB cable modem to a USB port in a computer.
Items Needed for an Ethernet Installation
- Operating System CD
- Cable Modem
- Ethernet Cable
- Coaxial Cable
Installation Steps
- Verify that the cable modem and computer are disconnected from the power source.
- Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable wall outlet.
- Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the cable modem.
Plug the cable modem power adapter into a wall outlet.
Most cable modems are "on" all the time and do not have a switch. If the modem has a power switch, turn on the modem and wait for the modem to synch with the cable network. This may take up to five minutes.
- Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the back of the modem.
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the back of the computer.
- Connect the power to the computer and turn on the computer.
- Check the modem lights for proper status. Most modem lights operate similarly. Some blink at start-up, then become steady, except for the "activity" light, which may blink continuously.
Note: If the modem lights do not come on, turn off the computer, unplug the modem, wait 30 seconds, plug the modem back in, then restart the computer.
Result: The modem is now connected and ready for Cox High Speed Internet software installation.

We like everything about Brittany Harper. Her long legs. Her natural boobs. Her tight little ass. And of course...her mouth. Brittany is the kind of girl who does everything right -- starting with this blowjob and ending with the sloppy facial she got. She doesn't talk a lot, but that's only because she spends most of this video with her mouth full of cock. As soon as she gets on her knees and assumes the position for this POV blowjob, Brittany goes to work licking and sucking to get the biggest cum load she's ever had.

航空機写真 ✈ Gulfstream V (06-0500)の写真
Gulfstream Aerospace Gulfstream V (06-0500)Commentswouldn't it be classified as a C-37A instead of a Gulfstream V since it is military (they are the exact same plane, just the ones the military operates are called C-37As) Love the picture though, excellent shot It is but if C37A is not inputted when uploading photo, it says invalid aircraft type. Thanks for the compliment. Ah, ok. I kind of expect that because very few were actually labeled C-37A. sorry about that, when it comes to planes I am kind of technical (I am one of those guys who gets mad at my friends when they call the UH-1 Iroquois the Huey). But still a great pic.

An illusion. One of which we can submit to, as most do, or transcend.

To recognize that nothing is true and everything is permitted. That laws arise not from divinity but reason. I understand now that our creed does not command us to be free; it commands us to be wise.

