Artificial recharge and conservation of ground water has assumed high
importance in augmenting the fast depleting resources needed for agriculture, industries
and drinking purposes. NCR has taken up several recharge and conservation projects in
different hydrogeological terrains of Madhya Pradesh to demonstrate the efficacy of
various recharge structures in making the public aware of the benefits of such works based
on sound scientific inputs. It is however, imperative to have full understanding of the
hydrogeology for planning any groundwater conservation and artificial recharge scheme as
the occurrence movement and availability of ground water in M.P. is controlled by its
widely heterogeneous nature of rocks. Madhya Pradesh state has taken a lead in integrated
watershed management under Rajiv Gandhi Watershed Mission with commendable input of
"Peoples participation". However , in such mass movement by providing
general and technical assistance to state Govt. in execution of artificial recharge
schemes at selected sites to provide models which can be replicated elsewhere. The salient
features of these projects are as follows:
Roof top rain water
harvesting, PHE colony, Musakhedi, Indore Madhya Pradesh.
Indore city is highly
urbanized and developed with a high percentage of paved area resulting in reduction of
natural ground water recharge and increased rainfall run off. Decline of water levels and
depletion of yield in tubewells and dugwells has become a problem of vital concern. The
cause of this problem has been over-drawal of ground water. Indore town is occupied by
Deccan Trap basaltic lava and a succession of five basaltic flows has been mapped.
Weathered/vesicular/fractured jointed basalts form aquifers in the area. Hydrogeology of
the area dictates the necessity of recharge wells which can directly augment the available
ground water at deeper level. In the PHED colony, Musakhedi, office buildings, having
sloping roofs, covering an area of 2710 sq. m were selected for roof top rainwater
harvesting. The total quantum of water available on rooftop works out to be 2520 m3. Out
of this the water available for recharge is 2142 m3. This roof top rainfall has been
diverted to a recharge well through channels after being passed through a filtration
chamber. A piezometer of 60 m depth has been drilled in the campus and installed with a
digital water level reorder to assess the impact of roof top rain water harvesting.
The hydrograph of the
DWLR was carrelated with the rainfall data and it was found that there was a peak in the
hydrograph corresponding to the rainfall. The water level had risen from 13.0 bmp to 9.25
mbmp in mid. September after which there is a gradual decline. This has effectively
demonstrated the efficacy of rooftop rainfall harvesting in urban areas underlain by
basaltic terrain.
Rooftop rain water
harvesting in Dewas city, Dewas district Madhya Pradesh
Dewas city located in the
Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh is one of the highly water scarce areas of M.P. water was
even brought by special water trains in the past. A low cost filter as per specification
of CHPHEED, New Delhi to filter the rooftop rain water before being recharged to the
aquifer was developed by Bhujal Samvardhan Mission, Dewas under technical inputs from
Central Ground Water Board, Bhopal. In Dewas city and surrounding areas, 1000 houses
having service tubewells were selected where rooftop rain all was diverted to the tubewell
via a drainage pipe after being passed through the online filter. A digital water level
recorder installed in the premises of the district court Dewas revealed that there was
instantaneous recharge to ground water after the rains. It has been established that there
has also been a marked increase in the discharge of tubewells and improvement in quality
of water being obtained from tubewells utilizing rooftop rain water harvesting.
Construction of
recharge shafts in Dewas district:
Dewas district has many
village tanks which overflow during monsoon but dugwells located nearby record deep water
levels. This is because the heavy siltation in tank bed does not allow the surface water
to percolated and recharge the shallow aquifer tapped in dugwells. At some places when the
tanks were desilted during monsoon no surface storage could be created as it acted as a
very good percolation tank. However keeping in view the need of water in village tanks for
Nistar purpose it was felt that artificial recharge technique should be such that in
addition to ground water augmentation some water was available to villagers in the form of
surface water. This situation was considered ideal for construction of recharge shafts in
village shafts in village tanks. To demonstrate the efficacy of such structures CGWB
constructed 14 recharge shafts in five tanks of the district. The water levels in the
nearby dugwells have registered a rise in the water levels after the monsoon.
Tumar watershed,
Mandsaur district, Madhya Pradesh:
Tumar watershed falling
mostly in the Mandsaur block of Mandsaur district is an area decline of water levels is
taking place due to over exploitation of groundwater resources. Studies by NCR indicate
that there has been a decline of ground water levels ranging from 1.25 m to 4.60 m with an
average decline of 3 m between 1979 and 1998. The area also has saline ground water deeper
levels due to which water suitable for irrigation is available in shallow zones only. It
was thus proposed to take up a watershed for pilot project studies in the watershed. In
this watershed one percolation tank two check dams, one cement plug and 19 gabion
structures were constructed for conservation and recharge to ground water aquifer. It was
estimated that these structures would help in conserving and recharging about 700000 cubic
meter of ground water and would bring an additional area of about 225 hectares under
assured irrigation.
Artificial recharge
structures in Rajgarh district:
In the village Barwa
Kalan and surrounding areas of Ajnar sub basin tehsil Biaora, district Rajgarh underlain
by basalts overlain by alluvium there is heavy outflow of ground water to the river in the
form of base flow from the area. To conserve this base flow, so that additional ground
water could be available for irrigation and other uses during the lean season, a
subsurface dykes were constructed across the river Ajnarnear Barwa Kalan village. The
catchment area was 7.2 km2 and the available water for recharging was estimated to be 0.9
MCM. Due to the construction of the subsurface dykes, water levels in the dugwells
registered a rise in the range of 0.80 to 3.80 m, while in the hand pumps the rise was in
the range of 6.0 to 12.0 m. Due to the rise in water levels and the increased water
columns, the yield of dugwells showed a marked increase of 50-100%. Wells which became dry
by January end can now sustain pumping till April end.
Artificial recharge
studies in Londhri watershed, Dewas district M.P.:
In Londhri watershed
lying in Sonkutch tehsil of Dewas district also, there is heavy outflow of ground water to
the Londhri river in the form of base flow. To conserve this base flow , so that
additional ground water could be available for irrigation and other uses during the lean
season subsurface dyke, a boulder check dam and a gabion structure was constructed across
the Londhri river. The watershed is underlain by basaltic lava flows overlain by alluvial
deposits. Due to the construction of the subsurface dyke and related structures, the water
levels in the area have shown a rising trend. The water level in the existing tubewells
increased by 0.30-2.00 and the dugwells which were becoming dry by January end have water
column till the end of April.
Construction of
sub-surface dykes at Dhobighat and Chhintaharan in Utawali watershed block Burhanpur
district Khandwa, M.P.
Dhobighat and Chinta
Hararan streams are parts of Utavali watershed located in Burhanpur block of Khandwa
district M.P. In this watershed streams are generally parallel in nature carrying
tremendous amount of monsoon run off within short span of time due to high gradient of the
area. The depth of phreatic aquifer consisting of granular zone is restricted only down to
36 mbgl. followed by thick clayey bed preventing further downwards percolation of ground
water. At places in the streams section, the depth of this marker bed is tapering against
the granular zone forming springs in alluvial area. During non monsoon period, these
springs are seen oozing out in the course of streams as base flow of ground water within
the alluvial area and finally disappear at the contact of Alluvium and Deccan Trap,
draining into Tapi river through vesicular/fractured basalts. The stream discharge was
recorded to be about 10-12 lps at Dhobighat and Chhinta Haran during the month of
February-March. To prevent the draining of alluvial aquifers, subsurface barriers were
constructed across the streams in its lower section and before the contact of alluvium and
Deccan Trap. The subsurface dykes effectively arrested the out flows of ground water from
the area and helped in conserving ground water outflow. Due to construction of subsurface
dyke, the base flow at Dhobighat has been completely stopped while at Chhintaharan the
rate of base flow has been reduced to on fourth of its earlier flow. The ground water
levels have also registered a rise in the upstream of the dyke.
Construction of
subsurface dyke and related structures at Walmi Farm, Bhopal
The purpose of
construction of the subsurface dyke was to conserve the subsurface base flow of ground
water below the embankment of spill channel of Kaliasote reservoir adjoining the rain
water harvesting tank built across a small hilly nala. The water of the tank was
percolating out at the rate of 10 to 12 cm/day to the spill channel as vesicular basalt
formed the tank bed. The tank was built for irrigation purposes and it was not realized at
that time that the weathered vesicular basalt forming purpose and it was not realized at
that time that the weathered vesicular basalt forming permeable bed in reservoir area
would drain off the stored water into the adjacent spill channel of Kaliasote reservoir.
Several monsoon seasons passed but the water harvesting tank could not be utilized for
irrigation as water stored in the tank did not last even for one month after the monsoons.
A study was conducted by the Central Ground Water Board to solve this problem and it was
conducted that a sub surface dyke on the lower end of the water harvesting tank could
effectively prevent the subsurface outflow of ground water into spill channel. Deccan Trap
basaltic lava flows of the "Malwa Traps" overlying the Upper Bhander (Vindhyan)
sandstone occupy WALMI Farm area.
The subsurface dyke was
constructed in L shape, with long side with about 40 m length at the lower end
of the tank, along the width of the tank and the short side with about 20 m length
continuing parallel to the tank. In order to increase the life of the tank and maintain
longer inflow (surface and subsurface) to ensure exploitation of water for longer period,
about 460 m length of contour trenches (continuous trenches 214 m and staggered trenches
246 m) have been constructed in the catchment area of water harvesting tank. For
construction of nalla bund, puddle clay was embedded between two rows of A.C. sheets along
the cross section of nala and A.C. sheets supported by sand filled bag with non expensive
material ie. sand. These bags were covered by stone pitching with cement grouting. Two
piezometers have been constructed one upstream of the subsurface dyke, down to a depth of
8.25 mbgl and another downstream of the subsurface dyke down to a depth of 6.0 mbgl. Based
on the above studies, it has been inferred that the structure has marginally increased the
water retention period of the tank has shown commendable improvement during the monsoon
following the construction of the sub surface dyke. The average rate of water depletion
has reduced from 10 cm/day to about 6 cm/day. The nala bund has retained about 500 cum of
water with less than 150 mm rainfall for more than 12 days after it stopped raining
recharging the phreatic aquifer. The construction of subsurface dyke contour trenches and
sand bag type nala bund has helped in water conservation groundwater recharge as well as
increase in soil moisture around the water harvesting tank in the WALMI Farm, which is
beneficial for the farm crops/horticulture plantation.
Construction of
subsurface dykes at Chhoti Kasrawad, block Kasrawad, district Khargone
The area is occupied by
Deccan Traps consisting of vesicular weathered fractured and massive basalts with
intertrappean red bole bed. It was observed that ground water seepage, as base flow in
nallas in appreciable due to steep gradient. Ground water level in the area decline very
fast after monsoon and availability of ground water tapped by means of shallow dugwells is
not adequate for irrigation. It was thus planned that ground water can be effectively
stored as subsurface storage in the unsaturated zone/vadose zone by obstructing the base
flow by construction of subsurface dyke. Due to construction of dykes, the base flow was
been reduced substantially. As a consequence ground water levels have risen. The impact is
also reflected in the increase of command area of dugwells in the vicinity of these dykes
as reported by the farmers of the area.
The recharge and
conservation projects as discussed above have been taken up in diverse hydrogeological
terrain of Madhya Pradesh and have demonstrated the efficacy of various recharge
structures that can be constructed keeping in view the local conditions and requirements.
These recharge measures have enhanced the sustainable yield in the areas where over
development has depleted the aquifer, resulted in conservation and storage of excess
surface water for future requirements, since these requirements often change within a
season of period improved the quality of existing ground water by dilution, reduced the
excessive base flow going out of the ground water regime, demonstrated the efficacy of
online domestic filter etc. The techniques adopted are by and large cost effective and can
be replicated by various agencies as well as by the local populace. These measures, if
taken up on a large scale through out the state, may also ultimately lead to drought
proofing of the state.
Perspective Plan for
Artificial Recharge in Madhya Pradesh:
The main artificial
recharge structures proposed are given below along with the estimated cost.
(Rs. Crore)
Apart from
this, there are 19 standard Urban areas in Madhya Pradesh that cover an area of 1321.05
Sq. km. in which a total roof area of about 12.21 Sq.km. is available to collect the roof
top rainfall. The total available water from rooftop rainwater harvesting works out to
12.04 MCM. The average expenditure on providing the necessary arrangements through pipe
fittings, filter etc. to divert the roof water to the existing groundwater structure
(tubewell/dugwell) has been considered as Rs. 10,000/- per house. The total cost for
rooftop rainwater harvesting in the 19 cities of Madhya Pradesh declared as standard Urban
areas works out to 244.18 crores.

