Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Mr. X's dastardly ways necessitate new fence
Forgive me if I get a little misty-eyed, but our lives will never be the same.
This is because my wife and I have done the unthinkable -- we put up a fence in the backyard.
We erected this fence in the traditional manner, by which I mean we hired two Fence Guys to build it for us.
In about two hours on the hottest day of the year, they installed a black chain-link fence along the thin band of trees that had been the only thing separating our backyard from our neighbour's side yard.
We didn't really want to be fenced off from our wonderful neighbours, but Mr. X didn't give us a choice.
Regular readers will recall Mr. X is our newest dog, a small, white creature who is larger than a grapefruit but smaller than a mature watermelon. He resembles some sort of tiny experimental sheep, but his spindly white legs and fluffy ears belie the fact he has the heart of a lion and a damn-the-torpedoes-full-speed-ahead approach to life.
The problem was, Mr. X devoted every waking hour to lying in the sun, staring at the old fence along the side of our yard, waiting patiently for the sound of an innocent pedestrian strolling along the sidewalk on the other side.
When this happened -- and it happened several times a day -- Mr. X would instantly transform from a harmless cotton swab into the canine version of the Incredible Hulk, emitting terrifying squeaks and squeals to convey to the hapless passerby on the sidewalk that, if he could only leap over the side fence, he would commit unspeakable canine crimes on their ankles.
Then he would bolt along the fence at the side, through the line of trees at the back and burst into our neighbour's yard, where he would strut around like a tiny cocksure prizefighter and refuse to return, giving my wife and I scornful looks as we shrieked his name in what we hoped was a threatening manner.
Without fail, he would give us a look of utter defiance, assume the power crouch and, as we watched in absolute horror, deposit a small gift in the middle of the neighbour's yard.
At this point, dressed in my flip-flops and fuzzy blue bathrobe -- which would fit a Munchkin but is way too revealing on someone the size of a major kitchen appliance -- I would creep ninja-like into our neighbour's yard and, armed with a plastic Safeway bag and a poop-stained red kiddie shovel, scoop up the offending item with as much stealth as humanly possible, then slink away, my dignity in tatters and my bathrobe flapping in the cool summer breeze.
Tired of the stench of humiliation and poop -- and sick of stubbing our toes on the neighbour's rock garden in pursuit of a defiant pet -- we installed the black chain-link fence, which has the amazing characteristic of being virtually invisible as it sits there amid the trees and shrubs at the back of the yard.
And so, on Day 1 of the new fence, Mr. X was parked in his usual spot when someone brazenly walked past on the sidewalk beside the side fence, prompting him to fly into action, dash madly through the trees and -- KABOING! -- discover one of the basic laws of physics: It is impossible for a small white dog, no matter how fast it is moving, to pass through a chain-link fence.
Fortunately, the only thing Mr. X hurt was his pride. After patrolling the back of the yard, searching in vain for a hole in this new line of defence, he strutted over and stared up at me with what I can only describe as a look of shock mixed with betrayal.
When his moist, beady eyes locked on mine, he transmitted this grief-stricken, one-word telepathic message: "Why?"
Then, his small black nose seriously out of joint, he demanded to be let back in the house. I laughed a silent but cruel laugh, rubbed my hands in glee and savoured one of life's small victories.
At least I did until I discovered the unspeakable crime Mr. X had committed on my fuzzy blue bathrobe.

