The Magi (/ˈmædʒaɪ/ [1] or /ˈmeɪdʒaɪ/; Greek: μάγοι, magoi), also referred to as the (Three) Wise Men or (Three) Kings were, in Christian tradition, a group of distinguished foreigners who visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They are regular figures in traditional accounts of the nativity celebrations of Christmas and are an important part of Christian tradition.
According to the Gospel of Matthew, the only one of the four Canonical gospels to mention the Magi, they were the first religious figures to worship Jesus. It states that "they" came "from the east" to worship the Christ, "born King of the Jews."[2] Although the account does not mention the number of people "they" or "the Magi" refers to, the three gifts has led to the widespread assumption that there were three men.[3][4] In the East, the Magi traditionally number twelve.[4] Their identification as kings in later Christian writings is probably linked to Psalms 72:11, "May all kings fall down before him".[4][5]
While traditional nativity scenes depict three "kings" visiting the infant Jesus on the night of his birth, in a manger accompanied by the shepherds and angels, the Biblical account simply presents an unnumbered party of unnamed "wise men" visiting much later after his birth, with Jesus described not as a baby but a child, and residing in a house, not a stable, with only "his mother" present. The New Revised Standard Version of Matthew 2:1–12 describes the visit of the Magi in this manner:
In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, "Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage." When King Herod heard this, he was frightened and all Jerusalem with him; and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been written by the prophet: 'And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel.'" Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage." When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another path.
The star which they followed has traditionally become known as the Star of Bethlehem.
The wise men are mentioned twice shortly thereafter in verse 16, in reference to their avoidance of Herod after seeing Jesus, and what Herod had learned from their earlier meeting. Herod's statement in Matthew 2:16-18 referring to boys two years or younger, suggests that the Magi arrived in Bethlehem a number of months after the birth of Jesus.[6]
The Magi are popularly referred to as wise men and kings. The word magi is the plural of Latin magus, borrowed from Greek μάγος magos,[7] as used in the original Greek text of the Gospel of Matthew. Greek magos itself is derived from Old Persian maguŝ from the Avestan magâunô, i.e., the religious caste into which Zoroaster was born, (see Yasna 33.7: "ýâ sruyê parê magâunô" = "so I can be heard beyond Magi"). The term refers to the priestly caste of Zoroastrianism.[8] As part of their religion, these priests paid particular attention to the stars and gained an international reputation for astrology, which was at that time highly regarded as a science. Their religious practices and use of astrology caused derivatives of the term Magi to be applied to the occult in general and led to the English term magic. The King James Version translates the term as wise men, the same translation is applied to the wise men led by Daniel of earlier Hebrew Scriptures (Daniel 2:48). The same word is given as sorcerer and sorcery when describing "Elymas the sorcerer" in Acts 13:6–11, and Simon Magus, considered a heretic by the early Church, in Acts 8:9–13. Several translations refer to the men outright as astrologers at Matthew Chapter 2, including New English Bible (1961); Phillips New Testament in Modern English (J.B.Phillips, 1972); Twentieth Century New Testament (1904 revised edition); Amplified Bible (1958-New Testament); An American Translation (1935, Goodspeed); and The Living Bible (K. Taylor, 1962-New Testament).
Traditions identify a variety of different names for the Magi. In the Western Christian church they have been commonly known as:
Encyclopædia Britannica[11] states: "according to Western church tradition, Balthasar is often represented as a king of Arabia, Melchior as a king of Persia, and Gaspar as a king of India." These names apparently derive from a Greek manuscript probably composed in Alexandria around 500, and which has been translated into Latin with the title Excerpta Latina Barbari.[9] Another Greek document from the 8th century, of presumed Irish origin and translated into Latin with the title Collectanea et Flores, continues the tradition of three kings and their names and gives additional details.[12][13]
One candidate for the origin of the name Caspar appears in the Acts of Thomas as Gondophares (21 – c. AD 47), i.e., Gudapharasa (from which "Caspar" might derive as corruption of "Gaspar"). This Gondophares declared independence from the Arsacids to become the first Indo-Parthian king, and he was allegedly visited by Thomas the Apostle. According to at least one scholar, his name is perpetuated in the name of the Afghan city Kandahar, which he is said to have founded under the name Gundopharron.[14] Christian legend may have chosen Gondofarr simply because he was an eastern king living in the right (?) time period.[citation needed]
In contrast, the Syrian Christians name the Magi Larvandad, Gushnasaph, and Hormisdas.[15] These names have a far greater likelihood of being originally Persian, though that does not, of course, guarantee their authenticity.
In the Eastern churches, Ethiopian Christianity, for instance, has Hor, Karsudan, and Basanater, while the Armenians have Kagpha, Badadakharida and Badadilma.[16][17] Many Chinese Christians believe that one of the magi came from China.[18]
The phrase from the east (ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν), more literally from the rising [of the sun], is the only information Matthew provides about the region from which they came. Traditionally the view developed that they were Babylonians, Persians, or Jews from Yemen as the kings of Yemen then were Jews, a view held for example by John Chrysostom. There is an Armenian tradition[19][specify] identifying the "Magi of Bethlehem" as Balthasar of Arabia, Melchior of Persia, and Gaspar of India. Bible historian Chuck Missler has also written[20] about this tradition. Historian John of Hildesheim[21][specify] relates a tradition in the ancient silk road city of Taxila (near Islamabad in Pakistan) that one of the Magi passed through the city on the way to Bethlehem.
On finding him, they gave baby Jesus three symbolic gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Warned in a dream that Judean king Herod intended to kill the child, they decided to return home by a different route. This prompted Herod to resort to killing all the young children in Bethlehem, an act called the Massacre of the Innocents, in an attempt to eliminate a rival heir to his throne. Jesus and his family had, however, escaped to Egypt beforehand. Afterward these events passed into obscurity.[22] The story of the nativity in Matthew glorifies Jesus, likens him to Moses, and shows his life as fulfilling prophecy.[23]
After the visit, the Magi leave the narrative by returning another way so as to avoid Herod, and do not reappear. Gregory the Great waxed lyrical on this theme, commenting that having come to know Jesus we are forbidden to return by the way we came. There are many traditional stories about what happened to the Magi after this, with one having them baptised by St. Thomas on his way to India. Another has their remains found by Saint Helena and brought to Constantinople, and eventually making their way to Germany and the Shrine of the Three Kings at Cologne Cathedral.
