Minneapolis stands a good bet to get its lengthiest protected bike lane by far with both concept designs unveiled for a paired set of one-way crosstown streets proposing physically separated lanes between cars and bikes.
The designs for next year's planned repaving of E. 26th and 28th Streets differ mainly in whether each street gets a one-way protected bike lane or whether a two-way lane is installed on 26th. Both rely on drivers giving up one of their current lanes.
The designs presented to the community Wednesday night are intended to slow speeders and to better protect people on foot and bikes. Bikers now largely eschew the twin streets in favor of the Midtown Greenway and residential streets, according to traffic counts.
"These streets are dangerous and we need safety improvements immediately," said Council Member Alondra Cano, who represents the area slated to see repaving next year. A four-year-old pedestrian was killed by a car along 26th near Stewart Park two years ago at twilight.
The initial work next year would happen between Interstate 35W and Hiawatha Avenue. But it's likely to influence any future repaving of the twin one-way streets as far west as Hennepin Avenue, according to transportation planners.
Protected bike lanes use curbs, metal bollards, parked cars, plastic pipes or planters to separate driving and biking lanes. They're the third generation of on-road bike lanes to be introduced in Minneapolis after the initial narrow painted lanes, and later buffered painted lanes about the width of a car lane.
The city's first protected bike lane is a mere six blocks along 1st Avenue. N. downtown. Construction of a two-way set of protected lanes is expected any week now on an eight-block section of W. 36th St. east of Lake Calhoun. But the work on 26th and 28th would encompass more than 20 blocks.
The potential protected lanes on 26th and 28th are still some distance from a certainty. Jon Wertjes, the city's traffic director, said the next step is to factor in public feedback on the alternatives and put them through analysis of their impact on motorized traffic and cost.
Then things get political, since the City Council ultimately would approve layout changes, as well approve outside funding that Wertjes said would be necessary to pay the cost of bike lanes that are much costlier than extra-wide painted lanes, such as those installed when Portland and Park avenues were narrowed to two traffic lanes.
The city has earmarked $400,000 in 2015 to make biking or pedestrian improvements on the two streets when it strips a layer of old asphalt and repaves 26th while adding a thin layer of tar and rock chips to resurface 28th. Among the potential improvements for people on foot are intersection bumpouts to reduce the time and distance needed to cross the streets, and concrete islands to give them a refuge partway across a street.
But it's the proposed reduction in the number of lanes that's likely to provoke a backlash from some drivers. Wertjes acknowledged that people who like to drive at more than the posted speed limit of 30 miles an hour "are going to be sorely disappointed" by the design concepts.
If a protected bike lane is added to each street, they would shrink in the Hiawatha-35W section from three continuous traffic lanes to two lanes, although a third lane would be available for intermittent stretches, subject to turn lane and parking needs. That's also true on 26th if a two-way bike lane was added there, but 28th would maintain its current number of lanes under that scenario.
"This has a variety of positive impacts," said Jose Luis Villasenor, who lives between 26th and 28th in the Phillips community. He said he hesitates to bike on the two streets with his three boys in a trailer and child seat. He said the proposed designs make the streets safer and promote biking among the area's minority residents.
Why does 26th get the two-way bike lanes in that proposal? Wertjes said one factor is that 26th serves some major destinations, including a medical complex and Wells Fargo's operations in the old Honeywell campus. Another is that 26th is farther than 28th from another major biking facility, the Midtown Greenway.The city is also studying the feasibility of adding protected bike lanes on E. 24th St. or Franklin Avenue.
But the proposed design that installs two-way bike lanes on 26th was found lacking by Ethan Fawley executive director of the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition, who said 28th should get at least a bike lane. Some bikers attending the open house said they'd like to see a more substantial barrier between cars and bikes than the lightweight plastic tubes the city has used in some spots. Wertjes said that the type of separation haven't been determined.
In the project's web site, comments favoring protecting bike lanes appeared to draw substantially more support than those from people opposing a lane reduction.
(Photos: Above -- the city's first protected bike lane on 1st Avenue N used parked cars to shield bikers; Right -- Another protected lane on the Plymouth Avenue Bridge uses liught plastic pipes to separate bike and driving lanes. No decision on type of separation has been made for 26th and 28th streets.
The already detoured W. River Parkway will get added trail detours this week with trail reconstruction between Plymouth and Franklin avenues.
The work will mean trails closings through the rest of the construction season and into 2015, park officials said.
The 3.2 miles of trail in some spots include the original paving when portions of the bike and pedestrian trails were created. The trail ranges from as old as 38 years on spots of the parkway to as new as 16 years old in the newest segment of central riverfront parkway opened in 1998. Some of the latter area also was repaved after the construction of the new Interstate 35W bridge.
The parkway and its biking and walking trails have been closed just south of S. 4th Street since a June 19 mudslide. Minneapolis Park and Recreation officials have said that section of parkway near the University of Minnesota's West Bank campus may not reopen by the end of the year, while they attempt to devise a means of stabilizing soil that continues to wash down the hill.
According to the most recent bike counts available, the parkway bike path is used by about 1,400 cyclists a day near the Hennepin Avenue Bridge.
The work is being paid for by $2.2 million in state and federal funding. Work is scheduled to begin with tree removal on the project's Franklin end, with removal of trail paving following next week, working upriver initially.
Completion of the entire project isn't expected until next summer. Among the trail improvements planned as part of the project are better connections to the Stone Arch Bridge and the Cedar Lake Regional Trail, replacement of some warped or rotting planks opposite the Mill City Museum area, and a new trailhead with a kiosk and drinking fountain at the south end of Bohemian Flats.
The recent addition of the Arthur and Edith Lee house to the National Register of Historic Places highlights the paucity of black-oriented Minneapolis sites on the prestigious federal list.
St. Paul boasts five of the state's nine national register sites associated with black history. The Lee home at 4600 Columbus Av. S. represents only the second such black-oriented listing for Minneapolis on the national list. It was the site of mob gatherings of thousands in 1931 when a black family bought the home in an all-white neighborhood.
To be sure, there may be additional sites that have been designated as worthy of historic preservation as important parts of the city's heritage under a local preservation ordinance. But one can use the city's searchable map of such landmarks to scan areas of long significance historically for black residents, such as the South Side area around Hosmer library, or the entire North Side, without finding a single locally designated site with an obvious association with black history or residents. That's aside from the city's lone other national regisrter site associated with black history, the Lena O. Smith home.
But one group has no trouble finding a collection of sites associated with or commemorating black history. That's the Major Taylor Bicycling Club of Minnesota, a group of black cyclists.
The club is sponsoring its annual Dark2Dawn ride on Aug. 23. The all-nght ride begins at 9 p.m. at Martin Luther King Park, 4055 Nicollet Av. S., winds to about a dozen sites in Minneapolis and St. Paul, and ends with a 6 a.m. breakfast. Registration is required for the $25 event that's a fundraiser for the club, named after the legendary black cyclist who competed professionally at the turn of the 19th century, setting world records for speed.
The moderately paced ride of about 50 miles is billed as a tour through African-American historical geography, and will feature speakers at each site. In Minneapolis, the tour includes the Lee house, the historically black E. 38th Street and 4th Avenue S. business district, the Minnesota African American Museum, Bassett Creek and the Van White Bridge, the J.D. Rivers garden, the Homewood subdivision in the Willard-Hay neighborhood, and Morrill Hall at the University of Minnesota. St. Paul sites include St. Peter Claver and Pilgrim Baptist churches, the Hallie Q. Brown complex with Penumba Theatre, Minnesota History Center, and Union Depot. More information is at: http://tinyurl.com/m9kzhso
Until the Lee house designation, the only national register listing associated with black history in Minneapolis was the home of Lena O. Smith, an early black lawyer, and a longtime leader in the Minneapolis branch of the NAACP. She also representated the Lees in their negotiations with the the white-dominated homeowners association.
One black-oriented business long at the corner of 38th and 4th, the 80-year-old Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder, is being considered for local designation. More may emerge next year. That's when the city's heritage preservation staff hopes to focus more on properties associated with people of color, according to city planner John Smoley.
(Photo above: The Lena O. Smith house at 3905 5th Av. S., was the only Minneapolis site associated with black history on the National Register of Historic Places until July.)
Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges said Friday that lawyer Donald Lewis, who gave the maximum amount to her 2013 election, will lead what she described as an independent investigation into a police arrest involving activist Al Flowers
Flowers supporters said they have confidence in Lewis, but criticized the scope of his appointment. Lewis was assigned to examine whether police department policy was vioalated in the late July arrest of Flowers. His attorney, Bobby Joe Champion, said Lewis should be assigned the entire criminal investigation.
"I'm not sure how you bifurcate these things unless you're trying to get a desired outcome," said Champion. "Don Lewis has always been a person of integrity," he added.
Lewis withdrew from a 2001 appointment to head an investigation into City Hall corruption after that arrangement drew criticism because of his political support for then-Mayor Sharon Sayles Belton.
Council members questioned that appointment because of the appearance of impropriety rather than the issue of whether Lewis, an experienced investigator, was qualified.
According to campaign records, Lewis gave $500 in contributions to the Hodges campaign in 2013. Lewis also gave $250 to mayoral candidate Jackie Cherryhomes. One lawyer in his current firm gave another $125 to Hodges, while another gave $500 to Mark Andrew.
In 2001, he held a fundraiser for Sayles Belton at his law firm, donated to her campaign and had her lawn sign at his south Minneapolis home.
There was no immediate reaction from the mayor's office on the question of whether he could be independent in a probe of the late July arrest of Flowers in an altercation at his home. Lewis deferred questions to the mayor.
Mayoral spokeswoman Kate Brickman said in response to questions about the scope of his duties that "Lewis is a private practice civil law attorney who has been asked to investigate whether the involved officers violated department policy regarding use of force in connection with the arrest. The chief is considering next steps with respect to a criminal investigation and can provide an update on that probably sometime next week."
"Mr. Lewis is the right person to conduct this investigaiton," Hodges said in announcing the appointment of Lewis. "He is a respected leader in the community who I know will be thorough and fair."
Lewis is a Minneapolis lawyer who was dean of the Hamline University law school from 2008 to 2013, and worked as a federal prosecutor. He previously investigated allegations of academic fraud in the University of Minnesota men's basketball program and lead an independent investigation for St. Paul officials into the 2013 landslide at Lilydale Regional Park in which two children died.

