An identifier is a unique expression in a written format either by a code, by numbers or by the combination of both to distinguish variations from one to another among a class of substances, items, or objects. For living organisms and the structural identifications of objects, identifiers could be more complicated. In computer science, Identifiers (IDs) are lexical tokens that name entities. The concept is analogous to that of a "name." Identifiers are used extensively in virtually all information processing systems. Naming entities makes it possible to refer to them, which is essential for any kind of symbolic processing. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Identifier)

A Thread of Ariadnes |
One of my previous lecturers jokingly said that once you had a title, logo and an acronym for your project, 80% of the work was done. Except I'm not so sure she was joking, now. Ariadne took (relatively) little time to be decided on as a title, but as it turned out, many other projects around the world, and one in particular in the UK, shared this greek mythological name. This has caused problems; for example, lists of digital libraries/training projects occasionally get us mixed up with the Ariadne project at Lancaster. Dr. David Nichols from this Lancaster project gives a brief run-down of other projects that have taken the name Ariadne. |

Shield status of team mates?
I can see the shield and hull status of the first person on a team with me. The other four people I can only see their hull status. The ring where there shield status should be is dark.
Is that a bug? If not, how do I enable it so I can see the shield status of my teammates? I am science and would like to assist with repairing their shields.

Why Best Buy Is Plunging
Updated from 9:23 am EST with a stock recommendation from Jim Cramer as well as Best Buy's most recent stock price.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- This year's holiday season, characterized as one of the most intense regarding promotional activity aimed at getting consumers in the door, didn't work out so well for Best Buy
(BBY - Get Report).
Best Buy's stock plunged more than 30% after the electronics retailer disclosed comparable store sales for the fourth quarter so far declined 0.8%. Analysts were expecting a rise of 2%.
For the nine weeks ending Jan. 4, Best Buy's revenue totaled $11.45 billion, down 2.5% from the same period last year. Domestic revenue declined 1.5% to $9.75 billion over the prior year.
Comparable store sales declined 0.8% during the quarter. Within its domestic stores, comps dropped 0.9%, reflecting a highly promotional and competitive environment, the company said.
"The message behind today's announcement is very clear to me," Best Buy Founder and Chairman Emeritus Richard Schulze said in a separate statement. "Best Buy is on this journey and in this business to win, acquire, and retain new and existing customers. I have complete faith in the long-term strategy and I am confident that management is taking the steps required to win and position the company for a successful future."
Shares were most recently dropping 27.6% to $27.20 on massive volume of more than 59 million shares traded on Thursday.However, TheStreet's Jim Cramer says if you see a stock down as much as Best Buy, wait for the second day of trading before making a decision to buy.
A bright spot was Best Buy's online sales, rose 23.5% to $1.32 billion over last year. However, the company said that merchandise growth in computing, appliances and gaming segments were "more than offset by declines in other categories, including digital imaging, movies and MP3 players." Holiday revenue was hurt by a number of factors, including "the aggressive promotional activity in the retail industry during the holiday period, which we believe did not result in higher industry demand and had a deflationary impact on our revenue, "as well as supply constraints for key products. Joly also blamed "significant store traffic declines" during the week before Christmas as well as "a disappointing mobile phone market," according to Hubert Joly, Best Buy's president and CEO. "When we entered the holiday season, we said that price competitiveness was table stakes and an intensely promotional holiday season is what unfolded," Joly said. "In both channels, the promotional intensity that began with Black Friday continued throughout the period, which led us and our competitors to answer one question - do we make the incremental investment necessary to be price competitive and defend our market share? For us, there was only one answer. To advance our Renew Blue transformation, it was imperative that we live up to our customer promises - and one of these promises is to offer our customers competitive prices. This investment in pricing did come with a higher-than-expected cost." As a result Best Buy is lowering fourth-quarter non-GAAP operating margin (as a percentage of revenue) by 175 to 185 basis points, compared to last year's rate of 5.7% in the equivalent period. Best Buy reported an operating loss of $145 million in the year-earlier quarter. Analysts, according to Thomson Reuters, expect the company to report earnings of $1.62 a share for the January-ending quarter. Joly said key priorities going into the company's fiscal 2015 will be to "more quickly and more deeply" lower its cost structure; grow the online channel at an "accelerated pace;" continue to improve and innovate the multi-channel customer experience; enhance its marketing, particularly relating to personalization, targeting of customer segments and buying occasions; and reinvigorate and expand its Geek Squad services business. -- Written by Laurie Kulikowski in New York.

