(Amatsu Fūton: Tenrai Oozara) Empyrean Wind Release: Celestial Discoids
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage: 60
Description: After forming a single handseal, the user releases several concentrated medium-sized flat discs of empyrean wind from their mouth that can be directed toward any place the user wishes to attack the opponent from all sides. The discs will slice through any object in their path and almost seem as if the object was cut through but were actually ripped apart on a molecular as it paves through the object.
~Can only be used five times per battle.
~Declined~ How many exactly? And lets be real here, they can't slice through any object.
(Amatsu Fūton: Doragon Unari) Empyrean Wind Release: Dragon's Roar
Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage: 60
Description: After forming a single handseal, the user releases a massive blast of empyrean wind, slightly larger than Pressure Damage, that is shaped in the form of a dragon's head. The massive blast of empyrean wind will rage toward the target and cannot be satisfied until its hunger is quenched. This technique is so powerful that it has been said that it was used to pave an enormous tunnel straight through a large mountain in order to making traveling from one side to the other easier.
~Can only be used five times per battle.
~Approved~ I don't want to see any funny business with the background story of paving a tunnel through a large mountain.
(Amatsu Fūton: Muon Maru) Empyrean Wind Release: Soundless Circle
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 50
Damage: 90
Description: After clapping his hands together, the user creates a small, visible sphere of Empyrean wind. The sphere will be about the size of a football at its creation. Immediately after being created, a slightly bigger sphere of Empyrean wind is created around the original one, encasing it like a second layer of skin with no space between the two layers. More and more layers are subsequently added to the technique in quick succession afterwards. Small ripples in the immediate vicinity of every layer heralds their coming to the world. The ripples also appear right before the original sphere is born, warning vigilant enemies of its coming. All the layers are individual structures in their own right. Therefore; each sphere has its own center. All the midpoints, one for each layer, are placed around each other, forming their own circle with a small hollow space in the very center. The small hollow space will, as the technique swallows more and more mass, slowly be filled with extremely compressed matter, forming a kind of core. The extreme amount of compresison means, that while the core might not be very big, it's extremely heavy and unstable because of its forceful creation. When enough layers have been added and enough mass has been gathered, the user performs a single handseal, which causes all the layers to be compressed into countless microscopic spheres with each their center, encasing the core of mass, thereby forcefully ripping it apart. The second the core is ripped into countless pieces, the rings disperse, as to not gather all the microscopic shards at their center, but still letting them retain their velocity and lethality The extreme speed with which the core is destroyed sends countless of extremely heavy, microscopic projectiles flying in all directions, covering the entire area in a deadly rain of death. The user can control which sides of the core the microscopic rings gather at when he compresses them around the core of mass, to avoid killing himself with his own technique.
~Can only be used once.
~No Empyrean Wind technique for 4 turns after this technique has been used.
~The sheer concentration and chakra this technique requires severely tires the user and damages him for 20 points.
~No A-ranked or above wind techniques can be used the turn after this has been used.
~Declined~ How many layers can you exactly stack together? How long does this technique take to be fully finished? Microscopic projectiles? I don't think so. Lastly, 20 damage to the user? I'm expecting to see some real physical drawbacks from this technique on re-submission.

Stuxnet computer worm
A few months ago, a complex computer worm called Stuxnet was identified by IT security professionals. The virus is designed to exploit five different security weaknesses, making it stronger than most other computer worms. It has reportedly infected the personal computers of staff at Iran's first nuclear power station and it continues to spread and multiply.

The 2015 Pro Bowl is Fantasy Football For Real

It's the Unconferenced match-ups you thought only happened in your dreams. This is Pro Bowl: Fantasy Football For Real.

With his cornet-shaped silhouette, signature geometric prints (each layer of organza was individually printed) and decision to show in four modern-feeling 15 minute slots Jonathan Saunders' collection for Pollini was one of the star-attractions from Milan Fashion Week. Yesterday we caught up with the other British star behind the collection, Nicholas Kirkwood, to find out what went on behind the scenes and the inspiration behind his suede high-heeled loafers and patent shooboots. 'Jonathan wanted a look that was provocative, feminine, chic, and modern with a touch of eccentricity,' he told Grazia Daily exclusively. 'I wanted to reference Pollini's artisan history and therefore I didn't want to design shoes with a towering heel and platform. Jonathan and I felt it would be more fresh and luxe without them.' And it sure worked. From the rapturous reception Jonathan Saunder's Pollini collection received we think these Brits might be making it big in Milan for a few more seasons too. Check out the key looks - and the shoes - below.