Sebastian Brock, a historian of Christianity, has said: "It was no doubt among converts from Zoroastrianism that… certain legends were developed around the Magi of the Gospels".[24] And Anders Hutgård concluded that the Gospel story of the Magi was influenced by an Iranian legend concerning magi and a star, which was connected with Persian beliefs in the rise of a star predicting the birth of a ruler and with myths describing the manifestation of a divine figure in fire and light.[25]
A model for the homage of the Magi might have been provided, it has been suggested, by the journey to Rome of King Tiridates I of Armenia, with his magi, to pay homage to the Emperor Nero, which took place in 66 AD, a few years before the date assigned to the composition of the Gospel of Matthew.[26][27]
There was a tradition that the Central Asian Naimans and their Christian Kerait relatives were descended from the Biblical Magi.[28] This heritage passed to the Mongol dynasty of Genghis Khan when Sorghaghtani, niece of the Kerait ruler Toghrul, married Tolui the youngest son of Genghis and became the mother of Möngke Khan and his younger brother and successor, Kublai Khan. Toghrul became identified with the legendary Central Asian Christian king, Prester John, whose Mongol descendants were sought as allies against the Muslims by contemporary European monarchs and popes.[29] Sempad the Constable, elder brother of King Hetoum I of Cilician Armenia, visited the Mongol court in Karakorum in 1247-1250 and in 1254. He wrote a letter to Henry I King of Cyprus and Queen Stephanie (Sempad's sister) from Samarkand in 1243, in which he said: "Tanchat [Tangut, or Western Xia], which is the land from whence came the Three Kings to Bethlem to worship the Lord Jesus which was born. And know that the power of Christ has been, and is, so great, that the people of that land are Christians; and the whole land of Chata [Khitai, or Kara-Khitai] believes those Three Kings. I have myself been in their churches and have seen pictures of Jesus Christ and the Three Kings, one offering gold, the second frankincense, and the third myrrh. And it is through those Three Kings that they believe in Christ, and that the Chan and his people have now become Christians".[30] The legendary Christian ruler of Central Asia, Prester John was reportedly a descendant of one of the Magi.[31]
"Long before the time of Christ, India had trade relations with Palestine; much of the commerce between the Orient and the Mediterranean civilizations (including Egypt, Greece, and Rome) passed through Jerusalem", so it is very likely that Wise Men could have been "great sages of India", as Paramahansa Yogananda wrote in his "The Second Coming of Christ – The Resurrection of the Christ Within You" (2004, pp56–59).
The Magi are described as "falling down", "kneeling" or "bowing" in the worship of Jesus.[2] This gesture, together with Luke's birth narrative, had an important effect on Christian religious practices. They were indicative of great respect, and typically used when venerating a king. Inspired by these verses, kneeling and prostration were adopted in the early Church. While prostration is now rarely practised in the West, bar kneeling in front of statues in Catholic worship,[32] it is still relatively common in the Eastern Churches, especially during Lent. Kneeling has remained an important element of Christian worship to this day.
Three gifts are explicitly identified in Matthew: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Many different theories of the meaning and symbolism of the gifts have been brought forward. While gold is fairly obviously explained, frankincense, and particularly myrrh, are much more obscure.
The theories generally break down into two groups:
Myrrh was used as an embalming ointment and as a penitential incense in funerals and cremations until the 15th century. The "holy oil" traditionally used by the Eastern Orthodox Church for performing the sacraments of chrismation and unction is traditionally scented with myrrh, and receiving either of these sacraments is commonly referred to as "receiving the myrrh". The picture of the Magi on the 7th century Franks Casket[3] shows the third visitor - he who brings myrrh - with a valknut over his back, a pagan symbol referring to Death.
It has been suggested by scholars that the "gifts" were medicinal rather than precious material for tribute.[34][35][36]
The Syrian King Seleucus II Callinicus is recorded to have offered gold, frankincense and myrrh (among other items) to Apollo in his temple at Miletus in 243 BC, and this may have been the precedent for the mention of these three gifts in Gospel of Matthew (2:11). It was these three gifts, it is thought, which were the chief cause for the number of the Magi becoming fixed eventually at three.[37]
This episode can be linked to Isaiah 60 and to Psalm 72 which report gifts being given by kings, and this has played a central role in the perception of the Magi as kings, rather than as astronomer-priests. In a hymn of the late 4th-century hispanic poet Prudentius, the three gifts have already gained their medieval interpretation as prophetic emblems of Jesus' identity, familiar in the carol "We Three Kings" by John Henry Hopkins, Jr., 1857.
John Chrysostom suggested that the gifts were fit to be given not just to a king but to God, and contrasted them with the Jews' traditional offerings of sheep and calves, and accordingly Chrysostom asserts that the Magi worshiped Jesus as God.
What subsequently happened to these gifts is never mentioned in the scripture, but several traditions have developed.[38] One story has the gold being stolen by the two thieves who were later crucified alongside Jesus. Another tale has it being entrusted to and then misappropriated by Judas. One tradition suggests that Joseph and Mary used the gold to finance their travels when they fled Bethlehem after the magi had warned them about King Herod's plan to kill Jesus. And another story proposes the theory that the myrrh given to them at Jesus' birth was used to anoint Jesus' body after his crucifixion.
There was a 15th-century golden case purportedly containing the Gift of the Magi housed in the Monastery of St. Paul of Mount Athos. It was donated to the monastery in the 15th century by Mara Branković, daughter of the King of Serbia Đurađ Branković, wife to the Ottoman Sultan Murat II and godmother to Mehmet II the Conqueror (of Constantinople. They were apparently part of the relics of the Holy Palace of Constantinople and it is claimed they were displayed there since the 4th century.[citation needed] After the Athens earthquake of September 9, 1999 they were temporarily displayed in Athens in order to strengthen faith and raise money for earthquake victims. The relics are to be taken to Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.[39]
Christian Scriptures record nothing about the Biblical Magi after reporting their going back to their own country. Two separate traditions have surfaced claiming that they were so moved by their encounter with Jesus that they either became Christians on their own or were quick to convert fully upon later encountering an Apostle of Jesus. The traditions claim that they were so strong in their beliefs that they willingly embraced martyrdom.
One tradition gained popularity in Spain during the 17th century, it was found in a work called the Chronicon of Dexter. The work was ascribed to Flavius Lucius Dexter the bishop of Barcelona, under Theodosius the Great. The tradition appears in the form of a simple martyrology reading "In Arabia Felix, in the city of Sessania of the Adrumeti, the martyrdom of the holy kings, the three Magi, Gaspar, Balthassar, and Melchior who adored Christ."[40] First appearing in 1610, the Chronicon of Dexter was immensely popular along with the traditions it contained throughout the 17th century - later this was all brought into question when historians and the Catholic hierarchy in Rome declared the work a pious forgery.[41]