The lights should be on along the Hiawatha LRT Trail by the end of the year, some six years after a series of robberies on the bike trail and the connecting Midtown Greenway.
That's what city specs call for in a bid up for City Council approval this month. The $600,000 project funded by the city and Hennepin County will install lights every 95 feet in the remaining unlit areas of the trail, which parallels the Blue Line. The area to be filled in lies between 11th Av. S. on the eastern edge of downtown and E. 26th Street in the Seward neighborhood.
According to a city memo, the lights will cost some 33 percent less than the engineer's estimate. That partly reflects the presence of several lights already installed near the Metro Transit operations center, and the earlier installation of lights south of 26th when the Sabo bridge for the greenway was built.
The new lights will be higher-efficiency LED lights, which use 50 percent less energy than high-pressure sodium lights. Existing lights on the trail will be retrofitted to LED as part of the project. They'll be designed to spill light in an oval-shaped pattern along the LRT trail, according to Allan Klugman, a city engineer.
The two trails were the site of at least 10 attacks in late 2008, including one armed robbery of a Star Tribune videographer. That prompted the formation of a Trail Watch patrol of the trails organized by the Midtown Greenway Coalition that continues six years later.
There have been muggings maybe once or twice a year since then on both trails, according to Soren Jensen, the coalition's executive director. But he said that the coalition has tested light levels on the greenway with meters, finding dim spots in about a dozen areas. Three lights were added last year and three more are coming this year, he said. Jensen said priority is being given to lighting trail areas near stairways that can provide quick getaways for groups of youth that in a typical attack surround a lone biker. He said security cameras on the greenway are being improved, and he's hoping for signs that warn potential muggers that they're being filmed.
Jensen offers these safety tips 1) Bike with a companion after dark. 2) Call in suspicious activity to 911 even if you are able to speed past a group of youths since they may prey on the next biker. 3) Keep using the greenway because there's safety in numbers.