No 8: Jagdlied
No 9: Abschied
On the whole it is the more bucolic aspect that Schumann explores, though these pieces are not without darker shadows. And while they may be technically fairly straightforward, their changeability calls for the quickest of reactions and a wealth of subtle nuance.
All seems well in the first number (Eintritt, 'Entry'), its gently murmuring theme welcoming us into the forest in the most benign manner possible. The energetic Jäger auf der Lauer ('Hunters on the lookout'), horn calls aplenty, gives the lie to the idea that Schumann—beset by personal demons by this point in his life—had lost his compositional way, and there's a delightful mock-seriosity to the throwaway ending. The mood switches again in the next two pieces, Einsame Blumen ('Lonely flowers') and Verrufene Stelle ('Place of evil fame'), tinged in turn by sadness and then a persistent unease that is only banished by the rollicking Freundliche Landschaft ('Friendly landscape'), which is followed by a study in consolation and reassurance, Herberge ('Shelter'). With No 7, the famous Vogel als Prophet ('Bird as prophet'), Schumann seems to reach almost proto-Impressionistic realms, its central chorale-like section lending it an almost sacred gravitas. We return to compositionally safer, more pastoral territory with Jagdlied ('Hunting song'), which presents an image of the play of horses' hooves and the jolly red coats of the hunstmen, a notably child-friendly vision. With Abschied ('Farewell'), the innocence of the opening seems to be regained as we bid the forest a poignant farewell.

Customer ReviewsWrite A Review
Very disappointed
I purchased this slipcover approximately 6 months ago. After two washes in cold water with line drying, the seat cushion had shrunk so badly that I could no longer get the couch cushion in it. I've been happy with all the other slipcovers I've purchased over the years, but would stay far, far away from this particular product.
I have had this cover for over 5 years with two large dogs and 3 kids always on it. The only negative thing I have to say is that the back of the couch cover is sunwashed where it has been against my south facing window. Otherwise, I would say it has lasted much longer than expected.
Love my cozy cottage look!
I was very hesitant to order any slipcovers for my aging sofa and loveseat. I wanted the cottage slipcovered look that many upscale companies like Pottery Barn and LL Bean have in their catalogs. But, I wouldn't even think of paying hundreds or thousands for them! Sure fit has a great product. With primping and pressing my FLAX colored covers are durable and look GREAT! They completely cover the dark striped sofas. It will always take some effort for covers to fit, but this was an easy fit around arms, and length provided a floor length look while not being skimpy anywhere else. Love them, ordered two more for our beach house...flax is a neutral beach loving look to coordinate with if that's what you like, I do! You will too.

Matthew Miller
Larry Seltzer
Best Argument: Yes
Audience Favored: Yes (61%)
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
Situations where it makes sense
Matthew Miller: I understand that Larry has some strong feelings about why there is no good reason to buy a Chromebook, but I believe there are indeed some situations where it makes sense to pick up a low cost Chromebook rather than a PC.
I bought my daughter a $249 Chromebook last year for Christmas and she uses it for school research, to check her grades and class assignments, to write papers, and to enjoy media via Hulu and Netflix. She calls it her computer and I have yet to perform any maintenance or troubleshooting in nearly a year.
As a daily 2 hour train commuter, I like to write while passing the time. With a Chromebook I am able to fly on the keyboard and crank out a stream of consciousness without being distracted by notifications, virus warnings, update requests, etc.
The special offers Google includes with a Chromebook purchase make a Chromebook nearly free for me. I enjoy their Google Drive offer and use GoGo in-flight service once or twice a month. These two offerings add up to about $269 so why not pick up a very capable writing machine for the cost you would pay for a couple services?
Chromebook? Why limit yourself so?
Larry Seltzer: As I argued earlier this month, there's nothing a Chromebook can do that a more general-purpose — probably Windows — laptop can't.
Buy a cheap Windows laptop and install Google Chrome: Instant Chromebook, plus it does a lot more. That's really the bulk of the argument.
Is a Chromebook simpler than a Windows laptop running Chrome, and is simplicity in this regard a virtue? This is only true if there are direct benefits from the simplicity. These perceived benefits must be balanced against clear and obvious advantages of a device that runs all Windows software. Incidentally, I'm not persuaded by these alleged benefits.
Many seem to think that they will save money by buying a Chromebook, and at the very low-end that may be true. Once you start going over $300 or so, the case is far less compelling, and there are Windows laptops available for under $300.
There is quite a bit you can do entirely in the Google ecosystem. If you're willing to limit yourself to these things then a
Chromebook can work for you. But why limit yourself?

Kathy Stewart, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - A local leader is changing his mind about the presence of officers in schools in the wake of the school shooting that killed 26 people last month in Newtown, Conn.
Prince William County Board of Supervisors Chairman Cory Stewart originally pushed to cut the number of police officers in county schools due to budget problems. He estimated the cuts could save around $500,000 in the new fiscal budget.
However, Stewart is now pushing to increase the number of school resource officers throughout the county.
"Originally, I had anticipated moving some of the school resource officers out of middle schools and back on patrol," says Stewart, who explains that the Connecticut school shooting changed his mind on the proposal.
Currently, all of the county's 11 high schools have their own resource officers. The county's middle schools share just a few officers.
Stewart now wishes for all middle schools to have SROs and to have rotating SROs in elementary schools.
"We can always do better," he says. "We are going to look at ways to improve school security, even if (it) means spending a little bit more money on that."
According to Stewart, the county is in the process of reviewing all school security procedures.