They might be bipedal robots piloted by humans, but don't call them mechs--they're Armored Cores. The series has trudged through many systems with regular sequels and side-stories, hitting the current generation once more with Armored Core V. Can the latest iteration make a mark by shifting its focus to online play?
War springs eternal. Various factions are doing what they do best, blasting each other to kingdom come. Most missions offer limited context to the current sortie by identifying enemies and objectives, while the key conquests feature front line voices prattling through voice comms, but the overall output is both melodramatic and inane. There's no sense of your pilot's identity or of those faceless voices reading the wooden script. Ongoing rebellions, commanders with names like Father, and large chunks of anecdotal drivel provide low-grade fuel for an ineffectual propaganda machine, providing a clumsy and tedious backdrop for futuristic battles.
Armored Core's story and sortie missions can be played offline, but the game emphasizes connected gameplay. A human teammate can accompany you on any mission, making the challenging multipart operations you'll sometimes encounter much more survivable. In order to secure help you must form or join a team, which opens up the door to competitive play, persistent territory scuffles against other teams, mock battles and more, shaping this experience into something resembling an MMO with a number of complexities.
Armored Core V is not a friendly game. The manual is thin and in-game documentation is terse, leaving the brunt of comprehension on the community's shoulders. Joining a team online opens up more options as well as automatic updates from your teammates as they go about their business, also throws everyone into a party channel chat as well. With teams supporting many members, clutter can make it a challenge to find the information you actually want.
Regardless if you play solo or on a team, expect to replay missions to earn cash or complete sub-objectives which net even more money, team points, and even unlockable weapons and parts. Customizing your Armored Core, or AC, runs the full gamut, from picking out exacting details on what sort of guns or legs to use, agonizing over stats all the while, to painting your AC and dropping a tramp stamp on the chassis. Again, documentation is poor and it can take a while to figure out what should be simple concepts like weight load and the rock-paper-scissors balance of the weapon and armor system.
An overly complicated design will likely require newcomers to visit message boards just to get up and running, and there's no in-game venue for swapping war stories and pick up tricks of the trade. There are a lot of technical hurdles to overcome before getting into the good stuff, such as creative and often gigantic mechanized bosses. It's rough going to start, but those willing to brave the expanse will find a gripping, if convoluted, simulation-style experience not often found on consoles.
Piloting the game's hulking machines ends up being simpler than navigating its extensive menus. Actually, the ACs you'll be piloting aren't so massive, and even a tanked-out bruiser has the agility to darting across gullies or through side streets. Still, despite the familiar 3rd-person control schemes and humanoid appearance, don't expect controlling an AC to feel like slipping on a second skin.
The ACs are powerful machines, capable of gliding through debris-riddled streets, shifting to scan mode to recover spent energy while scoping out the opposition by jettisoning a recon droid. Locations offer buildings to scale, alleys to duck into and water to float over, providing interesting tactical possibilities for avoidance and ambush.
Your combat efficiency depends on your setup; your stats govern turning speed, boosting ability, battery recharge time, and so forth. The basic controls remain the same, but you'll need to adjust for the feel of your specific machine. Failure in either setup or execution will yield disastrous results.
There's a lot of focus on performing graceful maneuvers with bulky, powerful machines. Weaving in and out of fire to land a punishing kick takes tactical skill, while knowing one's enemies gives you an idea of what weapons or systems to equip to avoid seeing the "ineffectual" indicator flashing on your HUD. Most enemies follow simple routines, with a few surprises saved for AC duels and set pieces like armored trains. Story missions let you call in a remote workshop to patch injuries, restock ammo and swap out weapons, so even a blunder can be recovered without restarting the machine outright.
Team play raises the strategic stakes, with 5-on-5 fights allowing one member to play as the operator, a non-combative eye-in-the-sky that can mark targets and offer advice. Even without an operator, pre-planning is encouraged since you're able to set waypoints and positioning before the battle begins. The learning curve is brutal, with the controls often feeling at odds with the subtle math powering them. Improving your skills lets you earn money to access kitted-out cores, which then allow you to hit enemies that much harder. Until you get the hang of things, you can expect to spend some time in a hover-suit offering some reconnaissance assistance to more competent mechanized team members.
The ACs are more detailed than Transformer toys and far less repugnant, coming across as no-nonsense archetypes. Swapping parts is almost always more a matter of function. The eight main environments are dotted with wreckage and Blade Runner-esque floating televisions, but somehow manage to feel as sterile as the ACs. Even though the environments factor heavily into gameplay, the settings are drab with few standout features. Explosions and weapon effects don't feel very dynamic, and the game can struggle to keep up with the action, with the soundtrack sometimes being knocked offline. Small actions like switching menus can cause disproportionately long load times, and the game suffers frequent mission-killing bugs. Moody music, mixing in piano with synth, while the voice actors do their best with the script, trying their best to self-distinguish.
From Software has created a functional base from which to launch its lofty online dreams, but whether or not it will succeed depends on support from the developers and a player community. A self-selective franchise, the shrinking fan base that quibbles over the addition and subtraction of features will ultimately be the deciding factor of Armored Core's online health. There's a high bar to entry, but with the Chromehounds servers shuttered, it's the only game in town for couch-based mech combat.