Mars at Opposition
Week of March 30 — April 5, 2014
While in college during the early 1970s, I worked one summer as a counselor in a Pennsylvania children's home. One of my favorite residents there was a rather burly street-wise kid named Rufus. Rufus taught me to play pool, and I taught him about space.
I have no idea how our discussion began, but one afternoon we were talking about Mars. I mentioned that he could see the Red Planet in the sky later that evening. His response really shocked me: "Get out!" he reacted. "You can't see Mars. It's another planet!"
That was the first time I realized how abstract astronomy must seem to some people, and how removed they must feel from the universe.
I can't remember if Rufus ever went out to gaze toward Mars that night, but if you've never seen the Red Planet before, this is a great time to get started.
Now glowing at its brightest, Mars appears against the stars of the constellation Virgo, the maiden, which, of course, lie trillions of miles farther than the planet and only appear along the same line of sight.
Mars reaches its official "opposition" on April 8, when the planet lies directly opposite from the sun in our sky. Head outdoors shortly after dark and you'll see what I mean. Stand with your back to the sunset point and there, right in front of you, will glow the brilliant orange light of Mars. You'll have a hard time missing it since it outshines every star in that area of the sky.
Stargazers who keep a close eye on the Red Planet over the next few weeks will notice it drifting its way westward through the stars of Virgo — away from the bright star Spica — where it will appear to stop its westward motion in late May, turn around and begin heading eastward once again. By mid-August, it will enter the constellation of Libra, the scales, and will appear some 2.5 times fainter.
To understand why this happens, imagine viewing Earth, Mars and the sun from space. Each day, our planet moves 1.5 million miles along its orbit around the sun. Mars, orbiting farther from the sun's gravitational pull, travels more slowly. This means that, every 26 months or so, the Earth catches up with Mars from behind, passes it on the "inside," and then gradually pulls ahead of it.
You can think of it as two racecars on concentric circular tracks. If the inner car is traveling faster, it will regularly "lap" the outer car and its driver will see the outer car appearing to go backwards for a short time.
One easy way to track this motion is by making a sketch of the planet's position among the stars of Virgo from week to week, or even by taking a series of photographs of the area.
Though opposition occurs officially on April 8 this year, the planet will actually reach its closest point to Earth six days later, when it will lie within only about 57,406,000 miles. In other words, now's the time to get out and begin checking out Mars.
Rufus, I hope you're out there keeping watch!