SportFerdinand representative blasts Roy Hodgson While Rio Ferdinand continues to be ignored by Hodgson, fortunes of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain couldn't be more different. 04 Jun 2012 13:59 GMT | Sport, Football, Belgium, France, Germany Roy Hodgson's attempts to steady the England ship have already hit troubled waters [GALLO/GETTY]England manager Roy Hodgson has shown a lack of respect to defender Rio Ferdinand by not calling him up for Euro 2012 following an injury to Gary Cahill, the Manchester United player's representative has said. "It's a lack of respect. He wants to play," Ferdinand's representative Jamie Moralee told BBC Sport after Hodgson brought Liverpool's Martin Kelly into the squad. "Rio's very disappointed. He thought he had done enough. It's very difficult to accept. This is a player with 81 caps for his country. I don't know anyone who understands it. It's not been handled in the right way." "This is a player with 81 caps for his country. I don't know anyone who understands it. It's not been handled in the right way" Ferdinand's representative Jamie Moralee Chelsea centre back Cahill was ruled out of the tournament, which starts on Friday, with his jaw fractured in two places after colliding with team mate and goalkeeper Joe Hart during England's friendly against Belgium at the weekend. Kelly, who made his international debut as a substitute in last month's friendly against Norway, was on the standby list. Former England captain Ferdinand won his last cap against Switzerland in June 2011 but has had injury problems since.When announcing his initial squad last month, Hodgson said it was a "footballing decision" to leave the 33-year-old out despite media reports that Ferdinand and fellow England international John Terry had fallen out. Defender Terry, who is in the squad, will go on trial on July 9 charged with racially abusing Ferdinand's brother Anton, a Queens Park Rangers player. Terry has pleaded not guilty. England begin their Euro campaign against France in Donetsk on June 11 before facing Sweden and tournament co-hosts Ukraine in Group D. From Dagenham to Donetsk But away from the negative headlines, one positive story to come out of Euro 2012 is that of Arsenal youngster Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The England winger watched the last World Cup in a pub with his friends, but just two years later he is set to cap his meteoric rise by stealing the spotlight at the tournament. The 18-year-old underlined his credentials as one of the brightest young stars in English football with a lively first international start in Saturday's 1-0 friendly win over Belgium at Wembley. The Arsenal teenager showed enough glimpses of his blistering pace and clever footwork to give Hodgson a tough decision over who starts on the left flank in his side's Euro opener against France on June 11. Back in 2010, he watched his country's World Cup campaign from a Southsea pub with hopes of one day playing for England occasionally drifting into his head. Oxlade-Chamberlain showed no fear against the likes of Eden Hazard at Wembley [Reuters] Those dreams have come true much quicker than Oxlade-Chamberlain could ever have expected and he can't wait to get his first taste of the kind of tournament he has only ever seen on a TV screen. "I went home to see my friends the other day in Southsea and we drove past the pub where we watched the England-Germany game and Frank Lampard scored the goal that got disallowed," Oxlade-Chamberlain said. "I was sat with my best friend and he said it was unbelievable that a couple of years ago we were in there watching it and in the next major tournament I'm out there with all the boys. "It sort of puts things into perspective for you and it has been an amazing journey. But it's just the start for me and I can't get carried away." At the time he was watching the World Cup on TV, Oxlade-Chamberlain was just emerging from the youth academy at League One club Southampton. He spent the following season playing a cameo role in Southampton's promotion, an experience that saw him playing at unglamourous venues like Dagenham, Yeovil and Hartlepool. "I think the way to describe the last 12 months is that it has been a bit of a whirlwind," Oxlade-Chamberlain said. "I can remember playing for Southampton last year at Dagenham on a cold Tuesday night. "I'm grateful for those experiences because, when you come from that and working hard in those environments, it makes you strive to come and play at places like this and play for your country. "It has been a mad 12 months and I've enjoyed every minute of it and it has gone so quickly."Source: Agencies