It- 15 PRICE 10 CENTS League History, Role on Campus Clarified by Lee Specially Contributed by � Jeanne Marie Lee, '45 The Bryn Mawr League as we know it today "provides for the social services and religious ac- tivities on campus." One of the oldest organizations from the point of view of its function, it has gone through various stages of develop- ment, each of which is important in understanding the purposes of the League. In 1895 the Bryn Mawr under- graduates formed an organization called the "Christian Union", the organization which sponsored the religious activities. Then eight years iater, another group which was ^ot in agreement with the principles of the "Christian Union" organized the "League for the Ser- vice of Christ". It seemed pointless, however, to have two rival organi- zations on campus and so in 1910 these two groups merged to form the "Christian Association". The "Christian Association" was still interested in furthering re- ligious activities but it also in- creased the scope of its philanthro- pic services both on campus as well as off. Then in 1928 there was another upheaval, the "Christian Association" was cast aside as be- ing dated and the "Bryn Mawr League" took its place, carrying on the same work but backed by a different spirit. The League Board is\ composed of a President, a Secretary, rep- resentatives from the Freshman and Sophomore classes, the Non- Continued on Page 4 Stevenson Views i Red Cross Work Red Cross Girls Called Essential to Morale Of Soldiers Goodhart, March 14: Launching a campaign for campus-wide Red Cross contributions, Mrs. Eleanor Stevenson addressed an Alliance Assembly on the importance of Red Cross Girls. Mrs. Stevenson has written about her numerous experiences for the Saturday Ev- ening Post under the title, "I Knew Your Soldier", and was in- troduced by Mary Kay Snyder, Chairman of the Campus Red Gross unit. The clubmobile to which Mrs. Stevenson was attached went- to Italy with the Fifth Army and upon arrival they were immediate- ly asked to assist. The girls with the clubmobiles not only distribut- ed material comforts such as toothbrushes, soap and shaving cream, but they also provided com- panionship for the soldiers. � Mrs. Stevenson stressed the im- portance of writing to soldiers of the things which interest them, to help maintain their ties with their homes. She pointed out that wo- men are absolutely necessary from the morale standpoint as well as the medical, helping the soldiers to write letters, sing, play musical instruments, and to re- lieve the strain of combat and homesickness. The Red Cross Girls, said Mrs. Stevenson, must learn to adjust themselves to the varying demands which wilrV^be made on them, particularly olH their emotions. They are partic- ularly important in maintaining the soldier's trust in his friends. Thit is a reproduction of the "share" which will be issued in receipt for your Red Cross donation. 10 Hour Nurses9 Aides Discover Hospital Work Demands Stamina by Rosina Bateson '47 The name of Florence Nightin- gale summons up a vision of an- gelic aid in time of stress, gliding through an antiseptic hospital, soothing the fevered brows of handsome lads. The sixty-four dol- lar question of Bryn Mawr's soon- to-be-capped Aides is how she did it. It would seem easy, when stand- ing in front of a friendly college audience in a starched blue pina- fore, clean white shoes, and hair net clinging rather becomingly. Everything is against this band- box impression. The third bed- bath finishes the once spotless uni- form, a patient with an eye for detail discovers that the Red Cross emblem has been sewed on upside down, and twenty minutes over the sterilizer causes the hair to look like a tossed salad. One ray of hope, remains: the Aide whom a patient addresses as "nurse", tell- ing her that his bed has never felt so comfortable or his teeth so clean, will immediately feel like the angel of tbe lamp personified. Work in a hospital is not an easy job, according to most Nurses' Aides. It takes elbow-grease and a so-called" bedside manner to ac- complish what has to be done. Tact is essential; a sense of humor helps. The first time an Aide is confronted by a very toothy pair of uppers and lowers to brush in the utility room is an indescribable experience. Losing a draw-sheet in the^process of making an occu- pied bed, and having to scramble frantically for it is shattering to the confidence, especially when the patient drawls laconically, "This is your first day here, isn't it?" A brisk and authoritative stroll down the corridor with a tray of thermometers is soul-satisfying. That is, until the lady in the last bed is discovered to have chronic hiccoughs, so that taking her res- piration is well-nigh impossible. Or until the head nurse asks calm- ly why Mr. X's temfifcrature has risen from normal to'lro in four hours. The discovery that he had consumed a cup or boiling tea just before, the thermometer was put well under his tongue relieves the temporary frenzy. The morning speeds by. Savory whiffs escape from the kitchen, and the patients begin to wiggle hun- grily. As a good five hours have elapsed since breakfast, the Aide3 .are in the same state. The one ob- jection voiced from the ranks of the Bryn Mawr contingent was overheard in the linen closet, a plaintive wail to the effect that feeding a patient lamb-chops and broccoli was not nearly as much fun as feeding herself the same, and great self-control had to be exercised in preventing the fork from heading in the wrong direc- tion. "But I managed!" she con- cluded triumphantly. Somehow, after one day in a hospital, an Aide feels that come what may, this statement still will hold true. B.M. Opens Drive for Red Cross Campus-wide Contribution Asked Single Donation To Be Made by Combining Contributions Ezban Discusses Egyptian History Common Room, March 13. When Europe was going through its medieval period, Egypt was in its Renaissance, .declared Mr. Selim Ezban in his lecture on Modern Egypt. The country then fell to the Turkish Empire and became a mere province of the Ottoman Em- pire. After the failure of a Napoleon- ic expedition, Mohammed Ali, tak- ing advantage of the chaos, be- came head of the Egyptian gov- ernment, advocating autonomy, Mr. Ezban said. Fearing the pre- datory tendencies of England and France, the leader opposed the proposed Suez Canal. When his son Ismail, came to power, he finally acceded to the construction, and here, Mr. Ezban declared, began the history of Modern Egypt. "The canal be- came one of the nerve centers of British and French policy of im- perialism." England originally had no share in the de Lesseps canal, and only gained a foothold in the region when the British Lord Cromer was sent to Egypt to settle the financial difficulties of Ismail. In spite of the low rate of lit- eracy in Egypt (actually less than 10%) British .occupation did little to better the situation. The French missionary schools were the main educational organs. Education has become a mixture of Western progressivisfn and Orthodox Kor- an teaching, Mr. Ezban noted. The reconciliation of the two cul- tures seems impossible, he added, since the Islam religion is also a social system, permeating the whole structure of life. That great progress ribs been made is illus- trated by thft^iew status of women in many fields resulting from the Feminist movement, which was begun in 1904 by Casin. The campus drive for contribu- tions to the National Red Cross, officially opened today by the Red Cross Assembly, will continue until Sunday, March 18, in an attempt to get a larger contribution than ever before from all members of the college community. $200,000,000 is the goal set by the Red Cross for its nation-wide drive. This sum, named as neces- sary to cover its needs for the com- ing year, will finance such activi- ties as the training of Nurses' Aides; the giving of information and financial assistance to service men and their families; the pro- vision of social service, recreation, and entertainment for the sick and wounded; and the work of collect- ing blood plasma and preparing surgical dressings. Since the money given by the undergraduate body will be com- bined with the faculty and Fresh- man Show donations, as a single contribution in,the name of Bryn Mawr College, an integrated col- lecting system has been set up. Continued on Page 4 130 Undergrads Plan toVacation On B.M. Campus A minimum of 130 students will spend the spring vacation on cam- pus, according to figures drawn from the registration made with the college. The maximum number of students, which includes those spending only a part kf the vaca- tion on campjiir-w-rSO, in contrast .to ifopj4KfMi 80 students who did not leave during the same period last year.

