Local Burnaby and New Westminster businesses ecstatic with end of NHL lockout
Alfie Lau, Burnaby NOW
Published: Wednesday, January 09, 2013Kingsley Bailey's wife Debbie didn't appreciate the timing of the text he received at 5 a.m. Sunday morning.
"Who the heck is texting you at this time?" Debbie asked Burnaby's best-known ticket broker.
"I had to tell her it was a friend telling me the NHL lockout was over and business was going to pick up," said the North Burnaby resident. "I was so excited that I didn't go back to bed after that. I didn't jump on the bed or couch like Tom Cruise, but I was pretty happy."
Happy to see NHL back: Burnaby resident Kingsley Bailey is happy he'll be selling Vancouver Canucks tickets again after the NHL lockout ends. He's worked many big events in the past, including the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary and several football World Cups.

Bailey, who runs Vancouver Tour and Ticket Service in downtown Vancouver, said his business took a hit of at least 40 per cent for the three-plus months there was no Vancouver Canucks hockey at Rogers Arena.
With the Canucks set to start a 48-game schedule on Jan. 19, Bailey expects the next four months to be crazy busy.
"I think the good news for Canucks fans is you'll find that there will be a lot of good, affordable games early in the season," said Bailey. "I think fans will come back, but not all of them will, so that may mean more tickets are available."
One way Bailey was able to stay afloat while his biggest attraction was on the sidelines was to concentrate on another pseudo-local sports team that has captured the imagination of North American sports fans.
"We went big on the Seattle Seahawks," said Bailey. "Just because there was no hockey didn't mean people didn't have money to spend on events. There were so many Canadians who wanted to see the Seahawks and that was really good for business. ... Plus, we got a huge amount of exposure."
Another thing Bailey did was he capitalized on a great slate of concerts that came into Vancouver in the autumn.
"To have Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen come in on back-to-back nights was pretty good," he said. "Add in Neil Young and we've got Lady Gaga this weekend and it's been a good concert season."
Also very happy with the end of the NHL lockout is New Westminster bar manager Peter Saran.
Saran manages the River's Reach Pub and he has a similar story about what his Sunday morning was like.
"Around 5 a.m., my phone started going crazy and my family was wondering what the emergency was," said Saran. "I knew they were close to a deal, but to find out for real that it was over, that was good news."
Saran said business at the popular pub was a little off because of the lockout, but the resolution of the dispute couldn't have come at a better time.
"Before the holidays, we were doing OK because the Seahawks are huge and the NFL is big," said Saran. "We would've really felt it as soon as the NFL season ends, so for hockey to be back, that's really good for us."
Saran said personally, he's happy to see the Canucks and the NHL back, but it also means a little work outside of his job.
"I have to start working on my hockey pool now," he said. "I'm going to have to sit down and do some research because it's been so long since we had NHL hockey."