Missouri has a new park: "Current River State Park"Posted Tuesday, May 13, 2008, at 2:42 PM
Gov. Matt Blunt announced today that Missouri's newest state park will be called Current River State Park. The name isn't very original, but it's easier to remember than the previous name, Alton Club/Jerry J. Presley Conservation Education Center.
The park is located northwest of Eminence in Shannon County, not far from Highway 19 and Round Spring. (See Google map and directions from Cape Girardeau) According to the Missouri State Parks website, "The Alton Club was constructed in the late 1930s and early 1940s as a corporate retreat for the Alton Box Board Co., a manufacturing company located in Alton, Illinois." Many of the remaining buildings and structures were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Until last year, the site was owned by the Missouri Department of Conservation as part of the sprawling Sunklands Conservation Area. The land was transferred to the Department of Natural Resources with an eye to developing the complex into a state park. An open house is planned for this summer. The new park should be mostly completed and open to the public in 2010. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] |

In Reply to: How do I cook artichokes? posted by Audrey on February 22, 2004 at 4:15 pm:
I just got some from Costco too. We eat them all the time, whenever they are here. I wash them well, making sure I get as much of the sand and silt blasted out of them. Then I just put them in the stainless steel steamer basket in the pc and cook them for about 10 minutes. We eat them very simply by hand, and then after eating all the leaves eat the heart. I suppose that one could put some garlic in the leaves, either whole cloves or granules, but I have always just kept it simple. We never tire of 'chokes.

This is a cheaply made plastic tool, however, it works as advertised. The low price of the tool and the extra time and effort spent adjusting the mower deck were worth it. Properly leveling my deck with the help of this tool resulted in a marked improvement in the quality of lawn mowing.

Good price and fast shipping. Found my deck off by 1 inch on one side. Made a marked improvement on the grass cut.
Reviewed by: Frank from NY on 5/12/2014
So I noticed my lawns weren't showing as well as they had been in the past. As a matter of fact I had stopped getting compliments and on the spot referrals. I purchased the leveling gauge and after an hour or so in the garage I had my mowing deck set to factory specs. In the past I had been using a tape measure to level my decks; it was such a pain I basically stopped leveling my mowing deck all together. It took all of five minutes to figure out how to use the level gauge and like I said an hour later and my mower decks were cutting perfectly!!! This tool is so easy to use and made such a difference my lawns are back to looking their best.

Buchanan School District Bond Measure (February 2012)
This measure was defeated
This measure sought to issue a bond in the amount of $19.5 million in order to pay for addition, remodeling, equipping, updating technology and security as well as renovating playgrounds and athletic fields in the district.[2] If approved, on average, homeowners would have paid an additional $5.71 per $100,000 of assessed property value in taxes to pay for the bond. School officials had obtained community feedback before proposing this bond, hoping that with resident's input the bond would have had a better chance to meet proposed needs and be approved.[3]
The Buchanan City Commission had given its support behind this measure noting that the schools are in need of renovations and repairs which can only help students.[4]

New York Treated to a Karl Lagerfeld Appearance at Chanel's Soho Store Re-Opening Last Night
New York Treated to a Karl Lagerfeld Appearance at Chanel's Soho Store Re-Opening Last Night
>> Baptiste Giabiconi was rumored to make his singing debut at the Chanel Soho store party in New York last night — Karl Lagerfeld is reportedly pushing him to be a pop star — but apparently he got cold feet. Instead, guests were treated to the redone store, cordoned off from the public by a LED display wall playing Chanel videos and brimming with editors (Sally Singer, Robbie Myers, Cecilia Dean, Amy Astley); models (Heidi Mount, Jessica Stam, Magdalena Frackowiak, Anja Rubik, Freja Beha Erichsen, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Erin Wasson, Shalom Harlow, Crystal Renn); and Chanel favorites like Poppy Delevigne, Caroline Sieber, Diane Kruger, Liv Tyler, Courtney Love, and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Alexa Chung, who was DJing the party, asked last night if she could buy the new Chanel Les Khakis nail polish (which came out today), but she was told she had to wait until this morning to pick it up. And before Lagerfeld arrived, publicists scraped graffiti stickers, posters, and fliers off the scaffolding by the red carpet. They even had box cutters to scrape off tape and remnants. But that wasn't the only prep done in anticipation of Lagerfeld's arrival: The Daily reports from sources working in the building that houses the Soho boutique that Lagerfeld also demanded his own private bathroom to use during the party, and thus, one was built.
Waiters stood by holding trays of Chanel-logoed spray paint cans which could be used to tag a LED wall near the store's entrance, and the gift bag held a silk scarf printed with a polar bear among camellias. Lagerfeld also took the opportunity to show off his new discovery, 19-year-old French singer Izia, who took the stage at the party (thus intimidating Giabiconi).