the movies- should they be animated?
since none of us can decide on who should play who i thought well maybe it could be an animated movie perhaps in anime stylee so to see what you all thought about it i made a poll
June 12th, 2005, 10:32 AM #2
Non-animated, 'Why?' you ask *ahem* Have any of you ever heard of the animated version of LotR.....
I thought so
June 12th, 2005, 10:39 AM #3
I don't think The books of Pellionor should be made into a movie or a cartoon AT ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!
No offence or anything , birdie, but I think if you make it into a cartoon, it would take away the whole mystery of the book, and ruin it. I mean, has any of you seen Pokemon etc.? Even if they are adventure and fantasy cartoon, they don't look very emotional or mysterious, do they?
As I've said in many conversations, it's not such a good idea to make it into a REAL movie either, because The Gift and Riddle is a book full of complex relationships and feelings that is near impossible to express on the screen. It stays best as a book. And that's that. Pellinor books should not be made into movies. Full stop.
June 12th, 2005, 10:57 AM #4
acctually gemini there is a animated version of lotr! i happen to own a copy of it so put that in you pipe and smoke it lol. bai does have a good point tho maybe the books should be left as books but its up to alison really. and the animated thing was a suggestion i doubt i would acctually happen
June 12th, 2005, 11:06 AM #5Originally Posted by bridie
And i am coming around to the view that they shouldn't be made into films, i'd come away dissapointed i suspect .
June 12th, 2005, 11:11 AM #6
oh dear i misread what you put! your right animated lotr is crap but that was made a long time ago. but anyway ive decided that bai is right we would probably be let down by a film version. this thread is kinda pointless now isnt it....
June 12th, 2005, 11:27 AM #7
Tho, we could still turn it into a thread arguing why the books should not be made into films...
-We would hate half of the cast
-We would constantly moan about inconsequential things
-Any wannbe actresss who read the book would spend the whole time staring daggers at whoever they got to play Maerad and mutter "stupid b*tch that was my part, *scoff* i could so do a better job than this git!"
-IF any of us got our way in the Cadvan debate (heh) we'd spend the whole time drooling over Hugh/ Richard/ Hans/ Goran/ Sean...
-Most of us are LotR fans, we should have learned out lesson by now
-We'd argue over the stupid technical details eg "HA! we don't learn that Cadvan is obsessed with mushrooms until AFTER the scrying!"
-We'd hate half of the locations they shot at "*pfft* WHAT! There aren't meant to mountains in THAT scene!"
-Most of us are Harry Potter fans, why haven't we learned our lesson yet????
-We'd cry when we realise that half the characters are no where near what they were in the books (Faramir ala Pete Jackson anyone??)
-We'd cry when we realise that the plot progression bears only a passing resemblance to the books
-Some of us are Earthsea fans, WHEN WILL WE GET THE POINT??!!!
-Some of us would complain of the over abundance of crying (heh)
-Others would say that everyone was too wooden
sooooo, in conclusion, it just wouldn't work...
June 12th, 2005, 11:41 AM #8
lol i agree with all of those points especially the second one...
June 12th, 2005, 12:34 PM #9
Well I for think the books should be made into films because they would be great, if:
1. The casting is great. [talented actors/actresses].
2. The director is talented, doesn't need to be well known.
3. They use Lucus Arts -ILM [Industrial Light and magic] for the visual effects because they ROCK!
and also if the films are a success then they will also advertise the books on a huge scale.