NFPA Journal®, March/April 2011
By Fred Durso, Jr.
One of the best defenses against anti-sprinkler legislation is sound research that can be used to convince lawmakers, whether through public outreach or legislative testimony, of the benefits of home fire sprinklers.
Research Foundation Executive Director Kathleen Almand answers questions about the new "Residential Fire Sprinklers -- Water Usage and Water Meter Performance Study."
Kentucky Home Moved by a family's tragic loss, a state lawmaker advocates for residential sprinklers
Case in point: Residential Fire Sprinklers — Water Usage and Water Meter Performance Study, a new report that concludes that a home fire sprinkler system uses, on average, only a small fraction of the water used by the fire service in a response to a fire at an unsprinklered home.
The study, commissioned by the Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF), found that water conservation of a sprinkler system is significant: the amount of water used to fight fires in homes without sprinkler systems can be many times higher than the amount discharged solely by a sprinkler system. In addition, many of the residential water meters tested met criteria established by NFPA 13D, Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes. The FPRF study found that projected water infrastructure demand could be reduced by 47 percent when homes in a community are protected by sprinklers.
"This report represents yet another piece of research to assist advocates with hard data to support the adoption of sprinklers in one- and two-family dwellings," says Gary Keith, NFPA's vice-president of Field Operations and Education.
The Foundation's new study is intended to supplement the FM Global/Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC) report, Environmental Impact of Automatic Sprinkler Systems, released last year and available at fmglobal.com. The study compared the environmental effects of large-scale fire tests on identically constructed and furnished residential living rooms, one controlled by sprinklers and the fire service, the other extinguished solely by firefighters. Test results indicated that half the amount of water was used to extinguish the fire in the sprinklered room. By extrapolating the data, researchers determined a potential 1,000 percent increase in water usage for fires in full-sized, unsprinklered buildings.
Rather than perform fire tests for the new study, researchers in the Bowie, Maryland, office of Exponent, a global engineering and scientific consulting firm, conducted a survey to determine the reported amount of water discharged by fire departments during 35 fires in one- and two-family homes in eight U.S. communities from June through October last year.
Using water supply information, calculations were performed on 18 sprinkler system designs for one- and two-family homes that simulated conditions of highest water flow and greatest system pressure demand. Results indicate that sprinkler systems could discharge up to, on average, 280 gallons (1,060 liters) of water per fire during 10 minutes of operation, assuming a single sprinkler operation. Ten minutes was chosen based on the survey's estimate of an average fire department's total response time and the NFPA 13D requirements for water supply duration, which gives an occupant enough time to safely evacuate the residence.
By comparison, the average amount of water recorded by fire departments in this study and discharged during fires at unsprinklered homes was 3,524 gallons (13,340 liters), more than 12 times the amount of water discharged by the typical home fire sprinkler system per fire. The actual water usage recorded spanned a range from 100 to 41,000 gallons, reflecting the fire conditions upon the arrival of the fire service. The water used per fire was approximately 10 times greater when the fire extended beyond the room of origin compared to water usage when fires were confined to the room of origin. "The FM Global/HFSC study shows that the established increase in water usage in home fires can be up to 1,000 percent without sprinkler protection," says Yunyong Utiskul, the study's project manager and a senior associate with Exponent. "What we found in our study was that this figure is [approximately] 1,200 percent. These findings are comparable, even though the methodology and the way we obtained the data are independent and dissimilar. The figure is in line with the fundamental theory of water-based fire suppression. In general, the earlier water is applied to a fire, the less water is needed to [control or] suppress it."
Meter says… Sprinklers also seem to positively affect a community's water infrastructure demand. Needed fire flows (NFFs), or the amount of water required for general firefighting operations at select locations throughout a community, were calculated for 17 homes in accordance with industry-recognized methods, including procedures outlined in NFPA 1, Fire Code. These methods incorporate building characteristics into the calculations, including the total floor area of the building, the type of construction, and the occupancy classification, while allowing a reduction in NFFs for buildings protected by sprinklers.The study found that the needed community fire flow, and the projected associated infrastructure required to deliver it, could be reduced by nearly 50 percent when homes in a community are protected by sprinklers.
To analyze water meters used in residential settings, researchers conducted experiments on 16 models from six manufacturers. Water meter size designations are commonly described in terms of the diameter of the pipe connecting the meter to the water supply. Four meter sizes were examined to address performance perceptions. For example, five-eighths-inch (1.5-centimeter) and three-quarters-inch (1.9-centimeter) meters are perceived as inappropriate for use under high flow conditions, whereas meters with a pipe size of an inch (2.5 centimeters) or more in diameter produce less loss, but are believed to be less accurate in measuring low-flow-rate conditions. Most meters exhibited metering accuracy within industry standards at flow conditions up to approximately 150 percent of their normal operating range. At high flow rates, considered above 35 gallons (132 liters) per minute (gpm), certain five-eighths-inch (1.5-centimeter) meters indicate a "significant decrease" in metering accuracy. "Systems in one- or two-family homes are unlikely to discharge with a flow rate of 35 gpm [132 liters per minute] during operation," Utiskul says. "Nonetheless, in a rare instance when…this flow rate is [exceeded], this temporary reduction [in metering accuracy] is a peripheral concern."
All meters also handled the minimum sprinkler flows outlined in NFPA 13D and the estimated expected flows without failure, and none of the meters failed mechanically during high-flow-rate tests. Ten of the sixteen meters produced pressure loss profiles in "good agreement" with their manufacturers' reported values based on design criteria that were less than, or similar to, the NFPA 13D suggested flow rate values. The remaining six, five of which were from a single manufacturer, exhibited pressure losses higher than NFPA 13D-suggested values for various flow rates and size meters.
The results "suggest that the unexpected pressure loss characteristic was possibly due to a lack of quality control or lack of standardized testing for pressure loss for meters from this manufacturer," Utiskul says. "Each tested meter was furnished with a unique metering accuracy certificate, but none of them contained any of the test data for pressure loss.
"The unexpected pressure loss from this manufacturer should not be a concern for all…available water meters," he says. "However, additional measures may be necessary to regulate hydraulic performance…through standardized testing and quality control."
Establishing additional conservative pressure values — design parameters that ensure the flow and pressure demands of a sprinkler system don't exceed water supply capacity — would compensate for losses specific to underperforming water meters, Utiskul adds. However, establishing such comparative values remains a hot topic in the sprinkler design community. "The choice for fire sprinkler systems ultimately comes down to certain decisions [from lawmakers] regarding [a range of considerations, including] the infrastructure," says Neil Wu, the report's principal technical contributor for the study and senior managing engineer with Exponent. "This work shows that fire sprinkler systems are compatible with existing water supply infrastructure available throughout the country."
The meter information, combined with the water-usage findings, offer a potent combination of hard data in support of home sprinkler installations, says NFPA's Keith. "This report demonstrates why water purveyors should not only eliminate existing barriers to sprinkler installations," he says, "but why they should also support sprinkler installations as a means of conserving water and providing cost-effective, efficient water supply infrastructures."