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3— If you hear the name Gainsborough and your first and last thought is ''Blue Boy,'' you might think again. This most fluent of 18th-century British painters was hardly a one-shot phenomenon. He produced hundreds upon hundreds of portraits, many of a visionary, fantastical chic, along with landscapes, genre scenes and drawings galore.
He was, in fact, an art machine, and famous for being fast: he could (it was said) knock out a polished likeness in just over an hour. And avoiding the practice of hiring assistants to paint in fabrics and clouds, he did every stroke of the work himself. You might consider your Gainsborough portrait half-cooked (his professional hallmark was the unfinished look), but at least it was Gainsborough all the way.
When he is at his best -- and bad Gainsborough is meretricious and banal -- the results are as organic in conception as a quick sketch, and have the personable flair of a signature. With this formula, he helped to invent the image in art of a new social and intellectual English elite, and he paved the way for Romanticism.
The artist looks fully on form and surprisingly adventurous in ''Thomas Gainsborough, 1727-1788,'' which opens on Sunday at the National Gallery of Art here. He also looks incomplete in this edited version of a show that comes from Tate Britain. Some important paintings have not made the trip, among them ''Mr. and Mrs. Andrews,'' the artist's first really brilliant success in society portraiture. Nor is ''Jonathan Buttal: The Blue Boy'' here, but it wasn't in London, either. The picture belongs to the Huntington Library in California and, worth many times its weight in tourist gold, never leaves home.
That's all right; Washington has wonderful things: a sterling selection of more than 100 paintings and drawings spanning the artist's career. They have been laid out roughly by date and genre: a room of landscapes, a room of portraits, an interlude of drawings, with the order repeated. This segregation by genre corresponds to the way Gainsborough's art was initially received: his portraits were in clamorous demand; his landscapes, which he cared passionately about, were ignored. But the arrangement is still artificial. Gainsborough painted everything at once; simultaneity is one of the things that makes him complicated and interesting as a man and an artist.
It is true that he doesn't look complicated in the adolescent self-portrait that opens the show. The precocious son of a provincial cloth merchant, he was probably around 13 at the time that it was done and had just arrived in London to study art. In the painting, which is the size of a shop sign, he presents himself to the world, palette and brush in hand, ready for business, looking out with a coolly amused and appraising squint. He will wear precisely the same expression in another self-portrait, his last, 40 years later.
In London he was lucky to end up in the orbit of William Hogarth, an iconoclastic painter who viewed contemporary English art as a case of arrested development, with moribund artists mooning over passé Continental models. Brash and zesty by temperament, Hogarth took street-level English life as his subject and presented it in a style of acrid, moralizing realism. Although his influence on Gainsborough is hard to pinpoint directly, the younger artist learned a lot from him. He also learned, to his discomfort, from his peer and rival Joshua Reynolds. Reynolds also proposed a revivified English art, but of a deeply conservative kind, one of alabaster elegance with roots in the Classical world. A born pedagogue and promoter, he was a font of aesthetic pronouncements -- dos-and-don'ts, cans-and can'ts, this-is-better-than-thats -- which the English public and the art market alike lapped up.
Gainsborough, who had scant interest in theory and preferred actors to artists for company, cleared a place for himself between these reformist poles, at first by splicing them together. A self-portrait with his wife and daughter from the 1740's is as candidly realistic as a family snapshot: the props practically shout ''genteel aspirations''; the poses hint at marital chills and resentments. At the same time, the figures have been placed -- cut-out and collaged, it seems -- in a fuzzy, Classicizing landscape, an all-purpose Arcadia that comes from some other art altogether.
After this point in his career, something happened -- among other things, he started to look hard at Van Dyck -- and his art moved into another realm. This happens literally at the National Gallery when you leave a small, dark-walled room of early paintings and enter a bright salon of full-length portraits. It's a memorable transition. Suddenly you're out of country house parlors and in a kind of Versailles of fashion lined with impossibly tall, otherworldly figures who embody a freshly minted social ideal.
Among these creatures are Edward, Viscount Ligonier, and his wife, Penelope, depicted in matching portraits: he in scarlet military gear and accompanied by a sage-looking horse; she with colossal hair and coal-black, simmering eyes. By the time these pictures were exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1771, Lady Ligonier had chucked her husband for an Italian count. But Gainsborough had already picked up on her amorous restlessness: the figurine of a dancing bacchante he places beside her in the painting subtly echoes her pose.