Screamfest to Premiere Malone's Parasomnia!
Just a few days after we posted an article that was the result of a recent chat I had with Jeffrey Combs (read it here), word has come down about the premiere for one of the films he mentions very much looking forward to seeing, William Malone's Parasomnia.
Exclusive: Jeffrey Combs Talks Dark House, Parasomnia & More!
During the recent Monster Mania convention in Cherry Hill, NJ (full report here), I took some time out to sit down with Jeffrey Combs, one of the most beloved and hardest working genre actors in the scene.
New Parasomnia Trailer
House on Haunted Hill director Bill Malone just dropped a line to us to let us know that there's a brand new trailer for his latest feature, Parasomnia, over on the film's official site. And I have to say; it's pretty damn cool.
Parasomnia Trailer Awakens
The first trailer for William (House on Haunted Hill, Feardotcom) Malone's latest feature, Parasomnia found its way online via the folks over at Horror.com and it's worth a look if you're in the mood for something weird.
Submitted by Johnny Butane on Fri, 01/04/2008 - 4:26am
Combs on Parasomnia Status
All has been very quiet on the front of Bill Malone's latest horror opus, Parasomnia, for a while now ("Tons of New Parasomnia Pics!" – August 2007); and according to star Jeffrey Combs, that's exactly the way Malone wants it right now.
Malone Wants Your Help!
A few weeks back we made mention of the latest film on the way from House on Haunted Hill and Feardotcom helmer William Malone called Parasomnia. Enjoying the taste of freedom he experienced shooting his Masters of Horror episode, "The Fair-Haired Child," Malone took on the project without the involvement of any studio and raised the funds to make it himself.
Submitted by Jon Condit on Mon, 11/27/2006 - 5:52am
Malone Catches Parasomnia
Been wondering just what the hell House on Haunted Hill director William Malone's been up to since his excellent Masters of Horror entry last season? Well, a good place to start would be Horror Hound #4 (review), which has a great interview with the man, but for a quick fix I would direct you over to Fango.