SIDEBAR Kentucky Home Moved by a family's tragic loss, a state lawmaker advocates for residential sprinklers
Irv and Cathy Bailey don't need sound science to convince them of the benefits of fire sprinklers—they experienced firsthand the tragedy sprinklers could have prevented. Their story of losing two grandchildren in a fire in 2009 is part of NFPA's Faces of Fire Campaign, which humanizes NFPA's Fire Sprinkler Initiative promoting home fire sprinkler provisions.
It should have been a perfect holiday. But when an early morning fire broke out, Irv and Cathy's young grandsons were trapped in an upstairs bedroom. The two boys died, three firefighters were injured, and the house was destroyed.
Moved by the Baileys' tragedy, Kentucky State Representative Jim Wayne filed legislation in February that would allow certain cities and counties to require sprinkler systems in new homes. A similar measure introduced in Indian Hills, Kentucky, included sprinkler provisions for new construction in its building code.
Helping the mayor of Indian Hills with the legislation was Russ Sanders, NFPA regional director and former fire chief of Louisville, Kentucky. The ordinance was challenged by the Kentucky Office of Housing, Buildings, and Construction and the Home Builders Association of Kentucky, which argued that local governments couldn't adopt building requirements more stringent than the state's. Fire safety groups appealed, but the Kentucky Court of Appeals upheld the challengers' position. At press time, legal measures prohibiting mandatory installation of residential sprinklers have been filed in 12 states this year. Similar legislation was introduced in 17 states last year, including Pennsylvania, where the state's Builders Association also filed an injunction to delay the state sprinkler adoption now in effect; the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania dismissed the lawsuit. In February, Pennsylvania legislators introduced a new bill that would nix the sprinkler requirement now in effect. Sprinkler supporters are encouraged by other statewide sprinkler provisions that have taken effect in California and Maryland, as well as requirements in other jurisdictions. Despite the setback in his neighboring town, Wayne was immediately on board when Sanders contacted him about introducing a similar bill in the state legislature. "What I'm advocating for is elected officials to decide what is best for their communities," Wayne says. "The bill gives them the authority to choose if this sprinkler provision is right for them. In terms of where I live, I would strongly recommend an adoption of sprinkler provisions for all new buildings. We have a large number of deaths and injuries by fires."
The Baileys' story began Christmas morning, 2009, when a fire erupted in their Louisville home as the family slept. Awakened by smoke alarms, Irv discovered a rapidly spreading fire in the dining room. His family left the house as he frantically tried to reach his grandchildren — William, 10, and Solon, 12 — who were trapped upstairs. The flames were too intense, and Irv only got halfway up the stairs before retreating. Once outside, he could hear the boys' screams. With help from neighbors, they hoisted a ladder to the bedroom and shattered a window. By then, however, flames had rushed through the home so quickly that oxygen from the broken window caused the fire to flash over, leaving no chance of rescue.
"Our smoke alarms worked, and the fire department was automatically summoned by our security system," says Irv in a video at firesprinklerinitiative.org. "Even with our alert systems working properly, we couldn't save the boys. The experts tell us that there would have been no loss of life if we had fire sprinklers."
Complementing the Baileys' story are two new Faces of Fire videos. Stuart Tom, a building official in Glendale, California, discusses how provisions his town passed in 1986 have prevented significant fire-related injuries and deaths. And dispelling sprinkler myths is Meredith Hawes, a public educator for the Grand Traverse Metro Fire Department in Traverse City, Michigan. Wayne equates NFPA's campaign with initiatives that prompted automobile safeguards. "Many of these safeguards — airbags, seatbelts, cushioning — have been adopted by law and have increased the cost of the automobile, but we reduced the number of fatalities and injuries," he says. "There's a parallel here with regard to building safety and construction."