A nice knife set. With regular sharpening they work great. :)
I ordered two sets of these knives, one for myself, one as a Christmas gift. Other than one of the knives being bent on the tip, it's a great knife set and looks attractive setting on the counter.
I gave this knife set to my wife for Christmas. She says it is one of her most favorite gifts and is really happy with the performance of the knives. They look attractive also sitting on the kitchen shelf. Kitchen chores are so much easier and fun to do.
Not bad but not good. Probably would not buy again if I knew what I know now but they get the job done... things that were once whole a rendered into 2 or more pieces. Is that positive enough. Do yourself the favor and spend the money on a better set.
The knives are sharp and easy to handle. The steak knives are very nice, just the right size and have a great look.

*Tone, design and looks are great.
*Neck slightly more prone to warping than thicker (US standard) necks.
*Sunburst looks fantastic, much better than the brownish tone of most other jazzes.
*Price point is quite high, so be VERY sure to compare multiple basses before buying.

Via Larry Brown Sports:
LeBron James is already considered by many to be one of the greatest NBA players of all time. Should he win several more championships before his career ends, some would argue that LeBron is No. 1. Charles Barkley does not envision that happening.
In a recent interview with SI.com's Richard Deitsch, Barkley said he currently ranks LeBron just outside of his top-five NBA players of all time. And he suspects James will remain there.
"I have him there. But he can't get any higher than where he is," Barkley explained. "I have Michael [Jordan] at No. 1. Oscar [Robertson] at No. 2. Then Wilt [Chamberlain], Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar] and [Bill] Russell. I have Kobe [Bryant], LeBron, Tim Duncan, Jerry West and Elgin Baylor after that. Those are my top 10. Those second five fluctuate, but who do I take off my top five?"
Barkley then raised what he believes is a bigger issue — why people don't give Kobe Bryant and his five championship rings more respect.
"LeBron can get to No. 6 on my list, but here's the thing that bothers me about the whole LeBron debate: I want to know why y'all killed Kobe Bryant!" Barkley added. "Y'all don't even compare him to LeBron anymore. You are skipping him for LeBron and going right to Michael. I'm still going to take five [titles] over two. It makes me laugh with my friends — the media just kills Kobe Bryant. Like he's dead! Five still is a lot more than two!"
I agree. Jason Kidd named his all-time starting five a few months ago and left Kobe out. Karl Malone rattled his off and put Scottie Pippen in over Michael Jordan, and he included LeBron. Still, no Kobe.
If LeBron wins three more championships before retiring, I'm sure Barkley will change his mind. But for now, his argument makes perfect sense.
As far as the alcoholic, wife beating J Kid is concerned, he was probably drink when he made his list. Perhaps others have forgotten, but I remember very well when he beat his ex-wife. He puts on that, "I'm a team-player saint, when in fact, his history speaks differently. We all know he's a "smooth" talker...slithered his way to a head coach!
That fine Charles, I can understand looking back at your career and trying to find equalities with LeBron is very hard, damn near impossible. How many NBA rings do you have?
Let go of your bitterness and admit, like a Man, that LeBron has to be considered one of the best.
iguanajoe- ur comment is nonsense. How many rings Charles has is of no relevance. In fact, he's praising guys that have the rings! He's saying, right now, Kobe is ranked higher BECUZ OF HIS 5 RINGS! If Lebron gets more, I'm sure he'll move higher
Kobe, is where he is on the list because people do not like him. He is one of the greatest of all time, but how many people would like to hang out with him. Your personal life matters in how people rate you. Maybe it should not count, but LaBron is definately a more honest and cooler and down to earth guy, that most people like and relate to. By the way, I always thought Carl Malone was a nut. Him saying that Scottie Pippen is better than MIchael Jordon make me think I am right.
I think Michael and Scottie are having a beer together and laughing their ass off at Malone's comments.
Better yet he should ask his old teamate Mr. Russell what he thinks.
Barkley was good, but he was no Kobe or Lebron. I don't think he can offer an objective opinion because of this.
Charles has a solid list, however -- I am not sure I like his chances if we go head's up and pick two 5-man squads. If he picks first and skips Kareem to go with Jordan, I think he loses. Means I get Kareem and probably Wilt, he must pick big man, so I get Oscar or Magic or Kobe next. Point is, Kareem must be first pick to win I believe ...
Loud mouth Charles never won a damn thing, so his opinion is no better then mine or anyone else. I can see his picks as being on target except for the fact he does not have MAGIC JOHNSON on his list...SAY WHAT? Magic is the best player ever or if not the best in the top 3. Magic is a guard or a foeward or when Jabbar missed game six of the NBA Finals game rookie Magic Johnson played center. He scored 42 points dished 12 assists and rebounded like 15 boards. Point is Magic can play any position on the floor so he has to be top five. Another miss is Larry Bird. Bird kicked Barkley's butt every year so of course he's not on the team because of it.
How about Johnson at point, Jordan at 2 guard, Bird at one forward, Duncan at the other forward and Jabbar at center. Robertson, Wilt and Bernard King come off the bench. No Barkley, he's way down my list.
Chuckie "BJ" Barkly. The DUI with the hooker guy. The guy who spit at a fan heckling him during his playing days, only to miss the fan and hit a guy's girlfriend. Chuckie "BJ" - SHUT THE F UP! Lebbron has more skills with one arm tied behind his back, blind folded you fat AZ low life PUNK!!!!!!!!!!
Simply a case of "no room at the top".