HOUSE CALL: Menopause is time to take control of your own health
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Menopause is a milestone in a woman's life. In many cultures, it is a change that is celebrated. Older women are revered for their hard-earned wisdom.
In America, though, society tends to view this natural progression as a problem that has to be fixed, adding pressure to a life phase that is typically fraught with both emotion and stress. American women in their early 50s are often juggling the demands of caring for children, caring for aging parents and managing careers at their peak. Undoubtedly, it is a lot.
But one of the benefits of a half-century of living is experience. As women mature, we become more confident in our abilities and feel more comfortable not only in our multiple roles, but in our skin. In my practice, I encourage my patients to use menopause as a time to take control of their own health.
Mature women should concentrate on maintaining their health, modifying their lifestyles to help prevent diseases, and incorporating routine testing that will allow for early detection of any problems.
*Weight: Women should maintain a constant, desirable weight to help prevent diseases such as diabetes and certain cancers, and to prevent additional stress on bones and joints. Exercise not only helps maintain an appropriate weight, but helps control stress, lifts mood, improves balance and strength.
* Screenings: It is important that mature women undergo routine mammograms and colonoscopies as well as annual pelvic exams. Women should also have their cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar tested.
* Supplements: Bones can thin as women age, so it's useful to undergo periodic bone density tests and have your calcium and vitamin D levels checked.
* Mental health: This time of life can be overwhelming for women who are coping with caretaking and careers. It is important that you are aware of your own mental health, seeking counsel for feelings of depression or other concerns. Your primary care physician can refer you to other professionals if needed.
* Educate yourself: Many different sources of information exist. Some are good. Some are not. As a patient, learn all you can and then talk with your physician, who can help you weed out fact from fiction. From a physician's standpoint, there is a never a dumb question.
* Be honest: Physicians base their recommendations and treatments upon what their patients tell them; therefore, you have to tell the truth. Let your physician know what is going on with your body and in your life and share your concerns. Keep the lines of communication open.
As I said earlier, aging is a natural, inevitable part of life. If you take control and responsibility for your health, doing everything that you can do to ensure that you're as strong and active as you can be, your golden years can truly shine.