Malone, Bill (Parasomnia)
What if sleeping gave you anything but rest? Can you imagine suffering from a disease that eats away your precious time here on our planet? Well, director Bill Malone certainly can, and wi

The Beehive State college basketball season highlight
For all but two of Utah's six Division-1 basketball teams, the season is over.
KSL TV sports published this season's highlight reel of Utah's premier college clubs on YouTube on Sunday. This season, which has yet to end for the BYU Cougars and the Weber State Wildcats, featured a major winning streak from the Utah State Aggies in the preseason, the University of Utah's first Pac-12 conference tournament win and first back-to-back Pac-12 wins, and a major winning streak by Weber State near the end of the season. It also featured buzzer-beaters, blocked shots, bewildering fakes, thunderous slam dunks and a lot of smiles. Nearly all of the best moments can be seen on the video
BYU and Weber State are still rolling. BYU will take on the Mercer Bears in the second round of the NIT on Monday, and the Weber State Wildcats will take on the winner between UC Irvine, a team Weber has already defeated, and Oral Roberts on Wednesday.
Where did Utah's programs end up before the tournament season began? DeseretNews.com Sports Web Editor Matt Petersen took a look at each one of the state's Division-1 basketball programs starting with BYU.

Football is a joke. Although it is a great game to play in real life and on a 'Station, but I will NEVER EVER watch a game on TV or go to a game (and I haven't for years).
Wait, how is the sport of football at fault? Football players and staff are the only ones who commit these crimes, right? This can happen in any sport and happens in circles outside of sports too. Get your head out of your ass and you may see that the sport of football is in no way responsible for Sandusky being a predator and others within his circle covering up atrocities.
Human nature and irresponsible people with compromised morals are at fault.

Melbourne Vixens have set a new standard for team defence, now they have to keep to it.
The Vixens played themselves a game clear on top of the ladder with a 64-26 thrashing of reigning champions Adelaide Thunderbirds at Hisense Arena on Saturday.
If the Vixens weren't seen as a real contender for the ANZ championship before, they are now as they kept the Thunderbirds to the lowest total in competition history, with 28 the previous low.
The losing margin was also a Thunderbirds' club record.
Vixens coach Simone McKinnis said the standard was now set and her side had to find even higher levels to remain a premiership contender. ''Part of it is learning what that feels like and knowing that's what you can do and setting that standard for yourself,'' she said.
''We have learnt different things along the way but that is what it feels like when everyone is working and we are sticking to the game [plan]. You have to learn that about yourselves.''
The Vixens led 35-15 at half-time and continued to dominate throughout the second half keeping the visitors to just four goals in the last term.
Poor shooting hurt the Thunderbirds but it was caused by exceptional pressure defence from the Vixens who repeatedly forced turnovers or missed shots and then converted.
Vixens shooter Karyn Bailey shot 34 goals from 36 attempts while Cath Cox kept pace with 18 goals from 25 shots.
The visitors' 26 goals came from 46 attempts. Jamaican import Carla Borrago was benched after shooting three of seven goals in the first term and played in defence in the second half.
McKinnis said she still saw areas that needed improvement but she also praised her players.
''I was blown away by our first quarter and just in the first quarter a real statement was made - then they continued to push that,'' McKinnis said.
Vixens captain and goal defence Bianca Chatfield said the win was built on players applying pressure across the court.
''It's something we have been working really hard on,'' Chatfield said.
''We have really started to get that right, it's our attacking end putting on that much pressure that by the time it gets down to us [defence] the other team have had to make 20 passes.
''We knew we had a performance like this coming, the last two weeks have been a stepping stone to this moment.
''If you are going to win this premiership you have to keep pushing yourselves to get better each game.''