A competing tradition asserts that the Biblical Magi "were martyred for the faith, and that their bodies were first venerated at Constantinople; thence they were transferred to Milan. When Barbarossa overthrew Milan, these bodies were taken to the great Dome of Cologne, and there they are venerated today."[40]
There are several traditions on where the remains of the Magi are located, although none of the traditions is considered as an established fact or even as particularly likely by secular history.
Marco Polo claimed that he was shown the three tombs of the Magi at Saveh south of Tehran in the 1270s:
In Persia is the city of Saba, from which the Three Magi set out and in this city they are buried, in three very large and beautiful monuments, side by side. And above them there is a square building, beautifully kept. The bodies are still entire, with hair and beard remaining.
—Marco Polo, Polo, Marco, The Book of the Million, book i.
A Shrine of the Three Kings at Cologne Cathedral, according to tradition, contains the bones of the Three Wise Men. Reputedly they were first discovered by Saint Helena on her famous pilgrimage to Palestine and the Holy Lands. She took the remains to the church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople; they were later moved to Milan (some sources say by the city's bishop, Eustorgius I[42]), before being sent to their current resting place by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I in AD 1164. The Milanese celebrate their part in the tradition by holding a medieval costume parade every 6 January.
A version of the detailed elaboration familiar to us is laid out by the 14th century cleric John of Hildesheim's Historia Trium Regum ("History of the Three Kings"). In accounting for the presence in Cologne of their mummified relics, he begins with the journey of Helena, mother of Constantine I to Jerusalem, where she recovered the True Cross and other relics:
Queen Helen… began to think greatly of the bodies of these three kings, and she arrayed herself, and accompanied by many attendants, went into the Land of Ind… after she had found the bodies of Melchior, Balthazar, and Gaspar, Queen Helen put them into one chest and ornamented it with great riches, and she brought them into Constantinople... and laid them in a church that is called Saint Sophia.
The visit of the Magi is commemorated in most Western Christian churches by the observance of Epiphany, 6 January. The Eastern Orthodox celebrate the visit of the Magi on 25 December.
The identification of the Magi as kings is linked to Old Testament prophesies that have the Messiah being worshipped by kings in Isaiah 60:3, Psalm 72:10, and Psalm 68:29. Early readers reinterpreted Matthew in light of these prophecies and elevated the Magi to kings. By AD 500 all commentators adopted the prevalent tradition that the three were kings, and this continued until the Protestant Reformation.[43]
Though the Qur'an omits Matthew's episode of the Magi, it was well known in Arabia. The Muslim encyclopaedist al-Tabari, writing in the 9th century, gives the familiar symbolism of the gifts of the Magi. Al-Tabari gave his source for the information to be the later 7th century writer Wahb ibn Munabbih.[44]
Some religious traditions take a critical view of the Magi. Jehovah's Witnesses[45] do not see the arrival of the Magi as something to be celebrated, but instead stress the Biblical condemnation of sorcery and astrology in such texts as Deuteronomy 18:10–11, Leviticus 19:26, and Isaiah 47:13–14. They also point to the fact that the star seen by the Magi led them first to a hostile enemy of Jesus, and only then to the child's location — the argument being that if this was an event from God, it makes no sense for them to be led to a ruler with intentions to kill the child before taking them to Jesus.[46] Likewise, as Matthew 2:12 informs, the Magi were warned by God not to return to the familicide King Herod.
Holidays celebrating the arrival of the Magi traditionally recognise a distinction between the date of their arrival and the date of Jesus' birth. The account given in the Gospel of Matthew does not state that they were present on the night of the birth; in the Gospel of Luke, Joseph and Mary remain in Bethlehem until it is time for Jesus' dedication, in Jerusalem, and then return to their home in Nazareth.
Western Christianity celebrates the Magi on the day of Epiphany, January 6, the day immediately following the twelve days of Christmas, particularly in the Spanish-speaking parts of the world. In these areas, the Three Kings ("los Reyes Magos de Oriente", also "Los Tres Reyes Magos" and "Los Reyes Magos") receive letters from children and so bring them gifts on the night before Epiphany. In Spain, each one of the Magi is supposed to represent one different continent, Europe (Melchior), Asia (Caspar) and Africa (Balthasar). According to the tradition, the Magi come from the Orient on their camels to visit the houses of all the children; much like Santa Claus with his reindeer, they visit everyone in one night. In some areas, children prepare a drink for each of the Magi. It is also traditional to prepare food and drink for the camels, because this is the only night of the year when they eat.
In Spain there has been a growing concern over the fact that Balthazar is commonly played by a white person in blackface.[47][48]
The Magi most frequently appear in European art in the Adoration of the Magi; less often The Journey of the Magi has been a popular topos, and other scenes such as the Magi before Herod and the Dream of the Magi also appear in the Middle Ages. In Byzantine art they are depicted as Persians, wearing trousers and phrygian caps. Crown appear from the 10th century. Medieval artists also allegorised the theme to represent the three ages of man. Beginning in the 12th century, and very often by the 15th, the Kings also represent the three parts of the known (pre-Columbian) world in Western art, especially in Northern Europe. Balthasar is thus represented as a young African or Moor and Caspar may be depicted with distinctly Oriental features.
An early Anglo-Saxon picture survives on the Franks Casket, probably a non-Christian king's hoard-box (early 7th century, whalebone carving); or rather the hoard-box survived Christian attacks on non-Christian art and sculpture because of that picture.[61] In its composition it follows the oriental style, which renders a courtly scene, with the Virgin and Christ facing the spectator, while the Magi devoutly approach from the (left) side. Even amongst non-Christians who had heard of the Christian story of the Magi, the motif was quite popular, since the Magi had endured a long journey and were generous. Instead of an angel, the picture places a swan, interpretable as the hero's fylgja (a protecting spirit, and shapeshifter).
Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein depicted a more controversial tableau in his painting, Epiphany I: Adoration of the Magi (1996). Intended to represent the "many connections between the Third Reich and the Christian churches in Austria and Germany",[62] Nazi officers in uniform stand around an Aryan woman, a Madonna. The Christ toddler who stands on Mary's lap resembles Adolf Hitler.[63]
More generally they appear in popular Nativity scenes and other Christmas decorations that have their origins in the Neapolitan variety of the Italian presepio or Nativity crèche.