We had such a wonderful stay at this Aguada beachfront home! The property was perfect for our group of two couples and one toddler and could have easily accommodated larger families. Everything was clean and comfortable and we all enjoyed lounging and eating on the large deck. The pictures don't do justice to the incredible view from the deck! There is no oven or dishwasher, but otherwise the kitchen had everything we needed and we ate most of our meals at home. The beach is mostly used by the few villas in the area, so it was very quiet and nice to walk. Unfortunately, the surf was too strong for swimming during our visit, but we enjoyed watching a handful of surfers every morning and evening. We found nice swimming on the western-facing beaches of Rincon (15 min drive) and Playa Crash Boat in Aguadilla (30 min drive). Many thanks to the owners, who welcomed us and were always available via text.
We researched many places to stay before deciding on this beach house. This beach house is the place to stay. The open concept kitchen /living room with 10 foot ceilings and a large window looking onto the spacious balcony and ocean is amazing. We only ate out 4 times in our 7 day stay because the kitchen was so accommodating. The balcony is so big and nearly half the square footage of the interior of the house itself, with 4 hammocks, table and chairs, picnic table, lounge chairs and bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet. We found so many shells on the beach!!!. My husband and daughters loved playing and swimming in the warm water of the beautiful ocean. Large carport to park two vehicles with gate locked behind. We are very thankful to Lillian and Maximino for renting their beach home to us.
We enjoyed a week at this home. We wanted something that was on a quieter beach without all the crowds and this fit the bill! Everything was as the pictures showed. The kitchen was well equipped (no oven, but didn't miss!) and we enjoyed the hammocks! I appreciated that there were beach towels and air conditioning in the bedrooms. You were just a stones throw from the water. (in fact sometimes the waves were so loud we shut the windows!) We found lovely snorkeling nearby at Seven Steps beach and many other fun things. The home was clean and the owners were there to meet us and show us around. It was a great house for our family of five to hang out and play games at night, and play in the water during the day.
Pictures do not do this place justice! We needed a place big and private enough for my husband and I, my sister and her boyfriend (18 & 20), my 2 younger sisters and younger brother (teens 14, 15 & 17), my grandmother, my 2 boys (5 & 11). My grandmother's only request was that it be beachfront... she wanted to hear the waves at night and enjoy the beach during the day. This place fits the bill like no other.
There are three decent sized bedrooms and all have A/C. My husband and I took the "master bedroom" (the only room with 1 bed in it). The beds were mostly all comfortable, although the teens could be picky so I am not sure I would take their complaints all to seriously about the softness of the bunk beds... There are two bathrooms, but one is on the porch/deck so you have to leave the inside of the house to use it... not a big deal, just something to note. The outdoor living space is really the most amazing part of this apartment... it is large and has plenty of seating. We really enjoyed the hammocks all day long... and the bench/table thing we used at night to play cards/dominoes. There is a grill out on the deck/patio that we used to grill dinner a few nights while we were there. There is no oven... which is not a big deal... my husband is a baker and wanted to make my dad something while we were there. There is also no dryer... but plenty of clothing lines to dry your clothes.
There are a few shacks on the main route that is like 5 minutes away.. they have great food at decent prices. You must try some of the smoothies... the best we have ever had!
It was a little difficult to find the place once you need to turn off the main route... the directions say "mango tree" I had no idea what a mango tree looked like when we first got there... and there were no mangoes on the tree! LOL but we figured it out with the help of the people the owner had meet us.
It was overall an epic vacation... we enjoyed the beach 24/7... the kids even swam at night. We got to see baby turtles hatch right in front of the house... amazing. We had family come over and enjoy the beach and the amazing sunsets. The teens explored up and down the beach daily (it is a long and mostly secluded beach). There are tons of tiny crabs that come out at night... but they all run away... trust me - the teens tried to catch them several times ;-)
Stay at this place!! It is so worth it!
This is our second vacation renting this house. We get a big group of 5-6 families and rent 3 houses that are next to each other. The location is just perfect for us - situated right on the beach, quiet morning walks along the beach, and colourful local life. Only 20 minutes from public Crash Boat beach and beautiful Step Beach. Don't forget to visit local Panederia Eileen. Try the ribs and guava pastry. We sure will be coming again.
The house is as advertised: very spacious and comfortable. Lillian and Maximino were good landlords and easy to contact. This was our third time to PR but first time visiting Aguada and we will be back! The best thing about this house is the amazing terrace that provides beautiful ocean views. We enjoyed the hammocks, lounge chairs, and picnic table. The house is right on the beach and we spent many hours walking along the beach swimming and beachcombing. The beach front in the area is not very developed so there is a bit of a private, faraway, peaceful feeling. Definitely the vacation that we needed away from a cold upstate NY winter!
We mostly enjoyed the beach but also took a quick drive to Rincon and when we left to head to Luquillo, we stopped at the Camuy Caves. It was a great drive and definitely worth the stop!
Gracias, Lillian and Maximino!