And no, we the Workaholics Crew is not currently having a mustache growing competition; that's all JB, and we like him that way.
Join the Workaholics Tumblr this Thursday as we bring you another "Day on Set"!
We'll go behind the scenes of shooting our latest episode, meet members of the crew, and take you inside a day in the life of Adam, Blake, Ders and all the people who make Workaholics a reality.
Join us bright and early at call through the last shot of the day; from S'go! to S'go home!
They called it. We're done shooting Day 27 (of 40) of Workaholics Season 2.
Now it's all about wrapping up what we have to get ready and come back to shoot more tomorrow.
We honestly believe Workaholics has the best crew in TV (take that, Grey's Anatomy) and while we didn't get to showcase everyone today, we hope to in the future.
There wouldn't be a show without them, although there wouldn't be a blog without us, and we don't see them taking our picture. What gives.
Thanks to all the fans for all the feedback of our first Day on Set, and we hope to bring you another one soon.
Todd Daniels, Prop Master:
Flying a helicopter. Whether it was a prop helicopter or one he had from home, we don't know. You can imagine the types of things we make Todd buy to use in various scenes of Workaholics, and we're just glad that he hasn't been arrested when he has a full trunk of props.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- It took exactly three scrimmage plays for Eric Soza to become his team's all-time leading passer.
For the record, that was a 13-yard pass to CheRod Simpson in Texas-San Antonio's 31-3 win over Northeastern State (Okla.). Since then, Soza has carried the Roadrunners' offense against opponents from Bacone to Oklahoma State, and has established himself as a potent dual threat.
Make that a multi-faceted threat. You never know quite what he and his offense will do on any given down.
"We try to spread out in a wide variety of formations," Soza said. "We're very multiple - we can run under center, two tight ends, one running back [and] two tight ends, two running backs, three wideouts, four wideouts. ... try to get into a lot of formations to make the defense play as many base coverages as possible."
This Saturday, Marshall fans can try to count the formations, if they dare, when the Roadrunners arrive at Joan C. Edwards Stadium. Kickoff for the homecoming game is 2 p.m.
Thundering Herd defensive coaches and players can't count all motions, lineups and speed options, but they'll have to deal with them. The extra week the Herd had to prepare may or may not be enough.
"It's unusual to have a team that can actually execute the kind of perimeter, almost wishbone kind of blocking, if you will," said MU defensive coordinator Chuck Heater, "then come back and throw the ball as well as they're throwing it, 290 yards per game. That's what's pretty extraordinary."
UTSA is a third-year program still in the FBS reclassification stage, but Soza leads a team of veterans. The 6-foot, 210-pound native of Beeville, Texas, had a head start himself, being the son of a high school coach.
He came to UTSA after putting in a redshirt year at FCS program Texas State in 2009. He knew he faced a season of intrasquad scrimmages, but liked the school's vision and was very impressed by coach Larry Coker.
"The interaction with him was one I'll never forget," Soza said. "He treated me as a person, not as a recruit, and you want to play for someone like that. He had my well being in mind. He didn't just want me to be successful on the field, but he wanted me to be successful off the field. The more I talked to him, I knew he was a man of character and a man of God, and that was something I was really looking for in a coach."
With the tutelage of Coker and offensive coordinator Kevin Brown, Soza has grown up with a large nucleus of teammates who have stuck it out through the tough times - he's one of just 11 seniors on the roster, but there are 44 juniors and 35 two-year lettermen.
The offensive two-deep has a combined 227 starts in those seasons, even more than Marshall's 190 in four years. The Roadrunners are 2-3 (1-0 Conference USA), but that offense has put everybody on notice.
Among their statistical accomplishments:

This campground has nice private sites. This is a good basic campground with no frills. The main selling point in my book is the privacy. They have a good website.

We had a very good experience all three nights. We had site number 137, which in my opinion is the best site there. It is at the end of a row and in the shade. I probably would not stay here unless I could get a spot along the creek where we were. All the sites in the middle are without shade and close together. The office is very organized. The whole facility is well kept. The pool is nice. The location is convenient for going out to eat or shopping.