The 1853 slave narrative Twelve Years a Slave is now a major motion picture directed by Steve McQueen. The film is a faithful rendering of the life of Solomon Northup, a free African American man who is sold into chattel bondage and brutally enslaved. Northup's life story highlights one of the little-known facets of American slavery: the dangers that free black people faced during the antebellum era, with little legal recourse if they were cheated, harmed, brutalized or even sold into slavery.
Northup was eventually freed. But there were countless others whose names we cannot know.

Nearly every comic about Jesus attempts to clone him. As a character, Jesus has been reproduced endlessly and shuffled about, pasted into all sorts of locales and warped beyond recognition. The graphic form allows readers and artists to experience his significance in situations far removed from earlier forms.

Few people outside of the military community understand the challenges and emotional stress many military families face. The appreciation dinner is Texas de Brazil's way of demonstrating their gratitude for the sacrifices military families and service members make for our country. Each family's experience at the restaurant will be sponsored completely by Texas de Brazil at one of their domestic locations.
"Texas de Brazil is thrilled to enter into a partnership with ASYMCA," said Salim Asrawi, C.O.O. of Texas de Brazil. "We appreciate the sacrifice from military members and their families and applaud this organization's efforts and commitment to military families. We look forward to providing additional support through this exciting partnership."
The Brazilian-style steakhouse provides a uniquely appetizing fine-dining experience. Diners enjoy a 50-60 item seasonal salad-bar, accompanied by a non-stop offering of meats, mouthwateringly grilled to perfection. Their extensive menu includes a variety of beef, lamb, pork, chicken and sausage that diners choose at their discretion as servers pass by. Everything from beverages to dessert will be included as part of Texas de Brazil's gift to military families.
For more information on partnering with the ASYMCA to make life easier for military families, please contact Charlotte Caldwell, Director of Marketing, PR & Social Media at email@example.com.

Video Transcriptthings you need to know before you go! First the big story... Israel bombarded Hamas targets overnight in the heaviest fighting yet in the Gaza Strip! The Mideast crisis is now in its fourth week, and with dozens more deaths, Israeli is now warning of a 'prolonged campaign' against Hamas. Two, a friend of Iowa's youngest convicted killer, Kristina Fetters, says she was able to earn forgiveness from her family during her final days. Fetters was released on parole several months ago... She had breast cancer and died Sunday in hospice. Fetters killed her great aunt in 1994 when she was 14. Three - Des Moines police are asking for your help in identifying a man found dead in the Des Moines River Sunday. An autopsy revealed the black man was in his 20's... And was wearing a dark swim suit. Police say there's no sign of foul play but they haven't been able to I-D him. Four - officials in Fort Dodge will try to find new homes for 9 dogs and 27 cats removed from this home. They say the animals are healthy, but they were living in filthy conditions. The homeowner, 61-year-old Kathleen Bond will not face charges. Five - The popular Drake neighborhood bar Peggy's Tavern faces an uncertain future. The Des Moines City council did not renew the bar's liquor license last night. Police say there have been too many instances of the bar serving minors. The owner can still appeal.