would someone please id my houseplant
my lil clearance houseplant :)
Would it be the plant on the right? Hard to be sure, a bit blurry, but looks from here like a Ficus pumila, aka Creeping Fig. Nice plant. I have a bit I started from a cutting.
I'm thinking creeping ficus aka Ficus pumila. I like this plant a lot! Make sure you keep this one moist ALL the time. Even slightly drying out and it's done. Extra humidity might also be helpful as this plants leaves are extremely thin. They seem to like medium to bright light. As I said though...keep it watered. I've lost several of these due to drying out. Good luck with it. I'm going to try them again myself. Nice plant for a clearance. Btw... There are also variegated varieties that are even more beautiful than the plain green; even a variety known as oak leaf creeping fig. Kyle
yeah that is it...thanks so much yes it was a great buy thanks for the tip on the moist soil. i know what the one to the left is pirate girl that is my adenium obesum i have grown from seed, i have about 27 varieties i am presently growing and those happen to be the fattest seedlings of all of them. i moved them all outside for the summer and they are on the porch of my building. dh has his building and i have mine. course mine is way cuter cause i decorated it all up :)

Fourie set to remain a Stormer
ESPNscrum Staff
October 19, 2011
Fourie impressed for the Springboks during the World Cup © Getty Images
Springboks centre Jaque Fourie looks set to stay in South Africa despite overtures from Japan.
The 29-year-old is a man in demand after an impressive World Cup for the Boks and after Bryan Habana reportedly committed his future to the Western Province, Fourie looks set to follow in his wake and stay a Stormers player for the 2012 Super Rugby campaign. One option he may pursue is rather than playing in the 2012 Currie Cup, he may be granted a sabbatical to ply his trade in Japan, but that may harm his international prospects.
After seeing the likes of Francois Louw, CJ Van der Linde and Peter Grant - who will probably return to the Stormers for the Super Rugby campaign - depart to pastures new, Province managing director Rob Wagner was a pleased man when he spoke of Fourie's decision to commit to the Stormers.
"Jaques is staying," Wagner told the Cape Times. "I can't say what the length of the new contract is as we are still busy negotiating further details, but I can say that he is staying. All the other Boks have already signed contracts to play for us."

Introduction: The present study is aimed at evaluating the anti-proliferative and apoptotic of Costus pictus on
MOLT- 4 human cancer cell line, and also evaluating its safety to normal human lymphocytes.
Materials and Methods: Dried leaves of C. pictus plant were used for aqueous and alcohol extraction. Different
concentration of these were evaluated for their cytotoxicity by trypan blue dye exclusion method and 3-(4, 5-
dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay on the cancer cell line (Human acute
lymphoblastic leukemia) MOLT- 4 and normal cell line (Human peripheral lymphocytes). The apoptic potential was
analyzed by DNA fragmentation analysis of the treated cells.
Results: The ethnolic extract of C.pictus was found to be anti-proliferative and cytotoxic at lower concentration and
induced cell death in MOLT- 4 cells. The ethanolic extract at the same concentration had no cytotoxicity on normal
lymphocytes. Campared to the ethanolic extract, aqueous and methanol extracts were less effective.
Conclusion: the present investigation, for the first time, reveals the anticancer potential of the ethanolic extract of
C.pictus on MOLT- 4 cells. It is very likely that the result can be extrapolated to animal or human system. The
extracts can be used for further purification of the active component for future application.
Keywords: Costus pictus, Lymphocytes, MTT assay, Cytotoxicity
Medicinal plants are frequently used by traditional healers to treat various ailments and symptoms, including
diabetes and cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death after cardiovascular diseases in India. [1] Cancer
cells, which are already irreversibly developed, obtain the capability to escape apoptosis by a number of ways.