Recipe by CECILIAMORISON
"Made with hard boiled egg yolks to add a twist of body and flavor to the usual cookie press spritz!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 cups
salted butter, softened
1 cup
white sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons
almond extract
4 cups
all-purpose flour
This is a simple recipie with delicious results. I opted to finish each off with a chocolate drop. Made about 32 medium size cookies.
I opted for orange extract instead of almond, and added zest of a full orange. It's still missing something. More sugar? Salt? I don't know, but for how buttery/yolk-y these are, I wouldn't make them again.

Nerd king Joss Whedon has given a fan something way cooler than an autograph.
After a humble tweeter, @ThoughtOtter, "summoned" Whedon on Twitter, the man himself showed up. So @ThoughtOtter asked for what we all would ask for from him: more Buffy.
And then, because he's pretty much the coolest person in the world, Whedon did this:
@ThoughtOtter your wish is my command here ya go http://t.co/mf2s9jagG0—
Joss Whedon (@josswhedon) July 05, 2014
I'm pretty sure we're going to have to consider that napkin (or is it a tablecloth, discuss!) doodle canon. To be totally honest, that is an excellent summation of the show.
And it's almost as good as our favorite Buffy doodle ever.
Buffy will patrol tonight :) #Hush #season4 #BTVS #Buffy http://t.co/bUWFOdmG2J—
Morgane (@Morgane217) September 28, 2013
So if I wish for more Firefly I might get a doodle too? Pretty, pretty please?

- Summary: Learn the 8 Rules of Fight Club. In the underground world of Fight Club, the fight isn't over until someone goes limp, taps out, or is beaten. Immerse yourself in this gritty, visceral world of bare-knuckle fighting, with action, story elements and environments true to the Fight Club movie. The extreme realism of the game will make you feel every punch and kick by delivering shocking visuals, untraditional moves, and special effects in fully interactive environments.

Plays surprisingly well on its foundation of three schools of combat: brawler, marial artist, and grappler. Place it next to Japan's best and the game gets pummeled. [Nov 2004, p.75]
It's a flawed and shallow button masher (very few moves and no technique) but also visually alluring and reasonably entertaining for a second-tier fighting game.
The fighting mechanics are highly outdated and just don't reach to the heights of something like "VF4."
It's hard to figure how they could have got the story, characters, and point more wrong than this. Perhaps by replacing Tyler Durden with, say, Dick Cheney, things would have been worse.
A resounding failure. Unless you're a masochistic Fight Club fan looking to purposely have your sensibilities offended, then you'd be well advised to stay far away from this game.
The absence of Ed Norton's and Brad Pitt's likenesses makes the generic characters look like a pack of half-naked Ken dolls, excepting the one with man boobs. [Dec 2004, p.108]
Sure, it's pretty generic underneath it all, but the layering of sheer badness elevates it to a certain legendary state. Give it a rent, and let the hilarity begin at the fact everything comes off as either a really clever parody of licensed games-or one of the worst things you've ever had to play.
Score distribution:
Positive: 5 out of 15

Dec 8, 2013This is one of the worst games I have ever played, the game is a fighting game and in all regards a really horrible one at that. I couldn't get pass the forth level and to be honest I still would of hated it, graphics were very aged even by PS2 standards. The controls are be on worthless, the tutorial is down right worthless and I fell like the my time was wasted on this game forget about this game and watch the movie once because just like the game it only takes one viewing for you to forget about your experience.… Expand
Apr 13, 2012Awful. Missed the point of the book and movie by a **** mile and is a terrible cash-in with awful game mechanics and... just pleas don't buy this game. Go read the superior book and then watch the amazing movie and forget this ever existed.… Expand