i think that the book could be a film b/cits just another way of tellin the story and since barly any1 now a days reads books more ppl wood go see a film and more ppl wood experianc the story and the hole pont of this post is 2 say that i love the book and if most ppl like films then i want them to no the story and like it coz alison deserves it for havin such a great book
ive don it again ive confused myself
June 13th, 2005, 02:45 PM #11
i think that most books shouldnt be made into a film or anything else for that matter its too good as a book and the film wouldnt be able to live up to it!
June 13th, 2005, 03:06 PM #12
No way would I want the books to be made into a movie. Okay, just to express myself clearly, here is ONE of the MANY examples that is written in the book, that is impossible to act on the screen, even if we had the mosted talented actors and actresses and directors on the set, yodee.
Spoiler:In the Riddle, on page410,
the last paragraph, Maerad has just been hurt by the Winterking, on the insides, and it says:
The Winterking stepped down from the dais and walked towards her, and then bent down and took her chin in her hand.
This bit will be quite easy to act out, but what about the next bit???
His hand was cold as ice, and its strength inexorable, but his touch was gentle. Maerad looked up into his eyes and instantly forgot everything in a rush of desire. She blinked with humiliation, seeing a flash of triumph in Arkan's eyes, and tried to hide her face.
I'm sorry, but how on erath will you be able to act that out on the screen????
June 13th, 2005, 03:14 PM #13
June 13th, 2005, 03:26 PM #14What I was trying to say there, is that all the action bits in the book will be easy to act out, but what about the emotions and loves in the book? The relationships, the subtle movements that make the characters come alive, so it makes the books worthwhile??? Without them, what is left?
You do realise that we are only attached to the characters because we have seen inside their mind, seen how they have developed from one person into the next, e.g. Maerad from a slave with little hope in her heart to a woman with love that spills generously, and that is what most of the other fantasy books failed to achieve. Without this, the movies of Pellinor will seem empty and meaningless, just another adventure where the good defeat the evil.
Don't you think?
June 13th, 2005, 03:38 PM #15yep, thats why i think it shouldnt be made into a movie it would be too hard and not enogh emotion in it. it couldnt get the bits were cadvan sort of quietly loves mearad but doesnt show it