BALTIMORE (AP) - Two people have been injured in a fire that broke out in a Baltimore home.
Firefighters were called to the home on Belleview Avenue around 6 a.m. Tuesday. Fire department spokesman Kevin Cartwright says two people suffered burns in the blaze. One person had more serious injuries. They were taken to a hospital for treatment.
When firefighters arrived, they found flames had extended throughout the three- story home. No firefighters were injured.
Cartwright says the fire was mostly out by 6:45 a.m., but firefighters were still extinguishing hot spots.
The cause of the blaze is under investigation.

Original Statue of St. Ignatius, the Pilgrim, founder of the Jesuits, at the Rose Hill campus. Each semester more than 600 Fordham undergraduates follow the Jesuit philosophy of homines pro aliis, men and women for others, by contributing their time and talent in service to the community.
"From the very beginnings, Jesuit education has been characterized by a number of different qualities:
We have a great emphasis on care for the individual student; We have a great desire to introduce excellence and rigor into the classroom and every subject we teach; Third, we believe that students have to be invited to wrestle with the great ethical issues of their time. We want them to be bothered by the realization that they don't know everything and bothered by injustice."
—Joseph M. McShane, S.J., President of Fordham University
Quotation taken from the David Hartman PBS program,
"A Walk Through the Bronx."
Watch the clip
At Fordham, you will experience the same Jesuit approach to education that has challenged some of the world's greatest thinkers for more than 400 years. Jesuit educated notables have included Descartes, Molière, Alfred Hitchcock, Sting, James Joyce, Dee Dee Myers, and Captain Kangaroo.
The approach begins with a deep respect for you as an individual and your potential, a principle the Jesuits call cura personalis. Because they respect you, our faculty will challenge you to strive for ever greater personal excellence in all aspects of life — intellectual, emotional, moral and physical. That principle, called magis, accounts for the rigor of intellectual exchange and the varied challenges you will experience in New York City and the world beyond.
At Fordham, students seek to tap the full potential of mind and heart while leading a life beyond self. Each semester more than 600 Fordham undergraduates follow the Jesuit philosophy of homines pro aliis, men and women for others, by contributing their time and talent in service to the community: tutoring the disadvantaged; feeding and clothing the homeless; planning outings for an orphanage; and spending vacation periods in distant corners of the world, from New Mexico to Calcutta, as part of Fordham's Global Outreach Program.
On both the undergraduate and the graduate level, a Fordham education embraces rigorous scholarship and adherence to ethical values. The School of Law, internationally known for emphasizing ethics, also has several active pro bono programs. Students in the Graduate School of Business Administration make time in their busy schedules to assist non-profit organizations with business planning. The Graduate Schools of Education and Social Service both incorporate field work in the New York City area into their curriculum. The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences emphasizes critical thinking and communication, and is dedicated to helping students understand themselves and their world so that they may lead satisfying lives and contribute to their professions and society at large. The Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education is committed to preparing students of all denominations to confront contemporary problems of church communities, while helping to chart future directions through research.
Excellence at Fordham plays out in many ways: Our Phi Beta Kappa chapter; the three Rhodes Scholars, all alumni, who serve on the Board of Trustees; distinguished faculty honors including the Guggenheim, Peabody, Marshall, and 1995 Presidential Faculty fellowships; the Matteo Ricci Society, that prepares academically gifted undergraduates to compete for Truman, Rhodes, Fulbright and other prestigious fellowships; and the Claver Award, given annually to a student for outstanding community service.
True to its time-honored Jesuit traditions, Fordham endeavors to make excellence the focus of life, and the world the "home of the heart," of every student.