With the new year arriving I'm considering changing some of my bikes (just fancy a bit of a change for some of them). Trouble is I struggling to find a bike I really want to own (either new or old) that I've not already tried in the past.
Either new or old, what bikes float your boat sufficiently that you could really contemplate parting with your own hard earned cash to get?

I kinda like the Duke Streetfighter, but would probably not enjoy ownership as much as looking at it. Ditto RC8R.
I do like dirt bikes though....and hypermotards - SMR, Hypermotard, Dorsoduro

With your skills and knowledge have you thought of another bike build to your own requirements?
That way as you know you get what your after, although time consuming.
Edit if a little late having just read the question again, its my age.
Still find the V Max MK1 does all I need, although I have made one or two changes along the way since buying it in 1998.

I'm deffo going to be keeping the spondon and it's currently being moded for the forthcoming year. The Spondon Owners Club and Street Specials MCC are planning to have a stand at the festival of 1000 bikes at Mallory so it'll be there as a minimum.
I've just been modding my CBR900RR fireblade to fit a 17 front wheel and I might toy with changing the swingarm and seat unit on it. That said though I'm not looking to take on lots of other projects (already got a TL1000S streetfighter and CBR600 race bike project on the go).
I just fancy something a little bit different which is going to give me a bit of a buzz when riding it but don't have much in the way of a short list.

Well i want to Triumph dealer yesterday to be nosy and looked at the new Daytona 675, blue and white. I weren't to fond of it at first seeing it on a picture, but seeing it with my own eyes it looks pretty nice. Dont like the front intake though, its like a big hole i can fit half of my arm in. But i want a enduro bike like a KTM EXC or similar to play in the snow and use for winter riding. Dont want the Daytona covered in salt do we now
the word supermoto is screaming at me here.
BTW - isn't a TL1000S streetfighter an SV1000?

2 charged with enslaving Ohio woman found guilty
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) - Two people in Ohio have been found guilty of enslaving a mentally disabled woman for two years with her young child.
Jurors in a Youngstown federal court handed down guilty verdicts Friday on charges including forced labor conspiracy against 27-year-old Jordie Callahan and 32-year-old Jessica Hunt.
But both were found not guilty of stealing the woman's government benefits and tampering with a witness.
Prosecutors say the woman was sexually and physically abused and forced to do housework. They say she and the child were threatened with a python or pit bulls.
Attorneys for the pair say the woman wasn't forced to stay in the house where they lived in the northern Ohio town of Ashland.
Two others charged in the case pleaded guilty earlier and face sentencing this month.
6 Ohio fraternity men plead not guilty to hazing
AKRON, Ohio (AP) - Six fraternity members at a university in Ohio have pleaded not guilty to hazing charges.
The six students from the University of Akron appeared in court Friday a week after they were accused of paddling a pledge so hard that he bled through his pants.
All six are charged with misdemeanor assault and hazing.
Police at the University of Akron say a 22-year-old man told investigators he went to a hospital after multiple nights of being beaten with paddles.
A police report says the abuse happened over three weeks in January during the fraternity's pledge process.
Officials at the university say they've shut down the fraternity while the national leaders of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity say they will help authorities bring justice to anyone who may have violated the law.
Ohio's 4 casinos report revenue gains in February
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio's four casinos saw gains in revenue last month after the facilities reported lackluster figures in January and December.
February revenue figures were released Friday as the facilities enter the second year with all four of them in operation.
The Ohio Casino Control Commission reports that total revenue for the facilities approached $66.8 million in February. That's up from roughly $59.7 million in January.
Toledo's casino was closed for about 11 hours last month because of the winter weather.
Revenue from the voter-approved casinos has fallen far short of campaign promises that said they could be as high as $1.9 billion annually. Instead, the casinos are on track for a level closer to $900 million.
The other casinos are in Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati.
Spokeswoman: Ohio attorney general feeling better
CINCINNATI (AP) - A spokeswoman for Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says he will remain in a Cincinnati hospital overnight after a bout of vertigo.
DeWine spokeswoman Lisa Hackley says in a statement that DeWine is feeling much better after earlier feeling ill prior to a speaking engagement in Cincinnati.
She said DeWine will remain at The Christ Hospital for observation Friday night, but he is expected to be released Saturday.
Earlier Friday, an ambulance took DeWine from a downtown restaurant near Fountain Square to the hospital for evaluation.
The 67-year-old DeWine is a former U.S. senator and Ohio lieutenant governor. After losing his Senate seat to Democrat Sherrod Brown in 2006, DeWine ran for attorney general in 2010 and won.
DeWine, a Republican, is seeking re-election in November.
2 Ohio Libertarians lose spots on primary ballot
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Two Libertarian candidates for statewide office in Ohio have been tossed from the May primary ballot by the state elections chief.
Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted (HYOO'-sted) said Friday he relied on the recommendations of hearing officer Bradley Smith, a former federal elections commissioner.
Ohio Republican Chairman Matthew Borges (BOHR'-jihs) recently told reporters the party played a role in protests filed against gubernatorial candidate Charlie Earl and attorney general candidate Steven Linnabary.
Lawyers challenging Earl told Smith in hearings this week that Democrats helped fund and carry out his signature-gathering effort. Under Ohio law, petition circulators must be neutral or affiliated with a candidates' party.
Earl stood to draw votes from Republican Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik) as the governor faces a likely challenge from Democrat Ed FitzGerald this fall.
Ford shifting truck production from Mexico to Ohio
AVON LAKE, Ohio (AP) - Ford Motor Co. is announcing that it will build its Ford F-650 and F-750 trucks at its assembly plant west of Cleveland.
The automaker says it is shifting production from Mexico to its Avon Lake plant. Production will begin early next year.
The move announced Friday is part of a pledge Ford made with union leaders in 2011 to shift medium-duty truck production from Mexico.
The company says it's investing $168 million to make the change.