This is the second half of a conversation, the great RiotNome came into DD chat to talk about Dominion with us. By the way, high elo players go into DominateDominion chat room. Ardnalis: akin to GP's poisons HaIfhearted: for like a minute straight admron: people freaking out way too much about BFT though since admron: S3 items on the way HaIfhearted: never ran out of charges despite always having my spells on him admron: etc Drakylon: Entropy would be better if its damage was on-hit instant instead of a DoT otirruborez: that's a long ways away admron: It is a long ways away because they're getting the items right TehBlueOne joined the room. AlphaFerric: a truedamage on hit? my irelia says yes please HaIfhearted: i personally think a ghostblade-esque buff would go a long ways towards balancing torch, if you dont want to remove the burn rmsoulball joined the room. Genericke joined the room. Drakylon: It's already pretty much a true damage on-hit, except over time AlphaFerric: or just reducing th number of charges/regen of cahrges HaIfhearted: because then it becomes a combat active, and you dont have to worry about **** like teemo shrooms AlphaFerric: but theres fewer options there for players admron: charges seem fine to me if you can get the regen/# correct HaIfhearted: as it is now, charges shouldnt start regenning until at least 2-3 seconds later than they do Drakylon: Why not make the burn an active with a reasonable duration and cooldown? HaIfhearted: and max charges are too high ViolentlyCar: I got like seven autoattack kills that game ViolentlyCar: as AP Malz Orphane: first 6 minutes of the game is a 4v5 ViolentlyCar: :V RiotNome: @drakylon, because then it's just ****ty DFG Orphane: what the **** do you think is going to happen, you ***? AlphaFerric: ^^ DrytharStarthra: Nome I've put forward 3 or 4 ideas on the playerbase problem. Any feedback? Drakylon: Hmm RiotNome: i agree with them RiotNome: hard not to agree RiotNome: dumb not to agree really RiotNome: just most of it's out of my hands admron: I'm surprised you made it -7 charges nome because RiotNome: kind of have to lobby for them admron: Most numbers changes go for the random round numbers ViolentlyCar: I'm not so confident in my post admron: because people like them Zenthien joined the room. admron: 18 instead of 15 or 20 Señor Applebeef: so teemo with BFT is pretty stupid Cloggedartery joined the room. Ethereal Sol joined the room. admron: people's minds will be boggled! otirruborez: just ban him senor Señor Applebeef: wasnt doing draft DrytharStarthra: I feel like your the Chess Club president going into the Studant Council asking for anything, new chess peices and the football captain laughing at you. AlphaFerric: I wasn't around when LoL was in beta/S1, how did it become such a popular game in the midst of sc2. Maybe similar reasoning can get dom off the ground? Gandair: i love that analogy so much <3 DrytharStarthra: We appreciate you immensely. What is the general feeling about dominion as a gamemode around the office? otirruborez: do you have population numbers for dominion? Sorayai joined the room. RiotNome: can't answer that drythar RiotNome: i do, but i can't share them admron: Nome gets swirlies =( DrytharStarthra: >.< otirruborez: feels like less than 1000 Life In Color joined the room. RiotNome: not that low RiotNome: dom has more players than tf2 probably AlphaFerric: can we play this game legally? Less than 10k? otirruborez: at once you mean? RubMahNips joined the room. admron: lol what is this naotasan joined the room. RiotNome: active users, probably Ardnalis: Was about to say admron: Nod twice if there are 30k+ users RiotNome: likely concurrent as well admron: Wink three times if 50k RiotNome: but remember RiotNome: chian RiotNome: *china Ardnalis: Then again, TF2 is incredibly old at this point RiotNome: has a huge chunk of players otirruborez: he basically said 50k+ concurrent AlphaFerric: fuuuuu china?? Do they have dom numbers? RiotNome: across all realms Suzuran Turnip: do they rush deathcap admron: Is there a big disparity in dominion popularity across regions? RiotNome: anyway IamJeffreyWong joined the room. RiotNome: back to work AlphaFerric: ah okay otirruborez: tf2 hovers around 50k Ardnalis: have fun nome AlphaFerric: thanks nome! otirruborez: prime Genericke: Something I found interesting was how few people actually take revive according to LoLking on dominion. Makes me think that there's a lot more going on at lower elo than we know about. Gandair: thanks for stopping by DrytharStarthra: Well we don't want you telling us anything that could get you in trouble. We don't want you -not- coming back in here. Kinda like having a girl over and grabbing her *** randomly. DrytharStarthra: She's not gonna come back. admron: O.o DrytharStarthra: thanks for coming in and we appreciate it Gandair: yes she did... admron: That metaphor RiotNome: comment in my kitae's/entropy thread Drakylon: @Nome: For BFT, you could lower its damage more on DoT effects, or lower its duration to only when the damage is being dealt to prevent abuse Ardnalis: depends on the girl DrytharStarthra: a nice girl AlphaFerric: get me unbanned from the forums!!! Gandair: Drythar is the only one allowed to make metaphors/similies/anaolgies, ever admron: drak admron: he explained that that isn't mechanically feasible Drakylon: Huh Orphane: i just commented DrytharStarthra: time to go check out the entropy thread LIOLIOLEO joined the room. admron: short version is, abilities are flagged Single/DoT/AOE for things like rylais etc admron: Teemo Shrooms = aoe Drakylon: Aren't they flagged for BFT as well for reduced damage? admron: No, BFT damage is always full ViolentlyCar: I feel like Kitae's Fabs457: i think he did mention that the tic duration will be reduced from 3->2sec RiotNome: quick explanation for how these things work Drakylon: Oh ViolentlyCar: and in general, percent health items admron: in the new version ViolentlyCar: favour tanky bruiser guys RiotNome: we do two types of tagging ViolentlyCar: but the item is a pure DPS item Drakylon: I'm pretty sure BFT had a flag for AoE and DoT ViolentlyCar: so it doesn't really appeal to anyone admron: The old TT-only version did, Drak ViolentlyCar: except weird bot lane cases like Nunu or Udyr otirruborez: why don't you halve damage for aoe RiotNome: 1. damage type: magic/physical/true/internal Drakylon: It dealt reduced damage for AoE effects in beta, I know that much otirruborez: like spellvamp otirruborez: or 33% otirruborez: whatever RiotNome: internal being a damage type for designers to **** around with thaillmatic joined the room. Zombiebrine joined the room. otirruborez: 2.5% on aoe HaIfhearted: yo nome, theres actually something ive been meaning to ask you for awhile HaIfhearted: is there some chance you can tweak the dominion passive aura to reduce healtlh COSTs on abilities? zimike: uh zimike: why? Cloggedartery: ? HaIfhearted: becuase right now vlad just kills himself withhis own abilities, and doesnt really gain anything Orphane: vlad and morde Orphane: kill themselves RiotNome: 2. effect type: single/AoE/DoT/proc/persist/attack/etc HaIfhearted: vlad especially Ardnalis: Oh, hey, Nome, before I forgot: A quick yes/no: Does TT have some kind of mana regen aura? I swear it seems it does but I couldn't google a source saying yes Orphane: TT does HaIfhearted: it does RiotNome: effect type is why this is such a huge freaking issue Orphane: it's 1.5% per 1% mana missing Ardnalis: okay, so I wans't going insane RiotNome: and it's why i hate working with this sometimes admron: TT has 150% chalice, ardanalis RiotNome: when we apply damage RiotNome: we can only give it one effect type RiotNome: this is why teemo shrooms are AoE, and not AoE+DoT HaIfhearted: interesting Cloggedartery: hmm zimike: odd RiotNome: this is why ezreal's Q and gangplank's Q apply on-hits otirruborez: can't you just make the item do half damage on aoe? DevlJoe: this game sux RiotNome: because they're tagged as effect type ATTACK admron: Couldn't you add a new flag that is "AOEDOT" otirruborez: like spellvamp is worse for aoe Ardnalis: So the way to fix BFT on Teemo is to turn it into AoE+DoT and have it not trigger on Dots? otirruborez: and rylai admron: and change the relevent abilities? otirruborez: wow otirruborez: lol Subqt joined the room. RiotNome: that's also why they don't apply rylai's... because rylai's only works for single/AoE/DoT types RiotNome: no, the way to fix teemo is to nerf his *** otirruborez: sounds like you guys need to overhaul Commando Teemo: -.