For more information on the RSAFE program, click link below:
Posted October 8
Fact finders is digging deeper into a story from earlier this week-- where we detailed a program to help kids with sexual behavior problems. We built our coverage around a 10-year-old boy accused of sexually assaulting a dog. His case went to court on Wednesday.
"I haven't seen him since August 8," said the child's mother. "I haven't talked to him or a had a chance to communicate with him."
In juvenile court, she told the court she's in Alcoholics Anonymous -- sees a therapist and is going to school -- and asked for supervised visits with her son.
The judge denied the request saying he's waiting for a psychological exam of her son first.
In the past -- this court decision would often keep a young offender from treatment.
But because the RSafe program in Omaha is specially designed to fast-track treatment to those between the ages of 10-14 -- one of three in the country -- the young boy is already getting help.
The hearing did shine a light on the heavy workload facing juvenile court.
Referring to the missing reports, judge Vernon Daniels told the room full of lawyers and administrators: "Our calendar is a bottlenneck. Everyone has a responsibility to ride shotgun to make sure everything is supposed to be done."
In this case it wasn't. The delay won't affect the 10-year-old's treatment -- but it does keep his mother away. "He cries a lot with is sisters cause he wants to come home."
There was one major development in juvenile court -- the grandmother who was the guardian of the 10-year-old and his sisters doesn't want to do it anymore citing health concerns. The 68-year-old has suffered three strokes in two years. Her husband, who also helped care for the boy, died in the last year.
The judge was serious about the heavy caseloads. This case won't be back in court until the end of January 2013.
Fact Finders uncovered court documents as the jumping off part of this story. In August, a babysitter witnessed a 10-year-old boy upstairs sexually assaulting her standard black poodle.
The boy was immediately removed from the foster home.
Investigators worried what was next. There were three girls in the house. All younger than the 10 year old.
There is help for the child -- a special program -- that often starts by getting past a parent's disbelief.
"I feel they are messing up his life," said the child's mother. "They're piling up all this stuff on him."
Reporter: "Do you feel the baby sitter is lying?"
Mom: "I think she's lying. I think she's lying. I've never had a problem -- ever. This is the first time I've ever heard anything like it and when I did -- I was so shocked. He's been around his sisters. He's been around animals. He's never done anything like that."
We aren't identifying the 10-year-old's mother -- so as not to identify him.
Fact Finders has learned that he's now part of a groundbreaking treatment program in Omaha -- one of only three in the country.
RSAFE -- run by Lutheran Family Services -- has a new grant that fast-tracks those between the ages of 10-and-14.
"Research supports that most children who have acted out sexually will not act out sexually again if there's appropriate intervention," said Vickie Peyton, coordinator of RSAFE.
"In the 8-years that I've been here, we've probably investigated 4-or-5 bestiality cases involving juveniles," said Mark Langan with the Nebraska Humane Society. "Definitely sad cases. You wonder where the kids learned this behavior to begin with."
Investigators aren't saying with this 10-year-old, but add there's just so many ways to be exposed to this behavior.
It could be as simple as getting the idea from pornography.
"There's the misconception that children are just miniature adults and that their motivations are the same as an adult and we know that is just not true," said Peyton.
For a child, the acts are not about power or control as much as simply understanding what's not appropriate.
"For children, it's much more about the impulsive behavior," said Gene Klein with Project Harmony.
Of the 60 young people -- most of them boys -- who have gone through the program, none have re-offended.
And what is learned in the metro about treatment will be shared with the nation.
That's little comfort to his mother.
Mom: "My son is not like that."
In order to be most effective, according to the experts, families are a part of the treatment too.
The Douglas County Juvenile Court will still hear the case. After all, Juvenile Court is all about rehabilitation.
So did Omaha get the grant because we have a worse problem among young offenders? We're told the answer is no -- that RSAFE has an established reputation of successful treatment.

The 5-amp WORX JawSaw is an extremely safe alternative to standard chain saws thanks to its unique design, which features a jaw guard that protects the user and unintended objects from harm. An electric limbing and trimming chain saw that operates without gas, the JawSaw is ideal for clearing storm debris or getting through tough pruning jobs. The JawSaw's chain is enclosed by the jaw guard, keeping it safely away from the user and any unintended objects (like those healthy branches you didn't mean to cut). In addition to enclosing the chain for safety, the JawSaw's jaw design features solid steel teeth that hold on to the wood while you cut, providing extra stability. Even a first-time chain saw user will soon be confidently and efficiently pruning and chopping up branches with the JawSaw. Because the JawSaw is powered by electricity, it produces no emissions. And unlike gas-powered chain saws, the electric JawSaw doesn't require you to mix oil and gas or to deal with difficult startups. Plus, it features an automatic oiler that provides constant lubrication to both the bar and chain (as well as an indicator to monitor the oil level). It's also equipped with an auto-tensioning feature (an easy-to-use chain replacement and tensioning system) that sets the proper tension for the task at hand. One bolt on the JawSaw's body does it all! This system prevents over-tightening by automatically determining the proper tension when tightening. The JawSaw allows you to make cuts directly on the ground without fear of kickback or damage to the chain. You don't have to bend over or prop up wood to make cuts, you can just put the JawSaw on the wood and push down to extend the bar and make the cut.Product Features:

Beauty How-To: Get The Retro Nail Art Look With Our Tips From The Pros
GALLERY >> How To Get These 80's Inspired Nails
We were mega jealous of Jameela Jamil's [a target="_blank" href="/beauty/archive/2012/07/11/do-you-love-jameela-jamils-smiley-nail-art-as-much-as-us.htm">fun nail art [/a]on Monday, so we got Revlon's Chisato Yamamoto to show us how to do some simple nail art of our own! The 1980's inspired look that she gave us features the graphic powerful shapes of the era and was designed by their nail ambassador, Jenny Longworth. We chose to get it in orange, white and teal for a super retro feel, but mix up the colours for a more modern take. Click through our gallery to find out how to get the inspired look - it's much easier than you'd imagine!
Step 1: Clean, File, Buff
Chisato cleans the nail with a baby wipe to remove excess oils and help the nail polish to stick better. She files any rough edges and pushes back the cuticles. Finally she buffs the nails in a downward motion to create a smooth surface to work with
Step 2: Base Coat
Chisato applies a basecoat to smooth out ridges, strengthen nails and help the varnish stick for longer. She used Revlon Post Trauma Treatment.
Step 3: Apply Triangle Colour
We wanted the triangle section of all our nails (except our ring finger) to be white so Chisato painted each entire nail with two coats of Revlon White on White Nail Enamel.
Step 4: Apply Ring Finger Colour
Chisato painted the ring finger with two coats of a statement colour. We chose Revlon Siren Nail Enamel.
Step 5: Apply The Top Polish Layer
In order to get the triangle shape on our nails, Chisato started by painting a diagonal line of Revlon Fashionista Nail Enamel across the nail.
Squeeze your fingers together to stabilise your nail surface.
Step 5: Apply The Top Polish Layer
Chisato applied a second diagonal line of colour in the opposite direction....
Step 5: Apply The Top Polish Layer
... before painting two coats of polish in vertical strokes to fill in the nail and make the white triange appear!
Step 6: The Statement Nail!
Chisato starts to draw a curved line around the tip of the statement nail. She uses a fine brush to draw a diagonal line of Fashionista polish from the side of the nail to the central tip..
Step 6: The Statement Nail!
...before doing the same on the other side so that the lines join up!
Step 6: The Statement Nail!
Chisato then draws a thin line of White on White from the bottom left hand side of to the central tip. She uses a fine brush to do so.
Step 7: Tidying Up
Chisato uses a paintbrush dipped in nail varnish remover to clean up any nail polish around the nail.
Step 8: Top Coat
She adds a layer of top coat to protect the design and the look is finished!
All posts must obey the house rules, if you object to any comments please let us know and we'll take the appropriate action.

If you were hard capped and still getting parried then i'm guessing it's some type of mob with increased parry chance but the haste removed to prevent unfortunate insta deaths. Either that or it's gaining some buff/ability to increase it's parry chance.
However, gib or no gib, expertise will still give you threat up to hard cap. I think you mean the damage reduction advantage of going for expertise.

The 2009 exhibition The independent type: books & writing in Victoria celebrated Melbourne's status as a UNESCO City of Literature.
The exhibition focused on Victoria's rich and diverse written culture, highlighting the stories, the voices and the spirit of independence that have made our literature unique.
Listen to the audio tour of the exhibition, narrated by Ramona Koval, host of ABC Radio National's The book show.
'Indigenous storytelling': Hear a unique insight into a contemporary possum skin cloak made by Vicki Couzens, a Gunditjmara woman from the Keerray Wurrong language group of Western Victoria, and discover meanings behind its use and markings.
'Birth of a Library': Redmond Barry's commitment to the development of the Library and its collection was all encompassing. Hear how Barry devoted a great deal of thought and care to the cataloguing and arrangement of the Library's collection in the new colony.
'Pseudonyms': Discover the real identities behind some of Victoria's famous writers. Pseudonyms were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries among Australian writers, and were often used to conceal gender and unwanted celebrity.
'Joseph Furphy & his champion': Hear how Melbourne school teacher Kate Baker campaigned for public recognition of author Joseph Furphy and his classic Australian novel Such is Life, and how this tireless advocacy was recognised by the literary community.
'Henry Handel Richardson': Discover more about the writer who became Australia's greatest writer of the early 20th century. She published books across four decades, including such classics as The getting of wisdom and The fortunes of Richard Mahony.
'Geoffrey Blainey': Learn about the Australian historian Geoffrey Blainey and how his writing, though respected, has also been controversial and provoked debate. By choosing to write for the public and not academia, Blainey has taken a creative approach to the writing of history.
'Portraying writers': Listen to the story behind Rick Amor's portrait of writer Alex Miller. The illustration appeared in an issue of literary magazine Overland and reveals the connections between literary and artistic worlds.

'Performance poetry': Find out what happens when you take poetry out of the universities and onto the stage. From the late 1970s performance poetry began to breathe new life into the poetry scene, and the results are often political, experimental and unpredictable.
'Meanjin': Learn about literary magazine Meanjin and its founder Clem Christensen, whose creative principles produced a journal of ideas that encouraged free expression and intelligent criticism. Meanjin, along with Overland and the Australian book review, is one of Australia's most important literary magazines.
'Overland': Find out the history behind Overland and its chief steward Stephan Murray-Smith, who aimed to develop writing talent in people of diverse backgrounds and sustain Melbourne as a hub of literary publishing.
'Independent booksellers': Discover how Victoria has made itself Australia's home of independent booksellers. Unlike many places in the world where large chain stores rule, independent and secondhand bookshops remain vital to Melbourne's literary culture.