Beautiful hair and eyes. What inspired the title "fireflies"?
bwee. the coloring on this picture amases me! do you use photo shop? I must go now.. before my self esteem drops to low to color anything >.<
The look on her face is beatiful! I always had a soft spot for white hair.
Wonderful work, this is absolutely amazing.
COOL! I wonder if I can find a picture of Onie? Maybe..
Somehow she looks like those Final Fantasy -serie female "main characters", Tika for example (in a good way that is) - yet there's something I find hard to describe - could it be .. some elflike feature, gah .. I give up, that look in her eyes is just too calm for me - like she had just asked me a question "how do I look". *luv her*
*chuckles* careful. you can get lost in those eyes!
This is exellent work!!
It's beautiful! She looks almost exactly like my rp charator on neopets!

Syria crisis: UN report condemns crackdown on protests
Syrian troops trying to quash three months of protests are committing "alleged breaches of the most fundamental rights", says a UN report.
The use of live ammunition against mostly unarmed civilians has killed around 1,100 people, says the report.
It also documents arrests on a massive scale. Investigators believe as many as 10,000 people have been detained.
Investigators used evidence from rights groups and people who had fled Syria, but were denied entry to the country.
President Bashar al-Assad is facing the gravest threat to his family's 40-year ruling dynasty, as unrest that first erupted in the south of the country has now engulfed the north - near the border with Turkey - and is threatening to spread eastwards towards its border with Iraq.
As anti-regime demonstrations continued in many parts of the country, the government on Wednesday mobilised its own demonstration of popular support as thousands of people turned out in a Damascus suburb to wave a giant Syrian flag 2.4 km (1.4 miles) long.
Laying siege to townsUN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has repeatedly appealed to Syria to let in a humanitarian team make a proper assessment, but the Syrian authorities have refused.
The people of Maarat al-Numan fear they may be next for the attention of the Syrian army's troops and tanks, which have been gathering on the town's outskirts for the past few days. According to residents and activists, many of the town's 100,000-strong population have been fleeing in all directions. Officials say they're planning a "limited military operation" to restore security there.
Continued anti-regime demonstrations are reported in many areas, including at Deir al-Zour in the east, Latakia on the coast, Homs and Hama in central Syria, and some suburbs of Damascus. But in a big show of organised support for the regime, many thousands of people turned out to witness what's being billed as the world's biggest Syrian flag, running along a big stretch of main road on the western outskirts of the capital.
They waved pictures of President Assad and chanted slogans praising him. State TV said the event was organised to show the Syrian people's cohesion, and rejection of foreign interference.
But despite being denied access by the Syrian government, the new UN report documents reliable evidence of widespread violations, says the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva.
"The most egregious reports concern the use of live ammunition against unarmed civilians, including from snipers positioned on rooftops of public buildings and the deployment of tanks in areas densely populated by civilians," says the report.
It cites "the excessive use of force in quelling demonstrators, arbitrary detentions, summary executions, torture".
The authorities appear to have denied civilians the right to food and medical care by laying siege to towns and preventing supply deliveries, it adds.
The preliminary report was commissioned by the UN human rights council in April, adds our correspondent. A more definitive account will have to wait until the Syrian government allows UN investigators in to see the situation for themselves.
Tanks in townsMeanwhile, Syria has called on the people of Jisr al-Shughour to return, three days after an army attack restored government control there.
More than 8,000 Syrians have fled from the north-western town into Turkey in the past week to escape military operations, which the government says are aimed at tackling "terrorist organisations".
Officials said the city of around 100,000 people - which has been the focus of large anti-regime demonstrations - was returning to normal, but that army units were still pursuing "militants" through the hills around the town.
Damascus says some 120 security personnel were killed by "armed gangs" in the town on 6 June, and on Wednesday state TV said a "mass grave" containing three bodies had been found.
At the same time, troops and tanks are reported to be massing for an attack on Maarat al-Numan, 25 miles (40km) south-east of Jisr al-Shughour. One eye-witness told BBC Arabic there were "no more than 7,000 people" left in the city, which has a population of some 90,000.
Syrian state media have reported attacks on government buildings and security headquarters in the town, which straddles the main highway between Syria's two biggest cities, Damascus and Aleppo.
Meanwhile, Jordan said it had reopened a border crossing 10km from the southern Syrian city of Deraa, where the current unrest started in March.
'Unbalanced' position?Although it has not yet responded to the UN report, Syria has expressed "surprise" at Arab League Chief Amr Moussa's position that the situation there was "dangerous and worrying".
Syrian rights groups put the overall death toll in Syria at 1,297 civilians and 340 security force members.
Refugees arriving in Turkey describe the regime's operation in the northern mountains as a "scorched-earth" campaign, and Syrian soldiers who deserted have said they were forced to commit atrocities.
Syria has prevented foreign journalists, including those from the BBC, from entering the country, making it difficult to independently verify reports from there.
European powers are campaigning for a draft UN Security Council resolution condemning the crackdown, but they face opposition from Russia and China, both of whom wield veto powers and object to UN action against President Assad.