Name: Zasalim
Gender: Male
Race: High Elf
Class: Arcane Force Warrior (Mage)
Age: 55
Affiliation: Quel'Elhen (Primary), Grey Wardens (Ally), Dalish (Hostile/Enemy), Circle of Magi/Templars (Mutual Enemy), Others (Neutral/Hostile)
Skills/magic/abilities: Zasalim has been developing his body as well as his magical prowess from the time of his youth. He mostly utilizes the raw power of nature and taps into the essence of the fade to fight, but when all else fails having some skills in CQC never hurts. He has knowledge of the four widely recognized schools of magic and has amassed a variety of different spells. While he maintains a strong affinity to Primal and Spirit magic he has dabbled in the Creation school and most recently Blood magic. He specializes in the lost arts of the Arcane Warrior and that of the Forcemage.
Arcane – Arcane Bolt, Arcane Shield: The most basic of spells he can fire a bolt of pure arcane energy and form a protective bubble to absorb or deflect damage
Primal – Flame Blast, Flame Weapons, Fireball, Inferno, Stone Fist, Earthquake, Rock Armor
Under the primal arts Zasalim has an affinity for fire and earth spells. He can shoot a stream of fire from his hands, launch devastatingly explosive fireballs, engulf his weapons and others' in roaring flames and even summon a pillar of cleansing flame from the heavens. He can also imbue his skin with the properties of stone, launch boulders, and cause severe tremors.
Spirit – Mind Blast, Telekinetic Weapons, Force-field, Crushing Prison
Using the power of mental will he can generate a blast of telekinetic energy stunning nearby victims, Envelop his weapon and others' in a torrent of telekinetic energy, wrap friend or foe in a protective field of energy and encompass victims in a collapsing sphere of telekinetic energy essentially crushing them
Force mage –Telekinetic Burst, Hammer of the Creator, Unshakable, Edge of the Abyss.
While furthering the development of his telekinetic magic, Zasalim tapped into the powers known formally as that of the force mages. He can push and pull or otherwise manipulate things using the force of will. He can launch waves of violent telekinetic energy, lift and subsequently slam things into the ground, make himself unmovable by diminishing the force behind incoming attacks, and even develop small singularities to draw in victims
Arcane Warrior - Combat Magic, Aura of Might, Shimmering Shield, Fade Shroud
Taught to him by the spirit of a great ancestor he can channel his vast magical power inward greatly augmenting his natural physical abilities and combat prowess in exchange for heavy fatigue when spellcasting. In efforts to bolster the power of his defenses ( armor, physical, mental, and elemental resistance ) he can emanated the energy surging through him as sparks drifting away from him as though stars drifting through space and illuminating the warriors immediate area while in effect. It is quite draining to maintain. Additionally his strong connection to the fade allows him step behind the veil and don a shroud of the fade granting the ability to phase out of the physical plane for brief moments and bolsters his access to mana but makes him more susceptible to possession by demons as they can find him more easily. Ex: (in combat)
Creation – Heal, Grease: He's able to heal minor wounds and ease the pain of more severe injuries. Useful in the midst of combat. He can now summon a large quantity of grease to impede ground enemy movement or the grease can be lit ablaze dealing damage to all caught in the flames. He can also manipulate this grease however he desires with his telekinetic prowess.
Blood Magic – Hand of Ifrit: A spell he has developed on his own and has only been able to produce using Blood Magic. He is able to propel flames in a full circle around his immediate area. The flames can reach in excess of 1000 C and the blast force is great enough to form a crater and reduce a sylvan to splinters if enough power is channeled into the spell.
So far he has only learned to use his own blood as a catalyst for spells when his mana pool has run dry. He's only used it in time of extreme duress and never allows witnesses to survive as being labeled a blood mage tends to be very problematic.
Spell Combos:
Shock Wave (Force Field + Crushing Prison)
Hell's Grasp (Inferno + Edge of the Abyss)
Blast Chamber (Grease + Crushing Prison + Fireball)
Staff Wielding - He is an artist with the staff and well versed in close combat using it. He has developed his own style of using it, able to subdue opponents by channeling magic through the staff, using the blunt end, or cutting them down with the deadly blade.
In addition to his vast spell knowledge he is quite the survivalist and can cook fairly well. Born with acute hearing, impeccable eyesight, and uncanny agility he is fit to survive the harsh wilderness and the battlefield. He can be quite intimidating and can coerce others to do his will through fear or respect.
Appearance: He stands at 5'9" and weights roughly 135 lbs. He has an athletic build and very little body fat. He appears to be in his early 20's despite his actual age evident of his Quel'Elhen heritage. His ears are roughly 4.5 inches long and he has emerald eyes. His hair is raven black and is 2 feet in length. He most commonly has it in a pony tail, but enjoys letting it flow free in times of tranquility. He maintains a soul patch under his bottom lip and a closely trimmed chin strap style beard. He has a series of tribal tattoos in black ink laced with lyrium dust that form a sleeve on each of his arms and one on the right side of his face. He wears an Ancient armor with matching boots and an off white cloak. Nothing on his arms and no helmet.
Starting equipment:
Stone Cleaver - a glaive style polearm that doubles as a staff. Enchanted with runes that fortify the blade making it very durable and capable of cutting clean through stone. The silverite blade is 14" long, 3" across, and 1/2" thick. The iron wood staff is 48" tall and 1" in diameter. The pommel is a smooth spherical rune stone. The staff is attuned to the Earth element launching bursting rocks from afar and jutting earthen spires to confine, maim, and impale
Life Spring Amulet - an amulet made from crystallized water from the life spring to ward off demons
Ring of the Arcane Warrior - a lyrium laced ring that allows him to maintain certain aspects of combat magic without casting the spell. It allows him to keep his equipment
Ring of the Ancients - a lyrium ring that helps him enter the fade, and shroud him from detection when there.
Great Oak Cloak- a hallah leather cloak tanned with the heart wood of an enchanted oak tree. Wards against aggressive magic
Ancient Elven Armor
Ancient Elven Boots - armor that allows full range of motion while protecting vital organs. It also offers spirit resistance
Leather satchel:
Hunting knife - a wood handle knife with a 5 inch blade
Deer skin cantine - a pouch for water made from tanned deer hide.
Leather bound tome - Ancient text of spells and magical research