Wrynn>T4 legs, even with bonuses.
T4 legs suck for a tank. I wore my Timewardens Leggings, despite having the t4 legs, in most situations until Wrynn finally dropped.
Hello everybody. I am new to this forum btw
Anywho, I've been struggling with quite a dilemma at the moment. See, I have both T4 legs and Wrynn legs from karazhan.
Wrynn have the 40 stamina LW patch and 3 solid stars, and the T4 pants are on their way to get a 40stam patch too.
Now, I've been thinking, my current HP sits at 14100 (roughly) unbuffed, as you can see from the armory. I would get some nice extra avoidance (even thought I already have a decent number) from T4 legs, but would have to sacrifice a significant HP ammount. Quite simply, is it worth it? How do these two items compare?
One other thing I might add is that if I take the T4 pants I will also benefit from #2 set bonus.
Here's my armory profile to check me stats and such:
I would love some interesting feedbacks.
Thank you in advance,
Wrynn>T4 legs, even with bonuses.
T4 legs suck for a tank. I wore my Timewardens Leggings, despite having the t4 legs, in most situations until Wrynn finally dropped.
yep, t4 legs are t3h suck =(
If you've got Wrynn's, I'd probably save a little cash and put 30 stam/10 agi on them. I use them as an avoidance/threat piece (almost exclusively for trash-tanking). The extra str/agi is a little extra threat, and the set bonuses are decent (especially since the 4-piece is supposedly fixed as of 2.2 to work with Shield Slam).
How come something that drops off Gruul is barely as good as something that drops off Curator?
Another issue I was considering, is that if I keep wrynn's, then I'll never get to the #4 bonus since I'm keeping the Tankatronic goggles which are overall, imo, better for tanking.
PS. Tankpoints does say T4 is worth more points. Is that irrelevant?
Last edited by Jibou; 10-02-2007 at 02:47 PM.
tank points doesn't include gems.
3 +12 stam gems put you at way more stamina off of curator than t4.
I plan to continue using my Wyrnn leggings and let all the other druids, priests and warriors roll for the token. Shows that you are not loot-hungry and carefully consider your items
I say, go for t4 leggings. I just recently won them and my old pants was wrynn graeves. I do miss 300 hp now, but i have gotten more dodge and more defense. And since defense increases allmost every tank aspect, i think the 300 hp could be overlooked. I have now 13.8k hp with wrynn 14.1k.
Go for the Wrynn legguards (had them until I got T5 ones, and I still use them when I need more stamina).
Same thing for the gloves : get Maiden's over T4.
Wrynn/Timewarden's until T5 legs. T4 legs should have sockets in place of most of the strength and agility, to let you choose what to do. As they stand, they are subpar.
Agreed. The defense and dodge of the T4 legs make them inferior.
Since Curator won't drop his legs, I"m gonna start farming badges, 75 badge legs here I come! ;D
I prefer the T4 gloves over the Maiden gloves and still use the T4 shoulders, which means I get the bonus. I will be going after the 2.3 gloves though and hope to get the T5 shoulders soon.
Why is a Curator drop better than tier 4? Because blizzard has different ideas about itemization than the peeps that go out and test these theories every time they log in.
I wear tier 4 gloves because Maiden is a stingy ho, no other reason.
A little avoidance is a good thing. Absolute gearing for EH, wheeling out a statue to stand in front of the boss is not the best policy, IMO, but in the case of these two items, Wrynn and Iron Maiden are superior to thier tier 4 counterparts. I go with Moroes watch over a 45 stam Netherwing trinket.
Now...if you have the means to amass a metric crapton of badges in the next month or so, this conversation becomes pointless, heh.
I have passed on tier 4 legs many times over and amasses a pile of DKP. We do not use a "gear up the tank" policy and I have to bid like everyone else. So the fact that Wrynn are much better makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, allowing me to have my pick of whatever drops and I am looking at the ring off Tidewalker as my next raid drop upgrade, a boss we haven't attempted yet.
Even if you do operate under a gear the tank policy, it makes it easier for the raid to accept when you are able to pass items you have worked hard to be prepared without.
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
Get both? It's nice to have an avoidance set and a EH set.
IMO they are pretty close. If you are in desperate need of EH improvements then go Wyrnns. If you are happy with your EH for where you are tanking then grab the T4 and see if you can pick up a set bonus.
I am using T4 legs still only because they dropped for me before I got Wrynns (after 13 runs of curator) and I am too stingy to blow the cash to get them gemmed up when the T4 legs seem to be doing just fine.
Actually, it might be as simple as "whatever drops first"