Flights delayed, canceled between Denver International Airport and LAX
Increased police presence at DIA
DENVER - As of Friday afternoon, at least a dozen flights flying between LAX and Denver were delayed or canceled because of the deadly shooting.
Frontier Airlines flies into Terminal 3, where the shooting happened Friday morning. The airline tweeted around 1 p.m. "All flights in/out of LAX for today have been suspended."
Several airlines including United, American and Southwest all fly into the airport. Southwest and Frontier were the first to start canceling the flights around noon. Some passengers headed to California were hopeful to still leave today. 7NEWS talked Brian Schoonober at noon. At that time his 3:40 p.m. flight to LAX was still scheduled to depart.
"It says it's on time now, so maybe I can get on it still," Schoonober said. An hour later, his flight was canceled.
7NEWS talked to Jody Morgan from Denver, who landed at LAX moments after the shooting. Morgan left at 8:30 Friday morning from DIA on a Southwest flight. She explained over the phone what a passenger near her saw as they landed in LA.
"One of the passengers on the plane when we were flying in saw emergency personnel. She saw police cars and she knew, she goes 'something's not right, I've never seen that before,'" Morgan explained.
When Reporter Lindsey Sablan talked to Morgan it had been four hours after the shooting, and Morgan was still at the terminal on lockdown with hundreds of other passengers. She said they had ran out of water and had heard the Red Cross was going to bring food.
"I'm just going to describe it as organized chaos. We are just in a holding pattern. The passengers that they deplaned, then there's people that missed flights, we're just sitting here waiting on news," she said.
Morgan explained everyone was trying to remain patient and sharing stories with one another.
"I met a man who was sitting at a restaurant when the shooter went by and he told me that he and his brother just got up and started running," Morgan said. "I'm telling you I feel very fortunate that I was on an airplane when this all happened because we landed right after it happened. To hear the stories of the people that were fleeing and kids that were separated from their parents and people that left their belongings, it's just traumatic experience for so many today."
Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for Denver International Airport told 7NEWS operations remained normal Friday. A Denver police officer on a bike said they brought in a few more officers to increase police presence.
Spokeswoman Laura Coale told 7NEWS there are armed officers at every checkpoint that is in use as part of their contract with the TSA.
Yet airport officials in Los Angeles admit armed police were removed from the checkpoints several months ago and placed on roving patrols.
They acknowledge that there was no armed security at the checkpoint Friday, but the roving officers were on the Terminal 3 concourse and engaged the shooter after he shot his way through security.
"I think you're going to see more police officers at checkpoints for a short period of time," said airport security consultant Jeff Price
Airport security consultant Jeff Price doesn't expect any wholesale changes to the checkpoint system in Denver or the rest of the country.
"Once we get farther away from this event, and it starts to become more of the memory and what's going on today, the investigation will drive whether there will be long term changes," said Price.

Book or Scroll of Life
The dead are judged - Revelation 20:11-15.
From the great White Throne God judges everybody that was dead by opening the Scroll of Life.
If your name is in the Scroll of Life you will stay with God. If your name is not in the Scroll of Life you will be sent to the Lake of Fire which is the second death.
Sin is vanquished forever.
A modern scroll is called a book.
Background Reading:
The Book or Scroll of Life
The Dead Are Judged
11 Then I saw a great white throne and him
who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there
was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead,
great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened.
Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged
according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and
death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was
judged according to what he had done. 14 Then
death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is
the second death. 15 If anyone's name was not
found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11-15
More Information:
A modern scroll is called a book.
These books are opened at the White Throne – one of the books is the Book of Life.
God finally deals with sin. The Book of Life is held by Jesus and it has the names of all believers.

When Star Trek: The Motion Picture debuted in December of 1979, many fans were disappointed by what they saw on the big screen. While Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the Enterprise's crew were presented in larger than life fashion, The Motion Picture was a relatively ponderous affair that spent more time watching ships travel the galaxy than actually doing anything interesting. It was Star Trek -- just Star Trek minus many of the things that made the original series so beloved. This didn't stop Paramount from going back to the drawing board, though. For the 1982 sequel, they booted series creator Gene Roddenberry and restored the adventure elements sadly missing from the original film. The result was The Wrath of Khan -- a title that is arguably the greatest movie in the Star Trek canon -- and a quintessential summer movie experience thanks to its blend of large-scale action set pieces and nifty (for the time) visual effects. Star Trek II had a story, but it wasn't particularly deep -- a perfect example of the "shut off your brain" mentality that has come to characterize films released between early May and late August.
The sequel is a follow up to the episode Space Seed, where Kirk squared off against Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban and his hair). Khan and his followers wound up exiled on Ceti Alpha V, but The Wrath of Khan picks up 15 years later, with the crazy villain hellbent on getting revenge against Kirk.
The reasons why The Wrath of Khan is so revered are numerous. It builds on a great episode of the original series, it feels a lot more like the Star Trek we all knew and loved, Shatner and Montalban chew scenery like it was a two dollar steak ... the list goes on and on. The Wrath of Khan captures everything that was so great about the original show and blows it up for the big screen.
How do you pick one great scene from a film like this? Truthfully, it's nearly impossible. Shatner and Montalban alone provide a dozen classic moments between them. From Kirk infamously screaming, "Khaaaaaan!" at the top of his lungs to Leonard Nimoy's tear-inducing final moments, this is one of those flicks film geeks and sci-fi fans can reminisce over for days.
In the scene I've chosen, we get to see Kirk and Khan meet up for the first time. Khan's taken control of the USS Reliant and lures Kirk in close enough to blast the Enterprise with the Reliant's weaponry, disabling the Enterprise. Khan then makes contact with Kirk and demands the Genesis program -- a terraforming technology that can make uninhabited planets livable.
Shatner and Montalban exchange lines, each actor apparently attempting to one-up the other on the over-the-top scale -- and I say that with pure admiration. Shatner and Montalban are the best part of this entire movie. I love when Khan mentions that Klingon proverb for revenge is that it's a dish best served cold, then adds, "It is very cold ... in spaaaaaace." Classic. This is particularly interesting since Shatner and Montalban have no scenes together physically. In fact, they shot their sequences roughly four months apart. Getting back on topic, Kirk -- ever the space cowboy, buys time for the crew while Spock finds the Reliant's prefix code. When entered, this code will allow the Enterprise to override the Reliant's controls, thereby lowering their shields so Kirk can give them a heaping helping of starship phasers.
This scene stands out for a number of reasons -- the aforementioned interaction between Shatner and Montalban, plus the way each actor gets their own moment to shine (Montalban's facial expression when his subordinate tells him the shields are down is priceless). Kirk is still the risk-taker we all know and love, but it's funny to see him older and a little less brash -- and stopping to put on his eyeglasses so he can read the Reliant's prefix code in the first place. If that weren't cool enough, we get appearances by Spock, Uhura, Mr. Sulu, and Scotty. All we needed was Bones to come along with a one-liner and this could have been the greatest scene ever. The scene ends with Kirk showing some humility, being embarrassed at getting "caught with his pants down" and surmising that he must be getting senile.
Wrath of Khan was an interesting moment of evolution for James Tiberius Kirk -- we see the Admiral is still stubborn and headstrong, but he's also a little wiser and humble too. It's these little character nuances -- hidden amongst all the macho bravado -- that help make this scene and The Wrath of Khan so memorable.