The role of anticancer agents is to trigger the apoptosis-signaling system in these cancer cells while disturbing
their proliferation. [2] Zingiberaceae plants are well known for their medicinal properties and many of these
species are effectively used in the treatment of disease. Curcuma longa L., for example, has proven anticancer
properties. [3] The rhizomes of these plants possess several biologic activities such as antioxidant,[4] cytotoxic,
and antitumor properties.[5-7] Costus pictus, commonly known as 'Spiral ginger', 'Step ladder', or 'Insulin plant'
is a member of Zingiberaceae family and is newly introduced plant in India, originated probably in Mexico. In
India, it is grown in gardens, especially in the state of Kerala; here, patients with diabetes consume the fresh raw
leaves. In vitro studies on methanol, aqueous ethyl acetate, and ethanol extract of C.pictus have revealed good
inhibitory effect on carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes like α-glucosidase and α-amylase. [8]Toxicity studies and
antidiabetic activity of methanol extract of this plant have been reported previously. [9-10] Since there are no
earlier reports about testing the anticancer property of C.pictus, we tried to evaluate potential anticancer effect of
C.pictus ethanol, aqueous and methanol extracts on MOLT- 4 cell line and also their effects on human peripheral
Selection of medicinal plant
Costus pictus (insulin plant) was collected in the month of August 2010, from IIIM Medicinal garden, Jammu,
India, and identified by Dr. S. N. Sharma, a senior scientist in the Botany Division of the Indian Institute of
Integrative Medicine (IIIM), Jammu, India. A voucher specimen was retained and deposited at the crude drug
repository of the herbarium of IIIM, Jammu. The leaves were shade dried, reduced to coarse powder and stored
in airtight container till further use.
Extraction using ethanol
The dried leaves of the plant (50 g) were crushed, soaked in 75 ml of ethanol (80% v/v) for 24 h and then
percolated (5 h, 30 drops/min). The extract obtained was concentrated by a rotary evaporator and dried in oven at
40°C. Then 20 mg of solid residue was dissolved to 100 ml with distil water. The resulting solution was filtered
through 0.22 micro filters. The dilution was continued so that final concentration of extract was 40, 80 and
120µg/ml. [11]
Extraction using methanol
Dried leaf samples were ground using an electric blender. Two grams of ground material was soaked in 25 ml of
methanol for 24 h and was filtered using filter paper. The material was again mixed with 25 ml of fresh methanol
and filtered after 24 h. The process was repeated (25 ml x 3 times).The filtrate was then transferred to vials and
allowed to dry. Dry extract was resuspended in 2ml of DMSO. The concentration of extract was 1mg/ml. [12] The
dilution was continued so that final concentrations of extracts used were 40, 80, and 120µg/ml.
Aqueous extraction
Dried plant (50 g) was ground and mixed with 1 L boiling distilled water for 1 h. The mixture was filtered twice
through a funnel by using suction pump. The extract was evaporated under reduced pressure till completely dry
in a lyophilizer. The extract (1 mg/ml) was prepared by dilution of the stock with sterile distilled water. [13]
Cell line selected
Human peripheral lymphocytes were isolated in the laboratory and MOLT- 4 cell line was procured from
National Center for Cell Sciences (NCCS) Pune, India. MOLT-4 (Human acute lymphoblastic leukemia) cells
were grown in complete DMEM medium (2mM L-glutamine, 100g/ml of streptomycin, and 100U/ml of
penicillin) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and maintained in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator at
37°C. Cells were seeded at a density of 1X105cells/ml, except where otherwise indicated.
Isolation of lymphocytes
Lymphocytes were obtained from the blood of five healthy male and female individuals, of age about 20 years,
apparently free from infection by pathogenic agents, and had not been under any treatment for the last six
months. Hisep medium (HIMEDIA, India) was used for the isolation. Cells were suspended in complete RPMI