Personality: Zasalim is an artist and a visionary. His introvert nature drives him to explore his thoughts and perfect his craft in solitude. He is open minded and a quick thinker when under pressure. He is generally quiet and kept to himself, but he does have friends and likes to engage them in thought provoking discussion when he's not training, planning, meditating, or otherwise. He is creative and aggressive in combat preferring to try and overwhelm opposing forces initially. He is confident in his abilities and has a strong will. He is vocal when need be, and while he respects his origins he believes the future should be forged anew. He doesn't agree with the fighting of their kin, but he refuses to be "purged" and remains a trustworthy warrior in battle none the less. He is somewhat tolerant of most races but hostile if met with hostility. He wishes the elven race rise to glory surpassing the days of old. He understands rules but is willing to bend or break them to further his goals.
History: Born deep within the Brecilian forest he has always had a strong connection with the Fade. Identified as a prodigy even among the magically charged members of his race the young elf was taken under the tutalige of the Queen's High Mages in the royal court. Zasalim blossomed under the High Mages watch building him a strong foundation in the fundamentals of magic, spellcasting, and resisting demonic possession. At his coming of age ceremony he was given the amulet. Soon there after he began to explore the Revas'Thala as a fully fledged mage. His mother was a herbalist and he aided her in finding various herbs and flora on his outings.
One day he was out meditating when he heard a voice speaking to him in an ancient elven dialect. He was wary of the voice at first but heeding its instructions he found the entrance to an ancient ruin. The ruin was heavily overgrown with thick under brush and tangled vines which he made quick work of. The inhabitants of the ruin weren't so quick to exterminate, but he pressed his way past giant spiders, and drakes in his search of the ruins. He eventually found a statue in a room full of ancient artifacts. The voice identified itself as a mage petrified in stone and even thanked the generation that healed the cursed woods. He expressed his only wish, to be freed of his stone prison and finally be able to rest. In exchange for this he offered to share his knowledge with the young mage.
Zasalim learned the ways of the Arcane Warrior from this ancient soul and as agreed, he performed a ritual to free the spirit from its petrified body. Following its final instruction he found an armuar the spirit told him of. Inside he found pieces of ancient elven armor, a powerful bladed staff, a tome of spell knowledge, and a pair of rings that once belonged to the ancient mage. Due to the old age of the structure and the fierce battles therein the ruins then started to collapse. Zasalim narrowly escaped the ruins before they claimed his life. Due to his discovery of the armor and staff he was allotted the role of being their care taker. He kept the other artifacts as his own. Unable to read the ancient tongue in which the tome was written, Zasalim spent a lot of his time in the old ruins already discovered in Revas'Thala. In time he began to decipher the text and with it his spell knowledge grew. In addition to gaining some powerful spells he learned more efficient methods of casting and ways to combine spells for various effects. After a while darkspawn began trying to press into the forest and Zasalim had his first encounter with the darkspawn and the Grey Wardens. He fought side by side with the wardens on numerous occasions to stem the tide of the tainted creatures.
Afterward there where talks of him joining the Rangers or the Wardens after the lead warden expessed interest in him. Though he never joined the order he took the opportunity to travel beyond the forest and learn from them. He trained with warriors, rouges, and mages alike. It was with them that he first witnessed the forbidden school of blood magic. As he read further into his ancient tome he came upon a section dealing with blood magic, its dangers, benefits, and how to perform it. It wasn't long after that he accompanied the Wardens to Orzammar and the Deep Roads. Here he got his staff reforged by dwarven hands and enchanted with runes before embarking on the campaign with the Wardens. While in the deeps their party was encompassed by a swarm of darkspawn backed by a pack of three ogres. They stood their ground initially, but there where just too many of them. Exhausted and desperate he used his blood and that of the recently slain to push them back. He passed out to find himself recovering back in Orzammar. As it was told to him, the Legion of the Dead found them, even saw the spectacle of earth and fire that he conjured as they closed in on the fighting. They cleaned up the remaining hoard and brought back the survivors. Most of the party perished, but he and a handful of wardens survived the ordeal.