"We didn't' need the reference to table number as this was a place card only, not an escort card, so we removed that, changed the colors to navy, and added a reminder about what entree people chose to the back of the card to help guests and servers alike. I love the simplicity of this suite of designs. I wanted to use the 'nuff said invites too but was vetoed by the fiance. I'm glad we got to use them for both the menu and place card."
"I love this design and every time I order another piece of stationary for our big day, I fall in love with the design all over again."
"These cards were perfect for my engagement party. I appreciated the fact that the lettering at the bottom of the card was able to be changed to whatever I wanted - instead of it saying "You are seated at table ____" I was able to put "Welcome to the Party!" and everyone loved them. Thank you!"
"WPD had tons of styles and options to choose from. Finally settled on this design. We had some customization requests on what text was printed on the cards. The designers emailed me the next day with a proof and it was perfect. Thanks for a great experience and hassle free purchase."
"These escort cards went PERFECTLY with our winery wedding theme and decor. They are going to look stunning on the tables, and I'm sure the guests will be talking about these for weeks. Thank you WPD for designing the perfect stationary!"

Aquaform technology makes the lenses naturally wettable, so you can avoid dry eyes without the need for eye drops or other wetting agents.

NORMAN — Pausing frequently between words, tears in his eyes, Oklahoma defensive coordinator Brent Venables met with the media Thursday night to reflect on the career of senior middle linebacker Austin Box, who died Thursday.
OU defensive coordinator Brent Venables struggles as he reflects on Austin Box
"He was living the dream," Venables said. "We all have dreams. We all have goals. For a lot of us, it never happens. We don't get to live those dreams. He was living his dream being an Oklahoma Sooner. He grew up his whole life doing exactly what he was doing everyday."
Box, from Enid, was found unconscious by a friend Thursday morning at an El Reno home.
"We're numb, heartbroken," Venables said. "Austin was a great teammate. He was a joy to coach. Everybody on our team loved him. He will be greatly missed.
"Our focus and concern is to be with the Box family at this time, give them the support that they need. (And) to our players, the support and nurturing they'll need as well. You can't plan for this. There's no blueprint for it. I just know a young man was tragically taken from us today."
OU players are dispersed around the country. After final exams ended last week, players were given three weeks off before they return in early June for summer classes and workouts. Venables said counseling will be available 24/7.
"News travels fast, but you want to inform people the appropriate way," Venables said. "Our people got together rather quickly and did it the right way."
The Sooners won their final five games last season to win a seventh Big 12 title under coach Bob Stoops, who is vacationing in Europe.
It was no coincidence the defense improved when Box, sidelined by a back injury the first half of the season, started the final five games.
"He's made a ton of big plays," said Venables, who was Box's position coach. "He was instrumental in the turnaround we had, to finish the way we did and become Big 12 champions. Without him, I'm not sure we would have finished the same way...

Knee Pain
Knee pain is a common reality afflicting many people of various ages each day. A healthy knee absorbs shock from walking and running, and provides a smooth joint surface for leg movement and flexibility. When our knees hurt, our mobility is hindered to various degrees. That is why it is very important not to ignore what our bodies are telling us and to find out what is causing this pain.
Most people have only a basic understanding of how our knees work. This can make it difficult for the person experiencing pain to diagnose its source. Our knee joints actually have many integral parts, which work closely in connection with one another and an issue with any one of them may cause mild to severe pain.
The knee is the largest joint in the human body. Our knees joints are made up of three areas where our thighbones (femur) and shinbones (tibia) meet at the kneecap (patella). The knee joint is surrounded by ligaments, which wrap both the inside and the outside of the joint, giving it the strength and stability it needs. There is also a relatively thick crescent-shaped pad of cartilage between the femur and tibia called the meniscus. The meniscus performs the function of absorbing the vast majority of your weight whenever you stand. Also, within the knee joint, are sacs containing fluid called, bursa. These bursa sacs also help to reduce friction by lubricating the knee joint.
So, our knees are actually made up of many small joints buffering and connecting with our bones and tendons, but an issue with any one of those parts will cause joint pain. The knee joint is one of the most commonly injured joints due to its continual weight-bearing function. The most common cause of knee pain is a sudden or acute direct impact, abnormal twist, or fall on the knee. Within moments of the knee injury there will be a combination of symptoms such as pain, bruising, or swelling, and the knee or lower leg may lose feeling, go limp, and become cold. The knee injury can also damage the knee bones and surrounding nerves and blood vessels, which may cause a tingling sensation and cause areas of the leg appear pale or blue.
The repeated overuse of the knee joint can cause injuries that develop over time. Repetitive activities that involve running, biking, stair climbing, or jumping will cause stress and put pressure on the legs, which will eventually lead to knee pain.
Any size tear in one of the ligaments will cause pain, even while at rest, and can often cause swelling and will be warm to the touch. Often an accompanying "popping" sound can be heard when a ligament has suffered an injury. Pain from a ligament tear only worsens from movement.
The meniscus can also be torn, often due to sharp rotating movements, making it a common sports injury. With age, comes cartilage degeneration, allowing the meniscus to tear more easily.
Bursitis describes the painful condition of an inflamed bursa sac. There are 160 bursae found within the human body, most notably located near large joints such as the elbows, hips, shoulders, and knees. Bursitis can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness. The skin is often flush red and warm to the touch.
The condition of an inflamed tendon is known as, tendonitis. Tendonitis of the knee is found either the tendon below the kneecap (patellar tendonitis) or in the back of the knee (popliteal tendonitis) and is often caused by some type of strenuous event.
In addition to physical injury, knee discomfort may also be due to a condition or disease concerning the joints, tissue, bones, or nerves within or surrounding the knee joint. The knee joint is the most common joint involved in rheumatic diseases; the most notable of these is arthritis.
Essentially, arthritis is inflammation within a joint itself. Many people suffer from arthritis and there are different types, such as osteoarthritis, which is a non-inflammatory type of arthritis caused by the degeneration of cartilage in the knee joint. Conditions such as gout and rheumatoid arthritis are inflammatory types of arthritis. Arthritis of the knee can be so painful and debilitating that a surgical replacement of the knee joint is sometimes necessary.
Chondromalacia is a condition referring to an abnormal softening of the cartilage under the kneecap. This is the most common joint involved with chronic knee pain and a very common cause of knee discomfort in young women.
Treatments for many forms of knee pain include rest, therapeutic massage, immobilization, ice pack, and anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or aspirin. However, some knee conditions may be treated with physical therapy, additional medications and surgery.
Home knee pain treatment can be utilized through a variety of different methods. Resting and placing a soft pillow under your knee will help soothe and relax the joint. Temperature therapies with ice or heat packs are also very useful – for the first 48 hours avoid heat, and once the swelling is gone apply heat. Compression and wrapping the injured or sore area with a elastic bandage will help decrease swelling, but don't wrap too tight! Elevation of the injured area on pillows when applying ice or heat is also a great way to heal the area when you are sitting or lying down. Try to keep the injured area at or above the level of your heart center to minimize swelling.
Self-massage the area gently and send healing thoughts to the area to increase blood flow and healing. You can also perform a variety of self-stretches to maintain and extend your flexibility in the area. Two great exercises are a hamstring stretch, and a knee-to-chest exercise. Avoid rigorous exercises such as running, skiing, jumping, and anything else that might cause stress or impact to your knee joint.
During the course of healing your knee pain take care to watch for signs of infection, numbness, tingling, weakness, and a pale or blue color. If the symptoms do not improve with home treatment or become severe or more frequent you should seek further medical attention.
Remember to always stay positive and believe that you will heal your pain, and you have already won half the battle.