Anyway dominance is not must have. But deflection rune on the weapon is a must. It negates reflection and most of the melee hits ;)
The best arcane power regen is ApOc - usualy you can easily get 20 (10 from offhand 10 from head) and stack crit strike chance to 50 +- then you will be fine.PS: ive got the pulling necklace (basicaly when you deal dmg to moster it has chance to pull other mosnter to that target) so basicaly arcane hydra pulling mobs together then use blackhole on them and spam frozen orbs = gg -
posted a message on so far it seems to be the best leveling spec, since lifesteel should work until 70. Which means that if you have atleast 250k + buffed dps you should have no problem to run this on expert / master till 70.Posted in: Wizard: The Ancient Repositories
posted a message on Posted in: Wizard: The Ancient Repositories
posted a message on well indeed during frapsing I dont play perfectly like I normaly would. Thats true aswell as Blizzard as sort of overkill I used it mainly for kiting / extra dmg ability. Normaly I keep hydra 90% up + stacking dynamo. But so far I dont use dynamo anymore since i can get better passive.Posted in: Wizard: The Ancient Repositories
Btw dominance is good at lower difficulites but on higher ones it does not have that much use againts elites and bosses. -
posted a message on Hello all of you in this thread Ill try to cover some changes / builds etc in Beta. Ive got lucky that my friend allows me to play on his beta acc so I can test lots of things up.Posted in: Wizard: The Ancient Repositories
So here is 1st part aka how to lvl 60-70 on master+getting bloodshards for gambling (if you want to) Basicaly Master aint issue until like 68+ so its good way how to powerlvl the char if you ahve like 150-200k dps on life when the reaper of souls come out.
In the video Im doing bouties however they are unlocked untill you complete the act 5 story mode. So if you want to minmax your character you should go story line act 5 - normal / hard to just go fast throu it since it does not realy reward you with anything special and then go to the bounties mode - expert / master recomended for double bounty rewards. (the reward you keep untill 70 and then you gamble your gear once you hit it).
the spec in the video is Glacial spike / Frozen orb + arcane hydra /blizzard . Without legendaries ive found out this to be so far the best one for soloing content since it gives you great cc and kiting ability. which means alot on higher difficulties. Apoc is a must in this build to make it realy strong - specialy in rifts where there are alot of creepz.
next part will be - Gearing up in Rifts once you hit lvl 70 (comming soon) - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