Abec 5 Bearings
Bearings have a couple of measurements that you should be aware of. 8mm, shown with these bearings, tells you the diameter of the inner hole. This diameter matches the diameter of the axle used on the trucks. 8mm axles are by far the most common.
The next number is shown as an abec rating. This number classifies the precision of a bearing when manufactured. Abec1 is considered the lowest rating, and abec9 as the highest. An abec9 bearing will be ground or polished to a higher tolerance and in turn may be faster and last longer. A very precise bearing will have reduced friction, friction causes heat, and heat ultimately will cause bearings to fail.
We always recommend that you clean and lube bearings regularly. A well maintained Abec5 bearing will outlast an Abec7 bearing that is not maintained.

Makes no sense at all. To be honest, over the last few years, I have cheered for the Yankees in that rivalry. Yankees fans are assholes, but at least you know what you're going to get.
The Red Sox are so different than the team that won in 2004. They won their titles largely based on chemistry. Now they're trying to out-Yankee the Yankees and it's not working.
If La Russa leaves, which I doubt, the Cardinals should look long and hard at Francona since there's no way Maddon is leaving TB now.
It may be different for you guys in the STL market because you get al of the local coverage. Watching MLB Network, ESPN, etc., the only thing they talked about was the Boston collapse. They barely even mentioned the Atlanta collapse, which was just as bad. I was happy yesterday on PTI when Mike Wilbon made a point to say that ESPN only cares about BOS/NYY, and took it upon himself to actually mention the fact that there are teams outside the northeast.

Japan a true world champion
By Jim Gates
I enjoyed watching the World Baseball Classic and was not particularly surprised to see Japan playing for the championship once again. Baseball in Japan has a long history, and there is as much baseball folklore and tradition on this island nation as exists in any
country. The national high school tournament is conducted with the same fervor as Americans attach to the NCAA basketball tournament, and the Japanese major leagues have some of the most vocal fans on the planet.
An American expatriate educator named Horace Wilson is credited with introducing the Japanese to baseball in the early 1870s, and we have tried to reflect this nation's long history in our collection. As I go through the files in our archive, I often come across artifacts that relate to the relationship between Japan, the United States and the game of baseball. Among the hundred of items from Japan, one of my favorites is a program from the 1931 Major League tour featuring Lou Gehrig, Frankie Frisch, Lefty Grove, Rabbit Maranville and Mickey Cochrane, who together compiled a record of 17-0. I wonder if they ever thought that baseball would become such an international sport and that the Japanese would become such a baseball power?
The Japanese have had a chance to fully develop their own baseball history, and this has led to a strong sense of pride in their game and to the players that have been introduced to the rest of the world. This includes the Olympic Games, the World Baseball Classic and right into Major league Baseball. It will be interesting to see what type of artifacts and documents we acquire in future years relating to this element of the game.
Jim Gates is librarian of the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library.