Katie Holmes may have wormed her way into our hearts with the sweet and innocent act on Dawson's Creek and we may have feared that she'd become irreversibly meek and mild when she fell so hard for Tom Cruise she seemed to go speechless for months, but if her new ads are any indication, she's anything but meek or mild.
Holmes gets half-naked and a bit intense for these ads the H.Stern jewelry company, donning a white bikini, black bathing suit, and later almost nothing but a drooping, flimsy bikini top and a gold necklace. Plus, she's clearly mastered that whole smoulder thing. That's certainly one way to sell baubles.
Then again, let's just hope Suri doesn't try to emulate these looks too - toddler high heels are strange enough as it is.

Effects of physical and chemical pretreatments on the crystallinity of bagasse
Title: | Effects of physical and chemical pretreatments on the crystallinity of bagasse |
Author: | Jones, Maxine Janette |
Abstract: | Biomass conversion technologies are receiving increasing attention due to global climate change and most recently plans from the President of the United States to reduce fossil fuel consumption. The MixAlco process converts a variety of feedstocks, such as agricultural residues, municipal solid waste, and sewage sludge, into mixed alcohols via microbial fermentation, which can then be used as fuel additives or independently as an alternative fuel. Optimizing the pretreatment step of this process is critical to improving product yields. The process uses lime pretreatment, which can be enhanced using new decrystallization pretreatment methods, namely hydrodynamic cavitation and shock tube pretreatment.Previous studies on biomass decrystallization showed an increase in biomass digestibility when hydrodynamic cavitation was utilized as a pretreatment step. This previous work was expanded by studying both acoustic and hydrodynamic cavitation. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to model the cavitator to improve its efficiency. The crystallinity before and after pretreatment was analyzed. A new laboratory-scale MixAlco lime-pretreatment system was developed to produce greater quantities of lime-pretreated biomass that could be subjected to decrystallization experiments. The length of pretreatment, water loading, and bagasse loadings were varied for the shock tube experiments. After each pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis was performed, and the equivalent glucose yield was measured by the DNS (dinitrosalicylic acid) assay. Additionally, mixed-acid fermentation was performed to show the benefits of reduced crystallinity on the MixAlco fermentation. The acoustic and hydrodynamic cavitation pretreatments had a modest effect on crystallinity. In contrast, the shock tube pretreatment shows greater promise as an effective decrystallization pretreatment, even for lime-treated bagasse. Repeated shocks had little effect on digestibility and the crystallinity; however, the water temperature used in shock tube pretreatment played an important role in bagasse digestibility and crystallinity. |

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Matthew Kenney OKC

Review: Beautiful space, friendly staff, delicious food. We knew this place as a raw place, so were expecting the whole menu to be raw, but there were a few cooked things. It was all really tasty, though, and not so crazy-expensive as a lot of raw places. Would definitely go again if I were ever in OKC.

What is the approximate range on item passives? Are they all the same? If so, then I assume it would be known. I know for some abilities, the range on the ability exceeds the range for an AP/MR-type aura. It would be helpful to know where that is when evaluating items.
They're not all the same. The one's I've found (predominantly from the wiki): Sunfire Cap - 400 Abyssal Scepter - 1000 Frozen Heart - 1000 Aegis of the Legion - 1200 Stark's Fervor - 1200
Yeah I assumed Sunfire would be less, otherwise it would be insane. 1000-1200 is actually much better than I thought. A number of abilities go around 1100 and I was afraid they would outdistance the auras. This isn't too bad. Of course this also assumes that it performs the damage calculation upon firing, and not when the shot actually lands, after they've tried to outrun it.