A partire dall'estate 2013 i clienti dei motori e delle trasmissioni Volvo Penta per applicazioni da diporto potranno fare affidamento sui duplici miglioramenti legati alla garanzia dei prodotti Volvo Penta. La garanzia limitata di base è estesa fino a un massimo di due anni per l'intero prodotto e un periodo aggiuntivo di massimo tre anni per determinati componenti principali. Anche gli accessori acquistati contemporaneamente ai motori beneficeranno di un periodo di garanzia estesa.
The Polish boat builder Sunreef Yachts breaks new ground when powering their 60 feet power-catamaran with Volvo Penta´s IPS system. Sunreef is now in the midst of making IPS available for their entire power-catamaran range.
At Volvo Penta, environmental care is an important consideration when dreaming up new features — and it's integral to the company's new start/stop function, which reduces fuel consumption, noise and emissions.
Volvo Penta is now launching IPS900 with Rating 3 for commercial boats. This means that a larger number of boats for commercial use can take advantage of the well-known IPS benefits: improved fuel economy, better manoeuvrability and lower overall operating costs.
Volvo Penta D13 has now further been developed to meet EPA Tier 3 – the new marine environmental emission standard. The new version of D13 offers improved environmental properties with basically unchanged low fuel consumption.
This summer Volvo Penta takes one of its test boats down to the English Channel to show dealers, customers, press and other interested the benefits of the Volvo Penta IPS high performance pod system. One of the stopovers is at Southampton SEAWORK exhibition in the UK. This trip is inspired by the successful Volvo Penta IPS Baltic Trip that was performed during summer 2011.
In 2014 Volvo Penta will release its full line of Tier 4 Final-compliant industrial engines. But what exactly is Tier 4 Final, and what does it mean for customers?
Volvo Penta attracted scores of customers to its Bauma 2013 stand — the lure of seeing its complete range of new Stage 4/Tier 4 Final industrial engines proving irresistible. But the company also made a strong showing in all four corners of the exhibition, with a variety of OEMs proudly displaying Volvo Penta engines.
World-leading OEMs have signed supply agreements for Volvo Penta Tier 4/Final off-road diesel engines, with deliveries starting next year. With the strength of the Volvo Group's overall service and product offering, Volvo Penta conquers more and more global customers in the off-road segment.

Probably 3 of these 4 languages. Spanish, French, Russian, and Chinese.
edit: Spanish probably won't be one of the languages due to Univision carrying games in Spanish.

Spanish TV Schedule for World Cup. I guess this would explain why they added the HD feeds of Univision and Telefutura.


text: Organic milk from grass-fed cows. Bronte pistachios flown in from the slopes of Italy's Mount Etna. Free-range chicken eggs used the day they're laid. It's safe to say Pitango Gelato is a wee bit obsessive about the ingredients in its frozen treats. At their Fells Point storefront, which opened earlier this summer (802 S. Broadway, 410-702-5828), each gelato is kept in its own lidded compartment to prevent flavors from mixing. And such flavors! We love the simple, eggy indulgence of its crema-flavored gelato, but we're also enamored of the more complex offerings, like a "mojito" sorbet that combines mint and lime into one refreshingly icy treat. All we can say is that obsession tastes great.

It would be a waste of our time and our users' to list the same website in every subcategory of the same exact category. Think about it... why even bother to HAVE subcategories if every single one has the same 40 department stores listed in it? Generally speaking, if your website has information about, say, blue widgets, green widgets, and red widgets, we'll list your website in the parent category, Widgets. (You may like that better anyway, because the higer-level categories have more visibility and better PR. Our users definitely prefer it that way; trust me.) If your website had information about, say, blue widgets and the life of Steve Irwin, then we'd be much more likely to consider deeplinking, because people looking for information on one of those subjects is highly unlikely to find the other. The dichotomy isn't actually between commercial and noncommercial sites, it's between single-issue sites and high-information sites. With VERY few exceptions, commercial websites are single-issue sites. They have all the information you could possibly ever want about ONE company and its related goods and services. A high-information site, like CNN, the Smithsonian Institute, Stanford University, Wikipedia, etcetera, has tons of information on many SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT topics. Therefore, it's useful for us to list a site like that multiple times. Putting in additional listings for every single type of clothing carried by gap.com would benefit nobody but the Gap. Forgive me if I don't consider one poster complaining about the fact that CNN's website has more listings than their own a "firestorm," exactly. ;-)
Nope, it gets listed in the parent category, Shopping/Clothing.