Mortuus est Philippus Rex
CDH55248 Helios (Hyperion's budget label)
Movement 1: Kyrie
Movement 2: Gloria
Movement 3: Credo
Movement 4: Sanctus
Movement 5: Benedictus
Movement 6: Agnus Dei
Bartolomé de Escobedo, a native of Zamora, spent two long periods as a singer in the Papal choir of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. He and Cristóbal de Morales would have known each other well; Escobedo joined the choir in 1536, the year after Morales. With one extended leave of absence, he remained in Rome until 1554. He is mentioned several times in the diaries of the Cappella Sistina, sometimes for bad-tempered behaviour. When he retired to Spain he maintained contact with the Sistine choir and advised on recruitment. The great theorist Salinas, university professor and cathedral maestro at Salamanca, was a friend and called Escobedo 'an extremely learned musician'.
Escobedo held a benefice at Segovia and may have wished to supplement his retirement with additional beneficial rewards. This could have been a motive for paying honour to the new king with a splendid Mass, replete with symbols of homage and learned devices. The 'Philippus' Mass is written for six voices in a strong contrapuntal style rooted in the recent Franco-Flemish traditions of the Papal chapel. It owes much to the generation of Josquin Desprez and successors like Morales, a senior colleague of Escobedo.
The structure of the work shows that Escobedo was thoroughly familiar with Josquin's famous Missa Hercules Dux Ferrariae. The syllables for Escobedo's musical motto theme (soggetto cavato) are Mi Mi Ut Re Mi Fa Mi Re of the hexachord (modal scale) representing Philippus Rex Hispanie.
This is the cantus firmus that runs throughout the Mass in various tempos, its note values sometimes at odds with the prevailing time signature of the other voices, usually slower than their busy movement, occasionally matching them. Finally, in the Agnus Dei it is slowed down to become a series of internal pedal points round which the five free voices run up and down like tendrils and foliage of plants around a great pillar. Here the debt to Josquin is most apparent. The 'Philippus' theme is also subjected to presentations at different pitches, usually buried deep in the musical fabric. But there are notable moments when it emerges to dominate and to be heard above all else. This happens at 'Et incarnatus est …' when it is presented eight times in the top voice of a quartet.
Escobedo's music for this act of homage is vigorous and, at times, impressively grand. It has its awkward moments and Palestrina, no doubt, would have winced at some infelicities. It has character and rhythmic drive; it certainly sheds new light upon the generation of Morales and Spanish music before Guerrero, who was surely the most 'hispanic' of all.

The ball rockets off the face and there are days when I've hit my driver, then this club just to find out distance difference. Been as close to 15 yards behind my driver with this hybrid. I love the look (I prefer the "iron on steroids" look of these vs. typical hybrid styles). I use this from off the green as a putter quite nicely. I can hook it low and out of trouble when needed. All purpose, dependable club from Ping. Highly recommended for all handicaps.

Are you hoping to hold your own little bundle of joy soon?
Trying to get pregnant can be a lot of fun, but for many couples it
can be frustrating too.
Fertility is the result of many factors coming together at one time. Knowing the basics can help you make changes that could increase your chances of
During ovulation, an egg is released into the fallopian tube. Sperm must come in contact with the egg within 24-48 hours for pregnancy to take place. If the egg is not
fertilized, menstruation will usually occur in about two weeks. Tracking your menstrual cycle will help you determine your best chance for pregnancy.
A woman's menstrual cycle starts from the first day of her
period to the first day of her next period. It is usually 23-35 days long. Although ovulation can be irregular, it typically
occurs 12-16 days before the start of your next menstrual
period. For example, in a 28-day cycle, ovulation often occurs on the 14th day.
Because ovulations may be irregular a calendar tracking may not work for you. The following methods can also help you determine when you are
Right after ovulation, many women have an increase in basal (early morning) body
temperature. It may increase about 0.5°F-1.6°F [degrees Fahrenheit]. By taking and
recording your temperature every morning before rising, you should
note a pattern over the next few cycles. Plan to have intercourse
during the two or three days before your temperature normally
rises. The downside of this method is that you must be vigilant in
taking and recording your temperature every day for several
Keep in mind that drinking or smoking and poor sleep patterns can have an effect on your basal body temperature.
You may be able to determine ovulation by observing changes in
your body. One change is that your cervical mucus becomes clear,
slippery, stretchy, and similar to raw egg whites on the days before ovulation. This mucus helps
to increase the movement of the sperm through your uterus to the
fallopian tubes where it meets the egg.
Some women also experience
discomfort, achiness, or twinges of pain in the lower abdomen during
ovulation. The discomfort may last
for a few minutes or several hours.
Easy-to-use kits for determining ovulation are available in many
stores. They involve urinating on test strips which change color
when you are ovulating. The changes are caused by hormones specific to ovulation. Accuracy varies depending on the product, so try different ones to see which one is more accurate for your.
Understanding ovulation is just one factor in pregnancy. If you are trying to get pregnant, keep these factors in mind:
Remember that even if conceiving your previous child was easy, it
does not mean that future pregnancies will be easy to
achieve. Knowing your how your body responds to hormonal changes can increase the chances putting you on the road to a healthy pregnancy. Talk to your healthcare provider if you are planning on becoming pregnant.