- otirruborez: everything Ardnalis: tee hee Orphane: the way to fix teemo is to remove him Commando Teemo: So Nome DrytharStarthra: lmao..Nome hates Teemo, for the record books Orphane: like Commando Teemo: What are you planning with teemo? Orphane: euthanization zimike: is teemo a thing on sr atm?> Orphane: also quoting nome on that Orphane: forever RiotNome: i think i've convinced live team to get something in for 1.72 RiotNome: either base damage nerf on shrooms or ratio otirruborez: no RiotNome: possibly hit E ratio HaIfhearted: base would be nice HaIfhearted: i think the rest of his kit is mostly fine Commando Teemo: Do you intend for Teemo to be played on hit instead? zimike: its mostly the shrooms that are a problem on domi HaIfhearted: just the shrooms do WAY to much damage Subqt: OH Commando Teemo: Or do you just hate AP teemo? Subqt: MY Subqt: GOD Orphane: you are a gentleman and a scholar, nome RiotNome: i love teemo Orphane: just sayin' admron: Don't hit teemo E-ratio! RiotNome: i'm also an ******* zimike: its not just the damage tho, its a game mode that has wards disabled Subqt: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...php?p=31414244 RiotNome: that's why i8 like him Subqt: NO WAY HaIfhearted: lol RiotNome: yeah nid's hot now HaIfhearted: mmmm, nidalee visual upgrade IronAegis joined the room. zimike: so skills that are a bonus effect of "free ward" in sr are a primary effect of "ward" in dominion HaIfhearted: one of the most annoying to figiht champions just got sexier Orphane: too bad people will still suck at nid! HaIfhearted: wonderful.... otirruborez: teemo needs his e ratio Gandair: Riku would need to update her costume otirruborez: without that his dmg without shrooms is pathetic Gandair: i support this idea Orphane: also now her traps are like ViolentlyCar: yeah zimike Orphane: actually visible Ardnalis: I still find it hilarious that Teemo was considered a troll/bad pick no more than 3 months ago. With one small fix to his E he became very good, and a new item sent him overboard. Commando Teemo: So Rome, Teemo isn't seeing much play on modes that aren't dominion, why does he deserve a nerf? DrytharStarthra: I think Teemo is not that big a problem in the lower to mid elo's to be honest Commando Teemo: And thats true ardnalis otirruborez: that was not a small fix DrytharStarthra: high elo people are the ones who build him AP/CDR/Mpen RCIX: honestly, all teemo needs is some way to force shrooms only to be triggered in combat otirruborez: that was a massive buff Volandum joined the room. Subqt: I just came DrytharStarthra: low elo people build him AD and on hit Subqt: maid nidalee RiotNome: actually Subqt: mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm DrytharStarthra: volandum, you missed most of the Riotnome visit RiotNome: Teemo is really popular on TT, and apparently is an issue on SR Ardnalis: it was a relatively small one, I'm talking before the ratio got buffed otirruborez: bruiser teemo can still 1v1 almost any champ Ardnalis: when they fixed it applying the tick zimike: TT also has the disabled wards issue RCIX: like, you have to have e poison on a target to pop a shroom RiotNome: he was already on live team's radar Orphane: well teemo is popular for the same reason he's op on Dom Orphane: free ******* wards DrytharStarthra: well I can tell you, Teemo's popularity on TT is the fact that they don't have wards Orphane: wards that deal damage and slow to boot DrytharStarthra: most of his appeal Ardnalis: and dont give gold DrytharStarthra: and of course BFT Commando Teemo: Well most Teemos on TT also lose HaIfhearted: yo Nome, is there any chance you can ask the live team to increas teh cooldown on kassadins ult? RiotNome: anyway back to work comment on kitae's/entropy RiotNome: iwanna remake those things Orphane: also French made nidalee Orphane: *maid Ardnalis: Well, unless its TT or an ashe/TF is around, then they do ViolentlyCar: Nome: maybe just remove Kitae's and replace with BotRK? DrytharStarthra: I think both have alot of potential RCIX: entropy is zimike: botrk would be terror on dominion D: Volandum: I think Entropy is just slightly too expensive. Drakylon: Kitae's does no damage currently RCIX: its an ad version of fm but too expensive ViolentlyCar: I feel like Entropy just suffers too much from not being Trinity Force otirruborez: kitaes does more damage than bft =0 Orphane: the main problem with kitae's is the ad needs to get the **** out of the recipe Volandum: If Entropy were slightly cheaper it would be quite good. Ardnalis: bft can be applied then you run away/kite Ardnalis: kitaes is onhit Orphane: the same dissonance with madred's is the same with kitae's RCIX: my dream is it becomes a stacking 5% slow Drakylon: It suffers from the same problem that Bloodrazor does imo, albiet less so ViolentlyCar: Triforce gives you move speed, mana, and often more damage zimike: entropy actually sees some play at high elo domi ViolentlyCar: :| RCIX: but thatll never happen :< Orphane: that was originally intede for "ad carries build this to counter health stack" RobinIsTheMother joined the room. Orphane: except ViolentlyCar: it's more expensive, sure, but not too much more Orphane: that was horrible design intent otirruborez: crits counter health stack =0 Orphane: they need to remove the ad and just make it specifically for on-hit builds Drakylon: Except tanks also have MR, which basically lowers that Kitae's damage to nothing ViolentlyCar: like I said Orphane: because on-hit builds scale better with proc power/attack speed ViolentlyCar: things that deal damage based on your opponent's stats Drakylon: It'd probably be better if it dealt physical damage otirruborez: i like the ad on it Orphane: or magic pen Ardnalis: its meant to vary your damage some ViolentlyCar: are going to favour tanky characters otirruborez: more hybrid damage is good Ardnalis: see jayce for why this is good ViolentlyCar: and Kitae's has no tanky stats on it Drakylon: So that AD carries' armor pen benefits it Orphane: so they should just redesign kitaes specifically for on-hit builds RCIX: ok so i remember reading that tanks dont actually have a ton more health than squishies 13rock joined the room. MrNoobSummoner joined the room. RCIX: so why not make it flat true damage Drakylon: Meh Orphane: nah otirruborez: cause we have irelia Ardnalis: flat % or flat-flat? Orphane: that would make irelia Gandair: what are these weird *** cup icons? Orphane: abusive again RCIX: sure it gives damage ViolentlyCar: true damage has a lot of "feel bad" baggage with it Orphane: s2 elo icons gandair RCIX: but youd get more from actual ad against squishies Ardnalis: S1 gave icons too Gandair: o.O Pepitas joined the room. RCIX: not flat percent RCIX: flat flat Drakylon: Also, Wit's End already deals flat "true" damage RCIX: its magic lol RCIX: tanks have mres 13rock: green is diamond?
Senior Member
yeah so fk teemo ha
Logic: Population of dominion too small to have ranked Population of dominion bigger than team fortress 2 All games with less players than team fortress 2 are doing a mistake by having a ladder.
poor Teemo
Cottontail Teemo
Judging Nome for liking Teemo. Respecting Nome for wanting his ass nerfed.
self defeating if the reason no ranked is because of player base. the fact there is no ranked is a large reason the player base is small imo
Is there a first part of the conversation?