Notice something wrong, missing, or unsatisfactory? Feel free to edit pages yourself and make use of discussion pages. Wiki content is created, maintained, and administrated by players. See how you can help.
Account vault
The account vault is an account-wide storage for items, and can be used to exchange them between characters on the same account. It is accessed by speaking to a banker or by visiting any crafting station.
[edit] Bank
The bank contains up to twelve storage panes, each with 30 slots. Each account begins with one pane; additional panes cost 600 each — click on the "lock" icon below the last pane to purchase.
[edit] Collections
Collections holds up to 250 of each item. This capacity can increased by purchasing up to 5 Collection Expanders, for a maximum of 1,500 items per stack. It contains space for:
- Common Crafting Materials (62 types)
- Fine Crafting Materials (50 types)
- Rare Crafting Materials (54 types, appearance)
- Ascended Materials (19 types)
- Gemstones and Jewels (45 types)
- Cooking Materials (104 types)
- Festive Materials (15 types, appearance)
- Miniatures Set I (55 types)
- Miniatures Set II (46 types)
- Miniatures Set III (49 types)
- Miniatures (Special)
[edit] Deposit from inventory
Everything in the collections can be deposited directly from your character's inventory, regardless of where you are in the world. There are two methods for doing this.
- Right-click an individual item and select Deposit Collectible from the context menu to deposit only that item.
- Click the gear icon in the top right and select Deposit All Collectibles from the drop down menu to deposit all collectibles in your inventory. There are two exceptions to this "deposit all" option:
- Miniatures are ignored.
- All items in bags with the "invisible" property are ignored.
- Additionally, if the stack of an item in your collection has reached the stack limit, that item will be ignored.
[edit] Wardrobe Storage
- Primary article: Wardrobe
The wardrobe storage shows equipment skins. Unlocked skins can be applied through the wardrobe tab in the hero panel.
- Armor Skins (includes back item skins)
- Weapon Skins
- Outfits
[edit] Notes
- Items do not stack automatically when depositing to the top tab or withdrawing, this must be done manually.
- Additional storage may be accessed without using gems by creating a personal guild with a Guild Vault.
- Crafting first draws materials from your inventory, then your bank, then from collections last.

Roofing reviews in Santa Barbara
It doesn't matter to me if a company does a good job. if the owner treats his employees and customers this poorly, he's not getting my business.
Quick responce during downpour; stopped obvious leak from roof in the attic.
Returned a week later to do bigger job (above).
Returned a week later to do bigger job (above).
very good service and excellent communications from scheduling to informed choices and options and work in the field"
They did an excellent job. Repaired and painted all surfaces. Did the roof in a very timely manner. Very neat and courteous.
I would highly recommend them. They cleaned up every day when they were done. Very orderly.
I would highly recommend them. They cleaned up every day when they were done. Very orderly.
They all showed up on time each morning, completed a very hard days work and got the entire project completed in the time promised.
Being a single female homeowner, I was a bit nervous about getting my roofing/gutter project completed. I felt very comfortable with
I'd highly recommend them.
They did a wonderful job every day before they left they cleaned everything up. The house is large and tall so it took them a little more than a week to finish."
They looked at the roof, offered a realistic budget, gave us several options of roof shingles and explained the difference. Came the day they said they would and finished the job in three days as promised. The job was completed impeccably. They did not leave any trash behind.
Old roof was removed and new roof installed in a timely manner.
His roofers cleaned up after themselves as much as roofers can be expected to ( a little debris in attic, but that's to be expected; grounds were immaculate afterward).
It's been 5 years now and I couldn't be happier with our new roof - strong, beautiful, and no leaks or nails coming loose. What I liked was that
work inspected and filed my permit. My roof had a few challenges such as termite damage, weird slopes, etc. and his team still did a great job.
Love my new roof!