Help greatly appreciated! Cambodia/Laos - 2 months

Hi all
I am planning to spend a month in Cambodia followed by a month in Laos later this year (Oct/Nov). Bangkok is where I will fly into and out of the region. I would like to find a balance between seeing as much as I can in these two countries whilst not rushing through every town.
I have never travelled before, let alone to the region, so I was wondering if anyone experienced would be able to suggest a good route to take for this trip and which places are good to spend a little time in and which are not that worthwhile.
Thanks heaps.

Best to check first this site or some guidebook to see what attractions fit your interests. Assuming that you go overland from Cambodia to Laos it would be natural to start on the coast in the south and work your way up north. It is however a small country and with most trips only taking half a day from Phnom Penh you would have the freedom to mix it up.
In 1 month you can see almost all places of interest to the average tourist/backpacker.
In general Cambodia doesn't have that many "must see" things, apart from Angkor Wat, so take it easy and stay longer in a place if you like it.
The "must see/do" things (few sights in Phnom Penh, a coastal town and Siem reap) can be done in roughly 2 weeks.
Fill the rest in according to your interests
#2 Posted: 7/5/2011 - 17:46
Worthwhile to me, not worthwhile to you. Guidebook it, plan a general itinerary. Get here and don't be afraid to scrap the itinerary.

I have never been to Laos, but have spend a lot of time in Cambodia and I'm visiting for the 4th time in July.
My highlights were - Siem Reap, for the community projects, the restaurants, the beautiful rice fields and countryside sunsets and the temples
Phnom Penh - it's so fast paced and crazy!
Sihanoukville for a seaside escape not ruined by high rise buildings and concrete
Other really worthwhile areas to consider:-
Mondulkiri/Ratanikiri for the lush unspoilt jungle
Kratie - for the Irrawady Dolphins
Kampot/Kep - for sleepy seaside towns and delicious fresh seafood (and Bokor Hill Station if open)
If you want any recommendations on places to stay etc, send me a message. I have a friend whose second home is Laos if you'd like to know more about that too

Rasheed's advice is very useful - plan it, then be prepared to deviate from your plans. Until you arrive, you won't know how tired the travelling will make you, or how long it will take you to adjust to the new culture. Allow yourself time to wander around and soak up the atmosphere without constantly checking your watch. You'll meet plenty of people in guesthouses and en route who can make recommendations to you and share their experiences. And don't be afraid to go off the beaten track of tourists and find your own special places. Asia is generally safe and relatively easy, provided you bring a big dose of common sense in your backpack. Enjoy!

Hey, I am off travelling in Oct, I am planning on doing some volunteering in Cambodia. I will have roughly 7 weeks to do North Thailand and Vietnam, then 3 weeks work in Cambodia, as am meeting friends in Thailand for Xmas. Is this enough time to see everything, as if it isn't I can volunteer in Thailand instead.
Thanks Em. x

Hi Emily
I can recommend an awesome project to volunteer with in Cambodia. They are called KidsCareCambodia-AranhVillage. I'm not sure if we can add websites so google it? It is run by an Australian girl and her Cambodian partner. He does most of the ground work as he lives in the village, and does it all voluntarily, his only income coming from driving tourists around town and the temples in his Tuk Tuk.
It is community based in a village, and they also work in conjunction with other NGO's in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

The show featured haute mamas (including actress Lisa Rinna) flaunting spring's coolest clothes. Host Wendy Williams emphasized that "moms on a mission" come in all shapes and sizes, so Lycra is necessary (she read our minds!). The looks came in a slew of silhouettes, but here are the top trends from the runway.