1640 medium supplement with 10% fetal bovine serum (HIMEDIA, India), 5g/ml phytohemagglutinin (PHA),
and maintained at 37°C in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator. Lymphocytes were used as control cells to assess the
cytotoxicity of plant extracts.
Determination of cell concentration and viability by Trypan blue dye exclusion
At the end of treatment period, the cells were counted with the aid of hemocytometer and cells viability was
determined by trypan blue dye exclusion method. Trypan blue was prepared at a concentration of 0.4% in
phosphate buffered saline (PBS). [14]
MTT assay
MTT assay was performed to assess the cytotoxicity of the plant extracts. (MTT is a yellow dye, which is
reduced into purple formazan crystals by the activity of mitochondrial succinate dehydrogenase enzyme in viable
cells). Cells were cultured in 96- well microtiter plates. Cells were treated with varying concentration of plant
extracts for 24 h (9 wells for each concentration) and incubated. At the end of treatment period, to each well, 20
µl of MTT was added. After addition of MTT, the plates were incubated for 3 h in a dark chamber. Then, 100 µl
of DMSO was added to dissolve the formazan crystals. The absorbance was read at 540 nm using ELISA reader. [15]
Analysis of DNA fragmentation
In a medium containing 10% FBS, 1.0X105 cells were incubated for 24 h. After 24 h, cells were treated with
C.pictus leaf, (aqueous, methanol, and ethanol) at different concentrations. After 24 h, cells were collected by
trypsinization; cells from different wells of the same concentration were pooled and rinsed twice in cold PBS (PH
7.4). Genomic DNA was extracts from MOLT- 4 cells as described earlier.[16] Briefly, cells were re-suspended
twice in a lysis buffer containing 1% Nonidet-P40, 20mM Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and 50 mM
Tris-HCl at PH 8. The cells were centrifuge at 1,600g for 10 min, recovered supernatant were combined and
incubated with 0.5 mg/ml RNase A (Bangalore Genei, India) at 37°C for 4 h. The DNA was precipitated by the
addition of 1/10 volume of 7.5 M ammonium acetate and two volumes of ethanol and analyzed by agarose gel
Morphology observation under inverted microscope
Morphological changes were observed under the 40X lens of an inverted microscope and photographs were taken.
Statistical analysis
All experiments were carried out in triplicates. The results were calculated as mean±standard error (SE) values.
Statistical significance was calculated using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student's test. A value
of P<0.05 was taken as statistically significant.
When different concentrations of C.pictus were added to normal lymphocytes, the aqueous extract induced
proliferation in the lymphocytes. The cell concentration and cell survival both increased, as the concentration of
the extract increased [Figure 1]. The ethanol extract had no effect on the lymphocytes. Methanol extract showed
slight cytotoxicity when compared to the other two extracts.

When cell count was taken by hemocytometry, it was observed that [Figure 2] the ethanol extract had no
significant effect on the peripheral blood lymphocytes, where as the methanol extract was slightly cytotoxic and
the aqueous extract had increased the cell count significantly.

C.pictus aqueous extract administered to MOLT- 4 cells at 40 and 80 µg/ml concentration showed slight
cytotoxicity, through it was not significant. The ethanol extract was highly cytotoxic; reducing the cell viability
to less than 50% at 120 µg/ml concentrations (IC50) value was found to be 120 µg/ml from the graph.

As the concentration of the extract increased, cell viability decreased. The methanol extract was cytotoxic at 80
and 120 µg/ml concentration. By trypan blue dye exclusion method, the cell concentration and cell viability were
determined with the help of a hemocytometer [Figure 4].
Figure 5: DNA fragmentation assay of HT-1080 cells treated with different concentrations of C. pictus
ethanol extract for 24 h. Lane C- control, Lane 3- 40 μg/ml, Lane 2- 80 μg/ml, and Lane 1- 120 μg/ml of C.
pictus ethanol extract.
The ethanol extract (120 µg/ml) had reduced the cell concentration to half of that of the control. The ethanol
extract was safe to normal human lymphocytes but has shown cytotoxicity to the cancer cell line.
DNA fragmentation was tested by agarose gel electrophoresis. [Figure 5] indicates a significant increase in inter-
nucleosomal DNA fragmentation of MOLT-4 cells. When the DNA isolate from C.pictus-treated cells was
subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis, a DNA ladder characteristic of apoptotic DNA was observed in the cells
treated with different concentration of the ethanol extract.
The morphology of MOLT-4 cells was observed under the inverted microscope, and it was obvious that the
control cells were firmly attached to the substrate [Figure 6] and C.pictus (80 µg/ml) - treated cells started
becoming round and were detached [Figure 7] from the substrate. The ethanol extract had induced apoptosis in
the fibrosarcoma cells.