Mesa 7.8.3 Release Candidate 1 Is Here
Published on 15 September 2010 04:47 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
Mesa 7.9
is just around the corner with a great number of new features and other improvements to this open-source graphics stack used by Linux and other operating systems, those being bound to releases that are proven stable will still be leaving with Mesa 7.8 until Mesa 7.9.1 or 7.9.2 is released later in the year. But for those stable users, there's also Mesa 7.8.3 that will soon be released.
As is tradition for Mesa point releases, Mesa 7.8.3 releases just contain back-ports of bug-fixes and other work, but not any of the new features like the GLSL2 compiler, new OpenGL extensions, driver enhancements, Gallium3D improvements, or other core changes living in master for Mesa 7.9.
The first release candidate for Mesa 7.8.3 is now available for download, as
announced by Brian Paul
. The final release should be here in the coming weeks.

Shy: A Memoir, Sian Prior, Text, 2014.
OK, I admit I read this book to see what Sian Prior said about Paul Kelly and their break-up. For those who do not know, Paul Kelly is an Australian musician, a much loved and respected singer and songwriter. He writes fairly amazing songs about his life and what is going on around him, and most of them can be read as poems. He is hard-working and prolific and can still pull a good crowd, and at fifty-nine, it seems that he can still pull the ladies, too.
It was no real surprise to find that Sian Prior expresses a lot of rage in this book, all of it directed at Paul Kelly. After a lovely night out he told he that, after ten years together, he did not want to be in a relationship with her any more, that he wanted to be with other women. This revelation came out of the blue and hit her like a thunderbolt, although with hindsight she could see that the signs were all there, if only she had been paying attention. The situation was made worse by the fact that before they got together Kelly had a smack habit and she gave him an ultimatum: heroin or her. He chose her and said that he liked the person he was when he was with her and promised to be faithful. Sadly for her, it turned out that he had not been faithful, and when he told her he wanted to be free to do horizontal folk dancing with other ladies, she was devastated. Ten years of love and friendship and shared life down the gurgler.
Sian Prior is a journalist, writer, opera singer, musician, and a lot more besides. She is ENOUGH, but she never felt that way. Her father drowned when she was young, after saving two other people who got into trouble swimming in the ocean. Her mother sounds like a remarkable woman, and a good role model, but Prior was shy and awkward, and she never 'grew out of it' as some people do. Although she could go onstage and perform, speak to large crowds, and schmooze at celebrity parties, she felt anxious and unsure of herself.
I think most people are 'shy' to some degree; no one is brimming with confidence and self-belief 24/7. I did not learn anything new from this book about the cause of shyness, but I did learn all about Ms Prior's insecurities and it was all rather dreary. She wrote the memoir as part of her PhD in creative writing. Enough said, probably, given my dislike of that sort of writing. I really have no clue why anyone with such a high public profile would want to publish something so very personal. She is obviously extremely angry with Paul Kelly and the parts of the book about him feel like payback.
There were a few bits that made me think:
One day I heard a woman on the radio talking about social media and the 'virtual self'. She described how people use Facebook and Twitter, posting photos and updates, comments and gags, to 'display themselves' to the world. The presenter asked her if she thought we were all 'tinkering with what we've put online in order to project the image of ourselves that we want to project'. The social media expert told him we're all 'sculpting ourselves' using the medium of digital data, creating 'virtual doppelgangers' out there in cyberspace in order to 'craft Brand Me.'
I can relate to that. I think that when I was on Twitter I was trying out 'public selves', but it felt kind of empty, really. I am a private person in real life, so it was surprising to me that I blabbed so much about myself online for a while. I guess it was something I needed to try, but those selves werre not 'me'.
When Tom [she uses a pseudonym for Paul Kelly] was working away from home he used to write to me every night. A letter from London. A missive from Massachusetts. A poem from Paris. Words were our love tokens. They kept the connection. They counted for a lot… Did he sit down and write to me in between fucking different women? I guess there's no reason he should have kept it to one a night. If the offers were there, I mean. What's the difference between one or several other women? Writing to me might have been a nice little break. A palate cleanser.
Did he think of those other women as hamburgers, or as steak? Or as some other variety of meat?
Ouch. I wonder what Paul Kelly thought when he read that vicious serve of character assessment?