Mr. Gates,
The World Baseball Classic was great to watch, and I loved seeing how baseball has grown in other countries. I would like to see a little bit more passion from the USA fans because this classic essentially represents the true "World Series". And what a great gift that Horace Wilson gave to Japan.
Mr. Gates,
Do you know where the baseball games were played in Japan during 1934 when Babe Ruth and company travelled to Japan for a barnstorming tour?
Greetings from Cooperstown and thank you very much for your follow-up comment to my blog entry. Baseball has become quite an international enterprise and I also hope that American fans can become as vociferous as the fans we see from other nations. Best wishes and I hope you enjoy the other Cooperstown Chatter entries.
Baseball in the attic,
Thank you very much for your recent inquiry to my blog. I am not as familiar with the 1934 tour, but Babe Ruth did lead a group of 13 major leaguers (including future HOFers Lou Gehrig, Lefty Gomez, Charlie Gehringer, Jimmie Foxx, and Earl Averill) on a barnstorming trip through the Far East. They played a total of 22 games in Japan, China and the Philippines. Unfortunately, I do not know the names of the ballparks in which they played.
Best wishes from Cooperstown.

Madonna Tickets
It might be hard to believe that Madonna is now well into her 50s, especially because she certainly doesn't look her age. Her music is also timeless, and now a new album is in the works that is likely to be followed by a Madonna concert tour. Over her incredible career she has sold more than 300 million albums around the world, and millions and millions of Madonna concert tickets. She has shown tremendous versatility over the years, from her pop beginnings with hits like "Borderline," "Material Girl" and "Like a Virgin" to her 90s success with tracks like "Vogue" and "Justify My Love" to the her more recent releases like "4 Minutes" with Justin Timberlake. So many artists have come and gone over the years, but Madonna keeps reinventing herself and her music, and that's what's allowed her to stay at the top for so long. If you want to be there with Madonna concert tickets, GoTickets is the place to get them.
When it comes to the best selling artists of all time, Madonna is right up near the top of the list and ranks as the #1 female performer in the world, even ahead of Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Barbra Streisand. Part of what makes Madonna's numbers so incredible is that she's only released 11 studio albums during her career, with a 12th one reportedly on the way soon. That new album will only add to her record total, and the next Madonna concert tour schedule might break the records set by her Sticky & Sweet Tour a few years back that grossed more than $400 million in Madonna ticket sales, breaking her own record for a solo tour. More than 3.5 million Madonna concert tour tickets were sold, which also set numerous records. If you want to be there for any of the Madonna concert tour dates, then GoTickets will be ready with your Madonna tickets.

Rihanna Tickets
Barbadian-born Rihanna broke into the music industry after a fateful meeting with music producer Evan Rogers. The following year, at the age of 16, she auditioned for Def Jam Records president Jay-Z. He instantly recognised her raw talent and unique commercial appeal, signing her to his record label. Her first single 'Pon de Replay' is a catchy blend of pop and reggae and it debuted in the billboard top 10. However, it was with the release of the critically acclaimed album 'Good Girl, Gone Bad' that Rihanna solidified her position as an international superstar. As Digital Songs Artist of the 2000s and one of the biggest selling artists in the world, Rihanna tickets are in huge demand. She's back with her new album 'Unapologetic' and you wouldn't want to miss the chance to see this island-girl turned global icon live in her worldwide '777' tour.

Rihanna Tour Dates and Tickets
Filmstar, popstar, style icon and business woman, Rihanna has dominated the pop charts for the last seven years. With her Bajan roots, Rihanna was originally marked as a reggae artist. However, following the highly publicised break-up with Chris Brown Rihanna took a new, darker direction with positive reactions from critics and the public alike. Her most recent multi-platinum selling album "Talk That Talk" includes collaborations with Calvin Harris and Jay-Z, and peaked at number 1 around the world. As a truly international superstar with unforgettable stage productions, it's no surprise that Rihanna tickets sell out fast.