Accumulating evidence suggests that many dietary factors may be used alone or in combition with traditional
chemotherapeutic agents to prevent or treat cancer. The main disadvantage of using natural or dietary
compounds as anticancer remedy is that they seem to have low toxicity and show very few adverse side effects.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe), is widely used all over the world as a spice and condiment in daily cooking.
It has been shown to have anticancer and antioxidant effects.[17] The antidiabetic activity of the aqueous, ethanol
ethyl acetate and methanol extract of C.pictus has been reported earlier. [8-10] Effect of C.pictus on glucose uptake
by L6 myotube cell line ((Skeletal muscle) has also been reported. [18] However, to best of our knowledge, this is
the first report on the first report on the cytotoxic activity of C.pictus on any human cancer cell line.
In conclusion, the result of the present work show that the ethanol extract of C.pictus activated the apoptotic
pathway in (Human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line) MOLT- 4 cells. The ability of the extract to trigger
and execute apoptosis in cancer cells is unclear but the MTT assay suggests a mitochondrial involvement.
Anticancer activity of the ethanol extract of C.pictus has not been reported in literature. In our present in vitro
study through MTT assay, Trypan blue dye-exclusion method, and DNA fragmentation analysis, we confirm the
pro-apoptotic and anticancer potential of C.pictus ethanol extract. The IC50 value was found to be 120µg/ml.
Additionally; it was revealed that the key bioactive compound was in the ethanol fraction, showing its promising
anticancer drugs used in cancer therapy are toxic and have adverse side effects. Thus, studies pinpointing
confirmed efficacy of a particular fraction or compound among several found in crude extract are important for
therpeacutic purpose. Although the efficacy of C.pictus ethanol extract has presently been tested against an in
vitro cancer cell line, it is very likely that the result can be extrapolated to animal or human systems. However, to
determine this, more experiments should be carried out on in vivo animal models, which will hopefully be taken
up in the next phase of our program.

dump of assembler code for function main:

0x0000000100000dee <main+8>: mov %edi,-0x14(%rbp)
I learned
mov %rsp,%rbp means
move the value of rsp to rbp
But I knew in Intel architecture, that would mean
move the value of rbp to rsp
According to Intel manual(Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual. Volume 2. 3-104 MOV instruction),
mov a, b should mean
move b to a
sub instuction is the same.
I knew
sub a,b means
a = a-b. But here
sub $0x30, %rsp means
rsp = rsp - 0x30
What's wrong with me?

So my vote goes to the Skullmasher.
Previous Winners:
Shield: The Sham (31.58%)
Pistol: Unkempt Harold (45.45%)
Assault Rifle: Shredifier (43.04%)
Shotgun: Conference Call (50.78%)
Halo 4 was the best Call of Duty.
It has more flexibility, and the splitting rounds can do serious work to cyrsalisks and especially Loaders, something you will be fighting constantly after around the midpoint in campaign.
The Masher doesn't feel the same.
What is a man?!
A miserable little pile of secrets!
I find the Skullmasher exceedingly underwhelming when you're actually using it as a sniper rifle. The pellet spread on it is just atrocious and makes for little to no damage when used at a distance. Maybe a perfect Skullmasher with the accuracy accessory might remedy this problem seeing as it'd cut the pellet spread in half.
Anywho, my vote goes to the Volcano all day every day. It gets some outrageous damage when it procs on that 80% damage boost. And I love dual wielding Volcanoes with my Gunzerkerrrr.
Some doors are best left closed, because once open, they're easy to walk through again and again.

Single bump
Halo 4 was the best Call of Duty.
White Death/Lyuda for sure. The first Legendary that every dropped for me and still always a part of my every load out. You just can't beat that fire rate, great sniper to no scope.
Pitchfork is always fun too, that would be second. And then the Cobrahhh
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain
GT: Althea N Hell
honestly none of them. prefer blues and purples in the sniper realm.

Take it for what it is. Hes asking about favorite legendary sniper rifles, not favorite in general.
What is a man?!
A miserable little pile of secrets!
Although theyre not legendaries. I love the cobra(my favorite in this game thus far) and the pimpernel. Theyre effects are so awesome. But in terms of legendaries only, i guess i'd say the skullmasher
Thank you Based God
I voted Pitchfork. Corrosive one on Loaders is just too good. White Death is also nice.

They even carted off my reloading set ups. Both of them!
Now if that hadn't happened...I might note how there is a sort of pause in the auctions and classifieds at the moment, awaiting the King's decrees. I'd imagine if the King decrees what is expected, we'll see those sales go to all NEW heights of insanity like the NYSE trading floor on news of an asteroid the size of Texas coming.