i like the s/s Evolution 10-22. My one question about stocks is, is there worse or better ones or is a stock just how you like to hold the gun? reason i asked if cause i looked at the s/s Evolution 10-22 and it said should fit any barrel size, also is it hard to transfer gun from stock to stock?

All you have to do is remove the barrel band by loosening 1 screw, removing the single action screw, putting the safety 1/2 way on, and lifting it out. Install the barreled receiver in the new stock by putting safety 1/2 way on and seat in the stock. Reinstall the action screw in the new stock and tighten.
Sometimes you earthlings REALLY amaze me!
I keep on hearing about rings, Seal rings or something? is the rings something i should replace/upgrade while changing stocks?
There are no seal rings in a 10/22. Perhaps they're talking about scope mounting rings?
o ok.maybe i miss read or the rings were for another type of gun. without the 10/22 its self, to make it the best 10/22 i can for long range shooting, how much money will i spend into it? Not looking for a exact price but just a range so i know how much money to put aside for the 10/22.
It depends on what you consider long range. By 100 yards a .22LR has pretty much seen it's best. Sure I know of people that shoot them out to 200 and even 250 yards but that's not too common. Out of box (scoped) a 10/22 will shoot decent out to 50 yards or so. By changing barrel and stock you're only increasing accuracy. You'll make it more accurate at longer range-you won't be actually extending it's range. Figure around 200$ for a new 10/22, 120-130 for a Green Mountain barrel, and whatever the stock you like costs. That's not counting the scope & scope rings.
Thanks alot for taking the time and helping me out on my questions. 100yards to me is a good distance, being a new shooter im not going to go out there and try shooting 250yards away. gotta walk before you can run. i just want to make the best accurate .22 that i can make for around 100 maybe 150yards. What length barrel would you recommend? Just asking how do people get there 10/22 to shoot 250yards? what can you do to the rifle to get it that punch? once again thanks alot for taking the time and helping me out with questions really appreciate it.
NRA Life MEMBER 1976
I don't know about everyone else, but I enjoy the challenge of long range shooting with the .22 LR. It is very satisfying to hear the ping on steel at 2 to 3 hundred yards. It also makes for a relaxing day of cheap shooting. Jim....................

MIAMI — This was not the smoothest of operations.
Not close, even at the dramatic finish.
But the result was familiar, the Miami Heat franchise-record winning streak now at 16, one victory off the longest in the NBA this season.
No, this 97-96 victory Wednesday night over the Orlando Magic at AmericanAirlines Arena was far from what was expected.
Except for LeBron James at the finish, with his driving layup with 3.2 seconds to play closing the scoring.
"He just kind of spaced it and drove it and jumped over everybody with his left hand," coach Erik Spoelstra said of the play that accounted for the last two of James' game-high 26 points.
The winning basket came off a pick-and-roll called out of a timeout by Spoelstra, after Magic forward Al Harrington was off with a 3-point attempt with Orlando up one.
Problem was, James secured possession after that Harrington miss while on the move, in position to play in the open floor.
That's also when a whistle sounded, the official believing Spoelstra wanted a timeout, which he didn't.
"It was miscommunication," Spoelstra said.
ww"The official apologized. I had told him before that, if they make it, I was calling time out."
Not only did that plan blow up, so did the plan to run the pick-and-roll with Chris Bosh.
No matter, the Heat and James ultimately found a way.
"We wanted to get our tallest guy and most athletic guy to the rim," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said.
Like last week's victories over the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers and Sacramento Kings, the Heat again appeared to be at a loss for motivation after moving to a large early lead, this time 15 at halftime and then 20 early in the third quarter.
But like those two escape acts, superior talent and athleticism eventually prevailed.

It's amazing what you can learn about other cultures on a running forum.... This elf on a shelf creepiness is actually starting to grow on me.
just a simple cat
Poor Barbie...
Ken never pulled that!
Running is stupid
The only elf I am going to see this year lives in New Zealand!! And hobbits too!

Ken was neutered at birth he had nothing to pull.
Wot? Run? I thought they said Rum!
Barbie was smiling the whole time. I think she liked it.
I don't half-ass anything

Okay, I caved. My 5 year old even put in his santa letter that he wants an elf. So damnit, I bought him one! He'll find him in the morning when he sleepily stumbles into the bathroom for his morning pee. Surprise!!!
If my kids don't stop being little turds, they may wake to find that Peter has hanged himself because he can't bear to tell Santa what's up. I'm seriously thinking about posing him with a little pen and notepad. What a great little mind fuck.
My friends sent me a picture with Barbie in the food processor and their elf with his hand on the chop button. They even went so far as to add evil eyebrows. I'm getting some GI Joe weaponry for my next one.

This was in my FB feed this morning:
Oooooh, stealing. My SIL got one (paid $30 for it, too!), so I've been making it a point of snarking it up on FB. Also, The "Elf on a Shelf Gone Bad" FB page is hilarious.

The process is the goal.

But analysts say that the Kremlin faced with the possible loss of more than 750 civilian theatergoers at the hands of Chechen rebels who boasted that they were "eager" to use their 30 explosive devices to bring down the building and become martyrs had few choices.
"There were two ways to prevent an explosion," says Yury Mosichuk, a toxicologist at the Military Medical Academy in St. Petersburg. "Deliver an unexpected blow to the head, which was impossible. Or this narcotic way."
In the absence of official information, speculation continues about the gas which some suggest may be a product banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention, to which Russia is a signatory.Substances with a similar effect are already well known, however, and reside in a gray zone of prohibited chemical weapons. Any toxic substance that can kill or incapacitate for long periods is illegal though exemptions exist for law enforcement.
Mr. Mosichuk insists the gas used was a "common gas" like an anaesthetic, which "has nothing to do with battle, the military, or poisonous substances." The official silence about how to treat it is "natural," he adds, because "that information might allow future terrorists to prevent such an outcome."
Already, some argue that the Russians have given up too much operational detail, simply by being forced to conduct the storming of the theater in downtown Moscow. "Even the detailed coverage of the operation on TV means terrorists will be better prepared next time, and they will have masks and they will check up all the ventilation systems," an unnamed special forces soldier told the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper. "Many things do have to stay secret."