ARKOMA ŌĆö Arkoma Coach Mark Weatherton had a scheduling quirk this week with his Mustangs facing five games. He had to rest a few of his starters and save them for games later this week. The Ponies ended up taking a 20-3 drubbing by the hands of the Panama Razorbacks Monday afternoon.
HEAVENER ŌĆö The Poteau High School track teams swept the team titles at the Heavener Invitational April 2 at Harvey Stadium. The Pirates scored 91 points, while the Lady Pirates had a whopping 134 points. Trevor Shankle won the shot put (46-.25), while Austin Barrette, Jesse Woodson, Michael Reynolds and Kendrick Hardaway won the 400-meter relay (44.31 seconds). Woodson was runner-up in the 200-meter dash (22.95 seconds), while coming in third in the 100-meter dash (11.16). Nico Hall was second in the 3,200-meter run (11:19), while placing third in the 1,600-meter run (5:13.72).
BEGGS ŌĆö Spiro Lady Bulldog sprinter Tyeecha Hawkins won the 100-meter dash Thursday at the Beggs Invitational. Her winning time was 12.4 seconds. Hawkins was runner-up in the 200-meter dash (26.63 seconds), Meochea McKesson was third (34-1) and Philicea Mack was fifth (34-3) in the shot put. The 800-meter relay was third (1:54.2) and the 400-meter relay was fourth (52.38 seconds). As a team, the Lady Bulldogs were sixth with 46 points. Lincoln Christian won the girls' team title with 145 points, with Oklahoma City Millwood a distant second (71 points).
It was another successful track season for the girls at Pansy Kidd Middle School this year. The eighth grade had their second undefeated season. They also teamed up with the freshman girls to snag the gold at Greenwood and Wilburton. The seventh grade took home three first-place plaques and a runner-up plaque, with their highest score being a whopping 246 points at its own meet.
OKTAHA ŌĆö The Poteau Lady Pirates and the Pocola Lady Indians represented LeFlore County at the Oktaha Tournament last week. The Lady Pirates went 4-1 in the event. They beat Atoka 9-0, Fort Gibson 12-3, Sequoyah-Tahlequah 6-2 and Sallisaw 8-0. Their only loss was a 17-4 loss to Tahlequah in the title game. As for the Lady Indians, they defeated Quinton 17-8, got a forfeited win over Warner and beat Keys (Park Hill) 7-5. However, they lost 8-0 to Sequoyah-Tahlequah, 10-1 to Fort Gibson and 11-8 to Henryetta to finish eighth out of 16 teams.
Girls are needed to play for an age 12-and-younger softball team in the Green Country Softball League. Games will take place at the Poteau Area Recreational Complex. The team will practice in Cameron. For additional information or to register, call Mike House at (918) 658-5510. ŌĆö ŌĆö ŌĆö The Poteau Lady Pirates softball program will have an age 6-7 coach-pitch league beginning in May and end its season in June.
Gary Clay Thompson, 49, of Poteau died Friday, April 6, 2012, in Poteau.┬ĀGary was born March 14,1963, in Poteau to Phillip Don and Beverly Wray (Newell) Thompson.┬ĀGary worked at OK Foods. He was preceded in death by his sister, Lisa Thompson, and grandparents, Truman and Paulene Thompson.┬Ā
Theresa Ann Cosgrove, 61, of Bokoshe died Friday, April 6, 2012. Services were held Tuesday, April 10, at United Methodist Church in Bokoshe under the direction of Mallory-Martin Funeral Home, Spiro.
Jack Dempsey Duncan, 93, of Poteau, formerly of Heavener, died Sunday, April 8, 2012, in Pocola. Dempsey, a longtime area resident, was born Jan. 7., 1919, in Watts to Albert and Magnolia Parmallee ŌĆ£NoleŌĆØ (Rhodes) Duncan. He was a member of First Baptist Church of Heavener, a U.S. Army World War II veteran and retied after 40 years as a KCS Railroad engineer. He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Reta Faye (Bowen) Duncan; and son, Norris Lee Duncan.
If last week's LeFlore County Baseball Tournament was not enough for you, there's good news. The 2012 Slow-Pitch County Tournament started Monday at the Poteau Area Recreational Area and will end on Thursday. If you want to see the diamond dolls of the county in one place, here's your chance! Setting the Record Straight Now that the 2012 LeFlore County Baseball Tournament is complete, Spiro Coach Paul Croft did want to make sure that all fans were aware of why the tournament took place in Spiro and not Arkoma ŌĆö which was the host school.

no, dont think thats a good idea, if they did that, whats the point of performing, this society is too technological, if you wanna see them live, kick it "old school" and actually go to one of their shows, watching them on the internet, nothing like the experience of seeing them in person. technology's got us lazy and awkward, half the kids these days cant have a decent conversation with each other if its not texting or online chatting. my point, fuck technology, its nothing like the real thing and the emotions you get when your in person. (the reason love died) plus theyd loose money, cause less people would pay to go see them in person... this coming from a teenager