Brother Rye, Rodeo Bums
High Noon Saloon
701A E. Washington Ave
Madison, WI, 53703
This event is 21 and over
Brother Rye
Brother Rye plays Americana driven by slide guitar and rock sensibility. They have found the perfect blend of Delta blues, country, and folk styles, leading them to their well-tailored sound.
Rodeo Bums
Rodeo Bums are a ragtag bunch of musicians, some born in Wisconsin and some drawn here by fate, who play the kind of music sung only by those who have lived hard enough to mean it. Theirs is country with a rock n' roll attitude, in the immortal vein of Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard.
After living the kind of life that makes for great stories, Kurt Klinger arrived in Madison around 2005 with a vaga
bond's heart and a pitbull's smile. He has played his way across the Western states--from Portland to Tempe to Austin--gathering faded tattoos and busted teeth along the way. The simplicity of his songs would work just as well for punk as it does for Americana, yet concealed beneath the surface is the depth and universality common to all great songwriters.
Kurt is joined here in Madison by Scott Carome on Lead Guitars and vocals, and two members of Madison Surf metal legends Knuckel Drager- Kurt Johnson on Bass guitar, and Dave Dorst on drums.

Racine apartments for rent can be found in each of the distinct neighborhoods that make up the city. Located in southern Wisconsin along the shores of Lake Michigan, Racine's 332 square miles are home to around 80,000 people, including students, business professionals and families.
A notable harbor with ample facilities for boats and boaters, a downtown district with specialty shops and restaurants, and diversified neighborhoods and architecture worth bragging about, certainly give Racine a great deal to offer people from all backgrounds. The city's location on the lake, with close proximity to Chicago and Milwaukee, is another one of Racine's perks that makes it a highly accessible city with just the right amount of connections.
Explorers La Salle and Tonti discovered Racine in 1679 while searching for a route to the Mississippi River. The Potawatomi tribe lived and had rights to the land until 1833 when the U.S. government made an agreement with the tribe to purchase roughly 5 million acres of land, including what is now known as Racine. Racine was eventually founded in 1834.
The Racine On The Lake Festival Park marina complex was built in the 1980s, leading to an increase in tourists, in particular from Chicago and Milwaukee. According to City-Data, the waterfront community of Racine continues to offer many tourist attractions, including sports and festivals as well as cultural attractions.
Racine apartments are excellent ways to experience all this city has to offer, from the interesting architecture to the Lake Michigan shoreline and the Root River.
Racine apartments are attractive options for business professionals and students living in the city. City-Data revealed that important parts of Racine's economy continue to be small business industries. Racine County is home to more than 300 manufacturing firms, with a significant portion residing in the city of Racine. One top business that has its headquarters in Racine and is a major employer of the area is S.C. Johnson Wax, which is well-known around the globe for manufacturing chemical products for household use, insect control and personal care.
The city of Racine does not have many large universities or colleges directly within its borders. However, the University of Wisconsin, Parkside, enrolls nearly 5,000 students on its campus, which is located between Racine and Kenosha. Rentals near Racine are popular choices for students attending nearby Marquette University and the Milwaukee School of Engineering.
According to information gathered by the U.S. Census Bureau in the 2006-2010 American Community Survey, Racine rentals have a vacancy rate of 8.1 percent. The median rent as of 2010 was $677, and the majority of renters, 42.4 percent, fall in the gross rent range of $500 to $749. Roughly 85 percent of all renters fall in the wider gross rent range of $300 to $999. Nearly half of all renters report spending 35 percent or more of their household income on gross rental costs.
City-Data information revealed that in March 2012, the cost of living in Racine was assigned a value of 97.7 points, which is near the national average of 100 points.
There are many attractions within easy reach of Racine apartments. As Lake Michigan and the Root River, which empties into it, are two keys to life in Racine, there are many attractions that have sprung up from the shoreline. Many visitors and locals enjoy the picturesque views of the lake from Cliffside Park and take dips in the waters of North Beach. Festival Hall can also be found on the shore, overlooking the harbor. Another very familiar and popular area attraction is the Wind Point Lighthouse, standing at 112 feet tall and built in 1880 to guide boaters on the lake safely into the harbor.
Along the Root River, you will find a number of trails for hiking, parks for other recreational use and the river itself, which is popular for kayaking and fishing.