BBtv is launching a series of episodes featuring author, PC, and minor television personality John Hodgman, as the world waits breathlessly for the launch of his new book, MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU REQUIRE . We have read it, dear viewer, and it is splendid.
Today, the debut installment of Boing Boing tv's SPAMASTERPIECE THEATER, which Hodgman himself describes as the dramatization of "true tale[s] of romance, adventure, infamy, and low-cost prescription drugs, all culled from the reams of actual, unsolicited emails, received here by us and people like you — what we call SPAM."
We'll be releasing more of these in the coming weeks. Each one is composed exclusively of actual, unadulterated, unsolicited email. Like virtual raw foodists, we would not think of cooking perfect fruit that falls so gracefully from the internet's tree of life.
We hope you enjoy. { fade to black, fade in Hodgman in the library chair, surrounded by spam ephemera}
A note from our musical director: The adaptation of Jean-Joseph Mouret's "Rondeau: Fanfare" (1735) which opens today's episode was remixed in flagrante 8-bit by Hamhocks Buttermilk Johnson.

Classical Music in the Afternoon May 4, 2012
Maestro Giunta, music director of the Des Moines Symphony Orchestra, joins host Jacqueline Halbloom to discuss the final concert of the DMSO's 2011-2012 season. In this concert, scheduled for May 12 and 13, 2012, pianist Barry Douglas makes his Iowa debut with the Des Moines Symphony playing Rachmaninoff's blazing third piano concerto. The orchestra's Spirit of America season concludes with perhaps the most quintessentially American work – Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story.

I think Romano's going to lose it when he gets back...

If I have an AR chambered in .223 and a .223 bolt action, what would I rather use for coyote hunting at ranges of 200-400 yards ? Is there a big FPS differential? And is it more accurate than the AR?

I use both,a RRA 20" varminter and a Savage 12FLVSS 26". While the RRA is a proven 1/2-3/4" shooter,the Savage will out shoot it any day of the week with the same type bullets. There's a little difference in velocity,but a good bolt action will out shoot an AR almost everytime. For shooting coyotes,they both will do the job at the ranges you listed,so it's all about what you want.
Ok cool thanks for the reply.. If the ranges are pushed out farther than that at about 500-550 is the bolt action better?
It will depend on the barrel twist rate,and the bullet that is used. Varmint bullets are usually 60gr or less,and the wind can really push them around at that kind of range. Heavier Match grade bullets have no problem shooting that far,but I don't use them for hunting,they're designed to punch holes in targets not animals.
Thats kinda pushing it for hunting its so very hard to hit a head shot on a yota at 500+yds. You better cuttin it a 400 max and movin up to a 30-06 or 308win. If you want a longer range.
you pew pew pew lately bro!?
The bolt action. No question about it. Not even a contest. The bolt action all the way. ct
Ok cool thanks guys

By now, my hair is long again,
and curls around my neck. It has
uncombed itself in grief,
and is thick and slick with oil.
At times, it seems to hiss
from mirrors, or from the edge of sleep.
Such are snakes: Split
from end to end, their tongues
are treacherous and whisper:
"She will be back."
I long for Fakirs, or a flute to soothe and stop
the simple, the snivelling snake. To sing
a song of silence, and of India,
its waters warm and ever-blue - O India!
To be far away, and warm.
I have never been to India, and here
the days are cold. My hair
is all that is here for me to bear.
The snow is cold, and the wind is cold.
From my nose, something presses at my eyes.
And so:
Snakeskin is cold, but I will not
go bald. A story is better than none,
a song of sorrow can still be sweet.

This has Race written all over itSubmitted by Scally Wag (not verified) on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 9:29pm.
If the victim were black and the assailant white this would already be a national story with civil rights leaders crawling all over the place. This kind of explanation from the D.A. would NEVER be accepted by the black community especially in the wake of the Jena 6 hoopla. The D.A. has to be very cautious of the race issue in these days and times. With what happened to Peyton Strickland and this poor boy the black community should see that as far as in Wilmington it is not always them that gets the short end of the stick.

text: By Bryan Gapinski Sun Prairie,Wis., June 13, 2004--Scott Hatton extended his Badger Midget Series point lead, capturing the 25-lap feature Sunday Night at Angell Park Speedway. The win was his 17th career at the facility. Boyd Calvert paced the initial six laps of the feature before retiring with a broke pump belt. Calvert's car stalled on the track bringing out the caution. On the restart Michael Kendall of Auckland, New Zealand led Australian Adam Clarke, Randy Koch, Davey Ray, and Hatton. Rookie Billy Wood Jr., flipped on the restart, escaping injury. Kendall paced the next two laps before Brian Terry flipped on the backstretch also escaping injury. On the restart Brandon Waelti passed Kendall for the lead. Waelti's lead was short lived as one lap Hatton took the lead on the tenth circuit. Hatton set a blistering pace and at the midway point held a 2.84 second lead over Ray. Hatton began lapping the tail of the field with ten laps remaining. Randy Koch stopped on the track for a flat tire setting up a six lap shootout between Hatton, and Ray. Hatton led Ray by three car lengths the remainder of the distance to score the win driving the Huston Solution Racing Stealth-Mopar. Rounding out the top ten were: Chad DeSelle, Don Droud, Clarke, Kevin Doty, Waelti, Kendall, Cody Wisensel, and John Jones. The next series event will be on June 20 at Angell Park Speedway. The scheduled July 3 Badger/IRA Sprint Car Series doubleheader at the Davenport (Iowa) Speedway has been postponed.

How are you assigning IP address and default gw? It would also be useful to know IP's and subnets so I can work out what sort of IP scheme you are using. How are you assigning nameserver? Can you ping an internet IP but not a hostname (indicates resolution error). Do you use DHCP or static. DO these router/firewall devices do NAT? Simon

Lookout House by Ike Kligerman Barkley Architects
Lookout House, this single-family luxury residence was recently completed by Ike Kligerman Barkley Architects.
The original pyramid form of the house was lightened and simplified with a contemporary material palette like bamboo floors and a new lighting program.
The new suite is a large volume enclosing a smaller one and in this case, a freestanding cube that divides the sleeping and bath areas.
The Lookout House is located in Fairfield County, Connecticut and a sustainable project connects the main house with the master suite.