"Top of Class in World Clocks"
Version: World Time Manager 2.3
I've used several clock apps on my systems and none can compare to World Time 2006.
Loads of features and highly customizable.
I've been using it for well over four years now and it just keeps getting better.
And now, it's an even better value, as the new licensing agreement allows for installation of two PCs in one household.
For anyone who communicates with people all over the World...
A World Clock all is a must have. World Time 2006 is the best!
"A great thing"
Version: World Time Manager 2.3
Actually a great thing and the best computer clock I ever found. If you have your friends and family spreaded around the world like me, its a perfect tool to organize yourself. Easy to use. Simply the Best.
"very nice"
Version: World Time Manager 2.3
easy to use, very nice looking
"ti complcated to use"
Version: World Time Manager 2.3
it gave lots of info
to hard to setup and how to use it,and it will not let you fix any mistake you make
"Perfect Worldtime Solution"
Version: World Time Manager 2.1
I am using Utechs software for many years now, and the latest version of the worldtimer software is amazing. For $19.95 this is the only worldtimer I found worth multiple times the money. I am using the product as I run an online business and need keep track of a lot of different time zones, and find the option of having floating time clocks on my desktop very convenient, now with even clever alarm options and the visual world maps, it makes my life so much easier, and I keep telling people about this easy to use application for a reason! Great customer support as well, if you have a technical question!
"Helpful, Easy to use, and fun"
Version: World Time Manager 1.3.28
The clock is there when you need it, is not in your face all the time. It slides to the side and hides until you are ready to use it. I find it great and easy to use, since I often need world times at my finger tips.
Nothing so far. All has been smooth in the operations, no real trouble.
"Top of Class in World Clock Apps"
Version: World Time Manager 1.3.28
I have used several "World Clock" apps over the years... But this is the one I stick with. Loads of options and highly customizable.
My favorite feature is that all the clocks autohide and appear with a just a nudge of the cursor.
If you communicate with as many people around the globe as I do... A time zone app is a must. And World Time by Utech is a leader!
"The best type of world time program I have seen"
Version: World Time Manager 1.3.28
The vast number of cities, countries that are covered and the way the time zones can be clearly seen in comparrison to each other.
"Ability to identify timezones of colleagues all around the world"
Version: World Time Manager 1.3.28
Easy to read customisable clocks always available with one click
"A real bonus to our business."
Version: World Time Manager 1.3.28
Very user friendly. Easy and quick to operate. The time changes for daylight saving around the world save so much time and hassle.

Raiders of Maraqua Guide
Raiders of Maraqua Guide
Welcome to my guide. When I started getting game avatars I was suprised to find there wasn't a readily avaliable guide to this game. There is a strong aspect of this game that is very puzzle-like, so creating a guide should have been easy. But after a few tries you'll learn, as I did, that this game isn't strictly a puzzle. There are treasure guardians who, in addition to hunting you down, also go out of their way to block off your ability to beat a level. Sometimes they're so effective you have no choice but to allow yourself to be captured or just to restart the level. THER IS HOPE! With some advanced knowledge of what you intend to do you'll be able to work your way through a level quicker and with less chance of being blocked out.
One very important point. Level 19 is a bear, and unless you're very lucky it's almost impossible to beat. Yet if you're looking for the avatar that's OK. You don't need to get past that level to score over 800 points.
The symbols I'm using here are pretty simple and I'll use them throughout the guide. The "X" is a bubble that needs to be removed by pushing or popping. The two parallel lines will show where you need something to stop the movement of a pushed object. Walls won't need the lines, they're not going anywhere.
Things to Remember:
Pretty striaght forward. Push the first gem into the trunk and then push the second gem back to where the first was located. Then push it into the trunk. NOTE: Just getting the gems between here and level 19 WILL NOT get you the avatar. You have to work at getting the the max out of your points, so make sure you don't push that last gem into the trunk before you get all the points you can from pushing bubbles onto guardians. The guardians sometimes take a few seconds to show up in this level so just wait. They'll come.
Just as easy as the first level. Push the closest gem to the trunk straight in. Push the dark bubble up to create a blocker. (if the bubble above has been removed you'll need to push another bubble into it's place so you'll still have a block) Now push the top left gem over to the new block, get behind it and push it into the chest. Don't forget to max out the avaliable points for pushing bubbles into guardians.
Things start to get a little more complex here. First clear out the bubbles between the closest gem to the chest and the chest itself. Don't push the gem in. Instead, clear a path between the two gems and push the right hand gem over to the left one. You can now push the gem that's directly under the chest in. Push up the dark bubble beneath the left hand stone to create a block. Push the remaining gem up and then left. It should be lined up with the chest and you can push it home.
This is the first level you get to do without the interference of the guardians. It's pretty straighforward but be aware that it's still possible to lose on levels like this. Bonus gems or extra lives may block a gem or rock from being able to move forward enough for you to remove it. There's usually only one solution when that happens and that's pushing the "restart level" button. It's not fun when it happens but it's one of those things that makes this avatar so hard to get and so rare to have.
Yes it's as easy as it looks. This level is all about fighting guardians and getting as many points as you can. Getting two guardians in one shot will get you 15 points and three will net you a very nice 35 points. When you're not getting any more points from pushing bubbles onto guardians, push the last gem into the chest and move on.
One of the tricks to this level is to ignore the closest gem at first and get the top right one into the chest right away. You can do this by popping the bubble to the gem's left and pushing it into its place. Push down into the ready made block and then straight into the chest. The other gem creates more of a problem. This is the first level where you have to build a multiple bubble block. Once the block is set you're free to push the last gem right and then straight up into the chest.
A very kind neopian helped me come up with a simpler version here. I had a much more complex answer to this level but if you start by pushing the bubble that's up top near the chest to the right everything is much easier. After that remember to create a two bubble block below the lowest gem. To do this go through the top layer of bubbles so you have a second bubble to push over. After that's done push the lowest gem into the chest with the route shown. The second gem should be just as easy. Don't go hunting for guardians till your gem is ready for the last puch into the chest. Further more you want to keep a real close eye on it. For some reason the guardians on this level are prone to pushing your gem agasinst the wall where you can't get it, even if you aren't anywhere around.
For the most part you don't have to worry too much about Guardians for this level. If one pops out of the bubble you need to use as a block you're sunk. Also if a guardian is swimming back and forth on the very bottom, push a bubble up from the stack on the lower right and wait. Eventually they'll come up that shaft and with good timing you can capture it. In order to make sure that you don't lose that necessary bubble on the bottom generally you should ignore any guardian that's appearing in the top left. Just swim by them before they start moving and finish the level off. There'll be time to get points on other levels.
There are plenty of opportunities to gain points on this level. So many bubbles need to be moved around and not a single block needs to be built so bubble guardians as you go. First pop the two light bubbles on your left. Push the dark bubble up, you'll need a way out later. Next push or pop the bubbles surrounding the gem below you. Push it up and then right. Up again and then into the chest. If there aren't guardians up top now's a good time to get that gem. Push it left and them down. You'll have to plow your way through to the very left to get out. If there are slorgs there (and there usually are) you'll either have to bubble them or rush on by when they're moving in the small areas below the exit row. Clear out the bubbles to the left of the bottom right gem and push it to the wall. Push it straight up and you're on to the next level. You'll want to get the bottom right gem before the top one if there are guardians up there. Just in case you're caught you'll have an easy 5 more points on your score.
Another deceptively simple board. Guardians are particualarly prone to destroying the bubbles in the empty space above the chest. If that happens you'll have to work at building another block to use. But if you quickly get your gem into place right above the chest you should be able to rack up some quick points from guardians before you push it in to finish the level.
Something goes wrong with this level about one out of three times you play it. Either a gem or extra life is in that top row. Or a Guardian clears out all the bubbles in the middle shaft and you can't get by. If a Guardian is in the middle row sometimes you can use the bubble right at the turn to capture it or, if you get lucky you could wait it out in one of the niches in the lower right and hope the guardian swims down and then swims past you. It's a stretch. Usually when this level gets out of reach that "Restart Level" button is the only option. Don't worry too much about it. Play this game enough and you start to get really fimiliar with using it.
Level 12 and 13 are great levels for getting lots of points from battling guardians. The only thing you really need to keep an eye on are those dark bubbles in the top right. Don't try and take a short cut and push them towards the gem there. They'll only end up getting in your way. Other than that go hunt some slorgs!
There's only one thing you have to do right and that's push the rock between the top left gem and the chest either up or down. Pushing it right or left creates problems you don't want. Once again guardian hunting is what this level is all about.
To get out from behind the rocks you can push any rock to the right, AS LONG AS IT'S NOT ONE OF THE TWO MARKED WITH A SQUARE! Those two will prohibit you from doing what you want. You'll then push the top gem down using the gem below it as a block. Push the top gem right and then down. After that you shouldn't need any help with what to do last.
Ahhh levels without guardians to get in your way. On this one don't forget to move that left hand rock down BEFORE you even touch the gem. Other wise you'll be pushing that "Restart Level" button again. Move the right hand rock right, up, right, and up again to create the necessary block. As for the gem. Push it left to line it up with the shell and then push it down. Pushing it right lines it up with the gap. Swim around the wall and push upwards then right. Pushing up again you'll run into the block you created with the rock. Swim around the wall one more time to push the gem into the waiting chest.
While it may look like there's no possible way to mess this level up you'd be mistaken. Trying to cut corners so you don't have to swim around so much will make it impossible to finish. Instead you need to push the gems in one at a time starting with the one just to the left of the chest. Then the one in the lower right, followed by the one a bit above the chest. The one on the right is next and finally back to the gem that you started next to. Don't forget to push the rock up to create a block before you push the gem to your right. If you follow all that it really is impossible to fail.
Lots of red herrings here. This level is so much easier than it even looks. Push the rock above the gem to the right. Now push the rock over by the shells (the one that's above the others) down with its friends. Push the right hand bubble up and then right. Go back to the gem. Push it down into the shell. Push it LEFT into the next shell and then finally up into the last shell. This'll line you up with that bubble block you've already placed. Push the gem to the right. Then it's into the home stretch pushing it up and then left into the chest.
This might be my favorite level. It's the best reason I can give for having a guide because the solution isn't immediately apparent. You have to build a few blocks here and one of them is a multiple bubble block. Let's get started. There's a middle row of three bubbles. Push the right and middle bubbles up. Right below the middle bubble there's a single bubble. Push it up as well and then over to the right. You'll be using that block a lot. The two bubbles left on the bottom, push them one at a time. Up, right to the block, and then down. You're two bubbles short of the block you really need. You'll find what you need in that top row. The bubble that you didn't touch in what used to be the middle row is now a block. Push the bubble above it down. Push it right and down with the other two. Lastly you can push one of the other top row bubbles into place above that middle bubble and repeat the same process. You should now have a 4 bubble block in the bottom right and you're ready for the gems. One at a time. Push them down and right through the shaft. Up into the block and then right. Push them down into the big block you constructed and BOOM you can slam them home into the chest.
I find this level to be straight up impossible. Now I know there're people that have beaten it. They have to be getting farther along if they are putting up scores in the thousands, but I don't know how they do it. Unfortunately they haven't written a guide to follow. So here's what I think should happen for you to push all the gems into the chest. Yet unless you have a trick for getting by 4 guardians with a passion for pushing the necessary bubbles out of the way you're not going to beat it either. Instead this is where you have to buckle down and focus on points. Ignore the gems (except for maybe the bottom right one, that one's possible to get) and go for points by bubbleing the guardians. If you are quick enough you should be able to nab quite a few points on this level and push you score north of 800. HELLO AVATAR!!
Here's a look at level 20. Notice there are no gems. It's all about getting points from fighting guardians till you die. Thanks to pfkcmk for providing the screenshot!
Hopefully this helped you and you now possess a shiny and highly-enviable avatar. If you liked this guide send me a neomail: darkwing693. I worked hard on getting this guide up and running and I'd love to hear if it helped. Also if you have a secret that I don't know, like one that would help me get by level 19, I'd love to hear it.

WATERTOWN The Mental Health Association in Jefferson County will continue to celebrate its rebirth during its 10th annual agency celebration May 22 at Watertown Elks Lodge 496, 728 Bradley St.
Executive Director Korin A. Scheible said the event, to begin at 6 p.m. that day, has transformed alongside the agency as a whole. The annual dinner with a guest speaker on a mental health topic has switched to a celebratory party with hors doeuvres, member and community recognition, and highlights for the coming year.
Instead of focusing on a speaker, we wanted to focus on our members, she said. For our members, its important to have something for them to strive for, and to recognize challenges theyve overcome. Thats important in a peer setting.
Award categories include member of the year, two volunteers of the year, parent of the year, community member of the year and business of the year.
Without those other agencies and volunteers, itd be hard for us to do our work, Ms. Scheible said. The two businesses were recognizing were helpful moving us and getting us to our new place within the agency. We rely on community.
The Mental Health Association relocated earlier this year to 425 Washington St., from 724 State St. After that shift, the nonprofit revised some staff positions and created a more open space for programs downstairs. Since the relocation, Assistant Director Rebecca M. Hicks said, agency clients have been more engaged in services. She said the agency has more than 100 clients, some of whom visit community agencies to invite more people with mental health diagnoses to the Mental Health Association.
Proceeds from the May 22 fundraiser, which includes a silent auction, raffles and entertainment, will help offset the cost of extra items, events or programs members seek. From specific funding streams, the Mental Health Association already offers a drop-in center for socialization; Bridges for skill building; Agape for helping members navigate court systems; HUD for helping members find permanent housing; respite, which provides a place for clients to go if their relatives or a caretaker need a break; Vet Center for peer-to-peer support for veterans; Food for Thought for providing low-cost meals, and advocates, who support all programs.
Ms. Scheible said while she has some ideas as to how to expand services, the agency first will focus on strengthening its core programs in its new location. Eventually, the Mental Health Association will launch a foundation and develop a campaign to fund a new kitchen.
The agency simultaneously will prepare for upcoming yet unknown changes associated with the states redesign of the Medicaid system.
People can support the agency by calling as soon as possible at 788-0970 to reserve a spot for the dinner. Tickets are $25 each or $35 at the door.
